[00:02:01] Speaker A: And of course, of course, of course, we got a dub missing research team today, but, you know, everything is all good. Just taking a little hiatus, a little break, you know. Y'all heard last episode. You know, she moving across the country and whatnot. [00:02:20] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:02:20] Speaker A: Good morning, fam. Oh, go ahead, Pete.

We're ascending to high vibrations in 2025. Okay? Today, as we're recording, it's the last full moon. We, we, we. We're really tapped in, y'all. We tapped in. [00:02:56] Speaker A: Y'all should have heard our pre pro. It was real ghetto, just like 2024. 2024 was real, real ghetto. [00:03:07] Speaker C: All I want is a Cat Williams special on. I need that repeat. I need Shay. I hope you and Cat getting together again, because the way Cat was on the whole point, he set the tone. And I. And I, and I, I, I want. I want. I want them to run it back. I want him to run it back. [00:03:31] Speaker A: I get the sentiment, but I don't I don't know. Now that I think about it, he might have up a whole year. [00:03:40] Speaker B: Amen. I'm here. I am here for the end of your special because I was skeptical at the beginning of the year. I need to run back that episode because I know I was like, oh, Cap, he on some other. No, no. Everything came to fruition. Everything. [00:03:58] Speaker C: Everything. He gave us the sermon that we always been looking for. You know, when they used to drag us in church for the New Year's, the be at church, New Year's evening. [00:04:09] Speaker B: Oh, my God, I used to hate that. [00:04:12] Speaker C: I ain't understand why. [00:04:14] Speaker B: I do not. I got PTSD from being in church on New Year's. [00:04:18] Speaker C: Talk about we need to come in with the Lord. Why he was there yesterday. He. It's like they. The way they said it set up, it's like Jesus was like. We. Like. We went. We didn't see him last week at Christmas. So you telling me that we need to celebrate Jesus birth, then we need to celebrate Jesus. We need to go in the new year with Jesus. But we was just with him last year. [00:04:44] Speaker B: Did we. [00:04:45] Speaker C: Did we lose them? [00:04:47] Speaker B: You're supposed to be with them every day. Christians, you know, but that's what the Easter. That's the Easter crowd. They be showing up on New Year's too, the folks that go twice a year. [00:04:58] Speaker C: Because wasn't it one year, maybe like a year or two ago, they was end up playing trap music. And we was all like. That was in Atlanta, wasn't it? And we was all confused, like, you. [00:05:09] Speaker B: Know, Atlanta gonna be on some foolish stuff. Oh, New Year's at church. [00:05:13] Speaker C: But why it would. I'd rather be in Magic City with the Lord. [00:05:19] Speaker A: They was playing trap music in church? [00:05:21] Speaker C: Yes, yes. I'm pretty sure we talked about it either in one of our chats or on the pod. But, yeah, ghetto. [00:05:29] Speaker A: Was that. Was that church on the south side of the east side. I know. It had to be one of them. [00:05:37] Speaker C: Yeah. You know, I don't know the sides like that. [00:05:40] Speaker B: Yeah. You know how we. [00:05:44] Speaker A: Over there? From where? Gucci from over there, over that side, over there. [00:05:48] Speaker C: Yeah, because I put them. I put them about the same. East side, north side, south side, they. [00:05:55] Speaker B: Not equal now. [00:06:02] Speaker C: I ain't say they was equal, but I'm saying that now. I'm saying it's like, you know, being from the crib. Every side got their own side. Like prying, like, praying. Gotta. I told y'all this a couple weeks ago, a couple episodes ago, prime got a Lamborghini Dealership, bruh. [00:06:21] Speaker A: I heard about that. It's over there where the. By where the Volkswagen and BMW dealership was, right? [00:06:29] Speaker C: No, no, it's one. No, it's. You know what? [00:06:33] Speaker A: It's on you as one, right? [00:06:34] Speaker C: Yeah, it's on US one. But you know what that church is used to be at. [00:06:39] Speaker A: By Henry's dry cleaners. [00:06:41] Speaker C: No, that's on Homestead. You got to go on US one. You know, like what church is at churches. Chicken. You don't remember what churches was that? [00:06:52] Speaker A: Okay, it was a churches and goose across a maze. [00:06:56] Speaker C: But you too YouTube. South. You too South. [00:06:59] Speaker A: The church is by Henry's dry cleaner on you as one. [00:07:02] Speaker C: Yeah, so that one. That one. One light, one light over is a whole brand new Lamborghini dealership I heard about. [00:07:09] Speaker A: That's crazy, bro. [00:07:11] Speaker B: Now, I ain't been to Perrine in some years, so has it been recently gentrified that I haven't heard about? [00:07:20] Speaker A: Everything's gone. Everything basically from Homestead to everywhere is gone. [00:07:27] Speaker C: Yep. [00:07:27] Speaker B: For real? [00:07:28] Speaker C: Yeah. One day, if you. If we filling up to it when you down here, we'll slide down there. Girl, you allow. It's crazy. So I said. So I say that to say Atlanta. I know going through their own gentrification stage because they gonna gentrify like in 20 years when they finish that belt line gonna be the same way. [00:07:47] Speaker B: It's already getting there. I went to this. They built this new food hall type place with a bar and live band and sandy springs. It used to be an abandoned building and now it wasn't nothing but lily whites in there. Meanwhile, on the east side, we got abandoned buildings that's been up there for 20 years. They turn that into a food hall. But see, they trying to push us out. [00:08:12] Speaker A: They coming, they coming. [00:08:13] Speaker B: They trying to wait till we gone. [00:08:16] Speaker A: These type of conversations, they just make me sad. I ain't even gonna lie to you. [00:08:20] Speaker B: Me too. [00:08:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:08:22] Speaker B: So that's seeing it happen. [00:08:25] Speaker C: Yes, that's what I'm saying. That's why I said, you know, for me, Atlanta always. You know, I have a love hate relationship with Atlanta, but every side I always have respect for just because I just love Atlanta, you know, like just as what Atlanta represents. So it. So for those that those Atlanta patrons. I ain't never gonna say one side equal to the other side, but I always have mad respect for every side in Atlanta. Yeah. [00:08:52] Speaker B: I just want to say I can we just Atlanta natives. Let's just be honest. The north side is not a thing. I don't know who added that in there, the Amiga is the Migos is not a thing. That is nothing. Okay? [00:09:10] Speaker C: Every time. Every time I be up on north side, too, I just giggle. [00:09:14] Speaker B: The north side is Gwinnett, okay? [00:09:18] Speaker A: John's Creek up there, bruh. [00:09:22] Speaker B: That's not a thing. [00:09:24] Speaker C: Every time I used to be on the north side because they. They did they do it because of north side Drive. [00:09:31] Speaker B: No, the north side drive is not even the north side. [00:09:34] Speaker C: I know, but I'm saying I feel like that's what's. I felt like that's what kind of. [00:09:39] Speaker A: North side Drive is downtown. The north side they talking about is about 20 miles outside of Atlanta. [00:09:44] Speaker C: No, but north side Drive, I think go that far. [00:09:48] Speaker B: It will go far. [00:09:49] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying. Northside Drive take you right into the city. Because I used to live over there. That's what I'm saying. So I know that's where it really came from. So I used to laugh every time I took Northside Drive. Like, if you want to take. I think you can take north side Drive all the way up to. [00:10:06] Speaker A: I don't think you can. I'm pretty sure. [00:10:11] Speaker C: Hey, man, we ain't even got research team in the building today, but I'ma look this up. I'm pretty sure. I don't took north side Drive up. [00:10:19] Speaker A: North side drive ain't like 95. If it's the north side up there on the North. On the north side, then I think it takes. It's a different north side. [00:10:28] Speaker C: No, I think it take you through over there by the mills. What's that side? The point is north side. [00:10:41] Speaker B: North side should not even be included in conversations about the hoods of it. [00:10:50] Speaker C: Yeah, man, I. Man, I know what I'm talking about. Dog gonna tell me because I used to be over there. It's 41. [00:11:00] Speaker B: It went pretty far north. [00:11:01] Speaker C: Yeah, because it goes up by Paces Ferry where I used to live over there. Yeah, because they call that side west waste west. Paces Ferry, they call that north side Pace is fair. [00:11:15] Speaker A: Sandy Springs, though, That's. [00:11:18] Speaker C: That's where I used to live. [00:11:19] Speaker A: No, but what I'm talking about is that ain't in Alpharetta Gwinnett. That's what I'm talking about. [00:11:26] Speaker C: No, I'm saying is north side Drive. That north side drive goes into Atlanta. [00:11:34] Speaker B: It start from Castleberry Hill downtown, yo, and it goes up to Chattahoochee river and Sandy Springs, which is north. That's part of the north side to the north side to me is like Dunwoody Sandy Springs of the city. You know what I'm saying? [00:11:56] Speaker A: Okay. I mean, Dunwoody, north, east, Andy Springs, northwest. So I'm just. I'm. I got it in quadrants, so maybe we just thinking differently. [00:12:06] Speaker C: Nah, that whole side is the north. That's. That's what I'm saying is that's why. That's why Twin saying ain't no north side. Because in reality, that split like Sandy is in Fulton. Then you got Cobb. There's two different counties. But they. I'm telling you, they really think all that. Up past there is north side. [00:12:28] Speaker B: That's what they live past the split with 75, 85 north split. You don't count. Yeah, that don't count. Yeah. [00:12:38] Speaker C: Because I'm telling you, I used to just giggle people. Oh, yeah. I live on the north side of Atlanta. [00:12:41] Speaker B: I'm like, I blame the Migos. Migos. Stop it. [00:12:46] Speaker C: Why? [00:12:47] Speaker A: It was wrong. [00:12:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:12:49] Speaker C: You see what kind of voice I had to use, like, yeah, I live on the north side of Atlanta. [00:12:53] Speaker B: That's exactly how they sound. [00:12:55] Speaker C: I'd be like, oh, where? Oh. Over in Roswell. [00:12:59] Speaker A: They was creative with it. Like, we never. Well, I ain't never heard of a band, though, before they said it. Then moving to Atlanta, I'm like, damn. Y'all got bandles up there in Gwinnett where you were you talking about? [00:13:12] Speaker B: They do not. [00:13:13] Speaker A: I don't really. Y'all was kicking in those up there, right? Oh, man. [00:13:19] Speaker B: And you didn't get her in Gwinnett County. [00:13:21] Speaker C: Right? Right. [00:13:24] Speaker B: Cobb County. [00:13:26] Speaker C: No. Every time I went over the Cobb, I tried to get my butt back into Fulton. Yeah. [00:13:34] Speaker A: They called. They called Cobb County. [00:13:40] Speaker C: Okay. [00:13:41] Speaker B: But I feel like black folk. Well, I can't say exaggerating, but I used to live in Cobb County. It wasn't as bad as people make it out to be, but I will say that it used to be worse. I feel like it's diversified a little bit because I'll actually be seeing black people out there now. But they still don't want the martyr and stuff out. They still don't want you Negroes out there. So it ain't changed that much. But I never get pulled over, so I'm counting that as a win. [00:14:13] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't think I ever got pulled over in Atlanta. I don't got pulled over outside of Atlanta, Georgia, but this is the part. [00:14:22] Speaker B: But, see, didn't. But you be doing in Cobb county and be getting pulled over, you. You can do that in DeKalb County. You can't do that. In Cobb County. [00:14:32] Speaker C: No. [00:14:32] Speaker B: I feel like that's why they call it cop county, because you can ride down the cab smoking a J and they ain't gonna pull you over or they gonna let you go. They taking your ass to county jail in Cobb County. Gwinnett. Y'all wasn't sneaking in nobody house in Gwinnett County. [00:14:51] Speaker C: Maybe they was. [00:14:54] Speaker A: Hey, man, this was. This was a tangent, but we all love Atlanta, even though P. Money got a love hate relationship with Atlanta. But I know Jamie Foxx love Atlanta because they saved his life. [00:15:08] Speaker C: They sure did. [00:15:09] Speaker A: My hospital, you heard that? He told you about 40 times. [00:15:15] Speaker C: Yeah. I ain't see the special yet, so. But I seen clips and I think we talked. I'm pretty sure we talked about this on the pod when we sent our prayers to him. Like, lord, let me tell you something. He is a national treasure. And facts. [00:15:37] Speaker A: My old lady watched it. Yep, national treasure. That's him. [00:15:40] Speaker B: Oh, how was it? I meant to watch it last night, and then I fell asleep. [00:15:48] Speaker C: I mean, I'm sure it's good. [00:15:49] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm sure he gave us all of his talents. I'm gonna say that. Yeah. It wasn't. It's not a. It's not. I wouldn't call it a comedy special. They have it labeled on Netflix as a stand up. I wouldn't call it a stand up special. He did do some jokes. He was funny. There were. There were a couple moments he was funny, but the actual comedy part, it wasn't like. It wasn't like he was trying to be super comedic. Because when's the last time we've seen the Jamie Foxx comedy special? It's got to be 30 years. I, as an adult, I've never seen a Jamie Foxx comedy special. I don't know about y'all. [00:16:34] Speaker C: I felt like, you know, because he sings, right? So I feel like he, as an artist knows how to kick it with a room. And I. And based on just the clips that I've seen, it's just. I felt like what he really was doing was giving us a. A tell. A telltale on what, you know, on just like, where he at right now? You know what I mean? Like, because. Because comedians, you know, a lot of people don't really understand this. And we said this before, Leave Comedians Alone like that. It's a real art to it, for real, like, to be funny and to make people laugh. It's actually an entire art to the profession itself. And because he was given such like a TED Talk, I feel like on, like, his life, you know, where he is because, you know, he got a grown daughter. And, you know, that whole situation obviously was, you know, partly traumatic too, right? And we really didn't get the details until probably a couple months ago, but, like, we really didn't know what happened. And I really felt like that's a brilliant way to kind of work through because, remember, he. He himself went through it. So I felt like, from what I saw just in the clips, that he was giving us a way to kind of process it with the world. You know what I mean? You know, because, like, I even love that he kind of. I loved his outfit. He paid homage to Richard Pryor and. And Chris Rock with the. And Eddie Murphy with the leather. You know, like, that's a signature look for a comedy special, even the Dave Chappelle. So I really. I can't wait to watch it. But, yeah, I just. I'm glad that that was a way for him. I'm glad that. One thing Netflix do do good is they really allow for black comedians to have a place. Although I know they had issues with Monique at one point. But what Netflix don't do good is. I know one thing Netflix. If y'all mess up this Beyonce concert on Christmas, we. We gonna have a. It's gonna be a missing. [00:18:58] Speaker A: You know, it's gonna Buffer. [00:19:00] Speaker C: Gonna be a misunderstanding. [00:19:02] Speaker B: It's gonna be a misunderstanding in their lane. They need to stay in their lane. Live streaming is obviously not. [00:19:10] Speaker C: It's. It. Listen, let me tell you something. [00:19:13] Speaker B: What you need to be doing, what you. [00:19:15] Speaker C: What you better get, what you better make sure is Netflix. I'm telling you, okay? It's a whole. [00:19:23] Speaker B: Prepare yourself for it to be trash. [00:19:25] Speaker C: Just don't. Don't do. Don't. I hope they in the back putting them wise together, because I'm telling you, they're not. If y'all mess up our. Our Christmas show, it's gonna be some smoke in the city because, you know. Go ahead, Doug. [00:19:44] Speaker A: No, I was just gonna say you. When you said putting them wives together, I just imagine a bunch of little nerdy white dudes in the back just connecting wires. [00:19:53] Speaker C: Listen, they better be running simulations, tests, I'm telling you. Like, I don't know why they think, you know, they need to be, you know, live streaming. I know they trying to figure out a way to make more money, you know, because they've been kicking people off, you know, every time I gotta log in, I gotta. I gotta tap my cousin to get in the Netflix. Like, that's so petty. God, leave like, grow up, Netflix. [00:20:21] Speaker B: And you know, stuff like that, I'm gonna become nerdy for a second. As somebody who has worked in technology consulting for 10 years, when Stuff like that happens with lot like companies like that, I always be like, now who the did y'all bring in to help y'all launch this new endeavor? Because we be preparing for a year plus for projects like this, at least six months. So how did the time come for launch and y'all not ready? How. How Netflix? [00:20:59] Speaker A: Well, I think it was just a. They hadn't seen them those type of numbers at one particular moment before so that you can't prepare for that because you've never seen it before. So I think the, the little fight they had with Mike and Paul was a kind of like a, like a test run. Like, oh, this is what we need to do to prepare to do this. You know what I'm saying? [00:21:25] Speaker C: Nah, bro. [00:21:27] Speaker B: I was gonna say no, because simulate a bunch of different scenarios so that you're prepared. And Mike Tyson, come on, y'all should have at least known people was gonna tune in for that. I could see if it was like, like some people, some lesser known people, y'all should have been prepared for that scenario. [00:21:48] Speaker C: Right? The lessons learned. Like, lesson learned. This is, this is one thing that, you know, our white counterparts love to talk about in these meetings. Lesson or a lesson learned? A lesson learned is over the years, you. Y'all remember when they used to drop them episodes on Game of Thrones like the big ones, and they used to be messed up and they would crash out. HBO used to crash out, crash out. So y'all little streaming cable, little networks, they used to crash out and people would lose their mind. So I'm telling you, Netflix. [00:22:21] Speaker A: Okay, but you said it right there, P. Money. Netflix is not a cable company. They're a casual streaming company. No, they're not used to having people watching the same one thing listen at one time. So those servers, they're all trying to pull the data from one particular file on the drive and at the same time, it don't work like that. [00:22:42] Speaker B: That's exactly why you bring in knowledge. And a consulting company or someone who has done projects like that before, who has been involved in stuff like that before so that they help you don't just willy nilly be like, oh, we never did this before, let's just try it out. No, you have to bring in people who have done that before and they can die. [00:23:04] Speaker A: As big as Netflix is, I can't. I can't imagine that they didn't bring those people in. [00:23:09] Speaker C: No, man. [00:23:10] Speaker A: They may have just not have had that. They might have. Those people. They may have not had the infrastructure or the. The hardware to do it. [00:23:17] Speaker C: That's what she. But see this one saying. Let me. [00:23:20] Speaker B: Let. [00:23:20] Speaker C: Let me walk you through it, bruh. HBO was not a cable. Is a cable company. But remember HBO during the Game of Thrones series? I know this because I was there the whole time. Became a streaming company. You remember that transition when they started offering they love monthly, you know, streaming services? So they was one of the first ones, remember? Yep. But no, before hbo, Max, they was the first ones that really started streaming. Went from cable to streaming. Right now you got Paramount, now you got cbs. You got every other streaming cable that don't went that has streaming capabilities. What I'm saying is, in that time, lessons learned. Those were years of those. Those Game of Thrones episodes, remember? One time one got leaked. Then one time, like I said, a couple times, it used to crash out. Like the actual app would crash out. And they got lessons learned over the years where, like, I'm pretty sure now they really don't have any issues with it. What Twin is saying is that I'm. [00:24:23] Speaker B: Glad we brought up Max, because I'm go off on a tangent a bit. The app still trash, Max. Like, come on, bro. How long ago was that y'all switched to streaming a long time ago. You keep changing the name or whatever, and the app remains to be trash. And it keeps getting worse. So have we really learned hbo? Okay, let's go back to Netflix. [00:24:43] Speaker C: So that's what I'm. But this is what I'm saying is if what Twins point is, you're building things or trying to do things with no infrastructure. And one thing that me and Twin know best as being in corporate for over 10 years is they make it. [00:25:01] Speaker B: Up as they go. [00:25:03] Speaker C: They really do. They just be like, oh, yeah, we can do it, and they can't. [00:25:08] Speaker B: I'm glad we. I'm glad we brought this up, though, because this is exactly. [00:25:11] Speaker A: I think that's my point, though. [00:25:12] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, we saying the same thing. But I'm saying is don't you Netflix. Listen, y'all, I'm telling you, if you ain't. If you ain't never seen, you might see a. A worldwide cancellation of Netflix policies in the world. I'm telling you, y'all don't play with us. Do not play with us. We will boycott y'all. Okay, I ain't even got an account, but I get. I tell My cousin to cancel. I tell him to cut it off. [00:25:50] Speaker A: Cut it off. [00:25:54] Speaker B: It's just so many platforms out here that do both streaming and downloadable content. So for them to not have the infrastructure is kind of wild to me in this day and age because we just. [00:26:10] Speaker A: It's not. Well, it's not wow. Because Netflix doesn't do live streaming. [00:26:16] Speaker B: But I'm saying they do. [00:26:17] Speaker A: They do backlog. They do stuff that's already there. They don't do live. [00:26:22] Speaker B: Right. But if you're getting into live, hello. [00:26:26] Speaker C: Let'S talk about it. [00:26:27] Speaker B: There is enough examples today for you to know what you need to do that. You know what I'm saying? Like, don't know that you're only doing backlog and downloadable content and stuff. You should say, hey, what do we need? [00:26:44] Speaker A: Look, it's like, it's like when you go buy a car, you got to take a test drive first. The fight with a test drive for live, you know what I'm saying? They don't do. They don't do live. It was a test drive. It worked for a few seconds and then it froze. Didn't work for a few seconds, then it froze. [00:27:03] Speaker C: Nah, my will kept going. I ain't seen nothing. I ain't seen nothing. [00:27:08] Speaker B: If you went to a car dealership and the. You hit the gas and it drove you for five seconds and stopped, would you go back to that same dealership and try another car? [00:27:19] Speaker C: No. [00:27:20] Speaker A: Yes. Because the dealers, the cars come from the same factory. So if you got it, if you got in the base model and it wasn't, and you wouldn't with it on your test drive, you'd be like, oh, let me go try the premium. So that's when they go fix their servers and go fix whatever they got to fix and get it right the next time. [00:27:42] Speaker B: Not with the test. [00:27:43] Speaker A: Now, now, hold on, hold on. December 25th, that's gonna be. That's gonna be test drive number two. They go take it around the block again. So now if they up that time, then I can say, all right, so they just ain't figured it out. They just, they just over there bullshitting because they know people gonna come anyway. [00:28:01] Speaker C: Okay, so perfect example. Are you test driving? Did anybody get to test drive a cybertruck? [00:28:14] Speaker B: I did not. And I think they're ugly. [00:28:16] Speaker A: No, they look like. [00:28:18] Speaker C: I'm saying, did anybody. I don't think they test drove. I don't think nobody test drove the cyber trucks. I think you had to pre order them. Like when Lamborghini made the truck, the first year they made a truck. You couldn't test drive those trucks. They just made them. Right. We can agree to agree that that's probably what happened. [00:28:35] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:28:36] Speaker C: That's what I'm trying to tell you, Doug. You don't test drive B. Okay. You don't test drive a Lamborghini truck. [00:28:44] Speaker A: Well be about to be a crash dummy because they about to test drive the hell out of that. [00:28:50] Speaker B: Hopefully they got it together. [00:28:54] Speaker A: Yeah. Speaking of cyber trucks, what's Elon Musk's new network? What am I reading right there? 400 silly Billy Billies. [00:29:07] Speaker C: The non U. S. Citizen. That guy? [00:29:11] Speaker A: Yeah. The man from South Africa. [00:29:13] Speaker B: Is he from South Africa? [00:29:14] Speaker C: He is from South Africa. He's from where apartheid lives and breathes. Where racism still exists today. [00:29:22] Speaker B: Now, how did we come up with this 400 billion valuation? [00:29:25] Speaker C: It happened overnight after the election. Yeah, he got it back. He ran it back. Which, you know what, at the end of the day, truth be told, from a historical standpoint, that's nothing new. You know, the Rockefellers did it all. Big business did it. Shout out to HBO again. The Gilded Age does a really good job of showing how. [00:29:52] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Cause I didn't even know you watched that show. That's my bruh. [00:29:58] Speaker C: Come on, man. Bruh. [00:30:01] Speaker A: Come on, twin. The Gilded Age bruh. You gotta watch that. It's another show like that too, as well. [00:30:08] Speaker B: Let me add that to my list. [00:30:10] Speaker C: Listen, man, it's. You know, and so that's. It's really no different Boardwide Empire, Another show that showed how much a big business influenced American elections. So I'm not surprised, to be honest. I think we talked about this on the pod a couple episodes ago. I really thought, though naively, that big business weren't going to have an invisible seat at the table. But it looks to be that they are going to openly just do what they going to do and make no moves. And I'm here for it, honestly, I really am. Like, I know a lot of people since the election, you know, may still be in mourning and loss, but at the end of the day, the one thing that I knew growing up, growing up as a black child in a black household where the black grandmama was. Don't be loud and wrong now. Don't be loud and wrong. All y'all over there, y'all gonna make America great. Okay. Okay. [00:31:17] Speaker A: Right? You're gonna be loud. Be right. If you're gonna be wrong, don't be loud. [00:31:26] Speaker C: That's a. That's a black wise tale. Don't Be loud and wrong. [00:31:30] Speaker A: Okay, so I'm really not surprised at this, this net worth valuation because the, I've never really seen any, any, anyone from corporate America or these huge companies tie themselves to a presidential candidate that tightly. You get what I'm saying? Like they, man, you would, he had it. He had an end game. [00:31:55] Speaker C: You would. [00:31:57] Speaker A: Yeah, he, because he knew what would come of it if, if Trump won. Yeah, he knew. [00:32:04] Speaker C: Like it's easy to think about it in hindsight, but I mean the man owns pretty much space to some degree. Like you know, he, he controls a little, you know, a good portion of it. So I'm just saying is there is good that comes with it. It's like an example would be people like why you don't like Elon Musk. I'm like, because the problem is you see a person that seems to appear to be doing good, but it's like with the Tesla trucks like for years or the Tesla cars for years. Tesla, you know, rightfully named after Nikola Tesla who, you know, was a genius. You know, that's like him branding himself as that number one, number two Tesla died broke like and you know, like. [00:32:58] Speaker A: Most artists stole all his ideas and inventions. Yep. So called him crazy. Yep. [00:33:04] Speaker C: They called him crazy. Right. And so you have Tesla that comes out, right. And it's this, you know, green energy, big business and you know, paving the way for the future. So that's his brand. Right. And he's been able to stick to that brand. But probably what, in the last five years that brand started to erode because we saw like when I found out that Tesla Teslas were built with non sustainable materials, I just thought that was the silliest thing I had ever seen. Why are we pushing clean energy if the thing that is supposed to be clean can't even be recycled? It's not sustainable, it's not sustainable materials. That was the most craziest thing I had ever heard. But you brand the car as, or people that drive Teslas as, oh, well, I'm saving the Earth. And when you understand the scope of what saving the earth truly looks like from a sustainability, you know, sustainability standpoint, it's not doing anything. I mean, if anything, Starlink is probably one of the best and best things that he has out because you know, people in the world should have free access to Internet like everywhere. Like the fact that he has satellites now that can. And Starlink can basically go into the satellite and give people Internet, you know, in the wilderness. I think that's an incredible, you know, technology to Be honest. But yeah, then I think we talked. You say what? [00:34:40] Speaker B: I don't. With Elon Musk as a scientist, mathematician and technologist, he is not, I feel like he exploits the average person. He's not that smart. He's not that innovative. He's not into sustainability. He's not into any of that. He's into making money and that's it. And I feel like a lot of times people who make a lot of money and, and, and, and get rich off of the ideas of others, we see them as this like, groundbreaking person and he got to be smart and you know, he's doing all this stuff in space. He's not. He's not. And I, I like, besides the Tesla, that's a nice car. People have it. I just don't, I don't. I really don't understand how he's been propelled into this, like, person that people see as an innovator because he's not like he be actively working against sustainable public transportation options. He be lying to building code inspectors and just to make money. Like that is not a true person who wants to make change and, and, and, and wants to educate others. And I just don't respect him at all as anything. I don't feel like he should have been plummeted into the fame that he's in. I feel like the people he's, he's had work for him and the people, ideas he done stole should be forefronts more than he is. [00:36:11] Speaker A: Yeah, people try to align him like with the Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Is he. He ain't Steve Jobs for sure like that. [00:36:20] Speaker B: He ain't Mark Zuckerberg. [00:36:22] Speaker A: He ain't not those people. And these people have their own, you know, shortcomings and issues that we have with them. But he's not even these people. I don't know if I don't know Tesla even. I don't know if they ever market marketed themselves as sustainable energy or anything like that. I think that's probably what their buyers attach to them because they are an ev. No, I think it's more of a buyer thing that puts. I don't know if Tesla ever said that. [00:36:55] Speaker C: No, they definitely were. So you got to remember when, remember when Priuses start coming out. So you had the idea. And I only know this because I've always had an interest in sustainable systems since I was in high school. Just because I remember taking. I always took advanced maps and sciences and in one of my AP classes in my freshman year or sophomore year, I remember, you know, it was One of those white professors that really was kind of, or teachers that was like, yeah, we're all going to die in like 20, you know, 20, 30. And as a kid you hear something like they're like, what you mean we're going to die? And it's like we're killing the planet and no one's doing anything about it. Actually we're making it worse. So that gives context to. Over the years you had, I think the Prius was one of the first vehicles that really kind of was like, okay, it can eliminate your, your, your emissions, you know. Outtake. Right. And so the equivalent to that became like a Tesla that was a more luxurious. Think about it, for a luxury environmental, environmental emissions vehicle. Tesla has been the only vehicle for, I mean has dominated it for years until probably the last two or three years when Mercedes got one. BMW has one now, F150 has one now. I, I would say most of the major brands have a vehicle that has, that is electric and you know, their emissions, they have, you know, little to no emissions. You would see him marketing himself as such. Again, back from like most people don't know who Tesla, Nikolai Tesla really was, right. They don't understand what he means to modern technology. And for someone to basically pick that name up and run with gave him the brand identity to be able to say I'm making a vehicle that is for the future, that's going to help save the planet. I know this for a fact because I would see him in his little Tesla farms talking about it like he was the best thing smoking. And just like twin is saying is he was a fraud because he was, he literally is no different than that white girl that was that they locked up for saying that she could change the world with the blood diagnosis thing. [00:39:30] Speaker B: Elizabeth Holmes. [00:39:33] Speaker C: Yes. All she had, all she had to do was put on a turtleneck and talk. Talk like she has some sense. [00:39:43] Speaker B: The about us page on Tesla says the future is sustainable in bold. [00:39:48] Speaker C: I'm trying to tell you but, but. [00:39:51] Speaker B: This is my thing accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy. I don't doubt that the mission of Tesla may be that I don't like that Elon Musk is associated with this because he does not give a about that. And that's what I'm saying about him being his brand being built off the backs of others. I'm sure there are scientists at Tesla who are really working towards sustainable energy, but he don't give a about that. And he should not reap the benefits of being a person who Is, you know, in search of sustainable energy and. And an innovator and. And changing the world, because he don't care about that. [00:40:36] Speaker C: And more importantly, over the years, like, you know, that's what I'm saying. His. He went through, like, in the last five years where his stock, you know, went down. And this is something that I think that Americans don't really understand when it comes to big business. Some way somehow before it used to be like, in Gilded Age, it would be that, you know, these companies or these men would have total ruin and just go kill himself. Right. I think in one of the episodes that actually happens where. No, I mean, it's raw. That's what I'm saying. Like, total ruin would be like, you can't. You can't. You can't run it back. But as we see with President elect Trump and people like Elon, you can run it back. Right? And so, like, even Apple at one point had the same issue. And to me, these are the things that, when we think about being what it means to be American, like, my other biggest issue with that is he is not an American citizen. He was not born here. So why does he have any. How does he have any right to talk about what it means to be American when he was never born here? Americans. [00:41:56] Speaker A: Because they talk about, he didn't get here until college. [00:41:59] Speaker C: I think they talking about taking away the fort. They talking about taking away amendments where people are naturalized citizens. That's what they took. That's what they talk. They're talking about changing the Constitution. Okay, so for Americans that are born here, how y'all feel about that? Why. How does someone that does not. That was not born here got fit five full baby mamas, slept with Amber heard, like, why do we care? [00:42:24] Speaker A: Yeah, she bad. [00:42:27] Speaker B: He got 11 kids. I know that. [00:42:31] Speaker A: I mean, 400 billion. Like, what's a kid? [00:42:38] Speaker B: But. But kids need more than money. Do we really feel like he involved in all 11 children lives? We don't know. [00:42:45] Speaker A: Look, look, they're already in fear of, you know, their. Their population's declining and by day, you know who I'm talking about. So him having 11 kids, as he probably think that's not enough. You know what I'm saying? Like. [00:43:03] Speaker B: That concept is so wild to me, Dub. Like, why are they so afraid? It's. It's billions of people on the earth. [00:43:13] Speaker A: When you rule some for thousands of years and you could be in jeopardy of losing it within probably 50 to 100 years. Like that. Yeah, maybe. [00:43:26] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. I was gonna say inherent domination. Is. And it. It's something that comes with genetic years as the points out of programming, right? Like this is so genetically ingrained in this species of domination and control and power dynamics that there's no way to really undo that kind of concept. Because if you, you know, one of the. The most rich country, continent. Sorry, the most. The biggest continent in the world, they basically made it one of the poorest in the world. You understand? And you see what I'm saying? So this is something genetically. Think about Dike. Their ancestors. Like, we're big, we're tapped into the woo. Their ancestors were the ones who pulled that off. So, you know, that's why a lot of times when I talk about the racial dynamics or being radicalized in a way like where I'm not going to argue with white people about a lot of things when it comes to race anymore, because it's inherently genetic to them at this point. You don't want to see racism, you don't want to see race and you don't care. And until there's something that. Until truly, until there's something that you care about, someone you love, someone you have kids with, someone you might be married to, someone that is in your family, that's the only time you're gonna care. That's when you're gonna snuggle up real close. That's when you're gonna come protective and that's when you're going to lend your sword for. To die on. [00:45:23] Speaker A: Right? I think a good analogy would be like, just in comparison to us, like us folks would like melanin. Like, you know, we just. We just have that feeling, you know what I'm saying? Like we go to a new city or a new state or whatever, we gonna seek out the people that kind of look like us. And you don't even really gotta talk to them, but you see them and you know, y'all speak the same language mentally, you know, and that. And I guess what, What p. Money. That's just. That's just in us. Or like when we hear a certain beat and we just, you know, we already know how to move to it. Like, we ain't even got to try hard, you know what I'm saying? It's just. It's just there. But for them, it's like that power and that I'm better than you thing is just already kind of ingrained in them. It don't matter what country they come from, they know that. They just know that they skin looks how it's quote unquote supposed to look. You know what I'm saying? So I think that's what P. Money's like trying to say. Like it's just ingrained in them type. [00:46:38] Speaker B: Yes, it is. I. I was reading about the potato famine in Ireland. You'll love this, Pete. Again, just reminded myself, them really starved the Irish just to take over their land. Those are also white people. Like, from the beginning, they've been. It's just been evil and insidious. Like I'm. I don't have what it takes. So I am just gonna take it from everyone else. [00:47:10] Speaker C: I'm gonna take it from you. [00:47:11] Speaker B: It's just been there from the beginning. And it's like, is that genetic? What is going on? [00:47:19] Speaker C: Well, you know, a lot of my research deals specifics to that because, you know, like I said, I think that when you start to see it from that perspective, honestly, you actually, you start to honestly not hate white people anymore because you really understand is like, you can't hate a pit bull for being a pit. Like, those are beautiful dogs, but they are pits, right? Like, you can't hate a Doberman for being a Doberman because. Or Rottweiler, because that's a Rottweiler. White people are going to just be white people. And if it comes with these other things that, you know, you can't just. I, I just don't think it's helpful to black people to continue to call these people, you know, all in the same, you know, collective as, you know, racists and all these different things. Because like I said, they really don't see it the way we see it in this election. Taught it. They don't see it the way we see it and they don't care, period. So let it go now. How are there methods and mechanics and strategies to employ to get this other side to care about us? I really don't know. But I'm not going back and forth with nobody no more. I ain't gonna do that. Not doing that. And I think it said it best. You know, where he, you know, gave the analogy, unfortunately, in bad timing at the time because this was after the assassination of jfk where he said the roosters will come home to. They was something. Bruce come back. Let me look it up. But the point that I'm making is this is the kind of stuff we're going to continuously see, like you said twin, where white people gonna start to be violent with other white people. Look what happened to the healthcare CEO. Like I watched that video, which was disturbing, and he walked in there, he had no Book bag. He had no. He have his lunch for the day. He didn't have no suitcase. He had nothing. Like most Americans that commute every day, he got out of his car, which he probably had a driver, and he walked into the building like he was the man, because he was the man. And somebody rolled up on him with the, I think I heard it was a 3D printed gun and shot him. A white man. A white man went and killed another white man. And now people, and now white people are glorifying what the white man did. [00:50:03] Speaker B: Now, I ain't gonna lie. [00:50:06] Speaker C: Talk about. [00:50:07] Speaker B: It, because I've been off social media, but I, I still got the notification on USA Today about this, about the CEO. I have mixed feelings. I don't want to say that I am ever glad that a human life was taken. However, I feel like it's been past time for some type of revolutionary action in America on a lot of fronts, but specifically health care, because y'all know I've been taking care of my parents for the last eight years. And honestly, y'all, I had to get back on social media a little bit. I got back on Reddit and reading those stories of people being denied life saving things, being denied asthma, inhalers, being denied dialysis. Like, I, I just cried. Like it's heartbreaking. I felt a little bit validated because I feel like if you, if nothing's ever really wrong with you and you don't have to navigate the health care system like that, you don't really know how shockingly terrible it is. And so I've been feeling kind of alone in this journey and you know, because I've had to navigate for my parents and it's just, it's so utterly trash that I just felt like I had nobody to talk to because you don't really know until you really need something. And reading all these stories and being like, good riddance that man, your claim is to not. Like, I just really had to take some, some self reflection time because we are truly living in a place that cares about money over human lives. And that is really scary. And I feel like we just kind of every day, you know, we keep going because we have to, you know, you don't want to just dwell on how hopeless is. But that really made me be like, hey, man, kill all them. If that's gonna bring about change, shoot they ass maybe. And, and if it's another white person shooting another white person, maybe that will get the attention of, of the powers that be. Well, this is crazy. [00:52:27] Speaker C: I love that you said it that way. Because one thing that I always often do when I lecture to students is I try to get people to understand, you know, how violence truly works in America. Right. And it's because inherently, like you mentioned, the ancestors of Europeans or white people is very violent and like naturally inherently violent. I'm going to do violence to you and I'm going to respond to violence. Right? And so when you say that, it's like when people think about what happened on January 6, they went up there to do violence because they felt like they needed to make a change. And that's a valid lived experience that those supporters of Trump back at that in 2020 felt was worth going out to go do. And Capitol police were killed, you know, a woman got shot. All kinds of violent things happened. Okay. So when you speak of it in that way, that's what I'm saying is this kid literally was like, you know what? I'm just gonna do something about it. I gotta take his life. I have to. Because what they're doing is so violent. You understand what I'm saying? Like, it's such a crime that someone has to do something about it. And I, since research team in here, I've, I found it. Malcolm X said the chickens are coming home in the roost, which refers to the wrongdoings committed by individual or political entity will likewise have a boomerang effect and come back to punish the wrongdoing party in a similar vein. That's the, that's what it means. And the health care system specifically United is trash. Trash. These are trash human beings. [00:54:25] Speaker B: Like, I didn't, I really didn't know how bad United specifically was trash, you. [00:54:31] Speaker C: Know, and so I do not also condone as a, a non, like a non violent person in, in terms of assassination, like taking out grievances against people, I'm totally against that. But this is something that I talk about all the time. In a historical standpoint. People have been killing people for a long time. [00:54:59] Speaker A: Facts. [00:55:00] Speaker C: Because you think you that untouchable that somebody wasn't gonna come up and, and shoot you. That's what you thought. [00:55:06] Speaker B: And really that if you think about it, because I went down a little rabbit hole of history after this real change has been brought about. When people start shooting people. War when people just get fed up and start murking like and, and that's the unfortunate truth. But it's like that's the only way you get the powers that be to hear you. It's like, okay, let me, let, like you said earlier, p Let me make them feel it so that they. They now they know. Because the wife was like, well, I. I don't know, you know, maybe. Maybe because of some denied claims. I don't know. You know damn well, maybe she don't know. Maybe they are so far removed from the average person that you do not know how much damage your husband and his company is causing to regular people who cannot afford to just go pay $5,000 for a procedure. [00:56:11] Speaker C: Talk about it, because, you know, I'm dealing with it. And let me tell you, baby, it's off the chain. It's off the chain. It's off the chain. So. Yeah, and so, you know, I'm. I really am interested in this case, to be honest. Prior to his arrest, I really felt that he's gonna get off, to be honest. [00:56:35] Speaker A: I really didn't charge him with murder. They charged him with a bunch of other stuff, but murder's not on there. [00:56:41] Speaker C: Yeah, I think. Yeah, I think he gonna get off. I think he gonna get off. Because another thing that you mentioned, and we might have talked. I think we may have talked about this kind of concept before is like, it's. It's why we like the. The shows like Batman. Right. The vigilantes. Right. And so, you know, he really just took it upon himself to change, you know, change healthcare, The. The fight against healthc care into Gotham City. And so, you know, I really could see him getting off, if not with just manslaughter, but because apparently 23 charges. [00:57:25] Speaker B: Related to the 3D printed gun and. [00:57:27] Speaker C: A fake ID yeah, because he didn't use a actual good. [00:57:34] Speaker A: Yeah, Murder. Murder ain't on there. Right. [00:57:36] Speaker B: I don't see it. [00:57:38] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:57:38] Speaker A: So, hey, all. All you rappers that be lying in your wraps, take notes. Somebody like, he. [00:57:46] Speaker C: Okay. [00:57:48] Speaker A: My dog lives talking about. [00:57:53] Speaker B: Didn't he come from a rich family, though? [00:57:56] Speaker A: Not rich wealthy like they say. His. His grandparents started like, damn near half the businesses in their little town. [00:58:06] Speaker B: Yeah. So, you know, if a wealthy person fed up something, right. [00:58:13] Speaker A: His cousin is a state legislature as well. [00:58:18] Speaker B: Something ain't right. Yeah, you're gonna say we know the health system does not work as well as it should, and we understand people's frustrations with it. Do you? [00:58:30] Speaker A: It's. Well, I know y'all spoke already, but it's giving me like Manchurian Candidate patsy type stuff. Like, I don't know if I think there's. I think there's a lot more deep story here, in my opinion. [00:58:49] Speaker C: Nah, you watch too many conspiracy theories. I think I give me my 104 hat. Because I'm just telling you that Cat told us Last year on 11 everything that's done in the dark gonna come to light. And I'm telling you, things of this nature are going to. Let me, Let me break it down for you. Elon Musk gets. Becomes rich, becomes a bill back builds back his billions overnight through the election. He's so busy over here building cars that can drive themselves and robots. But we haven't cured cancer. Or we have the cure, but there's too much big business in it. Children. Children right now in America. Pediatric pediatric cancer. Kids die every day from cancer in America. We haven't cured cancer. Okay, think about that sentiment. [01:00:03] Speaker A: I'm with you. I just don't know if he did it or if he's the one behind it. That's what I'm saying. [01:00:11] Speaker C: I think. No, he did it. He did it. Because this is. What I'm saying is like when and, and kind of what Twin brings up is. And what we've been asking our listeners over this whole election cycle. What are y'all gonna do? What are we gonna do? What can you do? [01:00:36] Speaker B: I think that's why people was unconvinced by United statement. Because what the. Y'all already. Y'all not proposing anything. You just said we wanna. Yes, we are committed to making a better health care system. House, wait. When you've denied 33 of claims, are you going to fix your AI? Now, I wanted to say this too. Let's not give AI a bad name because AI is dangerous, but it's only as good as the humans and feed it knowledge. Okay? So I know that United was allegedly using this AI system to approve or deny claims. But people have to put those prompts in there and teach it to learn in a specific way for it to. To spit that out. And you can alter the technology if it's flawed. Okay. Give it new knowledge. Adjust so that it's not just automatically denying claims. So just me as, as someone who loves technology, I don't want us to feel like, oh, well, A.I. this and A.I. no, it's the. It's. At the end of the day, it's the humans. [01:01:52] Speaker C: It was the. It's the human. But. And they've lost that human element. I mean, Twin, how many times did you say and you've cried and you've screamed and you've yelled at the top of your lungs that there is no human element to what you've had to deal with, with insurance companies and the healthc care system, with your parents yeah. [01:02:12] Speaker B: They don't give a. And I'm with you, Dub. I put my tinfoil hat on. I don't know if I think Luigi maybe physically did it, but remember we were talking about yesterday, we in a simulation. Did somebody drop him in as a plant? [01:02:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I think he, he probably physically did it, but I think there's, there's other things at play here. It ain't just him. I, I get he's a relatively smart person. Some people said brilliant, genius, blah, blah blah, because of the school he went to and he's an engineer and all that stuff. But cool. We smart too. [01:02:52] Speaker B: Correct? [01:02:53] Speaker C: I'm just telling you, I'm just telling you. [01:02:55] Speaker A: I think, I think it's something bigger than him, in my opinion. [01:02:59] Speaker C: I'm just telling you. I've been in some rooms with some really smart people that, you know, specific to AI and the one thing that scares these white people more than anything is kids like Luigi, they talk about it all the time. A kid that's bored or a kid from MIT or kid from one of the top engineering schools in the country flips the side, flips the role, flips the script. [01:03:28] Speaker A: Any, any TV show you watch, the, the damn terrorists or supercells, they come from schools in the United States. Yeah. [01:03:39] Speaker C: So that's why I believe that he himself did it, because he played right. And I'm just being someone that lit, that lived and worked in New York and worked with these kind of people my whole life. Like my hope. Well, not my whole life. The, a big part of my life of like learning just corporate structures is. I mean, he really played into how untouchable they really feel, like how they really move. Like I said, if you 33 of people that you're denying claims with that you don't even have. 9 times out of 10 when they do these denials, they don't even have an appellate process. Right. So you can't even appeal. They just tell you no, and that's it. [01:04:26] Speaker A: That's crazy. [01:04:27] Speaker C: You see what I'm saying? So like you, you, you. These are people. And then when you're denying them, these are life saving treatments or operations that they need. These people are dying. [01:04:41] Speaker B: So I read the story, somebody had up their back or something and going, so what you're saying about appeals, they claim was denied. They went through the whole appeals process. They said by the time the appeals process was over, their injury was healed. [01:04:57] Speaker A: They say he had a back surgery. The suspect, Luigi. Well, I think that's what you're talking about. [01:05:08] Speaker B: That might have Been him. I've read so many stories, I'm like, this is great. This is crazy. No wonder people are like, good riddance f that man. Because asthma, inhalers, people choking out over something regular that most people have. Well, a lot of people have. Like that is just. And I think stuff like this, it's like, you know how bad stuff is. But then when you hear it on this type of level, it's like, I don't know if I knew it was this bad for so many people. I did not know that. [01:05:51] Speaker A: You know what's crazy? Like, I love this country. I'm so thankful to have grown up in this country, be born here. The things that make this country kind of great, like the, the founding type of principles of this country, they really coming to bite us in the ass right now. I ain't gonna lie. Like, just the, the whole capitalism of it all, that's what made this country the most powerful in the world. Because you could come here with nothing and become the greatest of the great. But now it's like people, people getting a little more information now and it's, it's. I don't know, man. This is, it's biting us in the ass. But still, still that makes us great though, because you can't do what you can do here in other countries. I think that's my point. But. [01:06:47] Speaker B: I think like you say, I think, I think other countries maybe not like third world countries, but I think other countries could surpass us in the future. Because I do feel like, like you said, it's, it's kind of a downfall right now which all began with Ronald Reagan. But I'ma leave that because y'all know I can go off on a tangent all day, but I really do feel like the economics and the, the, the crappy state of the, of, of the US and us getting used to having non politicians and clowns in office really began with Reagan in the 80s. And now we are seeing the, the negative repercussions of a lot of the, the sentiment, not even just policies, a lot of the sentiment that he spread to Republicans and white Americans. And you know, he really kind of made the elitist thing and, and classism thing even worse to me and capitalism, I think he really shot us into capitalism way more than we were before. And now that we are just kind of like super divided between people who think capitalism is the way and those of us who are seeing the detrimental effects of pure capitalism. [01:08:06] Speaker A: I think, I think the root word in there is pure capitalism. I think you can still Be capitalism with kind of like these, you know, socialistic areas of your government, like health care, like that. Sure, fine. I think what it is, is like these first probably 20, 20 rights that we have, 20amendments that we have or whatever, they're pretty much untouchable. Like, you. You really can't touch them because the con. The country was built on that, especially the first 10. Like, I don't think you. You really can't touch those first 10. And then you have like the 14th amendment and all that stuff. But it's. It's not something that we can really touch because it's like, damn, all right, we made these laws, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's what made these country, this country so great. And we can't touch them now because, listen, it makes it seem like everything else is. Is a lie or a fallacy. You get what I'm saying? [01:09:16] Speaker C: Listen, let me tell you something. [01:09:18] Speaker B: The. [01:09:19] Speaker C: Let me tell you something. Okay. [01:09:23] Speaker A: I'm listening. [01:09:28] Speaker C: You saying that Supreme Court, we got. [01:09:35] Speaker A: The one orange man built. Yeah. [01:09:39] Speaker C: Okay. Don't sleep. Okay. Amendments. It's a reason why it's called an amendment to the Constitution. An amendment can be amended. Don't sleep. Okay. This is something that, you know, they're. [01:09:57] Speaker A: Looking at the 14th. I don't heard that already. [01:09:59] Speaker C: But they are touchable. No one wants to touch them because typically the Supreme Court. [01:10:12] Speaker A: Because it ain't touchable. The first 10. Not touchable. [01:10:15] Speaker C: I'm not saying that they're not touched. I'm. What I'm saying is you have a Supreme Court, and we have said this on the pod many, many moons ago. That is one of the most, I would say, radical. [01:10:38] Speaker A: Right. [01:10:39] Speaker C: Well, no, because I don't want to make it political, to be honest. It is a Supreme Court that is willing to look at. Yeah, well, I don't want to make it political because the court is willing. The willingness to look at legislature that has been in place for years, decades, to some degree, and overturn them or change them has already been proven. Okay? So if there is a will, will w I L L if there is a will to touch and do something to something that is law, legal amendment, amend, meaning you can amend it. I can completely see in the next four years there being something done from a constitutional perspective. And I would argue anyone that's listening to this podcast who has any understanding of constitutional law understands the reality of this being something that can happen. Okay? So remember that I said this in 2024. So in four years from now or eight years from now, because we Might have a president. We might have President Trump for eight years. They might change that law. [01:12:20] Speaker B: I don't think he can serve again. Oh, you saying they might change the law? [01:12:24] Speaker C: I mean, he kind of old, so it'd be, like, crazy if that happened. Like, he's actually kind of. He would be 88 if. Yeah, he'd be like, wait. Yeah, he'd be like 88. How old is he? I think he's. How old is he? [01:12:37] Speaker A: What I would say, because I get. I understand what you're saying, but this is someone that, that put these. He put three to four justices in. In service. So I don't think that they're. They are willing, sure. But it's not their will. It's his will. I think he willed them to do these things that he's asking for. Hey, I'm gonna put you. I'm gonna put you in this seat, but you got to do what I'm. You know what I'm saying? That's what it seems like. [01:13:11] Speaker C: I would disagree because you have Clarence on there. Right. [01:13:18] Speaker A: And the. Never mind. Go ahead. [01:13:22] Speaker C: I'm just letting you know who has been in the. WHO has been getting financial. I mean, they have proof for 40 years. [01:13:32] Speaker A: That's what. That's even before what's his name. [01:13:35] Speaker C: But that's. But so my point being. [01:13:36] Speaker A: So that's proof. They could be. They could be bought. [01:13:40] Speaker C: So what I'm saying is this idea that these justices have this moral compass, I'm just saying is they themselves got up to their little nominations and they lied straight to the American people and said, oh, no, I won't do this and I won't do that. I mean, they have them on camera saying these things, and then what did they do? They went and overturned it. And that's all I'm gonna say about that. [01:14:08] Speaker B: But did y'all see RFK Jr trying to roll back the polio vaccine? [01:14:14] Speaker C: See, this is. See this? [01:14:19] Speaker B: We're all gonna die. We're all gonna die. And we should just get our together right now because we're gonna be with polio. [01:14:31] Speaker C: If that ain't the goofiest thing I ever heard. I'm like, y'all know polio almost wiped out the whole entire world, right? [01:14:41] Speaker A: That number. Polio? Yep. [01:14:48] Speaker C: No, like, like polio actually almost killed. Hold on. I know it's a stat on that. [01:14:57] Speaker B: After your old ass already done. You can, It's. You can afford to be anti vaccine after you already had all the vaccines. [01:15:10] Speaker C: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. You know Research team ain't here. Polio in the 1940s. In the 1950s, polio killed nearly half a million people worldwide each year. You see what I'm saying? [01:15:23] Speaker B: Not each year. [01:15:29] Speaker A: But. The crazy thing is this. This kind of goes back to our. I don't know what kind of conversation that was earlier. Like a white supremacy conversation. Whatever. This man comes from basically American royalty. He's a Kennedy. Yeah, I'm sure you. I'm sure y'all still got money somewhere, you know what I'm saying? [01:15:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:15:55] Speaker A: And you still trying to be in. In control of other people's lives is. [01:16:03] Speaker B: The craziest part to me. Dub, like, you got long money being important to the U.S. [01:16:15] Speaker C: Why? [01:16:18] Speaker B: Why? [01:16:19] Speaker A: I think some people just. They're just not comfortable with. Well, I mean, they're just not comfortable with going somewhere and just chilling out, you know what I'm saying? Which I can understand that because, you know, people have ambitions and all this stuff, but your ambitions, most people's ambitions are to get them in. In a financial state where they don't have to worry about anything. But if you're already in that, like, what. What else is there? I guess that's why these billionaires be trying to go to space and stuff. [01:16:53] Speaker B: Doing weird. Yeah. Because what else do you do? I can't relate. I ain't never had money like this. [01:17:01] Speaker C: I ain't seen Rihanna to try to go up there. [01:17:04] Speaker A: But Rihanna ain't got that. She got billions, but she ain't got that. [01:17:08] Speaker B: Them billions, but she didn't grow up with billions. That's the thing. Or millions. I feel like sometimes I feel like if you. If you grew into money, but like, you weren't born into it, you might have a different sense of purpose than somebody like a Kennedy, even. Even far beyond people who just maybe you had wealth for a decade, you know, a generation or two when you would have had wealth for generation from the beginning. What. That's why you be on drugs and. Well, let's let me shake it up and see if I can revoke the polio vaccine. Let's see what happens. You know, sometimes, like, you just want to watch the world and see. Watch it burn. Because. [01:17:51] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like you're just doing. Just to do. Just to say I did. Like. [01:17:56] Speaker B: Yeah. Because why do you need to go to space? [01:18:00] Speaker C: I want to go to space. I want to go to Mars. [01:18:03] Speaker A: No, this is fire. And I think it's like these billionaires, these people. Well, Elon and. And Bezos, like the ones that are actually Building space companies or whatever. I feel like they just. They've done everything on Earth. And I mean, the government told us the aliens are. They've been here, so they're like, oh, like, you know. [01:18:30] Speaker C: Yeah, but you gotta. [01:18:31] Speaker A: I feel like they. I feel like they know something's coming. And like. [01:18:37] Speaker C: Okay, if you want to play. It's a conspiracy, though, you got to remember there's a good population of people that don't even believe that we went to the moon. They don't believe the moon is real. You know that, right? [01:18:52] Speaker A: I have heard that people still think. [01:18:55] Speaker B: The Earth is flat, so I'm not shocked by that at all. [01:18:59] Speaker C: You know, so. But again, you know, I think that for the most part, if. If anything, what I've learned in this year is that it. This place doesn't seem real at. Sometimes, and I'ma just. I'm gonna treat it as such and I'm gonna try to stay tapped in to the universe as much as I can, because I don't know what else we can do other than that, because it doesn't. I mean, there. There are times truly that I'm like, this can't be real. [01:19:39] Speaker A: Right? And there's an old saying. I think it goes, stay black and die. And that's. That's probably. [01:19:45] Speaker B: I was just gonna say, I came to the realization that all I got to do is worry about myself and help my people as much as I can, and that's it. That's all I can do. [01:20:01] Speaker C: Yeah, well, I mean, I take that one for the culture. We lost some really great pillars of the black community in this last year alone. And so, again, I just know that our ancestors. I keep telling people the inauguration is on MLK Day. Gonna be barbecuing. [01:20:35] Speaker B: Canaan, barking at that. [01:20:36] Speaker C: He. He said, no, people's gonna be on the grill. Mine. We are going to be minding our black ass business. Okay? And with that, we're gonna get into the next segment, talk about the culture. Because I'm telling you, this is. This. This is what I'm telling you. Like, the way this. With the way this setting itself up, it's like it's not a happenstance. Like, there's. There it. That is. That is not something that's just random, okay? Like, the chances of that being on the same day is just the craziest thing I've ever heard. [01:21:16] Speaker B: A party, a block party or something. [01:21:18] Speaker A: For real. We lost some great ones in 2024. Yeah, like, come on, like Nikki Giovanni. Come on, man. [01:21:29] Speaker B: Man, I forgot about that. [01:21:32] Speaker A: That was like last week. Quincy Jones. That was about. Yeah, three weeks. Three, four weeks ago. Yeah, he gone. [01:21:44] Speaker C: John Amos, James Evans. [01:21:47] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. Yeah, John Amos. But we know him as James Good Time. I can't believe he was like 33 years old when he filmed that show. He look old as hell, but rest, Rest in peace. James Evans, John Amos. [01:22:08] Speaker B: Yeah, you know, they were going through stuff back in the day. They look older than. They had a struggle. [01:22:16] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm struggling that they had to go out there and be on them fields, child. [01:22:23] Speaker B: Damn, y'all. I used to hate good times growing up. I ain't gonna lie. [01:22:31] Speaker A: Good times with this. Even in the 90s, watching Good Times, that's crazy, because if you think about TV now, I guess hard to watch a Show that's like 30 years old, you know what I'm saying? But in the 90s, watching Good Times, that was all right. I like Good Times. [01:22:50] Speaker B: I was like, this is depressing. They gonna be poor forever. They ain't never getting up out the hood. Everything sad, and I don't like it. But I also was not tapped in. I grew up middle class, so that was a very foreign way of living to me. So I still watched it. [01:23:11] Speaker A: It didn't make complete sense to me either, but. [01:23:14] Speaker C: Oh, it did. It did. I grew up in the non middle class. [01:23:20] Speaker B: That was so depressing to me. I'm like, they live in the projects and they're gonna be there forever. [01:23:27] Speaker C: Yeah, that's. That's really was the. You and you got to hold on to the good times. [01:23:32] Speaker B: And he was being abused. I'm like, I can't watch this. It was. I think it was too much real life for me as a child who had not experienced any of that. I didn't even know any. I'm just now, at 36, realizing how terrible the world is. So growing up, I was like, this is not. Isn't the world sunshine and rainbows. I just. This isn't good. [01:23:56] Speaker C: You also was raised by one of the most compassionate, empathetic, optimistic, beautiful human beings God ever made. So you gotta be. [01:24:09] Speaker B: Leave that in. [01:24:10] Speaker C: Yeah, straight up. Like, I ain't never met a soul like that in my life. I know souls like that, but hers was unique, Uniquely different, for sure. I ain't never even heard that lady cuss ever. Never. [01:24:26] Speaker B: I did one time, and I knew it was. It was a rap for whoever the. I can't remember who it was. I just had to go ahead and ma, let's go over here. I'll handle it. For you. Because I don't ever want. I never wanted her to. To be outside of her angelic nature. You know what I'm saying? So while I'm possess a lot of her traits. Okay. I am not the one. [01:24:52] Speaker C: Yeah, no, yeah, the. So. So I would say that was a big. A big part of. Why. Because you could be in the middle class and still have a trash upbringing. [01:25:07] Speaker B: That's true. But I did appreciate good times as it. As I got older. And it was funny, you know? [01:25:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:25:15] Speaker B: A lot of black actors started there, you know, so it was less depressing. [01:25:21] Speaker A: Jackson was on there. [01:25:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:25:23] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:25:24] Speaker A: She sure was old Penny when she used to come over with Wanda. [01:25:29] Speaker B: That's what I'm saying. Poor Penny was getting abused and. Oh, my God, this is awful. This is real life. [01:25:40] Speaker C: Well, with that, we're gonna go on and take a quick break, and we'll be right back. Pope Penny. All right, welcome back. We've been chit chatting. Might have had some intakes there, but, you know, we just want to make sure that we wish all of y'all a very happy holiday season. Thank you for kicking it with us all 2024. We appreciate everyone that has listened, like, on YouTube, Instagram, send us messages. We really appreciate y'all. And so we're looking forward to, you know, just tapping in with y'all. But I know one thing. I am really, really, really, really, really, really, really looking forward to the next year because I just spent the holiday season doing absolutely nothing. Because I'm not buying into none of y'all foolishness like Thanksgiving. I'm over it because I just walked around telling people happy Colonizers day, and people really don't understand that y'all are just continuing a tradition that really needs to die. Just kill it. [01:27:10] Speaker B: I actually agree, and I know Thanksgiving is for fan. It's really for families and getting together and stuff, but I feel like I decided this year and maybe last year, too. I don't really. I don't think I'm celebrating Thanksgiving anymore. I'll take a plate now. That don't mean don't bring me no plates. Shout out to our cousin. I ain't gonna say her name, but she. She with her mama and gave us a full pan of Thanksgiving food. And I love you, girl. [01:27:44] Speaker C: Thank you. [01:27:45] Speaker B: Because I was definitely at home in the bed. [01:27:48] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, I wouldn't. Yeah, I would have picked up some plates, too, but I don't think I. I feel like, you know, to gather. That's one of the terms for the holidays to Gather. I think, you know, you can put a lot of more emphasis on that year round, to be honest. It's kind of like when we just talk about. For mlk. I'm telling you, people gonna be barbecuing for sure. It's gonna be a long. It's gonna be the first long holiday because think about it, Christmas in the middle of the week, New Year's in the middle of the week. And that's gonna be the next holiday that we gonna have. That's gonna be the first weekend holiday of the year. [01:28:28] Speaker B: I honestly feel like I'm so tapped into my master plan that the holidays, inauguration, all that is kind of out of my mind. Like, I feel like I've been hyper focused on 2025. So I'm excited too. [01:28:46] Speaker C: Yeah, I just think from a holiday perspective. No, I agree. Like, I don't. So I think I'm. I know I'm over Thanksgiving. I. I was like going through some boxes the other day and I found some of my little Christmas ornaments because I don't have a tree up this year, obviously. And I took out the little ornaments, my little Harry Potter Christmas ornaments that I got. And you know, like, I think Christmas to me feels. Always felt different because of how I used to experience it in New York. Like being in New York made Christmas become magical for me. Like, I get it, like when I lived there and then it was snow and stuff. Like, I started to understand why people love Christmas. But yeah, I think just these things that we celebrate in these holidays, like, they just need to die. And so I say that to say like, MLK weekend, it's always a special holiday for me because it's right around my birthday. So when I was a kid growing up, that's usually when I would have my parties. So because it was a long weekend. And so that's kind of why I really. [01:29:51] Speaker B: I do love Christmas and New Year's though. I'm. Even though I'm saying I'm hyper focused, I do enjoy the time around Christmas and New Year's because it kind of symbolizes like you're ending the year on a positive note, people in a good mood and not acting as crazy as they usually do the rest of the year. And it's like new beginnings, you know, I always feel a real sense of new around New Year's and the holidays after Thanksgiving. So I'm excited too. As I reflect on 2024, I feel like it was a transitionary year for me, setting me up for what's to come in the next Five years. And I feel like I became very resilient and tapped in, and it was revealed to me what's important and what's not, you know? So I'm excited. Big things to come. I've been feeling this real nervous energy for, like, six months of just something big is coming. I meant for something bigger. And I feel like I've been getting closer to that every single day. And 2025 will kind of be like. I feel like it's going to launch me forward towards that. So I'm really excited. It's going to be a good time. Despite all the crazy that's going on in the US Like I said earlier, focusing on me and my people is really my main thing for the rest of my life, honestly. Because, like you were saying earlier, P, we don't have a cure for cancer. Why we don't have a cure for Alzheimer's, Why we don't know what causes that. Why we. Why aren't we more educated on these things that affect us individually instead of using our money to go to space and do all this other. That's not helping the. The everyday, average citizen. [01:31:55] Speaker A: It's carbs. [01:31:59] Speaker B: I disagree because my mom was a vegetarian for the majority of her life. [01:32:05] Speaker A: I'm telling you what they said. They said carbs causes Alzheimer's and dementia. That's what they said. [01:32:13] Speaker B: But so many. [01:32:13] Speaker A: Who is they? I don't know. [01:32:15] Speaker B: Oh, I was gonna say. Who is that? [01:32:17] Speaker C: I was gonna say mustard. [01:32:20] Speaker B: Okay. [01:32:21] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. Now you trying to pull on the pod. Look at you. Hey, y'all. It's. It's a cynical, negative cousin. [01:32:36] Speaker C: He just bad because his. He mad. Cause the boy. [01:32:39] Speaker A: The boy. [01:32:41] Speaker C: The boy pulled out his white card and starts suing people. [01:32:47] Speaker A: Even Wiz Khalifa was like, yeah, that sounds like a Drake thing to do. So he been doing that. I ain't mad. Do what you got to do, playboy. But that. That Kendrick is fire, bro. I listen to it. I ain't. But I'm a fan of. I'm a fan of good music. I don't. [01:33:04] Speaker B: Kendrick album. [01:33:05] Speaker A: Yes. [01:33:06] Speaker B: Yeah, it's fire. [01:33:07] Speaker A: That thing. Fire or mixtape, whatever he want to call it, it's fire. Yeah. It's a good thing. [01:33:16] Speaker B: Wait, but why Drake doing the label? [01:33:19] Speaker A: Oh, because his label supposedly suppressed his songs, by the way. Right. So. And. And his label is also in bed with, I think, Apple Music. So they were suppressing Drake's songs to big up not like us. And. But their argument, I guess, is that we did this for you. We suppressed Hella People to play your. Like years ago. So it make him look a little crazy, but I guess everybody else didn't sue like him. So we gonna. We gonna see what happened. But what I was saying was the cynical, negative cousin, 2025. Oh, I'm not. I don't. I don't know what I am. I have no identity. [01:34:13] Speaker C: I feel like you changed. I was gonna say I feel like you've been changing. You've been growing. You know, I would say that there's. [01:34:24] Speaker A: Regular 30 to 35 to 40 year old. Stay inside, play the game, Mama business. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's me. Yeah, you're right. But what I was gonna say was 2025. Cool. But be realistic. It ain't. No, it's only one segment between 2024 and 2025. I'm gonna do the same. Wake up and go to work. [01:34:54] Speaker B: That's real. [01:34:56] Speaker A: That's the cynical part of me. You know what I'm saying? Like, just do the same. But we gonna have a new president. Well, a new old president. That's. That. That might be a triple entendre because he knew. Because he ain't the president now, but he the old president because he was a president before and he also old. So that's a triple entendre. You see what I did there? [01:35:33] Speaker C: I mean, thank you very much. [01:35:35] Speaker A: We don't see. He. He got some ideas for y'all, especially y'all, of melanin, but not, you know, our melanin, just the lighter melanin. [01:35:47] Speaker C: Oh, they gonna find out that y'all voted for Everybody gonna find out. [01:35:53] Speaker B: Get him out of here. [01:35:54] Speaker A: It's gonna be. [01:35:55] Speaker B: He said, oh, we're not gonna be separating families. [01:35:59] Speaker A: We're gonna deport the whole family and mind y'all. P. Money is. Is. She is a. You know, she is a Republican. That's which. [01:36:07] Speaker C: Oh, why you put my business out on these streets, man? [01:36:12] Speaker A: You've said that before. Stop. [01:36:14] Speaker C: I know. I am. I am. I am conservative. Yes, I am. I just. I don't like making it about party anymore. [01:36:25] Speaker A: No, no, it's not about. It's not about party. It's just that that's the party that he claims. You know what I'm saying? And it's not about you. But my point was, is that there are people out there that still have a, you know, a sound mind and don't with everything he said just because he's in their party. That was. [01:36:45] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, yeah. [01:36:46] Speaker B: No, she's not a Trump Republican. I do feel like there's a difference. [01:36:52] Speaker C: Yeah. And I would, I would further more say that I have said this before on the pod, that the two party system is failing the American people. So. [01:37:06] Speaker B: Yeah, that's true. [01:37:07] Speaker C: That's, you know, my, me, me being a, I've always been a Republican. Me being a Republican is because Republican party gave black people the right to vote. It's as simple as that. That's in that party system has changed and flip flopped. So the two party system is failing the American people, period. Because if I'm, if I'm a Democrat, I'm hella pissed. And I, I'm, I would be very weary of when this party says there for us. And they just, you know, collapsed in the wake of Trumpism. They collapsed completely. You know, had to go get good old Joe out of retirement to come run for president. You know, it's like they haven't recovered since Barack Obama. And that's just very unfortunate. There really is. And so, you know, and, and Trumpism is a thing. And so like I said, they like it. I love it. And I'm, I, I, let's, let's see how great we're gonna get. Let's see. [01:38:18] Speaker B: Just a quick comment on Joe, this is completely off subject, but the fact that he pardoned his son. Guys, come on. If. What's the point in being rich and powerful and president if you can't use it to help your own people? I don't care about the rest of that y'all talking about if you can't help your own son out as the president. [01:38:40] Speaker A: This is my son. Oh. He did a little crack with some hookers. All right. [01:38:47] Speaker C: Yeah. But they act like, they act like half of the drug epidemic isn't cocaine and opioids. Black people don't have access to that. They, they smoke. They have crack and fentanyl. Okay? And fentanyl now is a drug that's in everything. That's the only reason why I don't even buy weed on the street because it's in everything from the hospitals. [01:39:11] Speaker A: Yep, sure does. [01:39:13] Speaker C: So y'all a little mad because this man went and go, but that's his only son and he off the pain. Honey is right. He is off the chain. [01:39:24] Speaker A: Everybody other sign was a Iraqi veteran and died of cancer. Like, come on. That's all he got left. [01:39:31] Speaker B: Come on, bro. [01:39:33] Speaker A: If I'm 80 plus and this the only son I got left, this is my legacy. [01:39:38] Speaker C: Cool. [01:39:39] Speaker A: He a little up. Sure. Listen, in the black community and we ain't got. [01:39:47] Speaker B: Thank you. [01:39:48] Speaker C: Let me give you, let Me give. [01:39:49] Speaker A: A guy, you know, get up out of jail. [01:39:51] Speaker C: Let me give a good parallel. Prince Andrew. [01:39:59] Speaker A: On the run. [01:40:05] Speaker C: For years. And they just stripped him. They just finally hid him away. They just not hid him away. The king of England's brother. [01:40:17] Speaker A: Right. [01:40:18] Speaker C: So please, please. [01:40:19] Speaker A: Other son. [01:40:20] Speaker C: Thank you. [01:40:21] Speaker A: One that we never heard. [01:40:23] Speaker B: Please. [01:40:24] Speaker A: Was on them islands with them little kids and Epstein. Please. And what's her name? [01:40:33] Speaker C: I don't know. But leave me out of it. Okay? Like this is stuff. That's the. That's the kind of stuff. If I hear people talking about stuff like that, I just walk off. I leave, just. And I change the stuff. So. Because you sound crazy. What are we really talking about? As. As though white people don't always make sure that they take care of their own. Shut up. Shut up. [01:40:53] Speaker B: And as though if you had any sort of power, you wouldn't be getting Jaquavius out the county jail for having we or whatever. You would do the same. So. Stop it. Stop. [01:41:05] Speaker A: But you know what the crazy part is? We never heard of Buddy until Epstein came up. I never heard of him. I didn't even know Prince Charles had a brother. I did not know that. [01:41:21] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:41:22] Speaker A: So that means they probably knew he was up and they kept him away from the limelight. Well, because everywhere. Queen Elizabeth. Oh, Prince Charles. [01:41:36] Speaker C: Charles. [01:41:37] Speaker A: Prince Charles. I never heard of Prince Edward or whatever the his name is. [01:41:43] Speaker C: That's. He got two brothers. [01:41:45] Speaker A: I. I ain't never heard of them. Well, for a reason, probably. [01:41:51] Speaker B: They knew. They knew. [01:41:53] Speaker C: They might have known. I. I don't think so. To clarify, you have senior working royals. That's the whole, like when people try to understand what happened to Harry and Megan. They were senior working royals. Prince Andrew was the one that married Fergie. And him. And him. Fergie and Diana. Diana. Princess Diana and Fergie were like, really cool. And then Prince Andrew and Fergie got divorced. So apparently they actually still kind of cool to this day because they had Princess Beatrice. Like. Yeah, look up. No, the original Fergie. She's a redhead. [01:42:40] Speaker A: Look, See? See? [01:42:42] Speaker C: I'm trying to tell you, bro. [01:42:44] Speaker A: This is why p money's here. We don't know none of this. [01:42:47] Speaker B: I never don't know anything. [01:42:49] Speaker C: Yeah, you can Google. Google. Fergie and Princess Diana. They used to like always be together. So they weren't when he got divorced. Remember, divorce was like a real bad thing until like when the whole divorce went between Princess Diana and then Prince Charles at the time the tapes came out between him and Camille. Like he being A male publicly was like, no, I'm not having an affair. I'm not having an affair. Until that came out. And then everybody was kind of like, oh, let's everybody get over with this divorce, right? I just say that to say there are worse things that people could do as long. I mean, Hunter has to carry a gun because he does cocaine. People. He'd be messing with hookers. That's why he has weapons. [01:43:37] Speaker A: Yeah, bro, Just like to have a good time. Come on. [01:43:40] Speaker B: Listen. Because y'all. Y'all know y'all be on coke, too. Listeners, stop it. [01:43:46] Speaker A: Cocaine and guns and hookers is regular stuff. [01:43:51] Speaker B: Stop clutching your pearls. Y'all know what be going on out here. [01:43:55] Speaker C: Hello. And speaking of which, clutching day pearls, y'all. Ladies, stop crashing out over these men, please. In 2025, can we not crash out over men? [01:44:08] Speaker A: Oh, please crash out. [01:44:15] Speaker C: Let's. Let's leave. Let's just. Let's leave it in 2024, okay? Let's leave the crashing out over men in 2024, please. Let's just leave it in 2024. Let's go into the new year. [01:44:30] Speaker A: I'm an avid battle rap fan. Like, I actually go to events, and I know all the backstories. But this here, the boxer being introduced to it, I already knew about the other three because that's been an ongoing thing in battle rap for, like, the last two years, probably. [01:44:51] Speaker B: Wait, catch me up. [01:44:52] Speaker A: But the boxer coming in, I ain't. [01:44:54] Speaker C: Know about none of that. [01:44:55] Speaker A: And that's some new stuff. It being intro to it. Oh, what you need to know, twin. I know it all. What happened, Remy Ma. [01:45:13] Speaker B: I saw the headline, but I didn't read in depth. Okay, so what happened? [01:45:17] Speaker A: Okay, so she's been dealing with this battle rapper, Easy to Block Captain. Mind you, I know all this stuff for. For a while. It's been. This is old news. Minus the. The boxer being introduced to it. She's been dealing with Easy to Block Captain for probably the last two years. They started off, she was his manager, supposedly. Then they started dealing together. Then you started hearing these rumblings about Papoose knocking him out in a back room. Blah, blah, blah. Papu's never said nothing. Pap. Who's the Alphabetical Slaughter rapper? Super Lyrical Miracle. I don't know if you remember any Papu songs, but. Yeah, him. That's her husband. They have a kid together, like six. [01:46:02] Speaker B: Or seven. [01:46:05] Speaker A: Peppers never said anything. But now it comes out that Papu's still been living in Remy's house. According to Remy, this Is all legend. I don't know none of this. And he's been dating Clarissa Shields, the world famous boxer. She, like, she really the best female boxer of all time. The first American to win a gold medal at the Olympics, among other things. She's got several belt titles in different weights, but, yeah, they in a whole love, I would say triangle, but it's like a square at this point because it's four points. It's four different people. [01:46:47] Speaker B: Who. The other person. So you have her, the dude she messing with. [01:46:53] Speaker A: Yeah, right, Correct. Yes. He was upset that he was still staying in her house talking to this girl, but she already got another situation. They've been together for like a year and a half at least. [01:47:08] Speaker B: Yeah, but go live with her then. [01:47:11] Speaker A: Right? And that's my point. So people are like, yo, why you. Why you in her house talking to another female? [01:47:19] Speaker B: Yeah, go live with her. [01:47:21] Speaker A: Go live somewhere else and talk to another. That's my point. [01:47:25] Speaker B: That's the only problem. [01:47:27] Speaker A: Y'all still marry y'all and get an official divorce. Why are you still in this lady house? That's my point. You know what I'm saying? [01:47:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:47:35] Speaker A: Which she. She. She still should not be upset because she's always had her own situation for the last year and a half with another. You get what I'm saying? So it's all like, a little messy. [01:47:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:47:49] Speaker A: And again, back to the beginning of the podcast. Why is this on the Internet? [01:47:56] Speaker B: Why do we know about this? Okay, so back to p original point. Stop crashing out on the Internet. Call your people. Call whoever you need to call. What we gonna do? This is what I said in the beginning. What are we gonna do about it? [01:48:19] Speaker A: She been dealing with buddy the Battle rapper for a year and a half. We never heard nothing from Papoose, you know what I'm saying? And that's a stupid ass name. I hate saying the word Papoose. That's a dumbass name. Sorry, Papoose, but that's a stupid ass name. Anyway, we never heard nothing from him. We didn't know nothing about this until she started barking on the girl on. [01:48:50] Speaker B: Social media, like, oh, that's okay. So she started going off on her on social media. [01:48:57] Speaker C: Yes. [01:48:58] Speaker A: She started putting out screenshots and all this stuff. [01:49:02] Speaker B: This is why when a relationship is over, y'all need to physically part ways. Don't still be, oh, I'm still on the mortgage and we still own it. You need to cut ties and not talk to this person anymore because it's hard for you to. To heal when you still in close proximity with this person. Because why do you care? Now I would care that he in my house, period. But in my house and you're talking to somebody else. Go live with her, then that would be my only thing. Just go live with her. I wouldn't be going back and forth with no woman. None of that. It's time for you to get out. And that's it. [01:49:42] Speaker A: Yeah, apparently he fell asleep on the phone like while he was FaceTiming the next chick. [01:49:50] Speaker C: But that's what happened when you owe. [01:49:53] Speaker A: Been living here for the last year and a half while you out there sleeping with another. You. You in another relationship. [01:50:00] Speaker B: But this is my house, though. [01:50:02] Speaker A: No, but if he. If he got his own bedroom at that house. You know what I'm saying? [01:50:08] Speaker B: Nah, I don't understand why he's still there. [01:50:12] Speaker A: I don't get why he's still there. I agree with that. But if he got his own bedroom, why you coming into my bedroom, seeing what the I'm doing? Who gives a. [01:50:22] Speaker C: You know what? Honestly, now that I'm thinking about it, a lot of people, because they got a young kid, a lot of times people don't want to disrupt the living situation for the kids. So. And I. And I know that because when my grandma and my granddaddy got divorced, they lived in the same house for years together. [01:50:44] Speaker A: Right. I understand why. [01:50:46] Speaker C: No, but like they. But they lived in two different bedrooms. [01:50:48] Speaker A: Care about. Yes, that's. That's normal. I got my. My favorite auntie and uncle. They lived in. In the same house, still together. They love each other. Happily married. Actually, none of that occurred. But they. They slept in seven separate bedrooms. That's. That's a normal thing. But if y'all in the same house and y'all in separate bedrooms and y'all not together, why are you going in this man's room or whatever? You get what I'm saying? Trying to see what the he doing. [01:51:21] Speaker C: I mean, maybe the kid would have been the. [01:51:24] Speaker A: And you got something else going on. [01:51:28] Speaker C: I mean, like I said, I don't. I don't. I try not to throw stones at nobody house. So I just. Leave us out. Leave me out of it. [01:51:40] Speaker B: That's the whole point. [01:51:41] Speaker C: Leave us out of. [01:51:42] Speaker B: Know any of this. You should not know any of this. [01:51:45] Speaker C: Leave me out of it. Okay? Please. Because at the end of the day, you don't know what people saying and what's between two human beings. We won't ever know the real or the real. And I just think that sometimes women just in general, when they do any type of crashing out, it be over the fact that it ain't like if this girl, the girl he was messing with, was a bum or she want nobody. Remy Ma probably wouldn't even care. [01:52:16] Speaker B: That's also true. That's a part. I feel like that is a part of human nature, that her pride might be a little hurt. [01:52:23] Speaker C: You know what I'm saying? [01:52:24] Speaker B: She like your bum ass up here in my house, and you with this boxer. The. But that's unwell. That's unwell emotional behavior. [01:52:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:52:35] Speaker A: Ain't no bum, though. She got m. She got her own. [01:52:38] Speaker C: No, no, no. [01:52:38] Speaker B: I'm saying papoo and she could fight that. No, that's what I'm saying. Probably saying your bum ass papoose on my couch. Why you with this boxer? What the you doing on my couch? [01:52:54] Speaker C: You see what I'm saying? [01:52:56] Speaker A: And then what Remy doing in. In between that is telling, you know, Clarissa the. The boxer. Oh, you ain't the only one. He. [01:53:07] Speaker B: Okay, girl, so you still emotionally invested, all right? [01:53:10] Speaker A: Right, Right, right, right. [01:53:13] Speaker B: Yeah, but that's my point. How you not gonna be emotionally invested with somebody you was married to, had a child to, and y'all still living the same, same house? [01:53:23] Speaker C: Girl, I'm trying to tell you, like, okay, so earlier I gave that example of the age difference. This girl is 29 years old. Now, you as the 29 year old, I see why you could be crashing out on the Internet. But Remy, girl. [01:53:43] Speaker A: She went to jail for shooting somebody. That's. That's crashing out right there. [01:53:47] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, Well, I guess maybe we thought. [01:53:51] Speaker A: We know. We know Remy, a Bronx chick, you know, she. Yeah, she gonna do what she want to do. Yeah. [01:54:00] Speaker B: I think we'd be expecting people to evolve after making mistakes, but that is not true of most people, so. You right, though. [01:54:11] Speaker C: You right. [01:54:11] Speaker A: Yeah. And then also, let's promote, you know, black culture in the. In the meantime, Remy picked the wrong one to beef with because Clarissa got a movie coming out on Christmas. [01:54:24] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, I seen that. [01:54:25] Speaker A: Fire Inside is her life story, and I thought it was gonna be a damn tubi movie. This is an MGM movie in theaters. [01:54:36] Speaker C: Yeah, boy, but. And. And too, I feel like also what the rest of the Internet did, which is, man, he got a tight. Boy, they look just alike. [01:54:53] Speaker A: No, it ain't that they look just alike. It's that they. They. They kill us. One fight in one shoe. [01:55:01] Speaker C: That's what I'm saying. He like. He got a tight. [01:55:04] Speaker A: Yeah, he. [01:55:05] Speaker B: He like that. [01:55:07] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. One could whoop his ass and want to shoot him dead. [01:55:12] Speaker C: Yeah, that's another thing too. That's what I'm saying is you in the house talking on the phone with another woman. You know, I'll shoot a diggy. [01:55:19] Speaker B: But see, you know, we're both. Well, the fighter probably is less. Less though, because you can't be fighting people and you a professional fighter. But you know that I will kill you. [01:55:31] Speaker A: That's why he knocked out buddy. He was like, you think I'm scared of you? Put a gun in my head probably twice what I'mma knock you out in this room. They say hit him with a two piece. Easy. Went down easy. [01:55:49] Speaker B: Damn. [01:55:51] Speaker C: Maybe pap ain't got no money. [01:55:55] Speaker B: He can't. [01:55:57] Speaker A: I won't say Papoose ain't got no money. I know he wrote for Diddy for a long time. [01:56:02] Speaker C: I'm just saying, like when I'm thinking about it, maybe I just wouldn't still. [01:56:06] Speaker A: Remy did say she the one with the big bag. But I won't say papoose ain't got no money like that. I won't say that. [01:56:14] Speaker C: I mean, I'm just saying because he. He. When she went to prison, he the one held her down. And that kind of loyalty. I'm just saying. [01:56:29] Speaker A: Yeah, they up in arms on the Internet, they love that loyalty. They're like no pep. Who's right, pap? Who's right? That's what I've been seeing in the comments. [01:56:39] Speaker B: People have such a swarped view of loyalty. They think loyalty mean you just supposed to stay with somebody no matter what happens forever until you. They kill you. It's like, that's not. That's not it. That's not it. [01:56:57] Speaker A: No, I don't think it's that. I think they. They talking about how he's been loyal to her while she was locked up and we don't know what that was doing out here. I'm sure he was other. Who cares what. [01:57:12] Speaker B: But what does. But my point is what does that have to do with anything? [01:57:18] Speaker C: Like I said, leave it all. [01:57:20] Speaker A: Yeah, but it's the Internet. [01:57:22] Speaker C: Oh, leave it. Leave it all in 2024. With that, let's take our shots. Last shots of the year. [01:57:32] Speaker B: Thank you.
