0:59
to get blown away with all this wind we had yesterday lord have mercy.
1:05
That shit was crazy it really really was man as we were uh talking when you uh first came in,
1:13
I felt like the house was going to come apart. I'm like, OK,
1:16
I'm just waiting to look up and see the roof is across the street or something,
1:20
man. It was it was nuts, bro.
1:22
Really, really nuts. But all's well that ends well. So what do you want to get into today?
1:29
So today we're going to get into what we briefly touched on at the beginning of last week's episode.
1:36
Conspiracy theories yeah we don't really have
1:39
a rhyme over like we just we found a
1:42
bunch of crazy ones yeah some known some
1:45
not yeah we're just gonna kind of run through a couple of them and address them
1:49
yeah yeah yeah and uh as kg was just saying some of these you guys will recognize
1:56
but some of these are pretty off the wall and i have to admit i'm not even aware and i try and stay up.
2:04
Well, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I do try and at least stay on top of
2:11
it. See what everybody talks about.
2:13
Yeah, just in case.
2:16
I'm in the barbershop. I can chime in on some of the craziness.
2:22
All right, bro. So you want to just start running down the list?
2:26
Yeah. I want to go to one that you mentioned before we started. Okay. Blue Bay. Yeah.
2:32
So I'll admit I've heard the name, but didn't know what was going on.
2:38
And this was from way back in the middle, mid-90s.
2:42
The claim was that NASA and the UN will use advanced 3D holographic technology
2:47
to project a fake alien invasion or a second coming in the sky.
2:53
So basically, Spider-Man far from home.
2:57
Yes but but but also there was the
2:59
religious aspect of it which is the second coming part
3:02
they were supposed to project a image
3:05
of jesus descending well according
3:09
to some people that we've seen over the years they've already seen jesus in
3:12
the sky yeah yeah yeah yeah well that that one you told me about michael jackson
3:17
moonwalking the other day blew my mind the lightning strike yeah yeah yeah yeah
3:24
yeah but but but yeah it is is interesting because,
3:29
i mean we're like okay you can you can project the alien ship or the spaceship
3:36
whatever you want to call it but when it's time to i mean because you got to
3:41
attack right so how are you going to fake that part of. Right.
3:46
We're just going to be shooting missiles at Holograph. Right.
3:49
The first one is going to go right through. We're going to be like, oh.
3:51
Right. Right. It clearly is a hoax, you know. So, yeah. But that one was a pretty
3:57
popular one. I do remember that.
3:59
My whole thing is, if you read the Bible, when Jesus comes back,
4:06
it is not going to be peaceful.
4:09
So there's not going to be just, oh, I'm here. No, people are going to be getting wrecked.
4:17
Weeping and gnashing of teeth, as the Bible says.
4:21
So so even that is like, OK, you can you can project the image all you want
4:25
to, which if he's white, I'm immediately going. I don't know who that is.
4:33
Y'all going back in the house yeah yeah yeah i don't
4:36
i don't i don't recognize that guy which you know he
4:39
probably would be but you know and this
4:42
isn't racist y'all but geographically it's just impossible for jesus to be a
4:48
white man i'm sorry it is get over it he's not white okay all right bro rewrite
4:55
history in your own house yeah yeah for real though you want you You want me
4:59
to pick one that? Yeah. Yeah.
5:01
Let's let's talk about this one because I sprung this one on you.
5:04
Let's talk about the reptilian effect.
5:12
Now, I'll admit I've heard of it, but it became really, really big when COVID hit.
5:19
I think it was even before COVID, though. Well, I guess for myself.
5:23
But then when I started looking up, I was like, oh, shoot, this goes way back.
5:26
I guess I just never paid attention to it.
5:29
All right. So for those who are not aware, the reptilian effect.
5:36
Think of the TV series V, which was great when we were kids. Used to love it.
5:43
Yes. Used to come on WGM once a year.
5:46
Yes. Think about that and and and recall the lizard people, the reptilian people.
5:54
Well, there were people who claimed that this was actually not that far fetched.
5:59
And your elites, meaning like the world elites, the super filthy rich,
6:05
the royals in the UK, they were all basically faking as humans.
6:13
They were actually reptilian people and they were eating babies and drinking
6:17
blood and all of that kind of stuff. And look, if this sounds farfetched.
6:23
Yeah, it is far-fetched, but look it up.
6:26
This is actually a real conspiracy. And it was first brought to light by a sports
6:32
broadcaster, David Icke. Uh-huh.
6:37
And here's my favorite part. They're shape-shifting, and they are,
6:43
well, they're shape-shifting reptilian humanoids from the Alpha Draconis star system.
6:51
Where's that? I have no goddamn idea.
6:56
What just you just made up the star system oh
7:00
hey what they say
7:03
a good conspiracy is something that you can you know it you can kind of make
7:08
sense uh you know as you heard me say since we were way younger the only conspiracy
7:15
theory which i'm sure we'll touch on that i think is remotely interesting is JFK.
7:21
That's a good one. No, no, no.
7:24
That's a real good one. Because it's interesting.
7:27
You can sit there for days. You watch that video over and over.
7:31
We'll get into it. Save that. Save that. Save that.
7:35
You want to go? You want you want me to pick another one? I had one,
7:38
but the one I said that I was going to bring up. Hold up.
7:43
Why are you why are you thinking about it? Go ahead. Go ahead.
7:45
Let's touch on MK Ultra real quick.
7:47
Wow. Just popped up on my screens. I was scrolling. Yes.
7:50
So if you guys aren't aware, MKUltra is the CIA secret program to develop mind
7:58
control using like LSD and other drugs on unsuspecting or unknowing subjects.
8:06
Now, I didn't start hearing about this until probably 10 years ago.
8:14
And this is when someone kept saying that
8:17
Shaq had a glitch during inside
8:21
the NBA and they were like watch this video
8:24
I know I know bear with me bear with me here so I don't know if it was Kenny
8:32
talking or Ernie talking but all of a sudden Shaq just had this blank stare
8:38
on his face and he was just looking straight ahead,
8:42
wasn't reacting to anything that was being said and this was about.
8:47
I don't know, 10, 15 seconds. And then he like snapped out of it and they were
8:52
like, that's that MKUltra.
8:53
They was like, look, he had a glitch. He had a glitch.
8:57
So basically saying like like people have handlers and there are a lot of people
9:02
out here who, you know, they have these glitches. You see people just zone out.
9:07
That's them glitching from their MKUltra programming.
9:15
Meanwhile, yes, it's considered a conspiracy theory. But in reality,
9:19
we know it to be more true than a conspiracy.
9:22
Well, the LSD mind control things, that's definitely true. Because Unabomber
9:27
was a part of that study at Harvard.
9:29
Right. So it's definitely something. But if that's the case for Shaq,
9:34
remember when Draymond sat there for like 15 to 20 seconds a couple of years ago?
9:39
And people were just like, yo, man, did he just fall asleep with his eyes open?
9:43
They would have said that that's MK Ultra glitching, though.
9:47
MK Ultra. Yeah.
9:49
But, yes, you are right. They were using mind control techniques back in the
9:54
70s in LSD. He was only 15.
9:58
The Unabomber? Because, you know, he went to Harvard at, like,
10:00
15 years old. That's interesting, bro. He was just a kid.
10:05
Yeah, yeah. Messing people up. Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy.
10:10
Again, another one. another fun one if you guys uh
10:13
want to want to look that one up check out the
10:15
mk ultra did you find the one you wanted to uh yeah all right
10:18
let's get it so i've heard the rumors of
10:21
you know australia denmark oh man yeah
10:24
lay it lay it lay it on me bro however this one
10:27
is about it's the finnish conspiracy it was from 2015 so the claim is the country
10:34
of finland does not exist it is actually a patch of the Baltic Sea used by Japan
10:41
and Russia for secret fishing rights.
10:46
So Japan and Russia got together in 2015.
10:50
Now, Fendon been around for forever in 2015 and created a country recently that's
11:00
been around forever so they can secretly fish without rights.
11:05
That's the claim. So somebody somewhere was sitting in a room and was like, yo, that might be fake.
11:13
What here's the
11:16
evidence finland was invented so the
11:19
two nations could fish without regulation and the finnish people are
11:22
actually just people living in eastern sweden
11:25
who don't realize they aren't in a real country
11:29
okay few few few things
11:32
first what's so special about the fish that
11:36
that's the first thing is like why would you need to create
11:39
a fake country so you
11:42
can go fishing but they live there but you don't know they're in a fake country
11:47
what yeah so i'm here but i'm not yeah and i mean couldn't someone make their
11:52
claim about any destination for the most part yeah you know you're not really
11:56
y'all ain't really americans man that's fake though,
12:01
ah yeah that's a crazy one that is really really yeah that's that's that's off that's off the wall.
12:12
Let's talk about a classic let's talk about the flat earth and how it resurfaced
12:19
which is which is wild that it even resurfaced because i thought we put this to bed centuries ago,
12:26
but and i i i shouldn't even have to explain this but i'm going to do my best,
12:31
what would you say 10 years 15 years ago that the the flat earth theory uh kind
12:37
of reemerged Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:39
And I know how it reemerged.
12:44
It reemerged because people don't understand the Bible.
12:49
So when you get a lot of people who read one or two passages and they think
12:55
they understand and it stems from the firmament and the passage in the Bible
13:02
where it talks about the firmaments,
13:04
the three different firmaments and the dome.
13:08
Theory that's covering the earth, which is why if you see those pictures,
13:12
sometimes you see a dome over it.
13:14
That's where it all stems from. So there are people who are going,
13:18
well, if the Bible said that it's flat, then earth has to be flat.
13:23
That's where it stems from.
13:26
Now. So yes, it does. And I know you don't like doing this, so I'll do it for you again,
13:32
because I know I did it a couple weeks ago i think it's just people
13:35
stupid as hell well my
13:40
like there's no way i'm picking
13:43
up the bible seeing that and immediately saying to myself oh the earth is flat
13:51
there's no like i don't get that from that me neither and i've i've read the
13:58
bible you know grew up in church,
14:02
never has that been discussed and you're telling me that the north pole was in the middle,
14:07
of everything like it's flat and it's just sitting in the middle so if we travel
14:11
from where we are if we travel east across the atlantic we should eventually run into the north pole,
14:17
no you should eventually just fall off the face of the earth you know i'm saying
14:21
but if we travel east we're gonna hit the north pole before we hit africa or parts of europe Mm hmm.
14:31
No, I get you. I get you. But but but yeah, no, it's just like,
14:36
why has no one fallen off the earth?
14:39
If it's flat, there has to be an end.
14:43
I always tell people this, of course, with me being in the logistics industry
14:48
for as long as I was, you know, you can sell to China from the West Coast and from the East Coast.
14:54
Is going to take you a lot longer from the East Coast, but it can be done,
14:59
which proves that the earth is not flat.
15:03
You would only be able to go one way if the earth was flat.
15:07
So there's also more to it. The ice wall theory. I'm not familiar.
15:12
So it says that one of the most popular sub theories is that the Antarctic Treaty
15:18
of 61 exists solely to prevent people from sailing to the edge.
15:21
They believe if you cross the ice wall, you would find more continents,
15:26
extra resources or the edge of the world.
15:29
Only if you go south. Yeah. What about the other three? Which,
15:34
again, makes people stupid.
15:40
So you only fall off the earth if you travel further north south.
15:45
And also in a nutshell, so what people are saying is that the edge of the earth
15:49
is just, what, an infinity pool?
15:51
I guess so. The water just hits like this big mysterious glass wall and just reverberates back?
15:57
Yeah. it it may it makes no sense bro
16:00
the the flat earth thing if i'm being honest in
16:03
all my 50 years it might be the dumbest thing dumbest
16:06
conspiracy theory yeah other than one that
16:09
we should definitely get into next yeah but i and i just want to state for the
16:14
record i am a bible believing man i believe in god 100 but this flat earth thing
16:24
i i just i i can't get down with it i'm just like, no, absolutely not.
16:31
Absolutely not. Yeah. Well, here, we were just talking about the people who
16:36
go up on the rockets for 10 minutes. Oh, yeah.
16:40
Don't you think one of them would have came back and said, man, the earth is flat.
16:44
Just a thought. Well, given about 10 years, there'll be a conspiracy theory
16:48
that when Gayle King and all of them went up, that there was some sort of agreement.
16:54
Somebody up there stopped time where it looked like they were only gone for 10 minutes.
16:59
They were actually gone for six days and their memories were wiped out. Yeah. Yeah.
17:08
Whatever. Go ahead. Go ahead, bro. 5G and COVID-19.
17:14
I forgot about 5G completely. So as someone who was listed at that time as a.
17:24
Basically an employee that had to be out. I remember we had a brief conversation
17:30
about 5G and you were giving me some details about it.
17:33
So I dealt with people on a daily basis when I was in the previous industry I was in.
17:41
And I had to listen to this nonsense every single day.
17:47
And I thought to myself, so what you're telling me is that radio waves cause viral infections?
17:54
Is that what you're telling me yeah okay yeah i'm not talking you know.
18:01
I might just leave before this transaction is
18:04
even complete i'm not delivering nothing to you i'm just
18:07
gonna leave when i get back to the office and they say what happened at
18:10
that store i'll be like man about that store you know you you
18:13
seriously need to just do some basic biology
18:17
research and know that a radio
18:20
wave could not affect your body in that capacity it
18:23
led to people setting towers on fire all
18:26
across europe that's wild like you imagine getting arrested and you sitting
18:33
in the room and they asked you why to stop the spread of covet like if i would
18:38
this is what remember i told you before i could never be a cop right then i
18:41
would beat the hell out of you Right there in that room.
18:45
What? Yeah. You put your neighbor's lives at risk because you thought burning
18:50
down a 5G tower would stop the spread of COVID.
18:55
My whole thing with COVID, the fact that people were saying that it wasn't real.
19:04
And it's just like millions of people have died.
19:08
They were all hired actors, according to what was that dude's name?
19:14
I'm just like, what do you mean COVID's not real?
19:19
It's not, man. I'm like, so you think they just killed a million people for an agenda? They do.
19:26
An agenda that accomplished what?
19:29
Just to get us to wear masks for a couple of months? That was their agenda?
19:34
And I remember back when it first hit Indiana, when my niece got sick and was
19:39
in the hospital. I was terrified.
19:43
Absolutely terrified. And then I had to go to these different places every day
19:49
and hear about how it's fake.
19:51
And I got to remember my niece is in the hospital and it's taking everything
19:55
in me not to punch people in the face.
19:57
Well, it's an insult to everyone who lost a loved one to COVID.
20:02
And while we're on that, COVID is giving people humongous balls.
20:08
Well, I should be dead by now. You should be dead. I should be dead. Yeah.
20:11
Yeah. What was it they said within like 18 months of any vaccinations,
20:16
everybody was just going to start dropping dead? Yeah.
20:18
Cancer and no balls swelling up to the size of grapefruits and all of that kind of stuff.
20:24
Well, the fact that we're here talking confirms that we're not dead. Six years later.
20:30
Yeah. And my balls didn't swell up.
20:36
I'm just saying I guess I'm one of the lucky ones Because it never happened to me Same here,
20:45
People, people, people, people, people, people Let's get into JFK, bro Yeah,
20:53
So, I don't know if you have the same conspiracy that I have,
20:57
and I refuse to watch the movie.
20:59
I know you're probably going to bring it up. I'm telling you,
21:01
man. I refuse to do it. You know why. I know. I know.
21:05
But the conspiracy that I have is that there were more than just one shooter.
21:10
Yeah. And if you look at the video,
21:13
it certainly looks like his body moved forward first and then moved backwards,
21:21
which indicates to me that he was shot from behind first and then shot.
21:29
A second time. Well, we know it was two shooters because Ace Ventura confessed.
21:37
So that's the conspiracy that I'm aware of with JFK.
21:43
I know there are many others about who actually killed him. Was it the mob?
21:47
Was it a government inside job? I know there are a lot of conspiracies about that.
21:52
I think some people even say that Oswald was part of the MK Ultra.
21:58
Program and he was his mission was to kill jfk for for for lack of a better term but i'm not i'm i'm
22:06
not promoting that or i said i've heard
22:08
those but i kind of like immediately dismiss them but him
22:12
being shot twice that's one that's just like there's video evidence so the one
22:19
that that i'm looking at is it's a little known secret service agent george
22:25
hickey And the car behind him accidentally discharged his AR-15.
22:31
Oh, really? That's another one. It was somebody they wrote in a book.
22:36
It was a book that came out when they said that. Which points to him moving
22:40
forward first. Yeah. So the name of the book is Mortal Error.
22:43
Oh, wow. And they say that George Hickey's AR-15 discharge, which would give
22:50
more reason for the government to cover it up.
22:52
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No doubt. And that was one that I hadn't heard of until recently.
22:56
I'm like, I ain't know nothing about this one. Oh, that, that, yeah.
23:00
I mean, yeah, it definitely falls in line with him being shot from behind first
23:06
and then being hit from a forward shot. Hmm.
23:10
Interesting. That, I like that. I might actually do some research into that one. I like that.
23:15
Yeah, somebody, yeah, they wrote a book. Somebody wrote a book about it and
23:18
was like, yeah, that's what happened, which is why they're, they're trying to
23:21
cover it up. I'm like damn I ain't never heard of that one um.
23:27
Imagine being that guy. Man. Like, if it's real, can you imagine?
23:31
Bro! He would have been dead in the week.
23:35
You just killed the president, bro. What the fuck? What can you say? My bad? Right.
23:42
Nah, ain't no my bad, brother. As soon as we turn this corner, your ass is arrested.
23:49
Oh, they talk about them secret jails where nobody ever hear from you again.
23:54
Well, sure. Be like in the Marvel movies.
23:57
That floating ocean jail.
24:01
My ass ain't going nowhere.
24:04
It'll be until the day you die, fella. Man. Is it on me or is it on you?
24:10
I think it might be me. I want to talk about my favorite one. Mm-hmm.
24:15
Chemtrails. All right. Let's hit it.
24:18
Also another stupid theory. I mean, you can ask anybody, 60,
24:24
70, 80 years old, they've always been there.
24:28
So this myth that they just started in the last 25, 30, 40 years is wild.
24:37
They've been here. It's moisture. Coming off the wings of planes, moisture.
24:45
It's controlling the weather. Okay. I hear you.
24:49
You look up on a hot July day, not a cloud in the sky, just chemtrails.
24:56
What's it doing to the weather?
24:59
Is it hot? It also supposed to, you know, there is biochemicals that's falling
25:06
from the sky and seeping down into us and making us sick. Yeah.
25:10
Also from the chemtrails.
25:12
So there's also that one out there, too, which.
25:15
It's interesting because I had the sniffles the other day. Well,
25:18
so whenever someone says something like that's just very general and blanket,
25:24
I always have to say, who's the target?
25:30
If if if the goal is is is is population control, then OK.
25:37
But that's Bill Gates is a arena population control.
25:42
But the world doesn't operate without a population.
25:46
You know what I'm saying? So if you go, well, it's the limited resources.
25:50
So they got to do population control.
25:52
The only reason we have limited resources is because these rich assholes, one, are taking it all.
26:01
But two, they won't allow resources to be funneled because they're greedy.
26:08
It's more than enough resources on this earth for everyone to live.
26:15
I ain't going to say great, but there should be nothing about food shortages
26:20
or water shortages or any type of food insecurity.
26:26
There's more than enough land, more than enough crops and all of that kind of
26:30
stuff for us to live comfortably on this earth for a very long time.
26:37
So just like who's the target? Just any and everybody.
26:41
So you think these people don't worry about their family members?
26:45
Getting caught up in the fray?
26:47
Right, because they're not in some bunker. Right. Underground.
26:51
Now, mama, don't go out today or tomorrow. We're going to put these chemtrails
26:55
up in the air. I don't want you to get sick.
26:57
Now, if we looked up and there were no politicians or any elected officials
27:02
anywhere to be found, yeah, now it's time to worry. Yeah.
27:06
Then, yeah, absolutely. I may think about it, but come on.
27:10
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And even with like, this is going to move into one,
27:15
But I'm going to try and speed through it for time purposes.
27:18
Like they're saying that, you know, AIDS. Oh, yeah, yeah.
27:21
No, was was a targeted thing saying COVID was targeted. And it's just like,
27:26
but targeted towards who, though?
27:30
You know what I'm saying? And it's just like too many unintended consequences.
27:36
If that's the truth, that that makes them incredibly inept and incredibly inefficient.
27:43
If that's the goal If they were targeting the black community With HIV and AIDS
27:48
Or targeting the gay community With HIV and AIDS You sure did a shitty job at
27:54
it If you're trying to wipe out An entire group Yeah,
28:00
you did a terrible job You wouldn't have even allowed.
28:04
Those medications To come along Even now where people with HIV can take them
28:09
And be non-detectable Like take blood tests and be non-detectorate, Ryan White.
28:16
Probably would not be dead if that was the case.
28:20
I mean, this is a teenage white kid, all-American white kid.
28:24
I don't think they were trying to kill him.
28:27
And his was from a blood transfusion. From a blood transfusion,
28:30
correct. Rock Hudson, I mean, he was a beloved actor.
28:34
Don't think they would have been trying to kill Rock Hudson.
28:37
They would have cloned him.
28:40
Go into it. Well, no, I want to do a couple rapid fire.
28:45
Okay, okay, okay. So this is one I didn't I'd never heard this.
28:49
There's rumors that Chuck E. Cheese recycles uneaten pizza slices.
28:55
Yuck. Yeah.
28:58
Yuck. Oh, my goodness. And I mean, I guess they grind it back down, put it in the dough.
29:05
That's that's a rumor. Oh, yeah.
29:09
Disney's Frozen, the movie was made to basically stifle Google results.
29:16
So now if you type in Disney's Frozen, it no longer pulls up Walt Disney's head
29:22
being cryogenically frozen.
29:24
It just shows the movie Frozen.
29:26
So there's a rumor that Disney chose the name of that movie and created it.
29:31
So going forward, you can no longer look up Walt Disney cryogenically frozen head.
29:38
I briefly heard about Walt Disney being frozen.
29:42
I did not know that there was a connection between the two.
29:46
If that's the case, that's smart as hell. It really is. Because if you want
29:49
people to stop asking you dumbass questions, put a movie out called Frozen.
29:53
Yeah. You know, I've never seen it, by the way.
29:56
Well, I had two granddaughters. It's a musical, man. I've seen.
30:00
Yeah, but nah can't do
30:03
it bro it's it's you know it's a good
30:06
movie cannot do it bro it's
30:09
a good movie cannot cannot cannot even
30:13
animated musicals i cannot do it i i i'll i'll i'll take that back briefly because
30:19
i did watch moana with my granddaughter yeah and then that's also like a musical
30:24
but uh yeah also a good movie yeah it really is a couple of rapid fire ones
30:31
area Area 51 and Roswell,
30:33
the supposed alien landing and the secret government base down there in New Mexico.
30:39
We talked about that a few episodes ago when Obama was doing his interview around
30:44
the Super Bowl and basically said that it Roswell and Area 51 don't exist.
30:51
Can I I'm going to add something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the rebuttal,
30:55
people listening to this were Area 51 fanatics, the rebuttal for you would be,
30:59
why do they keep trying to shoot at us?
31:02
And here's the reason. It's a military base. You're not allowed to go on any
31:07
military base without getting shot at.
31:09
Well, here's my other rebuttal is UFOs.
31:15
People think UFO means alien, means alien, and it does not. How many UFOs I see every day?
31:23
Unidentified flying object. That's all it means, folks. Does not mean alien.
31:30
It could be a test plane that they're doing, a prototype.
31:34
You know what I'm saying? It doesn't mean that it's alien. I can look out this
31:38
window. And can't identify the plane flying by.
31:41
And I could say, was that a plane? I can't tell if that's a plane.
31:46
So that plane immediately to me becomes a UFO.
31:49
Right, right, right, right. Like some little green men work for American Airlines now. Yeah, yeah.
31:55
Some other quick hitters, 9-11 being an inside job. I don't want to get too much into that.
32:02
The moon landing being a hoax, you know, that's one that I've always kept near and dear to my heart.
32:08
But we don't have to go into it. Or the fact that what I mentioned before we
32:12
started, the moon being a projection.
32:14
A projection. Yeah. Yeah. A hologram. Yeah. We don't have to go into those.
32:18
We're speeding through those for time purposes, guys.
32:21
Trying to think what's one. Paul McCartney being dead. That was one that was
32:26
interesting that you hit me with the other day.
32:30
What's one that we actually want to stop and talk about, though?
32:34
Let's talk about the Tuskegee syphilis study.
32:39
So for those who know, especially for us in the black community that know what
32:45
this is, I think one of the huge misconceptions is that the government gave
32:49
these men syphilis. Correct.
32:51
Government did not give these men syphilis. Correct.
32:54
These men came forward who already had syphilis. Correct.
32:58
And instead of treating them, the government gave them placebo,
33:02
placebo, sugar pills. Correct. Yesterday. Correct.
33:06
And did not treat them. They didn't treat them. Correct. The body response was. Correct.
33:12
You know, as they go through it. So correct. So, no, they did not give these
33:16
men syphilis. They just didn't treat.
33:19
They didn't treat it. And and and this is not a conspiracy.
33:23
No, this is a fact. You can you can research this. You can look this up.
33:27
This actually is they gave them to. Right. Yeah. Right.
33:30
But but there was 100 percent a syphilis study where they did not treat a group
33:37
of black men in Tuskegee.
33:40
And so so I'm saying all of that to say, you know, for the people who go,
33:43
you can't trust the government. Yes and no.
33:47
As black people as black men
33:50
there are certain things that of course we're naturally distrusting about when
33:56
it when it comes to the government and and yes the government does lie about
34:01
certain things but like we were just talking about the the aids being.
34:09
Distributed as a weapon, COVID being distributed as a weapon,
34:13
chemtrails being administered as a weapon.
34:17
The government would have to be in control of all of that stuff. Everything.
34:24
That basically means that the government is actively trying to kill its citizens.
34:33
And I just, again, again,
34:36
It's OK to have a healthy mistrust. Absolutely.
34:41
But to go that far is bonkers, in my opinion.
34:46
You know what I'm saying? It's like you got to use discernment.
34:50
You know, some things you can go. Oh, yeah, I could totally see that.
34:54
Other things is just like absolutely not lying about Roswell for all of these years in Area 51. No.
35:02
Sorry, people. No, it's cool for people who, because, I mean,
35:06
if you go to Roswell, I mean, they got the gift shops.
35:09
Oh, yeah, yeah. You're going to spend a group.
35:11
You know, stuff like that, that have kind of spawned out of it. Yeah.
35:15
It's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But these people that live their lives just beating
35:21
it upside everybody's head that it's true. It's like, hey, man, you need some help.
35:25
And then it's like, well, you know, they killed so-and-so to keep this a secret.
35:29
Like you were just saying, it's a military base. That's always my favorite.
35:32
Probably killed him because he didn't have no damn business being there.
35:35
Do not go past this gate. Why don't they want us to go past this gate?
35:39
Because it's a military base.
35:44
You can't go on any military base without authorization.
35:49
And if you try and strong arm your way, you're probably going to get hurt.
35:53
Or shot and killed immediately.
35:56
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not a conspiracy, it's just them doing their job.
36:02
And by the way, the experiment went on for 40 years.
36:09
The syphilis? Yeah. Oh, wow. 40 years.
36:12
And the only reason it was penicillin, what, 1940s, that could have treated
36:17
it, came out of the 1940s.
36:20
And for another 30 plus years, they were just like, nah. Well, 20 plus years.
36:26
So most of those people, if not all Could have been treated A lot of those men
36:30
died Yeah, a lot of them did die And again.
36:37
We know that this is how a lot of cures are actually discovered is they,
36:43
they get now, whether people are willingly participants or, um.
36:48
Know, they're just being duped. It happens. They kind of let diseases fester
36:54
and then they try and find a cure for them. It happens. Does it suck?
36:59
Yes, absolutely. It sucks. But that's kind of how a lot of discoveries are made
37:04
in the medical field. Absolutely. Unfortunately.
37:08
Is there a better way of doing it? I don't know. I hope so.
37:12
But that's kind of just the way it is at this point
37:15
i don't know bro any any any more you want to rapid fire through real quick
37:19
no i think i think we're good on my oh well i'm good on my end yeah yeah i am
37:24
i am also all right y'all well we're gonna leave our conspiracy theories right
37:31
there are popular conspiracy theories but,
37:34
if we missed out on some or there are some that you want to address hit us up
37:38
in the comments and we'll you know revisit it in a future show so yeah leave
37:42
us a comment tell us that we're off base or tell us, hey, did y'all hear about this conspiracy?
37:46
And if it's worth it, we might give it a shot on the show.
37:49
All right. With that, we're going to move right into our current event.
37:55
You got a current event you want to talk about, my brother? I do,
37:57
but it's going to be a mixture. It's going to be a current event and a rant. Yeah.
38:01
So I'm sure you've heard about the teacher that was killed with the senior prank. No.
38:08
So the teacher named Jason Hughes, He and his wife both taught at North Hall
38:14
High School. I think it's in Georgia.
38:17
So the story is senior prank gone wrong. Teacher was killed right in front of his own home.
38:23
Oh, wow. By five 18-year-olds. Oh, wow.
38:26
Like they jumped him or? No, no, no. They ran him over.
38:30
Oh, wow. So he came running out of the house to stop what they were doing.
38:36
Yeah. They were toilet paper. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:39
The front yard. And he tripped and fell.
38:43
Running into the streets and as they were leaving one
38:47
of the cars ran him over so it's it's
38:51
been it's been kind of making his rounds for the last you
38:54
know almost week uh you know with it and then this morning i see the headline
38:59
charges dropped so i immediately go what so i stopped what i was doing like
39:05
i was doing something i stopped and read the article so apparently he knew that
39:11
they were going to toilet paper the house.
39:14
So he was waiting. He just didn't know what time.
39:18
And he was going to run out, you know, and just try to stop him doing it.
39:21
Just ha ha, senior funny.
39:24
The family is behind and 100% supportive of these five 18 year olds charges
39:31
being dropped. And they were dropped.
39:33
They went to the prosecutor, charges dropped. So this lady lost her husband.
39:39
I think they had children.
39:41
So these children have lost their father.
39:44
That's the current event part. Here's my rant to Americans.
39:49
Bro, our school was pretty diverse. Black, white, Hispanic.
39:55
Can you recall anybody we knew or went to school with that was white or any
40:00
of the schools around us talking about TP in somebody's house?
40:05
No, I've only ever seen it on television and in movies. Yeah.
40:10
It's stupid. It's dumb. And it's going to get well, unfortunately, it got somebody killed.
40:17
Bro, do you know what I would do if I came outside and people would TP in my house in my front yard?
40:22
It'd be a problem. You'd see me on the news.
40:26
I don't I don't. Why were the charges dropped? Because they chalked it up as
40:31
an accident because he told the family, he told his family that he knew that somebody was coming.
40:38
So he was waiting and he was just going to go out, surprise them because they
40:42
didn't know that he knew.
40:44
But since he tripped on his own and fell, they're considering it an accident.
40:50
But here's my rebuttal to that Had he tripped and fell Into the street And y'all
40:58
wasn't there TPing his house He'd still be alive He might have a concussion
41:01
Maybe cut himself But you were there.
41:06
You're one of my oldest friends, my brother from another mother.
41:11
You know I'm a gun owner. If I'm sitting here feeling it around with my gun
41:15
and bang, it was an accident.
41:18
That's my boy. I love him. I'm still going to jail.
41:23
And if it ain't for a while, it's going to.
41:26
Well, if it's not for a long time, it's going to be for a little while until
41:29
they figure it all out. Right. I'm going to jail.
41:32
Oh, I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't get it. The accident part.
41:36
They say the family went to the prosecutor and was fully on board with them dropping the charges.
41:43
The teenagers and the one guy who had the promising football career who was
41:47
killed. Was it last summer or whenever it was?
41:50
That kid's in jail right now.
41:52
That was his boy. It was an accident.
41:57
If a felony is committed in commission of another crime, everyone goes down.
42:03
Now, if and this, although, quote unquote, harmless TP in somebody's house is
42:12
a crime and a felony occurred in the process of another crime.
42:18
Yes, they were all arrested. I understand that. But then the charges are dropped at the family's.
42:26
OK, who runs who runs the prosecutor's office?
42:30
The family? Exactly. Because the state. always has the right to pick up the charges.
42:36
Right. We can hear what you're saying. We don't want to ruin these five kids.
42:40
And I would even be inclined to agree with you at that point.
42:45
Maybe at 18, although you're still young.
42:49
You're not stupid. You don't go. I don't know, man. Senior prank.
42:54
We didn't do that. No, no, no. But but the fact that someone lost their life,
42:59
like you were just saying, a husband, there has to be consequences for this.
43:05
Whether whether the the action was unintended or not, there has to be some type of consequence.
43:10
Someone lost their life. Now, do I think these five kids set out to kill somebody? Absolutely not.
43:15
They're probably mortified. Right.
43:18
Their parents are mortified. Right. I'm sure they're crying somewhere right
43:22
now because they say he was a beloved teacher and everybody liked him.
43:25
But at the same token, when you're letting these people off this way,
43:30
what is that telling them?
43:32
Yeah. Not saying that they're going to go out and do something else stupid.
43:35
They might go on to live fulfilling lives. But you killed someone.
43:38
Well, I'm just sitting here thinking that everyone who's ever been convicted
43:43
of an involuntary manslaughter charge should immediately file an appeal. It was an accident.
43:48
Especially in that state. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Those guys got off.
43:52
What's up? And I had evidence that it was an accident. But you still gave me 15 years. Right.
43:57
Right. No misdemeanor. No criminal mischief. Oh, we.
44:02
Oh, we. That's a tough one. That's a tough one.
44:07
I'm a I'm a I'm a were you done with that? I'm going to stay local with my current event.
44:14
Just this week, the governor of Indiana partnered with Turning Point USA,
44:24
which if you're not familiar, is Charlie Kirk's crackpot organization.
44:28
Partnered with Turning Point USA to have chapters in high schools and colleges
44:39
across the state of Indiana.
44:42
What the hell for her?
44:45
I hate how Republicans try and wrap things up in a nice, soft package using Christianity,
44:56
using words like freedom to promote hate and bigotry.
45:02
And that's all Turning Point USA is.
45:07
They teach hate and they teach bigotry. Listen to their mission statement.
45:13
I'm not making this up.
45:15
There's. Yes, you have freedom of speech. First of all, you're not being oppressed.
45:22
No. Show me any white man. I'll show you someone who's never been oppressed, at least in America.
45:28
You've never been oppressed. You're not currently being oppressed.
45:32
No one's restricting your rights in any way, shape or form.
45:38
And for the governor to support this is a slap in the face when I can remember
45:44
just a few years back, all of the outrage,
45:49
the fake outrage about CRT, which was never taught in public schools, by the way. Any school.
45:55
Yeah. But all of the fake outrage about CRT being taught in schools,
46:00
critical race theory for those who don't know.
46:02
But you're sitting here championing, championing, whatever you're supporting
46:09
this crap. Knock it off, bro.
46:13
People of Indiana, we need to vote Mike Braun out.
46:19
I know I've said that previously. I'm going to continue. This guy is terrible.
46:24
We need to vote him out. He does nothing for Indiana.
46:29
Absolutely nothing. Nothing. He's one of the worst politicians I can think of.
46:34
And there are some bad ones.
46:36
This guy is all about profiting for himself and promoting racism.
46:43
That's all he does. Period.
46:47
And the fact that his lieutenant governor is who he is.
46:51
Another racist idiot. Tells you what type of politician he is.
46:55
This is who you picked. This is your guy.
46:59
And the fact that they, as you mentioned, their mission statement,
47:04
to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles
47:09
of freedom, free market, and limited government.
47:12
So those last two words, limited government, aren't you being supported by the
47:18
United States government? Correct.
47:20
Correct. They're behind you
47:22
100%. Correct. I mean, your new overlord is in front of people saying...
47:30
And what does she say? You need to stand up if you're a... Be a white male man
47:35
and be a leader, which is redundant to say white male man.
47:40
I love how the memes and the videos came out because people were...
47:43
They took it as she was saying, male man.
47:46
And man... Man, when look, first time I heard it, I was thinking the same thing.
47:50
I had to hold in my smirk. I'm just like, oh, wow, really?
47:54
You work for the post office now? We either persecute male, white male? Right. Right.
48:00
I say, I got to go talk to my mailman tomorrow. Hey, bro, you good?
48:04
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And just the fact that you can say that, though.
48:10
You let the cat out of the bag, as they say. You gave up the game, as they say.
48:16
You're about promoting white nationalism.
48:20
Just call it what it is. Well, you see that brother that was one of their,
48:24
he was a higher up at one of their chapters. And he resigned when a group chat
48:28
about neo-Nazi behavior and taking out black people.
48:33
Really? Yeah. Within turning point. Within turning point. Interesting.
48:37
It's a black dude. What was you doing there in the face of black?
48:39
That's what I was about to say, bro. Why are you there to begin with? Where your parents at?
48:44
Anybody. Ain't nobody told you, hey, man, this ain't good for you. This might not.
48:49
Put a turning point where we from. Go ahead. Yeah. We'll see what happens. Yeah.
48:54
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's my that's my current event.
48:58
And my call to action is whenever the election comes around,
49:03
we have to replace Mike Brown.
49:06
Send this to him. I don't care. I'm not a fan. We need to replace this clown.
49:13
With that being said, we're going to move right into our work,
49:17
our rant about a random topic.
49:20
You got to work or did you do it with your. OK, all right, cool.
49:24
All right. Well, I'm going to write about something.
49:27
Our very first episode that we did, and I'm not telling you guys to go listen
49:31
to it. I actually hate that episode.
49:35
But our very first episode of this podcast was about independent media.
49:42
When we did our Burn Hollywood Burn episode, we talked about black representation in media.
49:51
Need more black representation.
49:55
There are five black owned media networks, five, only five black owned media networks.
50:05
And people wonder why our stories can't be told,
50:10
why our perspective isn't out
50:14
there and it's it's it's for that very
50:17
reason now there are 20 other
50:20
streaming black-owned network so that puts us up to 25 19 total 19 what streaming
50:30
oh oh i'm off one i'm on i'm on i'm on i'm gonna wait i'm gonna finish okay
50:35
something that happened recently okay this had to be like really recently.
50:39
Okay. But, but my, my, my, my point is that's a small sample size for black media.
50:48
Know that magic sold aspire
50:52
i was very disappointed to hear that bob
50:55
johnson been sold mtv to viacom which is basically owned by white people so
51:03
even even networks that masquerade as being black owned are not really Black-owned,
51:12
which means that they have programming say-so.
51:20
If they don't like the messages being put out, they can easily just say,
51:26
we're not talking about that today.
51:29
And there you go. Your Black programming is done, kaput, over.
51:34
We need our own Black networks, y'all. All right?
51:39
I wish I had the money to start one. I start one tomorrow. But I'm just saying
51:44
we need our own black networks.
51:46
We need to support black media because this is the only way that a black message
51:52
is going to get out there,
51:54
which is why we do this podcast to try and give you things from a black man's perspective.
52:02
That's my right. Hit me. Hit me with your stat. So Paramount bought out Tyler Perry.
52:08
So he owns 25% of BET Plus So
52:11
they bought him out They're folding BET Plus
52:14
Completely And they're taking the programming Now you'll still be able to get
52:19
it But it'll just be Paramount Plus No catering towards Black No So they gave
52:26
him whatever they gave him I don't know what the dollar amount was But bought
52:30
him out He owned 25% of BET Plus Yeah.
52:35
It's shocking It's shocking,
52:37
And my wife and I were talking about this earlier. I mean, I know OWN is still out there.
52:43
Oh, yeah, yeah. But it's like, what are you doing? Where you at? Yeah.
52:48
Yeah. What are you doing? Like you just said, we know you're there,
52:52
but I should be like, I should be talking about you at least three to four times a week. Right.
52:58
Like, especially for us growing up, BET was a daily thing for us. Right.
53:03
Every day we watched BET. And then what did it do? it became a parody of who
53:10
black people really are.
53:11
It became shows where you find the most tomfoolery and nonsense and dress it
53:21
up as black people being independent because they can travel,
53:26
because they look good, because they dress well.
53:28
Yep yep and and yet there there's
53:32
no real hard-hitting consequential programming
53:37
for black people right all you see is
53:40
the foolishness yes news being told from a black when we were young you had
53:45
uh what's the pretty boy ed ed gordon yeah they did hard-hitting news jackie
53:51
reed did hard-hitting news on bet nine o'clock you know what i'm saying we had
53:56
like like the team summit stuff where they would.
53:58
Talk about hard-hitting issues that black
54:02
teens were going through and we tuned in
54:05
like we wanted to see and now we have nothing no
54:08
none of that anymore and i i gotta i gotta look this up but you know we always
54:13
diss on tubi because some of the black movies on tubi are just terrible just
54:17
wild i heard that it's owned by fox it is i think it is makes sense now makes
54:24
sense will greenlight all of these dumb,
54:27
terrible black movies because this is how we want black people to view themselves.
54:32
So, Tubi is owned by Fox. It was acquired in 2020 for $440 million. Mm-hmm.
54:42
Yeah, that's my work, y'all. We need more black media networks.
54:47
With that being said, we're going to move right into our five on the black hand side movie review.
54:55
And that movie is Friday, Friday.
55:03
Go ahead, bro. So, Friday released in 1995, co-written by Ice Cube and DJ Poop.
55:10
$3.5 million budget, which I know we talked about yesterday.
55:13
We weren't sure what it was.
55:15
Which I'm shocked it was that high. Yeah, yeah. But in the beginning,
55:18
I know it was going to be something where they thought they would have to fund it themselves.
55:22
And Ice Cube was going to look for other celebrities to invest.
55:26
But the movie's cast. You got Ice Cube as Craig. Chris Tucker as Smokey.
55:32
John Witherspoon as Mr. Jones. Willie Jones, Regina King is Dana Jones, Tiny Lister is Deebo,
55:42
Nealong is Debbie, Bernie Mack is Pastor Cleaver, and Faison Love is Big Worm.
55:50
Big Worm. I mean, Big Perm.
55:54
What's up, Big Perm? I mean, Big Worm. F. Gary Gray is director. Yep.
56:00
Little known fact, F. Gary Gray grew up on that street. Did this put him on?
56:05
Yes. Okay. Yes. Because he used to do videos. Right, right.
56:09
The street he grew up on is where the movie was filmed. Okay.
56:12
And that house belonged to a family friend of F. Gary Gray. Oh, wow. Interesting.
56:18
Yeah. That's what's up. Yep.
56:21
So 20 days to shoot it, most of Chris Tucker's lines in the movie,
56:27
improvised. Ad-libbed. Oh, wow. Ad-libbed.
56:31
The story of Craig getting fired for stealing boxes comes from a story that
56:35
somebody that Ice Cube knows told him.
56:38
Oh, interesting. That they got fired for stealing boxes.
56:41
Interesting. And of course, we know who he is, but Michael Clarke Duncan,
56:45
this was his on-screen debut. Yes.
56:47
And he was unlisted in the credits.
56:49
Well, there's different versions of the movie also, though, right?
56:54
There's like a director's cut with Megan Good as a little kid talking about Debo.
57:01
I forgot about Megan Good. And they're like, my daddy kicked his ass or something like that.
57:06
I hate him. My daddy kicked his ass. So, yeah.
57:10
But, yeah. So, so, so basically this movie is about Craig and Smokey.
57:16
Like you said, Craig gets fired on his day off.
57:19
For stealing boxes. For stealing boxes. And his dad is on his case about,
57:24
you know, you'd better find another job or go to school or you're going to have to get out.
57:28
And it's just a day in the hood and all the silly nonsense that two young black
57:35
men can get into just because they don't have anything better to do.
57:41
Bro, think about us at 16, 17.
57:46
Think about like some of the crazy. Matter of fact I know I mention this every
57:52
once in a while When I think about it But remember that night Me, you.
57:58
Somebody else went to that party in Cow City.
58:05
Don't tell me that wasn't one of the funniest nights. Like, everything.
58:09
Oh, man. My cousin. Me and me and a clown up in there. Everything weird that
58:15
could happen in the house. Yeah.
58:18
Happened that night. The fact that there was a barbecue grill on the sidewalk.
58:23
Yeah. With pork chops that look like they've been on there for like 12 and a half hours. Yeah.
58:27
And they won't, because I went back the next day. They were still on there.
58:31
I believe it. The next day. I believe it.
58:33
I believe it. That chicken thigh was sitting in that grease.
58:38
And it's just like, did you even turn the grease on? Like, what is this?
58:42
Man, that fool laid on that. Man.
58:45
And act like he. Man.
58:48
Yeah. Yeah. That's why Friday was so relatable. No, for real.
58:52
Because days like that. Yep. Have happened. Yep.
58:56
Yep. just out the blue is just like what in the
58:59
world is happening here so so
59:04
we were talking about the cultural effect that
59:07
new jack city had last week which it did i think friday may have had an even
59:13
bigger cultural effect bro well it was one of the first movies out of especially
59:18
coming out the west coast that didn't show us violence yeah and gang i mean
59:22
it showed a little bit but right Right, right, right. It made to be fun.
59:25
Right, right, right. It was one of the first movies that didn't give us all that gloom and doom.
59:30
Right, right, right. And I mean, just...
59:34
Gosh, I'm just going to try and like name some of those cultural lines that
59:38
no matter who you are, if you've seen the movie, you recognize.
59:42
Y'all don't never got two things that match. Yes.
59:45
Ham. No burger.
59:50
By Felicia. By Felicia. Right.
59:54
That you got knocked out. Right. Right. Just Debo, period, is is a legendary
1:00:00
character. Everyone knows who Deebo is now.
1:00:03
For all the roles that Tommy Tiny Lister played, Deebo is probably his most
1:00:08
recognizable role. Before that, it was Zeus.
1:00:11
It was Zeus, correct. Back in the 90s. Correct. That was the 80s.
1:00:15
80s. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's in Fort Hulk Hogan, the rest of the night there. Yeah.
1:00:19
You got the legendary John Witherspoon. Rest in peace.
1:00:24
That bathroom lecture. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Somebody open the window.
1:00:29
You ain't got no job you ain't gotta worry about catching a dog you gotta worry
1:00:33
about a dog catching your ass.
1:00:38
Oh man yeah yeah just the whole stanley part of it and stay off my grass you
1:00:44
know we grew up with people like that in our neighborhood that were adamant
1:00:49
about being uh don't walk on my grass corner of tapper and lions for sure for
1:00:53
sure cut across that man grass and yeah don't and Mr. Cesar was coming out there.
1:00:58
Oh, yeah. All the time he coming out. Hey, walk on the sidewalk,
1:01:02
you fella. And you wouldn't dare say nothing to him. No, sir.
1:01:06
Mr. Cesar was in great shape. Sorry about that. Yep.
1:01:09
Mr. Cesar was probably 70 years old. He run around the park 10 times and not even break a sweat.
1:01:16
Mr. Cesar was in great shape. Come out there, body slam your ass. Hey, for real, though.
1:01:21
But you know what? I also like about Friday is how serious it got at the in
1:01:26
when he did finally fight Deboa.
1:01:30
And the whole, don't shoot them. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Fight with your hands.
1:01:36
Don't shoot them. I was like, okay, this guy, this guy real serious now. Like, oh, wow.
1:01:41
It addressed domestic violence. Yeah. Yeah.
1:01:45
And standing up to it. And standing up to it and standing up to the neighborhood bully.
1:01:49
And the fact that you don't have to solve everything with a gun.
1:01:53
Right. You know, he told him, hey, we fought. And if you lose,
1:01:57
you live to fight another day.
1:01:59
That's real. Say, I'm a man without it.
1:02:03
Yeah. Say, you think you're a man with that gun. Yeah. I'm a man without it. Yeah, prove it there.
1:02:09
Prove it. Yeah, yeah. Friday is a classic, y'all.
1:02:13
I know we've been giving it away like the last few movies that we've done,
1:02:17
but that's because they've been classics.
1:02:19
New Jack City is a classic. Friday is a classic. Something else about the Felicia character.
1:02:25
They didn't want to give her the position because apparently she came to the
1:02:29
read looking like a supermodel. I was about to say she was probably too pretty.
1:02:35
And that's why they gave her men's clothes.
1:02:38
That makes sense. Yeah. So they said, well, how can we make her not look so pretty?
1:02:43
Yeah. So they put her in oversized men's clothes and, of course,
1:02:45
her hair. Yeah. You know, which is wild. Yeah. Yeah.
1:02:50
Don't you ever come over here again? That's what she said. I need to borrow
1:02:55
your microwave real quick.
1:03:00
Here's something that a lot of people miss, bro. We didn't even mention Paula,
1:03:04
bro. How do we not mention Paula?
1:03:07
Paula J. Parker. She was Craig's girlfriend.
1:03:11
How do we not mention her? But yeah, when she calls Craig.
1:03:17
Who you was at the movie with? It's a dude laying next to her in the bed.
1:03:22
In the bed, yeah. That's wild.
1:03:25
She yelling at him about messing around, and she got a dude laying in the bed
1:03:30
with her. That is crazy, bro.
1:03:33
Yeah, her character was wild. Yeah. And, of course, Miss Parker.
1:03:39
Yeah. Dog, you know, Bernie Mac is passed. Mm-hmm. John Witherspoon is passed. Mm-hmm.
1:03:47
Tommy Tiny Lister has passed.
1:03:49
But Nicole, is it Nicole Parker? The one he called Freddie Jackson? She passed also.
1:03:56
Yeah, yeah, I remember when she passed.
1:03:59
Yeah, yeah, she passed also. And it's just like, wow, man. So a conspiracy kind
1:04:05
of go along with the episode.
1:04:07
I saw a video where somebody said Bernie Mac showed up to cheat with Ms. Jones.
1:04:15
And they just threw him in the movie? No, no, no. Think about it.
1:04:19
Craig's supposed to be at work.
1:04:20
Oh, he was about to be with her. Oh, I got you. I got you. Cable man coming.
1:04:27
I got you. Somebody got to be home.
1:04:31
Got you. Because if Craig wasn't going to be there, she would have had to come
1:04:34
home. Mr. Jones, he dog catch. You don't know where he's going to be.
1:04:38
So Bernie Mac didn't just happen upon the street. He pulled right up in front
1:04:43
of the Joneses. Yeah, yeah.
1:04:45
It was only when he saw Ms. Parker, he was like, you know what?
1:04:47
Let me go get some praise and worship to Ms. Parker.
1:04:50
Oh, wow. I never thought about that, bro.
1:04:53
That's interesting. You know, we didn't talk about Ezell. He also passed.
1:04:57
Yeah. We didn't talk about Ezell, also a legendary character,
1:05:01
Anthony Johnson. We got a lot of characters.
1:05:04
Yeah. We have Gary Graywood making his appearance debut.
1:05:08
Megan Good. Yeah.
1:05:11
DJ Pooh getting knocked out. Dub C. Dub C. Jumping out the van with that Uzi.
1:05:19
Renardo Ray. You want some, old man? Oh, man. No.
1:05:23
Well, I don't know why you come down here messing with these people.
1:05:29
Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah, bro. Just just yeah, just just a classic of a movie, man. It really is.
1:05:38
Mr. Parker is past Ronnie Cox. Yes. Yeah.
1:05:42
What's a small person? What's the.
1:05:46
What was the old boy name that smoke? He was smoking the weed with and they
1:05:50
put angel dust in it. What was what was the old boy name?
1:05:53
Hector. Hector. The Mexican. Yeah. Hector. that might be his dialogue his,
1:06:01
the reenactment of what happened might be one of the funniest things in any movie ever.
1:06:07
Cause on that full set, I woke up the next day and Debo's chicken coop.
1:06:11
Right. I was so high. My mama had to come get right.
1:06:15
What? Right. Why does Debo have a chicken coop? Right.
1:06:22
Debo got a chicken coop. Right. Right. In the middle of the hood. Yeah.
1:06:27
Well, out West, it wouldn't surprise me. Yeah.
1:06:32
But yeah yeah you're right so something
1:06:38
i usually do in the beginning but i missed out on it domestic u.s and canada
1:06:43
made 27 and a half million worldwide it only made 28.2 so overseas it only made
1:06:51
less than a million dollars everywhere else in the world outside of the u.s and canada,
1:06:58
I wonder though If that's due
1:07:02
to marketing Oh yeah for sure You know what I'm saying Because they are,
1:07:08
That's one of the reasons to get off topic But that's one of the reasons Why
1:07:12
there was some nervousness About the success of Black Panther Because they didn't
1:07:19
They didn't know how it would track With overseas markets.
1:07:24
So, yeah, it's that trope that black movies don't do well overseas, et cetera, et cetera.
1:07:31
And so they don't promote them. And Black Panther was the one that kind of came
1:07:35
and knocked that off the map. So now they have no reason to not promote black movies anymore.
1:07:41
Well, think about Star Wars with Finn, how they were taking him off the promotional.
1:07:49
In China, he was basically non-existent. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
1:07:53
yeah. they moved him from all of the promotional materials and stuff.
1:07:58
China's been known to do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:08:02
So, like we said, y'all, this is a classic.
1:08:05
We don't need to even go into the 5, 3, 2, there is no rating.
1:08:12
Friday is a classic. All-time classic. All-time great.
1:08:15
And all three of them are great.
1:08:19
I heard that they're trying to do another. I don't know how.
1:08:23
It's been great. Oh, really?
1:08:25
Yeah. I don't want to see it. Well, here's why I don't want to see it.
1:08:29
Because it's going to be shot in a different format.
1:08:31
It's not going to be... It's going to look like coming to America looked.
1:08:36
Because to me, every movie now looks like a made-for-TV movie.
1:08:41
Or it looks like it's made for streaming. It doesn't...
1:08:44
I think you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. It's just different now.
1:08:48
And I don't like it. So, so, so Smokey and Day Day is going to be in this one, right?
1:08:55
Yeah. Yeah, I don't. Yeah, I'm good.
1:08:58
I mean, I'll probably watch it when it comes on cable or something like that,
1:09:01
but I'm not, I'm not that I'm not spending any money to go see it. I'm good on it.
1:09:06
I imagine the jokes probably just won't track anymore.
1:09:09
I don't know what type of, oh, excuse me. I don't know what type of drama 350
1:09:15
year old men can get into. Yeah.
1:09:18
At that point and just like they would have to make
1:09:21
it similar to their adults
1:09:24
now they have children sort of like barbershop three
1:09:28
when it was more about the kids getting into trouble then
1:09:31
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah because it's just
1:09:34
i mean don't get me wrong there are still some guys our age that
1:09:36
are immature but we could probably name about
1:09:39
10 of them yeah yeah yeah but at the same time at
1:09:42
some point it's just like most most people
1:09:45
aren't behaving in that manner once
1:09:48
you get to a certain age the silliness kind
1:09:52
of just stops i got time yeah yeah yeah
1:09:55
yeah yeah so so so anyway friday is a classic i think you agree oh yeah absolutely
1:10:01
so that's our five on the black hand side movie review friday is in our classic
1:10:07
status just like new jack city and with that But we're going to move into our closing monologue.
1:10:13
My brother, take it away. Appreciate it.
1:10:16
So we hear the word Semitic.
1:10:21
Constantly in the news today, usually as a political label.
1:10:25
But if we're being honest, we've let that word become a lot smaller than it actually is.
1:10:30
If you want to know who the true Semitic people are, you have to look past the soundbites.
1:10:35
It all started 5,000 years ago, the Levin and the Arabian Peninsula,
1:10:41
in the Levin and the Arabian Peninsula.
1:10:44
These were the proto-Semites. They branched out and built the world.
1:10:48
We're talking about the Akkadians, the Venetians, who gave us our alphabet,
1:10:53
the Hebrews, the Arabs, and the often forgot about Ethiopians.
1:11:00
For sure. Now, here's where it gets interesting.
1:11:04
Today, we use the term anti-Semite almost exclusively to describe hatred towards Jewish people.
1:11:11
And that is a real and vital issue.
1:11:14
If you look at the history, it's a bit of a linguistic trap.
1:11:19
Think about the rhetoric we've heard from the president over the years,
1:11:22
the comments about Ethiopia or the broad strokes used against people in the Middle East.
1:11:28
If those people are, by definition, Semitic, doesn't that make him anti-Semitic?
1:11:36
In the political world, the answer is usually no. But in the world of history
1:11:41
and DNA, the answer is absolutely.
1:11:43
So, my point is this. When we use these words as weapons, we're ignoring 5,000
1:11:49
years of shared ancestry.
1:11:51
We're talking about a cultural thread that ties the Middle East and Africa together
1:11:56
in a way that modern politics just can't handle.
1:11:59
Maybe if we understood that the word Semitic is a big ancient tent that includes
1:12:06
all of these people, we'd stop letting politicians use it to keep us divided.
1:12:12
All right, y'all. That concludes this episode of For The Fam Podcast, episode 25.
