• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and all of the conversations that shake the room. Baby
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: now today checking in behind the scenes of the grind.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty hectic, you know, ending of the week.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I've been talking to you guys and give you updates
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: all week long on uh, you know, just this caretaker
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: side of life. You guys will probably hear in my
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: surroundings the city of New York because I'm currently sitting
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: in the car. We are doing my mom's three months
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: three month checking scan. So my mom is a stage
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: four lung and brain cancer survivor, so every three months
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: she has to check in on herself, so she checks
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: in with her doctors here in New York. They scan
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: her full body just to make sure that nothing is
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: growing since the last time they've seen her, and that
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: nothing new, no new masses of potential cancer pop up
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: anywhere in her body. And we've been doing that successfully
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: for over a year now and things have been good,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: but coming here today was a bit drastic because you guys,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: remember I had this planned. Whenever she does her scans,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: whether it's a family member that brings her up, you know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: like my brother or my cousins, any of my cousins
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: or whoever I can get to help me, I always
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: try and plan for it to be on a day where, like,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you know, work is not as like, work is not
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: as heavy. So we did that last time. I planned
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the skins on a day where I actually didn't have
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to work at all. And then we found out that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: some of her insurances, like certain things with her insurances,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: had been canceled, and that's been a whole thing. But
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and you guys know about this because we've talked about it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: We had Mimi Brown from the Black and Information Network,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: who handles you know, world news, politics, community things, talk
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to us about what the Trump administration is doing when
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: it comes to medicaid, Medicare and lack thereof and how
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: people are affected. And you know, the news got real
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: for me because I was a person that was on
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the other end of it having to deal with that.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Fast forward, we are here, she's able to get her skins.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Everything is looking good so far, but they forgot to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: do a brain scan and I wouldn't let her leave
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: without them doing it, So we are waiting for that now.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: But I wanted to make sure we got this additional
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: pieces of the podcast and for today.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: So here we go. So that's you know, my checking
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: behind the scenes of the grind.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm a little frantic today just because I've been
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: doing so much before pressing record. But y'all know we're
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: gonna bring y'all the latest either way. Now getting on
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: into the latest new music. So we got new music
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: from acet Rocky. He finally dropped his long awaited project,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Don't be dumb. This project has had several released time
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: periods and dates which did not happen. So you know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: fans is fans are going off about it. They're excited
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to finally get it. He is, he's had so much
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to talk about, you know, the last time we got
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: an album from acet Rocky.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Within that amount of time, he's had kids.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: He is now a devoted I would say husband, even
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: if they're not married, because him and Rihanna at this
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: point they married.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: But that is not me confirming anything.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Guys, I'm jokingly saying that this being is so devoted
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to Rihanna that they might as well be married.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I gotta clarify that now at this this eraror in
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: my life. But yeah, so he's you know, him and
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Rihanna are very much in love. They have their three babies.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: He is, you know, such a devoted father and we
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: see it so much. He's also graced so many different
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: magazine covers. He's become the face of brands. You know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: his career, everything is just grown. We just saw him
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and Highest to Lowest the Spike Lee movie with Denzel
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Washington and you know, being a lead man, and that
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: he's had a lot going on. The gun case which
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: he was able to walk away from, which we saw
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: him hop over that bitch when they read that not
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: guilty verdict into Rihanna's arms. There's a lot to talk
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: about here. So the album is out now. He sat
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: down with podcast, which is a podcast it's like a
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: cultural podcast that the New York Times does, and he
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: was talking to the guys over there about the project
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and he confirmed that like eighty five percent of this
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: project is new music. Because there were like little leaks
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and fake leaks so people were leaking like real things
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: from the project. But then there were like there was
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: like music created that wasn't even really the music from
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the project that people would leak and say that it
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: was music from the project.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: According to a set Rocky, so this is all new music.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: And they asked him about some shots that he took
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: at Drake.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Let's say a listen, see the Internet's gonna decide who
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: you're talking about on that.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I think we all know you're going to say it's Drake.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's a man who was with you in
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: those early days too, brought you on tour. Where do
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: things go wrong in that relationship?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, I don't know.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: I just I just started just seeing people who just
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: started out as friends and just became foes. Seemed like
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: they was unhappy for you, and you know, just started
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: sending shots. And I think that's what led to any
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: of our misunderstandings or whatever the case is.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: It's really ain't smoke.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: Does it feel resolvable to you or you think it's.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: No, they don't even need to be like for what
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: but you're.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Like no secret like that songs that songs for him?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Now, I don't really or it's for anyone.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: It's you feel like it's about them, say like or
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: let me just say that. Drake said Rocky have been
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: beefing for some time now, and it's like they throw
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: all these shots at each other. Now. A said Rocky
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: didn't have an album out, but he had been featured
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: on you know, a few different projects or songs throughout
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the year where he did take some shots back at Drake.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Drake has been throwing shots his ways as well too.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a beef that will
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: ever actually, like like we can reconcile at this point
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: because you know, aseb Rocky and a lot of people
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: have the conversation about Drake and drake'sim and the swag,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and you know, I know him and Travis Scott were
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: also into it at one point because the style comparisons
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: or whatever. But I think deeper than rap, Rihanna is
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: at the core of this. We just heard aset Rocky
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: say it in the song. Rihanna is at the core
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: of this. Not that she's like pulling the puppet strings,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: but obviously there's an issue about the fact that Drake
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: was interested in Rihanna dating or whatever they were doing
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: at one point, and that acet Rocky is the one
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: who ended up with her now as a Rocky. On
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the podcast with The New York Times, he also talked
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of about, you know, just taking accountability in
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: this new era of his life. With that gun trial
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: he went through taught him He's in a whole different
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: space and I'm so happy to see it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Let's take listen.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Were you thinking, like how did I get myself back
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: in another of these situations?
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, because every time you're in a situation like that,
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: never never again, And when it happens again, you're like.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: What the fuck is this?
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: Oh God, man, Like here we all yet again. You know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: I know you're gonna get me out of it somehow.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: But there's a lesson to be learned in this, and
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: sometimes some lessons are hard lessons, even if you're not
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: in the wrong necessarily. Guy, is a funny way, in
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: my opinion, of like just you know, humbling you or
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: just showing you.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, Okay, this is this is
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I love to see the evolution of us, whether it's men, women.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Love to see the evolution.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: But I really do like to see the evil of rappers,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: especially the male rappers, because a lot of times, especially
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: if you come from it and mind you aset Rocky
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: is not you not like a gangster rapper, but like
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: you know, you're not gonna play with them. But a
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: lot of what Aset Rocky stands on the stands for
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: it's about you know, loyalty, morals, integrity. But it's the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: it's the get fly of it all, it's the talk
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: slick of it all. It's the I'm going to exposure
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: to a life that you ain't never seen before because
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you down with the aset mob of it all. And
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that's what Aset rocket The aset Mob used to embody
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: across Tumblr and then you know, across other social media
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: sites and of course in their music. But a lot
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: of times I feel like with our rap artists, and honestly,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not even just gonna say the male rap artists,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: but I feel like with our black talent, I don't know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like we don't get the chance to and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: not a lot of that has changed in my opinion
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: more recently, because you see, like I was gonna say,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the female rap artists don't get the chance to evolve
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and be mothers and lean into career. They stay in
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: one box with that has completely changed Beyonce, Cardi b Sierra.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: On the music side, like the girls are doing it all.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: And on the rap side, you know, unfortunately, we see
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of our male rap artists lose their lives
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: or you know, drugs are in question and that happens
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: with the male and female rappers as well, or we
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: just don't support them and seeing them the way that
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: we should, so their careers die out, money drives up.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: You know, we're just not seeing them the longevity of
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: their lives, their careers and their legacies are not what
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: they should be in my opinion, and that's why I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: love to hear and see artists in the space that
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Asap Rocky is in diversifying the hell out of his portfolio.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: But he started that way and it's just getting even better.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: And I love to hear that he knows that having
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: a good woman by his side only makes that better.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: The music is back now him being a father and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: showing the world that is such a thing as well.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Like I just love to see it.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Let's cause it's inn asad Rocket just talking about you
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: know what Rihanna has been in his life and just
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: how all of that like, I feel like that like
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: just glows you up in a way that you just
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: don't understand until you do it.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: Let's takeul before I had my children, it was like
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: being with my girl took a blind fold off and
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: things that she couldn't make me, you know, visibly see.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: Or optical too.
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: God, like I said, had a funny way of showing me.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: It's like, how the hell did I end up in
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: this situation? This is ironic, this is something And that's
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: why my temperament about it was always so like relaxed,
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: because I knew, you know what I'm saying. It's just like,
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: all right, this the circus, y'all gonna let this play out,
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: all right, I'll sit back done yet, you know what
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Like, it's just that's what it was for me.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: I looked at it like as soon as you get
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: with a girl, she'll tell you like, that's not your friend,
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: that's that's your friend.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: But that one they can see it more clearly from
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: a different name. And to be clear, you didn't just
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: get with any girl.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I got with a very special woman.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean, and I'm thankful that, you know,
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: she was putting my life at that time, because I
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: think anytime prior to that, you know, I don't think
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: I was.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: Ready for something like that.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't think she.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Was either more s now other new music I know,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: NBA Young Boy also dropped new music as well, Slime Crowded.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Y'all know, baby, the kids don't play about NBA Young Boy.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: But I also saw a few days ago that NBA
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Young Boy has a new production deal with a production
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: company that he started, which will be showcasing like a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: docuseriies of his full tour, which I love to see
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: artists do as well too, because again, that's diversifying that portfolio,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: that is, you know, making other streams of income off
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: of one set talent. But I also just love storytelling, Like,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: if I'm being honest, I just love storytelling and I
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: love to watch people's journeys. But it's also going to
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: talk a lot about his influence on youth culture, culture
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and music in general. And I think a lot of
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: people because NBA Young Boy has had some like you know,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: issues with the law, and you know, I feel like
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the conversation around him is always about the beefs he's
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: in and the court cases and the charge and the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: things that he's going through.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: But this year or.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Last year, actually in twenty twenty five, because he was
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, because he was on this tour
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: which sold out crazy, like sold out insane, I think
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of people really got to experience the NBA
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Young Boy effect. Now it's a lot of them shines
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: things and you know, all the things, but at the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: core essence of it, it's influence. It's being able to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: get people up out of their homes and into seats
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and fully dedicated to your music, singing word for word,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: having energy, making me arena feel like it's shaken because
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: of the energy in the room, a lot of artists
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: aren't doing.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: At whatsoever at all.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: NBA Young Boy has such a hand on a youth culture,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people talk about the fact that he's,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you know, numbers wise, he's always been streaming crazy, like
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: his numbers go crazy. And a lot of it happens
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: without radio play because a lot of his songs are
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: just not the songs that you're going to hear replayed
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: all the time on the radio.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward to that as well too.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: But I know, speaking of artists dropping new music, Chris
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Brown just hopped on Gunner's w WGFT as well. So
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of new things lately to listen to.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: So let's get the latest on this word. There's a
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: word in colectic. Okay, that is not really a word, y'all,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: but Kim Newton on the Funky Friday podcast told us

  Speaker 1: that it was so. Kim Newton was seated with Lady London,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: fire lyricists female rapper Lady London.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: She is not the one to play word.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Games with at all, okay, because Lady London's specialty is wordplay.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: She started, you know, early on after graduating from Howard
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: University writing poetry was turned into music.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: And they were sitting.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Down in conversation, and his conversations are always very wide arranging,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and they get to the when we're we're talking about
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: his personal style, and she asked him to describe his
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: personal style.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: And here's what he had to say.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: But how would you describe your style in one word
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that's an adjective?
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: Can I use the word that I've already used, inclectic?
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Say it again?
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: In colectic?

  Speaker 6: Well, the heavy on the end because there's no internet. No, no, no, no,

  Speaker 6: N C L E C t A okay, in colectic,
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: in collectic? Do you want to know what the end
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: stand for?
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Niggatree am I right?
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's excellent.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: You see where I was going?
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Now this made me start thinking because everywhere
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I was looking, people were joking using the word inclectic,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: because this is another moment where you know, Cam Newton,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: just for a moment, doesn't look fully in control of
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: his conversation. And you know, the gist of a lot
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: of Cam Newton's conversations is that he is fully in control.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Whenever it is your interview, you are supposed to be
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: fully in control. So I think, you know, people, people
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: are so crazy. People enjoy seeing the tables flipped where
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a person doesn't appear as smart as they think they are,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: or doesn't appear as in control as they think they are,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, people want to lean into. But
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: this was a very funny moment.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I saw the word.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Being used everywhere jokingly, and I'm like, I wonder what
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: this moment and what those numbers are doing on Google
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: because it's been used so much.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: So according to So, I looked it up.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: So Google has a Google trend like area where you
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: can look up trending everything, topics, words, phrases, searches, all
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: of the above. Now I normally use this when I'm
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: looking up stories to see what the world is talking about,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: how much you're talking about it, to be able to
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: prioritize stories for Breakfast Club and for the podcast here
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the Latest with Waur on the Rosa. But I do
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: know that you can use it for words as well.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: But I just didn't know how to read the data
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: because the grass are not like laid out in like
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a way where you can just like quote a percentage
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: of increase or anything like that easily unless you know
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: what you're looking at. So I reached out to the
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Google Trends team after looking at the public trends site
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: because I saw a spike not only in the words,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I saw a spike in the word eclectic, which is
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the real word that cam Newton meant. And let's look
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: up eclectic's definition. Now I'm add into the Google searches,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: so eclectic the real definition of the real word eclectic
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: is deriving idea style, or taste from a broad and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: diverse range of sources. So I'm looking at these charts,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at these grass and I'm like, I'm seeing
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: a spike, but I don't understand, like numerically, like I
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: don't I'm if I'm going to quantify this.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm looking at.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: So I talked to the team over at Google Trends
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: and they tell me so search interest in the word
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: eclectic over the past week for Kim New in eclectic
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: and enclectic or breakout searches. So breakout searches across Google
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Trends are basically searches that like, aren't commonly searched, that
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: just break out and stand out and search trends because
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: of something that happened. So the interview happened. Now people
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: are searching Kim New in eclectic and enclectic. I'm told
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: by the Google Public Trends site and confirmed by their
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: team with whom I spoke with, that there was over
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: a five hundred thousand percent increase in searches for cam
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: New in eclectic and enclectic. Insane, I'll y'all out out here,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: trying to use this word. It is not a word, y'all.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Like one thing we're gonna do is kacko kikey, and
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: we gonna let something go, but it is not a
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: real word. Leave it alone, and please don't play with
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Lady London in her words. Now in wrapping up, I
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: don't know how many of our low riders have Verizon Wireless,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: but boy, were y'all going through it this week. So
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Verizon Wireless, the phone carrier, had a blackout of service
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: across like the United States.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Like it was insane.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: You could not if you were trying to call someone
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: with Verizon, you literally could not call through to their phone.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: They couldn't call out to you. It was, and it
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: was for some time. It was probably for about a
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: good like almost up to an hour. I would say,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I know my brother has Verizon and I was trying
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: to get in contact with him about you know, my
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: grandmother and.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Just couldn't, like literally, you just they just couldn't call out.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: And so Verizon's you know, they apologize. They were keeping
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: us updated via Twitter, telling us that they were going
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: to be fixing the issues and that there will be
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: a credit to affected customers. To you know to apply
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: to their accounts. So people have an issue now because
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Verizon is only twenty dollars. Cell phone bills are about
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a good one fift seventy five a month. Okay, twenty dollars.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Look in this economy, I'll take it. But still it's
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: almost it's a joke. So Verizon posted late last night
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: to their Verizon News account yesterday we did not meet
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the standard of excellence you expect and that we expect
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: of ourselves. To help provide some relief to those effected,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: we will give you a twenty dollars account credit that
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you can easily redeem by logging into my Verizon app.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: You will receive a text message when the credit is
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: available on averages covers multiple days of service. Business customers
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: will be contacted directly about their credits. This credit isn't
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: meant to make up for what happened. No credit really can,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: but it's a way of acknowledging your time and showing
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: you that this matters to us. Now, I appreciate a
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: company acknowledging your time, acknowledging the time they took from you,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the time they wasted your money, all of that, But
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I do think that they could do a little bit more.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I also think that it's kind of unfair that you
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: have to log into the app apply it. I think
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: on average, like you know, people are busy, so taking
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the time to do that, I think a lot of
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: people are going to miss out on the credit.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Also, I'm thinking about.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Like older people who have Verizon who are not going
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: to know how to do all of that. Also, I
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: just think that there's going to be a fall off in,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: you know, once this marketing maneuver pushes out to their audience,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: the amount of people that are actually able to get
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: across the finish line. I think it should have been
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: something that was applied instantly to the account in my opinion,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: But hey, we are not Verizon over here, even though
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: it's a Verizon. I do have Horizons Wi Fi though,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: but yeah, not Verison over here. So personally I have
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: nothing to complain about. But just looking at it from
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: of yours perspective, I think they should have made that
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: a bit easier for their customers one hundred percent because
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: of the inconvenience that it costs so many people. And
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: you don't realize how much you rely on your cell
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: phone with no landline until you can't rely on your
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: cell phone. I was trying to get in contact with
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: some of my aunts because my you know, some things
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: that were happening in emergency with my grandmother this week
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: during the time it was outed, and couldn't call my aunt.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: She had to call me from her house phone.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, it made me think, like, Wow, should
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: we keep housephones in the crib just for back up?
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Something to think about here y'all.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Now, at the end of the day, you guys could
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: be anywhere with anybody talking about all of the things,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: all of these things my lowriders, But you guys choose
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: to be right here with me, and for that I
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: appreciate you guys.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I'll catch you all in the next episode.
