Speaker 2 (02:39):
Would it be five star reviews or would it be

Speaker 3 (02:49):
You guys came through this week, y'all.

Speaker 5 (02:52):

(03:40):
more bearable. And everyone not hearing a commercial for the
Mississippi Aquarium or ad for a local Republican candidate right now,
you're welcome.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Thank you, because We can't control that, y'all.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, I don't know how to control it.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
It's above me, no, because sometimes they be like changing
their names and shit and they don't know they like.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Well, it's literally above me, like it's through iHeart Radio
and Inflection Network. So I don't know how. I truly, truly,
truly don't know how it works over here. But whatever
I say, if you don't want commercials, write them fucking reviews.
Y'all did that great show from definitely a toddler? Okay,
very smart toddler got an account to Apple, know how to.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Sign the type.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Thanks for the Thanks for giving the world your gift
of conversation and perspective. Thank you you and entertaining informative experience.
As MK doom oh Man recipes to MF them, I
think it was four years the antirection of.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
His death yesterday.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
As a person comfortably asconched in a semi solitary nerd bubble,
this show has helped me wide to my horizons and
expand my cultural vernacular. I would recommend to anyone interested
in race, pop culture, or laughter. Thank you for the
many hours of silent grands, random chuckles, and outburst of dr.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Karis that get me started. They get me stared at
while doing my round. That word I.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Regret nothing, ask me with the Jakaris always five stars
from j Boy eight two six, who says I had
to make sure i came to love a five star
review because I'm not a hater.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Thank you. Shout out to Bomani.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, if you leave for your hater, shout out to
Rydan and Karen kan't wait for the next live show.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yes, thank you, and we appreciate y'all. And that was beautiful.
It was much better than commercials.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah it was.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
I will Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Don't care if it costs money out of my pocket. Okay,
I'm okay with this. This is this is the kind
of money I'm willing to lose. All right, let's get
right into these episodes.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
There.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Since y'all so.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Grace grace graciously, since y'all so graciously left us.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
These reviews, we can go ahead and get into it.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
The first episode of the week was episode three one
seven five Convincing your Mate to Go Premium. We got
three comments on this feedback episode. Apia left the first two.
The uneducated comment exactly right, when you look at people
like in the Donald Trump administration. Many also come from
elite universities, especially those who are at the top. Universities

(06:08):
are often spaces where progressive ideas rise, but not.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Everyone there participates.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Many students just go to class and work on their education.
The conservative Supreme Court judges, for example, are obviously educated
in this way. And I don't see a movement on
the right to let high school dropouts on the end
on it. Yeah, yeah, exactly, Like that's that's why it's
just rhetoric when they say stuff about not like in education,
not like in colleges. They don't really put a lot

(06:34):
of people in charge that are just like this guy's
a high school dropout and he's running blank.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
I'm not saying they wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
I'm not even saying they, you know, but even they
don't go that far, which is very funny.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Ain't it. Though. They were like, shit, you gotta have
some level of education.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Yeah, so fine, be a dumbit, but but but at
least you got a degree.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
They covet the elitness of the universities, even when it
really does work for them in the way that they
claim it works for the action people. They go there
as legacy people. They go there and get barely scraped by.
They're not excellent in anyway, but they like having the
prestige of I went to blank College on their resume.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
That's why we had that college scandal a few years
back in like some high profile celebrities and stuff end
up getting in trouble because they was like.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
And one of them her daughter was like, bitch, I
don't care.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
Her mama actually just went down with the ship because
she was like, I'm gonna get you this degree and
some shit that the baby didn't.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Even care about.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Not even RFK Jr. Is uneducated, just not educated in
the medical field. So I think they reject the progressive
ideas of respecting education at a college, even if they
don't talk so loudly about it to be able to
upheld the uneducated people more. Thank you for the tip
with looking real estate up in real life.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
You are right.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
We should be closer to each other, not always online.
Put down the devices. I would start walking through my
city and ring the bell of weird houses and demand
to get in. I would walk through all the rooms
to touch everything. When the house is weird enough, I
would give them a thumbs up and some comments. I'm
sure I will find many new friends. I see nothing
will go wrong exactly. Could also in a standoff, I

(08:05):
try to use white woman tears to get in, the
owner uses them to.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Get me out.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
I like that's hilarious, like two witches putting spells on
each other. My tears are in some way superior being
a lawyer and knowing what to say, but also inferior
because of the immigrant stuff. In any case, I'll report
back if I can, and we'll see if she leaves
more comments start the week. Hopefully it worked out, Sean says,
when you were giving out of the advice to walking
the other into people's homes rather than being on real

(08:30):
estate apps, I was literally walking outside the property that
I've been looking at purchasing. I had walked there to
check the levels of noise during the daytime. It's a
beautiful spot and has a small garden, while planning to
put a bench for sitting outside and listening to the birds.
Then I put my earphones in and walked from where
I hope to be living in the very near future
to a grocery store the street. In my area, we
don't have a farmer's market. However, before the pandemic. We'd

(08:52):
have farmers setting up shop here and there at regular intervals,
and we even had a motioning farmers market where the
farmers would bring produce and that people would put money
in a can for the produce they picked up. Unfortunately,
most of the places are gone thanks COVID. However, there
are now farmers areas in certain grocery stores and convenience
stores where they sell straight from the farmers. Different places

(09:12):
have different ways to deal with things. Also, sorry for
the overly comment complex comments. At times, it didn't expect
you to be on our six or seven where you're
reading them through them.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Hey man, it's not your fault.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
I was having an off day and as I was
stumbling through, I was like, shit, I'm more tired than
I thought.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Right, only I could keep up. I was behind all right.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
And then let's see on YouTube this episode had four comments.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Let's check those out. Great show. You are right about
getting outside because I enjoy it, says Biz Drown. Yeah, man,
get outside a little bit, see you know, sit in
the sun. Joseph says.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
The irony of you explaining the name of the podcast
at the time when Graham Plattiner just got caught asking
why black people don't Tip's almost too much for me. Also,
that Digital Madness episode is deep shout out to y'all.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Thank you Joseph.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
You know, man, I appreciate that that was one of
those ones that I wasn't really sure as I was
talking about it how many people. Yeah, it wasn't playing obviously.
But also I've never really I like reading.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
I read for my.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Own edification for the most part. But I do save
a lot of notes and I am prepared to talk
about those topics in a lot of ways, but I
never really know. I'm not consistent and fast enough a
reader to do like a book club because I don't.
I hate I really hate scheduling my entertainment edification in

(10:44):
that way. So like, I know, I probably could do
some sort of book club ish thing, but man, I
really like having a deadline when I was just reading
for leisure and relaxation.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
It comes to work anyway.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
So I do want to talk about the books, but
I never really think about what is the appropriate space.
But yeah, sometimes I should slide those back into the
show at times. It'll probably not be as consistent as
when we used to do reading Rainbow and start the
show with sometimes ten twenty minutes of conversation. But that
was also a time, you know, letting y'all behind the
creative envelope of the show. That was a time when

(11:21):
I was really trying to find ways to get Karen
more involved in the show up front. And so it's like, well,
maybe if we talk about these more deeper topics that
are in these books, and maybe she'll want to talk
about those things with me. But I think we found
something with the banter segment, so let's.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Just leave it alone.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Channel fifty five oh one music says love y'all, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Let's see, do.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
We have any comments from Spotify. I've been checking those
lately to see what the people say over there. If anything,
see you gotta click a lot to get to the comments. Okay, nope,
none on this one. Okay, cold co code and the Pope.
The poe for this episode was slavery. Good or bad.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Depends on who you ask.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Ninety seven percent of our audience, that's right, not one hundred,
not one hundred.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Ninety seven percent on audience says it was bad.

Speaker 5 (12:18):
And who are you either happy slaves or you own slaves?

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Who are you people?

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (12:24):
One person said it was good. No explanation, no comments,
more than likely just some trolling going on there. Yes, uh,
you know, since you guys gave us the five star reviews,
let's just go to the next episode. The next episode
is thirty one seventy six, which is actually a Balls
These Sports episode that I just put on the regular

(12:46):
feed for y'all to get a peek behind the paywall
if people cared about that thing. We got one comment
from this one from Sean, but he said he meant
it for the Balls the Sports feedback show, like, not
the main feeds. So I'm gonna since you're doing that,
I'm gonna take the time right now to go ahead
and move this comment over so I won't forget to

(13:09):
get this ship the next time. Yes, but we weren't
able to do a Balls Sports this week, just do
the scheduling stuff. But we will be doing one, hopefully
next Wednesday. Yeah, we have not scheduled for Wednesday, so
hopefully this Wednesday, well we'll be able to get to
your question, Sean, and let me see if there's anything

(13:31):
on Spotify for this one. And I didn't put this
one on YouTube because I didn't want to put the
video out for so long and I would have to
edit it because it's actually the pregame and balls Sports,
and this was a long one. It was like five
almost six hours for us to record all of this.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
We did the marathon, and one thing I can say,
I love our live audience. Shout out to y'all that
last Saturday was up with us with your coffee at eight,
went to go get lunch and.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Came back and did the right show with us. Two
people win, they went on runs, came back. So shout
out to those y'all that went through the marathon with us.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Slash Saturday Soul Power said thanks y'all, and Made by
the Music said serious question. Why eating the mic? I
thought my boyfriend was eating chips behind me. I don't
remember eating in the mic, but maybe. But honestly, at
the same time, pregame in Balls DP started as a

(14:27):
very like relaxed kind of off mic conversation, like pregame
really is not even supposed to be a podcast. It's
like me Andressin would chop it up and then we
would actually start recording ball d Sports. Sometimes, you know,
twenty thirty minutes to an hour after just catching up
from the week and then we'd be like, oh, the
sports show, let's record our sports show. And so when

(14:48):
you hear pregame, you hear music in the background. I
actually did a poll of the people on our Patreon,
because you can do polls that'll be like, hey, do
y'all prefer this background music or no background music? Because
you know, I could understand an argument against that. I
can understand, Hey, I don't like y'all eating and drinking
in the mic. I don't like you know, it's much
more relaxed. Yeah, it's just which literally just pregaming before

(15:11):
we do the bass deep and the pole results came
back highly in favor of the music. It was crazy,
So I really think, I mean, look, rock and roll,
sometimes the shit don't make sense.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
I know all the advice podcasts.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Have and you're not supposed to do what we're doing,
but sometimes we break the rules over here. And I
think those of y'all that really like us and fuck
with us will go with us on those and those
that don't won't. And I saw that this comment had
laughing emojis and stuff, so I doubt this person's like
one hundred percent like what the fuck? But but yeah,
you would never you would typically not hear that on

(15:43):
the regular show, and then to hear that on the pregame,
it's like whoa on the balls the sports.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
In the pregame, it's like, well, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (15:50):
And I think, oh, and this, being Boss Deep, I
know exactly what happened.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
So we do the pregame and.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Then Boss D Sports we actually that's all live that
you hear that intro, I play that while we go
use the bathroom. We have about three minutes to use
the bathroom, grab something to eat, grab something, refill our drinks, yes,
And so I'm rushing and sometimes I get back and
I still got you know, like a grape something, you know,
and I'm like, fuck, I'm gonna have to finish this

(16:18):
great during the freeback segment because I don't three minutes
is not enough time, but I don't want to make
the live audience wait ten fifteen to twenty minutes.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
For us to like take a full break.

Speaker 5 (16:28):
Right.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
So that's what you were hearing. That's probably too much information,
but whatever, let's see. And the pole for this one
was do you use gambling apps? Eighty four percent no,
but sixteen percent yes.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
I do not. I do not use I do any
of those apps. I don't know. I've never been interested
in it either.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
I don't care like I've used them. I just I can't.
I can't.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
I'm not a gambler though, I can't care enough. And
I don't know what. Maybe because I didn't grow up
gamb Maybe I don't know, but I don't have whatever
the bug is that makes people be do reckless shit
like oh, I got a feeling the hornets play the
night forty dollars on melow to.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Get like, I don't even have that. I don't like.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
It's almost like playing how people play the lottery, like
you don't expect to win, so it's not a big deal.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
That's how I gamble.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
I'd be like I would put a dollar on what
if LaMelo gets thirty points, Miles Bridge is hit four threes,
Brandon Miller gets two dunks I don't like, and it's
like none of that shit might happen. Two of those
things might happen, like and then like once every hundred bets,
I might have one that goes, oh, I may I made.

(17:40):
I put a dollar in and I made sixteen. Now
to gamble that sixteen away because I don't really None
of this money was real.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
To me, right right, Yeah, I feel you on now
right because they ain't going to Baker Gun.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
But I do think if you have a problem, I
don't know, I feel like those apps can be so
dangerous because you're not even using physical money or talking
to people.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
And so so if someone had a problem with it,
say because.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
I mean, I'm sure the people that gamble are like
this Nigga Rod is not even doing shit, But those
that gamble, it's like, no, I put fifty dollars on
this parlay or some shit I can't imagine. I know
that's why they be yelling at them players and stressed out,
like you now, you need that to hit in a
way that I don't. And if anything, I would like
to see my team win. And that's enough stress when

(18:26):
you're a Hornets fan, right.

Speaker 5 (18:27):
And also it's a thing where I when it comes
to sports, I like to buych sports for pure enjoyment.
I might look up and like, damn, he got eighteen rebounds,
you know.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Five assists and for blocks.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
But yeah, but it's not something like I'm going in
like like he better do a triple double.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Its ain't gonna make my money.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah, I can't handle it.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
I don't think I could handle if sports was actually
stressful and and it related to how much money I
was going to have or not have that week.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
I think it's just I'm not built for that.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
But I like listen and the people talk about it,
Like I listened to Nick Wright's podcast, and I'll listen
to him very education try to walk hisself through the
narratives of like because that's really I think when you
look at shit the way I do, and I'll say
that's really with no real judgment, but you're honestly watching
people construct narratives on how they will be right about

(19:19):
things that are completely unpredicted, you know. And I'm sure
they recognize that as well. But it's just interesting listening
to I like listening to sports, period, and it's not
even just about gambling. I listen to Bomani all the
time religiously, and you listen to him talk about football,
and I've realized over the years Bowani talking about football
is mostly just talking about.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Quarterbacks and how he feels about a quarterback, and that's
just that.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
So, like you, I'm looking at things from a meta
level of consumption, and I'm still enjoying it.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
It's not about like catching both money.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
You was wrong, a because I would if I had
to talk about sports in that way, I would be
wrong all the time.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Too, because this shit is unpredictable.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Which is why they play the games while we watched, right,
but imagine throwing your money in that and now you need.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
The unpredictable world we right, child, child, I would be
a terrible gambler.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
I remember we went to one game and uh Joanna
attended to Coupo, came out, shot around and then just
went back in the tunnel and never played.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
And them gambling people was on it. That's all they
was talking.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
About even left. They were pissed.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
I was, and I was. I was like sad.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
I was also mad, but just that I wasn't gonna
get to see Gianni's pluck.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
That was me.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
I was mad because like, damn he was shooting around
with happen because me and.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Roger looked like the damn the game stock that he
ain't coming.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Back right, And then they was just like man, my parlay.
I was like, oh yeah, God.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
This gambling ship is out of control.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Like you heard like a whole section down below. It's
just pissed.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
All right, let's get into a break and then we'll
come right back.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
Coming here along.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Guess what you've seen?

Speaker 4 (21:17):
That's it? Yes, that's.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
It's funny.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Why all right?

Speaker 2 (21:35):
That was puzzled by DJ Jaffa. Let's get into the
next episode. Thirty one seventy seven. We need all five stars.
We got five comment or two comments. Appia says, I
think running candidates who are under suspicion to be secretly
right wing might be a great way to success.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
But I also see also the.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Downside, because you would have to start with a person
who definitely is not right wing, with no ch and
zero percent, and unfortunately there's no blood test for it, and
you never know what the whites come on. And I'm
telling you, like, let's think about worst case scenario for
a second, with that guy Platner. Let's say, all Bernie

(22:15):
Sanders and these guys they convince us we should vote
for him anyway. He should be the Democratic candidate or
whatever progressive candidate he wins. Within however many weeks, months, whatever,
he just starts voting Republican shit, and he is racist.
And do you understand the immense setback that would be

(22:37):
to everybody, not just Bernie in them.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
But people wouldn't because they wouldn't just stop.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
With Bernie and be like, this is Bernie Sanders' fault
and progressive fault and all these people that tell us
to not worry about this kind of stuff because the
real problem is the economy.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
It's all their fault.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
But they would also extended Democrats. You're weak, you let
this happen. How you're gonna have a racist person in there?
Didn't y'all have a better candidate that can stop them.
I just don't see what you get out of the
best case scenario is he turns out to not be racist.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Best case scenario is, oh, he actually wasn't lying. He
used to be kind of weird racist and anti woman
and anti and had a hitler a Nazi tattoo, and
he turned out to be all right.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
But you never know, and when you deal, when you
are always on the receiving and you're like, bitch, I
don't want to take a chance.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
No, Yeah, I'm just saying like that's what I'm saying,
Like the best case scenarios, he's an okay, god right,
that's still not inspiring. Inspiring in the way like, so,
this is a thing that doesn't get put at the
footsteps of the progressive movement enough. And if you're gonna
put it at the feet of democrats, I think you

(23:49):
have to do just the same with progressive yes, which
is which is you need to inspire because your whole
thing is that the Democrats and the mainstream they're not
inspiring enough. They're not inspiring people to change and to vote.
I'm not I don't see and maybe I've just missed it,

(24:10):
But what's inspirational about this guy?

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Right?

Speaker 2 (24:12):
What's aspirational about this guy? It would almost be better
if his story was I was a fucking racist Nazi
back in the day and I changed.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
I see the error of that. That was wrong.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Progressive politics inspired me to be a champion for people.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
D Da, da dada. That's that's a better story than
I was drunk. Who knows.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
I used to be on message boards, but I didn't
really mean it. Yeah, I said something about women being
raped in the.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Military, but that was jokes like these are just half
ass Like why are we voting for this fucking guy? Right,
That's all I'm saying. So, yeah, I wouldn't take the
chance on him. If I lived up there.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Now, the thing is that state's ninety six percent white, right,
this none of those things I said, except for maybe
the sexual assault of the military stuff is probably a
deal breaker for them. But they don't here where his
thoughts on black people and tipping or whatever. So who
knows what will happen in that election. But man, I'm
I don't think this is a feel good win.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
If he wins.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
I don't think AOC and Bernie holding hands and lifting,
you know, lifting his arms up in victory is gonna
be an optic that's gonna inspire a lot of people.
But we'll see what happens up there. It's not once again,
because this is important, Okay, I'll need you all to
understand this.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
I don't live there.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Ultimately, my life will not be affected too much one
way or the other if this guy wins. Kind Of
like Cuomo and Mom Donnie, the internet it wants me
to care about this a lot. My social media wants
me to care. But if I'm being honest, it's mostly
a like, Okay, like I hope, hope it works out
for the good people and the good side, But at

(25:52):
the same time, I don't think it'll be the end
of the world one way or the other. But man,
it's just kind of wild to see what gets a
past in this universe of politics and can still be
considered progressive and uplifting.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
Right, And it's also one of those things when it
comes to progressive and uplifting. Like you say, when it
comes to certain shit, y'all the YadA y'alla y'alla pass
and look at us.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Going, ain't you suposed to be inspiring? Like that? Other
shit matters more than what you fuck are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Otherwise, I would suggest for this person to even get
a Nazi face tattoo and say they didn't know what
it was when they got it and now the skin
is too sensitive for a cover up or something stupid
like that. When they are asked if they are secret Nazi,
they win can say no and wink again. When in
office they do the most aggressive politics. Because the right
wing people thought it was a secret Nazi, they got
all the votes and had a huge majority.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
As I said, the only problem is, how can.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
We guarantee that they are not having one more depth
in our secret Nasi. After all, this approach works for
our right wing party somehow, AfD the lady on top
is a lesbian who was married to a woman who
was originally from Sri Lanka and they have kids.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Yes, you heard that correctly. Yeah. All I know is
this man.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
I like when I understand the theory of people floating
the idea Karen Hunter floats at all the time, like
why can't we run secret democratic, secret progressive, secret liberal
people that run as Republicans, especially in some of these
weaker Republican districts and stuff. I mean, I be cool
with it, but you got to get everybody in on

(27:27):
the plan.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Everybody gotta agree, and that.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Will always be the hurdle for liberal and Democratic leaning voters.
We are very much a like hurting cats. We don't
like we want perfect candidates in a lot of ways.
We want candidates that inspire and bring us together. We
don't want duplicitus people. We don't want people that are

(27:52):
using surreptitious means to make moves. We like public displays,
and we like transparent and honesty. Things that are not
to me are not that important when the goals that
I would like to see accomplished are being accomplished, right,
But that is the box that we have put our
progressive candidates and politics in so I don't think it's

(28:16):
possible to have a truly reformative candidate who's like who
everyone on the left is like, Yo, this person's kind
of a wild card.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
But you know what, I still think when they get
in the office, they're going to be liberal. I don't.
We don't treat people like that. We actually do the opposite.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
We'll have liberal candidates who govern liberally but don't say
the right thing every once in a while, and we'll
be like that motherfucker is secretly a conservative and should
leave no matter how they govern. You know, I still
think about how people talk about Biden. People talk about
Biden like his administration was a centrist administration and it

(28:57):
just wasn't It is not factually backed up. It was
one of the most progressive legislations we've ever administrations we've
ever had, but that's not how people feel and America
People's feelings are facts, and unfortunately that's where it leaves
us with this kind of bullshit where he didn't always

(29:18):
say the right thing. I still remember explaining on this show.
I thought it was brilliant politics the way he used
to be like, yeah, I'll.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Meet with the Republicans.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, I'll meet when I talk to him about the
bill day, I'll talk to him about the government shut down.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
I'll talk to him, and he.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Would They would go to the meeting, and they would
leave the meeting, and Joe Biden would not have moved
an inch on any issue.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Right, That's what you're supposed to do.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
And yet I saw so many people who were just
mad he met with them, And I was like, are
you so then you're not paying attention, or you just
don't care, or only the optics matter. So anyway, that's
how that's the box we put our democratic progressive candidates
in and politicians in. I don't think it's possible for
us to do what you just said. I think truly,

(30:09):
if like, let's say this guy really had an impeccable
political platform, this platinum guy, which I'm not familiar with
for the record, but let's say he had one, but
he had that tattoo, he's not a good candidate. No
one's looking like maybe this state ninety six percent of
white might look past it, but let's say he was

(30:30):
running for president, he would lose. Not enough of us
are looking past that shit.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
We just can't.

Speaker 5 (30:36):
And so it's just based on the history and the
things going on in this country. And it's just one
of them things where a lot of times were like,
I don't give you the benefit of that. I'm sorry,
I just can't based off of what the history of
this country has showed me.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Yeah, and this is a major one, Like I've seen
this same thing happen with I mean, I still think
that's what happened with Kamla Harris and the Gaza.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Shit.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
People wouldn't give her the benefit of the day out
they should have. Yes, I think they fucked up. I
think they were wrong. But because she could not come
out for throdedly and be like, when I am president,
we will disavow Israel and we will put sanctions on
them and all. She didn't come out and just straight
up say that, which would counterman the president in office

(31:18):
at the time, counterman all strategy, counterman the campaign.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
That they had.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Because she wouldn't just probably burn her campaign to the
ground to say that message, there were people like, well,
I can't vote for she should have said that, and
if I go, well, if she I think she's gonna
do that some of that stuff, But if she doesn't
say it, but if she does say it, she will lose.
They'd be like, I'd rather lose, you know. And so
that's that's where we're at. And I'm not gonna pretend
to be better than that, because there are some things

(31:48):
coming up in this next few elections that I know
I'm like, then we just gonna have to lose, such
as if people say we should let trans people go,
let DEI stuff go, oh, let you know, the like,
let a lot of people's rights that we have been
protecting on the left, we should just let that go
so we can run a straight white candidate who's actually

(32:11):
like basically a conservative, light right. I'm gonna be one
of the people that goes. I guess we're just gonna
have to lose because I don't want to support that.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
You right, and and and it's one of those things
where I'm with you. I'm like, because a lot of
those rights impact me, impact family members, impact loved when,
impact people in this audience. And I'm like, no, bitch,
I'm I am not abandoning ship, you know, just because
y'all want to. And it's one of those things where
for me having that stance is different than them having

(32:41):
that stance, like I feel like there are two completely
different stances. Their stances is like, but I want to
look good, like bitch, I just want to win. And
for this right here, I was like, well, I guess
we lose because it because us winning means everybody loses.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, I just like I would still vote obviously, I
would still vote for the most like Democrat left lean
it like whatever the best of the choices are.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
I'm not giving up.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
But yeah, I would be like, that seems like a
losing strategy. And that seems like if we when we lose,
as you said, like even if that candidate wins the election,
a lot of people lose their rights regardless.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
So where's the in my mind, where's the victory.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah, so but yeah, I think we don't have so
we don't have that kind of coalition on the left
of my point anyway, Even he says these pastors are
out of pocket, if I was a lady that who
donated twelve hundred dollars to Marvin Wanners church, I would
have snatched that money back so fast.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
That man is clearly a charlatan.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
That being said, if times get real bad, I may
start a church because there will always be fools willing
to part with that money so passors can fly in
the private jet.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
Funny you wouldn't go get a.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Job at Arby's. Let's see on YouTube we got provocative
af what Rod and Karen Yo. That intro was dope
with buss a Rom's Yeah. I accidentally recorded the show early.
I hite the I don't know when I hit that record,
but I must have hit it early, and so a
couple of the pregame music songs got in there. The

(34:08):
pre show music songs got in there, and so I
had to delete them off of the YouTube. So he
must have listened right away because YouTube sent me a
warner that's like, what you want to do, because you
can't monetize this video.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
I was like, oh, I guess delete that shit. My bad.
I didn't mean to.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
But but if you watch the crowdcast, which the link
is in the show notes every time, if you sign
up for our crowdcast so you can get alerts, you'll
get an alert that tells you when we go live.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
And sometimes it can be between.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
I'd say ten to twenty five thirty minutes of me
getting the show stuff ready and listening to whatever music
I want to listen to at the time, and the
audience comes in and they mingle with each other and
we you know, some of them get introduced to some
new songs or just hey, I love this song or whatever.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
And YouTube Roger edits that.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, YouTube, y'all just get the podcast. Yeah you unless
I fuck up like I did this time. Sharon says,
I don't vote for or support Nazi's period in the story,
the current government is representative of the electorate. The American
electorate voted for hatred, chaos, and the destruction of our
freedoms based on ignorance, stupidity, misogyny. Right says, well, no wonder,
everything's going to hell. Love you guys, thank you. And

(35:18):
she said sometimes and she said she caught it, Carr.
Sometimes people got to get their asses with before they
realized shit is real.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Caring facts hard. Emoji agreed. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
I like, like I said, man, I guess everybody draw
the line somewhere, but I just don't know how you
don't draw the line.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
At Nazi tattoos.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
That just seemed crazy, Like why can't he just I'm
moving on, it's not my candidate.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Good luck.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Damien says, close the doors. I said, close the doors.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
Y'all can't leave here till Rodder care get that.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Well deserved five star reviews, not three, not four point
five or five.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
We can be here all night if I need to be,
if need.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Be, And they left him, Thank you y'all.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah, y'all did appreciate at yab. Let's see any comments
on this one. Yeah, we got comments on Spotify for
this one. R Dave says ride during the prank bit
had me rolling. Karen not laughing made it even funnier.
Hashbag Hippie says for the yeah, no one rolle in
to say Karen.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Kill rod Joe. I don't look at her face? How comes?

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Why she don't even think he funny? Like, why y'all
don't write that ship? Why can't I be the victim
of the relationship?

Speaker 1 (36:28):
No, you can't never be the victim.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Hashback Hippie Hippie said for the stealers, mascot Sally, you
got a hand steal he mcbeam a pink slip and
let him know that still playing is closing.

Speaker 5 (36:39):
Yes, that's that's a go I closing.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
That's good Like I won't mascot specific tunts. That's all
I'm asking. It's a small thing to ask for. You
guys already come up with ship all the time.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Let's give me some. Give me some of that real ship.
Give me, give me you catch.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
When you beat the dolphins, you get a touchdown, You
pretend you're cast in the net, and that a dolphin
came in, and you make some salt.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
You make tune out of the dolphin. Now we're cooking.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
When we is cooking, Shoe Moody says, the panty pranker
would not make it the try.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
If that happened in my home, it would have been
on site.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
No one wants to meet their make or naked with
panties on their face. But that guy is lucky his
intended victim didn't go ham on him. Yeah, and those
kind of stories are always wild because obviously the headlines
are very salatious and like, on its face, it's kind
of funny that like, oh my god, man, and also like,
if I'm being honest, I try to pick the ones

(37:41):
where no one gets killed or like. But obviously that's
a traumatizing thing that went that woman went through and uh,
and as absurd as it is, it's ultra scary to
think there's a person out there doing shit like that,
you know. But yeah, lucky he didn't meet his maker,
and I'm glad she made it out. But the fact

(38:04):
that he was like, is a prank is just go
straight to jail. You didn't even think about this crime.

Speaker 5 (38:10):
This is crazy child, dim and dim and the Halloween
people walking up at the door, ringing on the ring,
and the thing is, you.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Fucked up my property. I'm your goddamn family member. Child.
I ain't, we ain't never, We might not never talk again.
You do that shit to me.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
The poe was, have you ever won free tickets to anything?
Because my I won four free tickets to a Hornets
game that we were already going to, but because it
was four free tickets sitting together, we took my parents
and we had a good time, had a great time.
Those of y'all that followed on social media. I think
I may have posted the picture on my Instagram or something.
But uh so, yeah, we won those tickets. And then

(38:43):
the poll sixty six percent have want free tickets to something?

Speaker 4 (38:51):
Have not?

Speaker 3 (38:53):
We'll keep putting your keep putting your hat in the ring. Guys,
I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
I don't think I have.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
You don't think he ever won free tickets to a concert,
a raffle some type where it was like you go
to an event, a music park.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Something randomly and got like some kind of small gifts.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Like I know they have like giveaways a job sometimes.

Speaker 5 (39:13):
I have, but it wasn't like a free tickets to
like a game, was it? But the monitor that you're
actually got right now? I got it at my job
years ago.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Oh yeah, yeah, I didn't say have you ever won
it's free tickets tickets?

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Yes, yes, yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
No, I've loved I've won a couple.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
I remember I want a bike once at a at
a bar for a giveaway that they had not I
didn't have ship to do it that, but I just
brought the bike home and set it in the house.
Was like, I don't know what I'm I don't ride bikes.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Now.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
I would think about it now that we got the
new car, like maybe it could fit in there. But
when we had the the smaller cars, it was like.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
I just have a bike.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Yeah, we just got a bike.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
Forget what I did with that bike. I think I
gave it, sold it to a friend or something. But anyway, yeah,
and then I see I did the comments the posed
I think that was everything for that episode. All right, cool,
let's go to the next episode, which is the final
episode of the week, which was thirty one seventy eight.

(40:13):
The Books of Gay Biggots.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
They just the gift that never stops giving.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
Right, Abia says, I'm glad you brought up the invasive
species because I often thought about it.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
I know there has what has been said and where
the danger lies. But also the humans who were created
in Africa and the cane of Eurasian Europe sounds like
a definition of an invasive species. I get the urge
to survive and live, so I don't blame the old
time humans for looking for new habitats.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
So this was good.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
But when another species, maybe a bird, decides to try
their luck in a new place, they are the big
problem and should be killed. As Rod said, if you
asked the birds, they would probably not think that there
are too many and that they should all got Maybe
they can't. They are off the star are a new
great bird society and culture. And also when it's no,

(41:04):
when it's long, when it's longer ago the invasive species,
the invasive.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
Wait recise the scene. Oh the species is seen as cute,
not at danger anymore.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
Yeah, Yeah, it's just I don't know what the rules
are with the invasive species. Then that's all I'm saying.
And I'm glad you understood what I was getting that.
It just feels arbitrary, and it seemed like the people
that's making it up are white people, which culturally are
the most invasive species historically throughout the globe when it
comes to just dominating motherfuckers.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
I know, because we take up a shit. Dude.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
Yeah, they like listen, takes one to know one. Trust me,
this motherfucking lantern fly. It's not your friend. I'm just
gonna tell you right now that motherfucker is gonna be
chopping off hands for gold, and just give them a week.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
Langston says.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
Karen getsing the race during the white people knew the
story took me all the way out.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
For god, I forgot what said we was seeing.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
I'm sorry, y'all right, you might be on the something
about those invasive species. What if it's a plot by
Big Seafood to raise the price on crabs. Maybe that's
just my third eye opening. I don't know. I don't
know either, but I don't I mean, it's so crazy
because in that story, the real invasive species is man.
Because in that story, the reason that those crabs have

(42:19):
bloomed in numbers is that global warming has risen to
see temperature by four degrees, meaning that many more of
those green crabs survived than they used to, and so
now they have to start looking for other food sources.
And we're like, we need to kill these crabs as
fast as possible. They are taking over the environment. No, nigga,

(42:42):
the carbon is taking over there.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Monoxide.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
It's the problem that the emissions have We looked at that.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Who's doing that?

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Are the cars driving? Are they driving?

Speaker 1 (42:52):
The big got a hole in it?

Speaker 3 (42:54):
That's out of here? Oh floral carbon ass right.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Eve says, I don't understand the no snitching thing because
I'm not snitching for anyone. This girl is not cut
out for prison. You don't even have to get me popeyes.
I'll snitch for a pack of gum.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
I do it for free.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
And people say they don't snitch, are the main one
snitch And it's not worth it to keep quiet.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
Because the same fools who you would protect what your solace,
would turn around and snitch on you.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
In a Harvey, So a snitcher was an Olympic sport,
I'd have more gold medals than some mon biles. That
rings extremely hollow for a person that's been covering for
Arby's for damn near ten years. If there's one not
snitching ass company in America, it's Arby's. No one is
buying steak nuggets. No, we don't know how they make money.

(43:45):
No one has been in a line that.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Artists magical money. I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
Nobody has ever said, man, I'd go to Arvey's but
it's too full.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Nope.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Every time you go to Arby's. The reason there's a
line is because they weren't expecting to make food that
day and they have to start from scratch.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Tell everybody got to wait.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
If you come in and say can I have some
curly fries, they'd be like, shit, somebody.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
Can help me curl these potatoes. Fuck out of here.
You the main not snitch. You, You duff for test.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
Too much for meal seventy three, says my name is Amel,
and I'm here to say no, what can you find
the books again?

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Ha ha ha, No you cannot.

Speaker 3 (44:26):
That's a very old school way to say it.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Maybe if they tied the Bible with the old school
rap I would maybe I'll be more into it.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
Interesting, Maybe that would have worked. H my name is Jesus, and.

Speaker 5 (44:39):
I'm here to say because it hos it every way.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
My name is Moses. The commandment ten isn't I'm about
to do?

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Yeah? They should.

Speaker 3 (44:53):
Why don't we have that?

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Feels like don't we have that?

Speaker 2 (44:56):
You want to indoctrinate somebody to religion? Listen, throw that
motherfucking throw a.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Beat beat underneath it, throw a beat on that whole.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Let me uh oh, I just saw somebody love a
comment and it was making me approve it on Spotify. Okay,
so let's go to YouTube and check the comments for
the Books of Gay.

until Game of Throngs comes back on I thoroughly in
Georgiall's commentary, Listen, I can't wait either. Although I got

(45:58):
a bad feeling about.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
This night the Three Kingdoms or whatever, I want it
to be good and I hope it's good.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
And you know me, we're going in with one hundred
enthusiasm even if it sucks. When we recap it, we
will try to find some fun and other than just
saying how much this thing sucks and I hate it
if possible, because I just I don't like doing those
kind of reviews. If I honestly think a thing sucks,
I want to stop watching. I don't want to I

(46:27):
don't want to just be like but at least I'm
getting some content.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
I'm like.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
I remember in the last two seasons of True Blood,
and the audience basically begged us to keep reviewing it,
and it was honestly the horrible for me, even if
it was entertaining to y'all to hear Rod shit on
some shit and Justin shit on some shit and Karen
wasn't even watching. I think I hated that, so hopefully

(46:51):
this is actually good and maybe just the trailer undersold it.
But this shit don't look like it's fit to be
dragon and all that. It was like, it's getting to
be some regular ass medieval white. Yes, that's what looks
like to me too, But maybe you know, maybe there's
some some stuff to be had in here, but I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
I need to need some dragons every once in a while.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Ria says five K followers. Congratulations, y'all did it, Joe?

Speaker 1 (47:14):
We did?

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Come on, we did it, Joe Sheena Sheen Shane says
forty nine thirty caught me off guard, screaming, I don't
know what happened at the forty nine second thirty forty
nine minute, thirty second mark.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
Okay, let's see if I can play it.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
I gotta switch to the screen so you guys will
get the audio of it. But this is what he's
talking about. Oh damn, why to go back to the beginning. Congratulations, sir,
forty nine thirty. We're at ojoy to everything we did together.
I miss her daily. The couple first cross paths at
work at a work event.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
This ain't got a job, not buzz Aldren still having
to get a job.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Oh yeah, thank you never know where the show is
gonna take us. Hey, guys, congrass on a five K
milestone from Ella Scow, who says, so I think what
happened with Snoop is he got a call from Martha
Stewart pr people telling him you need to start with
the homophobe because it's hurting their client's image. They had
to remind him this isn't Jeff row Records. This HBCU

(48:22):
tour was definitely.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
Not his idea. Oh you know, I didn't even think
forget about the mark of it, like that's funny. But
she's a felon, so who knows she's a thug.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
She might also hate gays, but I'm just jogging, But
forget about the marth of it. But damn, he slipped
the HBC right past me, slipped there right. I was
thinking about the this was two birds with one stone
because he had the Trump controversy, which lost him a
lot of respect from black folk and this whole And man,

(48:54):
I'm gonna say something that's a little bit controversial here,
and I get it. If y'all disagree with what I'm
about to say, that's fine. I haven't fully I'm not
full throated least saying this one hundred but.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
As an HBCU grad, I am a bit resentful, even
though I am happy for the universities to get whatever support.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
And love and prominence and like TV time they can get.
So don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming the universities.
I want you all to understand. What I'm about to
get into is a little bit nuanced. So I need
y'all to understand I'm not blaming the universities, or the
presidents or the students. I'm glad they're having a good time,

(49:50):
but watching house black celebrities who have denigrated our commune
of these politically as a whole, use these HBCU tours
to clean up their image with black people. Yes, so

(50:11):
they can claim some level of proximity, while also being
antithetical to the things that would help black people throughout society.
I'm a bit reticent to give these people any credit
and it feels a little like culture vulturing.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
And I say that like with Steven A.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
Smith and First Take during the HBCU tour this year,
but in between stops, he's on his podcast and on
his radio show saying some abhorrent things about black politicians,
about black people's culture, about blackness in general. You know,
he's worshiping at the feet of of you know.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
The Kaitlin Clark is white. Y'all need to leave all alone.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
You know, Like he's doing these things where he's denigrating
black folks, but then and when he need to soften
that image towards us, he's pulling out his daughter and
going to HBCU's Cam Newton, Like I said, man, I
know the same popular don't you know you don't agree,
I'll feel you, but I didn't like I don't necessarily
like what Cam was doing when he was like I

(51:18):
should be the face of like some type of HBCU
tour thing. Y'all just see black HBCUs, their colleges, their universities.
We have people who went there. There are people who
are famous who went there. This is not a charity.
I know y'all are doing this because it's like a

(51:38):
bag now. And the reason I think people see it
as a bag is because of Dion Sanders. Dion was
able to take Jackson State and parlay that into huge
college division ie money, and I have no problem with
him being at a HBCU.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
I actually liked it. I thought it was kind of
trash how.

Speaker 5 (51:59):
He yes, how he left. I didn't mind him leaving,
but I do not like the way he left.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
And I know he was collarly catching some unfair flat
from people who are being like this black man is
lead because he you know, he led with all that
pro blackness. But when he left instead of just letting
people dislike that he left, which is there's some people.
Sometimes people are not gonna like how you leave. They're
not not even how They're just not gonna like that
you left. Yep, And that's okay. You can't please everybody.

(52:28):
But I wasn't blaming him from making that move to
the next level if he wanted to agree. But then
I think he got sensitive about it and he wanted
to air some dirty laundry out so that he could
be like, why it's the university's fault that I'm even leaving, right,
And the thing is, HBCUs don't have the resources that

(52:48):
these white schools have, so they can't match it. Like,
if you're gonna compare us to the white man's ice
on that one, the white man's ice is coming out
of ice machine and are just coming out the refrigerator
and you're being like, I couldn't believe that they weren't
perfectly shaped cubes or whatever.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
And it's just giving people more ammo.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
To use against HBCUs and black people and black colleges
that already are up against it when it comes to funding,
when it comes to resources, when it comes to the
current administration that's trying to get rid of DEI at
white schools, so you know they would just like to
get rid of the black schools. It's not helpful, but

(53:29):
people saw what he did as like a get over, get.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
Quick scheme, get rich quick scheme for a lot of
college coaches.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
A lot of black athletes that are football players are
basically locked out of NCAA Division One coaching because they
have to.

Speaker 3 (53:44):
Go through the ropes.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
They would have to start at coordinator work their way
all the way up to head coaching candidate, and that
can take years in a racist society where not very
many black coaches even get a chance to be ahead
black coach. So what Dion figured out was a shortcut.
HBCU's not gonna require any of that. I'm famous, I'm black,
I played sports before these other people that are taking

(54:09):
these jobs. They ain't got the cachet as me, and
especially in a uh in this new uh uh nil
world where you can where you could capitalize on some
like some some private money and stuff, bring in a
big name, let's get these programs popping. And so they
saw what Dion did and they went Okay, So now

(54:29):
Mike Vick's doing that. Now DeShawn Jackson's doing that. I
forget my man from the Ravens that wanted to do
it and then like shit on the university and was
all of But my point being, I'm not questioning these
brothers character. I'm not saying they not they hared not
in the right place, but I am saying the game
has put them in a specific situation where it behooves

(54:50):
them that if they would like to be a head coach,
this is a path that wasn't there before.

Speaker 3 (54:56):
Go to an HBCU.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
Now, Mike Vic, Deshann Jackson, they ain't never done nothing
to shit on black people that I know of that
will make me be like, man, they just doing this
to hit a lick. Now, maybe they are, but I
don't feel the disrespect. Agreed, But when I see as
Steven A.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Smith.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
When I hear what Cam's saying Snoop Dogg on this tour,
there's very much this hustle angle to it that just
feels like I need the optics of blackness because I've
put myself in a situation that the world is looking
around going, dude, black people really fuck with you, steven A.

(55:34):
The way you've been acting lately with what I've been
seeing on my social media is how people are talking
about you on their own podcast.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
Do they really fuck with you? Really?

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Like, you know, like yeah, when you're in a position
to help them, so you're on first take.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
I don't expect Ryan Clark to come on there and
spit in your face. Of course he's your buddy, But
do they really fuck with you?

Speaker 2 (55:54):
Because every time I talk to a black person that's
not in your orbit that you can't do anything for,
they don't really seem to fuck with you. Well, I'm
at every HBCU every two weeks. Okay, I guess black
people fuck with you. Let's keep this party going. I
think that's what it feels like. The men I and
Snoop slipped that past me because I was thinking about
the h the LGBTQ part of it, but also he

(56:17):
needs to shore up his black bass. And so for
Shizzle dizzl it's mean dizzle with the blacks and uh anyway, uh,
not racist going to the next Trump event, but not racist.

Speaker 3 (56:28):
Uh let's get this crypto for Shizzle Dizzle.

Speaker 5 (56:31):
Yeah, because the Yeah, I want to speak on this.
For me as somebody else who went to HBCU, My
thing is I agree with you with them almost putting
HBCUs on as a cloak, and it's very frustrating as
somebody who went to who went to one and knowing
the rich, deep history of them. And the thing is

(56:53):
Tom Joiner for those of you a certain age, remember Tom.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Joined the morning show. Tom Joiner love black people.

Speaker 5 (57:00):
He was he was he was very he was very loud,
he was very spoken, and for years he did an
HBCU tour for years and he went to every HBCU
around the country at least once every year, and he
raised money like like he was about that life. That's
that right there. And when he spoke, he didn't come

(57:20):
out anti black and all that stuff. That's complete Like
like that right there is completely different. That's somebody with
a large platform and a large name did radio for
years and all this stuff that's completely different.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
You're not gonna hear Tom jorder go even at his age.

Speaker 5 (57:33):
Now go on any platform and be anti black, going
any platform and shit on black poplack like.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
Like that, and and and for me like that, that
is a difference.

Speaker 5 (57:42):
You can't trick me my going on these platforms saying
anti black stuff, saying a lot of stuff that a
lot of black people have issues and problems with, and
then act like we're the problem for saying hey, brother,
out of love, I don't agree or whatever, and now
we're the problem, you know, And all of a sudden,
you're the voice that nobody asks for. All of a sudden,

(58:02):
you're the voice of the black people, and you're the
one that stand up for us. And it's one of
them things where maybe I'm sensitive. It's like, niggas be grateful, bitch,
we didn't ask you to do this shit in the
first place.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
Why I got to be grateful for you?

Speaker 3 (58:13):
And they don't feel like you're talking to us really right,
Like it feels like this is a display for some
other folks.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
And I think that's what a lot of us are
looking at when when we're going, hey, man, who Is
this really for when you're showing up to be at
the HBCU.

Speaker 3 (58:32):
Is it for the kids? Is it for you know,
the is it for ESPN?

Speaker 2 (58:39):
Is it for your the political class of people who
are like, man, it's steven A.

Speaker 3 (58:45):
Seems like he's really struggling with these black folks. Snoop dog.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
Really, maybe we should stop giving him so many commercial things,
thinking that we're getting to the black community.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
I don't think we are. Oh wait, he's at HBCU.
I think he's fine. I think he's fine. Oh he
stood in a room and gave people were there.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
I think it's okay, guys, no one killed him in
the gay room. So anyway, those are my well, I
know that's a huge.

Speaker 5 (59:06):
Tangent, no no problem problem, And I wanted to get
my product of it too, because these are things that
I also see in like the sports world and things
like that, and it is very irritating, And like you said,
it's one of those things where you're looking it is
the difference between what they're doing and what other people
are doing that there's cis in the same tactics. But
like I say, I watched them, I'm like, Okay, you're
not being that tied black, You're not shitting goa use

(59:29):
like those things matter to me.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
I tried to be very clear, and I'm sure people understand,
but like, I have no problem Eddie George is a
real one hundred percent How would you even doubt Eddie George.
He was doing this shit a long time before and
will be after.

Speaker 3 (59:43):
There's a lot of.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
This is a nuanced conversation because what I'm trying to say,
and I think people that work in this field, people
that went to these universities that know, they understand the
nuance here, right.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
You know. I think about my man k Bads who
is on the.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Fire Starter podcast, because I talked to him briefly about
it too, and like he understands where I'm coming from
because I'm not completely shitting on the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
But there is this level of like.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
To come in and act like you're the savior, acts
like the black people who've been doing this shit.

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
Out of love to their detriment. In many cases, it
acts like they weren't there.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
At like they were.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
It also makes it sound like.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
It's so easy, right, you know, all you gotta do
is just come in and I'll fix it all for you.
And the other part of it is it often turns
into this bitterness an attack on HBCUs that are already
experiencing attacks from the outside from whiteness, as opposed to
a uplifting from within of here's how here are ways

(01:01:03):
we can do better, because everybody I know who went
to an HBCU would also agree, like any other institution,
there are ways they can do better. So none of
us is living in a like this isn't some type
of weird loyalty test. But when you come from outside
to use us as the black card and then also

(01:01:23):
shit on us, there's a reticence. There's a resentment that
that is within me, that is like I don't like
this shit, and it's Snoop Dogg in this case triggered
that for me because I was like, Oh, this is
completely pr none of this is real. You're gonna go
right back to your real thoughts were probably on that podcast.

(01:01:43):
Your real thoughts was, I'm just trying to get this
Trump money for this crypto. You don't really care about us,
And the biggest insult to you was just people holding
you accountable or being upset with you online, and you
was like, really, y'all, gonna say this about Uncle Snoop
because what you really mean is, y'all know, I'm just
a I'm just trying to get this money if from

(01:02:06):
anybody anywhere, I'll put my name on the label of anything.
Why y'all gonna be upset that this time it was Trump.
Why would you be upset that this time it was
a podcast while I shit on gay.

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
People, I'm Snoop.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
I'm just basically like a force of nature, and you
just supposed to be like, well, that's just what Snoop
did today. That's the what's the forecast tomorrow? If you
don't like what I have to say, wait a week.
I'll support the other side if it gives me.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
A check if the money's right. All right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
Two comments on Spotify, Big Bunny says book a gay.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
I imagine villagers yelling.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
Yeah Savior at Jesus, yeah save you as he made
his way through the village. Now I'm imagining him Vogan
America is so embarrassing. Keep doing your thing.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
Rder Karen Kerrn, Yeah that is funny. I could the
gay bobble would be funny, but you already know they
would not this country, not this country, but not staying
not this country. Oh my god, you think gay people
got it bad, they got it bad.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
Now, Okay, to imagine if it was an actual gay
bible out here, boy, uh, Tiger Tigger Junior says, did
y'all put a walk pull of walk whipman reference out
of nowhere?

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
Fantastic? Well, you know, I do my thingy I do.
I do what I do?

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
Okay, all right? The poll, can you afford to take
a most vacation?

Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
Yes or no?

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):
Eighty one percent cannot, ninety percent can. And I just
to god, that was adorable.

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
When motherfucking.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
Oh Jennifer asked it just out here trying to relate
to the rest of us.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
Like I get tired to y'all. I take a whole
thirty days old sometimes.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
I just turned to the staff and I said, we're
taking a month off this year, and I say not March.
I'm like, wow, oh, the privilege.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
It must be nice?

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
Is that good? Be like you know what I'm taking
thirty eight off?

Speaker 3 (01:04:01):
Yeah, it ain't no hate, it's just that's yeah, that's
how it worked out.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
I don't think we got any voicemails this week, so
the last segment is just the emails and I'll play
quick break and unfortunately have to put a commercial break
close to the end of the show because only one email.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
Commercial. This is just a question.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Yeah, I have to find somewhere to put a commercial
with the AI or some ship. I don't know, because
they're gonna be mad. When I was sitting this in
and it's like it was just one commercial breakdown, Like
what nigga, that's not what we are to anyway, Jeff,
he says, thank you always, Jeff in Japan, high Rod
and Karen late Happy Halloween. Just wanted to say, as always,

(01:05:07):
thank you for what you say and put out there
at the time that really defies sanity and intelligence. Just
wanted to comment if I don't didn't get it wrong.
On episode thirty one seventy seven, the politician with the
Nazi SF deafhead death head tattoo in no way in
hell is a person who misunderstood anything, Nor was it
him being young.

Speaker 3 (01:05:25):
Hell no, that's hardcore arian shit, he says.

Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
You guys will call it, well called it a real
white supremacist who got found out what an asshole in
what an animal? Nazi shit should be offensive to all
marginalized groups because just like that goddamn Confederate flag. We
know it symbolizes the destruction of those scene as not
fit to serve, survive but deserving the rights, not deserving

(01:05:49):
the rights, And as usual, people wanted to pretend it's
not a big deal. Always love Jeff in Japan, Thank you, Jeff.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
Yeah, man. And I'm not gonna let them. They're not
gonna drive me crazy, dog right.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
I know what I see and I know what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
It ain't even deep for me that I mean, I
made the I've made the jokes about it, cause I
think that is funny what I said. And you know,
if I was a comedian, I probably workshopped that into
some type of a bit. But this motherfucker had the
inside baseball of the goddamn Nazi tattoos. It wasn't It
wasn't a tattoo that we all know is the swastika.

(01:06:25):
It wasn't the stars and bars like it was. It
was some shit that like the the other Nazis look
at in respect, like oh okay, you so you know,
you know, you know, it's like when you when you
tell somebody.

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
You like uh, you know, uh.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
