Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know who you are.
Speaker 1:Hey, and we are back with another episode. Thank you for tuning in, yeah man. It's just us here today. Ladies and gentlemen, first off, let's give it up for my right hand man, the POTANUS with the greatest vernacular. Oh shit, potanus stands for the Perspective on Topics, news and Shit, I think they know. And then give it up for the right hand man, the man with the greatest vernacular, the POTANUS baby. Give it up for Dino, aka the Dixoneri what the fuck? Hey, hey, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:I grew locked to headbanging.
Speaker 1:the sounds like this yeah, like the E40 days, right, Ghost ride the whip, ghost ride the whip.
Speaker 3:Now scratch, scratch, scratch. Maybe not so much.
Speaker 1:All right, and now I'm the other half of the POTANUS podcast. Baby, I'm the most electrifying, explosive POTANUS of them all. Probably it's Papa Tizzle, baby, I'm the best.
Speaker 3:I'm the best. I'm the best.
Speaker 1:I'm the best, all right, thanks for that. And we are back with episode 57. That is 5, 7. Papa Tizzle, season 8, baby, let's get off with a grand intro and let's go into an icebreaker. So, first day pod of the season. We've done a couple of day pods in the past, but this is the first one of season 8. It just feels so much better. We're refreshed, not exhausted from long work.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we don't usually do this we usually for those who don't know, and I mean you otherwise? Would not probably know because it probably looks no different, but we use the record at night time.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I'm a night out naturally, so I'll come alive at night. But I will say, waking up after a good, refreshing night's sleep, taking a long hot shower, having coffee, playing with the kids Taking a comfortable shit at the beginning of the day, that too sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I definitely did that.
Speaker 2:My popsies are all set up. I got a shit-saving shower. So I did all the above yeah.
Speaker 1:And I will say it does feel good.
Speaker 3:Why are you playing that for my pops? That's terrible.
Speaker 1:Shit-saving shower.
Speaker 3:It is a refreshing thing. We're drinking light, you know Right, I dig it. I always get judged for Kind of like day drinking, taking shots during the day.
Speaker 1:Like geez JT, it's like 10. Am you all ever want to take a shot?
Speaker 3:Well, if we got a football game, coming up then I'm ready to go.
Speaker 1:Hey.
Speaker 2:I mean no different from me.
Speaker 3:Hey people, you know where it floats your boat, my guy.
Speaker 3:But, that does sound early, mainly because I probably get out the best sometimes Because my kids are of course going to be early risers. My wife, she's going to be up and if I'm up late, if I take night routine, if I'm up late, then I'm going to sleep in. She's going to take the kids in the morning and we'll swap around afternoon. I'll get lunch and she can do whatever she's going to do. But there are some days where I'm getting out of bed at 10 am. So that does sound wild to like get out of bed and go take a shot. Well, because I'm not a huge threat.
Speaker 3:But you're not getting out of bed at 10 am.
Speaker 1:No, it's more like eight, and so Would that be a problem?
Speaker 3:If somebody like me just waking up, all right, let me just take my shot at Tequila now. Do you see that as a problem?
Speaker 1:No, I'd be ready to go I mean because I'm ready at all One of my previous manager when I was in Boston, which is part of my recap she asked me because her husband was joining us on the last night of our team summit. She was like you never turn down, you never turn the volume down, you never lower the power button. She was like does that ever happen when we're not looking at you or seeing you or in your presence? And I was like it naturally happens sometimes.
Speaker 3:I mean everyone has to power off to recharge.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but after a couple of auto shutdowns I've learned.
Speaker 3:I'm like okay, I know what's powering down we need like a.
Speaker 1:Mario. Like I'm gonna add that to the button I mean to the board for the next episode. But no, like I'm always on goal because I know my body and I naturally love to socialize and engage with people, have fun. And but I know I can tell that she was nervous because her husband was joining us later that evening and she was like, oh my God, like I don't want him, like him being the only black guy in our company.
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm not company but our organization. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And this is going to be his first impression.
Speaker 3:The wife worked for the company and the husband was joining her.
Speaker 1:So no, yeah, yeah, the wife works for the company Right, and so she was our interim manager after we fired our other manager and she was like filling in until we got the current manager and, let me, she didn't want her. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I've been there before.
Speaker 1:I've been a advocate for me and and and my say so in the company and whatnot. But anyways, besides that, let's get into a nice so the Boston recap man.
Speaker 2:I was in.
Speaker 1:Boston this the entire week, which was also one reason why we couldn't record on a Friday, because man, like I got back and I was just on lag.
Speaker 3:I was on dry Hold on. So just for the people you were down there, I was down to work related. I got annual type of retreat type of thing y'all do, or like was yeah.
Speaker 1:So we're a newly organization as of March earlier earlier this year and and we this was our first summit as a team. Gotcha, y'all do this every year, or like every quarter. What is it? It was determined at the summit that we're going to do this quarterly.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:But I think, I think, I know, I'm sorry, semi-annually. Okay, it's going to be two and a half, so okay. So yeah, but we were trying to figure out if we were going to do it annually, quarterly or semi-annually. So that was the decision point. We'll do one in the first half of the year and then the second half. And if this was needed, you know because we didn't believe.
Speaker 1:You know, we went through like this, the four stages of forming norming, storming all that shit Right. And it was very rough at the beginning when we first formed back in March, like we didn't believe it was two organizations security and safety that merged and I was on the safety side of the house. So two different ideologies coming together, trying to form as one team, meaning that we both have to learn each other's job in order to be adequate and known across the country.
Speaker 3:I mean it does make sense. There is difference in that kind of if you want to use the term ideological perspectives on things, but they are serving the same purpose when you think about it safety and security. You're trying to secure it, to keep it safe. Yeah, exactly yeah.
Speaker 1:Right, but you got to keep the shit entertaining and enticing for the people as well, in order to keep them engaged.
Speaker 1:For sure, yeah, so we have a complex job but, needless to say, the summit finally happened and we're at this point now where it was perfect timing. We gave it six months, just about to get to the summit, to form all these relationships and then for us to engage in person was absolutely phenomenal. I mean like it was an exceptional bonding experience. We know each about each other our quirks, what our strengths and weaknesses, opportunity areas and growth, attributes that were needed and whatnot and we just understand each other on a much higher tier Was this.
Speaker 3:so was there a lot of time spent kind of like working on that piece? Like not necessarily.
Speaker 1:It was more presentation oriented. Like we every, our schedule was completely jam packed. There was very little breathing room to like just go and do anything, and I barely picked up my phone.
Speaker 3:Did y'all workshop, like we all did things together or we did workshops? Yeah, they wouldn't just sit and watch people talk. No, no, no, no, whatsoever that was like maybe half the summit.
Speaker 1:The other half was very interactive.
Speaker 3:That's true, that's what you got doing and we, yeah, and discussion.
Speaker 1:Exactly, you have to keep it in interactive. We got a lot of merch and free gear, like they spent money, and this whole entire summit was completely thought out, but no but no. It needs to say the keyword for that is productive, right. And then there was a Nike convention.
Speaker 2:That has nothing to do with the work.
Speaker 3:So, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1:So there was an acute convention that was also in town the same time.
Speaker 3:Before you pivot. Before you pivot real quick, just quick, random, quick question as I'm listening is anyone from the show know that you have a podcast and or listen to said podcast?
Speaker 1:A fourth of the people knew at before I got there and then by the end, of it everybody knew that. I had a podcast and luckily I had Magnus and stuff to hand out.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay, so you had to swear yes, oh yeah, and listen.
Speaker 1:I think Boston is dope but, like, the reason I'm giving this Boston recap is because, like I got to talk about how dope and advanced the city is, how dope the people are?
Speaker 3:I was just curious because there was there was a moment early on we was bigging up your interim manager. I was like yeah, she must listen to something.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3:He struggled her weave right there, she must be, she was, I think she's.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, she's heard a few of the pods or whatever. I know my current manager right now. I know he's going to listen because he's, like you know, a brother from another mother. Like he's what he wears the essentials. He's got a high top dunks and a dog chain and stuff.
Speaker 3:But if he didn't wear that but?
Speaker 1:he rock with it when he's at work. He is GQ'd up, you know, like poker dotted button up that's taken to the dry clean on a weekly basis and what not Like put on clothes, oh yeah, he's he's. He's well taken care of, he's smart, he's been in the industry and done all kinds of food manufacturing plants and stuff.
Speaker 3:Whatever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, shout him out. Where is that?
Speaker 3:I think somebody had to be listening because he was getting Okay, hey man, you're the bees knees, but I just work with a dope, a lot of white people, a lot of like.
Speaker 1:We have a very diverse organization. We got Asians, one of our people is Sri Lankan and whatnot. It's just, it's just very.
Speaker 3:Do you work immediately with a lot of those people or does your department or team like so? You just mentioned the merge of your new department. There's a lot of the your immediate team. I have to now because of what I do.
Speaker 1:So I was first hired on with Wayfair to you know, to do the COVID stuff They've dropped. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah. Shout out to Wayfair baby. And no, we're not sending children in fucking briefcases and in in dressers across the country.
Speaker 3:Are you right on the thing?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, it's still a thing that that doesn't necessarily haunt us, it's just a silly narrative that people still try to run and to talk. Now what they're trying to do is to like saying that we have bugs embedded into the dressers and stuff. I was like that doesn't even fucking make sense, like if that was the case. Anyways, I'm not going to get into all of that. Wayfair is a dope company, very forward thinking, like how you think about Ford fashion.
Speaker 3:This is forward innovation.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:And. But people stop fucking hitting me up asking for the discount code. No longer advertising that.
Speaker 3:I'm doing that for full sense.
Speaker 1:I'm putting everybody on fucking blast.
Speaker 3:I said I'm going to put a order in. You really say, friends, don't hit me up for no discount.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just just close circle.
Speaker 2:Like three people hit you up on Instagram.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, you good, you good.
Speaker 1:You close.
Speaker 2:But if you, if you want the, discount.
Speaker 1:I'm going to make your ass work for it. I need a. I need a dinner, not dinner, and no longer we're not doing pop it.
Speaker 3:I don't know, I need Don't tell people what it is, don't tell people what it is. But is it discount worth all that? Hell yeah, it is expensive, hey yo.
Speaker 2:And that's why I'm not accepting pop it up anymore.
Speaker 1:I'm accepting Mastros and fucking and Morton's and feeling there. Oh yeah, I need all that shit. Man, that's all of that because. I've realized I've saved people thousands of dollars.
Speaker 3:Yo, there was this one order, bro, because if I'm just getting me a end table, that end table will be taken off. It's going to be a discount Possibly. If I pay full price, it still don't equal McCormick's more people never hit me up just for like a measly table.
Speaker 1:They hit me up for really that is true Exotic merchandise that we have on display. We have a popcorn machine, a pool table, a fucking hot tub. We got vanities and stuff.
Speaker 3:This is turned into a commercial. Yeah, hey yo Bro, it's turned into a whole commercial.
Speaker 1:I like where I work. I feel comfortable with putting that out there now because, like I'm just, I finally feel like I'm in a place where I belong. You know so shout out to Wayfair.
Speaker 3:Applaud that yeah.
Speaker 1:It is a tech company, so I'm part of that whole Afro or Blacks and Tech pool, but nonetheless it was dope Nike convention. They had us in the Marriott and Back Bay Boston, whatever. So we are on the coast on the waters and stuff.
Speaker 3:Back Bay and the Marriott. Oh, back Bay yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And the reason why I bring that up is because the Nike convention was there too. And so they had a big convention where they were determining, like, how they're going to do things in 2024.
Speaker 3:I don't know much about Boston, so I just have to add Back Bay like a. It's like the pier, Like yeah, okay, it's like on the water. Yeah, so it's literally on the water.
Speaker 1:Gotcha, and it's beautiful man. It's cathedrals all over the place. If you've never been to Boston, highly recommend visiting, and depending on what time of the year you go, because the weather is pretty nice. They have actual seasons over there, oh yeah, actual season, so it was raining, and it got cool instantly, but it's just very scenic.
Speaker 3:Was it like right now you just got back Because could you wear long sleeves down there right now?
Speaker 1:I'm actually a little. Yeah, yeah, you could. Oh, I wore long sleeves the whole time.
Speaker 3:Jets were the same thing by Idaho.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's wearing like I got a, I got a bone to pick with Houston, though, so why is it that every time I leave this motherfucker, that's when the thing is?
Speaker 2:dramatic and what happened for the better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like it's been a series of 100 degrees plus weather 100 plus degrees every day. The moment, the morning that I left, it was a 78. It was in the 70s, like low 70s like high 60s in the morning. Yeah, it was like the first morning or fall. It didn't get any hotter than like 93, 92 probably that day and then we also hadn't had any rain up until I left, when I rent, when I left the whole week it was raining in this motherfucker.
Speaker 1:And then it was a storm yesterday that happened. That put out our power for a couple of hours. Yeah, I'm like yo man. What's going on? Yeah, I think that I'd probably bring the heat in places.
Speaker 3:Is that what it is? I knew, I knew it was gonna find some way to get back to you, like where you, somehow, because you may carry with you. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1:When you leave, shit happens. So Nike convention, right? Yeah, I bring this up because I got a show. Got my first pair of of of dunks low top dunks.
Speaker 3:Let me support you, let me not be there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, don't put me in my closet, but it's on you. I mean, like I'm the done guy.
Speaker 1:Like.
Speaker 3:I'm the. I'm the retro Nike guy as it pertains to, but usually I will give you this Usually it's high tops like I do.
Speaker 1:high top or me is like blazers give the people a rundown of, like, what to expect with a low top dunk. Why do people become a little skeptical when it comes to these?
Speaker 3:Well, it's like, it's not even like so low top, high top me or whatever. These like dunks, blazers, jordan ones, maybe four, maybe in forces, I don't know but like they're very flat. Yeah, chucks, they're very flat, and so a lot of shoes that I rock are flat. For that reason I got a flat skinny foot so it looks great on me. Yeah, but yeah, so I can, and you got you like you have custom, you know, arch measured insole for your shoes.
Speaker 3:So I can see how those could be painful for you, my guy which is why, when I saw you in a moment, I was like what?
Speaker 1:For our listeners. If you didn't know, I have a background in dance and performing arts right, and so it's very imperative for me to have shoes that are form fitting to my foot and, like Dino said, I have custom insole that I have to switch out for all of my shoes. I think the only pair of shoes that I don't do it for are like dress shoes, like dress oxfords.
Speaker 3:Yeah, unless you're gonna be dancing in my house, you go to a wedding.
Speaker 1:Do you put them in? No, I don't surprisingly, but that's because, like I'm on fucking, I'm strung up on alcohol, I'm high energy, I bring the energy, so I'm ready and I don't even feel it, I just go numb.
Speaker 3:Yeah, okay, all right, I'm gonna be in my shoes?
Speaker 1:No, but you want to party?
Speaker 3:I can't feel my feet.
Speaker 1:No, but for our listeners that aren't watching, I have displaying the dunk right now and it's like a variation of earth tone olive.
Speaker 3:They'll have a name Cackie olive and I don't know what they're called, but they have a name. You gotta figure out the name of those, yeah, so you can say these are the Evergreen.
Speaker 1:Lowe's. Yeah, it's like. Yeah, it's three colors, I'm glad that you said it Evergreen, olive and tan, and it's a beautiful, well put together shoe. And so I got these from the store called Bodega.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, that's dope. A little concept of it. I saw the yeah, it's a dope. It looks like a Bodega.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it looks like a Bodega, but it's kind of set up like a speakeasy style, where you push like a back door and then it opens up to this grand, very sleek, sophisticated showroom with wooden wardrobe. Like line, which is the wardrobe, yeah, and it just has all like dope, merch and stuff, like everything is methodical, like you got, you have three inches in between each shirt, that's always playing and whatnot. That's what makes me think about something, okay, so it's like yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a high end boutique. Yeah, kingsman.
Speaker 3:So question yeah, because I don't know this of you and I do it on occasion, I will admit I don't do it like consistently. To where? Like if I'm getting some new shoes, oh I know I'm going blank. Or if I'm looking for a new tee or a new blank, I'm going blank. Do you shop at local boutiques? Now, I'm going to here in town. Yeah, I'm going to go to the local boutiques here.
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, we have our princess hey, pretty girl, princess Kaco trying to walk into the studio. Hello beautiful, how you doing. Turn my mic on oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you want to say something. Hey, you want to come say it. You want to come speak.
Speaker 3:You just saying hey, hello.
Speaker 1:You want to say something? Okay, she's shying up, she's shying up, I love you. I love you, baby girl. You about to go on adventures, her and Sam about to go hang out with our neighbors, and they about to go shop and do lady things.
Speaker 2:Yes, thank you for coming on the show.
Speaker 3:I know she gave you the best smile just now.
Speaker 1:That's a good word. Yeah, Kaco. Oh, I'm going to dance Kaco ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to dance. Look at her yeah, good niece, I love you baby. But no, I went to.
Speaker 3:It sounds like you really enjoyed it. The reason I mention it is because this experience you're talking about is like dope boutiques. We got some dope boutiques here. That everything you describe. We got that here, bro, in Houston.
Speaker 3:Because I know you're going to talk about the Boston and the Houston and how you came home was like. So I want you to get into that, but I do need you to know that that exists here. We can go check a few out that I know about and it's something I don't know about because I've been out the game for a minute.
Speaker 1:My nickname for Houston is New Houston, because there's a lot of New York and East Coast inspired New Houston, new Houston.
Speaker 2:New York and New.
Speaker 1:York it's a lot of East Coast inspired. Just personality that's here. You think so In a way. Oh yeah, just the fashion, the culture. I ran into somebody the other day more last week, because I was in Boston all week, but last week that had a Chicago accent and I was like where are you? What are you doing?
Speaker 3:Okay, so okay, I think I see where you're going. I will say that I agree in the sense that Houston is a damn bro, it's a melting pot.
Speaker 1:It's a melting pot of different cultures, for sure.
Speaker 3:Much like New York is. And much like New York, we don't call them burrows, but we have enclaves that are ethnically and culturally diverse.
Speaker 1:There's a real, real Chinatown. Word of the day right there. Word of the day Enclave.
Speaker 3:Enclave. Yeah, I mean, there's little sections of town that are very, very ethnically and culturally dedicated to a specific group of people. You can go to Chinatown and everything's written in other characters you've never seen before. You can go to Southwest Side and eat Ethiopian, nigerian, west African food and very much the. I mean there's people Toby Nwegle, he's from SWAT, you know Mokana Uzina, they've been like this.
Speaker 1:Big Nigerian influence they over there. They run the Southwest. There's like a little Mexico over here with airline areas they run the Pasadena, you can go to.
Speaker 3:You're right, but my point is much like New York, there are areas that are little.
Speaker 1:Asians run sugar land.
Speaker 3:Sugar land.
Speaker 1:Bel Air, that's Chinatown.
Speaker 3:I know. I know a lot of Africans in Bel Air too.
Speaker 1:We have a Chinatown in Houston.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but so I do agree. I don't. I won't say it's what New York inspire, but it is New York adjacent in that way.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, I threw in multiple East Coast cities. I just said it's East Coast.
Speaker 3:East Coast adjacent in that way?
Speaker 1:Yes, Right now, people from the.
Speaker 3:West and the arts bro. Yes, you know I went to New York and saw my first Broadway show. Arts is a big culture is big up there. Houston is a is definitely like a hotspot for arts. What show did you see? I saw Lion King, oh yeah Of course, bro. You know, come on, change my life. I saw that in Stomp. Both of them were dope. Oh yeah, stomp, Both of them were dope Cool ass.
Speaker 3:white boys jumping on climbing up fences and stuff banging with trash tops. You know the company. They're gonna have dreadlocks in a white beater on yeah.
Speaker 1:You're swinging them all. Hey yo, he was in the in the video, the movie, yeah, oh yeah, you're right, yeah no, but man Stomp was the shit dude. Yeah, that was dope Back in the day, man, hey yo, we had some dope culture growing up in the 90s and this is the is arguably the best decade 90s, early 2000s, oh yeah. Put that on my put that on my momma.
Speaker 1:Hey, and by now let me hold an anthotis disclaimer at the top of the episode. I know we're like about 10, 20, yeah, we're 21 minutes in exactly. I'm gonna say right now, like this is a culture very much so influenced by the interest of Dino and JT episode.
Speaker 3:Oh, I see where you're going, yeah.
Speaker 1:So everybody, if you're not interested in and yeah, moving forward everything that we're going to be talking about.
Speaker 3:This may be a departure from the normal format.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Like, if you're not into comic books, movies, music performances and just dope shit, then we'll see you next week. But everybody that's like all into like really cool, like stuff that we grew up on, stuff that we dig video games, sneakers, fashion, attire and then all the bullshit that's happening in the news right now Well, they may very well stick around. Yeah stick around, and if you have an interest in any of that shit, then put or you don't know. If you do, stick around. I promise you you're going to be thoroughly entertained.
Speaker 3:All my favorite shows used to have at least one episode in the season. That was a complete departure from the normal format. You're like wait, what was that? And sometimes you and those be the ones you appreciate the most Speaking of Bebop Bebop did that, by the way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, cabo Webop.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah Again.
Speaker 1:I can already get into it there, but yeah, for show. All right, yeah, but the Nike convention was happening. That was dope and it was very apparent because it was nothing but people that weren't black, that were wearing kind of monochrome outfits, but then they had exotic and elaborate, very loud Nikes.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And like, and it was just so many. It was like literally a person was dedicated to one particular brand. There you had one guy wearing forces, you had another wearing them, the Max's. And then Max's opens up into this five, a series of five different branches. You had a 90, a 95, a 97. Yeah yeah, you had the vapor max, you had the, you had the chick.
Speaker 3:They still make it different Max's.
Speaker 1:Hey yo and the women out there were. I'm a 93, 97 guy, the women were killing the boys when it comes to like the fashion and the kicks man, like they are just.
Speaker 3:I got to give it up for the women. Are you at 95? What are you about 95?

Speaker 3:No, no, no no, no, hold on, hold on. Remember when I was talking about respect and friendship and shit, you low key disrespect.
Speaker 1:I'm coming back to the gate keeping. No, no, no, but I'm not going to get key for you like you're gonna be.
Speaker 3:97s have been my shit for like a while you can show up with dunks, green dunks, and now you got four pairs of 97s and I probably got three of them, hoes. That's crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, man, or they on my list. I'm tapping into your, into your arena. Now, man, I got how that.
Speaker 3:Daniel cause I think I showed Daniel my my list. I got like a wish list and stock X.
Speaker 1:I think you're the snuggle peek of that bitch cause ain't no way you got four pairs of 97s on the way. It is a little disrespectful. I'm coming.
Speaker 3:I'm literally entering your. I literally try not to wear shoes other people wear.
Speaker 1:I'm entering your arena without knocking for permission, knocking and asking for permission.
Speaker 3:Well, I'll get me the nineties. I wanted a couple of years and I welcome you to the nineties gang.
Speaker 1:But but yeah, man, I got some more dunks on the way, some some 97s, and I'm excited Like I passed up on these pair of 97s that, uh, that came out about a month ago and I ended up calling it a $10 million. I couldn't stop thinking about them after I left the store that day. And now, after coming back from Boston, I'm just so forward. Like my mentality is forward fashion now. And I want to spend my money.
Speaker 3:What do you mean by that forward fashion? What do you mean by that's your mentality? Well, like I just want to, that may mean something different for different people.
Speaker 1:When I buy a piece of clothing, I want it to be it's intentful right. I want it to represent me, but also represent a place that I, or a concept that I want to dive in a little bit more. It might not necessarily You're probably going to see me in the future wearing a piece of merch that you're like. I wouldn't anticipate or think that he would wear that normally, but I kind of like how he's exploring into this.
Speaker 3:I see what you're saying. That's for Okay so you're adopting a more progressive stance on your wardrobe selection.
Speaker 1:Yes, however, you're not going to see me.
Speaker 3:I don't expect that.
Speaker 1:It's not going to be exaggerated where I'm like wearing flared pants and a fishnet and paint your nails.
Speaker 3:Oh no fuck no, no, no no.
Speaker 1:I'm not that forward fashion, but forward fashion for me I do have a couple of flared pants on the way.
Speaker 3:Maybe not flared, that's wild, but like wide, I guess maybe wide leg pants yeah, baby.
Speaker 2:I don't have no.
Speaker 3:I got no flare pants on the way. But I feel what you're saying, yeah like you're moving outside of your comfort zone, you're extending your.
Speaker 1:All of brands literally.
Speaker 3:You're extending your fashion lexicon, so to speak. Another vocabulary word for the day.
Speaker 1:Lexicon. I like that I like that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know you would appreciate it because you're very advanced in your. I stay doing that, bro. Yeah, trust me, it may work. I look back at pictures of outfits that I wore and I was like, damn, that's a dope fit, but I would not wear that today. I wouldn't. I have all the pieces to put that back on and I have no desire to put that back on like that.
Speaker 1:I look back from Boston, though, because with a new perspective and this is going to kind of tie into our highlight topic maybe we might do some shit talking, depending on how I feel. I was really skeptical about, like, if I wanted to be completely expressive on my and authentic with my thoughts, because some of the shit I do hold back from talking on the pod because it involves particular people and especially people that listen to the part.
Speaker 3:You don't want to burn bridges and kill his, and they would for sure destroy bridges.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm always thinking about all of you. Just letting you know.
Speaker 3:And you want to keep your job, especially at your name drop.
Speaker 1:I want to keep the job. I want to keep my job. I want to keep. Well, I'm not. Keep your job, keep your friends, I don't have a really any concern for me losing my job. That's how forward thinking the company is.
Speaker 3:That's good. I know people Well. I don't know them personally, but I've seen stories where people get fired from what they post on, like oh, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:I don't think I'll ever get to that point. I'm not going to pull no. Aston Kutcher, Milo Cunlés type shit or whatever. Oh, you didn't hear the old boy. Oh shit, yeah, got hit with that rape charge and they just convicted his ass to 30 years in prison just to do from the Death 70 show, I forgot what his name is.
Speaker 3:He was actually one of my favorite characters with the Dwight Boy with the kind of the fuzzy fro looking, the curly hair with the he always had. I don't know his name, I didn't watch the show like that Danny Masterson, that's him. Yeah, I did see that, but I don't know. So I heard the Ashton him. I heard that he wrote him a letter to the judge or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know. After he got the sentencing they wrote oh no, when they were thinking about giving the sentencing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is like during this trial.
Speaker 1:At that point, right before they're about to give out the sentence, everybody's always the buzz is like oh man, I heard that 30 years to life is on the line now, and so and sure enough.
Speaker 3:That's exactly what he got, which is good this motherfucker did, but.
Speaker 1:But during that period they both had wrote letters advocating for him, yeah, and there was no substantiated evidence that was going anywhere in his direction of approving him innocent.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and the witness is like he's been a great guy as far as we know.
Speaker 1:That's exactly what those letters were saying.
Speaker 3:And then that comes out, and then this asshole gets convicted and now you look like an asshole for saying this guy's great when he did all this horrible shit to people.
Speaker 1:And they both are huge advocates against sexual assault and anything that.
Speaker 3:I didn't know that piece of it I didn't know.
Speaker 1:And that's why it was ironic they both got a lot of backlash.
Speaker 3:Yeah, okay, I did hear something about that.
Speaker 1:But no, I wouldn't get to that point. But I just want the listeners to know that Dino and I we put a lot of work into curating each episode to make sure that it's appropriate. We try to go near the line of. What would you call this line, the line of no?
Speaker 3:tomorrow.
Speaker 2:No return no return and cancellation.
Speaker 1:But for the sake of entertainment.
Speaker 3:Is that a thing? We gotta talk about that? Let's talk about that again. Is that even a thing Not right now, but like it's always gonna be there?
Speaker 1:There hasn't been anything. We haven't been canceled yet because there hasn't been a movement of anybody talking about. Do not tune into the podcast, we're worldwide by the way, we got listeners all over the world and we love y'all. We appreciate y'all for tuning in, sticking with us for eight seasons. We're gonna keep this shit going, but nonetheless. But yes, no, I came back with a new perspective and I'm gonna put a pause on that because we're gonna loop back around. Let's get into some news, right quick.
Speaker 3:Okay, you cleverly looped in that Masterson news. Is that news to you?
Speaker 1:No, no, no, that's not news today, that was last week's news, but I thought that it was imperative that we, kind of like, just sprinkle a little bit of what happened.
Speaker 2:Fuck him. That's terrible and kind of correlate it to what we're talking about. But anyways.
Speaker 3:All right, Aaron Rodgers, you know what's going on with him. No, Is he also charged Shit? What's?
Speaker 1:going on with people. What's going on? No, no, no, no. So oh man.
Speaker 3:What's going on with Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 1:So, aaron Rodgers, all right. So for those of you that aren't, into NFL or football or sports. Last week was the kickoff of the NFL. It was week one of the NFL.
Speaker 3:We talked about it over the pop.
Speaker 1:There's been a lot of propaganda for Aaron Rodgers, who was dropped by or traded from the Green Bay Packers, which is the team that he's been with for like the last decade and a half, and now he's on the New York Jets and there's been. You know when that trade had happened I think there was like three months ago and so it's been nothing but propaganda in hype and buildup of this man, the return of the legend. You know now that the previous go, tom Brady, is out the new goal is here.
Speaker 1:He's the goal now right and not even two minutes into the game. After the third drive he gets pulled down. And it's not an aggressive pull either. He just looks like he just was oh, not an injury. He's a sack, not just any injury. He. Let me just read this Breaking news Aaron Rodgers suffers a complete tear of his left Achilles, tendon out for the entire season. Hell, no.
Speaker 3:That's how he get old bro. He tore his entire Achilles. Hey yo, I mean wait, what was? The tackle Was?
Speaker 1:it a sack? It was a tackle. It wasn't a sack. I didn't see this tackle, bro, it was a tackle.
Speaker 3:I've seen some free gags. I saw it got dunked a ball and come down his leg explode so many.
Speaker 1:It didn't even look like that at all. It looked like he literally just slowly brought him to the ground.
Speaker 3:And he tore his Achilles.
Speaker 1:And his Achilles just burst, just popped.
Speaker 3:Okay, now how old is Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 1:I think Aaron Rodgers is for sure in his 40s. Let me look that up. That's why the Niggaz Achilles tore so easily.
Speaker 3:It's like you know our rubber bands when you get them fresh out the pack they like real stretchy and in the older they get like they get out he's 39.
Speaker 1:So he's about to be 40.
Speaker 3:That's why he has the Achilles tour.
Speaker 1:That's why it's time to sit down. Look at him, I mean.
Speaker 2:I'm not laughing at that man, the third play. I'm laughing at this picture.
Speaker 1:Oh, and then the game happened. Yeah, we're playing against the Buffalo Bills, and so Buffalo Bills have been Super Bowl contenders for the past like four years. But yeah man, I mean like the third play the third play at the beginning of the game rips his leg happened on 9 11. So they had a beautiful intro ceremony.
Speaker 1:He's the one that ran out with the American flag and stuff and everybody that was watching it was like man, some bullshit is about to happen. And then Zach Wilson, the backup quarterback, who people have been talking shit about for the past two years, instantly goes into the game. And guess what? He? They fucking won.
Speaker 3:I was going to ask him in the game. Well, the game.
Speaker 1:The game was really good. I was watching that entire game because I had a lot on the line for Venice.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because you play in fantasy, but I didn't watch, but that sucks.
Speaker 1:But I just wonder all the people that talk shit to me outside of the pod about Aaron Rogers. I told y'all, so I fucking told y'all.
Speaker 3:So that this shit was not going to run. There's no way you knew this nigga was gonna tear his Achilles.
Speaker 1:I didn't know he was gonna tear his Achilles, but I knew he was going to shit the fucking bed, Gotcha bitch. He got 40.
Speaker 3:Huh, because he's getting old.
Speaker 1:He's not yet he's 39.
Speaker 3:He's not ages.
Speaker 1:How do you just need to start thinking full? Listen, I just know what greatness looks like. I used to hate Tom Brady, right.
Speaker 3:You don't think Aaron Rogers is great?
Speaker 1:No, I mean no, no, no, I take that back.
Speaker 3:He is a great, but he's not how Beyonce. Not great. No, no, no.
Speaker 1:He's not. He's not great. No, Beyonce is the greatest.
Speaker 3:But oh, thank you, Okay good.
Speaker 1:Like it still pains me to even say that.
Speaker 3:I'm glad you feel that way. Not the greatest in my eyes, but I don't say it too late, too late.
Speaker 1:But Aaron Rogers is not the greatest of anything. He's not the greatest. He's the greatest at fumbling the fucking bag or fumbling the ball. I know a lot of pain and money was lost on that day, but anyways, he's fine with it.
Speaker 3:He's fine with it. Take this man misery and rub it in people's faces.
Speaker 1:No, I just wanted people to know everybody who has Aaron Rogers as y'all's starting quarterback.
Speaker 3:I feel for you.
Speaker 1:I mean, I do too, and now they're pulling from scraps, because now they got to pick from people like Baker, mayfield and Zach. Wilson and all the greats that say and then I got, I caught hell for picking up Pat Mahomes in the second round. They're like nobody picks up a quarterback in round two of the of your draft. Well, guess what? Young Tizzle, papa Tizzle, the reigning fucking champion.
Speaker 3:Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if they'll let us.
Speaker 1:I'm giving it maybe one more episode. Papa Tizzle, I'm stunning, y'all motherfuckers man. Anyways, moving on, jay Z and Jay Mai, I don't and I'm saying Jay, no, it's not.
Speaker 2:I don't know how to genie. Genie, mai yeah.
Speaker 3:I know that they are the which one they was on the talk the view that the, the the chief well, we don't have much time right now, but they're divorced now Damn. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they are calling it. Well, I mean, am I? I don't know if it's they or if it's an efficient him, but looks like the end of the snowman, has officially filed for divorce. According to reports, his filing was placed in Fulton County court, which is in Atlanta, atlanta and the two have already separated. News is still coming in regards to the split, but GZ is seeking joint custody for their daughter.
Speaker 3:So genie probably did some and I definitely read that last night, when I pulled this.
Speaker 1:I thought that he was seeking full custody.
Speaker 3:I was like damn, but at least joint custody. So this ain't the show you room, but I do think it was good while lasted.
Speaker 1:She said she before in her previous marriage she said she would never be married again, I mean, or she never would have children, and then she divorced and then God would do that with a real nigga. I mean I'm not going. Okay, I ain't mad at it, I agree.
Speaker 2:He's a real nigga. But look I don't know.
Speaker 3:That's always bad to hear. I mean not always. I'll be honest. Sometimes you hear about that it's like damn, that's probably the best. Like when I heard about Christian and blue face breaking out. I'm like that's probably the bad, that's probably for the better. Oh, that's what that is.
Speaker 1:I keep hearing this name Christian. Oh Christian, that's a woman, right.
Speaker 3:So is she like retracted, so that's blue faces. Now, baby mama, is his like long term toxic girlfriend.
Speaker 1:She's the one that just put on Instagram live, or it's the live?
Speaker 3:her birth and named her son Christian junior that kind of ties into my new split, new perspective, like highlight topic. How do you feel about that?
Speaker 1:about putting your birth on my mind, hold on no no no.
Speaker 3:I mean, or right now, just walk with me for a second. Okay, papa Tizzle, you know, papa Tizzle, yeah, you just young. Tizzle the Thrizzle, love Thrizzle, papa Tizzle.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, I'm talking about like in the scenario right Okay.
Speaker 2:Papa Tizzle.
Speaker 3:And you bought to have a baby and Sam, you two, you know y'all kind of y'all have a little Tizzy or whatnot and like the day to birth. You man, you know I'm, you know I'm a schedule a month away. I'm a schedule a guys night and we're gonna go and we're gonna do some real innocent. We're gonna go watch Blue Beater with the fellas. You know what I'm saying Some super innocent.
Speaker 3:I mean, I'm trying to get the most innocent vanilla shit possible, right, and we're gonna go bowl and drink ginger, ale, you understand? Yeah, boom. Now, I'm not saying that's the exact blue face situation, because I don't think it was his ex-baby mama, so it's a different thing. But that's what you're doing, okay, in the meantime, she has scheduled her, her induction. She's gonna she knows what she's gonna have a baby. She's like I'm just it's gonna be scheduled for around the time you're doing that, you go have the baby and, by these set of circumstances of outline, you are not there for the birth, right, okay, now, okay.
Speaker 3:Because you're not there she says I don't want you there. She says that to you. You don't need to be there. I just want my, my sister, my mama. I need my, I need, I just want women around me. I don't want any man in the birth room, including you. You got to respect that. And what are you going to do? Fight to get in the birth? No, that's not your body, she can say, because it's medical procedure technically being done to her. She can dictate who she does and doesn't want in the room. You're not there, no matter what. Sorry, you're out with your guys watching Blue Beater or drinking ginger ale. She has the baby. She says oh, he not here. I'ma name this baby Sam Jr. Hmm, which is technically a man's name. Right, it's a, it's a. You know. It's a unisex name, not not Jonathan Jr, not a Jason, a J name, you know not you know straight up Sam Jr In the smoke.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm talking about Her last name.
Speaker 1:So is that what she did she? Named the baby Crenshaw, Creson Jr. Oh Creson.
Speaker 3:Creson Jr. Hard to say.
Speaker 1:Crenshaw. Okay, my bad.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry. No, like like Chris, but like Chris plus Sean, Chris, Sean, that's how I spell it's spelled Chris Sean.
Speaker 1:S-E-A-M. Chris Sean Is the baby, a boy it's a boy. Oh, did that make sense.
Speaker 3:But if you took the liberty to name the baby like after you without the mom.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I didn't have any say I mean first off we should have came up with a name way before we even got in the labor room.
Speaker 2:Let's say, the name is going to be Jonathan Jr and she's like, oh, and then she switched it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, how do you feel?
Speaker 1:It's tough, but okay.
Speaker 3:So I'll answer this two ways. I'll answer this two ways. Maybe it's healthy, everything good.
Speaker 1:I'll answer it how I would handle it, which wouldn't be in the toxic like I just don't really have how you want to handle it and how you. And.
Speaker 3:I'll entertain the example.
Speaker 1:Okay, so the first response is there's no way that I would even get to that point. We're going to have a discussion and we're probably going to do another rename after that, and I don't care what it takes, but you're doing that in spite.
Speaker 3:Somebody did that.
Speaker 1:So you said. But in this example and I apologize for if I had missed this, but I make the choice to not be there or there were.
Speaker 3:She says I don't want you there, like I don't want any men in the room with me. You make me like y'all got to argue or whatever the case is. Let's not even say it's negative, let's just say she's like.
Speaker 1:But there's a reason why she's asking me to not be there.
Speaker 3:I feel more comfortable if my mom, my sister, my auntie were there. I don't want you there. But I didn't do anything to let's say in this case you did not do anything.
Speaker 1:Okay Then. Yeah, we're going to change that in that baby's name. Okay.
Speaker 3:Then let's say in this case you did do something. Let's say, blueface did do, you did do something wrong and she's like nah, you need to, I don't want you here, I don't want you here.
Speaker 1:We're still going to have a discussion and my call is going to be.
Speaker 2:Is it okay if you did something. No, it's not okay.
Speaker 1:And like if I did that and it brought you to the point where you're going to change the name and we're still going to be together to raise this child together, then no Like.
Speaker 3:I have to have a say in that. No, that's a good point. They're not together. They're no longer dating, they're separated. They're not together anymore. In fact he kind of like I don't know if he with his baby mama, I don't know, but he's like been hanging out with his ex a lot, but is it okay if you're not together? And if he does Like there's all these variables that are popping up, is there any? For me, there's like I don't know that, why not?
Speaker 1:If I'm showing deadbeat tendencies, then he does it, then it's okay. And if I'm showing those traits too, then I, my niggas, are going to hold me accountable. They're going to be like I know that that's not my baby, nigga, but that's not yours.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to let you.
Speaker 1:And you my partner. But I'm telling you that, yeah, like you're going to hold me down and you're not going to hold me down, you're going to hold me accountable.
Speaker 3:Yeah, if you got deadbeat energy, you probably not around me. Or if you are Exactly, yeah, everyone just speak on that, bro.
Speaker 1:But entertaining the example, because I hate what people answer as them and not answer to entertain the example. So that first response was like that's how I would handle it, but if I'm blue-faced then he doesn't have. I'm speaking on behalf of what I think he should do. I think that he I don't know if he's having the deadbeat. If he has deadbeat Tennessee's, then he doesn't have any say Right, but it sounds like that she's toxic and they both talk shit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, have you not seen any of the reality TV show?
Speaker 1:No, cuz I don't have. I don't like watching niggas shit, I really just don't. And that ties into the new perspective in the highlights topic. You know that I want to get into.
Speaker 3:Balance of ratchet and righteousness right, I'd like.
Speaker 1:I like a little bit of red, as I don't watch this either, but if, if, ratchets it, if ratchet ratchet nests is included in the the shit that I am already like engulfed in, which is like High smoothies and dramas and no, that's not a ratchet.
Speaker 3:Is that? Yeah, toxic shit house wise Like that.
Speaker 1:To me that's like I like a little bit like I like ready to love, which is like that's right. Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3:Not there's anything wrong with it, but to me that's when I say ratchet plus righteousness.
Speaker 1:I'm talking about that that show ready to love. I like it.
Speaker 3:Zion is a Zion network. What is that network call? I think yeah, oh girl, natalie, none owns it. Like all these ratchet ass shows are on that network. All the bad girls.
Speaker 1:Zeus Right, zeus, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what it was I on ratchet ass too, but Zeus. Zionism that would know. But he got a baby mama, that's like a stripper some oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, and she went and got his name tatted on it. So then they ratchet now but. Zeus, then I do like shit, like that. I do a little ratchet, I like some, I like some ratchet shit.
Speaker 3:You just are, you just, oh, you call it report. Those are ratchet shit, yeah, but um.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I mean, but that's GZ the snowman baby. That's one of the greatest rappers. And contributed to the hip-hop and rap game but no hear about divorce.
Speaker 3:That's how that we got on this whole bad tangent was. I said that I Hate to hear people.
Speaker 1:I love, love. I look forward to it. I said the last part.
Speaker 3:I can't wait for a situation like blue face in her. Like then you pie there, yeah, like blue face and her. They seem to be a good. Oh, they were married. No fucking.
Speaker 1:Oh well, if they were married and they got divorced? I support that because exactly y'all are better, apart than that's my point.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, but GZ and genie, my didn't seem like that was an unusual couple because, like you have, room for it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was rooting for it too, because it was at that point was doing things unorthodox, but he it was like he was handling his business and he was like you know, if they ankle take care of you, then I will. He came and wife there up and it looked good together, like their wedding and all of that I mean granted Over a year in.
Speaker 3:Westboro. It did seem very different you know, A nigga bro, just a nigga Rapism.
Speaker 1:No, no, no. I was trying to hold back calling him a king kingpin.
Speaker 3:But I think it's known that he is a former drug dealer.
Speaker 1:He's a trap rap getting with, like you know, a pop culture. Yeah, the most beautiful bangin Asian out here in society right now she's out there. Maybe, time, well, maybe top like in passing, like if she wasn't like this hot, I mean first of all, we must admit, first of all, there's not that many for even be struggling. Her presence is top five.
Speaker 1:I can't even think of her presence and, like just heard demeanor, makes her attractive, and so that's what I kind of like go about it, like I wasn't checking for a genie. My before she got with GZ I knew of her, but then, once GZ back, I used to watch the real.
Speaker 3:That's what I'm saying with the yeah, one of the sister's, mary sisters and all them. Yeah so I used to see her all the time on TV in the house.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, sam, would you know, watch it often, but whenever we would have company that would have that on work.
Speaker 3:Yeah, in the view it was on, that's actually it all the time.
Speaker 1:You're right, like y'all over the, where Jen and Jess were the reason why.
Speaker 2:I watched every time I came over. They were too much like that was on the TV.
Speaker 1:They would be playing that shit like.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they would have you to playing it back to back.
Speaker 1:Oh clips of it. Is it Speaking of no notable women? Halle Berry. Oh, how we talking, so Halle explains that wow so Drake came out with a song with Cesar and it's called Slime, slime you out, and we're gonna talk about that. Have you heard the song yet? No, you haven't it's called slime you out and it and to promote this song.
Speaker 3:Slime you out, Drake you know like you out, but like with slime.
Speaker 1:Well, we can play this on. But long story short. I don't really like the song. That's why, like it's hard for me to kind of explain what he's, but when you, when the song is titled, slime you out, right and what does Halle got to do with? This? Well, because the picture that he used to promote Is her at the Nickelodeon Awards Her covered in slime, looking as beautiful as ever. It's a very attractive picture, right. Yeah, um, so that's the care was so this is the picture, ladies and gentlemen, it is Halle Berry.
Speaker 3:I think we cut in the video, but we don't, yeah, and she literally has green slime covered.
Speaker 1:She's covered in green slime.
Speaker 3:I'm assuming that's not means I'm not all over. I'm saying like, is the slot, the slime got to be like?
Speaker 1:yeah, but I don't know if that's like a thug reference too, because you know Young thug go out around slump, slump, slump, right, you know. Plug in all that question.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because I mean I know I know about that terminology is Drake on a song feature with somebody who is talking about. Yeah no, she a slime though. So no, I don't think he's dragging got to do in those slime really per se about himself. So unless it was somebody you know who was on a song, who would be talking?
Speaker 1:about. Sorry, I think his slime is.
Speaker 3:Oh, they don't have the lyrics. I think he's referring to semen. I think is what he talked about.
Speaker 1:That's what you, yeah, you automatically assume. But let's get into what she had thought, right. So they had posted she had made a post Of a of a quote saying sometimes you have to be the bigger guy even if you're a woman. So that's a notable quote. And people are like, hey, is this in reference to you know, drake using that picture of you for his new single? And she said didn't get my permission to use that. That's not cool. I thought better of him, hence my post today. When you people, when people you admire, disappoint you, you have to be a bigger person and move on. So, long story short, whatever the song is about, the way that it's referenced in here and him using that picture, yeah, yeah, without permission, because she got a mouth open, exactly the mouth open, right, and that's you seen any fucking porn, you know that when girls got covered into that, Well that's kind of like what they look at.
Speaker 3:That's not trying to degrade women or whatever. Jt, is some difference in a bukkake? Yeah, that's the sound like you ain't describing on normal shit. But check it out what's wow is and pull up the lyrics. I had it Well.
Speaker 1:I got so many questions for Drake, but you, you know that's why, all right, let's, let's see, because the lyrics aren't in Apple, so let me pull up.
Speaker 3:But you already said this, you only you like the song, so right yeah, like the song was just tasteless, like it, like the beat.
Speaker 1:It was somewhat enough to kind of keep you into it.
Speaker 3:I fuck with scissor.
Speaker 1:I don't like scissor now.
Speaker 3:I liked the first album you like roll and I like there in that ugly scissor.
Speaker 1:No, I'm talking about the music. Hello, yeah, yeah, that's my day if you track. Oh, you're talking about ugly scissor in that phase.
Speaker 3:That's the music that you liked, apparently, yeah, when she was ugly cuz. Now that she got, the BL and all.
Speaker 1:She was like ugly. Back then she was very attractive. No, I mean people say ugly I don't know, okay, but that's like oh, body ugly, that's what people kind of say, yeah, cuz she looks very different now than then.
Speaker 3:She was kind of chubby and she had, but I always like her hair was always amazing. She had a great personality. She was always a great girl. I don't like came out. I always thought she was dope, but there doesn't be a difference, god damn it.
Speaker 1:Are we gonna go down this rabbit hole? I don't like yeah well refined women that have gotten their body done and then be like, oh my gosh, you put in so much work.
Speaker 3:No yeah like no, you didn't like. You don't like, you like a now.
Speaker 1:Like when? Yeah, like a natural woman, I actually grew to them oh you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Let's go like what says again, if you do.
Speaker 3:You know, whatever makes you happy, I stand behind that. Yeah, whatever makes you happy. Yeah, I just as a threshold though, cuz I saw this woman. I was in a Westside gallery area and she had the fakest butt. Yeah, fake is as what was it?
Speaker 1:Combo was? Isn't the gallery? Or in that area, in that area?
Speaker 3:Yep, that and it just looked so ridiculous, like I was concerned, like if she tries to run right now, there's no way she's gonna maintain her balance. Yeah, because it just in her thighs was so little. It was, they were so little, and in her butt. Ridiculous saying it was like.
Speaker 1:I look like they were stuffing socks and bricks in her ass under her skin.
Speaker 3:I really wish she was wearing a prosthetic, as opposed to that actually being a hot bottom, and I think she really Like when I see women power her.
Speaker 1:That don't that that get their body done like that. It's just like, yo, your body is a temple and that's how you treat it like. It's like if we all took a test and then the teacher pulled a fast one and then just revealed that, well, how everybody did, like Chose to respond on the test, and then and shows like well, stacy answered stupidly, and then this person is actually very smart, do you know, did exceptionally well, right, just like reveal the cards and show how they, how they put their natural raw thoughts on paper.
Speaker 3:Like, say, if it was a poem contest? I see I'm correlated.
Speaker 1:How does that relate to BBL. Well, how do you think that that's related like? Because it's like, if you're, if your bot, this is your body, you get to make the decisions right. But if you make the choice to butcher it like that on?
Speaker 3:the first time. Like them, revealing, like, like, so, like them, so that it's that girl, that you, that you just mentioned that woman.
Speaker 1:Yes, you said that, it just didn't look well right Very bad right.
Speaker 3:And it's like a refund on that look like that she did.
Speaker 1:She did her body on the first draft and forgot like maybe.
Speaker 3:I should.
Speaker 1:Did the research yeah she didn't make any revisions, she's just like yep, I went with the first draft turns out I didn't like it.
Speaker 3:But hey it is. Maybe she would with a doctor. I don't know. I know I'm not gonna see her make a bunch of like, cuz I could, I could chop that up if you're going that far to invest, I mean like, look, it's thousands of dollars associated with that right. One thing I will say yes, well, yes, so you that?
Speaker 1:you would think that people knowing that spending all of that money they would be like let me make sure I get this right the first time. So that's why.
Speaker 3:I'm about to say right, I won't cut you off. But here's the thing. I think sis thought she looked great.
Speaker 1:She looked, I mean she, and, and that's that's what I mean by the test, that's what I mean by the poem.
Speaker 3:Test like the teacher, revealing like like how everybody's and the only thing. That's the reason I even hesitate. They mentioned her because she, she looked like she felt great, she looked happy, she was with her homegirls and they look normal, but they were, they were bigger her up and it was a happy bunch of women and these people lying but those people are liars. Looked man, but she was getting mad attention. I mean it was guys trying to holler her stuff, I bet.
Speaker 1:I bet. And no, and there were dummies too, because, like I put it, like this man, you like when you see that, do you believe it's an example?
Speaker 3:who liked that fake? Look though.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, yeah. But but there's also people out there like the white Howard that, like that's it here, say they claim that they're straight but they like trans women. I'm like, no, you're not.
Speaker 3:Stop the whole thing that actually I actually man you know what? Well, I mean cuz that's, that's a slipper slope, but that's something that I myself have even had to see clarity on, because I had someone tell me.
Speaker 1:This timer. We love the LGBTQ a plus I AI community. All of that. We love you I appreciate y'all.
Speaker 3:Of course, you, you, of course.
Speaker 1:I'm not saying that cuz we got canceled, but I just have a lot of people in my village that are that part of that community.
Speaker 3:I love them like brothers and sisters. But anyways, but check it, no, cuz this is, I mean shit, the one who I had this conversation with, somebody who was as equally confused about the shit as I was, and they belong to the community, so nah. But I saw a video and then I saw clarity. It was a person, it was a transgender woman who said and we all over the place at this point, so if you stuck around who we love you. It was a transgender woman who said I don't remember the exact terminology or whatever she was saying, but pretty much she was like yeah, and if you are a heterosexual man, you don't have to, you know, be a man, you don't have to try to, um, like codify how you, how you describe being in a relationship with a trans woman. You are not gay, you are not you love you are If you are a cis het heterosexual male and you like transgender woman.
Speaker 3:You are straight baby. We are women too.
Speaker 2:No, and I was just like no in my opinion.
Speaker 1:I think about it like no, no, you're straight. Women aren't part of the community. Straight, our cis women are not part of the Lgb. No, no, but yeah, they're not part of that, yes, community? Well, they're not. So A man that likes Somebody that belongs to that community is not a heterosexual man. They're not, even though they identify as a woman.
Speaker 3:I see what you're saying. They're not. They're not a heterosexual man, the back row would be.
Speaker 1:So the white Howard unattended. The white Howard, liking what he, what he likes, does not no longer, he's no longer Considered a heterosexual man?
Speaker 3:He's not, in my opinion. I like Listen.
Speaker 2:I see what you're saying, yeah according to modern convention.
Speaker 3:It's not a fact, because the fact is being an objective truth we can all agree on, and yeah, this goes to my point likes in his mind I like women, and now right, women also include this spectrum of women some that have, yeah, you know. So whatever, and guess what? And he likes that version and guess what?
Speaker 1:and this is exactly my point. But tying back, tying it back to the woman with the botched body, right, yeah, when, oh when they consider, or when they change the Definition to make it their own. That tells you the intellect Level of that I disagree.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, no, okay, okay.
Speaker 1:Let me try to refer.
Speaker 3:No, yeah, Like for lack of a better time following you cuz I could what I was. I know that that's disrespectful.
Speaker 1:To call people stupid but like it, for lack of a better term. They aren't all the way there in their mind. She got a big thing and they're making huh no no. She the fact that she thinks that her body looks perfect.
Speaker 3:Now, if you're going for the botched look, but if you think that she's like, but yeah, it's this more, that's not stupid though.
Speaker 1:Okay, that, like that's why I said lack of a better term. Now, stupid and dysmorphia, isn't it within the same because.
Speaker 1:I have body dysmorphia, or I had body dysmorphia, I used to think that I'd look like a fucking. Well, when people would then come to me to be like, oh JT, you don't look bad at all, I'm like, but I don't have eyes, they're like. That doesn't mean you're fat, I'm like boy in my mind, that that's what it means. So, yeah, even there was a phase where I was fucking stupid or had that dysmorphia mentality and then I had to get my, take my head out my ass and then realize this is yeah, I Was. I was in the wrong of wrong, in the wrong mindset. Dwight Howard calling him so and this is not like he didn't Call himself straight technically, the way that he's going about he no, no, actually no, no, he did Liar in that last because of the way things are defined now in the last Lee, he's right in the last situation that happened when he was in the news he.
Speaker 1:There was text messages released by this header with this this transgender. No, no, no, no, yeah, okay so y'all know the story, but for our listeners that may not know in in short, layman terms, the person that he had.
Speaker 2:That Dwight was interested in.
Speaker 1:It was a Transgender woman and that put out text messages saying I'm not, I'm not gay, or anything like that.
Speaker 3:I just like to do some freaking things, oh yeah, which basically I think, do we. Yeah, we did well for for the listeners.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a couple years ago. So that's dysmorphia, right, or that's? Uh, no, that's what. What is that? No, you're looking for a delusion.
Speaker 3:Delusional, that's but Dysmorphia is when, like you, so she's delusional, you feel like it's, there's a that botch woman.
Speaker 1:She's delusional if she thinks that her body isn't botched. Now she's going for the botched.
Speaker 2:Look like, hey, no, this is my thing, like I wanted. I wanted to give this off.
Speaker 1:I'm a great, but when you said that old girl, thought that she was banging great.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yes, he felt great. That's delusional felt like I'm.
Speaker 3:If that body brings you that joy, go for it. Sis, no, but I will say it was definitely not something that looked natural or anything I think people should be doing so how do we get here?
Speaker 1:We talking about scissor, and yeah, and then we talked about body yeah, but the scissor.
Speaker 3:You say you don't like scissor's music now and I'm like it just happens to line up with the way she looks now and scissor. I don't think she's botched, though. I think scissor looks great.
Speaker 1:No, she, she, it looks great on her. She did, she did it. She did it right because she did the research and the clear. She had the money for it. And if she fucked up?
Speaker 2:I'm sure that you would not do it, okay.
Speaker 1:No, not at all. If anything, baby you very voluptuous, but I am I. I as a heterosexual male, okay would be. I'm only attracted to natural.
Speaker 3:Woman.
Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, I don't think we and what's is it, even though scissor is very attractive and I can see why people are attracted to her.
Speaker 3:What if I don't? I don't. Okay, am I doing good jobs, or when you don't even know that they're not natural, because it looks like.
Speaker 1:They could reveal so much of it.
Speaker 3:But my point is, if you see, see scissor today, why don't know, because I haven't seen a picture lately, but like I imagine, well, let's not use her, let's use someone else. I don't have who's gotten just a, just an accent, just an accentuation done, just one cup size up titty, just a little extra roundness in a booty. But they got thighs already, hips already it looks. They don't got like a stick leg with a giant fake jelly bean ass Like it looks like maybe this could actually be her body. And you don't find out till Years later, random say oh yeah, I got a boob job back in the 2000. Yeah, you would never know, but you fell in love with this person. You thought they were natural. Would you then not be as attracted because you find out they're not all natural?
Speaker 1:No, I just no, I just be like, oh wow, I didn't know and I I stand corrected, so it's like, but no, no, let me rephrase that like I don't dislike people that get their body done, but I just I don't like the response and the in the Delusional mindset when people big up people that get their body done. Like man, you put in a lot of work. I'm like no, all you did was spend money and all you know made an art.
Speaker 3:Wait, who's the who does?
Speaker 1:alteration on your body Like scissor. They glorifying her because like she, they say. I've seen people, hundreds of people, say that she put in the work to get her body to look like that, as if she put it like she went into the gym and got her body to look like that and then I mean, I don't know carbs and protein to get her body to look like that. And no, it was. Hello, people don't know they glorify her body. Somebody like her versus a Nico Hart like a. Nico Hart, that's natural, do you dislike?
Speaker 3:the I don't, I think you use the term glorification of their Bodies or of no, the effort that they put into the body to look like that. Okay, so if everyone knows that your ass is faking, that you pay for this body.
Speaker 1:And they say and they sit here and say, man, she put in work to get that body. Yeah, that's the illusion, that right. I don't like that.
Speaker 3:I don't like that our dashes aren't putting in work, but they're getting mass surgeries because Homegirl will have a baby in the next day. She looked like she's a fitness model.
Speaker 1:Yeah, fake ass, and I don't like how like the, the woman themselves, are like, yeah, like I did the work, I put in the work, I'm like no, no, no you, but you.
Speaker 3:I guess I don't see. That's the thing.
Speaker 1:But I mean because I.
Speaker 3:I know money money is. If you have money, you can look how you want to look. You can yeah, right and.
Speaker 1:Yo and probably look, the Cardi B's, the Nicki Minaj is like that shit is attractive and they and they do. I Put like this if you spent the money and then you keep that physique, then I glorify that, I Big. I big that up, right, because you do. It's a little bit of you spending money but also putting that work in to maintain that figure. But but if you're constantly going to the surgery room to make it up, here, like you, you're working.
Speaker 3:But you ain't got to go to surgery room right where I think Drake got fake.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think Drake got a fake stomach.
Speaker 3:He got fake hair.
Speaker 1:I'm, we don't have to, we can not to continue unpacking this like it. Do you think that he disrespected her by doing that, or not? And then we move on.
Speaker 3:Do. I think that he disrespected her by doing that.
Speaker 1:I do think that that he has a right to be exactly. I think, he had.
Speaker 3:I think she has a right to be upset, I just think. I mean I've heard the song, but to me, I'll be honest, can I tell you how I feel? When I heard the title of that song, immediately it made me think a is there someone who was like maybe slob affiliated who will have some where we can make this a Clever play on the word? Or is this nigga talking about? Let's read the lyrics, yeah so then this this sounds too much like a little hard right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, hey, yo and Drake is a marketing genius by the way, like let's give him his Prostitutes.
Speaker 3:I hard, then I mean not like this too much this is why I think he's a more.
Speaker 1:He's a marketing genius, right, or his team is. At the very least is that he. The song is trashed in my opinion. I'm gonna read some of the. I'm already stay.
Speaker 3:Yeah, great at staying, relevant.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna read some of the lyrics, because he can lay.
Speaker 3:Well, he, I was again lame, even when he's kind of cold. Yeah, partner up with the young up-and-coming blooming artists you know, and then you know, keep himself relevant.
Speaker 1:You know the song is Not good. I'm gonna read the lyrics and hence why I'm saying like he put that picture out. And they were and then the song is called slime you out.
Speaker 3:He's like I know the song.
Speaker 1:Here's my legs and you bitches really get carried away making mistakes. Then you begged me to stay, got me wigging on you like I'm arrogant, tay. You got my mind in a terrible place, I don't know. Okay, whipped and chained you like American slaves. Act like you, not kind of used to Sheridan states.
Speaker 3:I met the Nick on. I gotta finish the first.
Speaker 1:I met the nigga you thought Could replace. How were they? How were there ever even comparisons made? Bitch next time, I swear.
Speaker 2:Is this?
Speaker 1:I'm sliming you. Yeah, this is Drake's verse. It didn't even sound like him right now. Wait, wait, listen to this last, listen to this last. A bar bitch next time I swear on my mother grandmother's grave. I'm sliming you for the them kid choices you made. Play on words, slimming you out. Hey, this ain't the luck, the littlest, the Wow, this.
Speaker 3:I mean I never. I never particularly like Drake for his pin. I will say that he was just mad catchy.
Speaker 1:He's really good on war play, that which it was.
Speaker 3:He ain't got even top five pins for me right now, bro.
Speaker 1:Oh, of course not, but no what? But he's done better, and this song.
Speaker 3:That's crazy, like that's not the fact that that's Drake, first of all. So let me, now that I've heard some lyrics, let me give my answer. My initial response was it sounded kind of try hard cuz. It's like when it was slime you out, it's just like a semen references this, you know, and I'm doing it on purpose because the alliteration was sliming semen. I could say other words, but Okay. But now that I've heard the lyrics, bro, now I'm just straight up disappointed. Like right, it's, it Isn't that me it's. He'd say about three things in there that I think are just not okay. That's not good. I mean, let's move on, change up like American slaves.
Speaker 1:Yeah damn, it's very amateur.
Speaker 3:That's the only. This ain't even good yeah exactly that's crazy.
Speaker 1:All right, so yes.
Speaker 3:I'm mad too, halley shit. How are they gonna?
Speaker 1:did he in the love album did he came out with an album for those that were unaware and Did he who I think his other aliases, brother love? He say don't come he did, he come me the name of the album is called the love album. Colon off the grid. And when did this drop? I get this dropped this past Friday, okay and you knew this, I listen. Yeah, I mean, I'm a diddy connoisseur.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, my friends do call me that they're diddy, but the album is great.
Speaker 1:I've gave it like three, four spins since it's came out. First spin I was like okay, second spin I was. I was glued and I was like this is going to keep us entertained for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1:At least people that appreciate good engineered music, music that is Intent for thought about like, yeah, and he has a myriad of of a list. R&b Singers from so many different generations, baby faces on here John legend, ty Dalla, science way, lee, fabulous. Jack Weas I mean fabulous is a rapper, but he has his new artist, jossie and she is Is just a very talented individual.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she's part of the community, I believe. Look how I thought when I heard the sounds Right, but then when I saw her, she's like a Sid from the.
Speaker 1:She's more like a young in May. Yeah, oh, I've been saying they would see it, I was listening to Matt and she got a pin. It's a group call. She got a. She got bars too.
Speaker 3:But yeah, I was listening, man, and then I seen she's like, oh shit, that's what it is.
Speaker 1:But Jossie, is I like that but let me get into, like the the top five Performers right that were featured on this album, and I'm a go in order to, as of right now, her.
Speaker 3:She she.
Speaker 1:She closes out the album the album vocalist is a beautiful journey. You need to listen to this album from start to finish.
Speaker 3:Wait, how many you want top? How many?
Speaker 1:is 23 songs and the runtime for the album is an hour and 23 minutes. Okay, I so just for the listeners.
Speaker 3:So you don't feel no way. I had no idea this was a thing in the making. I never heard about this shit till today, when JT told me right before we lit the mics up. So yeah her I need to listen to. I don't.
Speaker 1:Justin Bieber. He did exceptional on his song yeah Ty Dalla sign, he was featured on this on the album two times.
Speaker 3:He's really talented bro.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, he writes, he produces and he sings his ass off. But he is in the top three and he's on a song with Coco Jones and Jossie. And then number four, I would have to give it to Jasmine Sullivan she did her thing and and and but. The thing that I love about Jasmine Sullivan is that.
Speaker 1:Lines Tigers been not only is she the most talented vocal one of noted, arguably the best singer out there in our time right now, but she also has songs that match her voice right. That was like my biggest thing with Beyonce. Like Beyonce's is one of the greatest singers of all time, but sometimes the song, the production, doesn't match how talented her voice is. Is what I'm saying. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like so, like this last album, we're not gonna get into that, but I said yeah, Jasmine, with the talent matches and the talent vocal matches, the talent production.
Speaker 3:So whoever, she's working with. I mean you gotta give her some. She can run on like she got a.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean and then and then. The fifth spot is Jacquees. I mean that dude, just, he always gives a hundred percent in all the songs that he does.
Speaker 3:I mean I'm gonna have to, I'm gonna have to see you gotta give this a spin around you and and people in the immediate cipher. Y'all be talking about Jacquees. I don't listen to Jacquees like that, but it's not because I have any opposition to well, he homie did turn me up. We used to my huge King R&B.
Speaker 1:Lady, this is the song with Jacquees. The song is called pick. You feature in fabulous.
Speaker 3:I think that phone up when you need me, baby yeah nah, like it sound like the pretty Ricky that's that's, that's. I think that's what I'm realizing with Jacquees. It's not that I don't like him, he just reminds me of an era of music yeah, I don't listen to regularly, only like when I'm trying to listen, practice making baby.
Speaker 1:His range is is incredible. You can go baritone and then he can go falsetto in a very short and like just the eight bar is crazy and the beat is fire. And then this is the her song. This is the her song. It sounds like Robert Glassberg produced it.
Speaker 3:I'm a damn near complete opposition. What we just heard, it's like very soul-tree yeah.
Speaker 1:This is the number one song and my and my for my pick, my number one pick from the as a takeaway from this album, it is something I would.
Speaker 3:I would listen to this over the Jacquees like as far as like in my regular.
Speaker 1:This is definitely in your wheelhouse. Yeah, bro, this is me. And then this is how the album opens up. It opens up with the dream.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I could, like I could do a lot things. It ain't make babies and drink coffee.
Speaker 1:I could do a lot of things, hey kind of sounds like Calvin Harris a little bit. But what is this? Is the opener? Is the opener caught? It brought my love. This is featuring the dream. Yeah this is the dream in herb Alper. Never heard of her. Yeah. Then it goes into like no, I didn't mean to play that song, this is jazzy.
Speaker 3:Oh, you just pretend to play the album.
Speaker 1:No, I'm not gonna play the whole album, but I'm just playing like some of the takeaways.
Speaker 3:Album review. I appreciate the jazzy. I never heard of her. I like.
Speaker 1:This kind of like sounds like some Wu Tang KS1 beat type shit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, playing with this sample, I can see this is her again reference.
Speaker 1:Now, this is like some Key sweat, like I'm gonna take you there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, they whispered in front of that book. Yeah, you're at, I'm on the way I'm on the way, did you page me?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like what you touched me right there. Hey yo hey, yo.
Speaker 3:And they got the pager going up to yeah, I need a little.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what a drop. Yeah, yeah, this shit the shit bangs. So yeah, y'all need to fucking tune into that man, but so like it opens up with energy, then it goes into like some East Coast bias type stuff, whatever featuring artists with you know in that area. Then he takes you into like the, the New Age R&B and then they transition into the old, give respect to like the Greats of R&B, like Mary J Blige, babyface, john Legend. There's a song that's dedicated to Kim Porter, his late.
Speaker 2:Bay, mother and wife. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:Yeah and then, and then it closes out with like with her. I mean. But yeah, it's way lead to this thing on on the album.
Speaker 3:I rock with sway. Yeah, my daughter loves the song.
Speaker 1:I wasn't fucking one of my first cuz. Like it was hard for me to take a guy that started out as rapping and then going into like the R&B Phil.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was like see you rap, since they early songs. I always liked him over slim Jimmy. I like slim Jimmy. But they bro they from where they from chat new to Mississippi or somewhere like that.
Speaker 1:I didn't know that. Oh, they from yo from Mississippi. Hey, yo man shut them up baby.
Speaker 3:I.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:But they from, they from the set bro.
Speaker 1:So people really think that I'm blowing up children and when I play that and then I don't know, but it just sounds crazy.
Speaker 3:This is not probably the way I would do that.
Speaker 1:You're the 100, real quick baby, all right, uh, and there's some other notable new. Are we still? A new piece of the news. Yes, uh, season the VMAs. We ain't got to talk about this since we know All right, talked about season the rock returned to the WWE.
Speaker 3:You saw that no, and I don't. You know how I feel about I don't. Where's that?
Speaker 1:man, this shit was crazy.
Speaker 3:Okay, so let's do this, let's do this. I'm with this. Okay, we call a little bit of an audible yeah, um, you talk about the WWE in the rock and it's. This will kind of be like a pring ding ding, like we'd speak our Vices. I guess you well, cuz it was a question I remember I saw that we had talked about, like you know what's something that you are really into that is kind of embarrassing, that other people probably aren't lucky For. You is definitely wrestling, because, bro, I don't watch that shit. I have not given a fuck about wrestling in at least 20 years and so when you talk about it, I'm. The only reason I'm interested in is because you, my nephew still talks about some times and he's like 21, 22.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't be bringing it up on this episode if I have an audible. No, you don't ever really.
Speaker 3:Talk about it in a recap. Like all I went to, I went to smack down, went to yeah wrestling. I went to an event. Then it's like, oh cool, that's a thing. The rock is the reason why I don't watch wrestling was at its peak in the 90s, in early 2000, so you talk about this, then I want to talk about something that's kind of like I want you to give you yeah, yeah or not, not, not wait your vice.
Speaker 1:Well, no, not vice, that's not the right, oh, just like it like Shit about, yeah, yeah, I don't know about that shit.
Speaker 3:They probably go fuck about that, but you do so as a prelude and.
Speaker 1:Preface this right before I play the audio again. The rock is the most electrifying athlete that came out of the out of the WWE the WWE right and so, and he hadn't wrestled or been made an appearance on WWE for some time and Pac-man Pat McAfee he's the kicker for what he was the kicker for the For the call wrestling now.
Speaker 1:No, well, he did have a wrestling match a couple of years ago, okay, but he is known for his talk show host on ESPN and he got like the biggest bag. Right now he's like one of the highest paid people and on ESPN for wow with a show on primetime television, but anyways, he can't. He made a return to the WWE and, you know, got into it with, like, this wrestler who was talking smack, and then this happened. You got a whole clip. I'm a listen, just listen to the difference.
Speaker 2:What that?
Speaker 3:means this is him yeah.
Speaker 1:Do you hear the pop?
Speaker 3:It's worth stating when I did this, when I did watch wrestling, the Rock was the king. The Rock is so close to Boston. Be remember that, man.
Speaker 1:And this when he walks out, you hear the audience even get louder. But hold on, listen to this part. When, when, when they hear the if you and they just this was just on a random. Yeah, they couldn't fucking believe it, dude like, because he okay. So the Rock is known as the people's champ. That was like his, his other alias right the rock. It was called the people's check, yeah he, yeah, he had the signature moves called the people's elbow. It was always just the people. I don't care.
Speaker 2:I went right.
Speaker 1:I don't know, rock doesn't care. He always speaks in in first person. Third person, third person I'm sorry, yeah, he's always. Every time he's talking about himself he's speaking a third person, and that's what made him like thoroughly entertaining arrogant.
Speaker 3:He's had a I bow.
Speaker 1:He was great on the mic like pause, but he was a great like. He just was great at speaking, public speaking, and very witty To a very lucrative film career which, I must say, just stayed in shape people who are listening are.
Speaker 3:I'll probably also thinking about right now. There's a bit of controversy with the rock and Oprah regarding their right now. Why what happened? Well, it's just like some question as to how genuine or how oh, oh him give me giving money to Maui right, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, since he he does have a Hawaiian background, it's like some moment background.
Speaker 3:Yes, like how much of that is really going to the people and like it's really being funneled into apparently some like entertainment.
Speaker 1:I don't know, but we talked about Dion Sanders and, coming in the same context, right how he went from a HBCU. Be there for like three years and then left. That's to go to a white school.
Speaker 3:That's completely.
Speaker 1:That's a different thing because but that's how we were looking at them. They were like bro, like we were you. We were writing on you, we were expecting you to get eight HBCUs.
Speaker 3:I think he did his job, I think homie did his job and but run that back.
Speaker 1:I did the rock not do his job by putting Hawaiians and Samoans on the map.
Speaker 3:No, bro, hey, oh no. That niggas is Bro. They had a whole wildfire crisis. They don't, so okay. So if I HBCU blew up and Dion Sanders was still there, we would expect be Dion to the same Wow the fact that you're trying to draw comparison to like they're very different things, but let me, let me just give you my perspective, maui.
Speaker 1:So climate change is real Contextually because in his name was Maui, and like Moana, exactly even more reason for this thing that in a more than what come on.
Speaker 3:The city, I mean the city, this, this island is not somewhere they usually is accustomed to having wildfires. This is not a place where there's something that they have like that maybe floods, maybe a tsunami, maybe every now and again, maybe a good storm, but a wildfire people burned. It looks like it. It looks it looks hard, it looks apocalyptic apocalyptic if you look at the pictures. So he was like this is not something that people just like oh you know, yeah, did he not do some already?
Speaker 1:What if? What if he anonymous?
Speaker 3:they need help right, and so he has. He made a video and did this whole campaign with him and Oprah and it came out yeah, we're gonna raise, I'm gonna contribute 10 million dollars to the fund. I don't know, you know I've been done a ton of research so you know I've looked into it enough so as to speak on it. But pretty much the fund that they're, that they're funding the money into, is a it's really like funding into a some other organization, and the problem is that a big percentage of the money people don't feel is going to the actual people Whereas and they're like.
Speaker 1:And then here's the thing Okay, they put up Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne the Rock. Johnson slam for asking working class they put up donations.
Speaker 2:They're like tomorrow everyone now.
Speaker 3:You can donate to this organization and you can help out right now. Oh, but they donated to million and donations, though, and then beg people for their own money, hard-earned money, when they are billion. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, 10 million is like a hundred dollars to them G I should be on say done that in the past to, so I don't know she gave mad money to Harvey.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but she also All the people to donate to and then provided like hey, here's the American Cross red number where you can donate, is it's not different like they're both in the same Same thing level?
Speaker 3:they are a list of different billionaires and she didn't beg Like it wasn't. Her main message was not hey, y'all come help Beyonce and donate money. Her main message, in fact, beyonce, do she? You even know? You even know, like, what she's done, right? Like her and jay have silently changed niggas live, but okay so how you take the devil here saying Everyone right now, you can give, you can go to his website and you can give your own money after they Distributed, I mean or displayed that they contributed money themselves.
Speaker 1:So, devil's advocate, I'm gonna stay on this other side of this right.
Speaker 3:That's the difference. What is the difference? They?
Speaker 1:think it could be more.
Speaker 3:They can, but they did let's just, let's say it's, let's say they get the same. I'll say they both gave ten meal. Yeah, cuz they're both billionaires, supposedly, right, allegedly. We don't know. I mean, we know when these people are rich, we know that ten meals, not a ton for them. Okay, okay, they give ten meal a piece both of them. Yeah, the difference is B did that and and ostensibly other things, or not. But she did not turn around then and say, and everyone else, come and give your Hard-earned money, because then what it looks like it's kind of cheapening the efforts, like why do you need they money when you have all the money?
Speaker 1:But you know, I'm saying there's, they want every they wanted to be a collaborative effort and they want. And then I think the what's being taken out of come. I could see if they didn't contribute anything and then just say, hey, y'all go. They donate, especially with the rock like.
Speaker 3:That's my people, their question. What is the money?
Speaker 1:I'm sure the rock has gone out there and done some, some sort of relief efforts. In Conjunction with how much? No?
Speaker 3:because you don't know. What do you mean? We do mean he's gone out and helped rescue babies out of. By what do you mean? I know he's done something more than the 10, even passing our water bottles are done so.
Speaker 1:I'm sure that he's he's visited the island of some sort, and how do you know that? I'm assuming, but what we do know is that he contributed ten million Dollars of his own money. Okay, yes, he could give more, but also, beyonce could have gained more during Hurricane Harvey and she's so little, didn't get any Back glass what about?
Speaker 1:they're only giving backlash because people want to want to make a narrative out of something, but the fact that we know how Oprah has given like and and and put herself at the forefront in the helm of of disastrous efforts Oprah and the rock whenever things have happened, even Kevin Hart we saw what happened in Florida when they got hit with it With their hurricane a couple of years ago and then her and then Kevin Hart was like I'ma put five million up and I challenge other celebrities to put their money.
Speaker 3:I see, okay, boom, hold on, stop Stop.
Speaker 1:Stop. I'm not trying to compare what Kevin Hart did to the rock. You're taking away the rock and Oprah are what have done.
Speaker 3:No this is what I'm doing. I'm gonna take the compress you just made that you're trying to run away challenge Celebrities versus come back.
Speaker 1:come back, I know what you're about to say Kevin challenges celebrities versus the rock challenging people.
Speaker 3:Everyday middle-class American nigga. We struggling too and you want us to give up? I mean, people should give their money if like, please, yeah, I think we want to help.
Speaker 3:Please, yes, help out if you have the, if you have extraneous funds, if you have the money in the means to help, please help when I say you shouldn't, but should your rich ass, billionaire ass, be asking normal Americans or not? Do like Kevin Hart, smart ass. That's why Kevin always wins in this whole rock versus Kev thing. It should he not say. Should you not say he didn't?
Speaker 1:win in the cheating.
Speaker 3:We, we. The rock is rock, even Mary the right, yeah, he never been no cheating scandal, so he's not gonna win.
Speaker 2:No, exactly when he would lose good Kevin to handle because it's all about who we like it's all about who we like we we don't want to like the rock and Oprah.
Speaker 1:For what reason? Right now, I love both of them. They're amazing, they contribute, they donated millions of dollars.
Speaker 3:You're running. What they did wrong was what they are. I will say this I won't say wrong what they could have done. Why haven't you? Donated what they could have done according to JT, what they could have done in my opinion. No, we should have, they have done enough taking the Kevin Hart route and said hey instead of saying hey, all you Hardworking American people you know should. It took your ass lower class.
Speaker 3:TV and said if hey, did they call? Did they call about? Did they call about? My sense? They charge, as hey, all of my hard-working, rich billionaire friends. You need to get your ass up and help these hard-working people, because we know that so many rich people have vested interest in Maui. There, bro, the a lot of that island is owned by, like, rich people, bro.
Speaker 2:Okay, have you heard?
Speaker 3:from people who are from there and what it looks like like. Yes, yes.
Speaker 1:I have, but okay All right so the rock came.
Speaker 3:So I understand.
Speaker 1:I understand the gripe they're upset because they're asking working-class citizens.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:I understand the the. I Understand just didn't feel it good like it wasn't good. Yeah, it didn't read well, but I Don't necessarily see that they've already helped. Yeah, that's the thing. So that's why I shouldn't be taking out a contact.
Speaker 3:We can't, we don't that piece that's the other part that has been drawn to question how much of that Tim meal has actually gone to the people.
Speaker 2:There's a good fucking matter, it's 10 mil to the effort to the relief effort.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, that's the point.
Speaker 1:Let's, let's, let's say how you have to question all nonprofits at this point. No, yeah yeah, which is why I don't donate anymore.
Speaker 3:The 10 mil. What if only two mil went to the actual people?
Speaker 2:That's the American Red Cross every day.
Speaker 3:Is that okay? Is that okay to you? No, that's why I stopped donating agree, I will never.
Speaker 1:yes, exactly, we are definitely on the same boat. I'll take it a step further and and I even I hate that I'm even no.
Speaker 2:I'm not gonna bring that story.
Speaker 3:I'm not even gonna break. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:It was. That was a dope twist. Hey, they kind of mad at this guy and and I'm glad that I brought it up because I wasn't aware of that Just like how you weren't aware of, did he in the love idea. Then spider-man 2 is coming out on the ps5. This looks like the greatest video game ever made.
Speaker 3:I won't go that far.
Speaker 1:Have you played spider-man? I've played and you beat it. You play both of them.
Speaker 3:I played my daughter and my wife to do this was, though I used to let jewel. She got the hang of the game mechanics and she was swing to the mission.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I would.
Speaker 3:Occasionally, you know how you're swinging to whatever mission or, and then it like some Activity, some crime event will pop up and then, oh shit, as a robbery, you're right in the middle of a turf war between rocks on or whatever. Yeah she was like she's shooting at her and she went oh daddy, I beat him up in the show. Yeah, you swing it, but yeah.
Speaker 1:I just like the swinging part of the violin part.
Speaker 3:I'll be the original. The miles morale is joint, so I'm gonna have the game, I was beating the brakes off of the villains.
Speaker 1:Bro, I might buy a.
Speaker 3:PS5 just for that game. So it does look thoroughly into. Yeah, you can fly around the city in your way we squirrel whip wing suit, which is the one thing that I probably won't ever do in life is a.
Speaker 1:There's two things that I probably will never do. Paragliding is a paraglide and. Paraglide is the one like that paper airplane shit and you're hanging on the bar, right? I would never do that and I would never do the squirrel fly the wingsuit, the wingsuit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but you can do that in the game Now. Years of training to do that type of shit, bro.
Speaker 1:Listen, man. And then they have up to over 200 different custom outfits that you can do?
Speaker 3:you can change colors of the.
Speaker 1:F, you can do instant change.
Speaker 3:It's gonna be like you can swap between Peter Parker Yep, oh you look.
Speaker 1:I'm sitting here, thought I was gonna be surprised.
Speaker 3:Resort issues to say drop the the teaser trailer back last year, some shit.
Speaker 1:All right, let's get into real quick. Oh okay, oh yeah, yeah, you didn't give your take on your vice on the WWE. Right, I'm not the WWE, but what? What's your embarrassing?
Speaker 3:You're guilty right here. It gets you pleasure, right. That's what it's not really like an embarrassed, it's kind of a good to pleasure. Yeah that's what I say. I don't think you're maybe embarrassed by WWE, but it is something other people don't really I used to Fuck about.
Speaker 1:I used to pee because everybody make funny me. No, no, I mean, I still am like damn. I still I might crack a joke on you every night again.
Speaker 3:But I see how, how much you like, how that brings you joy.
Speaker 1:I don't it doesn't even bother me at this point. Yeah, I'm like, I like what I like, nigga, I got a cat. I got a carry-on cabinet, right here standing across from me, full of Over 300 action figures.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and.
Speaker 1:I brag about it. And then now it's to the point where the people who used to make fun of me back in growing up are now Admiring.
Speaker 3:They're like I just love that you're unapologetically, you, you always have, you've never changed right there, because I've been a comic nerd Is I mean, I've been a nerd forever, yeah, but like a cool nerd.
Speaker 1:What's your, what's your advice?
Speaker 3:I'm gonna stick right here for a second, cuz you tell my spider-man Comic books right, so I'm gonna just real quick. It's kind of like news types last some shit I'm interested in, did you know? So, okay, we know. Right now we live in the era of the, the big budget Hollywood like superhero blockbuster. We live in the age of superhero movies and Specifically as it's fading right now.
Speaker 1:I mean, people are fucking so as the show as defined by Marvel, the MCU, really.
Speaker 3:So it was really like if I had to follow this trend. It was like, you know, of course, dc had some early successes with, like the old, the old Superman where, oh, buddy, what's his name? He's like oh, henry Cavill no, even before that way back. And I'm talking about oh, buddy, who's in the west?
Speaker 1:Oh, not, not Batman, I'm not Batman, but like I can't think of a name, oh, yeah, he like he used to be Superman. He's Superman. No, I know his name, bro.
Speaker 3:I hate Superman, so that's why I don't I put anyway like that early film was like the original Superman was like hit the glow curl and hit the Blue Spandex super, anyway. That was like an early success. Then they had success like the Batman's Um, what's his name? The one, the Tim Burton backman, and all those, all those old Batman's. The Batman, oh, george, reeves, reeves, reeves. Yeah, is it George? It's not George.
Speaker 1:It was the very first Superman.
Speaker 3:So yeah. Oh, christopher, christopher Reeves I know George Reeves, but Christopher Reeves, christopher Reeves, superman bro, like so that are like the early era superhero movie owned. I mean, dc owned that, right. Okay, then it was like a twist. We got some then in the two early I don't know where you're going early 2000s we got like the X-Men and Sam Rangers, spider-man and even before that we got on blade, which really paved the way for all the. That was highly successful.
Speaker 2:It was in use of. Let's give him, yeah, let's give him props, oh yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, man, his props. So, like we have, we saw the evolution of the superhero movie right, and then we got Iron man right, which paid way for the entire MCU. Okay, boom. So I Agree that they have beat this whole genre into the ground. This is coming from somebody who loves them.
Speaker 1:I love coming right back when they bring X-Men in so crazy.
Speaker 3:No, I mean, I think there's a lot of exciting shit they're doing, but my point is this fatigue, even for a person who I love shit and JT, you know me if a Superhero movie comes out, to the point now like I'll go to the move by myself to watch them up and thoroughly enjoy it. There's movies that come out that I did not see in theatrical release because I'm like I, I'm, I just was good, like so I just was good.
Speaker 3:So like, for instance, flash came out, I didn't. I didn't see flashing at the end. So what should good see pleasure. Then I'm gonna get to it. I'm walking through this because I'm gonna tell you about this some news I'm gonna tell you about right now. But I got to give you this because, where we are, I agree, I think people are tired of the traditional format, myself included. They have. I mean now this freaking shows that are shot like Superhero movies. There's a million super. The blue beater just came out. I still haven't seen it. I plan to, but like we're, they're killing us like this. That's all that you see.
Speaker 1:That's not why you haven't seen it. Why haven't I seen it? Because he's the first Mexican superhero.
Speaker 3:That would be a reason for me to see it.
Speaker 1:I would, yeah but but you, you ran for spider-man, but you didn't run for this and there's a reason. Like no, like we're not interested, not everybody needs to be a superhero. So like no here's my thing.
Speaker 3:I'm more interested, bro, blue beetle is not even in my top and not exactly he, but it has nothing to do with all Mexican issues, because I think it's the blue blue be, they made blue be. Don't, I'm gonna say they made it look interesting but I didn't go. I didn't run to the theater. Go see Guardians of Galaxy come like a fucking raccoon and a tree man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but that movie was coming, wasn't banging back then it had like a quote following was not.
Speaker 3:It was not a top tier, no, and they made that a top tier Movie like it all depends on the person.
Speaker 3:Who's that's a household name. Now People know baby Groot and, like my daughter knows it is, and I'm like bro defect. Okay, you know who Groot is. So They've they've done a great job of like taking B list, c list characters and making them blockbusters. You never heard no moon night before they made a show out of it. A lot of people not you, I'm saying the world I've never heard of him as a character, so why?
Speaker 1:should I care about?
Speaker 2:it yeah so I?
Speaker 3:blue beetle is cool. I liked him in a young justice and all that, but I'm not running to the theaters as compared to spider-man. Spider-man is one of my top characters, like maybe top two. He's one of my favorite characters as a kid. I love spider-man, every variation of him. I've been following him for years. I can name characters that I've spawned, like this, some characters I've been following I've been in love with forever, right Blue Beatles. Not one of them. That's why I didn't run okay.
Speaker 1:Think a flash was lame. We're going like five minutes.
Speaker 3:Flash and Aquaman used to be lame when I was coming up, so like I didn't run to see flash it was cool, whatever. But here's my thing the age of the typical superhero movie I do agree with you, I think is dying out. I think people want a bit of a pivot, and superhero movies back in the day were not all Big blockbusters. You know. They had like Dick Tracy and Howard the duck. They had other off-shoot movies that were based on comic books that people didn't know. One of the ones that I used to love From back in the day in the 90s was actually based on a comic book called the crow. Have you seen the crow? No, okay, dope movie the cross like a gothic, it's like a dark kind of movie.
Speaker 1:I like like werewolf by midnight or something. Well, it's not like, oh like spawn kind of spawnish.
Speaker 3:Yeah yeah, it's like a gothic, feels like very dark, kind of horror-inspired in a sense. But the movie's called the crow came out, like I said, in 90s but it's always had this kind of like that's a cult following. But I was had this kind of shadow over it because of the circumstances by which the movie it was an an orthodox type, it was a different take on. It was like a dark superhero movie that wasn't.
Speaker 1:Bright colors, big budget, all that like a blade was yeah, similar the first Marvel movie is ready to our Remember the character's backstory.
Speaker 3:It's like a things like a rock star who got killed, I don't remember, but it was like a redemption story, kind of like spawn. He comes back to life. He gets killed, comes back to life and he's like hunting down bad guys, pretty much as a hero called the Crow. He has like a pale face with like he looks like sting. Yeah the wrestler sting. He looks exactly like sting. Like sting is the crow bro.
Speaker 3:I love he stole, his shit from the crow. He's completely jacked that, nigga Steve. So the crow came out. Do you know who the actor who played the crow is? No, his name is Brandon Lee. Okay, you know. Brandon Lee is Bruce Lee's son. Oh, he was an up-and-coming star at the time. The reason you have not heard of Brandon Lee and the reason he's not like a really big budget modern-day Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee, is because Brandon Lee died at an early age Filming the movie called the crow. Yeah, he was shot with the prop gun. Oh, he died making that film, and so the film released.
Speaker 1:I don't know, kind of like what's. I'm calling it the actor that sends some shit right now. Not Ray Leona, because rest in peace of.
Speaker 3:Ray Leona, I like.
Speaker 1:I like Baldwin, I like Baldwin, I like Baldwin is in some bullshit right now. Oh yeah, because he shot somebody, yeah he shot the prop gun. People like they yeah but yeah, but that's the same way. Yeah, same shit. This is.
Speaker 3:Bruce Lee son. Bruce Lee son was, yeah, an American boy. He was an actor. He doesn't look like that's. He was mom's wife, so he's, you know he's, oh, but okay, oh, she's biracial, but Bruce Lee had a son. Yes, and he was um. He was an actor who also, you know, did martial arts and he was up in common.
Speaker 1:Bro Was yeah this dude looks just like he. Looks like he ledger and sting.
Speaker 3:Yeah, bro. He ledger as thing that's that movie was I mean for nominal I've seen in years, but I remember like they were able to finish it after he got correct. Yes, we'll body doubles and shit. You know movie magic. But here's the thing is crazy. They are coming back out, they're all there in a rendition of it and guess who's playing sting. I'm sorry. Oh Guess is playing the crow. Can you play a crow?
Speaker 1:Jerry, let, oh, no.
Speaker 3:The person that I'm about to name. I think he better than let oh scars guard the guy who played it. Oh, the little scrawny white guy, I don't really care. Face, oh you crazy He'll. He gonna make a great crow, what?
Speaker 1:and then he played your into horror too, he played, he played it.
Speaker 3:Oh, I'll say it he played Pennywise and he didn't. He played. Uh, what's his name? Valkyrie, whatever his name is from strange. Did you watch stranger things?
Speaker 1:No, yeah, why you're into all of that like bizarre, like aliens.
Speaker 2:Yeah cuz shit that you're into yeah, I'm not into any of the shit like hellraiser and all that.
Speaker 3:No, I wouldn't be my favorite. Oh which, we go October's right on the corner. I'm definitely gonna be talking about shit, but yeah, who's your favorite villain?
Speaker 1:but we'll get into that.
Speaker 3:Um, scars guys gonna play him and I think it's gonna be great. They're rebooting it and it gonna stay true to the whole Kind of dark gothic feel. I don't remember who the director is.
Speaker 2:Oh, so that's your guilty pleasure.
Speaker 1:Is. Is you being into that?
Speaker 3:I just named all the shit you have no idea about horror movies and comic books, and this is the marriage of those two things. I'm very excited it comes out in 2024.
Speaker 1:Sanders is the director. Yeah, I don't. I don't screenplay by Zach Balin, I don't by. Edward are a person. I don't remember his name, but I remember the star and Bill scars Some of the shit he did.
Speaker 3:Yeah, scars guys. I think he's a good pick for the movie that you heard black. He's already a creepy kind of looking face, but he don't do like kung fu that dude was like you have a picture already of Just like man.
Speaker 1:Maybe you just know that it's gonna. I just know it's gonna be him, yeah.
Speaker 3:But um in 2024 and they stopped shooting, like last year Also, it's done, it's done. Production. It's just no post production. It's locked in post-production because it is strike right now. Ah.
Speaker 1:Just like how freakin blade and a couple other movies craven redlock because of I mean getting people name money dead bull to get money. Yeah, give them name, hey, man pay these actors and play these fucking writers so that we can get our entertainment back like I think that Yo brand. They got bro they can afford this stuff. Oh, you tell my Hollywood? Yeah, I just paid them the panel people have the money.
Speaker 3:They have the money, it's not that I can see.
Speaker 1:I can see the other side, why people have been up like how they're upset with the rock in Oprah. I can see why they're upset with actors. They're like just really get another fucking job like other regular Working-class citizens.
Speaker 3:Crazy to me.
Speaker 1:I don't like, I don't feel bad for Billy Porter Putting house house on the market and having to sell his house, because I know exactly that's a passion.
Speaker 3:I had one.
Speaker 1:We're telling people that they work with, telling people that are great and Notable for their passion to go get a regular working-class citizen job Like that was their.
Speaker 3:Job like their job yeah, I know, because what that's?
Speaker 1:not. I see their point, but I also don't agree with their point. I'm like hey, I get it and I respect it, but I don't care about your opinion Cuz we need a, yo Draco needs yeah. I've heard it.
Speaker 3:I've heard people say I want to hear what I like. Yeah, we should.
Speaker 1:We should definitely holler him because I'm like so curious about Let me see, let me give him a call, let me see if he not this exact moment in life, we didn't have a show again because I'm just very curious about, like what's runtime?
Speaker 3:What are we looking like?
Speaker 1:Who gives the fuck, because this is uh this is our episode, an hour 41, so we go for my stomach ground.
Speaker 3:Don't just ignore it a little bit. I all I had was a smoothie for lunch. I tried to feed you before not that means we need to wrap up soon, cuz yeah. Let's see, I don't know how he's gonna feel about being here.
Speaker 1:Is a publicist no, we just get his thoughts on it. I'm sure he's probably been invited to things.
Speaker 3:Yeah, which one?
Speaker 1:All right all right, all right, all right, three rings and I hang up, but whatever, that's the JT rules.
Speaker 3:But now I am curious, and I mean I know he listens, so I am genuinely interested in first learning, like I understand what the strike is for of our demo research, but like how it feels being on that side of things. I've not had a job in an industry where they were well, yes, I have they've. They've been Dickens people in every industry for all its graphic designers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was like cuz creatives?
Speaker 3:they did creatives all the time. They underpaid designers all the time. Like so you would? You wouldn't even feel bad for them, but I'm thinking like I don't know about no union for like what maybe there is, but like I've, I've never been a job they had. They were where I was unionized and like people organized and say you know what?
Speaker 1:We're gonna strike because of y'all not paying us well, maybe that's why Hollywood is holding out so long on the act that's what they're doing, because they're just like we're gonna wait y'all out and we want to send y'all. Send a message that we don't respect or care about the Union, because we can, you know well, you know, there's a historic, there's a historic beef.
Speaker 3:I guess I'm like falling on with, with, like with the companies, with with industry and with how do I say this like with unions and with the companies themselves.
Speaker 1:That's a shoot the writer strike was supposed to last only three months. Tail bro, they said get ready for at least a three-month strike, or not at least a three-month strike, but a three month.
Speaker 2:I've never went through nothing like that.
Speaker 1:That's and that's for this to backfire, and now it's like six, seven months.
Speaker 3:This is this they knew. Like it's like, when you go to war, you know Nick is gonna die.
Speaker 1:It's just a no yeah.
Speaker 3:But they know starting to strike, that this strike could last much longer than three months. But here's the thing that was getting messed up is that certain actors are not starting to take jobs.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And that's, and that's what Hollywood wanted to point out. They're like let's see how strong, like there's something that a sanction.
Speaker 3:like you can do this job, you can do this commentary, you can do this reality TV or whatever outside cuz you know, outside of this cuz the studio you're working on, they're not it whatever, they're not union, they're not a part of the union or whatever the case may be. But like there are people who are taking jobs, I think, like I heard most recently, they have beef with people on soap operas because they were still showing up to work filming a soap opera, getting a bread, despite the strike.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all the people that like to watch a day television. Why, everybody's? At work days, all those seniors citizens that are watching the soap opera.
Speaker 3:They got a community Stories.
Speaker 1:We gotta get to our people. The people are calling.
Speaker 3:So or they try they gotta get today. Bread is what I think it really yeah they got a guy. They were like we gotta, we gotta entertain our family. Yeah, you're right cuz this mad actor right now who really loved their fans. You know they was trying to get their money because they gotta go back to work.
Speaker 1:Let's get into the highlight topic real quick, because we might carry this into a, a part two possibly, all right, so I wanted to title this section of the episode Is there more? Because, as I was alluding to with, with the Boston recap, right, I left there. I was there for a week, just surrounded by love and forward-thinking people and Advancement in technology, investment in ideology, advancement in in collaboration, but a traditional sense of appreciation.
Speaker 1:Okay and as I was on the flight back home, I just started getting saddened because I'm like dang back to reality of where I'm at in friendships and in Not my personal relationship With Sam and in Keiko, because they're the highlight of my life, but but all my other relationships, my relationships with family and my relationship with friends it doesn't feel like I thought that I had reached them, that there was, that when I'm experiencing with my friends and family right now is unconditional love. But then I went and got a taste of even more of that in Boston by, by people that I barely even know and See how, everybody's, how that community.
Speaker 1:So you're saying beyond the work, like when I was just roaming the streets and walking in Boston, I just saw love all around me. Oh, okay, and that, and maybe it's something like in that city. I mean, I know before I even take your ass on Boston, go to the East Coast, bro. No, oh, you said move to the East.
Speaker 3:Coast. You just need. That's what you belong. Well, look.
Speaker 1:I mean like, and I've been, this episode.
Speaker 3:I've been around.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I know, man, but and, but that's the thing.
Speaker 3:a lot of people, a lot of my friends, have always bashed how much I appreciate the East Coast you you really like the vibe, the feeling, because it's funny, when I go to East Coast the last thing I feel when I go down there is Friendliness. You exactly the stereotype with that's feeling. I was like with.
Speaker 1:The stereotype associated with With the East Coast is that they're rude and very vulgar and and just strong personality and. Unvent, uninviting right, and it's really not any of that.
Speaker 3:I don't know, yeah, so.
Speaker 1:I was expecting that, though, when I stepped foot, I was like all right, let me get prepared to. You know, deal with a lot of rigid people.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And this is like my fifth time being in Boston in men like and I'm not just, I haven't only just seen like the corporate side or like the upscale side of Boston, I've been in the trenches and stuff. I've had people that are natives there that are like, yeah, trenches, like they're taking me to Providence, they're taking me like to that the alleys in the back ways or whatever where it's like real rugged.
Speaker 3:Everywhere has a hood, right? Yeah, like I know. I know anybody from Boston who was like from hood.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know what that looks like but um, but I, I posted on Instagram, like letting everybody know that I was in the town and I got so much love from people that are From there, that live here or somewhere in Texas, oh, and and just was met with so much love as I was, as I stepped foot in the city, and it was by people that weren't even there, that I have only met like one or two times in life. Okay, and so I was met with that love, and then I was met with love from the people and we, we, the, my co-workers and everybody that was part of the work summit. Right, our majority of the people are from places outside of Boston and the East Coast. They're from all over the States and from the UK, because we're worldwide, right, but um, but we match the aesthetic and the vibe and the personality of the city because we were met with love as well and and we just kept building on that.
Speaker 1:And then on top of that it contributed to like what are like our purpose in our tent there, and so Just was seeing love all over its place like kind of like where did? He is right at right now. We think it's like hilarious, is just like alright, there's niggas changing his name for the fifth time and he's embracing and trying.
Speaker 1:He's probably got some shit coming out and he's trying to you know, promote that and whatnot, and hence why he has the love album. But why can it just be like us being happy for where he is in life right now and him indulging into a new Light of? Mentality and experience right.
Speaker 3:What took me by I'm gonna say surprised, what kind of took me aback, was when you said you feel as though it felt like unconditional love.
Speaker 1:You felt from complete a new, like I thought that I had experienced many like, I guess, all of all realms and pockets of love.
Speaker 3:But I experienced this new love and I'm like whoa, wait a minute like this I thought I had conquered love and I'm wondering if his love or like, if it's something else, if his admiration yeah, admiration that it may be that and it was like all of us Admired, like this from yeah but I just hadn't, I hadn't really experienced that or felt that by the people here, by majority of the people here, like I felt that from you, okay, I felt that from where you're right, like, like okay, I'm like why am I not met with this?
Speaker 1:and I don't, I don't want to expect to meet, like everybody that I meet here in Houston and in the Texas and just in the South in general, like we have a stereotype associated with us, the southern Hospitality right, where we say hi and good morning to everybody and we see somebody put off down the road and then you see people, you know, getting out their vehicles and trying to help somebody change the tire and whatnot.
Speaker 1:That still exists today. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about I just kind of like feel like the love is drawing out or has met its limit with my.
Speaker 1:With like all, all tears of friends right like my, my close circle, my, my associates, the people that I was really close with in the past and we're not necessarily on that level, but it's still like love, but I'm just like dang, like I feel like that, me being there, I was like that felt unlimited versus here it doesn't feel limited, but it was limited. I mean it doesn't feel it doesn't feel unlimited.
Speaker 1:Yeah it is extremely right and I'm just not met with the same same energy and I've kind of almost feel like I've been under unappreciated for.
Speaker 3:It's funny. I'm Laughter because I know what you're describing and I know why you feel that way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cuz I know you we talked about it off the pod, yeah, but even now I kind of just got a different.
Speaker 3:Kind of a cuz again we are.
Speaker 1:We talk about let's talk about how I want to approach it now.
Speaker 2:Contextually.
Speaker 3:I understand. I understand so, real quick, let me just give you this my reaction to hearing that so and I have a question for you to Kind of go into this conversation.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we probably have to. We probably, yeah. Yeah, we'll wrap it up, yeah.
Speaker 3:Okay, so real quick, just hearing this. So tizzle, I know my boy tizzle, tizzle. When we write tizzle story, tizzle is gonna be the main character in history, in mine, years and years and years too. Right, because You're a person who commands attention, both because I think it feels good and you like it. And I mean I'm a person too. I like being on stage, I like those things. It's nothing wrong with that. I mean, we're talking on a microphone to strangers right now, for fun, you know. So we like that. Yes, you like that. That's the thing that you enjoy. But also, I think that is so. It's a. It's a, it's a want, maybe a part of a need, but it's also something that, even if you didn't Wanted to need it, you get it just because of who you are. I've seen you in a room.
Speaker 1:It's gonna happen, it's going and I don't expect people to exude the same energy.
Speaker 3:I'm going to room and and not to be met with Attention or some sort of maybe enthusiasm or something like that. Right, it's gonna happen, I love it. I love when I go to a kickback and I walk in a room and I'm usually gonna be late and is a. I love it, it's the thing. So Boom, right, and vice versa. When my homies come is like, I make that moment for everyone else, like that's a good feeling, right? So let's put that into a box now. Okay, you are the age that you are doing what you do and I'm wondering how many of those you say you feel it less from the people around you.
Speaker 1:Okay, that's, that's another part of it. All walk in all tiers of friendship and family, family and friends for sure, and so that's, that's that.
Speaker 3:I just want to keep it there now. Boston you go to Boston for like a weekend, a week, something like that, let's say somewhere around this isn't the first time I've been there too, so that's very important to highlight in this show for show. But you go there now and you have this beautiful experience. I mean, you come back with some dope fashion. You see the city, you turning up, you having fun, you're feeling admired by your peers, I mean, and the people of the city and the people of the city.
Speaker 3:I'm showing you mad love, right? And you're also a charismatic guy, I'm sure if you walk around and it's not many black people walking around as well, and Was there. David was there, like you're already, lake in sea of salt exactly, and so of course I mean bro, yes, so I mean you, which you?
Speaker 1:would expect, like the stereotype associated with that is, we get strange looks and we get Met with disrespect or everybody inviting on unwelcome me.
Speaker 3:I've been in places like that though, like New Jersey, you know but and in the same hello, because that's even interesting, because even there I went with you on base and I watched yeah, I watched people stand up. Attention to salute you. Hello, because of the right. They respected the right, but I but otherwise they probably you know me, so I see what you're saying, like it's just weird thing.
Speaker 3:But so you're in Boston, you get all this admiration from people. I saw the pictures of you at the roaring 20s party looking like a mafia boss, random and that's the thing that the decade that they chose to the roaring 20s, which highlighted black excellence and black success. That's not air right, exactly mafia era. It's like it was everybody there right, but they played a lot, duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong.
Speaker 1:They were playing that music. They will Check it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I got the visual, but yeah, I guess what I'm saying is I don't know that they chose that era because I mean it's be great to highlight black people.
Speaker 2:It just no. Yeah, I also had a great era for us, right.
Speaker 3:So you're sitting there and I'm watching this. See this cacophony of Caucasians, Cacophony okay. Caucasians just another vocabulary behind you right, and everybody looks so enthused to be around you. I must say I saw the photo too and, yeah, it looked like a great time it didn't see any other me grows around.
Speaker 1:I will see any, and I posted a myriad of my experience throughout the whole.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I was peeping on IG so I didn't see any other African Americans. I will say, and if they were, they probably weren't on your level of leadership or wherever you sit. No, I'm the only leader so okay, boom, there you go. And that explains the pictures I saw, because there was no in the little remotely like JT around.
Speaker 1:We have one other black guy on the team, but he's on. He's the like the lowest ranked person On the team he gets y'all's coffee.
Speaker 3:So, okay, just came. We love you brother, yeah, trust him. And so here's the thing when we look at this, this moment in time just captured this moment in time you had.
Speaker 2:Oh, I just picture watch.
Speaker 3:I dig it, bring your homes on there, Invictus right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, invictus, match the hat. And so when we look at this moment in time when you're like I dig it. Man, I had this great experience with these people who was showing me mad at you know love and Admirations and I, from what I saw, it did look to be a good time, and I do. From what you tell me, it lines up with the I can. But what are you saying? What are you saying that I'm doing? You had this concentration of this concentrated packet of Flavor in this, in this one experience, and now I'm holding people to that same regard.
Speaker 1:Come a home expecting this Like you said no, I'm not expecting, I'm not expecting that people to do that.
Speaker 3:Oh you have a flavor packet, but then you have a people who have a bathtub of experience with you and you want this flavor packet from them Right now and you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1:No, no, you're misspeaking on on what I when, I'm, when I'm wondering.
Speaker 3:I'm just saying you, I don't want anything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I haven't felt that from them ever Like and and there are exceptions like giant well of experience with them. There are exceptions of people. Okay, I gave this analogy before yeah, I know, I yeah, yeah, yeah, but but that's how you're understanding it, but that's not what I'm trying to communicate. Like, I'm not expecting people to give me that love, that same love, but I went up there surrounded by Darian's, by Dino's right, and here there's only one, dino.
Speaker 3:Okay, yeah, there's only one, dino, there's only one people. You are, yeah, the type of people that I was around away, exactly, and I'm like you're reassessing, like wait a minute, man right.
Speaker 1:I've been looking at love wrong, oh well, well, well, I've been looking at love limit and admiration in a limited capacity, and I needed to know that I there's, there's so much more other ways that you can feel relationships. There's a I. Okay, I tapped into a new you, just a new realm and dimension of love and and and admiration I see what you're saying and appreciation.
Speaker 3:So yesterday's conversation, plus this right here, just made me understand.
Speaker 1:Yes, I tapped into a whole new. You need to build additional.
Speaker 3:No, for real. Yeah, you need. So I see what I need more white friends, more Indian friends more Asian friends. This is what I need friends in rich places in low places and medium places.
Speaker 1:Yes, I thought I had tapped into all of that. I thought I did because I've met a lot of those people in them, in the military.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was disappointed. I'm like yo.
Speaker 1:I'm like so now I'm gonna go to different areas, and this makes me want to travel the world even more in your relationship pool bro. That is. My goal in life is to travel the world and get more love. I want to experience All three of those. No, no, no, I want to. I want to travel the world to get that love spread to me. Oh, damn, that's not worse yet why?
Speaker 1:you want to explore about it. I want to experience it. Okay, you want to touch life. I know you want to touch more life and rock and water and be forest In vegetation slime be slimed like with love around the world. Sure what, what happened?
Speaker 3:Done me the world to shower me with love.
Speaker 1:That's what I want.
Speaker 3:I think what you're, what you're just what I'm, what I'm understanding, like kind of beyond that.
Speaker 1:I'm about to. I'll grow. A lot of people is.
Speaker 3:I think I think a part of it, bro. I've lived on apologetic me.
Speaker 1:Sorry, but not sorry. But yes, that's the salt in this, oh you need to this is not trying to conflate the two.
Speaker 2:But I'm kind of changing. I'm saying yesterday, no, no, no.
Speaker 3:I'll see it without what I kind of understood it yesterday. I'm kind of tweaking a little bit. I don't think it's even like pruning season necessarily. This is a different chapter in the book. Right now, this is something I have. I have creative colleagues that I could hit up and go grab a beer and it's a beautiful, it's a. It's a. It's a relationship that I have, yeah, with someone that's not a friend from college, a family member, a homie from Way back. I only know them from professional experiences and the admiration I get when they talk about me to other people. Oh, my man, cuz they see me in a different light. Then my family does. My family don't know what that. They know what I do, but like they don't really know what I do, bro, yeah, I know it's really see me do me and me doing me is is something worth admiring and you're gonna get surrounded, and then you're surrounded by people that do know what you would care about what you do, and that's really good and yeah and to, to.
Speaker 3:To want more of that is absolutely understand.
Speaker 2:Let me expel. I want more of that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so I need to create other experience. Well, I'm more like so, specifically in the creative space. Like I I've been saying this for a while I need to do more networking. I need to get, I need to go out and meet other people, build other relationship, other, other ties, other bridges and networks, specifically around what I do, because I know I do what I do well, but get this and I'm sure that, I'm sure, but, but, but.
Speaker 1:But there's always a group of people that no, no, no, no, I want to kill them though I'm not not kill them like you know, yeah, it's infallible, I'm not going to people and saying like, hey, our relationship is over. I'm just saying, like now, that I've tapped into this Because I'm gonna yearn for and want more of that.
Speaker 1:People here are going to pay the price for that and I'm not going to either yeah right and and out of sight, out of mind too, like, and so it ties a little bit into what I was saying too, where I think you thought I was going, where, like, I was gonna come back and expect that same love out of these people and demanded out of them. No, no, no, I'm not gonna see that, right, exactly but I want them to understand that, like we've reached the limit, right, but I'm ready to huh, okay, if you decide I don't wonder?
Speaker 3:I don't want to, I don't care to let them know.
Speaker 1:Oh, jt will let them know because they're JT didn't know. Oh, jt didn't know better.
Speaker 1:Now I'm like oh, I see this whole ex new Untrusted territory of love and admiration yeah now I'm gonna start going out and exploring more of that and in the meantime I can't spread myself around to like how I thought I could in the past, now exhausted myself. Now I'm going to spend less time in areas of places that I'm not appreciated as much as I would be in these other areas, and I'm not necessarily don't. I don't want our listeners to take this in a way of like I'm just bent disowning the black community because that's not what I'm saying. I know people can take things out of context. That's not what I'm saying and I know you don't get that Out of what I'm saying because you're at events, but there are people that are out there.
Speaker 3:Are you just saying about, niggas it to where? I would think that's just?
Speaker 1:I'm about to bring this around.
Speaker 3:This, the delusional, the delusional, hold on closing point that after you say this, that yeah, I want to touch the delusional, these the delusional.
Speaker 1:People that so happening me, my friends and family. I'm speaking to them. I'm not talking anybody specific, even though I have them in mind, but I will need to put this out there.
Speaker 1:Right, because nobody's gonna think that it's them right until they start seeing now they're like oh damn, it is talking about me. No, no, I'm not. I'm not gonna put any names out, but I Like the people that are the delusional. They have, you know they have. They have exhausted my admiration for them and me trying to pour energy into them, going traveling all over Texas and different places to go visit and spend time with them and whatnot, but it's not being received.
Speaker 1:They think that what they're doing, their amount of effort that they're putting forth in our relationship is the same amount that I'm putting into it, and it's not-.
Speaker 3:Okay, so you mean, like they have you higher on their list and you have them on yours.
Speaker 1:No, that's a little bit of what I'm saying, but what I'm also saying is that they're the reality versus fantasy, right?
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:Or delusion and reality.
Speaker 3:I'm walking with you, I'm trying to.
Speaker 1:So let's just use you and I as an example. You think, because I'm using you as an example of the people that I'm talking about, the delusion?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I'm delusional.
Speaker 1:the today Right you put in the reality? Is you actually pour in 30% into our relationship instead of?
Speaker 2:100-100.
Speaker 1:You actually pour in. You contribute to 30%. As far as you hitting me up, as far as you wanting to spend time with me, as far as you and I preach and that's your walk in life and that's the season that you're in, because you got all this other shit going on I pour in 100%. I make every effort to involve you, include you into things that I'm doing and whatnot, and you come to mind when we're about to go out or when we're about to go to Texas.
Speaker 3:Renaissance. So you're giving a high number, you're giving 30.
Speaker 1:But you think that you're giving 100.
Speaker 3:Ah, okay, but I don't know if that's delusional that might be. That is delusional because you think that you're giving 100 because based off of yeah, exactly to them.
Speaker 1:But reality is it's not 100. To you, no, no To them.
Speaker 3:it makes me think you're delusional If they're giving, if they're saying, bro, I'm giving all I got, I'm giving 100. What I think?
Speaker 1:is also what I know, but to you it feels like 30, but to them they're saying this is my 100, then that makes you delusional Most of the time when I'm saying I think that what I think and what I perceive to be is is based off of factual information. I do the facts and research. First. I research the facts and then I'm like, oh okay, so this is what I'm, what I thought is actually fact, or the thought forms after I've done the research, like oh, I'm curious to know how much I'm contributing.
Speaker 1:Let me look that up, and then I look it up and then I'm like I've been putting in a hunt, I've been putting in way too much effort and time. Time that I don't have. That could be well spent elsewhere.
Speaker 3:They're not doing that they are doing that.
Speaker 3:I feel you 100% and I think you can quantify. So when you say fact, you're talking about something you can prove. You can quantify the effort that you're putting, that you're putting into something and you can actually say look yo, I put this amount of time, this much effort, this much money, this much of my attention. I pour more in, I've poured this much of myself into this relationship. And then you look at this other person they've only given me half the amount of time, half the money, half the effort, half the attention.
Speaker 1:Let's not put percentage on that. I pour more into it than you do in our relationship. I pour more you pour what you feel like is 100%.
Speaker 3:Yes, and so like the amount of it, let's just take the percentage.
Speaker 1:Let's take the amount.
Speaker 3:You do a certain amount of time.
Speaker 1:You give 100 hours or the same amount that I do $100.
Speaker 3:plus all this, all of these things, they give $50. They give 25 minutes per week versus your 100 minutes or whatever.
Speaker 1:And you feel like that that's a lot in general.
Speaker 3:And to them though, to them that's the most that they got for you Right.
Speaker 1:So for you, whoever you are. But they think that that's the same amount of effort and it's not no.
Speaker 3:I think what they think is that that's well, maybe they like. The effort is what I'm talking about. They think that's adequate. They think that's adequate. They think that's adequate.
Speaker 1:No, that's adequate for them. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about what you can afford to give. I give more than what I can afford, oh so yeah, you can't expect that of people.
Speaker 3:Bingo, you can't expect that of people.
Speaker 1:But yeah, I know, and that's how I treat my relationships, and so now I'm at this point where I used to take it personal. I've done it and I'm not taking it personal, no more. I'm just like cool, I get that. Now I'm about to go give my effort elsewhere and you're going to feel disrespected because you're going to feel like something's changed because, out of sight, out of mind for me, I had. The same thing that you've been doing to me is what I'm about to now start doing, and it's going to look different and it's going to be noticeable.
Speaker 3:It's going to feel different too. But do you want them to feel I?
Speaker 1:do I do what if they don't? What if?
Speaker 3:they don't. If they don't, then cool. I'm great I've seen.
Speaker 1:JT in two years. I'm not going to say I'm never going to see them again, but I'm never going to make an effort and go out of my way to hang out with you again, so you would say that that worked, like your exercise work. I'm ready to leave that train behind and get on a new, faster speed train in Tokyo.
Speaker 3:I fully understand now what you're saying and I want you to get a first roll front seat to be like dang.
Speaker 1:Good for him but also bad for me for not appreciating what the? I know I don't have to say that, but that's how I feel. I don't think people are going to say I know, no, no, they're not going to. The majority of the people that I'm talking about right now aren't going to say that.
Speaker 2:And that's fine, and that's fine.
Speaker 1:And that's cool. I'm going to leave that where. That's not who I'm talking about. I'm talking about the people that will acknowledge it. I'm like, yeah, yeah, we had something good going.
Speaker 3:Is there not something you can do before that maybe?
Speaker 1:What do you mean?
Speaker 3:Like what we was talking about, like holla at them, Like yo.
Speaker 1:No, it's over, it's over.
Speaker 3:I'm delusional I used to.
Speaker 2:I've been, you know what I mean. I've been hitting you up, I've been hitting you like once a week, my nigga.
Speaker 3:Like every time I'm about to step out I see what's popping with you. You say you want to kick up what your boy more was having and like, should we not maybe do that before? We're just like you know what man, just silently, or however you do it, you should have been, did that. Or because no, because you don't want to have the conversation Because they think you're doing good yeah, you're right, because they're delusional. I think I'm doing everything right right now.
Speaker 3:Right and you're delusional that you're upset with me, right, you know what this has happened before and I think about it. This has happened. This can happen in a relationship. This has happened with anyone.
Speaker 1:Not with us right. No, I don't think yeah, yeah, I don't know In a romantic relationship.
Speaker 2:This can happen in a oh yeah Many different.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying where you think you're showing up every day and your lady's like but you barely taking out the trash. I need you to do way more. You're like damn, I've been doing everything I thought I needed to do.
Speaker 1:And here's why I got the yard on both the grass. Here's why I don't need to hear it anymore, you know, here's why I don't need to hear it anymore, or why I need to do that anymore. Because I, if I did it, I'm doing, I'm still doing myself and them a disservice, because I'm trying to preserve a relationship that I don't care about anymore.
Speaker 3:Well, if you don't care, then yes, I mean so I will say this real quick this is the last kind of the, the my, my kind of closing thought on this.
Speaker 2:What are your thoughts? Until we can part to it, yeah, because there's no way.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, OK well, we're going to keep going, but I'm going to say I'm going to cut this episode into two Drop off the baby.
Speaker 3:Oh shit, oh shit, my bad, ok, ok, ok, you guys are going to.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do, but I want to say this real quick to our, to our listeners.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I do think what is really to you. But I mean, I think this is like one of those things we can all take home. I've seen. I've seen because we talking broadly about relationships Now no, from what it sounds like with you, you, these relationships that you're cultivating are more in a professional front, where they admire your steeze and what you bring to the table on that front and you feel that the same way you would feel admiration from friends or lovers or whatever.
Speaker 3:So the feelings you get in relationships transfer across different types of relationships. So I'm a person who can tell you out the out the gate yes, I too enjoy those relationships and I do want to cultivate more of them. The thing that is a slippery slope for me when I hear you say this and this is like my cautionary tale to my brother is I've seen relationships. I've seen what it looks like when the admiration from that relationship starts to feel real good and then you're not getting it from the other. Other relationships don't make you feel that way. And when you chase that feeling, that's what's dangerous, because I've seen people ruin great amazing relationships chasing the high of that love and admiration from other places, like the professional front.
Speaker 3:No, yeah, you know you have an affair with a couple like that's the thing to when you're chasing that high of that love.
Speaker 1:You called it like trying cocaine, or for the first time you get that drug and you're not getting it from other places and like.
Speaker 2:I want to know, because what's going to?
Speaker 3:happen and this I wanted to ask you this we don't have time. It was like eventually, what will happen? What?
Speaker 1:could happen. You can ask it, but I'll give a quick. Well, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just saying this.
Speaker 3:What could happen is that the love and admiration from that confide. I've seen that happen, yes, so what happens when you, when that happens Now, you got to go chase it over here with the dance community or with these new friends. And now you just like chasing this high of love and admiration, and then that's. I've seen people chase that.
Speaker 1:The dance Landed in.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Excommunication with family members. It landed in a infidelity in the marriage. It landed in people leaving the church. So I mean, it can be. It can be a thing when you chase that high. And so when I heard you say this and that, yeah, but be careful though, because you keep checking, because eventually these niggas ain't gonna give shit about you, bro. Eventually your co-workers are, you're going to be, probably.
Speaker 1:But I, but I kind of feel like that those, the people that I came back home to, kind of don't really give a shit about me either and they're going to be the same boat. Yeah, oh yeah, because they're only co-workers.
Speaker 2:I'm going to leave a. It's going to fail. I'm going to leave the company eventually, right?
Speaker 3:How do you get this high again.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Go to your next company. Your next life Is it. Do you know? I'm a chapter in a how I respond to that you know how I responded.
Speaker 1:That is, live, living and appreciating things in the moment, while I'm in that season.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's a good way.
Speaker 1:I'm going to live in the moment rather than thinking that this is going to be a forever thing. It's going to feel like forever for me because I'm going to enjoy for what it is and then, when I move on or when they move on and it's a new series or a new season of people, I love that. I'm going to love on them.
Speaker 3:Enjoy the now. Yes, Enjoy the now. Enjoy the now. Do you know what I mean? You can't enjoy the now and be looking at your review saying fuck you, I didn't expect.
Speaker 1:No, no, no it's not fuck y'all, like it's only a fuck you Like in a comedy way, like I'm not taking it personally, but it's like really like hey man, fuck you for not appreciating me when I was back there, when I didn't know any better. Yeah, but but you still my nigga and it's still like it's still dope.
Speaker 3:I love where you landed. I love you. Enjoy the now. I love that, but try to enjoy the now, without looking at your review, because if the more you look in your review, the less you look forward.
