Episode 331
Episode 331 - The Balance of Humor and Seriousness in Everyday Life
This podcast episode delves into the complexities of personal expression, particularly regarding the use of profanity and its implications within social discourse. I engage in a candid dialogue with my co-hosts about the perceptions of vulgar language, reflecting on our own experiences and the criticisms we have received from our families regarding our linguistic choices. Through this exploration, we question the very definition of "good" cursing and its contextual significance in our lives. We also share various anecdotes that highlight moments of triumph, both trivial and substantial, in our respective journeys, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and celebrating personal victories. Ultimately, we aim to foster a sense of community and connection through our shared narratives, encouraging our listeners to reflect on their own moments of achievement amidst life's challenges. The discourse in this episode unfurls as we delve into the complexities of self-expression and societal norms surrounding profanity. Reuben and his co-hosts engage in a candid discussion about their personal experiences with cursing, illuminated by anecdotes that reflect on familial influences and societal perceptions. The dialogue traverses the dichotomy of linguistic expression and the expectations set by parental figures, particularly highlighting the contrasting views on what constitutes 'good' or 'bad' profanity. Through this examination, we confront the broader implications of language, including its role in shaping identities and community interactions, ultimately questioning the arbitrary nature of these societal standards. As the conversation progresses, we find ourselves contemplating the intricate relationship between language and emotion. The hosts articulate the necessity of certain vulgarities as a form of emotional release, positing that profanity can serve as a valid conduit for expressing heightened feelings. This notion is juxtaposed against the backdrop of societal expectations that often stigmatize such expressions, leading to a profound inquiry into the legitimacy of emotional expression within the constraints imposed by cultural norms. The episode culminates in a broader reflection on how language, particularly in its most unrefined forms, becomes a tool for navigating the complexities of human experience, urging listeners to reconsider their own relationships with language and societal expectations.

Speaker A:What's happening, y'?
Speaker D:All?
Speaker B:How you doing?
Speaker A:Oh, man, things are great.
Speaker A:Things are great.
Speaker A:Things are great.
Speaker A:So, programming note.
Speaker A:We haven't had one of these in a while.
Speaker A:Programming up.
Speaker A:Once again, the mother who birthed me says that we don't cuss very good and we should stop.
Speaker A:Not you, Ag.
Speaker A:Apparently I cuss terribly.
Speaker A:So does Moby as well.
Speaker A:I don't understand how you cuss good and you don't cuss good.
Speaker B:Well, first of all, sure, I got a bone to pick with you.
Speaker B:Oh, I love you, Shirley.
Speaker B:You're beautiful.
Speaker B:But I haven't been profane on this show in weeks.
Speaker A:No, no.
Speaker A:She said, except for you.
Speaker B:Oh, I thought she was saying it.
Speaker B:Except for me.
Speaker B:That I don't.
Speaker B:That I, you know.
Speaker A:Oh, no, no.
Speaker A:She was talking about me and Mob.
Speaker B:Oh, well, yeah.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Now I got that out of the way because I was like, wait a.
Speaker A:Minute, I've been good.
Speaker A:You'd be good.
Speaker D:We.
Speaker B:You know what the miss Sometimes with our moms, we give them a pass, and this includes my mother.
Speaker B:They'll say some stuff and then they don't give you parameters.
Speaker B:Like, surely, like, y' all don't curse good.
Speaker B:But has she ever given the definition of what good person is exactly right?
Speaker B:So we don't.
Speaker B:We don't really have a, you know, like some sort of, like, ground level.
Speaker B:This is what you say, whatever it is.
Speaker B:It's like, I know you don't curse, but I know apparently you know what it is.
Speaker B:So you gonna have to get on.
Speaker A:The show.
Speaker B:Some knowledge, because I've been wondering what good cursing is since the first time you said it.
Speaker A:I mean, so she was pretty much like, y' all do better when y' all don't curse at all.
Speaker A:And I was like, mom, I don't know if I can do that because we.
Speaker A:We talk about crazy stuff over here.
Speaker B:Well, that doesn't mean you have to be profane.
Speaker A:That's true.
Speaker A:But some of this stuff describes my gears.
Speaker A:The only way I can express it is by using profane.
Speaker B:That is not true.
Speaker B:That is a lazy man.
Speaker A:It's not true.
Speaker A:It's not true.
Speaker A:That's not true.
Speaker A:But I feel like at that point in time, I need people to understand the level where I'm at, because when I don't curse, I'm at a certain level.
Speaker A:But if I use profanity, I'm in the red.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker A:Yeah, like a bull's in the red, man.
Speaker A:You ain't trying to be there.
Speaker A:That's all I'm saying.
Speaker B:Listen, like.
Speaker B:Like I told my wife, dear heart, let me tell you something.
Speaker B:You aren't in the red many times when you curse like a sailor.
Speaker B:I listen to this.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker B:In fact, I listen to the show on the way home Friday night.
Speaker B:So stop it.
Speaker B:Stop.
Speaker B:Lack of discipline.
Speaker B:I know you have vocabulary, so that's not.
Speaker B:That's not what we're doing here, but it's certainly lack of discipline.
Speaker B:You don't have to be profane to get off any type of expression of emotion or description of whatever.
Speaker B:It's.
Speaker B:I will say that it is vernacular.
Speaker B:It's easy to fall into because it's all around us all the time.
Speaker B:However, I don't agree with that.
Speaker A:I mean, that's fine.
Speaker A:And that's fine.
Speaker A:There's absolutely no nothing wrong with you agreeing or disagreeing with it, because you're right.
Speaker A:It's been.
Speaker A:It's been a minute since you've used profane language here.
Speaker A:That's why our show is tv, Ma.
Speaker B:I mean, I hear that.
Speaker B:You know, you can't be ma.
Speaker A:Then that's true.
Speaker B:But there's a reason why I put that on there is because I knew where the show was going.
Speaker A:I mean, it's not X.
Speaker B:No, it's not.
Speaker B:It's Just language.
Speaker B:But language is very powerful.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker A:And kids shouldn't be listening to this.
Speaker B:Well, again, dear heart, that's all I'm saying.
Speaker B:Listen to many things that are adult.
Speaker B:That is not a deterrent anymore.
Speaker B:Actually, it's probably marketing.
Speaker B:Like, good marketing.
Speaker B:Hey, let's say they can't do it, so they'll go and do it, I promise you.
Speaker B:Kids, look.
Speaker B:Listen to and look at things that I didn't see until I was 30.
Speaker B:Oh, yeah, again, that's not.
Speaker B:That's not a thing either.
Speaker A:I mean, they play.
Speaker A:They play.
Speaker A:They play WAP on the radio.
Speaker A:I was like, I have no.
Speaker A:I don't like or dislike that song.
Speaker A:I mean, I get it.
Speaker A:It doesn't grind my gears like some people do.
Speaker A:And it doesn't.
Speaker A:Like, huh?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:I mean, to me, it just says somebody's overstimulated quite a bit and they need to get that release out.
Speaker A:And, hey, I would much rather it be Wap then Dap dry ass.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker A:And I don't want that.
Speaker A:Nobody wants that.
Speaker B:See, here we go.
Speaker B:What are we doing?
Speaker C:What's up?
Speaker B:What are we doing, man?
Speaker B:Oh, nice exposure.
Speaker A:Have you worn that before?
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker B:That's a nice one.
Speaker B:Either way, that's a nice one.
Speaker B:So, I mean, it's like, come on, man.
Speaker C:I mean.
Speaker A:I mean, am I wrong, though?
Speaker A:Tell me I'm wrong.
Speaker B:Listen, from a musical standpoint, WAP is the only reason that we hum that song is because the beat is fire.
Speaker A:The beat is fire.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker B:And that's all it takes.
Speaker B:If you have a really good.
Speaker B:If you choose a progression and you have a strong melody, you can basically say anything you want, and it's gonna be fire.
Speaker B:And whether you agree with the content or not, you will still hum it.
Speaker A:All I'm saying is.
Speaker A:All I'm saying is the song would not be as popular if it was called Dap.
Speaker B:I don't agree.
Speaker B:That's what I.
Speaker B:That's the reason I said what I said.
Speaker A:And see, And I disagree with that, because nobody wants to hear a song about dry.
Speaker B:I don't think people truly want to hear a song about WAP either.
Speaker B:I don't think that people woke up in the morning and said, I really want to hear about that.
Speaker B:I. I promise you, I don't think that was.
Speaker A:There's Moby thinking.
Speaker B:I'm telling you.
Speaker B:I'm telling you right now.
Speaker B:I know Mo's going to disagree because he's got that look on his face, but I'm telling you, I'M going to.
Speaker C:If the song was called Dry Ass Pussy, as long as you change the verses, it would still work because then it would be like a satirical like.
Speaker C:Like he joke.
Speaker C:Like, look, man, Eazy had a song called Fat Bitch on My Jock, man.
Speaker C:Like, you.
Speaker C:You can.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker C:I'm kind of with ag on this, man.
Speaker B:If you got.
Speaker C:If you got a good beat and a catchy hook, man, like, people.
Speaker B:People are with it.
Speaker A:I mean, Eazy did come up with a song called Fat Girl.
Speaker C:Once again, I'm just saying, if you got.
Speaker B:And that song is okay, I'm telling you, from a musical standpoint, progression is there, and you get.
Speaker B:And you nail the melody.
Speaker B:You can insert any subject matter into that melody.
Speaker A:I'm gonna concede defeat on this one.
Speaker A:And that's fine because it makes sense.
Speaker A:Like, you gotta be on that one.
Speaker B:It makes sense because just think about it.
Speaker B:What if you.
Speaker B:If you heard the acapella of wap, I don't know if you would gravitate toward.
Speaker B:Towards it instantly.
Speaker B:The music is the primer, and by the time you're primed, it's too late.
Speaker B:You're going to hum this.
Speaker B:You're going to hum it.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker B:If your mom heard WAP right now, she would find herself humming some things that she doesn't want to hum.
Speaker A:God, I hope not.
Speaker B:Look, man, she's a human being.
Speaker B:If she digs the music part, she's going to gravitate towards what they're saying.
Speaker B:She's going to have to.
Speaker A:I don't think mom digs the music part like that, but I hear what you're saying.
Speaker B:That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker B:If the music hooks her, it's over with.
Speaker B:She will be humming that and she'll be like, lord.
Speaker B:I don't mean say that, but the music is strong, the melody strong.
Speaker C:If your music is strong enough, man, people ain't really paying attention to what you're saying.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker C:And in all fairness, we consider somebody a musical genius.
Speaker C:And.
Speaker C:And ain't nobody ever broke down Prince's lyrics, though.
Speaker C:Because if you listen to what Prince was talking about, it's like, bro, ain't no way Prince can't be playing.
Speaker A:But yeah, man.
Speaker A:So had a.
Speaker A:Had a quick editorial, Moby, because once again, my mother says that.
Speaker A:Stop cursing, because we don't curse well, me and you, not ag.
Speaker A:Ag's cool, because ag don't curse a lot.
Speaker A:But me and you, we don't curse well, so we should.
Speaker A:We should stop doing it.
Speaker A:But I I was like, mom, that's why it's tvma.
Speaker A:And sometimes I need to.
Speaker A:I need to express myself using words such as that.
Speaker A:But she was like, I understand that.
Speaker A:Which never thought I would hear.
Speaker A:But she was just like, yeah, y' all don't do it very well.
Speaker E:And.
Speaker A:And AG brought up a very good point.
Speaker A:What is cursing very well?
Speaker A:That's the question I gotta ask next because.
Speaker A:Yeah, I don't understand, like.
Speaker A:I mean, are we getting, like, a C minus on a curve or something?
Speaker B:Like, I don't know, man.
Speaker B:Because I think.
Speaker B:I think as far as you and I go, Ruben, I think our dads did or do curse really well.
Speaker A:Oh, my dad dropped F bomb today.
Speaker B:Well, again, I learned my.
Speaker B:I told my dad, and it was so funny.
Speaker B:I told my dad this in church one day.
Speaker B:I told my stepmom, it's like, look, don't let him fool you.
Speaker B:He the one told me how to curse.
Speaker B:So it's like.
Speaker B:And he was like.
Speaker B:He started pearl clutch.
Speaker B:That's that old pearl clutch up in here, you know?
Speaker B:You was the one.
Speaker B:You was, man.
Speaker B:You was like in the.
Speaker B:You was like Obi Wan, cursing.
Speaker B:Come on, bro.
Speaker A:And do know that.
Speaker B:No, if my mom, like, My mom was like, what?
Speaker B:You tried to say that you were.
Speaker B:If my mom laid down some profane language.
Speaker B:She was angry.
Speaker A:It was meant to get your attention.
Speaker B:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker B:Because she got.
Speaker B:She got irritated with me one day and said, I'm tired of this.
Speaker B:I was like, whoa.
Speaker B:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker B:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker A:But I've never heard her use for.
Speaker B:Exactly.
Speaker B:So when.
Speaker B:So when she used it, you already knew she was on a hunting baby, man.
Speaker B:But my dad, you know.
Speaker B:But my dad, you know, he used it all the time.
Speaker B:So he had to raise his voice for you to know that he was angry, you know?
Speaker B:So it's just like, you know, he was that dude.
Speaker B:So it's just like.
Speaker B:I thought based on what my dad taught me, I thought my cursor was good.
Speaker B:Apparently, it's not, so.
Speaker B:But at the moment, it's like, the critique is fine, but what is the definition of good cursing?
Speaker B:That's.
Speaker B:That's a whole nother show.
Speaker B:That's an interesting.
Speaker A:That's probably what it is.
Speaker B:What?
Speaker A:It's probably.
Speaker A:No cursing.
Speaker A:That's probably the best.
Speaker B:I think that's what she's trying to say.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:I mean, look, I'm not normally a quitter, so typically, I was gonna say practice makes perfect, but I think I'm just gonna try to be like, all right, cool.
Speaker C:I'm gonna try to cut the profane language out for the rest of the show, give this a whirl.
Speaker B:I mean, you've done it before, and.
Speaker C:I know.
Speaker C:I know.
Speaker B:You know, I'm just like.
Speaker C:I'm just saying I feel.
Speaker C:I feel as Ruben was.
Speaker C:I feel attacked.
Speaker B:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:I feel attacked.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker C:So apparently, my.
Speaker C:My use of profane language is not up to standards, so I'm going to reevaluate.
Speaker C:Yeah, I'm going to reevaluate, and I'm gonna take the night off from cursing.
Speaker B:Actually, you know, the funny thing about all of this is when Mo's mom chimed in with that, I was like, I didn't see that coming.
Speaker B:I didn't see that coming at all.
Speaker A:That.
Speaker A:That is one of the greatest episodes ever.
Speaker A:When she popped up in that joint.
Speaker A:That joint was hilarious.
Speaker B:No, no, no.
Speaker B:When she.
Speaker B:She.
Speaker B:I think it was, like, about two months ago, she was.
Speaker B:Did you say something in particular, or was she just irritated at your cursing in general?
Speaker C:She said that I was.
Speaker C:Not putting enough respect on her name, basically.
Speaker C:Because basically, she said I was telling some fibs about some things, and I'm like, yeah, I'm.
Speaker C:I'm pretty sure that I'm holding true to exactly what happened in all these stories.
Speaker E:I ain't.
Speaker C:I ain't making it up because.
Speaker C:Because truthfully, I'm just not creative enough to make up some of the stories about my mom.
Speaker C:I'm not.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:I mean, she officially brought back the word heifer because I was hustling my mom.
Speaker B:Don't.
Speaker B:You know?
Speaker C:But it never left with me.
Speaker C:I' and he.
Speaker B:My whole life, I thought it.
Speaker B:Well, I thought it was hussy.
Speaker B:I didn't think it was he.
Speaker C:No, she said both.
Speaker B:Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker B:You got to read the room.
Speaker C:Like, heifers and hussies can.
Speaker C:Can vary.
Speaker B:They can be back up.
Speaker B:I didn't know that they could vary.
Speaker A:So what's.
Speaker B:What's the parameters there?
Speaker C:He is usually when she is mad at a particular individual, hussy is when somebody is exhibiting a behavior in which he is not fond of man.
Speaker C:That's.
Speaker B:That's a thin red line there.
Speaker B:Okay, go ahead.
Speaker C:Okay, look, man, it's.
Speaker C:It's.
Speaker C:It's just like the difference between female dogs and garden utensils.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Like, we know there's a difference, but, I mean, it's a thin line.
Speaker B:It is not, sir.
Speaker B:It is not.
Speaker C:Thank you.
Speaker C:I'm pretty sure there is no.
Speaker A:There is.
Speaker C:You know, Tensile is having sex with everybody.
Speaker C:A female dog is having sex with everybody but you.
Speaker B:You know, I can't do it.
Speaker B:Oh, man.
Speaker A:So, yeah, sorry about that, people.
Speaker A:We had an editorial this morning.
Speaker A:This show.
Speaker B:Why are you sorry to get that out the way?
Speaker B:I love when our Shirley chimes in, but she usually only chimes in about profane language.
Speaker A:She usually watches.
Speaker A:She usually watches a show either on Mondays or Tuesdays.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:She'll sit and she watches it on her Facebook and.
Speaker A:Yeah, and that's.
Speaker A:It came up one day, and I was just like, what?
Speaker B:Well, this didn't come up just one day.
Speaker B:This has been boiling.
Speaker B:It's been on a nice.
Speaker B:She wasn't boiling.
Speaker A:She wasn't boiling.
Speaker B:Not boiling.
Speaker B:Like, she was mad, but, like, it's been simmering for a while.
Speaker A:It wasn't like, disappointment either.
Speaker A:It was just like.
Speaker B:You sure?
Speaker A:No, no.
Speaker A:It was like, y' all just terrible at it.
Speaker C:So, Ruben, we just need to take the night off.
Speaker C:And, Ag, the floor is yours.
Speaker C:I mean, feel free.
Speaker C:Apparently, you're the only one that does it well enough.
Speaker A:I mean, she was like, yeah, Ag ain't done it too much lately.
Speaker A:I was like, you watch a show like this?
Speaker A:Like, I know she watch it like that.
Speaker A:Apparently she do, bro.
Speaker B:She probably watches, like, every week.
Speaker B:She's proud of her son.
Speaker B:She just doesn't like the profane language.
Speaker A:I mean, I'm proud of her son, too, but.
Speaker C:Yeah, Clean it up, son.
Speaker C:Clean it up, man.
Speaker B:Really?
Speaker A:I'll do what I can.
Speaker B:Really?
Speaker B:That.
Speaker B:That's funny.
Speaker B:That's funny.
Speaker B:He said clean it up.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah, I'll do what I can, damn it.
Speaker A:No, she shouldn't.
Speaker B:You shouldn't be.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker B:This is.
Speaker B:This is cool, man.
Speaker A:No, I just think it's funny.
Speaker A:It is hilarious.
Speaker B:It's hilarious.
Speaker C:We taking too much responsibility, man.
Speaker C:We have a producer on this show.
Speaker C:He can always blurt us out.
Speaker C:Everything we think it beep us out,.
Speaker A:But they would be just like this.
Speaker B:I'm not taking that much time, sir.
Speaker B:I promise you I'm not.
Speaker C:Or you could do the bet uncut, and you could just have some bad voiceover, like when we say the curse word.
Speaker B:I'm not gonna spend my time, especially with you.
Speaker B:I'm not gonna spend my time saying, garden, utensil, garden, utensil, garden.
Speaker B:No, I'm not doing that, sir.
Speaker B:Because at one time, you call.
Speaker B:You said.
Speaker B:You said that with respect to your daughters.
Speaker B:One time, I was like, whoa, I Was like, hurt my feelings.
Speaker B:That's why.
Speaker B:That's why I put the TVMA on the.
Speaker B:On the.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker B:On the front.
Speaker B:Because I did use to beep it out.
Speaker B:I did, but that got old fast.
Speaker B:So I was like, you know, they'll pay me enough to do this a.
Speaker A:Half an episode later.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:I mean, I did the whole thing, but I was like, there's.
Speaker B:There's a better way to do this.
Speaker B:I promise you.
Speaker A:Yeah, don't do it.
Speaker A:But where's the fun in that?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:He said, worth.
Speaker A:Nobody didn't nobody ever did not get in trouble for not doing something he shouldn't be doing.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Oh, before we move on, because I certainly don't want to revisit this, because I don't know exactly where the boundaries of respect is, but rest in peace, Lindsey Graham.
Speaker B:You feel about it however you want to feel about it, but I'm gonna respect the day to keep it.
Speaker B:Keep it moving.
Speaker B:But he did die yesterday.
Speaker B:I didn't see it coming.
Speaker B:I guess it was a sickness that would.
Speaker B:Just jumped on him and didn't let go.
Speaker B:But he is gone now, and it is what it is.
Speaker A:So, yeah, he went to Ukraine, and two days later he came back and all gone.
Speaker B:So there's that.
Speaker B:Anyway, go ahead, Ruben.
Speaker B:Take over the show, man.
Speaker A:Before we move on, apparently my brother saw Mitch McConnell.
Speaker A:Apparently spoke, saying that he was okay.
Speaker A:He saw him, my brother, but not.
Speaker A:He didn't see him see him.
Speaker A:But My brother said AI generated Mitch McConnell, saying that he was okay.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:I was like, okay, anything you say, man.
Speaker B:That dude's so dead.
Speaker B:I don't care, man.
Speaker B:And I'm not trying to disrespect him.
Speaker B:I'm telling you, man, because Lauren.
Speaker B:Lauren was giving me all the things, and she's like, he dead.
Speaker B:And I'm sitting there listening to her like, girl, you ain't wrong.
Speaker B:Oh, yeah, that's right.
Speaker B:Shout out to my wife, man.
Speaker B:She's been out of town for, like, I feel like, forever.
Speaker A:Jesus.
Speaker A:And how have you been surviving, man?
Speaker B:See, this is what I'm saying, okay?
Speaker B:I. I didn't.
Speaker B:I wasn't motivated to do anything.
Speaker B:In fact, I think I regressed as a human being.
Speaker B:I went to work.
Speaker B:I did accomplish.
Speaker B:That's the only thing I accomplished worth anything.
Speaker B:I went to work, right, because you have choices.
Speaker B:I did have a choice.
Speaker B:I could have stayed.
Speaker B:I could have called out all week, but I didn't do that, so.
Speaker B:But what I noticed was when you're married, when you're In a good.
Speaker B:Well, I'm just gonna say when you're in a good marriage, because I'm in a good one.
Speaker B:I don't know about everybody else.
Speaker B:When you're in a good marriage, your wife motivates you to stay sharp without saying anything.
Speaker B:I feel like if your wife has to verbally speak to you about your effective, your effectiveness as a human being, I feel like you extra trifling.
Speaker B:I have noticed that my wife was not here, and I did.
Speaker B:I promise you, I wasn't inclined to do jack.
Speaker B:Now, I tried to wash the dishes on time and all the things.
Speaker B:I got to the point where I wouldn't touch stuff so I wouldn't have to clean it up.
Speaker B:Man, I'm telling you, going to bed is the worst.
Speaker B:It's the stupidest thing ever.
Speaker B:Because, like, you get used to sleeping with somebody and then you go to bed and it's like, what's all this alone time?
Speaker B:I felt like I was in timeout.
Speaker B:So I'm like shout out to my wife for coming back home and not just like, staying in these streets.
Speaker A:Coming back home, bruh.
Speaker B:I'm telling you, man, it is a different.
Speaker B:I didn't really.
Speaker B:Because she's been gone before, and it's been.
Speaker B:It's been okay, you know, I dealt with her, whatever it was.
Speaker B:But this time I understand.
Speaker B:My wife has an entire vibe that I didn't know until she left because it sucks.
Speaker B:I promise you.
Speaker B:It's.
Speaker B:It's like.
Speaker B:It's a whole different lifestyle when she's not here.
Speaker B:So shout out to my wife.
Speaker B:She's awesome.
Speaker B:She's a traveling smoke show, and she just needs to stay home.
Speaker B:So I'm just saying she don't need to travel no more.
Speaker A:All right, let's break out the chains.
Speaker A:Locked up in the basement.
Speaker B:Harry Potter.
Speaker B:Sir Harry Potter.
Speaker B:I need the staircase, my friend.
Speaker B:Under the staircase.
Speaker A:That might be worse.
Speaker B:Well, either way, she ain't going nowhere.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:Hopefully I don't get an Amber alert for her.
Speaker B:You might see a white girl, because apparently when black people come out, come.
Speaker B:Come up missing, it don't matter.
Speaker B:Shout out to.
Speaker C:So funny you said that, man.
Speaker C:That's so funny you said that, Ag,.
Speaker A:Bruh, how the world.
Speaker B:Look, man, if my child went out with four white boys on an island, on a boat, and they came back with his cell phone and not my son,.
Speaker A:Death would have happened to somebody.
Speaker B:That's next level, bruh.
Speaker B:I mean, I feel like based on what's happened in my lifetime that I know about, I Have heard about people.
Speaker B:And this is in the last eight months, 10 months, 12 months.
Speaker B:People being lynched, called a suicide with two broken legs.
Speaker B:I don't know how you climb a tree with two broken legs, but apparently you can do it.
Speaker B:You know, people just turning up, missing, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker B:But this particular thing.
Speaker B:And again, this is my own personal experience.
Speaker B:I'm sure there's worse that has happened.
Speaker B:What I'm saying to you is I feel like based on all the things that I've heard about and read about, this is next level.
Speaker B:Because there is no real investigation going on.
Speaker B:These kids are still at home chilling.
Speaker B:They erased all the.
Speaker B:All the content and all the messaging on their phone regarding him.
Speaker B:They came back with a cell phone, and the person never.
Speaker B:Never came back.
Speaker B:But they.
Speaker B:The body was found.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker B:Ain't nobody in jail, man.
Speaker B:Look, y' all have taught me on this show there are levels to this.
Speaker B:I have.
Speaker B:I believe it.
Speaker B:I've seen it.
Speaker B:But this right here, it's not that the.
Speaker B:The crime itself was so, so bad, but I feel like the players involved and what exactly happened, and the end result is like, they just killing us for free.
Speaker B:Y' all just playing in our face.
Speaker B:And you.
Speaker B:You telling us you gonna play in our face, and then you play in our face, and it's like, I.
Speaker B:Five people left, four came back.
Speaker B:And did nobody say boo?
Speaker B:All the people complaining look like me, look like us.
Speaker B:I find that fantastic in the worst way.
Speaker B:So, yeah, if my wife turned up missing, it'd be a problem.
Speaker B:Because, you know, white folks can't be missing, apparently.
Speaker B:Black people.
Speaker B:Yeah, it'll be okay.
Speaker C:I'm go.
Speaker C:I'm going step further.
Speaker C:If your wife came up missing, it would be a problem for you.
Speaker B:For me, for you.
Speaker B:Because, see, if my wife turned up missing, even though she was out of town, it's all.
Speaker B:It's all.
Speaker B:It's going to be my fault anyway.
Speaker B:They gonna question me first.
Speaker B:Even though I was here.
Speaker B:The cameras at Lipton can tell me.
Speaker B:Can tell them I'm at work.
Speaker B:The GPS on my phone can tell them I went from work to home to Harris Teeter one time, came back and then went to work and went to the gas station.
Speaker B:They can.
Speaker B:They all know where I was gone girl.
Speaker B:Man.
Speaker C:But you'd have us being investigated.
Speaker C:They'd be investigating me and Reuben because they'd be like, all right, we know where he was.
Speaker C:Now we got.
Speaker C:Now we got to question all his associates and friends.
Speaker B:Exactly.
Speaker B:Exactly.
Speaker B:So I'm telling you, I always thought they killed black people for free.
Speaker B:But this, you can't discount free.
Speaker B:So I can't go any further than free.
Speaker B:But I feel like it's discounted.
Speaker B:The free price tag on black life has been discounted.
Speaker B:And these four white boys got down, they got the discount code and hit it.
Speaker B:And then, you know, I guess they had to pay for shipping or whatever.
Speaker B:But I'm like, I. I just find the whole thing just unreasonably disrespectful.
Speaker B:I'm like,.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker B:But I put that out there.
Speaker B:I'm glad I was reminded, or I reminded myself.
Speaker B:But this whole thing, bruh, Mississippi is this.
Speaker B:I've always told y', all, and I'm not saying that you didn't know before, but I've always told y'.
Speaker B:All.
Speaker B:The Deep south, especially Mississippi, Alabama, you know, Louisiana, they are special places.
Speaker B:Mississippi being on the top of that list, because I know people that have lived there, and these people are white, and they offended.
Speaker B:And when white folks get offended, you know, it's all bad when they can't explain it away.
Speaker B:It's bad when they say it's a third world country.
Speaker B: s bad when they say it's like: Speaker B:So I just want to say something about that.
Speaker B:You can feel the way you want to feel about it, but white folks on Instagram talking about, don't let your kids hang on my kids by themselves.
Speaker B:This.
Speaker B:This is white people telling black people, you right?
Speaker B:What you got?
Speaker B:I'm telling you, man, white folks out here talking about, we watch out for your kids because it's crazy out here.
Speaker B:I have seen so many reels about that.
Speaker B:And these are white people telling you, basically, if you.
Speaker B:If your son or daughter hangs out with a bunch of our kids, I'm watching out for them because something about to happen.
Speaker B:Or something could happen.
Speaker B:Especially.
Speaker B:Especially if there are the elite, you know, socioeconomically.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Then, you know, things can happen because, you know, these people feel like they can get away with anything.
Speaker B:So you.
Speaker B:You don't have a whole.
Speaker B:You know, you're not a dollar for dollar human being.
Speaker B:You three fists.
Speaker B:Even though that was abolished a long time ago, you still are not a whole human being.
Speaker B:That's first.
Speaker B:Then you grow up with this stuff in the Deep south, especially Mississippi and all that.
Speaker B:You grow up with black people and black bodies not being valued.
Speaker B:Then you add up, you put in the money issue, and with money comes power.
Speaker B:Most of the time, these kids grow up with that, not having any responsibility.
Speaker B:And all the power, anything could happen.
Speaker B:Because at the end of the day, black people aren't real people.
Speaker B:So, yeah, just had to put that out there.
Speaker B:That was.
Speaker B:That made me feel.
Speaker B:I didn't know how I felt when I just.
Speaker B:The next level, man, this is next level.
Speaker C:I can tell you confirmed how I reacted when I was like 19, 20 years old.
Speaker C:And anybody who knows me, man, I had no problem saying it out loud.
Speaker C:I had an innate fear of large groups of affluent white people.
Speaker C:I just did not want to be in any place.
Speaker C:When I went to one of the colleges I went to, there was 64 black people.
Speaker C:The fact that I know how many black people were always made me nervous.
Speaker C:And all the people would be like, hey, man, you gonna come to the frat party this weekend?
Speaker A:Hell, no.
Speaker C:I didn't do anything on that.
Speaker C:The only thing I did was with the other fellow black people who were part of the multicultural society.
Speaker C:That was it.
Speaker C:Every weekend I left campus and people used to always ask me and I'd be like, look, man, it's not.
Speaker C:I'm not saying this about all y', all, but I'm a 6 foot 3, 300 pound black guy with a lot of red hair.
Speaker C:Anything goes down, I'm the first person identified.
Speaker C:And if anything goes down, I'm the first.
Speaker C:First person that all y' all gonna act like y' all ain't never seen before.
Speaker C:If I could, if I were to come up missing, would nobody have ever seen me before?
Speaker C:The only person in this radius that looks anything like me, and y' all be like, who?
Speaker C:Just like you said, they erased all the messages they had concerning this kid from their phone.
Speaker C:So y' all all went on a trip and came back and y' all didn't know the.
Speaker C:What did Dr.
Speaker C:Strange go with y'?
Speaker C:All?
Speaker C:And Peter Parker spelled that.
Speaker C:See, I already cursed.
Speaker C:I cursed.
Speaker C:I couldn't help it because I got upset.
Speaker A:See, that's what I was saying earlier, Ag.
Speaker B:What you were saying earlier, you went too far with the sir.
Speaker B:There have been times where you're not on.
Speaker B:On 11 and you still was cursing.
Speaker B:That's.
Speaker B:That's what you said.
Speaker A:I never just.
Speaker B:I never even said this particular thing.
Speaker B:Mo was.
Speaker B:He was right.
Speaker B:He was upset.
Speaker B:He was, you know, but that's not all the things you were saying, sir.
Speaker C:Yeah, yeah, but no, man, it's like, you know, I'm with you, Ag, man.
Speaker C:Like, it just.
Speaker C:It just affirms it, man.
Speaker C:And I hate sounding like, you know, I. I do get exhausted at people always Saying, oh, y' all always talk about race.
Speaker C:And it's like.
Speaker C:Because it's impossible not to.
Speaker C:Especially when y' all keep pointing out all the differences.
Speaker C:For me.
Speaker C:You're pointing it out for me.
Speaker C:I. I am quite.
Speaker C:It's easy for me to go a long period of time without even thinking about the idea that there are different races out there.
Speaker C:It really is.
Speaker C:However, some things just happen and I'm just like.
Speaker C:And I look around and black people give each other the universal look where we be like, hey, that ain't, that ain't concerning us.
Speaker C:That's some white people stuff they talking about.
Speaker C:Yeah, we gonna, we gonna stay out of that.
Speaker A:Like, earlier today, when I was at my.
Speaker A:My folks house, me and my dad and my younger brother on tv, we watched some dude, he was at Yellowstone, he got attacked by a bison.
Speaker A:Just yanked him up in the air, man.
Speaker A:Like, threw him up in the air.
Speaker A:First thing I said, man, I said, WPS right there.
Speaker A:Because first of all, when I went to Yellowstone, you think I got that van?
Speaker A:Hell no, I didn't get out the van.
Speaker A:I held my pistol.
Speaker A:I got outside of Yellowstone.
Speaker A:Look, bro, I don't think.
Speaker A:Look, you say what you want, but they were there before me.
Speaker A:And my little brother's like, yeah, man, dude was probably trying to take a picture or something.
Speaker A:And I was like, the fact that he was outside of his car near one of them, that was his first problem.
Speaker A:Like, come on, man.
Speaker A:Like, they were here.
Speaker A:They own that you own.
Speaker A:Well, you walk up real close, take a picture.
Speaker A:He yoked your ass.
Speaker A:And bet you ain't taking nothing now.
Speaker A:You probably walking with the of crutches.
Speaker A:I mean, it was disgusting.
Speaker A:I do went 10ft in the air, man.
Speaker A:It came down straight on that hot ass ground.
Speaker A:And I was like.
Speaker A:And I was like, yeah, we'll talk about that after next break.
Speaker A:I was like, I don't need to listen to that.
Speaker A:I already know what happened.
Speaker A:He being dumb.
Speaker A:Like, for instance, when you at the zoo don't feed the animals, Some little kid, hey, can I feed that?
Speaker A:Look, I know you can't read little girl, but your pad need to be like, no.
Speaker A:Why can't.
Speaker A:Because I said so.
Speaker A:Garden tool.
Speaker A:Like, what are we talking about?
Speaker A:Like, come on, man.
Speaker B:Did you just say garden tool?
Speaker A:I did.
Speaker B:Hey, man, have y' all seen a movie called the the Thousand Faces of Death before?
Speaker A:Hell no, I ain't watching that, bruh.
Speaker A:I've heard about it.
Speaker A:It is a whole bunch of death.
Speaker B:It is.
Speaker B:I promise you it is.
Speaker B:But the reason I brought it up is because you're talking about when you said, don't feed the animals, There's a sign that clearly.
Speaker B:Clearly says, guess he was in a national park.
Speaker B:Clearly says, don't feed the bears.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:This dude, he walked up on a bear, put his arm out to feed him, and the bear snatched his arm off and ran off with it.
Speaker B:I was like, okay.
Speaker A:Natural selection, man.
Speaker A:Natural selection.
Speaker B:Clearly, you can.
Speaker B:Even.
Speaker B:Even in the grainy video, you can see this.
Speaker B:You could clearly see where it said, don't be that.
Speaker A:Natural selection.
Speaker B:Put his arm out in the bear, snatched it off.
Speaker A:Between that and if you don't know what natural selection is, please look it up.
Speaker A:I'm just not going to explain to you what the fuck that is.
Speaker A:But you will then agree.
Speaker A:Yeah, like the Darwin Awards.
Speaker A:They created Darwin Awards for a reason.
Speaker A:All those people in Natural Selection.
Speaker A:I mean, let's go.
Speaker A:Oh, you know.
Speaker C:Oh, man.
Speaker A:Anyway, I feel privileged.
Speaker A:At least so far in my life.
Speaker A:I ain't part of that.
Speaker A:That's not the club you want to be part of.
Speaker A:Yes, man.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And now for a commercial break.
Speaker A:How you doing?
Speaker A:This is Reuben from Five Minute Warning, and I just wanted to sit here and tell you about JTD Creations.
Speaker A:They're the ones that made our shirts and even sweatshirts.
Speaker A:They're pretty dope.
Speaker A:They can put your logo on anything.
Speaker A:Shirts, jackets, hoodies, even hats.
Speaker A:They also do Stanley's and all this other stuff.
Speaker A:Anything you need a logo on, they can put it on.
Speaker A:They can do it for one or two people, or they could do it for a group.
Speaker A:It's really up to you.
Speaker A:Hit them up on JTD Creations on Facebook.
Speaker A:Once again, that's who 5 Minute Warning uses for all of our apparel.
Speaker A:And trust me, you will not be disappointed.
Speaker A:Once again, hit up JTD Creations if you need a shirt or you need anything for yourself, a family member or your crew, and let them know that Five Minute one is sent.
Speaker A:You have a great one.
Speaker B:And back to the show.
Speaker A:All right, so we got to all that crazy.
Speaker A:Let's actually get into what we need to talk about today, which is some positivity.
Speaker A:Today is this.
Speaker A:This show is about positivity of.
Speaker A:Even though we've talked about all the other before, this show is about positivity, you know?
Speaker A:And look, man, everybody can't be Michael Jordan.
Speaker A:Everybody can't be Kareem.
Speaker A:Everybody can't keep me Magic.
Speaker A:Everybody can't be Bird.
Speaker A:Everybody can't win three Super Bowls.
Speaker A:Everybody can't go Undefeated Super Bowls.
Speaker A:Everybody just can't win everything.
Speaker A:A lot of people have these special talents about doing things right.
Speaker A:And hey, look man, I feel confident making this statement.
Speaker A:I'm just an ordinary dude trying to live.
Speaker A:However, I think it's important that we all remember that good happens to you, you know, in whatever way you choose to express it or if tools to happen, it happens.
Speaker A:And it's important that we remember those positive moments in our lives because when we get old and stuff like that, or we be around friends, you know, hey man, I believe that everybody's a Mr. Me Too.
Speaker A:Or Ms. Me Too.
Speaker A:Every now and then it just happens.
Speaker A:But what I'm saying is you can't be a.
Speaker A:You can't be a person that literally says, man, I'll never know how that feels.
Speaker A:Yes, you may not know how it feels to win a world championship, but you know what?
Speaker A:You probably have done some in your life that make you feel like $5 million to you and only you.
Speaker A:And today that's what we're talking about.
Speaker A:So what I've asked the gentleman to do is come with two or three small stories to talk about that they had their championship moment or they felt like they needed to be, you know, had a parade or done for them.
Speaker A:But we all said that ain't done enough.
Speaker A:They just happy and some cool happening to them and it's something they can remember for the rest of their lives because everybody has them.
Speaker A:But I think it's important sometimes to talk about it with other people.
Speaker A:So we're gonna take the rest of this episode to do that just to show that yes, even a fat bald headed guy like myself has great things happen to him.
Speaker A:Even I'm unathletic as hell.
Speaker A:But some cool shit's happened to me in my life and I promise you, when I get a chance to talk about it, I bring it up.
Speaker A:I love it.
Speaker A:But we're not gonna start with me.
Speaker A:We're gonna start with Ag.
Speaker A:So Ag, what you got for us?
Speaker B:A funny thing because every time we talk about baseball, it's with respect to Mo.
Speaker B:But I did play baseball, you know, as a youngster.
Speaker B:My two stories came from the two years I played Little league baseball.
Speaker B:So the first one.
Speaker B:Okay, I have to.
Speaker B:The first story I have to preface with I had a.000 batting average.
Speaker B:It's like taking a test and getting no points.
Speaker A:Yeah, you hanging out with Mendoza, that's cool.
Speaker B:No, he's better than me.
Speaker B:So we were down by a run.
Speaker B:There were men on second.
Speaker B:There are Kids on second and third base.
Speaker B:So everybody's in scoring position.
Speaker B:One hit and you're done.
Speaker B:Game's over.
Speaker B:So the unfortunate thing about that was, for us was that we were in the lean part of the lineup, which I was batting last.
Speaker B:So you, you know, I couldn't hit at all.
Speaker B:So the pitcher, which we knew each other in school, Steve Andrews, he was like, I got you.
Speaker B:And he.
Speaker A:And he was right.
Speaker B:Because there's no way that anybody's thinking, if I'm not bunting, that I'm going to hit anything.
Speaker B:So I went up to bat and I was like, okay, this game is over, but since I'm here, I'm going to focus and do the best I can do.
Speaker B:So he pitched me one ball, and I'm trying to get on base because what I don't want to do is strike out.
Speaker B:The game's over, which was likely going to happen.
Speaker B:He pitched me a strike.
Speaker B:It is what it is.
Speaker B:He pitched me a ball.
Speaker B:And so I'm 2, 2, 1.
Speaker B:I'm like, okay, I think I might be okay.
Speaker B:I'm close.
Speaker B:I'm getting close.
Speaker B:So he pitched me something that was slower, like batting practice.
Speaker B:Batting practice that we had in practice sometimes.
Speaker B:And I just remember taking a swing at it and I heard a tink, because we all used aluminum bass, you know, then I don't know what they use now, but then they allowed us to use aluminum bass.
Speaker B:And I was like, oh, snap.
Speaker B:I didn't hit it hard, but I hit it hard enough, and I hit it right between his legs.
Speaker B:And because he was in the way, the shortstop in the second baseman didn't really get a good beat on it.
Speaker B:And they had to.
Speaker B:They were probably paying attention to the dude that was on second and third.
Speaker B:So by that time, the ball just dribbled out into the outfield.
Speaker B:2 Run score.
Speaker B:We won the game.
Speaker B:Yay me.
Speaker B:I ain't gonna never forget that.
Speaker B:I don't even know what Steve Andrews looks like right now, but if I could recognize him, I would say, yo, player, what's up?
Speaker B:Remember that time, don't you?
Speaker B:Don't you?
Speaker A:Got your ass.
Speaker B:So I remember that like it was yesterday.
Speaker B:Second thing.
Speaker B:Now, this is where my strengths were in little league baseball.
Speaker B:I didn't have a lot of control, but I had a strong arm.
Speaker B:I didn't have a lot of control, which, if you don't have a lot of control, you may as well not have a strong arm.
Speaker B:It's just that simple.
Speaker B:But there are times when, you know, there was one Time in practice where the ball was in shallow, shallow center, where I played center field.
Speaker B:And I picked it up.
Speaker B:And because it was so shallow, I pretended like I was second baseman and threw the guy out.
Speaker B:And everybody was sitting around going, what just happened?
Speaker B:And the only reason the first baseman was ready is because he was looking at me, looking at the ball, and he was like, he gonna throw that?
Speaker B:And so he was ready for it.
Speaker B:He caught it.
Speaker B:You're out.
Speaker B:And everybody was like, what in the world, man?
Speaker B:You gotta do that in the game.
Speaker B:I was like, no, I'm not.
Speaker B:Because I already knew, right?
Speaker B:I can't.
Speaker B:I mean, I can throw it hard, but I can't throw it where I need to throw it.
Speaker B:Well, we're playing as a night game, and my mom was there because my dad had to work.
Speaker B:And so I'm playing outfield, you know, kind of understand, you know, who has power and who doesn't.
Speaker B:So the dude that was up is a good hitter, but he doesn't hit for a lot of power.
Speaker B:So I kind of moved up a little bit.
Speaker B:And sure enough, the same scenario happened.
Speaker B:He hits it hard enough to get out of the infield, but it was really kind of just dribbling out there.
Speaker B:So I took a charge and ran.
Speaker B:Fortunately, I was already shallow to start with, picked the ball up, threw it to first, and see, my man was already ready because he had already seen this.
Speaker B:So I picked it up through a strike, never to happen again.
Speaker B:But that time I threw a strike out and no.
Speaker B:And the only people that really understood what was going on was me, the first baseman and the umpire that had to look because that's his job.
Speaker B:And he was, like, shocked, like, oh, you out.
Speaker B:And everybody kind of was like, oh,.
Speaker C:My God, you see that?
Speaker B:And my mom was sitting there, like, what happened?
Speaker B:Which is my mom.
Speaker B:So, you know, she's not a sports fan, so I understand that.
Speaker B:So it was just like.
Speaker B:I remember that like it was yesterday.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker B:But the.
Speaker B:But there is a darker side to the story, because when my dad actually showed up in the situation presented itself, I did not throw a strike.
Speaker B:He was embarrassed.
Speaker B:He was not embarrassed, but it was terrible.
Speaker B:But anyway, those two moments, all in baseball, will live in my mind rent free forever.
Speaker B:And I'm glad that they're there because I don't have a lot of athletic success on a public stage like that.
Speaker B:But those two times.
Speaker B:Absolutely.
Speaker B:So those are my two.
Speaker A:That's awesome.
Speaker A:I didn't know you played baseball.
Speaker B:Played two years of baseball.
Speaker A:Nice.
Speaker A:I played one year I was done one year.
Speaker A:Jv, man.
Speaker B:What's that?
Speaker B:That's not bad.
Speaker B:I mean, you know, at least you played with jv.
Speaker B:This was little.
Speaker A:When you.
Speaker D:Me?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Cuz then.
Speaker B:Then nobody had to make the team in Little League.
Speaker B:He just signed JV either.
Speaker B:You didn't.
Speaker A:I thought.
Speaker B:I thought when you play, like, school ball, you had to.
Speaker B:You had to, you had to.
Speaker B:You had a. I mean, we had.
Speaker A:We.
Speaker A:We just had enough people.
Speaker A:Nobody got cut.
Speaker B:Okay?
Speaker A:Is what it is.
Speaker A:All right, Moby, I know you got some stuff.
Speaker C:I mean, it's funny that you say that, like, because when I.
Speaker C:When you pose this question, I legit could not really think of anything.
Speaker C:And I don't know what that says about me.
Speaker C:I don't really remember a lot of individual moments like that.
Speaker C:I just don't.
Speaker C:Like, one moment.
Speaker C:I remember having bowling, and it was actually like the first year I moved back to Richmond, and I walked into bowling alley because there was a league going on.
Speaker C:I didn't know anybody here because I just moved here and I walked in and it was like the league night.
Speaker C:So the first night.
Speaker C:And I was just like, hey, man, does anybody need another person for their team?
Speaker C:You know, I just got here and some guys came up to me and they were like, yeah, I mean, we might need one.
Speaker C:And, you know, everybody would ask me the universal questioning bowling.
Speaker C:Hey, what's your average?
Speaker C:Like, you know, what's your average?
Speaker C:And at the time, I just moved from South Carolina, where all I did in my free time was bold.
Speaker C:So your boy was good.
Speaker C:So, like, my last book average was like 230.
Speaker C:So I was like 230.
Speaker C:And everybody was like, oh, whatever.
Speaker C:And they just like walk past me.
Speaker C:I guess everybody just assumed that I was lying because I also don't look at, like, I don't come in the bowling alley looking like, I'm a typical bowler guy.
Speaker C:I don't have the bowling shirt on.
Speaker C:Hell, I don't even think I had my bowling shoes that night.
Speaker C:I just had like one or two balls with me, and they were just like, oh, whatever.
Speaker C:And this one guy, Eddie, who still friends with, called him Fast Eddie, he was like, man, we need another one.
Speaker C:And he's like, what you say?
Speaker C:I was like, 2:30.
Speaker C:He was like, well, shoot, you probably going to be the anchor of our team.
Speaker C:But I mean, at the same time, I really don't know if Eddie believed me.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:I don't know if Eddie believed me, but Eddie was like, hey, you drink And I was like.
Speaker C:I mean, I throw down a little bit, so we were already friends.
Speaker C:We were already friends.
Speaker C:He was like, you drink?
Speaker C:I drank.
Speaker C:Cool.
Speaker C:So this year haps so get on their team.
Speaker C:And the first couple nights, everybody sees that I wasn't lying because your boy was like that.
Speaker C:I think at one point in time in that league, I was averaging 240, which was just stupid because, like I said, in South Carolina, my only free time was playing basketball.
Speaker C:Bowler.
Speaker C:That's pretty much all I did.
Speaker C:Well, we made it to the finals in that league, and so we're in the championship game.
Speaker C:So this.
Speaker C:This game, if we win, we win the entire league.
Speaker C:And I could tell everybody on our team had never really won a bowling league before.
Speaker C:Like, they were all.
Speaker C:I mean, they all bowled for a long time, but I could tell, like, they were super nervous.
Speaker C:And I think the first frame.
Speaker C:I think I. I think I missed the spare in the first frame.
Speaker C:And I could just see one of my teammates, Cecilia, and she was looking super nervous.
Speaker C:She missed her spare.
Speaker C:And I looked at her and I said, don't worry.
Speaker C:Just relax.
Speaker C:Lock in.
Speaker C:I'm not going to miss another shot the rest of the night.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker B:You caught your shot.
Speaker C:I shot279.
Speaker C:I didn't miss another shot that night.
Speaker C:And we won.
Speaker E:And.
Speaker C:And I remember feeling so happy for them.
Speaker C:Like, I mean, not humble, brag, but I'd won a league before.
Speaker C:I've been a part of teams that, you know, won before in bowling, but they were, like, super excited.
Speaker C:Eddie was just sober enough to enjoy it.
Speaker B:I'm sorry, I had to laugh.
Speaker B:That.
Speaker B:That was funny.
Speaker C:No, seriously, man, because in the championship game, we have to wait for the other teams to make it to the final game because we.
Speaker C:We got to buy.
Speaker C:So we're there at like, 6:30.
Speaker C:By the time we bowl, it's like nine.
Speaker C:And we've just been sitting there.
Speaker C:So I had to pace Eddie.
Speaker C:Like, I only was drinking that night to pace him, because I'm like, yo, man, if we let him, if we leave him to his own devices, he won't be able to bowl by the time we have to bowl.
Speaker B:Okay?
Speaker C:So, like, I was.
Speaker C:I was literally a pacer.
Speaker C:I was just like, hey, man.
Speaker B:He was like, you want another one?
Speaker C:I'm like, man, give me a couple minutes.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:I'm looking at like, come on, man.
Speaker C:Y' all gotta hurry up, man.
Speaker C:He ain't gonna.
Speaker C:Gonna be sober too much longer, man.
Speaker C:Like, I said I would all love, man, I love Eddie, man.
Speaker C:Eddie is one of the great.
Speaker C:It's one of the coolest guys, man.
Speaker C:But, I mean, at the time, man, they was drinking moonshine at the bowling alley.
Speaker B:Oh, so this wasn't just draft beer at the At.
Speaker C:Maybe bringing their own moonshine, sneaking it in the bowling alley.
Speaker C:How did he last three hours?
Speaker C:Hey, hey, look, man, he was a professional.
Speaker C:Sir, Eddie was a professional drinker, okay?
Speaker C:Wow.
Speaker B:How'd he get home?
Speaker C:You know what?
Speaker C:I never asked that.
Speaker A:He was professional drinking driver.
Speaker B:You probably.
Speaker C:He was a professional man.
Speaker C:Professional man.
Speaker C:I mean, he ain't a little that far from the bowl there, because I've been.
Speaker C:I've been in his house a couple times and, man, going to Eddie's house, man.
Speaker C:You're gonna be doing some drinking, man.
Speaker C:You are gonna be doing some drinking.
Speaker C:I think I had to stay at Eddie house a little bit longer one day because I was just like, bro, I can't drive right now, man.
Speaker C:I'm like, this is irresponsible.
Speaker A:Nice.
Speaker C:That was one of my moments, man.
Speaker C:Like, I just remember, you know, being so happy.
Speaker C:Like, I'm a real big team guy, man.
Speaker C:Like, I guess that's why it's really hard for me to think about, like, individual, like, moments.
Speaker C:Because, like, all of my favorite moments usually involve other people.
Speaker C:Except for this other moment I'm gonna talk about, because this moment is all about me.
Speaker C:There's no championship involved.
Speaker C:It's simply something that I get to tell his black ass about all the time.
Speaker C:That time I struck Ron out.
Speaker B:Oh.
Speaker B:Because when I met Ron, Ron was like, I'm pretty good baseball player.
Speaker C:Hey, Ron was a great hitter.
Speaker C:I mean, Ron.
Speaker C:I will.
Speaker C:Ron was a great hitter.
Speaker C:I watched that dude in baseball.
Speaker C:Ron could hit.
Speaker C:He really do a lot of other stuff.
Speaker C:Great in baseball, hitting, like, he's a great dh.
Speaker C:He would have been a great dh.
Speaker C:That dude could hit.
Speaker C:And at the time, I mean, by the time I got to Virginia, I wasn't pitching that much because, quite honestly, I just couldn't throw the ball hard for that long.
Speaker C:I mean, I can still throw the ball hard, but I was a closer, baby.
Speaker C:I'm like, hey, man, like, get me in for one inning and I'm out of here, Brad.
Speaker C:Like, I just ain't got it.
Speaker C:But he came up, man.
Speaker C:He had been talking so much cash stuff, man.
Speaker C:I was like, man.
Speaker C:And I just kept saying, man, I gotta strike this dude out, man.
Speaker C:I'm like, I just got to like it.
Speaker C:It's.
Speaker C:No, I can't let this dude hit the ball and we just happened to get him out.
Speaker C:Like, no know, I've got to.
Speaker C:He has got to know that there was a dominant figure today and it was me.
Speaker C:So it look struck him out in three pitches.
Speaker C:However, I say three pitches like that.
Speaker C:But it wasn't like I just like mowed him down.
Speaker C:So the first one, no, no, no, it was one foul.
Speaker C:But the first pitch I just blew a pass.
Speaker C:And the second pitch he fouled straight back.
Speaker C:But it was the way he fouled it straight back.
Speaker C:Because as hard as I threw, I wasn't used to people being able to like catch up with it.
Speaker C:Like he.
Speaker C:A quarter inch higher, that ball might still be traveling somewhere.
Speaker B:Okay, I hear that.
Speaker B:I've seen that before.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker C:Like he was all over it.
Speaker C:So I was just like, I can't do that again.
Speaker C:So I threw the slowest circle change up I had ever thrown because I'd never threw change ups.
Speaker C:I just didn't do it.
Speaker C:Like nobody ever really saw me throw an all speed pitch.
Speaker C:I threw it to Ron the one and only time and he missed so badly.
Speaker C:And he was so mad because he was like, you ain't never thrown nothing that slow before.
Speaker C:And I was just like, hey, you struck out, buddy.
Speaker C:Like I'm just saying, like, you know, here's what it is, man.
Speaker C:Sorry for your luck.
Speaker C:You know, the better man won today.
Speaker C:It's okay.
Speaker B:Really.
Speaker C:Hey, to this day, man, I like, we don't talk about basketball stuff, we don't talk about football stuff.
Speaker C:But if we ever talk about some athletic stuff, I'll be like, hey man, like we all know who the real baseball player was.
Speaker B:Like, wow, is that what we're doing?
Speaker D:Who?
Speaker B:The real baseball player.
Speaker B:Oh, that's cold.
Speaker A:That's brutal.
Speaker B:That's cold.
Speaker B:But he can't say nothing about it.
Speaker B:Cause he struck out.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:And he didn't make the school team, but he didn't make the school team because there was only one of us permitted on the team team per season.
Speaker B:One of us.
Speaker C:One black person on the team per season.
Speaker C:So.
Speaker B:Are you for real?
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker B:Oh my God.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:I think for like four or five years straight at my high school, there was only one black person.
Speaker C:It was me.
Speaker C:And then when it, when it wasn't me, it was, it was Byron Fisher.
Speaker C:You see the fact that I know these people's names, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker B:Exactly.
Speaker C:I know who the individual was who held the mantle for each individual year.
Speaker C:Like, sir, you are the Jackie Robinson of this year.
Speaker A:Hilarious.
Speaker C:But, yeah, that was it, man.
Speaker C:Like, you know, it might not be a championship to anybody, man, but, like, there's just nothing like being able to look at somebody to go, I'm better than you.
Speaker A:And, you know, it's hilarious.
Speaker A:Hilarious.
Speaker A:So I do have three because not much happens athletically on my end, but when it happens, it's glorious.
Speaker A:So freshman year at Old Dominion.
Speaker A:There's a school right beside Rogers, East Larchmont.
Speaker A:So me and a couple guys go from the dorms and go play basketball at Largemont.
Speaker A:Cool.
Speaker A:No big deal.
Speaker A:We just mess around playing like 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 or something.
Speaker A:And these high school kids walk up, yo, can we get a run?
Speaker A:Sure.
Speaker A:I mean, I was ass fat then, so I was still mobile, but I was still short, so, you know, your boy ain't.
Speaker A:I had no dribbles, so it's just what it was.
Speaker A:So we playing against these cats.
Speaker A:Boom, boom, boom.
Speaker A:You know, some of my friends, I mean, we had some players, you know, back and forth, back and forth, and it's a tie gate.
Speaker A:I think it went to 13 or something.
Speaker A:So it's 12.
Speaker A:12, You know, whatever.
Speaker A:Like, one of the dudes shoots.
Speaker A:One of my dudes on my team shoot.
Speaker A:It clanks.
Speaker A:I get the rebound.
Speaker A:I am in the paint, and there's this really tall six.
Speaker A:Six guy behind me.
Speaker A:I pumped fake, like, five times because I was just like, this guy's gonna send my.
Speaker A:Like, he's gonna send it.
Speaker A:And so on the sixth time, I threw it up once again, I'm almost under the backboard, so I'm trying to hit it off the backboard to go in.
Speaker A:Completely missed the backboard.
Speaker A:That went straight up, and then it came straight down inside the basket later, you know, whatever, Whatever.
Speaker A:You know.
Speaker A:So, of course, I'm happy as my tea.
Speaker C:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:We won.
Speaker A:A couple weeks later, we're watching tv, and I think somehow we're watching the local news.
Speaker A:Don't know why.
Speaker A:Watching local news.
Speaker A:And they would talk about this kid, you know, he was a sophomore in high school, and they were talking about, like, he was all American or whatever.
Speaker A:Like, all Hampton Roads.
Speaker A:It was Joe Smith.
Speaker B:I knew you're gonna say that.
Speaker A:Knew it.
Speaker B:As soon as you said.
Speaker B:And I put, man, you gotta shot.
Speaker A:I scored a winning basket over Joe Smith's ass.
Speaker A:I was like, yeah, that guy's good and I suck, and I scored over him.
Speaker B:Is that what you said to yourself?
Speaker C:That guy's good and I suck, but I scored on him.
Speaker A:I never said my basketball Skills are great because they're not.
Speaker A:They're just not.
Speaker A:So that's my first basketball story.
Speaker A:Second basketball story.
Speaker A:About two years after now I was.
Speaker A:I was working at camp.
Speaker A:I was a staff member.
Speaker A:Boom, boom, boom.
Speaker A:Between that and then I got some basketball skills.
Speaker A:You know, I was a little bit more athletic.
Speaker A:I lost some weight.
Speaker A:Not a lot, but enough, you know, whatever, whatever.
Speaker A:I could dribble between my legs then.
Speaker A:So where I can't playing basketball, very simple rules.
Speaker A:Like, because I was a staff member, so I was an adult.
Speaker A:So two staff members couldn't be on the same team.
Speaker A:Cool.
Speaker A:No problem.
Speaker A:Another staff member played against.
Speaker A:Same thing with counselors and kids.
Speaker A:So of course the goal is to, you know, pass the ball.
Speaker A:You want the kids, you know what, the kids score.
Speaker A:So we're playing and I get on a heater.
Speaker A:I'm at camp playing basketball.
Speaker A:Everything I'm hitting deep shots, close shots, layups.
Speaker A:I mean,.
Speaker E:I.
Speaker A:That was before Michael Jordan was Michael Jordan.
Speaker A:But your boy's in fuego.
Speaker A:And so, boom, boom, boom.
Speaker A:And it's just like, once again, Mobius see me play basketball.
Speaker A:Not good.
Speaker A:But then for that moment, I was good.
Speaker A:And so cross up some kid.
Speaker A:I mean, you in front of me, brother.
Speaker A:It's your fault.
Speaker A:Cross him up.
Speaker A:Came from the top, went to the side.
Speaker A:Moby, do I shoot good from the side of the basket?
Speaker C:I'm gonna have to say no.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker A:I'm terrible.
Speaker A:Absolutely terrible.
Speaker A:But once again, best shape of my life.
Speaker A:Best basketball.
Speaker A:Saved my life.
Speaker A:I went up, I left the ground.
Speaker A:I let.
Speaker A:I jumped, I left the ground.
Speaker A:There's this Counselor, dude's like 6:2, man.
Speaker A:He's got his hand up and I had a shot and I shot over.
Speaker A:He missed, blocking it by like inches.
Speaker A:Swish over.
Speaker A:Get off my court.
Speaker A:Talk mad.
Speaker A:That day was awesome.
Speaker A:Without talking.
Speaker A:I mean, you know, the kids like, yeah, yeah, cookie.
Speaker A:Yeah, cookie.
Speaker A:You know, adulation.
Speaker A:Counsel wasn't happy, but it is what it is.
Speaker C:Did you say you talked mad trash without talking?
Speaker A:No, no, I didn't curse.
Speaker C:Okay, how about certain level, right?
Speaker C:I never heard you win anything and not be talking trash.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker A:Like, I was like, hey man, good game.
Speaker A:Whatever.
Speaker A:I got you.
Speaker A:Like, oh, you know.
Speaker A:And then the rest of the week, he had to hear about it.
Speaker A:Cuz I stopped playing basketball at that moment.
Speaker A:Cuz I realized, hey, man, it happens to you.
Speaker A:Once you get off the court, never go back.
Speaker A:Nobody ever say they guess your ass.
Speaker A:So that was number two.
Speaker A:Here's number three.
Speaker A:Happen.
Speaker A:I would say it happened this was.
Speaker A:Maybe it's after Covid, I don't remember.
Speaker A:So I was playing some of my boys shout out to Harold.
Speaker A:Shout out to dotwhy.
Speaker A:On Sundays.
Speaker A:It was just a pickup game.
Speaker A:Whole bunch of people you knew, whatever, whatever.
Speaker A:Did you call Dodie dotwhy I did.
Speaker A:That's what I called that one.
Speaker B:I was wondering what that was.
Speaker C:That's what.
Speaker A:Yeah, he's, you know, his name's, his name's Dodie.
Speaker A:I call him Dawa.
Speaker A:So been playing basketball with these guys for a minute.
Speaker A:Whatever, whatever.
Speaker A:Once again, for me it was about, it was about exercise and moving.
Speaker A:Because at this point in time I was closer to the 200, the 350 pound range.
Speaker A:So for me running up and down the court was exercise.
Speaker A:Just what it was.
Speaker A:Basketball skills non existent.
Speaker A:Every once in a while.
Speaker A:I hate a jumper.
Speaker A:So when we played we had, we were at a gym and we had control over the clock.
Speaker A:So we would play like 12 minute games or whatever.
Speaker A:In this game it was me, Dodie was on my team.
Speaker A:We had this young kid who played at one of the Catholic schools.
Speaker A:He was somebody's kid, whatever.
Speaker A:But he liked playing with old people because he knew he could do whatever the he wanted.
Speaker A:I mean we're old bro, so is what it is.
Speaker A:So yeah, like he's on my team.
Speaker A:Whatever and task or the clock's going down, we call timeout.
Speaker A:The play is hey, give it to the young buck.
Speaker A:The young bucks gonna take it in and win.
Speaker A:Makes sense, no problems.
Speaker A:I threw the ball in.
Speaker A:Why?
Speaker A:Because I'm the one who can't shoot.
Speaker A:So we're not gonna, you know, if I get the ball, they're probably gonna take it from me.
Speaker A:We're not doing that.
Speaker A:So boom.
Speaker A:Pass it to the guy guys like six two, lanky, you know, whatever, whatever.
Speaker A:Tall white guy.
Speaker A:That's just the best way to say it.
Speaker A:So he takes the dribble.
Speaker A:Now I'm closer to the half court line on the left.
Speaker A:I passed to him, he came and got it.
Speaker A:He dribbles all the way around.
Speaker A:Because at this point in time everybody know who's taking a damn shot.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:Well, he takes it, he takes it.
Speaker C:Around.
Speaker A:And he's going for a layup.
Speaker A:I can tell what he's about to do.
Speaker A:So of course your boy, Mr.
Speaker A:Fundamental over here.
Speaker A:Because if I ain't got no skill, I got fundamental.
Speaker A:I see this, I.
Speaker A:Nobody's checking me by the way, like because Reuben ain't taking his shot.
Speaker A:This ain't happened.
Speaker A:So they always tell if you're a shooter, you follow your shot.
Speaker A:I'm not a shooter.
Speaker A:But Soleil, he's gonna make it, whatever.
Speaker A:Now I was like, you know what, let me move up.
Speaker A:So he goes, goes for his layup, padded layup, Two guys jump up with him.
Speaker A:He misses the layup.
Speaker A:Remember, we have time.
Speaker A:We had like 10, 12 seconds.
Speaker A:So he goes for a layup, misses it.
Speaker A:I come, I come and I tip the ball.
Speaker A:I was kind of off balance.
Speaker A:Once again, I'm still fat, I'm off balance.
Speaker A:I tip the ball up and I'd fail backwards until the wall and I see the ball.
Speaker A:Apparently it bounced around a little bit.
Speaker A:Cuz once I tipped, went burn.
Speaker A:You know the time it bounced around and I'm on the ground and I see it come through the basket, Boom, game over, got up, Dody came over, you know, did a air chest bump.
Speaker A:Everybody was like, oh my God, there are people like literally their mouths wide of like.
Speaker A:Because once again, I don't do shit.
Speaker A:But hey man, you gotta, gotta go for the rebound.
Speaker A:And I just tipped that shit up and it went in and I was like, yes, next game we got an ass beat, but who cares?
Speaker A:I got mine.
Speaker A:And so like, yeah, man, all I'm saying is it's okay to talk about oneself some of the time, just not all the time.
Speaker A:But you got to have memories in your brain about cool that's happened to you.
Speaker A:I ain't never win the NBA title, I ain't never win a Super Bowl.
Speaker A:Hell, I probably never go to a Super Bowl.
Speaker A:But you know what I can say I tipped that ball in and won that game.
Speaker A:I felt like a million bucks for like all of 10 seconds.
Speaker A:And I was cool with that.
Speaker A:So all I'm saying out there to all you people, when you feel like you nothing's going right, there's got to be some cool shit that's happened to you in your life.
Speaker A:And that's when you remember the cool shit.
Speaker A:Because right, really, the only people you could talk to about this is yourself.
Speaker A:You might be able to talk to some friends about it.
Speaker A:But for real, there are times where I'd be thinking about, I'll be watching basketball and I remember that tip shot.
Speaker A:I'd be like, hell yeah, I did that.
Speaker A:The only difference was somebody got paid to do that and I did.
Speaker A:Luckily, I didn't tear my anything.
Speaker C:That's a big difference though.
Speaker C:Just let's know.
Speaker A:It's a huge difference.
Speaker C:It's a big difference.
Speaker A:Just because I didn't make a million Bucks.
Speaker A:I felt like a million bucks, and I was cool with that.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:Yeah, man, everybody still play basketball.
Speaker C:Do they still do that on Sunday?
Speaker A:I don't think so.
Speaker A:I have no idea.
Speaker A:That was bad.
Speaker A:I think I played, like, two more Sundays, and I was done.
Speaker A:Sometimes you got to go out on top, baby.
Speaker C:I'm saying was some.
Speaker C:It was some decent runs out there, man.
Speaker C:A couple times.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:It wasn't bad, but.
Speaker A:Yeah, sometimes you gotta.
Speaker C:You gotta remember when you describe that young buck.
Speaker C:I remember.
Speaker C:I know the kid.
Speaker C:I remember the kids you talking about.
Speaker A:Yeah, man.
Speaker A:I mean.
Speaker A:I mean, especially for us, that kid was a baller, you know?
Speaker A:It was just.
Speaker A:I'm glad he was on my team, Angie.
Speaker C:I just want to let you know I gave that young boy the blues when I went out there, though.
Speaker B:That was funny.
Speaker B:He gave him the blues, Joe.
Speaker A:So, one.
Speaker A:I will say this.
Speaker A:I will say this, and then I'll move on.
Speaker A:I'll get you Brit.
Speaker A:So back in college, you know, Moby played basketball.
Speaker A:We play intramurals together.
Speaker A:So there's this one game.
Speaker A:It's like the semifinals.
Speaker B:It was this dude named Pete.
Speaker B:Pete.
Speaker A:I don't care.
Speaker A:I ain't protected no innocent.
Speaker A:I don't know his last name, because I don't care.
Speaker A:But he hated us.
Speaker A:Well, he hated one of our friends who no longer went to school with us.
Speaker A:Because Dre was gone then, right?
Speaker C:Yeah, Dre.
Speaker C:Gradually.
Speaker A:Yeah, but he.
Speaker A:He didn't really.
Speaker A:I. I guess they had.
Speaker C:They had some time, some type of beef.
Speaker A:But the next year, he gave it to us.
Speaker A:He brought it to us.
Speaker A:I was like, oh, my.
Speaker A:We don't.
Speaker A:We don't care about you.
Speaker A:You ain't nothing.
Speaker A:And so he would talk.
Speaker A:Chat.
Speaker A:You talk.
Speaker A:He would talk.
Speaker A:Coach Cash, I can't back it up because we play him in the semifinals.
Speaker A:My rt, I didn't play.
Speaker A:I was a coach.
Speaker A:So, like, I was just yelling at.
Speaker A:One thing I can't do is see.
Speaker A:I can't play, but I can see, so.
Speaker A:And I was just annoying as hell.
Speaker A:So we're getting our ass beat.
Speaker A:Like, we're getting our ass beat.
Speaker A:And, you know, Moby is like this big, tall guy.
Speaker A:He's like, I got a tall guy for you to Moby.
Speaker A:And Moby's like, whatever.
Speaker A:And at the beginning, Car guy was doing okay.
Speaker A:No big deal.
Speaker A:So we're.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:We're playing.
Speaker A:You know, we're playing.
Speaker A:I'm coaching and playing, and I don't know how this happened, but it's probably the Craziest MOBI move I've ever seen.
Speaker A:So this dude, he was getting annoying.
Speaker B:Pete was getting annoying.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:And he tries to steal the ball.
Speaker A:And it looked like Moby moved it.
Speaker A:It looked like he was about to fall.
Speaker A:This dude takes the ball, stays dribbling, like, turns.
Speaker A:Like, literally, he's turning in midair, rebalancing himself, doing some shit like this and still dribbling the ball.
Speaker A:And I was like, what the hell was that?
Speaker A:Then it comes down and makes a shot, and I'm just like, what?
Speaker A:And literally, I remember Pete's face.
Speaker A:He was just like, what the hell was that?
Speaker B:Like, lit.
Speaker A:Because everybody was like, wow.
Speaker A:Like, impressed.
Speaker A:But I was like, you know, MLB was like, you know, just another Tuesday.
Speaker A:What are we doing out here?
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker A:And of course, I just didn't want.
Speaker C:That dude talk no more.
Speaker C:I didn't even know Pete.
Speaker C:He talked to me.
Speaker C:I didn't even know him.
Speaker B:So he hates you on association, then.
Speaker A:Yeah, we're straight.
Speaker A:Guilty association.
Speaker A:And here's the thing that sparked the comeback.
Speaker A:And next thing you know, also, y'.
Speaker B:All were losing at the time.
Speaker B:Oh, we were losing.
Speaker A:He did that.
Speaker A:Everybody was shook.
Speaker A:Like, everybody on their team was completely shook.
Speaker A:We were kind of shook, too, but we.
Speaker A:We rubbed that off.
Speaker A:And next thing you know, Moby's hitting threes in a big dude's face.
Speaker A:He's working a dude in the paint.
Speaker A:Like, that dude reminded that he was soft.
Speaker C:That dude ain't had nothing to do with it, man.
Speaker C:This won't even about you, dog.
Speaker C:I don't even understand.
Speaker C:I was telling him every time I got involved, this ain't about you, dog.
Speaker A:Here's the craziest.
Speaker A:Like, what would happen is, let's say he gets in the paint and Moby don't really have a shot.
Speaker A:He passes it wide open.
Speaker A:Be dizzle three.
Speaker A:I mean, like, everybody starts to hit everybody.
Speaker A:We beat that dude, his team, man.
Speaker A:He was so pissed, he didn't even really shake hands.
Speaker A:I think he gave a halfway dap, but we were just like, sup, man?
Speaker A:I don't think he ever talked to us again.
Speaker A:It was crazy.
Speaker C:That dude, Pete was.
Speaker C:They were up by, like, almost 20, man.
Speaker A:That dude.
Speaker C:And he just kept talking to me because I was like, why are you talking to me?
Speaker B:That's fine.
Speaker C:I really don't be talking, you know, So I really don't be talking, man.
Speaker A:And, I mean, you know me.
Speaker A:I was on the sidelines.
Speaker B:I feel bad for this playing against, though.
Speaker B:This ain't about you, man.
Speaker B:This Ain't even about you, man.
Speaker A:I started talking.
Speaker A:I was like, you walk up the Beast.
Speaker C:I specifically remember one shot, man.
Speaker C:This tall dude was like, on me.
Speaker C:It was like right at the beginning of when we started coming back, Peter said something to me and I was just like, man, I'm about to start shooting now.
Speaker C:I'm just going.
Speaker C:And I. I was like maybe 10ft behind the three point line, and I just did a crossover.
Speaker C:I pulled up and I could hear Ruben going, no.
Speaker C:And I just shot it and turned around.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker C:And I looked at him, I looked at Ruben.
Speaker C:I'm like, we good, man.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:He hits.
Speaker A:I go, yes.
Speaker A:I was like, this guy's in his bag today.
Speaker A:Oh, God.
Speaker A:Because I've seen him get.
Speaker A:I've seen him play with necessity, and he was playing with necessity that day.
Speaker A:I did not want to hear that.
Speaker C:Dude talk no more, man.
Speaker A:Yeah, I just.
Speaker A:It didn't matter.
Speaker C:It was just like, man, I just.
Speaker A:Need not talking no more.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Because it was like he was out there doing, like, whack ass passes, you know, you know, sort of, you know, behind the back, you know, whatever.
Speaker A:Like, he, like, he has skills and like, look, I never hated on the dude, but the dude came to us like we was in Moby's hallway at University Village.
Speaker A:Yeah, man, we gonna beat y' all in the next game.
Speaker A:Because they beat us in the regular season without Moby, okay?
Speaker A:Because he had a prior engagement and they won.
Speaker A:And he thought, oh, is that that.
Speaker B:Story where everybody knew that you needed you.
Speaker B:You.
Speaker B:Why you weren't there?
Speaker B:But they were still mad anyway.
Speaker A:Kind of.
Speaker A:Yes, I remember that story.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Now it's got even more context.
Speaker A:Yeah, but.
Speaker A:Yeah, but the second time, I mean, and they were up by 20.
Speaker A:Hey, hey, people who listen, if you play any sports, don't wake the beast.
Speaker A:Just don't wake the beast.
Speaker A:Be up by 20.
Speaker A:Shut the up.
Speaker B:Like, who can do that, though?
Speaker A:But, bro, hey, man, 28.
Speaker C:I can't.
Speaker C:I can't ag personally, I can 20, 20.
Speaker B:But a lot of people, a lot of people just can't help themselves.
Speaker A:Yeah, ask Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker A:They know.
Speaker A:I mean, hey, man, you up 23.
Speaker A:Talking that, hey, we're gonna throw the ball wrong with you.
Speaker A:That's why that dude will never win a championship.
Speaker A:I don't care who's on his team.
Speaker A:He's never going to win a championship because he does dumb.
Speaker A:Like, we know you're going to San Francisco.
Speaker A:You're the offensive coordinator of the Falcons.
Speaker A:You're beating the Patriots 28 to 3, and it's like the 40 yard line.
Speaker A:Hey, man, let's just go ahead and get this field goal and, like, close this.
Speaker A:No, we're gonna throw the ball three times, and the third time it got picked off.
Speaker A:Hey, let's give Tom Brady some life.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker A:How'd that work out for you?
Speaker A:So that's not even the first time he's done that.
Speaker A:And I'm gonna leave it there because I ain't.
Speaker A:I'm not trying to say his name, and all I can do is get me pissed off and.
Speaker A:What's on your mind?
Speaker A:You don't understand the hatred I have for this man.
Speaker A:I hope he never wins.
Speaker A:Like, I don't want him to ever win the Super Bowl.
Speaker A:And I feel bad because I like some of the players on that damn team.
Speaker A:I hope he never wins a Super Bowl.
Speaker A:The fact, like, I want.
Speaker A:I want Aaron Donald to come out of retirement just to make sure that doesn't get there.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker A:Oh, man, I hate Cat.
Speaker A:I hate the Cowboys.
Speaker A:I hate that more.
Speaker B:That's saying a lot for you, sir.
Speaker A:It is.
Speaker A:It is well documented.
Speaker B:Is that a name that cannot be spoken?
Speaker C:I mean, Shanahan more than the Cowboys, bro.
Speaker C:Hey, man.
Speaker A:Yo, man, we're playing Denver.
Speaker A:Denver's undefeated.
Speaker A:We're up 21 3.
Speaker A:It's a third quarter.
Speaker A:Why is RG3 throwing the ball three times in a row?
Speaker A:Your.
Speaker A:Your running back.
Speaker C:You still mad at him about RG3,.
Speaker A:Bro?
Speaker C:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker A:The running back has over 100 yards rushing.
Speaker A:Run the ball.
Speaker A:Like, what are we doing?
Speaker C:Hey, hey, Reuben, I don't know if you're aware of this.
Speaker C: It's: Speaker C: You talking about, like, some: Speaker A:I don't give a damn that guy.
Speaker A:And, yo, man, I hated him then and everything after that.
Speaker A:I just.
Speaker A:Look, man, I don't know the dude personally.
Speaker A:I just feel like the football gods will forever on him for doing dumb when he was a coordinator.
Speaker A:And I'm with that, so.
Speaker A:And my uncle's a San Francisco fan.
Speaker A:I feel bad for him because as long as he's your coach, I ain't never winning.
Speaker A:Y' all gonna get there, and you're never gonna win it.
Speaker A:It's just what it is.
Speaker A:I'm sorry, ag.
Speaker A:What's on your mind, sir?
Speaker B:Actually, I forgot.
Speaker B:I wasn't so into your anger.
Speaker A:I was good.
Speaker A:All show, too.
Speaker B:You really were.
Speaker B:Oh, that's what I was gonna say.
Speaker B:I was gonna say.
Speaker B:I already mentioned it, but affluent black people or black people that are in A certain situation because their socioeconomics are and they're different and you had kids.
Speaker B:We have situations that have happened that let you know it's still real.
Speaker B:There is no real progress.
Speaker B:The only progress is policy and they're taking that away.
Speaker B:Just be aware.
Speaker B:Take care of your kids.
Speaker B:They're hunting and all the laws that gave them leash are going away.
Speaker B:Take care of your kids.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:So quick.
Speaker A:Brett.
Speaker A:My claim is making all district D tackle and office of God.
Speaker A:Oh, oh, and 10t.
Speaker C:Oh, hey, that's impressive.
Speaker A:You made audition get two positions and your team didn't win like 13.
Speaker A:That's cuz somebody feel bad for your ass.
Speaker B:Am I wrong?
Speaker C:OB I mean.
Speaker C:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:The next year the new guy wore my number and almost he got beat down.
Speaker A:I knew cuz his girlfriend saw me.
Speaker A:I don't.
Speaker A:Terry Kirby, NFL great, played against us.
Speaker A:They won 56 and none.
Speaker A:He had 4 yards rushes to my side.
Speaker A:Okay, that's dope.
Speaker A:Terry Curry is a damn beast.
Speaker A:I was known for tackling.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker C:But I said, I remember them games where teams just decided to go the other way.
Speaker C:So frustrating.
Speaker A:I was known for tackling running backs with linemen.
Speaker A:Just throwing 250 pound guy like toys.
Speaker A:Yo, Brent did that shit in high school football, man.
Speaker A:I ain't mad at him.
Speaker A:That Terry Kirby thing.
Speaker A:Not many people can say that, cuz that dude ran over damn near everybody in high school.
Speaker A:All right, Moby, what's on your mind, sir?
Speaker C:All right, man.
Speaker C:So my wife got me today, man.
Speaker B:And.
Speaker C:I'm not.
Speaker C:No, no, man.
Speaker C:I'm not mad at her.
Speaker D:She.
Speaker C:She didn't do anything wrong, but she got me, man.
Speaker C:So I'm stuck sitting down because I can.
Speaker C:I'm in a position where I got to be stuck there for like three, four hours.
Speaker C:Nowhere I can go, nothing I can do.
Speaker C:So she takes the opportunity to start watching a show on Netflix that she knows.
Speaker C:She knows in her soul.
Speaker C:She knows in her heart that I don't want anything to do with this show.
Speaker A:Not that.
Speaker C:But she's like.
Speaker C:But she's like, hey, you gonna be here?
Speaker C:I'm gonna be here.
Speaker C:What's up?
Speaker C:So she starts watching the show on Netflix.
Speaker C:I don't know if you heard of it.
Speaker C:It's called the Polygamist.
Speaker C:I guess it's some.
Speaker C:I guess it's some African.
Speaker C:Some.
Speaker C:Some.
Speaker C:Some other country show because it's like probably a bb.
Speaker C:It's dubbed.
Speaker C:But it's on Netflix.
Speaker C:And as I'm watching it, I'm just going Tyler Perry has sabotaged black film because.
Speaker C:Because I know Tyler Perry has nothing to do with this, but I feel like he has everything to do with this because Tyler Perry might had nothing to do with the show, the plot, the.
Speaker C:The story, nothing.
Speaker C:But I know damn well he had character development because these are Tyler pair of characters.
Speaker C:Like every woman is a full fledged nuanced human character.
Speaker C:And every man is just in extreme.
Speaker C:He's either the worst piece of shit ever walking the planet or they're saying there is no nuance for a Tyler Perry male character.
Speaker C:You are either great, exceedingly great, or you are literally one step above the devil.
Speaker A:That's it.
Speaker C:Like you, you are one step above the devil.
Speaker C:And even sometimes he side eyes you.
Speaker C:Like, that's.
Speaker A:I'm sorry, I'm just watching the show.
Speaker C:And I'm just like, man.
Speaker C:And this is, this is not a shot, but it kind of is.
Speaker A:I was gonna say it's a shot.
Speaker C:Women are so easy to entertain.
Speaker C:All you gotta do is give them a story that has some male figure, some black male figure that's just an awful person.
Speaker C:And it's just like, hey, this show is awesome.
Speaker C:Because I'm just like, this show literally does not make logical sense.
Speaker A:On the gates.
Speaker E:And.
Speaker C:And then there's some editorial things that just keep happening in the scenes that.
Speaker A:Did you see the microphone?
Speaker A:No, no, no, no.
Speaker C:It's not that.
Speaker C:It's not that.
Speaker C:It might be just one me nitpicking, but these people don't close doors.
Speaker C:So every scene that happens near the front door of the house, like somebody will walk in the house, they'll start talking, they'll have a full fledged conversation.
Speaker A:Everybody leave the door still open so all the flies and can get in.
Speaker C:And I'm just, I'm just like, yo.
Speaker C:So, so we just ain't got it in the budget to close the door.
Speaker C:Like, And, and the dude who has like all these different women, you're kind of learning about the multiple women coming up as like this dude has an infinite supply of flowers because every time he comes in a scene with one of the one some woman, he's got another thing of flowers for him.
Speaker C:So I'm just like, yo.
Speaker C:And they, they kind of tell you what this guy does for a living, but you don't really know what this guy does for a living.
Speaker C:But the one thing that they have established that he's got to be rich because there's no way this dude can make all the moves he's making without being filthy rich.
Speaker C:Because like he, he out here balding, out of control, all over the place, man.
Speaker C:And it's just a wild story, man.
Speaker C:I gotta say, I'm in it now.
Speaker C:Like, I'm fully in it.
Speaker C:I'm in it now because I'm just.
Speaker C:I'm just like, yo, there's only so many places this story can go.
Speaker C:And I know it's got to go.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker C:He's either got a tolerance, this thing all together, where he's gotta completely reward some woman for terrible behavior, or.
Speaker C:Or he's got to make all these women unified together and destroy this guy.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:And I'm just like, now I'm just trying to figure out how.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker C:It's 12 more episodes.
Speaker C:It's like 22 episodes.
Speaker C:I'm already like, 10 episodes.
Speaker C:I'm like 10 episodes in.
Speaker A:She said she didn't ask or force you to watch.
Speaker C:Once again, I never say she did.
Speaker C:I was very, very careful about how I worded.
Speaker C:I said I was in a position where I couldn't go nowhere for three or four.
Speaker C:Four hours.
Speaker C:And she took the opportunity to say that she was gonna watch the show.
Speaker C:Angie, is that not how I put it?
Speaker A:I did not.
Speaker C:So I was forced.
Speaker B:That's exactly what you said.
Speaker B:Exactly what you said.
Speaker B:But that was.
Speaker B:But you also said she ain't do nothing wrong.
Speaker B:I beg.
Speaker C:No, but here's the thing.
Speaker C:Just as she stated, I was watching a whole nother screen doing something else.
Speaker C:However, she was in the room with me with a bigger screen, watching a.
Speaker A:Show with a bigger screen.
Speaker B:I think that's interpretation of the law.
Speaker A:It is.
Speaker C:And look, man, I didn't say she did anything wrong.
Speaker C:I'm.
Speaker C:I'm simply going to say it was well played.
Speaker C:Well played.
Speaker B:Thank you for saying that.
Speaker A:So you're saying this dude was a black Victor Newman?
Speaker C:You know, I don't even know how to describe this dude because, like, it instead starts off like.
Speaker C:I will say the order in which they're selling the story.
Speaker C:I give it to them.
Speaker C:The order of the story is good because they keep giving you bits and pieces, and then they'll go back in time to give you a little bit more context, bits and pieces.
Speaker C:I'm just like, hey, very, very good storyteller.
Speaker A:But that's how you.
Speaker C:Stupid story.
Speaker C:It's a stupid story.
Speaker A:That's all you do is.
Speaker C:It's a completely unbelievable story, except for the fact that it's probably very believable because I already said this dude got to be filthy rich.
Speaker C:Because, I mean, we.
Speaker C:We can establish it and we can feel confident in saying, if you are a very rich guy, you can get away with a lot of stupid.
Speaker A:It's, it's.
Speaker C:It's just kind of what it is now.
Speaker C:Like, sure, sure, a whole bunch of women can hit me with the whole, I've got morals and I've got respect.
Speaker C:Respect for myself and I've got values.
Speaker C:But everything about social media and the way y' all broadcast also says you have a price tag.
Speaker C:So you might have all of those things, but for the right price, you'll give a.
Speaker C:A discount.
Speaker A:I mean, they also got a song.
Speaker B:Called Price Tag, you know, I'll give.
Speaker C:You like 40 off on this respect if you paid enough.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, wow, that's hilarious.
Speaker C:Look, man, she got me.
Speaker C:So what's on my mind is the fact that I still got like 12 more episodes of a show that I had no desire to get in.
Speaker C:And now I'm just like, now I just gotta see where this foolishness goes.
Speaker C:Like, that's, that's where I'm at now.
Speaker C:I am officially, like, I gotta see where this foolishness goes.
Speaker A:Now, looking at the train track now because.
Speaker C:Because now I gotta figure out, like, I got so many questions about this guy character that I know they're not gonna answer.
Speaker C:Like, one, one.
Speaker C:How can we never see this dude doing Viagra or some type of ED pill?
Speaker C:Because this dude is just out here slinging and banging at an unbelievable clip to be 45 years old.
Speaker C:He just had his 45th birthday.
Speaker C:And look, man, I'm in my mid-40s, and I'm just like, look, at my best, at my best, I couldn't be slinging it.
Speaker C:Like, this brother is doing, like, he's all over the place with it.
Speaker C:Women, I mean, not all different types.
Speaker C:I mean, it's.
Speaker C:It was like, it seemed like it was one type, and then we found out about his.
Speaker C:I guess.
Speaker C:I guess I can call her a day one.
Speaker C:You just found out that there was a day one who does not fit the physical description of the other women.
Speaker C:So it's like, now.
Speaker C:I don't know what it is.
Speaker C:I think if you feed this dude, literally, and, and in ego wise, like, I mean, he'll.
Speaker C:He'll drop you off some penis this.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Like, he, he is.
Speaker C:He is all about sliding in, man.
Speaker C:Like, yo, the level of, like, boldness that they've given the guy, like, that's what I keep telling my wife.
Speaker C:I'm just like, yo, it's not Even the fact that the story is wild.
Speaker C:It's just the fact that, like, no could operate like this.
Speaker C:Like, he just.
Speaker C:Just the way he's going about, I'm like, look, the most of.
Speaker C:Can't operate.
Speaker C:Like, he operates.
Speaker B:Well, he does.
Speaker C:Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker B:And I'm just like.
Speaker C:And I'm like, yo.
Speaker C:And as a guy.
Speaker C:As a guy who knows other guys, who's been around a lot other guys, I'm simply going, that don't exist.
Speaker C:So why are these women like?
Speaker C:Like, oh, man, he's such a bad.
Speaker C:Oh, is this character.
Speaker C:Oh, because that's how guys be.
Speaker C:Like, no, no, man.
Speaker C:No is like that.
Speaker C:I promise you, no can even dream of being like that.
Speaker C:Like, even a dude that wants to be true game asshole.
Speaker A:Ish.
Speaker C:Like, even that dude who's like, man, I want to dedicate my life to being the biggest piece of male garbage ever.
Speaker C:Can only dream of being this guy.
Speaker A:Only dream of it.
Speaker C:And even then in his head, he'd be like, but that's just unrealistic, sir.
Speaker C:That dream was too big.
Speaker C:That dream is too big.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker A:Shout out to that guy.
Speaker C:Yeah, so.
Speaker C:So look, I'm gonna give you a breakdown of one scene.
Speaker C:Just one little scene.
Speaker C:So his side chick, who.
Speaker A:Which one is the guy?
Speaker C:The main character, side chick, who ends up being his second wife.
Speaker C:But realistically, you find out it's his third wife, but another part of the story.
Speaker C:But his second wife had just had twins that his first wife had just found out about.
Speaker C:And the way she found out about it was she caught him in the hospital when the babies were delivered because they were Just happened to be in the hospital at the same time.
Speaker C:That's not even part of my story.
Speaker C:So he goes to side chick's house, who.
Speaker C:She just had twins, just had twins.
Speaker C:And he comes over there because his main chick kind of pushed him away a little bit.
Speaker C:So he's like, hey, man, this dick hard.
Speaker C:Gotta do something with it.
Speaker C:So he goes to the second chick's house and he's like, hey, what's up, baby?
Speaker C:I can't wait.
Speaker C:Literally, that's what he says, you know, I can't wait.
Speaker C:And she's like, but I can't do anything for six weeks because I had to have a C section.
Speaker C:You're not gonna rip these stitches.
Speaker C:And my mother is literally in the other room.
Speaker E:You could see.
Speaker C:See her mother in the picture in the other room.
Speaker C:And he's like, my mother's right here asleep.
Speaker C:And he was like, but You've got other ways you can do it.
Speaker C:And he, like, just kind of pushes her head down.
Speaker C:And I'm just like, first of all, wow.
Speaker C:No can be that bold.
Speaker A:I just can't.
Speaker A:I can't believe it.
Speaker B:He can't.
Speaker C:I can't ag.
Speaker C:Can you believe that?
Speaker B:Like, could you believe that's a real.
Speaker C:Person that could do that?
Speaker B:No, I can't.
Speaker B:I don't think stuff from a C section is like, this is what we're doing.
Speaker D:Okay.
Speaker A:I mean, I thought he was talking about the other way.
Speaker B:Honestly, based on what Mo was saying, I'm surprised he didn't look at her and say, well, I know what a C section is.
Speaker B:The coochie is.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:So I think we're waiting for it.
Speaker B:What are we waiting for?
Speaker C:Hey, look, man, I'm just saying.
Speaker C:That's all.
Speaker C:That's all.
Speaker B:I'm just saying, too.
Speaker B:I'm just like.
Speaker B:I'm surprised he didn't just try to hit it, because the C section has nothing to do with vagina.
Speaker B:None.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker C:Winter said that's exactly what he said.
Speaker C:Does it.
Speaker C:Your mouth work?
Speaker A:Yeah, that's what he said.
Speaker C:That's what he said.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:You know how.
Speaker A:You know how insanely ballsy you got to be?
Speaker C:No, No, I don't, because I don't believe it could actually happen in.
Speaker C:In that context.
Speaker C:I don't believe.
Speaker C:Because, first of all, he wasn't just coming over there and like, all right, we cool.
Speaker C:She was mad at him already for being with the main chick anyway, so she was mad at him.
Speaker C:He was like, you know, I can't wait six weeks.
Speaker A:Does it.
Speaker C:Your mouth work?
Speaker C:And she was like, don't you wait.
Speaker C:The kids.
Speaker C:You can see them all.
Speaker C:He's, like, literally looking at the mom that like.
Speaker C:Like, come on, man.
Speaker C:I'm just like, yo, man, this ain't no real, man.
Speaker C:Like, don't.
Speaker B:But more is real.
Speaker C:Because, yeah, y' all need to have somebody in the room.
Speaker C:Which, when y' all doing this character development, when y' all dropping these scenes, there should be one dude be like, hey, hey, look, I'm.
Speaker C:I' ma let you know.
Speaker C:I don't care how bold my man is.
Speaker C:He ain't gonna do it like that.
Speaker C:He.
Speaker C:He might try to persuade her somehow.
Speaker C:He might.
Speaker C:He might do to put the tip in the game.
Speaker C:Like, look, can we bop?
Speaker C:Can we dumb this down just a little bit?
Speaker C:Like, we can't make him go 100 dick all the time.
Speaker A:Like, we just.
Speaker A:I mean, look, man, Galaxy.
Speaker C:Like, I don't think anybody's 100, dick.
Speaker C:They've managed to make this dude 100, man.
Speaker C:Like, I'm just like.
Speaker A:They just said, hold that.
Speaker A:Hold our beer, man.
Speaker C:And there was one part where she.
Speaker C:Winner was like.
Speaker C:I guess it looked like the main chick was about to, like, kill him.
Speaker C:And I'm just like.
Speaker C:And this is exactly what I told winner.
Speaker C:So this is before some of this other stuff.
Speaker C:I'm like, this is so anticlimactic.
Speaker C:And she was like, why?
Speaker C:And I said, because they haven't made him look bad enough yet.
Speaker C:And she was like, what?
Speaker C:I'm like, trust me.
Speaker C:They've got to vilify him even more, because that's what y' all want to see.
Speaker C:And then, like, the next two episodes, he got even worse.
Speaker C:And she just kept looking at me.
Speaker C:She was like, you right.
Speaker C:They just keep making it worse.
Speaker C:I'm like, yo, they not done vilifying them yet.
Speaker C:Like, we got 12 episodes left.
Speaker C:12 Episodes left.
Speaker A:Ah, you gotta give us update on that next week.
Speaker A:I. I kind of.
Speaker A:I'm kind of curious now.
Speaker A:But you know what?
Speaker A:I'm not gonna sit there and watch 22 episodes to find out.
Speaker A:I'll probably watch the last one.
Speaker C:I didn't want to watch these episodes either, man.
Speaker C:But now I'm here, you know?
Speaker C:I'm here now.
Speaker B:That sounds like some Beauty in Black.
Speaker B:That's another show on Netflix.
Speaker B:I think Tyler Perry does have something to do with that one.
Speaker C:Once again.
Speaker C:That's why I said, man, Tyler Perry had nothing to do with this show.
Speaker C:But Tyler Perry got everything to do with this show, man.
Speaker A:I mean, Sam.
Speaker A:Ah, awesome.
Speaker B:New.
Speaker A:New.
Speaker A:New things to watch.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:Was that all movie?
Speaker C:Yeah, man.
Speaker C:Look, man, don't fall into the polygamous trap.
Speaker C:Just don't do it.
Speaker C:There's one thing about the show, Last thing, one thing about the show that I did tell my wife that I do think they've captured.
Speaker C:Well, I was like, this is actually exactly how I picture polygamy.
Speaker C:Like, when I was at the bar one time and that girl asked me what I thought about polygamy, which I had never thought about it before, but when I picture it, what this dude is dealing with is exactly what I picture polygamy actually being.
Speaker C:It's not.
Speaker C:It's not as glamorous as guys think, because it's just like, oh, I got multiple women.
Speaker C:This nigga's life looks stressful as I want no parts of it.
Speaker C:Like, I'm just like, this look.
Speaker C:Like, he stressed, like, this Is crazy.
Speaker A:That's why he's gotta have a lot of sex, bro.
Speaker C:You know what?
Speaker C:That is very good, man.
Speaker C:You are an astute observer of a human condition, Reuben, you right.
Speaker B:This dude is de.
Speaker C:Stressing himself all the time, man.
Speaker C:Like, this is a stressful existence he's got, man.
Speaker A:Who knows what he does, like, to make money.
Speaker A:Jesus, bro.
Speaker C:And it's for us, like, every episode, they just keep making this dude worse.
Speaker C:And it's like they're making him be turned on by even worse things.
Speaker C:Like, he was turned on by watching one of his chicks take a piss outside.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker B:That's pretty depraved.
Speaker A:Okay, that's not cute.
Speaker C:I got nothing, man.
Speaker C:I'm just like, yo, this ain't a real person, man.
Speaker B:You know what I do think?
Speaker B:I think that they took pieces of the worst men ever and put it all in one dude.
Speaker C:Put them all in one person.
Speaker B:I think that's what it is.
Speaker C:That's what I mean.
Speaker C:That's.
Speaker C:That's what I mean.
Speaker C:It's like, yo, no one person is all of this.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:God, man.
Speaker A:Doesn't your mouth work?
Speaker A:That's the line of the year right there, buddy.
Speaker A:For real.
Speaker A:Hey.
Speaker A:Hey, Ag.
Speaker A:Earlier, before he said that, he asked him lying about penis.
Speaker A:You need to look at that for the intro.
Speaker A:It was actually pretty funny.
Speaker A:He said something about penis, but it was funny.
Speaker B:Okay, I feel like you need to.
Speaker C:Be very specific when you say he said something about penis.
Speaker B:I was gonna leave that part alone.
Speaker A:Well, I meant to say something earlier, but, man, you.
Speaker A:You know.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:You kept talking, and I was like, he ain't convinced me to watch this yet, but I really want to know the end of it.
Speaker A:So go ahead, watch those 12 episodes, man.
Speaker C:Let us know where I'm at, man.
Speaker C:I don't even want to really watch it hardcore.
Speaker C:Like, if she watches, I'm just going to pop in, like, every 20, 30 minutes and give me a quick update.
Speaker A:Cool, cool, cool.
Speaker C:So which one is this?
Speaker C:Is this number six, right?
Speaker A:It's garden tool number 12.
Speaker A:Well, thank you, Moby.
Speaker A:I mean, yeah, whatever the name.
Speaker A:What's the name of it again?
Speaker C:The Polygamist.
Speaker A:The Polygonist.
Speaker A:Hey, that's it for some of y' all out there.
Speaker A:The Polygonous.
Speaker A:Netflix.
Speaker A:Help them out with some ratings.
Speaker A:Maybe they'll do a season two.
Speaker B:Oh, they got plenty of ratings, sir.
Speaker A:They got something, all right.
Speaker C:Oh, yeah.
Speaker C:Apparently, everybody was talking about this show.
Speaker C:That's probably why my wife started watching it, because your boy.
Speaker C:Your boy didn't Hear nothing about it.
Speaker C:And I wasn't interested in watching it, but I'm here now.
Speaker C:Thanks, babe.
Speaker B:That's funny.
Speaker A:There are times where I don't have that problem, and I'm happy about it, but it's what it is.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:So, yeah, I mean, the last thing, I guess I want to talk about what's on my mind.
Speaker A:I want to finish off this with a positive note.
Speaker A:You know, once again, we talk about doing things that.
Speaker A:Learning how to do something on a Sunday, you know, for a week.
Speaker A:Whatever.
Speaker A:Whatever.
Speaker A:Well, it has finally been created, and I'm gonna pull it here for everybody.
Speaker A:I have finally finished my paver deck.
Speaker A:Now, here's the fun part about it.
Speaker A:It's not a completely leveled.
Speaker A:It's good, though, because it was on a slant, but.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's 82 pavers.
Speaker A:Yeah, 82 pavers right there.
Speaker B:Very nice.
Speaker B:I want you to put a fire pin in that.
Speaker A:So what this is.
Speaker A:I want to put a thing over top of it so I can, you know, just if.
Speaker A:If, like, if I want to cook out there and it rains, I'm covered and stuff like that.
Speaker A:I think what has happened now is.
Speaker E:I.
Speaker A:So if.
Speaker A:If you have.
Speaker A:I know it's on DirecTV.
Speaker A:I don't know if it's anywhere else.
Speaker A:It's a TV show called TasteMate at number 235.
Speaker A:And they got different stuff up there.
Speaker A:So, like, one of the things they have up there is one of the chefs, like, cooking on a grill.
Speaker A:Like, you can cook anything on your grill.
Speaker A:All over my grill.
Speaker A:It's a good show.
Speaker A:Literally, he cooks everything on his grill.
Speaker A:He kind of shows you how to do it.
Speaker A:But now they got this new show out.
Speaker A:It's about these two fat white dudes in Texas.
Speaker A:They're chefs, but they cook after dark.
Speaker A:I do not know the name of it or I don't remember it, bro.
Speaker A:It'd be like 2 o' clock in the morning there.
Speaker A:And they're cooking, like, everything, anything.
Speaker A:Fast food, all that.
Speaker A:They cook it with a style, but they have a nice little undercover joy.
Speaker A:They got, like, three or four grills.
Speaker A:And I've always thought to myself, if I ever got to the point in my life where I really actually want to be outside, and I want to, like.
Speaker A:Because I kind of want a smoker, but I live by myself, so having stuff like that is cool.
Speaker A:But, you know, the problem is that I'm cooking for myself.
Speaker A:So unless I have a group of people over, I'm not really gonna, like, cook a whole Bunch of food.
Speaker A:But with that being said, this is.
Speaker A:I think this is just the beginning.
Speaker A:I think I want to stretch out a little bit further out to the right of it.
Speaker A:And I think I want to just do a whole.
Speaker A:That's a 12 by 12.
Speaker A:I think I want to do some sort of 24 by 24 enclosure.
Speaker A:It's not gonna be this year, though.
Speaker A:And I will probably get somebody to do the rest of it because that's cool and all and all that, but I mean, yeah, if I'm gonna do something more than this, I gotta pay somebody to do that.
Speaker A:I learned a lot about me and doing this.
Speaker A:I'm not horrible at it, but I'm not great at it.
Speaker A:So, like, I don't hate it.
Speaker A:You know, Once again, you could tell there are a couple of dips in there to be expected.
Speaker A:First time I've ever really built anything in the backyard.
Speaker A:Also, is not.
Speaker A:Is no dig, so.
Speaker B:Because I did.
Speaker A:Because I know digging would take forever.
Speaker A:So that a happening.
Speaker A:But it's nice.
Speaker A:It's good for what it is.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:But back to, you know, let me close that.
Speaker A:But yeah, so I finished it a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker A:I just really haven't had a chance to show anybody, you know.
Speaker A:But yeah, all I'm saying is try, like we talk about, try something different, you know, try something new.
Speaker A:You learn what you're good at, you learn what you're not good at.
Speaker A:But I learned that I'm about halfway on building, which tells me that I shouldn't be building anything because, you know, when it's all said and done, it's all about financial.
Speaker A:The cool thing about that is if.
Speaker A:If I don't want it anymore, I just pull it all up.
Speaker A:Did I waste some time and money?
Speaker A:Yeah, I did.
Speaker A:But it's still mine to do with regardless.
Speaker A:Is mine.
Speaker A:And you're right, Ag.
Speaker A:I can always build something else that's nicer, but put a little, you know, like a.
Speaker A:A pit or something there.
Speaker A:But you know what?
Speaker A:I'm not really about all that.
Speaker A:So it.
Speaker A:That would be something for friends.
Speaker A:Because I don't like being outside like that.
Speaker A:Not just to sit around a fire and shoot.
Speaker A:I hate about that life.
Speaker A:I have done it when I, you know, if I go to a friend.
Speaker A:Friend's house in the middle of nowhere, that's different.
Speaker A:But yeah, if I'm doing it at my house, hell not be going inside at nighttime.
Speaker A:I got time for that.
Speaker A:But all I'm saying is, once again, that's just continuation of learn how to do yourself.
Speaker A:I went on Gemini and literally Gemini taught me how to build it when I needed met, when I needed numbers, Gemini told me I needed 82 pavers.
Speaker A:I tried the math.
Speaker A:Apparently my math don't math anymore.
Speaker A:So I need to learn the way they do it now.
Speaker A:So I said F that Gemini taught me.
Speaker A:Gemini told me.
Speaker A:I was like, how many I need for this?
Speaker A:12 By 12.
Speaker A:You need 82 papers.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker A:Because doing the math just won't math and at that point in time.
Speaker A:So yeah, accomplishments, everybody should have some.
Speaker A:And even as small as your accomplishment is, it's yours.
Speaker A:So take that, make sure it's positive and all that beautiful stuff.
Speaker A:First thing I'd like to do, like shout out JTD Creations.

Speaker B:You can listen to the podcast at Apple Podcast, Spotify or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker B:Thank you for listening.
Speaker B:This has been another episode of.
Speaker A:The five minute Warning.
Speaker D:Okay, I'm gonna need you to sit down when I say this because you're not gonna like it.
Speaker D:The fact that Asian Americans, broadly, especially Filipino Americans, are not talking about Nolan Wells is evidence of anti blackness in the Asian community.
Speaker D:Asian Americans, we have to do better.
Speaker D:I know it's easy to think, okay, well he not Asian.
Speaker D:It doesn't affect our community.
Speaker D:But it does.
Speaker D:Nolan Wells is biracial.
Speaker D:His mother, Christine Wells is Filipino and black.
Speaker D:If you were in high school, Nolan could have been your Kuya.
Speaker D:If you're a grandparent, it could have been your apple.
Speaker D:This could have been your nonoy.
Speaker D:This could have been your child.
Speaker D:Now I'm not going into details around the case circumstances.
Speaker D:We know he went missing on horn island on July 4th after going boating with a couple friends.
Speaker D:Yes, those friends were white.
Speaker D:White.
Speaker D:Proximity cannot save us.
Speaker D:I think it's easy to believe that when we have white friends or white people in our life, we are suddenly going to be protected.
Speaker D:Maybe we're tokens, maybe people think that we are one of the good ones.
Speaker D:But this stereotype is not enough to protect us.
Speaker D:I think right now in society it's easy to experience empathy fatigue.
Speaker D:But here's what I know.
Speaker D:If we're not invested in caring for one another and we're not invested in community care, none of this is going to get better.
Speaker D:So I am urging you, if this was not a case you're talking about, thinking about or think that it relates to you, I want you to ask yourself this.
Speaker D:Why aren't I talking about this?
Speaker D:What kinds of cases matter most to me and where does my attention, my energy, my resources go?
Speaker D:Once we get better at understanding the origin of anti blackness and how it limits our ability to relate interracially, that's when we can all grow.
Speaker E:If you were white and you don't understand why black people wouldn't send their kid to be alone with just white people, then you are not safe to be left alone with a black child.
Speaker E:Even racist white people can acknowledge that black culture is valuable.
Speaker E:And the problem is sometimes that worth that black people bring to the table is exploited by white people.
Speaker E:So it gets them into relationships where people are really consuming them rather than being in relationship with them, which is a trap.
Speaker E:It's no credit to a white person for them to see the value in black culture.
Speaker E:White culture in its.
Speaker E:Its nature is exploitative and it will take.
Speaker E:So it's important that we teach our children not to mistake relationship for consumption.
Speaker E:And that same system has been evolving to protect white people and has been perfected over hundreds of years.
Speaker E:Sort of like an apex predator or a great white that has been evolved to be the perfect predator.
Speaker E:I saw a TikTok where every one of the boys who was with Nolan has deleted everything from their social media, which is a white response.
Speaker E:A human response is to pour all of your energy and effort into grief, if not support, for what has happened.
Speaker E:But a white response is to implode on the self and to uphold and protect and perpetuate whiteness and protect it like a virus.
Speaker E:So when black people say they would never send their black child to be alone with a group of white people, I fully support that.
Speaker E:And if I had a black child, I would say and do the same thing.
Speaker A:Looking through my comments, somebody was like, yeah, it's the same thing when it's just one white person surrounded by blacks.
Speaker A:You couldn't lie any harder than that.
Speaker B:If you see one white person surrounded.
Speaker C:By black people, you know what you think?
Speaker A:Ain't gonna happen to that white boy.
Speaker A:They ain't gonna do shit to that white boy.
Speaker A:Not why he with them, not why he with them.
Speaker A:But when you see a surrounded by.
Speaker C:White people, you be like, hey, you good?
Speaker C:You sure, nigga?
