00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.900
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, thank you for tuning in to another episode of the culture. So boy, Jeff, here with my man ant.

00:00:07.980 --> 00:00:08.759
What's good?

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:11.699
I'm glad you stopped paying that number shit.

00:00:14.490 --> 00:00:16.469
This is episode 124.

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:28.350
All you need to know is that it's an episode. And then when you put the show up, you know what number it is. Until then, fuck off.

00:00:29.309 --> 00:00:46.109
This is Martin Luther King weekend. Celebrating the great Dr. Martin Luther King. And in honor of Dr. King, oh, pull up dinner, just get the shit off.

00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:50.700
Yeah, my job just gave us my job just gave us two black days off this year. They gave us Martin Luther King. And they gave us Juneteenth.

00:00:54.060 --> 00:01:08.489
Yeah, we wasn't getting those two days, y'all was really here working on MLK, but like I said, I can't say the MLK thing for everybody. Because I know a lot of people out there that don't get that shit off. And that's kind of a shame actually, when I think about it.

00:01:09.390 --> 00:01:27.450
Yeah, I mean, like the health care workers obviously don't get that off. But there's a lot of different professions and companies that don't give a fuck about that shit. But in honor of Dr. Kane, we're gonna be talking a lot about racism this week. But before we get into that, I want to thank Mr.

00:01:27.450 --> 00:01:31.560
Cow Gameface Lee for coming on last week. That was a very good interview, I think.

00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:35.519
Yeah, thanks, guys.

00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:36.209
Appreciate that. you dying to get on a show now?

00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:46.709

00:01:47.790 --> 00:02:09.210
Hey, you got demand information. And what did I know you tried to get in touch with all star you know what I just realized that kind of low key pissed me off well not piss me off because I honestly don't care when I think about it. Hold on. Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Superbowl 2023 Rihanna will be performing. What are you doing Super Bowl.

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:11.069

That's great. That's great. Thank you, man. I appreciate that.

00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:23.340
You said Rihanna is host is performer. I think isn't Justin Timberlake performing.

00:02:22.050 --> 00:02:23.340
Also,

00:02:24.090 --> 00:02:30.419
he's banned them off again. Never come back. Is Bo is Rihanna. And Janet

00:02:30.419 --> 00:02:31.409
is banned here.

00:02:32.099 --> 00:02:37.259
I thought it would have been fired before Kanye lost his mind if all him Jay Z and Rihanna would came out there.

00:02:37.259 --> 00:02:41.370
But that's not gonna happen now.

00:02:37.259 --> 00:03:10.050
And congratulations, Kanye and your marriage. Apparently. did he marry somebody that worked with him an easy one to design is apparently apparently I don't know. Apparently that's what's being said or whatever. I don't know if it's like a real marriage or just like a ceremony like symbolic. Look, man, that's all I'm pretty much gonna say about the guy. But okay, so you're going to have a little get together on Super Bowl. You know, kick it and so on and so forth. Right. Right. I'm glad you really do appreciate me.

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:10.830

We had we had 78.9 1000 downloads. Damn. All right. And this is the startling. This is the startling staff of me when I saw this shit. I was like, what?

00:06:21.750 --> 00:06:30.180
We were heard in 80 different countries? I don't know. I don't know how that happened.

00:06:30.598 --> 00:06:34.918
I don't know. I don't.

00:06:30.598 --> 00:06:34.918
All I speak is is English.

00:06:35.129 --> 00:06:37.379
bindings and job interview.

00:06:35.129 --> 00:06:37.379
That's it.

00:06:38.730 --> 00:06:51.629
I barely leave New Jersey, bro. Look. It just I don't remember the last time I left the tri state area. Well, I've gotten to Florida a few times here and there. You know, I'm saying that but we were heard in 80 countries, bro.

00:06:52.889 --> 00:07:03.509
That's a good look. I'm proud of that, man. That's a good look. Like how are y'all hearing this? Like, and the thing is that it's a different country city. I don't know if they have any fucking idea what we're talking about.

00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:10.949
They probably just stumble up the party surfing the web is stumble upon our shit. Click it a couple of times. And I don't know what they saying.

00:07:11.250 --> 00:07:14.069
I don't care as long as they do. That's good, though.

00:07:14.220 --> 00:07:16.680
You know, saying, Hey, man, you need

00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:21.120
because you figure how many countries are English speaking countries?

00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:22.980
Not a lot of them, believe it or not?

00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:32.579
You know, I'm saying like in India, they could probably hear they could hear it and like the UK, Canada. Some Latin American countries.

00:07:33.509 --> 00:07:40.500
I mean, it's really UK, Canada, some of the Caribbean islands and not South America.

00:07:36.209 --> 00:07:40.500
Not China, some Asian countries.

00:07:41.910 --> 00:07:51.029
Right. But but their primary language is English. They like it's it. They speak it but it's primarily not like to them English as a second language and to us,

00:07:51.029 --> 00:08:00.269
right. Right. But there's people that wouldn't that can understand it there that can speak the whole Africa. The whole, you know, I mean, everybody, all the countries in Africa could speak and listen to it depends

00:08:00.269 --> 00:08:13.470
on where Australia is a fair amount. Let's put it that way. It's a fair amount. It's a lot more countries that don't speak English that do but the whole fact is that we're able to reach 80 of them. I'm happy about that.

00:08:14.459 --> 00:08:15.779
Yeah, so that's that's crazy.

00:08:18.149 --> 00:08:21.329
Well all makes me realize you need to get the fuck out of New Jersey more.

00:08:23.490 --> 00:08:28.439
The top five episodes.

00:08:23.490 --> 00:08:37.289
Number one is the one episode that's called the Joe Rogan experience. I wonder why. That was the number one he listened to episode.

00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:58.230
That's gonna be our cheat code. What we're going to do is take our podcasts and just name them after other random podcasts. Like he's gonna call like, that are popular, like the Joe Budden podcast game. We're gonna go down like the, like the top 20 podcasts out there and just name our podcast after that, so that they just gonna go ahead until we get sued. Yeah.

00:08:59.309 --> 00:09:19.679
Until that cease and desist letter like, oh, relax. Take my shirt off of there. I mean, it got I mean, instead of Joe Budden could do like Joe button like be you like the button like bu TT O N like it's not the button podcast but it's the button podcast. Joe readin someone's before

00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:32.850
we can misspell it we can we can misspell it on purpose like you said button button right? Like the Oprah Winfrey like when and then free money for Winfrey pocket

00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:42.809
like Joseph Rogan, not Joe Rogan. But Joseph like spill it all out. See, we've seen we sat here right now we don't unlock some shit. He's probably gonna reach like Antarctica.

00:09:43.289 --> 00:09:43.559
Since

00:09:43.559 --> 00:10:05.070
we're talking about racism. This week. This whole list looks kind of racism. So that's the number one episode of the year for us, the Joe Rogan experience. The second episode that got the most views was the real Slim Shady. That was an episode where we had we had Mikey Sheehan and he was ranting about it. his dislike of Eminem, I believe, remember that? Yes.

00:10:05.129 --> 00:10:16.649
Then Then the third most listened to episode was Brian Flores versus the NFL and racism we're still on the racism theme.

00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:22.919
The fourth most listened to Episode caught me by surprise is the one where we had Mr. Steven Martin on the Law of One with Steven Martin.

00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:35.669
Hey, man, I gotta give probably Stephen more credit named Steven probably got to push up. He probably was actually one of people and that's why I behaved a little funky ass guest of ours but yo, posting leadership better Mr.

00:10:35.669 --> 00:10:39.419
Mark went out there and did exactly what he needed to do, which I appreciate. Thank

00:10:39.419 --> 00:10:43.500
you. Well, Mr. Gameface, he was put he was pushing it on Twitter. I saw that much.

00:10:43.529 --> 00:10:46.289
No, I mean, it's like, alright,

00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:53.580
but then again, he was just like retweeting. What I was retweeting. Actually, he did post something he did say, if I could find so he just say some shit on Twitter.

00:10:53.850 --> 00:10:56.340
I got you. All right.

00:10:53.850 --> 00:11:07.139
So finish number one, and I tell you what my kind of animus is towards guests. I've thought about it. Not recently, but a while not to never told you the next plane. So what was what was the other one that was on there?

00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:10.889
Oh, look, Mr. Gameface.

00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:38.250
Lee on Twitter. He put it's always a blessing to break bread with real ones on the pod. Be sure to catch the latest episode of the culture with Jeff and as we discuss the coach's influence on the NBA. Alright, so the number the number one was the Joe Rogan. So the number fifth episode most listened to episode for us last year was You can't touch this. And I remember what we were talking about in that episode. But that was the title.

00:11:33.750 --> 00:11:38.250
You can't touch this.

00:11:39.480 --> 00:12:18.000
It's not that I dislike guess. It's not that I dislike him that you do. No, no, no, I honestly, it's not that I swear to Christ. It's not that it really comes down to the fact that I want people to do so to have a conversation and discussion and move forward like that. A lot of people let's come in and kind of like start rambling about themselves, which is fine. But to a degree, some of them not all. Some of you think I'm talking about you fuck you go a little bit too far.

00:12:18.629 --> 00:12:31.019
Like, what was surprising to me on the top five that came up last year because I thought was probably one of the better ones that we did. Because he's such a good, good guest, like the DC Glenn one. That's the president and up in the top five noted me

00:12:32.190 --> 00:12:34.590
now, but that wasn't last year, though. I think that was the year before.

00:12:34.649 --> 00:12:38.129
That's only 41. Right?

00:12:34.649 --> 00:12:49.649
Yeah, I'm talking 2022 Jesus Christ. That's how long my brain has not been working. But I like when we come out and you see something worthwhile, but you're also interacting with like us.

00:12:44.519 --> 00:13:00.750
So people don't interact with us. And we would like you to start talking for the sake of talking. And I'm like, I don't I get it. You gotta shut the fuck up now, because you like we want to carry on to some other shit and to start rambling on and on.

00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:34.139
And it's charming to a degree because I know they really have something to say about themselves. And they really want to kind of break it down. And really, really, really get the shit off of their chest. But a fair amount of time, but like, do we really need to have this conversation about this shit right now? And I'm like, and all honesty, no, that's all I really just don't really like talking to them. No offense to people, I enjoy talking to people. But sometimes when they get on that little rambling shit like that, and I think we've got to kind of do a better job at it, like just kind of slowing them down and stopping them. That's really the bigger problem outside of that.

00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:34.470
Everything else is just fine with me.

00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:49.740
Well, most guests when they come on a podcast because they got something that they want to promote, right, you know, I'm saying so they, a lot of them tend to just want to just talk about themselves and whatever they're selling their book, their website, their own from pocket, you know, whatever it is. And they just want to get people to go to that.

00:13:50.729 --> 00:14:09.298
Next time. We're gonna get them five minutes, seven minutes, seven sounds like a nice round number. Two minutes to you, here's your window to talk all the shit you need to talk. Get it out the way say what you need to say do what you got to do, then everything gonna be fine. But until then, Nah, don't do that.

00:14:10.830 --> 00:14:31.110
And then the final stats that we have are the most popular cities that our show was listened to. Again, this was surprising. Check this out. The most popular city was Los Angeles. Los Angeles, California. Okay, I don't even know anybody in Los

00:14:31.110 --> 00:14:33.809
Angeles don't matter the internet's everywhere.

00:14:34.830 --> 00:14:37.980
You know what I'm saying?

00:14:34.830 --> 00:14:39.179
The furthest west we go is Mikey she and he's in what Portland?

00:14:40.740 --> 00:14:44.190
Yes, the Pacific Northwest

00:14:44.940 --> 00:14:47.309
in Portland ain't even on this list. Oh fuck you Mikey she

00:14:49.980 --> 00:14:53.700
not got to say Mikey sell more cars. You can stick them in the gym or

00:14:54.419 --> 00:15:11.820
Portland is not even on his list bro. Is it goes like this Los Angeles. Number one then is Dallas, Texas. Number To then it's Chicago Illinois. Then it's Houston Texas. And then lastly it's Seattle Washington.

00:15:07.409 --> 00:15:17.279
And I guess Mikey she's close enough right? Yeah. Okay. See see but I do have family out there have a cousin out there too. Right in Spokane,

00:15:17.309 --> 00:15:19.620
you know Mike in his like in the area.

00:15:21.450 --> 00:15:23.730
I was surprised that there's no Florida cities here.

00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:33.120
We have a we have we have listenership in Florida. I thought I thought the majority of our listeners live was a Florida I guess I was wrong.

00:15:33.330 --> 00:15:58.590
I think the thing is that it because like, you're going to get more where there's more populated places. And the places that you name are extremely populated. Like, you're like you're you're rarely ever going to get on New York, because there's so many people posted here. And so many podcasts and so many shows and whatever. Yeah, but that's Yeah, but Lark says like that you were here yesterday? Yeah, we are.

00:15:58.590 --> 00:16:01.289
So I was surprised, right.

00:15:58.590 --> 00:16:12.419
So you would think that, you know, at least our friends and family all make up New York, New Jersey, I mean, tri state area, I figured that one of those states would be there, but New York and New Jersey and in Florida. And then

00:16:12.750 --> 00:16:25.139
the thing is that if you didn't know us both affiliations and didn't know the way that we talk, you probably wouldn't know where to fuck with from. It's kind of like a dead giveaway, because we know which, where we are, it's what happens.

00:16:25.710 --> 00:17:08.460
So if we get on like that, we start talking and like we realized, like, Okay, where are these people from Florida. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna be blunt about this, I don't give a shit. I'm just glad to share all this. And and then like, the time and effort and hours that we put into it, like, can't say nothing more than Thank you. And that it's appreciated that it matters that we try to give you good content, whenever we get on here to get to talking about things going on in the world. So to have your do that and have you got to be so you know, a part of this, and so on so forth. Like says 2023, we're just kind of keep cranking it out, kind of keep trying to do better, and figuring out where to go forward with this. And right now, all I can say really, you know, thank you.

00:17:09.750 --> 00:17:33.299
For real. But the one thing sadly, and unfortunately, that the deal that these geographical numbers taught me is that I think and I think this is true, most of the time for any business venture, anything that you got going on, that the majority of your supporters are not going to be friends and family. Yeah, sure. Absolutely.

00:17:28.230 --> 00:17:42.509
Like, I found that family, you know, I mean, I don't know, for whatever reason, like they just don't care they hate. Like, you know, maybe, you know, maybe we're just not their cup of tea.

00:17:40.380 --> 00:18:24.539
You know, I noticed podcasting for everybody. You know, I'm saying we come in here, and rant and Kherson talking about topics that people might not be interested in. I get that. But you would expect that you know what I'm saying the majority of your listeners would be friends and family right now. So when I saw the geographical stats of you know, where we're listening to the most, and I didn't see New Jersey, I didn't see New York. I didn't see Florida up there. This is where the majority of my family is, and my you know, my friends. I was like, oh shit. Like, opens your eyes a little bit, you know what I mean? And the last time that I felt that was when I published my, my book, you know, my poetry book that I published way back in, like 2009, I think it was.

00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:39.240
And the majority of the sales did not come from friends and family. It came from it came from me, the co workers, random people, online, whatever, like you're not I mean,

00:18:39.779 --> 00:18:45.240
because you're not making a shit for your friends or family you're making for a demographic. Right? It's anything

00:18:45.240 --> 00:19:05.400
about you would think but you would think that your friends and family would be quick to support you and I'm saying, I don't know. Maybe Maybe Maybe I give to people too much credit or maybe I try to see people through my like the way I would be you know, I mean, like if you came out with anything, whether I could relate to it or not. I'm gonna support like OSHA Anthony wrote a book OSHA Anthony got the show, I'm gonna check it out. Because that's my man's you know, man,

00:19:05.699 --> 00:19:19.499
right? Right. But it kind of comes down to this, if even for one to support it, it's okay. amongst black people that have this tendency to like to raise money for like trips or whatever, whatever it might be.

00:19:17.128 --> 00:19:29.548
They like they sell dinners, right? You pick a side, it might be ribs, it might be fried chicken, it might be fried fish, it might be whatever Macaroni Cheese sides, blah, blah, blah.

00:19:26.638 --> 00:19:56.489
Like, they make them they sell them they make money they so on so forth. It might pay for a trip or might do something for them and they might need like some additional assistance. So they do this to kind of get by right. I've known many people who have sold dinners or whatever whatever it might be, but have a bar from every single one of them apps the fucking look they're not there. No, you can't cook. And I'd rather just give you the money, then buy the shit and go forward like that.

00:19:53.368 --> 00:20:09.358
Because I know you're shooting shit. And I understand that it might be offensive to some people but you got to be honest about it, you know, God damn, well, some people just can't do certain things, you probably shouldn't have to do it, you're taking offense to it in regards to like, Well, why wasn't friends and family doing that?

00:20:09.358 --> 00:20:24.838
Because that, because that's kind of that's kind of a closed loop because like I said, they're gonna buy it once. And then that's it. But other people that are interested in your works, or in this, you want the randomized person to do it.

00:20:25.138 --> 00:20:47.429
Because I know people who have listened to this, and have heard it, and then someone else was listening to him said, what were you listening to, then they tell them, it works better that way, amongst your friends and family, that's a very closed off circle, because it doesn't go anywhere beyond that, because they're gonna go from your friend to your family. And they probably already have a connection.

00:20:44.578 --> 00:21:24.568
Somehow, your friends know your friends, your family know, your family doesn't go anywhere. You want to go beyond that you want to reach the people we don't think is going to reach. That's why the most surprising fact you'll have all of that information on the board. The thing that kind of caught your attention the most like we'll listen to an 80 countries that yeah, that matters, because it's somewhere where we're not supposed to have any kind of footprint or foothold into, but they're hearing it. So friends and family, that's great. But the fact that people that you're never going to see you're never going to meet, but took the time out of it to just listen to this thing. I mean, it's important, and I get how you will feel a particular way, but I wouldn't feel too beat up about it.

00:21:22.019 --> 00:21:42.269
Because that means you have a greater like circle of influence than you possibly ever even imagine. Thinking that we're actually being listened to by people out of this state out of this country, literally. So it makes a difference. The fact that we even got to that point from where we started. It's a big fucking shift.

00:21:42.930 --> 00:22:11.130
Yeah, I don't want to spend too much time on this topic. Because it is we could probably do a whole episode about this. But since we're on the topic, it reminds me also of you know, when my son was selling you know, whatever the candies or the chocolate, you know how to make the kid sell whatever to fundraise money for the school. And in kindergarten, yay. Yeah, I'm saying I, so everything is digital and everything. You don't go to paper.

00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.460
Right? So I said, Oh, yeah, the fucking thing. Yeah, I remember. Okay.

00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:20.789
Yeah, you just donated money. You ain't even want no candy. You're flipping kids.

00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:41.400
Yeah, you take the money. So I sent everybody I knew in the entire world, I sent everybody the link, right. And if I tell you the amount of family bro that just ignored the link, or that said, Oh, I'll take a look at it later. And never responded back was alarming to me, is for my fucking five year old son was saying for him to raise money for his school for them to be able to supply shift for him.

00:22:41.970 --> 00:22:46.380
This is not this is not gonna make me listen more. No majority.

00:22:47.460 --> 00:22:51.089
And he ended up raising he ended up raising some like $130.

00:22:51.119 --> 00:23:03.390
And the majority of that shit besides me buying and my wife buying shit for him. Besides us, the majority of the shit was friends and co workers. With a handful of relatives?

00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:08.819
Yes. Why am I to ask a fuse? Why are you shocked by this?

00:23:10.380 --> 00:23:31.740
I don't know. I mean, I mean, we had this we we talked about family and Patreon exclusive opening up series. And I don't know, I guess I shouldn't I guess at this stage of my life, almost 4020 20 I shouldn't be surprised at anything that you get from family. So you don't I mean, you shouldn't just be you shouldn't be, you should expect the worst now from people I guess.

00:23:33.240 --> 00:24:10.380
I'm going to break you off a very important piece of advice that I want you to hear me clearly Okay. When it comes to family, you are concerned about your own. And I mean, immediate family. Outside of that, do not expect anything from anyone outside of the immediacy, anything, you're only setting yourself up for the support. And the reason why I can say this so clearly. Because as you get older, you're your friend, your cousins, everything else or that they get older.

00:24:11.009 --> 00:24:29.160
They have kids that they get to do shit for them, and their families and so on so forth, it starts to expand, it's not small as you thought it was when you were younger. If it's not for the immediate family, don't worry about it. Don't take offense. Don't get hurt over it.

00:24:24.990 --> 00:24:40.319
Don't be bothered by it. Because it's like, like you're wasting all this energy getting mad about people that you wouldn't seen or talk with or hung around with for a long period of time.

00:24:36.299 --> 00:24:47.759
The ones you should get at are the ones that outside the immediate family, the ones that come around for family events.

00:24:42.930 --> 00:25:22.710
And when you're there then you can tell that shit them right there in their face. Like I had some for my son what was going on with that if they give you a valid reason if they don't give you relevant and just letting them know. But outside of small, immediate circle, don't waste your time. but anything else because everyone has their own ideas and opportunities and motives and so on so forth, and dragging yourself into this shit. Just draining more time from your life you only got so much left so don't worry about it. And that small circle, keep everything that's important and that matters to you there outside of that whatever happens so those will be the same

00:25:22.710 --> 00:25:33.660
people when they have a fundraiser and they send you the link you know I'm saying they want you to participate. You got my dumb as will be the first one we want Marie in donating whatever for the cause, you know, I'm saying their support and shit. But

00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:44.940
let's not dog basing that shit. You you check your balance. You see how like, how does it break it down? Like do I have anything to spare? Nope, sorry, can't do it. It'd be I can't do it.

00:25:47.940 --> 00:25:59.009
When you think about racist sports, cities or towns or states, what comes to mind?

00:25:53.910 --> 00:26:10.019
What is one of the first Taliban Excuse me? There's no Alabama teams. Unless you're talking about college. Professional sports. Let's talk about professional sports. Boston.

00:26:05.339 --> 00:26:13.200
Boston, is the first city that comes to my mind when I think about racist sports towns.

00:26:13.500 --> 00:26:15.839
You ever heard what they did to Bill Russell? Yeah,

00:26:15.869 --> 00:26:18.779
they call them all type of n words and throw batteries at them and bananas and shit.

00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:28.079
He was on a roll when they broke into his house tours house up road you're gonna want to shoot on his bed. That's fucking crazy. That and that's when he retired. He never went.

00:26:28.140 --> 00:26:30.329
He never lived in Boston after that. That's why

00:26:30.779 --> 00:26:34.230
but did you see what happened to the New England Patriots recently on their website?

00:26:35.789 --> 00:26:39.450
Now they're interested in I have not.

00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:53.940
Okay. Well, there was a tweet. Right? I guess they were trying to reach a million flock followers right on their whatever page. Somebody with the hashtag I hate AdWords. Okay.

00:26:54.450 --> 00:26:59.640
Actually with the actual words spelled out. So I guess you

00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:02.309
know, he that was the Twitter tag.

00:27:02.878 --> 00:27:26.909
That was the hashtag I hate AdWords. Great. Okay. The actual word right. Got it. The Patriots go ahead and they tweet out. At I hate and worse, thanks for helping us become the first NFL team with 1 million followers hashtag 1 million patriots. And then there's a picture of a football jersey.

00:27:27.388 --> 00:27:31.409
Number one on the back. It says hashtag I hate and words.

00:27:32.429 --> 00:27:44.848
Hashtag 1 million patriots thanks, patriots nation number 1 million patriots blah, blah, blah. Then that was as 6:02pm.

00:27:46.199 --> 00:28:04.739
And then they go ahead and issue an apology, several hours later saying We apologize for the regrettable tweet that went out from our account, our filtering system failed, and we will be more vigilant in the future.

00:28:00.479 --> 00:28:10.199
Now, I don't know how old this is. But I this just came across me. You know, like people were posting this shit on Twitter.

00:28:07.618 --> 00:28:35.669
And I had never seen this show before. Right. We apologize for the regrettable tweet that went out from our account, our filtering system failed and we will be more vigilant. First of all, our filtering system failed. Why don't they have actual humans sending these tweets out? Or you know what I mean? Because you got to pay him. And why is words like the N word. Not being captured by your filters are being flagged.

00:28:36.628 --> 00:29:23.398
Freedom is being your algorithm. And I G, G AR It's the nager family. Family. That's all it is because of our ability and our constitutional right to have freedom of speech, you're allowed to say certain things, even things that are vile, incomprehensible to the majority of people. The fact that somebody uses a hashtag and the thing that I'm thinking is that it might have been a bot who did that like all these times in a row kept sending an atom that eventually like will probably get to the million one collective year the millionth person to the million account listen I say person because you might be a bot. So someone did that on purpose and then they apologize for it. And they should did a better job of it.

00:29:23.429 --> 00:29:34.528
But like I said it's been my constant complaint about why people in general is you do something and then you want to apologize for it like you shouldn't you don't have to apologize for something you didn't do in the first place.

00:29:34.528 --> 00:29:45.269
I'm not gonna say sorry for something I didn't do. And like I said you did that you got lazy about it you got caught and therefore that's how you ended up in this predicament. Should they have done better? Fuck yes.

00:29:42.239 --> 00:29:52.409
But I mean, this happens all the time. I'm so used to it and it's such a weird thing. What exploiting that like expecting to do so that bad about it? Nah, shit that just

00:29:52.440 --> 00:30:05.220
so that was circulating online. I should have went viral this way. No, that was trending This Week on Twitter. And it was just a reminder, just to do Just real quick to remind everybody that Boston is still a racist fucking. Well,

00:30:05.490 --> 00:30:20.700
like it's because of their history, it's just an easy target. Like if they would have did that anywhere else. I mean, he probably would have gotten the same apology, but it just kind of seems karmic, especially with Boston's history, so yeah, it just,

00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:40.200
I just I just feel like every time I hear an interview with a performer player or whatever, and they ask them, like, what is the worst town you ever played in? They always say Boston, like, if it's a black player, I feel like you always hear them say, oh, Boston, they used to always the fans used to always yell racial slurs at me, you know what I mean? Like I hear it all the time in interviews,

00:30:41.250 --> 00:31:33.900
which is, which is no, let me think about that. I'm trying to think about the teams in the south, but the teams in the South that genuinely like areas that have a strong minority population, like, like if you go to Atlanta, or Miami, or even like Texas, like Dallas, San Antonio Houston, like it's a larger population of minorities in those areas. But I think you can when you think of bossing just think of white and you just kind of go so I was Portland's white, but they're the same kind of progressive but Boston just doesn't and I mean, that's that's more of a slight against Boston and a lack of growth and anything else I don't know, in regards to how the city has done to improve that if anything else, but this is definitely helping.

00:31:34.980 --> 00:32:04.829
Like you come in you come to New York and we're gonna yell all kinds of shit at you. We're gonna talk about your mom your ugly ass wife, your kids. We're gonna call you a bum bum but I've never you know, and I'm not saying it doesn't happen. You know, I go to at least one Yankee game a year I go to at least one knick game a year I try to go to at least a giant game a year. And in all the years of me attending games with me watching games on TV, I've never heard anybody a fan yell out a racial slur. Again. I'm not saying it doesn't happen.

00:32:04.829 --> 00:32:18.630
I'm sure it does. I'm sure there's isolated incidents, but I feel like Boston is known for that shit right? Like you don't hear that in New York and New York they'll say yeah, those fans a while they throw shit at you they'll scream at you but they don't be like you and were you black bitch you know I mean like

00:32:20.579 --> 00:32:49.349
because you're in the Bronx and you in Queens you're not making that sad my life locals like me think he think he goes say like the N word in the in the Bronx and be able to think you're gonna make it out of the Grand Concourse and back to your train safely. No shit. I know you're surrounding Boston like is way more people that are white. And I say not all white people are racist, but for some reason ones that tend to like go to sporting events are racist.

00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:56.940
So it goes a little bit sideways. It just is it's the demographics of the area that kind of make the situation keep happening more and more so.

00:32:59.130 --> 00:33:03.119
Thanks, Dr. King. We're trying but they fucking this up is

00:33:04.980 --> 00:33:07.529
now I'm bringing this up.

00:33:04.980 --> 00:33:07.529
You tell me if this is racist?

00:33:07.740 --> 00:33:15.900
Sure. Have you seen the new Scooby Doo? Carrot cast of characters? Yes, a new Velma series?

00:33:15.990 --> 00:33:17.190
Yes. Okay,

00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:31.319
so they got the new Velma series and Velma now is being played by Mindy. Mindy Kaling are killing it and she's, you know, she's Indian, right? Yes.

00:33:25.140 --> 00:34:20.880
And then we have Shaggy, whose name is Norville, who I had no idea is played by Sam Richardson, who has a black brother. So they got him playing Norville, aka Shaggy. Daphne has now played by Constance Wu, who's Asian. And then Fred is still a fucking white dude played by Glenn Howerton. So they kept him white. Great. So they changed all the other three characters to minorities. And they left this dude. You know, the blond haired blue eyed stand up gentleman guy. He's the white shag. He's the fucking stoner so he's now black. Velma is the fucking lesbians. So she's now you know. Black, she's Indian.

00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:26.400
And then the whore Daphne, who's the fucking slut of the group.

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:26.400
So she's now Asian. Am I wrong?

00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:27.360
She's the promiscuous one.

00:34:27.389 --> 00:34:29.010
Kim. Can you continue?

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:35.130
Reminds me I was watching the I was watching the show with my son bro. They have a Scooby Doo meets John Cena movie right.

00:34:36.150 --> 00:34:52.530
It was like some giant it was like some WWE collaboration with Scooby Doo and John Cena is in it as a cartoon character, whatever his voice and they got some of the other wrestlers. And Daphne the whole time is like, trying to suck this dude off bro. Like the whole time. She's like sweating him and she's like, in love with John Cena and she's like flirting with them.

00:34:52.829 --> 00:35:16.949
And I'm like, is this a kid's movie? Like she's being real aggressive. Yo But anyway, is it racist that they made the stoner black? The Lesbian, Indian and the slow Asian? No, I'm more concerned that they made the stoner black. Well, why can't Fred be the black dude?

00:35:18.090 --> 00:35:20.969
Well, I'm saying okay, because

00:35:20.969 --> 00:35:26.010
ain't nothing wrong with Fred why he why he still got to be white. He's the only one out of his whole crew that says regular.

00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:29.219
Right but but regular To what degree

00:35:29.940 --> 00:35:47.610
just to the to the to the societal norms. You know what I mean? The quote unquote, societal norms. He's just a regular dude. He wears his little bow ties and even a bow tie was that called the Ascot fucking tie with his little sweater, and his collared shirt.

00:35:43.889 --> 00:35:56.429
Like so that said, he kept his shirt and he's supposed to be like, the leader of the crew, and all it is, but he's the white dude. We got the lesbian chick is a minority. The Stoner is a minority, and the slot is a minority,

00:35:56.460 --> 00:36:00.059
and he kept but he kept the white guy still be in the same white guy.

00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:03.329
He's a white guy friend play by Glenn Howerton,

00:36:03.509 --> 00:36:36.989
right. I mean, there's nothing wrong with subverting tropes. And I think that this is fine. It's not really a big concern of mine. I think the thing about its art and art can be a lot of things racist might be one of them. I think they just want to put people of color in different roles. And it's a cartoon. And like, I think we're kind of at the point that not not all cartoons are meant specifically for children like you would never would you ever show your son Rick and Morty?

00:36:37.528 --> 00:36:41.278
No. Right? Or Ren and Stimpy or Beavis and Butthead?

00:36:41.518 --> 00:36:43.498
Right? And I love them shits going off

00:36:43.528 --> 00:36:48.478
great. But you realize like, even as a kid that shit really wasn't for kids or kids really shouldn't be watching them.

00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:50.969
She has had no business being on Nickelodeon at all.

00:36:51.030 --> 00:36:51.809
None of them. She's

00:36:52.170 --> 00:36:57.780
right. I mean, the Scooby Doo mysteries are still out there for him to watch that.

00:36:54.269 --> 00:37:01.260
This is just something that they were doing different.

00:36:57.780 --> 00:37:03.960
Apparently, a lot of people hate it or a lot of people love it.

00:37:01.260 --> 00:37:07.800
Like, this is one of those things where there is no middle.

00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:22.440
It's not like as good. Either you like I fucked with this or I don't fuck with this is that's kind of how this goes. The recasting of things. I don't think it's necessarily a bad if I haven't really gotten into yet. I wonder what they're gonna do with Scooby? Like, is Scooby even going to?

00:37:22.469 --> 00:37:29.130
I don't know, it comes out. I don't think it's come out. Yeah, it's coming out on HBO. So it's gonna be probably I'm assuming if it's on HBO is gonna be adult themed.

00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:31.889
It's HBO max. Now. It was already up.

00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:40.050
Oh, so if they're gonna so I wonder what the rating is. If it's going to be more adult oriented, then you know, Daphne is going to take it to a next level of sluttiness.

00:37:43.230 --> 00:37:44.130
From what I've

00:37:44.130 --> 00:37:47.579
heard, yeah, she won't be tossing pussy left and right.

00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:49.769
I don't know if they're going to show the visuals of it.

00:37:49.769 --> 00:37:59.369
But I'm going to assume. I think that anything that kind of subverts what we used to believe to be true is always going to cause some kind of reaction.

00:37:55.469 --> 00:38:02.519
Everyone always probably thought that Velma was probably gay.

00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:08.460
Right? But she wasn't going she wasn't out there flirting with all the women and checking chicks out. You know, I mean, Robin asked is

00:38:09.000 --> 00:39:45.989
why can gay folk be gay folk want to be gay, go ahead and be gay and nobody stopping you. The only reason I stopped is because the way cartoons were done back then there wasn't going to show all that because we always made the assumption that, you know, shagging was high when we the assumption that she was gay. We made the assumption that no, the white guy was smart. When we made the assumption that the red the redhead was promiscuous, promiscuous, right. They'd never out now said it, but they kind of led us on a particular path that kind of made our minds focus that probably are but we don't know, like Shaggy doesn't necessarily have to be a pothead. chatty Chen could just be some dirty as white boy that does his best friend to dog he has nothing else better to do his life but that's hanging out with the van with him in his dog. And the reason that he has the van because he has nowhere to live because he's a dusty white boy. No, we put upon the fact because of the way they drew him. The way he talked the way he did the way he ate. He's probably a pocket that the way this girl dresses and the way she acts around women everything that she's probably gay, you're probably a horde, and you're probably a bright, smart young white man. Now we twisted all leptin. Oh, so if people get mad at that, like we're going off the assumption that you guys have already had, like disregarding color or anything else like that you change the character, you're still getting to the base essence of it, you change. So check it to black, Asian, Indian, whatever else it might be. Still, you're still gonna see him and think of him as like to do who has nothing to do but good holiday, Velma. Now she's out and out gay when you always thought she was gay. You just change the character and I have a problem with it. You already had these assumptions.

00:39:43.050 --> 00:40:06.420
Now they're verifying those assumptions. Now you're mad at assumptions that you already have. And then people get pissed off by that. That never made sense to me like okay, like, let's check it out. Now. Now I'm interested like Okay, so now we're gonna try to take the same thing that I already knew to switch it up a little bit. Okay, does it mean I'm going to be interested in it. I have no idea but I was like, give it a shot.

00:40:02.969 --> 00:40:21.389
But he's a racist. No, I think because of just kind of the person I am, I just think of it as you're giving people of color opportunities to play these very unique characters. I don't think of it as racist. I mean, people have taken on worse jobs, or better jobs. I don't even know what kind of job they're doing.

00:40:19.170 --> 00:40:29.519
I don't know how good this is or how it's not going to be but again, I'm going to check it out. But do I believe that it's racist? These opportunities you take them while they're there?

00:40:27.090 --> 00:40:32.550
All comedians are all friends that got this thing to come back and make this happen. So fucking go ahead and do it.

00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:43.739
Speaking of racism, black on black crime. Have you ever wondered why Dominicans hate?

00:40:41.130 --> 00:40:43.739
Haitians?

00:40:45.269 --> 00:40:49.079
Ah, besides the fact that I put them off on Saturday Island? No.

00:40:49.980 --> 00:40:57.150
Because I don't think a lot of people notice. We share a fucking island with them right.

00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:57.150
But they don't get along.

00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:29.699
Resorts. We got the Punta Cana has got all the good beaches and the rocky shore. But the real reason the real reason why we don't fuck with them is because back in the 19th century, they tried Well, they didn't try they were successful at invading us, colonizing us, enslaving us and occupying us for over 20 years.

00:41:30.750 --> 00:42:21.150
This was back in 1820s. That actually lasted from 1822 to 1844. It goes like this, the Haitian occupations, suppression of Dominican culture, including the Spanish language and Catholic religion, fourfold redistribution of Dominican wealth, and strict policies based on labor led to growing resentment that culminated in a Dominican movement for national independence, which was attained in February of 1844. So shout out to white gloves, John, but we don't really fuck with you, man. Because, you know, when we were just starting to be a little bit free from all the bullshit all the European bullshit, and all the Anglo Saxon bullshit. Here came these motherfuckers when we were at our most vulnerable,

00:42:22.260 --> 00:42:24.449
and we had no weapons.

00:42:22.260 --> 00:42:24.869
I'm guessing you're engaging friends?

00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:29.909
Yeah, we had no weapons.

00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:33.420
Our military was laughable. They just came in and fucked us up.

00:42:29.909 --> 00:42:39.510
You try to take over the whole island. They were like we take it we run this bitch. Nation friends gonna fuck you up? I don't know any Haitians, do you?

00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:46.889
I can tell. I do. I know. They're gonna swing on you. Boy.

00:42:47.849 --> 00:42:53.070
I have a I have a I have a co worker who has a Haitian boyfriend or husband.

00:42:53.550 --> 00:43:00.690
Don't bring that down he's listening to don't matter do not bring the shit up around them unless you want them to square up.

00:43:01.860 --> 00:43:32.579
But now I've got no problems with it. So I'm just telling you the history of why you know, I'm saying there's been 100 year long battle between these countries more than 100 years. And why they don't fuck with each other even though they share an island and the Haitians be like, Hey, man, just move on. Man. We wasn't really trying to occupy Yeah, you know, we try to help you out. They look at it as them trying to help out and trying to unify the island by taking over the motherfucker.

00:43:33.150 --> 00:43:44.099
Okay, so what you're saying is that y'all are the aggrieved and Haitians are acting like white people correct got it. Okay. Haitians acting like white people but then y'all one and now y'all acting like white

00:43:44.099 --> 00:43:48.329
people are we we still black a shit

00:43:48.659 --> 00:44:30.900
yeah but yeah I tried keeping the outside out at night you yes we all yeah yeah not gonna say let's let's let's extend this resort shit oh border wall up ASAP Rocky girl black asking the other side of that wall Yeah, I wouldn't have wars y'all keep that shit right over there. Do not bring that shit over here. Y'all have made racist shit I made it very very clear to you don't fuck with Haitian people like that which doesn't make a whole lot of sense because both you guys understand the person if you kind of have a general grounds upon that there's some places to move on and grow from that. But you still want to bang back and forth. Like the reason you like a pop ship. Like the Haiti not because you know, like it's like it's a kind of a broken country.

00:44:27.239 --> 00:46:20.789
So therefore, like, you're not gonna start in a war because I can't really afford to go to war to try to do this shit again. So we cool. But, like, from my from my view. bofi MAFAC need help every time hurricane season come around each other, but like nah, we'll wait. We'll wait, whatever to come. We're I think it should be more of a unified kind of police, especially with everything else going on like that. It's so strange. That all the shift from the past has such an effect in the future where You just still can't get along for some shit that happened so long ago. And I get it. The dominance of one people one culture over another will absolutely leave a bad taste in your mouth. I mean, quite simply look at Israel. But more than anything else, it kind of comes down to like, especially like with hate, like God damn. And we've been doing this shit so long, like, don't you think both of us will be better if we can just combine these resources instead of just like, not send the shit here? Don't send it there. It's It's so weird that it's come down today. Yeah, but it's no disagreement an issue for me. Regards to either culture. I'm friends with people who are Haitian and friends with people who are Dominican. I generally choose not to have that conversation with them about that, because I know for them, not specifically them but more like their family like older people like their grandparents or something like that. It brings a very, like bitter feelings. So something I actively avoid, but I'm like, both of y'all have suffered in one way or another under the crush of someone else's ideology. Like notice your past that can't we get past this, but I mean, sometimes this should just carries on. I don't know if it follows me some time, but I don't find it weird. I get a clearer understanding of why that feeling would be but it's like, fuck, we still carrying this shit on man. That's amazing to me.

00:46:22.170 --> 00:46:26.369
But let's end the show with a topic that you wanted to quickly touch on

00:46:26.579 --> 00:46:31.409
it quickly though, think about the shit. But go ahead and bring it up when I hear you.

00:46:32.429 --> 00:46:43.650
Talking about the Rolling Stones, top 200 Singers of All Time lists that they just dropped. And the shit is blasphemous. If you ask me.

00:46:40.469 --> 00:46:43.650
There might be even racist.

00:46:44.940 --> 00:46:51.960
No, it's more like I knew that it had to sprinkle some particular white people in there. I don't like the placement of center by people, but they have to be placed in there.

00:46:53.219 --> 00:47:07.860
Like okay, they got this is the top 200 They got brandy at 193. And she's not the best thing or a whole time. I'm not saying that. But they got her a 193 and then they have somebody like, by the name of Jong Kook, higher than her.

00:47:08.278 --> 00:47:11.188
All right, we can't be racist. We can't be racist.

00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:15.599
But the WHO THE FUCK IS a no unone at 192

00:47:16.500 --> 00:47:28.920
As someone that you're just not familiar with. But again, there are like if Brenda's at 193 there are like 192 Best thing as a hitter.

00:47:29.309 --> 00:47:30.929
I'm not saying that we'll have black people on this list.

00:47:30.929 --> 00:47:34.230
They definitely do. It's just a placement of said black people.

00:47:34.380 --> 00:47:41.400
It's like okay, like like 190 Frank Ocean. I think brand is a better thing than Frank Ocean. But I think Frank's had a better career. For liquid.

00:47:38.909 --> 00:47:41.400
He's

00:47:41.400 --> 00:47:45.239
one he got Alicia Keys at 185 Alicia Keys. Got some pipes.

00:47:46.409 --> 00:47:53.400
Let's not mistake that shit. But then they got Karen Oh above her. I don't know about that. I

00:47:53.400 --> 00:48:04.710
got Jasmine tell me 182 Now Jason Sullivan can sing her ass off. But if she if she should be any higher than that, no, she just hasn't had the kind of career outside of her last album. We're just like, Yeah, but this ain't

00:48:04.739 --> 00:48:07.199
But this ain't the list of best careers though. Brother.

00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:09.030
This is the list of best singers.

00:48:09.210 --> 00:48:11.909
Correct. But Bob Seger.

00:48:09.210 --> 00:48:11.909
181

00:48:12.150 --> 00:48:18.059
right. He's above all the black people that we just mentioned. But again, but the guy says that I want 80 Okay, but you

00:48:18.059 --> 00:48:34.800
should put jet if you're singing singing She put Jasmine Solomon above it, but you're thinking of careers because it goes above Jazmine Sullivan. It's not it's not purely vocal ability. It's that is your like, your career basically your impact so on and so forth. Fuck all that.

00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:50.940
It's a whole I'm not there yet. I'm surprised I got one Gabrielle on here. 172 Why are you surprised? Good Mexican singer. When I think of Rolling Stones, I'm thinking that you're gonna be super racist. I wasn't expecting no Spanish mafia because I got Selena on here today. Got Mark Anthony wants 67

00:48:50.969 --> 00:48:53.369
It should just be single. Yeah. You got a

00:48:55.019 --> 00:49:06.269
bunch of white people. I don't know. A bunch of these motherfuckers. Francoise Hardy.

00:48:57.150 --> 00:49:10.590
Brenda Lee 161. Mercedes Sosa she might be Spanish.

00:49:06.630 --> 00:49:20.460
Mississippi John Hurt. That's a blood gentleman's Yes. Carrie Underwood made the list she's 158 Robert Smith, George Strait.

00:49:13.829 --> 00:49:23.550
Why people can't vote with country music. No offense.

00:49:20.460 --> 00:49:23.550
Koren. Tucker 155.

00:49:23.579 --> 00:49:26.369
You never listen to country music country music Great. Yeah, I

00:49:26.369 --> 00:49:29.190
can't fuck with your mom.

00:49:26.369 --> 00:49:29.190
Sorry. It's touching me.

00:49:29.250 --> 00:49:31.409
I'm not saying it should be in your playlist. But

00:49:32.610 --> 00:49:41.099
let's get to the nitty gritty of this shit, man. Here we go. I'm in the 150s Martha Reeves. 151 get through when you want to rant about

00:49:43.739 --> 00:49:50.730
look, go just just just go to the top 20 Let me know you're there. You there?

00:49:51.539 --> 00:49:55.320
No. Okay. Act and I'll pull it up. Pull it up. So alright,

00:49:55.619 --> 00:49:59.489
so 20 is Marvin Gaye got no problem with that, man.

00:49:59.489 --> 00:50:10.710
20 is my Marvin Gaye 2019 Frank Sinatra got no problem with that. 18 Celia Cruz got no problem with that. 17 They got probably 17 Elvis.

00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:15.510
I wasn't really known as a singer though, as an entertainer.

00:50:15.570 --> 00:50:39.900
And my thing is that you can have Elvis or you can have Frank, you can't have both one or the other. Not both. But I think this is the whole totality of a career kind of thing. But I'm like, Nah, I don't think Elvis should be 17 I don't think he should be 17 So what the saying that all singers ahead of this should be better than Elvis which is going to be logical which I approve of.

00:50:34.829 --> 00:51:10.019
Prince's 16th Bob Dylan 15 I'm fine with Bob. Freddie Mercury absolutely should be the 13th Patsy Cline again country but you're not really big at but pet declines a great singer. I don't think John Lennon should be there. But he's 12 Never thought of John Lennon was a great singer. They make great music of the Beatles, but it's neither here nor there. Little Richard's 11 hour greens 10 oats readings nine that I gotta promise at number eight is Beyonce. No, she doesn't deserve to be there.

00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:10.019
Love her. A really good singer.

00:51:10.110 --> 00:51:18.630
But does she? Is she better than Marvin Gaye, your oldest reading or algorithm? absolutely mad.

00:51:15.269 --> 00:51:18.630
This is bigger from black men.

00:51:18.630 --> 00:51:36.119
Seven Stevie Wonder six Ray Charles. I'm cool with that five is Mariah Carey fourth, Billie Holiday. Three Sam Cooke to Whitney and one is Aretha Franklin. Now, the reason why I wanted to bring this up because I know you didn't quite look to this list the way that I did.

00:51:33.570 --> 00:51:39.119
And now they have these 200 singers there, right? Guess who's not on the list?

00:51:40.349 --> 00:51:43.409
At all? Who,

00:51:43.829 --> 00:51:47.190
I'll give you five guesses. You can throw any name?

00:51:47.190 --> 00:51:49.559
I'm almost certain that you won't catch it. Unless you

00:51:49.590 --> 00:51:52.230
one number. We'll know what number is Mariah.

00:51:52.739 --> 00:51:58.769
Mariah. I believe she should be in the top 40 I believe she should

00:51:58.769 --> 00:52:03.420
be in the top 10 Where is where is Whitney? She's two.

00:52:04.619 --> 00:52:07.590
Okay. And who you said was one Mariah is

00:52:07.590 --> 00:52:12.179
five. I think Mariah was five Whitney is two and Aretha Franklin's one.

00:52:13.048 --> 00:52:14.278
And who were Celine Dion.

00:52:14.338 --> 00:52:15.539
She's not on here at all.

00:52:16.409 --> 00:52:18.059
Celine Dion is not on this list.

00:52:18.088 --> 00:52:18.898
Not on this list at all.

00:52:20.309 --> 00:52:25.920
Wow. She's in my top five.

00:52:20.309 --> 00:52:28.920
She's not on this list of the two Celine Dion is not on this list. Here bitching

00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:36.300
about brandy and scissor and all these other random white piece. Celine Dion is not on this list at all.

00:52:37.139 --> 00:52:43.440
Okay, so this is not even a racist list. This is just dumb. This is a dumb list. I'll take back any racism about this because has nothing to do with racism. My

00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:49.619
whole thing is just irrelevant. How do you do a top 200 And you completely missed that name? Like how? She's one

00:52:49.619 --> 00:52:52.170
of the greatest vocal voices of all time, bro.

00:52:52.530 --> 00:52:55.320
And honestly, my honestly my most famous song of all time.

00:52:56.309 --> 00:53:00.300
The Titanic shit. Yeah.

00:52:56.309 --> 00:53:33.389
And then and then they had Beyonce at what? 825 Beyonce was eight. I thought she was in the 20 Okay, so So Beyonce is a and then he had Michael Jackson at like 8586 Right. Which to me is blasphemy. I understand that he's known more as an entertainer as a dancer and should go listen to some old Michael Jackson shit bro them I'm focusing go listen to some Jackson Five shit. Like as he got older, yeah, he went away from like, you know, I mean, actually sing into more of a being a performer. But that doesn't mean he couldn't sing.

00:53:30.420 --> 00:53:33.389
You know, he started doing that.

00:53:33.989 --> 00:53:38.309
He started doing all that bullshit. So people was like, He's not really a singer. No more. He's now an entertainer.

00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:46.139
He's a dancer. He's a choreographer he's all of this other shit. You go listen to some Jackson Five shit in his voice is remarkable.

00:53:46.170 --> 00:53:53.190
Don't make a fucking difference. You can dance and flipping through all that if you can sing it don't matter if you can dance and do all the above you know what you are a dancer.

00:53:53.219 --> 00:53:55.920
You're not a singer. Michael Michael is an amazing singer.

00:53:55.949 --> 00:54:12.960
And this is what we're all associated that list this list was compiled by staff and key contributors at Rolling Stone was judged on originality influenced the depth of an artist catalog and the breadth of their musical legacy. That's the reason why I got that's the reason why they got like fucking I was pressing so hard, but he really deserved to be there. But the whole thing

00:54:12.989 --> 00:54:16.619
How is Michael Jackson not that high than if Elvis Presley's high? How come Michael Jackson he

00:54:17.969 --> 00:54:19.559
should be way above that

00:54:19.588 --> 00:54:24.958
period. To this day thriller is still the best selling album of all time.

00:54:23.188 --> 00:54:24.958
Still.

00:54:25.588 --> 00:54:26.909
Got a minute 86

00:54:28.170 --> 00:54:32.010
Let the fuck out. That's why Ron is that's why these lists are relevant to me, man.

00:54:32.130 --> 00:54:41.280
Did he talk about influence? Madonna is not on there. Jennifer Hudson. Jennifer Hudson is not on. Nat King Cole is not on it. And I think Janet Jackson not only either.

00:54:41.670 --> 00:54:43.260
Where's where's Frank Sinatra?

00:54:43.590 --> 00:54:45.030
I think it like 1718

00:54:45.780 --> 00:54:48.750
You see, but what about like guys like Usher?

00:54:48.929 --> 00:54:55.230
They're on it somewhere. Like, yeah, like it's 200 I scrolled through this whole fucking thing that I've been talking about. They're there

00:54:55.230 --> 00:54:59.250
somewhere. You got to look you got to search for these motherfuckers though. Let's see.

00:54:59.280 --> 00:55:03.000
I think I think I should have put on I think he might have been 100

00:55:03.869 --> 00:55:30.960
I think I'm just if you're taking if we're talking about purely singing Celine Dion needs to be in the top five automatically, if we're talking about just the total tattly totality told tad was the word I'm trying to say bro. Totality, the totality, totality, totality just get the fucking word more of a fucking career. If we're talking about the totality of a career, Michael Jackson has to be in the top five ashes 90 We're talking about just voices.

00:55:27.570 --> 00:55:38.639
He still needs to be higher than at some he still needs to be in the top maybe 20 or 30 I know there has to lean up there were number one Selena because that girl could sing

00:55:38.670 --> 00:55:40.739
I gotta find it.

00:55:38.670 --> 00:55:40.739
Actually was 97

00:55:41.849 --> 00:55:44.010
I need to I need to find me Selena Selena

00:55:44.969 --> 00:55:48.059
89 Because whether it was what was it? 89

00:55:48.690 --> 00:55:49.739
She needs to be higher than that.

00:55:50.068 --> 00:55:51.449
She's 80 now okay

00:55:51.449 --> 00:55:56.130
if the if the mainstream America and know who she was at the time of her death and in addition to the girl cussing

00:55:56.219 --> 00:56:04.800
I know but but the and in the Latin community. She was a big deal but you can't say that for like, I don't fuck with countries get hurt. It's gonna get hurt. And I don't

00:56:04.800 --> 00:56:09.420
but I'm not saying that they shouldn't be on the list of they are saying they could be on the list. That's fine. I'm now checking for them.

00:56:09.449 --> 00:56:12.750
Diana Ross 87.

00:56:09.449 --> 00:56:14.789
Michaels. 86. Johnny Cash is at five. Amy we've got

00:56:14.789 --> 00:56:17.820
Michael Jackson right next to Diana Ross on the list.

00:56:17.849 --> 00:56:21.989
That's blasphemy. We were always hit but I'm not taking away away from Diana

00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:28.260
about the musical industry that legacy the impact they have Michael at that number they got Amy Winehouse at 83.

00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:30.269
And I really like

00:56:31.409 --> 00:56:34.409
she had a shortened career bro. She had a shortened career bro.

00:56:34.650 --> 00:56:38.519
Harris Janis Joplin says seven. fuck out of here, bro.

00:56:38.670 --> 00:56:43.980
Where is Hi, check us out.

00:56:38.670 --> 00:56:43.980
Where is where is James Brown?

00:56:44.369 --> 00:56:56.309
You got to be above that. So Wilson Pickett 76 DeAngelo. 75. Kettlebell 74 Get the factor list is crazy. 73 muddy. I'm trying to find give me a second. I'm scrolling through.

00:56:56.670 --> 00:56:59.610
And where is James Brown?

00:56:56.670 --> 00:56:59.849
Where's the brother James Brown that

00:57:00.028 --> 00:57:03.119
they got Rihanna six years. Come on. That's

00:57:03.119 --> 00:57:10.170
crazy. Is that because she's a billionaire? Like, let's put her in here because she's rarely successful. It's sad.

00:57:10.170 --> 00:57:17.940
It's kind of silly. And none of these people there's not one single person on this list. That was more famous or more successful than Michael Jackson.

00:57:16.230 --> 00:57:17.940
Not one.

00:57:18.150 --> 00:57:39.000
Barry Weiss 56 Tina Turner 55 Willie Nelson's 54 Mick Jagger is 52 sides of this 51 They really really do love signing day. I focus on day I know but I'm like, she doesn't think like she released the album. She'd be like out for like eight years or at least some shit be out for a little while. release some shit at a car later. Like Saturday is good. Good for that.

00:57:39.929 --> 00:57:43.710
So look for find out where James Brown is and tell me if Lauryn Hill was on this list.

00:57:43.949 --> 00:57:56.309
And the other part that pissed me off like they got this list design stupid like it should be like, they have the the thing we got to click on the like, they break it down into sections and the next section goes and next section goes on.

00:57:56.309 --> 00:58:05.010
Like, they got to try to get to one section. Toni Braxton was 48 So James, we got to be above her. Maybe staples. James Brown is 44

00:58:06.300 --> 00:58:14.130
James Brown is 44 Okay, four would you have him? I mean, he's not a better entertainer than Michael Jackson. No, maybe a better singer maybe?

00:58:14.429 --> 00:58:28.739
No. You can you can flip flop Michael and Michael and and. And James James. James influenced Michael not the other way around. Like Michael got his that it's the whole thing is it's the James Brown show. The hair the outfits the dancing.

00:58:28.739 --> 00:58:35.099
That's Jane. That he's the godfather. So for a particular reason he he influenced is

00:58:35.099 --> 00:58:37.349
Lauryn Hill on this list.

00:58:35.099 --> 00:58:40.349
I know she's hip hop, but she's also a singer. Prior she was a damn good one too.

00:58:40.920 --> 00:58:44.610
If she's probably going to be lower. But I gotta find it's gonna be

00:58:46.019 --> 00:58:48.929
you mean high on the list?

00:58:46.019 --> 00:58:48.929
Like in the 190s of some shit?

00:58:49.469 --> 00:59:02.789
No, no. Yeah, like, Hey, I mean like that. I'm not another album out loud. I'm gonna try to find a shorter list and it doesn't really break it down like that. I find it cheap.

00:59:02.909 --> 00:59:22.079
I'm I'm very comfortable by saying the way they got this shit going. She's on here somewhere. I just can't find her number. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Just Luciano Russel Christina Aguilar was 141 I know you're gonna get mad get that system right now. Like Chris

00:59:22.289 --> 00:59:24.420
was saying when the girl kissing she's on my top five.

00:59:25.349 --> 00:59:26.369
But the thing is about this

00:59:26.369 --> 00:59:28.949
list and 36 was they have to Lauren hills. 130

00:59:28.949 --> 01:00:08.340
say Lauren has 136 Yeah, but the thing about these lists any kind of list they have to define what the criterias are, you know, when you do lists we usually break down what we're looking for. Like we're looking for lyrics we're looking for this we're looking for whatever longevity whatever they have to identify they have to define what the fucking terms of being on this list are. You can just throw a list of best singers and then just have random people on the shit and not have Celine Dion on and have Michael Jackson at 86 Like, are you looking at the whole career? Are we looking at how much record sales you know? Looking at how you know with the impact of the of your domain, their influence, can they actually saying like, what are we looking at? Because this list sounds crazy to me.

01:00:09.630 --> 01:00:11.969
Very interesting proposition. Give me one you know, I'm

01:00:11.969 --> 01:00:32.250
saying if we're talking about, like, if we do a list of rappers and we talk about the most successful rappers Yeah, you got to put him in them. He's gonna be number one, because he's literally, you know, technically the most successful rapper of all time. He sold the most albums, etc. He's made the most money. But if we're talking about the best storytellers, or the best lyrical or the best beats or whatever, then you know the list is gonna look different.

01:00:33.030 --> 01:00:36.090
Okay, thanks, buddy.

01:00:33.030 --> 01:00:40.320
Somebody. I found somebody got okay. You left off our Kelly to?

01:00:36.090 --> 01:00:47.730
Well, yeah, we don't forget what, again, we're just talking about music and everything else today. It's hard to do it with our Kelly. But they did it because again, that shows your own personal biases, like

01:00:48.030 --> 01:00:49.920
you, but there's a stigma.

01:00:48.030 --> 01:01:02.670
So you know, they're not gonna mention him. There's a stigma behind his name. So they're just gonna leave him on, but I'm sure somebody brought him up when there was in a meeting and having this conversation, somebody brought him up, and then the head of the department was like, now we're gonna stay away from him. Let's see, we're not even gonna bring that up.

01:01:03.090 --> 01:01:19.619
So I put this up so I can I can do it this way. The reason why I had issues with like, what I think is like, because I just, I think that she means a lot to a particular amount of people, but like to have marriage. The blacks are 25 I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

01:01:19.650 --> 01:01:23.130
she's great. She's great.

01:01:19.650 --> 01:01:23.969
But there's people in the 180s that are better singers and

01:01:24.210 --> 01:01:29.489
things like that, but she had a better career, which I understand. Let's think people shot Okay, so

01:01:29.489 --> 01:01:33.929
if we're talking about better careers, you still haven't explained to me why is Michael Jackson 86

01:01:34.050 --> 01:01:41.760
I didn't do the fucking list I got explained shit. I don't know if he shouldn't be that low. He should be

01:01:41.760 --> 01:01:43.949
unless he famous check.

01:01:41.760 --> 01:01:45.329
He's the most famous on the list. Was he rich check?

01:01:46.380 --> 01:01:48.929
was the one that influenced check fingers Yes.

01:01:48.960 --> 01:01:49.409
Yeah.

01:01:49.739 --> 01:01:54.659
Entertainment. Check it out. He's not the best singer on the list. I'm not saying that like vocally

01:01:55.139 --> 01:02:01.380
again that's that's a very good one. You can get Elvis right the fuck up on out of here and just give him Michael's gonna give Michael that spot.

01:02:02.610 --> 01:02:15.420
I have no problem with flip flopping. Yeah, MJ we fucking Elvis and by the way, we didn't even mention rest in peace to Elvis his only daughter, Lisa Marie, who just fucking passed away. She died the same way he did you know with a heart attack.

01:02:16.679 --> 01:02:21.059
That's a shame and it's only child. Oh, yeah.

01:02:21.389 --> 01:02:40.679
And then and then there's the thing I hate to I mean, you know, you get educated but when somebody dies you start finding out she that you had no idea no one you never knew. Like I thought she had no kids. She had like four kids. I know. She was married to Michael for a couple years but I had no idea. She was also married to Nicolas Cage. He was married to Nicolas Cage for like four months.

01:02:40.980 --> 01:02:43.500
