2:10

2:15
the first question you want to ask the first question how you how you want to
2:17
start bro it's your house you know all right i'm gonna ask the first question
2:21
all right all right you ready i think so all right.
2:28
At what age did you lose your virginity? And please name it.
2:31
No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
2:37
I'm totally kidding. That is not one of my questions. Boy, I can hit a phone
2:42
call now. I know damn well.
2:45
You didn't say my name on no podcast.
2:50
Oh, man. I had to hit you with that. All right. No, I've been in trouble. Serious.
2:55
Name your favorite athlete. And tell us why.
2:59
Oh, man. All time or current? All time.
3:03
It was Mike. Okay. And I think that, you know what? Let me take that back.
3:08
I would say it's Mike. It's probably a tie between him and Peyton.
3:14
And I'm probably. I know who you mean.
3:17
Oh, Walter Peyton. Sorry. Thank you. Sorry.
3:20
And I think most of that. And when you say Mike, you mean? Michael Jordan.
3:24
Okay. Thank you. Yeah, there's only one Mike.
3:29
But I think most of that is just because, I mean, we grew up watching it.
3:34
Like, I think that, like, when I talk to the kids about, we talk about basketball, for example.
3:41
Dude, did we miss any games Mike played?
3:44
I don't think we ever missed a single game when Mike was in a Bulls uniform.
3:48
It was must see TV it really was,
3:52
even when they used to come on Fox and it was like a crappy broadcast yeah and
3:58
as far as like football like you know we used to play the game over the top
4:02
oh yeah you know I mean everybody was Peyton you know jumping over the top because
4:07
my brother used to put us against the wall but,
4:12
jumping over the top everybody wanted to be Peyton so yeah Yeah. All right. Cool. Yeah.
4:20
How would you describe who you were 20 or 30 years ago compared to who you are today?
4:27
Man, bro, get out of my head. That is absolutely one of my questions, bro.
4:34
It's all good. So.
4:37
Oh, wow. 20 years ago.
4:40
Or 30, whichever one. I would say that I've learned how to be more patient,
4:47
a more understanding of others' views.
4:51
Probably not as hot-tempered as I used to be.
4:56
And, you know, with age comes wisdom. So there's just a lot of things that I
5:00
would get worked up about back in the day that now I just kind of be like,
5:04
eh, it's kind of not a big deal.
5:05
You know, I try and be more solution-oriented now as opposed to back then just being reactionary.
5:15
And, you know, however I reacted was how I reacted.
5:18
You know, I try and take a step back now and just sort of measure the whole
5:23
situation so to speak so the reason i ask that question is because i had a conversation
5:28
with one of the kids the other day and they uh,
5:31
they asked something about the podcast and we got to talking about how we were back in the day.
5:38
And i don't know if you remember this or not we had a party at the
5:41
house when we first built the house there was
5:44
somebody there that neither one of us knew it's my house and i
5:48
remember you saying who is this you want to get him yeah
5:51
i was like oh as tifty
5:54
as that is yeah and then of course i found out like
5:56
five minutes later who it was like oh shoot okay okay but yeah don't ever come
6:00
in my house yeah not announcing yourself yeah yeah yeah yeah hey i i swear man
6:06
that's one of my questions so i'm gonna just throw that back at you i'll have
6:10
your views evolve since your 20s or 30s And not to just piggyback off of what you said,
6:16
but I mean, it was anybody that knows me knows that, especially in my 20s, those quick temper.
6:21
I think the only thing that saved me from my ass whooping every once in a while
6:24
and getting punched in the face was how big my family was.
6:27
And, you know, the fact that there was always people around me that would also
6:31
stick up for me. I wasn't a fighter. I did run my mouth a lot. I did.
6:36
But patience is absolutely something that is the number one thing that I think about.
6:45
Like I'm just having the kids. Yeah. When the twins were born,
6:49
I was an impatient individual.
6:51
But when they were born and all the health issues and whatnot,
6:54
it made me become a very patient person.
6:57
Yeah. So if I still behave like I did back then, well, I'd be in a world of trouble. We both would.
7:05
On everything. We both would, man. So, yeah. Yeah, that's what's up, man. Is it on me now?
7:12
Or is it on you? No, I think it's on me. All right. So...
7:16
What is one life lesson that shaped the way you see the world and how does it
7:21
influence how you are on the podcast?
7:26
Oh, that is a great question.
7:30
I would say raising my children.
7:35
I learned a lot from them.
7:38
So they may not recognize it, they may not realize it, but just learning how
7:44
to, again, react to certain situations instead of just being so charged up and why did you do this?
7:52
Why did you do that? Maybe just take a step back and try and listen first.
7:56
So that's probably the biggest is I learned how to listen.
8:02
I learned how to be patient and learned that there's more than one way to accomplish a goal.
8:10
Everything doesn't have to be my way.
8:13
So that's probably like the biggest thing. So I'm still working on that for myself.
8:18
Yeah. And I mean, it's it's it's an evolution, you know, and it is something
8:25
that I recognize that I'm evolving every day.
8:28
I'm trying to get better every day at it. So so that would that would that would
8:31
probably be the biggest thing.
8:33
And, yeah, I try and I hope that I'm making that clear about myself when we
8:38
discuss random issues or whatever that I am trying to look at things from all angles,
8:44
from all sides and not just trying to be focused on one particular issue or
8:50
one particular solution.
8:51
Now, there are some things that I am not flexible on.
8:56
I said that in the Building Wakanda episode.
8:59
That's just what it is. But there's not many, but there are a few.
9:04
Let me see here. What is a pet peeve about yourself?
9:10
A pet peeve that I have or a pet peeve that others have? A pet peeve that you
9:14
have and you know that is something you need to work on, basically.
9:19
Oh, man. Well, for one, I wear my emotions on my face no matter what.
9:25
I've had people tell me that they didn't approach me because they thought I
9:29
was mad. I was like, mad about what? I was just sitting there.
9:32
Man, you look like you didn't want to be bothered. Well, I didn't. Right.
9:36
But that ain't the point. You know, if you had something to say,
9:39
you should have said something to me.
9:42
So I would say that's something I know I need to work on.
9:45
Of course, I didn't think I needed to work. Oh, and another one.
9:49
I used to get told all the time how intense I was. You need to relax.
9:54
It's all good. Just relax. You're too intense with the way you react to things.
9:59
And I guess I never paid attention to it. But those things also need to look.
10:06
I'm on number three, Pep P.
10:08
I think the biggest one now, maybe it's because I'm getting older.
10:11
I can't stand noise, man.
10:14
Like TV too loud. I don't know if it's some sensory issues.
10:20
It sets me off. Like it angers me. It's not to the point where I'd be like, hey, turn that TV down.
10:25
It's like, turn that mother.
10:31
And i know that's overreacting yeah yeah that's
10:34
how it makes me feel right but no no i know now if you ask one of the kids that
10:39
oh man they'll sit here and talk for three hours i'll never ask them that that
10:44
it is that that shouldn't do that but see that's their pet peeve that's not sure Your pet pee.
10:53
So that's why I'm like, no.
10:56
But it's excellent that you're self-aware.
10:59
Well, yeah. And you know those things about yourself. You didn't ask me that
11:03
20 years ago. That's cool. I ain't got no pet pee.
11:05
Exactly. No, I'm perfect. Exactly. Exactly. I would probably have said the same
11:10
thing. Like, man, you tripping. What you talking about?
11:12
Yeah, no, I'm good. Yeah. Everybody else is wrong. And I'm right.
11:15
No, no, I feel that. All right. So here's one.
11:19
What are you most excited about for your future, both personally and professionally?
11:27
Personally, I am looking forward to God willing.
11:33
I'm looking forward to growing old and retiring and see what that's like.
11:40
You know, me and my wife be retired and just get up and go to breakfast every
11:45
morning or decide to just take a walk around the community or something,
11:50
you know, and just not have a responsibility.
11:52
Well, I shouldn't say responsibility, but but basically just have the day to
11:56
ourselves and just see what that's like.
11:58
So I do look for that.
12:01
I mean, I do want to see the granddaughter get older and see what she is like
12:07
in her teenage years, et cetera, et cetera. professionally.
12:13
I mean, gosh, retirement.
12:19
I mean, let's just be real.
12:22
I have no inspiration or aspiration to move up within the organization. I'm fine where I'm at.
12:31
I've done the whole management thing. It's not for me.
12:35
So yeah, I'm just looking forward to retirement, man. you know like i said lord
12:42
willing that i make it to just be able to work until i retire and maintain my health and uh,
12:48
You know, just like I said, given that we don't blow up, I mean,
12:52
if we blow up and when I say we, I mean, for the fan podcast,
12:56
then those are those goals may change.
12:59
Well, no, those goals will change. Yeah.
13:02
No. So. So, you know, that's that's sort of where I'm at. I'm totally settled
13:07
in. I'm fine being just a worker bee.
13:10
You know, I'm happy with that. this is my start time this is my leave time and
13:16
when i'm done i'm done you don't call me,
13:19
you don't email me you don't text me we'll pick
13:22
up tomorrow i enjoy that my personal life is separate from my professional life
13:29
and that's where i want to be at this stage in my life yeah i miss them days
13:33
where i can just clock in and clock out yeah let that be it yeah yeah uh.
13:41
What profession would you be in if given the chance to start over?
13:46
I probably would have started early with some level of philanthropy, helping people.
13:53
Because, I mean, you've heard me say a million times before,
13:56
I think that ultimately I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing.
13:59
What I'm supposed to be doing is helping people. And eventually I hope I retire
14:03
or hell, just work until I can, until I can anymore, helping people,
14:09
you know, donating, organizing, different things like that.
14:13
But I would have gotten into that a lot earlier.
14:17
And that probably would have been my entire career, just getting involved with
14:21
organizations and helping people, rather be like recently the shutdown or natural
14:28
disasters and so on and so forth. So that's noble. Yeah.
14:33
Oh, I just had it. What's one piece of advice you'd give to your younger self and why?
14:39
Financial advice. Be better with money.
14:44
Don't buy those new rims and tires. You know, invest.
14:49
But they look good on the view. Yeah, but so what?
14:52
I mean, when I just think about how much money I've wasted over the years,
14:56
that's the tip that I would. And not just tell my younger self,
15:00
tell myself today to just be smarter with my money and make better decisions.
15:07
Think about the future instead of just living for the present.
15:11
That's that's the one piece of advice that I would absolutely give myself. Let me see here.
15:18
Why did you decide to do this podcast?
15:22
So for transparency, you've been getting on me about it.
15:27
I can't remember who brought it up originally, but I remember it.
15:31
You brought it up originally and then we sort of kicked it down the curve for a while.
15:35
Yeah, and I think that it was one of those things where you were just kind of
15:39
like, hey man, we're going to do this? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're going to do it, we're going to do it.
15:45
Hey man, we're going to do this? Yeah. Meanwhile,
15:48
You text me, hey, new video up. Yeah. Because, you know, you got your YouTube
15:53
channel with the videos you do. Yeah.
15:56
And then I can't remember what made us end up doing it, but I was like,
16:00
hey, let's just go ahead and do it. Like, what?
16:02
Yeah. Yep. And then I ordered, you know, the microphones and just went from there.
16:07
But I think it's one of those things where we don't have many outlets nowadays.
16:11
Like, we're not around the crew that we grew up with as much.
16:15
We're not hanging in those small groups. Right.
16:18
It's it's it's pretty much i'm gonna say we don't
16:20
have nobody to talk to but back in those days
16:23
we'd hung around hung around a whole lot of people and got
16:27
our views out whereas now you know you're older your views change you know just
16:32
way to sit down and talk about uh different things so you're not in it for the
16:37
money you're not doing this for fame or fortune no okay cool no i'd be i'd be much,
16:44
happy if nobody knew what i look like hey that's real right there all right cool.
16:51
What is it is my turn right it
16:53
is yeah what's the dumbest thing you could think
16:56
of that you did as a kid legally something
17:01
legal man we don't
17:04
have time for that that you didn't get in
17:06
trouble for oh that i didn't get in
17:09
trouble for oh my god see
17:13
i feel like i got in trouble for everything oh now keep in mind people listening
17:17
yeah i know we could probably do a three-hour podcast on stuff we ain't had
17:22
no business getting into especially between the ages of what 16 to 20 that is a hell of a question,
17:31
Gosh, man, that's a really good one, bro, because like I said,
17:35
I feel like I've done so much dumb stuff.
17:39
Oh, man. Like something you may have done at the house and lied about and your
17:43
pops really didn't come down on you.
17:47
No, like I said, I feel like I got caught a lot.
17:52
He came down on me for a lot of stuff.
17:56
I would say probably cutting class, junior year.
18:01
I cut class a whole lot. You did? Yeah. See, you don't even know.
18:09
I cut like junior year, bro, after lunch.
18:15
Well, hell, we didn't have really school. Our junior senior year,
18:17
we really wasn't in school often.
18:20
So after lunch, bro, I would just, we would go to, I ain't going to say his
18:25
name, but we. Yeah, yeah, I know.
18:26
I need to talk about it. Yeah, we go to his crib and we just hang out.
18:29
We go to the park shoot some ball we just yeah we just uh we just go look up at his crib,
18:36
and senior year bro like i had
18:39
to have a meeting with miss warner now they were not
18:42
gonna let me back in how the hell
18:45
did i miss all this because i didn't tell anybody i didn't tell anybody that
18:49
yeah but yeah bro i had i had to have a meeting me and my parents had to have
18:53
a meeting with miss winter now senior year because they were not going to let
18:57
me back in school bro i cut class that much junior year bro especially like
19:02
after winter and it started to get nice.
19:05
After lunch it was like man i'm out of here i was about i
19:08
know that's how it was what that last three weeks of school yeah we
19:11
were never in school those last three weeks yeah so so yeah that like i said
19:16
i got caught and said i don't i don't feel like it was a lot that i didn't uh
19:20
get caught doing but that was probably the dumbest thing that I did I mean because
19:25
that's time that I couldn't get back you know and,
19:30
Once that, it messed up the graduation schedule coming because we still graduated
19:34
on time. We still went to school half a year, senior year. Right.
19:38
But still, I could have used that energy into doing something else.
19:44
You know what I'm saying?
19:44
And for those listening, it's not like he was cutting class and didn't have
19:48
good grades. He had good grades. Yes.
19:51
Which is exactly what Ms. Warner said. And she told me that she should whoop me.
19:58
Well I mean the fact that hell everybody we all those administrators knew everybody
20:06
they knew our parents they knew our aunts our uncles they knew everybody yeah,
20:12
you couldn't do nothing man you couldn't get away with it that was Lord knows
20:15
I know I couldn't that was a that was that was that was tough bro cause you
20:20
know you think you getting away with it uh huh and then you get that letter and you like damn,
20:26
I gotta.
20:27
I can hear. I gotta tell this one. I can hear.
20:33
I'm not BSing. I can hear your father's voice in my head right now. Come here. Yeah.
20:43
I know where you've been. I know where you at. Yeah. Okay. Alright.
20:48
Yeah. That was the dumbest, man.
20:52
That's a great question, bro. Oh my goodness, man. Damn, that took me down memory lane.
20:57
All right. I got a couple of light ones. Let's finish up light. All right.
21:01
What's your favorite genre of podcast, which I already know this answer,
21:05
but I'll let you tell the truth. Oh, True Crime. Yeah. Why?
21:10
I guess just something about.
21:12
That's intriguing to get inside people's heads, you know, which obviously you
21:18
really can't get inside some of these folks heads because it makes you wonder.
21:21
You think you hear some of these stories and you see some of these cases like,
21:27
you know, a husband kills a wife, wife kills a husband or husband gets caught
21:32
40 years later for randomly raping and murdering somebody.
21:36
Think to yourself, look at the life you're living. Got a good job. Got a good family.
21:42
Kids are involved in sports. Kids are straight A students. But then one night
21:46
you randomly, before your kids were born, decided you were going to rape and kill.
21:52
It's just intriguing to me, to the story of why people do some of the things that they do.
21:59
But it's, yeah, obviously it's, I'll sit around and watch true crime documentaries
22:03
all day, all night and not miss a beat.
22:06
All right, cool, cool. That's what's up. I think one more for you and then one more for me.
22:11
I'll go a lighthearted one Considering I know your food choices If you had to
22:16
eat one food for the rest of your life No health consequences at all What's your pick and why?
22:23
No health consequence? Zero health consequences,
22:27
Can I have two things or just one? Hey. Cheesecake or either peanut butter cookies.
22:33
I love cheesecake. I love peanut butter cookies. So one or the other.
22:41
That's all day, every day. You know what? I take that back.
22:46
Peanut butter cookies first and then cheesecake. I love me some peanut butter cookies, man.
22:51
Love them. Love them. That is my weakness, bro. That's my kryptonite.
22:55
See, for me, it's oatmeal raisin. Oatmeal raisin cookies? Man. Man.
23:00
Love them. Peanut butter cookies, bro.
23:02
As much as I try and be health conscious, bro, you slap some peanut butter cookies
23:06
in front of me. Yeah, it's protein, though, man. Give me one. Give me two.
23:11
But the thing is, is there's recipes out there where you can make them where
23:14
they're just full of protein.
23:15
But, you know, I've tried, like, the organic peanut butter. It's nasty. Yeah.
23:21
And then, like, the grease just builds up. So you got to stir it and stir it
23:27
and stir it and just like, yeah, no, just give me some Jeff or something like
23:30
I'll sacrifice because I can't I can't I can't do that.
23:35
I don't have time to sit here and stir this for five minutes every time I want
23:39
to use some peanut butter spray.
23:40
Like you said, it's thick, too. If you ain't got no good spoon. Yeah. Yeah. Spoon.
23:45
Yeah. All of that. All of that. So, yeah. All right. And my last one is sort
23:49
of sort of the same. But are you a cake or pie guy?
23:53
Cake. Cake all day. Yeah. Yeah, me too.
23:56
So, like, I like sweet potato pie. Mm-hmm.
24:01
Depends on who make it, though. Yeah, yeah. Sweet potato pie and apple pie.
24:04
Apple pie is my favorite. Mm-hmm. It just always has been.
24:06
A lot of that stuff I didn't eat because of just being picky.
24:11
Mm-hmm. And, you know, growing up.
24:14
You know, well, my ex-wife used to call me the golden child because,
24:18
you know, my mother would make chili.
24:21
She picked the beans out for me. Woo!
24:27
Yeah. Yeah. Is it chili at that point?
24:31
No, it's just meat and sauce and oyster crackers. Oh, wow. It's funny,
24:35
though, because I don't like beans separately.
24:40
But nowadays, it don't even bother me because I'm like, I can't even taste them.
24:44
Just eat them yeah yeah i feel you but yeah man yeah
24:47
yeah yeah i'm i'm definitely more of
24:50
a cake guy too all right cool so i i
24:53
hope you guys got a little bit of uh insight into us and getting to know us
24:58
a little bit better like i said we we purposely did not get into personal questions
25:04
or getting anything too deep i guess those are maybe conversations we could
25:09
have at another time if necessary.
25:12
So with that, we're going to move into some current events. What you got, brother?
25:18
You want me to go ahead? You know what? I do have one thing.
25:21
I didn't write anything down, but it's something I saw earlier today,
25:24
and I don't know the full details of it.
25:26
But are you familiar with Moon downtown, the restaurant, like club, like event center?
25:34
The only thing I can think of is Howl at the Moon, but you're not talking about
25:38
that. No, I'm not talking about that.
25:41
They've been there in that location downtown for about two and a half years
25:44
but they had their application for renewal of their liquor license,
25:49
yeah the city's not going to give it back to them and if you look at the article
25:55
you realize that they're not giving it back to them, now they say it's because of fights,
25:59
because of this because of that but then you find out when you do a little bit digger deeping.
26:08
Digger deeping. I got you. You know what I'm saying.
26:12
I got you. You dig a little deeper. Yes, I got you. Boy, oh boy.
26:17
You realize that the businesses that surround it ganged up to make sure that
26:21
they didn't get their liquor license renewed.
26:23
All the businesses around them didn't want it. But then if you look at the comments,
26:27
you see it's kind of like a double-edged sword.
26:30
There's a new hotel where it is, and the hotel apparently is connected to it.
26:36
They don't want them to get it renewed.
26:37
Because of, you know, past police calls and so on and so forth.
26:42
Last time I checked, what was the place that closed down a couple of years?
26:46
Was it Tiki Bob's? Tiki Bob. Wasn't the police always there too? Always.
26:50
Okay. That's my current event. All right. I'm going to stay local also with my current event.
26:58
And I'm going to bounce around to a few different topics. But I just want to
27:05
say congratulations to those senators who refused to do the redistricting here in Indiana.
27:14
Was it like six Republican senators decided that they didn't want to do it?
27:19
So hats off to them. And I will say that ever since they decided not to do the
27:26
redistricting and the pedo in chief has been making posts about them.
27:31
All of them have been swatted over like the last two weeks or so. Death threats.
27:39
Death threats. Yeah, even Mike Brown himself has received death threats just
27:43
because they did the right thing.
27:46
I hope that these guys recognize now.
27:52
That it's not about being right or wrong. It's about loyalty.
27:58
This whole administration, both administrations, is not about doing what's right
28:05
for the American people. It's about loyalty. If you're unloyal to him or disloyal
28:11
to him, you are a piece of shit.
28:14
I hope these guys are really starting to recognize that at this stage of the
28:19
game. Maybe a little too late, but at least you can recognize it better late than never.
28:26
The other thing I want to talk about, and these things both have made national
28:31
news, and I'm very proud that they are getting national news,
28:35
that the cleaning lady that was killed.
28:37
I seen that story on Good Morning America the other day. I'm very happy that
28:42
that made national news.
28:44
Very, very happy that the guy finally got arrested, even though it took too long, in my opinion.
28:49
But they did arrest him. So I'm happy about that. Happy that that story is getting
28:54
some national attention.
28:55
It deserves it. And I'm also happy that the pregnant couple in Crown Point,
29:02
who was refused service and she ended up having her baby on the road.
29:10
So that story is also getting national attention.
29:14
Thank God that she was able to deliver that baby and the baby is healthy.
29:19
But for those who are not aware, a black couple went to the hospital in Crown Point.
29:26
She was in labor. They told her she was too soon. She wasn't dilated enough, et cetera, et cetera.
29:34
Basically asked her to leave the hospital, told her that she was not going to have the baby.
29:40
Ten minutes later, she ended up having the baby on the side of the road.
29:44
Now, the doctor has since been fired and so has the nurse.
29:49
And that is fantastic. But just glad that those stories are getting national
29:56
attention. But, you know, usually things happen in Indiana unless it's huge,
30:00
it doesn't get national news.
30:02
So I'm just happy that those stories are making national news and hopefully
30:07
we can get more eyes here because the more attention these stories get,
30:12
maybe it will start to change the way that this state operates.
30:16
So those are those are those are my current events.
30:20
And now it's time for everyone's favorite, a rant, a rant about a random topic.
30:28
Got a rant, brother? I do.
30:31
See, I got two. I want to piggyback off what you said. Two things with your current events.
30:38
That young lady was at the hospital for six hours. Six hours. And never saw a doctor.
30:44
That's why the doctor was fired, because the doctor never came in to check,
30:47
even see. And apparently she had given birth at that hospital once before. Oh, wow.
30:53
Yeah. So she was in the registry. Yeah. So she's I mean, she's not a first time mother.
30:58
She knows her body and she's like, hey, I'm about to have this baby to something
31:02
that I'm not sure if you saw was updated this morning.
31:05
That man bonded out of jail. Oh, I seen that. Thirty five grand.
31:10
Thirty five thousand dollars. But here here's my my my random topic.
31:14
I brought this up to you last week.
31:17
When did we started giving a damn about politicians outside of our local jurisdiction?
31:26
It seems like when we were growing up from your favorite rapper to your favorite
31:29
actors, none of them cared for whether you were Democrat, Republican, it didn't matter.
31:35
We were all about the local politicians because we saw local politicians all
31:39
the time when we grew up. where we grew up is not that big, but it just seems
31:45
like, and I'm guilty of it too.
31:47
We find ourselves being so ingrained with some of these politicians expecting
31:53
something to be different than what it was 25 or 30 years ago.
31:57
I don't agree with the, oh, they're the same, blah, blah, blah.
32:02
I don't agree with that because you do have some people putting forth.
32:06
Plans or lack of plans that completely go against half of the country.
32:12
But then you have the other half putting together plans that want to help everybody.
32:21
People putting together plans that want to help everyone, but then not having
32:25
the heart to do what's necessary to push these plans through.
32:30
That all brings me to Marjorie Taylor-Bray. Keep going. So you can dish it out, but you can't take it.
32:40
You've been interrupting State of the Union addresses. Three times you interrupted
32:46
the State of the Union address.
32:47
You have called people all types of names. You behaved erratically.
32:55
You've done all types of things. The second that you say something that makes
33:00
sense for the first time in your adult life. Right.
33:03
And I actually find myself thinking to myself, I can't believe I agree with
33:08
her. Within 24 hours, you're getting death threats.
33:12
So then you're like, you know what? Yeah, this is too much for me.
33:16
Let me go ahead and step down. So you announce that you're resigning.
33:20
And then when we do a little bit of math, we think to ourselves,
33:23
January 5th. Oh, why January 5th?
33:27
Is it significant with January 6th? Are you doing it because of this? No, here's why.
33:32
Because right around that time, she becomes eligible for lifetime health insurance
33:36
and a God bless it pension plan.
33:39
And it for the money. Because if you're resigning, just go ahead,
33:43
resign, and go back to the people who voted for you.
33:46
Which, by the way, everybody, and I've mentioned this to you before,
33:49
no one who received 6,842 votes should be allowed to make policies for anybody
33:59
in this country. Well, outside of where they live.
34:03
You shouldn't be able to put forth these plans that are going to affect somebody
34:07
in Portland, Oregon, or Seattle, Washington.
34:11
And you only received 6,000 votes.
34:15
No, that's true. Some people tend to think that she's setting herself up for
34:20
a run once Trump's turn. Maybe around the park or something. No, no, no, no.
34:25
They think that she's going to try and run for president.
34:29
Don't shoot the messenger. Don't shoot the messenger.
34:32
That's what a lot of people tend to think is that she's setting herself up for
34:36
a run at the president. No, she'll never get elected.
34:39
But you know what the sad thing is?
34:42
A lot of her beliefs, you and I probably feel the same way she does.
34:46
But it goes back to what you said. It's about loyalty.
34:50
They push all their beliefs to the side. Right. Because it becomes about loyalty.
34:54
Because there's no way they believe half this nonsense, they say. Right.
34:57
So when she, like the stuff she's saying now, this is how she actually feels. I don't know, bro.
35:03
I kind of feel like it's all a ploy. I really do.
35:09
I hope she just goes away. No. I agree.
35:13
She should just go away. I don't know how you can be so gunk ho about something
35:18
and then just do a complete 180 on the drop of a hat.
35:23
I mean, I talk about a come to Jesus moment.
35:26
I know. I think you still harbor those same crazy beliefs, but you're being
35:32
a political opportunist.
35:34
This is what I really think is she's being a political opportunist and,
35:39
to quote Mississippi Burning the rattlesnakes are starting to hang themselves,
35:45
and I think she's just seeing the writing on the wall and she's like let me
35:49
try and save face that's what I think personally I don't think,
35:55
She should get any more attention than she's been getting. Okay, great. Go sit down.
35:59
Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah. Goodbye. Yeah. No, you're not getting any interviews.
36:03
No, you're not getting any time. You're not getting on my platform.
36:06
Okay, great. Thank you. Go sit down. I really don't care. But you know what'll end up happening?
36:11
All these democratic platforms. For sure. Will reach out to me.
36:15
For sure. Let's talk to her. For sure.
36:17
How about no? How about hell no? Go on about your business. Yes. Yes. Yes.
36:24
Because. Come by y'all attitude. Come on in, y'all, everybody,
36:29
because we got the big tent man.
36:31
Knock it off with that silly. And then if you do let her in and she burn y'all,
36:36
then you're going to be looking foolish.
36:38
Remember Megan Kelly? Right. Came to MSNBC? Right. You and I were like, what?
36:45
Right. She ain't changed. Right. These fools are opportunistic and that's all she is.
36:51
Go away. I'm sorry, but I can't.
36:54
I can forgive you. I can't forget.
36:57
So I don't care enough to forgive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go over there with that.
37:03
OK, you feel different. Cool.
37:05
Prove it. In 10 years, if you still feel the same way, maybe then I can rock with you.
37:10
But for now, it's way too recent for me to say, yeah, you can come on in. I'm a rock with you now.
37:15
Too soon. Too soon. Can't trust you. Can't trust you.
37:19
Can't trust J.D. Vance. Can't trust the flip floppers, which is why,
37:23
like in the mob movies and stuff like it's like the worst thing you could
37:26
be is the snitch or or like rat yeah yeah
37:29
can't trust them can't trust the undercovers you get one chance yeah that's
37:34
it that's that's it i want to talk about flesh tones for my work you know what
37:41
flesh tones are so on my youtube channel i got a couple of short videos talking
37:47
about subliminal racism,
37:49
Fleshtones has got to be one of the most subliminal racist things in the history of the United States.
37:57
I know they've tried to correct this recently.
38:01
But until recent, which is probably what, four or five years ago,
38:05
until then, flesh tones, one color.
38:09
And that color never matched the black people.
38:13
How in the hell can you call something flesh tone? It's one color.
38:18
All white people not even the same color no it's just
38:22
like so so what do we have i mean because ain't no flesh tone for us you had
38:28
those flesh tone band-aids or whatever whatever it's like this shit don't match
38:32
my flesh what why is this called flesh tone and when a lot of folks found out
38:35
about them well if we did this it would be racist you already do it right you already do it Yeah.
38:42
Yeah. I was just sitting there thinking like, man, why in the world did we ever
38:48
accept flesh tones as a quote unquote color?
38:52
It was racist from the start. It should have never, ever been allowed to call something flesh tones.
38:58
And it came in one particular color.
39:03
That's my work. Y'all anything else you want to add, bro?
39:06
All right, cool. Now we're going to move on to five on the black hand side.
39:13
And we are going to talk about Black Dynamite.
39:18
The movie starring Michael Jai White, Tommy Davidson.
39:23
Kim Whitley, Sally Richardson-Whitfield, and a host of cameos that if you pay attention, you'll see.
39:33
All right, take it away, my brother. So I rewatched it again this morning.
39:39
And I can honestly say, man, I probably laughed like out of,
39:43
what is it, 90 minutes? I probably laughed about 75 minutes because it was so
39:48
many things in the movie where you sit back and you think to yourself.
39:53
This ain't nothing but a throwback to the blaxploitation. For sure. The acting.
39:57
For sure. Everything. For sure. Was all the same. Like when he went to that orphanage. Yes.
40:03
And I had to pause it. When he went to the orphanage and he like had the flashback
40:08
and Sally Richardson was looking off in the distance like, what the hell is going on? Yeah.
40:12
And then the dude was like, you got something? Like I need my fix.
40:15
Yeah. These kids was like eight years old talking about they need their fix.
40:19
Walked up hitting his arm, bro.
40:20
Oh, no. That's when she went and grabbed me. Like you stop it.
40:23
He was hitting his arm there before van.
40:25
Oh, man. Dude, I love when they were having the big bar fight.
40:31
And they're doing all the play fighting. And dude slapped him for real.
40:35
Oh, he said, motherfucker. And he stopped and said, motherfucker.
40:39
But hold up. Hold up. The fact that he slapped him, it phased out,
40:45
came back in. And it was a light-skinned dude.
40:48
I was like, wait a minute. What happened to the dude? you he was
40:50
so mad that they had to stand in come in
40:53
and finish the scene oh man bro
40:57
because look he was punching the hell out of him yeah the second he open hand
41:01
slapped it yeah wait a minute now you're across the line yeah man that movie
41:06
is so funny man trying to think the whole chili and donuts which was a uh a
41:12
joke about chicken and waffles chicken and waffles yeah,
41:16
I'm trying to think. Do you see us? Yeah. We need two hot dogs.
41:20
Yeah. Two times down the middle.
41:22
Fry bologna. Smoosh it. Yeah. Fry that. Can we get some service in this mother?
41:30
But no, the equations to get to Little Richard. Yeah. I'm using air quotations.
41:38
But it's funny because when you first watch it, obviously it starts with that Anaconda commercial.
41:44
Right. And then as it goes along, when they break in the warehouse and pop it
41:47
open and got all that, and they're like, well, let's find the drugs.
41:50
Yeah. And I'm laughing because I'm like, the drugs is right there. Yeah.
41:54
Oh, boy, just grab a 40. Yeah. And it was a twist cap. It was a twist cap. And he popped it. Yeah.
42:00
Like it was a, like it wasn't. Yeah.
42:03
Yeah. So many jokes in the movie, man. Gosh, I'm trying to think some of them
42:08
cameos became Woodbine.
42:11
Evil Dave Chappelle. Yeah, when they were having like the pimp meeting.
42:15
I can dig it. I can't. Yeah.
42:19
Brian McKnight is one of the pimps when they having the pimp meeting.
42:23
That's John Sally. John Sally is one of them, too. You know what his name was?
42:28
Kotex. Straight up. But no, bro. Brian McKnight is one of them and John Sally is one of them, bro.
42:35
And of course, man, Arsenio Hall's name was Tasty Free. Yep.
42:39
Arsenio. So many cameos in this movie. Just an all-around good movie.
42:44
Definitely a spoof of the Blaxploitation.
42:47
Black Dynamite is supposed to be like a Shaft character. Tommy Davis is supposed to be like the Mac.
42:53
His boy Bullhorn that got killed is supposed to be like Dolomite.
42:59
Yeah, he's supposed to be like Dolomite.
43:03
Yeah, just just just a good movie. I'm guessing Kim Whitley is supposed to be
43:06
like almost like a Foxy Brown type character.
43:10
If I had to compare her like like maybe like a Della Reese and Harlem Nights.
43:14
Yeah. You know, the keeper of the house and whatnot.
43:17
Two things. The funniest two parts of the movie to me.
43:21
One, no, no particular order. When he was talking to Sally Richardson,
43:25
when they were standing next to Kim Whitley, he was like, you bet your ass and
43:28
your half titty that something she looked down like what?
43:33
What did you say?
43:35
In the beginning, when he was with, what was his name? O'Leary.
43:39
Yeah. And that fool was like, I still remember like it was yesterday.
43:44
He was talking about Vietnam, but he kept referencing Chinese people.
43:48
Yeah. I'm just sitting here like, oh, my God.
43:51
He was talking about the little boy. Yeah.
43:54
Dude, I love the scene where the boom microphone, you can clearly see the boom
43:59
microphone, and he keeps looking up at the microphone like, Do y'all see the
44:02
damn microphone in the cut? I love that part.
44:07
And when the one dude get killed, man, I'm going to start me a family.
44:12
Oh, yeah. I'm going to give you a job. You got killed.
44:17
And he was like, who saw that shit coming? I mean.
44:23
Or what they called the White House, which I won't say. Yeah.
44:28
Man, they pulled up. He was like, there it is. The blank house.
44:32
The other scene that always gets me When your boy Man I can't call his name
44:39
He had that brief talk show,
44:42
a minute. I can't call when they went to get the weapons and he was telling
44:47
them something and he was like, I'm blacker than any black so-and-so you can be.
44:53
Oh, he was the one in Lowdown Dirty Shining with the tickets.
44:58
Yeah, he gave them expired tickets. Yeah, for some reason I can't call his name
45:01
and he was like, and next time you hear Grownful talking, I suggest you just shut the F up.
45:06
I'm sorry. He walked up and said, I'm sorry.
45:10
Hey, I'm sorry. So many good scenes, man.
45:14
Let me tell Sal A. Richardson, you can hit the sheets of the streets.
45:17
It don't make me know Nevermind. Yeah. You can leave or you can come.
45:26
Oh, man. So many good scenes in that movie.
45:32
So I think we've already given it away that we're going to rate this thing pretty high. Yeah.
45:39
Great, great movie. Yeah. Black Dynamite is five on the black hand side.
45:45
Five high fives for sure. Yes, sir.
45:48
All right. Cool, cool, cool. And with that, it's time for the closing monologue.
45:54
Take it away, my brother.
45:55
All right. So today is going to be brief. I didn't really write anything down.
45:59
I'm just going to speak on something I mentioned a little earlier in the podcast.
46:03
This holiday season, we're supposed to be boycotting. I don't know the dates.
46:08
I don't know the times. I boycott every year.
46:11
But this holiday season, take your money, put it towards a local shelter,
46:16
find you an organization, find you a family to sponsor, find a bill to pay,
46:21
go talk to your local church pastor, go talk to local community organizers.
46:26
Somebody needs their light bill paid. Somebody needs a kitchen full of groceries.
46:30
Somebody just needs a few dollars.
46:32
Somebody needs a tank full of gas to get to and from work. If you're not.
46:37
If this shutdown has shown me anything, it's that there are a lot of heartless
46:41
assholes that run this country.
46:44
There are a lot of people who are middle class, who behave like they're billionaires
46:50
and that they are better.
46:51
There's videos going around social media, people dancing inside of Costco or
46:57
BJ's Wholesale Club or Sam's Club, doing the Diddy dance.
47:02
Talking about when my paycheck hit and I don't have to depend on EBT.
47:06
You know what I mean? Just stupid shit like that. There are plenty of times
47:11
where you may need snap benefits.
47:14
You never know. If you lose your job, snap benefits are there for you to get
47:18
on, even if it's for a month or two. They are there to help.
47:22
So this holiday season, quit buying your kids what they already have.
47:26
You have seven TVs in your damn house. You don't need another one just because
47:30
Walmart or Target put one on sale. So you want to, you got a 55,
47:34
but you want a 60 because they put it on sale for $288.
47:39
You know with $288, how many families that could feed this holiday season?
47:44
Go buy some turkeys. You want to spend $288? Go spend $288 on some turkeys and hand them out.
47:51
Stop blowing your money. Sorry about the language, everybody.
47:55
Stop blowing your money on bullshit.
47:57
Start reaching out to your neighbors. Start reaching out to the local community
48:01
and help people for a damn change.
48:04
I agree wholeheartedly. Latasha Brown is organizing the boycott.
48:11
Just to add a little context to that, Latasha Brown, you can Google it,
48:15
look it up. But I think it's supposed to be like a four day boycott from Black
48:20
Friday all the way up through Cyber Tuesday that she does not.
48:25
Excuse me. The boycott is for us to not spend with any major corporations.
48:30
But I think she highlighted four in particular, and I can't name the four off the top of my head.
48:36
So, yeah, just just Google Latasha Brown and you can get the details.
48:41
But good closing, my lord, brother.
48:44
I agree with you 100 percent. Like I've said plenty of times,
48:48
I don't celebrate holidays anymore.
48:50
So, yeah, I'm with you. Take that money. Do something useful with it besides
48:54
giving it to these greedy, greedy, greedy corporations.
48:59
