Ep. 65 | Scam Economy, Stripped Rights & Stay Schemin’ | Selective Ignorance

Added: 2026-05-30

[00:00:00]Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Welcome to another episode of Selective Ignorance with me, your host, Mandy B. And y'all, we are getting into all of the things this week. Up first in This is America.

[00:00:15]We are getting into politics. Um, for a lot of local places, y'all know voting has ended, but we are talking the fact that we as a people are losing our voting rights. and how we're talking about not only the black vote, but ladies, did you know that we are also losing our vote as well? Find out how we're getting into all of it. We're educating you on it if you're a little bit ignorant. Then we're getting into an Isaiah Martin clip. That's right. Where he sits with a CEO who says that if the wage isn't enough for you, you shouldn't take the job. and proceeds to also tell the community that at the end of the day, if you take the job, you take the money. What are you complaining about?

[00:01:02]And if you want more money, you should just go work more jobs. Oh, yeah. And he was actually sounding like Trump is what he was sounding like. Trump, our president, who says that he actually doesn't think about the country's financial situation at all. Then a celebrity say the darnest things.

[00:01:19]Christian, is he Christian? Christian rapper. Is that what I would call him more of an activist activist?

[00:01:28]>> Scholastic artist D1. This is Karisha's new song. Find out what he has to say and our thoughts on that. And then it wouldn't be us taking advantage of the stimulus package that is Drake without talking about Rick Ross who recently shared his comments on Drake's recent album release. Anyways, let's get into all of the things selective ignorance, guys. And as usual, I am joined by my super producer without an S. Jason is not here today, but of course, I am joined by OG pot legend.

[00:05:20]I was like, "Bro, >> you know what's crazy? Well, when you're on camera, add some weight."

[00:05:36]>> That's crazy. But but that's the default hate, right? They It's something that they oppose. They automatically attack some personal [ __ ] like, "Oh, that [ __ ] hat is dirty." Well, the [ __ ] one of the [ __ ] in there was like, "Oh, he be on CNN. CNN is owned by UMG and UMG, it's the same companies. This [ __ ] is paid by the Zionists to PUSH THE AGENDA." I WAS LOOKING AT the you [ __ ] love Drake this much. I was like, "Wow." And technically he would Aby would be a >> I mean >> this is the part of the room that won't get the stem of the package.

[00:06:41]>> Yeah. Everybody's going to see everybody.

[00:06:43]>> You can't take back certain comments.

[00:06:45]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:06:46]>> Were they getting disrespectful in there?

[00:06:49]>> I could tell they were struggling to figure out how are they going to participate because some people I was like, "Ooh, interesting."

[00:06:55]>> My homies that don't know you cuz we have a lot of mutual homies. Yeah, >> but the homies that don't know you is in the DMs like, "Yo, who is your man?

[00:07:30]>> Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to the internet.

[00:07:32]>> I had a fantastic time. I love and appreciate each >> because because when you when you even were doing the bossip, it wasn't it didn't feel like a direct attack. When you do the bossip headlines or you're talking about celebrities or even when you get on Twitter, when you >> even when you're on CNN, it doesn't hit like this.

[00:07:49]>> Yeah. No, the the the format the format is ripe for >> [ __ ] to be outraged and for [ __ ] to be angry and upset and and respond in ways that like attacks them emotionally.

[00:08:01]I love that [ __ ] >> I think I think what it goes to show more than anything is how >> how much it's why this show even, you know, with a sexual life, it goes to show how >> people get so emotionally charged by someone just having a difference of an opinion.

[00:08:19]>> That's all. And then when they come to you about like why their opinion is their opinion, they can't really back it up. They can't explain why. They're just emotionally charged and they don't know why. Right. Yeah.

[00:08:29]>> It's insane.

[00:08:30]>> You know, is barbershop talk, right?

[00:08:32]>> Yeah. That's so barbershop talk is, you know, you have a community of dudes for the most part.

[00:08:37]>> They're just engaging in conversation about dislike, like about hip-hop, what movies, whatever, right? But I never seen it to a point where you're going to say something foul to somebody that's present, right? So, I think the internet makes it a a way where now we can say it foul cuz I I think I might not see you ever tricky.

[00:08:53]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:08:54]>> Tricky.

[00:08:55]>> Why?

[00:08:55]>> Tricky. Cuz first off, that's why I'm nervous this summer cuz I don't already bought jaw around a friend and they was arguing in the strip club.

[00:09:02]>> THEM [ __ ] LIKE J IS SOMEONE.

[00:09:06]>> YO, this [ __ ] eating a whole t-bone steak. That [ __ ] that [ __ ] eating bang but I'm going to [ __ ] it up. Beignet with the powder. Dipping the powder. I'm like, these [ __ ] are casually slicing each other up, eating their favorite foods.

[00:09:20]>> I'm like, when y'all going to put that [ __ ] down and be like, >> um, I did want to bring one of the ignorant moments. So, I had class assembly last week. Yes.

[00:09:31]>> And following I stayed on with our classmates, our our problematics. By the way, uh, Treb said we can take his gold star away for this month because he refuses to spend hours watching anything on Nature Boy. Um, but I'm gonna give I'M GONNA GIVE Y'ALL the homework if you haven't yet. Um, not only is there a three-part uh Hulu doc on Nature Boy, >> babe, THERE'S 49 PARTS.

[00:09:56]>> HOOD OF PARTS.

[00:09:57]>> Hood horrors on YouTube.

[00:09:59]>> I would say watch the one through eight. That gives you his childhood upbringing and his first baby mama >> and how he got to Atlanta first. And then I would say go to like 16 to 24 because that kind of shows um the HIV allegations, the herpes allegations. It shows also >> how the women >> in the doc Oh my god, Barry bingo card.

[00:10:29]I'm not hating women right now, but it does show how the women were also >> inflicting harm and pain and >> sexual assault to each other >> for him. So, and and I don't know what what part yet I haven't got to.

[00:10:45]Apparently, the men were drinking his semen. So, also real real gay. I don't know.

[00:10:51]>> Yeah, the clip I saw he was um he was saying that gay being gay is a is a is a cat spirit.

[00:10:58]and he start meowing and then he saidow.

[00:11:00]He's like meow. And then they were doing. So you watching I'm like they're all behind. I'm like ain't no way. And I'm waiting for it. I'm like please don't do it. And they did it in unison.

[00:11:09]Like it was a choir. They were like meow meow meow meow. I'm like what?

[00:11:13]>> Listen.

[00:11:14]>> Yo, ain't no charisma in the world going to make me drink nut and meow.

[00:11:18]>> Like I don't care how funny you are.

[00:11:21]That's crazy. Like what?

[00:11:22]>> Crazy, bro. Crazy. These [ __ ] >> I I drink nut for charisma. I ain't going. Well, that's different. That's a little different.

[00:11:28]>> C7 different different structure.

[00:11:32]>> But I did I did want to bring up something. Um >> I'm not going to say her name because I don't know if her friend that she was talking about listens to the show, but basically >> one of our our dope classmates, uh, shout out to her. She knows who she is.

[00:11:48]She was like, "Hey, so I have an ignorant question that I want to ask you." And I was like, "Okay, you know what? I'm going to bring this to the show because this is a really good question." So she's like, "So I have a really good friend >> that for pretty much her whole life, they've known each other since they were kids. She was like, "My my friend has talked about how much she despises her father, how terrible he treated her, how awful he was to her, and there's never been anything good that I've heard about her relationship with her dad."

[00:12:16]>> Okay. Okay.

[00:12:17]>> Her dad recently passed.

[00:12:19]>> Okay.

[00:12:19]>> And so she's sad. She's crying. And the the the girl who's a classmate was like, "I have a problem with how I'm supposed to show up for her because you've only said bad things about this person. You didn't have a relationship with him. He didn't treat you well while he was here.

[00:12:38]I feel a way that I now have to console her for being sad about someone that I know wasn't good to her while he was here." And she was like, "Is it ignorant that I kind of don't want to be there for her in this moment?" And I was like, "Wow, this is a really good question."

[00:12:56]And I wanted to bring it to y'all because I have thoughts on it and I have a personal uh attachment even to my thoughts on this. But I'm curious to know how you guys have grieved someone >> um in your family who didn't do right by you while they were here or also have you been the friend of someone who was grieving someone that wasn't good to them. And is it ignorance to battle, you know, with how to show up for someone during this this type of thing?

[00:13:27]>> I feel like I can't I don't think I have a personal connection to the story as far as like I don't I've never grieved anyone who did me dirty or or had that kind of situation. But what I would say to the question specifically to that thing is like, "Hey, listen, man.

[00:13:44]Somebody doing you bad doesn't necessarily equate to like emotionally how you feel about the person, right?

[00:13:50]Like you might have a ex that did you dirty that you love that person and you still emotionally you still kind of feel a type of way about that person, but if you heard something happened to him, it would [ __ ] you up." or you know other situations where you might have had a friend who was a was a bad friend and y'all fell out but you might not want the person to to pass away or to die. So it could be complicated especially with a parent.

[00:14:16]>> Yeah. Yeah, >> cuz it's like I know people that have bad relationships with their parents or at least tenuous relationships with their parents and you know they went through a lot of [ __ ] when that person died because it's like not only do I uh did we have a tight relationship or a bad relationship rather but like now after you pass away I got to deal with all of your the aftermath the funeral and the bills and all of this administrative stuff and it's like that could be a tough spot to be in.

[00:14:43]>> What about you, King?

[00:14:43]>> Yeah, you know, it's funny. I I don't I don't I I don't have a personal connection to to to you know, but I think when it comes to being there for somebody, you just still have I think there should be some grace given because that person clearly there's a feeling of loss, a feeling of regret, a feeling of them wishing the relationship could have been better.

[00:15:03]Otherwise, they'd be like, "Man, [ __ ] them." Yeah.

[00:15:05]>> But they're not. And I think that that that void, even them sharing the turbulence, that's more >> why >> unpacking, right? If they're not going to a therapist, they're you're the therapist now. So, I don't think we could I don't think uh old girls should bottle up and have harbor any feelings where they can't show up for for the person. I think should definitely do it.

[00:15:26]And again, just be the shoulder in the air again, you know? Mhm.

[00:15:29]>> So, I'm not going to lie, when she asked that question, >> it hit me >> because I do not have a good relationship or a solid relationship with my dad or my sister.

[00:15:43]>> Yeah.

[00:15:43]>> Okay.

[00:15:43]>> And >> older sister or younger sister?

[00:15:45]>> Younger. I'm the oldest.

[00:15:46]>> Oldest. Okay. Um, and so for me, and this is something I've even talked about in therapy, >> I am preparing myself >> to feel guilty and grief.

[00:16:00]>> Hear me out.

[00:16:01]>> Wow.

[00:16:01]>> I think that they are not good people.

[00:16:05]>> Um, I have a lot of history with treatment of them and ways in which they lack showing up or things that they've said to me that I can't get over. And a part of me last last year my dad went into the hospital for a heart thing and my mom called me and immediately I was like I felt something.

[00:16:26]>> Yeah.

[00:16:27]>> Mhm.

[00:16:28]>> Right.

[00:16:28]>> And I didn't even I didn't call him, didn't check on him. He lived and I was like, "Oh, wow. I'm gonna I'm g I'm preparing myself to be guilty for not mending this relationship with this human being." Same with my sister. But in present day, I don't feel like they're capable of being someone that would bring any sort of positivity into my life.

[00:16:51]>> I think that they are they're they're cruel, >> right?

[00:16:54]>> They don't take accountability. They're not nice.

[00:16:58]>> Um and in a way of protecting my energy while I am here, I know that when they're gone, there's going to be a whole lot of would a should have couldas.

[00:17:07]>> Yeah. And knowing that, I'm still not willing to I'm still not active. I'm still not acting on it.

[00:17:13]>> Now, that I can relate to.

[00:17:14]>> So, in so in her asking that story, it's crazy because >> I'm going to grieve. I'm going to feel sad. And I wonder too if with this person that's her friend, if it's not as much as they're gone, but it's the regret in knowing that you had the chance to mend something. you had the chance to share your thoughts or emotions or get things off your chest, but when you feel like it's not going to be received, when you feel like that person is who that person is and they're just not great and you just don't want them in your life because they're not going to bring anything but turmoil, >> right? when they're gone.

[00:17:52]Yes, it's I'm gonna be sad, but I think the grief is going to also be a lot of regret and guilt that >> which is crazy that I'm preparing myself for those feelings.

[00:18:03]>> Yeah.

[00:18:04]>> On top of the grief that just someone's gone. Mind you, you don't get often times you don't ever get another dad unless it's a stepdad, but you don't get another biological dad. And >> based on my mama's tubes, I ain't getting another sister. So, this is it.

[00:18:19]You know what I mean? Like and so it's it is it's it >> my mom always says you only get one.

[00:18:25]>> You you only get one and while they're here, >> do your as long as you do your part, >> right?

[00:18:31]>> Okay.

[00:18:32]>> Nothing else matters cuz you So if you if you're the one that's initiating the repair, if you're the one that's saying, "Hey, I want to do my best to fix this." So that's I'm not >> but I'm saying if you get to that place, okay, >> at least if even if it don't work out in the EV in the inevitability of transition, you know in your heart that you tried all you can while they were here. So you won't have that guilt.

[00:18:58]>> But that's what I I think I'm preparing to have the guilt. I'm preparing the guilt because because I had enough combos enough that come around enough to where it's like, oh, you're not going to change and you're not getting better.

[00:19:10]like I don't have it in me. I'm not a therapist. I don't have patience. And then I do have a sister that's bipolar and BPD.

[00:19:18]>> Mhm.

[00:19:19]>> So like >> it's No, wait. BPD and what's the other?

[00:19:24]>> What's the other one? Uh bipol BPD is bipolar disorder. Okay.

[00:19:28]>> And then um >> schizophrenic.

[00:19:30]>> No, multiple personality. Borderline.

[00:19:32]>> Okay. Right. Right. Yeah.

[00:19:33]>> And and like >> so there's a lot going on there that that contributes to why the rel but that's also a thing where it's like Mind you, hold on. So bad. So where, you know, I just went fishing a couple weeks ago >> in a way to where it's like she wasn't invited because she ruins everything.

[00:19:50]>> Um, she decides to text my other sister.

[00:19:54]>> Hope hope none of y'all get too drunk and fall off the boat.

[00:19:59]>> What?

[00:20:00]>> Mind you, bringing up the drinking and things that which has already been >> That's what she says.

[00:20:06]>> It's a cold world.

[00:20:08]And I'm like, disgusting.

[00:20:11]>> Yeah.

[00:20:12]>> Mind you, there's like layers.

[00:20:13]Disgusting.

[00:20:14]>> Yeah.

[00:20:15]>> And that's the text that I get. And it's just like, oh, and this is why like you're just not invited. like you're an evil person and you don't even try to.

[00:20:24]>> But knowing that she has a condition, that might also play into some of the guilt, right, of like, >> yeah, this person is like a terrible person to me and I don't [ __ ] with them, but I also know that they're not like all the way right.

[00:20:40]>> That is my ignorance. And I will say, I know when it comes to mental health, um, a lot of people make excuses for their behavior, for who they are as humans because of the neurological issues that they have. I don't know if you guys have been seeing couples therapy, >> but there's there's a man on there who has manipulated who who throws tantrums, but he's autistic and everything gets blamed for his autism. Right.

[00:21:08]>> To me, >> there's there's a level of awareness.

[00:21:11]>> Yeah.

[00:21:12]>> That like that can't be the excuse for everything. And unfortunately for the people on the receiving end, we don't deserve to just extend the grace and be bered and humiliated and manipulated and and chastised because you have this neurological dysfunction. And so for me, that's that's like my boundary. I'm not going to lie in in in full ignorance in in a way that y'all know I care about mental health. I ain't got time for the [ __ ] with with those sort of of of psychological issues. I can't I don't have the patience to do it. And I'm sorry. Take that elsewhere. Good luck with your love life. Good luck with work. I can't be involved with somebody who that and I'm that I'm just supposed to put up with it because they're diagnosed. I can't do it.

[00:22:00]>> No, I think that's fair. And I think I think two things are true, right? Like I I have a a soft push back against excuse because I don't think it's an excuse. I think that's what it is.

[00:22:12]>> But I don't but I don't think it makes the treatment okay. I don't think you have to accept it. I don't think anybody has to accept being abused basically by somebody because they have a condition.

[00:22:22]That person needs to seek help. But also, if they could help it, I guess the question would be like, if they didn't have these afflictions, would they still be like that? And I think most of the time, the answer is probably no. Some people, anyone can just be evil. It doesn't stop you from being evil. Just because you have a condition. But chances are if people are acting out in certain kind of ways, you just know like that's just what it is. And I commend >> anyone who >> anyone who is who willingly can work past >> and look past and heal past all of the trauma that is put on to you by dealing with someone with a diagnosis like that, you know. So, um >> I would say this real quick, too. Yep.

[00:23:05]not to not to the the uh the diagnosis part of it, but as far as like the complicated relationship between grief, guilt, and all of that kind of stuff, I would suggest everybody go watch is God is.

[00:23:20]>> Oh, this weekend. No, it's a it's a great film. There's It's not perfect. I think people will have like fair criticisms of it, but I think it's a dope film. And >> that's the one they're they're criticizing right now cuz it's the black women going to kill the the the dad.

[00:23:32]>> The two Yeah. the two sisters, two twin sisters going to kill their dad for >> the abuse and trauma, >> setting them on fire, them and their mother on fire. And I won't I'm not going to spoil the thing, but when the scene arrives where we finally get like the the the meeting >> um things that are said in there and things that happen in there and the reaction to what goes on, I think I think it's well written. I think it's well written. I think it's well directed. I think there could be some pacing issue stuff. There could be some things that like people who are going to take offense to the idea of these ide >> you got to see the it's a movie. You got to see the movie to see why someone would feel that way. Because if the roles were reversed and it was two black men or or >> if it was two black men going to kill their black mother because their black mother set them on fire and their father on fire, I think [ __ ] would understand why these two [ __ ] want to go kill her.

[00:24:29]>> Yeah. But like it would it would kind of not that we want to see black people killing each other, but >> I think that's that's what that's what the issue is.

[00:24:36]>> Yeah, I think that's more what it is.

[00:24:39]>> But I do want to see it.

[00:24:39]>> Yeah. I think it it addresses some of this thing of like >> if this person was to pass away and you and they did you bad, how would you deal with that?

[00:24:50]>> Yeah.

[00:24:51]>> So it it has some of that in there. So I would like people to go see it and then >> and and and I will just like for for people with tumultuous relationships with their parents as we get older mending those or have like it it becomes even more hard because you're looking now not at your parent as a parent but as an adult grown person >> and you get to see their flaws. You get to like look at them as a peer essentially. We got the same bills. We have the same like we're dealing with all the same things. I'm not a child anymore. And so it becomes just a little difficult with forgiveness I would say uh at this age. Um but let's get into it. This is America baby. Um it's been the conversation happening for uh a few weeks now. Y >> um >> we do know that midterms are coming up in November >> fast.

[00:25:38]>> And yeah, >> it's coming very I mean it's already May. May is actually almost pretty much over.

[00:25:46]>> Over so it's June now. So half the year is gone like November is coming. Um, and what the conversations are specifically being had currently are the fact that we are losing our voting rights and the Supreme Court is pretty much uh heading it because we're now seeing a lot of redlinining and gerrymandering happening which John do you want to kind of lean into that because I want to talk about the the other uh act that's also being you know uh being enacted but talk to us about what's happening with the red lining. and why it's impacting our votes.

[00:26:22]>> Well, essentially with with gerrymandering, um these congressional districts uh are are redrawn every few years. And with the redrawing of these districts, you can basically rig the election so that people who live in majority black neighborhoods don't are are out of populized, I guess, for lack of a better word, by other people. So you don't get to necessarily choose your representative. You might live somewhere and depending on where the map is drawn. If it's a majority black neighborhood that also includes all of these white counties and areas, then it's like you basically get drowned out because there's significantly just less of us here than there are of them.

[00:27:06]And so um when these maps get redrawn in places like Texas and um I believe in Georgia and I >> I could be wrong about this. I think in Virginia. Yeah, Virginia. Yeah, Virginia was the other one.

[00:27:20]>> It's like they are playing these game of keeping not that your vote doesn't count, but they're keeping you at arms length from being able to elect the people that you want to elect because of how the math is.

[00:27:32]>> Yep.

[00:27:32]>> And like this is part of their game.

[00:27:34]They know that >> the blue wave is probably coming. Trump has pissed off everybody. everybody, >> even moderate people have seen enough of all the [ __ ] that's gone on and they know that there's a good chance they're going to lose a lot of seats come November and they're trying to do everything in their power, crooked and otherwise to stop that from happening.

[00:27:54]>> Um I now this has been a conversation specifically clearly the neighborhoods being redrawn with the black vote. Um, however, I don't know if and it's just not being talked about enough and I wanted to talk about um the SAVE Act.

[00:28:10]>> So, the Save Act is something that is essentially going to infect women votes.

[00:28:17]Now, let me tell you, um, I'm going to read it so that you can understand it and then I'm going to explain it to you like you're a fifth grader. Um, so the proposed SAVED act is a bill that would require people to show extra documents, proving US citizenship when registering to vote or updating their voter registration. So the bill could accidentally make voting harder for millions of eligible women. And here's how. Many women changed their last name after getting married. Here we go. Let's blame the patriarchy. That's what tradition has been, right?

[00:28:51]>> Patriarchy is So, when you're registering to vote, your birth certificate may still show your original last name, while your driver's license and voter registration will show your married name. Well, under the Save Act, election officials could require documents that exactly match. Hello, your birth certificate. And these things aren't going to match after marriage.

[00:29:15]So, it's going to create kind of issues or obstacles and loopholes that you're going to have to jump through to even get your voter registration. Now, supporters of the bill say that of course this is to prevent nonitizens from voting. Of course.

[00:29:32]>> However, we also do see that even in the last election, specifically not only black women, but women as a whole normally also do lean blue, especially following the reversal of Roie Wade >> and women vote majority like eligible voters.

[00:29:49]>> A lot of women also do care about our rights as women, the autonomy of women.

[00:29:54]And so they're leaning into this saying it's to keep these non-citizens from voting, but essentially it's really going to have a strong impact on a lot of women who are married. And so for those of you who have changed your name or even hyphenated your name, especially if you're in these tricky states where they kind of flip-flop between, you know, blue and red depending on who's running throughout history, I would encourage you to go and make sure that >> you're you're where you need to be come time to vote. So midterms are here, but then of course, you know, in two more years, we have the big one, >> right? And that's the also tricky part right now because I don't know if you see the conversations of what's happening with all of the the these meetings where there are Republican head Supreme Court judges >> pretty much like acting like they don't know whether or not Trump can run for a third term as if it's not constitutional. They are literally looking to weave in through the Constitution and find any loophole to allow this man to be a dictator of this country. and it's getting scary. So ladies, especially ones that are married and have taken on the name of your spouse, please look into what is happening with this Save Act, how you can be sure that your vote counts, and you know, make sure you show up to the polls.

[00:31:17]>> The thing with this whole SAVE act is that, and I'm maybe at the risk of giving them too much credit, like the Republicans pushing this idea know that it's [ __ ] Like the the idea that there are non-citizens voting, like that's not even really a thing. Like they've done studies on this. They've done multiple studies on multiple platforms have done studies on this thing and there's like less than 0000.1% incidents of >> not only non-citizens. Let's be very clear. You know who was very loud during the last election? Felons, >> right?

[00:31:51]>> In support of a felony. They literally and and you know I had the conversation with um Cha Chaotic is that his name?

[00:32:00]>> The one I I I saw back. Yeah. Uh Chaotic like there's also a loud voice of people who don't have voting rights speaking to voting and who to vote for even when they can't vote when they can't vote.

[00:32:13]>> So like >> them leaning into this seeming like it's a non-citizen thing. It's just making it it's just trying to make it easier.

[00:32:22]Any advantage you can get, that's what they want.

[00:32:25]>> The married American woman is upset right now >> and they hold a lot of weight.

[00:32:31]>> Well, just the direction of the country.

[00:32:34]Usually the narrative was that the woman, >> the white woman will vote like her man despite whatever she says on social media or in her circle of friends, right?

[00:32:43]>> They might be pretending to be ally, you know, in terms of how they vote, but when they actually vote, they vote. They don't I think that that's in I think that's in jeopardy. Right.

[00:32:53]>> You bringing that up also. Couples therapy new season.

[00:32:56]>> There's a couple on there with two difference of political views.

[00:32:59]>> Oh [ __ ] That's not going to happen.

[00:33:00]>> No, no, no. It's really interesting because >> who's a Democrat? Who's a liberal?

[00:33:04]>> So So the woman the woman is not so crazy, you know, she they're both white.

[00:33:09]So, it's really interesting because even you see the dynamic where um the the therapist asks, "So, can you guys both explain what each other cares about?"

[00:33:20]Because of course, when when you're politically politically leaning, there's a reason. And it's so funny cuz the way they both explained each other was like, "Oh, this is where we're at." So, >> uh the therapist was like, "What does she care about?" And he was like, "You know, uh women's rights and the gays and the LGBTQIA community." and like I care about them too, but like she really cares about them. And then the therapist is like and what does he care about?

[00:33:45]>> Taxes and money. And it was like oh wow.

[00:33:49]And these are the conversations literally pulling us apart and making us vote differently in the polls. And so like read up on what's impacting and that's another thing the whether they're local on a federal level when you get into voting really look at what these people want to do.

[00:34:05]>> Yeah.

[00:34:05]>> Look at their policies that they're trying to push. Look at their agendas.

[00:34:08]Really see how they align with you. Even if >> y >> you can see someone in red and their policies align. Like vote with who aligns with your policies. Let's stop being so color focused. But we have to sit here and lean on policy. And baby, if you believe in women's rights, them Republicans don't really care about what we do with our bodies and how we have autonomy for ourselves.

[00:34:32]>> Well, that's part of the thing, too.

[00:34:33]Like that example of the couples therapy thing. I think that is where we're at.

[00:34:37]And I think distilled down to a even lower level than like women's rights, LGBTQ, and taxes is the idea of who do you care about actually? Do you care about empire or do you care about people?

[00:34:51]>> If you care about empire, then yeah, taxes, uh, corporations, even people who aren't in the tax bracket that would be affected are acting as if they care about that and if it affects them. Like I have a homie, a former homie who was kind of acting like that around the time that you make $65,000. You talking about tax brackets is crazy.

[00:35:13]>> Even if you make $250,000 a year, the tax bracket Mandami in New York, he's talking about taxing like the 1% 1% like [ __ ] that make $200 million a year and [ __ ] who make $200,000 a year are acting like that's them. Like no [ __ ] that's not you. Them [ __ ] [ __ ] would kill themselves if they had your bank account. LIKE WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THAT'S NOT YOUR FIGHT. But you're fighting this on their behalf. So it's like do you care about people? Do you care about maintaining this American status quo of the empire and like that is really what it speaks to where people are at right now. And if you care about the empire, people who care about people are looking at you crazy.

[00:35:51]>> Now we're bringing up money. Uh there's a clip um of Trump that I want us to play. um if you could play that and then we'll get into the CEO because I think when we talk about people caring about people, it's do people have the money to um afford, you know, uh a roof over their head and food in their mouths. Um >> is this Yes. if you could uh play this clip.

[00:36:19]>> Democrats and political pundits >> and political pundits uh jumped all over this statement that you made the other day, you were asked on the when you were leaving, >> what extent are American financial situations motivating you to make a deal?

[00:36:38]>> Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon.

[00:36:44]I don't think about American financial situation. I don't think about anybody.

[00:36:49]I think about one thing. You cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That's all.

[00:36:54]>> That's right. That's a perfect sentence.

[00:36:55]Make it again.

[00:36:56]>> But you can imagine how many people stop the sound bite at >> I don't think about America's financial situation. So what's your response to that framework?

[00:37:06]>> It's very simple. When people hear me say it, everybody agrees. Short-term pain. It's going to be short-term pain, but the pain is much less than people thought. You can imagine Democrats and >> I got a question. Yes. The way you were looking through them glasses.

[00:37:24]>> No, I just got a what I love about And don't clip me up. That's our stars. What I love about >> our stars.

[00:37:31]>> I know.

[00:37:33]Nah, look. This guy stands on whatever he stands on all the time for the last 8 to 10 years.

[00:37:40]>> I think we get in this psychosis of thinking that he's going to say something opposed to how how he's been talking down to us the whole time.

[00:37:50]That's one. Two, this Iran conversation, Iran, sorry.

[00:37:54]>> Yes.

[00:37:55]>> I think when the war started, they said, "Hey, the American people, we don't have the ballistics. None of the [ __ ] that we got going on could reach the American soil, >> right?

[00:38:06]>> As Ben said.

[00:38:07]>> Yeah.

[00:38:07]>> Which is why they were dropping all in the in the places that they're that they're missiles >> they can get to that they can get to.

[00:38:15]>> Yes.

[00:38:17]>> There's probably three other countries that I could think of off the top of my head that maybe can do that, right?

[00:38:21]>> Yeah. It's not a lot. Not that I'm encouraging. Of course.

[00:38:25]>> Absolutely not. But >> this is the okey do, bro. big okie do >> to say you don't care about American people >> the American people now digest that >> and come November >> get to it right >> get what you get >> but I'm afraid I'm afraid but I'm af that's my my fear is that people ignoring this type of [ __ ] >> and they're going to continue to ignore it and they're going to go to the poll we saw that happen in terms of >> they did it in in in the in some of the primaries they didn't go how we thought they should have went >> that just happened. Not the the the the the locals in in Kentucky and um a couple other states. I'm >> even in Georgia, bro. The the uh the Supreme Court um picks. It's like, >> you know, removing the designation the Democrat or Republic from the nominees >> and people were just voting for the incumbent.

[00:39:16]>> It it confused a lot of people. I saw a lot of people who were complaining on threads about how confusing the ballot was. people taking pieces of paper into the booth to write down. So that means we have to do better and more of informing the people because we don't have the time afforded. Remember how we talked about early on about the the the the sibling or the parent or whatever who you might have issues with. We got issues and we here to fix it. Otherwise after November, we might not be able to fix [ __ ] >> Yeah. But also, if you don't understand policy, right, if you don't understand what these bills and acts and and laws are and how they will impact you, >> this is your president saying he's not even concerned about your financial a ignorant, even if you don't understand uh policy and law and all the jargon that is involved in that because it's a lot, >> right?

[00:40:11]>> You understand? You don't understand when a [ __ ] say, "I don't give a [ __ ] about you."

[00:40:14]>> I don't give a [ __ ] about you.

[00:40:15]>> That's all y'all paid for them videos where he used Aubryy's uh songs and and Iceman [ __ ] though.

[00:40:22]>> Mind you, Mind you, let's also let's also do the Let's also talk about how he's like it's going to be very short term.

[00:40:29]>> What's your term?

[00:40:30]>> Shortterm. But you ready? You ready? I grew up in a in a household that >> we were always one emergency away from being completely behind. And that's a majority of the American people of the American people. You are in a place where I'm I'm seeing people say >> that they're not going out anymore because gas prices are so high. You have people like literally someone on on Twitter took a receipt, found a receipt from 2006 items. It was like $16260.

[00:41:00]We all have the same algorithm. Oh, no.

[00:41:02]But and and and they were like they looked at what prices of eggs, chicken, all the things. They were like, "Wait, you were able to get all these groceries for this much money? If this would be real, this would be $300 today."

[00:41:14]>> And mind you, that time [ __ ] were still clipping coupons then. Then >> so imagine that.

[00:41:21]>> It's crazy, bro.

[00:41:22]>> And so for for any and clearly he's wealthy. Clearly we know the wealthy people do not care about anyone underneath. It's crazy because I literally just had to have this conversation with a friend of mine who is well off.

[00:41:37]>> Mhm. boyfriend number two.

[00:41:39]>> Boyfriend number two, very well off. And I was like, yo, who do you >> who do you get to complain about the price of life to right now >> because >> cuz you got it.

[00:41:49]>> And everyone assumes I got it. AND I'M LIKE, GOD DAMN, THIS IS EXPENSIVE. I AIN'T GOING TO HOLD YOU. I I I I cooked this week. I did.

[00:41:58]>> Domesticated, man.

[00:41:59]>> I've been No, no, no, no. I've been I've been I've been cooking. I got my Tupperware.

[00:42:05]Meal prep, Mandy. Meal friend Mandy.

[00:42:07]Meal friend.

[00:42:10]I'm about to go. I'm about to GO OVER TO SPROUTS. They said they got a whole little meal. You get family of four for $30. LIKE I'M ABOUT TO DO THAT. But like I was like life is like expensive. It's when you go out. It's when you drive.

[00:42:22]It's when you like >> [ __ ] you can't take a [ __ ] without you know how much toilet paper is >> septic tank toilet paper. You can't just buy regular ass [ __ ] cuz then you going to cause no problem. High trash bags is crazy.

[00:42:35]>> It's high. And so I'm just like the fact that our president who has a way to first off y'all see where we at. Where the stemmies at? Where the stem's at?

[00:42:45]This the [ __ ] THAT Y'ALL WAS LIKE HE GAVE US $200.

[00:42:48]>> He gave us money though. Where the money at?

[00:42:51]>> I hate that narrative even took hold.

[00:42:54]>> I hate it.

[00:42:54]>> But the thing that that's crazy about this this particular Trump comment is that that's what they always try to sell us on. anytime they want to do external [ __ ] >> they say, "Oh, short-term pain. Short term." Like, first off, to your point, people can't afford shortterm pain.

[00:43:11]People can't afford no extra pain.

[00:43:12]Everything already hurts right now in pain.

[00:43:15]>> Yeah. [ __ ] is in traction with their arms up in the air. You talking about a little pain.

[00:43:20]>> Financial pain, >> right? Yes. Damn Skippy. We do. So, the idea that short-term pain is just nothing. Like, no. We got financial aid.

[00:43:27]>> It can it can put you out on the street.

[00:43:30]>> Yeah. Most people if they had a $10,000 emergency right now it's gone they ran through that. No, they ran through it already.

[00:43:36]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:43:37]>> I mean I say that too though like when I got ready to quit my my career. One of the things that I was like before I leave let me have a savings account.

[00:43:48]>> I grew up no one in my family has a savings. Yeah.

[00:43:51]>> Like even I was having that conversation even with my mom and my sister last week. I was like >> what what what does your account look like? like what number has to be in your account to >> to make you feel like you're okay?

[00:44:04]>> And it's not a lot for people. As long as there's a comma, they're like, "Oo, I could breathe." But that's $1,000 for some. It could be 2,000 for some. But then your bills are that every month. So like you're you can't miss one check.

[00:44:17]>> Yeah. No, it's that that will [ __ ] you up. There's a viral video going around right now. I don't know if y'all saw this. It's of a group of white people and they are finding out who's the richest in the room.

[00:44:28]>> Oh.

[00:44:29]>> And they're casting their bank apps to the TV.

[00:44:33]>> Cannot relate. Um they're casting their bank apps to the TV screen and they're seeing who has the most savings in the room. It's like a group of like six or seven white people.

[00:44:43]>> Oh wow. What's the age range?

[00:44:45]>> They look like they're in their mid30s.

[00:44:48]Maybe maybe some of them in their early 40s, but they look like they're anywhere from like maybe late 20s to maybe in their early 40s or whatever. And like they're like, "Oh, Katherine, she has, you know, $9,500 in savings. Oh, Bill has $10,000 in savings." The richest person in the room with savings account had $44,000.

[00:45:06]>> Wow.

[00:45:07]>> So, it's like 44,000.

[00:45:08]>> That's someone's salary.

[00:45:09]>> That's what I'm trying to say. Like, you can chip away at $44,000 real quick.

[00:45:14]>> But did you see the other video that's been going viral? So, there's a guy in the mall who asks the same thing.

[00:45:20]>> How much is in your checking account right now?

[00:45:22]>> And the people in the mall, all different races, colors, ages, >> negative $16, $24. Uh, one person had $900 and something dollars. But just at the mall asking people and there were so many people with less than $1,000 in their account, less than $100. There was a few people with less than 100 and one person had a negative balance. Why he was in the mall, I don't know.

[00:45:46]Yeah. Yeah. You got to go somewhere else. You need to go to the park or go >> there for that pocket watch.

[00:45:50]>> Yeah. That's what it was. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:45:52]Yeah. Yeah. This must have been like we're hurting out here.

[00:45:55]>> There's people with good six figure jobs who are just paying their rent, paying their bills, and getting by.

[00:46:01]>> Now, real quick, speaking of jobs, I do want to get into this Isaiah Martin clip if we can. Um >> because this this this says a lot of where we are uh in this country right now. So, Yomi, if you can play this for us. Poor Mr. Jubilee. for >> Mr. Who is he talking?

[00:46:18]>> He is talking to Abby as a question for sure. I don't know the CEO.

[00:46:22]>> It's okay. We can talk to each other here.

[00:46:23]>> Do you think that it's insane to say that Starbucks should wage should raise their wages for their workers? Is that insane to say as a concept?

[00:46:31]>> I think that I believe in free markets and if a private company sets their wages what they are, then that's what they are. And if you don't like the wage, if you don't like the wage, don't go work there. I've applied for hundreds of jobs where they didn't meet my minimum I wanted to make and I didn't go work there. We understand that when Trump was running for president, he said that he was going to w raise the wages all these workers all across America.

[00:46:52]The real wage growth is 80% less than what it was. So that's the real facts.

[00:46:56]So if you make a campaign promise that you're going to raise wages for workers all across this country and you do not deliver on that, then who does that fall on?

[00:47:03]>> Well, I don't think the president's point was he was going to go tell private enterprise you have to pay people.

[00:47:07]>> He said he was going to create the economic conditions to do so. Has he done that?

[00:47:10]>> That doesn't mean that he was going to go invade businesses boardrooms and say you have to pay your employees. create the economic conditions to go and do business. You can spend this on the president of the United States is not going to he didn't make a promise to go and invade boardrooms and tell companies, private companies how much they should pay their think mothers like mine and others at this table do what they have to do to to to go and provide for their families. Uh and my father also for the record worked several jobs as well. But he looks like a good >> My point that I'm making is I would complain that my CEO is making all this money. If I had an issue with that, I would go start something. I would go create something. I would go create means for me to go and make more money if that's what I wanted to do. We live in a country where that is available. We live in a country where people don't live in a country that where that's available.

[00:47:58]>> Here here's the idea that we should just continue business as normal. It's just simply not working. We know that we had 1.1 million layoffs just last year alone. That's the highest number since when Trump was last president in 2020.

[00:48:09]And then even before that, the biggest number since the great recession. So at the reality that we stand today, I think instead of spending $400 million on a Qatari plane and all these other things that Trump is spending money on, let's put money towards universal childcare so that someone like your mom does not have to go and work two and three jobs to go and provide for her children. My mom's a hardwork.

[00:48:28]Well, she shouldn't have to do that. You know what? Maybe you think >> um by the way for those of you not watching the video on YouTube, >> this is a black man, by the way.

[00:48:38]>> Yeah. Talking like that.

[00:48:39]>> These are this is a conversation amongst black people. Um and >> I get what he's saying, but the problem is is >> yeah, we want everybody to get up, you know, get out and get something, but where's the something?

[00:48:52]>> But that's the thing, too.

[00:48:53]>> There's no something. Everybody look at everybody trying to get to it. It's not like the lack of not doing it. We're doing it. But this idea that okay, I don't like what wages I'm seeing at these certain jobs that are hiring.

[00:49:08]Let me just go create this wealth for myself. The idea that yes, we live in a country where um you can be an entrepreneur. But the idea that >> most people can just go and start a business, that's the thing. Do you know what it takes to start a business?

[00:49:21]>> YEAH. THAT COST MONEY you don't have.

[00:49:23]>> Cost money that you don't have. has a loan that you might not qualify for 3 to 5 years.

[00:49:28]>> It's a credit card that you might not have.

[00:49:30]>> You're going to be you're going to be be in a red for 3 to 5 years.

[00:49:33]>> It has an APR of 38%.

[00:49:35]>> I mean, and when we talk about the investment, I would love for you guys uh if you're not on Patreon to go listen to the last class assembly. I may actually post it here at least a portion of the conversation because it was really interesting to also know that we as millennials, right, 30, 40 year olds, we we got into the system of being fed the the the the red Kool-Aid of well, you need this degree to also get a good paying job. And what we're seeing right now is a lot of us are stuck in debt. A lot of people are not using their degrees because they're either outdated or >> you're now overqualified for certain positions that you can't get or >> all day.

[00:50:17]>> The jobs that are really um paying are now saying, "Well, your degree kind of doesn't matter. It's skill. It's previous experience. It's all of these things to where what the [ __ ] are we doing?" And then unfortunately um Cisco laid off 16,000 people. We saw Spirit Airlines 17,000 people. Meta 18,000 people. Yep. We are also in a workforce where tens of thousands of people >> are looking for work and there's just no jobs. And then unfortunately, what are we talking about? Former managers of of seuite or seauite level positions now having to go and work at the mall, at fast food, at like below their pay grade because there's just no jobs out here.

[00:50:59]>> You know what?

[00:51:01]I think we were wrong >> about Uh oh.

[00:51:04]>> I think Dr. Cheyenne Bryan was right.

[00:51:06]>> Yo, shut the [ __ ] up. Shut the [ __ ] up.

[00:51:08]>> She She created a pathway to get out of this [ __ ] We over here judging her and critiquing her, right? But she ain't hollering, hooping, and hollering at the [ __ ] pump.

[00:51:18]>> She is living. Okay.

[00:51:20]>> So, we need more scams. I didn't say and maybe that's not a scam. Maybe that's just the American way. The American way though should not be to pretend to be a credentialed professional to scam the American people who work hard for their money.

[00:51:38]>> And that's even worse.

[00:51:39]>> Talk to them white folks. And and to me though, that's even worse. Oh, and I I love that you said that because the conversation has been like why we And when I say we, it's black women attacking another black woman. But while we're talking about what type of economy we exist in, the idea that we would continue to platform a person who is literally taking advantage of our community, taking advantage of hardworking black and brown women because that's also who's going to pay for her services. She is taking advantage of those people that work hard for their money because she's positioned herself as someone who could help the community when in fact she's only lining her pockets. She's only uh able to exist in the world of fame and enter these rooms and hang with these celebrities.

[00:52:26]But the actual reality is she's kind of no different than Trump. She don't give a [ __ ] about your financial standing.

[00:52:33]She doesn't give a [ __ ] about what lines her pockets as long as they keep lining.

[00:52:38]Cuz sorry Cheyenne Bryant, I saw your pool in your backyard looks beautiful.

[00:52:43]The cabana, the people working for you.

[00:52:45]It looks great that you're able to live the life that you're able to live. But I hate that it's at the detriment of [ __ ] black women. And so when we talk about black women critiquing another black woman, what sucks is when we talk about this economy, when we see other people say, "Just get more jobs. Stop complaining. Stop crying. get up off your ass.

[00:53:03]>> If if we're gonna sit here and and critique these other people that have stuff to say about how we should be living, if we're critiquing Trump as our president, if we're telling people to get that get out there and vote, we should be able to critique someone who is taking advantage of our community.

[00:53:19]And that's what she's doing. Sorry, Ace.

[00:53:21]I don't know if you could sit us on stage next to each other for tonight's conversations anymore. But to me, as someone who has met her, as someone who has heard her talk against what she be preaching to the masses >> behind the scenes, I actually feel infuriated that now the narrative is that black women are jealous of her.

[00:53:39]That black women are just haters. That black women are just tearing down another black woman when in fact she's sitting here infiltrating herself into our community and lining her pockets with the [ __ ] she's doing. And I just don't like it.

[00:53:52]>> So, >> clip that up. Damn, [ __ ] [ __ ] you, [ __ ] >> It's the alarming economy. Pusso.

[00:54:01]>> Pusso.

[00:54:03]>> So, um, one of the worst the one of the worst parts about what it is that we're talking about is that like >> the conservative white people >> vote for this [ __ ] >> and some of them are just as affected by all of this [ __ ] as everybody else.

[00:54:18]Like, it's obviously going to do damage to black and brown people, but it's doing white people dirty, too. and they keep voting against their own interest.

[00:54:25]So, my homie sent me this clip the other day of this guy who attended a I guess this is like a business conference.

[00:54:32]Grant Grant Cardone is like an investor, multi-million dollar investor. And so, this clip is is going viral. It used to be like a maybe like a half of this and I guess now this is like the full clip now that has come out. And I just want you to listen to what this guy says to this room full of people. And the advice that he gets from this multi-billionaire is like exactly the problem of what we're talking about right here.

[00:54:57]>> Wow.

[00:54:57]>> I'm a small fish in a big pond. I have a mindset question. Um, so I took out two loans to get here today. I don't even have money for a hotel. Slept.

[00:55:06]>> Give him a big hand, guys. Homeless dude.

[00:55:11]>> He's he's a wild boy. But >> yes, I slept in my car the past two nights, but I just wanted to show up. So my question is um how do you 10x your mindset to like break through that fear of just like getting to the next point?

[00:55:23]>> You know the thing you need to start doing is collecting money. Yeah. So you your mind's not your problem, bro. Like you're sleeping in a car. 99% of the people in this room, probably no one else in the room is willing to do that, including myself. You need to pick up a check.

[00:55:39]Like I would tell you before today is over, you should get somebody to give you 500 bucks.

[00:55:44]>> It's the music.

[00:55:46]a job to do a target.

[00:55:48]>> Brainwashing simply a target. I need 500 bucks. It starts with the first 500 or 100 or 50, whatever the number is that you need to be like, I need to get somebody to give me something. And there we go.

[00:56:03]>> That worked. So, somebody asked what do what do I do?

[00:56:07]>> Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Bro, you're not talking.

[00:56:11]>> Wait. What is Is this a skin? You got to be You got to be >> Wait, look.

[00:56:17]>> I've been a plain conferences. I know. I could never give. They like, "All right, [ __ ] You got an internship."

[00:56:23]>> So, this is God's plan.

[00:56:26]>> Yeah. This is God's plan. So, >> they're giving him bum bell.

[00:56:30]>> They're literally giving him bum bail.

[00:56:32]Why? But they're giving they're they're literally giving handouts to this white man >> because >> while they would tell us that we're begging for handouts, that we're worthless, that we're begging the government to fix our problems, and whoopde whoopy whoop, this is a multi-billionaire person who manages billions of dollars worth of money. And the first thing he tells him, "Oh, you just need somebody to give you some bread. Oh, you need to just go get a check." What kind of advice is that? A B your advice to him is just get people to give you money.

[00:57:03]Not me. Not the not the person who could actually probably help you. These other people >> these other people.

[00:57:08]>> Well, he never got a chance to because they just gave me money. We never seem to ask >> in front of a room of people. He said, "Not only are you, oh, you're homeless, but you're willing to sleep in the car, which I and I'm sure no one would ever do that, but yeah, just go out there and beg >> and beg and just tell someone to give you something." But you're right. I want to see who he was going to go to first.

[00:57:29]I would have went right there. I walk right up to him like, "Yeah."

[00:57:32]>> When a black person does it, >> or when a black person is struggling because of unfortunately the circumstances that we are put into because of years, >> you're a welfare queen.

[00:57:42]>> You're a bum. You're a leech on society.

[00:57:45]You you you need to go get a job. You need to work harder. You're not you're not ambitious.

[00:57:49]>> You got the same 24 hours.

[00:57:50]>> We got the same 24 hours. Bro, if I can do it, why don't you go do it? But even what else I saw when I was watching this? Well, this reminded me heavily of um >> when I watched the manosphere doc.

[00:58:02]>> Oh, it reminded me of a lot of a man just lost, broke, doesn't have his money. So, he's looking to just a man to look up to instead of just [ __ ] go get a job.

[00:58:14]>> Like, and that's what I saw on the manosphere doc. These guys were saying they ain't got no money. They just worked out on the beach all day and they were just trying to get >> goodlooking enough and hopefully get enough money to bag a to bag a woman like but they looked up to the gains.

[00:58:27]They looked up to these red pill pod [ __ ] >> as gods.

[00:58:33]>> You want to do it?

[00:58:34]>> What? What are we doing? Keep going.

[00:58:35]What are we doing? What? What? What?

[00:58:37]>> No, they do. They But as an economy, this people that's funding that type of [ __ ] >> Yeah.

[00:58:41]>> You see uh I think I think they had a manosphere conference. I don't know if it's called manosphere, but it was with the general name. I don't want to say that's what it sounds that's what it sounds like >> and it was only maybe a hundred people maybe but maybe less. But if you look at the the the the character of man that was in that that crowd, bro, it was like, yo, these are all insecure [ __ ] who would see you in the street and talk all kind of crazy wild [ __ ] to you with the expectation that you going to give him a little whatever whatever a little bit of puss.

[00:59:08]>> Yeah. Cra, but this is >> Oh, talking to your mom.

[00:59:11]>> Yeah, my bad.

[00:59:14]>> But no, that's that this is >> we got a lot of fights. a lot of internal, spiritual, financial, >> um, moral, >> and I don't know how we get out of this [ __ ] >> I'm I'm not going to lie. I This is what I've been saying.

[00:59:29]>> Y'all know I love Antinette and she believes we will see world peace in our day. only there's alignment only when there's alignment as long as we see things like this and like I said the nature boy and and as long as we still have people willing to ride and die as a proud boy and a maga for someone to be a leader such as Trump we there's no way we see it because unfortunately we are a lot of people and yes I'm an individualist too so I'm not going to like be a hypocrite here but there's a lot of people that only serve self-interest >> and there's a lot of people that don't care about others >> there's no sense of And then we still have the lines of and let's be very clear the lines of racism. We are in a war right now where white people are scared they are going to lose their their spot in the world supremacist and nobody's threatening but they feel like they are threatened right now. They feel threatened >> and and the perspective is [ __ ] if you think that you're [ __ ] HOW YOU [ __ ] YOU THINK WE'RE godamn >> like everything and you think you're [ __ ] So like what does that say for everybody else that you try to put under your thumb for a thousand years?

[01:00:38]>> Boom.

[01:00:39]>> Like >> these [ __ ] is crazy, man.

[01:00:42]>> What I would implore us to do though as people that of melanin, >> look at look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself this question.

[01:00:50]>> If you existed back in the days with Harry with Harriet Tubman, would she have shot you?

[01:00:56]>> Wait, you know what? I think you were going to get that.

[01:00:58]>> No, you know, I thought you were going to go so much deeper.

[01:01:01]>> N listen, I look at yourself in the mirror like, "Damn, am I a [ __ ] that she would have shot?"

[01:01:06]>> Ask yourself, cuz that's the only way I think when you >> hear that.

[01:01:11]>> I know. So, see, BUT WAIT, DID Y'ALL NOT THINK HE WAS GOING TO ACTUALLY TURN AROUND LIKE, "OH, this nigga's about to >> cook." But >> yeah. No. Look yourself in the mirror and say, "Damn, am I the [ __ ] that she would have shot?"

[01:01:27]>> Wait, she was shooting [ __ ] >> Don't leave me hanging.

[01:01:29]>> They said that. You know how they have the Oh, my bad, bro. My bad. My bad. My bad. My bad. Nah, no. You know how >> she was shooting black people?

[01:01:37]>> Well, they said that, you know, if if when she tried to free [ __ ] if if they weren't he was on with the program, she might, you know, I mean, so think about put yourself in in that environment would have shot your ass. Listen, y'all know Yomi not American, but she looking THIS UP FOR US.

[01:01:53]>> She's like, "Wait, >> look, Harry Tubman never shot or killed any of the people she led on the Underground Railroad."

[01:01:59]>> However, however, HOWEVER, READ ON.

[01:02:05]>> HOWEVER, she carried a missile for protection and to maintain STRICT DISCIPLINE.

[01:02:11]>> NOT NOT SO THAT that identified not just the oppressor, but the [ __ ] she knew [ __ ] was weak. Somebody in line is going to be acting up.

[01:02:18]>> Stay on my [ __ ] [ __ ] We going to freedom. You I could name 20 [ __ ] right now that got blasted as soon as she probably had to.

[01:02:25]>> It does say too, hold on. In in terms of the Underground Railroad discipline on rare occasions, when a fugitive got cold feet or threatened to return back TO THE PLANTATION, SHE WOULD POINT THE GUN AT them and threaten to shoot them, famously telling them, "Go on or die."

[01:02:41]>> See, she ran a strict program. Ask yourself, would she have told you to go on and die?

[01:02:47]>> Go on or die. Because I'm saying she said you either go kill you >> going die.

[01:02:54]>> Yeah. Like [ __ ] don't you can't you n >> Yeah.

[01:02:58]>> WHY YOU MAKING HER DRAW LIKE THAT?

[01:03:02]>> New York parti parti. I'M PART SOUTHERN part partially.

[01:03:33]>> Hey man, listen.

They got to go cuz then you going to go to Cuz once you go back to the plantation, you know what they going to do? Yo, you know they on that trail, right? You know, and then you know Henry, they going to go on and die your ass and then you just >> Yeah, cuz he going he going to ask not to stay in the hole too long cuz you know he going in the hole when he go back to the plantation.

[01:08:50]>> No, no, no. But the way you talk about Drake is Carrie. I talk about Nikki. I don't care if that [ __ ] want to sit next to me and talk. I'm not going to talk.

[01:08:57]>> You a little loony. You a little cuckoo.

[01:08:59]And I ain't got nothing for you. Okay.

[01:09:01]Um, now before we get into D1 on this song of the summer, guys, the lyrics that he is talking about, it says, "Where all my scamming ass [ __ ] at?

[01:09:10]Spending that money fast. 20s, 50s, hundreds cash. Boy, go in that goyard bag. Boosting [ __ ] Where y'all at?

[01:09:18]Stuffing that [ __ ] in your bag just to flip it. Pop some tags. Girl, go in that goyard bag. Hello.

[01:09:26]>> I would offer the reason why everything about that.

[01:09:29]>> She's just highlighting how to get out of this economy situation we're in.

[01:09:32]That's all financial advice. She's like, you know, financial advice. I love it.

[01:09:36]>> Let's hear what D1 has to say about the record.

[01:09:40]>> Catch it. that's glorifying scamming, shoplifting, and street life. And people who know better in the culture are too afraid to say something cuz they don't want to seem like a hater. Then when white people start jamming to her, we not even offended no more. Watch this.

[01:09:53]We like, "Oh, she lit. Invite her to the barbecue." But she not worried about if her grandkids going to become scammers or shoplifters or caught up in the streets. That's something we got to worry about with our kids cuz of course we make it cool first. Young Miami, I love you, baby, but this making the devil happy. And I know you love God.

[01:10:11]That wasn't bad. I didn't I'm not mad at that message. I'm not mad at the message.

[01:10:14]>> Okay.

[01:10:15]>> I'm not mad at the message.

[01:10:16]>> I need I need first off and I got in the comments. Um and what? Hold on. Go up to the top cuz he responded too.

[01:10:24]>> I said, "Oh my god, D. Yo, let us have something. The world is ending." Um he said and shots.

[01:10:32]Okay. Yeah, you're right. Maybe I'm tripping.

[01:10:36]>> I know.

[01:10:37]Shout out to D1. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. That sound like T1.

[01:10:43]>> One more. I need you to read D1's response one more.

[01:10:46]>> You know I can't do it. Do it again. Do it again. Do it twice. Do it again. Do it again.

[01:10:53]Yo, >> hold on. Rejo.

[01:10:56]>> Okay. Oh my god. D. Yo, let us have something. The world is ending, man.

[01:11:02]Mandy, we have scamming and shoplifting and sliding on our ops. Okay. Yeah, you're right. Maybe I'm tripping.

[01:11:11]Sarcastic, sarcastic, sarcastic.

[01:11:13]>> D1, we we love you, man. Um, >> so, but here's what I'll say about that specific uh response, right?

[01:11:19]>> Talk to me.

[01:11:20]>> Okay. Yes. Sliding on the ops, the murder thing is that you probably shouldn't murder people. That's not But >> none of this in here talked about murderers or killers, >> right? The shoplifters. So, here's what I'll say. As far as scamming and shoplifting goes, like chances are if you scamming, you're scamming the empire.

[01:11:38]>> No, no, no, no. Not Cheyenne Bryant.

[01:11:40]>> Well, I mean, well, she's scamming people. But if you're if you're scamming like PPP loans, if you're scamming like uh you're you're finding a way to j uh some of these corporations to get some money out of them, I don't care if you're shoplifting from Target or Walmart or one of these other empire. I don't give a [ __ ] Take all of that [ __ ] Why would I care if you're stealing from Don't get arrested, but why would I care if you're stealing from the empire? Steal everything from the empire that you can, >> right? But when you get caught, that's when >> Well, you got to pay the price. That's what it is, >> right? But you don't want to pay the price.

[01:12:14]>> Consequences when you do anything, right? Do you want to go back? Uh, yummy saw a comment from a Latina woman.

[01:12:21]>> She go down a rabbit hole. You forgot you wasn't on your phone.

[01:12:25]You ain't low.

[01:12:28]>> Be like, WE LIKE, "LOOK, WE RIGHT HERE, but you're not supposed to do that over there."

[01:12:32]>> No, we can see you. She like, "Where that? Who that over there?"

[01:12:39]>> She embing that joint, too. She was like, "Yeah, no, hold on. Let me see."

[01:12:42]>> Oh, never mind. I agree with her. Now, [ __ ] y'all. I was just making it big for y'all.

[01:12:46]>> Uh-huh. Thank you.

[01:12:48]>> Um, but but uh someone in the comments actually said, >> "Mad loud."

[01:12:52]>> Real loud.

[01:12:53]>> I'm a Latina woman who worked in in in the club for 20 years until Jesus called Jesus called me by my name. out in the night life music indust but but think but what is she we don't know what she is she >> she's like she definitely Puerto Rican >> it's much deeper than most people realize >> why you sound Indian now >> doingo dual lingo >> now she it's 100% spiritual it kept me in cycles and mindsets that were ungodly >> this is how she say coming from a Latina woman in the club >> in the club >> in the club >> the night life >> in the club >> she said was ungodly and I was reaping the poisonous fruit from those seeds. I was I was meditating and you know what I mean? I guess there's layers to this [ __ ] right? Young Miami, she's speaking from the culture that she comes from Miami. The Miami culture, the lifestyle culture. This is for the lifestyle people.

[01:13:44]>> Now, I get it. Kids are impressionable as [ __ ] Especially these kids. Social media makes the world way smaller.

[01:13:49]>> That one that that that was solid. That was the one I saw.

[01:13:52]>> Literally, why was in jail? When I saw that one, I was like, "Hey man, she she did do time for it. going to come out with a with a record with D1 then?

[01:14:00]>> No, never. Um, here's the thing, right?

[01:14:04]>> Here's the thing.

[01:14:04]>> D1 won no parts.

[01:14:06]>> Here's here's the thing.

[01:14:07]>> He wasn't >> the way that D1 is sitting here saying this is no different than first off the blame on hip hop for all of the demise of our culture, which is I don't think you could sit here and just put that one thing to blame. But also we also in terms of killing and and and all the things that are violent, we've seen them put blame on video games when at the end of the day as parents, as a community, as teachers, as peers, we should just be educating our community on what's right and what's wrong. To me, when it comes to entertainment, when it comes to movies, the movie you were just referencing earlier, when we watch like these these uh action movies with all these guns and all the like, let's be clear, entertainment is just that a lot of times. And there has to be a level of discernment on what influences you to be this way or not. And to me, to sit here and be like, Karisha, baby, the devil is doing all this and you can't be putting this into our community. It's poisoning our minds. It's just like what if we like like let's be responsible here and realize that there's ways that you go to school, you go to church, you educate yourself, you have conversations. We not sitting here blaming Karisha for making [ __ ] scammers and and and and shoplifterss. And by the way, it's really hard. It's really hard. I tried to scam one time. I really tried to scam y'all know back in the day the iPhone thing. I tried to scam one time. It's not easy. It's it like your your heart beats fast and you do get caught. You do No, the feds is coming to my door.

[01:15:41]>> Listen, I told you I tried to sell Mer one time. I tried to do the iPhone scam.

[01:15:44]Scamming is very hard. Shoplifting is also very hard.

[01:15:48]>> Stressful.

[01:15:48]>> It's stressful. Raise your blood pressure.

[01:15:50]>> So, at the end of the day, we do also know that >> everything done in the dark will come to the light. So, if people are out there talking about that, it is what it is.

[01:15:58]This is also just entertainment. And baby, sonically, this is beautiful. This is what we needed for the summertime. We a like last year, remember the conversation? They got they better go vote, >> baby. Last year, last year the song of the summer was folded. Let us now, you know, come back with I got that money.

[01:16:17]I love it.

[01:16:18]>> You said Keani was giving a little too domestic, little too much fun.

[01:16:21]>> We were just kicking [ __ ] out now. We just want them to spin that [ __ ] Spin that [ __ ] >> We just talked We just did a whole segment about not being able to spend anything. There's nothing to What are we spending with this? water and milk for >> Well, that's why she asked for the scammers and the shop.

[01:16:35]>> That's why but that's why this cameras and shoplers do because the 9 to5ers ain't got nothing to spend.

[01:16:40]>> YEAH. SHE DIDN'T SAY where my baristas and my fried [ __ ] at. She didn't say where my Burger Kings and Wendy's at.

[01:16:47]She said >> those people would start to start to think >> they get ideas. They like >> where my target workers.

[01:16:52]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like that wasn't that wasn't the thing. But here, as far as D1 go, like I respect the fact that D1 wants to to be a positive influence and wants to kind of push people the other way. But I agree with you. I always been on the time where it's like, okay, yeah, you can you can point to all these things to say that like this is influencing the culture, right? Cuz you're right, kids are impressionable.

[01:17:14]We all been a young age and been influenced >> by something that we've seen. But like most grown adults aren't making these decisions because of songs. They're making these decisions because they want to do crime, because they want to get over the easy way or whatever the thing is. But like the music is just going to be the music. The movies are just going to be the movies. It kind of just is what it is. So what is the like everything has to be Christlike.

[01:17:38]Everything is positive. Everything there's no nothing we remove and that we see what's happening in the church.

[01:17:44]>> Malcolm X uh before he was Malcolm, he was Little Red, right? Detroit Red.

[01:17:49]>> Detroit Red. He was scamming and doing all >> And I heard he was I I ain't going to do it.

[01:17:54]>> And then >> I did hear he was selling that dick, too.

[01:17:57]>> Whatever. Meaning he had a past life. He couldn't do those things as Malcolm X cuz he saw a better a better version of him.

[01:18:04]>> Yeah.

[01:18:05]>> And that version of him is what he tried to enlighten the people, >> right? I don't see a a marriage between that type of messaging and that lifestyle and then also wanting to do better, you know, as a community.

[01:18:18]>> Like, we got to pick a side too at some point as far as what direction we going to go.

[01:18:22]>> But but even in the direction of of which way we want to go, can we also just enjoy some music? Can we have something like can we like like mind you, >> you don't listen to jazz?

[01:18:32]>> I'm not you know I we would saw Robert Glasper. I love that music. But also when I go to FCK and I want lemon pepper wings, >> maybe don't go to go to a cigar cigar lounge where you can just hear some blues and R&B and you know >> No, sometimes I want to shoot a [ __ ] in the face when I'm in traffic.

[01:18:51]>> Hello.

[01:18:51]>> Sometimes I want to up the yappa and do 85 miles an hour down the high and feel good about myself. And I never killed nobody. Cold Classic.

[01:18:59]>> Ain't never a Cold Classic. Nook if you butt. Come on. And >> I can't push a [ __ ] in the face no more because God is going to smite me. I'm just trying to be objective.

[01:19:08]>> So is he.

[01:19:09]>> So >> God bless him.

[01:19:11]>> But to me that's too leaning for God bless him.

[01:19:15]>> It's too leaning. It's too leaning. All right.

[01:19:17]>> And if she goes to hell that's her business.

[01:19:20]>> Okay.

[01:19:20]>> You going to go with her?

[01:19:22]>> I'll probably be there.

[01:19:24]>> I DON'T KNOW.

[01:19:24]>> NO, I'm not going to lie.

[01:19:25]>> I can't answer for that, man. That's his That's his call.

[01:19:27]>> I realize with the heat I can't even dress. I hate I'm with you there, TOO.

[01:19:33]LIKE I BE TRYING TO GO OUT and I'm like all the things I want to wear is weather. [ __ ] can't wear that in 90 degree weather. I realize how much like I used to say, "Oh, I'll go to hell cuz I like the beach." But being in hot weather every day is by like bar none.

[01:19:49]It's miserable. It's gross.

[01:19:50]>> The only thing I want the only place I want to be hot at is at the beach.

[01:19:54]>> Like I now see why southern [ __ ] can't dress because you don't care to put [ __ ] on when IT'S HOT.

[01:19:58]>> IT'S HOT 10 MONTHS OUT THE YEAR. I I need my seasons, babe. I need my fly [ __ ] I am miserable trying to find clothes to wear. And then that's the other thing as a woman. You know what?

Like literally Fedra was at dinner and was like, "You lesbian, right?" Like, "Bitch, I got a dress on today." But it's cuz she literally Yeah, she color. Well, well, you have I mean, shut up. You just showed identifiers.

[01:20:52]>> It's hot as [ __ ] outside.

[01:20:53]>> It's very hard.

[01:20:54]>> It can be done though.

[01:20:56]>> Oh, it can be done. Look up. I'm miserable.

[01:21:38]Anyways, last topic.

[01:21:39]>> D1.

[01:21:41]>> Shout out to D1. We got to have him on the show. Um, last conversation.

[01:21:46]>> Oh man, let's get to this.

[01:21:47]>> Rick Ross.

[01:21:49]>> Ros, >> are we listening to the whole thing or this is just part of it?

[01:21:51]>> This is just part of it >> cuz this [ __ ] is hilarious.

[01:21:53]>> Rick Ross says that Drake is not on his level and claims that his recent albums were horrendous and his homies are recovering from trauma after listening to them.

[01:22:05]>> And he was on I think this a right a rightwing platform too. Uh, it's PBD podcast.

[01:22:13]>> What is that?

[01:22:14]>> It's a It's a right-wing uh platform.

[01:22:16]>> All right, let's let's get into Let's hear what Rick Cross had to say.

[01:22:20]>> Drake at your level.

[01:22:22]>> No, >> you're you're not putting Drake at your level.

[01:22:27]>> No. See, you might be I could see it in your eyes. You might be confused with the numbers and all of the fake numbers.

[01:22:34]Flood the marketplace. 50 something.

[01:22:36]That [ __ ] ain't nothing. Remember what I told you? The streets are the streets.

[01:22:41]If Drake was what he thought you what you think he was or what he thought he was, he would have been able to clear all this [ __ ] up, address it, and been moved on. He's still suing the label.

[01:22:51]That's like him. He might sue you for speaking of him on this situation.

[01:22:56]>> Did you listen to Iceman, the the new um >> I listened to some of it. My engineer was it was horrendous.

[01:23:02]>> My homies actually sat there. They lost hour of their life for this [ __ ] >> Listen to it.

[01:23:09]Yeah.

[01:23:09]>> Are they recovering?

[01:23:11]>> Yeah. Trauma.

[01:23:12]>> Trauma.

[01:23:15]>> You know, when you when you've been waiting after you seen people put ice blocks in the middle of places and promoted and marketed and the world knew what day it was coming out and the [ __ ] came out and and really, you know, folded.

[01:23:28]>> But have you personally listened to every single one of this tracks in the new album?

[01:23:32]>> No, I couldn't do it. I mean, Pitchfork gave it I said it was mid. Mid meant five. Pitchfork gave it a 4 point something. I don't know. But it was like, "No one's my friend.

[01:23:44]You left me alone."

[01:23:49]>> What is the wrong with this [ __ ] Stop that [ __ ] >> Yo, this [ __ ] is Looney.

[01:23:54]>> Yo, bro. You know, >> you know, we've seen Ross and 50 go at it.

[01:24:01]>> Sure.

[01:24:01]>> We've seen Ross and this [ __ ] go at it.

[01:24:04]Ross and everybody. And >> I don't think I've ever heard this.

[01:24:08]>> He's hilarious.

[01:24:11]>> But it it wasn't even like it was like so it was fluid with it. What the [ __ ] did Drake do to this is why I say yo, he be doing wild mixie [ __ ] cuz why they be doing this?

[01:24:21]>> But you know what's also crazy and what hurts my heart?

[01:24:24]>> They have some of the best music.

[01:24:26]>> Oh, they have they made amazing songs.

[01:24:28]When when when I knew that that uh Drake was coming out with a collab album before we knew it was her loss with with 21, >> I want it so bad. These two like if we go back to where people are like, "Yeah, I haven't liked Drake music in a long time, >> baby. Everyone who liked Drake music a long time ago, this [ __ ] has songs with him." Like, it's so freaking good.

[01:24:53]>> Yeah. He's by far. Do we do we know why where they >> trauma?

[01:24:59]Um Drake, so the meat beef Oh, because >> Well, that was But that was after we all know we What happened? Because before the beef, they was already having issues. There was something going on. It just wasn't put out to light yet.

[01:25:11]>> I think the meek whole meek [ __ ] >> Oh, Meek Millana, there was some >> But Drake and Meek like kissed and made up like they were all good. So I felt like >> I mean maybe but Ross, they did records after that.

[01:25:24]>> [ __ ] Aston Martin, I'm on one scheming. Go Rosie. Lord knows Money in the Gravey.

[01:25:32]>> Money in the Grave is my [ __ ] Yeah.

[01:25:34]He's by far.

[01:25:36]>> If you right now in your phone, >> you could probably make a playlist. If you go >> Ross's like greatest hits, y'all would say one of >> With Drake.

[01:25:44]>> With Drake.

[01:25:45]>> With Drake. No. I like >> I mean he has a lot of good music.

[01:25:48]>> The Avery Storm record.

[01:25:49]>> Yeah, the Ator record.

[01:25:51]>> Um uh uh [ __ ] >> Every day I'm hustling obviously is in there. Uh, >> [ __ ] no new friends. Like, what are we talking about? What's the [ __ ] with John Legend on new [ __ ] Yes. Yeah, that's his. That's your That's your tagline after last >> after last week. No new friends.

[01:26:07]>> You know what's crazy? I'm actually looking for all new friends cuz I'm cutting [ __ ] off. ALL NEW FRIENDS. I NEED A goddamn song for that. But yeah, like >> Ross is his best collaborator by far. By far.

[01:26:18]>> I don't think there's anybody other artists singing, rapping, whatever.

[01:26:21]Yeah. That Yeah. that have as good songs as they do together. Like Ross songs are be Ross and Drake songs are better than all of Drake Jay-Z songs.

[01:26:32]>> I'm not going to lie.

[01:26:33]>> What a different different vibe. I think I think the aim was different. When Drake did records with Jay, they was trying to borrow. Every record that I just read >> Drake and Ross together is better than the entire Her Lost album.

[01:26:48]>> I I would agree. Like if if you put Drake alongside all of his features.

[01:26:54]>> I agree.

[01:26:54]>> Along all of the rappers that he's even aligned himself with, because even Cole, we only got what, one or two records?

[01:27:00]>> I think we got we got two, three, >> maybe two. Two or three.

[01:27:03]>> Yeah.

[01:27:04]>> If we look at all the songs that that Drake has been on with other rappers, bar none, it's Ross. Ross has the best features with nothing even to talk about. Some of the best music together.

[01:27:14]So this is probably if we talk about historical beef, this is one of the ones I'm most sad about.

[01:27:19]>> Yeah. And this [ __ ] >> because we're never we're not going to get new music like the way that we relationship is over that that Drake and Future Squash and Beef. Like shout out to Bank for that. I need I don't know who can get in between. I don't know.

[01:27:32]>> I don't think because according to when he was um on Apple Music um and he he acknowledged that French still has a relationship with him >> and he was like, "Yeah, he could do that. I'm good." You know what I So whatever it is is is unfixable.

[01:27:46]>> And then he also alludes to him having to say something publicly. I don't know.

[01:27:50]>> All of these jokes. So So Ross gets >> I'm pretty sure Aubrey will address it somehow some way later down the line.

[01:27:56]>> Okay. Wait a second. Was Ross not dissed on the latest >> Oh, maybe we didn't catch it yet. We probably did. We not catch it.

[01:28:01]>> He just But it seems like one-sided currently because Drake hasn't really addressed him >> at all. I haven't seen Drake address, >> but he keeps going hard like the whole >> It's a press one right But I think but I think >> maybe maybe Drake is paying him.

[01:28:13]>> No, but when he go to talk the other way, there was I did see a clip where Ross somebody asked Ross about it and he was like he know what he did. He got to be the one when he when he handles what he need to handle then we could sit down.

[01:28:25]>> And unfortunately whatever that is, but that's what I said in the last episode like where it's like I'm a victim and everyone turned on me. I would like to know more of what the [ __ ] Drake did to these [ __ ] cuz it has to be and and and to me what you think it is. Well, to me, even seeing like clearly business be a little shy, right? We we we heard Metro come out and was like, "The reason why I don't [ __ ] with that [ __ ] is cuz my mama passed and that [ __ ] really was harassing me about music. Like, like he doesn't know how to deal from a personal we saw Wayne. Like, yeah, Wayne was maybe able to forgive him because he done made so much money for Wayne, but bro, I'm locked up and you went and [ __ ] on my jaw." Like like to me there's he hurts people from a personal level which is why it's crazy that he's crying so much over what LeBron did from a personal level because wait did y'all see what people broke down. So allegedly >> one of the songs there's a girl in the video >> and he smiled. He looked >> and when he starts talking about >> LeBron the girl leaves the room but then in the video he looks back and smiles at the camera and so >> and she's on the screen too when he looks back. People are insinuating that that's one of the bodies that maybe LeBron got. And it's like dry snitching, too.

[01:29:33]>> It's dry snitching.

[01:29:35]>> Oh, I'm not going to lie. If you sit here and you start parading on a disc record and start >> Can't dance now, you're going to out him like that. You're going to take you're going to take his tattoo and put another man on.

[01:29:45]>> I love the internet from from the LA show to when that [ __ ] was on an island to on a boat to before the game.

[01:29:53]>> You know, Kendrick Lebron had a relationship before the beach.

[01:29:55]>> It doesn't matter. There is now a like like >> who that >> like >> No, I don't know who that is. Yi, stop looking at [ __ ] Like yummy girl.

[01:30:07]>> Her name Yeah. Her name is like Chrome.

[01:30:09]>> Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's from Toronto.

[01:30:12]>> So that ain't her.

[01:30:13]>> She's a No, she's a Toronto girl, but she's a batty.

[01:30:15]>> Yeah, she's a batty. She's a Toronto batty.

[01:30:17]>> She's a baddy.

[01:30:17]>> And she's from Ecuador.

[01:30:19]>> She a batty. She a batty.

[01:30:21]>> So here's the thing with the with the with the Drake and like who did what to who. I think the the most interesting and telling part of the whole [ __ ] is that people who have a problem with Drake pretty much say what Ross says.

[01:30:33]That [ __ ] know why. That [ __ ] know why. That [ __ ] know why. And people aren't necessarily coming out and saying what it is. They're on some like he knows why I don't [ __ ] with him. And Drake's response to all them people isn't like, "Oh, I didn't do nothing to you. I didn't I didn't do that." Or whatever the case is. His response is, "I know secrets about you that I'll tell. [ __ ] shut up."

[01:30:51]So to me, I'm like that's not a defense of like I violated you. That's that's saying like okay I violated you and what [ __ ] if you keep [ __ ] with me [ __ ] I'mma tell them how you so it's just like damn bro like what did these what did you do to these [ __ ] because they don't [ __ ] with you at all.

[01:31:07]>> Okay. John knows ball. He's following her.

[01:31:10]>> Okay. Yeah. She's cuz she's old school batty. Not old school but like she's been doing this internet batty thing like from the beginning of Instagram.

[01:31:17]>> Oh yeah. I'm just saying you know ball.

[01:31:19]>> Is she switch?

[01:31:21]>> Is she a service provider?

[01:31:23]>> I know she was >> No, I don't mean like that. I don't mean not that you would know. I'm saying >> No, but I'm saying >> I'm talking about her contribution to the culture.

[01:31:30]>> No, but I'm saying like she makes music.

[01:31:33]>> She's Oh, she Okay. Is it good?

[01:31:35]>> She makes music.

[01:31:36]>> Is it good?

[01:31:36]>> Yeah, she does make music.

[01:31:38]>> Really? Listen, but >> no one has. But >> she does provide.

[01:31:42]>> You got to represent Ecuador. You know what I mean?

[01:31:44]>> She does provide services though. I'm I'm like >> I just want to know >> Wi-Fi services. I don't know if she provides like in-person services.

[01:31:52]>> She fine. She can provide me some services.

[01:31:55]>> See, this is why >> that's what you could wear in a tsunami.

[01:31:58]>> That's a summer time.

[01:32:01]>> That [ __ ] >> What is the hat? What is that? What is that mushroom hat?

[01:32:04]>> Oh. Oh, wait. Whoa.

[01:32:06]>> Oh yeah. No, she bad.

[01:32:07]>> Mhm.

[01:32:08]>> Sorry y'all. Okay. YO, WE ARE POTTING RIGHT NOW. GET OFF OF THIS WOMAN'S FACE.

[01:32:13]>> POTTING. It's just the workouts. That's all. Are we just looking at the workout calisthetics?

[01:32:17]>> Y'all looking at the the calorie burning >> the fits. Y'all could wear that during the summer. Get the [ __ ] out of here.

[01:32:22]Get off of that girl's page. But yeah, I mean to me I I I will say from a troll perspective.

[01:32:31]>> I think it's funny. Um him and 50, you know, and they got the money to back it up. They have businesses on businesses.

[01:32:38]They go beyond rap. They have uh investments that have garnered them tons and tons of money. Yeah. Um and he is a fun he's he's a cool guy. Like I've I've been around Ross. Ross thinks I This is crazy hearing him talk. He thinks I'm nuts.

[01:32:54]>> No, he's going to say you're traumatized.

[01:32:56]>> No, I'm not traumatized.

[01:32:57]>> You unpack your traumas. I like both of their music. I really like both of them.

[01:33:00]I've like like I said, I've been around both of them. Uh Drake, not so much.

[01:33:04]I'll be scared because I said some [ __ ] But uh uh Ross I've seen plenty of times. He's a nice guy. He cool. Um, this is funny. I like it.

[01:33:14]>> I like it.

[01:33:15]>> I like I I like that he's keeping this energy. I would like to see though this beef, >> mend, I think that there's hope.

[01:33:24]>> I'm going to say there's hope.

[01:33:25]>> For for our benefit of the music, I'm with you there. Yeah. I don't really care about him fixing it with anybody else, but for for Ross and him to get back and maybe >> like I'm mad he he fix it with Future.

[01:33:36]Like, cool. We got March Madness. I'm cool with not having they're gonna do more.

[01:33:42]>> Yeah, it's gonna future tweeted the other day one of those.

[01:33:44]>> I think he was on his way to Toronto like another What a Time to Be Alive. It was It was cool.

[01:33:49]>> I would say even Hold on. Hot take the 10 records I just said between Drake and Ross >> was better than What a Time to Be Alive.

[01:33:58]I would say that but What a Time to Be Alive was my [ __ ] But but also when you when you when you have lightning in the bottle like that and then it's discourse and then y'all come back, it's not going to be the same. So that's why you don't do it. You don't do another album. Maybe one or two songs here or here.

[01:34:14]>> I mean, we got the the feature.

[01:34:15]>> You got the one feature, >> but I don't even like that song. I'm not going to like I like the beat. The beat is crazy, but I don't really like I'm not that familiar with Molly Santana, but like I just >> Santana New Hannah Montana.

[01:34:28]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not I don't really like >> I don't like what no one really did on that record, but that beat is crazy.

[01:34:33]>> But it's the intent of the the record.

[01:34:35]>> Yeah. Let me get the production is insane.

[01:34:38]>> The production is insane.

[01:34:39]>> Yeah. But it's a it's a Kendrick troll and a reuniting with Future at the same time. So it's like, okay, we get it.

[01:34:45]Like that's cool. Like have your little moment.

[01:34:47]>> I would have you think Kendrick and and Future now probably not cool.

[01:34:52]>> No, I don't think about that. I don't think Kendrick is on it like that.

[01:34:55]>> Yeah. I don't think he's on >> I think he said what he said. I think that's another thing too. Even with GNX, when you listen to certain songs, I think Kendrick is standing on everything he said.

[01:35:02]>> Yeah. Plus, I don't think that Kendrick did like that thinking, "Oh, Drake, I mean, Future doesn't [ __ ] with Drake no more."

[01:35:08]>> I just think Kendrick got on the record on some like, "Oh, y'all want to be on?"

[01:35:11]>> It seemed like that they whatever they had going on, it was like, "Oh [ __ ] we going to double down. It's just Big Me, nigga."

[01:35:17]>> Yeah. But people are talking on the internet that like Future is on all of their albums.

[01:35:23]>> That's true, too. Yeah. You got number one.

[01:35:25]>> No, no, no. like in the falloff.

[01:35:27]>> Yeah. Three records >> on GNX, right?

[01:35:29]>> Mhm.

[01:35:30]>> And then Drake. So, >> no, not on GNX.

[01:35:32]>> Is he on GNX?

[01:35:33]>> No, that was on Metro.

[01:35:36]But anyway, they're just they're just kind of saying like Future doesn't really stand for anything.

[01:35:41]>> Yeah, I don't think he had to.

[01:35:44]>> He doesn't even stand for fatherhood.

[01:35:45]Like, >> [ __ ] >> I mean, why are we talking like we're surprised, you know, you know, exceptional? You know what I love about you? The way Mandy be lining this [ __ ] up. You would thought she had three kids and she's speaking from a perspective.

[01:35:59]>> Right. Right. Right. Yo, you and I love that for you cuz you are advocating for the against the [ __ ] [ __ ] But it's like the smoke she has with Anthony Edwards.

[01:36:10]>> Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I've heard you come to Atlanta, he's going to make more broken homes.

[01:36:14]>> You could you imagine if she was a uh a [ __ ] child support judge?

[01:36:18]>> Oh man. Oh wow. in another life, it's over with.

[01:36:22]>> You know what's crazy though? I do stand for men that want to be good fathers being able to get the time to see their kids. Like >> I've seen women be like, "This is my baby." Like there's this couple that I follow on Instagram and they be going back and forth like crazy about like co-parenting and it you could tell he want to be a good daddy, but you could tell she wants a family.

[01:36:45]>> They argue on Instagram like Nardo something. They argue on the internet and the baby be right in front like it it it's so sad. But literally you could you could tell you could tell she she had the baby and thought it was going to keep them >> together >> together and so she don't want a co-arent. She want a family and he's like >> nah but let me see my son and it's it's just a lot. So to me, like when you have men that are actively wanting to be in their children's lives and as a woman because you couldn't be with the man in a relationship, you >> don't deny that man.

[01:37:18]>> Don't deny that man be >> and beyond the man. Honestly, don't deny the child their father.

[01:37:24]>> And I that's where I do like like that uh uh Russell Wilson stepped up and you know, even held it down. The fact that she named that [ __ ] future what type of dick that [ __ ] got. You named your child after a stage name. Who were you thinking?

[01:37:39]>> Yeah, that is kind of crazy.

[01:37:40]>> Who were you thinking? Imagine if she had a baby with Bow or 50 before that.

[01:37:44]Naming a BABY BOW OR 50. LIKE, WHAT ARE we talking about? But yeah, shout out to uh I don't know who I'm shouting.

[01:37:55]>> Shout and shout out to the great dads, especially with uh Father's Day coming up. And you know, I ain't [ __ ] I didn't even know Father's Day was the weekend of Junth.

[01:38:04]Shout out to Mandy saying [ __ ] them kids and demanding that you say I love my kids.

[01:38:09]>> Shout out to Shout out to that.

[01:38:11]>> I'm not playing with y'all. Um anyways, I hope that all of y'all um enjoyed your Memorial Day weekend. We literally only got a couple more days of the month and then [ __ ] we in June.

We're both going to Roots Picnic uh this weekend and and J was like, "So we recorded on Tuesday." I said, "No, [ __ ] You done told me you got a 5:00 flight. I got a 6:00 flight. See you at 11.

[01:39:03]>> A [ __ ] >> Oh, so that's another reason why that's another that's another reason why I said, "Damn, I fly in. That's going to be a lot of work to be doing for three, four days to come."
