Speaker 1 (00:00):
Brothers and sisters, why don't you?
It's One Mic, it's One Mic,it's One Mic.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Give me a moment with your friend, I've never been up
to my thoughts before.
Welcome to the only One MicPodcast called Gerard and
Brooklyn Trey In the buildingtonight, man, just having a good
old-fashioned common senseconversation.
What up, dre?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
What's going on, shut ?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
it up Night man.
What we're going to do is we'regoing to discuss this sister
that's on TikTok at the BlackShea and I guess she's going
viral over outfits that was wornat the Black Shea and I guess
she's going viral over outfitsthat was worn at the HBCU
homecomings.
From what she said, a lot ofbrothers and sisters had on some
(00:57):
real colorful outfits and theargument was basically that you
represent the schools and all,and the elders out there, the
alumni, had to reprimand themfor the way that they were
dressed and you know, showing alot of cleavage and you know
skin and whatnot, and so I justwanted to get everybody you know
(01:19):
, of course, us, but theneverybody out there take on it.
You know, was she right?
You know what I mean?
Was she right in what she'ssaying?
So what I'm going to do is I'mgoing to play this clip and this
is at the Black Shea on TikTok.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Let's just first of all, before we go there, just
say I mean, she is right, youknow, she's probably a parent
now.
You know what I mean and youknow sometimes I guess we look
back on ourselves and you knowwe wish we probably would, we
would have done better, you know.
So maybe that's what she'shoping for her children now, you
know, or you know thesechildren that are going to these
(01:56):
schools and stuff like that.
But you know, sometimes we geta little holier than thou when
we get older man.
You know what I mean, and I'mnot saying it's not wrong to get
that way.
Well, I don't say holier thanthou, but she probably just
looking at it now and not reallyrealizing what she did when she
was at that age.
(02:17):
If she did it, because we don'tknow If she did it yeah, we
don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
But what I'll do is I'll play the clip.
Hbcu homecoming outfits havegone too far, so check this out.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It's sad when HBCU alumni go to their homecoming
and didn't have to jump on thisapp and reprimand the students
because it was so much out forhomecoming Like this, which are
learning at the tune of 25,000 ayear.
Y'all didn't have to go tocollege to be looking like that
(02:51):
and I'm gonna touch y'all handwhen I say this You're pretty
from the front.
There is a dehumanization thatwe do to ourselves as black
women when we put all our stock,all our glories, in our ass
where no one can see our face.
You're not a horse, you're nota dog.
You're not some animal.
You're a woman.
You're a woman.
Dr Du Bois coined the term thetalented 10th and it may have
(03:14):
been classes or leaders, butthose who go to this is college.
It's a university.
That's the number one place tolevel up, like beyond there's
elders, there beyond there'schildren, there beyond there's
connections made.
Represent your college well,and I want to represent the best
(03:36):
of my university, not the worst.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
You know, just before we started this we looked at
some videos of homecoming from2024.
Looked at some videos of umhomecoming from 2024 and I don't
know what she saw.
Maybe she you know up close andpersonal.
But I was just going throughsome of the videos and stuff
like that and, to be honest withyou, all of the uh events I
went to as a child the freaknicks, the aggie fest, uh,
(04:00):
virginia beach greek fest, jonesbeach greek fest.
To be honest with you, theVirginia Beach Greek Fest, jones
Beach Greek Fest to be honestwith you, they pretty much dress
the same.
The only difference, I wouldsay, is is that it's a lot more
homosexuals in there yeah man,yeah man, you gotta call it what
(04:21):
it is.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I mean, if you know, you look at my outfits man.
I got some questions aboutthese brothers out here man.
You know what I mean.
Like, what's going on with that?
Now, I know that a lot of thesecorporations like I've seen
something from Nordstrom Rackthat you know when it comes down
to Black College Week, they say, well, you know, we celebrate
black designers.
They say, well, you know, wecelebrate black designers.
(04:43):
And so I don't know if a lot ofthe outfits that she was
referring to were, you know,made by black designers, young
black designers, that's in these, in these colleges and all the
universities, and maybe that'swhere all this is coming from.
I don't know.
A lot of people online had alot of mixed feelings about, you
(05:06):
know, her statements.
Of course, you have, like, a lotof young people who, as you
said, you know you know, theolder, the older cats are now
looking at us like they neverdid these things and all.
So I mean I can say, I mean,you got a daughter.
I can say, I mean, you got adaughter, I have a daughter too.
And it's just like I canunderstand in the sense that
(05:38):
you're saying, well, y'all didit and you don't want to, you
know, act like you've never doneit and look down on us for
doing it and let us live ourlife and all that happy stuff.
But then I also think, as anadult, there's certain things
that we tell our kids to saywell, don't go down this path,
because we know how that endingwill be.
It's certain things that wetell our kids to say well, don't
go down this path because weknow how that ending will be.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
It's your responsibility.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah, you have to do that.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It's your responsibility as a parent.
I mean, like you said, it'sagain.
I was at the Freaknik threeyears in a row.
I went to Virginia Beach GreekFest, the Aggie Fest, and from
the videos that they showed onYouTube regarding the Howard
Homecoming for 2024, the fewthat I looked at I was looking
(06:09):
to see if I could see somethingpertaining to what she's talking
about and, to be honest withyou, I didn't see anything
different than what was doneback at those times.
I'm quite sure maybe she, youknow, I would, honestly speaking
, I looked at the video and assoon as I heard what she said, I
just knew it was going to beworse than what you know, than
(06:32):
what she was talking about, youknow, but I just didn't see it.
I'm not saying it didn't happen.
It probably did happen.
You know.
She probably is seeing somecrazy outfits and stuff like
that.
Let's understand this.
These black college events havealways been outrageous, going
back to my time from 93, 96, Iwas going to all them events.
(06:55):
They was outrageous.
Back then I wouldn't say thatthere was women walking them,
but then again you had the beach.
It was on the beach too, andthe bikinis and everything.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Well, I mean, we gotta separate two different
things, you know, because at theend of the day, the Freaknik is
not an HBCU college.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, the Freaknik originally was supposed to be
you know something differentfrom what I understand, and then
it just it morphed intosomething else.
You from what I understand, andthen it just it morphed into
something else.
You know what I mean.
So that's when they startedchanging the name of it.
But even I think the last yearI went.
I think they tried to name itin something different, like the
Freedom Fest or something likethat, but I think I went I don't
(07:37):
know if it was 93 or 92.
The police gave up.
That's how bad it was.
In the freakney, like I'veliterally watched the police
just say all right, we done.
You know, I mean the street,the city went rampant and
everything like that.
So I'm not condoning what thesekids are doing now because
we're older, we're grown, youknow we live, trying to live a
righteous life, you know.
(07:58):
But you know to keep it a buck,I didn't see anything different
than what was done back then atthat time.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You know, somebody brought something up to me when
I mentioned this is that we have, you know, as black folks, we
have our homecomings, which, youknow, has its traditional roots
in terms of why they have it.
But when you look at a lot ofthe white universities, Worse.
I would argue yes, yes.
(08:29):
Except that we just don't see it.
I mean it's not videotaped andall that Because I mean young
Caucasian women dress just asbad as you see, if not worse
than you know.
These women we see here,however, it's like do they
really have have?
I know they have homecomings,don't get me wrong, I'm not
silly about that.
(08:50):
But do they focus more on thefootball and all that where you
don't see the pageantry of theirhomecoming?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
let me tell you something, man, them, them, uh.
White college events.
Like I said again, I was in themilitary, so I have white
friends, man.
You know what I mean at that.
During those times, man, thesewhite events are just as bad,
probably even worse.
The only thing is is that theyusually have it whereas it's
like isolated maybe that's theword I'm looking for.
(09:16):
Like you don't see much of it orhear anything about it yeah, I
don't know I could be, but itdoesn't seem like they're dumb
enough to upload all of theirfoolishness on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
And I could be wrong.
I'm not looking for it oranything like that, but you know
, I just don't see that stuff onYouTube.
But I know from these whitefraternities and white
sororities oh man, it's likeCaligula in them joints, man.
I mean so you know, I guaranteeyou, if you were able to put
(09:52):
together some inside video youknow what I mean it's like some
FBI footage of this stuff.
But then compare the whitefraternities to these black
fraternities and sorority man,the white fraternities will look
at them like yo.
What y'all doing down thereit's kindergarten work, man.
You know what I mean.
I'm telling you it's nasty outthere, man.
(10:14):
You know they go real crazy atthem, white fraternities.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Well, yeah, you know it's like Animal House man Stuff
ain't coming out.
Yeah, they stuff ain't comingout.
Yeah, have a dog on horse oncoke and all type of stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
You don't know what.
What's going on in them things,man.
You know, they, they, they getbusy at them events and a lot of
times even I'm gonna tell yousomething about, you know,
having white friends.
You know when, especially mymilitary buddies, man, white
people rent a lake, young people, they'll rent a whole lake, man
, and they'll have their boatsout, all kinds of other stuff
like that Bonfires.
(10:49):
Bonfires.
They're doing all kinds of wildstuff and the police overlook
that stuff, man.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Police really overlook it.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
They cover it up, they overlook it.
You know what I mean.
Unless there's, they'll letthem have those events, they'll
let them wild out in thoseevents and if somebody gets out
of order, they'll extract themfrom the event, but the event
continues to go on.
You know, different from youknow, and I'm not condoning any
of this.
You know what I mean.
I'm not condoning any of it.
I'm just saying that you know,when it comes to these black
(11:21):
events, they looked at like somesort of you know, wild, savage
parties.
But the same thing is going onin these white events.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Well, you, know what, something that we discussed off
air, and I mean we haven't, youknow, been on when things like
this were happening.
But you were saying beforeabout we like the only people
that kind of openly correct ourpeople, right?
So even if you look at thething that Obama did with black
(11:50):
men and voting, and then you seethings like this, and I mean
she's not Obama, of course itmay not go as far as Obama's
thing did, but it's just like,is it warranted to have to like
kind of do it this way If it'san open shame like the kind of
oh, she's right man.
(12:12):
On front street.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
We don't have a choice with our people.
These days, man, a lot ofthings have gotten out of
control to the point where yougot to say something, man, and
because again.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
She said the alum, the alumni, reprimanded a lot of
these kids for the way thatthey dress.
Alumni reprimanded a lot ofthese kids for the way that they
dress.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
So, like I said, I'm only going off of what you know.
I tried to Google some to youknow, some of the homecoming
events and I'm probably weprobably was bombarded on
YouTube with like the good stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So I don't know.
Yeah, I kind of research too.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I'm quite sure this crazy music that we got going on
now with these kids and ithighly over sexual, sexualized
content in the music and thesevideos and stuff like that.
I'm quite sure what this ladyprobably was exposed to was, um,
the after, you know, like theafter parties or yeah, just
before they're about to start,just just before it was about to
start.
So I'm quite sure she did seesome things.
I just saw from the videos thatyou know I saw it was about to
start, so I'm quite sure she didsee some things.
I just saw from the videos thatyou know I saw it was kind of
tame.
You know what I mean.
I won't say tame.
(13:14):
It's no different than what Isaw when I was at the Freaknik
when I was a kid.
The only difference is I didn'tsee and what I saw at the
Freaknik people was having sexin cars, all kind of crazy
garbage back then.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
But something that she said in that video that kind
of struck me is actually acouple of things.
Number one she was like theelders are there, you're doing
this around the elders andthings like that.
This is where the reprimandingsupposedly had come from.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
That's probably where a good point is made, because
again, the freakness wasn'tabout no elders Right right, you
know what I mean, you know, alot of the stuff that popped off
back in them days didn't reallyhappen at the football game.
You know what I mean.
(14:00):
It didn't happen in front ofelders.
When this stuff happened it wasat the beach.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Right.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
It was at the downtown Atlanta.
You know what I mean.
And not to say that it wasn'tno grown people in those areas,
but it wasn't like no alumnijust chilling downtown Atlanta
during the freak Nick.
If they was, then they was downthere for the get down.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, yeah.
And then she also says in itabout um, you know, it was so
much.
You know, rump shone andeverything like that that.
You know you're not an animal,you're putting that on display.
You're more beautiful from thefront.
You know, and we've said thison this show several times,
several times, like, like yousay, the over sexualization of
(14:46):
music and entertainment, andthis is pretty much all we know
our sisters for doing.
The entertainment is, you know,nobody's shaking their rum,
nobody's really paying attentionto what's coming out their
mouth, they're just looking atthem shaking on the stage.
So, you know, what do you feel?
Do you think that was you know,correcting that to say well,
you know, listen, you're morebeautiful from the front than
(15:06):
you are from the back.
Don't put all your value andwork from your back.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I like what she did.
She, you know what I'm saying.
It's no tear them down andbuild them up, kind of
conversation.
You know what I mean.
Like you know she didn't go inthere and just rip them a new
one, which she did, you know sheshould have.
But on the same token token,she was like you, like how you
would tell a young brother inthe street that's doing
something wrong.
You'd be like yo man, I see youselling drugs, but you're a
king, you know.
(15:30):
I mean you know there's godwithin you, you know.
I mean like, don't diminish the, the god within you, you know.
So you're telling them thathe's doing wrong, but you're
building them up at the sametime.
So I think she did a good jobshe did.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
But I mean, of course , naturally we live in an age
where people are not going totake this stuff lightly at all
and say well, you know, she'sright.
You have a few people that weresaying she was right within the
comments I'd love to see somefootage of what she's talking
about.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
See, and again, I'm quite sure, because initially,
when you told me about thistopic, I was thinking oh yeah,
as soon as I log on to this, I'mabout to see a bunch of these
little girls looking like uh,what's the little rap girl
gorilla, girl, gorilla and IceSpice and all them Ice Spice and
all them goofy bras.
You know what I mean.
I thought we was going to seesome of that, but you know from
the daytime footage of the thegood stuff that was.
(16:15):
You know that's on YouTube.
I just saw the now again.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
That's just one.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
That's somebody's point interview you know I mean.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
So yeah, it might have.
It might be some videos outthere, something crazy you know.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I mean like yeah, I'm quite sure, I'm quite sure in
the daytime, and then you havewhat you have at night and again
, like I said, I question a lotof these young brothers out here
like man everybody in them.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
In them games ain't in howard university that's true
too.
That's true everybody's comingin games in Howard University.
Like I said, when we was outthere, we wasn't in college, we
was in the military.
We wasn't in college, we was outthere.
You know, having fun and again,I'm not condoning this we were
young children, we did dumbthings and like that lady right
(17:02):
now who knows, I don't know whoshe is or like that she might be
going to church.
Now, you know, when you'relooking through things, through
them righteous, you know notsaying we holy than thou again,
but when you start lookingthrough things to your moral,
your new moral discipline thatyou've learned and from reading
the scriptures and stuff likethat, you know I look at things
(17:24):
now like things I used to lookat and be like, oh my goodness,
that was wonderful to me at onetime.
Now I look at it and be like,oh no, that's disgusting.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Can't do it yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Yeah, I mean.
So maybe that's what she'slooking through.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
That could be it too.
And I mean you know it's againa lot of the young people and
this is a message to any youngperson that might be listening
to it, or if you know a youngperson that you know, you listen
to it and you let them knowthis is that one day you're
going to be that elder and whatmight seem young, wild and free
to you today, you know I mean,is going to be a totally
(17:57):
different ball game as you getolder.
If, if and that's a big if ifyou're mature enough or if
you've grown something in yourlife.
You know I mean in terms ofsaying you know what I mean, in
terms of saying you know I gotolder, my thoughts changed.
I got kids.
I got a family.
Do I want my wife going out herelooking like this?
Do I want my daughter going outhere looking like this?
Do I want my son going out herelooking like this?
(18:18):
Because, again, a lot of youngbrothers out there have some
questionable stuff on.
So it's like do you want, youknow?
Do you want you know, do youwant your people going out like
this?
My thought pattern might bedifferent at my current age than
it was 20 years ago, and itshould be.
It should be different, youknow.
If not, I wasted years of mylife if I didn't have a change
(18:39):
of thought.
So you know, that's just mymessage to the young folks out
there.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Everybody know that.
Listen, man, your kids aregoing to do what you're going to
do.
You're going to make mistakes.
I pray that you don't make themistakes that I made.
I guess that's what this womanis probably trying to tell these
kids.
You don't know what experiencethat woman might have.
She might have went to one ofthese events and, as a young
person, end up pregnant, orsomething like that she woman
(19:07):
might have.
She might have went to one ofthese events and, as a young
person, end up pregnant, orsomething like that.
You know what I mean.
She's probably telling you nowdon't get yourself in this or
get raped.
You know what I mean, because alot of people back then got
raped, ended up with childrenthat were on a one night stand.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
All kind of crazy garbage Disease, aids, all kinds
of venereal diseases andeverything like that of crazy
garbage, and maybe that's whatshe's.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah, aids People are working with AIDS, yeah, all
kinds of venereal diseases andeverything like that.
So she might be looking atthings from those eyes and
saying like please don't messyour life up, man, you could be
better.
You can be a queen, you knowwhat I mean.
You could be a king.
You know what I mean.
I see the.
This is supposed to be, youknow and I never really liked
this term with them HBCUs, withthe fraternities and so on.
(19:51):
That's supposed to be the elitecrew.
You know what I mean?
That's what she's saying.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
The talented 10th.
As elitist as it may sound, butthe truth of the matter is she
also said represent your school.
I counted that by sayingrepresent yourself and your
people, man, better than that,forget the school.
You know what I mean.
You got to represent yourselfbetter than that.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Another thing too, man, like even that thing with I
think they just put the videoout some time ago with the
Freaknik and all the other stufflike that and then they had to
go through all kinds of thingsto get the video put up.
Because there's a lot of peopleon there now who are judges you
know what I mean who'spoliticians and different things
(20:30):
, you know I mean.
Then now they don't want to.
I never understood that, evenas a kid, you know.
I mean like we would tapeourselves and stuff like that,
if it's something you know.
Like somebody had a videocamera, you know it would be a
nice situation.
You didn't tape yourself doingnothing stupid.
No, you know, I mean.
You know you just didn't taketape yourself doing nothing
stupid.
No, you know, I mean you knowyou just didn't take tape
yourself.
We didn't do it that that way.
(20:51):
So I don't know, this newgeneration will tape themselves
on some some of the mostcraziest things.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So you know they'll tape yourself doing crime, you
know, sex, whatever I've seen avideo where somebody was taping
themselves cooking crack andparent must have walked in like
they making a TikTok video ofthem cooking crack.
The parent walked in and lostit.
You know what I mean.
As they should.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
As they should.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Walked in the house and you cooking, crack on the
stove.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
You know what I mean Just openly, openly confessing
to committing a crime, and youknow this is what they do.
You know everything goes oncamera.
So again, I've always even toldmy own children, man, like stay
away from them cameras, man.
Because again you know what Imean.
You can, you can.
(21:43):
It's like, it's like highschool.
You know how we do somethingcrazy.
I mean, in New York it'sprobably different, but these
local high schools in theseareas like Delaware, you know
these little small areas.
When you do something wrong inthese little small schools like
in Delaware or something likethat, it follows you throughout
your life.
New York you might be able toget away because you know, you
(22:05):
know it's got so many otherthings to think about, not to
mention school is spanned out.
You might see a dude for thesefour years.
You might never see that managain ever in life.
And these little small areas inthe same city, these small
areas, you're gonna see themsame people again.
Yeah, yeah, I mean so they'regonna remember.
Oh, she went down in the, uh,the bathroom and took on four
(22:29):
dudes.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, something crazy.
No matter how old you get, inthese little small areas, people
are never going to forget.
They're never going to forget.
They're going to alwaysremember you.
You know what I mean forwhatever foolishness you did,
but now the whole thing about itnow is like, instead of doing
it in that little small school,you got videotaped.
(22:49):
Sooner or later, 30 years fromnow, your children might see you
being tossed up in the air insome club.
You know what I mean.
How can you look mommy in theface then?
You know what I mean, orrespect that and again that goes
back to I think we were talkingabout earlier is that when
these kids see your faults andnot to say that you're not going
(23:10):
to have faults as a parent, butwhen these children see your
faults, they start thinking ofyou as their equal.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, that's the big issue.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
You and your mom want to take you out to the club,
you want to smoke weed with yourdad, all that other stuff like
that, and he'll allow you to doit.
And once he allow you to do it,what happens is later.
He want to be, he want to tellyou when he's so broke, he want
to tell you what to do and he belike nah, we equal now.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, why am I listening to you?
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah, why am I listening to you?
You smoke weed with me.
You know what I mean.
It don't make no difference.
You know what I mean.
I don't got no respect for youropinion.
I wouldn't have, you know, thatkind of respect for my father's
my own father and mother'sopinion If they was out there
getting high and smoke anddrinking with me and in the club
with me.
Could you imagine your mom inthe club with you?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Some people doing it.
Yeah, I, some people got momand grandma in the club.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, in the club with them together.
Y'all shaking y'all behind, menall up on you and everything
like that, giving you phonenumbers and all kinds of other
stuff like that.
You competing with yourdaughter.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
That's crazy right.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
You competing with your daughter.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
That's a wild business.
That's a wild business, man.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
You competing with your daughter and then later on
you want to tell her aboutfinance, finances and, uh, you
want to talk to her about youknow how she should, um, uh, get
picked better men and all kindof other stuff like that.
You know, I mean you can't, youcan't have that conversation.
You know you usually you, youare useless as a parent.
Once you uh what they used tocall weed.
Um, I don't know.
(24:43):
The five percenters made this.
They used to call it theequalizer.
You remember that.
You know why it's called theequalizer, because once you're a
smoke, I don't care if you're60 or you're 5, you're all on
the same page.
You know what I mean.
Yeah, and that's how these kidslook at it.
Once you drink a drink with me,you get as drunk as I do.
(25:04):
You get as high as I do.
You get as high as I am.
You know we partied.
You did all the stupid stuff inthe party I did.
You can't come home and be momand dad no more.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Nah, it goes out the window.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
It goes out the window.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
But yeah, that's our message to the people.
So I just ask y'all that'slistening this lady, the black
Shea, say what she say inregards to the young girl's
dressing at the Howardhomecomings or the HBCU
homecoming.
Was she right?
Do you think she was right?
(25:37):
Do you think she was wrong?
You can leave it in thecomments, let us know.
I mean, we all ears to hearthis one, because I'm pretty
sure there's like a lot ofvaried opinions on this.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Man, hold on, let me say this I remember years ago
and I think we just talked aboutthis when, uh, c delores tuck
was rolling over them cds andwhatever, whatever tupac, and
I'm not being young and sayinglike, ah man, you know that's
bad, you know why is she doingthat, or whatever, like that.
I want to get a bulldozer androlling over some of these cds
and dvds.
Now, man, you know, I mean youknow, with some of these CDs and
DVDs, now, man, you know what Imean.
You know, with some of theseyoung women, the music that
(26:09):
they're putting out and stufflike that.
Young.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Brothers too.
Man, I heard some crazy stufftoday.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
As you get older.
Like you said, man, we'regetting older.
Nobody wants to play holierthan thou.
You know what I mean, because Ialways want to speak to
children and say you know, likeyo, I drank liquor and I did
those things, but I got kidneyissues as a result of that.
You know, you got children outof wedlock as a result of that.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Broken homes in regard.
You know these are the thingsthat come with that.
You know it may seem fun at thetime, but all of those things
can come back and really onemistake can alter your life.
We're not just talking about,we're just giving it down to.
Maybe you might sleep withsomebody you shouldn't.
Now you got a child withsomebody you can't even stand.
(27:04):
Maybe you went to a club andyou high and everything like
that.
I've been with friends andfamily members that you know
ended their life.
You know what I mean, in theclub, thinking it was just going
to be a good night.
You know what I mean.
Things can change man, so maybethat's why this lady is talking
.
I mean, maybe we might be goinga little too extreme, but
(27:24):
that's what this lady is talkingabout man.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
You know might be going a little too extreme, but
that's what that lady talkingabout.
Man, you know, like shopping upman, we like people, yep, and
that's what it is, you know.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
I mean so listen, um, lighten up man, did you see
obama's detroit rally the otherday?
No, but I heard about it yeah,yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
um got on stage and I rapped with the crowd, quoting
Eminem lyrics.
Actually, oh yeah, I heardabout that.
I heard about that.
I'm going to let y'all listento this.
This is Obama, you know.
Don't lose yourself.
Check this out.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
You know I have done a lot of rallies so I don't
usually get nervous, but I wasfeeling some kind of way
following Eminem.
Now I notice my palms aresweaty, knees, weak arms are
(28:21):
heavy, vomit on my sweateralready minds are forgetting.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I'm nervous, butitome , of what you have to be, to be.
He's probably the best blackpolitician we've ever had in our
life, man.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
He's actually campaigning better than Kamala.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Obama is the kind of guy that you know, everybody,
everybody, black or white, wantsto hang out with man.
The guy is amazing man, youknow.
I mean I don't vote and I don'tbelieve none of this stuff, but
if I was a voting person I'dvote for Obama.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
He's a charismatic guy, man, but I mean you got to
really look at it like this manwith a difference maybe about a
week or so make, because youknow the black community was
tearing him a new, maybe about aweek or so make, because you
know the black community wastearing them a new one about
that whole misogynistic manthing.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Obama can do no wrong man.
They probably just ripped intohim for a little light check,
but I'm telling you he's one ofthem people man.
He can't do no wrong man.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he can.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
No, I'm saying in my eyes, in the black community's
eyes, I guess.
In my eyes.
Yes, he can do a lot wrong.
I'm just saying that in thisculture, in this climate today,
he's like almost a cult figureman.
You know what I mean.
If he ran right, if he was ableto run right now, he'd win
again.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
He'd win again.
He'd win again.
I think he's campaigning betterthan Kamala Harris.
Yeah, no, that's what I'msaying, man.
And then he talks the talk.
He talks the stuff that Blackpeople like that.
He sounds like a modern dayMartin Luther King man.
He got that rhythm in his voicein the conversation and
everything like that.
I mean he sounds more likeMalcolm when he's talking.
(30:25):
You know what I?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
mean.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I mean, I'm talking about the rhythm of his voice.
I'm not saying what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I'm saying the rhythm of his voice.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Yeah, the rhythm of his voice.
It's actually probablysomething you know in the minds
of all Black people, in the backof their mind, when you hear
him you're like, oh snap, youknow what I mean.
I heard this before.
It's like listening to BiggieSmalls or something like that.
(31:04):
What was it?
Juicy.
You know what I mean.
In the back of black people'smind, once they heard Biggie
Smalls, they just the same waythat went with Obama.
When they hear him, theyprobably just hear the kind of
the vibe of a Martin and aMalcolm.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I'll be honest with you because they've been going
hard in Detroit in terms ofcampaigning because it's an
important state.
But stuff like this mightactually push Harris over the
edge, man.
Supposedly she was leading.
I I think a lot of peoplesaying those polls that the cnn
and everybody's giving everybodyis a little bit um, you know, I
(31:38):
mean choppy in itself in termsof some say that she's losing,
some say that it's 50 50, somesay that you know one is winning
, the other isn't.
If it is that type of case, Ithink that these little things
might push it over man.
We only got about two weeks.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Like you said, we don't care either way, I don't
care either way, it's likemonths to me.
I heard Mase say today which Isaid a long time ago, man, I was
watching Cam and them sportsshow and they said you know the
lesser of two evils.
I don't accept it.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah, you evil yourself If you vote for the
lesser of two evils.
You evil I don't accept it.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I don't accept the choices man.
You know what I mean.
So again, she might win.
Actually, I thought she wasgoing to win.
Actually I thought she wasgoing to win.
She had a real strong pushafter they flipped her and got
Biden out of it.
But now I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
I honestly thought that thing that happened last
week might have kind of damagedit, because you need the black
male vote For Obama to say whathe has said and a lot of people
take offense to it.
I honestly thought that thatmight have been something that's
jacked up.
You know what I mean.
So maybe this was his way ofwinning back that crowd.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
And listen, man, and again this is what we come to.
Let me tell you, I'm hopingthat somebody when this, you
know, I hope this election goover soon.
I can't stand these dog onconstant videos of Trump
campaigning videos of Trump.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
It's overkill man.
It's two things I want to seedone quick.
It's this election and Puffy'sthing.
I want to see those things oververy, very quick.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Let us see the man real charges and what he getting
charged on.
You know what I mean, BecauseI'm tired of hearing these are
two things that have.
It clouds my social media.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I can't even get nothing on there.
They ruin the news cycle.
Nothing else is on the newscycle.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Every day Puff comes out with a new victim.
You know somebody's suing himor whatever like that.
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
It's like we said when we talked to Tia also a
couple weeks ago.
Listen, you know, as podcasters, content creators, whatever,
that's everybody's dream to beable to just go ahead and eat
off this dude.
But at the end of the day, it'slike if I tell you somebody's
opening up a school, no views,16 in the hundreds.
(34:06):
All I gotta do is put Diddy ina tag line and next thing, you
know, it's like thousands ofviews over.
You know just his name alone.
Let's be honest, you know whatI mean.
So, yeah, it's good for us, butat the end of the day, you want
to hear something with some,you know, with some content in
it man Some good information,Especially with Black people.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
I mean we just had a major what hurricane?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
yeah, major hurricane , and the major news right now
is fuck that, people die, a lotof people have died you don't
see, like really like, what'sgoing to be done about that, but
it's just like it's a lot ofnews that's out there that
nobody's talking about, you knowthey don't care about what's
going on in the Middle East.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
You know what I mean in China.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
McDonald's poisoned several people just as of late,
ruining their business.
You know what I mean nobodycares about that major bombing
in the Middle East.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Nobody worry about this people want to know how
many people.
What new celebrity is in one ofthese videos and cares, man?
Like they said a long, likewe've been saying a long time
ago, man, this ain't nothingdifferent.
The way he was on, the probablyhalf the probably took it to a
whole another level.
You know, I mean during thattime, man pedophilia and stuff
was going on bill cosby.
(35:25):
Bill cosby said it best.
You know it was the time.
You know what I mean.
It was like you give a Quaalude.
That's what everybody did backthen.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I tell everybody on.
YouTube His name escapes me atthe moment, but look at the man
who started MGM Metro, goldwynMayer I believe his last name
was Mayer and he is every bit ofthe Puff Daddy Suge Knight,
clive Davis, probably theforerunner of everything that
(35:56):
you see in the music and musicindustry right now the movie and
music industry, pardon me.
So it's like if you look atthat documentary and see the
things that he made yourfavorite starlets go through and
your favorite leading men gothrough to get where they had to
be, I just saw a video todaywith Willie D and Yo-Yo and.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Yo-Yo said told Willie D on the show he's like
you're in the industry.
It's been going on.
This is this is no.
This is not.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
He's not the only one well, you've seen the
abercrombie and fitch.
Oh, in fact, I'm glad that we,we, we here.
Uh, you didn't see about thatlike this.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I'm gonna give you my story abercrombie and fitch.
My son, well you know, son'smother bought some clothes there
one time.
I remember walking intoabercrombie and fitch and there
was a bunch of pictures in thereof men all over each other and
all kinds of other stuff likethat.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Young boys, it wasn't even men.
Young boys.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Yeah, they all got their shirts off and roughing
each other up and all that othercrazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Oh yeah, man, yeah.
So, like I said, when they'rebanging these guys on sex
trafficking, they pretty muchadvertise to you what that was
years ago, because every pictureand I know what you're talking
about you go in their store,every picture that hangs up.
It's like an erotic art galleryof young boys in really weird
positions with their shirts off.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
And I bought some Abercrombie Fitch stuff.
But you know, when I used tobuy it, I used to buy it.
I probably I bought maybe outof other stores or something
like that, or I don't know how Igot it.
But I don't never reallyremember of walking in the store
.
But the one time I actuallywalked into the store I was like
what the heck is going on withthis, this marketing here.
Man, it's crazy.
(37:43):
I mean, I haven't been there inyears.
This is a long time ago.
I've been there but who knows,I don't know what the
advertisement in there is now,but back then, it's pretty much
the same.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
I've seen it on the news.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
It's disgusting man.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
They knew who they was marketing that towards when
they was doing it.
And even back then, before allthis, like you said, we knew
that was weird.
Back then, like you said, weknew that was weird, you know.
Back then they just said youknow why does all these?
In fact, I believe I was withyou one time when we went there
and we walked out.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Yeah, and let me say shout out to Yo-Yo.
Yo-yo said in my house I'mgoing to raise my son to play
with trucks, my grandson to playwith trucks.
I ain't going to teach him toplay with no dolls.
Shout out to the yo you want togrow up and move out of my
(38:36):
house and do whatever you wantto do.
At that point it's on you.
But in here, this is what we do.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
As for me and mine, we're going to do this thing the
right way.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
You know what I mean Shout out to her man.
I was like you know she, youknow I guess she from the
conversation you got to see thevideo.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Man, she looked like she fed up with this garbage man
well, again it goes back tocircle it back to what we said
in the original um portion ofthis conversation.
As you get older, you know Imean yo you'll probably like the
parties and stuff like thatback in the day.
But when you get older andyou're using terms like
grandkids and you know you lookat the world out of different
lens.
Man, it ain't none of that.
(39:14):
You know, just go be young,wild and free.
You better think about whatyou're doing before you do it.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
I'm going to raise some men who will protect this
family.
You know, god forbid if some ofmy family or the women in my
family are being threatened.
I want some men to come out ofthis house.
You know, what I mean.
I don't want no pink pantswearing dudes coming out and
talking about they trying toprotect us.
You know what I mean.
(39:41):
I want some men to come out ofthis house and then you know,
vice versa, we want some ladiesto come out of this house.
You know, out of your lineage,man, you want to be able to go
somewhere.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Classy women.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Classy women, man, you know what I mean and it's
sad to say because, like thelady just said in herself, even
these so-called elite ones.
Now, you know what I mean,they're popping it.
But then again, look at what'sgoing on with the elite women
Now, the so-called, these elitewomen that we hold in high
(40:15):
regard.
They out here in these clubs,some of these better actresses
and women professionals andwhatever that.
They don't remember what?
What did we have to show onwhen it was a the judge out
there acting like a nut?
oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah thefemale black judge out there
(40:36):
acting like a nut.
She was a judge crazy.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Yeah, she's.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
Yeah, I know what you're talking about I mean this
is where this is where we atman.
So you know, and I hate to getdown on our own, but cause every
race is doing it yeah, but youknow every race is doing it but
we look at more for doing it wedeteriorate man, the whole
(41:01):
society.
It's like sad to say, because Iguess we look at women to be our
more flagrant backbone of thisearth man.
And you know, I guess we lookat women to be our moral fiber
and backbone of this earth man.
And, uh, you know so, go towomen.
You know pretty much, so go sogo to men so go, everything else
, you know I mean, but uh, youknow, it's just like the moral
fiber of it.
You know I mean because thewomen raise children and you
(41:23):
know most children you, wherethey develop right and wrong
from, is their mom.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Yeah, first teachers.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
You know, and if your mom is going to try Wednesdays?
you know, what I mean.
And you're 23 years old, youknow she's dressing up crazy and
wild.
What exactly are you going todo?
Yeah, man, you know what I mean.
I'm seeing a video right nowthat's going viral with this
little she dressing up crazy andwild.
What exactly are you going todo?
Yeah, man, I'm seeing a videoright now that's going viral
(41:52):
where this little Spanish girlis like talking to her mom, but
she's dancing and she's dancingreal sexual and it's one of the
biggest videos, viral videosright now.
You know what I mean and I'mlike, and everybody you know.
Even now I guess the family islike all right, well, we ate off
of that video, let's go do somemore.
(42:14):
You know what I mean.
And they're not really got anygirl dancing like in all the
videos, but this one particularvideo, this little girl is
dancing provocative as a littlegirl and I'm like it's crazy.
You allow that.
Everybody in the comments isloving it.
You would think a father wouldbe like oh heck, no, you're not
putting my baby out theredancing like.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
You know, like this on no camera was pops on it too
I don't even know it was.
Speaker 3 (42:40):
It was me, I think it was men on the video.
It was definitely, you know,women, grown women there, you
know mean they just laughing atit.
I was like, all right, yeah,man, one of the biggest, one of
the most viral videos right nowis that little girl dancing, you
know, dancing, really sexual.
And where would she learn thatat an early age?
(43:01):
She's like, look like she'sabout four or five years old,
it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
She's going and doing it in the schools and they
judge her.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
Yeah, yeah, you know, maybe we're getting too old man
.
Speaker 2 (43:12):
Could be.
I'm going to hit this one.
Speaker 3 (43:15):
Maybe we're getting too old.
My people, my people, how long?
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Hmm, how long?
Why do we do this to oneanother?
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Exactly.
You're going to be hearing alot of that during this show.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
All right, man, we're going to get ready to wrap up,
but yeah, just thought we'dtouch on those topics real quick
man.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
And before we wrap up , man, just let people know, the
young people know, man, nobodyis, nobody acts holy in India.
Man, your parents and most ofyour parents done probably did
drugs done, did alcohol done,partied, done, did a lot of this
wild stuff.
And you know, when you putthese kind of videos out, like
you said, these kids get on hereand put you know comments on it
(44:05):
and try to tear it up with thewhole.
Yeah, you guys did that to her.
But maybe that's why peopletell you that, man, because they
don't want you to make the samemistakes man.
Speaker 2 (44:16):
So that's really what it is Exactly.
So you're trying to raisepieces of better, pieces of us.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (44:20):
I mean, that's what it is.

What's going on, shut ?
Speaker 2 (00:34):

What we're going to do is we'regoing to discuss this sister
that's on TikTok at the BlackShea and I guess she's going
viral over outfits that was wornat the Black Shea and I guess
she's going viral over outfitsthat was worn at the HBCU
homecomings.
From what she said, a lot ofbrothers and sisters had on some
(00:57):
real colorful outfits and theargument was basically that you
represent the schools and all,and the elders out there, the
alumni, had to reprimand themfor the way that they were
dressed and you know, showing alot of cleavage and you know
skin and whatnot, and so I justwanted to get everybody you know
(01:19):
, of course, us, but theneverybody out there take on it.
You know, was she right?
You know what I mean?
Was she right in what she'ssaying?
So what I'm going to do is I'mgoing to play this clip and this
is at the Black Shea on TikTok.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Let's just first of all, before we go there, just
say I mean, she is right, youknow, she's probably a parent
now.
You know what I mean and youknow sometimes I guess we look
back on ourselves and you knowwe wish we probably would, we
would have done better, you know.
So maybe that's what she'shoping for her children now, you
know, or you know thesechildren that are going to these
(01:56):
schools and stuff like that.
But you know, sometimes we geta little holier than thou when
we get older man.
You know what I mean, and I'mnot saying it's not wrong to get
that way.
Well, I don't say holier thanthou, but she probably just
looking at it now and not reallyrealizing what she did when she
was at that age.
(02:17):
If she did it, because we don'tknow If she did it yeah, we
don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
But what I'll do is I'll play the clip.
Hbcu homecoming outfits havegone too far, so check this out.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It's sad when HBCU alumni go to their homecoming
and didn't have to jump on thisapp and reprimand the students
because it was so much out forhomecoming Like this, which are
learning at the tune of 25,000 ayear.
Y'all didn't have to go tocollege to be looking like that
(02:51):
and I'm gonna touch y'all handwhen I say this You're pretty
from the front.
There is a dehumanization thatwe do to ourselves as black
women when we put all our stock,all our glories, in our ass
where no one can see our face.
You're not a horse, you're nota dog.
You're not some animal.
You're a woman.
You're a woman.
Dr Du Bois coined the term thetalented 10th and it may have
(03:14):
been classes or leaders, butthose who go to this is college.
It's a university.
That's the number one place tolevel up, like beyond there's
elders, there beyond there'schildren, there beyond there's
connections made.
Represent your college well,and I want to represent the best
(03:36):
of my university, not the worst.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
You know, just before we started this we looked at
some videos of homecoming from2024.
Looked at some videos of umhomecoming from 2024 and I don't
know what she saw.
Maybe she you know up close andpersonal.
But I was just going throughsome of the videos and stuff
like that and, to be honest withyou, all of the uh events I
went to as a child the freaknicks, the aggie fest, uh,
(04:00):
virginia beach greek fest, jonesbeach greek fest.
To be honest with you, theVirginia Beach Greek Fest, jones
Beach Greek Fest to be honestwith you, they pretty much dress
the same.
The only difference, I wouldsay, is is that it's a lot more
homosexuals in there yeah man,yeah man, you gotta call it what
(04:21):
it is.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I mean, if you know, you look at my outfits man.
I got some questions aboutthese brothers out here man.
You know what I mean.
Like, what's going on with that?
Now, I know that a lot of thesecorporations like I've seen
something from Nordstrom Rackthat you know when it comes down
to Black College Week, they say, well, you know, we celebrate
black designers.
They say, well, you know, wecelebrate black designers.
(04:43):
And so I don't know if a lot ofthe outfits that she was
referring to were, you know,made by black designers, young
black designers, that's in these, in these colleges and all the
universities, and maybe that'swhere all this is coming from.
I don't know.
A lot of people online had alot of mixed feelings about, you
(05:06):
know, her statements.
Of course, you have, like, a lotof young people who, as you
said, you know you know, theolder, the older cats are now
looking at us like they neverdid these things and all.
So I mean I can say, I mean,you got a daughter.
I can say, I mean, you got adaughter, I have a daughter too.
And it's just like I canunderstand in the sense that
(05:38):
you're saying, well, y'all didit and you don't want to, you
know, act like you've never doneit and look down on us for
doing it and let us live ourlife and all that happy stuff.
But then I also think, as anadult, there's certain things
that we tell our kids to saywell, don't go down this path,
because we know how that endingwill be.
It's certain things that wetell our kids to say well, don't
go down this path because weknow how that ending will be.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
It's your responsibility.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah, you have to do that.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It's your responsibility as a parent.
I mean, like you said, it'sagain.
I was at the Freaknik threeyears in a row.
I went to Virginia Beach GreekFest, the Aggie Fest, and from
the videos that they showed onYouTube regarding the Howard
Homecoming for 2024, the fewthat I looked at I was looking
(06:09):
to see if I could see somethingpertaining to what she's talking
about and, to be honest withyou, I didn't see anything
different than what was doneback at those times.
I'm quite sure maybe she, youknow, I would, honestly speaking
, I looked at the video and assoon as I heard what she said, I
just knew it was going to beworse than what you know, than
(06:32):
what she was talking about, youknow, but I just didn't see it.
I'm not saying it didn't happen.
It probably did happen.
You know.
She probably is seeing somecrazy outfits and stuff like
that.
Let's understand this.
These black college events havealways been outrageous, going
back to my time from 93, 96, Iwas going to all them events.
(06:55):
They was outrageous.
Back then I wouldn't say thatthere was women walking them,
but then again you had the beach.
It was on the beach too, andthe bikinis and everything.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Well, I mean, we gotta separate two different
things, you know, because at theend of the day, the Freaknik is
not an HBCU college.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, the Freaknik originally was supposed to be
you know something differentfrom what I understand, and then
it just it morphed intosomething else.
You from what I understand, andthen it just it morphed into
something else.
You know what I mean.
So that's when they startedchanging the name of it.
But even I think the last yearI went.
I think they tried to name itin something different, like the
Freedom Fest or something likethat, but I think I went I don't
(07:37):
know if it was 93 or 92.
The police gave up.
That's how bad it was.
In the freakney, like I'veliterally watched the police
just say all right, we done.
You know, I mean the street,the city went rampant and
everything like that.
So I'm not condoning what thesekids are doing now because
we're older, we're grown, youknow we live, trying to live a
righteous life, you know.
(07:58):
But you know to keep it a buck,I didn't see anything different
than what was done back then atthat time.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You know, somebody brought something up to me when
I mentioned this is that we have, you know, as black folks, we
have our homecomings, which, youknow, has its traditional roots
in terms of why they have it.
But when you look at a lot ofthe white universities, Worse.
I would argue yes, yes.
(08:29):
Except that we just don't see it.
I mean it's not videotaped andall that Because I mean young
Caucasian women dress just asbad as you see, if not worse
than you know.
These women we see here,however, it's like do they
really have have?
I know they have homecomings,don't get me wrong, I'm not
silly about that.
(08:50):
But do they focus more on thefootball and all that where you
don't see the pageantry of theirhomecoming?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
let me tell you something, man, them, them, uh.
White college events.
Like I said again, I was in themilitary, so I have white
friends, man.
You know what I mean at that.
During those times, man, thesewhite events are just as bad,
probably even worse.
The only thing is is that theyusually have it whereas it's
like isolated maybe that's theword I'm looking for.
(09:16):
Like you don't see much of it orhear anything about it yeah, I
don't know I could be, but itdoesn't seem like they're dumb
enough to upload all of theirfoolishness on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
And I could be wrong.
I'm not looking for it oranything like that, but you know
, I just don't see that stuff onYouTube.
But I know from these whitefraternities and white
sororities oh man, it's likeCaligula in them joints, man.
I mean so you know, I guaranteeyou, if you were able to put
(09:52):
together some inside video youknow what I mean it's like some
FBI footage of this stuff.
But then compare the whitefraternities to these black
fraternities and sorority man,the white fraternities will look
at them like yo.
What y'all doing down thereit's kindergarten work, man.
You know what I mean.
I'm telling you it's nasty outthere, man.
(10:14):
You know they go real crazy atthem, white fraternities.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Well, yeah, you know it's like Animal House man Stuff
ain't coming out.
Yeah, they stuff ain't comingout.
Yeah, have a dog on horse oncoke and all type of stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
You don't know what.
What's going on in them things,man.
You know, they, they, they getbusy at them events and a lot of
times even I'm gonna tell yousomething about, you know,
having white friends.
You know when, especially mymilitary buddies, man, white
people rent a lake, young people, they'll rent a whole lake, man
, and they'll have their boatsout, all kinds of other stuff
like that Bonfires.
(10:49):
Bonfires.
They're doing all kinds of wildstuff and the police overlook
that stuff, man.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Police really overlook it.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
They cover it up, they overlook it.
You know what I mean.
Unless there's, they'll letthem have those events, they'll
let them wild out in thoseevents and if somebody gets out
of order, they'll extract themfrom the event, but the event
continues to go on.
You know, different from youknow, and I'm not condoning any
of this.
You know what I mean.
I'm not condoning any of it.
I'm just saying that you know,when it comes to these black
(11:21):
events, they looked at like somesort of you know, wild, savage
parties.
But the same thing is going onin these white events.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Well, you, know what, something that we discussed off
air, and I mean we haven't, youknow, been on when things like
this were happening.
But you were saying beforeabout we like the only people
that kind of openly correct ourpeople, right?
So even if you look at thething that Obama did with black
(11:50):
men and voting, and then you seethings like this, and I mean
she's not Obama, of course itmay not go as far as Obama's
thing did, but it's just like,is it warranted to have to like
kind of do it this way If it'san open shame like the kind of
oh, she's right man.
(12:12):
On front street.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
We don't have a choice with our people.
These days, man, a lot ofthings have gotten out of
control to the point where yougot to say something, man, and
because again.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
She said the alum, the alumni, reprimanded a lot of
these kids for the way thatthey dress.
Alumni reprimanded a lot ofthese kids for the way that they
dress.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
So, like I said, I'm only going off of what you know.
I tried to Google some to youknow, some of the homecoming
events and I'm probably weprobably was bombarded on
YouTube with like the good stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So I don't know.
Yeah, I kind of research too.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I'm quite sure this crazy music that we got going on
now with these kids and ithighly over sexual, sexualized
content in the music and thesevideos and stuff like that.
I'm quite sure what this ladyprobably was exposed to was, um,
the after, you know, like theafter parties or yeah, just
before they're about to start,just just before it was about to
start.
So I'm quite sure she did seesome things.
I just saw from the videos thatyou know I saw it was about to
start, so I'm quite sure she didsee some things.
I just saw from the videos thatyou know I saw it was kind of
tame.
You know what I mean.
I won't say tame.
(13:14):
It's no different than what Isaw when I was at the Freaknik
when I was a kid.
The only difference is I didn'tsee and what I saw at the
Freaknik people was having sexin cars, all kind of crazy
garbage back then.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
But something that she said in that video that kind
of struck me is actually acouple of things.
Number one she was like theelders are there, you're doing
this around the elders andthings like that.
This is where the reprimandingsupposedly had come from.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
That's probably where a good point is made, because
again, the freakness wasn'tabout no elders Right right, you
know what I mean, you know, alot of the stuff that popped off
back in them days didn't reallyhappen at the football game.
You know what I mean.
(14:00):
It didn't happen in front ofelders.
When this stuff happened it wasat the beach.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Right.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
It was at the downtown Atlanta.
You know what I mean.
And not to say that it wasn'tno grown people in those areas,
but it wasn't like no alumnijust chilling downtown Atlanta
during the freak Nick.
If they was, then they was downthere for the get down.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, yeah.
And then she also says in itabout um, you know, it was so
much.
You know, rump shone andeverything like that that.
You know you're not an animal,you're putting that on display.
You're more beautiful from thefront.
You know, and we've said thison this show several times,
several times, like, like yousay, the over sexualization of
(14:46):
music and entertainment, andthis is pretty much all we know
our sisters for doing.
The entertainment is, you know,nobody's shaking their rum,
nobody's really paying attentionto what's coming out their
mouth, they're just looking atthem shaking on the stage.
So, you know, what do you feel?
Do you think that was you know,correcting that to say well,
you know, listen, you're morebeautiful from the front than
(15:06):
you are from the back.
Don't put all your value andwork from your back.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I like what she did.
She, you know what I'm saying.
It's no tear them down andbuild them up, kind of
conversation.
You know what I mean.
Like you know she didn't go inthere and just rip them a new
one, which she did, you know sheshould have.
But on the same token token,she was like you, like how you
would tell a young brother inthe street that's doing
something wrong.
You'd be like yo man, I see youselling drugs, but you're a
king, you know.
(15:30):
I mean you know there's godwithin you, you know.
I mean like, don't diminish the, the god within you, you know.
So you're telling them thathe's doing wrong, but you're
building them up at the sametime.
So I think she did a good jobshe did.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
But I mean, of course , naturally we live in an age
where people are not going totake this stuff lightly at all
and say well, you know, she'sright.
You have a few people that weresaying she was right within the
comments I'd love to see somefootage of what she's talking
about.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
See, and again, I'm quite sure, because initially,
when you told me about thistopic, I was thinking oh yeah,
as soon as I log on to this, I'mabout to see a bunch of these
little girls looking like uh,what's the little rap girl
gorilla, girl, gorilla and IceSpice and all them Ice Spice and
all them goofy bras.
You know what I mean.
I thought we was going to seesome of that, but you know from
the daytime footage of the thegood stuff that was.
(16:15):
You know that's on YouTube.
I just saw the now again.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
That's just one.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
That's somebody's point interview you know I mean.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
So yeah, it might have.
It might be some videos outthere, something crazy you know.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I mean like yeah, I'm quite sure, I'm quite sure in
the daytime, and then you havewhat you have at night and again
, like I said, I question a lotof these young brothers out here
like man everybody in them.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
In them games ain't in howard university that's true
too.
That's true everybody's comingin games in Howard University.
Like I said, when we was outthere, we wasn't in college, we
was in the military.
We wasn't in college, we was outthere.
You know, having fun and again,I'm not condoning this we were
young children, we did dumbthings and like that lady right
(17:02):
now who knows, I don't know whoshe is or like that she might be
going to church.
Now, you know, when you'relooking through things, through
them righteous, you know notsaying we holy than thou again,
but when you start lookingthrough things to your moral,
your new moral discipline thatyou've learned and from reading
the scriptures and stuff likethat, you know I look at things
(17:24):
now like things I used to lookat and be like, oh my goodness,
that was wonderful to me at onetime.
Now I look at it and be like,oh no, that's disgusting.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Can't do it yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Yeah, I mean.
So maybe that's what she'slooking through.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
That could be it too.
And I mean you know it's againa lot of the young people and
this is a message to any youngperson that might be listening
to it, or if you know a youngperson that you know, you listen
to it and you let them knowthis is that one day you're
going to be that elder and whatmight seem young, wild and free
to you today, you know I mean,is going to be a totally
(17:57):
different ball game as you getolder.
If, if and that's a big if ifyou're mature enough or if
you've grown something in yourlife.
You know I mean in terms ofsaying you know what I mean, in
terms of saying you know I gotolder, my thoughts changed.
I got kids.
I got a family.
Do I want my wife going out herelooking like this?
Do I want my daughter going outhere looking like this?
Do I want my son going out herelooking like this?
(18:18):
Because, again, a lot of youngbrothers out there have some
questionable stuff on.
So it's like do you want, youknow?
Do you want you know, do youwant your people going out like
this?
My thought pattern might bedifferent at my current age than
it was 20 years ago, and itshould be.
It should be different, youknow.
If not, I wasted years of mylife if I didn't have a change
(18:39):
of thought.
So you know, that's just mymessage to the young folks out
there.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Everybody know that.
Listen, man, your kids aregoing to do what you're going to
do.
You're going to make mistakes.
I pray that you don't make themistakes that I made.
I guess that's what this womanis probably trying to tell these
kids.
You don't know what experiencethat woman might have.
She might have went to one ofthese events and, as a young
person, end up pregnant, orsomething like that she woman
(19:07):
might have.
She might have went to one ofthese events and, as a young
person, end up pregnant, orsomething like that.
You know what I mean.
She's probably telling you nowdon't get yourself in this or
get raped.
You know what I mean, because alot of people back then got
raped, ended up with childrenthat were on a one night stand.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
All kind of crazy garbage Disease, aids, all kinds
of venereal diseases andeverything like that of crazy
garbage, and maybe that's whatshe's.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah, aids People are working with AIDS, yeah, all
kinds of venereal diseases andeverything like that.
So she might be looking atthings from those eyes and
saying like please don't messyour life up, man, you could be
better.
You can be a queen, you knowwhat I mean.
You could be a king.
You know what I mean.
I see the.
This is supposed to be, youknow and I never really liked
this term with them HBCUs, withthe fraternities and so on.
(19:51):
That's supposed to be the elitecrew.
You know what I mean?
That's what she's saying.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
The talented 10th.
As elitist as it may sound, butthe truth of the matter is she
also said represent your school.
I counted that by sayingrepresent yourself and your
people, man, better than that,forget the school.
You know what I mean.
You got to represent yourselfbetter than that.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Another thing too, man, like even that thing with I
think they just put the videoout some time ago with the
Freaknik and all the other stufflike that and then they had to
go through all kinds of thingsto get the video put up.
Because there's a lot of peopleon there now who are judges you
know what I mean who'spoliticians and different things
(20:30):
, you know I mean.
Then now they don't want to.
I never understood that, evenas a kid, you know.
I mean like we would tapeourselves and stuff like that,
if it's something you know.
Like somebody had a videocamera, you know it would be a
nice situation.
You didn't tape yourself doingnothing stupid.
No, you know, I mean.
You know you just didn't taketape yourself doing nothing
stupid.
No, you know, I mean you knowyou just didn't take tape
yourself.
We didn't do it that that way.
(20:51):
So I don't know, this newgeneration will tape themselves
on some some of the mostcraziest things.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So you know they'll tape yourself doing crime, you
know, sex, whatever I've seen avideo where somebody was taping
themselves cooking crack andparent must have walked in like
they making a TikTok video ofthem cooking crack.
The parent walked in and lostit.
You know what I mean.
As they should.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
As they should.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Walked in the house and you cooking, crack on the
stove.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
You know what I mean Just openly, openly confessing
to committing a crime, and youknow this is what they do.
You know everything goes oncamera.
So again, I've always even toldmy own children, man, like stay
away from them cameras, man.
Because again you know what Imean.
You can, you can.
(21:43):
It's like, it's like highschool.
You know how we do somethingcrazy.
I mean, in New York it'sprobably different, but these
local high schools in theseareas like Delaware, you know
these little small areas.
When you do something wrong inthese little small schools like
in Delaware or something likethat, it follows you throughout
your life.
New York you might be able toget away because you know, you
(22:05):
know it's got so many otherthings to think about, not to
mention school is spanned out.
You might see a dude for thesefour years.
You might never see that managain ever in life.
And these little small areas inthe same city, these small
areas, you're gonna see themsame people again.
Yeah, yeah, I mean so they'regonna remember.
Oh, she went down in the, uh,the bathroom and took on four
(22:29):
dudes.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, something crazy.
No matter how old you get, inthese little small areas, people
are never going to forget.
They're never going to forget.
They're going to alwaysremember you.
You know what I mean forwhatever foolishness you did,
but now the whole thing about itnow is like, instead of doing
it in that little small school,you got videotaped.
(22:49):
Sooner or later, 30 years fromnow, your children might see you
being tossed up in the air insome club.
You know what I mean.
How can you look mommy in theface then?
You know what I mean, orrespect that and again that goes
back to I think we were talkingabout earlier is that when
these kids see your faults andnot to say that you're not going
(23:10):
to have faults as a parent, butwhen these children see your
faults, they start thinking ofyou as their equal.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, that's the big issue.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
You and your mom want to take you out to the club,
you want to smoke weed with yourdad, all that other stuff like
that, and he'll allow you to doit.
And once he allow you to do it,what happens is later.
He want to be, he want to tellyou when he's so broke, he want
to tell you what to do and he belike nah, we equal now.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, why am I listening to you?
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah, why am I listening to you?
You smoke weed with me.
You know what I mean.
It don't make no difference.
You know what I mean.
I don't got no respect for youropinion.
I wouldn't have, you know, thatkind of respect for my father's
my own father and mother'sopinion If they was out there
getting high and smoke anddrinking with me and in the club
with me.
Could you imagine your mom inthe club with you?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Some people doing it.
Yeah, I, some people got momand grandma in the club.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, in the club with them together.
Y'all shaking y'all behind, menall up on you and everything
like that, giving you phonenumbers and all kinds of other
stuff like that.
You competing with yourdaughter.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
That's crazy right.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
You competing with your daughter.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
That's a wild business.
That's a wild business, man.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
You competing with your daughter and then later on
you want to tell her aboutfinance, finances and, uh, you
want to talk to her about youknow how she should, um, uh, get
picked better men and all kindof other stuff like that.
You know, I mean you can't, youcan't have that conversation.
You know you usually you, youare useless as a parent.
Once you uh what they used tocall weed.
Um, I don't know.
(24:43):
The five percenters made this.
They used to call it theequalizer.
You remember that.
You know why it's called theequalizer, because once you're a
smoke, I don't care if you're60 or you're 5, you're all on
the same page.
You know what I mean.
Yeah, and that's how these kidslook at it.
Once you drink a drink with me,you get as drunk as I do.
(25:04):
You get as high as I do.
You get as high as I am.
You know we partied.
You did all the stupid stuff inthe party I did.
You can't come home and be momand dad no more.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Nah, it goes out the window.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
It goes out the window.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
But yeah, that's our message to the people.
So I just ask y'all that'slistening this lady, the black
Shea, say what she say inregards to the young girl's
dressing at the Howardhomecomings or the HBCU
homecoming.
Was she right?
Do you think she was right?
(25:37):
Do you think she was wrong?
You can leave it in thecomments, let us know.
I mean, we all ears to hearthis one, because I'm pretty
sure there's like a lot ofvaried opinions on this.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Man, hold on, let me say this I remember years ago
and I think we just talked aboutthis when, uh, c delores tuck
was rolling over them cds andwhatever, whatever tupac, and
I'm not being young and sayinglike, ah man, you know that's
bad, you know why is she doingthat, or whatever, like that.
I want to get a bulldozer androlling over some of these cds
and dvds.
Now, man, you know, I mean youknow, with some of these CDs and
DVDs, now, man, you know what Imean.
You know, with some of theseyoung women, the music that
(26:09):
they're putting out and stufflike that.
Young.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Brothers too.
Man, I heard some crazy stufftoday.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
As you get older.
Like you said, man, we'regetting older.
Nobody wants to play holierthan thou.
You know what I mean, because Ialways want to speak to
children and say you know, likeyo, I drank liquor and I did
those things, but I got kidneyissues as a result of that.
You know, you got children outof wedlock as a result of that.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Broken homes in regard.
You know these are the thingsthat come with that.
You know it may seem fun at thetime, but all of those things
can come back and really onemistake can alter your life.
We're not just talking about,we're just giving it down to.
Maybe you might sleep withsomebody you shouldn't.
Now you got a child withsomebody you can't even stand.
(27:04):
Maybe you went to a club andyou high and everything like
that.
I've been with friends andfamily members that you know
ended their life.
You know what I mean, in theclub, thinking it was just going
to be a good night.
You know what I mean.
Things can change man, so maybethat's why this lady is talking
.
I mean, maybe we might be goinga little too extreme, but
(27:24):
that's what this lady is talkingabout man.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
You know might be going a little too extreme, but
that's what that lady talkingabout.
Man, you know, like shopping upman, we like people, yep, and
that's what it is, you know.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
I mean so listen, um, lighten up man, did you see
obama's detroit rally the otherday?
No, but I heard about it yeah,yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
um got on stage and I rapped with the crowd, quoting
Eminem lyrics.
Actually, oh yeah, I heardabout that.
I heard about that.
I'm going to let y'all listento this.
This is Obama, you know.
Don't lose yourself.
Check this out.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
You know I have done a lot of rallies so I don't
usually get nervous, but I wasfeeling some kind of way
following Eminem.
Now I notice my palms aresweaty, knees, weak arms are
(28:21):
heavy, vomit on my sweateralready minds are forgetting.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I'm nervous, butitome , of what you have to be, to be.
He's probably the best blackpolitician we've ever had in our
life, man.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
He's actually campaigning better than Kamala.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Obama is the kind of guy that you know, everybody,
everybody, black or white, wantsto hang out with man.
The guy is amazing man, youknow.
I mean I don't vote and I don'tbelieve none of this stuff, but
if I was a voting person I'dvote for Obama.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
He's a charismatic guy, man, but I mean you got to
really look at it like this manwith a difference maybe about a
week or so make, because youknow the black community was
tearing him a new, maybe about aweek or so make, because you
know the black community wastearing them a new one about
that whole misogynistic manthing.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Obama can do no wrong man.
They probably just ripped intohim for a little light check,
but I'm telling you he's one ofthem people man.
He can't do no wrong man.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he can.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
No, I'm saying in my eyes, in the black community's
eyes, I guess.
In my eyes.
Yes, he can do a lot wrong.
I'm just saying that in thisculture, in this climate today,
he's like almost a cult figureman.
You know what I mean.
If he ran right, if he was ableto run right now, he'd win
again.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
He'd win again.
He'd win again.
I think he's campaigning betterthan Kamala Harris.
Yeah, no, that's what I'msaying, man.
And then he talks the talk.
He talks the stuff that Blackpeople like that.
He sounds like a modern dayMartin Luther King man.
He got that rhythm in his voicein the conversation and
everything like that.
I mean he sounds more likeMalcolm when he's talking.
(30:25):
You know what I?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
mean.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I mean, I'm talking about the rhythm of his voice.
I'm not saying what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
I'm saying the rhythm of his voice.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Yeah, the rhythm of his voice.
It's actually probablysomething you know in the minds
of all Black people, in the backof their mind, when you hear
him you're like, oh snap, youknow what I mean.
I heard this before.
It's like listening to BiggieSmalls or something like that.
(31:04):
What was it?
Juicy.
You know what I mean.
In the back of black people'smind, once they heard Biggie
Smalls, they just the same waythat went with Obama.
When they hear him, theyprobably just hear the kind of
the vibe of a Martin and aMalcolm.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I'll be honest with you because they've been going
hard in Detroit in terms ofcampaigning because it's an
important state.
But stuff like this mightactually push Harris over the
edge, man.
Supposedly she was leading.
I I think a lot of peoplesaying those polls that the cnn
and everybody's giving everybodyis a little bit um, you know, I
(31:38):
mean choppy in itself in termsof some say that she's losing,
some say that it's 50 50, somesay that you know one is winning
, the other isn't.
If it is that type of case, Ithink that these little things
might push it over man.
We only got about two weeks.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Like you said, we don't care either way, I don't
care either way, it's likemonths to me.
I heard Mase say today which Isaid a long time ago, man, I was
watching Cam and them sportsshow and they said you know the
lesser of two evils.
I don't accept it.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yeah, you evil yourself If you vote for the
lesser of two evils.
You evil I don't accept it.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I don't accept the choices man.
You know what I mean.
So again, she might win.
Actually, I thought she wasgoing to win.
Actually I thought she wasgoing to win.
She had a real strong pushafter they flipped her and got
Biden out of it.
But now I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
I honestly thought that thing that happened last
week might have kind of damagedit, because you need the black
male vote For Obama to say whathe has said and a lot of people
take offense to it.
I honestly thought that thatmight have been something that's
jacked up.
You know what I mean.
So maybe this was his way ofwinning back that crowd.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
And listen, man, and again this is what we come to.
Let me tell you, I'm hopingthat somebody when this, you
know, I hope this election goover soon.
I can't stand these dog onconstant videos of Trump
campaigning videos of Trump.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
It's overkill man.
It's two things I want to seedone quick.
It's this election and Puffy'sthing.
I want to see those things oververy, very quick.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Let us see the man real charges and what he getting
charged on.
You know what I mean, BecauseI'm tired of hearing these are
two things that have.
It clouds my social media.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I can't even get nothing on there.
They ruin the news cycle.
Nothing else is on the newscycle.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Every day Puff comes out with a new victim.
You know somebody's suing himor whatever like that.
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
It's like we said when we talked to Tia also a
couple weeks ago.
Listen, you know, as podcasters, content creators, whatever,
that's everybody's dream to beable to just go ahead and eat
off this dude.
But at the end of the day, it'slike if I tell you somebody's
opening up a school, no views,16 in the hundreds.
(34:06):
All I gotta do is put Diddy ina tag line and next thing, you
know, it's like thousands ofviews over.
You know just his name alone.
Let's be honest, you know whatI mean.
So, yeah, it's good for us, butat the end of the day, you want
to hear something with some,you know, with some content in
it man Some good information,Especially with Black people.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
I mean we just had a major what hurricane?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
yeah, major hurricane , and the major news right now
is fuck that, people die, a lotof people have died you don't
see, like really like, what'sgoing to be done about that, but
it's just like it's a lot ofnews that's out there that
nobody's talking about, you knowthey don't care about what's
going on in the Middle East.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
You know what I mean in China.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
McDonald's poisoned several people just as of late,
ruining their business.
You know what I mean nobodycares about that major bombing
in the Middle East.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Nobody worry about this people want to know how
many people.
What new celebrity is in one ofthese videos and cares, man?
Like they said a long, likewe've been saying a long time
ago, man, this ain't nothingdifferent.
The way he was on, the probablyhalf the probably took it to a
whole another level.
You know, I mean during thattime, man pedophilia and stuff
was going on bill cosby.
(35:25):
Bill cosby said it best.
You know it was the time.
You know what I mean.
It was like you give a Quaalude.
That's what everybody did backthen.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I tell everybody on.
YouTube His name escapes me atthe moment, but look at the man
who started MGM Metro, goldwynMayer I believe his last name
was Mayer and he is every bit ofthe Puff Daddy Suge Knight,
clive Davis, probably theforerunner of everything that
(35:56):
you see in the music and musicindustry right now the movie and
music industry, pardon me.
So it's like if you look atthat documentary and see the
things that he made yourfavorite starlets go through and
your favorite leading men gothrough to get where they had to
be, I just saw a video todaywith Willie D and Yo-Yo and.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Yo-Yo said told Willie D on the show he's like
you're in the industry.
It's been going on.
This is this is no.
This is not.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
He's not the only one well, you've seen the
abercrombie and fitch.
Oh, in fact, I'm glad that we,we, we here.
Uh, you didn't see about thatlike this.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I'm gonna give you my story abercrombie and fitch.
My son, well you know, son'smother bought some clothes there
one time.
I remember walking intoabercrombie and fitch and there
was a bunch of pictures in thereof men all over each other and
all kinds of other stuff likethat.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Young boys, it wasn't even men.
Young boys.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Yeah, they all got their shirts off and roughing
each other up and all that othercrazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Oh yeah, man, yeah.
So, like I said, when they'rebanging these guys on sex
trafficking, they pretty muchadvertise to you what that was
years ago, because every pictureand I know what you're talking
about you go in their store,every picture that hangs up.
It's like an erotic art galleryof young boys in really weird
positions with their shirts off.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
And I bought some Abercrombie Fitch stuff.
But you know, when I used tobuy it, I used to buy it.
I probably I bought maybe outof other stores or something
like that, or I don't know how Igot it.
But I don't never reallyremember of walking in the store
.
But the one time I actuallywalked into the store I was like
what the heck is going on withthis, this marketing here.
Man, it's crazy.
(37:43):
I mean, I haven't been there inyears.
This is a long time ago.
I've been there but who knows,I don't know what the
advertisement in there is now,but back then, it's pretty much
the same.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
I've seen it on the news.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
It's disgusting man.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
They knew who they was marketing that towards when
they was doing it.
And even back then, before allthis, like you said, we knew
that was weird.
Back then, like you said, weknew that was weird, you know.
Back then they just said youknow why does all these?
In fact, I believe I was withyou one time when we went there
and we walked out.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Yeah, and let me say shout out to Yo-Yo.
Yo-yo said in my house I'mgoing to raise my son to play
with trucks, my grandson to playwith trucks.
I ain't going to teach him toplay with no dolls.
Shout out to the yo you want togrow up and move out of my
(38:36):
house and do whatever you wantto do.
At that point it's on you.
But in here, this is what we do.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
As for me and mine, we're going to do this thing the
right way.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
You know what I mean Shout out to her man.
I was like you know she, youknow I guess she from the
conversation you got to see thevideo.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Man, she looked like she fed up with this garbage man
well, again it goes back tocircle it back to what we said
in the original um portion ofthis conversation.
As you get older, you know Imean yo you'll probably like the
parties and stuff like thatback in the day.
But when you get older andyou're using terms like
grandkids and you know you lookat the world out of different
lens.
Man, it ain't none of that.
(39:14):
You know, just go be young,wild and free.
You better think about whatyou're doing before you do it.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
I'm going to raise some men who will protect this
family.
You know, god forbid if some ofmy family or the women in my
family are being threatened.
I want some men to come out ofthis house.
You know, what I mean.
I don't want no pink pantswearing dudes coming out and
talking about they trying toprotect us.
You know what I mean.
(39:41):
I want some men to come out ofthis house and then you know,
vice versa, we want some ladiesto come out of this house.
You know, out of your lineage,man, you want to be able to go
somewhere.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
Classy women.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Classy women, man, you know what I mean and it's
sad to say because, like thelady just said in herself, even
these so-called elite ones.
Now, you know what I mean,they're popping it.
But then again, look at what'sgoing on with the elite women
Now, the so-called, these elitewomen that we hold in high
(40:15):
regard.
They out here in these clubs,some of these better actresses
and women professionals andwhatever that.
They don't remember what?
What did we have to show onwhen it was a the judge out
there acting like a nut?
oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah thefemale black judge out there
(40:36):
acting like a nut.
She was a judge crazy.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Yeah, she's.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
Yeah, I know what you're talking about I mean this
is where this is where we atman.
So you know, and I hate to getdown on our own, but cause every
race is doing it yeah, but youknow every race is doing it but
we look at more for doing it wedeteriorate man, the whole
(41:01):
society.
It's like sad to say, because Iguess we look at women to be our
more flagrant backbone of thisearth man.
And you know, I guess we lookat women to be our moral fiber
and backbone of this earth man.
And, uh, you know so, go towomen.
You know pretty much, so go sogo to men so go, everything else
, you know I mean, but uh, youknow, it's just like the moral
fiber of it.
You know I mean because thewomen raise children and you
(41:23):
know most children you, wherethey develop right and wrong
from, is their mom.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Yeah, first teachers.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
You know, and if your mom is going to try Wednesdays?
you know, what I mean.
And you're 23 years old, youknow she's dressing up crazy and
wild.
What exactly are you going todo?
Yeah, man, you know what I mean.
I'm seeing a video right nowthat's going viral with this
little she dressing up crazy andwild.
What exactly are you going todo?
Yeah, man, I'm seeing a videoright now that's going viral
(41:52):
where this little Spanish girlis like talking to her mom, but
she's dancing and she's dancingreal sexual and it's one of the
biggest videos, viral videosright now.
You know what I mean and I'mlike, and everybody you know.
Even now I guess the family islike all right, well, we ate off
of that video, let's go do somemore.
(42:14):
You know what I mean.
And they're not really got anygirl dancing like in all the
videos, but this one particularvideo, this little girl is
dancing provocative as a littlegirl and I'm like it's crazy.
You allow that.
Everybody in the comments isloving it.
You would think a father wouldbe like oh heck, no, you're not
putting my baby out theredancing like.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
You know, like this on no camera was pops on it too
I don't even know it was.
Speaker 3 (42:40):
It was me, I think it was men on the video.
It was definitely, you know,women, grown women there, you
know mean they just laughing atit.
I was like, all right, yeah,man, one of the biggest, one of
the most viral videos right nowis that little girl dancing, you
know, dancing, really sexual.
And where would she learn thatat an early age?
(43:01):
She's like, look like she'sabout four or five years old,
it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
She's going and doing it in the schools and they
judge her.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
Yeah, yeah, you know, maybe we're getting too old man
.
Speaker 2 (43:12):
Could be.
I'm going to hit this one.
Speaker 3 (43:15):
Maybe we're getting too old.
My people, my people, how long?
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Hmm, how long?
Why do we do this to oneanother?
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Exactly.
You're going to be hearing alot of that during this show.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
All right, man, we're going to get ready to wrap up,
but yeah, just thought we'dtouch on those topics real quick
man.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (43:44):
And before we wrap up , man, just let people know, the
young people know, man, nobodyis, nobody acts holy in India.
Man, your parents and most ofyour parents done probably did
drugs done, did alcohol done,partied, done, did a lot of this
wild stuff.
And you know, when you putthese kind of videos out, like
you said, these kids get on hereand put you know comments on it
(44:05):
and try to tear it up with thewhole.
Yeah, you guys did that to her.
But maybe that's why peopletell you that, man, because they
don't want you to make the samemistakes man.
Speaker 2 (44:16):
So that's really what it is Exactly.
So you're trying to raisepieces of better, pieces of us.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (44:20):
I mean, that's what it is.
Alright, charles, we're goingto wrap this one up, but just a
quick little common senseconversation.
