  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Right Time, a WAVE original.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: My name is Beaumont Jones. Thanks for listening wherever you

• 0:16
  Speaker 1: rate us, review us, give us five stars. You only
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: give us four stars. I'm inclined to believe you are
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a hater. It is that time of week where we
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: have a guest join us. He got a book coming
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: out soon. I don't really know the name of it.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It's always tricky when I'm talking about people who right
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: now don't have like full-time jobs. So I don't be
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: necessarily knowing how to do the introduction, but it's the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: homie Roy Wood. I think that's where I'm supposed to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: say a man who needs no introduction. I probably could
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: have done that. But now I see through that when
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: people do it. I'm like, oh, you just can't remember
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: what the things were.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: It's like when black comics bring you on stage. Y'all
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: seen them on all the shows. Common View, BET, Dead Jam.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Show your love. Death Jam ain't been on in almost
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: 20 years. Ain't nobody seen me on it. You seen
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: them on all the sketches and then doing the thing
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: on the clubs and colleges all over. Yeah, man. Good
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: to see you, man. Man and Many Fathers available for pre-order.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Grab that. It's a good Christmas gift, ladies. Get that
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: for your man who ain't doing shit in your life.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to getting my copy of the book
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: so that I can then have you on the show
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to talk about it. And of course, as somebody who
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: knows you and we have group chat dinners and who
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: has a bit of an understanding of what comes with
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that title, Man of Many Fathers, I think you guys
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: are going to greatly enjoy this book that I have
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: not even read yet. But the vision is seen.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Coming to you live from a Midtown hotel while a
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: contractor tears up my house because there's apparently a water
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: leak in my walls that I didn't know about for
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: two years.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Ooh, and that is always the condo dilemma of who
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: do the walls belong to?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Bro, bro, finna have some meetings with these folks above
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: me because I don't know what y'all been doing. And
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: my AC been leaking for so long, I need to
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: go downstairs to the folks under me and just be like, hey,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: my bad. I ain't even know the water pump was broke.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: It is what it is, man. Home repairs have you
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: wanting to just live in a tent the rest of
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: your life. I get why white people be living in
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: them little tiny houses and them storage containers. You got
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: to deal with none of this bullshit.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Brother, let me tell you something. I own a house
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in North Carolina. And I got a tenant who lives
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: in the house, but the tenants are my people. And
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: quite honestly, I'm the most generous landlord in the world, right? Like,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing this to make money. The money that
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I would make off of them per month would be inhumane. Like,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: when my guy first moved in there, he was in
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: law school. He's one of my former students, right? I'm like, no.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You know, take care of it. You know, be in
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the crib. Take care of the crib. Get your life right,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: little homie. You know what I'm saying?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Like, that's what.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Right, right. That's what I'm there to provide the security
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to help. And it's been my privilege to be able
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to help them out. But brother, brother, brother, when I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: got this call in June after I had just made
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: a fairly significant purchase and they told me that the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: air conditioner went out, not just we need a new compressor,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: which is its own situation. The air conditioner went out.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, the whole joint. The whole outside joint.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: The H, the V, the A, and the C. They like, look,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the AC went out, and I'm going to be honest
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: with you, the furnace about to go out too. Brother,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, well, how much that going to cost?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: It's been a long time since somebody gave me a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: how much that going to cost, and I had to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: be like, I'm sorry, say that again. Like, even if
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't like it, it's like, all right, man, I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: got this. Man, they told me $ 15, 000. I said, what?
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: What?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Like, is there a tariff on that?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I had to have a homie tell me that his
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: cost $ 15, 000, so I didn't feel like I was getting worked.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: If you was a real landlord, you'd have just put
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: some ceiling fans in that thing and told them, keep on.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: But see, that was the thing about it, is that
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: because it was the tenant, I had to approach it
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: with a different urgency, because it's June, it's North Carolina,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I can't leave you in there with no air conditioner.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a law that says that.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Can't be done. Yeah, that feels illegal. It feels like
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: some base level, what I'm entitled to as a tenant
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: type situation. But yo, man, this home repair stuff, I
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: get why people be squatting now. You ever see them
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: videos where somebody just come home and it's just somebody
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: in your house? Yeah, that's it. We live together. That's
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: where the world's headed. You know that's where it's headed. Yes.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Folks doing bad, man. Folks doing bad. I get it, man.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I get that.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I think something about squatting that you learn in many
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: different capacities, which is on every level, people can just
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: decide not to leave. Like you really don't have that
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: many plays with somebody who's like, well, no, I'm actually,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I'm just not going to go. Right. Like, like that was,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: That was kind of the Donald Trump January 6th situation.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: That is trying to get your money out of any lawsuit.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: That can be a breakup in a relationship. Also, I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: see it very often with you guys parenting. Now that
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you had to take the driver out of the bag now,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and all you got is you got to have a
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: strong iron game. You can't just rear back and knock
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: 300 yards like you used to. You ain't got a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: whole lot of plays. The little homie's just like, no,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to bed.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, dude, yeah. It's just not much you can do.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I almost feel like, in a weird way, I respect
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: squatting because you're just betting that they're not a gun owner.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: You're basically just going, this nice, I saw you leave
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: for work, I know your patterns, so I'm going to
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: just walk in your crib and now I live here.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: And I'm just never leaving and I dare you to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: put hands on me.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: And if people don't.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, part of it is that the squatting
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: population is typically a group of people that you don't
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: want to put your hands on. You just don't want
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: to touch them.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I do think the more we get into these smart
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: locks though, evictions are going to take on a different look.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: And it'll just be, I lock you out of your
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: house type situations. I mean, you can break in, you
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: can figure out a way to pop a window or
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: something like that. But like the new way, like how
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: they have the kill switches on your car. And if
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: you miss a car note, your car just turn off.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: And then I think they changed it to it just
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: won't start again because folks' cars were just turning off
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: on the freeway in the left lane. Oh, good point.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: The repo kill switch.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It can't happen in motion.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: It can't happen.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: They had that.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Repo kill switch, your ass merging in front of an 18-wheeler.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: You know how you get in front of an 18-wheeler?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: You weren't supposed to merge in front of it, but
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: you got in it because you know you got a
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: V6 and then that thing just....
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Can't have that. That's a great point. You can't have this.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: You can't. You also just made me think about something
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that I had not considered with that is that are
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: they putting the repo man out of business?
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: No, somebody still got to come get the truck. Certain
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: stuff AI can't do. You can't Tesla auto-drive a repo.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: So this is the thing.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: You can barely auto-drive a taxi way more to pick
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: people up.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: But does it make the repo man's job less hazardous?
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Because I don't feel like the repo man is a
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: consistent topic of conversation like it was, say, 30 years
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: ago when there was actually a wrestler named the repo
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: man because people was getting their shit repossessed at such
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: staggering rates. But everybody, well, I mean, I guess you
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: young people maybe don't, but the repo man has a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: very simple job. You stop paying your car note and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the repo man, according to a very particular set of laws,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: that is entitled to pull the truck up, catch up
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: your car and take it with him. The problem with
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that for the repo man is very self-evident, which is.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: People will shoot you before they let you take their car.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Even if the car isn't really theirs, the car now
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: belongs to the bank. No, no, no, no, no. The
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: repo man got ahead at heat because that other man
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: got that heat. I had a professional in college who
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: told me that he used to ride around with the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: repo man when he was in high school for extra money.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And if something happened, and the repo man pulled up
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and buddy pulled the heat out the window and the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: repo man pulled his heat back and the only person
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: that didn't have the heat was him and he realized
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: very quickly that riding around with the repo man had
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: a lot more to it he was like it would
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: be funny they go pull up people's cars and they
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: be all mad and screaming and pointing down.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: The way but the repo man cold with it now
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: you seen a new tow truck tech they yanking them
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: in the get in the time there's videos in the
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: time it takes you to go inside the gas station
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to pay for your gas gone Gone. They pull up
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: no chains, no nothing. They put two lifts up under
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: them front two tires. Rear wheel, front wheel, don't matter.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Got it. And then they take it around the corner
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: and secure it. But they can lift and roll your
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: shit in under 30 seconds, bro. The real repo job
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: ain't even cars. I had a partner in college who
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: used to do repos for Rent-A-Center. And I'm telling you,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: everything they showed on that TV show Southside, That sitcom,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: it's real. You got to knock on somebody's door for
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: a love scene. Now, you want to talk about knowing
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: that you coming? You know Rent-A-Center coming because they call you.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: four or five times. Hey, you missed a $ 12 payment
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: on the VCR. I got to come get that VCR
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: from you. And my dog in college is going up
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: to grade. He's like 18, 19 years old. And these
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: are the homes of grown-ass uncles, 45, 50 years old.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: With that old man strength. Come on in here and
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: get the sofa. And this is the fucked up part.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: My dog would have to go and repo a sofa,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: but had to move it himself because they wouldn't help him.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: So you move a big ass Oakwood sectional at 19
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: dolo in somebody's house who calling you ain't shit to
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: your face the whole time you dragging it out the
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: door for $ 7. 50 an hour.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Well, hold on. Forget about the idea that you're expected
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to move this furniture by yourself. How about the very
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: realistic possibility that it's about to be a fight and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: you are going by yourself into a home where once
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you get past the door, todo es posible. There's no
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: telling who is on the other side of this door.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Once you get there, right? Like, I once got the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: bright idea when I was in college that me and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the homie was going to go kick somebody's door down over...
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: It's a long story, but it involves both money and
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a girl, right? So, there's a lot to it. And
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: my brother explained to me that what's on the other
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: side of that door? First of all, the idea that I... Well, okay.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't... for there to be door kicking. I was
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: not a door kicker, but I absolutely called somebody who
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: was not only up for the task, who every day
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: woke up hoping that somebody would call him and ask
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: him to do something similar to kick somebody's door.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Give me the dollar amount at stake. I don't need
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: any of the details, but just give me the retail
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: price of whatever this conflict was about.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: It was less than $ 20.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Jesus Lord. The principality. The principality death. Okay. Okay. It was...
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: He's lucky to be here.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: No, we didn't do it. We didn't do it. We
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: didn't do it. I realized I didn't need to do
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: it when I called my man and was like, yo,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I might need you to go with me to... Don't
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: say no more. Just show up over here and I
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: got you. And I noticed right there, oh, this could
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: get out of hand really fast.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: So a stripper stole my class ring in college. And.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: What did she think she was going to get for that?
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Weird way to start a sentence. But, and this is,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: and I'm not even plugging my book. I like, I
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: told the story in the book, but we had somebody's birthday.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: We let, we had the part, like you remember in college,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: there was always one group of friends that lived off
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: campus that had to jump an apartment. And that apartment
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: was like social center. That was the pregame and apartment
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: before you went out to the club. We had the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: pregame apartment, our apartment, was party central. Half the people
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: in there wasn't on the lease. And so we had
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: a birthday party for somebody and somebody got a dancer.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: She came, she danced. End of the night, I go
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: upstairs and I'm going, you know, I'm like putting my
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: watches away or whatever. And I noticed I have no
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: more watches. And then I look over there and my
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: little high, and it's a high school class ring, but
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: it's mine. It's gone. So I tell everybody, I go downstairs,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: y'all check your shit. She got us.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: She got us.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Everybody went upstairs, showed up. She worked her way from
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: room to room and picked out everybody's nice little jewelry,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: little hair and bones, whatever. Next thing I know, we
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: ride through Tallahassee and Frenchtown with a baseball bat looking
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: for a man named Lucius, who's the one who booked her,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: who they booked it through. And then halfway through just
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: walking down the street, you know how you catch a
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: glimpse of yourself, like in a reflection moment, in the
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: glass of somebody's car. I was like, what are we doing?
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: We ain't no killers. She got us. It's okay. It's
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: a high school class. And I ain't thought about it.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Number one, high school class ring, one of the greatest
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: grifts of all time in the history of the school system.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: But also, if you're not a killer, if you're not
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: for real psychotic about that, you have no place even
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: remotely trying to... But you know, this was... Late 90s,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Master P, No Limit Soldier, I Thought I Told You,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Pastor Troy, No More Play. So you was hype. You
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: thought you could do it. But nah, man, you got
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: to take your ass home, man. $ 20, you trying to
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: kick a door in? Come on, bro.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Brother, in high school, I remember this. This is the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: last night before I went to Atlanta for a summer program,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Stark College. Me and the homie Raylan. Shout out to
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: homie Raylan. If y'all know Raylan Neverland in Houston, tell
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: him I said what's happening. I think I got his number,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: but it may not be the same. I ain't talk
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to him in a minute, right? But anyway, rolling with him.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: He rolled with a couple of cats that became very
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: famous rappers down the line. And we Northside Houston types, right?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: That's where we are. We on the Northside of Houston.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: And for those of you who are from the Northside
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: of Houston or a particular part of Northside of Houston,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: you will understand where this gets to be a little
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: bit funny. We were going to, and all we knew
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: was this dude, Josh, was throwing a pool party in Inwood, okay?
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Now, is Northside black and hood or black and successful,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: like black middle class?
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I would say black working class is probably more accurate, but...
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the issue with Inwood is there are a whole bunch
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: of permutations of Inwood, right? So like in Atlanta where
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: people talk about like it's 50 different Peachtrees. Yeah, but
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: if you say Peachtree, you're talking about Peachtree. Nobody's calling
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Peachtree industrial Peachtree or West Peachtree Peachtree. If you say Peachtree,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: you mean Peachtree. If you mean Inwood, anything is possible.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: But we get to Roland and this is a very
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: 1997 sort of story, right? Because there are no cell phones.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: We got a couple of pagers in the crew or whatever.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: We riding around in an Isuzu rodeo and we know
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: that there's a pool party in Inwood. And as we're rolling,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: we're meeting more people who are also looking for this
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: pool party in Inwood. And nobody knows exactly where the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: pool party is. By now, our convoy got like three,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: four cars. It's some cute girls in another SUV that's
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: rolling with us. I remember I got one of their
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: phone numbers. It was a shame because I was moving
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the next day, right? But we was just rolling around.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Couldn't find, we spent all night, had so much fun
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: not finding this pool party until finally the homie Aaron
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: was like, Let's go to that motherfucker's house. And so
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: now two of our cars are pulling up to Josh's house. Okay.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: We're pulling up to Josh's house. And this is in Houston.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I want to remind you, we're all 16, 17, right?
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Like this is the age range. We're out past the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: team curfew for Harris County. And we outside, we in
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the cul-de-sac, somebody screaming. And the next thing I know,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: we looked up. And we saw a movement in that
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: upstairs window. And it dawned on all of us at
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the same time. We are in Texas. It is late
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: at night. And we are causing a disturbance. We are
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: not just cruising for a bruising. We are shooting to
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: get shot. And we jumped in cars and we bailed
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: out like Starsky and Hutch.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Better get on the Waffle House and live to fight
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: another day.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We rolled out. We rolled out.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: We're out and going back to the crib. You know
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying? This is what we did, you know?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not a fighter. I am where I am now. Like,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I'm the type of person that I would like... There's
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: one comedian I'm going to do this to for sure,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: but like, I'm the type of person where I would
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: create a fake company and a full digital profile and
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: maintain it for two years and then create a LinkedIn
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: profile and pick your resume and then interview you three
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: times for the job and then tell you you're not
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: going to get the job.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: You're going to do a camera idea to Omar Gooden.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: If that's not one of the weirdest beefs of 2025,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: of all the beefs that so far this year, what
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: do we have right now? We have Shador Sanders versus racism.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: We have... Who's Cam Newton going at? Cam Newton was
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: going at something.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, going at Gillian Kidd, by the way. That's 10-8
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: round after 10-8 round. Yeah.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's... You're going to give Gilly a nine? Gilly
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: ain't got a nine?
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: He is... When he hit Gilly with, did you know
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: that Gilly the Kid had an album called Giladelphia and
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I did not know that? That was a knockout punch.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Cam Newton's got to be one of the most astute
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: but also petty. It's like he uses his powers for
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: good but then when he wants, he's like, Yeah, let
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: me go on and just tear you down real quick
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: just because I got the time. I didn't have Omar
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Gooden versus Cameron on my black people beef.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: And for those of you who don't know, I don't
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: even remember where the start of the beef comes from.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, it doesn't. Cameron cast Omar Gooding for a
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: part in a movie and paid him $ 7, 500. But the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: movie isn't real. He booked him and travel for a
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: movie that isn't real and then got him to sign
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: a waiver of sorts and put the movie on revolt
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: or something like that? They shot the scenes. Yeah.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: He shot scenes for a film that wasn't real that
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: was never going to come out. The only part of
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: the beef and granted this is Cameron and he doesn't
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: have borders or like he leaves you alone and then
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: he goes all the way to, he don't take it
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: to 10, he take it to 12. the only part
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: of that beef I was like, eh, you put the
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: man's rate out there. Yeah. Now you're messing with his
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: ability to feed his family going forward because, please believe,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Hollywood is paying attention to that part of the beef.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: They're locked in on that part. They'll do that because
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: the way it works in entertainment, your quote is your quote,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: so once you work lower than You can never work
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: for less than what you were paid to do the
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: same role, like the same credit, like guest star, supporting actor,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: like whatever, right? So if Cameron paid him less than
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: his rate, and I don't know Omar's regular rate, but
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: if Cameron paid him less than his rate and then
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: put out there what his rate was, then the next
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: person to hire Omar, if they want, they can play
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: hardball with him. And granted, Omar Gooden's got a, what,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: a 30-year resume around this bitch, so He probably could
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: stand tall and get the money he's supposed to get,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: but when you put out what you paid the man,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: that was the part.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I was like, eh.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: That's Rick Ross 50 Cent Baby Mama sex tape land. Yeah.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Let's keep it man to man.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that man likes me. I said after the
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Kendrick Drake thing, I'm glad my ass can't rap. And
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I'm glad me and Cam is cool.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: I got a local dip set, man. You know they
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: used to put my pranks on some of they mixtapes.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to admit, you doing pranks, that seems
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: right up the particular alley.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Of those guys.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I was going to refer.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'm trying to figure out how to say this
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: so it can't get chopped up and aggregated, but I
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: was going to say that is the particular alley of
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: asshole that would be theirs, but then I thought about
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: what an asshole alley could be. You know what, we
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: gonna come right back and we gonna talk about when
• 22:35

• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Back with Roy Wood Jr. The reason I had you
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: on was, and I found this to be very interesting.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I was making a run over to Europe. You were
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: over to Europe. We were close, but not close enough
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to catch up. And you had said, and another homie
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: we got in a group chat, that y'all was going
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: to be in Scotland. He said he was going to
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: be in Scotland. And then I knew you were going
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: to be in one of the lands. You know what
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? I was going to be in London. Couldn't
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: get it together. But then after you had decided to make,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: while you was over there, black people in America found
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: out it was black people in Scotland?
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Bro, I land on Saturday. In Edinburgh. Edinburgh. Pardon me.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: That's how they say it.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Edinburgh. It's like they're worse than the people from Louisville.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I was about to say, that's the Antigua. Yeah, that's
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: the Antigua.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Not Antigua. Yeah, yeah. It's the same. So I land
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: in Edinburgh on Saturday, and it's already bubbling up that
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: you got one brother. His name is Twitter Starboy Fitness.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: but they call them Sterling K. Broon or whatever. It's
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: a dude who looked like Sterling K. Brown who sounds
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Scottish and is confusing Black folks because Black Americans, we
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: get weirded out over any type of accent. And so
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: when you look like me but sound different, so there's
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: a novelty to it. So I was over there for
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: a TV festival. I have my son. We have an itinerary.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: We have things and activities lined up to do. And
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: the second day, They're viral. And I'm just thinking to myself, bro,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm over here. And I think I want
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: to talk to one of these Negroes. I think that
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: would be the right thing to, because they were, because
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: folks in the comments were asking these folks, the Black Scots, Amelia,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: excuse me, the Black Brits who live in Scotland. We'll
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: talk about that in a second. They were asking them
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: a million questions. And I was like, this might be
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: a fun, just why not? go talk to people. So
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I make a video, throw a kite up, say, hey,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: I'm here if you want to talk to me. DMs
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: get flipped. Now, mind you, I'm somebody who really don't
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: use TikTok on a regular basis. I check my TikTok
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: like twice a week. I'm not on it every day,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: like IG and Twitter and all of that, right?
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, so you're an occasional crack smoker.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Not no more. That shit is good. Not no more.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: I've been on TikTok every day for the last week
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: and a half. So... I started getting hit up by
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: all these different folks. And it turns out one of
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: them I'd already followed. So I'd start shooting DMs and
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: they were like, yeah. And I didn't want to just
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: talk to dudes. I wanted to talk to some, talk
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: to some women too. So I just, next thing I know,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I have an itinerary of interviews to go and do.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: And my man, Starboy, he lives over in Glasgow. So
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I had to take a car out that way to
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: go and, Interview him and then just started lining up
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: all these interviews, man. And then I just put them
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: all together into one little thing and put it out. And,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: you know, I've been trying to work on some sort
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: of talk show project for the last two months anyway.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: So this kind of fell in line with what I'm
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: trying to ideate. You know, as much as I love CNN,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I just don't trust media. You know, media can pivot
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: on you in a heartbeat. So I just want to
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: make sure I got a 1B situation as well. But
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: it was dope talking to him. I learned a lot. Also,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I was very leery about putting this stuff out, man, because,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: you know, you start getting into diaspora conversations. It got
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: a little dicey in the comments because, you know, it
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: also starts this conversation about the Black American experience versus
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: being a first-generation immigrant natively born in a country that's
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: not yours. You know what I'm saying? And so I
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: still think there's some merit to if you are melanated
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: and you are born in a non-melanated place and you
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: are raised in a non-melanated place, there has to be
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: something unique to your experience. And I was curious about it.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: And so that's what I went over there and just
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: talked to folks about. I think once you start getting into, okay,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: you're from Ghana, Your parents are from Ghana, but moved
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: here and you were born here. Well, you need to
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: go back to Ghana and experience being Ghanaian. And this
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Scottish stuff is not who you are. If you're 35
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: with two kids and a Scottish wife, there's something different
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: about you than someone native to Ghana that grew up
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: in Ghana and got five, six generations. But I do
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: think it was a real interesting conversation with these folks.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: just about how our culture, how Black culture spreads across
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: the globe and the sense of identity and individuality that
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: you may feel in a place that foreign and the
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: kinship you might feel with Black Americans. And this is
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: the wild shit, bro, is that they get all of
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: the Black culture but are taught none of the Black history.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Black American, they get Black American culture, but they aren't
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: taught any Black American history. I'm not saying they necessarily should,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: because we are not taught any of the stuff over there.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: But I do find it interesting that Black American history
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: is suppressed in a lot of international school systems. And
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I think part of that is because they don't want
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: people over there to see and know. what is actually
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: possible and what you're capable of becoming. You know, I
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: don't know. I think it's all unique to whatever the
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: level of racism is in that particular country. But I'm
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: happy I did it. I just didn't eat no food.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Everybody was trying to get me to do food. And
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I was trying to tell Black folks in the comments,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not Keith Lee, man. I'm not. In my opinion
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: of this food, it's not going to change your restaurant
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: and you're going to have a line around the door, man.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: I eat like trash. You see my physique.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Brother, that's what I was about to say. You looking
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: at it the wrong way. You saying you see my physique,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: therefore my opinion don't matter. And they are looking at
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: you like that man look like he know what he
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: talking about. Let me tell you, man, they ain't about
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: to let me go around. If I go over there
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: to Scotland, ain't nobody going to be hitting me like, yo, man,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: you got to tell us what the food is like.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: They ain't going to be like, yo, so did you
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: eat over there?
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Nah. It is interesting to see how Black Americans perceive you, though,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: because nobody was like, telling me to go to the
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: clubs and none of that. Like, ask them questions about
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: the Middle Passages. I'm like, God damn, dude. These are
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: street interviews. That's a sit-down couch question.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: So I just want to say this, right? I had
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: not considered Black Scots, I don't have a great handle.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Like all that stuff over there that ain't England, right?
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: If it's not London, it's kind of all the same
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: to me. You know, it's.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: The United Kingdom of England, Scotland.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Wales, which is a theory to me. I don't know
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: shit about no Wales. And then Northern Ireland. And I
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: guess it makes sense. It would be some Black people
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: in Scotland. It never dawned on me that per this
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Google search, there is 65,000 Black people in Scotland. I
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: don't know exactly how they are distributed, but I figured
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: that Yes, there would be Black people in Scotland, but
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: they would all be dating white women, not necessarily because
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: they love white women, but just because by the time
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: you got to the 11th grade, you had dated all
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: the Black girls. And either you was going to be
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: married or you had to branch out.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, less than 100,000 Black folks in a country with
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: 5.5 million people total. So you probably ain't got a
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: lot of options. And most of the Black folks are
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: in the major cities, so they're not spread out in
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: the Highlands somewhere. That was the other thing, was the
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: idea of, people who know about black scots getting mad
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: at dumb americans for realizing that it was black scots
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: were actually a thing because there's i mean i think
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: here's the thing we really deal with on the internet
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: that i think is fucked up is that people who
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: already know something get mad at people who are just
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: discovering the thing that they already right and Somehow, because
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I just now found out about it, rather than celebrate
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: the fact that I'm finally on your intellectual level, you
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: will shame and cuss me out and call me dumb.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: When you know for a fact I wasn't taught none
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: of that shit. And the whole UK, Great Britain, England,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: if I went on the street right now, Jordan Klepper style,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: and I asked people, what is Great Britain? What is England?
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: And what is the UK? 80, 70% of them people
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: are going to think all three of them countries are
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: the same. I thought it for a long time. Because
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: you're just not taught this whole European Union. Like, maybe
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: you were, or maybe you were, but not everybody. Dog,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I went to Alabama, Birmingham public schools. We was too
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: busy learning the second verse to lift every voice and sing.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: So pardon me if I thought Ireland was still in
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: the UK. It's not. Ireland dipped in the 1920s.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: The UK to me feels like if it was a
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: country that was New York, Connecticut, or Rhode Island. There
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: is definitely one of these that is carrying the rest
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: of you.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: But if you go there and you tell somebody from
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Rhode Island that you think they're from New York, so
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: in college... So if I am you, to us, most Southerners,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: if you lived at this time, I don't think it's
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: the same now, but at the time, in the eyes
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: of most Southerners who were just learning about the East
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Coast and East Coast culture, if you lived D.C.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Or North, you were from New York.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: It's all New York. You're from New York. I don't
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: have time to separate you into Phillies, But when you
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: meet somebody from Philly and you say, you New York man,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: I'm tired of you New York man. Infuriated. Don't you dare.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Don't you ever call me New York. You're wearing a
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: bubble vest with no sleeves, big dog. New York. And
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: low key, some of them boys from North Carolina would
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: wear the high top Timbs because they thought they was DMX.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: New York.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: You're a New York nigga that lived down south.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like the idea that Philly and New York, I
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: knew they were different places, but I didn't think they
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: were different things. Does that make sense?
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: It all seemed... And look, I ain't feel so bad
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: about it, because they damn sure was doing the same
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: thing to us.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you go over... Oh, my God. Birmingham
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: is Mississippi, is Tennessee. The only cities they had real
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: respect for was Miami and New Orleans in those days,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: because they were still with... Atlanta wasn't fully embraced yet
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: by New York culture, not in the mid-90s. You couldn't
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: wrap your head around the fact that Atlanta was a
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: culturally different place, and then they finally had to accept it.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: The thing I really learned from over there, though, is
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: that there's such a cultural difference, much like the East Coast,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: to all of those places over there, that there is
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: something interesting about being melanated over there. And I'm using
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: the word melanated specifically because I also discovered on this
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: journey that I don't think as Black folks across the globe,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think we have a cohesive agreement on what
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Blackness is. And I think that my conversations with some
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: of these Scottish people were interpreted as me trying to
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: process them solely based on black and comparing them to
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: black Americans but it's just more of a hey it's
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: not a lot of you over here what's it like
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: for you here and just starting from that question and
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: just letting the conversation go where it may.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: They do understand that they hilarious objectively speaking right like
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: like I was in London and I met a black
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: woman and she sounded just like me Jagger you understand
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying like I guess that ain't funny over there,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: but that is a hoot in this house.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: As a Southerner who's been asked by Northerners to repeat
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: words so they can laugh at me, I try not
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: to just chuckle at people.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no. We talk about two
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: different things, though. We talk about two different things, though.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Because them Northerners are judging you, right? What I am
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: speaking to is the phenomenon of cognitive dissonance. which is
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: something completely different, right? Like what I don't have the
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: sophisticated ear for as it stands right now is what
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: is the English version of a black scent? Again, I
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: assume that Mick Jagger and them did their best, but
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: when they try to sound like black people, they sound
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: like Americans. I be listening to that England rap and
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: but it don't, look, all I know is that when
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: that black man started sounding like, I can't even say
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Roddy Roddy Piper because he ain't even really Scotch. You
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? But when that black man sounded
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: like he had a kilt on, you have to understand, brother,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: that's a, it's kind of like, you haven't met.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: An Asian from Louisiana. It's jarring for a minute. Oh, bro,
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: we had so many Asians with Birmingham accents.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Growing up.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Or
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: my favorite phenomenon, the Chinese Jamaican.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: I still have not seen this. People keep talking about this.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: There was also some black Russians that were coming up
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: in the TikTok comments. I might go to, they were
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: telling me to go to Russia. I was like, I'll
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: talk to the black Italians or something like that. Like
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: if you're a native.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: I ain't going to Russia. I ain't going to Russia.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: The block hot right now.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, look, shout out to Paul. Shout
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: out to Paul Robeson. Don't get me wrong, but I
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: ain't going.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Cause I know y'all ain't coming to get me.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: No, not that I know you're not going to get me.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: And she's good at basketball. I don't do shit.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, last thing I need is Putin finding out that
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to get all the black people together. They
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: might think it's the revolution.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: You need to go talk to the black people in Moscow.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: You go.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: No, no, not only that. Clearly, they don't want to
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: talk to me. Like, I still feel like you go
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: to Moscow because you want to hang out with the
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: other black people.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you're black and born in Moscow, that's
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: not your fault. That's just where you are. Them your people,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: that's your life.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying, somebody got you there in the first
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: place is what I'm saying.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm... Nigga, meet me in Brussels. Yes. I'm
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: not going to Moscow. No. That's all I'm saying. But
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: the other interesting thing is that you learn the differences
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: in the accents as well. There is a difference to
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: the Scottish accent. To the naked ear, if you haven't
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: heard either enough, but being over there for just a week,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: That Scottish accent versus the English, like a London accent.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: I'm not even talking about the countryside of England or whatever.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: I feel like British, oh, that's the other thing. Because
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: it's all Great Britain, technically you're all Black Brits, whether
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: you're in Wales, Northern Ireland, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: But then within that, you're Scottish. Does that make sense?
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: So the way we've been using Black Brits as Americans
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: is technically wrong because we associate Black Brit to just England.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: More specifically, just London. Because we also thought Great Britain
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: was fucking England because that's what you told us in
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: the Olympics. You'd have an athlete with Great Britain on
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: their chest. And we go, okay, well, that must be,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: it's like Russia versus USSR. Okay, your Olympic name is
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: a different name from your slang name. Yes.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: And by the way, so that people understand the difference.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: It's important. Great Britain is that island, right? That island
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: is Great Britain. So Northern Ireland is in the United Kingdom,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: but it is not British because it is on Ireland,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: the island of Ireland, And it's a lot of beef
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: going on over there.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: See, and that's where I just check out. Because I'm
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: just like, y'all all from over there. It's like when
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: you get into like.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Hawaiians and Samoans.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: They do that.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: They do that.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: They do that.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: When am I going to have time during the day
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: to learn all of this shit that y'all are trying to.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Get me to learn? I'm saying this, brother. You ain't
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: got to learn it. You know what I'm saying? But,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: you know, I personally... I'm not trying to scrap it
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: out with the Samoans just because I'm lazy, right? Like,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know who feels exactly what at what point.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: I respect all of it, but I have not taken
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: the proper time that I should to understand the nuanced
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: differences between country and culture when it comes to anything culture. Hawaiian, Polynesian, Samoan.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Polynesian, Polynesian, Polynesian, right there.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: There we go. I don't even know if that's the
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: right word. I might be using the wrong word right now.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: You don't know.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Look, Polynesian is the catch-all that works, even though I
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: be looking at a lot of them boys' hair, and
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: I know that if they grew up anywhere around me,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't be calling them no Polynesians. You need to do.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Polynesian on to talk about this shit. I'm not finna
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: get into it. with them Polynesians, because they'll show up
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: and hock a dance at my live show.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: CCC, now you're making it worse.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: You can't perform through when that dance is loud.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: That look on their face, when they get to doing that,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, man, they be talking about scaring the girls.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: The girls are scaring me.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it was interesting in just learning, all right,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: there's much more to be learned about the culture of being,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: you know, we are the global majority. I also try
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: to be very careful about that minority word. It's just,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: you're a minority.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't use it.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Globally, we're number one. Rah, rah, rah. But I learned
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: a lot. I'm going to do it again. I'm supposed
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: to go to, I got my book right here. I'm
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: supposed to go to London in December. The show dates
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: aren't public yet. And then I'm supposed to go to Netherlands.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: That should be interesting, too.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. I just got back from both of those.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I heard that Scottish accent. You know what
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: it is? The Scottish accent hits... The ones I heard
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: hit them front syllables harder. Uh-huh. Whereas the British accent
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: is very soft. Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. They are not the same.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Shador Sanders is the third-string quarterback.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, that is it. But now you sounded like a
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Scottish Nigerian right there. But it is a very important
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: thing that the British accent in different dialects, it's almost
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: like speaking French in that you take off the last consonant. Right?
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: It's better to do the thing you said you were going.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: You know, like you leave off that joint. Like I
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: was peeping a lot of that game when I was
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: over there on that. I want to get one thing
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: because I know you got to go in a second,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: but I need to ask this before we go. And honestly,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I may not be able to because it could go
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: so far. I was going to ask you about Shadour Sanders.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: You and I agree on a very important point, which
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: is we try to ascribe good decision making to the
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. However, I feel like our people are in
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: full on conspiracy mode, which is putting me in many
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: cases in the position of being the person, not so
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: much defending the white people, but saying I don't necessarily
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: think they that bad. And I don't like how this
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: neighborhood feels.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: I don't think that they are putting Shador in the
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: best possible situations to show what he can do, but
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: also it is the Browns. Deshaun Watson is guaranteed every penny.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: These are the Browns. They had Julio Jones, and now
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: they don't. These are the Browns, bro. Like, it... It's
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: a history of bad decisions as a franchise. And so
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: I just think this is just another log on the
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: dysfunctional fire of that organization. I think that ultimately, you know,
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: what happens when Deshaun Watson comes back? That's the other
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: question that nobody's talking about. Was it 230 mil guarantee? Like,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: does he suit up again? I just hope you get
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: some garbage time situations early in the season where Shador
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: can get in and get some reps, but he's the
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: third stringer. They're not going to give him, you're not
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: going to get a lot of reps. Isn't there a rule,
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: like once the third stringer's in, you can't even go
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: back to the other?
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: That's if you are like the emergency quarterback, but you are. Look, man,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: I have seen this point made, and I think that
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: this is an important one, and I'm curious your thoughts.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: The number one pick in the draft this year was
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: a black dude who started off as a zero-star recruit,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: went to incarnate word, and then took his black ass
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: to Washington State before getting to Miami, making himself the
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: number one overall pick, and he looks pretty good. And
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: people who could easily be supporting him in that, which
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: is an actual sports story, are instead leaning on the
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: reality television element that is Shador Sanders. And that is
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: not Shador's fault, But I do think it is a
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: bad look for people who say that they are sports
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: fans to not latch on. When Nike put the commercial out,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: the advertisement out after the first preseason game, I'm like,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: come on, baby. We're not even talking about sports no more.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's culture. That's selling ads. That's what
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: Nike's going to do.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: But Nike always sold winners. You ain't going to find
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: too many examples of Nike's doing commercials for a dude
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: that kind of sort of might not make the team.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: But Shador is selling perseverance. So in spite of falling
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: to the fifth pick.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: What is he persevered?
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: Persevered the fuck shit of falling all the way down
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: to the fifth pick. Fifth round when y'all said I
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: should have been going higher.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: That's what we call perseverance now.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Is that not the league having a thumb on your
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: neck just a little bit? So he's not swimming upstream
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: at all? Shadur ain't swimming upstream at all?
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: That does not count as swimming upstream. Perseverance, is he
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: doing it with a torn labrum? No, that is not swimming.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: The zero-star recruit, that boy swam upstream. His daddy didn't
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: coach the team.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Shadur put up numbers. Now, wait a minute. Now, we're
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: not going to act like Shadur was throwing 48 picks.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not acting like he.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: Put up 48 picks. What was his win percentage in Colorado?
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: It was like 600%, right?
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: It wasn't terrible. I'm just saying.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: He wasn't Tim Tebow.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: What he did was not swim upstream. That's all I'm saying.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: I'm saying that this man has taken a few licks
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: that were probably undeserved. I don't know if it's enough
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: to wholly go racism. I think it's definitely... You trying
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: to teach the, well, no, that is racism because it'd
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: be black folks.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you, let me ask you a question.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: But this isn't go march in the street, make a
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: sign in front of the Brown stadium. I'm not going
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: to put on a blue vest like D-Ray. Go down
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: to Cleveland.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: You telling me that boy is not looking like a
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: fifth round pick because he's looking like a fifth round pick.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't know because they don't play him enough, Bomani.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: So I don't have enough information.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Which is another way of saying he looked like a
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: fifth-round pick.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: He looked like a fifth-round pick when he threw them
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: two touchdowns. When he threw them two touchdowns, y'all were like, oh, hmm, hmm. Well,
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: let's see what he does next week. Let's see what
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: he does. How many other fifth-round picks was y'all going, hmm,
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: can't wait to see what happens next week? It's because
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: you believe something's there. Now, he's got to have an
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: opportunity to prove or disprove it. I'm just saying he
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: hasn't been given that yet. And part of why he
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: hasn't been given it is because it's the Browns. And
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: you have to, that slots the racism-tivity of it back
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: to the middle for me.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Good to hear that. Oh, Shador out here playing with
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: one arm while everybody else got two. I'm not saying
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: he's Rudy.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: But when does he get a chance now? Like, okay,
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: you the Browns, you the coach now. So when does
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: Shador get, because now he's screwed. You're the third stringer.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Well, he just moved up on the draft, the depth
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: chart on Tuesday because the Browns traded Kenny Pickett. So now,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: It's only three left. And so what that means is
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, Dylan Gabriel, and Shador. Joe Flacco going to
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: start the season. His old ass, if he don't break
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: his hip, is just going to be sorry. And then
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel going to move up. And then at some point,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Shador going to get his opportunity. Everybody need to realize that.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Don't you worry. He going to get his chance for
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: the exact reason you said, because it's the Browns and
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: they sorry.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: Shador is going to come in. What's the O-line situation
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: in Cleveland? That's also another question. Because sometimes y'all don't
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: be judging folks you know unfairly off of.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: That too this is this is this is what everybody and.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Then y'all gonna say we're making excuses.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: For shidua because you are um and this is the
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: key why.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: Do we make that excuse for tour tour was getting
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: his ass knocked out yeah but no that old line
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: was not protecting that boy that was one of the
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: first things they had to start drafting up Do we
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: get to make that excuse for Shador down.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: The road when he gets sacked? This is a football
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: adage to take for you forever, and the statistics bear
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: this out. This is very important. Sacks are a quarterback stack.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Getting the ball out is the responsibility of the quarterback.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Them sacks that boy was taking over the weekend, those
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: were not the fault of the offensive line. They wasn't good.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: He wasn't no better than them. I think it's the
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: point that people are not catching. But they're like, he's
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: not getting out there with the good offensive line. The
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: offensive line is like, we ain't out there with the
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: good quarterback. What you got now?
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: We'll never know. If all that boy got is a
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: two Mississippi to throw the ball every time, then all
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: we're doing is running short, quick release routes.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: That's fine.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: When does he get a five Mississippi, bro?
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Then throw those. The problem is he doesn't throw those.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: If all you got is two steps and throw, it's
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: two steps and throw.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: Man, Shadoo was eight for nine with 22 yards. That
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: ain't enough to get it done in this league. I
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: tell you that much.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: That's all they'll say.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: I did not expect. I didn't expect that the homie
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: was going to be one of them. I thought he
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: was going to be laughing at people like you.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: I'm saying that we are in an endless cycle. We
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: will never be able to make an excuse for Shador.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: It has to be Bugs Bunny, one versus 11, throw
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: 500 yards for four TDs, and then folks will go maybe.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: I'm saying he has not had an opportunity to suck
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: long enough, consistently enough, for you to have the stance
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: that you have. That's what I'm saying. Give him more
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: time to be trash. If he's that trash, it'll be
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: revealed later. But he won't get that time because it's
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: the Browns.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, because it's the Browns, he will get
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: that chance because everybody else is whack. So they're going
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: to cycle through all of them dudes. That's what I
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: keep trying to say. Nobody's good enough to keep the job.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: They're going to cycle through. He's going to get out there.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: And I wish him the best when he do. I
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: just don't think that we're doing no favors to this
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: dude by acting like the world is up against him.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: I agree with that. Because when you rally around him,
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: then you're giving white folks in white America something to
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: push back against, and then it creates more tension. It
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: just makes his life a little bit more hard. I
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: wish we could just ease back and let the boy
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: play football. But, you know.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to help everybody out right now. Pace yourselves, brother.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. Everybody pace themselves. You're right. Don't
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: go out in front of the Browns facility just yet.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: Especially not in these times, brother, because it'll be some
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: counter forces that show up now. Good gracious. Y'all going
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: to go out there and ice pull up.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: Hey, not everybody's afraid of ice. I'm going to just
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: say that.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, not if you saw that picture of Superman
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: doing the ice obstacle course.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: I ain't fooling with ice. I know they're coming for
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: black people eventually. Buy me a military uniform. I'm going
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: to start doing it again. It's just dressed like a military.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: You won't even bother me.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Hey, let me tell you what black people are worried about, Ice.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: It is the native African population of Harlem, USA, brother.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: They'll be out there on 116th Street like they used to. No, sir.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: Somebody put the word out in French. Y'all need to
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: lay low.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: Y'all need to chill. We'll see what you're doing, man.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Let's circle back on this round week seven.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to get his chance to play.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: I think he will. And then we're going to go
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: from there. And while you say that he has not
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: been given excuses, that's amazing because I sure see so
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: many people making them. They are in mass production. They
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: are rolling off that assembly line quick and fast. But again,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: it is not optimal circumstances for anybody.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: I can't throw if you can't block. That's all I'm saying.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: But the job of the quarterback... is to get the
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: ball out your hand.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: Well, then we need to create a stat then, damn it.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: We need to create a stat for when you don't
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: do the block, when you miss the block. Roy, Roy, Roy.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: Whatever the opposite of a pancake is.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: Roy, go look at the clock. Ain't nobody holding the
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: ball longer than him. It was the same as in
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: college and the same happened in the preseason. All I'm
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: saying is somebody blocking for you to hold the ball
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: that long.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: I never thought this would be the topic that we would.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: I know. I know. I know.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: I thought more of you, too. You know what I'm saying? Like,
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: you got me out here. Now, I was I was
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: trying to ruminate with you and be like, yo, man,
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I just got an opinion. And the next thing you know,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: you against the black people. And now people act like
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: you some kind of sellout. And you were like, yes, sellout.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: I bet it is tough. It ain't tough over here.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Me and the homies is over here playing dominoes, getting
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: ready for Shador next game, while you over there playing backgammon.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: Damn shame. Damn shame, man.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: It's Roy Wood Jr. I appreciate you, man. I appreciate you. Yeah, man.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: I still got you. You still got me. So defend
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: me when you go back to the meeting and they
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: start asking them questions about me. You go back and
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: let them know I'm still down. I'm my own man.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: That's the first thing I'm going to ask them black
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: Russians about when I get over there is whether or
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: not they like you.
• 56:29
