I listen to the Black Guy You Tips podcast because
Rod and Caring are hot.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Hey, welcome to another episode of the Black Guy Who
Tips podcast. Find us everywhere you find podcasts, search the
Blackout Tips.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Leave us five star reviews.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
I am your host, Rod, joined us always by my
co host, and we're here on a Saturday morning to
respond to what you had to say if you had
anything to say throughout the week. That means emails, voicemails,
comments on the website, comments on our YouTube, votes in
the polls, all the ways that people get in contact
with us and let us know how they feel about

(00:47):
the show. The official weapon of the show is voting chair,
the volting chair that is correct. And the unofficial sport
of the show, what about that's.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Right, bulletball and bulletball extreme.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
The first people we like to shout out are the
people that gave us money throughout the week, because you know,
they put in on this, they don't actually get anything
other than the shout out from us. Uh, so we
just want to make sure they do get that shout out.
Other people they give money, but they get premium shows
and we work hard behind that paywall and have more

(01:24):
shows than most podcasts that are not premium, right, you know,
so that's that's what we got. So all right, here
we go with no further ado. Let's get these people
that shout outs.

Speaker 5 (01:45):
We're not show.

And that's everybody this week. Thank you, everybody took a.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Time out to put a little money in our pockets.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
All right, five star reviews.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
We didn't get any new ones the last time I
see this from January, I mean from February. I mean
June sixth, so that means it would have been over
week ago. But also I'm not sure if already or not,
which means I'm gonna read it again just in case.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
We're gonna technically count this.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
As a new one. But you sons of guns out there,
leave us five star reviews. If you're listen to this
and you have a left one, what are you waiting on?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Come on, man, and I guess until they fix whatever
issue will know you said, it's something that they're different
than they're doing with Apple, but it's one of them
things if you leave US international and take a screenshot
or something.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
To send it to us.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
So refreshing from Disco Angel.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Five stars. Absolutely one of the best podcasts out there.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Never born.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I either learned something new or gain a new perspective
and considering topics.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Thank you to the Dynamic Duo.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Thank you remember that one? Thank you.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
I don't remember it either, so you know, maybe that's
the one and we just had, you know, I just had.
Don't remember doing it, but thank you everybody for the
five star views. Now to the comments on our website,
which we got plenty of. Of course, we had a
bunch of episodes last week. I think the feedback episode was.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Wait did I not put the feedback episode on here?

Speaker 5 (03:52):
Well?

Speaker 3 (03:52):
What am I doing?

Speaker 6 (03:53):
All right?

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
There the fake steak six comments thirty one oh nine
The fake steak. First comment is from Apia Apia, who says,
thinking that progress comes naturally with time, this is something
that really annoys me because there are so many examples
against it in world history.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Right, there was the antique in Europe.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I don't know what that means great for science and
philosophy in the Middle Age came after it with things
like inquisition and science phobia, and it diminishes the achievements
of people who died for freedom because with this kind
of logic, their fight wasn't necessary or casual for the progress.
It was nice add on and the progress was always
on this way exactly Opia, damn, thank you.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
I couldn't put it better.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's you know, it's like when people say stuff like, uh, well,
like I was on the Karen Hunter Show yesterday and
we were talking to Kevin Fraser, and Kevin Fraser was
talking about, you know, these activists and stuff and how
back in the day they do it better than these
activists now somehow, and how like Senator Paedia was acting emotionally.
You shouldn't have got it, We shouldn't have pulled that

(04:57):
stunt to get arrested in front of those cameras and
all that stuff, quote unquote, and I was saying, you know,
I let them cook, but I was when it came
my turn to talk about it, I was like, yeah,
I actually think there's some people that need to see
this emotional stuff.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Emotions and shame.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Are some of the biggest weapons you have when you
have a nonviolent movement, which is what the Democrats and
us the rest of us have. We're not the ones
going out shooting politicians, which I just read about this morning.
There might be two politicians dead, including their spouses getting shot.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
So like, we're not pulling up on people. We don't.
We're not running around with guns. We're not. That's not
our domain.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
So the things you have are gonna be things like
this that you hope emotionally lead some people to make
some better decisions that when they see like, oh man,
they're arresting people who disagree, they're they're they're taking away
people's First Amendment rights and stuff like that. Anyway, my
point being, Kevin Fraser brought up Martin Luther King and

(05:59):
how disciplined and his stuff was, and I had to
bring up, like, yeah, but what did they say about him?
They said what you're saying that he was an aggravator,
an agitator, they said he is he was. They said
his demonstrations were violent even when they weren't. They did
put the force of the police on them. The police
weren't there just because the police went down there under

(06:21):
the lie that they're not protesting the right way. They
we need to go beat the shit out of them
in front of everybody to show you guys that they're.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
The ones who are wrong.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
And so I don't think those parallels have died. I
think those things still exist today. I don't think much
has changed. And Martin Luther King died because they killed him.
I did not die of old age, no one protesting
the right way. I agree he died because they wanted
him dead. Okay, people saw him as the agitator.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
So I don't think.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
I don't think we I think we do ourselves at
disservice when we do, like you said, when people act like, well,
we're always were bending towards progress, No, we actually were not.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
You have to bend that motherfucker, Oppia says.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
I always find the gender wars amusing but also somehow depressing, how.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Even the women push the patriarchy agenda.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
You don't like the location for a date, suggests something
else and offer to pay. When I was dating, I
was for sure steak dinner attractive, but I didn't like
owning owing someone and valuing valued having no obligations. I
know I find it easy to make my own money
than having to tolerate an annoying rich man on my side.
So I maximally accepted a drink for coffee. With this attitude,

(07:30):
I always stay financially and dependent, even with two kids
in a long time marriage. And I'm in this marriage
because I want to knocuse I have to. I could
pay for my life and those of our kids on
my own easily. I'm a serious businesswoman and could buy
me a steak dinner constantly. The irony, I eat almost
no meat. I'm sorry for all the bragging. I only
did it to anger the patriarchy.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
It worked.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
The patriarchy just called me and told me to smile more. Ah.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, I think the sad part is that you're falling
for it.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
You're falling for it.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
We don't talk about that on the show. Okay, when
we do gender Wars, we're not talking about the value
of these people's opinions. Okay, we are talking about the
content that I'm making. We're assuming it's mostly faking bullshit.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
And we don't go cause people to argue.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah, we're not trying to defeat the patriarchy, help the patriarchy,
or discuss the patriarchy.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Really like we just we understanding some bullshit.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
All right.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
They kind of got you that you're getting depressed. If
you're getting depressed in that segment, that's on you. You
gotta you got it tough enough.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Okay, it is depressed, and I get it.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, you got well, Karen's trying to make you feel better.
But no, that's not that's not the part of that segment.
You shouldn't be getting depressed.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
We're laughing at these people, grown ass people making skits
on the internet hoping to get the rest of us
to argue with each other over things like first dates
and steak dinners.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
I'm not gonna do it, Okay.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Kara can placate you and make you think that that's okay,
but I'm not gonna do it. Ronald Raphael said, there
was so many topics to comment on our written the
whole essay, but the parabe Karan is a benevolent fellow.
Give it up for yourselves, beautiful audiences, great feedback, folks,
and fellow commentators. Give yourselves a slow clapping ovation. My
kids first wanted to be a princess warrior thanks to

(09:11):
watching Shira a little earlier than she should That was tricky.
Now for the past two years, she's been consistent with
wanting to be a scientist that takes care of animals.
Now that's easier to work with in this day and
age that are plenty of brown skinned women I can
find on TV and socials and various forms of that field, included.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Doctor ray Wynn.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
To show the kid ooh as inspiration gives me an
extra cool points and she's super excited. So when when
now I return back to writing my new book that
will surely come out before George R. R. Martin's on
a Girl in Russia falling in love with a random
sexy boy in the fishing village of Bayle Bayelsa No
gender wars, Fashion against this shell prosper Amazon, Apple TV

(09:49):
called me now Rod play the ovation for everyone again.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Y'a also wrote another long one, Oh. By the way,
we might.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Get a chance to test out one of the political
theories in real like if Zoran, who heavily inexperienced but
says everything that, according to social media, one must say
to win, where's the DNC primaries over Cuomo. The expectation
is that, unlike before, we would now have a competitive
general election, as he doesn't have a strong Black or
Jewish or moderate base. Cuomo and Adams Eric Adams are

(10:20):
popular amongst those bases and will be on the independent
boxes in the general. Then again, should Cuomo win the
DNC primaries, the Working Families Party would most likely filled
Zoran I personally before Adrian Adams or Brad Lander or
State Senator Mari in the general election as their candidate.
I'm gonna be honest, dude, I don't I'm not in
New York. I don't know any of.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
These people except Cuomo and Adams.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
And I've been not paying attention to y'all's election because
I know, no matter what y'all right in, it'd always
be some shitty ass results like it just it'd be
like this the person we should fuck with. And I'll
be like, well, they have no chance in hail of winning,
so who is.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Gonna really be? They normally go with the DNC.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Zarn is a young man who is also a Democrat socialist.
He has ran a great campaign and however barely any
traction amongst the neighborhoods of color.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Young folks love him, so we'll see.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
I'll take him over Cromo, though, But situation is very rightful,
it's rigged.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Instead of turning out the volumes, Yeah, I feel you.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Let us know, check back in, let us know the results, because,
like I said, that's very interesting as a theory.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
I don't know these people enough to have.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Any level of true commentary on anything they're saying or doing.
So that's why i'm not I haven't even talked about
on the show, Like, you know, we live in Charlotte's No,
we don't. You know, the mayor of New York's not
necessarily huge for us, but yeah, let us know if
that works, because, like I said, I think all these DNC,
all these socialists, young up and coming, like, get these

(11:42):
old people out of paint. They need to run and
they need to try to win, and that's it. The
rest of it. I don't really give a fuck. Keep
it that playground.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
I'm not getting all. And that goes to.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Even for those of y'all who get very mad at
those young people, I'm not even doing that.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
I don't have anything to be mad at them about.
No win. Yeah, they're supposed to want to be represented.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Go your job is like the rest of us, Stop
acting like all these old DNC people are just being
propped up like they're running and they've done the end
rows in the community.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
They're not rigging the vote. People are voting for them right.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
And I've seen some people take those spots by getting
on the ground, work out working them old people, getting
in the community, and they be winning them primaries sometimes.
But you can't win it on Twitter, you can't win
it on Bill Mahers show, and you can't win that
shit going on like a podcast. You're gonna have to
win that in the community. Town hall means you're gonna

(12:40):
have to win that knocking door to door, canvas and
neighborhoods and so the rest of this shit, I don't
really care.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
It's a waste of my time, like it really is.
Don't care.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Don't care unless you and but like this, you running,
you lose with that old person just at work. You
don't know why you think an old person just supposed
to die and give it to your bitch, take it
out my mind, other fucking hands.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
And I think that that is a solution we could consider,
because I think it would be very inspiring to see
a wave of new up and coming voices challenge and
win like like you have to. But You're gonna have
to play the game right. You don't have to find
some people to give you money, whether it be a
single individual donations or you find some rich people that

(13:22):
also are tired of these old people.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
But you're gonna have to put the work in.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
You're not just gonna be able to get everybody to
trust you because you have a lot of complaints.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Everyone got a lot of complaint they do.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
People are looking for a lot of solutions and inspiration,
you know, so you got to inspire people. It's an
emotional game, if nothing else. We should have learned that
after last election cycle. It's an emotional game. The the
truth of things doesn't really.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Matter to people as much as how they feel.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
And if how they feel is more important, then you
can't necessarily dictate how people feel. But I know what's
not working, and that's just complaining about it. Evie says,
I was really surprised to sey'all mean Nintendo tuos are
still available when I was at the store this week.
I've been seeing people all over the internet saying they're
in stock everywhere. Either Nintendo or testiplated how popular the
console would be and provided more than enough, or maybe

(14:10):
this isn't as big an interest for this price point.
I think it may be the latter, because one of
the things that made the first Witch so attractive is
that it was cheaper than the Xbox and PlayStation.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Oh yeah, I about to say this is right up
by lane child.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
I appreciate you saying this so much.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yes, because you know, we don't often get to do
this like back to back.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
We but honestly, I have to play the ride. Was
right music? Okay, pray yep yep, pray ye pray?

Speaker 6 (14:47):
What was that?

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Agatt?

Speaker 7 (14:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Right, and let me give Karen some Karen be knowing.

Speaker 7 (15:00):
Ah, I was right about something.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
The switch Tube becomes the fastest selling Nintendo hardware ever,
with over three point five million units sold worldwide in
just four days four days. The numbers now are even
bigger than that. But four days. They didn't even wait
five days. They didn't even wait a week. They reported
this ship four days in to let you know, like,
uh uh uh ain't no uh the price point don't

(15:40):
matter to people. They lied, They said, oh it's too much,
I would never Yes, you would, and you will and
you did and we found out.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
And we have the receipts.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yes, in my and my and I know this is
gonna go in the nerd off, but since Eve up,
we're gonna did bring it up right now, you know
we're gonna.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Discuss it here.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
That The thing is is that as somebody who was
trying to pre order the Nintendo Switch, you know, cause
a lot of people that don't really care are not
into gaming, so that no, it's not their thing. I
couldn't get that bitch nowhere. It was not on Nintendo.
It wasn't anywhere. Them bitches were fucking sold out. You

(16:21):
could not get your hands with my motherfucking pre orders.
And I was pissed because motherfuckers told me online nobody
had the five. Why is it so expensive? Why the
games eighty dollars? These niggas got, damn complained, So I
figured that, okay, it ain't nobody got the five. I
got a few coins that I saved up so I
should be able to order me a switch too. No bitch,

(16:43):
they was gone. So y'all niggas lit you found the five.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
I'm sorry. I take this personal.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Let even E catch this heat. She nice to ope you,
but you gonna get this work go ahead here. No, no, no, no,
you're nice to away woman.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
No, it's not that she eat armies. I don't care.
I'm not protecting her goal. Go off right, It's not that.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
It's just the fact that this this is emotional for
me as a nerd, and so as somebody who wanted it.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
I was pissed it.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
I couldn't get my hands on the pre order because
I was like, y'all niggas told me the bitch was
too high, Well then why can't I get my motherfucking.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Hands on one.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
So what happened was the day that the that they
came out, I actually got one through Costcos And the
only reason why I got through Costcos because they was like,
you got to buy a membership.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
I was like, well, bitch, I'm gonna do it, but
why do you.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Why do you blacks keep putting the s on things
that don't have on it.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
It's just Costco alone, it's Costcos.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
And so so I was out there and I was like, well,
they charged a fee, so I'm gonna go ahead and
pay the fee. I was up like first thing, early
in the morning, and so I got my I got
myself a switch, but I am on like three or
four hours to consistently pump out things as don't sell
at Target, A is don't sell at Walmart, A isn't

(18:06):
sell that.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Game stop, it's whoever it will zone sell.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
I was getting them bitches all but the fucking day,
and when you clicked on them links and went them bitches,
was fucking sold out. And if you see them at
the store, trust me, they were not there long.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
So I think it's really the former E the E.
I hate to be the good cop on this. I
thought I was gonna get to be the bad cop,
but I know Karen's gonna cut you out.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
The it's the former.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
They actually anticipated the demand in America and they provided
more consoles than just the amount that they had early
pre sold, and so that's why you saw them in
stock some places. But they are like restocking and immediately
out of stock.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
So it's not the it's not the price.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
And the other thing is when you said what made
the first switch, So a tractor was cheaper than the
Xbox of PlayStation, the you switch the switch to is
going to be cheaper than the Xbox in PlayStation. Yes,
it is, because all those consoles are also getting rising costs,
and so in this economy with this uncertainty in these
tariffs and up and downs or Trump, I would not
be surprised if in the long run we go Oh no,

(19:16):
the switch to was the cheaper of the next gen consoles,
because we haven't even gotten to whatever next Xbox is
or the next PlayStation. But I have a feeling that
those prices are going to be higher than even the
switch to.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, I'm talking about seven eight hundred or who knows
how high with the tariff. So uh, you are right
about it's about it being a cheaper console, which it
will be, but.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
This is the best run. But this is the best
selling console ever.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Right, so that many people aren't evert and people are
buying getting people are purchasing it, and it ain't the kids.
It's the adults that are buying it for the kids,
and adults that are buying it for themselves and using
the kids as an excuse.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
But either way, because the kids is broke.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
They don't got jobs, so adults approached it these conzoles.
But everybody told me that they didn't have the five
when the ship first came out, and they complained online
for days.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
All right, so Eve, you've been properly told okay, but
I'm glad that it happened because y'all think Karen is.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
The nice one and she's not.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Uh, let's check out for YouTube and see. Well, let's
you know, after you just said the bitches were sold out.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Bitch, bitch, bitch, azz bitch. Yes, nice one.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
We had comments on this episode over there, sir. I
didn't say I know, I just said they thank you.
It's all fake episode episode Well, don't cust me on.
I'm sorry, you're nice, You're nice episode uh.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Three one on nine fake state.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
We got comments on YouTube dark damn wink and Moji
is the flip girl.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
On the other side of the road.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
I love Guess the race, but if there's something I
love to add to it, bring more global stories. In
UK and Australia have a lot of funny crimes too,
and that's so diverse as well. I mean, I do
when I can find them, but I'm be honest, I
don't have the access to all the world's bullshit stories,
so like something has to get super crazy in those
cities and states for me to get it, for it

(21:18):
to get to my purview. Now that being said, you
guys are always free to email or tag us to something,
and I'll take a look at those stories if I can.
The problem is most of y'all don't have the best
true sense of the game, so like people will send
us stuff and it's like, man, rape seven kids, and
I'm like, I'm not doing a guest the race on that, Like.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
This is just a fucking bummer, you know what I mean,
Like it's got to at least like.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
We're already skirting the line with some of these stories,
and I'm like, it's gotta be like at least some
type of wacky something that happened in there, Like you know,
I think though, the worst I'm trying to get is
maybe like people that do shit to animals, and it's
even like a like yeah, but it's more like look
at this crazy motherfucker.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
But my point being, feel free to tag us if.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
You have some story you like us to cover, but
also remember if it's so super popular viral and everybody
know the answer, then to save me on that one.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
I don't need that.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Joe says, it's great when you talk about Bernie. He
was so annoying when he was on Andrew Schaults. I
have to wonder what is the point of Bernie I
am now also Pete Boudajet going on, Joe Rogan, Andrew
Schaultz and Theo Vaughn. They can go on those shows
and make good impression, but those hosts are still going
to ultimately support Trump.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
I just find it interesting because I think Pete Boudajay
is better at that stuff than others, but because of
the friendly, conciliatory tone that they have to take that
the way compromise works on these discussions is that you
actually have to accept the premise of the person who's
platform you on, so you have to accept it as

(22:55):
legitimate and good faith. So you can't go on there
and be like Joe Rogan. I've been seeing you say
a lot of bullshit and platform a lot of bullshit,
and you need to fucking stop right because they'll get
defensive and then it'll be an argument or it'll shut down,
or the next day they'll say you were a jerk
and they won't like you, and it will it will
have the opposite effect of what you intended. But this

(23:15):
is what I've been saying about how I feel differently
after the election last year. I think by even accepting
those terms of going on that platform and not going
there to actually like rumble with the motherfucker and to
prove that we can have a conversation.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Where we disagree.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
But by even engaging in that shit, you're really just
failing the moment. And so even with Poli Boutajet being
a great person that like anti propaganda, breaking stuff down,
just going on the show, I'm like, the next day
THEO von, Joe Rogan, Andrew Schultz will all act like
this conversation never happened. They'll they'll they'll never reference it

(23:53):
again unless it's to say we had you on the show.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Therefore, how bad of a person?

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Can I be right that that that? Wait, I'm equal
because everything is quote unquote equal.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Like the next time that I say something horribly racist
or homophobic or whatever, it's like, well, no, if I
was homophobic, people to jail would't have came on the
show and put out clips and said we were doing
a great job.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Right.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
It reminds me of this clip I saw going around today,
which was people will share Joe Joe Rogan clip.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Can y'all see that on YouTube? I mean on fucking Twitter.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
I can see it out, Okay, So they should be
able to see it, if you can see it.

Speaker 8 (24:31):
I see a lot of people online talking about this
immigrant issue, and they either don't have kids or they
don't think it could happen to their kids.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Their idea is, hey, shouldn't have fucking come over here.
People broke the law. Shouldn't have fucking come over here.
If you can, do you want to get your kids separated?

Speaker 8 (24:46):
If you were in the presence of a woman who
came over here from Guatemala and she's poor, and she's starving,
and they're taking her baby away, and she's wailing and
screaming from a prime, a primal place in her DNA
that the one thing she loves more than anything is
being taken away a baby.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
If you if that.

Speaker 8 (25:07):
Doesn't freak you the fuck out, you're not a part
of the team.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Man.

Speaker 8 (25:10):
You're missing it. You're missing it. What's what are we
here for? We're here for one hundred years of whatever.
That's what we're here for. If you want to spend
one hundred years saying you should have fucking broke the law,
I don't want you on the team. You're an asshole, right,
and I don't give you. I don't give a fuck.
If you're right or left. I don't care if you're religious,
or I don't care if you're an atheist. If that's
what you support, you're an asshole.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
And what's funny about that is when you say I
don't care if you're right or left? Whose values are
thos that you just were talking about. Those aren't left values.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
No they're not.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
That doesn't mean there's zero hundred percent of people, But
you know what I mean, the general values of one
party versus the other.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
The party you palder around.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
With, the party where you bring their their politicians on
your show, believe, the party where you show up to
their inauguration. Those are the people that do that and
you know that, but you're acting I don't care.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
What if you're bleeding purple green yellow?

Speaker 2 (26:01):
You know what that was happening. The second thing is
I don't know when this clip is from. So I
saw in the comments someone replied and said this is
from twenty eighteen. Another person said it was from or
they asked like that AI groc or whatever, and it
said it was from like like March of this year
or something. I don't So my point, that's not the point,

(26:22):
when when it is isn't necessarily germane to my point, right,
what my point is the eternal optimism and hope that
these guys will come around. Because this was shared with
the title of the Trump Lost Joe Rogan like it
was some big deal, like, oh, they lost him, And
all I'm saying is, how could you ever be sure?

(26:44):
I agreed, because we've seen him. THEO Wan was talking
about Guyza the other day and then he was right
the fuck back hanging out with Trump and and the
people in Marilina and shit like, I don't know why.
It's the eternal optimism that these white men are going
to come around, that this is a mistake. They're just

(27:05):
mislead and misled that they're in good faith, but they're
just easily confused that hey, they're not the real problem.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
We just need to send Pete Boutajet to talk to him.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
We just need a Joe Rogan other left they've chosen
in this environment that you chose that all of us
are seeing, we're experiencing the same thing. They have arrived
at a conclusion that says Donald Trump is what is
good and what is right and what we need. And
the second thing is many of these motherfuckers arrived this conclusion,
not from some deep heavy thought, but from I can't

(27:37):
say the R word anymore on my podcast without people complaining.
So I'm going all the way over to Maga, like
all the way over to Hey. Because Trump wasn't not
he wasn't saying he wasn't going to deport these people.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
He was saying he was absolutely going to do what
he's doing right now.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
So when you were endorsing him, when you were at
his inauguration, when you were signing up the part of
White House people allowed into the press.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Corps, you are on board with this Trump train shit.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
So I don't know if this is an old clip
or a new clip. It really don't matter, don't Because
what he does in that voting booth, what he does
with his platform to misinformation he spreads, and servitism he
leans towards, the skepticism and cynicism he throws towards any
progressive people.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
That is who he is. His actions are who he is.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
So this one momentary blip of some level of conscience
means fucking nothing, because it will never sprout into a seed.
It wouldn't from a scene into a tree. It will
never bear fruit. It will always just be this this
I don't know, dude, this is gond of crazy to me.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
So anyway, and.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Now it says, oh my god, this Sunday twelve fifty two,
am my favorite friends in my head? When I just
in my ear, when I just sleeping as a waste
of time, ha ha. Okay, and I'm starting to get
a little worried. Okay, it's just the sty insomni and talking.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
I gotta let y'all know I'm up.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
I don't like now I'm getting nervous.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Should I'm gonna have to start waiting until the middle
of the day to put these episodes up so you
can get some sleep. Mess the schedule of I don't
want you up at four am, like, haven't slept in
seventy five hours.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
This is the.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Greatest Please rest the show. This is what it's all
about right here, guys.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
I want you to be healthy.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
So I'm getting a little nervous about it, okay, and
as I'm gonna need you to just like let us
know that that you do get some sleep sometimes yet
some rest, because if not, I'm I think I might
take the show on a couple of weeks break just so.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
You can get like so you can rest.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
I'm not even tired. I just think you should be
and that's okay. But yeah, so that was the last
comment on the fake steak. Let's check the poll. The
poe was, did you get a Nintendo switched to?

Speaker 3 (29:56):
I did, yeah, and I'm enjoying the shit out of it. Yep.
And then the actual pole results.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
I this, but the pole results are seven point five
percent yes, thirteen percent not yet but soon, and eighty
percent no.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
And I have no plans to get one. That makes sense.
I feel like any console.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Those numbers will be that there's only a certain amount
of us that are gamers. But agree, thank you everybody
for participating. Let's play a beat so we can get
this sweet sweet moulah.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
We need this money, y'all. Let's go Okay, we love
to see it. Oh wait, this is not gonna play
the right thing.

Speaker 6 (30:37):
This story consists of my recollections.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
We're gonna unusual, young man? What sweet? All right?

Speaker 2 (31:18):
The next episode is three thousand and ten, a discussion
of black capitalists with Rachel Loreo.

Speaker 3 (31:27):
We had five.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Comments Appia said oron Raphael says, another award winning episode.
Another reason why I love the Black autists for letting
me know that I was a black capitalist. One time,
I was visiting Baltimore for the afroz and Audio Podcast Festival,
and I introduced myself as.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
A black capitalist.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
A sister who was an activist gave me the reaction
that you give a coon. Well, he announces that Trump
is the best president for blacks. After ten minutes of
talking to me with her credit at card intact. By
the way, she said that she wouldn't describe herself that
way as a black person, but she gets it.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
A discussion was had that day.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Instead of an argument, all thanks to the blackout tips
back to.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Writing Russia Love. At Russian Love, and I pre ordered
doctor Lorea's book.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
I'm pretty sure that I have seen her at her
plantain snacks before.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Ill says, I'm glad.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
I'm more and more convinced that there's a sad Russian
lady somewhere in Saint Petersburg or so who just had
wanted to find love and didn't understand why the black
man and her dreams goes to her. Why was my
poetry so bad? She is wondering every day. This is
like I imagine her poetry to be. I'm sitting here crying
my Russian motherland. Where are you, my prince? I try
to understand he thinks I am some kind of schemmy catfish,

(32:39):
catfish who that true love with him is my only wish.
There you go, And yeah, Rona Raphael, I mean, I
get it. I think Rachel used a little bit of
a slighter hand. But it's something that we've been doing
on the podcast since I started that segment about black capitalism,
which is, I don't think black capitalism is the same

(33:02):
as white capitalism. It's not, and I don't And I
think if society function in the way that people who
are black and make a lot of money use their money,
our society would be a lot fucking better off.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Yes, because yes.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
You do have your extreme you know, your examples of
black people who just fuck everyone over, have the means
to production and just make it, make their money off
the backs of exploiting people. And I'm not and obviously
that's wrong, you know, And it can vary back and forth.
There's people that make great business ventures and then the
next one is like exploitative. So I'm not defending that.

(33:39):
What I'm saying is like, there's a lot of black
people that have money, but the way they distribute money,
the way they empower people underneath them to make their
own money, the way that they fairly pay people, the
way that they operate their you know, employment structures and
all of that stuff. It's so fucking different, and it's
just because of our experiences as black people. I think

(34:02):
it's literally because so many black people have not had
access to wealth for so long that almost any Black
person who gets wealthy is like within that generation wealthy.
We're just now getting second generation wealthy black people like it, like,
but for the most part is first generation and within
your lifetime, and you are the one that did it, yes,

(34:25):
And so a lot of times it makes for a
healthier environment and a more constructive environment, and also cautious
about it because I think the critiques of it should
not just be put under this blanket of capitalism, because
I honestly think a lot of white people that are
racially insensitive or racially ignorant use that to co opt

(34:50):
Black people into shit that I don't think is best
for us. Like I don't think it's I don't think
it's best that there are there's like two rich black
people and then it's like we need to shut down richness.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
Nobody should be rich. It's like, I don't know about that.
That feels a little weird.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
I think we should go about how people use money.
So like when people say, and these fucking billionaires are
trying to store our country, there's a difference between how
Beyonce uses her money and how Elon Musk uses his money.
And also billionaire even in this case, is not really
covering the wide depth of money between these individuals and

(35:30):
how they're using it. One's using it that literally take
over the government. So anyway, I just think those things
are interesting and I'm glad.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
She was on here to discuss it.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
Agreed.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Resi Djinga says five stars even he says, I think
people's biggest issue with Target isn't that they roll back
THEI initiatives because a bunch of companies did. It's that
they had gone a step farther and really got put
in the efforts to give small black and brown business
as a chance. Our communities trusted them, and for them
to fall in love with the orange turt felt like
a betrayal and a lot of people were hurt, which
is why there's no easy fix. They red store these

(36:00):
programs again, it will still take time for black people
to return.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
I agree, but you're basically saying the same thing because
them getting rid of the DEI was them helping these
small businesses which made people angry.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
I think no, I think she's saying I think I
agree with Eve here. I think what she say is
absolutely right. The only thing I will add is that
I think those other companies did do the things you're
talking about. Like I remember lal Mark taking several black
small business brands and putting them on their store shelves
and it was like big news. I remember that ice cream,
that black ice cream we tried during the pandemic, but

(36:37):
Target was.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
So much more successful. At the pr of it.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
They weren't just putting people's shit in their stock on
the shelves. They were putting their faces on the flyers.
They were paying these people to be influencers online. They
were collaborating with brands in a very forward facing way.
When I've read read the Black Capitalism things a lot
of times, it's other.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Brands are also doing stuff.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Diamonds, clothing, watches. Walmart is constantly doing stuff. Megan thee
Stallion has a Walmart thing right now for swimsuits for
like Hot Girl Summer. So like these other brands did
do exactly that too, where they were like, let's get
out here, they just were not as good at marketing it.
Target was so good at marketing it that it became

(37:24):
synonymous with like, yo, if you want to support small
black businesses but also be able to go buy like
toilet tissue and staples that you know, maybe that black
business does not have. So like you can't go to
Tabitha Brown's store if she had a pop up store
and be like but also while I'm here, I'm gonna
get me some Charman. But you can do that at
Target and you can still be supporting her. And I

(37:46):
think that was a big, you know, positive for a
lot of people not to mention LGBTQ stuff, other minorities
and their influences and.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
Then bam, just like that, we never met any of it.
We're scared of Trump. You don't feel like doing this shit.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Yeah, they took a harder hit than others because you're right,
and I agree with you. They people felt the way
you're saying, betrayed.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yes, okay, okay, okay, Now that explanation makes sense, and
I was like, ain't it the same? But no, it's
not the same. And with walk with with target, the
cut is deeper. If that so I get what I
understand that the cut is a deeper cut. And for
some people the betrayal is deep, and it's so deep
for a lot of them, it doesn't matter what they do,
it doesn't matter if they reinstate it because for some

(38:32):
of them, they go, we can never trust you again.

Speaker 4 (38:34):
All it's gonna take is for some other.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
Administration or you to feel the heat for something that
you're gonna yanke it again. And so the thing is,
I think that a percentage of these people will never
come back. A lot of them have found out how
to give their money to these companies directly, and that
is what they're gonna continue to do. And or if
these companies go to other places, that's what they're gonna

(38:57):
kind of travel to. And so I do not think
they would ever fully recover from this loss because it's
a deep cut. Like you said, the marketing people trusted
you the brands, and the thing.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
Is you talking kind of went the extra mound.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Like you say, their diversity was very diverse, So you're
talking about black you talking about like you said, like
tinos LGBTQ women, and like you said, you would go
on the Walmart and walk down the aisle, like you said,
you see a big ass thing, a Tabltha Brown's face
or a bigg ass thing of the people who made,
you know, the black sunscreen or the black lotion or
whatever it is belvo or whatever it is. Like they

(39:34):
wanted to be sure, and particularly with hair and some
of the other things. They actually went out there waiting
in some of the stores. When you walk down the aisle,
it was literally a whole fucking black ass owl, whole
fucking brown ass owl. This our right here is what
you're looking for, quote unquote people of diversity who we
pumped and promoted to you. So they would tell you
we have these things. If you go into the store

(39:54):
and you would see these things. So you was like, oh,
y'all are actually fully invested, like you say, more than
the other people.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
They did it, but it.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Was more of individual lines versus no, we got like
a whole machine behind it, were doing all these things.
And so that betrayal is a deeper cut, and it's
a deeper portrayal.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Let's see YouTube we got some comments emojis from a
nass Andrea Brown says, does did black capitalism lead Black
Americans into neoliberalism? Inquiring minds need to know who benefits
from neoliberalism in Black America. This feels like a loaded

(40:33):
question and not one that came from listening to the
episode Dark Namda to emojis, Andrea writes in again, it's
great that jay Z gives back to the community after
having preyed on that same black community for decades.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
But I got a problem with the handouts. I took
the man route.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
It's not the right message he should have been preaching
in front of these white folks, especially since even the
Democratic Party was diverting funds from black lower class under
the GUIDs of its contemporary.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Off a reform if.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
You say so, and there it says, thanks again for
another great podcast. We are in the money with this one.
Three point thirty one am ans get some sleep begging
My mom says, great show. Jay Pal says, what the fuck?
I haven't seen this show around since iTunes like fifteen

(41:23):
years ago.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
I had no.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Idea you were on YouTube. Well there you know, now
you know. Damien says, it's kind of funny you said that, Rod,
because people sure put a lot of decision making in
the hands of billionaires. If you're actually that mad at billionaires,
please don't put them in charge of everything. Great guess,
great conversation and topic. You guys always knock it out
the box. Thank you, he said.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
Shout out to the black capitalists doing it the right way.
I E. Tyler Perry, Mike EPs T I.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Work done, fly out J Johnson, putting black folks to
put to work, putting them at homes, and just generally
giving a fuck.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
I love us.

Speaker 5 (41:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
I think the other thing is like people have convinced
themselves that participated in this system and being more successful
than someone else said it makes you a bad person,
and right, I think I just find that whole thing
to be very arbitrary. It seems like when it seems
like when people like people, it's okay, like I e. Rihanna,

(42:17):
and when they don't like him, then it's bad I
E jay z or whatever. But and at the same time,
like I said earlier, I think a lot of people
go back and forth. They do things where I'm like,
that's a very fucked up move, And I think that's
ex what it is a hyper capitalist.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
I think jay Z is a hyper capitalist for sure.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
Some of the stuff he promotes, it's to me, it's
like only a person that thinks it's okay to exploit
people or whatever or just as like, hey, as long
as I hit a lick would be do this kind
of thing. And that's not my kind of person. But
then there's other times he does shit that are on
not just charitable, but things I would consider pro black,

(42:59):
things that I consider black people are better off that
he did that thing, agreed, whether it's through its company
Rock Nation or whatever, Like I've seen it with my
own eyes. And so it's complicated for me with a
guy like him, right, I'm not I hear people when
they're like, man, this motherfucker is wrapping about art and
wealth and money and you know I didn't take a
hand out and took the man route or whatever. And

(43:20):
I mean, when a nigga has fifty seven albums, I
can find a line for everything that will make you
seem disgusted.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
I don't care who it is.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
It could be common sense, it could be I know
rap too well to take a verse out of context
and be like, this is this person's whole the problem, right,
But he's done enough to piss enough people off that,
you know, I think they have viable and completely legitimate
reasons to not fuck with him on some money shit.

(43:48):
And it's farn to me, like I don't have any
specific loyalty to any one of these people. I just
find it to be this sort of like would people
present it as if all of it is the same.
I I just had to pull up the nuanced button
to say, actually, I'm not gonna just act like it's all.

Speaker 4 (44:06):
The same, right, because it is.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
You can still dislike it, but it's not the same.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
Agreed.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Christal says, I live right across the street from Target,
and the boycott is real. The parking lot on Saturdays
is much less compared to pre boycott.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Jason says, YO love this interview.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
I like how doctor Rachel said in regard to the
Trump administration that the band aid has been ripped off.
That's been the most positive way I've heard the situation described.
It's like we're getting a sudden burst of pay and
now we can try to figure a way out of this.
The poe was do you drive by Target to judge
people going in sixteen percent? Yes, eighty four percent. No,
all right, well I'll just have to double my efforts

(44:43):
and do it for both.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
All of us guys.

Speaker 4 (44:46):
Whenever I passed.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
One thirty one eleven American Needs and Ethan Hunt, we
had Brandon Collins on Let's See. Tanya W two says,
so great to hear Brandon back on the show. Did
you know Vin Diesel was once in a spot I rapper.
His real name was Mark Sinclair and he wanted to
go by the name Sinclair. My friend Gary wrote about
it in this article. It's a way too long for

(45:08):
the show, but if you want to read it later,
The part about Vin slash Mark is the section title
looking for a Rapper. Uh And The Last star Fighter
is such a great movie.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
Thank you. Nature Boy says that was a while read.
Thank you for sharing. Tanya.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Seems like Vin has been struggling to find his identity,
but seems to make everyone else paid the price for
his ego ego, maniacle, egomaniacal act ethics. Also, Last star
Fighter is a great movie. Sorry I duplicated this comment.
Appia says that's interesting, but also, I mean, who wasn't
I never tried rapping, but I still think being a

(45:42):
successful rapper sounds pretty sweet.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
Uh, she probably didn't read the her article.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
But as far as Nature Boy, I mean, as far
as everything y'all said, the biggest thing y'all said was
that I found two more people that loved Last star Fighter,
and that's great. Reggi Djingis has five stars. Love when
Brandon stops bot chops it up. Nature Boy says that
was a oh wait, he doclad the comment. That's what
he was talking about. I'll delete it for you, buddy.
Even he says, always great time when Brandon is on
the show. Yeah, it is always great love when he

(46:09):
stops by, Like I said, anytime he had something to promote,
don't be a stranger. And honestly, you know, now that
he's promoting more and more stuff, it's it's kind of
cool because he's on the show more often. Let's see
comments on YouTube and nad says, good morning, one fifty nine.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Am dark Damn.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
Joelmojis, the Girl on the Other Side of the Road
said I love these long episodes because it's an hour
fifty revolutionary poetry says any guest the race dealing with
Popey's I'm always guessing black. I never seen a white
Popey's employee. But don't disrespect Andy Kline.

Speaker 4 (46:46):
Yeah, Andy Kline was more.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Andy Kline, comedian and host of Three Guys on podcast,
did not do all that work in the trenches, did
not earn the nickname butter to not to not be
giving his dude his credit. The side of racism always
helps get it right, says Damien Cheyenne says, I'm such

(47:07):
a fan of Brandon as a guest. I had no
idea Sweet Chick was from NAS. Also like hearing the
behind the scenes of movies and TV. I remember when
y'all ride a carol part of a film club or
official critics as well.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
Are y'all still doing that? Thanks for the show. Yes, yes,
we all shy in.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
We are still part of the North Carolina Film Critics
Association for a long time official members. Of course, our
movie review podcast is The Black Guy Who Tips Spoiled
Movie Reviews. Yes, it's a long title, but if you
put the blackout Tips in, it should be the second
podcast it comes up, and we review movies over there

(47:44):
all the time, and we put it's our premium show,
so the newest reviews go behind the paywiut for at
least a month, sometimes longer, and then we put them
on the feed free for everybody. With some ads, we
put that out there a month later or so, and
so I do update that feed, not all the time,

(48:07):
you know, like I said it really because it's no
it's free, but I do update that feed. So if
you guys want to hear our movie opinions, yes, what now?

Speaker 1 (48:19):
IM about to say yes if you want to you're
talking about a movie. Yes, if you want to hear
movie opinions, And we've been doing it for a while.

Speaker 4 (48:24):
So for those of you and movies.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
Come out and you kind of want to hear our opinions,
you want to hear immediately, it's behind the paywal but
eventually you will get it on the free feed.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
For instance, the latest review we have is spoil Move
review five thirty eight Karate Kid Legends, which is from
behind the pay which is on the free feed, So
you guys can go listen to that right now for
free wherever you're hearing this podcast, no problem.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
But if you're a premium listener, we actually have more
reviews after that.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
We have a review for Leelo and Stitch Megan Dan
to dan Evia I and from the world of John
Wick Ballerina, and more than likely this weekend we'll get
you one for How to Train Your Dragons. So, like,
we're constantly doing these movie reviews, and our reviews are
spoiled movie reviews, so that for people who've seen the movie,
don't ever plan on seeing the movie, or just don't

(49:15):
care about it spoiling it because we do spoil the
movies when we talk about it.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
So I feel like it's a great.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
It's great for people who saw the movie and just
want a real discussion without having to hear.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
People be like, I don't want to spoil anything.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
And of course it's also great for those of y'all
who just like I don't give a fuck about spoilers.
Every thouars that when you're like, I don't even think
I'm gonna see this movie, So let me just see
what Rod and Karen thought, right, And we do a
simple review.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
We talk about what we like, then we talk about what.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
We didn't like, and then we score it and we
do talk trailers and we talk feedback from listeners. It's
a fun time. I really enjoy doing them me too.
And yeah, so we are still doing that.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
Let's see.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
Absolutely love when you have Brandon Collins on. He's so funny.
I'm happy to hear about all the success he's having.
Also Roder, have you heard of the cat distribution system?
Don't fight it for Heed the sweet.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
K D says Alicia.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
That cat was standing at here the other day.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
I will not, Jason says, I always love when Brandon
didn't like the great White hype Colin stop By. I'm
trying to let it go, Brandon, but keep being great brother.
I root for every Superman movie. Superman two is still
my favorite comic book movie, but as a movie character,
I just don't think he works for people. In twenty
twenty five. The world is way too cynical for the
character Superman. Homelander is the Superman people expect today. I've

(50:31):
actually enjoyed the Cavil Superman stuff, but I also think
because of Christopher Reeve's accident, a lot of energy got
sucked out of character. I fear that could happen with
Black Panther two. Spider Man could keep rolling because Toby
was simply replaced that door dash tip Ward. Well, I
gotta say before we get into the rest of this,
I disagree with a lot of it. And I think

(50:51):
the reason I would say that, as I brought up
on the show, I would have felt similarly about Captain America,
and then Chris Evans did Captain America and I went, no,
I was wrong.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
America can definitely one get behind.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
This that is not Captain America.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
Right, because he makes it fun and it's And the
thing that I think a lot of y'all don't take
into an account is that these writers and directors live
in this world too, and so each representation, each piece
of media based on these characters is being placed in
the context of the times we're living in. So I

(51:30):
don't think there's as simple. Is as simple as he's
just gonna take rip Superman from a nineteen twenties comic.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
And we're just gonna get that story. I think you
will see a lot.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Of things today, and honestly, the world needs a Superman
the same way that this title this episode was America
needs an Ethan Hunt, which I thought was like a
really fun segment on the show. But like, I mean
that shit, Like tell me that's the thing that's gonna
get us out? Is not this given in the cynicism
shit is, Oh, the world is too cynical. But it's not, though,

(52:05):
And you know how you know it's not is because
they want to believe in certain things, right. It's the
reason they watch fucking the super Bowl, you know. It's
the reason that they uh, you know, keep hoping the
next politician will be somebody that can support It's the
reason they are going to rallies for Bernie Sanders and alc.

(52:25):
They want to believe in something, and so movies and
stuff give you a real easy way to do it
because everything's fictional. So I can see, like the world
getting behind the idea of a Superman in a time
like now, right now, when it's so dark and no hope,
people need something, some ideals to look on the screen
and see those ideals win for a change.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
So I think it could work.

Speaker 4 (52:50):
I do too.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
And also my thing is Superman has been around a
long time, like probably longer than most of ups have
been born. And Superman has been told up teen hundred times,
and each time it comes around, you have a new
generation that's introduced to a different version of Superman, you know,
because there's some people Christopher Reeves is not their Superman,
and so you have this generation, this person is gonna

(53:13):
be their version of Superman, and I feel like that's okay,
and I feel like they have the right to see
it and envision it in whatever way James Gunn is
gonna do it. I think that James Gunn is gonna
do I personally think he's gonna do justice to it
because his work shows that he cares about the foundation
on how a lot of these things are made. And so, yes,

(53:34):
you're gonna get that cat saved from the tree, the
basic shit, You're gonna get the goofy shit, but it's
comic book shit like like that.

Speaker 4 (53:40):
That's just part of comic books.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
And so I understand what you're saying, but you're also
disregarding the people that are like I'm very excited, I
want to be here, and I.

Speaker 3 (53:51):
Enjoy these things. Let's see what them sales numbers look like.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
Agreed, Let's see what them reviews look like like. Let's
circle back to this comment, Jason, and you can write
back in after the movies out and we can see
where you're staying. Because I think we often forget that
corny is one of the most powerful things on the planet,
and it works when it works, and when it is
done well, you just stop giving a fuck that it's corny,

(54:16):
and that's really the power Superman.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
It's that because that character's always been like that.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
But it's the same thing with Captain America all this shit,
Like there's a certain level of like, nah, I want
to live in a world where there are people fighting
as hard for the good shit to win that aren't
just rolling their eyes and going.

Speaker 4 (54:36):
Oh my god, right and not doing shit.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
The door Dash Tip Warrior clearly rolled up on the
wrong one. He didn't just take the gun from him,
He released and ejected the bullet out of the chamber
in point five seconds. That dude clearly ain't new to this. No,
it's like he rolled up on John Wick or something.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
Yes he did, and he took the bullet out just
to show, hey, I'm not going to shoot you.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
Basically, are you boycotting any studios right now? This is
important because, like I said said, I think this is
a big invention of being online too much. I saw
a term today called TikTok pilled, and I was like, yes,
as the word I've been looking for. I just had

(55:16):
not seen anyone say that before. That is the feeling
I get from certain folks, And I hate to say
it because I know they they take it as like
a negative point of view or whatever, And I don't
mean to be dismissive. I just think that's an accurate
depiction of what's happening. Like we know what red pilled is,

(55:36):
and that's when, oh, you fall into this conservative right
wing stuff and you start believing this shit and you
don't need a lot of proof, and it's so information
slowed to getting your sources by and biases always collaborating
together in a constant loop from everything on your feed.

Speaker 3 (55:51):
Yes, I think TikTok does this very similar thing.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
I think that's why TikTok is actually more dangerous than
the other platforms, because their algorithm is so naked lead
good at it. It's just it's not that the other
platforms would not like to do what TikTok is doing
to you, but their need for money and their greed
and ineptitude of the people running them supersedes the fucking
platform in a way that makes you log out sometimes, yes,

(56:16):
whereas TikTok is like, no, stay as long as you
want to.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
Stay, as long as you That even fooled you with
the commercials, because that's the thing that other people that's
so heavy with the commercialies like.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
The fuck I'm tired of my shit getting into.

Speaker 3 (56:27):
TikTok commercials look like TikTok.

Speaker 4 (56:30):
Yes it does.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
It's the best platform for this. It's why people wrote
into us when I was even fucking mentioned that it
was as bad as the other ones. It was hell no,
And I said, this is the reason I think is
as bad, if not worse, because if I shit on Instagram,
zero responses, motherfuckers that never comment on the show any
other time. But but TikTok, right, this one is there's

(56:53):
a reason Republicans and Democrats are trying to get it
out of here.

Speaker 3 (56:57):
There's a reason Donald Trump was the one who.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
Said get rid of it and then said, actually, you know,
it can stick around. And people who are liberal, people
that claim to be pro Palaestine all this shit, were like,
oh thank god, oh oh man, you know what, Donald
Trump might not be as bad as we thought. That
is a bad sign, because that's basically saying this thing

(57:19):
is so addictive as a drug that you're like, whoever
provides it is a good guy to me. Whoever has
no no, you know, no cynicism there all of a
sudden for a lot of people, not everyone, but for
a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
Right anyway, point being.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
That TikTok pill thing was so real because I'm like,
is this boycott thing real?

Speaker 3 (57:41):
Is it happening now? Our audience is a pretty liberal,
progressive audience.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
You know, there are people who are listening to us
and more progressive than us.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
That thing.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
You know that one woman emailed us fifty seven times
in the damn election, like, you know, fuck the Democrats
and something for Bernie or whatever. I forget exact thing,
but you know, like not everyone listening just agrees with
everything we say.

Speaker 3 (58:04):
And it's like, you guys are the most progressive voices
of my head. We're not. And I know I'm not.
I'm not trying to be. I'm trying to be as
authentic as possible. Right anyway, My point being.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
One of people said, no, they are not boycotting any
of the movie studios right now.

Speaker 4 (58:18):
I'm not either.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
Oh the signing about you, This ain't about you zero percent. Yes,
this is from like I said, I had a person
on social media tell me, no, one's bringing up these
boycotts as the reason some of these movies are bombing,
and I'm like, because it's not the reason. The reason

(58:42):
actually doesn't make sense. If you stop for a second
and think about it. Why would I a person that
thinks you need to divest from all your ties to
Israel go but you can have my money sometimes if
it's a family film, where that's different. So if they
make a family film, then they can bomb families.

Speaker 3 (59:05):
That doesn't make sense. That logic doesn't hold up.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
People really do not give a fuck about this, and
I hate to be that way, but.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
Look at it.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Look around us. Do it seem like people really give
a fuck. When it was time for the election, they
made it feel like they gave a fuck to keep
you from voting. Yes, But now that it's over, they
don't seem to give a fuck, not nearly as much
as they did before.

Speaker 3 (59:27):
Like Israel is bombing Iran and vice versa. Now this is.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
Shits escalated in the worst of ways, and suddenly a
president isn't responsible for it.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
Right.

Speaker 2 (59:37):
Mark Rubio out here saying, dude, U has had nothing
to do with the Trump said, yes, we did.

Speaker 3 (59:42):
It's all us Iran.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
I told you bitch as niggas, blah blah, blah Iran
sub tweeting the world like, remember when it started, we
didn't do it first.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
You know, everybody gonna feel it. I'm not joking.

Speaker 2 (59:55):
These are what they tweeted that this shit is so
escalated and it don't feel like people are treating it
as seriously and as dangerous as they were under Biden.
Under Biden, who was going, hey we want to seize fire.
Hey we need a peace treaty. Hey we need to
get everybody to come to the table. We got to
stop all this escalation. It was like, nope, y'all didn't

(01:00:16):
say no to all the weapons. Y'all, motherfucking are the same.
And then Trump gets in there and goes kill them all,
and all of a sudden, it's crickets. It's president can't
control that, Okay, all right, anyway, no one's boycotting the
studios from our audience, And it's not like we get
encouraging people to not boycott or to boycott.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
We don't judge either way. It's just funny.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
Zero percent of our audience is boycotting, and it's supposed
to be the reason these moves. I don't think it's
the reason. I think the other things we described are
the reasons, and people are kind of faux cotton, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Anyway, let's play one more commercial break and come right back.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
Everybody, find another one of these beats. Cook it's called Hope.

(01:01:36):
My brother made that. Bro bro uh bro bro cook it,
cook it up. I think it's the.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
Spotify if you guys want to check out you know,
some of my brother's music. Episode three one one two.
The Plantation Plan is the title of this one, because isn't.

Speaker 3 (01:01:57):
That what it is? Really? Guys? Isn't it really a
plantation playing? At this point? Where is ice Cube? Guys?
Where is that?

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
You know what ICEQB is? Ice q mad? Did TSA took.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
His laptop and that's true, and now he's complained about
where's my laptop?

Speaker 3 (01:02:10):
Right right? Mm hm hmmm.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
I thought we was gonna get some progress, and now
I'm looking at ice Cube and the only thing I
could ask.

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Is are we there yet? Are we? Are we there yet?
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
Let's go to these comments four comments. Oppia says, I
find D and E to be I guess Donald and
Elon to be terrible and destructive. And I found the
fight entertaining because what else can I do? I'm not
even America, so I'm not voting for American president, but
I still have to hear every day about what terrible

(01:02:45):
thing he has done. And I don't consume much news.
Whatever I opened, there is a chance to see his face.
The sweet escape are now only company business tools. Give
me that customer relationship system any day. I would like
to sue for emotional distress, please for me. It was
also interesting as women are sometimes still told to be
too emotional the whole political responsibility. Well, this was a

(01:03:07):
pure show of emotions. Anger is one of the strongest
emotions in ego. But her emails, But her emails, But
her emails.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
I will never forget never, okay.

Speaker 5 (01:03:18):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Sean says, in a reasonable world, people would tell about
Donnie to settle and take a break, maybe read some
books so he can learn what it means to be
a feminist, as opposed to claim one is a feminist.

Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
But this is not a reasonable world. Yeah that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know, man, because it's such a
weird place that we're in where people will say at
the same time like these men are being fake feminists.
I don't believe any of them. And the second something
like this happens, they go, see, those are the real threats.
Those are the men who are the real bad people,
the ones that say they're feminists, but there really never are.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
There's no such thing that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
Those are the ones that are the real criminals, as
opposed to the you know, the criminal criminals who are.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
Also like, uh, fuck these hoes and bitches. But at
least they say it, don't you know.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
And I'm like, I don't go that far because I
think there are many upstanding dudes that, you know, maybe
they don't trumpet and promote themselves in the way this
guy does, but that if anything, I'll say they're being fair.
They might not be even quote unquote feminis. They may
not have read the reading, but they're trying to be
fair and that's fine, you know whatever. That should be

(01:04:22):
the default of humans. Yeah, Like, I'm not patting them
on the back for that. But what I'm saying is,
guys like this do so much damage, and yet how
many people automatically had his back, you know, like the
crimes of in this case, what's her name?

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
Fuck? And now I'm losing fuck I forget her name,
Ryan Reynold's wife. God damn, I.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
Don't know why, like, because that's my point being, it
was never about her. For me, It's not that deep.

Speaker 3 (01:04:58):
For me, it was like a person going on the attack.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
Before someone can think, before they can even say, just
because you know they are that they do have some
shit that they need to say to the world about
you that will fuck up your reputation when the world
finds out how you get down and you go on
to preemptive attack and discredit her, and then you get
caught doing it. I'm sorry, I don't know how to

(01:05:25):
fuck anyone should be on your side. But there were
people on his side, people that I quote unquote know
were in my comments on Facebook arguing me down, and
I'm like, dog, I'm not gonna keep arguing with you.
But I just think this is the reason it works
is because you will never stop and say, maybe I'm

(01:05:46):
having a sexist reaction to assume this evil white bitch
must be an evil white bitch, and this this white man,
of course, is a great person who's never done anything
wrong to anybody, and I gotta have.

Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
His back because this evil bitch he needed to go.

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
Look, you ain't never preemptively try to discredit somebody. Actually,
no I haven't, and I don't find it reasonable. It's
the Johnny depp ember Herd thing where they have an
audio tape of him breaking shit in the fucking thing
and everybody's like, well, look man, she was recording so
clearly she.

Speaker 3 (01:06:15):
Knew something was up. Let me tell y'all something.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
If Karen secretly recorded me every single second of my
life every day and I never knew about it, you
will never find a minute, two minute, five minute clip
of me breaking shit in my house and yelling at
her and be like, she.

Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
Set me up. I don't know what happened.

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
Ronderk is one of the most gentlelest person I've ever
met in my life.

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
You just won't find it because I don't do it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
So like, even if you were to be like, like,
unless you gonna tell me it was AI, like that
never happened.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
Bitch created a fucking set me up.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
Yeah, she went into a fucking studio, a grade A studio,
got a.

Speaker 3 (01:06:52):
Voice actor, Hey, got the props.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
That's why it's not even me. You hear me when
I don't talk like that. When it was like Captain
Jack Sparrow, why would I say that she clintand stole
that from the movie.

Speaker 3 (01:07:04):
But that's not what happened.

Speaker 2 (01:07:06):
But people still to this day walk around going bad
relationship fifty to fifty probably just as much her fault.
So I don't think there's a world where you have
a true, like an objective level of like, well, this
guy seems to be wrong and this woman's sins which

(01:07:26):
are always some like like I said, it's sins of
you know, ellen on like eye contact, you know, Taylor
Swift once wrote, and it turns out there was fake
But it don't matter, Taylor. We found a note what
Taylor Swift wrote down the rules of football so she
could follow the game with a fake bitch, you know,
like it's these are unforgivable sins we never let go
for these women, and that we want to believe, and

(01:07:47):
we gleefully paler on while thinking that none of us
are contributing to it. We're all right, no, I'm just
making I'm just doing my jokes. This has nothing to
do with it. Okay, Well, if everyone makes the same joke,
it's the same shit, right. I'm one hundred percent sure
that during the heyday of black face in America, everyone
was talking like this, where it was just like what

(01:08:09):
what do you mean it's racist what I'm putting playing
on my face and we're just making jokes. Okay, it's
just funny. We all think it's funny that people are
black and that they act stupid because black people act stupid.
But why would you say I'm a racist? That's what
we do with women all the time, where it's just like,
why would you say I'm misogynists? I just happen to

(01:08:30):
think every woman is a bit who falsely accuses men
of shit for no reason. What it's very easy for
me to believe that, and the woman should have to
prove she's not. And of course the men, no matter
what they're caught in, are always right until they're convicted
in court. Then all of a sudden we could come
around when Bill Cosey gets convicted, Suddenly it's like everyone

(01:08:52):
dropped the bullshit. But we went through two years of bullshit.
I remember it because we read the comments on this.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
Show and would have even familymits argue and argue.

Speaker 4 (01:09:01):
You were like this, don't.

Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
Harvey Harvey Weinstein.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
I still remember people making the argument, well, what if
one of the thirty women are lying? Not every woman
could be telling the truth. Why the fuck would that
be pertinent to now?

Speaker 5 (01:09:13):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
Think about what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
Well, what if one of the women that accused Daniel Holslaw,
the cop that was raping black women. What if one
of the women did in Bella she actually did just
run the stop like he let her go, and she
lied to said he grabbed the titties. Well, if that
one woman was lying, we should concentrate a lot of
the conversation on that. That should be the most important thing. No,
we don't have any proof anyone was lying, and we

(01:09:37):
just want to do it. But you know what is
proof to me? Thirty people coming forward accusing you of something.
It's pretty goddamn that's a hell.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
Of a coincidence.

Speaker 2 (01:09:45):
So anyway, my point being, we are a very sexy
society and we don't accept it for ourselves. So that's
why we end up in these positions where people are
sided with Baldoni immediately.

Speaker 1 (01:09:57):
Yeah, and to And I don't know why I thought
about this, you telling me And the thing about Ellen,
The thing.

Speaker 4 (01:10:02):
Is Ellen wasn't even the accuser.

Speaker 1 (01:10:05):
It was other people that were accused, and it started
a whole as shit show and she ended up canceling
the show.

Speaker 4 (01:10:13):
And people got mad.

Speaker 1 (01:10:15):
People like who were employees if we're talking shit, got
mad and now they don't have jobs.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
Well, I think a lot of those people and this
is a mistake people make all the time.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
They do it with black people a lot too.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
You think because a black person or a person a
marginalized person has reached a certain level of success that
they are institutional in the way that we see a
lot of white people as institutional. And you keep finding
out over and over nobody's institutional.

Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
Nobody. Now, if you're a white man.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
You got a higher chance than most others, but everybody
else do not. So like you could be easily one scandal,
one quote, one interview from just being completely out of
the zeit guys and us being like, remember you know,
and so like Ellen's not it felt institutional. At the time,

(01:11:04):
I couldn't imagine a world where we didn't have Ellen
on talk show TV. And then enough people said, uh,
sums up with her, she's a bitch. Uh, there's stuff
mismanagement going on in that in that TV show, which
once again, once I worked on the TV show, was
really easy for me to understand how that can happen
and Ellen not.

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Be the fucking any the wiser.

Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
But most people will never know that because most people
ain't never gonna work on a TV show. You know,
shit could have been happening under Bomani's nose all the time.
There's literally no reason he would know.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
People do not.

Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
Your name's on the marquee, But people don't walk in
your office and go, hey, we got an HR problem.
We'd like you to talk about it. You know, when
what was her name? God, damn wa am I draw
a blank?

Speaker 3 (01:11:46):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
Small do says she's uh.

Speaker 3 (01:11:51):
It's not a Manda Vines. Is Amanda diva? Amanda sill?

Speaker 4 (01:11:57):
Wrong Aman Amanda Vines. That's a white woman.

Speaker 3 (01:12:00):
It's all good, it's all good. Thank you for trying
to help me.

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
But when Amanda was talking about the set of Insecure
and then shipping on easta.

Speaker 3 (01:12:07):
Raight, I saw it. Immediately.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
I was like, Oh, people that don't know how TV
show work are gonna be like, yeah, that bitch right,
And people that worked in the industry immediately like, no,
Amanda's out of pocket.

Speaker 3 (01:12:21):
That's not how that works.

Speaker 2 (01:12:23):
Whether your name's on the show, you could be the showrunner,
you could be the producer, you could be the star
of the show.

Speaker 3 (01:12:28):
That is not how any of it works. There are people.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
Whose jobs are there for complaints and if you go
above their head to the cause your friends with the
star and go, Yeah, they took me to HR and
said I shouldn't have called this man the N word,
and he wrote a complain about me. I expect you
to have my back and to basically either get rid
of this man or make him say he's.

Speaker 3 (01:12:49):
Wrong and apologize.

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
How that works, we would have said that person needs
to get the fuck out of here. They're the one
that needs to be off the set. And instead people
are like, yeah, why can't you just go to your
friend and told them to do something because you want
them to do it. Whether you're right or wrong, it
should make you right because you're you're the one that
went to them.

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
That's that's how people see life.

Speaker 2 (01:13:09):
And it was so easy at that time for people
to completely shit on east Ray. I remember seeing people
completely try to take her down. It happens so often.
No one questions it because none of.

Speaker 1 (01:13:20):
Us are sexist, right, none of us are sexist, He says.

Speaker 2 (01:13:24):
The Republicans threw shit at ate Hillary Clinton for decades
and then when she was running for President.

Speaker 3 (01:13:27):
They were like, where the smoke? That's fire?

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
Yep, that fire is from the flaming shit show, the
Republican Party that have been nothing but bigger tree and
nepotism for half a century.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
Forgive, give or take.

Speaker 2 (01:13:36):
I'm a man and I've known to iron my mates close.
Does that make me an iron man?

Speaker 3 (01:13:42):
Well played? I like that even he says, Dump and
Musty can both go to hell.

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
They may be beefing now, but they will team up
again because one is a terred the other is an
insect that hovers over said Terred. I hope they both
fall off a cliff.

Speaker 3 (01:13:56):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
Let's see YouTube dark now emojis dark. Nader said Sidney
Swinge's bath water soap sells for two thousand dollars on
eBay after selling out in seconds. Alib replied, you think
folks would buy my bath work? At Water Girls start
the only fans to see dark. Nanda said that sore
story would have made for a good guess the race story.

Speaker 3 (01:14:18):
Russhard says it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
May not be the best time for I told you
so when the world is burning, And I said, when
is the best time?

Speaker 3 (01:14:25):
And when isn't the world burning? The fuck.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
I'm not giving up. I told you so. Fuck no,
I will never give up. I told you so on
this motherfucking platform because part of the reason the world
is burning is because people like me told you so,
and Niggas was like, we'll see, well, guess what.

Speaker 3 (01:14:42):
We're fucking around. We're finding out and you need to
have your nose rubbed in it. It shouldn't. This can't
be a hey man, hey, we all make mistakes. This
shit is beyond that.

Speaker 4 (01:14:53):
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
I one hundred percent agree with you, Rod, because I
have very strong opinions about a whole lot of shit
that that have been happening kind of in a political realm,
and the Democrats and how I got a lot of
fucking appens, and there are some things that we talked
about a while ago, and people that act like you're crazy,
to act like you don't know what you're talking about
online is saying the fucking opposite of the reality that

(01:15:17):
I see. And then when the shit come to past,
everybody want to act shocked, surprise, uphaul and like something's wrong, And.

Speaker 4 (01:15:24):
I'm like, bitch, I told you so. You got to
deal with that shit.

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
You got to You got to to deal with the
emotional baggage that goes along with not listening to people
when people actually know what they're talking about.

Speaker 4 (01:15:36):
You got to deal with that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:37):
Not me, and I can multitask.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
I can do I told you so and still keep talking, right,
donna take that long to tell y'all I told you so.

Speaker 3 (01:15:47):
But we got this platform for a reason.

Speaker 2 (01:15:49):
Man, I'm gonna always point out when we're right, because
when we are wrong about shit, we be on here
being accountable about Like, yeah, thought it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
Would work out this way, didn't go the way I thought.

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
Here's the new thoughts, So like, get on your get
to be a one way street, like we just got
to act like Also, like our fans be knowing we
told people so, Like motherfuckers be writing in to let
us like, yo, y'all did say so anyway if you
And the last thing is, I'm fucking tired of tiptoeing
around these motherfucking feelings.

Speaker 3 (01:16:17):
Dog motherfuckers are being too weak. I'm sorry, but these
motherfuckers are too weak to do the things that we
need to be able to do. You got to be
stronger than that.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
And if you can't take a I told you so,
If you can't take an hours wrong, If you can't
take a you were wrong. If you can't take a hey,
what are you gonna change next time? Then we're gonna
end up back here any fucking way, right. The biggest
reason we're in the situation where annown is because we
keep coddling the feelings of people that should know and
do better.

Speaker 3 (01:16:45):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
What are we doing with taking stuff out of school
so people don't feel bad when they learn about slavery
because they might learn some white people had something to
do it, Like, that's.

Speaker 3 (01:16:55):
The kind of well we announce. Not the time.

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
Shit, it's the fucking time. It's the god time. It's
always the time for I told youself, by the way,
but it's now one it ever is the goddamn time.

Speaker 3 (01:17:06):
Like this is in the Hey, man, I told y'all.

Speaker 2 (01:17:11):
Not the dude blank And now your dad is dead
and I'm at the funeral yelling at you that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:17:15):
I'm not doing that. But I am on my podcast gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
Be like, hey, this is what this is happening from
our lack of actions, or the actions of others, or
the actions of ourselves from.

Speaker 3 (01:17:25):
The last time.

Speaker 2 (01:17:26):
And I don't want to be here again, So let's
examine this and not do it again.

Speaker 5 (01:17:30):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:17:30):
And also the thing is, particularly with the election, this
election and when Hillary Clinton was running and when Joe
Biden was running, my thing is do the easy part
so you won't have to do the hard part later on.
If you don't, if it's too hard for you to
do the fucking easy part, how can I expect you

(01:17:52):
to do the hard part? And guess what the easy
party is? Motherfucking voting, Like like like taking your ass
to the booth and voting. What's the easy What's the
easiest fucking thing that you could goddamn do as an
American citizen? It was easy, and motherfucker's act like we
but got them crazy and was like y'all need to vote,
need to vote, need to vote, need to vote. But

(01:18:13):
it was everything else and every other excuse other than voting.

Speaker 4 (01:18:17):
Okay, cool, I was right.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
So now you now the hard part is coming the
shit where you actually got to have actions outside of
the simple shit.

Speaker 4 (01:18:27):
So yes, you got to deal with that.

Speaker 3 (01:18:29):
We're five months in and you don't want to hear
how I told you.

Speaker 4 (01:18:31):
So, bitch, you gonna hear for the rest of my
goddamn life.

Speaker 3 (01:18:34):
Yeah, I'm sorry, Pam.

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
Then and I and if that makes me, that makes
your judgment come down on me.

Speaker 3 (01:18:41):
I welcome the judgment. I welcome it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
Now judge the people that got us in this situation
just as much, because what you're doing right now is me.
I'm the one that's going, hey, that's an iceberg. We
should stare around it. And the people was like, I
think the Titanic can handle it. And now we're all
fucking sinking together, and you're like, now, it's not the
time for I told you so.

Speaker 3 (01:19:03):
What what the fuck is nigga? We're about to drown?

Speaker 2 (01:19:06):
Yeah, and we none of us might be here in
a year, So why don't so you're gonna get this?
I told you so because it's never the right time.
It's like school shootings. You're never supposed to be like,
this is why we need to get rid of guns.
Not the time talk about gun control. People died, it's
too sad. Well, we should talk about it before people die.
But no one's dead right now. I don't know why
you talk about it. Grisman says, Nah, there's always time

(01:19:28):
for I told you so, given how wrong people could
be if you told somebody not to touch something because
it was called and hot. That comment would be on
the table whether or not you say, are you okay
as moot because you already told them they get hurt
where Shot also says, why Scott he pipping forehead catching strays?

Speaker 3 (01:19:42):
We'll see see what Shot come on? Now, you know
you know why because I told him so? Just chilling.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
Bruther says, played politics till we get mad with my nigga.

Speaker 3 (01:19:53):
We end up feeling Hueie. Well he was drained from
watching black shows. Uh yeah, I'll remember that from Blue Dots. No,
but I've been listening all for a year. Y'all funny.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
Uh, Katrina says, hey, thanks, just chilling bro. Katrina says
at the blackoutis this is the first time watching your podcast.
I normally listened on Serious XM. When I saw your Karen,
I was like, wow, she looks like me.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
I was like I was.

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
It was like I was looking at myself. Facial expressions
at all hilarious.

Speaker 4 (01:20:19):
Yay, I'm glad.

Speaker 1 (01:20:21):
I thank.

Speaker 3 (01:20:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:23):
Now I gotta go on Instagram and see if that's
true or you're just saying that.

Speaker 3 (01:20:26):
You know, It's like if I look and be like
you don't look like careen.

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
Uh, Jamesville says, all the claims of free speech, all
the Ish people were able to talk about and to
Biden Obama and nothing would happen to them. Now you're
getting fired on a basic tweet like that wasn't even
a threat or libel yep. Firing journalists, handcuffing politicians, arresting

(01:20:50):
people practicing their freedom of speech protesting, yeah yeah, and
now politicians are getting shot in their homes in the
middle of the night, people dressed as police officers. Who
knows who, Who knows who ultimately will be be held
responsible for that. But the tenor of this environment does

(01:21:12):
come from the top down. That's not something the last
president was promoting. Nope, he wasn't demagog and everyone as
a fucking enemy and was still.

Speaker 3 (01:21:21):
Told to be too not was stole to be nicer?

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
Right, he sweat cheap ass, better hired, damn made, and
get back to begging.

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
And of course Karen spoiled behind, will get immediately mad
at his comments.

Speaker 4 (01:21:35):
Jason, I'm not gonna lie blame Roger.

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
Jaesus says, your Caren, it was so nice to you
to let Rod win a few times at that game. Uh,
you sisters always built us up with regards to the
captain going down with the ship. I'm guessing it came
from a time when the crew had enough for the captain.
When they showed back up on land, they needed exclation
for why old captain wasn't with them. I think companies
have realized that all the money is in the.

Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
Right wing media.

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
Well, my thing is for that last scenario to work,
I feel like they would have had to drown the
captain in the ship and like take a boat, so
like get another way to get to the land. Because
you when you say that captain goes down with the ship,
that mean the ship going down too.

Speaker 3 (01:22:17):
So how they get back without the captain? That don't
make no sense?

Speaker 4 (01:22:22):
No, it does not, and it doubly.

Speaker 2 (01:22:24):
I just feel that left lean and people do not
need their world you validated quite as much as right
wing folks.

Speaker 3 (01:22:28):
If you right wing, you have.

Speaker 2 (01:22:30):
To watch Fox News because reality is left lean and slant,
Whereas if you're left leaning, you don't need twenty four
to seven validation of your opinions.

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
Just go outside. I thought it was really Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:22:39):
I think I want to say you're right, but I
also feel like they don't have a version of that,
And I would be so interested if left wing people
did have some version of that what it would look like,
because I just think it's impossible to have that on
the left wing, yes, meaning that the.

Speaker 3 (01:22:58):
Amalgamation of.

Speaker 2 (01:23:02):
What it takes to build a coalition is impossible to
do what Fox News does. If Fox News is only
serving one ideal, which is white supremacy all the time, yep,
it's so much easier to stay on message. Whereas if
I'm the liberal station and I'm supposed to be giving
liberal people a worldview where I am confirming their biases,

(01:23:28):
what are the biases? Do I say that trans women
in sports is fine, not it's a non issue, and
if anything, we support it, or do I lose some
of the people on my side because they go, actually, no,
I am a feminist, but I'm not that I'm pro
woman and whatever, but I'm not pro trans women in sports.

(01:23:50):
And so suddenly now I have to take that off
the table as a thing we can't talk about on
our show. How many people are anti who won't like
police reform and police community responsibility, but they don't want
no police, right. I have to figure out how to
finess that message to please enough people to keep watching.

Speaker 3 (01:24:09):
So I don't think it's possible over here.

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
Whereas the other side, they they operate in a different way,
which is we're here because we don't want to see
people that aren't like us get as much as us, agreed.

Speaker 3 (01:24:24):
And they will accept.

Speaker 2 (01:24:25):
A lot more compromise in those messages. So they'll be
hypocrites and be completely fine as long as you keep
the focus on like the people they hate. And I
don't think democrats or leftists or I don't think anyone
on our side has that that we don't all have
the same target.

Speaker 3 (01:24:43):
It would be good.

Speaker 2 (01:24:45):
One other thing I thought was gonna work with Trump
was Trump would give everyone one thing to go.

Speaker 3 (01:24:50):
No, that is worse, and it didn't work.

Speaker 4 (01:24:53):
That is worse, you know, agreed.

Speaker 1 (01:24:56):
And also the thing is on the left, you're trying
to build a coalition, and you also have different people
from different walks of life, with different experiences and shit
like that, and so because of that, it's very hard.
Like right, I say, it's very hard to have one
unifying message. And I agree the hate for Trump for

(01:25:17):
me was sufficient enough, but it was not sufficient enough
for enough people to take their asses to the poll
and vote.

Speaker 2 (01:25:24):
I thought it was really good gender wars. For gender wars,
judging a woman's lack of cooking is like someone getting
hitting the balls in comedy. It's hacked, but it's effective
every time. Also, Keith Sweat was the perfect messenger. His
last hit song was long enough ago that he's old
enough that you can't you can imagine him actually voted
his own clothes. Usha couldn't have pulled this off well,
yr Usher would have never never.

Speaker 7 (01:25:45):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:25:46):
The poll was, do you iron your mate's clothes? No?
Nine and a half percent.

Speaker 2 (01:25:53):
Yes, So there you go. So some people out here
ironing some clothes, but not many. All right, let's go
to the voicemail.

Speaker 4 (01:26:01):
I do it now. The dryers tumble drying, tumbled out
the wrinkles. The fuck you iron it for for something?
For some people's philosophy. They was like this fancy ass dry.

Speaker 3 (01:26:09):
Let's go to the voicemails. All right.

Speaker 2 (01:26:42):
I think that was called the heart to or something.
I forget who made it? All right, here's the voicemails.
We got two new voicemails that I can see.

Speaker 5 (01:26:51):
Kay Rod and karyon really again from Brooklyn forgot to
mention in my last called, uh Cameron.

Speaker 2 (01:27:00):
Okay, so this call is actually from last Saturday, but
after we had finished the show.

Speaker 5 (01:27:05):
Okay, just how disgusting was what he said asking the
guy about Cassie. But right less cannot forget that this
is the same person who got on sixty minutes and
talked about no snitching and championed you know, even to

(01:27:29):
the point that I believe Tucker Carlson was like, well,
what if someone did something to your mom or somebody
you loved, you know who it was, You're still not
going to say anything. And he was probably definedly ten
toes down. Yeah, I'm not snitching, So you're right when

(01:27:50):
you say, for some reason, to tell you the truth.
I don't even know who he's respected by lyrically. You know,
he's had some hits that are radio friendly or wherever.
But and I just saw some I think his show

(01:28:11):
with Mace where he was talking about how he's written
a lot of songs, which was surprising. Okay, but he's
never been that great of an MC to me, So
why people still I don't know, respect him whatever beats me.
But he's been dumb for a long time. So just

(01:28:33):
throwing that out there, will wait here. Please listen to
J Cole like, I'm not gonna get into it. I'm
probably gonna get cut off.

Speaker 4 (01:28:41):
But.

Speaker 5 (01:28:44):
Yeah, Ja Cole, Yes, that'll be another phone call, I
guess voicemail.

Speaker 6 (01:28:52):
All right, keep out, y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:28:54):
Well, I do listen to Ja Cole. I feel like
J Cole and I don't know how.

Speaker 2 (01:29:01):
To tell you guys this y'all might be the worst
and I don't mean this, and I listen to Ja Cole.
I'm a fan, but the way that y'all take on
this grievance on his behalf is not doing him any favors.
And it's been years I've talked about on the show.
I don't talk about how much Ja Cole I listened

(01:29:21):
to because of shit like this, because you can't talk
about what out people kind of turning it into, you know,
like you're disrespecting him or something if you don't have
him as like the best ever or whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:29:33):
I like J Cole.

Speaker 2 (01:29:34):
This a Jacole Really podcast. Other people might not like him.
I'm not forced. I'm not gonna be like his fans
and defend his honor every time somebody doesn't like him.

Speaker 3 (01:29:43):
It's fine. To not like whoever you don't like. I'm
from North.

Speaker 2 (01:29:46):
Carolina and I think, yeah, I have nothing negative to
say about ja Cole. Really, it's really when people force
you into a negative situation where they want to make
you be well, you got to admit this, and then
it's like, okay, well now I'm not gonna lie to you.
I think some people are better than Jacole, but it
doesn't necessarily mean that he ain't for me or he

(01:30:06):
ain't good. And other people that don't listen to him
just are mostly mostly emotionally reacting to people, to his fans,
so they say some of the meaning shit about him,
and I don't think it's called for because I don't
think it's a guy you.

Speaker 3 (01:30:21):
Need to be mean about, right, I agree with that.

Speaker 2 (01:30:23):
I don't think he's making There's so many people making
like horribly misogynistic, anti black drug dealing, fucked up music
that we give a absolute pass to whether they're lying
or being real. We'd be like, I don't know Rick
Ross was jamming fucking But somehow jac keeps ending up
in this category where people feel like his fans I think,

(01:30:46):
are forcing him to be slanderous of the dude and
of course the way he bowed out that battle. I mean, Nigga,
that was just I don't give fuck who you are.
You could be my favorite rapper all the time, you
catching heat for that. You don't back out no battle,
not after all the year to talking shit about being
the greatest, Like it just is what it is. You're
gonna take that l But uh yeah, anyway, no need
to write in about him. I promise you it'll just

(01:31:08):
end up in a bad place where I'm going. I'm
a J Cole fan. But let me tell you why this, this,
and this is what's wrong with him. And I don't
want to do that because I like him for a
bunch of reasons that aren't the reasons that he's not
the greatest rapper to everybody. So while why even what
were we doing? You know what I mean, it's for
the rest of it. With Cameron. It's interesting with Cameron

(01:31:32):
because Cam got lyrical ability. I've listened. I mean, that's
me is one of the greatest like rap lyrical like
Finess's I've ever heard. Like just the way he wrote
that beat and the way he was using those multi
syllabic rhyme schemes, and I mean, of course, but he

(01:31:56):
was always ignorant in his music. He was always ignorant
his commentary and his persona.

Speaker 3 (01:32:02):
I just think people like being entertained.

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
He's a very entertaining man, and if you are very entertaining,
people for the most part cannot truly get rid of you.
And I would say he is no more he is
for the most part about he can't be called out
within that industry because who would do it? Meaning, Okay, Cameron,

(01:32:29):
you are being horrible about.

Speaker 3 (01:32:31):
This sexual assault story in Cassie. Okay, So who's gonna
call him out? Joe Budden? You know what I'm saying?
Like the Breakfast Club, Like.

Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
They're bigger voices than his, that are more successful and
no better about how they deal with these topics. Many
of the hosts have been cused of sexual assault and stuff.
Academics has been accused of sexual assault, Joe Budden's been
accused of being domestic violence, Charlemagne's been accused of sexual assault.

Speaker 3 (01:33:03):
Like who they gonna call out?

Speaker 2 (01:33:05):
Like, there's no leverage within this industry for these people,
because at the end of the day, they all just
glad the hands not pointing at them today, and they
don't want to invite any commentary that's gonna lead people
to retracing their steps and gonna, wait a minute, the
fuck you talking about You told us don't believe bitches
when it was you, So yeah, they not.

Speaker 3 (01:33:24):
This is just a bad environment.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
These people are not accountable and they honestly think a
lot of the misogyny that they do is just entertainment,
and we've allowed that to be part of the culture.
Is like, this is entertainment to us. So yeah, we'll
clutch our pearls at this one moment, but he'll be
back the next day talking about something else, and he'll
have another moment like this in six months to a year,
and we'll go that's terrible, and then you'll go right back, right,

(01:33:48):
that's not you. But people will go back. I just
want you all to know, and this is not me
virtual saying no, this is.

Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
Just the truth. I don't listen to any of these shows.

Speaker 2 (01:33:57):
I don't either, but is a part of our our culture,
a much big, a very big part of our culture.
Meaning my friends send me clips of these shows. My
friends are in my text talking about these shows. They
know I don't watch. I'm not interested in watching. I
never take the bait. I don't go back and forth.
They know way more about these people than I do
because they do watch, even if they're disgusted by it.

(01:34:19):
And at the end of the day, we look we
are in an era where if you watch, they win.
Yes and yes, I'm not judging you and telling you
to make you not watch. I'm saying it because it's
facts if you watch their winning. So Cameron's winning because
people are gonna go back and watch him in Mace period. Right.

Speaker 1 (01:34:36):
That's that's that's how they do it. The views, the clicks,
the likes. That's currency. And you know, sometimes I translate
the money. Sometimes it doesn't, but but it is.

Speaker 3 (01:34:45):
They got the currency right.

Speaker 4 (01:34:46):
It is a form of currency.

Speaker 1 (01:34:48):
And it's also one of the things for me, I've
come to the conclusion with a lot of these shows,
motherfuckers are lying. I'm just gonna telling niggas is lying
because everybody told me, no, nobody's watching this bullshit, like
like like on Whin, We'll tell you nobody's watching this bullshit.
I actually don't watch, so I know nothing, but you know,
it floods my timeline every six months to a year

(01:35:10):
to eight months, clips.

Speaker 4 (01:35:12):
From all of these people.

Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
And it comes from these same people that turn around
and told me nobody watches the shit, So you're lying.

Speaker 4 (01:35:21):
You watch it, you consume it, you know, and that's okay,
But just be.

Speaker 1 (01:35:25):
Truthful with yourself and don't and and and and and
don't act like nobody's not watching, oh, looking, or consuming it, because.

Speaker 4 (01:35:32):
They are the numbers say that they are.

Speaker 3 (01:35:36):
Yeah, so yeah, it is what it is. But ironic
A's name of his schelle.

Speaker 2 (01:35:42):
But uh, yeah it was disgusting and once again, uh,
nothing will be done about it. And because there's this
lowered expectations that a lot of times black creatives get
to participate in, meaning that.

Speaker 3 (01:35:57):
It's not their fault, but because people racially.

Speaker 2 (01:36:02):
Look down on us and think our culture is less
than other cultures, there can't be an accountability.

Speaker 3 (01:36:09):
There won't be outrage, and there won't be.

Speaker 2 (01:36:11):
A boycott or a call to do this, that and
the other for a lot of times because people just
think it's part of our culture to say shit like that,
horrible important shit about Cassie.

Speaker 3 (01:36:20):
They just think, yeah, that's part of that's what black
men do.

Speaker 2 (01:36:23):
Then they're homophobic, they're misogynistic, that's what they do. And
so no one's gonna call him out, no one's gonna
stop listening, and he'll be no sponsors gonna boycott.

Speaker 3 (01:36:31):
It just is what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:36:33):
Meanwhile, if that was say, trying to think of an equivalent,
but there's no real equivalent. But let's say that was like, well,
I'm sure there's got to be equivalent. There's like some
I'm sure you guys know of somebody. If Dak Shephard
did that or whatever on his podcast, it'd be a
fucking problem. Yeah, because they got held to a different

(01:36:54):
standard them. White people's standards is different. The way they
view misogyny is different, and they wouldn't be like, well,
it's a black woman, so it's okay. They'd be like,
get Dak Schev is a fake ass not feminist, motherfucker.

Speaker 3 (01:37:06):
He need to get the fuck out of here.

Speaker 2 (01:37:08):
So like, if it was someone of that ilk with
those type of standards, maybe maybe someone who was huge,
like a Joe Rogan or somebody could get away with
something like that just because people will go.

Speaker 3 (01:37:19):
There so huge, we don't think we can do anything
about it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
But someone if that gets about the same amount of
viewers as Cameron that was white.

Speaker 3 (01:37:27):
That said that ship. It would have been a huge problem. Anyway.
Last story, last voicemail.

Speaker 6 (01:37:33):
Oh my gosh, Karen, mm hmm. First of all, this
new voicemailit thing it reins longer than sky. Not detail,
but I just noticed that. But I don't have talked
about it on the show. Maybe you didn't and I

(01:37:56):
just shown out on it. But Kenrick, uh, Kendrick doing
a concert in Toronto, multiple concerts in Toronto, foe I've heard,
and doing not Like Us and maybe you guys if
you guys haven't talked about it, I'm sorry. I'm just
like building up your response on it. But I'm really sorry.

(01:38:18):
But and then doing multiple shows and then and and
then singing not Like Us along with the crowd. It's
when Kendrick said he take it there, I'll take it further, yo.
My guy meant that damn Drake. Yeah, Like all I
got to go is like being like Drake, you know,

(01:38:40):
and then you know that meek male meme and Nick
is like get up, you know, Like that's what I
want to say, d'ye Drake up. You guys are the
best podcast. Seriously, love you guys, listener forever appreciate, Thank.

Speaker 3 (01:39:01):
You for listening.

Speaker 2 (01:39:03):
No, we did not talk about it, but honestly, it
happened after we.

Speaker 3 (01:39:06):
Were off the air for the week.

Speaker 2 (01:39:08):
I think those concerts are like Thursday and Friday maybe,
so we wouldn't have had a chance to talk about
it anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:39:15):
But yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (01:39:16):
Mean, I don't have nothing to say. Like we knew
when they announced the tour days. I'm sure we discussed
they were doing two shows in Toronto back to back,
like he had to open up the second show for
the record, Like the first one sold out so fast
it was like, well, we gotta do two nights.

Speaker 3 (01:39:33):
So it went exactly as I thought.

Speaker 2 (01:39:35):
And being in the house for the concert in Charlotte
and wrapping along every single word to Euphoria and not
like us, I mean, you knew it was gonna hit
hard in Toronto too, and it did.

Speaker 5 (01:39:46):
It did.

Speaker 1 (01:39:47):
Yeah, the boy is now bad and he meant that
and everybody thought he was bullshitting and Kitchen was like, no,
I mean this with every five of my soul.

Speaker 4 (01:39:56):
I do not like that man.

Speaker 2 (01:39:58):
Yeah, at this point they're just stomping on a dead corpse.
But I'm here for it all right. Oh, my favorite
detail is that they were gonna do a Drake fan
meet up out front of the arena, and then they canceled.

Speaker 3 (01:40:09):
It like they were like they.

Speaker 2 (01:40:11):
Were gonna do a ground like movement of let's show
people we still support the boy, we still support Toronto
and that Kendrick don't run our city. And then later
on another post on the Instagram or whatever went out like, guys,
we had to cancel the meeting.

Speaker 3 (01:40:24):
We're gonna try to get tomorrow. I was like, oh damn,
that's not a good sign.

Speaker 4 (01:40:27):
You can't do it today, you can't do it tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:40:29):
All right, voicemail, I mean emails is next.

Speaker 4 (01:40:59):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:41:00):
Some one in the chat said with j Coo, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:41:04):
Not sure Jacob would be on North Carolina's rap Mount
Rushmore and I'm I'm like, I can't even imagine.

Speaker 3 (01:41:13):
It's less.

Speaker 2 (01:41:14):
Little brother Counts is one instead of two people. I said, well,
little brother to me would count as one, right like
our cast counts is one to me. But uh, they
list was Rhapsody, Okay, respect little Brother pd Pablo. I went, Pablo,
come on, now, come on.

Speaker 3 (01:41:34):
Now, you can't do Pablo is not in the top rappers.
Come on, man, we know the.

Speaker 2 (01:41:39):
One song Dog, This the one song you can't you
can't do that?

Speaker 3 (01:41:44):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 4 (01:41:46):
What other songs have Pablo done?

Speaker 3 (01:41:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
Man, like if you was gonna put people on there,
there are people, but I wouldn't necessarily put them on that.
But Pablo, I'm not making that argument. The baby to
me is above Pete Pablo.

Speaker 4 (01:42:02):
Like see yes, oh as far as no hits.

Speaker 2 (01:42:05):
Yet, yeah, yeah, Corday, come on, man, I'm looking at this.
I just google people from here and and I don't
even know that. I didn't know Corday was from here,
but Corday.

Speaker 3 (01:42:15):
Would definitely be there. He can rap. Yeah, Like, this
is kind of crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:42:19):
We don't have a lot of people hit from here,
but I know, like lude uh yeah, we got people
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:42:25):
Dog, I'm not I'm not doing that. I'm not putting
Popo over Ja Cob. See that's now you're gonna get
that woman right there.

Speaker 2 (01:42:32):
She's gonna call in again and be like, see this
is the disrespect I'm talking This is what I was
talking about. She's gonna act like I didn't disagree with
it and say that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:42:41):
Rod did disagree.

Speaker 2 (01:42:42):
Now she's gonna act like like the because the j
Kofiz don't hear none of the love.

Speaker 3 (01:42:46):
They just hear slander.

Speaker 2 (01:42:47):
They just only hear the negative, and they forget that
people is on here being like.

Speaker 3 (01:42:51):
Nah, I don't agree.

Speaker 4 (01:42:53):
Yeah, Roder listens to much more J Cole than I have.

Speaker 1 (01:42:56):
I haven't really sat down and listen not to fund
of any of his albums, so it's hard for me
to quote unquote Judge's work.

Speaker 2 (01:43:01):
Yeah anyway, Chrystal Wright saying negative movie reviews a bit
off topic, but I know you are movie reviewers, so
I wanted to see your thoughts. I went to see
Karate Kid Legends this weekend. I took my daughter and
her friend because they were bored and tried everything to
get out of it because.

Speaker 3 (01:43:17):
I thought it was going to be boring.

Speaker 2 (01:43:18):
I ended up really enjoying the movie, and my daughter
and her good friend last screen in the chair throughout
the film.

Speaker 3 (01:43:22):
They loved the movie, and so did I.

Speaker 2 (01:43:23):
I like watching YouTube commentary regarding films because sometimes they
are a little easter eggs throughout the films, and I
wanted to see if there's anything I missed. I was
very surprised that every single review channel that came up
when I typed Karate Kid Legends review was negative with
a sour look on his face, on their face and thumbnail.

Speaker 3 (01:43:39):
Saying what the fuck what went wrong? Awful? I think
I've written about it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:42):
It written in about Disney or Marvel and wondering if
this is a way to take the numbers by flooding
you with negativity regarding the film, But now I'm just
thinking it's any film with a minority or Disney. Well,
negative commentary helps you go more viral on social mediagorithm.
It also is a easier to do than positive commentary,
which is why, you know, no offense to people that

(01:44:05):
just do the like let me tell you why this
movie sucks stuff, which is like I think started for
me with the like god, I forget the name of it,
but they had a YouTube channel that used to do
like the snarky movie reviews and it was just like
mm hmm, and it just I think once people saw
that success, it was like every movie review should sound
like this movie ain't shit. Yes, And now even those

(01:44:29):
people have lightened up, like they have. I listen to
their reviews sometimes and they'll be like positive about a movie,
like they'll do centers and they'll have jokes, but the
jokes will be a lot more like understanding of like, no,
this movie is good, and they're the jokes are about
how good it is, or like the jokes are about
something that might be silly, but the movie's so good

(01:44:49):
that it's okay. They found a way in a time
where I think everyone else went to the negatives, And
you're right, would it be in Disney, would it be
in a minority? These are layups for racist people, layups
for a certain type of bro to click on your
content and go ooh, I'm gonna watch that. And there's
not a lot of money in being fair in movie reviews,

(01:45:11):
and there's not a lot of money and liking movies
for the most part unless you can get like brand
sponsorship deals or something. So I think what you're saying
is about right that being said, I thought Karate Kid
was like a perfectly fine film. I could get people
that hated I get people that love it. But you know,
for me, when I walked out the theater, I was like,

(01:45:32):
yeah it was to me, it was a passable film.

Speaker 4 (01:45:34):
It was cute.

Speaker 2 (01:45:35):
Felt yeah it was cute, that's the best way to
put it. And it felt like something kids and parents
would enjoy together. Yes, and it felt like something that
if it was streaming on Netflix next week, I would
not be surprised. I'd be like, Yeah, it felt like
a some sort of like Netflix tie into the TV show.

Speaker 3 (01:45:51):
Yes, one of your thoughts.

Speaker 2 (01:45:53):
Because my conspiracy theory is that there's more currency and negativity. Well, shit, girl,
you just read my mind. Okay, we just said that. Okay,
look at us. Like any movie you pick, everything is
going to be what went wrong? And it's like, this
wasn't an Oscar contender. Lol, it was a cute kids
from bakarate.

Speaker 3 (01:46:08):
What do you mean what went wrong?

Speaker 2 (01:46:10):
It's weird and it's this pervasive social toxic culture of
everything being negative.

Speaker 3 (01:46:15):
That's the new end trend.

Speaker 2 (01:46:16):
You can't simply enjoy something at the nitpick and find
any everything wrong tear it all down.

Speaker 3 (01:46:20):
Have you all noticed the same?

Speaker 2 (01:46:22):
Just one of your thoughts? I think I just gave mine,
So yes, yes we have noticed.

Speaker 1 (01:46:26):
And yes we did it for those of you that
are like, how do we feel about it? And our
review is actually on the free feed.

Speaker 2 (01:46:34):
Yeah, so check out the Blackout Tip Sport movie reviews
if you want to hear our thoughts on reviews. We're
still doing them, and I think I think the coolest
thing about our reviews, if I can toot my own
horn for a second, because I came up with the format,
But I think the best thing about our reviews is
that they're very simple, and that no matter how complicated
and stuff, we can get into conversations, but that we

(01:46:56):
make we force each other to consider what we liked
about a film and what we didn't like. And while
I know when you're roasting the film, it's better to
pretend like you like nothing, I personally don't like that
format of movie review because I've listened to movie reviewers
who do that, and they fall into this weird hole

(01:47:17):
of I'm getting the dopamine hit from being negative. Now
I need to be negative towards everything, and suddenly they
just sound like a motherfucker that hates every movie but
won't stop seeing them.

Speaker 6 (01:47:28):
And.

Speaker 2 (01:47:30):
Most people are not funny enough or fair enough to
pull it off, and it just ends up with every
movie reviewer sounding the same to me.

Speaker 3 (01:47:39):
And it's fair because.

Speaker 2 (01:47:40):
If you had to see everything for a job, you
would Eventually it becomes a job and you start stop
liking shit.

Speaker 3 (01:47:46):
It's just life.

Speaker 2 (01:47:47):
But we've been able to keep it simple by being like,
we're still fans of movies first and foremost, we want
to go see a movie.

Speaker 3 (01:47:54):
We always wanted to be good.

Speaker 2 (01:47:56):
But the good and the bad segments make us be fair.
And it's funny because whenever I have a guest on
our reviews who's not familiar with the format, I can
hear them as a struggle to do one or the other.
And the reason they struggle, I think, is because most
reviews aren't like that. It's just if you liked it,

(01:48:17):
we are only saying good.

Speaker 3 (01:48:18):
Shit.

Speaker 2 (01:48:18):
If you didn't like it, we are only saying bad, right,
and it happens. It's human, it's human nature. But it's
a great thought exercise to be like, how would I
talk about this movie if I had to say what
I liked about it versus what I didn't like. And
a lot of times when we do the review I
can hear people who are guessed in our reviews.

Speaker 3 (01:48:38):
Their brain starts working and you get and they get into, oh, well,
I guess I did like this.

Speaker 4 (01:48:43):
They stop really analyzing it.

Speaker 2 (01:48:44):
Because, like they because you come in with a feeling
and you're like, I just want to shit on this movie.

Speaker 3 (01:48:48):
I just love this movie.

Speaker 2 (01:48:49):
But when I'm like, because even when we do the
dislikes for movies that we love, sometimes they have to
be like, yes, but I.

Speaker 3 (01:48:55):
Do see people who are going.

Speaker 1 (01:48:57):
To feel a way about this, right, that's fair. Yeah,
And sometimes the dislikes might not even be personal dislikes.
But sometimes, as movie gorge, we could be like, Okay,
I could see why somebody would think this, this, that
and the other, and we don't want to lie to you,
like the movies are perfect.

Speaker 2 (01:49:14):
Yeah, but yeah, so that's that's how we do it.
But back to this, Stephanie says, Hey, y'all, I got
a question I've been thinking about for a while. Do
you guys think that voting is a form of protesting?
Because I think it is. I saw someone on Twitter
say it wasn't. I forgot that reason then, but I disagree.
As long as the voting machines keep missing the charging cord,

(01:49:36):
it is protesting and revolutionary vot niggas a fascist uprising,
it's protesting.

Speaker 3 (01:49:40):
But I haven't read the book, so maybe I'm wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:49:42):
I love them to hear your thoughts. By the way,
that Biden book only sold less than sixty k copies.
Laugh my ass off. He really thought, what jail about one?

Speaker 3 (01:49:50):
So there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:49:51):
Uh so I don't have to I'll just listen to
this podcast. It is voting a former protesting? Yes, you
have to say yes, right, because I feel like the
only So this is what I think fucks people up.
They think protesting means something outside of the quote unquote system,

(01:50:14):
and they think voting is the system.

Speaker 3 (01:50:18):
The thing is, why would they be trying.

Speaker 2 (01:50:21):
To keep me from being able to use my vote
if that was not against the wishes of the people
that in control.

Speaker 4 (01:50:28):
Of the system.

Speaker 2 (01:50:28):
And yeah, yeah, forget about like yeah, like, but just
saying protesting because I think.

Speaker 3 (01:50:42):
I don't want to take it too far.

Speaker 2 (01:50:44):
But just in general, I think we over index the
power of protesting, and by which I mean picking signs
and marches and shit like that. I think we over
index how powerful that is, and then we under index
how powerful voting is.

Speaker 4 (01:51:04):
Right, And so.

Speaker 3 (01:51:07):
Calling it protests are not protesting me is more of.

Speaker 2 (01:51:11):
A semantics issue, and a lot of these people online
like to argue semantics because what they don't want to
say is, oh, what I'm guessing they're hitting that and
probably you picked up on and of course I'm speculating,
I don't know you. I didn't see this interaction. My
guess is that they're saying your vote ain't shit. That's
what they want, that's part of the system. Me with

(01:51:33):
this picket sign, that's real protest. That's what counts, that's
what's gonna move things. Which is why I don't vote,
because I've already got ill got the picket sign and
they didn't see that coming to which I just feel
like we are way too far off the script for
us to believe that's true. They absolutely are calculating and

(01:51:53):
hoping that you'll ask don't vote, and if they do
try to vote, they are hoping to keep you from voting.
And then lastly, even with voting, some of these same
people will say I protest voted, meaning I didn't vote
for Democrats or Republicans, I voted for I voted for
some other shit as a protest.

Speaker 3 (01:52:13):
So that means there's a way to vote that is
a protest to you.

Speaker 2 (01:52:17):
Me personally, I think the biggest protest you can make
against fascism is to vote for the party that is
the biggest threat to the fascism in your country at
the time that has the biggest viable threat. So like,
Green Party to me, is not a protest vote. No,
that's me throwing my vote away. Yes, it is Democrats
to me, is me saying I am protesting what Trump
is about, and unless Republicans give us something that is

(01:52:39):
going to make me even consider voting for them, there's
no fucking reason for me to ever support that.

Speaker 3 (01:52:44):
What they're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:52:45):
At least, the Democrats do things that are tangible and
I would consider in my best interests many of the time,
and they're almost always in my best interest compared to Republicans.

Speaker 3 (01:52:55):
And that's a big fucking factor.

Speaker 2 (01:52:57):
Yes, I think that's why I would say, you know,
a vote, a vote is a protest, even when it's
a vote for one of the main two parties. But yeah, uh,
I think somebody's trying to wint a semantic argument with
you online and I just wouldn't participate in it if
I was.

Speaker 4 (01:53:14):
You me either. It's stupid.

Speaker 3 (01:53:16):
Yeah, Like, what are you winning by being like it
is a protest? Okay? Now what because it's not like
the motherfuckers.

Speaker 2 (01:53:21):
Normally changed their mind, right they you know, they this
this thing they do online.

Speaker 3 (01:53:25):
It's like they set up that fucking booth.

Speaker 2 (01:53:26):
It's like, voting is not a protest, change my mind
five dollars, like no.

Speaker 1 (01:53:32):
You're wasting time, and that the thing is voting is
a powerful too, because if it wasn't, they went to
try to strip it away.

Speaker 4 (01:53:40):
And too many people died for my right to vote.

Speaker 1 (01:53:43):
They died protesting, Like like the protest was me dying
so you could have the right to vote. So yes,
voting is a form of protest because they tried everything
in their power to prevent you from voting.

Speaker 4 (01:53:54):
Everybody didn't get the rights to vote at the same time.

Speaker 1 (01:53:57):
And some you know, depend on what group you're in,
and it took you know, years and decades before you
know your group quote unquote got the right to vote.

Speaker 4 (01:54:05):
And so you know, for me, yes it is. And
people are stupid.

Speaker 1 (01:54:10):
I can put up a picket sign and still take
my black ass to vote.

Speaker 4 (01:54:13):
That vote too.

Speaker 1 (01:54:14):
People that act like it's either one or the other,
and it's and and and that's ridiculous. You think Martin
Luther King and all these people was just protesting.

Speaker 4 (01:54:21):
They ain't. They didn't. They didn't go vote.

Speaker 1 (01:54:23):
They didn't they didn't make their voices heard in addition
to the protest like that that that is ridiculous, and
so yes, it is the form of protesting. To me,
it's the easiest form of protest, to be told, because
it's easier for me to take my black ass to
the booth than it is for me to get my
black ass out down the street and get bit by
dogs and water holes and bitty clubs and my ass
whooped and shit like that. I would rather protest with

(01:54:44):
my vote any day than to pick up a sign.

Speaker 2 (01:54:48):
If protesting is about getting your voice heard, I think
voting very similarly is about getting your voice heard. And
so I just think then in that way, you can
say it's a protest, but I just I really feel
like it's semantics, and I really feel like people engageing
needs to make the arguments black or white, so that
one doesn't work and one does, or so one's powerful

(01:55:09):
and one is it, one's right and one's wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:55:11):
And I just think leaving any bullets on the table
and out of the gun is stupid.

Speaker 2 (01:55:17):
I agree, so the same way I wouldn't. I don't
integrate people for protesting, but I think when you look
around this environment and you see like you know the
history of like the seventies and Vietnam and shit, you
realize protesting also has a lot of limits, and so
especially when the people in charge.

Speaker 3 (01:55:36):
Don't have shame and they don't care.

Speaker 2 (01:55:38):
I agreed, So I don't know, you can't just protest
your way out of that.

Speaker 3 (01:55:42):
So anyway, that's how we feel about it. Thank you for.

Speaker 2 (01:55:45):
Listening, everybody. We'll be back Tomorrow's Father's Day. So my
dad will be here for the Father's Day episode, So
tune in at that ten am tomorrow and we'll chop
it up with my dad and talk a bunch of
stuff politics and whatever else pop culture.

Speaker 4 (01:56:01):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:56:02):
And you can ask questions of my dad if you're
in the chat room and the live audience and you
want to get his thoughts on opinions on certain things.

Speaker 3 (01:56:10):
We can do that. So all right, y'all, until next time.
I love you.

Speaker 4 (01:56:13):
I love you. Why
