Forecast Media Radio Network with the Mario Washington, qu Kittles,
Black Trump and Grand Wiz. Will return next week as
this is a best of edition of the Good Old
Boys Radio Show, and you know how we like to
do it. We'd like to go back down some memory

(01:02):
lane a little bit on this edition of the show
where we play some of our favorite music as well
as some of the hits, some of the best segments
that we've had over the last couple of years, and
we're gonna dip all the way back.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
To twenty twenty three.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
And this edition of the show also like most of
the other segments will come from the year twenty twenty four.
Some some classic segments where we get into it. We
debate whether or not women pop back up later in
life because they can't find good men.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
We're going to.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Debate the legacy of OJ Simpson and discuss whether or
not he actually did it. That was from April of
twenty twenty four. We're also going to take a look
at whether or not partners people with less partners over
time value commitment more. We also talk aboutether or not

(02:00):
it's some bad idea to get back together with somebody
I know. Q Kittles often talks about how he doesn't
like doubling back in a relationship. We're also going to
talk about whether or not social media is ruining everything
with confirmation bias for one, just the name of few So.
But the music in this edition of the show all

(02:24):
stuff from like the eighties and the nineties. One of
the best errors for music overall in my opinion. So
we have some SOS band coming up. We got some
Stephanie Mills, we got some cool in the Game Man.
So we got a lot of good music on this
edition of the show. Back on the good Old Boys

(02:46):
Forecast Media Radio Network with the Mario Washington. This is
a best of edition of the Good Old Boys Radio Show.
And on this segment we talked about women popping up
today because it's hard to find good men.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Now.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
This was on our beat It Chick edition of the
show from October of twenty twenty three.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Do women pop up to day because they think it's
hard for them?

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Man? You think that's why people from your past starts
itering your life to think?

Speaker 5 (03:14):
So do they start popping up for what? Now?

Speaker 2 (03:17):
They start popping up because they find it difficult to find?

Speaker 5 (03:20):
Yes, yeah, I think so.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
And also too real quick from the last segment when
you were talking about yourself, Mario was sure Mario was lame.
Were they wrong? That's part of where I come from.

Speaker 5 (03:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
I mean, no, they're wrong about it being Lane. You
wasn't Lane, but I was sure. I'm still shut.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
No.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
I mean I think in some cases we would always
punch above our weight class, you know, so in that respect, yeah,
I mean most guys would want to go after the baddest. Yeah,
you know, chicks in the school like all of that,
and not everyone's going to be successful. So yeah, when
the tables turned, you know, yeah, you're gonna be like, man,

(04:02):
that was one of the ones I.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
Was crushing back in high school. Now now she's a
little vulnerable with this.

Speaker 7 (04:09):
And don't look the same and got three kids, and
now she's looking at you for the come up.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yo, stay where you at? You played your hand. You know,
I'm laughing at you.

Speaker 7 (04:18):
I'm looking I'm still trying to obtain the unobtainable in
my eyes because I'm I'm I like to be challenged.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
I don't want you. You're too easy?

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Are they really trying to get you for the come up? Though?

Speaker 5 (04:34):
But yeah, she remember me?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Remember that? Nah?

Speaker 6 (04:39):
No, I mean I definitely agree. Yeah, I think like
with like, especially the ones that you know stay back home.
It's like they're their pool is shallow as far as
you know, the fish that they can catch. So yeah,
like they're pretty much fishing in that small batch like

(05:02):
their hometown and people went to school with. Of course
they're gonna see some of those classmates that go off
and do amazing things and say when they return for
homecoming or other events, you know, there's an opportunity to
try to reel one of those guys in and they're
gonna pounce on.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
No, Definitely, I agree with that. I agree with that.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
But yeah, it's because, yeah, it's because they they like
like I think, I think you hit it on the nail,
hit a nail on the head because you said the
pool it ain't it ain't it ain't a lot of
good dudes out of here. And I've always said that,
like if I if I was talking to a woman,

(05:43):
she's downgrading unless she's dealing with somebody that was within
my circle. Because because because like most most dudes out
here are trash up and like you know, and I'm
talking about like like from my perspective, man, I feel
like any and no woman should be walking around here
struggling to like you know, if they bills stuff like that,

(06:07):
no woman should be walking around like true that and
and there's a lot of dudes out here that they
that they ain't taking up their their their part and
being a provider and stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
And then and then you end up with with uh, with.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Women who as they age, they realized exactly what it
is that they actually need and they realized that you
are that person, and you were that.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Person, then you were going, we were going, you were
going to grow into that person.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
But they wasn't really trying to give you the time
of thing because you were quote unquote laying or short.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
They were doing the typical thing.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Bro.

Speaker 7 (06:42):
They were rolling off of that emotion they was feeling
at the time. And then, like you said, reality set
in when when you start being an adult and realizing
that I got bills to pay, Oh, I got these
children that I gotta do this, and I gotta do that,
and I got to provide and be an adult myself.
And it's like then you start recognizing the adult qualities
and instead of oh, man, he had the fly car

(07:03):
or or he's selling dope right now or whatever whatever
it made somebody popular in the day. He got on
the new nine elevens or whatever like the Jordans or whatever.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
You know. It's just they get out of that emotion
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Man.

Speaker 7 (07:15):
That's that's what I think. They ain't popping up because
in this day and age, how are they popping up?
Unless you referring to the internet. People ain't meeting people
like they used to me.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
That sounds like people have grown and they're not the
same person that they used to be when we were
in high school. Could it be that they've just matured themselves.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
We're gonna talk about that out next.

Speaker 7 (07:33):
But are you gonna you say take maturity again. I'm
not gonna let somebody play me and then come back around.
Oh you're so different now. You might be, but you
played your hand already.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
Bro.

Speaker 7 (07:43):
Are you best friends with the person you believe you
southt hurt?

Speaker 3 (07:48):
You can't.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
You can't let something go after twenty five years.

Speaker 7 (07:53):
It ain't hurt, bro, It's just the reality of it.
Like you, you played yourself with me or or made
me feel a certain way. I be damned if I
go back and try to date you, unless I'm playing
you just to say I got it, But I don't
want it because you already made me feel a certain
way in time regardless.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
I don't care forty years past. I can speak to you.
We cool, but I'm not gonna get what was that
out of here?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yo?

Speaker 2 (08:14):
What was that drawing? Because they in jail now?

Speaker 3 (08:20):
When that was from the Beat It Chick edition of
The Good Old Boys Radio Show from October twenty twenty three.
When we come back, we're going to discuss the legacy
of O. J.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Simpson. Did he do it?

Speaker 3 (08:35):
We'll talk about it when we come back back on
the Good Old Boys four Gas Media Radio Network, I
am d Mario Washington. Back in April of twenty twenty four,
O J. Simpson passed away, and of course we did
an entire show discussing the legacy of O. J.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Simpson.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Talked about him as a one of the greatest running
back of all time. People don't ever talk about that
because of what ended up happening.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
He also was one of the first celebrity endorsers. From
an athlete's perspective, he was one of those first athletes
to become an actor. He was doing it all, but
we discussed whether or not he actually did it. And
you know what it is talking about the legacy of O. J.
Simpson and uh, one of the one of the parts
of the documentary, like I don't know if y'all remember

(09:26):
this part, man, but this is like part five. And
he was doing a radio interview with Wendy Williams, and
Wendy you could tell she wanted she wanted to hate
O J.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Simpson, right.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
And she after she said, damn you, OJ, You're charming.
And I think that you couple that that ability to
be able to win people over with, with the smile
and his demeanor and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Couple that with uh.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Uh, the little girl getting shot by the Korean store
owner Latasha m h. You couple that with the guy
that was driving his wife, his pregnant wife who was
going into labor to the hospital and he got shot
by the cops in La You couple that with the
Rodney King verdict, which then led to the riots. I

(10:23):
think you create an environment where, no matter what the
prosecution was going to present, because this was a black
man on trial, regardless of whether or not he was
a black man that wasn't truly really a part of
the black community. But because you said, a black man
on trial with a system that had been abusing black

(10:46):
people for so long, I think you put yourself in
a position where it didn't matter what the prosecution case was,
they were going to acquit him.

Speaker 5 (10:55):
I agree, I agree, I question it good.

Speaker 7 (10:58):
Oh My question is this, and again, condolences to the
Brown and Goldman family. Now, if these individuals were a
darker melanin, would this story have gotten this much attention
at all?

Speaker 3 (11:13):
If he had killed Marguerite, he would have never even
got the trial. Man his first wife wouldn't have even
got a trial. True, they wouldn't have cared. We wouldn't
have been talking about it as much. I don't think, no,
of course not.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
And you definitely wouldn't have had the nation captivated by it.
There was a local radio, local morning show, you know
how on those top forty stations. The other station it'll
be a local morning show like Somebody and the Big Boy,
And he was talking after the Michael Jackson trial about
this is what you should expect in the land of O. J.
Simpson being acquitted for double murder when we all know

(11:50):
he did it. And I don't think they would have
had that same base in his voice if it was
a black woman. Yeah, what are the incentive where they
have to even care of? Then? Nicole was white?

Speaker 5 (12:02):
Right, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
I think a lot of the people that were mutual
friends of Nicole and OJ, they were they basically were
forced to choose sides. I think ac Ac might have
thought that OJ was guilty, but he showed up at
at Nicole's wake and you know, shared words, yeah, spoke,

(12:25):
but it's like, how do you how do you deal
with the fact that your friend is guilty. You've been
loyal to him, for decades and he probably did something
so heinous that not only impacted his his kids, but

(12:46):
just as a c's like lifestyle. So it was almost
like he chose, he chose to stick with OJ.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
But how come we had never heard from AC though?

Speaker 5 (12:57):
Becausey because he's this case is still unsolved. How about
that part?

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Oh it's solved.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
Yeah, the similar food.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
So like I would say, this, man, there's only one
reason why. Like so number one Marshall Clark and them
did a horrible job prosecuting the case because you didn't
have to talk about the domestic violence history between O
J and the Cole. You had the DNA evidence. Make
the jewelry understand what the DNA evidence meant. There was
the Cole Simpsons and Ron Goldman's blood in the OJ's car,

(13:34):
in in OJ's house that Mark Furman hadn't been in yet.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
But yeah, that case had a lot of holes in it. Man,
I could easily put put race all over this case,
Mark l A p D.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
But but but the DNA evidence is the DNA evidence.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Man OJ had never met Roan Goldman before, what's his
blood doing in his house?

Speaker 5 (14:01):
And old because AC grabbed them keys to the truck
before he left. Yeah, came back to putting them.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
We are not about to sit here and say that
AC did any of this, But I.

Speaker 6 (14:10):
Mean, I'm gonna say I was gonna say, I think
Ron Goldman. I mean, I'm just gonna say it, like,
that's a lost and founders far Like, why the hell
are you going to Nicole's house with glasses?

Speaker 5 (14:24):
Put them?

Speaker 6 (14:25):
Put them joints and lost and found and she can
come pick it up another day.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
They were friends that yeah, that was her lover. Yeah,
I don't know, but they didn't say that, and she
clearly wasn't all well.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Chris Rock said anything bigger than Blacker, not bigger than black,
but bring the pain. He was like, what restaurant do
you know delivers your lost goods to your especially in
the middle of the night.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
I watched the theory about this that came out the
day before OJ died, so on YouTube. I said, y'all
like the video. I'm not gonna get into it too deep,
but uh, the guy in the video said we might
not ever find out the answer to this case. OJ
could die tomorrow and then maybe we'll find out. And
OJ actually died the next day, which is nuts. But

(15:09):
I think that I think that he was involved. I
don't think that he was capable of doing the murder
himself by himself, because he was a forty six year
old man, and Ron Goldman was like a black belt
if I'm not mistaken, right mm hmm, he was.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, I don't. I don't think he could have done
the murder himself.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
What do you serious that his son did it?

Speaker 2 (15:31):
He his son wasn't there.

Speaker 5 (15:34):
And what would be his motive? I mean, I just
I don't get that point his motive.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, you gotta watch the documentary again, bro, because like
I just.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
Said, he was standing outside Nicole's residence.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Who was OJ? Watching her get it in with other
dudes and stuff.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
And then he was like giving her a verbal tongue.
She talking about, how are you gonna sit there and
be you know, giving.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
You wasn't blowy blowy?

Speaker 3 (16:06):
He said, you wasn't thinking about the kids when you
was giving even Hilloy blowy in the living room just
with hear in, could you do that to me? But
and that guy that you imitated right now, Joe, you
don't think OJ did it? And he still don't think
that OJ did it. He said that he just.

Speaker 7 (16:25):
Bruh, If you got the kind of money that the
man had, and the and the people that he knew,
the network, why would you even put yourself in that situation?

Speaker 5 (16:32):
Like it don't don't add up to me.

Speaker 7 (16:34):
I don't care how angry I am if I'm upset
with you, dog, I quote unquote s thought somebody before.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
I guess if you want to say that, But I
wouldn't sitting there like I'm gonna go kill him.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
I'm not it's time to come.

Speaker 7 (16:50):
I'm just saying I've been upset with a breakup before,
and like you said, it's hard to move on sometimes.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
But like he was on something, you was on something.
You was on something here it outside your.

Speaker 5 (17:04):
To me, but real talk.

Speaker 7 (17:06):
I'm just saying, bro, if if the man had the
money and the network that he knows or knew, you
know what I'm saying, it's easy, like you're saying, to
get somebody else to pull that off. I just don't
see why other than he's angry and they want to
tie it and put the puzzle together.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
But to me, those pieces it's too easy for them
to put it together. And it's like, why would he
why would you might be you know what I'm saying
else right right now?

Speaker 2 (17:29):
If not me, who if not now? When?

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Man?

Speaker 7 (17:33):
I know right, hey man, they got assassins, they got
they got hired people that do things like It's like,
why would he gonna do it?

Speaker 5 (17:40):
It makes no sense at all.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
I said, I think he was there.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
I think he knows who did it, and and and
and and and what really reiterates this, I'll run with
that is what really reiterates this for me is that
the people who came to see him in his last
days all had to sign n d a's So so
maybe he confessed about what it is that he actually
knew on his deathbed.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
But we'll find out.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
This is why Paul Mooney. Paul Mooney said, the white
man who invented DNA was assassinated a long time ago
because it was invented to put in words in jail
not getting them out.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
He and he invented it. Huh yeah, So we don't
have DNA already.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
That's what Paul Mooney said. They missing the white man.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Now I'm gonna I'm gonna listen to Paul Mooney when
it comes to science. That was from April twenty twenty four.
The Legacy of OJ Sepson edition of The Good Old
Boys Radio Show. When we come back, we'll talk about
whether or not people with less partner's value commitment or
from our body Count edition of The Good Old Boys

(18:49):
Radio Show. Back on the Good Old Boys Forecast Media
Radio Network, I Am Fee, Mario, Washington, Kiddles, Black Trump,

(19:09):
and Grand Wiz back next week with an all.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
New edition of The Good Old Boys Radio Show.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
This was from our July twenty twenty four body Count
edition of The Good Old Boys Radio Show, and we
discussed whether or not people with less partners value commitment
more people think that I mean, well, according to the study,
one of the conclusions that they drew was that if
you have less partners, then maybe it's because you have

(19:36):
a higher value on commitment. And I do think that
that's that's a larger issue I think, honestly with women
than I do think that that there is some problem
with men. A lot of times you will hear a
woman say he doesn't you don't want to settle down

(19:56):
and stuff like that. I think a lot of times
women don't want to settle down. The amount of women
that are juggling like three or four dudes at one
time is large, And I know people don't want to
believe that, but I've had like a lot of women
that are friends over the years, and I know they

(20:16):
talk to a lot of different dudes. Now, they might
not be doing to do with all these dudes, right,
but they talking to all these dudes and they determinate
they sometimes sometimes a lot of times, but it might
be just one or two of the four that they
are Actually that sounds yeah, but but but I do

(20:39):
think that like a lot of women have the issue
with commitment more so than the.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
Men, and they've been hurt bro right right.

Speaker 4 (20:47):
At that part, I was just to go to the
question this I completely agree with. I think that people
who have less sexual partners definitely value commitment more because
you have less, so you're clearly committed to this thing
more than somebody who has a bunch, you know what
I'm saying. If you only have three network TV channels,
you're committed to watching those channels versus somebody who has

(21:09):
four hundred cable channels or four hundred streaming apps. And
if you got one streaming app versus twelve streaming apps,
you're committed to that one streaming app. So people who
have less partners definitely value commitment more. That would be
why they have less partners.

Speaker 7 (21:24):
No, they have a game, they have less gain and
don't have the courage to even go up and talk
to somebody they like.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
No, I disagree, because what if you are with the
person that you like, you're with them because you like them.

Speaker 5 (21:39):
Nine times out of ten.

Speaker 7 (21:40):
Let's do a study on that the person that person
because you like or you're with them because you ran
out of options or you don't think you can get
what you really want.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
That's an opinion based state.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
People settle, most people settle my ge That's incorrect.

Speaker 4 (21:53):
That's an opinion based statement. There's no factual evidence to
support that.

Speaker 5 (21:57):
It ain't none to support yours.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Is because I know some of it, and I guess
that Muslim of course, See that's different, man, Like that's
that's a whole completely different concept right there.

Speaker 4 (22:11):
I can go to some that are not Muslim, if
I go back to my grandparents, if I go back to.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Different time period.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
But see, why does that even matter?

Speaker 2 (22:20):
The world? The world is different now, man?

Speaker 4 (22:24):
Is it really that much different?

Speaker 6 (22:25):
Though?

Speaker 4 (22:25):
When we look at the history of the world history,
it is. But what I'm saying is this time period
that you call the world now is not that very
not that big compared to the lifespan of civilization. So
I'm looking more at the lifespan of civilization, and when
I use that night extrapulated down to the discombobulation, and
I look at how we are operating right now.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Like I didn't know, Terrence Howell was on the shoulder.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Of course, if you got less, you committed more simple mathematics.

Speaker 6 (22:55):
Mathematics like you said, that means you might not have
good game. You have to so people have to have
partners in order.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
To So somebody who only has one partner has no game,
is what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
Not necessarily, but yeah, yeah, right.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
But that you can say that sometimes about anything.

Speaker 6 (23:13):
That doesn't mean a person has no game, because a
person that has a lot of partners, they may be
looking for commitment in those situations it just didn't turn
out that way. That doesn't mean a person that just
hitting the streets and banging everything that comes their way,
they could be seeing a potential partner and whoever they're seeing,
and then after three or four months it's not a

(23:34):
good fit. Then six months later to somebody else, I.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Challenge you this way, why didn't they stay and make
it work. You see, if you're committed to the commitment,
maybe you would try to find a way to make
that work. So because they are willing to let it
go and then try again with somebody else, it's evidenced
that they value commitment less than the person who says, nope,
I'm only gonna deal with this person, that we're gonna
figure it out.

Speaker 7 (23:59):
Or or maybe they saw the crazy eyes when they
took him to their mama house and they realized that
it wasn't worth trying to save bro. Like sometimes it's like,
you know, it's like, you're not gonna go sift like
sift for gold in your mama's backyard when there's no
record that is no gold there. You're not going to
continue to sift like, oh man, I believe it's here,

(24:21):
and it's no one's ever found gold there. Why are
you gonna stay with someone when you know as a
grown man that it's not working. If you're a young
dude and you don't know yourself, you don't know what
you're quite looking for, you know, then then you may
be quick to jump ship when as a grown up, yes,
you're gonna say, Okay, we've already put this time in,
so it's gonna.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
Be worth saving in that aspect.

Speaker 7 (24:42):
But even as a grown man, you know yourself more
so you should know when to when to jump ship
or when to.

Speaker 5 (24:48):
Try to save ship. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
You're speaking to my point then, because if you're willing
to jump ship, that is an indication that you value
that commitment less than someone who says, no matter what,
I'm staying, make it right.

Speaker 7 (25:01):
But if you're in a relationship, this is not a marriage,
and I'm not going to stay somewhere where I'm not
where I'm not happy.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
I'm not arguing, I'm not saying that's wrong. I'm just
saying that to do that, though, means you value the
commitment less than somebody says I'm staying no matter what, I.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Actually agree with. What what is it saying right there?
M because I because I think that there is something
to be stated about like valuing and not valuing the commitment.
Because if commitment is is something that we value, I
think that once we get with somebody that we like
beyond like the sexual relationship, you stick it you stick

(25:39):
it out.

Speaker 6 (25:39):
Yeah, I mean, I just I feel like a lot
of people stay in a relationship because they're afraid of
you know, what can happen if they leave? The ramifications
are leaving. I don't I don't necessarily feel like it's
tied the commitment. I think it's fear that they can't
find anyone else and this is the best that I
can do.

Speaker 5 (25:58):
Well, that is agreement.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
Yeah, say what, that's a form of commitment.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
It's the same thing.

Speaker 6 (26:05):
That's not commitment, is going I'm staying in a situation
because I can't do any better but you.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
But but but you're still willing to like only be
with that person. Yeah, that that's a commitment.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
You're value in the commitment and it's not it's not.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Textbook commitment, but it it is commitment. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
And if we just look at life, the more options
we have, the less we value commitment to one option,
because we know we have a bazillion options. The less
options you have, the more you value commitment because you
got less options.

Speaker 6 (26:32):
So I'm gonna do like wee well Grant Whiz usually does.

Speaker 5 (26:35):
And that's make.

Speaker 6 (26:38):
I'm gonna compare it to your employer.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
You hate your job and you.

Speaker 6 (26:43):
Continue to stick it out even though you you know
that there's potential opportunities out there, but you're afraid to
take that leap of faith to see if those other
opportunities are better than the current situation. And I think
it's the same, same scenario.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Similar, but you still committed to that job.

Speaker 6 (27:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
Yeah, what he's saying is it's not commitment that does it,
it's fear.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yeah. I mean, but I guess fear can be a
form of commitment also, it can lead to commitment.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
I should say, well, I understand his point of view there.
I actually agree with it. I just know that the
more options you have, the less you are committed to
one option because you know you got.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
More and men usually have a lot more options than
women do when it comes to relationships.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
That was from the BodyCount edition of The Good Old
Boys Radio Show July twenty twenty four. When we come back,
we'll talk about whether or not you should go back
to someone that you were previously in a relationship with
and it didn't end all that great. Back on the
Good Old Boys Forecast Media Radio Network. I am thee

(27:52):
Mario Washington Up. Next, we discuss whether or not you
should go back to some one that you were previously
in a relationship with Whether or not doubling back is
a smart move or not. This is from the Back
Together edition of the show from December of twenty twenty four.
I think that it's clear that me and Trump are

(28:14):
more than willing to like pick yourself up and try
again in a relationship, and y'all two are not really
you know, all that app to do it. So Q
will start with you, since you like the anti get
back together with somebody, Why, what are the reasons that.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
You could never go back to somebody? I don't don't.
I don't even know how to explain the reasons in
that sense.

Speaker 7 (28:42):
It's just again me personally, I enjoy the digging for
gold versus going back to polish something up, you know,
I enjoy the scene and getting to know someone versus
trying to go back and figure out, okay, hey this is.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
Where we went wrong.

Speaker 7 (29:02):
You know, it's just again me and that person can
can always we can be the greatest of friends moving forward,
and you might have a good friendship that develops from
something like that because you do know each other. But
it's just that relationship thing is just I just don't
ever see that going back because of how I view
the whole dating scene. I enjoy that part of it,

(29:25):
you know, So it's not necessarily something that person did
or didn't do. It's just my own personal take on
relationships in that aspect.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
So okay, well, I mean i'd circle the block and
let's see, like I said, those individuals have a shorter leash,
or you just come to the realization that it's just
not what I want moving forward, Like you have to
evaluate long term instead of short term. So yeah, obviously

(29:57):
in the moment I was evaluating short term. It's like
I I just want to see what it's like for
the nostalgia purposes, and you know, hit it, you know,
a few times. But like when you truly look at
the totality of the situation, you just realize that it's
not going to work. So don't waste your time and

(30:19):
don't waste that person's time.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
Withz.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
I think it can work, but I'm not that big
on trying it in my experiences because I don't have
anybody that I would go back to like that, because
everybody that I've ended things with ended crazily. So if
it didn't end crazily and it wasn't dangerous and it
just wasn't stupid. Yeah, give me a shot. You see,

(30:46):
if he could work, look at Ashanti and Nelly. But ladies,
if he was bad the first time, if he was abusive,
he was violent, he was ridiculous like that, don't expect
this man to change. Don't put yourself back in the
frying pants.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Stay out of it.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
Hello, somebody.

Speaker 6 (31:05):
And the thing with the Shanti and Nelly situation, it's
like they they both wanted to reconnect, they just were
afraid to make that first move. And then at the versus,
Nelly made the first move, walked over there and gave
a Shati a hug, and then everybody behind the scenes
was like, I love that moment. It was so sweet,
and I think the Shanti was at that point keeled

(31:28):
and ready to try to make it work.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
But what happened in the relationship to causing to break
up in the first place.

Speaker 6 (31:34):
They were I think Nelly stepped out.

Speaker 7 (31:38):
And that and that would be and again that's a
public relationship too, so both parties have got to you know,
I'm sure nobody wants to be embarrassed, especially publicly in
that set. So it's like, hey, we if we're gonna
do this. We're gonna do this, and if if you
still into whatever you're into, then I'm just gonna love
you from afar my g Yeah.

Speaker 5 (31:57):
I mean yeah, I can give you a dude a chance.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
And you know, if he cheated on you, I can
see you giving him a chance for that. Ladies, that's okay.
You know I've been there to myself, But if he
was beating on you, he was abusive, I wouldn't do that.
But does really have kids with anybody else besides her?

Speaker 5 (32:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (32:15):
Yeah, we got like three or four more kids.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Okay, Wow, Okay, precious supportacious that's how he gets.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Uh. I think that I don't think that there's anything
that could happen that should prevent you from at least
a temping it, at least.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
Once again follow your heart. I mean, at the end
of the day, that's what it comes down to.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
I think I think you want to make sure that
you're sure that this is over. And that's just the
way that I view it.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Man. Like, I'm not saying that everybody you know like that,
because I'm not. I'm not disagreeing with the way that
you looks at you know what I mean, Like, maybe
maybe maybe you should like just okay, this is over
and done with. But I just think that sometimes you
can figure it out and things work out for the better,
sometimes after some time apart and you end up growing

(33:11):
together a little bit. So that was a segment from
the Back Together edition of The Good Old Boys Radio Show.
When we come back, we'll take a look at one
of my favorite things to talk about because I hate
it so much, social media or the full length version
of The Good Old Boys Radio Show. Follow us on
mixcloud or check us out on pushplaypods dot com. Back

(33:32):
on The Good Old Boys Radio Show Forecast Media Radio Network,
I am thee Mario Washington. So it's social media ruining everything.
We talked about it in April of twenty twenty four,
we discussed confirmation bias and how it's ruining things online.
Just to explain to people what confirmation bias is. Confirmation
bias is basically, if you like emin M's and you

(33:57):
go to the weekly Eminem's meeting, and everybody at that
Eminem's meeting is also going to like Eminem's. So you
all like get together every week and be like, oh,
Eminem's is like the best candy, right. That's what confirmation
bias is. That happens a lot on social media, and

(34:17):
obviously by people saying stuff like sexy Red is a
dope artist, and then other people will start saying, maybe
she is a dope artist because I already was thinking that,
But now I see that Joe blow Over here says
that too, And I think that's a big, big, big
problem on social media that didn't exist in the real world.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
Yeah, and I mean that definitely extends to what happens
in the household as well. When you're disagreeing on something,
the other person can easily just pull up an article
and be like, see, real estate agents are relevant, or
or in Kyrie Evan's case, the earth is indeed, you
know flat. You know, if you look hard enough, you
will find one nut air quotes or the think piece

(35:01):
that speaks your language, and you know whether it's accurate
or not. So I mean I think that, Yeah, anybody
can prove a point if they try hard enough.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
Listen, it's the same to me, like, wow, well we
had back.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
You're exactly right. I got this, Corge. I'm tinking a
lot of those moms, but you are exactly right. Uh dang, no, man,
it says she was. She was fifteen and her dad
was twenty three.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
So this man was wait what she was?

Speaker 4 (35:36):
A lot of those mom was fifteen when she got
praied with her and her dad was twenty three. Yikes,
that's after college, bro, that's after college. Dog.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
And you were no comment that man was doing some
car malone type time right there?

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Man?

Speaker 4 (35:51):
Wow, yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
So bank the confirmation bias.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
Yes, it is one hundred percent true. Man, that's what.
That's the new form of advertising now because I get
messages from companies that are like, hey, let's do a
branding deal. Can you promote this product right here? Or
can you take part in this what do you call it?
The when they show everything the product to a group

(36:18):
of people, like a field test.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
What do you call it?

Speaker 4 (36:21):
Yeah, the field test? Right, I get invited to those.
But they're telling me ahead of time, we would appreciate
it if you would give this type of opinion. And
they're trying to give me, tell me what kind of
opinion to have ahead of time, and it's the same
opinion as everybody else. And like for example, Little Caesars
Pizza Puffs were getting hit up about pizza puffs they

(36:43):
want to do branding deals with a lot of content creators,
but they're telling us ahead of time, make sure you
really speak highly of the pizza puffs. And then other
people are catching on saying, you know, I was curious
about the pizza puffs. I thought they looked really good.
That's because all of the content creators are telling you this,
So that is one hundred percent confirmation bias.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
I just feel like, man, like, we live in a
world where, because of our lives being spent so much
online that it makes it so much more difficult for
us to actually see reality about things, man, because like,
you know, like it's different if you were in the
real world and you were thinking something was outlanders, Like

(37:25):
let's say, like the people who like thought that aliens
were coming to visit you, and you were like, you know,
when we were like twelve or whatever, right, and you
got to school and you started talking about aliens, somebody
at school was going to tell you that sounds pretty crazy,
right there, bruh.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
And then you like kind of leave it alone.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
But if you get into like, you know, conversations and
social media and stuff, you start hearing an echo chamber
and you don't you don't. Instead of like finding people
that will debate you and challenge your thought process, you
just find people that think exactly like you, like when
you get into like these Facebook groups and stuff like that.
And I think that's like outside of algorithms, that's the

(38:03):
biggest problem on social media to me.

Speaker 7 (38:06):
But can we say that it's the algorithm and social
media though, because in our time coming up, we had
the OMTV raps and the different venues or mediums that
where the same thing. It's like, hey, okay, I ain't
listening to this saying, oh I don't like this Jamaican music,
so I'm about to turn Rachel off. For you know,
we had the we weren't We weren't able to communicate

(38:26):
and voice our opinions on that medium, but there were
people who didn't like it.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
They tuned out.

Speaker 7 (38:30):
It's just just now you have you're able and you
have the access to get with someone or a group
of people who agree with your mindset, and it it
just kind of totally takes you away from the other
side of that to balance the scales to hear someone
else's opinions. So it's like boom, boom boom, this is
all down your throat because this is your thought process
and you're with a whole bunch of other people who

(38:51):
think the exact same as you, So it gets lopsided
in that sense.

Speaker 5 (38:55):
But again, that's you know, that's that's America.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Though.

Speaker 7 (38:58):
Man, if we can't talk to each other or somebody
that doesn't like something that you like, I mean, that's
just Hey, you don't have to like everything I like.

Speaker 5 (39:04):
I don't have to do everything you do for us
to be cool, you know.

Speaker 7 (39:07):
But it's just if you don't get that, you don't
get that opportunity on social media, I'll say that about it. Yeah,
because you're so focused with the group of people that
agree with everything you're saying.

Speaker 6 (39:16):
Yeah, there's beauty and being open to oppose views, and
plenty of growth comes from that. I think what Liz
was touching on is another problem within social media, and
that's influencers. Yeah, influencers can be be bought for any
price and they'll promote anything whether they believe it or not.
And then because they are influencers, people stand on every

(39:40):
single word or brand that they're affiliated with. So to me,
that to me, that goes to the top of the
list more so than the algorithms, because the influencers have
that reach, and anything they say or do people are
going to gravitate.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
Towards why and why do people follow influencers though, because
like I ain't never like bought something because of celebrity
was using it. I never understood the whole concept of that,
even though I've actually used it myself in business right
where you have like a celebrity endorsement, basically or this
person uses it. I trust this person I want to

(40:14):
use it to.

Speaker 7 (40:14):
I'll tell you when Redman said he used Philly blunts
in ninety two ninety three, that's what I was using.
G if we switched from the Tampa Nuggets to the
Philly because Reggie said it.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
He said they burned slower, didn't he?

Speaker 2 (40:27):
No, he didn't say that. Mister Cheek said that.

Speaker 5 (40:30):
Yeah, mister Cheek said that. I think Big Boy said
the white owl burn slower. But we listened to this.
I mean again, how heavily influenced we are by it.

Speaker 7 (40:38):
But we like to do what people we look up
to are doing in that sense, and that's what these
these influencers are in this day and age.

Speaker 5 (40:46):
They're like the Hollywood of the But.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Were you but were you buying Gatorade because of Jordan?
Were you buying rebox because of shocking?

Speaker 7 (40:56):
Nobody was definitely not, definitely not. But but I did
drink Saint Ives because snooping insh hey hey, But in
answer to your question, I mean a cheap champagne with

(41:17):
listen sweetness to it.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Liquor. Man, it's like a bull man, but it had
it was.

Speaker 5 (41:23):
A sweetness, bro, it was a sweet Yeah.

Speaker 4 (41:25):
But in answer to your question, the Mario Washington, you said,
why do people care about these influences? And then you
proceeded to say you never bought anything because of a celebrity.
That's exactly why they care about the influences authenticity. So
we know a celebrity can be bought and paid for
to endorse a product. But mister chime Time is out

(41:46):
of I think high Point, North Carolina. Just the regular
dude s Johnson voiceovers is out of Cleveland, Ohio. Regular
dude Keith Lee?

Speaker 2 (41:54):
Have they have they gotten paid?

Speaker 5 (41:56):
That part?

Speaker 4 (41:56):
But here's how it work. But here's how work.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
Because the Federal Trade Commission says you have to let
people know that you got paid for this.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Yeah, okay, no, no, no.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
No, it's not.

Speaker 6 (42:07):
No, it's not.

Speaker 4 (42:07):
You're misunderstanding. People trust the influencers more than the celebrity
because they look at the influencer as just a regular person.
That's why they care about them so much more. If
mister chime Time says Charlotte's restaurant seen is trash, which
he has a lot of people believe that because he's
a regular dude. But if Beyonce did it, we feel like,
all right, PEPSI bought Beyonce, she got a contract with them,

(42:30):
but not this regular dude. Now do they get paid.
Here's how that works. If you get into a branding
deal with a company and they pay you, like the
Little Caesars was paying people to endorse the pizza Puffs.
You're supposed to click sponsored partnership and that runs in
the top left corner of your Instagram reel. But outside
of that, you know it's not because that's one out

(42:51):
of every maybe one out of every one hundred reels.
Everything else is straight up authentic, So it has more
authenticity then a celebrity because it's a regular person like.

Speaker 7 (43:02):
You, and you know you're a regular person with an
opinion just because you don't like a movie that doesn't
necessarily mean that I'm not gonna like that movie.

Speaker 5 (43:11):
Like I don't, I don't.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
And something that was authentic was the dude who made
the video in the Patti LaBelle Sweet Potato Pie.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
He ain't got paid a dime for that. That was
all theory then, and that and that made that made.

Speaker 3 (43:25):
Money for Patti LaBelle because it wasn't she was a
licensed thing. Right, Yeah, that's gonna do it. For today's
