Speaker 3 (00:42):
I got one?

Speaker 2 (00:42):
All right?

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Do you have any? Do you have any? Do you
have any banter?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Anter? Banter? Banter?

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Ant you talk to me?

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Do you have any? All right? Vanter? Time careen.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yes. Have you ever like read like a.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Drink and like the name of the drink, like the
death water? Did they call first liquid death? Liquid death?

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:30):
The first time I seen I was like, the fuck
is this? And I didn't even They was like it's water.
I was like, I don't understand it's called liquid death.
How is it water Water Brings life like I was
very very confused by that title, and I've seen another
confusing drink. I do not know if this is the
official name, but these are the letters I seen down
the side of the king.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
It said c fol.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Last time I checked that met something very very explosive.
But when I looked it was like lime like straw
had all these flavors.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
I was like, the fuck is happening?

Speaker 2 (02:01):
These names sound dangerous. See for energy drink. I just
looked it up. I think energy drinks have been getting
away with murder the whole time, though. I feel like
all the energy drink names, you know, whether it's Monster,
red Bull, like, they're all these weird names, and I
guess that's part of it. I'm not an energy drink person,

(02:22):
so I don't drink. I've never really drank energy drinks,
but yeah, I think the energy drink names definitely have
like these weird kind of you know, Monster Energy, Rock
Star Energy, Celsius, Ghost Energy, Bloom Energy, Bang Energy, like

(02:43):
I don't know. I guess it's just.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
They was like, y'all names gotta be so far out
there because y'all can't be using regular as names and
people buying that shit they have and heart paputations because
they ain't got a fucking energy drink and they thought
they was getting some lemon ain't.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, I don't know what the branded department is, but
it feels like they're drinking the energy drinks and then
coming up with the titles. Yes, because this made me
feel like my heart's gonna explode. Oh see four, write that.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Down, Write that down, explode, write that down, clear energy.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Let's go you clip fall out the drink like, no,
but yeah, you have one. I got a bunch. I'll
go through them fast though.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, but I have one more for you go.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Oh you did have more? Okay, so I'll go. I'll
do uh. Spot Spotify needs more specific block instructions, like
right now they have it so you can like, hey,
don't show me this song, don't show me this artist
that's not good enough. I actually need to be able
to go in and specify stuff like don't show me

(03:47):
Kanye at the twenty and fifteen yep, because I like
Kanye stuff before then, but after that, I'm good, right,
Lil Wayne, Hey, I'm I'm hey. I know I checked
out this one, the album that he just put out
to be like, let me see what the people are
talking about. But now every time I long in Spotify,

(04:07):
it's suggesting a little Wayne track, and I'm like this
feature in a little Wayne. I'm like, I'm not a
little Wayne fan like that, right, And I definitely don't
want to hear nothing he put out this year, so stop.
I know he's on a run of trying to promote
this album, but like, I don't want to hear that shit.
You know, Oh, stop giving me Michael Jackson after the
kid touching allegations, you know, like, give me some specifics

(04:29):
on the on the on the block. That's all I'm asking,
you know, No, how can I block Drake when he's singing? Like,
I don't want to block all the Drake, but anytime
he is singing, I need to block that. I don't.
He can't sing and y'all be letting him get away
with shit wait for that for way too long.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
No problem.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
I've realized I like Oreo cookies and I'm a sucker
for them special Oreo cookies because I almost bout what
it's Selena Selena Godmans.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Cook But I was like, Karen, get get your hands
from over here.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
It was pretty and shiny and has some headphts and
I almost bought them bitches.

Speaker 6 (05:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
I always start to find it weird when people are
against the different flavors of oreos. That's like a weird
thing to be mad about. And you see it all
the time where you're like, oh, well, can't it just
be chocolate and the white thing in the middle. It's like,
first of all, that you're eating food, dye and and
all kinds of artificial shit. Just give me the flavors
I want to. I want to see what a strawberry

(05:28):
oreo tastes. Like, Who the fuck is against that? You know?
Sometimes some joints be hitting more than the regular.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Oreoles, Yes they do.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
I haven't made it in a really, really long time,
but I used to. I make this pie and I
take mint oreos and I crush them up and add
some more stuff to it and freeze it and in
the grand cracker crust, that shit, it's fucking flames. I
don't make it that often because I can't even imagine
the calories any I wouldn't eat it now, yeah, yeah, now,
I probably would not eat it. I have made it

(05:58):
in years, but it would it would be outstanding.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
The UNO story from yesterday apparently was fake. UNO had
to come out and tell tell the world like, that's
not real.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Because they had Internet of upworld.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, I appreciate them shutting it down. I'm gonna be
real with you. We that was that was getting I
was scared, Okay. I I don't know why whoever did
that is a very chaotic person for telling us that
it was Draft Kings that posted it. So that's why

(06:39):
people believed it, because why would Draft Kings lie. I mean,
you know, they're very honest and have a lot of integrity.
If you have a gambling problem, they even give you
the phone number, the call you can trust Draft Kings.
But turns out you can't trust Draft Kings because uh
it is. That is not actually happening. It's not just
add it in it too. What is happening is the

(07:01):
Palm Casino is temporarily opening the UNO Social Club, complete
with a dealer to shuffle and distributed cards, but it's
not open to the public. It's a promotion allowing one
winner and their guests to enjoy the space and stay
in the UNO theme penthouse this weekend. There's no gambling involved,
which would be illegal because Uno is not an approved

(07:22):
gambling game, so the Uno story was essentially fake. But
that's how fast fake news spreads, because it came through
draft Kings official account, which everyone thought was a reputable source,
including me, So they got me. I sold some stuff

(07:43):
at the second hand store up the street, second in Charles, Yes, yeah,
and it's like nerdy stuff books, you know, video game
stuff like that. That's what they sell. That's what they
buy in there, and that's what they sell. But I
was gonna throw this stuff out because I'm just decluttering
some of the stuff in the house. And I was like,
oh yeah, I wonder if I could sell this. And
I took it up there in the Bend and they

(08:06):
the guy took like about half the stuff, a couple
of fun Co pops and all this shit, and he
was like, okay, well we should call you. They give
you they get your phone number to give you, like
a slip of paper with the number on it, and
they're like, we'll call you and let you know how
like when it's ready to like if we can use

(08:27):
it all.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
And so the stuff they didn't take, you just threw
it away.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
The stuff they didn't take. I took the good will okay, okay,
and so I'm like I almost set it outside the
front of the store to be honest, just to be
like free shit. Like if y'all like, don't go in
there and get this black panther fun Co pop get
it for free. Motherfucker said he didn't want to buy it, so.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Hey probably got forty five of the me and then
they might be.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Well, that's what I'm saying, so get a free one. Anyway.
So I ended up going, you know, going home or whatever,
and they're gonna call me and let me know. That
was Friday. So it gets to the to Tuesday today
and I realized they never called me, and he told
me the most it would take us a day. He
actually said they should get back to me that day,

(09:08):
but maybe it'll be Saturday. And I don't need the money.
I'm not pressed, but I'm like curious at this point, like,
you know, what's what happened? Right, Like it is this
part of the hustle. They just expect you to forget
since most people just throwing the shit out anyway. So
I go up there and I'm like, you know, what
if I needed the money, you know, I go up
there and the guy comes over and I'm like, hey,

(09:30):
I came in Friday and you told me it would
take a day, and now it's Tuesday and you never
hit me back. And he's like, well, that's probably because
it's not ready. I'm like, so did you lie Friday?
Because you said the most it would take us a day,
It's been five fucking days. It wasn't like I gave
you a container of shit. Like, it wasn't like a container.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Ship right over with a thousand items.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
It wasn't a back of a trailer from an eighteen wheeler.
So he's like, oh, wait, no, it's ddy or whatever.
And I'm thinking, onseff, like, of course it's fucking ready.
Why I wouldn't it be ready? Right, It's like we
did you say we could use it all, and I
can't remember everything was in there, but it was like,
you know, like I said, fun copops, a bunch of books,
all kinds of you know, stuff that hadn't even been

(10:15):
read or whatever. And I'm like, okay, cool, and he
goes twelve dollars and now the thing is any amount
I was going to say, okay, right, he could have
said one cent. He said, we don't even want it,
and I'll be like, fine, I didn't need the money.
It was more of a like wonder how this works.
And so he says twelve dollars or twenty two dollars

(10:37):
in store credit. So I'm like, give me the store credit.
Like right, everything's in here overpriced anyway, but still, you know,
store credit better than no credit. And so I went
ahead and got my stuff, and I looked around a
little bit. I didn't see anything I wanted to buy,
and I just would ahead and left. But man, when
I was leaving there, I was like, I see why

(10:57):
listening to the Clips album makes me want to say
O crack, because you this world is not fair. Everybody's broke.
Imagine if I needed that money and I sold my
precious possessions and this motherfucker game stopped me with twelve dollars?

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Did game stop you?

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Because? I mean, I know it's worth more than twelve dollars,
Meaning if I put all that stuff on eBay or
to or like had a yard seal, I'd make more
than twelve dollars off of it. Yes, but damn buddy
just was on some like, yeah, man, twelve dollars or
leave it, take it or leave it you know, basically,
I'm just like, okay, whatever, give me twenty two dollars.

(11:36):
But man, I like, thank god, I wasn't like desperate.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Oppressed for that.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
And the thing is they know that they're underselling it.
For you to turn around and one of those items,
you're gonna charge more than twelve dollars for it.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, So, and none of it was used.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
None of it was used.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Like if I have a fun copop, I don't, I don't.
I just leave it out of the like I leave
it in the box. Yeah, you don't touch but it's whatever.
I thought. I just thought it was interesting to see that.
And I'm sure the people a good will were more
too happy to take that stuff and keep it themselves.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Cheat that stuff might not even you give it.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Some of that stuff might not even made it out
to the public that the people like this is going
to my car.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
And lastly, one of our listeners a long time ago,
very thoughtfully brought brought us, mostly me, a smokeless indoor
grill because in our apartment complex, they don't allow grilling
outside on your patio like the one we used to
live in, and so we had to get rid of
our grill because it was like, you know, I don't want.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
No problems, right, and I missed that grill.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, and look I get it. I'm not trying to
burn anything down. And also like it was a propane girl,
I know, like grill guys get like, you know, I'm
not a grill guy.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
Meaning like I'm not precious about it.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, I don't look at someone's propane grill and start
thinking less of them or whatever. I know that's like
a big thing in that culture. So what I mean
is that it wasn't like a deal break or anything.
It was just more like a I don't want to
go to the shared community grill and get charcoal or
do whatever or whatever they do with their I like
to hours. I like to have my own grill and

(13:14):
so and then in our house, our smoke detectives are
very sensitive, like they're just extremely sensitive. They're insecure essentially,
and the first hand of smoke that's anything stronger than
just like an incense stick, it's going off. So grilling
was pretty much out out of the equation. But this person,

(13:38):
which it wasn't on our wish list for Amazon, which
is always in our show notes, they bought I didn't
even know it existed. They bought a smokeless indoor electric
grill for us and just gave it to us, and
so I've had it in the house over there. But
when I was decluttering stuff, I'm like, oh, yeah, that's right.
I was waiting until I can make space on the counter,

(13:59):
because you know, Karen likes to try to keep every
fucking thing in the house and hoard stuff even if
we never use it, just to have it in the house.
And I'm like, you can't want nice things and keep
all the old shit. It has to give. Yeah, either
some shit has to go or or we just don't

(14:20):
ever use our like other appliances and stuff. And so
I made that space and I'm like, okay, cool, I'll
get ready. And so I hooked up the grill today
and I grilled some boneless chicken thighs and man, it
turned out pretty well.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Like even really good. They was softened, tinded, they wouldn't dry.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah. I love chicken thighs because they just have a
lot of forgiveness in the in the cooking times they do.
But but but my main thing is they it grilled
them like it wasn't like no bullshit where like you
kind of it's like, oh, I see what it's. It's
like like if I had taken a hot pan and
just put the chicken thighs in there. It was not

(15:05):
that effect, Like it had the grill marks. It had
a little bit that charm on there. And I don't
know the signs behind it, but the way it works
is there's some type of water pan underneath that you
fill up first, then you start grilling, and something with
the water keeps the smoke from like rising. I'm sure
there's a scientific evan explanation. Sean, don't write in with it.

(15:28):
If I wanted to, if I was really curious, I
would have googled it. I don't. It's not like I care.
I only care that it worked, not how it worked.
But it was like it really did deliver. There was
no smoke. I didn't need to turn on the fan
above the stove or any of that stuff, and the
chicken thighs turned out great. So shout out to that

(15:49):
very thoughtful fan, because, like I said, it wasn't on
our list. It wasn't a thing we requested. It wasn't
a thing I even knew existed. And since I do
pretty much all the cooking in here. It was like, okay, cool,
so I can grill again. I went and bought some
Italian sausages I normally do. That was in the air fire.
But now I'm gonna see if I can do them
on the grill with my Bluetooth thermometer, all.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
The ones with the slow let's go.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, And it's like I want to I want to
put some grill marks on that bitch and see what
it looks.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
What to do? Yeah, And I was looking at I
was like, oh, snappers, I could do fish and shrimp.
I started to think about, like, you know, we get
like vegetables and stuff from your mama and your dad
and on them from their card. We probably can chop
them up and put it on it and grill them too,
seizon them up. I was like, oh, we can do
so much more with that.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, so bid, so bid. All right, let's get into
I guess I do politics that we get mad.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
I didn't know she was black until a number of
years ago when.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
She happened to turn black, and now she wants to
be known this.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Black people have got to know whether or not their
presidentship crook.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Well why not, cruk, I've learned everything I've got saying
in Tennessee. I know what she's fetched, probably tween Street,
but just brew me one. Shame, shame, shame, shame on you.
You can't get fool again. Tell you what I don't
know about you, but I'm going to go to bed

(17:14):
yep politics. If we get mad, judge reversus rule that
would have removed medical debt from credit reports. This is
something that was championed by Kamala Harris. Actually for all
the she never did nothing. People, What does a vice
president do? Well? I know what they undo, and that's

(17:37):
the stuff they tend to undo, stuff that's been done.
It was a Biden error finalized rule by the Consumer
Financial Protection bro which, uh I wonder if that's even
gonna be an entity that does anything under Trump because
I don't think they're going to try to protect consumers.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Oh no, they don't care anything about the consumers. It's
getting ready to be wild. For those of you that
haven't lived long enough, y'all, wasn't around when the number
one cause of debt was medical beers. Like if anybody
filed for bankruptcy, it was because of medical beers.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Like it was, what do you mean they haven't lived
long enough. Well, I feel like that was very recent.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
That wasn't our lifetime. And let me see, how was
that maybe twenty years ago now, like I mean now,
But it was worse before, like before they started putting
in the laws and the protections, it was even worse
than it is now because now.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
I guess here's what I'm trying to say. These laws
and protections that I'm talking about have only existed a
couple of years, So they're repelling laws that happened under
Joe Biden. So everyone who's hearing the sound of our
voice has lived under the medical debt issue. Like you'd
have to be like seventy eighty ninety to be like

(18:59):
this is when it was different, Like we the the
one or two years that we did have some protection
is what we experienced.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yeah, and and and I think, how can I phrase this?

Speaker 4 (19:11):
During my lifetime, because of universal Healthcare and Obamacare, more
people were were have been put into the healthcare system,
and because of that, everybody has benefited. So insurance rate
and then this is what I'm talking about. Let me
phrase this I'm phrasing is wrong. Insurance rate have gone
down and people that are have insurance through their employers.

(19:34):
I remember it was the time that every single goddamn year,
your rates on your policy went up.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
But Joe, but but what was covered didn't change.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
And then once they started passing all these laws, it
was like it's settled because you had more people in there,
more younger people who think they're invisible, and it made
everybody's rates go down, made everybody rates reasonable. But now
we're getting ready to go through a phase where everybody
rates are getting ready to go up because guess what,
unless they make a rule that the hospital will have

(20:01):
to look at you and let you die, they're gonna
take you in there. And when they take you in there,
and then you cannot pay because you don't have insurance
or you're under insured. Anybody that's on their personal health
care of their company health care, we pick up the
costs of that bill like like it is past everybody.
So anybody that has insurance, your race are gonna go
up and you're gonna get less coverage. So we're getting

(20:22):
ready to go through that process again. That's more of
what I meant.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
That's interesting because I think Obamacare and the Affordable Care
Act as of right now still stand like they haven't
repelled those, so I don't know if those are like, like,
I think I do see what you're saying. But to me,
that's more like insurance right stuff, So people will be

(20:46):
less insured under insured. I think that's definitely gonna Like,
I guess what I'm saying is that never really changed,
like having insurance through your job, not having insurance. What
it was always gonna fuck you if you didn't have insurance,
like you were fucked. What changed was medical debt going
to your credit report, which is what this added article

(21:07):
is about, right, this is about medical debt going on
your credit report. What changed is we had a couple
of years where it wasn't going to be like it
was like, hey, it's fine. Medical debt is different than
you went out and got a credit card and just
racked up a bunch of debt. So your medical debt
is not going to affect your credit because you had
a heart attack. That's not the same thing as being

(21:29):
irresponsible with money. Actually, now it's back, it is the same.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
Now it's bad.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, And I just think I'm trying to be specific
to the point of the article because I think you're
making a separate point, which is just about insurance and
the lack of which is related, meaning like if you
do not have insurance, which a lot of people are
going to be unemployed, a lot of people have less insurance.
Now a lot of people aren't gonna be able to
sign up for Obamacare. Like, I totally understand what you're saying.

(21:57):
It will lead even more people to be in medical debt. Yes,
the difference is the medical debt. Under Harris and Biden,
it wouldn't have counted against your credit. Now now you
are triple fucked like, oh you lost your job, you
don't have insurance, Oh you got sick, Oh alsow, your

(22:19):
credits fucked. Now that's this is i ibollical. It's right,
it's really fucking sad.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
And yeah, and it's fucked up because these are things
that are beyond your control.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
And the way our system here is here in America,
you got.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
To have insurance, like you have to have some form
of like coverage. And this is why they pushed to
make the race reasonable and to get as many people
in the system as possible, because you want your populace
healthy so that people can buy and sell, people can trade,
your economy gets better, Like you know, you keep your
local businesses at Bay, even the companies that you know,

(22:53):
they bullshit, but they want healthy employees too.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
They don't want people dropping dead.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
But you know, actually they don't care about you, but
they don't want you dropping dead either.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, And it's like I said, it's just it's really sketchy.
It's really sad because medical debt is the number one
cause of bankruptcy. It's the number one cause, I think,
and then debt debt is the number one cause of divorce. Yes,
it is so like it's just oh my god, it's
just people are gonna be so fucked. Yeah, and with

(23:22):
no real recourse to recover.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Nope.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
And all it's gonna happen is collection calls. Wouldn't be
surprised if Big Collection had them do this, because now
you know they're gonna be everybody can get collection calls.
Everybody's gonna you know, they're gonna push it. They're gonna
gonish your wages, you know, take your checks and all
this other bullshit. You know, take it out your bank
account to get that money by any means necessary.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
How are you supposed to survive?

Speaker 2 (23:46):
The removing medical debt from consumer credit reports was expected
to increase credit scores of millions of family by average
twenty points. Yeah. The CFPB states that is researching shown
outstanding healthcare claims to be a poor predictor of an
individual's ability to repay a loan. Yet they're often used
to deny mortgage applications so you can't get houses. Yeah.

(24:11):
They The three national credit reporter agencies, Experience, Equifax, and TransUnion,
announced last year that they would remove medical collections under
five hundred dollars from US consumer credit reports. The CFPB's
rule was projected to ban all outstanding medical bills from
appearing on credit reports, which tells you a lot because

(24:32):
those companies were so scared under like Biden and Harris,
they were like, oh, we'll remove anything under five hundred dollars.
First of all, how many people have a medical debt
that's under five hundred dollars. That's pretty much nobody, right,
But that's the kind of shit they do to be like, see,
we are fair. It's like, no, you're really not, but yes,

(24:54):
it's they said the rule would have estimated the rule
would have removed forty nine billion dollar is a medical
debt from credit reports of fifteen million Americans.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Yeah, it's a.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Lot of people that are impacted. A lot of these
people have jobs.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
One in five Americans has at least one medical debt
collection account on their credit report.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
That's a lot.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Over half of the collection entries on credit reports are
for medical debts, right.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Shit you can't control, and the some of the shit
you had to have, or they were just going to
be like, well, I guess.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
You die, and here's the kicker, And this is the
thing that you know makes me angry because people say, like,
what did Kamala Harris? What did Biden do for black people?
And I think it's always a disingenuous, unfair question that
is typically from a bad faith person or a person
who is ignorant and not informed but just wants to

(25:44):
think they're dropping a big joker on you, and they
won't accept your answers because it requires one extra step
of thinking of context. And the context is the fucking
kryptonite to these people or whatever. The problem disproportionately affects
people of color. Twenty eight percent of black and twenty
two percent of Latino people in the US carry medical

(26:05):
debt versus seventeen percent of white people. So this is
one of those rules where they can't say this law
is for black people only and Latino people only. They say,
here's an issue that is disproportionately affecting black and Latino people.
We're going to try to resolve this issue. And then
they're bad faith or ignorant, uninformed people who go, what

(26:29):
did they ever do for black people? And when you
tell them this, they go, well, they didn't say black,
And it's like, you fucking idiots. So yeah, Leticia James,
the Attorney General for New York, pushes band on ICE
agents wearing masks.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
Yes, yes, shirt, show your goddamn face, show your face,
show your face.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah. I mean it's I mean, it's so obvious what
the problem is with the wearing the mask thing. If
you're righteous and you're doing your job and it's a
public job, like you know, working for the government, why
do you have a mask on?

Speaker 4 (27:08):
Because I don't think some of them people are eating
work for the agency, right, right, and just.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Masked people grabbing people up off the streets, many times,
violating their civil rights, violating due process people, right, How
do I know any difference between you masked person and
the other masked person?

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Right?

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Like, some of them don't even be dressed right, like
in the right, in the right clothes. You can buy
an ICE jacket off a fucking eBay or Amazon and
shit like you can. Like this is very disturbing what's happening,
And I appreciate her saying that. She says deeply disturbing
that masked agents can pull people off the streets and
unmarked cars without ever identifying themselves as law enforcement. Congress

(27:49):
needs to act now to ensure that all law enforcement agencies,
including ICE, are held the basic standards of transparency, accountability,
and respect for civil rights. This is the same agency
that that just got the is the most got the
most funding of all the agencies under the Trump administration's
budget that they just passed. And you can't depend on

(28:11):
this Congress for shit because they're gonna vote along party line.
Yes they are, and even if one hundred percent of
the Democrats stands strong, it won't really matter because they
don't have the numbers because we didn't vote for them
right enough of us, Which is always kind of a
downer because I saw the other day, like a king
Jeffries did a filibuster type thing, and you know me,

(28:34):
I'm not a theatrics guy, and I don't say that dismissively.
I say that just as a statement of facts. Other
people don't think I'm trying to be dismissive.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Some people need that. I get it. I don't.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah, And I think it's good that, you know, like,
if people need If some people need that, then it's
good when a Democrat tries to meet them at that
what they need. The problem I always have is the
hypocritical goldpost moving. So Hakeem Jeffries does that. I believe
every Democrat stood strong against the budget, and then I
saw people clowning them, like, who iss a fucking pasted anyway,

(29:11):
y'all are the optics people. Y'all are the ones that say, fight,
do something. This is what they are left with doing, right, Symbolism,
that's it.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Symbolism gumming up the.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Work, power, gumming up the work, slowing it down just
a little bit. But that's all they got. They don't
have the power to do. This is not Star Wars.
This is not a video game. This is not the
good guys win just because that's what the script said, right,
You let the bad guys be in charge. Many of
you because of your cynicism and your your unwillingness to

(29:43):
have hope and unwillingness to be a real fighter, just
sitting around waiting for the liberal revolution to start. That's
never gonna fucking come. That shit erodes the power that
these people have. And then you go, well, look at
your powerless right they are, And we were the people
that may them that.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Yes we did.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Trump administration burns emergency food aid meant for starving kids.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah, they don't care about your kids starving.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
They were ordered. They have ordered the incineration of nearly
five hundred metric tons of emergency food, enough to feed
one point five million children for a week, rather than
allow it to reach hungry kids in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
According to a report by the Atlantic.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
So they burned how much? That's a lot of metric tons.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
That sound like a lot, According to the current and
former US government employees, the high energy biscuits were prepared
were purchased by USA near the end of President Biden's turn,
costing about eight hundred thousand dollars. The New Trent pack
rations were designed to help Malnore's children under the under
five in areas hit hard by war and disaster. These biscuits,

(30:49):
which can be critical lifeline when kitchen and infrastructure are destroyed.
Were stored in a warehouse in Dubai and prep for
shipment this year. Instead, they were set to expire and
within weeks they'll be burned to ash. Yeah. This is
not a government that is interested in, you know, helping people.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yeah, it's own people and nobody else.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah. The worst thing you can do is need help
right now, even your own people. Yeah, they don't give
a fuck speaking of your own people. Well, I guess
I had this. I'm must have had this in broke News.
But I'll put this matter of fact. This can all
go and politicians will get mad, matter of fact. So
let me move this back into a different folder, because

(31:31):
now I'm looking at them like, yeah, I'm like, it's
kind of the same shit. So let me go back
to that folder again and go to these articles. US
farms are going broke fast.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
You're talking about like your regular farmers, right, farmers.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
The US farms are going broke fast?

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Three months of twenty twenty five, the first three months. Okay,
we're seven month cent So whatever the numbers are about
to tell you, they're probably much much worse now. Right.
First three months, two hundred and fifty nine farms across
the US file for Chapter twelve bankruptcy, more than the
total foul in all of twenty twenty four under Biden.

(32:13):
That makes it the highest quarterly number since twenty twenty one.
According to a new data from the University of Arkansas
System Division of Agriculture, the numbers reflect deepening financial pressure.
Ryan Lloyd and extension economists with the university, noted that
we're seeing the same red flags that showed up before
the farming crisis of twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Yeah, and about not trying to be funny, and I
don't think it's an underestimate. Probably about ninety five ninety
six percent of these farmers voted, particularly the white farmers,
voted for Trump. And so it's one of those things
where you know, it's a small percentage of farmers that
once Trump got in the office, particularly the second time,

(32:56):
and they started seeing shit go up there.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
But hey, something ain't right here.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
But you voted for Trump, but you didn't think the
ship was gonna impact you. You thought it was gonna
impact them black and brown and them other farmers.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
But the thing is you're.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
A part of agriculture, and offic is gonna happen that
you're gonna file for bankruptcy. Then one of these big
farmer places gonna come and buy you, buy your farm
up for pennies on the dollar, or just buy your
debt up, and then now generations work for farming gets
gone because we need local farmers, like local farmers are
very important to how this country functions.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Well, that's also because you're assuming that they're all small
local farmers. We don't like. Some of these are big
ass businesses. I bet they're filing for Chapter twelve bankruptcy,
which allows them the restructure and pay and try to
repay debts instead of liquidating everything out of Chapter seven.
But it's just a bad sign for the economy. The

(33:47):
root of the crisis is falling commodity prices and stubbornly
hot input costs like seed, fertilizer, fuel, and pass management products,
which are still expensive. Farmers are spending more to grow
less valuable crops. And this is only the first quarter
of the first quarter numbers, which doesn't sound good for

(34:08):
all of the rest of the year.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
And I wonder you know, and probably don't I wonder
even though you didn't talk about it. I wonder how
much these ice rays have impacted them, how much stuff
they've had to throw away because nobody was at a picket,
nobody was at a pluck it nobody.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
So it's like they got shit sitting just spoiling that
they can't sell.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Yeah, and then just the labor costs of if you
try to go hire Americans to do the jobs that
you weren't paying people much money to do, you're probably
not gonna be able to afford many Americans that will
be willing to do that work.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
Not that, not for that Harden. And it's one of
the things where most Americans don't pay no attention. But
eventually these things will impact our food costs. These things
will impact how much food we have on the shelves.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
Like it's not an instant thing.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
It doesn't happen tomorrow, but eventually, you know, people complaining
now is to get bad.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
In the words of Andrew Scholz, I didn't vote for this.
US inflation accelerated in June as Trump's tearor start to
bite no shit. Consumer prices rolled two point seven percent
in June from a year earlier, the Labor Department said Tuesday,
up from an annual increase of two point four percent
in May. On a monthly basis, prices climbed point three

(35:21):
percent from May to June, at the rising just point
oh one percent the previous month, worse than an inflation
posed a political challenge to Donald Trump. Blah blah blah
does it? And I really sincerely mean that does the
economy being bad actually pose any challenge to Trump? Not
just because of the cognitive dissonance of his loyal supporters,
but also he's in the office. He don't give a

(35:44):
fuck about the approval rating. He doesn't care about his
voters or any of us. Nope. Like, so this idea
of like, well, how's he like? They keep writing articles
that are like, how's he gonna get out of this one?
And I'm like, he doesn't have to because he's in
the White House. What else are y'all gonna do? Right?

Speaker 4 (36:00):
He got the power and that's all he wanted. He
knew was he had the power. It didn't matter what
he did, said or said.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yeah, he's immune to you liking or not liking him.
He doesn't give a fuck. Ice subpoenas landlords for tenant
info without judges approval. Right, US immigration authorities are ramping
up pressure on landlords to hand over private tenant information,

(36:26):
including leases, applications, ID cars, and even the names of roommates,
with subpoenas that aren't signed by judges. What yep. The
so called information enforcement subpoenas have been issued by US
Citizenship and Immigration Services Anti fraud Unit, and at least
some are tied to recent changes under Trump administration renewed

(36:48):
pushed for mass deportations. The documents are not signed by judge,
which raises serious legal questions for landlords on whether they're
even required to comply. Right, this is the same tact
that they had with the city. This is the thing
everyone was talking about, those those dose But this is
just what this administration does. They move before the there's
any legal power or any precedent, and they just let

(37:12):
you go to court and then later maybe a judge
or two will reverse and it not reverse, the reverse,
and then go to Supreme Court where ultimately they will
probably be affirmed no matter what the fuck they are.
This is the h I'll get to it in the
next article and then we'll wrap up. But this matter
of fact, I'll just say it. The next article, Supreme

(37:33):
Court backs Trump's fourteen hundred Education Department employee like layoff right,
I've seen that, right.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
And the biggest thing about that the system.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
The system has problems regardless, but y'all we about to
have some dumb ass children because there's nobody there's nobody's
just going to be able to really regulate shit and
have structures for the schools systems and all that stuff.
Like it is getting ready to be fucking insane when
you do shit like this.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
So I want to point that out for a reason.
This is the same Supreme Court that's now saying you
can lay off fourteen hundred Education Department employees, unprecedented move,
basically destroying the Department of Education. They said Joe Biden
didn't have the power to forgive student loans, right, and

(38:33):
he tried several different ways, and the Supreme Court was like,
you don't have the power to do that. The president
is not that powerful. And there are people that blame
Joe Biden for that. And if you can't see that,
these motherfuckers are on the take like these like it's

(38:55):
like watching an NBA game or NFL game and you're
actually watching the ref just cheat and you're like, why
isn't my team winning the game, And it's like do
you not see that the ref just tripped the player?
Like on the court, do you not see the ref
just called a walk when the guy hadn't even moved yet.
That is what's happening. And then they going like they

(39:17):
act like it's not a big deal and the Supreme
Court is our fault as American yoters. Yes it is. That.
You can try to blame Ruthgadegainsburg, you can try to
blame Obama, you can try to blame Hillary Clinton. None
of those people are responsible for what the fuck we
saw happening, and let happen, right, especially when you say, like, well,
look what happened. They blocked a judge under Obama and

(39:37):
then Trump got to pick the next judge, which meant
we went through an election cycle for Hillary Clinton where
a judge seat was open, and y'all still voted for
Trump or didn't vote or whatever. That's what happened. So
how is that on them? That's literally on us. We
knew that there's actually no better motivation in stakes than

(39:57):
this judge ship is open and y'all to do the
right thing. And you were like, I don't know if
I can vote for her, earn this voter, lose, earn
this voter else. Yeah, it's so it's crazy to watch
people have no responsibility. Like we talk about Trump having
no responsibility, the American average voter, the electorate in general,

(40:19):
tends to try to have no responsibility themselves. They just
think this is a thing that is happening to us,
that the politicians are.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
Doing, and they have no control over it, and we don't.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
Know how it happens. We just taking up every morning,
like what the fuck is going on?

Speaker 3 (40:32):
Right?

Speaker 4 (40:32):
So now I assisted in consistent rage and shit like Dan,
I'm like, bitch, is your fault?

Speaker 3 (40:38):
What are you fuck you talking about?

Speaker 2 (40:40):
Right? So, now you got ice people petition like sending
things that look like legal demands that aren't signed by
judges to landlords, like give us the motherfucking everybody information
that live in your apartment complex. How many landlords are
gonna comply? Because I think a lot I.

Speaker 4 (41:01):
Don't want the problem, right, Yeah, they don't want the problem.
Shit like that, And if they get sued by their tenants,
oh well be it. If they have to pay, Oh,
well be it, you know, like like they would rather
take the L from the tenant than take the L
from the government, if that makes sense. Yes, most will
because most don't know what them documentations look like. I'm
just keep that real and somebody with a badge and

(41:21):
the name and and and whatever come it come busting
busting in your dough waving folk. You gonna hand over
them motherfucking papers most of the time.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
Right, And what I think so many people don't understand.
And maybe I'm They probably think I'm cynical, But I
don't think I'm being cynical. I think I'm just being real.
And I think if you search your heart, you'll see
that I'm not trying to be e or I'm just

(41:52):
being honest. When you let people like this be in charge,
most people are not heroes.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
Right, and they rule followers.

Speaker 4 (42:03):
I don't not know what about that people don't understand,
and and and not to get off topic and not
to go on that tangent. This is why I call
bullshit on democrats and liberals and independence and stuff.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
Talk about a revolution. Bit you don't even own a gun.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
Talking about a revolution, bitch, you won't even in the
fight talking about a revolution, but you won't take your
ass out down the street. You won't wish your wife,
So don't tell me about anything. What you're gonna do
is say yes to master. Whatever you say, follow them
rules and shits go.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Stay fuck up.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
This is why you do the easy part with this
motherfucking vote, so you don't have to do.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
The hard part. Yeah, everyone just thinks like it's like
a movie or something, and they're gonna get to like
they're gonna make examples of the people who stand up.
So like there'll be some landlord companies or whatever that go. Man,
fuck y'all. We not like I don't know who it'll be,
or it'll be an individual person. They won't make an
example of them. They'll be in court, they'll be arrested.

(42:55):
They'll because the speed of law is much slower than
the speed of the fascism. So like by the time
the courts catch up, if they catch up, you've been
in jail for five six months, you know, Like Buddy,
they just let out that was protesting at that college. Like, yeah,
he got out, but he lost four or five months
of his life, and yeah he's suing for twenty million

(43:17):
dollars with the money, what is the money? Like, doesn't
that man? I think it's girl. His wife was pregnant.
His girlfriend was pregnant, Like, you lost that time, all
that stress on her and the baby and you and
you and all the supporters and people are protesting and
all this shit and everybody. At the end of the day,
all that stuff is wasted time that you'll never get back.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
And that's the whole point.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
And the only thing you really could hope to get
out of it is some semblance up back to normal.
You're not even getting progress. You're now fighting for stuff
that you had the right to do under Biden, and
you would have had the right to do or to
Kamo Harris, you would have had to write the protest,
You had to write to voice your descent. You had
to right to say, even if I thought it was unfair,

(44:01):
your characterization of those people is your inalienable First Amendment right,
not only the Trump. They can just go go to jail,
go to get deported, get the fuck out the country.
Well I didn't do anything. Yeah, Well whatever, We're just
gonna keep going till we find one of our judges
to back up what we're saying. And if and if
we do lose in the end, it'll be six months later.

(44:21):
So just give up six months of your life in
some shitty ass uh prison or jail or housing detention center.
Just give up that part of your life for something
you weren't doing illegal in the first place.

Speaker 4 (44:35):
Right, And all they're gonna do is be an example
and the rest of them not time. I'm keeping it ready,
the rest of the motherfuckers, the revolution. Every nigga's gonna
be like, oh, I want that to be me. And
guess what you're gonna do?

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Follow the rules.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
Yep, all right, that's enough for that. Let's try to
get into another segment. See do something a little lighter.
I'll see if I can find so who knews? All right,

(45:15):
who news? Let's see what is going on. I only
got a couple of articles, but because like I said,
I have to start over. Uh. Little Woody has been
arrested again, accused of running a legal street racing gang,
pushing up violence in Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
Karen again, who is this a rapper?

Speaker 4 (45:38):
Everybody named the little baby la Wayne, little Butch, little kid.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
Everybody named little normally is.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
Man? Who is little Woodie? You know?

Speaker 3 (45:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
I don't even know what little Woody does. It's not
even saying in the description of the article what little
Woody does. Matter of fact, let me google little Woodie. See,
I wonder if he got a wiki page.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
Probably do.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
Uh little Woody Burgers. That's definitely not him. Uh uh,
let's see there's Oh, I guess he's a rapper. He's
an American rapper, born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
So you got it right, that makes sense.

Speaker 4 (46:21):
Yeah, when you put living front they names it's normally rapper.
It's little l I l oh little not even lookto Yeah,
little wood Little.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Little Woody was arrested again, this time accus of leading
a violence street racing crew after being caught up in
the ysl RICO mess. Little wood have got popped again
in Atlanta this week, this time for allegedly running in
the legal street racing crew that cops says tied the
rising violence in the city. Is this some fast in
furious shit? Why is the violence part of the racing?

Speaker 4 (46:48):
Right?

Speaker 3 (46:49):
I thought we were just racing the quarter mile at
the time. This changed.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Yeah, if you want violence, getting the wreck, don't hurt people. Please,
don't hurt people. Fast sat Woody was already on the
radar at the similar bus last month, but now they're
hitting him with heavier charges. Authorities claim he's not just
racing cars, but leading the criminal operation that's been stirring
up chaos in the streets. Are they the ones that
robbed Beyonce? M I heard they broke in one of

(47:14):
the cars of the Beyonce people and stole some unreleased
songs and ship in Atlanta this weekend? God damn, yeah,
because I think she did like three shows down there,
so maybe it was a little Woody. What was he?
What was his? Whereabouts? Woody's crew has been organizing late
night races that doubles meetups for a legal activity, including
shootings and robberies. Okay, is this whatst side story? What

(47:36):
do you mean meetups? Who's meeting up for shootings?

Speaker 4 (47:40):
And who's timing this ship? Meet me downtown at the
Doc ad eight? Oh my bad, my bad. Not the Doc,
not the dock, not the pier at the pier, Yeah,
the pier on race the Doc is your wrong spot.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Nah, but it's just like, what is going on? Don't
be late for your robbery. The latest arrest comes barely
a month after Woody got cut for similar street right
and charges. His legal troubles were stacking up fast, and
this isn't even the first time in the spotlight. He
was a key witness in the massive wiself Rico case
that had young Thug and Gunna fight for their freedom,
but instead of helping the case, Woodi's wild testimony and

(48:13):
admitted lies made things worse for prosecutors. During the trial.
Wood He admitted the line under oath and flipping his
story multiple times that Chaose helped derailed the case, which
ended in twenty twenty five. Oh so that's how they
got off, Okay, I always wondered how they got off.
I didn't follow that case.

Speaker 3 (48:28):
I was not a second of it.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
I know a lot of people were really into it,
and that's their prerogative.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
I just like, I don't care.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
I'm gonna save my brain cells for some shit I
care about it.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
I ain't that the truth.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
But you know, good luck or whatever, good luck to
you all. Top five reportedly fighting for his life.

Speaker 4 (48:49):
Probably a rapper, but I was gonna say R and
B single, but I know that's wrong.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
Probably a rapper that calls himself top five.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Uh so Top five is Hassan Ali is his name.
He's he's basically like Drake's friend, Okay, like I like.
I guess he's a rapper, but he mostly is known
for being Drake's homie.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
Drake shouts him out a lot, okay, and I'm still
like who.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Top five, Drake's buddy is reported in the hospital fighting
for his life after a brutal stabbing incident in London.
Oh yeah, because they be having knives over there. What
should have been a victorious UK run for the OVO
Squad has taken a dramatic dangerous term. This is turn
This is the reported footage that led to the attack,
and they have the post on Instagram. But I don't

(49:43):
want to watch him get stabbed. If you're no Top five,
you know he's not one of the mince words. He
built a name in the streets and I'm sorry. I'm
sure he's very tough. It's just anytime someone brings up
Canada and Toronto in the streets, I'm always like, Okay.
He built a name in the streets and social media
for his neck energy, but now that same energy might
have made him a target. While abroad, reports first surface

(50:05):
via social media that Top five had been assaulted and
stabbed in the UK. Now they are saying that he
may be in a fight for his life. What could
have sparked this? I know he talks a lot, but
I do not think it warrants this. Even DJ academics said,
pray for peace like he was in the nation, the
Christianity or something. We cannot instigate beef and then pray
for peace when you may. Our man gets poked. Okay,

(50:28):
this is a pretty editorial. Yeah, there's a lot of
editorializing in this article. Meanwhile, Rattling, a UK rapper known
for mixtapes like Summertime in Mexico and Youngest in Charge.
He hopped in the comment section of a post about
Top five getting stabbed and said police boy about call

(50:50):
ninety one. Of course, he followed that up with laughing emojish.
So man, you got the bridge talking shit to you.
This is just after Drake praised the British rappers and
was telling them they better than American rappers. And you know,
in his bid to try to piss off more black
people and prove that he's not like us, like us,

(51:12):
he's like, y'all the real inspiration, y'all the best at rapping.
I always wanted to be like y'all, like y'all believe
that shit if y'all want to, you know, I don't
even think there's a history of bad blah blah blah blah. Okay,
so this is just a lot of editorializing. But yeah,
Top five got stabbed, man, you hate to see it.

Speaker 3 (51:30):
What a name?

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Top five? Right right? And then getting like, like I said,
I know it's ignorant, but I feel like I would
be the kind of person to get stabbed by British
people because I will completely be disrespecting them because they
will be saying dangerous British shit to me in that

(51:53):
that language. I would know, and I would be like,
I don't I don't even know.

Speaker 3 (51:58):
I wouldn't have no idea.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
What do you mean you know I'm over there, like,
uh so you're gonna you're gonna chop my liver? Is
what does what does that mean? Like, what do you
mean you're gonna rough them up? Like like, well, I
don't know, putting Barbie stap stap stab Like oh, you're

(52:22):
you're trying, you're coffing me plunk or whatever. I'm like,
I don't even know what this means I'm really chucking
your high or I don't know what the hobbits say.
All right, let's do a little bit of gender wars. Uh,
there we go.

Speaker 5 (52:38):
We're going to wars on outside wars A war went
on outside?

Speaker 2 (52:52):
All right, gender wars. You know what we do. We
go around the globe, we find some people arguing about
some boys shit, and then we uh, you know, we
like to rate the content, you know, because we're not
gonna participate. We're not gonna be like, this person was right,
this person was wrong. We don't do that. What we
do like to do is go, U, was this on

(53:15):
some bullshit or not?

Speaker 4 (53:16):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (53:16):
Today's contestants come from Twitter and let me see if
I can pull it up on my screen so we
can watch it as a family. There we go. All right,
it says this dude's wife chose a Beyonce concert over
his kids heart surgery. It has twenty three point six

(53:37):
million views. Now this post is from twenty twenty three. Okay,
uh so this must have been during the Renaissance, so yeah,
this had to be Keep in mind, it's not the
newest Beyonce, it's the old and I think Renaissance had
people making some decisions decisions.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
Yes, it did.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
Let's see if this rings true.

Speaker 7 (54:00):
Hey, you know that you stole money out of my account.
That was money for my kid heart surgery.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Why did you recording me right now?

Speaker 7 (54:10):
Like, don't worry about while I'm recording you, I don't
worry about what my money is.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
Like, I begged you to take me to that concert.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
Why would you.

Speaker 7 (54:20):
Take me to the concert because the concert is the
least of my worries. My kid heart surgery is what
I'm worried about right now. And for you to take
my money out of my account, you lost your mind.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
I don't care.

Speaker 7 (54:35):
I don't care what you don't care about.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
Baby mom. She ain't got nothing to deal with it.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
I'm gonna deal with it.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
To go find me, okay, all right, So let me
start with you know the things that I think they
did well. I think it was smart to blur the
face out, even though it was not well done. You
can see your face at times, but it was because
that makes it feel real, Like I don't want this,

(55:03):
I don't really this is a real person that and
if and if the internet sees her and all that,
I could like this will have real effects in my life.
Now you know, the acting isn't necessarily the best. I
actually think the dialogue is good because when people argue
it's not perfect, I agree it sound like that, like

(55:26):
you know, if like if Karen just started yelling at
me out of nowhere, it's not going to just sound
like a perfect script, So that part feels more real.
I love that she does acknowledge she was being filmed.
I love that it has an abrupt ending, like there's
not a real resolution.

Speaker 3 (55:48):
And I like.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
His energy when he first came in, his energy he
was very upset, yes, And her image is very nonchalant, yeah,
which which, like I said, sometimes it's like you want
to match energy, but sometimes you don't, right, And I
think this is a good job of not matching it.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
Like it wouldn't have worked if she was yelling. It's
more works if she's less like unbothered, like I don't
care that your child gonna die. I'm going to see Beyonce.
And then I like that she brought the baby mama,
because that was a question in my head, was like, oh,
so is the baby mama and not in the picture
she not paying because I'm like, is she the baby mama?
Then it's like, oh, she's not even the baby mama. Okay, cool,

(56:26):
all right, those are the positives. I don't believe this
scenario at all.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
Don't it sound over the top, like not even like
a little bit?

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Do I believe somebody knows a child needs heart surgery
and takes money out of their the father of that
child's account, and it's unbothered because they want to go.
I like, maybe it's true, but I feel like we
be about a murder and not a watching a video,

(57:04):
Like like, I think they fucked up by making the
stakes too high. I feel like if he would have said,
my child's bracest or for a bill, a bill, Yeah,
a bill would work too. Yeah, But I thought, if
you want to include the child, and the stakes need
to be much lower if it's a child, like my
kid was supposed to you know, my kid was supposed

(57:26):
to go to a basketball camp.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
Like, it can't be something serious.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
They were gonna fucking die, right.

Speaker 4 (57:32):
And it's also one of those things where when I mean,
and I'm talking about like maybe like a card payment
because you go down my car, right, but they don't have.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
What I'm saying is if you're right, and I agree,
what I'm saying is, if you wanted to include the kid,
I think the kid is the kid is actually really
a stroke of genius because it makes the it doesn't
it makes the It makes it look like you're so selfish,
whereas as opposed to like, you know, even like a

(58:00):
car bill, where you can argue like, well, haha, they're together,
it's their money or whatever, but when it's a kid,
it's like, no, you can't. Nobody wants to. We just
talked about burning food for starving kids. No one's on
that side. So I think he fucked up with the
Oh they fucked up when they came over the scenario
and elevated it to like child heart surgery. Where's the GoFundMe?

(58:25):
You know, where's the Channel five news out there? For
this man tried to murder his girlfriend to get his
money back. Because there's no way. You're just gonna all
you're gonna do is be like, that's fucked up. Let
me record it. There's no way in my opinion, but
I could be wrong. I've never been with somebody that
did something like that. Same anyway, zero to ten, what
would you ready, kar I.

Speaker 4 (58:45):
Would get this probably about a four, like I said,
they do have some positive qualities, not a lot, you know,
when you look at other ones that have much much better.
You know, because I do understand what you're saying. Yes,
it does appears spontaneous. It does appear like, you know,
like unedited, like type of thing.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
They thought they did think about it, like, it's not
as bad as many that we've seen that Immediately you're like,
this is so fucking fake. If he had not made
it about some heart surgery, I really think this one
might have worked on a lot of people. But in
the chat room, I mean the chat room and the
replies I'm seeing, Uh, every child deserves a parent, but

(59:31):
now your parents deserves a child. Okay, I don't even
know what that means got him. He handled that a
lot better than he should have. The A lot of
these are just people trying to go viral under it.

Speaker 4 (59:44):
Yes, and and and and and and the way it
was and the way it presented and reading reading those comments,
the people in the comments.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
Were more on his side.

Speaker 2 (59:55):
It wasn't like it's right, and the fact that she
feels like she didn't do anything wrong sickening right.

Speaker 4 (01:00:01):
So you don't have no she she is right for
going to the Bence concert and all that type of stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Kind of kind of yeah, countermanning.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
That people do believe it in the chat in the
replies though they're not calming in fake That man need
to divorce her straight up? Be careful, dad? Can he
call the police on her for theft? Oh? Why do
I feel like this is stage Okay, shout out to
that person, because I feel like it's stage two. The
Beyonce stans need to be put six feet under if
this is his kid and not her kid, no excuse,

(01:00:32):
but she's not the mama. You added nothing, a jury
would look the other way. Bro, Just saying, yeah, no
one's on her side. Really, so yeah, how good can
it be if no one's on her side?

Speaker 4 (01:00:45):
I said three or four, you're not gonna get that
high school for me?

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
Not I give it too. I'm gonna give it too.
It just nice try, you know, good effort. You were
really close. But I really think think the heart curtain
thing is so bad. Yes, it's just so bad.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
That it looks so heartless.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Who the fuck? Yeah, it's so bad that there's no
fifty to fifty, there's no it's either a lie or
she's just a horrible person. It's not you gotta give
us more, you know, Let's do one more gender war.
This is also from Twitter, another old one. Here we go.
The caption says thoughts, Okay, that's a classic thirty million

(01:01:34):
views from March fourth of twenty twenty four, so over
year old. And it says I gave birth two days
ago and he expects this. Okay, here we go and
paden hold on cans alarm is going off. Guys, can
you late for something? No, I'm sorry, okay, guys, very professional.

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
You want me to do a roast? Can I just
remind you of something?

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
And I gave birth two days ago?

Speaker 7 (01:02:03):
Yeah, two days ago, and he came out just so
straight away.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
You've been sitting around not this time.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
So if you make a rock to send me home
to get rest at home?

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
Yeah, but you've been doing nothing but rest. Look at
this and say, okay, I do like that. It's not
Americans and it don't appear to be blacks. Now. That
may hurt the that may hurt or help the genders.
I don't know. I know black people are very heavy
on the internet in gender wars. I have not had
a peek in the white gender war.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
As much I haven't, but it ain't the same.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
I saw a man versus bear, you know, would rather
everybody white people was in white white. The white people
made that one blow the fuck up, Yes they did, so,
like maybe this one would blow up because of that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
Well, I'm sorry that.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
I need caffeine to keep going with a new born baby.

Speaker 3 (01:02:54):
And it's not easy for me either.

Speaker 7 (01:02:56):
Right, I didn't give birth, noble, I'm not sleeping like you,
so I'm not good.

Speaker 4 (01:03:00):
You're awake.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
So we moved down and coming, and you know that
I always want a rose.

Speaker 7 (01:03:04):
They always want a role, not just given birth two
days before she can get up and make it yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Look, you do it than we know that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:13):
I've tried you, gus.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
You're always sulate.

Speaker 7 (01:03:20):
Means making a roasby and woman da because you can't
be asked.

Speaker 3 (01:03:22):
Well, do you know what I've just cooked to them?
Last time was your kids. I'll sit with them with
the baby, talks them.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
You got a couple with.

Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
The baby man and stood slavery over a hot stoke.
It doesn't work like that, baby, So you say it's
easy again. Yeah, So if that's the case, and what's the.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
Problem, Okay, okay, hm hmm. So once again things they
did good. She didn't put his face on camera, which
makes me believe that might really be her husband, so
too uh. And the way she recorded did seem surreptitious,
meaning like he wouldn't have asked like, why are you
recording me? Because she didn't seem that. It seemed like

(01:03:59):
she was recording without his knowledge, which makes it feel real. Yes,
the scenario is ridiculous, but men are ridiculous, Yes they are, so, Like,
I don't like, I can't say that this is fake
and maybe it's the British politeness, but I can believe
that that's how they fight and not necessarily like is

(01:04:23):
it Like I'm like, I don't think like, oh, it's
just such a scripted thing. Now, there were a few
edits in there quickly, but I don't it felt like
that could be really how they fight. So like, I'm
not gonna knock them for energy that might be ten
out of ten British energy.

Speaker 4 (01:04:38):
I don't know, right, because it's different and we're out
of that culture. And I do like the fact that
it was a consistent back and forth. I do like
the fact that she used the word gas lighting. You know,
type of thing to kind of make it more personable,
you know, condect that kind of back and forth.

Speaker 3 (01:04:57):
And you know, I do like the fact that I
could I.

Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
Don't know how bobus went, but I could see like
people going, well, yeah, she just gave birth, why would
you ask her to do something like that? And then
I could see people going, well, his mom and dad
is coming.

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. But and not
really funny.

Speaker 4 (01:05:17):
And maybe because it's the accents that for some people
they're gonna be like, does it are they even arguing?

Speaker 3 (01:05:24):
They really are arguing. You know, I know what the
argument sounds like.

Speaker 4 (01:05:27):
But for some people, unless it's like aggressive or something
like that, they.

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
Would dismiss her. Thirty million views, We're not even arguing.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Thirty million views, seven thousand replies. So I feel like
people something by it. You know, some people are joking,
but a lot of people are serious and replies. This
is why women need standards. She did not have standards
when she dated this guy. She asked it, so it's
her fault. Somehow. People are crazy, man, they are. He

(01:06:00):
was just confused. They said rest. He thought they said roast.

Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
That's a good one.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
Uh, based on the video, he does not deserve a
wife and family. So it does feel like people kind
of bought it, you know, and a lot of people
are now once again. The only thing I will knock
is there's other than that one asshole who was like,
why did you marry him? There's no one that thinks
he's right. Even the person's like why did you marry him?

(01:06:28):
Is essentially saying he's wrong. So, you know, I'm gonna
give this one a seven.

Speaker 4 (01:06:34):
I think it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
You know, it went pretty viral, it was very relatable.
They argue differently over there, so I'm not gonna knock
them for that, and uh, yeah, I'm gonna give it
a seven. I think this is actually pretty good. But
even if if it's fake, it's good enough fake that

(01:06:56):
I'm like, I would believe that this is possible. Yeah, yeah,
I believe it.

Speaker 4 (01:07:01):
Yeah, you know what, I I yeah about a six
or seven. I agree with that. It's much better than
the first one.

Speaker 2 (01:07:07):
Yeah, it's it's.

Speaker 4 (01:07:08):
A quote unquote authentic like the first one, but it
almost kind of took it to another level per se.
And I appreciate them, like you said, and the steaks
were different if that makes the stakes with a pot ros,
I'm not trying to be funny, and you know whether
or not he's a good parent, right versus the other one.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
My baby about to die.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
Right right, So yeah, and shout out to the people
that are still find a way to blame her, because
I feel like that adds to the score for me.
That's how it gets to a seven is because there's
people in the in the in the comments that are like, hey,
you married them, and I'm like, whoa, that's that's that's
not helpful. That's how you make it even works. All right,
Let's get to the last thing, sore ratchetess, because we

(01:07:51):
gotta wrap it up. Karen's got something to do. Look
out for Rhys Waters YouTube show because Karen's gonna be
on it hopefully about time you guys hear this.

Speaker 6 (01:08:01):
