Ever wondered what are the worst places for a first date? We're here to help! We're putting the infamous online list of refused first date locations under the microscope, and challenging the idea that a first date should revolve around food. Whether it's a trip to the Cheesecake Factory or a movie night, we're asking: should you be focusing more on your date's interests to make a lasting impression?

Switching gears, we're also diving into the world of hip-hop. From the 'bad boy' allure to the seemingly overlooked 'nice guys', we're examining the stereotypes and expectations in this industry. We're even listing our top five 'nice guys' in hip-hop. Plus, we're discussing Lauren Hill's record-breaking concert and what it means for female rappers in the industry. And speaking of representation, we're tackling the recent controversy around Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's wax statue. Is it whitewashed? And why do wax museums often miss the mark when it comes to accurately representing people of color?

Wrapping up, we're digging into the intricacies of creating wax figures that accurately represent skin color. With a broad spectrum of colors to consider, why do sculptors get it wrong? We're calling for more communication between the creators and their subjects to ensure accuracy. Join us as we challenge norms and dive into these riveting discussions. Whether it's about dating, hip-hop, or wax figure representation, we're ready to shake things up. Buckle up, it's going to be an enlightening ride.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know we're not.
We couldn't write to the chase.
Now, this is how we doing.
This is a new format.
You know I'm saying we go rightto the chase.
We don't sugarcoat shit, wedon't waste time.
Of course we got to give a shoutout to the culture crew, but yo
, I Got a new is that racistsegment?
But first I Want to ask youwhat's wrong With taking a date

(00:24):
to the cheesecake factory?
Do you find anything wrong withthat?
Because I don't.
Hmm, cheesecake factory ain'teven cheap.
People don't know what I'mtalking about.
I'm talking about this listthat's circulating all over the
internet, supposedly made bysome female or some females, and
it's a list of places thatwomen absolutely refuse to go on

(00:47):
a first date.
Supposedly right, okay, andnumber one on that list is
cheesecake factory.
There's about 30 differentthings.
I'll run some of them down ascheesecake factory all the way
at the top Applebee's, chilies,chipotle, olive Garden.
By the way, I love all theseplaces.
I don't know what's wrong withany of these places.
The movies Okay, that one isvalid.

(01:09):
It's valid because if this isthe first time you're going out
with somebody, you know that'snot really personal.
You know you sitting therewatching more, you can't really
get to know somebody.
So I understand that and,coincidentally, the first date
me and my wife ever went to wasto the movies.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
High-coach, shit on it.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
We went to.
We went to go see super badvery first movie, but but the
only reason it worked is becausewe had already chilled like we
met at a party.
You know I'm saying mm-hmm, sowe asked questions where we
already met each other is whatI'm saying.
We already hung out politics,we dance, we talked, we laughed.
So you know I mean, but if it'slike the first time you're

(01:47):
meeting somebody, like you messsomebody off on a website or
whatever.
Yeah, you don't want to takethem to the movies.
So that's valid.
Though some what else is onthis list?
Your house?
Yeah, you know, you probablydon't want to take somebody to
your house on the first day.
Any fast food chain valid.
Buffalo Wild Wings, I don'tknow, I don't got a problem with
Buffalo Wild Wings.
Wingstop, yeah, that's it.
Yeah, wingstop, ain't it justred lobster?

(02:10):
I don't see a problem with redlobster.
Okay, a buffet.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I mean shit, you don't, I don't know my reserve,
my high hop, you call it hop, Ihop.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
I think that hi hop.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
I don't know, no, no, hi, denny's.
We don't even have a Denny'saround here, so I ain't worrying
about it.
The gym yeah, I don't know whowould take somebody to the gym.
Church yeah, I'm not taking youknow.
Starbucks yeah, no.
Coffee dates a lot of peoplelike coffee dates.
Okay, ice cream dates.
Mm-hmm, family functions no,that's a no.

(02:46):
Movie night, like a Netflix,hulu, etc.
Somewhere that requires a longdrive yeah, that's a no.
Okay.
Bowling I don't know about.
I've been on bowl.
I've been bowling on firstdates multiple times before.
Nightclubs Okay.
Hookah bars, a bar for justdrinks, okay, even though I feel

(03:12):
like most dates end up at a bar.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
I get you.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I see what you got a waffle house, which is it?
Which is it what house Denny's?
I saw one the same, okay so.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
I don't know.
I Don't have a problem withcheesecake factory.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
It's not like an upscale five-star you know
restaurant, but it's still notlike you know McDonald's or
nothing like that.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
I guess it's more like if you broke, just say so,
like if you want someone to payfor meals, just say so.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yo Cheesecake Factory isn't even cheap, though.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
But it's like, okay, with Cheesecake Factory, it's a
bunch of options, like it'smultiple.
Now I see where someone isgoing with this, just because I
don't agree with it.
Like I understand, but it's toget to know you, and who says
getting to know you has to bedinner?
Like it has to be the firstthing, like if you already

(04:05):
talking and you kind of gettingan understanding of each other
and trying to get where, like,you both stand, it'll probably
be helpful, like to payattention to the little things
that each person says, not justher Like.
What are the things that shelikes, she's interested in,
catches her attention, likes todo, like, let's say, she likes

(04:26):
art, maybe first.
Maybe first they should be at amuseum, or maybe like a
painting set or something elselike that.
Things that kind of reflect theperson.
All these places are places forpeople to eat.
Like, okay, you're going tobreak bread with somebody
eventually and I understand that, but it's not going to be the
end of the bill.
You got to find the things thatinterest him.
Sometimes a movie is fine forthem.

(04:47):
Sometimes it is Because maybethey like what they like, and I
think this whole argument isstupid because you're worrying
about things that really doesn'tconcern whatever.
If that person doesn't likegoing there, your follow up
question is okay, where?
Okay, where would you like togo?
Now, if they name some shit,that's within reason.

(05:07):
Okay, if it ain't, don't Likeyou ain't got to like.
I don't think your first dateshould be like some suit and tie
shit.
Make a reservation restaurantLike this ain't getting to know
you Like could you just enjoy ina meal.
Like are we going to deal withthe other story?
That's kind of like like oneage of this, which one I'll

(05:27):
bring it up, it's about Oasis,but we'll get to that.
So, to make a big deal aboutthis, and like people are really
going back and forth and it'slike look, motherfucker, just go
where you listen to the person,see what they like, take them
there or bring up, bring it, youknow what.
Don't even take them.

(05:48):
Like I want to take you out ona date, and I know that she
mentioned X.
So why don't we do somethinglike X Cool?
Like if you pick a place andthey don't like it, you're still
paying for it, no matter whatyou do.
It's going to be some kind ofend result in regards to it, but
again, it's a fact-findingmission.
You want to get to know theperson.

(06:09):
You can take them to a sushibar.
You can take them dancing, youcan take them, whatever the fuck
.
But the whole thing is that Idon't believe that your first
date should be something where,like, I need to check my balance
to make sure I have the shitcovered.
Shit can be that Like man, thisdate, $85.
Fuck, do I like you that much?

(06:32):
You don't want to come intothat conversation either.
You don't want it to besomething that it ain't Just
what is it that you enjoy?
Let's try to do that.
So get you in a comfortableenvironment and we can talk and
see where it go from there.
But if you're all basing allthis shit around food, man, your
first date sucks.
You're like creativity.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
The shit, like you said, is all subjective though,
but I feel like this list wasput together by some
free-loading, gold-digging asschicks.
You know what I'm saying?
Don't take me to no OliveGarden.
Don't take me to no what youMean Red Lobster.
Red Lobster ain't even cheap.
Cheesecake factory ain't cheap.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Like, if you want me to take you to places that you
can't afford, just say so.
Like if you want to go to thishigh-end seafood place but you
saw the price, like the noodlesare way too expensive for me,
but for us it would make a wholelot more sense.
I mean, unless you put an end,it'll make a whole lot of sense.
Like I'm getting that vibe, butsomeone's like you know this

(07:29):
person's about the money,because the thing that I did
notice is like okay, so you putout this list of places that you
don't want to go.
I'm okay with that.
Can I have a list of placesthat you would like to go?

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Right, I think sporting event was somewhere
down at the bottom of the list.
What's wrong with a sport likeyo?
If you give me tickets to aKnicks game Shit I might love
you, but if you don't like nosports at all, then we probably
don't need to be dating, Becauseit's a conversation that you
already had.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Knowing that you're a big sports lover, let me do
something that involves that itdon't gotta be a game.
It could be Perfect idea.
A person like sports, take themlike Topgolf or some mini golf,
some shit like that, somethingthat entertains them, but you
still got the time and space toactually talk and get to know
each other, and so on and soforth.

(08:21):
You do it at sports events.
You see them talking next tothe person and so on and so
forth.
But again, that's understandingthe person, knowing what they
like.
Don't just do some shit, justdo some shit.
Why would you want someone totake someone to an?
Let's say, someone wants to goto the state it's an expensive
ass seafood restaurant, likethat's their thing, just for
garnering the price of it?
Let's say that you're allergicto seafood.

(08:42):
Like well, can't do that.
Like I'm definitely allergic toseafood.
What kind All of it?
I don't eat seafood.
Okay, so you can try somewhereelse.
Again, I'm seeing a list ofplaces you don't want to go.
Do you mind giving me theoffset?
Since you asked these women fortheir opinion, let me know the
places that you would like to go.
Let's see how that fits, itdoesn't all fit and it's not all

(09:04):
gonna work, and that's fine.
But to bug out about this shit,yeah, mm-hmm Problem.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
But I just move on, man, I don't want to spend too
much on this.
I just saw this shitcirculating heavy and I wanted
to touch on it.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
No, no, no.
Here's one A, all right.
So there was a story I think itmay be an Instagram video of
this guy who invited someone outfor a date and she they hooked
up, whatever and said I want tomeet you for drinks.
Okay, they sit down at thetable and she decides to order

(09:36):
four dozen oysters like 48.
For only two people, no for her.
She ate all 48.
Oh my God.
Then she ordered some roastedpotatoes and some other shit.
She like she took video.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
I mean, I know oysters are supposed to be,
what's that?
She called Aphroditejack andAphrodisiac, but goddamn Right
because he saw her order that.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
And then what happened was he said he was
going to the bathroom.
He left, he didn't come back.
He didn't come back, yeah, he.
So she, she, just she justended up slurping up the oysters
, just recording it, and orderother shit and everything else.
Then she takes a screenshot ofthe conversation had later and
she would like she would likewhy to leave.
Basically, like you know, Ithought it was me enough for
drinks and some other shit andshe came up with some whole
other skew, some bullshit.

(10:17):
I'm like bruh, like like fourdozen oysters on your lonesome,
that's the whole thing.
Like the whole.
If you're broke, just say so,like if I say we're getting
something to drink so we can gethere and get to know each other
again.
I believe it was the first date.
That doesn't that means we'regoing to drink.
She needed the oysters to getin the mood, yo.
If you need the oysters to getin the mood, man, this ain't it,

(10:39):
then I'm not.
If you need that, then, not tomention that oysters ain't cheap
, yo.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
I go out with my wife , I go out with you, my sister,
we, you know, we order oystersand we usually order like just a
dozen, just 12.
Right, and she had.
You know, we eat two or threeeach and that's it.
She had four dozen to herself.
God damn, and that shit's notcheap.
No, she paid for it because heleft.
He said fuck this, that waslike $100 just on oysters yo.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, but and she was like, and he was basically like
I'll pay for the drinks.
He said I'll pay him for thefood, like it's like the basic.
Give him money back, likewhatever drink you had.
Sure I'll pay for that, but I'mnot paying.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
He thugged out through the window.
He said I'll bath through.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
I don't walk smooth with the fuck out.
I'm like yo, you can have thisshit Like.
I'm like waitress, like Checkplease, whatever else you're
getting, that's all I'm out.
Why are you leaving?
Because this ain't what Isigned up for and again, it's
the first date.
It's the understanding thatthere's going to be drinks which
is on that list.
We're not meeting for drinks,but she agreed to it.
But once you got there, tryingto do some whole other shit,

(11:40):
which is unfair, because wealready had the parameters set.
Now, if we're vibing and we'resitting here like, are you
hungry?
Yeah, I'm a little hungry, thenwe can go ahead and get
something, but we ain't gettingfull.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Fucking Doesn't know what's in season Ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Ain't you going to get gout or, like I don't know,
some kind of sickness which israw, Like it's raw?
That can't be healthy at all.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
I don't believe so.
48, just raw oysters in yourstomach sitting there, followed
by alcohol.
It's just all type of poisoninside your body.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
And she had some roasted scallop potatoes.
She's so happy about that.
I'm like nah, you had that.
Good for you, bitch.
I'm proud of you.
Bye.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Speaking of dates, did you hear?
You know how Will Smith has andI'm not going to talk about
Jada today, but you know howWill Smith has a new podcast,
right, I was unaware, I forgetwhat it's called Something about
88.
It's about like old school shithe talks about.
You know, he discusses likeshit from the 80s and shit from
back in the day with people andhe recently had pepper from Salt

(12:37):
and Pepper Sandra Denton shehad.
He had her on and apparentlyyou know they try to date back
in the day.
I didn't even know this story.
He took on a date.
He tried to holla at her andthis was like when she was on a
break from Tretch.
She was like broken up withTretch.
They were like on and off orwhatever.
They been on and off since onand off, they were like on a

(13:00):
break or whatever.
And this was before Will gotwith his first baby.
Mama Took on a date, paid foreverything.
Pepper was like yo, he was justso nice, he paid for everything
.
He never let me spend a dime.
He always took care of me.
He was like he gave a homelessman a hundred dollars.
She thought that was so nice,but she just said like he wasn't

(13:21):
her type because she likes badboys, right, she likes thugs.
So he was like just will wasn'tmy type, he was just, you know,
too nice.
And then she, you know, shealso said that she kind of kicks
herself for not ending up withwill.
I you know, obviously, but itjust wasn't her type of dude.
She liked those gangstamotherfuckers.
It wasn't a guarantee wouldhave worked.
And then will said the onlything he was afraid of was

(13:43):
stretch killing him.
And Peppo said like yeah, yeahshit, you would have fucked you
up look, hmm oh Will.
We probably have some for somereason to have a feeling we're
gonna get a lot more of thesestories from will.
Now that his wife is out thereputting all her business out, I
have a feeling we're gonna hearhim open up more and more about

(14:03):
all the fucking bitches thathe's dated or has wanted a date
or has slept with or has hadentanglements with or whatever,
and I'm all for it will go outthere, tell the world everybody
that you've been with fuckingyour wife could do it why you
can't and that's the funny thingabout will even like.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
The stories about that are like cleaning wholesome
, like right right.
It didn't feel like you know.
I know she was fucking withtreachery and I knocked it down.
No, I was a nice guy.
We had a very careful.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
He was a gentleman the entire night.
Yeah, I want to hear him talkabout some Margot Robbie, though
.
Tell us some stories aboutMargot Robbie.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
I don't think he gonna talk about some of this,
though, in a public eye, andthat's probably married now.
Well, she's married.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yes, yeah, it's a part like it is what it is.
I'm not guess who doesn't givea fuck if you're married or not.
His wife, jada Jada, doesn'tgive a fuck who's married, she's
gonna talk about her shit.
She don't give a fuck if you'redead.
Married divorce she don't givea fuck.
You got kids?
She don't care.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
It brings up a good question about will.
Is this things being too nice?

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yes, will is the prototypical too nice, except
for the one time where hesnapped.
You remember that time when hewent on stage and smacked the
shit of a cup of a little oldcomedian?
Yeah, that was the only timethat he was not nice One time
ever, 50 plus years of existence.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
He's the nice guy.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
That was the theme of his memoir.
He was always the nice guy.
It doesn't work.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
It really doesn't like you could be.
Girls don't like nice guys.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Historically girls prefer bad boys.
That's one to the nice guysusually and historically gets
stepped on.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Right, you know the nice guys ain't got time for
your shit.
Like, like, those nice guysthat you see working those six,
six for your jobs, they don'tgot time to be bullshitting
around with you.
Like I'm gonna show you a goodtime because that's who I am,
but I ain't got time to betrying to figure shit out, or I
can imagine I can just pick thewheel.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
I can.
I can just picture will openingthe car doors for pepper,
pulling out the chairs, givingmoney to the homeless man,
saying please and thank yous andpeppers like now, what the fuck
is this man?
I need a gangster, I need some.
I need a grip or a blood.
I need them all fuck it up tosmack me if I get out of line
like make me pay half of thisbill.
I need them all fucking to pullout a gun.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
I think the problem is that if you run into like a
Genuinely nice guy because ofthe way society isn't how jaded
we are, you're going to thinklike what's wrong with them.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
I need somebody to curse in the music wrong
something's wrong.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
So like, could you?
Could you always think, if youever meet like a genuine nice
person, one of the things thatalways pop into your mind like
you can't be this nice and somepeople are because you're
constantly like, okay, so what'sthe flaw?
Like we never saw will's flaw.
It got revealed to his wife butwe never saw.
Like what is that thing like?
Why are you so nice and whycan't we find anything wrong

(16:55):
with you?
Pepper didn't that's thing.
Pepper didn't find anythingwrong with them.
She thought the guy was toonice, which is, but would rather
guy be too evil.
Like that makes no sense to me.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Like that I can't.
I can't even imagine what thecomment section looked at.
Like you know, other womensaying like yo, you fucking
stupid, I'll take will in aminute.
You know I mean.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Cuz.
Why would you want to be withthe man where there's a very
Real possibility that he mightbe out of your life for two to
five years?
Not cuz you broke up, but justbecause, like, went to prison,
cuz it you a perfect example.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
even worse, he went to prison for fucking putting
hands on you, remember?

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Remy Went to jail, pat held it down and apparently
some shit going on.
What that she might be fuckingwith a battle rapper, some shit
like that.
We covered it, we covered ityeah exactly Glee, you know.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
So you're saying Papus is a nice guy.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
I no, I think, I don't think he's a nice guy like
I don't know remember he alsopunched fat Joe in the face,
right.
I don't think he's a nice guy.
I think he's a loyal guy.
I Think he puts loyalty aboveeverything else.
Like niceness is not, like youcan be, you know of the truth
and everything, that's still bepretty much a generally a nice
person, but he, just he requiresloyalty more than anything else

(18:09):
.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
So he was a good list right there.
Who are the nice guys inhip-hop like?
What are the top five nice guysin hip-hop?
Obviously will Smith, maybe.
Maybe Pat Poole's Common withcommon would probably be on that
list right now.
You see that man dating history, common.
Yeah, here, hold him boy.
Yeah, nah, but yeah, but younever hit nothing negative about
him.
He's dated every chick, everycelebrity chick ever, and not

(18:32):
one of them, not one of them hasever said a bad word about him.
It's not one.
He just broke up with Tiffany,had it.
She said nothing but goodthings about him, just said that
they had to go their separateways.
And now he's with JenniferHudson.
That's you cause we're gonnaWilliams.
He's been with everybody.
He was with Taraji, he was withErica bad dude.
He's been with every chick.
Not one of them has ever said asingle bad word about him.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
My mom would comment like how long he gonna carry
this?
You know, like you, 50 Like,don't you right?
Like that's when people,somebody like no, and you didn't
a lot of people, a Lot of.
He just can't end with that oneperson.
Well, I wouldn't.
I don't know, if I put up mytop five, I will.
What will in there.
Like, I'm not ranking them, buthe's in that time five.
Hmm, easily on that list isDougie fresh.

(19:15):
I've never heard anyone say abad word about Dougie.
And who has he dated, though?
Too?
It's not a dick, just a wholeidea.
Just been a nice guy.
I'm like it was like a nice guy.
Yeah, like period, like you,just like he seems I'm just
shows up.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Does it be boxing shit?
Smile, and it's not like you'rebeing wholesome like you.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Just, I've never heard anyone say a bad word
about Dougie, like if you sayit's like if someone was walking
up to you like you know who Ireally hate as an actor Denzel
Washington like the fuck iswrong with you.
That's like someone say likeyou know, I really hate Dougie
fresh.
Like what the fuck is done.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
He doesn't anybody you think there's an error,
though.
You think there was like thatlate 80s, early 90s era that was
, like you know, backpackrappers, conscious rappers, you
know, like the Will Smith andJazzy Jeff.
They were like the little partyrappers, the kid in play Um
saying I was not a bad kid andplay.
I'll probably put kid and playon that little.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
I was some nice guys mid 80s or early 90s, kid and
right for gangsta rap.
Hit right, kid and play heavy.
D Kwame, what's in it?
Um, I got a me rapper.
Oh my god, who?

(20:26):
What song is it?
I got it made.
I'm special ed Mmm, but even.
But he was just on drink chancewhile and out, but but it was a
lot of them.
It was like it wasn't poppy butit wasn't.
It didn't get into like we arefrom the streets kind of thing,
yet it was all like Musical,like run.
Dmz is a perfect example.
Like it's hard to like thethings are going on behind

(20:48):
scenes.
I want to say say they were allnice, especially like the loss
of jay, master jay, and Whateverviolence.
That might have been soft, butlike it's.
It's like it's not necessarily.
The nice guy is like one ofthings like who is it that you
really can't say a bad thingabout?
And that at least gets realsmall the more and more you
think about it, because the onesyou can't say anything about,
about a generally nice guys,most deaf is not to live because

(21:10):
it's to live whatever.
Fuck shit going down with him.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
But shout out, what's I live.
I seen him at the hip hop andthat's, that's your man's in
there.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
But it differs.
So so, being nice, that's thewhole thing.
When you think of will Smith, aFor a particular generation of
very small my new part theythink of him as a rapper.
The majority was think of as anactor, and as an actor he
always Was cognizant of thethings that he did, that they

(21:37):
weren't Overly aggressivelyviolent or they weren't overly
like.
He didn't really curse in muchmovies at all.
Really think about it.
Who will like?
Even in movies it was like fuck, fuck, fuck, fuckity, fuck,
fuck, fuck.
It was a few here, a few there,without it, because a couple
times a bad boy, couple times inthe intermediate state.
But you think of will as anactor more than you think of him
as a rapper because there's areason, album and God knows how

(21:59):
long.
So the nice guy, things spreadover both things because as an
actor it's always likeFamily-friendly stuff, always
like.
I'm still pissed off that willturn down the role in Django.
That would have been a stretch.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
I don't like that.
I want to see also.
He also turned down the matrix,correct because, because that
he had a formula.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
He read a book.
He saw how, what the like thetop 10 gross moves of all time
were what they were looking for.
Like I'm gonna make thosemovies and that's exactly what
he did.
That made him a millionairebeyond belief.
But he could never shake thatstigma just being a nice guy.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Speaking of drink champs, I was.
I tried to watch the latestepisode with Kodak black on it.
I couldn't do it.
Man, I'm sorry, I couldn't doit.
I was high as fuck.
I couldn't fucking do.
I tried, bro.
I gave it like 20 minutes and Irespect Nori for sitting there
for two and a half hours withthis man and Understand
everything he was saying.
I couldn't understand a word.
His motherfucker was saying man, I'm sorry, there's nothing

(22:57):
against the south, there'snothing against whatever.
I don't know if it's thegoateef, I don't know what it is
.
Man Like mumble, shit is real.
It's not even just in the music, it's in the way they just talk
.
That that's like he justmumbling.
I can't understand man.
I'm sorry, I'm not trying todisnobody.
It's a southern draw man, it'sthat.
That's slow, yeah, but I can'tunderstand.
Nori's asking him coherentquestions and he's responding

(23:20):
with his noises.
I can't.
I don't know what he's saying.
The only thing I made out waswhen he was talking about Trump
and he said he would give Trumpa million dollars if he asked
for it, because obviously he'sthankful and grateful for Trump
getting him out of jail and shegive them the out of jail free
card.
That's the only part I couldsomewhat understand.
The rest of the shit was I waslike yo, I can't do this.
I gave it 20 minutes and I hadto take it off, bro, you know

(23:42):
it's like.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
It's like when you used to have a take deck and it
would be like a song.
Let's say I don't know what rapalbum, but it's like a song,
like a positive cut with three,four people on it.
Like you get to one part, youjust fast forward, pass it like
I don't want to hear that verse.
Let me hear the next.
Like that was cool that forlike two and a half hours, like
you sit there, he looked alittle spaced out or whatever.

(24:04):
He just talking in that floorto draw his and then Not saying
much like high on somethingright.
Oh, he looks spaced out.
He looked high.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
I just man's, I can understand his man's.
His man's was there sittingnext to him and he, you know he
got that Southern shit too.
But you know I was, he was moreway more coherent.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yeah, but I'm not interviewing his man, I'm
interviewing Kodak right, andKodak he not on planet Earth
right now.
I.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Was like, oh holy shit, what the fuck is he?

Speaker 2 (24:30):
talking about these kids got stopped doing.
Just you know what?
I don't.
I don't.
I don't have an issue withdrugs.
You know, nancy, like youshould just probably stop doing
like dangerous illicit drugs,like things that kill you.
Like you can't die from weed,unless you got like an asthmatic
problem.
You just smoke too much, youjust pass the fuck out.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
But you ought to be popping the prescription pills
and it was awkward to my classesjust dangerous, because Nori
would ask him a question and hewould respond with like one or
two word answers like yeah, yeah, and I mean yeah, I mean yeah,
I got shit or that good shit andI know elaborate and nor.
It ain't gonna be like asilence and then lie.
Let's get to the next questionand she ain't gonna elaborate on
that.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Let's just keep moving on and nor does it for
the culture.
But sometimes you got be likeCuz.
I know they had an interview ina can like I did just show that
I wouldn't even put it up.
Like this is just a waste oftime.
Like cuz, I know they've got toshoot multiple episodes of
multiple people.
There's a kind of becauseremember that when on that show
they're always talking about thecareers, never talking about
anything topical, right.
So so it could be any.
They could have shot the shittwo months, three months, four

(25:28):
months ago, no one know.
But like we got a guy like thatthat's in the can and you just
play it back from.
Like you know what Scrap thatwe're gonna, we're gonna skip
this one or we're gonna put itbehind a paywall like you.
If you want, if y'all want tosee it, y'all can pay for them,
watch it.
But we just don't feelcomfortable Putting this boy in
the air like that.
He just ramble for two and ahalf hours.
It sucked.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
All right, so let's move on.
Man, lauren Hill Just did arecord.
She broke a record.
She just had a concert at theBarclay Center, hmm, and she
broke the record for, like, theattendance for a female artist
of some shit.
It was like over a milliondollars, that she made some
crazy shit, mm-hmm.

(26:07):
And it was nice for me to seethat, cuz you know how I feel
about Lauren and obviously she'sstill relevant.
She could go up there and, youknow, wrap a little old-ass
songs from 30 years ago andstill sell out a fucking stadium
, mm-hmm, like that.
You know I mean off, you know abasketball arena like that.
Yeah, let's make a milliondollars.
Well, yeah, it's an arena, not astadium.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, she can, she can do Barclay, she can do it,
she's a Barclay, but how?

Speaker 1 (26:30):
many people fit at Barclays 20, 20, 25,000 probably
.
I mean that's not nothing tosneeze at, yeah, but it ain't 70
.
I Mean, no, I mean it's not theDallas Cowboys Stadium and them
shit like that.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, but that's like yeah, you're right, but that's
for like rare, rare, rareartists, like pretty much what,
what?
The Rolling Stones, beyonce andTaylor Swift, that's it.
No one else can sell out astadium right now.
I don't think, jay can sell outa stadium.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
The record-setting concert took place at the
Barclays centers on October 19ththat was like a week over a
week ago Mm-hmm.
It grossed a total of 1.887million dollars.
She set the record for highestgrossing concert by a female
rapper, mm-hmm.
I'm surprised like Nikki orsomebody like that hasn't done

(27:16):
that shit hmm, I Don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
I've never, I've never known anyone to have an
interest in going to a NickiMinaj tour besides her fans.
Mm-hmm but with Lauren it's not, it's her fans, but it's like
an eclectic fan base for peoplefor a long time, a Long time,
really like what?
The message it came on?
What 25 years ago?
Yeah, yeah.

(27:39):
So it's like there's peoplewho've grown up with it and it's
the only thing she's released.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
I could wait a second , I'll find we will discuss the
day.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
I could see if she ever leaves something else.
But it's just that, is reallyjust that.
So what do you do with it?
I don't know, but it stands atthe time.
So it's one of them time thisclassic albums that you can have
a tour and you can do shit likethat because you can Just play
the album, because people loveit so much.
But I mean, it's a, it's agreat flex like, say, women
hip-hop don't get that muchcredit and for her to sell, to

(28:08):
make that kind of record at thispoint in her career, it's just
an accomplishment 100%.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
I'm gonna end it with the new is that racist?
You let me know if this isracist or not.
Sure, I'm talking about the waxmuseum in Paris, france, the
Moussรฉa Grรฉvin, that Recentlyunveiled a Wax statue of Dwayne

(28:42):
the Rock Johnson.
Okay, some nice looking statue.
I got the tattoos on point, gotthe nice bald head, got the
facial features on point.
The only problem is that theywhitewashed them.
They made this motherfuckerlook like a white man and of
course, they're gettingcriticized and some of the

(29:02):
comments that people are sayinghey, somebody said they
whitewashed the rock, somebodysaid Somebody called it a
melanin deficient.
Hmm yo somebody said it lookslike he works at H&R block.
No, lord somebody said it lookslike the rock ain't never seen
a son of day in his life.

(29:23):
It looks like the rock is partof the royal family and I'm
gonna put a picture up on thevideo version of this.
You should.
I'll put a picture, so peoplecan see.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Just make a screenshot, just just put it up
there.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
It looks like shit but the rock actually commented
and he said For the record, I'mgoing to have my team reach out
to our friends at Grรฉvin museumin Paris, france, so we can work
out updating my wax figure withsome important details and
improvements, starting with myskin color, and next time I'm in

(29:55):
Paris I'll stop in and have adrink with myself.
So why would the French Make astatue of the rock and make him
white or make him a white man,when there's nothing white about
him?
He's half black.
Have some mowing and apart.
Canadian.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, but that's a dash reality.
It's not an ethnicity.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
What I get you right, so the right.
But he's not white, he's not aCaucasian man, he's not from the
mountains of Caucasus.
So why are they making this mana white man?
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Look, it's a wax museum.
They have a tendency to fuckthese things up, especially when
it comes to people of color.
It did the same.
It wasn't the one in France, Ithink is the one, one of the
ones in America.
They did same thing, beyonce.
She was a little bit too light,like this.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Is it hard?
Is it hard to color the wax?
You know I'm saying this thestatues of shit.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
I'm guessing something.
Keep fucking it up, sure.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
How come they don't fuck up the white motherfuckers,
cuz they're already white, makethem darker or some shit that
you don't make them darker,they're already white, we don't
got to add no more to this.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Like your whiteness is there, we don't got to do
shit else it's already.
It's set in stone for us.
We don't have to do shit, wejust got to keep doing this.
But whenever comes the peopleof color, they can't quite get
the tone right.
Either it's too light or toodark.
It's, it's never quite.
They just can't get a skin toneright cuz it's such a very huge

(31:19):
like even like so let's see youbeing Dominican, like being
Dominican is an entire shade ofWhatever.
Like you can really swing fromone into the other.
Like Sammy Sosa went from darkDominican light Dominican.
Now that's some skin bleachingshit.
Right, and I was it nowdecision all of his own,

(31:40):
choosing, and I get that.
But it's really hard to get downthe texture in the color of
someone's skin Right, like saythey want to do the white people
because you don't need to addmore.
Like it's pretty much like it's.
It's white With a hue of pinkand just kind of shaded from
there.
But with people of color itreally kind of comes and goes.
You can't put your finger on it, but it's it's a lot.

(32:01):
So like my tone is gonna bedifferent from my brother, is
gonna be different.
Like you can all tell you theblack, but you're also like this
, all slightly different shadesand with a rock, literally like
he's Samoan 90% of the time,he's black, 10%, canadian point,
zero, zero, zero, one percent.
Like he only claimed Canadabecause it's dad.

(32:21):
But again, that's a nationality, it's not a not like an ethnic
category.
But If you have other Samoanpeople, which I'm pretty sure
they probably have thissomewhere, then you probably
have a good idea of it.
Like see, you got pictures uponpictures upon pictures of them.
It shouldn't be this hard.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
So is it racist?
But at the bare minimum,Samoans are brown.
I've never seen a white Samoan.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
No, yeah, they are brown but again it's this
shading of it, mm-hmm, likethere is, like they could be
light skin.
Right, it's a lighter, it'skind of fuck up here, but it's
almost like coffee.
There's, there's a touch ofcream, then there's a lot of
cream, but still some shade ofbrown, depending how much you
put there.
But that's the thing.
If you're doing a wax figureyou can do.

(33:06):
You know, once is, I think,like once you add it, you can't
take it back.
So if he came right herelooking like his dad, like hold
on, now he ain't that dark, butthen it comes out looking too
light, like Fuck, you got Boband accounting, it gets strange.
Hmm, but is it racist?
No, they just they, it's.
It's them.
Now understand how these hueswork, that people of color, it's

(33:28):
, it's a broad spectrum, it weliterally come in all shapes and
colors, literally Everywhere.
So to get it just right, Idon't fault them, but that means
well, whatever this is gonnacause on time for a Do-over,
because you're gonna do better.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
They actually.
There was another wax museumhere in the States and fucking
Tennessee, the Hollywood waxmuseum in Tennessee.
They fucked up Lil Waynerecently.
They made his ass look likeSteph Curry mixed with Bob
Marley.
Did you see this shit?

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Yeah, it looked terrible.
I told what part of they're notgood at this, don't?

Speaker 1 (34:01):
you understand, wayne tweeted out.
He says sorry, wax museum, butthat shit ain't me.
You tried, though, and Iappreciate that, for it's not,
it's, it's hard, it's hard butyeah, but it's apparently is
only hard when they're doingblack motherfuckers right, cuz
they can't get the color right.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Like I said, white white people are basically white
with a different hues of Pinkand red.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
That's it.
Like fucking Steph Curry.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
That's funny as hell with Bob Marley dress looks
terrible.
But I say they constitutebecause they said they can't
never get it right and the wholething is like if I'm doing a
wax sculpture of you and youknow that I don't know if they
know that they're gonna do it ornot, but like, can y'all get in
contact somebody?
So I'm gonna take it like alook like yeah, I need to make
that a little bit darker.
My nose not that big, my handsare bigger, like shit like that.

(34:47):
This happens all the time.
So it ain't racist, it's justPeople not understanding the way
that color is not just black.
Black is a race.
Colors a whole different thing.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Yo, but that's it, man.
It's gonna be our show fortoday.
Man, check out the culture thatone.
Check out our fucking YouTube.
Yo, at the culture 2020, we'llsee some shit.
We got some.
You know, we're gonna put upsome more reaction videos up
there and some other shit and,of course, these videos, these
podcast episodes, yo, but I'mout of here.
