We like the boat, watch some movies just she taking notes,

(00:30):
kick back. Listen.
Black and Nerdy have risen. Upload on a mission Five stars
never listen Black and sterdy Blue Black and sterdy OK hello
and welcome to another episode of the Black and Sterdy podcast,
the only podcast where two sexy black nerds get together to
shoot the shit. I am MO AKA kid licorice.

(00:50):
And I'm. Odie and together we are the
aforementioned nerds here on episode Shit.
Hold on. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold
on. Shoot.
Are you making sure we're the? Yes, we are good.
We're we're good. Sorry, how are you doing Episode
157 of the Blackest 30 podcast? Yes, yes.

(01:11):
Do you want to do that again? Or no, no, that's fine.
OK, We're we're good. How are you doing?
Yeah. That's it.
And yeah, yeah, you're just mad.My stomach hurts.
All this trouble just because I didn't get pregnant.
I don't understand why do I haveto be traumatized each month

(01:33):
because I didn't have a little alien growing inside?
Me. It's like the universe is trying
to convince you that having a baby would be great.
Sometimes I think that it's by it's working.
By pointing out the fact that you're not having a baby is a is
fucking with. You Oh my God, you know that

(01:55):
some women don't have a period until like.
Who are these women? And when 'cause after you have a
baby, a lot of times you won't have your period for a while,
but especially if you're breastfeeding, like I know
someone who didn't have they, they didn't stop breastfeeding
until their baby was like a yearor so and they didn't have a
period. That's two years without a

(02:15):
period. Can you imagine two years?
That's amazing. I was actually trying to figure
out so like how long does the body produce milk?
As long as the child's drinking it.
OK, but like. Or somebody's drinking it.
As long as someone is suckling from your teeth.

(02:36):
That that's literally the activation of it.
It's. OK, well, I mean the activation
is being pregnant. You you can't produce the milk
without that. Although there have been, I have
heard of women who were not pregnant who were able to
stimulate their memories or whatever.

(02:59):
Whatever. Milk to breastfeed a baby like
but that would be. Just like in The Boys.
Well, not that intense, but because they were like, but
maybe if they had the baby with them a lot like there have been
stories of like women who like adopted or something like that
who were able to breastfeed and like enough.

(03:22):
That show I was watching on Hulu.
The Polyamory family. Your favorite show?
So what did did? One of the wives in the the
group, the polycube or polycube or whatever they call
themselves, she had had a baby about a year before or I think

(03:43):
the baby is a year or so old. And then the new wife who just
had a baby, she was trying to see if she could like do some
work to get her milk to start flowing again so she can help
breastfeeding. It didn't work, but it is
something to do now. I'm, I'm curious and I have to
look up if you could do that, ifyou could stimulate your gland,

(04:07):
the milk glands if you have never had a baby.
What with like electroshock, like how do you what do you mean
stimulate your glands? Why, why, Why would you be
shocking your boobs? Because it's, it's shocking your
body to have a baby. Your body is in shock, right?
Like when a baby is going in there, your body is in shock and

(04:31):
that's why it's reacting in extreme ways.
Like now your body is producing all of these hormones and your
feet is swelling and your nipples are rigid and everything
is shocking because of this element that's growing inside of
you. This.
Technically, yes, your body is in shock, but there's nothing.

(04:54):
There's no electric shocks happening to the body to.
Folks, where's the lie? The It's just the hormones
signal to your memories or whatever they're called to
produce milk. But even then, sometimes you
could be pregnant and push the baby out and not be able to

(05:14):
produce milk as well for whatever reason.
So our bodies just are are interesting things that anything
could happen. So sometimes they like I guess
with the women who have not had a baby or not or did not push
the baby out to start breastfeeding.
I feel like it has to be something like an extreme
reaction from your body because I like, I would still, if you

(05:39):
all know, please let us write itand tell us.
If somebody has never had a baby, would it be possible due
to their constant close proximity with an infant, would
they be able to produce milk? Because the thing with like with
babies, when they cry, that's when you know usually you'll

(05:59):
start leaking or the milk will start coming.
Out. Really.
Is that true? Yeah, it triggers the body.
The sound of A and and that's why cats mimic the sounds of
crying babies. So in theory, a woman could
leak. No, no.

(06:20):
From the sound of a. Cat, I don't think I've ever.
Heard, that's why I that's why there are such things as cat
ladies. That is the most ridiculous
conspiracy theory. I don't think it's ridiculous at
all. That is a cross cats do.

(06:41):
Mimic the sound of crying babiesin order to get attention.
This is why they're fucking nefarious and I don't respect
them or like them. A cat are two different things.
No, I I know their. Body is not going to react in
the same way 'cause they're completely different species.
Why would you start leaking for a cat?
You can't feed the cat with yourmilk.

(07:03):
And then I hope nobody has ever tried doing that.
But cats, do you like milk? Who?
Nobody said that. That is a false thing.
You're not actually supposed to cats.
Cats like cream. You're not supposed to give cats
milk it. I don't know how that.
Cat foods, everything around me,cream get the money.
Dollar dollar bill, y'all. That is a myth that yes, people

(07:26):
do give a. Saucer of milk.
They do give cats milk, but you're not supposed to only.
Things that are supposed. To drink milk that you're giving
those to the cats are the cows. But just the same way humans
shouldn't be drinking cow milk like cross species milking is
not good for you, so you wouldn't shouldn't do that for

(07:49):
your cats. Get them from fucking tuna and
call it a day. I don't know where this this.
I don't know how or why, becauseobviously this was a extremely
well thought, well known thing all all of our lives.
It wasn't until I think I was when I became vegan, when I was
like, people would just be debunking all these things that

(08:09):
I would be finding out because Iwas like learning more about
milk except and stuff like that.But yeah, you're not supposed to
get cats milk, so please don't do that.
Interesting. Well, you learn something new
everyday. Shit spread around your house.
Yeah, cat shit. Yeah, just no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no. Catch it.

(08:31):
Maybe that'll be like. Are you ready to get into this
episode? Sure, let's do a little bit of
pop culture segment known as poptopics.
When you want a hot meal. We've got a.
Big deal. What are you gonna pick pop
topics? It's an avocado.

(08:55):
Are you gonna do that every timenow with this avocado?
Is that an eraser by the? Way No, it's not OK.
It's just an avocado. Oh, OK.
It's another. I don't even get this reference.
You don't remember that little vine or whatever that was.
No, I didn't. I I wasn't on.
Vine, but it like it just went viral.
It was it. Was it on Tau?

(09:17):
It was a few years ago where like these parents.
Had to be more than a few years.Ago, well, probably like 10
years ago, probably, yeah. But these parents, like they
were filming giving their son who's probably like maybe no
more than 5, giving him presents, whether it was
Christmas, his birthday or whatever.
And they were pulling a prank onhim to see how he was going to

(09:38):
react, right? And, and I guess they were like,
oh, let's wrap up this avocado. And but when he pulled it out,
he was so excited and was like, it's an avocado.
Now imagine giving your child food and them being excited.
That's a cool thing that he wasn't being like an asshole
about it. Like what the fuck you giving me

(09:59):
an avocado for? That's the part where it was
like cute. And that's why it's there's the
test of time. Now, now I do wanna have a kid
so that I could film them receiving gifts and then the
reaction of whether or not they're grateful.

(10:20):
You know what I mean? Well, that was what everybody
was saying. Like he was grateful regardless
of what it was. Yeah, he was grateful.
And that is something that we should all learn to be.
Grateful that's that's good parenting.
Right there, teaching. Your children to be grateful for
whatever the fuck you get. But I do still believe that if
you are a child and you do not like something or a person,

(10:43):
whatever your ages, that you canbe grateful.
And also saying, oh, this would not be something that I
generally like. This is not something that I'm
necessarily interested into. However, I am so thankful for
you for thinking about me in this time.
So I don't think that you shouldjust have to be forced to like

(11:03):
something because then you neveryou're going to keep terrible
shit. However, the point.
Is that this is very true the. Point is to be grateful that
someone thought about you and said, like, I want to get you
something. This is something I thought you
would like, whatever the case may be.
And you are appreciative of thatwhile also saying, you know,
this is not actually something I'd like, but I'm so grateful

(11:25):
for you for getting this for me.Thank you so much because I
think that is a way to keep yourself being kind.
How do you go about teaching a child all that?
That's very nuanced. It is, but I think that's like
OK, the other day I saw this. To not like something, but don't
say that you don't like it, but to convey that you don't like

(11:47):
it, but that you are grateful. The other day I saw this video
of these parents were surprisingtheir son with an actual like
motocross type of little bike. Whatever.
Sure. And what they gave him initially
was a helmet. No, no, they gave him like a toy
one, OK, and but it wasn't the color that he it was in red and

(12:09):
he liked the blue one or whatever, right.
So when they gave it to him, he was like so excited.
He was like, you don't thank youso much.
And the mom asked him because she already knew.
She was like, well, is that the color that you would like?
And he was like, no, this isn't the color that I would I would
want, but thank you so much. Like that is it's simple.
It's that simple. He was excited.

(12:30):
He was thankful. He was still like, this is such
a great thing that you thought, you know that I like this thing.
Like, OK, I have gotten so much Harry Potter shit.
Everyone knows I love Harry Potter, right?
We're not talking about the turf, but we're just talking
about the the brand, right? Everybody knows I love this.
So I get a lot of Harry Potter themed paraphernalia throughout

(12:52):
the. Years even.
I've probably given you something that was Harry Potter
themed, I think, like a Fanny pack of something.
Yes, you did get and you got andthen I will say I love what
yours was great because it was Gryffindor, which is my house.
Love Gryffindor, right. But I have gotten Hufflepuff
stuff. I have gotten Slytherin stuff,
I've gotten Ravenclaw, I've gotten random things from Harry

(13:13):
Potter. Do I?
If someone gave when someone gave me a Hufflepuff scarf, I'm
like, thank you so much. Now the Hufflepuff is not my
house, but I appreciate this so much because regardless.
I'm going to need to see documentation.
You know, I don't think that you're Gryffindor, but that's
neither here nor there. We we got other stuff to talk

(13:34):
about. However, it's the fact that you
thought about me, you got me this things, you know, it's
something I like. All right, People who've gotten
me chocolates that I didn't like, but they knew I liked
chocolates. It's just the thought.
It's really the thought that counts.
But and also I have learned it is much better to tell the
person that this is. Thank you so much.

(13:55):
But this is not something I would necessarily go for instead
of like when I was younger and Iused to be scared to say it
because I was scared that the adults were going to yell at me,
which has which happened before when I was like, actually like,
thank you. But now I really don't.
This is not my thing. So I used to be like, yeah,
sure. But then I would end up with
like shit that I did not like you lost.

(14:17):
You spent your money on it, but I'm never going to use it.
And we end up like throwing it out because I did not like this.
So there's a way of having. It's both, but it is a part of.
Now see, I go the other way withit.
I don't say anything because I think that you getting something

(14:38):
that I do not like is a kind of punishment for you, because now
you have to walk around the world thinking that I enjoyed
that thing that I'm never going to use.
That's pointless and stupid. It's a pointless and stupid
thing. It is not a punishment for
anyone else but you. No, it's not a.

(15:00):
Punishment. It's not a punishment because.
I'm not using the you're. Never going to use it but like
what is the point I might. Throw it away.
I don't. Know and then you're going to
continue getting stupid gifts from that.
It's better to say I just this is not something I am into or I
like or I'm going to use versus just like unless it's like from
like your mom because like they're always going to get you

(15:23):
random crap like that dress. That was the other day, a little
Boo moo. That's nothing, something I
would wear necessarily outside, but I'm like whatever, my mom
gave it to me. That was a that was a gift.
She gave it to me. I forgot what it was for, but
she it was probably like what myevery time I see my mom she I
leave with some kind of something.
The last time it was a bunch of sports bras and socks and

(15:43):
underwear. Used sports bras and socks and
underwear that would not I thinkno, they were just they were new
new sports projects. OK, but like about.
To say like Hammy, Downs are a different story.
Like there's nothing wrong with Hammy.
No, but whatever. There's nothing wrong Hammy
downs. That's fine.
But like there are certain things your your mom or your dad

(16:06):
or whatever they're going to give you that you may not
necessarily use or like, but you're going to take it, right?
But for other things, like if she asks me, hey, do you like
so? And so I'm going to be very
clear. I do not like this because this
is the thing. If I tell Susan I like something
one time, I'm going to get that thing for the rest of my life.
I'm going to get some variety ofthat thing for the rest of my

(16:27):
life. So you've got to be clear.
You could not be around the Bush.
You can be grateful, but also acknowledge like actually this
is a type of thing that I would prefer to get so that you're not
throwing out. You're wasting her money and
going to be getting something else.
So that is the story of the avocado.

(16:47):
OK then. Now let us get into the actual
stories that we have this week. Where are we starting?
So we have first we have an update little Nas X.
OK. We're going to start off with
him, so tests have confirmed or sorry, back it up.

(17:11):
We talked last week about how little Nas X seem to be under
some sort of drug induced psychosis or whatever because he
was walking around the streets of California in his white
underwear and white cowboy bootstalking to people about like.

(17:32):
Going to a going. To a party and there was this
whole thing he ended up getting arrested because when police
were called to I guess help him or whatever, help him, he like
resisted arrest and I think he swung at them and stuff like
that yeah, so. Charged with battery.
He had 4 counts. 4 counts for. Assault and battery from a

(17:52):
officer, which you know, is obviously very big deal.
Yeah, these are felonies are abilities.
Yes, so the tests have confirmedthat he was not under the
influence of drugs or alcohol during this situation and that
he apparently suffered A psychotic episode.

(18:14):
Now the thing that is fucked up about this to me is that they
still have him this they are still charging him.
They haven't dropped the chargeswith this.
And that really sucks because hehad a mental, he's having some
sort of mental breakdown. So in these moments, it
shouldn't have been the police that picked him up.

(18:35):
It should have been a mental health division or whomever to
get him and get him to the help he needs.
And whether that would have beena rehab if he if it had been
drugs or alcohol rehab, if not some sort of, you know,
rehabilitation, a mental rehabilitation center.
But This is why people are always like defund and abolish

(18:59):
the police because you're not helping.
What is if he like, I'm going tobe optimistic and say that it's
very likely that even if he goesto court with this, they will be
it'll be cancelled out or whatever, dismissed or dropped,
dismissed and dropped. But what would be the benefit of

(19:22):
this young man who's only 26? What is the benefit of him going
to prison? He did not hurt anyone.
He did not hurt himself. He reacted erratically towards
the police. By the end of the day, nobody
was hurt. So him facing years and years in
prison because of a mental breakdown that no one got hurt

(19:43):
and is crazy to me. It is crazy.
It is crazy. I was just thinking that I hope
like that the battery charges get like lessened or maybe at
the very least like 'cause the justice system is fucked up,

(20:04):
that he could get like parole, community service or something
like that. Like nothing hard.
Nothing like hard. Hard present to me is for people
who are doing violent acts or acts that are harming the people
around them. He had a mental break, he had a

(20:25):
he had a psychotic episode. Mental health is extremely real
and very much like anybody can. This could happen to anybody.
Yeah. You know, like when you have a
lot of pressure and stress and who knows what unforeseen forces

(20:50):
that are in his mind or in his brain or in his life right now.
And all of that weighing on him must have snapped something.
And he went on and did what he did.
Well, it's unfortunate and I hope that he gets some help for
that. I said it like it was more

(21:15):
coming. I don't there was.
Nothing else. Well, his father, Robert
Stratford, he said that, you know, he went to visit him in
jail and that all he could do was just cry because he was just
so emotional about seeing his child like that.
But he, in this interview, he's his father said that the

(21:36):
pressure of fame, his personal responsibilities have been
really weighing on him. He's the main provider for his
family. And he's also been trying to
help his mother, who he's talkedabout has she struggles with
addiction. So I can only imagine really

(21:57):
what that what that's like. He's only 26, you know, like
that is. Still, that's a lot of that's a
lot of pressure to put on somebody that young.
And he's been in the limelight since 2018.
So 2018 to now, what is that? What are we in 2025?
Yeah, 2025, eight to five is 7 years.

(22:24):
Yes. No, 2018 18 -, 2020 five 5 -, 3
is or 5 - 8 is 3 and 2 - 11 No, that's too much.
Why am I? Why?
Is it? I'm pretty sure it's seven

(22:44):
years. Maybe it's 7, 181918192012228
years or 8 years. I was going to say 8 years but I
thought it was that it would have been off.
But either way, we we were communications majors.
Yeah, we we didn't go to school for math.
I very famously told a lie to myprofessor in order to get him to

(23:05):
give me AC. Oh.
Yeah, I communicated that lie very well though.
We did. You got out.
And to be fair, I didn't know itwas a lie until later on when I
found out that I wasn't the first generation to graduate
from college. Shout out to my grandmother.

(23:27):
But. Late in life.
So he's been dealing with these things with the fame and
supporting his family since 2018.
So, you know, it's just, it's sad.
Little Nasdaq's he put out when he got out of jail, he was out
on a $75,000 bail. And he said that the experience

(23:50):
was terrifying, but that he was going to be all right.
If he's convicted, he faces up to five years in prison.
I think that this is a situationwhere you just need to get him
whatever mental help is requiredis that makes mandated court
mandated therapy. You know what Wellness things

(24:12):
even just give him community service.
That's fine. But this should not be a
situation where you're locking him up just for shits and gigs.
Like to make an example. If Kanye West can stay out of
jail all of this time, there's no reason why Lil Nasak should
beat the jail. And that motherfucker did Nazi

(24:34):
adjacent shit. So.
And Jay Versace, you remember Jay Versace first came got big
with like doing the videos wherehe was like eating and like
walking down the street. He he became popular I would say
maybe around 2018-2019 but now he is a producer.
If you probably saw him maybe ifyou you would recognize him.
But he tweeted out along with the article about Little Nas X's

(25:01):
not have about the IT being a psychotic episode, but just a
reminder that this can happen toanyone.
Stress and trauma overload can send your brain into a dreamlike
state, and you could lose partial control of your actions
and your mind. If it's something that's
weighing on you heavily, please take steps to anchor yourself.
And this is very true because people are going through things

(25:23):
every day and sometimes it gets to be too much and you could end
up in a situation where you are,you know, you're not behaving in
ways that you might want. So people when they're dealing
with mental health issues, they deserve grace and mercy and, you

(25:44):
know, just kindness and love. Like, get him help.
Although there were people who were saw a little Nasdaqs on the
street and we're doing little videos with him on TikTok
instead of saying like, hey, maybe I should take you
somewhere. Maybe I can get you help or
whatever. So maybe it's society that's
sick. I mean, I wouldn't be, I

(26:04):
wouldn't be a bad country. No seriously, this country has a
built in mental illness. Yes it does.
We are a cursed country. Yeah, we suck as a country.
We're all mentally ill and, and I don't even mean no divergent,
I mean we're all mentally fuckedup.

(26:25):
You have to be mentally ill to live in this country because
nothing about it makes sense. It really doesn't.
There's nothing about it that makes.
Sense there's so many paradoxes.And most of them are bullshit.
And so you are constantly forcedto live within a sense of

(26:46):
cognitive dissonance, which eventually drives you crazy,
which is like there was a book that I have here, I think it's
called A Peculiar Man. And it's about this Nigerian.
It's a basically, it's a fiction, but like semi
autographical. This Nigerian man is writing
about how his mother after they moved here, she started having
like mental health issues and stuff like that.

(27:08):
And I think about it's not to say that people in other
countries do not have mental illness, they have 100% do.
Right, mental illness is cross universe all things.
But I do believe that when the amount of people that you learn
about who come here and then allof a sudden, like, it seems like
they're having such a deterioration in their mental

(27:30):
health, they're going off the rails in ways that they never
were before. And I think that is directly
correlated to what life is like in America.
Like, there's a reason why this country is the way it is.
It's not about immigrants or gaypeople or feminism or anything
like that. It is that our society was built

(27:53):
on bullshit and we are all trying to live within those
parameters, but it doesn't work because it is not a normal way
to live. This is why we need a natural
disaster to happen to wipe this country out and so that we can
start fresh. That disaster is already His

(28:14):
name is Trump. But it's not doing it.
Wasn't natural. Yes, that's a That's not a
natural disaster, it's a disaster.
It's just just a disaster. I'm talking about a flood or
zombie apocalypse. You know that.
Or an asteroid. If something like that happens,
you are not automatically spared.

(28:36):
No, I don't think I'm going to be spared.
What makes you think that I'm going to survive anything?
You want that to happen, but youdon't plan on surviving, I mean,
So what is the point, I mean. You could plan on surviving.
Will you survive? Probably not like I can I have a
go bag. I have like AI have two

(28:59):
emergency kits and rations and shit what rations What what like
that that a few cans of soup. You have one can of terrible
chili in. There, it's not terrible chili.
It is not you're talk, you look.Listen, we're going to eat that
chili at some point. You.

(29:22):
I don't even know where you got that chili from.
I've never seen it from before in my life.
It's called wolf chili. Wolf chili like it's from Big
Mouth or something. There's nothing wrong with wolf
chili. All right, if it's at only time
I would bear to eat a chili froma can is if it was Hormel that
was like that would be the bare minimum.
And even that I'd be like, why would we be doing this?

(29:42):
There's no reason make you. It's so easy to make.
All right, when the rapture happens and you're left on this
earth with nothing but wolf chili, we'll see.
We will see. No Uber Eats, no DoorDash, no
fucking nothing. No, just salad.
You can't cook. Your own food in the apocalypse.

(30:03):
No con Ed or a gnat grid, so you.
Can build a fire and cook some shit over it.
You could build a fire. You can build a fire.
Sure, you're going to build a fire.
I will, yes. Without a lighter.
That's why you have to use Flintand sticks and rocks.
Do you want a voicemail? Do you actually do?

(30:24):
Well, actually I did not make itto eagle cells, of course.
She did because that would have required work.
It just acts a lot of you this, it's very, very much like hands
on, let's do shit. And I'm like, I don't want to do

(30:47):
any of this anyhow. But that's neither here nor
there. You got to earn badges like shut
the fuck up. Helping people across the street
like such a nerd. Anyhow, continue.
Where are we? Where are we going now?
All right. So those were up to our updates.
We have some entertainment things that we wanted to share.

(31:09):
Sure. First up there is a new series
that is going to be premiering on YouTube in a few weeks.
It is called the Ebony Witch. Now this was my first time
hearing about this, but this look, this is only four seconds

(31:31):
so I believe we can share it. I don't know if it has any sound
really, but. I think this is independently.
Owned it is. It is independently owned.
So nobody got rights. The Here's the creators Twitter
page. So if you want to find more

(31:51):
information Poppin Poppin the Ebony witch and you can see it
on October 4th on YouTube. I'm looking forward to seeing it
because first of all, she's black and she's a witch.
What is there not to fuck you love?

(32:13):
Here is her the YouTube page or their YouTube page?
I don't know what their their pronouns are, but they have a
lot of cool little clips here for you to watch.
I'm looking to look forward to this.
I don't know what it's going to look like.

(32:34):
Oh, there's a little teaser trailer.
Let's see what this says. I mean, you know, you're not
showing it on the screen. I'm not.
No, you're not, No. I did not know that.
Yeah. Anyway, there's a little black

(32:56):
cat. All right, all right.
The animation looks very top notch.
Yeah, I love that. It looks like lacks a Daisy,
which is another independent animation.
I forget the name of the creators.
It's about like turn of the century anthropomorphic cats,

(33:20):
gangsters. And it's it's it's very, very
fun, whimsical. But I support independent
animators, especially the ones on YouTube.
I mean, busy pop started out on YouTube and now look at them.
They got bought up by Amazon andnow has been hotel and a hell of

(33:42):
a boss is coming to Amazon Prime.
All right, yeah, I didn't realize cuz I remember I used to
watch that show on YouTube but Ionly ever really paid attention
to the name and then when it gotbig again on.
What hell of a boss. Hell of a boss and but the has
been hotel before it became wenton TV.
It had a pilot that was on YouTube.

(34:03):
Yeah. So I remember watching it there.
Yes. So it's like we love our
independent people. Bring out your stuff, create and
put things out 'cause you never know who's going to be watching.
You never know. You never know homie.
All right, A not so in the Creator is his name Mr.

(34:28):
Warburton. Yes.
OK, Mr. Warburton has announced that code name Kids Next Door is
getting a revival. In a sense.
They have a teaser script for Galactic Kids Next Door that

(34:48):
they presented at the Houston Nostalgia Con, which I OK.
Now. Do we have too many cons because
of nostalgia Con? I didn't even know that was a
thing. They're First off we've had.
We've way been since. Too many cons.
Too many cons. I knew we had too many cons when

(35:09):
we ended up going to one in New Jersey.
But that was a gaming. Con.
I know, but and it. Took so much time to find.
Out. I'm not saying anything is bad
with that con. I just know that once you have a
con in New Jersey, that's just means that there are so many God
damn conventions. There are conventions they're

(35:34):
not even in. They're not even New York
proper. They're in.
They're in Jersey. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, like that's all I'm saying.
I'm not saying that the con itself was a lot of fun, and we
had a lot of fun and I had a lotof fun.
I beat you in Goldeneye. That was a lot of fun.
And I got to play on and Nintendo 64, so like it.
It was very nostalgic, but now we have nostalgic con.

(35:58):
I would say I would go to nostalgic con.
I would like to see what they got going.
On I mean if they have stuff like this, like kids next door,
stuff like that would be cool. Yeah, because I think usually
you think Comic Con would have all the big A.
Little bit of background becauseI know about this.
Kids Next Door was a Cartoon Network show that aired in the,
I want to say the early to mid aughts.

(36:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there was spec, there was a
there was intended to be a continuation of the series with
the intergalactic K next door. And they even set it up in the
show proper. The the the the show was very,

(36:39):
you know, it was very fun, funnyand fast in action.
But it had a serialized nature to it.
Yeah, it did. And it set up a lot of different
plots that got paid off throughout the series.
When it dropped on HBO Max, thatwas one of the first shows that
I binge watched the entirety through that and Billy and
Mandy. Billy and Mandy.

(37:01):
Billy and Mandy is sold so dark anyhow.
But that's not we're talking about kids next door.
Kid next door. They did set up a galactic kids
next door premise so that if they were to have a
continuation, then like it wouldbe a natural like ease into the

(37:23):
next stage. Yeah, of of show.
And they've been trying to get this off the ground for years,
but unfortunately, fucking Zazlov has no interest in
anything that has to do well. Fucking Cartoon Network execs
before Zazlov had had no interest in serialized cartoons

(37:46):
or animation. Or animation in general, because
like Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network has gone to shit
in the last like few years. Like it that that could be a
whole episode in and of itself, me going off on the downturn of
Cartoon Network. Yeah, yeah, well, let's see what

(38:10):
Mr. Warburton has to say about the galactic kids in store.
We're always trying to get Warner Brothers interested in
just saying like, hey, look at this great thing we've got.
We've got a lot of people reallyinterested in it.
So we wrote the little teaser script.
I did have some. I thought it was going to have a
screen here because our our super director Guy Moore did all
these awesome drawings and little animatics to go with
this. So we're going to have to do

(38:32):
something online later with thatto share you the visuals because
the visuals. Are so good, but.
Instead, you'll just have to imagine.
I love this person groaning I'm.Going to read the descriptions
of what's happening. They're going to do the voices,
yeah. And it's going to be really.
Fun. Can you recognize any of the
people on stage? So.

(38:53):
No this. Is really exciting.
Because this camera sucks. This had.
Not long. Ago Smash cut to the exterior of
the K&D tree house on a dreary, cloudy day.
The World Shakes has the voice of #4 shouts.
No, there's still my underwear. Cut to the interior of #2's

(39:13):
hanger, the place is a disaster packed solid with crash and
damaged 2 by 4. Tech ships of all shapes and
sizes prepare equipment if have eaten.
Food littered is littered everywhere #4 stomps across the
din of drills and saws. I know it's you #2 so come on up
and hand them over. #2 Pops out of the gash in the hull of a
ship wearing a garish 2 by 4 tech welding mask.

(39:34):
Startling #4 Two pushes the maskback up, revealing his face.
He looks tired, miserable, and he's characteristically scratchy
and short with his friend. What's?
My OK like that. See, I'm color me intrigued.
But of course, Zazloff is never going to go for this.
And this is bombs me out. You said Warner Brothers.

(39:57):
Yeah, I know Zazloff. Zazloff is the is the big head
honcho of Warner Brothers. Got it, got it.
Got it, Got it. Yeah, and he fucking hates
anime. Why do you think there's no
animation on HBO Max? You know what?
I've never really thought about that.
Yeah, they they did like it. They when HBO Max started, they

(40:18):
had all the cartoon. Yeah, they had all the Cartoon
Network shows. And then over the last, like,
few years, they purged everything with the exception of
Adventure Time, because they're still making money off of
Adventure Time and they're stillcoming out with Fiona and Cake.
So they're doing a Season 2. Yeah, you didn't know that.

(40:41):
I didn't know that, but Speakingof season 2, King of the Hill.
I'll tell you what. They're getting a season 2
They've the episodes have allegedly already been recorded
and set for A20262026 release. Here's if you have not watched

(41:04):
these the new King of Hill. This is the updated you know,
family. Bobby is all grown up.
Everybody is older. Everyone's older, they're all
grown up, but I think that everybody, I, I do feel like
they did a good job keeping the.Spirit of the show.

(41:26):
Original Show. Characters, yeah.
Personalities like Hank is just as like progressive as he was
when Bobby was younger. Because I think the thing about
King of Hill that I always really appreciated was like,
yes, you have this George Bush lovin Texan who's like died in

(41:47):
the wool American, right? But also he was very much like
open minded, even though he's very by the book of things that
open mindedness didn't was for like different people, different
cultures. And of course, Peggy is like,
yeah. He was traditional, but not
rigid. Exactly.

(42:08):
Traditional, but not rigid, not racist, homophobic, xenophobic,
etcetera. It was just like, I love Texas,
I love America, I love Alamo beer, and I love my family.
And like, these are the things that I know how things are
supposed to be done. So this is it.
But I think that they've been able to keep that in the same

(42:29):
vein this new season. Like at one point Hank was
talking about pronouns, but not like in a weird way it was still
like. Yeah, it was like, are we all
gendered? Like I don't know which one, but
like those things, I think when to me, I would hope that the
people who are watching him in the like when it first came out,

(42:52):
like the show would be able to maybe get back to their senses.
Cause like the fact that being Republican for such a long part
of our lives didn't 100% equate with somebody being like racist
that you would assume because obviously, but it's a lot.

(43:13):
It was just like, OK, maybe you're fiscally conservative or
whatever. Republicanism was an ideal as
opposed to whatever a entire identity that is enwrapped and
enraptured with a whole bunch ofvarious because.
Now they're not Republicans, they are just Trump errs, right?

(43:36):
Is the difference right. And I feel like for now, I would
say in the first season, unless I missed something, they didn't,
they didn't put touch on politics, but they never really
touched on politics outside of like Arwen politics.
Yeah, except had. George Bush, Yeah, They had one
episode where it was it, and it was more about voting than it

(43:56):
was about politics. And they had an episode of Jimmy
Carter was in there, which is hilarious.
Like why and how? And again, it wasn't even about
the politics of Jimmy Carter, itwas just that Jimmy Carter was a
part of the plot as a person andas an ex president as opposed
to, you know, talking about whatever his politics.

(44:19):
Was, yeah. So I feel like I appreciate the
comedy. Now, there have been some people
have taken issue with the creators because of their
treatment of, oh, John Redcorn'scharacter.
It's John. I think it's Josh Johnson, John,
John, John, Josh Johnson, I think.

(44:42):
I just literally, because we were just watching the show so I
saw his name. I'm trying to remember voiced
by. Where do you see that one?
Voiced. By Victor Aaron.
Jonathan, Josh. Jonathan Josh.
Yeah, because his original, his original voice actor also died,

(45:03):
and then he was replaced with Jonathan Josh.
Yeah, and then Jonathan, Josh just passed away too.
Unfortunately well murdered. Well, murdered, yeah.
Sorry. Unfortunately, but I think that
they, at least in this John Mccoy's character, was still
being given the respect that he was getting before.

(45:29):
So it's just a very interesting way of like seeing how times
have changed, but like they've still stayed who they are, which
I think is important. I love Bobby's life and who he
is. It's fits very much in to who we
would have thought he was going to be growing up.
Everybody like Connie and what's, what is Dale's son's

(45:51):
name? Joseph.
Joseph. Yeah.
So yeah, everybody is basically who they are.
Boomhauser is still. Boomhauer.
It's Boomhauer. It's Boomhauer.
I thought it was Boomhauser. No.
I I've been calling that in my head.
You've been watching it as long as I've been watching.
Yeah, and I've been saying Boomhauser.
Boomhauer. OK, great.

(46:12):
Well, everybody is who they are,so I'm looking forward to the
next season. I thought this previous season
was good. It was very short, yeah,
compared to the old seasons. Good job.
And it's unfortunate that Dale'svoice actor.
Well, a lot of the voice actors have died.
Tom Petty, Brittany Murphy. Jonathan.

(46:34):
Josh. Jonathan or Jonathan.
Josh. Jonathan, Josh.
Jonathan. Josh Something Hardwick.
Chris Hardwick. No, not Chris Hardwick.
Matt. Matt Hardwick.
Something Hardwick. It's something Hardwick.
Jonathan Hardwick. Johnny Hardwick.

(46:57):
Johnny Hardwick. Yeah.
Johnny Hardwick For Dale for Dale Grybow.
Yeah. So.
But they've made it work. It's hard to replacing those
people, but you know, we have it.
We didn't get to see Luann in this.
No, we didn't. Season, so who knows what
they'll do with her voice, but hopefully if they have somebody
do it, they do a good job. All right so moving on to some

(47:26):
movie stuff. Have you heard of this movie,
The Long Walk? I literally watched the trailer
right before we started recording.
So well, also same. So I'm also so true.
Folks, where's the lie? So the long walk, I have been

(47:46):
hearing about this movie right? But I and I think I've even seen
some like stills, but I did not realize what this movie was
about until we watched this trailer.
Wait, you saw that picture and you didn't think that was a
horror movie? No, I thought it was a war
movie. Let's I'm going to show you that

(48:08):
you all the picture because a lions gate is apparently hosting
A screening for a long walk where they're putting customers
on a treadmill faster than 3 miles that they had to walk on
the whole time movie for three mph.
And if you stop, you'll be escorted out of the movie right.
So this is now. Just imagine being able to like,

(48:37):
walk. Like just signing up to walk for
an length of a movie. But this is I'm I'm let me look
at the runtime for the movie, the long walk runtime.
So when I saw one hour 48 minutes.

(48:58):
So I feel like one hour, 48, three minutes I've walked an
hour, and 48 I've walked two hours before.
More than that without stopping 3.
MPH. I don't know without stopping
because usually if I'm walking that long I'll probably be
lollygagging and getting a beverage snack.

(49:22):
So I don't know about not stopping.
Now the question is, what about to pee?
You better fucking. That be I can't watch.
Waddle you better waddle while you fucking.
Waddle while you. It literally and they literally
in the movie they say like they'll give you a warning,
they'll give you 3 warnings, youget 3 warnings before they shoot

(49:43):
the shit out of you. Now when we watch this trailer,
I'm going to tell you, when I saw the pictures from this
movie, I thought that it was a wartime movie.
I thought it was like, what did you just put?
In your mouth? Nothing.

(50:04):
Why don't you just put? What is this thing?
Nothing I don't know. Is this what you just put in
your mouth? No.
What did you just grab off the table?
Nothing in your mouth. Nothing.
We're talking about the long walk.
Oh God, don't pick that up and put it in your mouth either.
I'm not putting anything in my mouth other than this beverage.

(50:30):
We're not sponsored by Tito's. We should be.
We should be. OK, So when I saw this movie
pictures, I thought it was a wartime movie.
OK, because and I will let me put this picture up so you can
know why First Army people in their army gear right over here.

(50:50):
They're not. Well, yeah.
They're they have tanks, OK, like this.
I thought, in my opinion, what Ithought this was going to be
about was it was some kind of like walk to their base for
basic training or they're walking through the the fucking
forest 'cause I thought it was like a it looks like an old tiny

(51:12):
movie. So I was thinking it was like
Vietnam War or something like that.
No clue that it is a dystopian movie where the people have to
walk for all this time. Very.
It's giving me purge mixed with Hunger Games.

(51:33):
Yeah, it's apparently it's some sort of contest where?
Where they have to walk. The last person to survive wins.
Exactly. And so, of course, let me find
the people who are actually in this movie.
Stephen King is This is a Stephen King movie.
Yes, and you know the movies he he does are always crazy.

(51:55):
And this comes from a novel which I would actually like to
read the novel. It's crazy.
To me that Stephen King is stillmaking novels.
But I don't know how, but this could have been our old novel.
Maybe. Who knows when he wrote it,
'cause it's, you know, he just has a bunch of stuff.
But the people in the cast, the there are a few people that I

(52:20):
recognize, David Johnson's one, but I just don't know from
where. The other black guy, Tut Neot,
don't know him as well. Ben Wang.
Charlie Plummer, I don't know where he's from, but I know he's
from somewhere. Oh, Mark Hamill's in there.

(52:42):
I didn't realize that. Judy Greer.
Judy Greer I love. Judy Greer from Archer and from
Arrested Development. So there's a lot of like
seasoned and it's a mixture of seasoned and newer actors.
But this is what like the storyline says in the near

(53:03):
future where America has become a police state, 100 boys are
selected to enter an annual contest where the winner will be
awarded whatever he wants for the rest of his life.
The game is simple. Maintain a steady walking pace
of four mph. Let's not work 3 miles without
stopping. 3 warnings and you're out permanently so.

(53:27):
You might remember David Johnsonfrom Rye Lane.
Oh, that's where he's from. I like that movie.
Yes, Rye Lane. OK, he was dumb.
Yeah, he was the main character in that movie.
Yeah, yeah, he was the main. Character I would like to watch

(53:48):
or I would like to see this movie but I before I would see
it I want to read the book because I went into Hunger Games
not knowing what it was like I remember like just.
Wait, you went into Hunger Gamesnot knowing what it was?
You didn't read the book first. And that was the first time
because usually, you know, like I am very much like a read the
book first type of person. But it was just my cousin

(54:09):
Celine. Like she was like, oh, I want to
see this movie. I was like, OK, this was like
probably 20, but 1415. So I'm like, yeah, I'll take
you. And let me tell you, when Rude
dies in this movie, I was distraught, OK?
There was nothing that prepared me.

(54:30):
Warning, it's not a this is not,first of all, Hunger Games been
out for a decade plus. You don't know who's seen Hunger
Games and who hasn't. If you haven't seen Hunger Games
and you get spoiled about this, that is a you problem.
Still watch it. It was very good and read the
book 'cause after I watched the movie, it propelled me to read
the books 'cause I was like, I need to know what else goes on,
'cause I need to see the rest ofthese movies.

(54:51):
And I want to be prepared beforeI get in there so I can, like,
you know, not be stressed out the way I was in this movie.
Sure, but looking forward to it.That's a horror movie I'd watch.
The Long Walk. Yeah, I could watch that movie.
It's a good shot. Like it's a simple thing.
It's gonna be kind of gross, butit's not like body horror
because that's the part that I really.

(55:12):
Don't. OK, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So no alien Earth for you. So this was the thing I told you
we could watch Alien Earth. It just has to be during the
day. Well, I mean, just the nature of
who I am and what I do, there's no way that we could watch it
during the day unless it's on a Friday or Saturday.
Yeah, and I'm waiting for the the series is almost over.

(55:34):
I think there's only 8 episodes.I was waiting for all 8 episodes
to be done so that I could just binge it all in in one setting.
You know, they say that binging shows actually makes it less
enjoyable because you remember less about the show.
I don't find that. I don't find that to be true

(55:55):
necessarily. It depends on the level of
engagement that I'm having whileI'm sitting there watching the
show. Like if I'm enthralled, then
yeah, I'll take breaks to like break things up and stuff like
that. It's why it's it's why it's how
I was able to ingest as much of One Piece as I was like during

(56:16):
the a little bit of back story. I hated the idea of long animes.
I only like animes that had a clear beginning and a clear end
that only lasted like 1224 at most, maybe 50 episodes it But

(56:38):
then the pandemic happened. I was trapped in my house.
There was nowhere to go. And I was like, you know what?
It I might, I'm spending all of my time in my house anyway.
I might as well watch One Piece.And so I watched all of One
Piece like from like I had it on24 hours a day, seven days a

(57:00):
week, 365 days out of the year because that's how much content
One Piece has essentially. It has.
It has like it's up to like episode 1100.
Yeah, longest running in me. Something yeah.
And I, I, I was able to because I was gripped by the drama of it

(57:25):
all and the story grabbed me. One Piece is peak fiction.
I was able to ingest all that was being shown to me.
Whereas a show like, I don't know, like I put on King of the
Hill in the background. I'll binge watch that shit and

(57:46):
yeah, maybe like it. It's, it's like comfort baby
food. It's just like if you had cable
and you put on TBS and you watcha bunch of Law and Order Svus
and shit like that. You're not really you're not
really watching it. I'm watching.
It not really. I'm watching it.
You're you're not really watching it.
No, you're not. Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely not. I am.

(58:07):
I guarantee you if there was a Law and Order trivia night you
would not get any fucking pointswhatsoever.
I watch. Law and Order more closely than
I watch. Well, I watch SVU more closely
than I watch Law and Order. OK, so law and order then?
Yeah, you're not watching at all.

(58:29):
But I'm watching it. But it's definitely.
It's more so watching you than any.
Sometimes, like especially if I'm watching it at night, but
then I usually will go back and start off from the last show
that like I remembered watching and I could say like, OK, I know
the plot of what this one was sothat I could be like, Oh, but
then this was what This is why when you, when I do my, you

(58:51):
know, whenever binge re watches of these shows that like some of
them I really like more like thesecond or third time I've may
have seen them 'cause I didn't really pay attention the first
time. And you always get new
information. You always just see new things.
All right, more movie news. Real quick.

(59:11):
Let's get into this little controversy with Snoop Dogg and
Buzz Light lier the Buzz Light lier Light year.
Are you OK? I don't know.
Do you need some water? Maybe I'll just keep drinking
this Cheetos. So yes, Snoop had this to say

(59:36):
about taking his grandson to seethe movie Lightyear, which came
out. I don't know why he's talking
about this now, because this movie came out like 3 years ago,
right? Yeah, but this is what he had to
say about this movie experience.You see, they put it everywhere.

(01:00:01):
Yeah, I took my grandson to see how was the movie with Buzz
Light. Oh, sorry.
Not that one, but. This oh, the new the new Buzz.
Yeah. Like Kiki Palmer's in that
movie, she plays like the daughter.
So we watching it and the lady, which is Kiki's Mama, they move
on into the space years, they move down the line.
They're like and she had a baby.What a woman or my grandson in

(01:00:25):
the middle of the movie, like Papa Snow, how she have a baby
with a woman. She a woman.
I didn't come in for this game watching goddamn movie.
Hey man watch the movie they just said she and she had a
baby. They both women How does she
have a baby? Movie ain't over with.
It's like I'm kidding go to the movies.

(01:00:46):
They're like y'all throwing me in the middle of I don't have an
answer for it. What was it what you tell them?
Watch the movie The Popcorn. You said we don't know.
We don't know. It threw me for a loop.
I'm like, what part of the moviewas this?
These are kids that we have to show that at this age like that.
That part, they're going to ask questions.
Yeah. They are going to ask.

(01:01:07):
I don't have an answer. Yeah.
And I don't even know the answerthat's rehearsed.
What am I supposed to say? Is this is this is this is what
was the lady used to be a did? I got questions now me.
Too. And I was just there to go to
sleep and watch the movie, and they woke me up.
I'm going to. Huh.
They just said that she and she had a baby.

(01:01:29):
How they both women. Oh, man.
Damn. Yeah.
You took popcorn? I never thought I'd see the day
when Snoop officially turned into a boomer.
Well, he's he's at boomer statuslike he, he's, he's an old man
like now he's, he's that's how that's how long hip hop has

(01:01:52):
existed. And that's how long, that's how
old he is, that now he has turned into everybody's
grandfather, like who's just like, I don't understand how to
tell somebody this information about the thing that is pretty
normal now in our society. Do you want to know hard?

(01:02:15):
To explain like like how they have a baby.
I I don't know how the in my answer would be.
I don't know. The movie did not provide me
with that information and it doesn't matter because they're a
family. Boom, easy answer.
Want to know what your grandson is going to have some questions
for for you about one. Why were you walking women

(01:02:41):
through the MTVVMAS with chains on them like they were dogs?
Why did you say that? The homies.
It ain't no fun if the homies can't have none.
And does that mean that grandma was also fucking the homies?

(01:03:05):
Why is your moniker and everything that we know about
you having to deal with weed andbeing high all the time?
Like there's other questions. Are you a pimp?
There's like, are you a drug dealer?
Are you a killer? Are you a gang member?
There's so many other things that you're you should be
concerned about for your son or your grandson.

(01:03:28):
And what pisses me off is that Iwas feeling that that that Snoop
had made it through the nineties, 2000's, the odds.
And now here we are in the 20s where it feels like he is just
was in his like, you know, cool grandpa era.

(01:03:51):
This. We love to see the old men, old
black men are older black men inhip hop, like living their
lives, being great and all that stuff.
Like he's best, He's Martha Stewart, which I always loved.
I thought it was so cute. But then like he performed at
Trump's inauguration, the most recent one, and then everybody

(01:04:13):
was trying to tell us it's chestnut checkers and whatever
bullshit. And now this.
And I'm like, are these talking points at Trump's camp is giving
you to get you to be less liked and lovable or whatever the case
may be? Like if you're in a movie, first
of all, nobody is pushing anything on your child showing a

(01:04:35):
family having a baby. If is it a pushing anything on a
child? When you see a straight couple
with a baby, are they pushing sex and things on your child?
Because clearly they could have questions about that too.
How does this how do they have ababy?
And that question is answered by, well, when the sperm goes

(01:04:56):
into the egg, this is how you have a, the baby comes.
If it's two women or two men, then you can say, well, maybe
they adopted, maybe they had a surrogate, maybe they got a
sperm donor. Whatever the case may be, these
are not hard questions. And if you are concerned about
how to answer them, you could always say, I don't know, after

(01:05:20):
the movie, let's find out. Because then you are fostering a
an environment of curiosity and critical thinking so that your
grandson will grow up using his brain versus just saying shut up
and eat the popcorn because thatis not helpful regardless

(01:05:42):
whether it'd be a straight couple or not.
Like people have babies. And I'm pretty sure if you live
in California, he's probably seen or somebody has a same sex
parent somewhere in his school or something.
And I'm sure he was asking that not because he's so surprised
that two women are married, but he was legitimately unsure of

(01:06:07):
how two women or two men or whomever, how a same sex couple
creates a baby because that is see the young kid.
If he's seeing Buzz Lightyear, he's probably under 13.
Maybe he doesn't understand or know about sex, etcetera and all
that. So he is curious and it is a

(01:06:27):
very simple thing for you to respond and not respond
hatefully on a podcast that all these people around the world
are going to see. It's very simple and very easy.
But he responded because everyone has been obviously

(01:06:52):
outraged or upset about whateveryou know he said.
And so he said he's not homophobic, that he was caught
off guard. Had no answer for my grandson.
All my gay friends know what's up.
They've been calling me with love.
My bad for not knowing the answers for a six year old.
Teach me how to learn. I'm not perfect and I just feel

(01:07:15):
like that is such a bullshit copout answer.
Like it's very simple. Man, this doesn't upset me
because he's an old *** Old *** are gonna old *** He's not.
And he's old and he's What do you mean he's not that old?
How old is he? He's he's old 60s.
He was 18 in the 90s. But the thing about it is he is.

(01:07:39):
He grew up in the 90s. He's 53 years old.
OK, Yeah, he's 53. He has first of all seen, heard,
experienced and lived a whole full life.
There's no way that you could tell me that he is so flummoxed
by the idea of somebody could bein a same sex relationship with

(01:08:04):
a with them having a child cuz he was born in 1971.
The peak love, free love and allthat stuff.
You cannot tell me that him who's a rapper, has traveled the
world, been around all these different places with different

(01:08:26):
people, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, that he has never seen
a same sex couple with a child. If he was 85 years old maybe I
could give him the little leewaybut he has been on some fuck
shit ever since he got came and performed for Snoop or for
Trump. So I don't believe him.

(01:08:48):
I do not believe him. I think that he wanted, for
whatever reason he has decided maybe it's bigger bag to be like
anti people and he's leaning into that and then he wants all
of us to think like he doesn't have critical thinking skills
when that is just not true. I don't think it's as nefarious

(01:09:10):
is that I, I, I think he just had an old moment, but.
I think that it is nefarious anytime someone of privilege
goes on a platform and makes life harder for people whose
lives are already hard. OK.

(01:09:34):
So I don't think that he can getan excuse for being old cuz he's
not that old. 53 is not he's notancient, he's older.
He's not old. 53 is young. Like how many we have 20 years
less than 20 years before we're 53.
Do you think if we're when we're53, we would be saying some

(01:09:55):
bullshit about I don't know how people could have babies with
this their same sex partners? I don't, I don't.
We're not going to be saying specifically that, but I do
think that we'll probably be saying whatever the equivalent
of that is for our generation. He's a different generation.
Do you think but his generation had queerness was a huge thing

(01:10:17):
in the 70s. He was born in 1971.
Queerness was huge at that time,the 80s, the 90's, the 2000s.
He has talked about fucking two women and and watching girls do
shit and all that. So you could be, you can enjoy a

(01:10:39):
homoerotic situation with women,but you can't understand how two
women can have a baby. That Jimmy is just him be.
I can't give him any leeway or give him any kind of benefit of
the doubt because you know better, especially because you
have been living a worldly life.It's not like he was a, he's a

(01:11:01):
90s rapper who kind of has just stayed in California.
He's not really doing much or whatever the case may be.
And this was a question that he decided, he decided to tell us
this. We are not.
No one was going around asking him about what he felt about
women's gay rights, marriage or whatever like that.
He volunteered this information.That's why I give him the sort

(01:11:25):
of benefit is because like he, he clearly didn't see any issue
with this. He thought it was an anecdote.
Like he used it as like a, as like a, as a, as a quick like
jokey sort of anecdote to tell on a podcast.
Just it, just an old *** having an old *** moment.

(01:11:47):
OK, but he was on the L Word. He had a cameo on The L Word.
OK. You know what the L word is?
Yeah, the show, the Showtime show.
About what? About lesbians.
OK, so he was on The L Word, a show about lesbians.
Yeah, that and I, I have not watched all the L Word in some

(01:12:08):
time, but there were definitely episodes in there of people
having babies, whatever the casemay be.
So he was in the show about lesbians.
He's also was in Looney Tunes and Bugs dresses up and as you
know, all the time. So you can't tell me that he you
just can't tell me where he is in a space, especially living in

(01:12:33):
California, being in the entertainment industry and doing
all the things that he does thathe could not explain in a simple
way to his grandchildren or his grandchild, what that was about
and how it worked. That was him being just fucking
an asshole and not recognizing that he could be harming people

(01:12:57):
because he didn't care the same way he didn't care about
performing it that the inauguration I can't give him.
He performed for Trump, so all the benefit of the doubt that I
could have given him before has been washed away because he has
shown his ass to us already. So there's not much else that I
can do to try to give him any sort of benefit of doubt because

(01:13:19):
I think that he just doesn't care.
OK, But you know, he's apologized or whatever.
I think it's probably because hedoesn't want to lose any money,
But I just feel like you should just watch what you say.
Like, how can you be scared to go to the movies?
You're not scared to go to the movies about anything else but a

(01:13:43):
couple having a baby is where you were fucking drawing the
line. Come on, BB, for real?
All right. Are you ready to move on?
Yeah, what are we talking about now?
All right, well, Will Smith, thegreat Willy from Philly.

(01:14:12):
So he has been accused of using AI to he put up a video of his
one of his concerts for his tour.
Oh man, what was it called? It was the tour he did for his

(01:14:32):
new album Based on a True Story.So it started on in the Europe.
It started in Europe July 13th this year and then it should be
concluding. Actually it should be tomorrow,
September 2nd in Paris, France. So this is the video that he is

(01:14:59):
being accused of. What is it called of editing
with or not? I'm putting AI in there.
The pride of the heaven you get to enjoy.
The harder you fall, the higher you saw.
God opens the window when the devil closes the door.

(01:15:20):
Dry your eyes and then you'll find a way out of the badness,
out of the maze and out of the sadness.
And to the rays, the doctors. The nights will turn in the day.
Every storm runs out of the rain.
Hold on. First off, the song is terrible.

(01:15:50):
I thought it was like a gospel song.
I wasn't really sure why. Gospel songs can be terrible
too. I I don't follow the rule of the
Apollo Showtime at the Apollo. It's just because it's a gospel
song doesn't mean that you can'tperform it terribly and you will
get booed for it. I told you that my ex-girlfriend

(01:16:14):
did the amateur amateur night atthe Apollo.
Yeah, you go. No, I didn't.
Why not? She told me that she she did
stand up there and she she did. Well, wow.
But then she did open mic, standup at a mic that I was at and
she did shitty was. She black or white?

(01:16:36):
She was white, OK? That's that's why I was like, I
don't believe you. I don't believe that.
You did Showtime at the Apollo amateur night and you did well
and didn't get booed off stage. Did you touch the wood?
I think Showtime really went down.
They took away the Sandman. So folks have been.

(01:17:01):
Wait, the salmon is not there nomore?
Not the way that he used to be because you remember he used to
come out. Yeah.
With the plume and pulling them off this day.
Yeah. Yeah.
I feel like it's most recently when I've seen, like, I saw a
Showtime, like a amateur night at the Apollo, like a few years
ago with my friend Courtney. Shout out to you, Courtney.
And I didn't see him so and evenwhen remember you used to come

(01:17:26):
on at 1:00 AM, Yes, on the weekends, which I don't even
know if that still happens. With either Steve Harvey or
Monique depending on 1st. It was Steve Harvey and then it
was Monique afterwards. Yeah, but they don't really do
that anymore. No, they don't.
Complete different things. That used to be a Showtime with
the, with the, with the Apollo, with the, with the dancers.

(01:17:46):
Yeah, maybe one of those dancersso bad.
I you wanted to be one of the dancers.
The the the flappers. Yeah, I loved that.
The peak part of the show. That was the peak of the show.
That would got that was what setit off for me.
I I knew like, OK, this is goingto be a good night because we
got look at these fucking dancers.
They looked amazing but either way people have been clowning

(01:18:12):
him online. There's also some shade was
thrown by Green Day. Allegedly they put up a picture
of one of their concerts said don't need AI for our crowds.
But I went and looked this up tosee what whether this was true

(01:18:34):
because this picture I will say when I first saw it, it looked
like AI. So you see how like the hands
here look? That face looks like it's
melting. What's that?
He's white, so. I mean that is true.

(01:18:57):
So it could be either AI or justcaucasity.
But the thing about it is that there's there's a few things
here that were pointed out by snoops that these pictures, the
video and the pictures are from a real concert.

(01:19:19):
However, they have been you theyused for some of the videos they
were using this like the AI editing.
Software. Editing software to bring some
of the photos to life. So that's why some of them look
weird. But I know that this is
something that's been happening on YouTube and I think on other

(01:19:39):
social media platforms where they will like put the reels or
whatever or cut the videos up and they'll like put this AI
editing over it. So some of the videos will look
like AI, but they will be somebody.
It just like, because when you're, you know, when you watch
AI videos, they have that littlekind of Sheen to them people's

(01:20:01):
faces, which is to me always like an indicator, like I didn't
like that. So this is what he was doing.
But according to Snoops and someother.
People that we have looked into about this situation, he put did
put up things of his real his real concert.

(01:20:24):
So I, I think that this, the more important thing to focus on
is that like AI videos and enhancing your videos or photos
with AI can turn out terrible. Okay, you shouldn't do it.
And also it makes it harder for people to know what is real

(01:20:45):
stuff and what's not. And it's already really hard for
people to do that as it is because AI is getting better
with the hands. It's getting better with the
feet. Because remember, like, you
couldn't have somebody holding hands without them all looking
like all mashed up. Together, yeah, looking weird
and shit. You know, so they've been

(01:21:06):
getting really way better with that because it's like, please,
everybody focus up, go to do some media literacy and make
sure that when you're watching your video, whether or not it's
actually the video and if it's if it's AI edited or if it's an
actual AI, but you just got to really be you got to be so

(01:21:27):
vigilant now. It's annoying.
It's too much that we got to think about constantly.
We can't even just get through. We can't even just be online and
be like, oh, like this maybe looks photoshopped or whatever.
Like, that used to be our main thing, but now we got to deal
with deepfakes, AI editing, all this other stuff, and I hate it.

(01:21:53):
Sure. No.
May Gustav. All right.
Are you ready to move on? Yeah, sure.
All right. So the next thing up, I don't
know if we should say congratulations, but the YSL

(01:22:15):
Eternity. Eternity, the YSL attorney Kayla
Bumpus. Hilarious name, by the way.
Bump, bump. Bumpus.
Oh, wait, I wait, can I Yeah, that's B2K.
Yes, OK, but he's. Featured on it, but he's not
the, he's not the song, the B2K,sure.

(01:22:38):
And honestly, if we were going to get, if we couldn't sing
B2K's songs because of no, not because of Diddy, because of
predators, then we wouldn't be able to see any of them because
Chris Stokes was 100% allegedly a predator.
So. But either way, which one?
Was crystals again. He's there.
He was their manager. He was the one that tried to
convince us that Omarion and Marcus Houston.

(01:23:01):
Oh, he wasn't a part of the bank.
He wasn't singing the song. He was like producer, manager.
Oh, he just, he was, he led and he left.
Immature slash IMAX. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
Gotcha. The allegations against him are
crazy and against Marcus Houston.
It's so it's a crazy, crazy world, but.

(01:23:22):
That. World why a sole attorney Caleb
Bumpus came to fame when she wasworking on this recent Rico
trial that they had. And I remember while she was
working on this trial that therewere certain things coming up
that people were kind of side eyeing about her relationship

(01:23:44):
with the clients and if it was professional and all that, But
I, I wasn't paying enough attention to it.
I would just like check in, pop in when you would give me
updates or I would see like, OK,so and so's going to jail, so
and so's getting up, but they have some news that they are
sharing with us. Why?

(01:24:04):
I don't know. 'Cause.
Look, we don't need it. I'll, I'll just, OK, I'll point
it out after we're done with this.
OK. Atlanta News and its ghetto YSL
attorney Kayla Bumpus and defendant Shannon Jackson, who
met and fell in love during lastyear's YSL Rico trial, have

(01:24:25):
announced they are expecting thebaby.
True Atlanta love story. What kind of client attorney
privilege is this? This is what Kayla posted on
Twitter. True Atlanta love story.
My baby almost here. Check out our registry and thank
you If you sent him something I'm not respectfully, I'm not
sending you nothing on your registry because you a lawyer

(01:24:48):
and he does whatever he does. I don't need my help.
They eating chicken wings together.
Oh, that is romantic. What's the Oh you?
Did you change in the records? That's a dusty looking record.
OK, got to put on something moresultry.
Oh, they're engaged. Is that an engagement ring?

(01:25:09):
OK, OK. A lot happened during this
trial. Congratulations.
We have Atlanta. This is a First off, if there's
anything that I have learned about Atlanta, it is that
everyone in Atlanta is looking for love in some way, shape or

(01:25:31):
form. Like either you either you move
down there because you could notfind love anywhere else or you
live there and you are trying tofind love while there or you
live there and you are trying tofind love in other States and

(01:25:53):
are willing. OK, nevermind, I just caught
myself saying something. Trying to be shady.
I wasn't trying to be shady in that regard.
Or you were. You were almost shady.
I was almost shady. I walked into a shady thing.
Point is, Atlanta is for lovers.So this makes sense to me.

(01:26:16):
This makes sense to me that thatthey would find love.
They found love in a hopeless place.
Atlanta is hopeless. They did, and they found love in
a hopeless place. They did.
Atlanta is not a real place. That's why I don't want to move
there. I told you Sam was trying to
convince me to to move down there.
And I was like, no. And then you got the, IT didn't

(01:26:40):
work out with that company that you were with.
So good thing we didn't go to Atlanta.
I mean, I have been going to Atlanta.
I do want to visit Atlanta. I do listen.
I love it in Atlanta. Several of my closest best
sister friends, all that live inAtlanta.
I have lots of love for the place, but Atlanta to me is one

(01:27:03):
of those spots where I'm like, Iwant to go down there, have a
good few days of enjoyment, sure, Some really good food and
then I'm I'm coming back home because I think that the culture
in. Atlanta known for their food?
No, they're not. Not at all.

(01:27:25):
They're known for their their ambiance and food, not just
their food. What are you talking about their
ambiance and food? Because what ambiance?
What food, I would say. Southern food and also they have
really good Jamaican food and they have really good Nigerian
food. Atlanta has really good Nigerian

(01:27:46):
food. Yeah, 'cause a lot of Nigerians
move to Atlanta for some strangereason, I don't know why, but
they're there. The same with the Jamaicans,
'cause you can find anywhere youfind Nigerians, you can find
Jamaicans because we're the samepeople.
But I think that I don't I, but I don't particularly like the
culture of Atlanta. Like the last time I was there,

(01:28:09):
damn, that was a few years now, or maybe it wasn't the last time
I was there, but what about the time I was there most recently,
post Penny, I went down because it was my best friend's
birthday. Shout out to you.
And I came down to like surpriseher or whatever for her
birthday. And we go to this.

(01:28:30):
Really. It was a cute restaurant in Bang
Buckhead because Bakehead is theone that's Buckhead is the one
that is a little bit more shenanigany.
I think Buckhead's doing the world to you people.
Sure. We went to this restaurant in
Buckhead and first of all, BBL City, BBL, you couldn't even get

(01:28:53):
in BBL City, BBL City. But it was like you got into the
restaurant and all you see is just lines and lines of BB LS
coming in. They had bouncers at the
restaurant and it was still early, so it wasn't even like it
was late night or whatever to get to eat.
So you go down, you sit down, eat.
It's dark in the restaurant. The music is crazy loud.

(01:29:16):
There's hookah everywhere. Of course there's hookah.
And I was just like, of course there's hookah.
I feel like the issues that I have with black-owned
restaurants in New York, the reason why they're like that is
because of Atlanta culture. Atlanta culture is black culture
like on steroids. And that is how a lot of places

(01:29:37):
outside of Atlanta want to like latch on to that sort of vibe.
And I don't like it. Like I don't feel I feel like
there's parts are to me as a NewYorker, it's so crazy
superficial in ways I do not appreciate similarly to my
feelings about California. So I think it's like the culture

(01:30:01):
there is very interesting to me.Like the them being a couple is
not actually surprising when youare in Atlanta and you see the
amount of like these really smart, beautiful, educated women
and are with these Y NS or like old Y NS or whatever they used
to be called young thugs back then, who knows?

(01:30:23):
And it's just a very interestingspace because I'm like, you have
all these educated black people in one space and black people of
every like socio economic thing in one space like this black
Mecca. But we are getting all these
shenanigans so. And it's also too close to the

(01:30:44):
KKK for me to really enjoy being.
There's too many Confederate flags, even when.
I'm in how many? How many flags you got a lot.
How many? How many BB LS you got?
A lot. How many hookahs you got?
A lot. It's too many.
Yeah. All right.

(01:31:05):
And more music news. Spotify or or Apple Music has
officially allow, is officially allowing you to transfer your
music from Spotify directly to your Apple Music, which I really
appreciate because I pay for Apple Music.

(01:31:25):
I don't pay for Spotify but I dohave some playlists on Spotify
that I really love that I'm always like damn I wish.
I I think that Spotify does makeI think better playlist for me.
I think so. But I like Apple Music more and
I think the music is clearer. Interesting.

(01:31:48):
But in just that's the only difference we're at least on my
phone. I don't know about like playing
it at home, but apparently a lotof artists are apparently
pulling their music on Spotify. I don't know why.
Probably because they're not making any money from from
Spotify. That's true.
I wouldn't be surprised. But I do appreciate.

(01:32:09):
They're not making any money from Spotify.
I do appreciate Spotify for who it is.
I think it has, it has books, ithas the music, it has podcasts,
it has the podcast videos now too as well.
So yeah, this is a very interesting update.
And I'm hoping that this is not single signaling any kind of
like like Spotify leaving, you know, because I think it's great

(01:32:32):
that we have Apple Music, Music,Spotify.
I mean, Pandora is not really a thing anymore.
But I'm appreciative that we have those various mediums
because I use both of them a lot.
So you know, you know, who knowswhat's gonna happen?
But that's just If you're somebody who likes to use Apple

(01:32:54):
Music, now you know that you have an easy way to movie music
over. Yeah, of course that's good.
That's good. I I personally am not going to
Apple Music, no offense. I'm I'm just now considering
going to Apple TV, so it's gonnabe a while before I consider

(01:33:19):
going to Apple Music. Spotify's treated me well, is
what I'll say. I mean, Spotify does have a lot
to offer, yeah. They've had the the lyrics for a
long time. They've got a lot of stuff going
on. So I'm just curious with how
this is going to impact how thisis this going to impact the the

(01:33:42):
whole thing because I want us tohave more spaces to get music
and entertainment, whatever, notless.
So I don't want Spotify to like leave.
Yeah, of course. But you know, cuz we, there's
still title which people use. I don't use it cuz I wasn't
paying for it. So I just like West Point.

(01:34:03):
So I don't use it. But like, you know, who knows?
I there's just too many. There's too many apps.
Yeah, there's too many apps, there's too many choices,
there's too many things that remember you select.
Well, it used to be fun to say, oh, there's an app for that, and
now it's really true and it's there's. 19 apps for that one
thing that you. Were trying to the appification
of our culture pisses me off because you can't even sometimes

(01:34:26):
like you want to buy a ticket for something, Now you got to go
and you got to download the app to get it.
You go to the doctor's office. Now you got to download the app
to sign in to the doctor's office.
Yeah, you're going to get gas atsome point.
You're going to have to sign into an app to get to the thing.
I'm tired of all these motherfucking apps on.
This motherfucking plane. But it's too much.

(01:34:48):
It's too much. And our phones do not give us
enough fucking space, regardlessof whether you pay that 299 to
Apple or whatever to have extra space, which because it does not
do anything. All right.
Which pisses me off because there's too much, too much
stuff. And we've had enough.
Yeah. Well, Funk Flex and DJ enough.
There's some stories coming out in the music world, the hip hop,

(01:35:12):
New York hip hop. So this came out a few days ago.
Funk Flex tweeted this Monday, Labor Day, September 1st, will
be my last show on Hot News 7 at7:00 PM.
All things come to an end, end of an era that I enjoyed very
much. I super enjoyed it all.
I will make the last show a great one.
Appreciate everyone who has supported me over the years.

(01:35:33):
Now when we saw that, if you could see like the comments,
Missy commented, thank you for bringing some of my records.
There's all these people like talking about it.
So we were like, oh damn. Like Funk Flex is leaving
because he has been on Hot 87 for as long as I can remember
growing up listening to him. Like that's just who it is.
Him and his fucking fog horns taking over the fucking Airways

(01:35:56):
and not playing the damn song. Or was it fog horns?
Or explosions? Funk Flex Explosions.
Maybe it was both and then him yell, his fucking yell of the
drop, the drop of King Kong. I got nothing on me, which
always his favorite thing, right?
But there's been now some extra little, there's some extra

(01:36:22):
little kind of scandal going along with this because DJ
Enough is out at Hot 97 after almost 20 or sorry for 27 years,
almost 3 decades. So this is what DJ Enough had to
say. That flex had a tantrum

(01:36:44):
possibly, and you know that he could be the reason why you're
out. Can you speak to that?
Maybe I think so, maybe I can't.I can't prove it, but in my
heart that's what I feel is happening.
Have you had a conversation withhim?
Have you seen? Him.
No. Has he texted you saying
anything? No, no, no communication at all.
No. Do you feel?

(01:37:05):
Slighted a little bit, I know you.
Yeah, because I shouldn't. I don't deserve that from him.
Yeah, yeah. Especially, you know, him being
the creator of this radio station.
He gave a lot of us, you know, the opportunity to do what we
got to do, especially in hip hopin New York.
Yeah, Yeah. So it wasn't supposed to come
from him. Anybody else, baby?
But not from him. Yeah, he's supposed to.

(01:37:26):
Be my, my, my peer, my boy, we, we, we built this building and
this legacy together. Were you guys?
Cool. Yeah, of course we were.
So there's no. Rift.
It was. It was supposed to be no rift.
Right, so I. Don't understand where it came
from. That's the that's the unclarity
that I don't understand. My ratings were good and they

(01:37:47):
felt good. We ever had a PVD in the
building over a year and our ratings were on fire.
So how do you get rid of somebody when we're we're on top
of our game, especially if, you know, especially like against
our competition? That's right.
Makes more sense. So I got to ask you, were you
truly blindsided or, you know, sometimes when people get fired,

(01:38:09):
there are some sort of hints, there are some sort of feelings.
I didn't. Know it OK and.
My wife did. She's like she knew something
was. Going Oh my God, woman's
intuition. How many other celebrities have
reached out today showing you? Love, she's called.
Up. Me.
Oh my God. Yeah.
New Yorkers. Jim Jones busted for me today.

(01:38:30):
Nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't read the video for me so that was dumb.
Nice. So what's next?
I mean, where are we going to see you next?
Just follow at the Heavy hittersand you'll find us.
And stay tuned for Part 2. Have any people reached out yet
with gigs? Yeah, I got a couple of offers

(01:38:50):
already. OK, we'll figure out.
I like that for you. We'll figure.
Out what's happening? I'm jumping in.
I'm going to Puerto Rico with the.
Truth. I know that's right.
I. Need to go with y'all.
There's a. So, you know, that kind of
sucks. I think that well.
It seems like DJ Enough is goingto land on this.
Of course, the same way that like we talked about Stephen

(01:39:12):
Colbert being like an institution, you know.
So I think that he DJ enough to me, I always preferred him.
And even in the comments, some people are like, I prefer DJ
enough and hearing those fuckinghorns.
Funk Flex, that would always do.But Funk flex, he responded to

(01:39:33):
this video saying Monday, 7 PMI got a story to tell.
A lot of people hanging in, a lot of people hanging in this
video. I think it's supposed to be
hating, but I just told y'all don't play with me.
No need for comments. Join me Monday we continue
comments then. So we'll like allegedly where
he's going to be telling us about what he's doing or what's

(01:39:56):
going on what what happened. But he's gonna Funk Flex is
moving to the 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM slot after this Labor Day.
He used to be at the 7:00 PM to midnight slot.
And then some other shows are also going to be moved around.
So we'll see. There was one video that came

(01:40:18):
out. Of DJ Nuff's last performance or
performance last set. And it kind of touched my heart.
It was kind of sad. So this was, you know, his last.
One of my direct reports looks like DJ Nuff.

(01:40:40):
Leave it. I think I'm more happy to see
the love in the room, but I figured since I started in 1998,
we're going to finish in 1998. It was hard.

(01:41:01):
That's that's really hard because it's been somewhere for
nearly 30 years of your life, like your whole career, this is
where you started. All the people that you have
been able to make these connections with and you're
working with these people day in, day out, not just once on
the radio show, but also like inthe building and all that.
Like that's a lot. And even though he can go

(01:41:22):
anywhere and find these different spaces to be working,
etcetera, having that kind of job security, especially in hip
hop and in radio is huge. So, you know, I hope that he
lands on his feet and funk, FunkFlex, I hope that you do give
some explaining to do. You have some explaining to do,

(01:41:43):
and I hope we get some clarity. Like, you've been on this radio
show for a crazy long time and you'd like enough DJ, Enough
said. He gave him his props.
He said like, he created this space.
But we will have to hear. Like, I mean, you never know
what's going on behind the scenes.

(01:42:05):
But I will say, I mean Funk Flex, I don't listen to to Hot
97 that much anymore because I'mnot really in a car anymore.
But I can just remember being a little kid and trying to like,
record the music, whether it wason ACD, whether it was on a
tape, and always being so annoyed because half the time

(01:42:26):
you weren't getting the full song because you had to go
through so many fucking. That's the only reason why I
appreciate the Internet and and and live wire.
Because you could actually get even sometimes when I would
download the song from mine wire, they would be him on there
still. I guess it's a regional.

(01:42:47):
Thing I couldn't escape it I. Guess it's a regional thing
because I don't have any DJ bullshit if there.
Were songs that might have been like a New York song or
whatever. Like you would still have him on
the fucking drops. And I'm like, get out of here.
You're right. I just want to hear the fucking
song. If you can't do that, I don't

(01:43:08):
want to hear. Yeah.
All right. So did you want to do this for
what made you happy or do you want to do it now?
You know what? Yeah, let's go into what made us
happy. Oh, but wait, we have this one
last Laraja thing. Oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, shoot.

(01:43:29):
OK. Yeah, OK.
You still want. To talk about that, Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah. So real quick, Rampage Jackson's
son, Roger Jackson. Sorry, Roger Jack.
Roger Jackson. He's the famous Roger Jackson,

(01:43:49):
and not famous for the good reasons like you would think.
He beat the shit out of a wrestler earlier this week.
Yeah. So this is Rampage Jackson.
Yeah, and it was his son Roger who attacked this man.
Psycho Stew. Yeah, Psycho Stew and sorry,

(01:44:15):
there's a family buzzing around and the video is gruesome.
We're not going to show the video.
We're not showing the video. Just.
Take it. Down.
Oh, for sure. Yeah, we're not showing the
video, but he basically ran in to do a spot at a wrestling show

(01:44:37):
and he actually assaulted and punched Psycho Stew like 20
something times in the face, to the point where Psycho Stew was
unconscious and had to be rushedto the hospital where he spent a
week and some change in the hospital.

(01:44:59):
Yeah, but thankfully his family did say that he's out of the
hospital. He's recovering, but like, it's
still a long road but rampage. Knocked out some teeth.
He said, Rampage said. I'm sorry, who's SAP?
Sean Ross Sapp. Sean Ross Sapp.

(01:45:19):
He's a he's a wrestling journalist.
He said based on what I've heard, the spot with Roger
Jackson at Knox Pro Wrestling was planned.
However, Roger Jackson knocked the person out, renamed Psychos
2, and followed up with a lot ofheavy punches to Psychos 2,
which were not planned to do that kind of damage.

(01:45:40):
He was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries and they
were trying to figure out what was happening to him.
It also said that Smith appearedto slam a canned drink on
Jackson's head at the beginning of the match, so allegedly that
is why Jackson had such a violent response.

(01:46:01):
But I'm like, if this was a wrestling match, then would that
not have already been planned, Part of it?
I think. All right, Based on what I've
heard of the psycho Stew. Yeah, Psycho Stew did the can,
crunching the can over the head,thinking that the dude was like

(01:46:26):
a wrestler. He's not.
And therefore, like, I guess I don't know if he apologized for
it or whatever, but he, he, Rodger, was goaded on to like,
get a receipt. And a receipt is, in wrestling
parlance, basically, you'll get back.

(01:46:48):
Well, that's kind of what Rampage Jackson said in one of
his tweets about the situation. He said.
I want to clear up the misinformation about my son
Raja. I've confirmed that the
wrestlers, Stuart Smith, AKA Cycle Stew is awake and stable.
Raja was unexpectedly hit in theside of the head by him.
Moments before Smith's match, Raja was told that he could get

(01:47:09):
his payback in the ring. I thought it was part of the
show. It was bad judgement and a work
that went wrong. Raja is an MMA fighter, not a
pro wrestler, and had no business involved in an event
like this. I don't condone my my son's
actions at all. He suffered A concussion from
sparring only days ago and had no business doing anything
remotely close to physical contact.

(01:47:31):
As a father, I'm deeply concerned with his health and
the well-being of Mr. Smith. That being said, I'm very upset
that any of this happened, but my main concern now is that Mr.
Smith will make a speedy recovery.
I apologize on his behalf and toand to kick who showed the show
for the situation. Now I from what I've looked up

(01:47:57):
the his son, was he arrested because I didn't see.
No, he wasn't. He hasn't been arrested.
The LAPD are investigating, but there has no there has not been
any arrests. OK, well the good thing is that
Mr. Smith is awake. He does allegedly, according to

(01:48:20):
his family, have regulations of the event of the attack.
So hopefully that means there's no traumatic brain injury, But I
think it is crazy to have an MMAfighter with a wrestler, you
know, like there's two differentthings especially well, it's.
Not that crazy, I mean Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar.
Yeah, but they are also professional entertainment

(01:48:44):
wrestlers, so they have learned how to move.
So like, yeah, they're very strong.
They can get really physical andall that.
But they've been taught. They know how to.
They're not. Pull their They've been taught
to pull their. Part you know so I think that's
that's the thing like sometimes because this this guy he's not
like in one of the main he's notlike in a WrestleMania or AW or

(01:49:07):
something like that. So this seems like it's like a
semi pro or pro but like not WWElevel wrestling.
So to have somebody on like this, if you really should have
had clear understanding, becausefrom what I understand about
wrestling, there's some sort of choreography with it where
they've decided who's going to win, who's going to lose, how

(01:49:28):
the match is going to go, and you stick to that script so that
nobody gets hurt. It can still be fun, it can
still be physical, but nobody's going to leave here, you know,
in a stretcher. Obviously sometimes things do
happen. We see people who are hurt all
the time in WrestleMania or whatever, but I think it's like
one of those things where you really have to be really

(01:49:51):
careful. Like you can't just get somebody
because you think that it's coolor it's going to bring folks to
the show and not give them clearinformation because like tell an
MMA fighter or you need your payback in the ring for what for
them. How that looks is completely
different than from what a professional wrestler looks.
And watching the video of it happening, like you see, Stewart

(01:50:14):
like did kind of like, I don't know if it was a pile driver or
did. It was a takedown.
It was a, it was a like AAI, forget the name of it, but it's
a, a, a very basic takedown. And so he goes.
But then like. But then he starts beating him
in the. Face like and it's just like
boom, boom, boom, boom, boom andlike someone like that very

(01:50:37):
strong used to like fighting other people in that way because
MMA is just you're just fightinglike it's not there's no
choreography, there's no moving around like that's it.
So hope we are praying for you, Mr. Smith, that you need full
recovery and you don't have any sort of long term issues.

(01:50:58):
But these wrestling promoters and everyone, they need to do
better and make sure that they're giving everybody clear
understanding about what they'redoing before they get into that
ring. I agree.
And with that being said, I think that's everything with pop
culture. Do you want to go into the
things that made us happy? Sure.

(01:51:23):
All right, so what's making you happy this week?
I don't even know. I don't know.
You go first. OK, so shout out to Cody Rhodes,
who has another baby. He.
Does let me get the picture up. Another baby girl, he is the

(01:51:46):
father of two daughters. His wife, Brandy Rhodes, posted
up a picture with the baby, saying welcome to the world,
Leilani Ella Reynolds. Yeah, that's his name.
That's his last name, really. Cody Rhodes.
Yeah. Oh, we are in love.
Thank God for answers, answered prayers.

(01:52:06):
Cody, Brandy, Libby and Leah. And Lonnie.
Oh, that's cute. Little Leilani.
I guess Lonnie is going to be her little her.
Nickname. Yeah, that's cute.
Yeah. That's cool.
Happy for them the the American Nightmare, his beautiful family.
Is he still though? He's not still WrestleMania
champion. The WrestleMania champion?

(01:52:28):
Yes, he is. He is the universal champion.
Universal champion. He's currently the universal
champion. Yes, he won it.
He won it from John Cena at Summer Slam.
Yes. We're not going to be able to
watch these wrestling matches anymore because they're moving
to ESPN. Today was the last.
Today was the last pay-per-view that was on Peacock.

(01:52:51):
But don't we have on Disney Plus?
It said. We have ESPN now.
We can get it for extra and I'm not doing that.
I'm not it's it's $30 extra. Do you kidding me?
Do you want to pay $30? No, I don't.
For ESPNA thing that we neither of us are even into sports.

(01:53:12):
I mean the amount of that I am into sports does not, it does
not make sense for me to spend $30.00 for you.
No it does not. I would spend $5.00 because I
know that, OK, maybe I want to watch the US Open, maybe I want
to watch the Super Bowl or something like that.
There might be some basketball games here and there, liberties
are playing or whatever, but there's nothing about that.

(01:53:34):
I'm going to use $30. It's just not.
It's just not a thing. It's just not a thing.
But shout out to y'all for having kids.
Doing this podcast with you always makes me happy.
I got some good news this week that I and now have to spend the

(01:53:54):
rest of the week preparing for. I'm looking forward to it.
I hope it goes well and I hope that I could then talk about it
later on because it's getting exhausting not being able to

(01:54:15):
really speak on this fucking podcast.
What about you? What are you?
What's, well of course dream is podcast with you and getting a
chance to spend this week. I don't know, it feels like a
blur. What did I even do this week?
Did you do? What did you do?

(01:54:35):
Did I see anybody this week? Saw Juan Chico.
I did. That made me happy.
Juan Chico and Auto. I got to see Juan Chico and Otto
and Michelle, and we went to go see Miss Congeniality in the
park. And let me tell you, Miss
Congeniality is chef's kiss. OK?

(01:54:57):
Still amazing, still hilarious, still an iconic film.
And of course, there's still like the, you know, when you're
watching movies from the 90s andthe 2000s, you're like, what's
going to be problematic in here?So there's always some kind of

(01:55:17):
like slightly little shenanigansY things that you're like, oh,
that's problematic. But I think that for the most
part, it still stands up to the test of time.
And now I want to watch Miss Congeniality too 'cause that one
has Regina King in it. Sure.

(01:55:41):
So yeah, that made me happy. And yeah, I'm school starts in a
few days. So you got to get back on the
sleep schedule. I know it's hard.
I really don't know how I'm going to do it because it's been
fucking terrible. But I'm, you know, that kind of
isn't some ways making me happy,but otherwise just like living

(01:56:04):
life, being here and figuring itall out, you know, adulting.
But why'd you take it off? Because we're wrapping up.
OK. Yeah.
Anything else? Nope, I can't anymore.
You just take her off. OK oh shit, What?

(01:56:27):
Happened. I checked the thing, I didn't.
Mean to do that? If that's all, then that's all.
Yeah, if that's everything, thenthat's everything.
