Speaker 1 (00:09):
Come on, oh all.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Right, let's not get a copy right strike.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
I used to focus only y'all hurts. I had many gifts,
but that was my own curse. But hold up, quit
a minute. Stuff that I need to focus on now,
not that.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Get your mom right here and your money. He's like you,
what's going on? People? This is what we think and
and I'm one of your host influence into the right
of man.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
I got bryceon Hello, what up? Bryson?

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Man's going on with you today?

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Man?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
I just had a Texas Toast chicken sandwich from.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Royal Farm Texas Toast.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
Sorry, I should have splurs.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
You said that. You said it like it was the
greatest thing in the world, and you was like, is
that it was?

Speaker 3 (00:57):
It was good, But I should have splurs paid the
extra nine for bacon.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
She got that good bacon.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Whenever there's a choice for bacon, I heard you gotta
get baking. I mean not for me, I'm a vegetarian,
but hm, anybody eat bacon. If there's a choice for bacon,
gotta get baking.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
That's what I hear. Anyway, I mean, sometimes it can
be too much. I've had it sometimes where it's like
it ain't neat the bacon.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
You know, but bacon ain't popping.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
It would have been good in this instance.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Okay, Yeah, I had a bunch of food today myself,
some pizzas, some Jamaican food, nice, nice Jamaican food, some
peas and rice and some cabbage. Man, what's wrong now?

Speaker 4 (01:42):
I want to say something, but I don't know how
it'll be taken.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, don't get us cancered.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
We just finished watching Centers again, so we're gonna talk
about that. If you haven't seen it, I say go
see it or go watch it. It's on even now.
You do have to buy it. It's not streaming anywhere
for free. And I think it still had the movies
too somewhere some places, so that's great.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
You can go to the movies.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I would recommend going to the movies, or if you
have a theater in your crib, I recommend watching it
like that because it's great. The sound. I think the
sound more than anything. You need good sound when you
watch it. God bless you.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, I think I enjoyed it more the second watch.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
I went to the theater to see it the first time,
and then I think I enjoyed it more, like you said,
because the first time I went to see it, it
was just the expectation was so high because everybody was
saying how great it was, how great it is. But
this time, there was no expectation. I saw it already
and I just enjoyed the movie.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, and it was I think, And that's not saying
that wasn't great. I think it was great. It was
a great movie. I really liked it. It's one of
the better movies I've seen the last year or so.
But I can understand that. I know we talked about
a little bit last pod, but you probably what I

(03:15):
said was, you know, I don't know because I'm not
in your head, but you you probably was like waiting
waiting for something. Whatever that was, whatever that something was,
that's something that you heard. But it's like a collection.
It's like a collection of the movie. And if you're
not waiting for that thing, like me, I just went
in there and opened. The first time I seen this
was my second watch, so I well, no, this was

(03:42):
actually my third kind of third and a half, three
and a half. This is this is my third and
a half watch. Because I did watch it. I watched
the reaction, person do it, watch the whole thing, and
then I joined ice Cream Convos.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Xav's watch party. Go check her out.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
If you ice cream convos, check them out. But yeah,
she had a watch party and that was pretty dope.
I was late to the watch party though, so I
caught it when I went in there somebody and the
chat was like, you missed the ice cream, you missed,
you missed. They were teaching you something, and I was like, okay,
so I knew where I was. But I enjoyed the movie.

(04:27):
I've enjoyed it every time i've seen it, and it's
a great movie. Great movie, A lot, a lot of
a lot of great visuals to me, and you know,
I'm into the filmmaking process, like you could tell shot
on film and not digital. I liked the aspect changes,

(04:50):
aspect ratio changes. I know you you mentioned it towards
the end and you was like, oh, it was dope.
When it was cool that you noticed it before it happened,
because you must have noticed in the movie theater and
when you said the aspect change.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
It when I was looking online at all the different stuff,
specifically when Ryan Cooler did that video where he was
breaking down how it was filmed in the different okay,
the different formats and stuff like that. When they showed
that part, they just it just looked so so cool
to me that it's one of the things that made

(05:26):
me go see it.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Okay, Okay, yeah, I thought it was dope, and I
thought the place it well, it was changing throughout the
whole movie, but in that particular part it actually changed
like slow, so like it was changing aspects the whole movie,
going up and down from the full screen, the full
imax screen to the you know, to the letter not

(05:48):
the letterbox but the with the bars on the top
of the bottom. So yeah, I forget what that aspect
is too, eight something something like that. But but yeah,
it was. It was just just a movie. Had a
lot of symbolism in it too, I believe. I think
it did. It dealt with a lot of things as

(06:09):
far as the error, because the error is like Jim
Crow in nineteen thirty two, I think, yeah, yeah, and
then it turned out to be hormor. Like I definitely
see the similarities of from Dustill Dawn. I was telling

(06:31):
you that you're not that familiar with Dustal Doll. Yeah,
I heard people say that he was biting us. The
doll it's definitely not that. It definitely doesn't feel like that.
And he said he has influences from Quentin Tarantino and
from that movie.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Dustall Down was similar.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
And I said while we was watching it that I
wish I knew nothing about the movie when I went
in there, because that switch up would have been it's
so crazy and Dustill Dawn, I didn't know anything. I
didn't see no previews. Back in the day, I used
to just go see movies. I saw it on because
I loved movies and I just used to watch everything.
So it's just like how I used to do music,

(07:14):
and it made me discover a lot of stuff. So
I remember dust from Dustill Dawn came out and I
just saw it, and I think it was the first
time I saw George Clooney, and obviously it was the
first time I saw Quentin Tarantino, which I didn't know
that was him at first. I didn't realize he was
a director and was the star. But yeah, like the

(07:35):
whole movie, it was brothers. They weren't twins, but they
were criminals. The one brother not that smoking stack was stupid,
and neither of them was dumb. But I think I
can't even say dumb. I don't want to say dumb.
But the one brother was like off his rocker and
dustill down, and the other one was more sensible, and

(07:57):
the other one like kill people just on a whim,
like it's somebody did some crazy stuff. He would kill them,
and the other brothers like what the fuck is you doing,
like like we're trying to get out of here. They
were like robbing shit, and they ended up at a
bar at the end, and the people seemed all regular.
Then all of a sudden, then motherfuckers turned into vampires

(08:18):
and start killing everybody, and it turned into like a
whole I never saw a movie like that where the
genre switched, because the whole movie was just they had
a family, they had had them hostage, and they was
getting them to take them across country to get it
because they were on the run. And it was just
a dope concept when I first saw it. And this
definitely remind me. Sinners definitely remind me of it, but

(08:40):
it was definitely different.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
It was. It was cool. I'm gonna have to check
that up now from dusk still dumb.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, I don't want to watch it again.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah, I wonder if I've seen it somewhat, but don't remember.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
You might have to have to watch it. It's it's
come on TV a lot of times. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
You know, you might have seen it, but yeah, back
the sentence.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
I know, I told you one of my favorite parts
at the time when we was talking about before, I
didn't see it, of course. So one of my favorite
parts is when they were talking about the music bringing
the spirits of the past and the future.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
I thought that was just dope to me.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Everything about it, the way they brought in the present
and the future stuff and well future to them. It
was more present to us like the DJ and looked
like l L. I thought it was l L at
first breakdancing, but it was dressed like l L did
in the eighties. I just thought that whole scene was

(09:43):
dope and just the sound, the way the modern music
came in but mixed with still the blues that he
was playing, and it just I thought it was genius.
I thought that the direction of that was genius, and
the just thinking about that, just making a scene like that.

(10:04):
I've never seen a scene like that where in a
period piece where they brought in and it. It messed
to me like it. I know you said the first
time you saw it kind of took you out of
the time period. I thought that was the point to me,
because it still had that time period. It just had
messed everything, even the cultures. I like how because the

(10:27):
Asian the Asian friends were there too, so it brought
their spirits in as well and their their culture and
ancient stuff in their ancient culture, like the geisha. I
think that's what it's called. Forgive me if I'm wrong
with the painted the paint of the base. Yeah yeah,

(10:47):
I just think all around that that ship was dope.
What was some of your standouts scenes? I know that one.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Girl singing oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that was my favorite song.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
That and the stumping.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah that was the dope bass scene too to me.
And I think it was the score, like the music
and how it was set up.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah yeah, and what was going on while the song
was I was playing while they were singing, Yeah, she
was singing. It was Yeah, it was good that that
part was good. You know the end, the end part
where uh smoke like shoots all the clan members. Oh yeah, yeah,

(11:37):
that was a standout scene to me.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah, that's like, my I think that's my second favorite
scene when he gets ready.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
What's your first favorite scene the.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Where dude sing, Yeah, that's my favorite scene in the movie.
I just thought I've never seen a scene like that,
Like I've never seen anybody do that before, and not
from my recollection, I've never seen anybody do that before.
I wouldn't even thought of that, Like I wouldn't even
though thought to do something like that, Like it's one

(12:09):
thing to talk about it, And when he was talking
about it, I didn't think that was gonna happen. Like
I thought they was just going to talk and tell
the story about bringing in the past and present spirits.
And I had no idea that that I was going
to see that ship. I was like, what the hell?
And my watching his ain't movie.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
So that was a scene of them actually doing what
the narrator was saying, like that that was actually happening. Yeah,
the preacher boy was singing and then he was tapping
into like the future and the past.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, he tapping to the spirit yeah, of his people, and.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
That's what brought the vampires the same thing because he
was he wants to do he crossed the veil and
that's what they were. The narrator is saying like he
crossed the veil and that's what brought the evil, because
it can bring the evil too. So yeah, that's I

(13:10):
like all the cultural stuff. I love that Annie was
so smart. I do not know that actor's real namet
why oh the name? Oh yeah won me. Yeah she's

(13:31):
not youring British So you was right. I've never heard
her British accent. That's why Wami Masako. Yeah, that's how
it looks like. Ope, I ain't butcher that Sorry, I
never knew her real name. But she everything she's in
she's phenomenal and this is no different like she she's

(13:52):
a really great actor for one, and for two, I
love the genre stuff that she She's been in a
lot of uh genre you know, uh like Lovecraft Country,
which was some supernatural stuff that was.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Like she was in Dead Pulling Wolverine too.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yes she was. She was in TVA so she was
in Loki. She was in TVA head. Yeah, she was
ahead of TVA. So she was in Loki. She was
in de Porol Wolverine and she played you know that
her part was was great. I think in De Porol
and Wolverine, she was the director. She became the director

(14:32):
of the TVA. I guess after the events of Loki
season one and two, or maybe maybe that was right
after season one. No, season two might have been out too.
I can't remember when it came out, but but yeah, anyway,
she she's phenomenal. Everybody in the movie did great, and
I think Michael B. Jordans this is probably one of

(14:58):
the best dual roles I've ever seen.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Man best dual roles since Van Dam and Double Impact.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Just kidding, yo, I forgot about that movie. That was
a pretty good job though.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
I think that.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
That was a dual role, wasn't it. I forgot all
about that movie. Yeah, no, no, Double Impact. I remember
that being my ship. But I was like eight, so
I don't know. I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
I'm like, yo, when his hair slicked back, he's the
one brother and he's like more mean and stuff, and
when it's not like no, but no, he that was
good too. I think that was a good portrayal. You know,
that's funny because like, yeah, but but to get back
to center.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
But Michauld be Jordan's I think not only it. I'm
just not even talking about the acting, like just how
they did the direction in the effects, if they had
any effects. I don't know what type of effects. I mean,
they had to have some type of editing effect where

(16:07):
they could bind it together. But that even seemed seamless,
because most of the time when people do dual roles,
they're never in the frame like up back to back
against each other. Usually it's it's they're close, so they
can split that line and then put them together. But
they had scenes where they were like standing I don't

(16:27):
know if y'all can see, like they were standing like
this where it was like, you know, they were overlaughing
each other, and it seemed like, damn, it didn't seem
like they see y'all to face on a fake person
that looked had the same body. I don't know. They
might have might just put in that extra work, that
extra CGI, maybe a couple of scenes, but I don't know.
I don't I don't know. I would have to ask

(16:48):
Ryan Cooger. Let me get an interview.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
On the second watch, Like I noticed some some things
like I can I can tell Smoke just how he
talks and different, I can tell him different, you know,
who it is, depending on how they talk. I noticed
they behaved differently. Yeah, you know, they they just moved differently.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
They're different and that's established from the very beginning to me, and.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
I think it's also good as they're similar at the
same time.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah, yeah, because they're twins like they you know, they
grew grown up around each other their whole life and close,
so they're gonna have similarities. But I think that was great,
a great thing. And from the beginning they had that
where you could tell, like when they just showed who
they who was first smoke, They don't even know, but smoke.

(17:44):
One of it was smoke. Yeah, yeah, it was smoke
because his hand was jacked up. And I think that's
why they established Maybe that's why they established it. I
just started thinking about it. I was wondering why he
had to shaken, But maybe they did that to kind
of separate them because he was the one that did everything,
like he was the one. He was the older brother.

(18:05):
You know, I don't know how old, but I heard
often twins look at themselves like that. He gave me
out first two minutes or ten minutes, whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
He was considered his older brother.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
And I've seen twins say that, like I know twins,
and you know, I don't have personal experience because I'm
not the twins, but I've seen some twins say that,
like I'm older than him or he's older than me,
and they kind of want their own individuality. So they
used that, and Smoke seemed to be the one that
handled the business.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Like he killed his dad to protect his brother.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
He seems like he protected him his whole life because
he did feel like the big brother.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
So and maybe that's why. Maybe he just had more fight.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Maybe he had more fights, maybe had more action growing up,
and that's why his hands were shaken. But that established
in the beginning, like they're different. I guess what's the
word I'm looking for. They're different.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Mannerisms. I guess, yeah, yeah, mannerisms.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
You know what I just start of Because Ryan Cooler
said there will not be a sequel. Yeah, but I
would like, now we're talking about this, I would like
to see a prequel of how they actually.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
That would be dope. And maybe he's maybe he's thinking
about that, maybe because he said a sequel, like you know,
this ain't a sequel, it's a big prequel. That would
be dope. That would be dope.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Uh, to see how they came up, maybe how they went.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Through the war, because they went in the war and
then they were for our component in Chicago, Like that's
the story in itself, and maybe maybe he was like
it could be maybe he put that backstory into them
and maybe one day it will be.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Like even for me, like they loo the same. For
what made the dad beat on Stack more so than.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
And it could could be his personality is different. Yeah,
his personality might have been a little weaker, and he
knew that because they said his dad was evil, like
they used evil. You know, you can be a bad person,
you can be, but when somebody calls you evil, like
that's another level. You know, that's on some other ship.
Maybe his dad since that smoke might do something, you know,

(20:31):
he might he might be trouble if I start beating him.
So I'm gonna take it out on Stack. The smoke
still wasn't having it. So that would be a cool movie.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, I think that would be dope. That's that. I
didn't even think about that.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
And but there's enough there, There's more than enough there
to make a whole movie.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
And then like you ended with them coming back.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
To Yeah, yeah, like we're gonna we're gonna go to
We're going back home or something.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Yeah, you show him.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, maybe packing up like stealing the
liquor and all that and packing it up and getting
it getting it going. Yeah, that would be dope. That's
dope because I didn't even think about that. I was
just so bent on having another one. I'm like, I
wish there was a sequel. I mean, I don't know

(21:18):
what it would be. They could do a sequel where
they're coming after because they well, there gotta be more
vampires out there if they're but there's no vampires that know, they.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
Would kind of lose some things. If a sequel.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, if they made a sequel, I think it would
it wouldn't have the impact because of what it would be,
because I think it would have to go too far
out because everybody that knew them is dead. Like all
the vampires that know there what happened that night is dead,

(21:55):
So yeah, well not all of them. That could That
could be if they did a sequel like that where
they show they could even do a sequel showing Stack
and his girl what happened and from from there to
when they meet up with Sammy at the end.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
Yeah, but I think the original movie has so much
involved in it, like the music and everything, that probably
wouldn't translate to sequels.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, I think your idea would be the best, Like
I think I think that would be the best idea
because you can still have like great music from the
time periods that they go through, because I think that
was half the half the greatness. I love movies that
use music like that and it's not really a musical,

(22:49):
but they incorporate music heavy into the story. Like I
love when movies do that, and when it's good music,
when it's proper, when it fits. Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
That shit is dope. So yeah, yeah I did that.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
I want that now, Like I'm like, damn, I wish
I could he makes that ship or I hope he
makes that ship up to take Ryan.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
I wonder if you're the first person to think that.
Probably not, but.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Still and in that way you could you can still
show the like all of the characters, like except for
the vampire for Ramik, Yeah, you can show all of
the characters.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Actually so Ramic too, if you wanted to flash and
show maybe how he became because I believe he's old
like I believe he was an old vampire. He's been
around for a long time.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
And now I'm wondering, like because either you would show
shoot separate stories in one movie, or that could be
a whole different.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Could too, Yeah, that could be like the third one
or something. Who knows. It's a lot. It's a lot
there though, like it's a lot, a lot of meat.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Shoot. I would like to see because this ain't the
first day they was back, you know, I might like
to see a movie like what's going on? What they
were doing like when they got back?

Speaker 4 (24:18):
No, I think that that was the first they just got.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Okay, Okay, it's crazy that you know, all that happened
one day and dude was like that was the best
day of his life before best and worst day of
his life, which I'm sure there's a lot of.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
Like I caught more everybody, I caught more things on
the second watch, like him saying like at least once
a week he wake up paralyzed.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Think about that night.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Yeah, that's wild. You gotta have some trauma. You gotta
have some trauma. And he probably couldn't. I'm back. He
probably ain't go to therapy.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
For like a vampire, like like that scene at the end,
the vampire is right there about to kill you.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
And and like I said, he probably couldn't go therapy,
or he probably wouldn't want to because he wouldn't want
to say that because who's gonna believe him unless they
had you know, they unless they had experiences with it.
But who's gonna take that chance? And he might be like, oh, yeah,
we got to commit. We gotta get him committed, then

(25:22):
his career is over, like yeah, like who wants to
do that? Who wants to be the crazy person?

Speaker 4 (25:27):
Should have made a cool song.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
He might have. I don't know his old ghettalog. He
might have talked about it a few times. He did
the Blues too. Motherfuckers probably thought he was talking about
something else, just like the Blue Robin Clean song, Like
whoever wrote that probably talking about something totally different. But
when vampire is singing that ship like this is crazy,

(25:52):
this is crazy shit. I picked poor Robin Clean all
the way, like yo, yeah, that's dope. And uh, I
think everybody everybody in there did did they thing? Del Roy?
I don't think he gets enough flowers. I know people

(26:13):
give him his flowers though, but I don't think he
gets enough. He's been in a lot of great ship
and he's always good in it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
I think one of his standout rules to me was
in in Malcolm X. You know yeah yeah, when Red
first came I gotta, okay, yeah, I gotta. I'm trying
to remember. I mean, I remember him being in it.
But uh when when when Red he started? I guess

(26:42):
Red came to town. I guess that was that in New
York he came to so del Roylando's character was like
the man like running numbers and stuff. And then like
so I do remember then Red started working. But then
but then but Rolando's character kept telling him stop writing
stuff down.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Remember yeah, yeah, yeah, I do remember that. And so.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
What happened? I think.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
Red said he played a number, which I think he
was lying now that I think he was lying. He
said he played the number and he won. And Del
Rolnda's characters like, you know, I remember, I'm a double checker,
you better be right, like you know, because he gave
him the money because he accused him, or like he
accused him like you know, I guess not not not

(27:34):
you know, being not giving him his money or how
you say, uh uh maybe watching on the on the bed. Yeah, yeah,
so he gave him his money, but he was like,
you better be right. But yeah, he was lying, and uh,
I think he was either he was lying or he

(27:56):
had got it wrong somehow, but I think he was
lying because he knew he looked worried.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
Right after that.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Character, del Orlando came to kill kill Red, Red got
away and it didn't.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
Then years later, you remember that. Years later, I.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Think, man, I ain't seen that movie in so long.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
But years later, del Orlando's character was like he had
some health problems and uh, Malcolm X came to see
him and like it was like he was Malcolm XY
was a new person and it was like he was

(28:40):
and I think del Orlando, his character went to a
I don't know if he went to apologize or bring
up the past or something, but Malcolm X was just like,
I hadn't even thought about that in years. I don't
even like he didn't even remember what their beef was over.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, that's what happens too, That's real. You know some people.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
I mean, once you once you change, like you that ship,
you put that out of you, you know what I mean?
And he probably remembered I mean, he had good memory anyway,
but he probably remembered because he was still you know,
he still probably was in life trying to figure that
shit out.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
But I mean his condition at that point, he couldn't
do nothing about it. Like I think.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
I think even if he was in great health, I
think Malcolm X still would have to see him.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yeah, yeah, because he probably wasn't even thinking about it.
He wasn't even thinking he even was worried about it.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Yeah, but that was something to see him go from
working with Denzel to now still in this movie, and
he looked damn near the same look.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
The same Kate bisch Up, I keep calling her Kate Bisup. Uh,
I I don't think that's no, that's not if I
keep calling her Kate Business because he was Kate Business.
She's a new hall guy, like she's in Marvel. She's
going to be the new all guys. She's gonna be
in Young Avengers and uh with MS Marvel and well

(30:12):
they have a bunch of them now. But but yeah,
that's she did her thing. She's always been nice acting.
I was surprised when I first saw her a long
time ago. But everything she's in she does a great job.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Oh yeah, Miles can't. Man, he is a kid right there.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
I think he comes from a musical family, like I
think his family.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
I know, when I heard him start singing, I was like, oh,
he must sing for real, Like I didn't know. I
didn't know who he was he was. That was the
first time I ever seen him. Know, I've seen him.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
I think his family is known.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
And then we got Omar Benson Miller. This guy.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Oh yeah, my dude, my dude, that's dude, I said
in eight Mile. When I seen him in eight Mile,
I wasn't sure how his career was going to go,
even though I seen him. I think I seen him
in other stuff before eight Miles. Yeah, I think I've
seen him before, but that was like the one role
where I've seen him. Like, I seen a lot of him,

(31:20):
and for some reason, I don't know. I see people.
I judge people not by anything, any metrics or anything.
I just will see an actor and be like, I
don't know how, I don't know what they're doing, even
if they're great, like they you know some actors that
you see and you're like, oh, they're gone, they gone.
But it's just actors every you know, you see so

(31:40):
many actors. Sometimes I'm just like, I don't know if
i'll see him again or if he'll be a star.
But I've seen him in a lot of stuff after that,
and this movie did great, and he's always been good.
He's always been good and stuff. So I'm glad he's
getting some notoriety. You know, he may have got notoriety
before now, but I see people talking about him.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
Bers.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yeah, I didn't watch all of that. I watched some
of it.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Yeah, I ain't watched all of it, Like I watched
the first like three or four seasons.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
But damn, there's one in four seasons. That's probably why
I ain't watch it, Probably because I saw how many seasons.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
It was five seasons.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Okay. Sometimes I get overwhelmed if I see a show,
like I missed the show and it's like five six seasons,
I'm like, I ain't starting that.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Looks like he was in Get Richard Dad Trying Too. Yeah,
he was in Get rich of Dot Tran.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Yeah he did great in that too, he was he
was good in that. The other people I didn't really know,
like the Asian couple, they did a great job though.
I didn't know none of the other actors, like the
I guess kind of the extras they had rolls speaking
rolls or whatever, but I didn't really know them.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Shoot, speaking of you said you had that feeling when
you saw somebody, Not that I didn't, Not that I
thought he wasn't gonna be successful. But I remember seeing
Michael B. Jordan years ago in this one movie, and
I liked the movie. But it's like, like, I guess
I wasn't really familiar with him.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
I thought I had seen him before.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
But he looked like for real to me, Like in
this movie, I was like, who is this dude that
looked like for real?

Speaker 4 (33:21):
But it's called Chronicle.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Oh yeah, Grenco's dope. Like that's a that's a that's
like a cult classic now, Like, yeah, Chronicle was dope.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
That's one of my favorite two rare movies.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
But I didn't foresee him becoming a star to the
level that he's at now, you know.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
I did when I saw him in Fruitville Station.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Okay, Like when I saw him in Fruitville Station, I
was like, Yeah, this kid got it, And I mean
it was emotional story of true story. So that's just
and what he brought to it and the emotion he
brought to it, even know it was a sad ass movie.

(34:08):
Like that's one of the movies I don't never want
to watch again, Like you seen Frutville Station yea, yeah,
like that's that's one of the movies where I'm like,
one viewing is enough. I don't want to see that
ship again, especially because it was true. But but I
think he did a great job in that.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Yeah, I feel you.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
I mean I think I think me personally, I think
I will watch it again. That just watched everything that
led up to the end.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Maybe, and maybe I would watch it just because I've
seen it so long ago. That's the only reason, like
just to have new lenses because as you get older,
you look at it differently, look at different stuff. And
but I think it is crazy.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
It's crazy, like the situation, So how it was portrayed
in the movie is how it actually happened. Yeah, so
it looked like it just was an accident.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Kind of yeah, but you know there was no accountability
okay for that, And that's the thing, like you know,
all these are accidents, like they always say it's an accident.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
So the officer wasn't charged.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
I forget what exactly happened, but I know at the time,
I don't think.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
He was charged.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
He might have been put on administrative leave or whatever.
But yeah, like there's no accountability, like there's never is hardly.
So I think that's the thing, Like it don't matter.
I think the takeaway is it don't matter if it's
an accident or not. It don't matter if you meant to
do it. You're a officer of the law. You should
be held to way higher standards than anybody else. You know,

(35:55):
you shouldn't have accidents like that killing somebody, like when
they you know, when your life ain't really in danger.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
So and I think the heartbreaking part of that, I
was like, well, just the one that it really hits
you is when he like I got a daughter.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Yeah, yeah, like you got family.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
That's like like he realized. That's crazy, Like he realizing,
like he like what happened, Like he's you know, like
he's about to die, and like, yo, you just shot me.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
I got a daughter. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
We went on a tangent as we as we normally do.
You know, how it go. It's cool, that's why it's
called what we're thinking. Sometimes we be thinking a whole
bunch of shit. It's just come out our mouths. Oh,
that's that guy Williams. He looks different. So I know
what we saw Williams as soon as I seen him,

(36:52):
because I was like, saw Williams is in this because
he's he's like my favorite poet, like one of my
favorite poets ever. And oh he was like the first
person I seen do like like slam, like poetry slams
and like really passionate poetry where he on stage like

(37:15):
almost like it was rapping. He did rap for a
little while, like he had an album with some type
of rapping. It was kind of like poetry over music,
but you know it was it was almost like rapping
to me. I mean he has a few albums, but yeah,
it's all Williams. And when soon as I seen him,
I was like, I was like, oh, it's all differ
not well, I mean he's older, but he don't look

(37:38):
different than me.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
Wow. He really as soon as I.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Saw him, I thought so like I knew I saw Williams,
Like for the first time I saw the movie, I
was like, oh, that's all Williams. I didn't know he
was in here.

Speaker 4 (37:48):
I didn't know.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Yeah, I didn't recognize he played that part good.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
I yea seen him as boy's dad. I've seen as
soon as I seen the opening scene. When I first
watch that, I said that, I was like, oh, man,
I know he's on Death Poetry Jam a lot he
was on. I mean, he has his own show, he
has his own little thing. I got his albums. Like

(38:12):
I said, it was one of my favorite poets in
this age. Like just look just talking about the just
the direction and the way it was filmed. I know
you're not too into it, even though you look at
it and say, oh that's dope.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
You can recognize like what things.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
But I like, actually, I know on one of my watches,
I was just like looking at that shit. Like the
long shots, the long single shots. I don't know how
people don't understand how hard some of those shots are
to get and to do and to not fuck up

(38:57):
because it's one you know, for one is one long shot.
So how hard is how hard it is to do
this without fucking up? Because you funk up, you gotta
retake the whole fucking shot. That's why a lot of
people don't do it, because you know, you gotta but
that one shot where he leaves the where homegirl leaves
and goes over to get her mom and then just

(39:20):
like without a beat, her mom goes around and then
goes back over like that ship. That shit is so dope,
But it's just it's a lot of long shots in
this movie and no, you know, no cuts. That stuff
is that stuff is difficult to film. You gotta be
you gotta be a consumate, a consummate, consummate professional acting

(39:43):
directing like all that. It takes a lot to do
stuff like that because, like I said, you know a
lot of people, I'm sure acting it's kind of like
doing music.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
How who said it?

Speaker 4 (40:00):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Andre three thousand was talking about it where he was
like these kids these days, like they'll go on to booth,
they do three lines, like he was talking about it more.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Positively about it.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
He was like, they'll go in there, do three lines,
then come out and think about some more stuff going
there do three more lines.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
He's like, that's crazy to me, he said, it's dope.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
But we had to just go through the whole like
we did an old song, like I would do the
whole song that the hook, second verse, the hook, like
all the one take and that is hard to do.
That's why people don't do it a lot, because it's
hard to do, and it's similar in movies. It maybe,
and I mean it's two different genres, but you know,

(40:47):
you got a lot of moving parts in movies, so
it might be even harder to do long single shots
like that than to do a song in one take.

Speaker 3 (40:58):
Yeah that's I know, me, like me, I guess me,
and not so much into it. Unless I didn't hear
Speckley talk about that long shot, I don't know if
I would have noticed it.

Speaker 4 (41:10):
And the only my favorite.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
I got maybe two favorite shots in this movie that
I can think of, and they just stand out, and
I think my favorite is the one where the aspect
ratio changes. I think that's right before the vampire is
coming too the check. And then the other one is
when we first see the Ramick when he like he

(41:35):
like it looks like he jumps off of something onto
the ground.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
Yeah, Yeah, that's a dope shot. Yeah, that's a dope shot.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
And that's a testament to how dope it is because
you don't really notice it like that, and you noticed it.
But I think one of my favorite shots. I love
that shot. It's just so many in there, But I
think one of my favorite shots is when smoking and
Sammy at the end after they killed and the sun's
coming up like that shit is just like immaculate, just

(42:07):
the way it looks like the sun coming up and
all the vampires on fire and then in the water
like and the sun coming all the way up and
then the scene is like bright as hell, Like that
had to be hell to shoot. For one, I'm assuming
they shot a real sunrise and that right there for
a camera guy, Like, it's not just the direction, it's

(42:30):
not just Ryan's whoever was on the camera, whoever was
doing all of that stuff, Like he had to have
a fucking crazy team. He had had the Chicago Bulls
of teams to film this movie and just crazy crazy.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
I think he works with some of the people that
he worked with in the past, you know that great
stuff in the past.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
Yeah, you can see some of these shots.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
Some of the same shots are in Black Panther two,
like not the same, but they're kind of God, they
kind of get them the same way, and you can
trying to tell, you can tell, I mean both those
all all his movies are beautiful. I just think he
loves that ship like he he's a I think anybody

(43:20):
that does that has to love it. For one, like
most directors have to love it because it's not an
easy thing to do. People people think it is, but
it's not an easy thing to do. But I think
as an artist, like that's that's art. People. I think
people think it's just telling people what to do, But
that's art.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
It would be so cool to me.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
Like I've seen some pictures of him or a video
him behind the scenes, just like looking like it's just.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
Like and like his hip hop gear.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Like just like you want to track, dude, like whatever,
and this is what I do and I do it, well, yeah,
this is what it is.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
And he's like I saw this one video and he's
got his like gear on and it's just canceled. But
he's directing the scene where they're dressed like you know
for the scene or they might be in the in
the period piece, and you know, just seeing him directing,
you know, being in charge, like I like that.

Speaker 4 (44:26):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (44:26):
I like that when you see him and the way
he talks, and he's just authentic and he.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
From Oakland, like he from the hood, you know, and
I don't think he changes itself for anything. He don't
have to, like he and he should have. Shouldn't nobody
have to. But I know what you mean, like you
see kind of see yourself in him. I do anyway,
Like when I see him, I see myself in him

(44:54):
and just to see the accomplishments that he does. And
it's dope. It's dope, just like.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
That whenever I see it, like when I see somebody
just they're just genuine and and and I've seen him
in different interviews and there's some interviews where he looks
more comfortable and other interviews like not that he's uncomfortable,
but he's more.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
You don't like that shit, Like I don't think he
likes interviews and stuff like that now, I don't think.
And that's that's why I mean, just like you said,
like like sometimes he may feel uncomfortable and it may
come across, but he's comfortable behind the camera, like he's
comfortable doing that ship doing doing what he do.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
I mean, I think, like I've seen him in different
interviews with like different people, and I've seen him like
right way comfortable, like when he was interview you and
Michael B.

Speaker 4 (45:46):
Jordan. Michael B.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
Jordan was interviewing him, and then I've seen him in
like in another interview where he's just he's he's very professional. Yeah,
he's the same, but he's very professional. And you know
he had himself very well, you know.

Speaker 4 (46:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
Yeah, And that's not to say, you know, saying he's
not comfortable, don't mean he's not confident. He just don't
like some of that aspect of it. I don't think
I think he said that, like he's not like that's
not his thing, like being in front of the camera,
like that's not his thing. I think it might be Jeorgan,

(46:25):
like that's his boy, that's been his boy.

Speaker 3 (46:28):
So yeah, he's uh ran Coopler. He's interesting, like he
used to be a football player. And I don't know.

Speaker 4 (46:37):
I think when I see him, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
I have to look it up, but he may not
be that short. Like to me when I see him,
I think he's sure, but he actually may not be that.

Speaker 4 (46:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
I don't I can never judge anybody when I seen
him now, but.

Speaker 4 (46:55):
He used to look different.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
He had braise, Yeah, he don't have braids.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
Oh, I ain't know that. I ain't know he cut
his braids. Damn when is the last time. I probably
ain't seen him. I've seen him in that documentary.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
Oh wait, no, no, no, I'm tripping. I think he has
braids now. Well, when he was younger, I think his
hair was longer. If I'm not mistaken, Am I mistaken?

Speaker 1 (47:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
He always had braids, well, not always.

Speaker 4 (47:27):
I know, you know what I'm thinking of. He used
to not have braids.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Okay, okay, yeah, I always seen him with braids, so
I didn't never see him back in the you know before.
I don't think I've seen him a lot when he
didn't have braids. I think I'm seeing him more in
front of the camera now, so maybe that's why.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
He was like every he was doing so much. Yeah,
I don't know if I've seen a director like do
that much press.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
I didn't. I didn't look at anything because I didn't
want anything spoiled. But I did look at some of
that documentary behind the scenes, like how it's filmed, because
they they had said in the beginning that they weren't
going to spoil anything, so it was just gonna be
talking about the process. So I did watch that, but
I'm gonna go back and watch some of the other
stuff because I like and I'm hoping he did more

(48:16):
stuff now. I'm hoping he's letting like some of the stuff.
I guess some of the secrets. Secrets I guess, like
how he filmed certain stuff because I'm interested in that,
Like I'm interested in his mind of like why he
shot certain stuff certain ways and things like that. I'm
hoping to see some more interviews.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
I was watching something where he was describing how he
came up and like it was, it was interesting, it
was it was a cool story, like he was playing
football but he got hurt. Yeah, and then then he
had another interest in filmmaking, and he just he just
went for it.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
He went to filmmaking school.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
I think somebody saw a film that he actually did
in school, and I think that led to him, like
maybe you know, led to some of his success and
some of you know, some of his earlier stuff or

(49:18):
maybe his first movie first that we know of, because
he was like, yeah, he was like the stuff he
did in school, like yeah, y'all never see that, but.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
He probably like this is trash, thinking it's probably good though,
like you know, you're your own words critic. So it's
funny because I always like people like that. It just
goes to show like you can do whatever, you know,
if you really want to, you really want to put
that time and effort in. It reminds me of Ken Jones,

(49:52):
you know, Asian guy, like he was a doctor and
he just came home one day and talked those wife
and was like, I want to be an actor. And
his wife he was supportive and was like be acted.
Then like whatever, and he quit his job, Like he
quit his job and just when to get acting classes,
I guess, and try to start auditioning for ship. And

(50:13):
now I'll be seeing him courtside at the basketball games,
like and everybody knows him, you know, and he's funny
as hell. But and he was older. I mean, look
at Morgan Freeman, Like Morgan Freeman was older when he
got like some of his I mean, he was in
stuff when he was a little younger, but when he
started blowing up, he was older. That's why everybody makes

(50:35):
the joke like he been old forever, Like no, you
just started seeing him when he was older, like he
was putting in that work.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
But man, like age time.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
Did he really slept that lady in that clip from
that older movie where uh, Krystopher Reeves was standing right.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
There and he's a bit. I don't know really that
they just made it look that's hilarious because I remember
that ship.

Speaker 4 (51:09):
Yo.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
I don't know he was a pimper something.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
That's wild. Yeah, I don't even know. I hope they
just made it look real good. They might have, but
do you see a dude? They said, Look, we're getting
on tan this, but it's cool. That's what we do.
Oh damn. Seth Rogan was saying, in that one movie
where dude touched Rihanna asked, and Rihanna slapped the ship

(51:36):
out of him. I forget that dude's name. He's in
all them type of He said that that was real.
He was like, because he asked Rihanna, He was like,
can I touch your ass for real?

Speaker 2 (51:46):
And she said if I could slap you for real?
He was like, all right, fuck it.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Like she turned around. He said, she slapped the ship
out of him, and we kept it like we kept
that take.

Speaker 4 (51:57):
That he was willing to make that ship.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
He was like, I'm cool with that. Oh that's funny,
wild because that's ship.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
You can tell that shit is real when you watch
that movie.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
I enjoyed both things.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
Listen, he might have been like, you know, I feel like.

Speaker 3 (52:18):
He would have a career after that, or he would
be this like big star because he just looked like.

Speaker 4 (52:24):
A regular dude.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
He looked like he just whatever.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
But there's something about that because even though he looked
like that, I liked that there.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
Was something comfortable. It was appeal of it.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Yeah, most of his movies he seems like he plays
himself like like when you see in the interviews, he
seems like the same person that he plays in the movies.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
So yeah, that's man, that's wild that stuff happens like that.

Speaker 3 (52:53):
But but Ryan cooler, Like I think he was saying,
like how he was his competitiveness and work ethic and
it's sports.

Speaker 4 (53:02):
He just puts the help filmmaking true, true.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
And like he looks at like, if I'm correct, he
looks at like everybody as a team that he's working with,
you know.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
And I can see that, and I've heard people that
worked with him say that, like like everybody always has great,
everything great to say about him. You know, I'm not
saying people got they they qualities or they bad days.
Everybody does. But he seems like to be all around
and from what everybody says that works with him. He's
that person that you see, you know, so that's dope

(53:37):
shit because those people need. Those type of people ain't
always rewarded. Just because you're you're like that, you're not
always you know, it doesn't mean you're gonna always have
shit come out in your favor. But it's cool when
you see people like that and they they winning, they
getting getting their flowers while they can still smell them.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
You look at these movies Fruit Veale, Station Creed, all
the Creed movies, the Black Panther movies, now Centers, and
like he's behind it all.

Speaker 4 (54:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Yeah, and the fact that in these movies because Centers.
The thing that people don't realize, for one is the
I think one of the highest gross in movies ever
original movies, and the fact that it is an original movie,
like it's in the original script. Like people are always

(54:30):
complaining it's too many superheroes, Oh, there's too many of this,
it's too many remakes. He he had one hundred percent
original movie. Yeah, he took you know, he took inspiration
from some other stuff, and he said that like he
everybody takes inform I can't say my name. Influence. Yeah,

(54:52):
everybody takes influences from different things in their life that
they like, so that's no different than anybody. But this
is like original movie and I've I just think I
think that's one of the reasons why it got so
much fanfare too, because people were people are kind of

(55:13):
like superhero fatigued. That's that's the number one genre action fatigue.
Like even though this had action in it, it just
had a lot of other layers. You had a lot
of other things going on. And what's funny is I'm
always like, I don't want to see no movie set
in this time here. I don't want to see no

(55:34):
And I was great with this movie and I'll watch
it again, like I'll watch it over like it just
even though I had some aspects of that time pero,
some racism stuff, some some some of that ship that
I don't really want to see, but the way they
did it, like the way they showed black people, for one,
the strength they showed in black people. Uh, the positive

(56:00):
of I guess that time when everybody had to almost
be separated, so they kind of banded together. H I
don't know, it's just this is a great movie. Great movie.
Go see it. If you haven't seen, go see it again.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
I know I was before I was saying, I'm not
so much in the horror movie. So I was thinking
before maybe that's why I didn't. I wasn't into it
as much as it seemed like everybody else was. But
this time I didn't mind the horror element so much.
When I watched it again, Shoot, this is this is
this is different compared to uh, because I went and

(56:39):
seen the Final Destination bloodlines. You know, it's funny. Though
it was it was, it wasn't a bad experience. It
was like a popcorn movie, like, yeah, that's what that's
what they all. I don't know if they changed the way.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
I don't watch the other ones.

Speaker 3 (56:57):
I think I've seen some of them, but but I
don't know if I don't know if it's me or
if they've changed the way the CGI or whatever effects
they use. But like the killings weren't weren't that much
to me, Like, yeah, I jumped, I did. I jumped
a lot in the movie. And but what what I

(57:18):
like this At the beginning of the movie, when people
started doing and stuff, I started laughing. It was funny.

Speaker 1 (57:26):
That's what that's That's kind of what it's always been.
I mean the first one was like more serious, but
then the stuff that was happening, you know, it's serious
and it's scary, but at the same time, it has
an element it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
Have an element of comedy a little bit.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
And I think that's why the screen movies were made,
because they were parodies of those type of movies. But
those type of movies always had elements of comedy in it,
even though it was hard movies. Like except like the
first the number ones of most of the hard movies
were like serious, but I think they just started changing,

(58:05):
Like Night Mary elm Street the first one, like that
shit scared the ship out of me. But then it
just started like Freddy's like I'm here, like you know,
like shit is just funny, and even stuff that wasn't
supposed to be funny, even at the end of the
first one, when when the funniest shit in the world
ever when when uh you see that man el right, yeah,

(58:27):
when he statched Homegirl through the window, but it was
like a stiff manniquin and it was like it looked
like a stiff mannequin where she just was like just
got pushed it. Yo.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
That shit was so fucking funny. It was scary, but
it was so funny.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
And at the same time, they could have they could
have had a more flimsy, plantic mannequin. They could have
made it look.

Speaker 4 (58:48):
But when you first met did you get that or
was it after years?

Speaker 1 (58:53):
No? I got it when I first saw it. When
I first saw it because and I think, yeah, and
I think it's supposed to be that way, because it's
a dream, you know how your dreams are weird, like,
you know, so he's like in the dream world kinda
and even though it's supposed to be in the real world,
he's in real world kind of. But you never know.
You never know if you're dreaming or you're awake. So

(59:15):
that's kind of how the movie is. So I think
they put stuff like that on purpose because they could
have used a better mannequin. It could have looked better
than what it looked like.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
Yeah, that that find a Destination Bloodlunes. It wasn't bad
like I think I think if I was, I'm not
I'm not gonna be into a more serious like blood
gusts and gore scary horror like.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
Yeah, I don't like slasher movies that much. Like I
try to watch Terrify and I turn that shit off
like ten minutes because it was just it's like violence porn, like.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
That's what it is, like, like it's just and people.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
Some people like that, and you know that's your preference,
as your preference, but I just don't want. I don't know,
i'd be feeling weird like that shit be I'd be like, oh, well,
this is my spirit. Yeah, I'll be feeling.

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
At least like Final Destination Bloodlines. There was a story
to it. It made me think somewhat yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm cool with that entertaining.

Speaker 4 (01:00:14):
It was a thriller.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
Yeah, I'm cool with hard movies like that, even this,
Like I'm not I'm not the biggest hard movie fan either,
but I will watch them. But it just can't be
just bloody and wild for the sake of being bloody.

Speaker 4 (01:00:29):
And the story to.

Speaker 3 (01:00:30):
It, like the rammiic he was like like his pitch
was kind of interesting to me, but you could tell
there was some evil to it as well, you know,
so it wasn't just killing.

Speaker 4 (01:00:45):
It was like.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
He he kind of had like a purpose or or
or something he was trying to do.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
And actually, like you said, while he was watching a movie,
he was kind of right, you know what I mean,
Like he was kind of right when he was saying,
you know the time we living in now, Like they're
not letting you have your own shit, they're not letting
you build your own community. Like these motherfuckers they want

(01:01:14):
to come tear it down, they want to come burn it,
they want to come kill you. But if you let
me turn you into a vampire, you'll live forever and
we can all fellowship and we can protect you know,
we're not dying, We're never die, so we can all
have a community and fellowship together and protect each other.
Like that's and he was kind of right, now you

(01:01:35):
want to lose your soul and be evil because it
is evil, like you are evil. You got to kill
people or kill him to transition to being a vampire.
But yeah, like like he had a purpose.

Speaker 4 (01:01:49):
Yeah, I think was interesting and tempting.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
But if I trusted him, definitely, because when he threatened
to go pay the the couple's daughter a visit, or
when he started talking sexual to the wife.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Because he's evil, like in the end, he's still evil.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
Yeah, I think it's more like the pitch.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
Although it may be true that he's given is that
he's given it because it's righteous and he wants better
for the people or all their selfish reasons.

Speaker 4 (01:02:21):
He's saying that, Yeah true.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
Yeah, you know, I think it's the latter.

Speaker 4 (01:02:28):
Yeah. Good, good movie.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
Yeah, great, great movie.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
I'm gonna watch it again. I want to watch it
with my mom because I don't think she's seen it yet.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
Okay, is she alright with the hard movie stuff?

Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
Oh yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
And does she know about it? Does she know about it?
Like that you know what it is. I wouldn't tell her, like,
I mean, she might enjoy it more.

Speaker 4 (01:02:54):
And in the horror movie, it's not that crazy in
this movie.

Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
And it's not.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
It's not it's it's not even technically that super bloody.
There there's you know, it's parts like their faces if
any shoot, dude, is face look fucked up and you
know they're biting people.

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
But it's not like crazy crazy to me.

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
Final Destination Bloodlines tell you because I'm gonna watch it.
I've watched all the Final Destinations.

Speaker 4 (01:03:21):
But it made me, you know, because I try to
stay away from the movies.

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
That's the only thing, Like I don't know, like I
started watching the I was gonna watch them all and
then watch that one. But as soon as I put
on the first one and I remember it's the plane,
and I'm like, oh shit, I'm taking a plane in
a few months, I'm like, I turn that shit off.
I only want to see it. They I don't want
to see it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
But I'm cool with the truck like even, I mean,
I move.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
If there's a fucking truck in front of me, like
a log truck result in front of me, I'm moving
or a truck carrying something. I'm always moving just because
of that movie. But it doesn't bother me to watch it.
But the plane shit bothers me. So I don't know
if there's anything like that in there. Is there anything
with planes? And me put it that way because I
know they throw back. No, I'm good then, because I

(01:04:10):
just I just can't. I'm not good with flying anyway.
I hate flying and I will though, and I do.
I do fly, not a ton, but I fly a lot.
So I can't be watching shit like that, like since
I can't watch it like that because then I get
on the plane and I think about it. As soon
as I get on the plane, I think about this shit,
so it just comes to my brain. But uh, yeah,

(01:04:34):
I'm gonna watch that though, I'm gonna see what it is.
I think there's so many movies. We only got one Imax,
so there's so many movies coming out in the summer.

Speaker 4 (01:04:43):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
Every week it's a new like big blockbuster coming out,
and it's mad movies. I want to see, but I don't.
I can't even get to the movies no more like that.
I don't know. I think it's missing. Impossible came out
and I was like, I want to see that.

Speaker 3 (01:04:58):
I think it's a little dry. The rest this month.
The Superman come out next month.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
Yeah, I try to get I was gonna tell you
because Prime has the pre the pre opening there, it's
like two weeks before it comes out. You can go
see it at seven o'clock. Man, today they put them
tickets up. I went on Prime. It was like four
seats left all the way at the front. I was
so pissed. I said, I ain't sitting up there. So

(01:05:24):
I'm like, I'm just have to wait. The whole theater
sold out because there's only one showing at seven pm,
like two weeks before the normal showing comes out. Prime
does that every now and there, and there's a discount
on the tickets. So but yeah, I couldn't get them
that day. I should have.

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
I should have. I think they put it up at
like ten o'clock and I.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
Went on there at like twelve and it was four
seats in the front and they probably the only reason
they were there because they was in the front. So
ain't nobody buying them shits? But it was seats in
the front, but they were, they were taking two I
guess them. People ain't care. So the Switch gears a
little bit and talk about the reception of the Lil
Wayne Carter six album.

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
What have you heard about the album?

Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
I know you haven't heard everything on the album, just
like me, I haven't heard everything on the album. What's
your what's your take on some of the people's responses.

Speaker 4 (01:06:19):
Most mostly I've heard. I've mostly heard that it's not good.

Speaker 3 (01:06:23):
I've heard people say he's rapping like it's the rapping
is good. But I've heard the beat selection, the songs
aren't good, the song structures, you know, the hooks aren't good.

Speaker 4 (01:06:34):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
I've heard that he's some people think he's like trying
to I guess style back to like his music, Like
some of the songs sound like they were left over
from projects of the past that he's done.

Speaker 4 (01:06:48):
Yeah, you know, yeah, I haven't listened to it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:52):
I haven't listened to it, Like you know, I've heard
clips here and there of certain things I've actually put on.
I've actually I think I tried to listen to maybe
a couple of songs, but I just didn't have the interest.

Speaker 4 (01:07:09):
I just didn't want to.

Speaker 2 (01:07:10):
Listen to the same same man, I love that Peanuts
the Elephant.

Speaker 1 (01:07:14):
It's like, I'm just I watched reactions.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Yeah, I watched some reactions.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
That's the only reason I heard that song.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
And what's sad to me is.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
It's overwhelming, like like I can't remember an album.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
Being this old.

Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
This received so overwhelmingly bad, like I can't remember, and
for artists that I considered to be one of hip
hop's top artists, Like it's sad to me that he
would put out an album like this, Like I'm I
don't know, you know, my memory ain't the greatest, So
maybe there is another album that was received like this.

(01:07:58):
But I mean, I've seen die hard little Wayne fans people,
you know that that Breathe Shit Eat Little Wayne that
are like, this is trash. I've seen you know, stars,
this is trash. Like I've seen people I don't know
on the internet. This is draft like I've I've yet

(01:08:19):
to see somebody say it's a good album.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
I did hear somebody point out an interesting uh make
an interesting point.

Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
There was like.

Speaker 3 (01:08:30):
We we kind of like succumb to hot mind sometimes,
so if so many people are saying it's bad, then
you might not listen to it instead of if you
listen to it, you might enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:43):
In this case, I don't know if.

Speaker 2 (01:08:46):
That I don't know I agree with that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
I can't agree with that that sometimes and there are
people and I'm sure there's people with this album even
it might be true, but I'm sure there's people with
this album that maybe never listen to it's like it's trash.
You know. I'm not saying it's trash because I haven't
listened to but three four songs off of it, so
I can't say it's trash. I'm just really giving the

(01:09:12):
reception what I see the reception as and the people
that supposedly listen to it is.

Speaker 3 (01:09:20):
And what overwhelmed and what i've heard the press I've
had heard like it's kind of like it didn't make
me want to hear me.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
Yeah, that's the thing with me, Like I've heard it
was trash. I give I know me, I give stuff
the benefit of doubt for one, and I give them
an objective listen as objective as I can, because I
know everybody's susceptible to like influence. I guess of other

(01:09:50):
people like once you hear a lot of stuff. It's
same reason when I do reviews, I don't look at
nobody's video before I do it. Whatever the product or
whatever transform whatever it is i'm doing a review on,
I never look it up to see other people's take
because I don't want it to influence me even a
little bit. I wanted to be straight from my mind,

(01:10:10):
so I understand that being a thing, but for it
to be this much of a thing, I don't think
like and hearing the three songs makes me not want
to go on or three or four. Well, the fourth
song I consider is a penis the Elephants. Because I
was listening to the reactions.

Speaker 3 (01:10:31):
But I think like I have been in the instance
or the case where I have been in a situation
where a lot of people think an album is trash
and I don't think that, and I just disagree, you know,
And I didn't necessarily I didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:10:49):
I didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
Uh, I wasn't paying so much attention to all of
what they were saying I wanted to hear.

Speaker 4 (01:10:53):
And maybe that's part of it too. I'm not. I
can't say I'm a diehard little Way fan.

Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
Yeah me so.

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
But when he was doing this thing with the Carter
three and stuff, I was paying attention. He's so good
that you couldn't help but paying attention and listen to
the good stuff he was putting out.

Speaker 1 (01:11:10):
You know, say I was diehard lew Wayne fan when
he was with the Hot Boys, Like when he first
came out with them, I always said, I always pride myself.
I mean I think I have a pretty good ear
and I always pride myself that from the first song
I heard with all of them, I was like, he's
the one.

Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
I always said that. I always said he's the one.

Speaker 1 (01:11:31):
And when he turned out to be the one, I
mean juvenile, juveneiles, juvenile, but he is undereniable that out
of that group, he's the one. And when he turned
out to be the one. I was like, I told you,
I told y'all, you know. But so in that respect,
I'm a fan, but I can't say I'm a diehard
fan of his newer stuff, like some of the newers,

(01:11:53):
like maybe the Carter three on. But I did listen
to that, and I listened to stuff before that, and
I you know, it's it's undeniable skill. So and but
this this ain't it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:07):
But I'm saying that, and it's so it's really viral
for being bad. Let me see what bad. But well,
I think it would be cool if he if he
like leans into it, like he kind of leans into it,
like what you told me. Yeah, like making like make
a video like for the Peanuts the Elephants, so making

(01:12:30):
like a like a funny video to it or something.

Speaker 4 (01:12:33):
I was thinking, if he could, that's.

Speaker 1 (01:12:34):
All you can do right now, I think recently I've.

Speaker 3 (01:12:38):
Just seen, uh he has Nicki Minas on the on
the remix of something one of the songs.

Speaker 1 (01:12:44):
Oh yeah, he could do that. Or he could uh.
I saw somebody said who said, I don't know who
it was. It was a die hard. It was the
dude white dude that I watched that talks about different stuff.
He be in front of white boards sometimes and he talking.

Speaker 2 (01:13:04):
About like racist stuff and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
But he's like he's always said since I've been following him,
Lil Wayne is one of his favorite artists, and he's
always said that even before now he said he felt
like this was trash. But he was also like I
don't want to say that, you know, because he felt
bad because he's like, that's one of my favorite artists.
But he was saying, he was like, you need to

(01:13:26):
do Wayne Wednesdays and just take all the shit you
got on your hard drive, all the old all the
stuff that was never released, and just release stuff every Wednesday.
He's like, I'll be fine with that. He just release
a new song every Wednesday for a whole year or something,
because he's like, I know, you have to have a
bunch of shit, and you know, a bunch of well

(01:13:48):
produced stuff too that he just didn't make whatever album.
I was like, Yeah, that's a good idea. That's a
good idea. That might be it might take some of
the heat off.

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
What I will say about the reaction to this album
is like, do you have some people that say it's over.
It's like he can't make it. Yeah, he can't make
a good album. I disagree with that. I think he
can still make a He could still make quite a
good album. I think he still can.

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
I disagree with that too, Like I don't think no
artist is ever over a less a less.

Speaker 1 (01:14:31):
I think in a beef and you get buried, buried,
and you're not a top artist, you might be over.

Speaker 2 (01:14:38):
But other than that, I.

Speaker 1 (01:14:41):
Don't think a bad album or make an artist a
good artist be over.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
Like he could just go get with some top producers.

Speaker 1 (01:14:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like he needs And if this don't
prove that, he probably needs a producer like he needs
he needs a Quincy Jones. Not that not saying Michael
Jackson needed Quincy Jones, but just that type of team,
Like he needs a good tight knit team with a

(01:15:13):
producer that is just like fire. Because I heard even
man he Fresh has like one song on there. I
didn't hear the song. I don't think I heard it.
I don't know. And and I could see that like
man Fresh is a good producer Z and he knows him,
so he probably could tell or something to him. That's
what he needs. And I know you brought up a

(01:15:34):
good point. You was like, where's Drake at, Like Drake
could have helped with some stuff or whatever. It is
not you, you didn't say that, but the new I
think he was alluding to that. I wasn't sure if
he was alluding to that, but yeah, together, yeah, yeah,
that's what. That's how I took it when you said that, Like,
you know, he has good people. Supposedly he knows he's

(01:15:58):
around good people. I don't know, you know, their relationship.
I don't think they're that close, to tell you the truth,
I think it's a fan fair. Like you know, you
say he has his picture on as his profile or something.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:16:14):
It's a picture of Lil Wayne and his daughter but
on Instagram.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
Yeah, I mean, I can't say either way though, I'm
not going to make that. I kind of take that
back because it's just my perception. But again, it could
be could be like the M and M situations where
M just he don't fuck with nobody really, like he
stays home like so people lot of people think the

(01:16:40):
people that he fucks with he don't fuck with. You know,
it could be that. So I'm not I'm not gonna
make that judgment, but I agree he needs he needs
something obviously, you know, if this ain't as this is obvious,
like he needs something else, He needs somebody else, and
I think everybody does, Like I don't think you can
make great music in a vacuum.

Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
Like That's interesting because I've heard Lil Wayne say on
several occasions that he don't listen to nobody else. He
only listens to him.

Speaker 1 (01:17:11):
And I wonder if that if that problem real and
that is and this is a result result. Maybe yeah,
I mean he said it straight from his mouth, so
maybe it's true because.

Speaker 3 (01:17:22):
I wonder, I wonder I wander through his perspective, is
this is this is fire like? But he sees it
that way because you know, like he said, he only
listens to him.

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
And that's what I know. Some of the reactions that
I was watching, like dude, dude, cut it off and
he's like, come on, man, he said he could have
been sitting in the studio and been like, yes, this
is the.

Speaker 3 (01:17:45):
One when I listened to this is whatever I've heard.
When I listened to whatever I've heard from the album.
When I listened to it, he's engaged, like like you're like,
this is like he's into it.

Speaker 4 (01:17:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:17:56):
Yeah. He sounds like he's rapping, and he sounded like
he was in the studio like, oh, this is the
ship right here. You know, I'm gonna put it on.
And it's like, nah, bro, that ain't it that? That
ain't the one? So I might, I might. I might
try to. I might try to listen to it. I
might too. I might too, depends on what's going on.

(01:18:18):
I might at work, depends on what's going on there.

Speaker 4 (01:18:20):
I try.

Speaker 3 (01:18:20):
I take it the song at the time, see, yeah,
she was happening either. I don't know if I can
give it a fool listen at once, but.

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
I might, yeah, because I don't. You know, my time
has spreadin these days. If I feel like you're wasting
my time, I want to listen to you feel like
I'm wasting my time.

Speaker 4 (01:18:39):
It's not good. I'd be like you come on like
d next.

Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
And I don't want it to be a case.

Speaker 3 (01:18:46):
But I think he's kind of he's an artist that
maybe I don't know. It's funny. It's funny. It's because
all of this hoop lie around. It kind of makes
me want to listen to it, you.

Speaker 4 (01:18:56):
Know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:18:57):
Oh, it made me.

Speaker 2 (01:18:58):
I wasn't even checking for it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:59):
I ain't even know it came out until like a
couple of days and people were like, it's trash. And
then I was like, oh, lol, Wayne came out. I
think I told you. I think I was like, ain't know,
Lil Wayne came out. But it did make me because
I wasn't checking. I wasn't looking for a little Wayne album.
And it's funny.

Speaker 3 (01:19:18):
It's it's funny that the en viral so much as
talked about so much as giving it a novelty or
some somewhat of a value kind.

Speaker 1 (01:19:28):
Of yeah, yeah, a value, even if it's a bad value,
Like it's still a value because it's still making people
listen or making people pay attention to it. And and
that's I mean, it's the age old good you know,
good good press, bad press, any preass is good press.

Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
So because I couldn't tell you what was on the
carter for or this point, do I remember the carter for?

Speaker 1 (01:19:58):
I don't tell you the truth. I couldn't tell you
was on none of the carters. But I listened to one, two,
and three.

Speaker 3 (01:20:04):
And I can tell you someone I know, I'm not
a diehard little Wayne fan but I know, go DJ's
off of Carter two.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, go DJ. But I didn't know where
that was until he just is.

Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
Yeah because people, because people, I think diehard little Wayne
fans would say Carter two is actually the one.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
Yeah before I like Carter two.

Speaker 1 (01:20:28):
What I remember of it, I remember, like looking back
in my slow memory banks, hit my low memory banks,
I can remember liking the quarter two, Like I can't
remember what was on there though, but I can remember
liking the quarter two a lot. So I'm thinking, yeah,
like that must have been on one. I kind of
want to go back and.

Speaker 4 (01:20:48):
Listen the quarter three is what I was paying?

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
Quarter three? Yeah, quarter three too, lollipop, missus officer, like all.

Speaker 1 (01:20:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that stuff I was bomping in the car,
Like I was bumping that stuff in the car.

Speaker 4 (01:21:03):
I was.

Speaker 1 (01:21:03):
I was listening, actively listening to it, even though I'm
not like a die hard like die hard dire or
little Wing fan.

Speaker 4 (01:21:09):
But that's probably his peak far as like start them
like Card of three.

Speaker 3 (01:21:18):
He was hot, he was number one, he was the
number one rapper at that like that time, and then
like I remember that run like he couldn't he couldn't
the features was crazy. All every every feature was good.
He did so many features. I don't know if I
heard he did a hundred features in the year or
something like that. That's crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:21:36):
Wait, it's the first week ever. When did it come.

Speaker 1 (01:21:38):
Out last Friday? Right?

Speaker 4 (01:21:42):
It just came out.

Speaker 1 (01:21:43):
Yeah, first week is over.

Speaker 4 (01:21:46):
So what the first week numbers being? You're gonna pull
it up?

Speaker 1 (01:21:50):
Yeah, ten thousand. That ain't bad. No, that's not bad.

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
He got thirty five thousand of actual sales.

Speaker 4 (01:22:02):
Is that the number one album? I wonder number two?
What's number one?

Speaker 1 (01:22:10):
Morgan Wildin Country Country Star? Okay, Morgan Wildin holding on
to the top spot.

Speaker 2 (01:22:18):
That's interesting. That is interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:22:20):
But I think that's because I think everybody copped it
before they listen to it, you know what I mean,
Like everybody started listening to it. Yeah, Lil Wayne, I'm
getting it, or Lil Wayne, I'm listening to it right now,
and then after that, it's like that's when everybody started
making reactions and saying what it is. I think that's

(01:22:42):
what it. That's why to me, I think what you
should look at how album's doing. I think it's the
in between, like the drop off, Like how big the
drop off is from the first week the second week.
I think that's the true right there, because I'll be

(01:23:04):
I'll be curious to see what his drop off is,
like people stop listening to it and stop streaming, stop whatever, whatever,
it stopped. It's crazy though, because that's how they do
it now. It's an equivalency. So I wonder how many
streams that is because it's equivalent to one hundred and
ten copies. So that's a lot of streams. Like, that's

(01:23:27):
a lot of streams.

Speaker 3 (01:23:31):
I want to I wanted to be getting a lot
of streams on Peanuts to Elephants just because just.

Speaker 1 (01:23:36):
Because of all the reactions to people saying it about it,
that shit is just wild to me, Like I've never
heard a beat and it's not even I mean, the
elephant part is crazy to me, stupid to me, tell
you the truth. But it's not even just that. Like
that whole beat sounds untried, Like that whole beat, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
Yeah, do that from Hamilton? That rode Hamilton.

Speaker 1 (01:24:04):
Yeah he's a And I know somebody said they know
it was a producer, but I knew because I had
the soundtrack of Hamilton and I actually liked that soundtrack.

Speaker 2 (01:24:13):
But his beats are weird.

Speaker 1 (01:24:15):
He does have a lot of weird beat Like on
that soundtrack he produced a song with Black Thought, and
who else was on that song? I think he's on it.
He's on it in Black Thought, he's rapping on it.
He can rap too, but you know his beats are
not normal. Yeah, I mean, i'd say normal, not orthodox.

(01:24:37):
I guess yeah, yeah, But I just.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
Can't see you going in there.

Speaker 1 (01:24:43):
I'm doing a hip hop record and I'm gonna put
this elephant on there, and you listening to it and
being like, Yo, this is the ship right here, like
I'm about to kill it. I'm about to murder this
shit like I murdered his elephant beat and that that
shit would drive me crazy too. I only listen, you know,
I only listen to like the first five five seconds

(01:25:04):
or ten seconds from people reacting, but that one reacts
and they were like, all right, let's play. It was
like they was like, he said, what the fuck was doing?
He's like cut it off, cut it off, Like what
the hell was that? Yo? That is wild? And it

(01:25:26):
happened so much like if it was every now and
then it might even be better. And if the elephant
was every now and then I mean it would it
would make sense because then the elephant come in and
kind of like but they have it like every eight
bars almost that she just crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:25:42):
That might go back and listen to the cutter three
man man listen. I think, I'm really I'm gonna listen
to this. I'm gonna tell you what I think, but
I'm gonna try to listen. I'm gonna try to listen.
I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try. If anything, hopefully the
word player get me through it. But then some of
the songs he doing like a rock kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (01:26:02):
Oh yeah, yeah, I did hear that. I didn't get
to that ship, so I don't know. Yeah, they were
like it's like genre bendon because somebody said he should
have just put out a double album and then like
one album was like rock ship and one album hip hop.
I've seen the memes saying, uh, the wing got mad
he didn't get picked for the Super Bowl. Witness studio

(01:26:25):
and improved everybody why he didn't even pick for the
super Bowl. I was like, oh damn, well, no.

Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
Can we switch scars and talk about I don't know
if you have any you have any albums or music
that you do like that you or did you have
listened to and you like and they're they're good.

Speaker 1 (01:26:45):
New stuff. No, man, I'm trying to think they don't
listen to anything new. No, I have not, but I
did read book. Let me pull it up because I
can't remember the name. Yeah, I forgot what Prime? You

(01:27:06):
get a book a month. I've been sleeping on that
audio book a month? If you have Prime, Yeah, so
you get free you know, you get free Amazon music
for one oh and with no ads, and you get
a book a month. And I forgot all about that.
I knew it, but I just forgot. Okay, and where's

(01:27:29):
my book? At here? This the Psychology of Money? That's
what I've been very interesting book. I'm almost finished. I
was listening to it while I was cutting grass. What's
cool is he was like, you don't need one hundred
and twenty two page book to understand this. He said,
I could do this in fifty pages, so I think

(01:27:50):
it's a shorter book. But he said something interesting how
he said, nobody's crazy when it comes to money. I
know we're switching gears they talk about music, but I
just thought it was very interesting him saying that because
you know, often in the collecting world, you're here, why
you spending money on stupid shit like that, you know,

(01:28:11):
like with the transformers or whatever whatever it is. And
everybody has a different thing that they spend money on
that maybe looked at as frivolous. And also everybody's psychology
makes them rationalize whatever they do, so nobody, he's like,

(01:28:32):
nobody's crazy with their money. He said, if you came up,
he's talking about the Kennedy's. He's like, the Kennedy's came
up doing the depression or John Kennedy did they interviewed
somebody interviewed John Kennedy was like, you know, how was
it coming up during the depression? And he's like, I
don't want to sound elitist or I guess insensitive, but

(01:29:00):
he said he didn't feel it at all. He said
his dad made more money than they could ever spend.
He said, if anything, it was more like they had
more money than most people, and his dad would hire
people to give them jobs. Like he said, we had
more maids, we had more chefs, we had more everybody.

(01:29:22):
Because his dad was going out his way to hire
these people even though they didn't need them. They hired
them because didn't nobody have jobs. So that was his
way of kind of giving back or whatever. And he
was like, you asked somebody that couldn't eat during that time,
like they're gonna have a whole different relationship with money
now like then they did do then, say John F.

(01:29:45):
Kenny's kids or something. And I just thought, I never
thought about that. I never thought I guess around about
way I have thought about that with money, but.

Speaker 2 (01:29:57):
I, you know, didn't hear anybody. I guess put it
in words like.

Speaker 1 (01:30:01):
That, because he was talking about if you grew up
all your life and you didn't have any money, when
you got money, you would still be.

Speaker 2 (01:30:15):
Either two things. Either you would be frivolous or.

Speaker 1 (01:30:21):
You know, you'd be so tight with your money because
you never want to go back to that place, and
people wouldn't understand it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:27):
I just think like this psychology part behind all of that.

Speaker 1 (01:30:31):
And then he was talking about over he interviewed this
Asian guy and like he's making three dollars an hour
working in a factory. And the guy was like, well,
it's great for us, he said, because I can afford
for my family.

Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
He said.

Speaker 1 (01:30:49):
The only time it feels bad is when you compare
it to American jobs.

Speaker 2 (01:30:55):
And I was saying that a good like a.

Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
Few weeks ago, because they're looking at it from Orleans
like that would be you know, we would be in
poverty if we made three dollars an hour at anywhere.
But their the their government subsidizes that, they take care
of their factories.

Speaker 2 (01:31:11):
They they got a lot of safety regulations.

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
Even though people think from propaganda, they think that it's
not they think it's just.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
A bunch of sweatshops over there, but it's really not.

Speaker 1 (01:31:21):
There are some, but it's just you know, there's a
lot of factories over there from making shit. And he's like,
out ford a great life. And people look at me like,
what the hell you know you're making three dollars an hour.

Speaker 2 (01:31:34):
Well that's that's your perspective.

Speaker 1 (01:31:36):
So he's just talking about like the different ways we
look at money and why people go broke or why
they get rich.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
He's talking about the luck of it all. And I
just think it was a really great book, really really good.

Speaker 1 (01:31:51):
I'm not finished yet, but had a lot of stuff
that made me think about how I spend money and
make money. I'm like, damn, this is this is one
of and I bring this up because it's one of
the first times I've read a lot of books, a
lot of money books, a lot of self help books,
and they've had things in there that I've taken, but

(01:32:15):
not a lot, like they didn't help a whole lot.
I said that way, this is the first book where
I really grasp what he's talking about, like some of
the and that's just a few things what I what
I mentioned, But because I done read like six chat
or listen to like six chapters and they all resonated
with me and gave me some tangible things that I

(01:32:35):
can think about and use in my life. And yeah,
so yeah, that was it was It was good. I
just yeah, psychology and money. Let me see who's it by.
I don't know the person, Morgan Housel, Yeah, Morgan Housel.
It was only five It's only a five hour book,
which is pretty short compared to say other books or

(01:32:58):
whatever that I listened to.

Speaker 4 (01:33:01):
It sounds interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
Yeah, because I need to I need to start thinking
about more.

Speaker 1 (01:33:08):
You know, I'm getting older. I need to start thinking
about retirements, and not not necessarily retirement as far as
stop working, but like having a good little little nest
egg or whatever if I can. I know it's hard,
especially these days with everything being so expensive, but yeah,
I was like, I gotta start thinking about that stuff more,

(01:33:30):
getting getting older, getting older. It should have been started
thinking about it, but you know, as you get older,
you start thinking about it. I don't want to be
too late, Like I don't want to be retired and
be like I don't know what I'm doing or be
working two jobs still after retirement from my my career. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:33:48):
So, but yeah, I recommend that book to people.

Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
Yeah, I'm like, check that out, and thank you for
letting me know about, you know, with Amazon with prom
Amazon Music and you know, an audio book a month.

Speaker 1 (01:34:06):
Yeah, I didn't know that. Yeah, I always that's all
I use is Amazon Music. That's how I listen to
all my music, basically in NB three's But I been
knew that you get the music, but I didn't realize
I forgot about the audio books. I think I knew
before because I used to listen to I used to
have Audible. That's what it's sponsored through Audible, but it's
through Amazon Music. But I don't know if I realized

(01:34:29):
that you got a book a month. I just opened
it up one day and I didn't feel like listening
to music while I was cutting grass. I was like,
let me, let me see what else I can listen to,
and it was like, your free book this month is
not you didn't get none yet, Like what the hell?

Speaker 4 (01:34:45):
What the hell? What the heller?

Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
As far as music, I haven't listened to anything new.

Speaker 3 (01:34:52):
I mean there's been a few things. I don't know
if I brought this up on any other podcasts, but
on site by Coco Jones, that's a fire R and
B song.

Speaker 1 (01:35:04):
Oh yeah, that that album I've been listening to. But
I talked about it a couple of poles ago. Yeah,
well we talked a little. I mentioned it as I said,
it's a really nice album. Yeah, yeah, that that album
is nice. That's like a true R and B album,
And I appreciate it, like I I appreciate like I

(01:35:25):
haven't heard R and B like that in a while.
So yeah, she's nice. Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:35:32):
I just let Apple Music go one day like because
because I think I forget how I forget how it went.
But I think I was in the place and I
heard an interesting song on on the speakers, and so
I hit up what's it called?

Speaker 1 (01:35:52):
Zay?

Speaker 3 (01:35:54):
Did that listen to the song on my phone, and
then it then went to another song similar to the one,
kind of similar, where it started playing songs.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
Okay, so you like you just had a role, Yeah,
started playing I do that.

Speaker 1 (01:36:10):
I do that with Amazon sometimes and then it go
and to go and then it pick stuff that sounds cool. Yeah,
and I still don't even knowing who it is. I
only be looking like some because I got it on
musically it's on my TV when I do that, like
I'm listening to it through my TV through the speakers.
I don't even have the TV on sometimes but I

(01:36:31):
can't see it. Let's I go in there and turn
the TV on and see it on the TV.

Speaker 4 (01:36:37):
But yeah, so I just let it roll.

Speaker 1 (01:36:40):
Sometimes I only be knowing who it is, just like whatever,
but it's in there. Once you play it, then it's
in your like recently played.

Speaker 4 (01:36:48):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:36:48):
Sometimes I go back and listen to it again.

Speaker 3 (01:36:51):
Yeah, some some of the stuff I was liking. And
what I realized that some of the stuff it was
picking was like music with like nice beats but like
not too many words or like just some some chanting.

Speaker 1 (01:37:04):
And I was like, oh, yeah, that's the stuff I
listened to at work when I'm working because I'm typing.
I'm doing forms and stuff and trying to get people
some help, so I can't you know, I can't listen
to words. I'll be typing the words on there, like
what the fuck? I'm like, So, yeah, I gotta listen

(01:37:26):
to that ship.

Speaker 3 (01:37:27):
Yeah that was that's classical, or then it to get
to the to the point where I'll uh, it's play
something and I'll skip. But yeah, I mean I think
that's pretty much it like like like like we were
saying earlier, like I don't I don't listen to too much

(01:37:49):
music no more because I'm listening to podcasts, I'm watching
YouTube videos. Yeah, some of this stuff is maybe a
couple of weeks ago. I discovered oh, like like this
destined Conrad and Tiso Touchdown. They gotta They got a

(01:38:10):
song called the Last Time in the sound. It has
sounds of like I don't know, how do I say
R and B. It's like it's like a straight R
and B song. And Tiso touched down. His music seemed
to be all over the place, but that song I
like to hear him sing. Yeah, he's an artist. I

(01:38:30):
think he like kind of raps and sings, and he's
like he's like a newer version of Andre three thousand,
you know, kind of like as far as when it comes.

Speaker 1 (01:38:43):
To like out doing whatever, like doing whatever, like the
way he dresses and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:38:49):
That's aw a video of Andre and Big Boy kicking it.

Speaker 4 (01:38:53):
Okay, that's all cool.

Speaker 1 (01:38:55):
It was cool they was talking about. I don't know
what they were talking about. I think I had a
sound down, but I just scrolled past and then I
stopped when I saw them and they was just laughing
and like talking back and forth. I was like, damn.
I mean, people say they're together a lot, but they
just don't post. They just be chilling or whatever. They
been friends forever, so that's cool. But it's cool to

(01:39:17):
see them, yeah, kicking it. I know. I've seen Big
Boy in the studio with owls he owns, like he
owns owls, like big fucking owls like this big yeah,
one on his arm and two was like standing on
the studio boards and he's like, yeah, he's my boys.
He's like my boys. Motherfucker's in the comments like this,

(01:39:40):
when you got too much money, you just be mine.
You don't need Big Boy making money off of that yeah, probably,
or he might be yea with the dog, yeah, or
he like like that ship. He's in the pets, so
you know, he's in the animals. I think ours are cool.
People was saying stuff, and I'm like, why because he's black,

(01:40:03):
Like you can't be into the owls, like you have
no birds? Like I think that sh it was dope
And this is a big as hell And he's talking
about how you got to feed them, you know, rats
or whatever, and I was like, damn, that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:40:16):
Have you seen Tyler Perry's stroke?

Speaker 1 (01:40:19):
I have not. I have not.

Speaker 2 (01:40:22):
To me, I heard I heard mixed things about it.

Speaker 1 (01:40:26):
Some people said it's great, some people said it was good,
and then I heard some people say it was terrible.

Speaker 4 (01:40:33):
I think it's good.

Speaker 2 (01:40:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:40:34):
To me, it's good. It's a true story. No, I
don't think so.

Speaker 3 (01:40:39):
Enough I thought it was No, that's not a true
I would bet that's not a true story. But it's thrilling,
it's touching, you know, it's entertaining. There's there's things about
it that people can relate to. You know, that's there.
So there's a and I'm probably not the only one

(01:41:00):
who thought this. When I started watching it. There's things
that happen that make you think this is unrealistic, right, Okay,
But at the same time, when I after I said that,
I realized that some of those things are actually more
realistic than I thought. You know, I don't know if
you want me to not give you any spoilers.

Speaker 1 (01:41:20):
Nah, you're good, because I probably won't watch it.

Speaker 4 (01:41:23):
I would, I would. I don't know, are you sure,
because I was I would recommend it.

Speaker 1 (01:41:30):
I was, oh, no, no, no. They say it's based
on real events, but it's not a true story.

Speaker 3 (01:41:37):
I would recommend it. But but yeah, there's parts about it.

Speaker 2 (01:41:41):
I'm at that time to watch it because that's not
my type of movie.

Speaker 4 (01:41:44):
But I always watch it. What's your girl like?

Speaker 1 (01:41:47):
She probably watched it already, I think, okay, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:41:49):
Did she tell you her opinion? But yeah, like I.

Speaker 1 (01:41:53):
Actually would think she watched it already because she probably
I think. I don't really look at Tyler Perry movies
like that. Usually she watches those stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:42:01):
I think. I think Tara p Henson did a great well.

Speaker 1 (01:42:04):
Yeah, I like Taraji and the stuff that's going on.
I just seen so many mixed reviews. I was like,
I'm not wasting my time.

Speaker 2 (01:42:13):
But I try not to let people try to watch
it for myself.

Speaker 1 (01:42:17):
But at the same time, when I when I see
mixed reviews like that, like I've seen a lot, like
I've seen a lot of people say it's bad.

Speaker 2 (01:42:24):
I've seen a lot of people say it was good.
So I was like, I don't know, I.

Speaker 4 (01:42:28):
Might like it.

Speaker 1 (01:42:28):
I might be all right, yeah, you know, But then
I'm like, I ain't got time right now. I might
watch eventually when there ain't nothing else to watch. I
like it.

Speaker 3 (01:42:38):
I think it's it was entertaining enough to keep me,
Like even when I thought, like I don't want because
you watch it, Like for me, what stuck out is
like people were just being so mean to this the
main character, like everybody. It seemed like almost everybody in
every situation was being so mean to her, and I

(01:42:59):
thought that seems unrealistic. But I also thought, okay, well,
I don't have everybody's life, Like I don't know everybody's life.

Speaker 4 (01:43:07):
Ye may.

Speaker 3 (01:43:10):
Right, And like also there was a couple of things
like like there's a there's a scene where and I
kinda I wasn't paying attention or something during this scene,
so I have to watch it again.

Speaker 4 (01:43:25):
I had went to the kitchen or something, but there's
a scene where.

Speaker 3 (01:43:30):
She accidentally cuts somebody off or something like, and then
this guy goes off, and yeah, this guy goes off
and it turns turns out he's a and he hits
her car and spend her car spinds around and like
her car is like, you know, stuck or whatever. I

(01:43:50):
had to watch it again. I'm just giving a loose
like recap. But turns out he's a police officer and
he comes back and he's all mean and he's like, yo,
don't let me see you again. If I see you again,
I'm gonna find a legal way to blow your brains out.

Speaker 1 (01:44:06):
That's wild.

Speaker 4 (01:44:07):
And like, so I was watching.

Speaker 3 (01:44:12):
Someone that I that I like, Like I was watching
someone on every movie review of it, and they were
saying the police officer was on ten and he's on
ten because it's a Tyler Perry movie. And I commented, like,
I disagree with that. He's not on ten because it's
a Tyler Perry movie. He's on ten because black women

(01:44:34):
have experienced things in real life, like you know, Sonya,
Massy and others like have experienced real things and this
is a real concern, you know. Like, so that that
part right there stuck stuck out of me because there's
a part in the movie where she ends up in
the bank, and.

Speaker 1 (01:44:52):
That's a I think I saw that. Yeah, that part she.

Speaker 3 (01:44:56):
Ends up in the bank and they think she's robbing
the bank, but she's really not.

Speaker 4 (01:45:00):
She has a gun, but it's.

Speaker 3 (01:45:02):
Like she don't want to go outside because she know
that officers outside. I like that, just like, yo, I
get that. So I felt that part of the movie. Yeah,
that was a that's like a representative representation of.

Speaker 1 (01:45:17):
A real that's real, Like, yeah, that's real, and they
don't have those experiences. They don't know, don't see those,
but we see them. Yeah, I mean we see them.
We're goncious people.

Speaker 4 (01:45:31):
I know people don't.

Speaker 1 (01:45:32):
Everybody don't see it the same way, Like everybody ain't
seeing it. You know, there's still people just because.

Speaker 3 (01:45:38):
Because because what other that happened? Sonia message, that happened
to a black woman? What other kind of woman does
that happen? Have you seen that? Have you seen a
story like that about any other kind of woman that
that she called the police because she thought there was
somebody around her house. And first, well when she gets there,

(01:46:02):
she's she's she has the world up with all and
to say, please don't kill me when they get there,
and and that ends up happening. You know what I'm saying, Like,
what other kind of woman? Have you seen it happen too?
So yeah, so I thought that was realistic. And then

(01:46:22):
I thought, like, the main character is a cashier, and
just how mean the people were there? If you see
one scene? So one scene, one scene, right, she gets
to work, I guess late, and there's a whole I
never seen nothing like this, And maybe, honestly, maybe there

(01:46:43):
is some exaggeration in Tyler Perry movies, but there was
just like one cat one line open, one casts here
there and there's a whole bunch of people. The story
is filled with people, this big old line, people waiting mad.
So she get there and they and they pull up
and she like, all right, I want to use this
coupon but whatever, she said, I want my coupons to

(01:47:06):
cover this from my card to cover this. And she's like, well,
it covers this month, but they don't cover these things here.
And she's like, and the person get mad, like you
know anybody else do this for me? I'm like, she like, no, this,
I can't do it like that, and they get mad
and one of in the customer's throat breaks a glass
of pickles or something right next to her, like on

(01:47:27):
the ground, and then then't like and the.

Speaker 2 (01:47:29):
Boss means some crazy shit though, but I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:47:32):
So they walk out and the boss is like cleaning
shit up, telling her like cleaning shit up, like had
no empathy for her in the situation, And I'm like,
that seemed unrealistened to me. But then I know somebody
that described a similar situation that she worked in the
grocery store. And I don't know if there was a

(01:47:54):
customer having mental health issues and attack, I guess attack
a coworker.

Speaker 4 (01:48:01):
So the.

Speaker 3 (01:48:03):
No she was going off or something. No, she was
going off, she's yelling or whatever going on. She tried
to she now this person could have left her ship
was over, or could have took her break, but instead
she tried to help a coworker and calm the lady down.
The lady end up end up attacking her. She tried

(01:48:23):
to help, they did end up attacking her, like physically,
And so after that, the bosses and stuff and telling her,
oh I told you to go on break. You shouldn't
have got involved this and that. Yeah, they end up
letting her go. It seemed like the police wasn't a help.

(01:48:44):
So I was like, damn, Like.

Speaker 1 (01:48:47):
You know, I mean, there are experiences out there that's crazy,
you know, that's wild, and you'll be like, oh, this
can't happen, like this has never happened, and it does,
you know, So who knows? Man, Yeah, I don't know.
I might, I might check it out.

Speaker 3 (01:49:07):
Ultimately, I thought like, and it has a twist at
the end. I thought it was entertaining enough and thrilling
enough to to to to to make it a good watch.
And uh but you man, yeah, and just like I'm blessed.
I'm very blessed. So you know, some of these things

(01:49:31):
I don't experience, like just because from day to day
most people are pleasant in my in my workday.

Speaker 2 (01:49:39):
Yeah, yeah, I guess it doesn't you don't.

Speaker 1 (01:49:41):
You don't you know you deal with different people too, though,
And that's the thing, Like.

Speaker 2 (01:49:48):
In retail, I could believe it.

Speaker 1 (01:49:50):
I work retail and people are absolutely fucking assholes, like
for real, you know, and I hate. I think that's
why I hate. Now if I see somebody treating anybody.
I mean, I don't like anybody treating anybody bad, but
especially like retail workers and servers like that's I've done both,

(01:50:11):
and people are absolutely assholes to them. Yeah, and it's
crazy and for you know, you might see one or two,
but you gotta realize this person working every day all day,
so they seeing that shit like at least once a week,
if not more of an asshole like they seeing people
working at Walmart, everybody that worked there, and seeing at

(01:50:34):
least one asshole this week, like and done had to
deal with one fucker that that act like a fucking
asshole this week, I guarantee.

Speaker 3 (01:50:43):
I mean, shoot, when I used to work at Dombin,
those I've seen that sometimes dealt with it.

Speaker 4 (01:50:48):
Yeah. I remember what time this lady just I don't know,
I forget.

Speaker 3 (01:50:54):
She was just like he was just talking to me
a certain way and just complaining and just being rude.
And I just was like, okay, yes, okay, yes, yes ma'am, yes, okay, yeah,
I can do that.

Speaker 4 (01:51:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:51:07):
And there was another lady looking at me like she
was annoyed.

Speaker 1 (01:51:11):
At you because you was you was treating her like
she shouldn't have been like now I feel you because
I see I see people on online, like I see
like videos on the internet, and I'm like, I'm glad
that wasn't me, because I'm glad he god know not
put me in them situations because it would have been

(01:51:32):
a totally different thing. I'm like, you people too patient
for me that you know.

Speaker 3 (01:51:38):
I remember one time this this young guy he had
went into like some branch of the armed forces. So
he went away from basic training or something, and he
came back. So when he came back, this dude was
like real, no nonsense. He was a young guy. So
he working behind the counter. So this older guy coming

(01:52:00):
and he stopped being a little rude, and the young
guy looking at him like what you said, and the
dude like, straighten up, dude, oh uh yeah, no's okay.

Speaker 1 (01:52:10):
And sometimes that's what they need, Like you know, people
be sometimes two people don't be knowing their assholes. Sometimes
a lot of times they assholes and they kind of
know their assholes. But there's sometimes when people having a
bad day or something, sometimes they need to be checked,
like they're straighten up, they'll get right, like you know,

(01:52:30):
because people don't understand. It's kind of like Uh. I
saw in that video where dude, the white dude was like, uh, boy,
I beat your ass. He was talking to this black
dude and dude was like, oh, I'm ready for this,
and he took off his coat. He's like, come on
to The white dude was like Yo, That shit was
so funny because he was like talking to him reckless.

(01:52:51):
He's like, bitch, I beat your ass. Fuck you, and
I don't know what. I don't know if dude just snapped,
but he was like, oh, I've been waiting for this
all day. Start taking off. He's like, yeah, come on.

Speaker 2 (01:53:02):
It's like I'm been waiting for this.

Speaker 1 (01:53:05):
Dudes like white dudes just sitting there like like yeah,
you ain't expect the motherfucker to act like that. The
dude was big, like the dude was. The black dude
was little, and the white dude was big as hell.
He was just like he's right, like, hey, my size
usually get me out of this ship. Like I didn't
think he was gonna go here with it. So yeah,

(01:53:27):
sometimes people need to be checked shit crazy before we
go though, I want to ask some questions. So I
was just thinking because we played the game today at
our little outing for my professional job. And they had

(01:53:47):
these little pieces, these little jinger pieces with questions on them.
I thought they were pretty dope. So let me ask
you these questions someone and I might answer him to.
So one of the questions where you had a choice
listen to the same song every day, the only only

(01:54:13):
one song, one song for a year. You can only
listen to one song on repeat for a year, or
listen to no music at all for a year. What
would you pick and what would the song be? If
you picked a song, listen to one song, you could

(01:54:34):
only listen to one song on repeat. When you listen
to music, you can only listen to that one song
on and that's it. Whenever you listen to me, listen
to no music at all, zero, zero.

Speaker 4 (01:54:46):
Music for a year, No, I would have. I listened
to a song.

Speaker 1 (01:54:54):
A song. That's what I said. That's what I've listened to.
A lot of people say they wouldn't listen to nothing
for a year. I couldn't listen to no music for you,
I don't think. But but one song for you? It
might drive me crazy, like that's yeah, I mean, but
you don't have to whenever you listen to have to
be that one song.

Speaker 2 (01:55:12):
Yeah, yeah, I would. I picked that too. Yeah that's cool.

Speaker 4 (01:55:17):
So I mean you said, what song?

Speaker 1 (01:55:21):
Yeah, what's on? Would it be? I couldn't pick a
song right on the spot because we only had a
couple of minutes.

Speaker 4 (01:55:28):
But you gotta pick a song.

Speaker 1 (01:55:30):
Yeah, but I couldn't because we only had a couple
of seconds. I had to think about that.

Speaker 3 (01:55:34):
But no, give me a song. You gotta pick it
right now or you ain't gonna have no music for
the next year. You got ten seconds. What's song?

Speaker 4 (01:55:43):
Come on? Give me one? Come on five four three
two one.

Speaker 2 (01:55:52):
I have no music, no, you know what.

Speaker 1 (01:55:54):
I was trying to think of a song with a
bunch of artists, like a possibly so I could be like,
I'm just gonna listen to his part today. I'm just
gonna listen to his part for a week and listen
to this person part. Okay, like self destruction now that
dang song I want to hear it.

Speaker 4 (01:56:11):
It's like too much music.

Speaker 3 (01:56:13):
Like if I was in the pinch not to make
a decision right now, I probably go with, like, uh,
something more recent, like on Site by Coco Jones, because
that's that's the that's the experience that I've had with
that song. Like when I first heard it, I was amazing.
I kept listening to it though, and and singing to it.

(01:56:33):
That's what I like when a song got me singing,
I want to sing and you know, sing like it.
So I might listen that might be the one because
that's what I'm feeling it and I and I tend
to like I tend to be more most into music
that I'm having that recent experience with, Like I could

(01:56:53):
go back.

Speaker 2 (01:56:56):
But that's because it's new. Yeah, yeah, after year.

Speaker 1 (01:57:01):
Won't be new no more.

Speaker 3 (01:57:03):
Well, I'll you know, don't know, but I mean, anything else,
I would have to really think.

Speaker 2 (01:57:07):
About it, you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (01:57:10):
And and anything else I've had that long experience with already.

Speaker 1 (01:57:15):
Okay, you know, yeah, that's the thing that I was thinking,
Cause I was thinking, I was like, oh, it's a
couple of songs I can just listen to and listen to.

Speaker 2 (01:57:21):
But I was like, I already listened.

Speaker 1 (01:57:22):
To and listen to, already already repeated them songs for
a damn week almost, like.

Speaker 2 (01:57:28):
So I would get tired of it. There's something still
have to be something new, and like it's.

Speaker 4 (01:57:32):
Some stuff that's so great, but it's like you don't want.

Speaker 1 (01:57:35):
To listen to every damn day, or.

Speaker 4 (01:57:37):
You don't want to listen to it. You have this experience.

Speaker 3 (01:57:40):
Some stuff is good, it's great, but I don't want
to hear it because I already played it out, like.

Speaker 4 (01:57:45):
Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:57:47):
Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of stuff like that, A
lot of stuff. All right, So let me think I'm
trying to remember a few of the questions. I only
asked a couple more. Uh, and I have a question too, Okay,
the one damn what was the one I got I

(01:58:08):
couldn't answer.

Speaker 4 (01:58:10):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:58:10):
It was like, if you could have an assistant for
a year follow your around every day all day, what
would you have them do for you? Like one thing?
They can only do one thing. Yeah, they're going to
do one thing for you, but they'll follow you for

(01:58:32):
the whole year and do that thing. I couldn't pick.
I didn't know at the end of the day.

Speaker 2 (01:58:38):
I said, driving, said driving at the end of.

Speaker 4 (01:58:42):
The day, to assist me with something.

Speaker 1 (01:58:44):
Yeah, it could be anything. They could do anything.

Speaker 3 (01:58:49):
Oh, I think I kind of got an answer for
that right now. Right now.

Speaker 1 (01:58:57):
It would be like to like read my mail for
me read your mail to go through to collect my mail.
You got that much mail?

Speaker 3 (01:59:08):
Yeah, I got a bag full of mail. I haven't yet,
like like I gotta like you know them bags that
you get from Balimot. Yeah, I got a bag full
of mail, dann, I need to go through. That's crazy.
I only get mail like that. So I think that's
what it would be like every time a new piece
of mail, like, oh, what's that? What's about what they say? Like,

(01:59:29):
what is it? Okay? So I could.

Speaker 1 (01:59:36):
Yeah, well, I guess because you be on the road, yeah,
I said driving even though I like driving, but I
like to sleep too, So I was like, I could
sleep in the car wherever I went, Like you know,
take a little nap on the way to work. They
take a little nap on the way home.

Speaker 2 (01:59:54):
Like, so I was like, yeah, driving.

Speaker 1 (01:59:56):
Oh, I think I got an even better one. You
wouldn't want them to drive for you. I'd be like
rib I.

Speaker 4 (02:00:06):
Would say, either the male thing or be my personal trainer.

Speaker 1 (02:00:11):
Well yeah, I don't know that. Well, I like a
better one, Like I don't know if that would qualify
be my nutrition iss true, And that's what I thought
later on, like because you only had a couple. You
had to pick it, read it, and then give an
answer and went around. It was like an ice breaker,
so we went around. It was like twenty five thirty people,

(02:00:35):
so we had to just hurry up and give an answer.

Speaker 4 (02:00:37):
But then later on.

Speaker 1 (02:00:38):
I said, cook for me, Like, so that's kind of nutrition,
because I would want good, good meals, you know, not
not nothing bullshit.

Speaker 3 (02:00:46):
Well, I guess my first pickure would have been the
male thing. But after thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (02:00:50):
A while, yeah, yeah, you think about it. Yeah, you
ain't had time to think about it. Let me let
me ask one more. Oh, if you can only keep
one app on you know, yeah, one app on your phone,
what would it be?

Speaker 4 (02:01:06):
Only one app? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:01:08):
One app on your phone?

Speaker 4 (02:01:10):
Are we not counting the phone app?

Speaker 1 (02:01:12):
Well no, not not anything that makes the phone function,
but extracurricular apps like social media, uh, movie apps or
all that stuff, all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:01:23):
One app on your phone? What would it be?

Speaker 1 (02:01:27):
That's tough, that is, especially these days. I see YouTube,
but there's a lot of other apps that I would
want to keep, But I think that's that's the one
that I would.

Speaker 4 (02:01:43):
I think YouTube is the one.

Speaker 1 (02:01:45):
But also because I could do a lot of stuff
with that, watch the videos, listen to music plus album
a YouTuber. So I couldn't but because of.

Speaker 3 (02:01:54):
The JBP, Like I use Patreon a lot too, just
for them. Well I got actually, but you could. You
could get some of it from YouTube. Yeah, but the
little Patreon all of it.

Speaker 1 (02:02:06):
Yeah yeah, I mean you had to.

Speaker 4 (02:02:07):
Go without it, that would be tough.

Speaker 2 (02:02:09):
But well you had to have to pick Patreon it.

Speaker 3 (02:02:13):
I think I'd have to choose YouTube, even though I
like the JBP, like you could get a lot.

Speaker 1 (02:02:20):
I use the YouTube a lot, like, Yeah, that's that's
like my number one app. When I look at my
apps like touch screen time, YouTube is usually number one.
And that's that's only because of twofold, because I'm using
it to edit my videos and do all that and
upload it.

Speaker 4 (02:02:39):
That's all that.

Speaker 3 (02:02:41):
Because that JPP on the Patreon all the all the
Patreon episodes.

Speaker 2 (02:02:49):
Yeah, that's a lot of a lot of episodes on it, right, But.

Speaker 3 (02:02:51):
Then you get a whole lot, You get a whole
like you can experience music, you get a whole lot
of stuff from YouTube.

Speaker 1 (02:02:58):
Got yeah for me, Like I got a couple of Patreons,
but YouTube, YouTube would be it. I made that decision easy,
not that it would be easy, but I made the decision.

Speaker 3 (02:03:12):
About Patreon is even though I'm only subscribed to a
few people, now.

Speaker 1 (02:03:17):
You get a lot of people. Yeah, but then you
have to pay. I was like, nah, I ain't paying
for that. I ain't paying because then you had to
pay all that stuff. I mean, I pay for YouTube,
but that's seventeen hours a month. So just to have
no ads, it'll probably be YouTube. Yeah, it'll be YouTube
because you get a variety of stuff on there, Like

(02:03:40):
I keep discovering new people and that new stuff I
like on there. Yeah, and it's kind of open ended,
so you know, like your messaging. I think they would
let you keep that. Yeah, you know, your text messages.
That's kind of like an app. And of course the phone,

(02:04:01):
everything that makes the phone you be a regular phone,
but all the.

Speaker 2 (02:04:05):
Extracurricular I think they were talking about.

Speaker 3 (02:04:07):
I'm good social media. I choose YouTube over Instagram.

Speaker 2 (02:04:11):
Yeah, I would if I have to, Like, I really
like Instagram, but if I have to.

Speaker 1 (02:04:16):
I would choose you to. Yeah, that would be it
for me.

Speaker 4 (02:04:20):
Any more questions.

Speaker 3 (02:04:22):
I got one that I thought about this, what's the
best thing that you've ever said?

Speaker 4 (02:04:29):
To someone.

Speaker 3 (02:04:31):
It could be like you said to a loved one,
you know, something meaningful, like the best thing, Like it
was real and it communicated you. You communicated what you
felt perfectly and it was meaningful and it meant something

(02:04:52):
to you, and you think it probably meant something to
that person too.

Speaker 1 (02:05:02):
And this might be a testament to how poorly I
am at communicating, because I'm thinking about it and I'm like,
I don't I don't know, I don't know what to pick,
like I don't know, like I know, I'm not a
good I'm not a good communicator. Like verbally I can.
I can write my feelings. I can write my communications

(02:05:26):
way better, way more than I can speaking.

Speaker 3 (02:05:30):
Let me give you let me give you my answer,
and maybe see if it helps you come up with yours.
All right, But one Father's Day I told my dad
because my dad, you know, my dad is like, you know, successful,
like hard worker, you know, just just seem to have

(02:05:55):
it altogether, you know. Yeah, So I told my dad
and and and and and and I credit a lot
of good things about me and the good trajectory. What
could good trajectjectory could couldn't cut good good trajectory rejectory

(02:06:20):
in my life, moving the good, the good way.

Speaker 1 (02:06:26):
The good way, you're moving forward the T word meaning
moving forward, like the.

Speaker 3 (02:06:32):
Good the good path that I like because at one
point when I was younger, I felt like I could
have went on a different path. Yeah, and then like
he came into my life because he's he's my sister's
biological father. He came into my life, and then I
felt like things got better, right, I got better. So

(02:06:56):
basically I said to him, I'm not as good as you,
but I'm as as good as I am because of you.

Speaker 1 (02:07:05):
Oh that's dope. That's dope. That's that. That would be
a dope thing to hear your son say, especially your
step son. I know he's like your real dad. And
I don't like using step when it's like that because
I have a situation like that and I don't consider
myself a step uh. But yeah, that's dope. That's that's

(02:07:29):
the dope thing to hear. And it's funny because I
can't remember. I don't know, I don't know what i've
you know, maybe I did, but I can't remember saying things.
I can remember what other people have said to me,

(02:07:51):
like like you know, I can remember my son on graduation,
like he told me something that you know, will keep
with me because it's the first time he's ever said
anything like that, because he's like you, No, he's like me.
He's quiet, he doesn't talk a lot, doesn't show his
emotions a lot, like like that. And so I just remember,

(02:08:15):
I'm not gonna say it, you know, but I I
remember that and will always remember that. But me, I
don't know. I don't know. It's kind of sad for me.
I'm thinking, like, and I'm thinking it's a testament to

(02:08:35):
my communication because I don't communicate. I'm not a great communicator.
I can I can recognize that for myself, and I
think it comes from growing up. Like I don't like
to put everything on my parents, but they weren't good communicators.
I don't think to each other and definitely not to us,
you know. So yeah, I don't I would think about it.

(02:09:00):
It could be my memory too, like and I and
somewhat maybe somebody else could answer that, like like if
you ask somebody else, maybe they wouldn't say, you know,
what I said to them that might have conveyed that
Maybe I'm just not remembering or don't know. Yeah, but

(02:09:20):
you it was just dope, Like that's that would be
a dope thing to hear from your son, Like that's
it's similar to what my son told me. But yeah,
that's that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (02:09:35):
Yeah man, but.

Speaker 1 (02:09:37):
That's a good I think that's a good way to
end the pod. That's a good positive outlooks. Yeah, happy
Father's Day. I was just gonna say that. I was like,
you just brought that up, and Father's Day's coming. It's
power to probably be out after Father's Day, but still
it'll be father's father's weak or whatever. So yeah, so

(02:09:59):
father in your life and or around, tell him what's up,
treat him right, all right?

Speaker 2 (02:10:10):
So I will get up.

Speaker 1 (02:10:10):

you too.

Speaker 4 (02:10:22):

Speaker 2 (02:10:23):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 4 (02:10:24):
All right, we are all right.

Speaker 2 (02:10:26):
