Going on y'all Peace and blessings. Happy Days everybody
00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:18.629
where I'm over here drinking my coffee from Starbucks espresso especially like that.
00:00:19.138 --> 00:00:21.658
They're not a sponsor.
00:00:19.138 --> 00:00:25.798
They are not a sponsor. They are not but we would love it and we would love it, but they're not a sponsor.
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:38.848
And I never even used to drink coffee but I just recently started drinking the show cuz I was just been so tired I can't even stay up. My wife drinks coffee every day so I'll just make me one she made me want And ever since I just felt like the last two weeks I've been drinking this should just to stay awake.
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:44.609
I'm trying to tell you my welcome to the club man I'm letting you know right now.
00:00:41.670 --> 00:01:34.170
Honestly like I think people go a little bit too far with coffee like like it's like for some people like an addiction but man we didn't have a nice we did a nice cup of give it a right hit is perfect like I said my man told me this he's like he's a he's a power lifter and he's like you know how people go to gym and they take like a was that a pre workout and all the other stuff right? He's like leave that shit alone I really don't know what's in it you have your heart rate and so on so forth he said do this before you go work out go get you like a medium coffee black nothing in it just like free caffeine. He said it works magic as gross you need some sugar or something? No because that's the whole thing because you looking for the job you're not looking for anything else like it is gonna suck with the taste but he said it's only five calories and he never caffeine you say printed down water you have oh no Genie.
00:01:34.650 --> 00:02:04.590
Because somebody somebody is pre workouts are full of caffeine. Like hundreds of milligrams of caffeine. I went to the gym Yeah, I went to the gym and I was like damn, I was like sluggish. So I went to the fridge and I'm like how much is this it was sorry and remember the name it was like some pre workout because like $2 a day was like yo just to let you know it has a lot of caffeine so you still want it out loud try it and I probably won't get it again cuz like I said I don't really drink caffeine like that but they had like 200 grams of caffeine and some have me why I was doing like 1000 push ups
00:02:05.099 --> 00:02:37.409
and that'd be the whole thing like the good thing he told me about a cup of coffee is like because you want to have it like that's all you need because Are you looking forward to caffeine you know natural and nothing else. And I remember going to Gemma muscle due to a pre workout and meet him in at the same time he was at the counter like but leave he like slumped over the counter and started shaking and shit like because as you get your heart racing like it's it's some shit you got to be careful with but coffees it. I'm not a Starbucks person. They do make a good cup of coffee. I do prefer dunkin donuts. Probably more. I guess.
00:02:34.349 --> 00:02:44.610
Maybe because I'm basic. I don't care but shout out to Uncle Mike. He works at Starbucks. I ain't gone. I got shit on him.
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:53.490
That's easy. He's a man might want to talk to Philly. Yeah, I put them onto the pod. So he's one of the managers in store in Philadelphia. So I'm gonna be like, you know, enjoy that man.
00:02:51.270 --> 00:02:53.490
He's
00:02:53.490 --> 00:02:55.530
a regular listener. He gets regular shots.
00:02:55.979 --> 00:03:03.659
Mm hmm. Uncle Mike. But yeah, let's start the show man. First off, yes. Rest in peace to get the Gabs if the guy's
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:10.830
we know what he died of. Nah, he just recently passed away so they didn't announced the reason for death. Yes
00:03:10.830 --> 00:03:18.870
So what are these rappers dying be and then we don't even know why what you know why they died of you know I'm saying we don't know if it's drugs if it's COVID if is what
00:03:19.139 --> 00:03:44.340
I don't give a it's not an eye and I'm not trying to be dismissive in that note these rapids I like he like he was 50 like it was like that's how long he was. Yeah, like they're not long in the tooth they're not getting to like 7080 years old doesn't at all. They go in our early it's like you know we started off talking about the whole gym thing and caffeine and so on so forth. Like take better care of yourself. But like for your body everything
00:03:44.370 --> 00:03:51.120
that makes you wonder like the life that they live they would live in that fast life you know it was it was in the limelight did that take a toll on their bodies you
00:03:51.120 --> 00:04:06.960
know I'm saying and I think what those that kind of entertainment Yeah, I think we're entertainers it just does like cuz you're you're never home you're traveling from place to place state to see I'm driving here flying here like you never there's no days off.
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:07.889
There's not a vacation like you don't eat they're not sleeping.
00:04:09.750 --> 00:04:24.660
And that's why you see a lot of these new guys met the man Action Bronson. A lot of these dues now they get you know they eat and better than working out again into fitness again themselves into great shape. You know what I'm saying? You start Busta Rhymes.
00:04:20.850 --> 00:04:26.939
You know, I mean, like a bunch of these dues now they stay trying to take care of themselves.
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:59.550
Yeah, but but I think outside of math, I think what like what bluster and action? It was more like a health thing. I think like, I think what Buffett I think he said like yeah, like, power to someone is through. And it was making it hard for him to breathe. And like the weight wasn't helping. So he got it off actually did it because I think he had a baby. He was just organic scale. He just got so big. He's like, I gotta do something about this. And I mean, I mean, it's appropriate to shout them out for what they're doing. Because that's not like it's not an easy task.
00:04:56.670 --> 00:05:19.860
Like you go to gym you're like fuck To be hard, but you got to keep grinding at it but I think with anything else, it's just consistency keeping your time with it and results going calm ever. I think that shit happens overnight like you didn't eat yourself to this degree overnight, not gonna get right overnight. Just keep doing the right thing drink water, take a walk, be healthy. Shout out to those who is out there trying to do the best they can with that.
00:05:20.370 --> 00:05:23.610
We're moving on.
00:05:20.370 --> 00:05:29.850
There was a lot of Batman slander last week, right, actually, like in the last two episodes, because, you know, he's just, it's just been hilarious to pick on him put
00:05:29.850 --> 00:05:30.990
on characters. You know,
00:05:32.069 --> 00:05:44.069
a lot of you know, a lot of people have found this ship funny. Um, but there was a couple things I've read because we, you know, we was talking about the ship with people was talking online about Batman, we didn't even go over all of it.
00:05:45.060 --> 00:06:09.209
Now, we still feel like when I'm in Atlanta, plenty of Batman slanted II The wackest one out of all the Justice League. I just wanted to bring up because we're not even talking about cultural appropriation. Like, we're gonna discuss the fact that he's technically using blackface is he typically but the whole thing that big white ass chin sticks out so you know, as a white man?
00:06:06.029 --> 00:06:14.220
Like it's as if you're fully covered like a full covered mask like this might be going a bit too far. But you see that big ass white
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.620
boys and shit like was that about?
00:06:17.129 --> 00:06:43.920
A man he had from the up? Like, here's the funny thing. I've always wondered what Bruce Wayne sounds like. I know I hear me out. Like cuz you always think of Batman you hear the voice of Batman you never really think about what a Bruce Wayne sound like. So I don't know if he's using like an auto tune thing. That's another thing I got to bring up later. Don't let me forget auto tune whatever you do. Don't forget that. Like he like he does like the voice modulation so on and so forth.
00:06:43.920 --> 00:07:09.180
Because if you talk and you selling Bruce Wayne, but you're a public figure, so he's gonna hear your voice like ain't dead to do that beat mass in the alley a couple weeks ago. You sound real familiar. So guess he has to because you can't really sound like yourself. You. I think you're going to hide the face. You got to hide your voice. It's the only logical thing. Like it's like we see them people like be on TV snitching they blurred a face out and do the robot voice right because like, I'm here to sound like I know a block you live on.
00:07:10.350 --> 00:07:19.920
Yeah, but then you have somebody like spider man who covers his face but doesn't disguise his voice. And then you got somebody like Superman who doesn't cover his face at all and doesn't disguise his voice and people still don't know
00:07:21.540 --> 00:07:28.379
that you know I'm sorry man. That's a stupid shit. I've always hated my Superman glasses. Oh and Clark glasses on. Superman.
00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:34.139
You the same dude he don't even wear glasses no more than the new ones bro. Back in the day. These were Sue and some glasses
00:07:34.139 --> 00:07:36.959
now he's just a regular right? Come on,
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:38.879
man. Give me sigma Look.
00:07:39.149 --> 00:07:44.100
Look around for the big stocky dude with the curl hanging up in front of his head that's Superman trust me
00:07:44.310 --> 00:07:51.569
it cuz he would wear the glasses and an X stupid. So people like right that's definitely not him. He's too clumsy to be Superman. Yeah,
00:07:51.569 --> 00:07:55.920
it's not acting goofy and I was like, yo, you Superman stop you suits. I get it you Superman.
00:07:56.250 --> 00:08:06.089
But somebody said online Yo, Batman letter dude and a question mark Sue defeat him with brain teasers. like, yo,
00:08:06.420 --> 00:08:12.629
yo, yo, shoot him in the face son. He's a he walks around the green shoe question marks and has a cane.
00:08:12.658 --> 00:08:19.829
Like how long all this equipment how long you think it'll take Batman to escape an escape room to figure out the escape route?
00:08:20.189 --> 00:08:23.009
Because you only get an hour? less than five minutes?
00:08:23.218 --> 00:08:24.658
You think so Batman all figured out?
00:08:25.288 --> 00:08:32.068
He suppose that's Batman his claim to fame his underlying but underneath Batman is the world's greatest detective. He's able to figure that out.
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:43.889
Somebody said Batman, Batman. Batman killed the lights and Bane said Ah, you think darkness is your ally then hit that then hit that do so hard? The lights came back on.
00:08:44.818 --> 00:08:59.609
He did in the movie. He like like someone's like, come on, man. Come on. Come on you Batman you let Bainbridge get out and hold in the movie version is not like the the cart. The common version where he's like, has the venom poison.
00:08:59.609 --> 00:09:06.629
He just gets massive like the vein he was fighting in the movie like maybe like 20 pounds heavier to him, but he's like five minutes shorter like you're smoking.
00:09:07.289 --> 00:09:13.950
Yo and this question. Is Batman The only dude that has a cape but doesn't fly? Is he the only superhero?
00:09:14.220 --> 00:09:19.500
There's a lot of heroes that don't have capes and flies. But I think he's the only one that actually has a cape and cannot fly.
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:33.330
No That's right. I'm think I'm thinking too quickly but I bleed us right? That's the whole thing like you wear the cape to be like aerodynamic correct? He doesn't fly he like drifts with his little his back good
00:09:33.330 --> 00:09:43.080
if you've seen if you've seen The Incredibles you know, Edna tells you why it's a bad idea to even have a cape because it causes so many things that can go wrong and I'm gonna get caught and shit.
00:09:44.460 --> 00:09:48.450
Now gearing got to see that The Incredibles is my hero Pixar movie of all time.
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:49.679
It's up there.
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:49.679
It's up there.
00:09:49.830 --> 00:09:52.080
No, it's my favorite. I know yours. What WreckIt Ralph?
00:09:52.710 --> 00:09:53.970
I like WreckIt Ralph part two.
00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:17.070
Right But right but is that a Pixar movie or Disney movie? Oh, no, actually, I don't think I know No I know The Incredibles definitely picks up and definitely that I know other people got like Finding Nemo up there. Up, up I always like up but that's the hardest seven minutes for a child to experience ever. I don't know remember check it we usually end up right
00:10:17.100 --> 00:10:19.110
yeah of course.
00:10:17.100 --> 00:10:19.110
Right But the little old man
00:10:19.529 --> 00:10:23.789
right but like it's like say thank you take your kid to go see it the first seven minutes are pretty fucked up.
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:27.809
But that's every Disney movie.
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.169
No, but the whole thing they show you the
00:10:29.370 --> 00:10:32.879
whole Disney episode we talked about how I know Karis is an orphan
00:10:32.909 --> 00:10:40.889
Bowers, like the whole the whole thing like you see his wife Donna. Yo, this is dark like, Kings wasn't learning lessons yet. But yeah, go ahead.
00:10:39.149 --> 00:10:40.889
Good thinking man.
00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:56.909
But the mom or the dad always dies at the beginning of a Disney movie, bro. It just happens in every movie. You usually usually the mother and certain ones like Lion King is the Father. Right?
00:10:53.009 --> 00:11:01.230
But I let us get off the Disney show one last Batman thing.
00:10:56.909 --> 00:11:04.620
Okay, somebody said Batman clapping Zoe Kravitz cheeks.
00:11:01.230 --> 00:11:04.620
bout to raise the crime rate up.
00:11:04.769 --> 00:11:07.889
Just the worst thing that happened in Gotham since Heinz war scored that touchdown.
00:11:09.269 --> 00:11:30.240
Is that when the whole field blew up? Yeah, okay. All right. All right. All right, Tom. I art so alright, so that's a stupid thing about the Dark Knight Rises, like so highs Ward is like running across the field like, like, okay, for one Heinz word is a punt returner. He catches the ball running across the entire field while the fields collapsing behind them and doesn't hear anything. Nope.
00:11:27.750 --> 00:11:30.240
He is always
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.309
right, that touchdown that he was gonna score
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:54.539
right now, but I'm saying it's Hines ward. It's not like you know, Tyree killed like somebody fast. Hines Ward slow, he should have died. Like I could see like, Julio, like Julio is booking like, I could outrun this, like Hines Ward is slow, like at the 30. Once that ground collapses, he's dead. But they just let this cook because he's Hines Ward, which I respect. But come on now. All right, what
00:11:54.539 --> 00:12:05.129
else has happened? Oh, definitely got to discuss the fact that Derek Shopian gets 22 and a half years in prison? Yes. And we all know he'll do less than that.
00:12:05.700 --> 00:12:06.750
Don't matter. But
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:32.940
I mean, was that satisfactory? How did you feel about that verdict? Like, I will find that enough time? Or was that too much? Because there's, there's people from back into the crime bill that was getting like 15 years for drug possession. This guy murdered somebody. Right. On TV on camera. We've seen a murder somebody and get 22 years, which is Yeah, it's a lot of time. You know, I mean, the guy's what he's late 50s, early 60s or something like that.
00:12:33.208 --> 00:12:35.938
I think things like probably early 50s, I believe.
00:12:36.480 --> 00:13:12.000
So he'll, you know, he'll probably get out when he's, you know, late 60s 70s. From what I understand, he's still eligible for his pension. Yes, even though he got convicted of a crime and is going to jail. He's still getting his pension from the police department for serving his time as a cop. So when he gets out if he's still alive, he's gonna still get money. But like I said, some people think that 22 years ain't enough, man, you got people doing 15 years for drugs from the crime bill that Clinton and gnome and Biden passed years ago, and this guy murdered somebody in just 22 years. So basically, you're saying the difference between drugs and a murder is seven years?
00:13:13.590 --> 00:13:28.860
I think it kind of goes deeper than that. I think that the issue would be an always is going to be that you can never quite fully put the price on a life, especially the life you took. I don't think any answer would have been satisfactory outside of like life in prison.
00:13:25.710 --> 00:14:14.519
And that wasn't on the board because it wasn't first degree murder. I think that for what it was, to me. I don't even really care about the time it's more it's the idea that it's it's progress forward. Because it's what the protests last year about social uprising, the Black Lives Matter movement. The thing that they're trying to get across is that it's not that you believe that police are devious and bad human beings. No. We're saying that, you know, when they do certain things like this with George flow with Lando Castillo with Mike Brown, these situations, we just need to police to be held accountable.
00:14:11.970 --> 00:15:50.580
If you do this, and you take a look, there's a price you should pay with it. And I never wrote never. I mean, sorry. It rarely happens. If ever, like I said, we go further further in the past, you can go back to the Rodney King incident. Like I said, there are men sitting right here with nine six beating the living hell out of him. And they were trying to say that he was resisting arrest. No, he's putting his arms ahead to defend his life and like, you got to so we're gonna wait and they let all of them go. So the issue will always isn't always will be accountability. If you do this, this happens. And the whole thing is that if someone didn't have the courage to record the entire thing, he probably would have walked. And like I said, when it comes to the idea of accountability, that's why those other officers are probably going to have to do some time even though they weren't involved because quite simply, it becomes a moral issue. It's if you're watching this happen And you walk into mad scream and suffer for his life, and he's detained his hands behind his back, there's nothing that he can do. The only thing you can do and possibly have to do simply, is charge them to, like, if, if all of us are in a car, and I got weed, and all the other 234 passengers in it, and we get pulled over, it's not my job this everybody joined cuz y'all didn't hold me accountable at that time. So everybody's getting charged. Everybody's going, Joe, everybody's going to embrace what's on. Because we didn't do the thing. We didn't tell them put it out, we drove into and so forth. Same thing with them. They had the moral obligation I don't care for because initially within the police department or with the other officers on the fourth, you're seeing someone basically fight like die for the life or just tell them gives the office that put them in the car, you deal with it for another day.
00:15:47.399 --> 00:16:24.240
They didn't do so. So it's 22 and a half years enough time, I can see why someone said that is not enough. My whole thing is that I believe that any time behind jail is better than having that man in the street where other incidences might happen. As long as we get to the point where starting to hold police accountable is to success. It's sad, it took another life, another black life to get to that point. But it's a step forward. As long as we get to that I'm alright with it. I'm not gonna complain about the top, I'm just happy that we're at we're maybe maybe getting to a point where if this happens again, you know that there's a price you're gonna pay for it.
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:27.330
And that, you know, this is a stepping stone forward. So me.
00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:27.330
I'm good with it.
00:16:27.690 --> 00:16:37.679
So what we'll see how much time he actually does, um, you know, you're not going to put them with regular folk on their regular, you know, I mean, inmates have to get eaten alive, so they're gonna have to put his ass on some special shit.
00:16:38.250 --> 00:16:41.580
Yeah, probably probably probably predict a PC protective custody.
00:16:41.818 --> 00:16:45.028
You imagine you throw him in there with other inmates that he put in
00:16:46.139 --> 00:16:53.940
my office offices shelving. Oh, you now. Have a seat, brother.
00:16:55.590 --> 00:17:02.039

00:17:03.090 --> 00:17:12.150
the Christians? He's going he's going through the Bible thumping Christians. I guarantee you if that happens, he gonna be able to church squad guaranteed,
00:17:12.180 --> 00:17:19.619
you know, tear his ass up in a moment again with Bibles. It won't be smiling with Bible papers.
00:17:20.190 --> 00:17:23.910

I'm sorry, I'm gonna get a speech impediment.
00:19:18.539 --> 00:19:20.400

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:29.250

00:19:58.619 --> 00:20:01.559

00:20:17.130 --> 00:20:28.410
Oh, off topic real quick, but I pick up my phone and this kid named James Bo night from UConn that is showing him like like shooting the shit out of the balls do not might be drafted by the Knicks he's jumping wet.
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:29.519
What Yeah, but
00:20:29.549 --> 00:20:51.299
what what number do we got the 18th visit or what we got, we got like two we got late 20s like eight like like 18 to 2018 either 18 to 21st to the 19th and the 21st. I felt like they should just package those and either move up or try to get a player you know, I mean, I think I think that's probably the plan like I think because even tips that he's looking for shooting and he's looking for wings.
00:20:51.479 --> 00:20:56.489
They're interested in AJ Reddick which I'm doubtful what they will get him in a reasonable price. Yeah, you know, I
00:20:56.490 --> 00:21:02.730
mean, like, I just I don't I don't think you need to be like, like spending money like you're a coke dealer. I think he's got to spend it responsibly.
00:21:02.849 --> 00:21:04.589
I feel like we should do like the Hawks did.
00:21:04.650 --> 00:21:06.480
They did it very well drafted, well
00:21:06.509 --> 00:21:35.789
spent their money wisely got themselves a nice deep team. Yeah, I'm not talking about we're trying to, like two years ago and shouldn't appear like the next draft. And Atlanta drafts. I prefer Atlanta to like, fuck out here. You know, the next one. I said, I see what they're doing there. They got training or build everything that complement straight big wings. And someone that could defend the whole team, but like that, that's why they got cam, right. It's just what I heard her. That's why they find Bogdanovich. That's how they ended up with Capella. He's like, I get it, I get it.
00:21:36.089 --> 00:22:15.059
So then, the next guy has similar visions, because he would again build around and what pieces compliment was I say definitely shooting, there was a trade rumor going around. Let me know if you if you'd like this, because I would do it. The proposal is supposed to be Obi toppin, who I really like, power forward. Kevin Knox, who I don't really care about, okay, Mitchell Robinson, okay. And three draft picks the two that we have this year and like, I think either a second rounder for next year, something like that. For Karl Anthony towns from the Timberwolves. Often I would sign off and I would do that it's a center who stretches the floor he's going to give us 20 to 25 points a game 10 plus rebounds a game he can shoot from outside.
00:22:15.450 --> 00:22:20.039
What does it mean? You don't have a discussion before about not biting my popsicle.
00:22:17.730 --> 00:22:25.529
He's talking about like centers in the NBA. And like there's not that many great ones. Like the first one that came to mind was like mbeadh and joke itch.
00:22:25.710 --> 00:22:39.059
Right? I said go bear. But defensively I like I forgot about cat like he can. He's up there. He can do it. And I think if if everything's all good between him and tips, it'll work out. Well. Local kiddies from Jersey. You know? I hate people say that though.
00:22:39.420 --> 00:22:52.380
Well, yeah, because it's different. feels different. When the guy is local, homegrown. He grew up, you know, watching the Knicks, you know, I mean, so now it's like an extra incentive. When you're when you're playing on the team you grew up watching.
00:22:50.099 --> 00:22:52.380
Yeah, but
00:22:52.380 --> 00:22:57.569
it was like No, they they treat and Kim but you know, he went he's from New York.
00:22:54.420 --> 00:22:58.349
Like, in the back in the wild man. He good.
00:22:58.650 --> 00:23:06.839
The guy I want the next draft to is that I was that guy named who's from Brooklyn. God. Mike bouknight.
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:08.490
What was the name? You know, I'm talking about James.
00:23:08.970 --> 00:23:13.710
Tell You About Jay.
00:23:08.970 --> 00:23:13.710
Jay, like James bouknight.
00:23:13.769 --> 00:23:15.569
Yes, him? Yes.
00:23:13.769 --> 00:23:15.569
him. I like him.
00:23:15.900 --> 00:23:17.940
That that's I was just looking at the video. He had a
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.509
three point shot but I think he's still good enough.
00:23:21.539 --> 00:23:37.650
Yeah, hell yeah. So I saw that. You can't he was cooking. Yeah, I was watching one of the games he dropped 40 huh. No, James James. If a good piece but it'd be interesting offseason. Alright, so I'm sorry. Yeah, we had to interject sports in it. Yeah. You know, just deal with it as part of the podcast.
00:23:37.890 --> 00:23:39.480
You wanted me to remind you about auto tunes.
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:40.710
What did you have to say about auto tunes?
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:53.819
Yes. Okay. So it's a show on Netflix called This is pop, where they have these different things going on with it where they have like an artist and then they kind of speak about like the history of a particular style or whatever.
00:23:53.849 --> 00:24:03.029
So they have one on there for t pain to talk about the history or auto tune. So t pains on a flight with Usher. No, he No, he's in a first class flight and Archer is on the same flight.
00:24:03.329 --> 00:24:09.119
And the stewardess says, you know, coming back, actually want to talk to you. He's like, Alright, cool. I talked to him.
00:24:09.900 --> 00:25:10.920
So t pain gets up and talk to share it and so on so forth and chopping it up. And then Asscher will basically like you, you fucked up like singing or something else like that. As a matter of fact, I've tried to see if I can pull a clip up is actually pretty interesting to me. We get a chance to probably watch it when you can. I'm sorry ladies and gentlemen for not being prepared. It was a little thing. So it was on Twitter a few days ago. And it was like a different little break they had put on the thing that they said that you know, once Usher had told him that like t pain actually got like depressed like I like it. He was depressed for four years after that, because of what he told me like it just it fucked him up, which I guess he's better than me because I'd have to suck my dick because like This is making me rich as hell and people are enjoying it and I got a great thing about it and I'm very happy but he said it just it really really it.
00:25:07.829 --> 00:25:17.579
He's like depressed for four years over it that should kind of blew my mind. That's kind of crazy because I fucked with T pain like that, but still can't find it.
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:19.410
Alright, well if you find it, you send me the link.
00:25:19.410 --> 00:25:21.240
We'll put that on the show notes. Everybody can watch it.
00:25:22.230 --> 00:25:22.980
Got it. The
00:25:22.980 --> 00:25:27.089
show was called This is pop. Start last Netflix today.
00:25:27.089 --> 00:25:31.589
So if you get a chance, get a look. Alright, but yeah, before we go to break,
00:25:31.679 --> 00:25:42.298
um, to tell me a little bit about the the IKEA situation, that Juneteenth racism because we talked about it. When we're talking about Juneteenth. You said somebody is gonna fuck this up.
00:25:42.329 --> 00:26:47.940
I told you, I told you why people are gonna fuck it up because white people can't help but the white people. Okay, so let me try to make this. I'm going to there's an Ikea in Atlanta, that decided to celebrate Juneteenth likes it kind of brought to the nation, so on so forth. So the manager makes a decision. Like, you know, we're going to change the menu for today for employees to celebrate Juneteenth. So the menu that day, estimated bereans decided that the main was going to be fried chicken, watermelon, collard greens and macaroni and cheese. Now, this gets into a little special thing that I like to call is this racist? Because I can see how you can see a multitude of things. Is it racist? Probably. Because black people aren't a monolith. Not all black people like fried chicken. Not all black people like collard greens now black people like watermelon. Jeff, quick question. Yeah. Um, rice and beans is, maturity is properly. So our national people have the right, it's a staple of your culture.
00:26:48.150 --> 00:26:56.819
Right? They actually called the rice, beans, and meat of any kind, they call that the Dominican flag. That's what we call it. Cool. Like our typical dish.
00:26:56.910 --> 00:27:03.930
If your job one day just decided, like, we want to celebrate the Jamaican culture, and they offered that to y'all, would you feel offended?
00:27:05.970 --> 00:27:07.619
It's tough, because that's what we eat.
00:27:09.059 --> 00:27:20.069
Where we got some rice and beans. All right. It's like when you have a potluck at work. And you know, you have a potluck, everybody brings some from your country. And here's why. You know, Hispanics are bringing empanadas, rice and beans.
00:27:20.250 --> 00:27:23.099
Right? You'd have seen brown rice or something different types of rice.
00:27:23.339 --> 00:27:36.750
And that's the flaw in this man's logic. It's not the fact that he did it. He didn't consult with the people they're like, like, if you have black employees, as a matter of fact, isn't necessarily a black thing.
00:27:32.250 --> 00:28:04.680
Because in a work area, you're gonna have people of different cultures, backgrounds, so on and so forth. Because you might have people that are vegan, they don't eat anything there. Or they might eat organic, or they might not eat something because of their religion or something else to that degree. The fact that you make a unilateral decision about black people, that's the part of fine racist like you didn't even discuss it with them. Because like if they would have said so and so yeah, fried chickens. All right, then it doesn't seem racist, because I went over with the people who work here, and this is what they chose. They chose it for them.
00:28:04.769 --> 00:28:56.309
But this isn't like something that's out of place for white people. Like I said, like said, Mexican Independence Day is not single tomorrow, but white people will drink margaritas and get loaded the tacos. I know a lot of Irish people, but they will get fucked up and loaded on St. Patrick's Day, they got this amazing ability to co op some shit. And then when they point out like that somebody is wrong about it. They're like, Well, I didn't mean it that way. Well, you didn't discuss it with the people that it actually means something to to actually get the proper input. You just did the shit cuz you want to do the shit. That's part of the problem. That's the problem, the IKEA thing. I'll give you a quick historical lesson. Chicken is a main staple of black people's culture is because right after slavery, like said Oh, you will basically feel hands picking cotton, so on and so forth. They knew certain things agriculture, like chickens, chickens are cheap, they're easy to keep up with.
00:28:53.250 --> 00:28:56.309
You can make money sell them.
00:28:56.430 --> 00:28:58.589
Same thing with watermelon.
00:28:56.430 --> 00:29:38.339
Watermelon is actually a symbol of freedom. Because once slaves were freed, using the agricultural skills, they were able to reward them because they're cheap to make. They were cheap to grow, they're easy to sell, so on and so forth. So it's actually a symbol of freedom, why people call up that racist shit. And that's how we end up with a situation that we end up with today. But want to anything with that situation, you have to come to the realization that you gotta respect the coaches of other people, you have to be more inclusive and invite them to a conversation a dialogue about what this might be, and how it might affect people. I know we had discussion A while ago about um, it was a little kid in the gap commercial to had like the shirt with the apron like king of the jungle, right? But the whole thing is that I'm saying how they might have taken it.
00:29:38.339 --> 00:29:44.009
But do you need like a cultural representative and they're like, you probably shouldn't do that.
00:29:41.099 --> 00:30:17.400
The bunch of outfits and put in this kibble you decide to do that and there's some connotations that kind of go along with it, the manga that he had, maybe delicious, but there's some obvious connotations that come along with doing that, and especially not asking people's opinion about it, you're just gonna do it because you think it's a good idea. No, if it's for these people, just ask these people what they want. And if they're in agreement, then cool. If anything from this thing, it's a learning experience, I'm not even going to get mad at the guy, you made a mistake, the mistake you made is not listen to the people around you or even invite them to that dialogue to get to that point, if they do so in the future, you know, got to deal with you. Because you did you got to get cloud.
00:30:17.609 --> 00:30:28.829
Like I said, when companies are going to do anything that has to do with minorities, they need to have some minorities on the table to consult with first before we put out an ad before they say some dumb shit
00:30:29.160 --> 00:31:01.529
every time and they never do it because they look at me always. No, because because because i think i think they're more comfortable with apologizing than dealing with shame. Like, we're sorry, like, Nah, man, fuck you. Sorry, y'all keep doing this. And I told you I said, once this happens, some shit like this is going to go down. And I'm not trying to say I'm the black person whisperer, but I just I just know how white people give it up. They cannot help themselves. They cannot help make a fool out of themselves. or some shit. They got total control over a did ask one black person is just racist, and they just will not do it.
00:30:58.589 --> 00:31:02.430
But yeah, we'll be back after a word from our sponsors,

They represent a culture that represent like the culture podcast. I went back so and it is the 25th anniversary of Jay Z's debut album Reasonable Doubt correct? Yes, sir. One would argue that's his best album right? Yeah, with with one of the blueprint albums.
00:32:34.710 --> 00:32:38.190
I know I know. Before you said blueprint 2.0 like that's just terrible.
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:58.619
I mean, no it's not because that's that's what he goes at Jay and NAS rather you know I mean, that's the album he goes out now there's only one or two blueprint to the blueprint to that's the name of the song blueprint to whatever the blueprint to baby on the way he goes that nozzle now he got a few nice dishes on there.
00:32:59.220 --> 00:33:02.700
It's not a bad album to album that that blooper to album was fucking
00:33:02.730 --> 00:33:04.890
terrible.
00:33:02.730 --> 00:33:08.369
Alright, but we agree that Reasonable Doubt is his best album. I mean, it probably is.
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:16.470
It's a complete album. I feel like it's a classic. There's not too many albums of you know, Jay Z's that I would say it's a classic. The Black Album, I think is dope.
00:33:17.819 --> 00:33:18.869
It's dope, not a classic.
00:33:19.289 --> 00:33:20.460
blueprint one is dope.
00:33:21.539 --> 00:33:26.400
Blue Book. Okay. Black Album, not a classic blueprint classic.
00:33:28.589 --> 00:33:35.609
I mean, I like I like the stuff he does with Kanye I mean I wouldn't say it's a classic but the the watch the throne
00:33:36.419 --> 00:33:40.919
Alright, so we'll have a quick quick discussion. What do you consider a classic I know we had this before so
00:33:42.390 --> 00:33:50.819
now before I can hardly no skips that's the classic to me. Reasonable Doubt is in there What about in my lifetime a hard knock life no or volume three
00:33:50.849 --> 00:34:01.259
No, not nobody has to get they had the blueprint there's no skips reasonable doubt there might be one that's probably it's gonna be
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:07.289
like the Black Album though. I did with our Kelly was good.
00:34:08.010 --> 00:34:56.550
But best of both worlds different script was on it to Kingdom Connors skippable Yeah, this can just give a date Jay Z has made a lot of good albums, in my opinion to on touchably great albums. Probably about three soso albums. Best of Both Worlds was so so. blueprint Yeah, cuz he tried to pull that slick shit at blueprint 2.1 that was bullshit. The Magna Carta holy grail album, the one that got the main buyers from Samsung's he called it like Platinum off the bat. wasn't that great? 444 is good. They're all good both right. By my window window
00:34:56.550 --> 00:35:04.289
debut albums are reaching 25 year anniversaries and it'll matter It reaches 25 year anniversary years ago right cuz that one came out way before Yeah.
00:35:04.889 --> 00:35:09.840
Yeah but yeah, but if it here's your bias All right, so how many how many how many classic albums is not half?
00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:21.358
I am biased cuz you're gonna hear me NAS is the most complete artists there is I would say I would say five or six I would say five or six classes. I do cool. I
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:23.849
just wanna hear what ridiculous numbers do out there perfect. Everybody
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:39.929
talks about illmatic illmatic is not even my my favorite NAS album I don't even think is my second favorite now. I just I like it was written I am Nostradamus. You know, I mean, to me his first six hours with raw platinum. I think his first six albums are all classic to me.
00:35:40.289 --> 00:35:41.429
All classic right there. Let's
00:35:42.059 --> 00:35:43.800
maybe skip one or two tops.
00:35:44.820 --> 00:35:47.070
I just wanted people to hear that one more time
00:35:47.099 --> 00:35:52.500
now doesn't have a lot of skits and I like that you know even aromatic aromatic was only what like 10 tracks
00:35:53.610 --> 00:35:56.159
if you met nice like would you break down and cry?
00:35:56.190 --> 00:36:04.289
No, no, no, come on. You I'm not like I'm not like a little like a little super fanboy. You're not like that.
00:36:04.980 --> 00:36:08.460
You pray freeze the fuck up and just stop and stuff like oh my god,
00:36:08.489 --> 00:36:10.500

I just come in my pod laylax naked yo just yo yo just asking simple like nice man big fan like you might give me like a little quick shout out for the pod man something like that. You want to be cool like that you probably started sweating not even homes get clammy take a look like you like like a nigga that's in love with nasiha Jones that's you look

like no like his music like oh my god like is in love with the guy get out of here
00:36:43.318 --> 00:36:53.820
like you eat a steak and knives in a table across him but insecurity beat the shit out of you but
00:36:55.889 --> 00:37:01.949
but yes a shout out to Jay for that you didn't go River Valley river Lisa like a remastered Reasonable Doubt
00:37:03.389 --> 00:37:12.900
no not really not now not really because you not really it'll probably go on on title Isn't she like buying CDs like that? No more
00:37:13.170 --> 00:37:19.829
Yeah, but they still did away no matter where they released you know I'm saying and a new casing and all of this like the audition
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:37.019
right but like like let's say to do reasonable doubt in the new cases where the fuck I'm gonna buy the casing that should our Amazon refarming store I think the thing Jay i think but I recently heard that he's he pulled that battery out of Dame back to him calm down.
00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:53.579
And the thing Jay is trying to do like an NF T for reasonable doubt. And somehow that's his plan. So some some kind of one of one of one of one kind of digital art piece. companies they make a killing. Whatever NF T's is a bubble that a Papa vigilant.
00:37:54.690 --> 00:38:01.679
Alright, new music. New Music Tyler the Creator. He got a new album.
00:37:57.630 --> 00:38:06.360
He's not my cup of tea. He is spitting. Listen to it on title.
00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:24.119
He is spitting he has no features, which I guess is kind of impressive. I mean, that could be a good or a bad thing because I feel like he's the type of dude that needs features that he can benefit from some for some good features. And he also which I was I found you know, there was surprising or he actually produced every single one of the songs on the album.
00:38:25.469 --> 00:38:30.659
So Tyler, Tyler, that's admirable, man. It's brilliant.
00:38:30.659 --> 00:38:47.820
Like all of this is mine. I wrote everything I produce everything every single penny is my as long as just him. And when you're by yourself like that, me you got to rap rap. You can't be bullshitting. And people just think like, Kylie, like this weirdo. Slightly
00:38:48.929 --> 00:38:53.909
homosexual, like one of the worst gay rappers you know what I'm saying?
00:38:55.199 --> 00:39:01.469
But like, you look at him like a weirdo but you got to disregard that and I don't give a fuck about anybody sexuality.
00:39:01.469 --> 00:39:11.280
Can you spit? Yes or no? And he did. And he does it on this album. He really does. So am I impressed by it? Yeah, it's probably one of the better I've heard this year.
00:39:12.148 --> 00:39:22.528
I guess I don't know. It's just not my cup of tea. You know, I'm not I want to sound homophobic has nothing to do with that. It's just you know, I don't know. I've never been a really big fan of him.
00:39:18.568 --> 00:39:57.208
Actually, like hops in more than I like Tyler gray. I remember they used to have beef back in the day. But I'll rock Hopson, way more I feel like you know, he makes me think when his round that's the type of ROMs I like things that make you think you know lyrical. But whatever Tyler crater he does spit on this. So what else? We got that that rolling 110 deep the new case lei song I haven't heard of yet because it's a 40 minute song he literally has 110 different verses. He needs to chill man is to start with you because they started off with like 30 people right rolling deep 3040 people.
00:39:58.108 --> 00:40:20.728
It is 880 bars until And the thing is he has a lot of dope people on there Chris rivers he has a lot of local New York rappers he got some Wu Tang members in that rap man you know my song is on there but like I like all the rappers on it but you're not going to get 16 bars from all these guys because what there's a 40 minute song what they're going to get like, you know 20 or 30 seconds each something like that.
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:38.039
Not 110 people eight bars each 888 bars. Like that's amazing man. All these represents on it Ghostface roquan havoc. Melly Mel Kara's one MC Shan the first person you see is Chris rivers.
00:40:38.070 --> 00:41:12.389
That's amazing that I really like I really like Chris rivers. And all the guys he's the one that needs the exposure more all these other guys are established. You know, I'm saying they've had record deals, they've made their money they got hit singles. Because rivers is that dude who's the son of a legend but it still remains underground. You know what I'm saying doesn't really have a deal doesn't really have mainstream success or anything like that. So when these producers put him on songs, I like to see that because the guy can spit. So he's one of the guys that I'll be looking forward to seeing when I when I play the song. I'll probably play it later on. I got to be able to sit there for 40 minutes because I don't want to skip nobody's verses you
00:41:12.389 --> 00:41:40.170
know, I mean, man fuck Chris rivers. Oh, you hate him, bro. I'm not Hey, could you talk about the one in the explosion be put on all these kisses I hear popping right now. They all got sound clouds. They all got links, they grinded it out themselves. If you can do you can do it. I can see that excuse. And as a matter of fact, you got an advantage because you got one built in. I'm pumped son. You could put that shit out anytime anywhere and jump on anything anytime. That's on you.
00:41:40.289 --> 00:41:40.469
If
00:41:41.760 --> 00:41:48.780
he's not like a mumble rapper or one of these guys, you know I'm saying he's like actual spirit. So the chance of his music getting on the radio nowadays is harder.
00:41:48.809 --> 00:41:50.579
And I'm saying because he's not making any little
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:58.530
buddy don't matter if I go on Soundcloud and I split like this and I build my base my base builds bigger and bigger and bigger. It's not like they can they can adore me forever.
00:41:58.860 --> 00:42:14.639
And if it gets big enough to rate if I have to play me eventually because someone's gonna hear me period. He still lean on I'm punting like, I don't give a fuck that you punts on if you could rap rap, rap rap. I want to hear you cooking all the time. And I don't need to hear you and nobody else if you can do this, you do this.
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:23.789
And when you when you hear him, that's the bug that part when you hear him you hear puns voice you do that's the freaky part about him. But he didn't look like him because he had the biggest gap. Yeah. But when he when he raps like,
00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:30.690
Fuck, I hear your father's voice. And maybe they even sleep and they've asked him about that. And he said it's unintentional because he said he never even listened to his dad.
00:42:30.690 --> 00:42:36.690
So he got older. You know, I'm saying right. He never even listened to his dad's music.
00:42:33.420 --> 00:42:40.769
Until he got older people started telling him like Yo, You sound just like it. That's when he went back and started listening to his dad's music.
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:43.980
He's like yeah, I really do sound like this dude. Yeah, no, no, it's
00:42:44.010 --> 00:43:24.570
eerie to say that I've never listened to my father's music. But now when I'm adult I almost on almost exactly like that shit scary like that like the same vocal tone everything the breath control the lack thereof. Everything I'm like, oh my god like you sounds like your father but but even if you're just as good as an MC you can do this if you have that ability to get shit done. So I'm not shooting him no bail. Like I said jump on SoundCloud. release some shit every day. called I don't call him Chris river Fridays. Like Yeah, I'm gonna go for 10 ministry over. That's what he should do. Every week, he should release a track where he just takes one of his father's beats and just does his own thing.
00:43:24.690 --> 00:43:35.130
He has a lot of videos like that on YouTube. He has a lot of joints like that when he takes an old beat. He even has some more here like plate, you know, he'll do a verse and then he'll let his dad you know, he'll play his dad's verse over the beat.
00:43:35.909 --> 00:43:58.019
Yeah, could I was one of the weird things about the all rapids they're like hey, Fred, the godson but Fred died because of COVID so it gets like a versity I put on there in honor of them like a show Oh video for them like fucking Fred like so. So I'm guessing like everybody digit borrows over time. didn't put it together.
00:43:53.730 --> 00:44:00.510
But if I guess if you got 40 minutes if I put like this
00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:08.550
I'll put a link in the notes and after you listen to this episode, you click on the link and if you're driving around you got time to listen to the song bro.
00:44:10.710 --> 00:44:15.389
Yep, and just just just tell us who's who had the best eight bars because it's all you get.
