  Turn the volume up so it's loud and clear. A podcast where we talk about politics and culture.

  Six mil, keeping it true. It's your boy, KG. What's up with you,
• 0:33

• 0:34
  Good. A little tired. Went to bed late last night, playing around on the phone.
• 0:39
  Looked up, dog. It was 2 o'clock in the morning. 2 o'clock in the morning.
• 0:43
  I couldn't tell you the last time I stayed up that late. I ain't even gonna lie to you, bro.
• 0:47
  I ain't doing a bunch of nothing. I don't even remember what I was looking at.
• 0:49
  Just scrolling and laughing.
• 0:52
  Yeah, but was it fun? Were you enjoying yourself? I don't remember.
• 0:55
  I felt like... No, that's hilarious.
• 0:58
  When I woke up this morning, the phone was by the window.
• 1:02
  Oh, wow. So I must have rolled over and it hit the wall or something. But yeah. Yeah.
• 1:08
  Yeah, yeah. I feel you. So welcome to episode 10 of For The Fam Podcast, y'all.
• 1:14
  No, we getting there. We trying to be consistent as far as our uploading schedule and everything.
• 1:19
  So continue to tune in. Give us a like. Give us a share.
• 1:24
  Subscribe all of that good stuff so uh what you want to get into today bro want
• 1:29
  to talk about assigning value um nothing in particular just overall you know
• 1:35
  different different aspects of life assigning value whether it be economic whether it be culture,
• 1:43
  um art as you mentioned a little while ago so social value so on and so forth
• 1:49
  with the Key word being value.
• 1:54
  Right. Which is subjective. Correct.
• 1:56
  Value means different things to different people.
• 2:00
  So I guess that's sort of what we want to get into is, you know,
• 2:05
  how how the term value is applied.
• 2:10
  And I guess, you know, how it's assessed. Right.
• 2:14
  All right. Cool. Well, go ahead, bro. Let's get into it. So one of the things
• 2:18
  that I know I always tell the kids and I know they used to get tired of me saying
• 2:23
  it just because something doesn't mean something.
• 2:26
  Just because it doesn't mean something to you doesn't mean doesn't mean something to somebody else.
• 2:30
  You may think something is silly. Right. You may think something is stupid.
• 2:33
  You can even have an opinion on it. But at the end of the day,
• 2:36
  the value in whether or not they should go to college or not,
• 2:41
  whether or not they should take that job, whether or not they should date that person,
• 2:46
  start a family, it's on them.
• 2:49
  It's what's valued to them, not what is valued just to you. If that makes any sense.
• 2:58
  Like valuing other people's perspectives.
• 3:03
  Opinions is on the tip of my tongue which i just said it but
• 3:05
  i didn't want to say opinions because you don't have to value other people's
• 3:10
  opinions especially if they're silly ones but yeah i i get it just just how
• 3:15
  how you you know like you were saying just because it's not important to you
• 3:19
  does not mean it's not important to them so yeah i get that i get that sure sure sure just,
• 3:24
  perspective and all of that kind of stuff sure,
• 3:28
  I'll give you an example. Recent. I didn't finish school. My brother didn't
• 3:32
  finish school. College, y'all, college, not high school.
• 3:35
  My sister never went to school. She did go to cosmetology school.
• 3:39
  So technically, I guess, you
• 3:41
  know, she did finish. Man, my nephew graduating college was huge. Sure.
• 3:48
  You know what I mean? That's my nephew. Obviously, I was proud of him,
• 3:51
  but I didn't realize how proud I was of him.
• 3:56
  And now I've got two, another niece and nephew that are going to graduate here
• 4:01
  shortly within the next two years or whatnot.
• 4:05
  That value is like, I didn't realize how valuable it was.
• 4:10
  Well, it makes me think of those old commercials where the person would buy
• 4:17
  two or three random items and then at the end they'd go spending time with Family Priceless.
• 4:26
  MasterCard. Oh, is that what I'm like? What product was that? Okay.
• 4:30
  Yeah. So it makes me think of that. And yeah, it's just one of those things
• 4:36
  where it's just like, it's so personal.
• 4:41
  If that's the right term for it, I mean, like you said, it's important to you.
• 4:47
  You feel great about that. But to somebody else, it's like, yeah.
• 4:53
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you going to do with it?
• 4:56
  Doesn't doesn't matter that's that's my sister's boy yeah
• 5:00
  she was happy she cried she right you know right we
• 5:02
  were all happy right just to see him accomplish that yeah
• 5:06
  that's that's that's huge and yeah no nobody should
• 5:09
  knock that it's a huge accomplishment it's a huge step in
• 5:12
  that person's life yeah that's that's
• 5:15
  that's what's up i'm i'm gonna i'm gonna jump all
• 5:19
  over the place as i often do if you
• 5:22
  listen to the podcast it's to go
• 5:25
  back to what you were saying a few weeks ago when we
• 5:27
  were talking about sporting contracts and
• 5:31
  you said that you're as valuable as someone is willing to
• 5:34
  pay you worth what they want to pay you yeah
• 5:37
  yeah yeah that can apply to so
• 5:40
  many different things other than just athletics you know
• 5:43
  what i'm saying whether it's a a rug
• 5:47
  a persian rug that you know i may
• 5:50
  think is ugly somebody else may look at
• 5:53
  this rug and go yeah that rug five thousand
• 5:56
  dollars so at that
• 5:59
  point it's now worth five thousand dollars
• 6:02
  but i'm going i wouldn't give you five dollars for this
• 6:05
  piece of shit and it
• 6:07
  is it's crazy to me how subjective like the word value actually is when you
• 6:13
  think about it in retrospect like we were talking about art yeah which is sort
• 6:18
  of the same as the rug right yeah take someone like john is it john Paul or
• 6:24
  Jean-Pierre? Basquiat.
• 6:26
  Pierre. Okay. Am I tripping? I don't know. I think we both are.
• 6:30
  Anyway, Basquiat. Y'all know who we're talking about. Somebody correct us. Right, right, right.
• 6:35
  I don't think his art was particularly good. That's just my personal opinion. But it was valuable.
• 6:42
  And it's just, I mean, to me it looked elementary. It looked like something
• 6:47
  a fifth grader could do. And it's just like,
• 6:51
  Somebody else was going, this is great. I want to pay $10,000 for this piece.
• 6:56
  And it's like, are you serious right now?
• 6:58
  You remember the dude that went into the museum and put the pair of shoes in
• 7:02
  the ceiling and walked away?
• 7:04
  And people started like crowding around, looking at it and was interested in it.
• 7:08
  It was just a pair of shoes. He just took them off, set them on the floor and walked away.
• 7:13
  We're both comic book fans.
• 7:16
  Think about the rabbit in the snowstorm painting that the Punisher likes.
• 7:21
  Not the Punisher. The Kingpin likes. The Rabbit in the Snow.
• 7:25
  It's just a white canvas.
• 7:28
  Loves it. Loves it. Stares at it. Stares at it. It's just a white canvas.
• 7:33
  There's nothing to look at.
• 7:36
  But he loves it. And it's just like, are you serious?
• 7:42
  That's his, you know, people have places that they go where they can clear their
• 7:46
  mind. Yeah. For him, it seems like that's what it is.
• 7:50
  What we're doing right now, we're podcasting. As of right now,
• 7:55
  there is no monetary value.
• 7:59
  But for you and I, this is quite valuable. Absolutely.
• 8:05
  Now think about somebody like Joe Rogan or what's to call her daddy. Yeah.
• 8:11
  How much their podcasts are worth. and we're doing the exact same thing.
• 8:18
  So it is really, in a nutshell...
• 8:22
  You're as valuable as the next man is willing to pay if you're only looking
• 8:28
  at it from a monetary standpoint.
• 8:31
  Whatever the next man is willing to pay, that's your value.
• 8:35
  I don't know which one carries more weight. Is it the sentimental value,
• 8:39
  which you can't put a price on sentimental value?
• 8:42
  Or is it? Well, in America and capitalism,
• 8:46
  of course, most people are going to say it's the monetary value
• 8:49
  but i mean which one
• 8:52
  is it you know what i'm saying it's a it's a it's a
• 8:55
  either or in my opinion one of my favorite podcasts sports
• 8:58
  podcast i mean you hear me reference it all the time if most
• 9:01
  people listen to that podcast they go yo man this is the silliest crap i've
• 9:05
  ever heard in my life how can you how does how does this dude finish number
• 9:10
  one and number two in sports podcasting in the united states every single week
• 9:14
  than the stout like People have been riding with that crew for 20 years, so you get used to it.
• 9:21
  But I'll admit, when I listen to it some days, I'll be like,
• 9:24
  yo, what are we talking about?
• 9:27
  None of this makes any sense. But to me, I had a point in my life where I couldn't
• 9:32
  function if I didn't listen to that podcast. Oh, wow.
• 9:36
  It was that valuable to me in my day-to-day, especially when I was doing all that driving. Yeah.
• 9:42
  It was extremely valuable to me. Yeah.
• 9:45
  And if I didn't listen to it, I felt like my whole day was ruined. Yeah.
• 9:50
  But other people would be like, nah, dog, that's a stupid podcast.
• 9:54
  Don't listen to it. Has no value to them. Interesting. Interesting.
• 9:59
  To spin this in another way, since we're talking about podcasts, right?
• 10:05
  Is a lot of success kind of based on luck and like the podcast atmosphere?
• 10:10
  I mean, like, yeah, cause there's a lot of great that no one listens to.
• 10:15
  Podcasts that no one listens to. Right.
• 10:17
  So, so is it kind of like just luck and you getting lucky and the right person
• 10:20
  hears it and goes, I'm going to make you an offer.
• 10:25
  And now you're on crooked media or you're on range media or I heart or whoever,
• 10:30
  you know what I'm saying?
• 10:32
  Picks you up. So yeah, it's, it's just like, what do we do with value in America?
• 10:38
  It also boils down to the people around you. How valuable is it to them?
• 10:44
  Is it valuable? Is this podcast valuable enough to be like, you know what?
• 10:49
  Here, take a listen to this. I want you to hear this.
• 10:52
  This is my friend or this is, you know, my cousin or whatever. So it's also about.
• 10:59
  What the fans want or people like, are you giving them something that they're
• 11:04
  going to tune into every single week?
• 11:06
  You have to make it valuable to them. So at that point, do you start catering
• 11:11
  your show to the fans or do you stick to what your true intentions were?
• 11:18
  Because that's how you ultimately built a fan base. Us now?
• 11:24
  No, we stick to what we do. Sure. maybe 20 years ago
• 11:27
  we probably would have been like all right yeah we'll
• 11:30
  adjust it a little bit yeah yeah i'm not willing
• 11:33
  and i know you're not not willing to well let's
• 11:35
  talk about this right let's start talking
• 11:38
  about the kardashians no right right right i'm good no i feel that yeah yeah
• 11:43
  yeah definitely definitely which is an avenue that we could easily go down yeah
• 11:50
  you know what i'm saying silly not yeah you're right but but but Lord forbid,
• 11:57
  we could be the liberal version of a Charlie Kirk if if we wanted to go down
• 12:05
  that avenue, you know what I'm saying?
• 12:06
  And I mean, just say all type of extreme stuff, but with a liberal.
• 12:11
  Point of view on it and then privately not not
• 12:14
  any of that there you go right there
• 12:17
  that that part but you know what the difference is a lot of our friends are
• 12:20
  calling us hey man what the hell y'all talking about i
• 12:24
  don't know damn well y'all don't believe this right right right so it's yeah
• 12:28
  yeah it's so it's so say weird in america how we assign and how we assess value
• 12:36
  and and like i said in a because we are on a capitalism,
• 12:43
  economic system, capitalistic economic system, excuse me, y'all.
• 12:50
  Everything is mostly going to be about the money. Does this make any money?
• 12:55
  That's how most people are going to place their value, which is kind of why
• 12:59
  we're in such a bad place right now, because the money is basically overriding everything.
• 13:09
  People look at some CEOs like they're good people and we value your opinion,
• 13:16
  yada, yada, yada, because they're the boss, because they have a lot of money.
• 13:20
  Look at some, excuse me, someone like Jeff Bezos.
• 13:24
  You're kind of a douchebag. Elon,
• 13:27
  you're a douchebag. But because you have money, your opinion has value.
• 13:34
  Your opinion has influence.
• 13:37
  But you're a scumbag doesn't make you a good person. But so many people would
• 13:42
  be way more interested in hearing their opinions than they would are.
• 13:47
  Exactly. Yeah, exactly. And only because they have money, not because they're
• 13:52
  any smarter, but because they have money.
• 13:56
  But the second we got that money opened up a studio, then people will start
• 14:01
  paying attention. Yeah, right.
• 14:04
  But of course, it's always been that way. it's just
• 14:07
  social media you know as great as it is
• 14:10
  it's happening you know it's also detrimental
• 14:13
  you know it it gives people speaking
• 14:17
  of value people value just some of
• 14:20
  the things they see on social media and and the
• 14:23
  value they give it when in your mind
• 14:26
  you're just like yo that that's brain rot like
• 14:30
  just i don't know dog well i
• 14:33
  mean it it goes back to what we were just saying though at the
• 14:36
  beginning to us it may be brain rot to
• 14:39
  them maybe it's therapeutic maybe i
• 14:43
  mean i i have to admit i never got
• 14:46
  the whole cat video oh yeah
• 14:49
  phase that that people were i gotta watch some cat videos and
• 14:52
  i'm like but what the hell for i never got it but to them if it was therapeutic
• 14:58
  go with it if that stopped you from taking your gun and you know going and doing
• 15:04
  something stupid yeah then watch as many cat videos as you like please,
• 15:11
  right.
• 15:13
  So it's just I don't know bro do we want to twist this and talk about social
• 15:21
  values we want to talk about political values I mean.
• 15:26
  Yeah okay let's go for it yeah I mean with political value it seems like Thank you.
• 15:36
  The demand for tangible value in exchange for political support is just wild.
• 15:43
  Sell your soul to the devil. Right now.
• 15:46
  Sell your soul to the devil, basically, which is what a lot of them are doing
• 15:49
  at this point. Especially with everything going on right now.
• 15:53
  We got somebody stepping out from the shadows, donating $130 million to gain
• 16:01
  fame, to gain value with their dollars.
• 16:04
  Sure. to pay the military how about y'all just reopen
• 16:07
  the government right what do you think that
• 16:10
  130 130 million is gonna turn turn into a
• 16:13
  favor it's gonna turn into a favor for sure some some some some type of kickback
• 16:18
  remember remember when i broke you off yeah i'm gonna need this yeah and i got
• 16:23
  i got more to say about that later on okay okay cool but it's it's just it's
• 16:29
  just wild to me. Oh, I can just buy this.
• 16:34
  Yeah, I'm going to make this valuable.
• 16:37
  Well, when we have a corrupt leader and a whole bunch of corrupt cronies Take that word leader out.
• 16:49
  It is it's so easy to do now
• 16:52
  in in in previous administrations you
• 16:56
  would have got told to kick rocks with that 130 million or
• 16:59
  if you didn't we wouldn't know about
• 17:03
  it right don't make it right because taking a right is right right right but
• 17:08
  yeah i'm just gonna go ahead i hand the open oh you give me 130 appreciate it
• 17:13
  yeah yeah it's wild it's wild it's wild what we've become And quickly.
• 17:22
  It's only been 10 months. It's only been 10 months, bro.
• 17:27
  Dude, I almost threw my phone. Like, I ain't gonna lie.
• 17:31
  Almost threw it against the wall the other day. I got so mad.
• 17:35
  Like, I had to reset my whole algorithm.
• 17:39
  Because I was getting, like, the same videos over and over. Just not,
• 17:42
  you know, stuff I didn't want to see. And I'm just like, you know what?
• 17:46
  I can't even watch this no more.
• 17:50
  So peace of mind there is no price for peace of mind and you know they say more
• 17:57
  money more problems i don't know i don't have any money i would like to know
• 18:02
  one day but i'd like to find out yeah for sure you know what i'm saying,
• 18:08
  that, that what's, what's, what's really valuable.
• 18:12
  I guess it's the question I'm getting to is what's really valuable is your core
• 18:17
  family values, your, your, your moral values in the end. Is that more important?
• 18:24
  Does that carry more weight or does your worth carry more weight?
• 18:29
  And, and, and, and I, I guess that kind of decides what type of person you are.
• 18:35
  You know, if, if, if you're a person who
• 18:38
  you know your family and relationships
• 18:41
  and social justice and how
• 18:45
  you treat people and how others are treated if that
• 18:48
  means more to you then you fit in this category and if monetary value and just
• 18:57
  money and more more more more more more more if that's what you value and that's
• 19:02
  the type of person you want to be, you fit into this category.
• 19:05
  One of these categories are douchebags.
• 19:08
  I'll let y'all decide which one.
• 19:12
  I was talking to one of the kids this morning. We were talking about he was
• 19:17
  mentioning how some of his friends' point of view is really just their parents' point of view.
• 19:22
  And all of my kids and anybody around me knows that, yes, I preached what I felt in my home,
• 19:29
  but I also explained even at a young age
• 19:32
  the kids knew why I felt the way I felt it wasn't
• 19:35
  just yeah this is how we are as a family right this is how you're supposed to
• 19:39
  believe this is what you're supposed to believe this is what you're supposed
• 19:42
  to think because there are you know one or two of the kids that have differences
• 19:45
  of opinion on certain things the way I feel I'm more empathetic to certain things
• 19:49
  than one of the other kids and be like nah I don't nobody they don't get empathy for that.
• 19:55
  Whereas I feel differently. But I would never beat it upside his head.
• 20:00
  No. No, no. You need to feel this way.
• 20:03
  Or you're a jerk.
• 20:05
  No, you want to encourage people.
• 20:10
  Free thoughts, free thinking.
• 20:14
  What am I trying to say? Anyway, independent thought. That's it.
• 20:17
  You want to encourage independent.
• 20:19
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been a long day, y'all. Forgive me.
• 20:23
  You want to encourage independent thought and you want your kids to make up
• 20:29
  their own mind when it comes to things, right?
• 20:31
  No one wants like a robot, what they call it, automaton. mind.
• 20:35
  Nobody wants that. You want them to be different, but you hope that the values
• 20:40
  that you try to instill in them somehow takes effect and has a little bit of
• 20:47
  sway in their decision making. And that's all you can hope for.
• 20:51
  You know what I'm saying? I mean, because in the end, they're going to be adults.
• 20:55
  At some point in their lives, they're going to be adults and
• 20:58
  you want them to be independent and not have
• 21:01
  to call on you or ask you
• 21:05
  for every little thing and what should I think about this make up
• 21:08
  your own mind yeah because I ain't got nothing yeah yeah yeah make up your own
• 21:11
  mind so so that's that's that's how we feel about value y'all I know it kind
• 21:16
  of seemed like we were disjointed and rambling but just take a step back you'll
• 21:22
  understand what we're trying to say so with that being said let's move into some current events,
• 21:27
  What you want to talk about as far as current events, bro?
• 21:29
  Oh, man, I want to talk about the 90,000 square foot ballroom.
• 21:36
  Have at it. A football field is 56,000 square feet.
• 21:41
  The last major retail store I worked at before they air quotes laid us off, fired everybody.
• 21:50
  That store was like 62,000 square feet.
• 21:54
  Massive. 90? The White House is less than 60,000 square feet.
• 22:00
  Who are you going to invite?
• 22:01
  What are you doing? What are you doing?
• 22:04
  Look you're never going to have that many people in there
• 22:07
  to fill that ballroom and i know it sounds like we just we say we're not going
• 22:11
  to be talking about politics all the time and so on and so forth but the disdain
• 22:17
  we have for this person is is it's hard not to talk about it but and i'm not even particularly a.
• 22:25
  Don't support the government no gung-ho no that's
• 22:29
  just no we are no but man to see
• 22:31
  an entire wing just get demolished just get demolished without the approval
• 22:38
  of anyone this is the people's house it's not your house dude what you're gonna
• 22:48
  do people's house you're gonna have all gold everything Right.
• 22:51
  You're going to have. I mean, just gold is gaudy. It was gaudy in the 90s when
• 22:56
  we wore it. It was gaudy in the 80s when we wore it.
• 22:58
  I feel like the people if if if if you're going to subvert Congress,
• 23:03
  I feel like before any bulldozer even pulled up on that street on 1600 Pennsylvania,
• 23:10
  the people should have had to say so.
• 23:12
  Because it's just like so what's
• 23:16
  next i and i mean like literally what's
• 23:19
  next if you're gonna let this dude come
• 23:22
  in and just destroy part of the white house a
• 23:25
  his story and and keep in mind y'all had
• 23:29
  a democrat done this republicans would
• 23:32
  be going the hell off it'll be on every channel all day every day they'd be
• 23:38
  trying to get somebody impeached that that part is the part that really is infuriating
• 23:45
  is the oh we what's the word i'm looking for now.
• 23:52
  Capitulation. I mean, they just let this dude do anything he freaking wants
• 23:57
  when a good portion of it is probably illegal.
• 24:01
  A good portion of it, they know they would not be this silent about if a Democrat was doing it.
• 24:07
  That's the part that's infuriating is just the blatant hypocrisy of it all.
• 24:12
  But my bad, because this is your current event. No, no, no. But I think another
• 24:16
  thing that, And I know I said 90,000 square feet.
• 24:19
  Now, realistically, they're not going to build a 90,000 square foot ballroom.
• 24:23
  You're just not. You're going to build a 30,000 square foot ballroom.
• 24:26
  You're going to build offices.
• 24:28
  You'll probably rebuild the historic theater that was there.
• 24:32
  But what he does is he makes it sound like he's going to build one big ballroom
• 24:35
  and tick people off and have all the rage.
• 24:39
  When in reality, it's something completely different.
• 24:43
  You know what I mean? Yeah. It's just it's rage baiting. For sure.
• 24:46
  It's what he does for sure so but at
• 24:49
  the same time like when they
• 24:52
  went when i saw pictures of like a wall being torn
• 24:55
  down i was like all right i mean whatever
• 24:58
  and then i didn't pay attention for like a whole
• 25:01
  day and looked up and saw satellite imagery it looks
• 25:05
  terrible the whole wing yeah it
• 25:08
  looks horrible bro right above the bunker and
• 25:11
  for what as well yeah yeah good
• 25:14
  point and and and and and and
• 25:17
  for what though no one wanted this except
• 25:20
  for you this is nothing but a vanity project this adds
• 25:24
  no value to the white house no value
• 25:27
  to the american people it's pointless he's liable god i hope somebody step in
• 25:34
  he's liable to make this completely different like it'll be like purple yeah
• 25:40
  or like he'll probably have a big trump logo on the outside of it. What's the limit, bro?
• 25:47
  What's when, when is enough enough? When do these bums go? All right,
• 25:53
  bro, you're doing too much.
• 25:56
  And down the White House, I think would... Because if I'm his homeboy... Bro, what?
• 26:04
  What you on right now? Everything that you do, I'm pulling you to the side going,
• 26:08
  hey, do you realize what you're doing?
• 26:11
  You sure you good at this? Before, bro, what? You really about to bulldoze part of the White House?
• 26:18
  Come on, man. Knock it off. Call me a plan. I'm going back home.
• 26:24
  I don't want no part of it. parts of that. You good on your current event, bro?
• 26:29
  Yep. Yep. All right. Well, I want to get into local current events, sort of local.
• 26:36
  Now, last podcast, we were talking about gerrymandering and voting in local
• 26:42
  elections and all of that good business.
• 26:44
  Are you aware, which it won't happen, but are you aware of these idiots in Illinois
• 26:50
  who are trying to move parts of Illinois to Indiana.
• 26:59
  In order to offset J.B. Prisker, who's trying to offset the governor in Texas
• 27:06
  with all of this gerrymandering stuff.
• 27:08
  It's so it's so crazy to me, bro. And it's just like how how how can you not
• 27:14
  say that you're trying to rig an election when you're sole purpose of wanting to join Indiana?
• 27:24
  Those however many counties, your sole purpose is to join Indiana so Indiana
• 27:29
  will get more Republican seats.
• 27:33
  That's just the bottom line, point blank, period.
• 27:37
  How can you not say it's a free and fair election at that point?
• 27:41
  And here's the stupid part.
• 27:43
  Some of the counties are on the west side of Illinois, not even close to the Indiana border.
• 27:50
  And then there's one that's up, not
• 27:54
  quite you know past Lafayette but it's
• 27:57
  one that sits all by itself a little
• 28:00
  further north and that's cool y'all want
• 28:02
  to come over here that's cool make Lake County part of Illinois yeah cool simple
• 28:07
  as that because if y'all moving these counties over here I'm moving back home
• 28:11
  right and I'll just be a part of Illinois so I got to deal with this nonsense
• 28:14
  right at the end of it right right the whole thing just freaking is just like.
• 28:23
  First of all, like the Supreme Court, they're they're the reason for all of
• 28:27
  this, because they could have put the the the kibosh on all of this. We just said no.
• 28:32
  But but all of this states rights mess and we're going to leave it up to them.
• 28:37
  It's just like, see what you started. Now, where does it end?
• 28:41
  So especially in the red states, because you're going to get I mean,
• 28:45
  we've got a ridiculous governor, even more ridiculous lieutenant governor.
• 28:49
  Bro there are
• 28:52
  two blue counties two marion
• 28:55
  and lake two blue counties that's it
• 28:58
  you got the whole state you got seven of the nine seats there's nothing left
• 29:06
  to gerrymander bro what i mean seriously do you want an all red state yep it's
• 29:10
  just like which will never happen well County and Lake County will,
• 29:14
  will, will never happen.
• 29:16
  But it's just like, there is no logic behind this other than you want to rig an election.
• 29:26
  That's all it is, which is why I'll reiterate, vote in local elections.
• 29:33
  It's so important, people.
• 29:35
  It's so important. The federal government cannot tell a governor or a state,
• 29:43
  let me put it like that, to redraw the maps.
• 29:46
  That is the governor's decision. It is a state process, period.
• 29:54
  Trump can call and say, hey, can you do this? All the governor has to say is no.
• 29:59
  There was a Republican here this morning. I forget his last name.
• 30:03
  That flat out came out and was like, no, I'm voting no. If there's ever a vote
• 30:08
  to redraw the districts, I'm voting no.
• 30:10
  Yeah. And that's my stance. He said that this morning.
• 30:14
  It's different if the population changes. Yeah. So then, you know, it expands.
• 30:21
  Sure. Let's have a look at that. Maybe this isn't being represented properly,
• 30:26
  but for the sole purpose of we want more house seats.
• 30:31
  No, absolutely. It shouldn't be allowed in Texas.
• 30:35
  It shouldn't be allowed in California. I get Gavin Newsom just trying to offset.
• 30:40
  It shouldn't be allowed in Ohio.
• 30:42
  It shouldn't be allowed in Indiana. It shouldn't be allowed in Illinois or anywhere else.
• 30:50
  Unless it's that time to do it. Right.
• 30:53
  And you have to have a valid reason, like a population change,
• 31:00
  a demographic change, not just the sole purpose of we want more seats in the house.
• 31:07
  But this is what, again, we were talking about political value and how people
• 31:12
  are just selling their souls.
• 31:14
  This is what we've devolved into.
• 31:17
  Do you value? We value Winnie. We don't value the rule of law.
• 31:21
  We don't value the people's opinions. Oh, the law and order president don't
• 31:25
  value the rule of law? What?
• 31:28
  My son, that's new to me. Ain't it, though? It's so weird, ain't it?
• 31:32
  Even though it's been going on since before you and I were born. Yeah.
• 31:35
  Think about that, dawg. He got his first lawsuit before we were born. Think about this, bro.
• 31:42
  You're the law and order president, but every time you get a ruling that's not
• 31:47
  in your favor, you want to appeal.
• 31:50
  If you're the law and order president, at that point, you're going to law spoken.
• 31:55
  Done. They didn't vote in my favor.
• 31:59
  It's a non-issue. No, I'm going to appeal.
• 32:02
  I'm going to move it up to the Supreme Court, which is totally feckless because
• 32:06
  they're completely partisan at this point.
• 32:09
  You're not the law and order president, dude. You're the law
• 32:12
  and president when it suits you when
• 32:16
  it doesn't suit you you don't give a shit about the
• 32:19
  law at all and and your
• 32:22
  actions prove it daily i had
• 32:26
  another current event but uh i'm just
• 32:28
  i'm getting i'm getting i'm getting so worked up on oh my
• 32:31
  my gosh man i think maybe we
• 32:34
  touched on it or maybe that was before we started record but
• 32:38
  the freaking boats being blown oh
• 32:42
  yeah and it's there's i
• 32:45
  mean call it what you want at the end of the day it's murder it's it's
• 32:48
  you're killing people in international waters without due process and i wouldn't
• 32:54
  care if this was biden clinton obama jimmy carter i don't care right what are
• 33:00
  you doing what are you doing because then if venezuela if uh If they launch
• 33:05
  some missiles at one of our ships,
• 33:07
  we'd be sitting around here going, I can't believe they did that. Really?
• 33:12
  There is no proof, one, that there were any drugs on any of these boats because
• 33:17
  you're basically blowing them to smithereens.
• 33:20
  There is no proof that any of these guys were drug dealers.
• 33:26
  There is no proof that they were even on their way to America because they're
• 33:31
  in international waters at that time.
• 33:35
  There is no proof of anything.
• 33:38
  And we're just supposed to take your word, believe you. Can you imagine a husband
• 33:43
  and a wife deciding to have a nice evening out to sea, go out there with a steak dinner?
• 33:49
  And get blown up. Drop anchor and get blown up.
• 33:52
  It's crazy. Because that's what's happening. It's crazy. It don't matter what
• 33:56
  type of boat you're taking.
• 33:58
  It's crazy. And, you know, I may be speaking out of turn or speaking crazy.
• 34:02
  No, none of it's crazy, though. But what's up with these dudes that's actually pressing the button?
• 34:07
  Well that's why the one dude quit last week because he's like I can't be a part of this but yeah,
• 34:16
  sir that's an unlawful order I'm not doing it and you can't be held accountable
• 34:21
  for that you can arrest me, you can throw me in the bridge but I'll beat it,
• 34:25
  I'm not about to kill some people and I don't even know what this is what's
• 34:30
  our evidence? what's the intel?
• 34:33
  And here's the really scary part.
• 34:36
  Coming to a city near you. That's the real scary part. Who's to say these fools
• 34:42
  just don't start killing people?
• 34:44
  He was this. He was that. No evidence. He was a drug dealer.
• 34:48
  He was Trendy Arague. He was MS-13. He was a terrorist.
• 34:54
  Ice is being basically turned into his own personal brown suit militia.
• 35:01
  So give him some time. I mean, hell, well, Stephen Miller said on whoever show
• 35:06
  he was on yesterday or whenever, he said that, he said, I want to make it clear.
• 35:10
  If you are ICE, you have federal immunity.
• 35:15
  Anyone, state, local, whoever gets in your way.
• 35:20
  Who gave him that power? He did, because he's really running the show.
• 35:23
  He is, but he said you have federal immunity.
• 35:27
  If anyone gets in your way to stop you from doing your job.
• 35:31
  Because, see, here's the problem, too, that I don't think a lot of people understand
• 35:34
  and should be talked about.
• 35:36
  Them police officers, whether it be Chicago, Portland, wherever,
• 35:39
  y'all live here. Right. They're going to leave eventually. Right.
• 35:43
  This is the community you patrol. Right. So now you have no trust in this community.
• 35:49
  Somebody kills somebody and you go knocking on doors, nobody going to talk to
• 35:53
  you because you didn't have our back.
• 35:55
  You weren't protecting your city. And I don't think people understand that.
• 35:59
  I can hear people now listening to this going, well, you know,
• 36:04
  they're the police. You should just, that's not how that works.
• 36:07
  The federal government just coming into a town telling local police officers,
• 36:11
  this is how it's going to be? Nah.
• 36:14
  Oh, boy, doesn't have the authority to say that he did, though.
• 36:18
  He can he can say it until he blew in the face. But until a judge says it. Yeah.
• 36:23
  It don't mean jack shit. What word does a judge have now? Yeah.
• 36:27
  But let's find out Tuesday or Monday when she ordered the head of the Border Patrol.
• 36:33
  You saw that the lady in Chicago, the judge. She ordered him to appear in court
• 36:36
  Monday morning at 10 a.m.
• 36:39
  Because he threw that, uh, that tear gas. OK. She ordered him to appear in court Monday.
• 36:45
  Let's see if he show up. Fantastic. Fantastic.
• 36:48
  The other thing I'm going to quickly touch on, the No Kings rally.
• 36:53
  It was great to see so many people support. Wouldn't it be a lot more meaningful
• 36:58
  if they were registering people to vote?
• 37:00
  I mean, just showing up and protesting and being angry, that's all well and
• 37:06
  good, but it's not enough.
• 37:08
  What did you really do to move the needle forward? report.
• 37:13
  Register people to vote. Next time you have a No Kings rally,
• 37:18
  register people to vote, please.
• 37:21
  Please. Don't just show up, be angry and then go home. That's not enough.
• 37:27
  I think the only angry people out there were the damn police.
• 37:30
  Well, yeah, that part. Everybody else was just marching and dressing up in silly
• 37:34
  costumes and whatnot, which is fine. I mean, that's going to sound condescending,
• 37:39
  but, you know, it's all tiring, man.
• 37:44
  Well, we're in extreme times, so in extreme times, we need extreme measures.
• 37:52
  So I say do it all.
• 37:55
  Whatever, whatever, no holds barred. Go for it.
• 38:00
  Without being violent, go for it. You know, whatever it takes, y'all.
• 38:05
  Whatever it takes without being violent, whatever it takes, you know. So no Kings rally.
• 38:12
  You know, the mayor in Chicago was talking about a general strike and people
• 38:16
  just keeping their money. Go for it.
• 38:18
  I don't know how realistic that is. You know, you're talking about people not going to their jobs.
• 38:23
  I don't know how realistic that is. I mean, people got bills to pay.
• 38:27
  You got a mortgage to pay.
• 38:28
  I don't know how much support you're going to get for something
• 38:31
  like that but i'm with the canceling the
• 38:34
  holidays thing man you already know how i feel
• 38:37
  about it yeah keep your money in your pocket yeah yeah keep
• 38:40
  your money in your pocket you want to put up a tree put up a tree whatever you
• 38:43
  have on hand already go ahead do your thing yeah yeah so i saw a lady made made
• 38:49
  a couple of good points online when she was talking about thanksgiving and christmas

• 38:57
  Yep. But all that Black Friday, like you already got a house full of big screen TV. Yep.

• 39:27
  was already on the wall and the other room and then they brought two more with them.
• 39:32
  We got a 50-inch and a 42-inch just sitting there.
• 39:37
  Imagine me going out and be like, yeah, I'm going to go ahead and grab this 80-inch. Right.
• 39:42
  Not because I need it, but just because. Because it's on sale.
• 39:46
  Hey, man, I'll never get it this price again.
• 39:50
  Okay. All right.
• 39:53
  Now you're trying to sell the other one and ain't nobody going to get you more
• 39:57
  than $300 for it because they can just go buy their own.
• 40:00
  That part so you can buy 70 inch now
• 40:02
  for like less than 500 that part right there that part you're trying to get
• 40:07
  rid of tv that you're gonna have to get rid of for 50 in order to sell it because
• 40:10
  anybody else like man i just go to the store and buy one give it to a neighbor
• 40:14
  give it to a relative you need a tv yep yep that part all right bro so uh let's get into our work,
• 40:21
  our rant about a random topic everyone's favorite segment what you want to write
• 40:27
  about bro or you want me to go yeah all right all right cool cool cool well
• 40:31
  because we're in the spooky season,
• 40:35
  even though i don't celebrate halloween or any holiday for that matter i'm gonna
• 40:40
  talk about something spooky or kind of spooky relatable put it like that you
• 40:45
  believe in witches no not at all.
• 40:50
  About people who practice witchcraft are they considered a witch and what do i mean by that,
• 40:57
  people who call themselves witches you
• 41:00
  know they charge their crystals in the moonlight all
• 41:04
  that type of business i just look at people like that and call them weird well
• 41:08
  they would say that they're witches though you know what i'm saying or or or
• 41:13
  or uh a voodoo a voodoo priestess or Or, you know, people who, you know,
• 41:22
  practice voodoo or hoodoo or whatever you do. To me, it's all boo-boo.
• 41:29
  But, you know, they would consider themselves to be witches, bro.
• 41:33
  So, do you, do you, do you, you don't, you say no? You're not a witch?
• 41:40
  Interesting. Interesting, bro. So, I actually have been inside of a voodoo store.
• 41:47
  Not because I was shopping, y'all. Not because I was curious.
• 41:51
  It's part of my job. I have to do it. I know exactly what story you're talking about. Yeah.
• 41:56
  And so it's like, yes, I'm with you.
• 42:00
  Generally speaking, I don't believe in any of that kind of stuff,
• 42:03
  but I think we have to acknowledge that these people exist, man.
• 42:09
  You know, they we were just saying about value. If they think that they're literally witches.
• 42:17
  I don't value that.
• 42:25
  Man.
• 42:30
  I don't know man it's where we're at though I guess
• 42:34
  like when people used to like when we were kids and of course we've mentioned
• 42:38
  it in a couple episodes before we lived through the whole satanic panic nonsense
• 42:43
  in the 80s and early 90s and you know people were just behaving and acting like
• 42:49
  hell we had primetime specials,
• 42:52
  for Gerardo for sure,
• 42:54
  talking about this type of stuff because parents was legitimately my parents
• 42:59
  weren't But legitimately worried about this stuff. You know how many times I've
• 43:04
  played with a Ouija board?
• 43:06
  A lot? Yes. Really? Yeah. I've never played with one.
• 43:11
  Just a board with something. And half the time, we was just making jokes and laughing.
• 43:18
  And you know what happened after that? We went to sleep. And then we woke up the next one.
• 43:24
  Bloody Mary wasn't in the mirror. I remember the Bloody Mary.
• 43:27
  Now, that scared the shit out of me. That shit is scary, bro.
• 43:30
  I think that was part of what made Candyman so scary because it sort of played
• 43:34
  on the whole Bloody Mary thing.
• 43:35
  Now, I know I sound like a hypocrite right now, but stuff like that,
• 43:39
  when we were kids, it was scary. Yeah.
• 43:43
  But people say, I'm going to put a hex on you. Go ahead.
• 43:47
  You say, no, it ain't going to happen. What about reading palms and psychic
• 43:53
  readings and all of that kind of stuff?
• 43:57
  Negative on that? I think especially when it comes to psychic,
• 44:01
  I mean, being someone who's addicted to true crime,
• 44:05
  I've seen so many cases with psychics step in and try to help And for the most
• 44:10
  part, they're literally stepping in to try to just help.
• 44:14
  But man, some of these cases like famous cases, you know, kids being kidnapped, so on and so forth.
• 44:19
  Some of these psychics come forward and just milk the police department,
• 44:24
  have them going all these different directions, putting their name out there, being on the news.
• 44:28
  What was the lady used to be on Montel Williams all the time?
• 44:31
  I know you're talking about, but I can't call her name.
• 44:33
  Sylvia something. Sylvia Brown or something like that. Like.
• 44:39
  You do some research on her you'd be like oh
• 44:42
  she's a con lady like dude
• 44:45
  she was so full of it and there's
• 44:47
  so many people that went after her and sued her
• 44:50
  for just all types of stuff but i but again it's like you said if they enjoy
• 44:57
  it and it keeps their mind free and it gives them something to do i'm never
• 45:02
  going to be outside of their store saying which go home because it's not of my business.
• 45:08
  But yeah, if you come trying to read my poems, I'm like, man,
• 45:11
  go somewhere with that nonsense.
• 45:12
  My whole thing is, especially with like mediums, how do you know that you're
• 45:18
  talking to whatever ancestor that they claim that they've conjured up? How do you know?
• 45:25
  And whatever you had to say to them, why didn't you say it to them?
• 45:29
  Say it when they were alive.
• 45:31
  What are you asking them? Hey, Okay.
• 45:35
  Where's that pot you had?
• 45:40
  I can't find my fathead screwdriver. What did you do with it before you passed?
• 45:45
  Remember that cast iron skill set you left?
• 45:47
  Well, one of the pots is missing. Yeah. Keep telling me who took it.
• 45:50
  Yeah. What are you really going to ask him?
• 45:54
  And if being dead is supposed to be a resting state, why in the hell are you bothering me?
• 46:03
  Leave me the hell alone. I'm not answering. Right. I ain't home. Right.
• 46:07
  Leave me the hell alone. I'm asleep. Leave me alone.
• 46:11
  Yeah. I'm not. That's that's funny. That's that's funny because I'm supposed to be resting.
• 46:17
  Yeah. You got somebody bothering me. Right.
• 46:20
  Right. Or supposedly bothering me because you don't know.
• 46:23
  Even if if you do, which I mean, I say this in the loosest terms,
• 46:29
  y'all, because I don't believe it either.
• 46:31
  But even if you do happen to conjure up a spirit, you have no idea who you're talking to.
• 46:39
  You have no idea that they have good intentions.
• 46:43
  None whatsoever. You could be conjuring up any anybody, anything, any.
• 46:52
  But first of all, you want to get in on this, bro? You got you got you got you
• 46:56
  got to work because I don't go ahead.
• 46:59
  I ain't gonna stop it. all right so true story my grandmother which we called
• 47:05
  her madir so the whole tyler perry thing wasn't new on me the whole i know exactly
• 47:09
  what that meant we called my grandmother madir,
• 47:12
  but she would always tell us that sort of like the sixth sense little boy she
• 47:18
  could see dead people they uh i watched that again the other day by the way
• 47:23
  great great great freaking movie But yeah,
• 47:26
  she called it being born with a veil on her face.
• 47:30
  That's some down South, like I said, hoodoo, voodoo, you do, whatever.
• 47:35
  So she always claimed that she could see dead people.
• 47:41
  It's like why are you telling me this i'm seven i now i gotta go in here and sleep in this room,
• 47:47
  and it's dark as hell i don't i don't want to hear yeah
• 47:50
  because when you're at your grandparents house ain't no leaving no light on yeah i
• 47:53
  don't want to hear all this and then she had like those old
• 47:57
  the oh i forget the the famous uh she was a female artist painting the the the
• 48:03
  people with the really big eyes you know what paintings i'm talking about and
• 48:08
  the artists i'm talking about it was like really popular she had like some of
• 48:12
  those spooky well to me they were spooky anyway,
• 48:15
  paintings like on the walls and stuff and just like these white people with
• 48:19
  these big old eyes and it just like happy halloween y'all psych.
• 48:29
  Hey but that's a true story though she did used to say that and it's just like,
• 48:36
  Did you or was it all just something to talk about? You know what I'm saying?
• 48:42
  It is just is it's kind of interesting, but at the same time,
• 48:47
  you remember them all them down south stories. Yeah.
• 48:51
  If you're supposed to be in a resting state, what are you doing up walking around?
• 48:57
  Yada, yada, yada, yada. You know, it's just like now you're supposed to be dead.
• 49:01
  You're supposed to be. I felt bad for Patrick Swayze. man got killed couldn't
• 49:05
  even couldn't even rest had to solve his own murder had to solve it had to go
• 49:08
  fight and kill this boy and man all kind of stuff just a terrible terrible afterlife man no rest.
• 49:20
  Also a great movie yes i also bring
• 49:23
  that up because as you know we talked about it what last
• 49:27
  week mm-hmm do you know that's all that's
• 49:29
  been on my algorithm on youtube i have to say i haven't
• 49:32
  reached i ain't looked up nothing about patrick swayze but
• 49:36
  then ghost pulls up on my youtube like he's listening to you oh but that ain't
• 49:40
  the first time that i get so much i guarantee you something on my youtube algorithm
• 49:44
  over the next two or three days is gonna come up about something we talked about
• 49:48
  that's weird bro it's it's strange but i mean we've we've given in to these devices,
• 49:55
  they say that they're always listening that's why i've never had a lexa bro
• 50:00
  but the thing is right now well me either but like right now we got the mic
• 50:04
  on yeah we got this plugged into the ipad right it's listening right because
• 50:10
  we're talking exactly so it's definitely interesting interesting,
• 50:15
  all right that's all that's all
• 50:16
  i got for a right bro uh you got you got anything you want to write about?
• 50:21
  Nah, that would be like another 45 minutes. You sure, bro? Yeah.
• 50:26
  Alright, alright, cool, cool, cool. Alright, I guess we're gonna move on to
• 50:30
  our next topic then, which is five on the blackhand side.
• 50:35
  You got what you watched recently oh man
• 50:39
  see i watched to be moved i have not watched any to be movies oh my goodness
• 50:44
  uh i've i've i've recently watched him but you still haven't seen him yet have
• 50:51
  you no okay um so i don't i don't i won't i won't talk about that and i watched uh,
• 50:57
  one battle after another i watched that recently y'all so that's right yeah
• 51:00
  we did both both Both movies are good, but you still haven't seen that one either,
• 51:04
  right? Okay, so we won't talk about those either.
• 51:07
  Oh, man, let's go with a classic again, man. Let's go with Baby Boy.
• 51:13
  Oh, baby boy. Baby boy. Starring Tyrese and Ving Rhames and AJ Johnson.
• 51:22
  And was this our introduction to Taraji? Was this our first,
• 51:26
  like, breakout role? I think breakout role, yeah.
• 51:30
  Yeah, yeah. The other gooding brother. No, I ain't going to do it. No, man. Omar.
• 51:35
  Hey, I like Omar more than I like Cuba. And they ain't even going to mix words on that.
• 51:43
  You know, I didn't realize how far apart they were.
• 51:47
  In age? Like 16 years. Oh, really?
• 51:49
  Yeah. I didn't know that. He did an interview and they were talking to him about
• 51:53
  something with his brother.
• 51:54
  He said, man, by the time I was coming of age, my brother was already grown,
• 51:58
  making movies and long gone out the house.
• 52:01
  He's like, I didn't grow up with my brother. Interesting. I didn't know that.
• 52:04
  Me either. They did not grow up together. I did not know that either.
• 52:08
  There so what is baby boy
• 52:11
  about i mean shoot the name says
• 52:14
  it all but i think that i think the
• 52:17
  movie got a bad rap so it's basically him doing a bunch of we got two two women
• 52:24
  pregnant yeah no job side hustles coming of age story for for for for a young
• 52:31
  black male because you and i both know plenty of dudes who lived that life growing up. For sure.
• 52:37
  Which I think why it resonated so much. Because I'm like, oh,
• 52:40
  that's such and such. For sure.
• 52:43
  Him and his buddy going out, getting revenge on somebody in the movie, on Snoop's character.
• 52:51
  I forgot. How did I not mention Snoop? Snoop's character finally having a breakthrough
• 52:58
  moment with his mother's boyfriend.
• 53:00
  Great scenes between him and Ving Raines, man. Taking that gun from him.
• 53:05
  That was real. Yeah. That was so real.
• 53:09
  Yeah. Yeah. I like, to be honest, I thought, I mean, no diss to Tyrese.
• 53:17
  I thought he was kind of a punk.
• 53:18
  But Omar killed that role, bro. Omar and Ving Rhames. But Omar killed that role, bro.
• 53:27
  Yeah. Tyrese's character was more like a straddling in between. Yeah.
• 53:33
  A tough guy. Because he wasn't no punk. Yeah.
• 53:36
  But at the same time, he had his moments. He wasn't a gangster.
• 53:39
  He wasn't no killer. Right. Right. Until he was.
• 53:43
  But when... Wait. No, he wasn't.
• 53:47
  Mm-mm-mm. Tyrese didn't kill Snoop.
• 53:51
  He didn't kill him. What you mean? Omar Gooden killed him. Oh,
• 53:55
  yeah, but he was shooting, too.
• 53:58
  But remember, he told him, finish him. Yeah. And he hesitated.
• 54:01
  And then Omar Gooden was just like, pop, pop, pop, pop. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 54:05
  But oh, yeah, the shooting part, though, yeah. Yeah, I think Tyrese just shot
• 54:09
  him in the leg. He was like, blah!
• 54:11
  He just shot him in the leg. So as great as that movie, I can't meet.
• 54:15
  This is just me because I pay attention to stuff like this.
• 54:19
  We also have to go back to how horrible Snoop was in that movie as an actor.
• 54:28
  Rodney. But we also got to do the funniest scene.
• 54:32
  When he got up and kicked that little boy's fort over I laughed so hard.
• 54:39
  And the reason I've done it because I've gotten mad at my kids and kicked the
• 54:42
  fort or two over. Get these damn pillows up.
• 54:50
  Oh man yeah i think that
• 54:53
  movie showed the world just how skinny snoop was
• 54:56
  he had on that wife beater it was like man
• 54:59
  this dude is a skeleton but i was very shocked and of course that's when that
• 55:05
  movie came out when i was still married so we watched that movie like crazy
• 55:09
  just like love and basketball you know those types of movies we watched all
• 55:14
  the time but baby boy I enjoy it.
• 55:17
  Dude, I like Baby Joy. Look, I like Baby Boy way more than I like Boys in the Hood.
• 55:23
  And I don't even think they're close.
• 55:26
  You know, I like the father and son dynamic between Tyrese and Ving Range,
• 55:34
  even though it was mostly a confrontational relationship.
• 55:40
  Adversarial relationship, I guess is a better word. I still...
• 55:45
  Like, being Reigns in a roundabout way, teaching him how to be a man.
• 55:52
  Like, you need to grow up, dude. Like, what you on right now, this ain't it.
• 55:57
  Like, that ain't grown man business that you're handling.
• 56:01
  Like, you're still a little boy. Like, come on. Come on, man.
• 56:04
  Like, I can't help you unless you let me.
• 56:09
  And seemingly kind of getting through to him at the end. Yeah.
• 56:12
  You know when he rolled up we left out his mother's house
• 56:14
  and started playing i forget the song that was on and he was like you don't
• 56:18
  know nothing about that yeah yeah yeah rams and this boy i think it was could
• 56:22
  it be all falling in love i think i think that was the song but yeah but yeah
• 56:27
  man it's a it's a it's a scene bro when uh before they start selling the dresses i think.
• 56:35
  And him and Omar just at the little swap meet, strip mall, whatever, and they talking.
• 56:42
  And Omar say something like real aggressive.
• 56:46
  And Tyrese jumped back, dude. And I'm like, did he not know?
• 56:51
  Like they didn't rehearse. Like, did he not know he was going to say that or
• 56:54
  what? He jumped back like dude was about to smack him or something.
• 56:57
  I'm just like, oh, wow. I think that was like a genuine moment caught on film
• 57:01
  where he didn't know he was going to snap that hard.
• 57:05
  Them fools in that park. When he was socking him? I said, no,
• 57:09
  man, you got to get it like this. Wow.
• 57:13
  He said, you mean to tell me this little dude's teeth is harder than your fist? Hit him again.
• 57:21
  Then he took his belt off, started whooping him. He was like,
• 57:23
  oh, you got some heart. He was like, all right, then. He pulled his belt off,
• 57:26
  started whooping him. Yeah, man.
• 57:29
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, man.
• 57:32
  P? Between P? And Veen Reigns, those were my favorite characters in that whole movie, man.
• 57:40
  Like, even when he got into it with his girlfriend and her mama.
• 57:45
  Y'all want me gone? Forget it, I'm out of here. I'm leaving.
• 57:49
  He came right back. Man, I love y'all.
• 57:52
  Yeah, yeah, I remember. Okay, yeah, yeah. I love y'all. I love your daughter.
• 57:57
  I love y'all. The dynamic with them was crazy. Yeah.
• 58:02
  I ain't got nowhere else to go, y'all. All my family. I love y'all.
• 58:06
  I'm like, yeah, that, that's, that's, that's. Hey, we do some cats like that
• 58:10
  too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it was.
• 58:14
  Opinion, and this is probably why I like it more than Boys in the Hood.
• 58:19
  Baby Boy was more genuine depiction
• 58:22
  of young black males and what they go through than Boys in the Hood.
• 58:27
  I feel like Boys in the Hood had a couple of fantastic scenarios in it.
• 58:35
  And I'm not saying it couldn't happen.
• 58:37
  It was just like, most of the time, it ain't going down like that.
• 58:41
  That's kind of like with Friday. you know minus the shootout scene
• 58:45
  and whatnot chilling on the porch yeah
• 58:48
  you know how many times i done sat on the
• 58:50
  porch how much sillies 13 14 hours
• 58:54
  go by and it's it's two people then it's five people right then you got a couple
• 58:59
  people in the yard remember they were slap boxing right that used to happen
• 59:02
  all the time right people slap box and then somebody make a run to the stoke
• 59:06
  yeah some food yeah somebody runs the state line to the liquor store yeah Yeah,
• 59:11
  that was every day for us.
• 59:14
  Off topic, but two movies that I give credit to, no matter how bad they were,
• 59:23
  just for the pure genius of the marketing and the budget.
• 59:28
  Friday, because like you said, the whole movie basically on the front porch.
• 59:32
  If it's not on the front porch, it's on the block. They never leave the block.
• 59:37
  They didn't spend no money to make Friday. But you want to know what my all-time favorite?
• 59:44
  The original Blair Witch Project.
• 59:50
  Genius. We can go outside right now and run through the woods in the back of
• 59:56
  my house and make Blair Witch Project and spend no money.
• 1:00:02
  Never have to show the monster.
• 1:00:05
  Just pretend to be scared. I'm like, this is freaking genius.
• 1:00:08
  Now, I think the movie sucked, but I'm like, but this is genius.
• 1:00:12
  And the thing is, too, is that this was before social media.
• 1:00:14
  So if you watched it and you weren't like, let's just say,
• 1:00:19
  abreast to everything that was going on and you just watch it you're like
• 1:00:22
  yo yeah what happened to them it's like
• 1:00:25
  oh that's just a movie yeah but they did try
• 1:00:28
  and market it as a true story though which i think kind of misleading and but
• 1:00:33
  but still i think what it made like a billion dollars or something like that
• 1:00:36
  i don't know if it made that much but it made a lot of money and they probably
• 1:00:40
  spent what 10 15 grand to make that and i ain't gonna lie like when i first
• 1:00:44
  saw it i was intrigued i'm like yo this is crazy.
• 1:00:48
  Genius but we got way off top we supposed to be talking about baby boy sorry
• 1:00:53
  y'all so yeah like I said baby boy starring Tyrese, Ving Rhames Taraji P. Henson A.J.
• 1:01:02
  Johnson, Snoop Dogg Omar Gooding very good coming of age movie about young black
• 1:01:08
  males and the hardships they go through just,
• 1:01:11
  trying to make it you know in that what say probably what 18 to probably what 20,
• 1:01:16
  22, 23 age you know what i'm saying so so
• 1:01:19
  yeah go go go check it out john singleton

• 1:01:47
  And if you're confused on where to find Baby Boy, just turn on BET on the weekend, I'm sure.
• 1:01:53
  Hey, for a stretch there, you're right. It was on every weekend,
• 1:01:58
  bro. I remember one time just going through channels.
• 1:02:00
  I was like, damn, Baby Boy, didn't I just go through here yesterday?
• 1:02:04
  I'm like, Baby Boy was on yesterday. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:02:07
  Honestly, other than other than Marcellus in Pulp Fiction.
• 1:02:14
  This might be my favorite Ving Rhames performance.
• 1:02:19
  Me. So yeah, Marcellus, and I don't think you've seen it yet, Holiday Heart.
• 1:02:26
  No, I haven't seen it. Where he was the drag queen? I've never watched it.
• 1:02:31
  Really? Oh, that movie's great. Now, my wife has seen it, and she was telling
• 1:02:35
  me, and she says like real touching, like crazy emotional.
• 1:02:39
  Oh, yeah. At the end of the movie, if you ain't doing this a couple times,
• 1:02:42
  wipe us some tears. No, that movie is great. Okay, all right. And funny.
• 1:02:47
  Okay. All right. I have to check that out.
• 1:02:50
  All right. So we're going to leave that there for now and move right into our closing monologue.
• 1:02:56
  My brother, take it away. Thank you.
• 1:02:59
  All right. So we talked about it a little earlier about the ballroom and whatnot.
• 1:03:05
  So Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Palantir, I believe that's the way you say it,
• 1:03:11
  and T-Mobile are all helping to fund this ballroom at the White House.
• 1:03:16
  I can't help but ask why. These are not acts of generosity. They are investments.
• 1:03:23
  Big tech does not just hand over millions of dollars without expecting something in return.
• 1:03:28
  And let's be real. Palantir alone has pulled in 800 million in federal contracts
• 1:03:34
  this year, and now they're cutting a check for the White House.
• 1:03:38
  It's not charity. Charity, it's strategy.
• 1:03:41
  Google's YouTube is donating $22 million, and I'm using air quotes.
• 1:03:46
  It's being billed as a charity But it's actually tied to a legal settlement
• 1:03:51
  After YouTube banned Trump's account
• 1:03:53
  Back in whatever year it was It's a transaction dressed up as a charity.
• 1:04:00
  Problem is, is this blurs the line between public service and private interests.
• 1:04:04
  The people's house, our house, shouldn't be built or beautified by corporations
• 1:04:08
  who will eventually use it to buy favor or influence.
• 1:04:12
  Because once you let the money in the door, you can bet it'll start whispering
• 1:04:16
  in the ears of the policymakers.
• 1:04:18
  Even if it's legal, it's unethical.
• 1:04:21
  It erodes trust and it sends a message that power in America isn't earned by public service.
• 1:04:26
  It's purchased by corporate checkbooks. at
• 1:04:30
  the end of the day this ballroom isn't just a room it's a symbol
• 1:04:33
  and right now it looks like less like democracy and more like a business deal
• 1:04:38
  that's it brother that's all you got yep all right cool that was excellent i
• 1:04:43
