- 0:11Speaker 2: Sandra Massa's killer, the cop, died in prison.
- 0:15Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:15Speaker 1: He'd only done a year. I thought he was kidding. Yeah,
- 0:18Speaker 1: I was going to say, he said he was. You
- 0:19Speaker 1: know how evil you got to be when you're 32
- 0:20Speaker 1: and die of cancer?
- 0:21Speaker 4: Mm.
- 0:22Speaker 5: Mm.
- 0:22Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 0:23Speaker 2: You know how evil you got to be?
- 0:24Speaker 7: Yep, I can imagine.
- 0:25Speaker 1: I don't necessarily ascribe it to karma, but.
- 0:27Speaker 2: I'm like, damn.
- 0:27Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 0:29Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 0:31Speaker 1: And did you see, uh, uh, Brandon Tatum's start talking about, uh,
- 0:35Speaker 1: Michelle Obama and everybody went at him.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Yeah, of course.
- 0:38Speaker 4: We love Michelle Obama.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Uh, you know, uh, Bishop Talbot Swan, who is somebody
- 0:44Speaker 1: I follow. He's, uh, He was getting into it with
- 0:46Speaker 1: his wife, and she was like, that's not becoming. He's like,
- 0:49Speaker 1: your husband started this.
- 0:50Speaker 4: I brought you up.
- 0:51Speaker 7: The other thing is, by the way, no, for real,
- 0:54Speaker 7: for real.
- 0:54Speaker 3: You know I hate making fun of how people look
- 0:57Speaker 3: because I think that's how you were born. However, whoever
- 1:00Speaker 3: put together the montage of her doing her brows, I
- 1:04Speaker 3: was like, you know what?
- 1:05Speaker 2: She looked like one of them Targaryens.
- 1:07Speaker 7: She does.
- 1:09Speaker 2: She looks like one of them Targaryens.
- 1:11Speaker 1: I swear to God. I'm not, you know, I'm not
- 1:14Speaker 1: for family. I think that that's off limits. But since
- 1:17Speaker 1: he started it.
- 1:18Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:18Speaker 1: And then he got hips. Did you see them together?
- 1:22Speaker 1: It looked like two bad on the way to the gynecologist.
- 1:26Speaker 1: I thought it was a double gender reveal. That dude,
- 1:30Speaker 1: those jeans, somebody ovulated in them jeans before.
- 1:33Speaker 4: Those jeans.
- 1:34Speaker 7: Come on, Genuine. He look like Saucy.
- 1:36Speaker 4: Santana for real, don't he? Those jeans got stretch in them.
- 1:40Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 1:41Speaker 4: Stretching a little high.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Do you think if R.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Kelly got out and had a concert, would you go?
- 1:51Speaker 2: Skip, would you?
- 1:51Speaker 6: Yep.
- 1:53Speaker 4: You serve his time.
- 1:54Speaker 9: Hey, man, we got this pedophile that hasn't served his time.
- 1:59Speaker 9: You're leading this country. Don't hit me with that morality
- 2:01Speaker 9: and all that stuff. Hey, man, I'm not going to
- 2:03Speaker 9: see Robert, but R. Kelly on stage. I'm going to
- 2:06Speaker 9: see him and listen to his music and everything. Now, Robert,
- 2:09Speaker 9: that one that Gail was talking to, that's Robert. But no, no,
- 2:14Speaker 9: I'm going to Wisconsin.
- 2:15Speaker 7: What is it? Hot and fresh in the kitchen.
- 2:21Speaker 6: Come on.
- 2:22Speaker 7: Okay.
- 2:22Speaker 4: See what happens. You get caught up. This is like
- 2:25Speaker 4: the nineties, early 2000.
- 2:26Speaker 6: Come on.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:27Speaker 4: Keep it on download.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Yeah. It's a, I just, I think for a lot
- 2:32Speaker 1: of people, I don't think that he should, I don't
- 2:34Speaker 1: think that he should be ostracized. I would never say canceling,
- 2:37Speaker 1: but for me, it is a moral dilemma for me
- 2:41Speaker 1: that I would not.
- 2:42Speaker 7: I get it.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Skip said something interesting. I take more, sometimes, I mean,
- 2:47Speaker 2: I'm not.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Skip said something interesting.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:49Speaker 7: If he gets out, he's done his time.
- 2:51Speaker 4: He's done his time. Thank you.
- 2:52Speaker 7: Or broke up.
- 2:54Speaker 4: If you break out, you ain't doing a concert. Not here.
- 2:58Speaker 2: So, Skip, I just, you know, but I expect that
- 3:01Speaker 2: from you.
- 3:02Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 3:02Speaker 2: I expect that from you.
- 3:03Speaker 6: Okay.
- 3:03Speaker 7: Well, then there's that.
- 3:04Speaker 2: You know, Skip is 40% of his weight. So, come
- 3:08Speaker 2: on now.
- 3:08Speaker 4: White people ain't going to the concert.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Come on now. Yeah, but they'll fund it.
- 3:12Speaker 6: Come on, man.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Come on now. Elena, I'm going to ask you. Get ready.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Elena, when I ask you a question this time, be ready.
- 3:18Speaker 1: We have to warm you up. Okay, but we got to...
- 3:20Speaker 1: We got stuff to do.
- 3:21Speaker 7: We got places to go.
- 3:22Speaker 2: We got to preset you.
- 3:23Speaker 7: All right.
- 3:24Speaker 2: So just sit there with your mouth on the microphone.
- 3:27Speaker 7: Wait a minute.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Until I get Saturday.
- 3:31Speaker 7: I did it last night.
- 3:32Speaker 4: Ah, there it is. Good one, Elena.
- 3:33Speaker 2: There it is.
- 3:34Speaker 6: Boom.
- 3:35Speaker 4: Yes.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Yes.
- 3:35Speaker 4: A Dominican Dalek.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Yes.
- 3:37Speaker 6: Okay, saucy. Yes.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Yeah, that's saucy.
- 3:40Speaker 6: Yes.
- 3:40Speaker 9: Yes.
- 3:43Speaker 2: So if R. Kelly got out and had a concert,
- 3:45Speaker 2: would you go? Lena, my little Dominicana.
- 3:49Speaker 6: D-Melo.
- 3:49Speaker 2: D-Melo. Would you go? How much are the tickets?
- 3:53Speaker 4: No, I just went.
- 3:54Speaker 7: That's a good question.
- 3:56Speaker 2: That is a good question.
- 3:58Speaker 8: I probably would go.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Because you have no morals. What? You have no morals.
- 4:04Speaker 2: I'm just telling you.
- 4:04Speaker 4: Maybe because I could separate them.
- 4:06Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 4:07Speaker 7: I'm still stepping in the name of love at the bar.
- 4:10Speaker 7: I know that's right.
- 4:11Speaker 4: Y'all went and saw the Michael movie. Stop playing.
- 4:14Speaker 1: He wasn't convicted. He was now innocent as a matter
- 4:17Speaker 1: of fact. And I walked out. When he was in
- 4:23Speaker 1: the pool, I was like, let me leave. I only
- 4:26Speaker 1: went to the movie because Jasmine was doing something. That's
- 4:28Speaker 1: why I went.
- 4:29Speaker 7: Wait a minute.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I was. That's why I went. You know, I'm
- 4:32Speaker 2: morally conflicted.
- 4:33Speaker 10: This is the first time in history that you didn't
- 4:35Speaker 10: fall asleep, though.
- 4:36Speaker 7: You did.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Yeah, because I was looking for it. No, I didn't
- 4:39Speaker 1: fall asleep doing Odyssey. I did not fall asleep doing Odyssey.
- 4:43Speaker 9: No.
- 4:46Speaker 5: You snooze a little bit.
- 4:47Speaker 2: You guys lie so much.
- 4:49Speaker 9: Oh, wow.
- 4:50Speaker 2: You lie so much. I don't even understand why I'm
- 4:52Speaker 2: here with you all.
- 4:52Speaker 4: You don't even believe that your soul is a three-hour movie.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Be quiet.
- 4:56Speaker 4: Carlitos way.
- 4:58Speaker 2: I don't need you for Carlitos way. I know I
- 5:01Speaker 2: didn't mention nothing. Question we're asking. R. Kelly gets out
- 5:04Speaker 2: and has a concert. Where'd you go?
- 5:05Speaker 1: 877-242-2426.
- 5:05Speaker 2: We went to the phones. What do you think?
- 5:10Speaker 11: I'm a big R.
- 5:11Speaker 4: Kelly fan.
- 5:12Speaker 10: I got to say, not only would I go, I'm
- 5:14Speaker 10: buying front row the first five concerts. Nobody said he
- 5:19Speaker 10: raked them. It was all about the money. Everybody got paid.
- 5:22Speaker 10: So I think, like I said, I'll go see him
- 5:24Speaker 10: front row the first five concerts.
- 5:28Speaker 4: He's doing a good job. This is Tim from Chattanooga, Tennessee.
- 5:31Speaker 8: I wouldn't go to his show, but you got to
- 5:34Speaker 8: give it to him.
- 5:35Speaker 5: He put out some good music back then.
- 5:37Speaker 11: I still listen to his music. I wouldn't go to
- 5:40Speaker 11: his show. I wouldn't contribute any money to him. If
- 5:43Speaker 11: our killer get out of jail tomorrow... and have a
- 5:47Speaker 11: concert the next day, I'm buying tickets to come to
- 5:50Speaker 11: my hometown. I still rock with R.
- 5:51Speaker 6: Kelly.
- 5:52Speaker 11: I still listen to his music. I think he's a
- 5:54Speaker 11: genius when it comes to his music. Now, do I
- 5:57Speaker 11: think he's stupid when it comes to cumminses? Yeah, I do.
- 6:00Speaker 11: I think he's made a lot of mistakes.
- 6:01Speaker 6: Well, who hasn't?
- 6:02Speaker 11: I mean, I wish black folks would stop lolling white
- 6:06Speaker 11: folks to tell us who we should cancel. They ain't
- 6:09Speaker 11: canceling every press list. They ain't canceling Osborne. There's a
- 6:13Speaker 11: lot of white artists that have been in trouble that
- 6:15Speaker 11: they never canceled. So I would, black folks would stick
- 6:18Speaker 11: and stay with the people that, listen, R. Kelly made
- 6:21Speaker 11: a mistake. We understand that. But his music will forever
- 6:25Speaker 11: outlive him. So I think he's a genius. I think
- 6:28Speaker 11: he's a great performer. And I will buy his concert
- 6:32Speaker 11: ticket tomorrow.
- 6:34Speaker 6: Of course. Because the music still was good. It was legit.
- 6:39Speaker 7: So I'm still going to go to it. I'm still
- 6:42Speaker 7: going to jam.
- 6:43Speaker 6: I don't have to go to no room with him.
- 6:45Speaker 7: I can just go enjoy the music.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Yeah, that's something else.
- 6:49Speaker 6: I ain't doing all that.
- 6:50Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm going to the concert.
- 6:54Speaker 6: You want to throw an all-white? I got me an
- 6:55Speaker 6: all-white outfit ready.
- 6:56Speaker 2: All right, we already heard from Immoral, Skip, and Lena. Wow. Jazz,
- 7:03Speaker 2: you would go too, right?
- 7:04Speaker 7: You know, I might go and sit in the back,
- 7:06Speaker 7: but I'm probably going to go.
- 7:07Speaker 4: Jazz, you coming up with me.
- 7:08Speaker 2: You think of the back of the back.
- 7:09Speaker 7: Yeah, we probably are.
- 7:09Speaker 5: You think of the back like that because.
- 7:11Speaker 4: You're less in the theater. I'm going to pick you
- 7:13Speaker 4: up on the way, Jazz.
- 7:14Speaker 11: Wait a minute.
- 7:14Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she'll be posting it. It'll be
- 7:16Speaker 4: all over Instagram. It's the first time Jasmine will sit
- 7:20Speaker 4: in the back.
- 7:20Speaker 6: Mr.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Biggs.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
- 7:21Speaker 7: I'll be in the back with a cap down to
- 7:23Speaker 7: my brows. It's just one more left.
- 7:26Speaker 1: We got to just hear from Junius and see if
- 7:28Speaker 1: I am alone on my soapbox. R. Kelly gets out
- 7:33Speaker 1: when you go to his concert. We're going through the phones.
- 7:37Speaker 6: Oh, yes.
- 7:37Speaker 8: If R.
- 7:37Speaker 10: Kelly got out and had a show, I'm most definitely going.
- 7:40Speaker 11: He's the baddest brother.
- 7:42Speaker 8: He probably is the best male artist of our time, 80s, 90s.
- 7:47Speaker 8: I'm front row. Oh, yes, most definitely I would go
- 7:52Speaker 8: see him. If he got out, that would mean that
- 7:54Speaker 8: he served his time and paid his debt to society.
- 7:58Speaker 8: It doesn't negate what he did as a musician or
- 8:01Speaker 8: a masterful songwriter or an artist. I would definitely go
- 8:05Speaker 8: see R.
- 8:05Speaker 6: Kelly.
- 8:06Speaker 11: Pay my money to go see him.
- 8:08Speaker 6: Definitely.
- 8:09Speaker 5: I would, if I could afford it.
- 8:14Speaker 6: Not only would I pay money to go to a R.
- 8:16Speaker 6: Kelly concert if he got out of prison... I do
- 8:19Speaker 6: it with complete righteousness in my mind and heart. The
- 8:23Speaker 6: profits from an R. Kelly concert are going to his
- 8:26Speaker 6: label victims, his deserving ex-wife, and his offsprings. That's where
- 8:31Speaker 6: the vast majority of the profits are going to go
- 8:33Speaker 6: if he's able to get out and do a concert tour.
- 8:36Speaker 6: He's got to pay for his people, so they're going
- 8:38Speaker 6: to get paid, the band and everything like that. And R. Kelly,
- 8:42Speaker 6: if he gets a break like that, if he gets
- 8:44Speaker 6: that stroke of luck, R. Kelly's going to be a
- 8:46Speaker 6: much better person when he comes out. So, yeah, I'd go.
- 8:51Speaker 9: Man, if R.
- 8:52Speaker 11: Kelly got out of jail tomorrow, I'm in the first row.
- 8:56Speaker 10: And I'm saying that because I have daughters, man.
- 8:58Speaker 6: And what I'm saying is. This country, like y'all said,
- 9:01Speaker 6: voted for Donald Trump twice.
- 9:03Speaker 11: All them people that talked about R.
- 9:05Speaker 5: Kelly and downed R. Kelly, they voted for this man.
- 9:08Speaker 6: Come on, bro.
- 9:09Speaker 11: That man did his time. He's an icon, bro.
- 9:12Speaker 6: Can't nobody hit him in versus. I mean, he's the
- 9:15Speaker 6: king R & B.
- 9:15Speaker 2: And like I said, if he.
- 9:16Speaker 6: Got out tomorrow, I'm in front row. Bless you, DL.
- 9:19Speaker 10: You're doing good work for our community, brother.
- 9:21Speaker 6: Keep it up.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Junius, I didn't hear from you. What did you say?
- 9:25Speaker 4: Well, I guess I'd be joining Chaz. Yeah, you go.
- 9:28Speaker 4: Over at the concert. Yeah, we're going to the show.
- 9:33Speaker 4: I wouldn't take my little nieces with me, you know,
- 9:35Speaker 4: because he just got out. So it might be a
- 9:37Speaker 4: little too tempting, but I'll be there.
- 9:39Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 9:41Speaker 4: And if Skip's going, he's going to have a ticket.
- 9:43Speaker 4: So we're going to have good seats.
- 9:45Speaker 1: I'm very, I can't tell you how disappointed I am,
- 9:49Speaker 1: but it is not unexpected.
- 9:51Speaker 2: I walk this path alone on this show. Well, we
- 9:54Speaker 2: ain't got no first stone casters around here.
- 9:58Speaker 5: You the only one here.
- 10:01Speaker 2: He paid his dues.
- 10:02Speaker 7: He's out.
- 10:03Speaker 2: All right.
- 10:03Speaker 7: I'm just saying.
- 10:04Speaker 2: All right.
- 10:05Speaker 7: I'll be back.
- 10:07Speaker 2: We'll be back with more of the show. The only
- 10:08Speaker 2: one God loves on the show.
- 10:10Speaker 6: Wow.
- 10:14Speaker 1: It's the faithful one on the DLU show coming back.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Now it's time to listen to Alibo, the streaming hack warrior.
- 10:24Speaker 5: And I'm selling me and I'm me. What's that, Alibo?
- 10:30Speaker 2: And you know what this means?
- 10:32Speaker 8: What?
- 10:33Speaker 5: It is almost time for the kids to go back
- 10:38Speaker 5: to school. And no one is more happy about this
- 10:51Speaker 5: than their parents. Summer break has them running a 24-hour
- 10:55Speaker 5: daycare with no budget, no backup, and a boss who
- 10:59Speaker 5: only speaks in, I'm hungry, and he hit me first.
- 11:04Speaker 9: Uh-oh.
- 11:04Speaker 5: School is the only free babysitter the government steals funds.
- 11:08Speaker 5: I'm serious. You know, D.L., my home brother, I do
- 11:11Speaker 5: not have kids. But you know I am a warrior.
- 11:15Speaker 5: If I were to have children... They would be warriors
- 11:18Speaker 5: like me. They'd be born already knowing how to change
- 11:22Speaker 5: their own diapers out of respect. They'd never cry. They
- 11:26Speaker 5: would just stare at the problem until it fixed itself.
- 11:30Speaker 5: Their imaginary friends would ask permission before appearing.
- 11:34Speaker 6: Uh-oh.
- 11:35Speaker 5: And the school bus would pick them up early and
- 11:38Speaker 5: thank them for the privilege. Their report cards would say,
- 11:41Speaker 5: approved by Halebo. And every teacher would give them an
- 11:45Speaker 5: A just to stay on the safe side. I'm serious.
- 11:49Speaker 5: Today's review has nothing to do with going back to
- 11:52Speaker 5: the school. But it does have Screaming Teacher in it.
- 11:55Speaker 5: The movie is The End of Oak Street. Starring Anne
- 12:00Speaker 5: Hathaway and Ewan D. McGregor. Now, in this movie, they
- 12:04Speaker 5: play their Platt family. They have a son and a daughter.
- 12:09Speaker 5: And they live in a neighborhood that looks like an
- 12:12Speaker 5: 80s sitcom. Then, one day, a cosmic event. transports the
- 12:16Speaker 5: neighborhood to someplace unknown. After the cosmic event, this quiet
- 12:21Speaker 5: suburban street decides it's done with life. The oak trees
- 12:26Speaker 5: pack their bags and leave like they're late for a
- 12:29Speaker 5: better zip code. The HOA president turns into a raccoon
- 12:33Speaker 5: and the mailman starts delivering packages from next Tuesday. It's
- 12:39Speaker 5: like if the Twilight Zone got drunk, lost their bet,
- 12:42Speaker 5: and tried to direct a Home Depot commercial. In the ending,
- 12:46Speaker 5: the whole street just folds up like a cheap yoga
- 12:49Speaker 5: mat and disappears. I'm serious. I haven't felt this level
- 12:53Speaker 5: of betrayal since my last relationship. Now, if you're looking
- 12:57Speaker 5: for a movie that makes you question both real estate
- 13:00Speaker 5: and reality, congratulations. This is a movie for you.
- 13:05Speaker 4: I'm serious.
- 13:06Speaker 5: I give this movie two handbags and four bottles of
- 13:10Speaker 5: a label weed killer. It is so strong, the weeds
- 13:15Speaker 5: will apologize before they leave the yard. The only product
- 13:18Speaker 5: that kills weeds and their entire bloodline.
- 13:21Speaker 4: I'm serious.
- 13:22Speaker 5: This is Alibo, your hacking warrior, with the stream hacking
- 13:25Speaker 5: movie video. Stay safe and healthy.
