Let me first answer your question. There's a difference inherently. I don't know something about handling the young man and handling a young woman, young girl, young lady. But what's wild is that she's my clone, she's my twin, she's a, a multiversal female variant of me. She sure is, and Dre is Jen. I'm trying to figure out, still right now, today.

Speaker 2:So, as y'all know, 2021, yeah, I left my nine to five, started up my own shop, pretty much doing what I was doing for corporate enterprise, for myself and for them to. I've been doing that for a couple of years now. It's dope. I'm not working on scaling and trying to create a bit more residual income through the business, become a bit more hands off actually, but it's popping, it's popping, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll be quick and brief for my updates and then we can get into news. But Kaco's walking now. Kaco, my daughter, for the new listeners Her dressing on race in like two months.
Speaker 3:Yeah, goodness gracious.
Speaker 1:I mean, she's literally like. Every day she's mastered something, just a little bit more, and now she's like walking without having to put her hands up and not stumbling around all over the place and it's been great being a father. I absolutely love it. It's one of the best jobs if you will.
Speaker 3:Pop a. Jd, yeah, pop a.
Speaker 1:Tizzle. I already fucking know what it was Maybe. Oh shit, what's going on with?
Speaker 2:the butt. Hey, it's been way too long. Okay, we're going to slide the button. You can take over. Yeah, we're going to slide the button.
Speaker 1:It's because I have the glasses on and like it's reflecting.
Speaker 2:what if these are the that happens to me sometime when I be doing that with my board.
Speaker 1:No, but what else is going on? I've attended some shows. Oh yeah, you've been out here, you've been in the streets. Yeah yeah, I went to a J Scott concert back in June and it was.
Speaker 2:No, because I need to listen to it to know what happened. So JT went to go see Jillscott and he came back gasped from the Jillscott concert and he had a great time. Obviously, jillscott, jillscott's great right. But he came back and he was very excited. He let something off. I don't know if he really means this. I want to see if he stands by today.
Speaker 1:Oh that, she's a beautiful big woman.
Speaker 2:That's not what you said, though. What did I say? You said she was one of the most sexy Female entertainers in the game.
Speaker 1:She has a very sexy presence and aura to her.
Speaker 2:So is Aura is now sexy. That's what's sexy now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean she's still sexy. I mean, I wouldn't necessarily. I mean that's not my preference.
Speaker 2:I see Yara, he's switching the game.
Speaker 1:I know, I know I'm going to put it like this. Y'all all know Jillscott. Y'all know that voice, one of the best voices ever to sing.
Speaker 2:There.
Speaker 1:I see Sultry, very Sultry and Sensual. Sensual was probably the biggest keyword and yeah, it was mesmerizing. Even Sam was just like, yeah, she was amazing, but yeah, you know, like I didn't envision like fucking her, but I was like huh. I mean, what is this?
Speaker 4:Yeah, that was it, you said it right, that's all the right buttons.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh. But, yeah, that's dope, got you bitch.
Speaker 4:Man, she got to be one of the baddest in the game.
Speaker 1:She has some big titties, is that? What it did for you, oh boy, I mean she had this silky.
Speaker 2:Was it the demonstration she did at the concert?
Speaker 1:I'm not going to lie, she definitely had like her outfit choice Now that's the wave now. Unless there were like luxury pajamas. There were definitely some red velvet pajamas that she had on. I was like girl you could at least dress up a little bit. Oh, you didn't like the pajamas. But, I wanted to see them, I wanted to see everything. You know what I mean. But she probably gained a little bit of weight, so she didn't want to show it too much, or whatever. Like look it was good.
Speaker 2:What it's? Something that's tripped big time.
Speaker 1:All right, I also went to a WWE show. Okay, so first of all, that's like over here, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. For those who don't know, I mean well, everybody kind of knows that listens to the show. I mean, I'm one half of the nerd group and, yeah, I still watch wrestling. I'm thoroughly entertained by it. I still like love watching it. And this was my second wrestling show that I attended and this time I brought Sam with me Sam and Keko and they thoroughly enjoyed it, keko did. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Sam went from thinking that it was the lamest thing on earth to like now being a fan of some of the actual wrestlers that are going for the championships. You know what I mean, so it was a great time.
Speaker 2:What do you enjoy about it most? Because, certainly watching it as a little one compared to watching it now. I would imagine you get something different.
Speaker 1:I'm going to tell you this. I'm going to try to give you all a unique perspective about wrestling.
Speaker 2:Please. I'm trying to understand that.
Speaker 1:So of course, we know that it's fake as far as, like you know, they're not really trying to hurt each other. It's all staged right. It's theater, yes, theater, exactly. So think of it from a theatric standpoint. You don't know what's going to happen. We assume, we think we know what was about to happen and what not. It's just like, oh man, tights and underwear and stuff, whatever. But as you see, the story is unfold and if you follow it, you know it gets really dramatic. And then when those pop moments happen, it's like watching soccer. And then when you finally see a goal happen, it's like bam, like it's a huge wow moment.
Speaker 1:And a lot of these wrestlers are charismatic as well. Like you know, you had the origins of, like the rock, stone Cold and DX, whatever that doing the suck it. Like we did all the shit from growing up. Yeah, is that right? We're off. The generation next, yeah, generation next. We got two words for you. Come on, man. So, like, like, all of that has been embedded and graved in our culture black culture, for sure. But yeah, it's something that I hold near and dear and that I've been part of, that's been part of my life. For a while I didn't watch wrestling for a good like seven years and then I came back to it. So, yeah, yeah, yeah, so, like I guess the new John Cena right Is this guy named Well, it's, it's converting from this guy named Roman Reigns who's like, yeah, yeah, he's like a cousin of the rock, and then it's about to start converting eventually.
Speaker 1:I think it's going to happen as at WrestleMania next year in Philadelphia where it's going to the man's is going to pass over to this guy named Cody Rhodes. Damn, you remember Cody Rose son of Dustin.
Speaker 3:Oh, dustin Rose, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dustin Rose, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So he's kind of like reinventing himself. He looks like home letter now from the boys.
Speaker 2:Is he like Mac Foley? Yeah, yeah, he's not Mac Mac Foley. Yes, I'm the only child I've ever been to the niggas.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, but like no, he has he's. He has incredible charisma and he's really good on the mic as far as like talking pause, you know, but yeah.
Speaker 2:So anyways, yeah, yeah, that.
Speaker 1:WrestleMania 10. Okay, so now you're just trying to play. I don't know. Did a lot of family travel, nothing too impressive. Just been visiting family and friends. Self improvement I wanted to talk about that, but I've been making a lot of investments treadmill, stocks and and and the equipment and for the to make investment, that's important.
Speaker 1:Right, I want to get into a movie to recap with you eventually, if we have time at the end. But Spider-Man, guardians of the Galaxy, turtles, oppenheimer, transformers, fast X, all that shit, so we'll see. Have you achieved any of your goals for this year so far?
Speaker 2:Yes, you have, I have, but not really I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 1:What goals did you set that you're teetering on or reached or on the verge of reaching?
Speaker 2:I have. I set a pretty aggressive goal that I didn't meet. I didn't meet. I forgot the terminology. I've been at the corporate world. Y'all real quick, quick pause. I need that the world know If y'all haven't heard of this new shit. It's not really new to y'all, but it's new to me because I've been working at home for too long. So instead of taking a restroom break, you take bio break.
Speaker 5:Before the pod I told everybody in the studio to take a bio break.
Speaker 1:That's just so dope. And Dino was like what's that, Are we?
Speaker 2:I mean, I knew what you meant by. I had never heard that shit before.
Speaker 1:Bio hazard bio waste. Oh wow, dump it out, that's some new shit. Drain the lizard. So anyway, that's just in that same vein.
Speaker 2:I don't know what you call it, but now, like that's so dope bio break. When did y'all learn that, though?
Speaker 1:How long it been like a year or two, I mean when you hang out with enough of the Is that old? That can't be old.
Speaker 2:That can't be old though.
Speaker 1:I heard of it in the military.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I thought it came from military culture, but apparently they've been using it for a while.
Speaker 2:Okay. So I'm just saying okay, I've been working, I got completely what I was talking about.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's okay, let's get into the news.
Speaker 4:No keep it right, you sure, yeah, keep it right, hey, hey, hey.
Speaker 1:All right, ladies and gentlemen, as we get nearer to, as we get closer to the fall, a lot of things are coming back. Nfl college football Still 110 degrees. Oh yeah, oh yeah, yes, it is.
Speaker 2:It's crazy.
Speaker 1:Hey, you know, one of the colleges actually made their turf field black.
Speaker 2:Wow I forgot what school that was. Maybe some science behind it. Like it absorbs all the heat so they don't feel it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, who knows? All right, and I'm only just stalling because I'm trying to actually pull out the news because, for whatever reason, I did not have this primed.
Speaker 1:Okay. Tori Lanez has been sentenced to 10 years in state prison for shooting Megan the Stallion. As we previously recorded a report that the singer was initially facing a 13 year sentence. Reports start state judge Harryford sentenced Lanez to six years for assault and additional four more years on a gun sentencing enhancement. So what are our thoughts on this? It's a couple of days old as of this podcast. By the time that this podcast airs, it'll be almost a week.
Speaker 2:I want to give y'all the floor, but I want you to kick us off because I want to make sure I hear your thoughts.
Speaker 1:It's never good to see one of ours go to jail or being sentenced to jail for an alleged act we want to sit here and assume.
Speaker 2:It's not a call, it's not a leg, hold on, I mean like You're convicted, it's sentenced, so it's proven that he did it.
Speaker 1:I want to go first.
Speaker 2:No, no, but I'm just saying not a ledge, though.
Speaker 1:Alleged well, I was going to say alleged of shooting her.
Speaker 2:No, but it's not alleged, no more Like he got convicted of it. Alleged means like, supposed, like accused.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm going based off of all of the facts that have been presented, or not all of the facts, but the statements that have been announced and whatnot. Look, I'm trying to get guys to Just take a ledge. There Are you good, keep it rocking. I'm not vouching for Tory Lanez or whatever. I'm actually not a fan of him or his music. But it sucks that he's been sentenced to 10 years because he's 10 years of his prime years.
Speaker 1:Like he's in his 30s right now and I feel like that for most black men we don't get into our prime until like our 30s. You know what I mean, because that's when we kind of got it figured out. We know we're pretty much well versed into our field of endeavor whatever that may be, and whatnot, and that's when we're starting to build families and whatnot. I don't know if he has any kids, but he's not going to be having any in for the next 10 years.
Speaker 4:I believe so I think so.
Speaker 1:And you said that you don't believe that he's going to serve the full, entire Senate. He's not. He's not. Okay, well, we'll see. He's not going back to Canada, though, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're sending him to Canada and then he's going to have to.
Speaker 2:Oh, is that a side of here?
Speaker 1:Huh, what's going on? I said he couldn't oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, y'all out. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm going to get you in a second.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I wouldn't be out talking, I wouldn't be out talking Tony and Rafi in the building baby.
Speaker 2:We have some good perspective on this.
Speaker 4:No but.
Speaker 5:Tony, then I'll talk to him.
Speaker 4:Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:We'll swing it that way.
Speaker 1:So, it sucks but hopefully justice is served in the right way. I don't know what truly happened None of us know but in the court of law it has been deemed that he indeed discharged his gun, his weapon that he wasn't supposed to be having in California. Y'all got to be more cognizant of these state laws and like doing certain shit I know you're over here saying this nigga getting canceled Ex-him out. Look, I ain't never said that he Okay.
Speaker 1:He ain't cheap, he ain't got nothing, but I'm also not really Buried anything. That's how he feels.
Speaker 2:I'm listening to him for the streets.
Speaker 1:Like Megan, wanted to see this nigga get buried underneath the jail.
Speaker 2:Nah, she asked for school about it early on too. That's what's so ill. I think he buried himself.
Speaker 1:But he did. He was out here punching niggas. Who was it that he punched? I guess I've seen it right. I don't listen, he was just doing too much.
Speaker 2:Like he knew he did it and he was just doing too much. I am Filifying me Like that's wild. Well, ain't no chicks tape coming out anytime?
Speaker 1:soon. Tony, you want to speak on this. What do you feel? Talk about it.
Speaker 4:I pretty much agree with the, with the verdict. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Your ass is not supposed to be doing that. Yeah, man, I don't know, I don't know I don't know, your ass is not supposed to be doing that I mean, yeah, it's a great, I'm counseled all the money.
Speaker 1:But nah, bro, you're not supposed to be doing that shit.
Speaker 4:You know what I mean Having a weapon, women. You know Celebrity LA yeah.
Speaker 1:He was feeling pretty mighty. I mean like you don't play with guns If we go back like two to three years, right, and I'm tired of the whole political correct bullshit and stuff.
Speaker 3:I mean I don't need to actually say what y'all feel, what political.
Speaker 1:What do you think about it? Like okay. So You're saying, okay, obviously you don't play with guns and whatnot or whatever, but we're about to start talking about the Montgomery ball and brawl and y'all gonna be sitting here and talking about.
Speaker 2:That's chairs, man, and they're gunners. Okay, but when?
Speaker 1:I'm saying it, but that's still violence nonetheless. That's fighting back, bro. That's fighting back. Yeah, it's fighting back for sure.
Speaker 2:He said dance bitch, dance to her. There's probably videos for that too. That's Wow.
Speaker 5:People can make comments on what happened because they have something to talk about.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I'm not Listen. Violence is bad.
Speaker 1:Hold on, hold on. Elaborate a little bit more.
Speaker 2:We're talking about the.
Speaker 5:Alabama thing. There's a video there for people to speak on. Yeah, that took place where it was with the May, the stallion and Tory Lane saying we don't have anything but two stories, and they're gonna be some people who are gonna lean towards their bias and there may be some people who choose to stay out of it, and that's why I hate this whole case.
Speaker 1:It's been a waste of like two and a half years of, he said. She said all of this like we have no idea what happened.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, we have enough evidence to convict and sentence him. Though that's my point. We have to suffer with the charges, which were Uh, I don't got the bitch on top of it was possession of another vehicle, of weapon and discharging it.
Speaker 1:Discharging, yeah, so of course he's gonna be to daily. It's like, yeah, like it doesn't take a rocket scientist, you either did. Somebody shot the gun. We just need enough evidence to be able to prove and substantiate that it was you, because you sure it's your weapon?
Speaker 2:Why would she have the weapon Right?
Speaker 1:and then, like she went ahead and did that, uh, that whole confession that was eventually thrown out of the court and so that just disrupted and got rid of any chance that he had to be acquitted and to not and to be free of Of the charge. So you know, but oh well, you should have you should have been smart.
Speaker 1:I do agree with you, do you know, as far as like this nigga should have been smarter. But like this nigga at the time was feeling like on top of the world. He was fucking all kinds of women. I think he was.
Speaker 2:Fucking.
Speaker 1:Megan, her friend.
Speaker 2:No, we do know that well that, how do we know? How do we know that? But we don't know that he shot this, this woman, in the foot.
Speaker 1:We assume now because nobody, nobody's owning up and festing to it.
Speaker 2:But he's out here saying that I'm, I'm fucked up on her and her and they both confirmed that but so no, but this forensic evidence that he shot her in the foot, though. Okay, that's the difference.
Speaker 1:Well, you clearly have been following the case. Anything?
Speaker 2:else you wanted to make a comment on about this.
Speaker 4:No, I think that's it. I'm tired of hearing about this shit to two years later. You know what I'm saying. He says she say lies, taking back the state, like that. You'll see, you know I'm saying, man, this shit, oh, you got it, you know now nigga it's bad, my boy. Yeah okay, so we good. I love you, tory. Actually you know I like your music, yeah, so, but you got a lady in it, you made it regular.
Speaker 1:All right, moving on to the Montgomery bra.
Speaker 2:We did. Did you have thoughts on that All? Right so I don't hear off he thoughts on.
Speaker 5:I mean I always took the stance of because I wasn't there, I just kind of stay out of it. I went to the story play out and so once the story play out was kind of the same thing, like I Didn't follow it detail to detail, but they must have found something enough to Convict to convince in his home. Yeah, you know and I'm not a judge I can't really say whether it was long enough or not. I feel you, yeah, that's tough, but he didn't get to 13, so he won a little bit.
Speaker 2:He up while he down, like it's all good. Yeah, put that in the jail immediately.
Speaker 1:All right, three white men and a pontoon boat charged in Montgomery, bra black man with chair sought for questioning.
Speaker 1:All right, not gonna rest him. That's the. That's the latest on this. So for for those who have been living under a rock or it don't have social media, but listen to the podcast will give you the quick notes for this. So in Montgomery, alabama, on a river dock, pretty popular kind of like I think about chemo, or like a boardwalk, very popular with restaurants and boats on the dock, there was a pontoon boat and you know if you need a description of that or it was black it up whatever, but it's like a boat that fits like anywhere from seven to thirteen people, with about five white males were docked on.
Speaker 1:We're at a dock and apparently in a parking spot for one of the the boats that were coming in a right, and so a black security guard went to go over and asked them to move their boat.
Speaker 1:They refused, and so he started trying to eventually move the boat himself, which I don't know why he would know, he did movie yeah, okay, and then, and then the white guys got off the boat and then they charged him up and they started attacking him and as the other broke the boat that he was trying to move their boat out of four to make way for this incoming boat full of black people. We're recording this live and as they were watching, one man jumped out of the boat, swam over to the dock to help aid the security guard and then, as the boat Full of other angry black people, doc, all of them got off the boat and charged up all the all the white men.
Speaker 1:And then at the back of that all hell broke loose and it turned into a huge, beautiful Brawl because and that's hence why I'm wearing my black Panther shirt to try to represent. We got all black. Oh, absolutely all black, because this was the first time we've came together in a very long time and solidarity for a common cause and just have been. It's been pent up anger and frustration towards Towards, the man.
Speaker 2:Well, I just think it's, it's in, it's a like acute opposition to Anything, that like we're not standing for certain things anymore, like we, we subsist in different spaces. And it's funny because historically both heard and then read that that area, like that riverfront that they were on, was previously, like back in the slave trade, a Auction block for slaves, and so they had like depots, what he used to house slaves at that property right and so house and by, like you did, yeah.
Speaker 1:Fuck them, niggas.
Speaker 2:Hey man.
Speaker 5:Man.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, I'm not playing he loves town. Oh, is it town? Was it called town cookies town? Push these nicks off me.
Speaker 1:Look, man, hey, it's been a long time coming. I'm glad that white people finally got they asked with by us for okay, for an occasion I got a plenty all of our white, white listeners. Y'all know what I'm talking about. Hey, y'all take this out. But if we know that y'all about to come full-fledged, it's coming, we're gonna get our ass Del with oh, you don't think so I know not. Okay, all right, let me let me this, this means the fact.
Speaker 2:Okay, so this. Let me just, I guess, clarify on what I'm saying, what I'm seeing now and the reason this is so people like I heard some shit on thing.
Speaker 3:Why are we celebrating violence?
Speaker 2:Oh, like one, and Marlon corrected himself, he wasn't agreeing with you know. But, bro, we, we live in like okay, I'll paint a picture for you real quick, and I've told this story before in the pot the space that we, we as in General, that's been a generational shift in how black people like exist in this world today. Of course there's still gonna be oppressive forces, like you know. I there, I hate, I hate to say it to the end of time, at least until much. You know, I pray my children will see something better, but they won't see what you know it should be. But, bro, what's so crazy is what they did was not I'm not celebrating the violence, I'm celebrating the fact that they pushed back on the bullshit in that situation. Right, you're right, it's not. This is a novel. I mean it is, but it's not novel.
Speaker 1:It's been a series of bullshit that has happened. We've been killed, brutalized that way, though.
Speaker 2:Uh, it don't usually in that way. Did you see all the law enforcement? Damn your auto law enforcement.
Speaker 4:We're arresting was a black. We hunt.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah yeah, it was locking their ass and and right. Black officers, men and women, arresting white men. And yeah, yeah, and then, and then we, some of us Crocs mother would jump back in the water to us there wrap. But it was amazing, yeah, it was like.
Speaker 1:So some of the notable is the security guard. When he first got punched in the face, the very first blow, he took his security head off and toss it and tossed it up in the air.
Speaker 1:Now, uh, yeah, now, from the very first time that I saw this, I thought that that was a signal, basically saying like, well, fuck this job because I'm about to start fighting. And but apparently it has been converted to basically being the, the, the signal To a symbol all black women, women, kings and queens, or, uh, niggas, is what you had previously referred to, right?
Speaker 3:as black kings and queens.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, niggas, but um, but yeah, and then. So that was the first thing to happen. Then you know aqua main for swimming over to From the boat and that swampy ass margomere water, because you know that that's money.
Speaker 2:But then I gotta get a little man props. I'm saying a little me. He probably by myself. That fool was stealing him props because he was, he was whooping ass like. Terrence croft like this Um go, little nigga go.
Speaker 5:Never want to fight a nigga that's willing to fight with his dick. Yeah he got that water, didn't even care about it. Short.
Speaker 2:Didn't give a damn whoops, I got out, take a shirt.
Speaker 1:Fam. He threw like eight blows and Bro yeah it was insane. And then um and then what else had happened? Uh, shortly after that. Oh and then, what old school? Uh, all the, yeah, all the old school bros like 50, 57 and up.
Speaker 4:Where I started brawling and whooping whooping ass too.
Speaker 1:And then they, ladies, was getting involved and whooping them, white bitches, as like the pollies and the becky's throwing them they're with them in the water and shit.
Speaker 2:And then there was one man, I didn't like when he cracked, he just grabbed.
Speaker 1:The plastic chair was apparently was invented by a black man, by the way. Um, yeah, yeah, yeah, the folding uh plastic chair. Uh, he grabbed that. I don't know where he got it from, but I. He grabbed it and he started swinging on niggas like, and then uh he saw there was already a Helpless white woman that was already sitting on the floor looking as pale and as red as a cherry on top and he just bopped her ass at that.
Speaker 2:At that point they wasn't letting him get his shit off the police officers that is yeah, because they the old boy, like he was cracking in the dome he was, he was, that's a rest. He had like three white guys.
Speaker 1:And then he saw her and it walked over and then bopped her ass in the head real hard. He should, that was. And then that's when, uh, the officers are like, okay, nigga, we try to let you make it, but no, and apparently he got cut loose because now he looking for questions so they can went home.
Speaker 2:Oh, really, clearly they're looking for him for questioning so they can bop, turn their heads and go home. That's terrible, I don't celebrate that, but I do. They. They have the chair earrings, they have chair t-shirts someone had. This is playing in the background the Ha, the, the, the alabama sweet tea party alabama, sweet, hey, uh.
Speaker 1:And then apparently it happened august 6, which is you know, uh. If you remember, the uh, the uh Insurrection was january 6. Yeah, this is august 6. So now we got a holiday to a new holiday that's on the black calendar. So come on yeah ladies and gentlemen, that part it was, uh, it was a beautiful sight, not because of the violence, just because black folk up simple to six thousand points, because we whipped some Some white ass.
Speaker 2:No, no, it's not about that.
Speaker 1:On this six pushing back.
Speaker 2:We ain't taking a shit, no, more.
Speaker 1:Do you think that the?
Speaker 2:okay, I show up to zoom calls with corporate entities now and dashikis in my locks down in my face On purpose, just to see what they say have they uh. Like has the energy? Has the energy been different?
Speaker 1:peaceful defiance has the energy been different for any of y'all, like I've been with this shit, that have been working with like a lot of Uh, white people in in the corporate space?
Speaker 2:I just want to fight white people though.
Speaker 5:Yeah, no, Rafi, no like most of white people I work with, don't even be tapping ain't shit, ain't shit changed.
Speaker 1:Huh, they probably didn't even know what that had happened.
Speaker 5:They were about the newest chip that's coming out.
Speaker 1:But we do have to like the newest chip for apple.
Speaker 5:Yeah, they're all tech guys.
Speaker 2:So, yeah okay, the m3 is gonna drop next month. You watch?
Speaker 1:the. The last thing I wanted to ask y'all, because I had made the comment earlier about like I'm a little nervous because I feel like that they're gonna, you know, retaliate. In some way shape or form or whatever, uh, uh. But on the other side, do you think? Do you think that this Sets a precedence, like, okay, we can't be fucking.
Speaker 2:Not in a small town with them anymore.
Speaker 1:You got it, he got it right but he's got it wrong like from their perspective. They're like okay, we need to start taking black people more seriously, and this is what they've been fearing this whole entire time. Is us unifying and us like utilizing our oh so?
Speaker 2:can I ask you a question by going there first? Sure, so that's, that's the thing I want to come of this, like I don't fear retaliation and I'm you know I don't get to, but like I don't, I don't, I don't Wish for it, but like if I did, that would not be Anything, I'll be against do you feel that the that you don't fear it now be uh, even more because this has happened on camera.
Speaker 2:Multiple angles and shit. I've been on this, bro, like, yeah, yeah, pandemic. When I was in the house watching, like I've been on this so to see it was like, oh great, it was like a cathartic release. You know what I'm saying, watching them beat their ass. But I will say, it's not even again, it's not celebrating the violence of it. What I do celebrate and what I hope comes of this is, bro, it is such a beautiful thing when you are experiencing, um, like you said earlier, solidarity. Yeah, like everybody. There's like, uh, there's, uh, there's this, but it sucks because it usually is over some sort of violence or some sort of like oppressive force. We all came together, george Floyd, come together for trade. We come together when it's some terrible shit. But this, that's what I'm saying, that's what was so novel about this. This ain't how this should usually go. They, they went to jail. Wait, they started some shit and we beat they ass and we won, and they go to jail for real. This shit don't happen like that, bro, right that police.
Speaker 1:That was a huge one for majority black. I'm like what kind of it was a black mirror episode. It was a weekend full of just like violence. It was that uh.
Speaker 2:Not that new yorkshire was stupid.
Speaker 1:MLB fight. Oh, thanks for that, which was just kind of like a little quick one. Two and Tim menison from chicago. Uh, white socks went down, but uh, and then you know, kaiz, uh, senat, senat. Yeah, yeah uh, number one streamer in the world. Uh, from from twitch Incited?
Speaker 3:apparently allegedly not allegedly, but he Incited a riot and stuff at the union square.
Speaker 1:Look it up on your own time and then um, and then that was about it All right, so let's get into, uh, the highlight topic, shall we?
Speaker 4:All right.
Speaker 1:All right, I Hope that you didn't uh study the agenda too much, dino, and I'm glad that you all are here too, by the way, because I have a myriad of topics and I don't think I'm gonna necessarily gonna go down the list or whatever, because I think they're so Foodful and so uh stimulating uh as far as conversation and, uh, dialogue and potential debate.
Speaker 1:Um, my first thing, the first thing that I wanted to get off, um, I saw something online, uh, of an artist and I believe she's an artist, but uh, she was on a show and they had asked her about her thoughts on sharing her personal finances with With her friends and uh, I looked at the comments after uh, she probably she, you know, she gave her uh.
Speaker 2:Actually you know, let me go ahead and just, we gotta watch, we gotta watch, you know, we gotta watch. Yeah, I dig the problem.
Speaker 1:Well, uh, essentially, in summary, she's believed that, uh, she, it's not okay to share finances. Or she personally doesn't share finances with her people and her friends because she feels like that that changes things.
Speaker 2:Do you know her?
Speaker 1:age? Uh, I think she's in her 20s, like late 20s. Uh yeah, it's the artist Um Jordan Woods.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, so, um, but anyways, uh, and so that kind of prompted me, I sent it to, uh, myrietta, my friends and I wanted to know their opinions. And uh, you know, my, my closest circle, they, you know, kind of gave something a little bit along the sign, the the same lines of like Don't, they don't have any problem with discussing finances, but they don't necessarily disclose their personal finances. And so I wanted to ask you, dino and the and the rest of the partners in the studio, um, what are your thoughts on sharing and discussing your finances?
Speaker 2:with friends. Good question Um, I would say I'm more. I think my answer is different now than it may have been a few years ago.
Speaker 1:Do you feel comfortable disclosing, like how much you have in the bank, or Like how how much would you disclose like what tier, what level? Like from Very far left, being like you tell them how much you actually have in your account or all your accounts or whatever, but just at a minimum one to the very far right, like as far as this discretion. Like you guys are saying like like like like you won't even let them know what you, what you bought today. So, on that scale and that spectrum, how, where do you lie?
Speaker 2:It's it anyone anywhere ever should disclose how much they have liquid or in equity or in savings or in escrow. I don't think anybody should ever just be out here. Just I just Given up, they pop just empty in a pocket. So I don't think anybody should ever do that. So why is that though? Do you think that that's a black thing like no, no, no, no, I mean that's just in life, like we shouldn't go out here also and just Say our social security number, for fine, okay that's extreme.
Speaker 2:I make it well, no, but like that's, that's as extreme as me. Yes, and one of my checkings I got about 25, that alright, but then I mean 2,500. The other one I got by 16. That like that's to me that's like a lot to just empty out.
Speaker 1:Why, though? Because that that's my frustration with it, with this question. Every time I ask it, nobody ever gives the true reason as to why they won't disclose you so you feel like you're gonna get robbed, or do you feel like insecure or subconscious, like or self-conscious or whatever, but that they now know and I have leverage over you because they know how much money you make or how much money you have in the bank, and now they're gonna judge you.
Speaker 2:No, I dig it. That's a lot of good reasons that are like you know. What do you believe is the reason? No, here's the thing. I'm gonna answer this question with a question.
Speaker 4:Don't know, follow me. No, no, follow me Follow me, follow me.
Speaker 2:What's the reason for knowing that? Like what, what? What benefit is there? And you know? Because it might be all my accounts run down from top to bottom all the money I have in the custodial accounts my children have, like what is the good in knowing? And you and my phone, okay, yeah, yeah, I got you.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna answer your question first only because I'm amazing and I and I'm not gonna deflect. No, you know my question. You still need to answer the nigga, but.
Speaker 2:This is the answer right here you finish, give it to me before.
Speaker 1:Like I'm more so on your side now, as far as like not wanting to disclose and be in and be more discreet with the finances, but before, just two days ago, before two days ago.
Speaker 2:I was in the O pocket.
Speaker 1:I was comfortable no, I just was comfortable with disclosing and letting my close friends, my circle, know how much I made that's different.
Speaker 1:I was wait, wait oh no, let me finish that's how I let them know how much I make and then letting them know, like, how much I have in stocks, and then, lastly, like letting them know how much like I have, at least, in my savings. Like I don't let them know, like how much I have in my, in my check-in right now, but like I felt like that it was. It is twofold one, because I felt like that that would be either motivation for them to to do right, if they felt like that they weren't there all the way or it was gonna be motivation for me, and, and, and, to help build my self-esteem and myself and my confidence for me and my household.
Speaker 2:They say to do better little bro, yeah then then.
Speaker 1:Then I would kind of I Don't know it might hurt my pride. It's never happened to me before, but if it would have I would imagine it would either hurt my pride or make me kind of Feel some like little insecure, and then I would start thinking about you again.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It just what it's like starting a new job. It's like when you started a new job in a new company. You're at the bottom of the totem pole. You don't, you have no idea what's going on. You have so much you have to learn. It's very overwhelming. Everybody's putting all this pressure in books and pamphlets and policies, doctrine that you had to read in like a short span of time and then you had a Performing execute that you feel insecure every single day, until one day it happens, like at the six months here and then you are running the show and you, you killed the presentations your first you know I'm saying so, you know that whole tier three, six, nine month and then, at the year mark, you basically got the shit down.
Speaker 2:I'll break slugger.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, come on, but. I correlated to that right. As far as, like, I Would share that and if I, if, depending on how they responded, if they said that they got big bank in, and my shit is actually not like that at all then that would be motivation for me and insecure and In jealousy, if you will, um, this was who?
Speaker 1:and a motivation point to make me want to do better or to find other avenues. And Because us, as black folk and just growing up, we we use ourselves as measurements of success. We do we mean by that like we use like okay.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah yeah, no disagree.
Speaker 5:Okay so you Okay so I ask because I feel like if some, let's say I did was very transparent and someone said that they were also transparent with me, yeah, I mean, if they had more. I wouldn't feel jealous or anything, especially if it's somebody that's my friend.
Speaker 2:If anything, it's like okay, this is how we can begin.
Speaker 5:This is what I can begin until your question. Initially, as far as transparency with finances, it's a double-edged sword, like I heard something recently where it's important for us, as black people, to be transparent with at least how we're making money, how much money we're making, so that we know what's available, yeah, what's what's actually possible inside this?
Speaker 2:not down the gatekeepers.
Speaker 5:You know they're not too many people who are data scientists like myself. Yeah, they're making six figures, and so when I started. He started right now, no, but so Important people to know that, so that people know what's available.
Speaker 1:But I Hold on, dino, what's your turn?
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 5:The important parts for people to know what a data scientist is.
Speaker 2:But you know.
Speaker 1:I know, I have an idea of. Yeah, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 5:Well, you know that, you know, like the, the minimum and maximum cap of Right, but okay, so three, okay I'll be sure those types of things, because I kind of stumbled into data science and so now I know that people are looking for Different ways to make money and, as somebody who has got money other ways, I'm always trying to figure out ways to share that information. To be like yo, there are other ways for us to make money.
Speaker 1:I started being a doctor or a lawyer when it counts.
Speaker 5:See, that's why you don't touch the board because as we're getting older, there are a lot of friends who we all had this vision of where we would be at the time, and so when they think that you're still there and you start talking to them about where you are now, you start learning quickly that not everybody was moving in the same way you were, and that can cause some risk, some friction and some.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's impossible, friendship changes. But I want to kind of go back on two points. So Dino gave you a ding when you said yeah, hey, hey, sam, can you check on that and see what was was burning in my kitchen. Okay yeah, oh, it's a glue gun. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean he knows you can.
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, my wife is a teacher and she's using a hot glue gun to you know get things ready for.
Speaker 5:School tomorrow.
Speaker 1:So two things. So he gave you a ding when you had made a comment about, about disclosing, like your occupation and like, I believe, either how much money you make you. You said something, but you gave a ding which it was contradictory to.
Speaker 2:No, what huh? I didn't finish my point.
Speaker 1:Well, because you asked, ask, you asked my question with a question, correct, and then the second thing is when you said god damn it.
Speaker 2:It left me but I got you. I'm gonna pick it back up so it wasn't contradictory what it was. I answered your question with a question, my. I was curious why it was so important to know all the you know, mnuchin granularity of this person's financial situation. Was more, I think, impactful is the context, and so that's why I asked the question like what, why does that matter so much? If you go a bit, oh, the measurements of success.
Speaker 1:Sorry that that was the other point you step back a bit.
Speaker 2:I agree with what he did. I think it's good to get past the gatekeepers. And that's the question I was gonna ask him, but you know you're right to slow me down. I Was gonna ask when you were, let's say, I don't know, maybe middle or high school, did you even know that the career path that you are currently on Existed? Didn't even know I had never heard of no shit like this. I don't even know that the shit we doing existed back then. So that's what I'm saying exposure is so important. So, yes, 100%, I'm gonna tell you what I do, roughly how much I make, and we both Crossed the six-figure threshold. I think all of us can and should it at this point, but okay, so he had.
Speaker 1:whenever Rafi joined the conversation, he asked me well, how was? I think you asked me too about how do you, how do we use each other as measurements of measurements of success?
Speaker 5:Yeah, I clear why you felt, I Guess, a jealousy. Or if someone were to say that they had more than you, or they were to show you that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, jealousy was just one of like the traits, but it's more so like just what I would mainly feel. If somebody disclosed that they make a lot more money than me, me, any, it would know it'd be motivation, it would be more of. It would be like 65 motivation, 25 insecure, and then 10 and then the rest would be a little bit of jealousy, like because, because, and all three of those I feel like attribute to the measurement of success, because you can call it pocket watching if you will and what not I don't necessarily think there's not there's.
Speaker 1:It's not completely wrong, but, depending on how you utilize pocket watching, use it as a motivation factor or as a as a, as a tier that you're trying to reach and achieve in your particular field of endeavor. So like if, if, if. Rafi is in data science and I've always wanted to be in in tech in some sense.
Speaker 1:Or you always want to make six figures or one that's make six figures, right, I Know, I now know, have an idea of how much he makes, and now I'm going to be asking him, studying him, shadowing him, to figure out how did he get in his position. And of course, I'm not gonna try to Completely mimic that his blueprint and his path, because all of our paths are different, right, but I would use him as as, as as a measurement, as a checkpoint to get to where I want to be and then go from there, and then you utilize somebody else as as the next measurement and I feel like that that's completely okay.
Speaker 2:But it's not important to know what his check in in his 401k and his Roth IRA and his. I don't need to know all of that.
Speaker 1:But I just told y'all like that's what I like, but before two days ago. I would. I would if people asked. I wouldn't necessarily shy away from disclosing all the details, because most of the people that do ask are people that are either younger than me or or a little bit in the amateur stages of their career, and they're looking for advice and they're just like well cannot if you do if you mind.
Speaker 1:If you don't mind, like how much do you make? Or how has your success been in the past? How did you get to this point in life? And it's okay if people would be just like. I can tell you all my path without even disclosing my finances. But I'm just like what the finances is all is Nine times out of ten. The the motivating factor question, though.
Speaker 2:All we do? All we do is put the money. Wow, see that you lost me right away. That's why I try to get in there. How do I lose you? Check it. You said some earlier.
Speaker 2:You talk about the measure of success. I think that's something that would be important API to Contextualize the contextualize for all of us, right, what your measure of success is. I don't even really align with that. So what you're what you're talking about as far as, yeah, I wanted to model myself after that because he has. Whatever his success model was, I want to follow that how. That's not necessarily what I'm on, so the way I measure success now and should I be on, is not even how much money can I make. What it is is how do I create this experience, craft this life, build this dream in A way that is sustainable? And that's all I'm on, and that's gonna require a mixture of spending time, effort, resources. You know, growing, learning, making more money, sure, but not even for the sake of just like paying my bills and like I Want to do more shit. I want to have shit, I want to live a certain life.
Speaker 1:You just put me in a box. I didn't like that. What you like, you like that your measurement of success would have taken the shit up that I'm on or whatever I'm on. I was giving an example. It's not purely money.
Speaker 2:That's all I'm saying is much more yeah but, we talk about success is I'm talking about that the, the, the totality of my, of my worldly well you're veering from the question.
Speaker 1:We're I'm trying to keep us in the in the frame of talking and disclosing Finances with friends and family.
Speaker 2:I talk about it only as necessary to make that happen. But why? Because I don't see any benefit in doing more than that. Well, what if they feel like, if they disclose like, I'm only gonna drink until I feel good, and then I'm not gonna keep drinking, if I, if I ask you if, like, I'm one of your best friends.
Speaker 1:I ask you, like you know, how much do you make, or how much did you make this year? Uh-huh and you asked me why. And I tell you why. And it's justifiable reason that you deemed. Are you gonna disclose it to me? Still, are you?
Speaker 2:know, perhaps, because that would be a different question I work for myself, but I work through my business. So it's like oh, how much did black room make last year? Oh, yeah, I could tell you that, so you would disclose that to me perhaps Okay.
Speaker 1:Okay, so it depends on the tier of friendship or relationship.
Speaker 2:No, it depends on the context. Why are we talking about it? If you just walk up to me, hey, what's good bro? I ain't seeing you man. Hey, bro, how much money you made last year. Oh, back up, I ain't seen you about two years you want to say something.
Speaker 4:Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:It's a lot yeah.
Speaker 3:It's like one. Why would you ask me that? So you need context. Yeah, like if I just walk up, ran to a random nigga and be like hey, how much you make.
Speaker 2:I'm my and then the other thing is like I think, rafi, you know the deal on here.
Speaker 3:Nothing like you said, it couldn't be Leverage built upon you from that, but depending on what it is, they can't build leverage on you against that. And then the other thing is that shit just ain't nobody business all the way. Yeah, but how would they? How do you feel that they were built? Ever so you, if you're not my friend, you can be a leverage on anything.
Speaker 1:How give an example?
Speaker 3:It's just like leverage is like emotional leverage, social leverage, status leverage. Oh, and I got you got something I ain't give you a chance to talk shit about me.
Speaker 1:You ain't none of you be or just closing your business to other people and other Okay it's just let people go back to your site.
Speaker 3:It just goes back to what Dino say, like why?
Speaker 2:It's not, it's not it's not 100% out of about. It's not like it's not. It's not off limits 100%.
Speaker 3:But it's out of bounds.
Speaker 2:I have talked about it. That's what you know. So, okay, that might be what got you blocked up, because we've had these no, no, no, no, no conversations. I'm not locked up.
Speaker 1:I I hear what y'all saying. I just I'm asking y'all for Context and and more, because you said I just need to know why, and then I asked you to give kind of like a Formidable example but and but.
Speaker 2:Listen, yeah, I agree. But to that point too is some shit that I wouldn't raised.
Speaker 1:On that, that shit was wrong, low-key, like we should probably, but I'm asking you to just elaborate on that, because and that's my frustration with a lot of black folks like like they're just been, like I just was always raised and taught that you Shouldn't be disclosing you. You know your finances and letting people know with your pockets. Well, why? I mean? Just because like.
Speaker 1:Like they don't know they don't because they don't need to know. I need to know why, like well, because they're gonna eventually try to rob me one day, or they're gonna take my business and then and disclose my finances to the, to the op, and then they're gonna learn my competition ways.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so what, but I?
Speaker 1:feel like that, that's hiding, I mean, or that's deflecting, like it's not their business.
Speaker 2:Of course, is not their business. Huh, why do you need to notice? That's like if I walk and say a, how big is your, how big is your wife? Titties, what's our brush?
Speaker 1:No, no, that's that's that's not even the same ballpark too much if they okay. I will give you two contrasting. I will give you two contrasting answers on on the right side. I want to know because, because I'm looking to get into the field and I need a measure, a measurement of, like, how much to make when I'm negotiating the very first time on the Thank you yeah.
Speaker 5:I'm on the left and on a con. Nobody's getting like Undersold, so like yeah that was important to me in my last role. I was doing a lot of data analysis and then a Good friend of mine, she was on a podcast herself and she started talking about the work that she did. And she was saying everything that I do, yeah. She talked about her salary and I'm like yo, she's getting paid 30, 40 K more, yeah and that gave you information and now you know Bingo.
Speaker 5:Come on that told me that it's important for us to be transparent with how much we make.
Speaker 2:Ding, ding, and that's dang. No, no, so now you sided with that. Oh, run, run the tape back.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, because you need context. I got you. I got you. Okay, all right, yeah, no so.
Speaker 2:I've seen that. I've seen that work to our advantage. Jen negotiated her salary. It was. It was hilarious it was beautiful.
Speaker 2:It was this whole thing that affected family generation. My mama was like no, don't you regress into like you know, I don't know, she's in Django something they gonna take back that offer. Don't you go around there rustling them feathers? Yeah and no, she negotiated salary and she landed in a really good spot and it was this. Really it's funny because it was kind of like a Honestly scary thing, but there was a lot of apprehension around doing it. How far do you push? What do you counter with love you for? But it's like no, that's the norm. That's the norm for some people.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, you have to do it All. Right, buddy, that's my LB one time. So that was the producer of our intro. So, by the way, shout him out First time in the studio you, we got a normalized that type of stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like we should definitely normalize that. That shouldn't be like. But as with everything, you discernment, because again this is it's and, bro, let's not like it's not, as mass cam was out here bro.
Speaker 1:So on the contrary right, the second answer, the far, far left, is like I love you, tj. On the contrary, if I'm an op, I want to know because I'm going to take that like, say, if you work for Apple, I'm going to take that knowledge and take your information and then go and try to sell it to Google. Or or I'm going to go and join Google and then try to eventually come up, take your role in in the opposition, competition and then I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:All right, well, anyways, I basically would take your find, take the knowledge of how much you make, and then either try to scam you, rob you, or or take advantage of you and spend, spend, spread your business In the streets and the people that you know and love, and it'd be like, oh, do you know? Like think he big and bold, whatever? Because email we hit make a hundred sixty thousand dollars a year. So I'm just getting you asked for why the context, why I remember when I was saying, like I'll get.
Speaker 1:I'll give you two contrast answers, the first one being like I, I'm looking at getting to your field, this other answer is like oh, you're saying like this or that which which Supports your initial answer as to I don't disclose my finances because of just anybody, because I need to know the context of Million bad reasons yeah and I was kind of like to G's point to.
Speaker 3:He just goes back to Dino. How started off like First. I need to know why you asking yeah. Give me that if you can't answer, why you asking me this in Ralphie situation or Dino situation? I'm asking because I want to be a data scientist. Yeah, I'm asking because I want to own my own company and see how that shit works. Yeah enough for you to the actual disclosure it depends.
Speaker 2:Further the conversation. At least there might be a follow-up question you can ask. That can help you, which in turn you talking discernment to know. Okay, I shouldn't continue this conversation with this nigga. He just trying to find a way, it's like.
Speaker 3:But you know I'm asking this nigga about data science is his money. I am nowhere near data science.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I work at.
Speaker 3:Kroger yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you don't have any any interest in getting into. You have no interest in data science.
Speaker 3:You have no interest in sick, but you have.
Speaker 5:It might be somebody from Kroger.
Speaker 3:Take some discernment.
Speaker 2:I mean insert whatever you know here.
Speaker 1:That wants to know how much you make run your pockets when they from.
Speaker 2:Like with the, you know how old they are, cuz he's young. Things ain't got no code bro.
Speaker 1:Great conversation, fuck I. I guess we'll save somebody's point. No, I think we have about seven minutes left. Um, you want to get into one more? Y'all just want to go straight to the toast.
Speaker 2:It's like what you got. Rub me one more.
Speaker 1:Okay, um quick fire. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, do you still get mad, or do you? Would you? Sorry, do you still get to be salty if someone you invited to your wedding doesn't show?
Speaker 1:that's too long still sends you a gift. Let me, let me ask it again Do you still I'm gonna get to be salty if someone you invited to your wedding so, rafi, it's your wedding, you invite, you invite me to To it, you expect me to be there, but then I don't show up and I send you a gift instead? You appreciate the gift, clearly, right, but do you still kind of feel, since I've weighed that I didn't show up.
Speaker 5:You're telling you, right? Did I show up without telling you, or just?
Speaker 1:no, no, no, no. It's your wedding and you invite me.
Speaker 5:I don't come but the heads up. Hey, I can't make it.
Speaker 1:Let's say happen, okay, yeah, I get you. Um, let's say that I don't tell you until after you.
Speaker 5:You can't make it. That's kind of yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Yeah, you're wedding already passed and I didn't tell you that I wasn't gonna be there, but I sent you a gift in retro act, retro act.
Speaker 5:I'm gonna speak for myself. You know, I don't. I don't try to make my friends prove themselves to be my friends over and over again. So if you tell me that you couldn't make it, you sense a gift, I'll take the gift beautiful, but I tell you, after like the way if it's an emergency or for whatever reason, and I'm somebody that knows Like I speak with my boy, greg. Sometimes I reach out to him. He won't respond, but I know my friend when he's not responding.
Speaker 2:I know he might be some sick going on. Yeah, I.
Speaker 5:Assume that with a lot of people like so. If my friends stop talking to me, I assume that something might be going on and or if they can't make something. I don't think that.
Speaker 1:So you always give them the benefit of the doubt. My mom raised me that way.
Speaker 5:Good job, bro when anybody, even somebody, does something I know is intentionally wrong. It's like yeah. Maybe they didn't know better, or maybe they came from an environment where this is cool, so I just got to be the person that's righteous.
Speaker 2:You know, I do know righteous man, you know hey, I'd like, yeah, that I like to say that I'm that way all the time, but I'm not Real quick, like because we have fun in the love quick.
Speaker 5:I.
Speaker 1:Do you still get to be salty if you, if someone, someone you invite to your wedding, doesn't show? But they send you a gift and they Let you know that they don't tell you that they not come in. They until afterwards, after the wedding has already happened. But they sent you a give like hey, so I couldn't make it but I sent you $200 in.
Speaker 2:I mean I'm good with that. Okay, Do you want to know?
Speaker 1:give car to go towards that you go with that.
Speaker 2:I'm assuming the best to, but it depends on what role you are Like. If you are groomsmen and you just don't show up.
Speaker 1:No, no, no. It's not a girl's man. It's not a girl's man, but it's, but it's the best friend like, okay, it's a best friend.
Speaker 2:So I've lived certain circumstances like this and what wound up happening is for every empty seat I had, somehow Nigerian showed up. I realize culturally, like I crashed so many Nigerian way to like who we going to and we turn up and it's beautiful and this we did till fucking four. Five am Eating chin, chin and more and more and all this other shit.
Speaker 5:Yeah, drinking, that's what that's.
Speaker 2:Do you want to leave? So I like what they. It's crazy, yeah, baby, that's. They party like no other. Yeah, it's different, but no, it was a beautiful thing because people showed up in their seats and I see he made a good point. If my money had gone away so I might have felt a little bit like if just half my family show up the blue because we had no good money, that's extreme, like it's a notable.
Speaker 1:I mean, well, you're, you're branching out the Question, but but if it was a notable friend, you wouldn't say Okay, so more like a family, Just you know. But like if he's here like a great auntie.
Speaker 2:Okay, I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be mad or salty, necessarily Disappointed, bobby, mad, disappointed, and I mean the only thing I'd be salty about probably is the duckest. They just went down a drain, if I was in a but well, because they went to good use.
Speaker 1:So I experienced both sides of this right like I had one of my family members Not show up to my wedding and didn't tell you in advance didn't tell you. Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, I'll say it off the.
Speaker 1:I'm just trying to paint the picture without um, it didn't necessarily bother me, but I did like in retrospect, like started thinking like dang man, like like you could easily been there, but you made a choice not to be there. It's not like he couldn't make it, he just made a choice not to be there, and he was. He held a particular position in the wedding too Prior to that and so, but I didn't hold it against them, I was just like, okay, all right, cool, well, it was just a particular season. But then it just recently happened to where I didn't show up to somebody's wedding, and Mainly because I didn't feel some type of way about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll be from the no no, no, no, well, it just, it just happened this past weekend, so I don't know if he feels some type of way about it right now, but I sent him some bread and, to be honest, like we RSVP to I I, to be honest, I don't think that we RSVP I, and I think that's why. Well, I didn't know. Okay, so it sounds friend, but me and him grew really close together at this point.
Speaker 2:You know who you are if you're listening. Yeah, yeah, exactly at this point.
Speaker 1:But what's important is that the listeners don't know, but yeah, yeah, he's. He definitely is to the pot, he's gonna know exactly what I'm talking about, but hey, man, you know, if you're listening, I love you and you know I wanted to be there but we didn't.
Speaker 1:But I'm not gonna lie, bro, like there's always weddings that you just don't want to go to right or you just don't Know, not sure as what other people, but but at the same time, I just kind of since we're on the topic of weddings, yeah, I just wanted to also ask like yeah, what are you doing that light where you don't want to go to a wedding?
Speaker 5:I just let him know ahead of time what you don't.
Speaker 2:RSVP. I can't make it.
Speaker 1:You don't RSVP. Oh, what if you RSVP? But then like well, you shouldn't actually know you should.
Speaker 2:You should RSVP and just say I, you cannot attend RSVP. Yeah, you can say no, at the worst say maybe you know, then Just say maybe, if you, if you don't know for sure, because to me maybe is a no, it's a, it's a polite no, it's an indecisive, conditional, yeah, I'm not gonna lie like.
Speaker 1:RSVP and then and you've been at one wedding. You just been in them all right nowadays because, like Well, yeah, you're yours was special because it happened over a decade ago or whatever like in. Ours was special to but Um, I just feel like that there's gonna be certain people that have extravagant weddings and there's weddings that are just like, oh, this is gonna be such a fucking drag, right, yeah, for me to attend but these ain't your friends, though, and some of them are my friends like I'm not getting invited to weddings unless that like.
Speaker 1:But it's just one of those things where you feel like you've spread yourself way too thin you know what I mean and you're just like, highly like today many way.
Speaker 5:You know why you get my two types of waiting cuz you too much of a social butterfly.
Speaker 1:Exactly. Yeah, you're right, exactly you. The entertainment right.
Speaker 5:So around 2015 to 17.
Speaker 1:Well, let me, let me expound right so. I'll use my friends wedding as an example as an example, but it's not true. But let's just, it was in a different city.
Speaker 2:I have dogs, I have a turtle.
Speaker 1:I have a baby and I didn't know that it was this upcoming weekend until Not this upcoming weekend, but it already passed. But, like at the time, I was like Sam, what is that wedding happening again, like in two weeks, right? Yeah, no, it's this week actually and I forgot to RCP.
Speaker 2:Oh, so you did not RCP? No, we didn't.
Speaker 1:It's but, but, but, but. We were gonna be sitting a separate time, but what I'm saying is like I like he probably felt some type of way about that too, about us not. I'm not sure, I know. You know I'm trying to be, but that's.
Speaker 3:Guarantee you if you didn't RSVP and you never told him you were coming he did not.
Speaker 2:He not worry about this shit. In fact, he never thought he's probably. Like he's probably.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's like that's my chance. I'm not saying you doing it.
Speaker 2:I'm not jerry and saying you're like.
Speaker 1:I a hundred percent get what you're saying and I really hope that that is the case and I wasn't trying to do. I think there's a lot of my yeah. That's not cool but I just um.
Speaker 2:I didn't know you're in RCP. Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1:RSVP and then yeah, but I just always feel like that, like I just always try to put myself in other people's shoes and I'm like damn, like I Probably would feel some type of way just putting myself in their shoes and knowing how high of regard people hold me. I'm like many probably feels inside and I know that that's like me. I'm the main, I'm the hero in my story every time. Yeah, yeah to this and that's what I'm hoping to G.
Speaker 2:He was like oh shit, great, he may be, maybe a hot guy. Be honest, some people who didn't come, I ain't think about it, wait a minute. Yeah, so I was here. Where were they sitting? Oh, so you, I remember, I remember your wedding. You felt some way about some people not coming to your wedding, not true, this is maybe whatever you fucking happen.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yes yes, that's the context. He was mad people not coming.
Speaker 2:Okay, so that I'm finna give it to you. There was none of my money. Listen, y'all must understand I'm not like this, ain't no joke, my nigga. For every empty seat there was either a Nigerian or somebody from my South Park or the Bricks of somewhere.
Speaker 1:There was a nigga in every seat all Went to went fed a mouth, you know went to a.
Speaker 2:No, I'm telling you like, but it wasn't a bad thing, I was happy. Now there was some people showed up who I fully Expected to see there, who their presence was a disappointment, oh damn.
Speaker 1:I know they wouldn't come down with why they couldn't come down. It sucks.
Speaker 2:Well, I think about them. Niggas no more. The rest of the night, In fact, I was like wait, where were they sitting?
Speaker 5:Oh, they were sitting in so-and-so seat bad.
Speaker 2:Bad, ever had a great time there was there somebody we have like a wedding book with all of the beautiful photographs and there's this nigga in the book. I have no clue, this nigga.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I remember no. I'm out and everything and he is all of it Like drinking his hand and everything he looks so happy, I'm like, damn, that's dope.
Speaker 2:But he had that. He looks so jovial and for that to have been at my event, I was like, yeah, I don't know that niggas, I have no.
Speaker 3:Somewhere. This pissed off if he don't.
Speaker 2:You know he's gonna fill away.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah, I got it I got invitations to the wedding yeah.
Speaker 5:I know weddings are expensive. So if you can't make it, that's cool.
Speaker 2:I don't want to go, I don't actually want to go to it.
Speaker 1:I don't want to. I want to go to y'all. I'm gonna go, I mean, but like that's different, because I see y'all like Occasionally, y'all are my best friends.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I take cheerio but okay, so I Back to the the point earlier. Right, like I didn't RSVP, right, but like I'm not trying to make myself the main character. But, I think some people not him in particular, but I think some people that I'm not, that aren't my best friends. Okay, I'm their best friend.
Speaker 3:Who told you this?
Speaker 1:I told you that, hey, fuck y'all. I, on that note, we'll go ahead and close up, we're going. I am bro. You ain't never had a friend like me. If I wasn't, there didn't happen Wow mate, it did happen, and I was the main character syndrome. No, no, no, no, but this is all.
Speaker 2:This is all for this is all for the pot, by the way.
Speaker 3:This is all for content, content.
Speaker 1:Come on, man, but not but. But on the real, I was happy For them from a distance and I was happy to save so much money as well. Yeah, yeah, it was. It was out of town. I would have to find somewhere to stay and stuff like where was it?
Speaker 4:No, it was yeah it was in Dallas four-hour drive.
Speaker 5:What would have to stay?
Speaker 1:I'm my sister's and if not my sister's, then probably I have one of you know, get a hotel, because I don't like inconvenience. And other people either like it's one thing. We just like, hey, man, you can still come stay with us, whatever, you got a whole extra room and stuff, but like and and this is this will kind of close out the pod, whatever, and y'all can provide comments too, because it's like a kind of ties into another question. I don't like being a burden or or inconvenience or disruption to other people.
Speaker 1:So, for example, like being in an airplane and I got the crime baby. Oh, that makes me feel uncomfortable. Are we in a concert or a movie or stuff, and it's like Well, we Because if I'm in their position. I would feel some type of way like I get that fucking baby out of here.
Speaker 2:Like what are you doing? Never mind, huh.
Speaker 1:Never you get. You can't stop a baby from crying by by taking them out of the movie theater or whatever Junction.
Speaker 2:You say airplane. That was your exam on an airplane.
Speaker 1:Well, I don't know, because I I haven't experienced that yet. Kako's been on the airplane one time and and she was, and she was fine, but we prepared she was crying.
Speaker 2:What would you do if?
Speaker 1:she was crying, I would feel very uncomfortable.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I think the reason why you may feel that way is because you know how you would act exactly, exactly like I would If somebody's babies crying, it's a baby.
Speaker 2:That's good.
Speaker 5:You to understand that this is a baby as well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I've been on the plane where it was a four-year-old and being obnoxious and just.
Speaker 3:Don't it, and crying and stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly which deserves a ass with me. If they're a year old, then that's different, but a four-year-old, and we own the and this is early in the flight going to Puerto Rico, they don't apologize. To wrapping.
Speaker 2:Understand what this is. It's even more than you probably realize. It is this generational trauma. Because here's the thing we were. Yes, we had to be. We had to, you know, limit ourselves, quiet ourselves, shrink ourselves for years, like so to hear you say I don't like to be a burden on others, and I mean I feel you, but fuck that like well, take it out of sight of the baby thing.
Speaker 1:Or because I just gave that as an example, like let's use another.
Speaker 2:Is loud and talkative and we go to restaurants and she, I have to remind her all right, you inside voice, baby, please inside voice. But I let her express herself and I could give two.
Speaker 4:Who.
Speaker 5:No I keep that baby. My mom is Nigerian woman. When she, when she whisper. You better let my mom.
Speaker 2:Why is this volume? So I go back to the why. I'm a why? Guy. Because you paid good money to be on that flight and they got some beautiful noise cancellation joints that cost you like $50 Public space. They get them.
Speaker 1:Ray cons, it can do the job nowadays if you in a window seat and a family Walks up and ask, can you get it from? Get up from your seat so we they can sit together, you won't get up.
Speaker 4:Why is it?
Speaker 1:different? Okay, but what if you don't see it?
Speaker 2:depends on the surface. If I'm flying dolo, okay, it is my space in my piece and I paid for that to be on that it depends on.
Speaker 5:For me personally, I'll probably do it, but it really depends on the seat that I'm gonna get you know.
Speaker 2:If you look to the back back, right by the toilet, it's probably not. You're a first class.
Speaker 1:You got you got the noise cancellation. But you can still hear the baby because they're in the front row.
Speaker 2:Honestly the baby.
Speaker 1:You can't do nothing to the baby. What I'm saying is you're gonna be annoyed, you're gonna be and you get. You're not gonna be annoyed.
Speaker 2:Okay cool, I'm not gonna try to tell you why you gonna feel, but I'm so you why I'm gonna feel I'm gonna be fucking pissed off. I'm gonna be fucking ready to explode. Yeah, damn it. What some dope yeah exactly, exactly.
Speaker 5:Yeah, that's why you feel burdened that way, because you're gonna feel you're right.
Speaker 1:This is why we. This is one. This is one of the reasons why we have the podcast, cuz y'all are my therapy.
Speaker 2:This is therapy for me. This is how I stay safe. We might need it was.
Speaker 1:Because otherwise I'd be crazy as fucking be shooting up niggas like Tori Lance to All right, no, no, no, we're out.
