What are we going to get into first, bro? What are we going to get into? A long laundry list of topics to get into. Man, what are we going to get into first? Hold up. Let me look at this list real quick. Where do we start at? That's a good question. We go sports. We go politics. No, you know we got to go politics. We got to go politics. We got to go politics. We got to come in hot, bro. Okay, honestly, I feel like we should just get right into it, bro, and just start talking about the economy, dog. You know what I mean? I mean, because I feel like that's hot. We kind of woke up to it. Yeah, that's the hot scoop right now. You know, Trump, he's going crazy with the tariffs, bro. He's saying, you're getting tariffed. You're getting tariffed. Everybody's getting tariffed. Countries that don't even got people on them, they getting tariffed. Stop fucking around with the American account. We not playing out here, gang. But the only bad part is they're doing it back to us now. Hey, bro. Big T is not playing. Yeah, bro. And it's funny because people are like, oh, who would have thought this was going to happen? We did. I thought. I thought. It's crashing and burning now, bro. Fucking crashing and burning, dog. Dude, I vividly remember the first Trump administration, bro. This is Trump left with nothing to lose. He knows he's not running for a third term. Honestly. Yeah. He's swinging at the wall. He's swinging at the wall, bro. And that's why I feel bad because it's like all these people were like, we're so sold. Yeah, man. And it's like, man. Honestly, it's sad though, man. I know a lot of people's stocks are down right now. The market's down. I'm seeing rumors of a recession. It's just kind of depressing. I mean, it's already tough out here. I can't imagine it getting harder. Yeah. That's going to be worse. Hey, that's how a lot of these corporations want it to be, though. It's by design. It's by design. I feel like Trump's doing this. He's not a dummy. He's benefiting somebody. Yeah, he's not us. He's benefiting somebody. Yeah, you know? It's just not us. Him and his buddies. Yeah, because these corporations, they want people desperate. You know, they want to be able to... You're not showing up to work today. You're out of here. We'll get somebody else. Instantly. You know what I mean? They don't want you taking no time to yourself, bro. Yeah, honestly. Their PTO's messed up. The time off. It's all kind of jacked up. You're not lying. It's kind of sad because it's like, oh, you don't want to do that. Like you say, they'll get rid of you, bro. Like we saw, he laid off a bunch of, I mean, what, federal workers, government workers for no reason. Just for cutbacks. And then it turns out. You know, his buddies are getting boosts. We got Elon in the office making decisions. Like he called in the very first pot. We ever said, Elon... Elon got to, I mean, I don't know. How many Elon got here? You know, I'm just glad it's been noted we've been on the right side of history, bro. It's been fuck Elon, bro. Y'all need to start taking the pod more seriously, bro. Facts. Unapologetic, bro. You know, sometimes the truth, it's not popular, bro. It's not nice to hear, but we've been peeped Elon was evil, bro. It's raw. Everyone was like, oh, I'm gonna get a Tesla, Tesla. They thought Tesla was a flex. You know? And now I see people online are placing the Tesla emblems Like, other car albums are nothing you've been seeing. Yep.

UNKNOWN: 11:16

I'm like, man.

SPEAKER_01: 11:18

Nah, because you know what's even crazier, bro? It's been intriguing to me, bro, to see some of the Chinese EVs that they got available. You know what I mean? Those are fire. Yeah, bro. But they won't let it come from America. You know what? Those are fire, yeah. Bro, because they know. Because they know, bro. I've seen some videos talking about, bro, like, Bro, some of these cars, bro, you would expect it to be like$200,000 in America, bro. Because it looked like some Rolls Royce type of luxury. Bro, they got coolers in there, bro. They got coolers in there. Nigga, you could use hand motions inside your car to activate certain abilities and technologies within there, bro. You could move your hand and the screen would come down in the car, bro. You know what I mean? Like... They're crazy ahead, bro, but they don't want this type of... They don't want Chinese companies coming over and competing with American companies, bro, and selling it for the low. Yeah, because, bro, they're selling these cars for, like, bro,$30K.$30K. Bro, you're getting Rolls-Royce type of luxury, bro.$45,000. What? Remember, you need a light car that's electric? I saw that. I saw that. I saw those customers. I've been seeing that too on the internet. And I'm like, honestly, like you said, I can imagine those affordable cars coming. I feel like Americans would definitely flock to those cars. They would, they would. And honestly, it's just one of like the many things I've been seeing recently that feels like they're trying to funnel us into like a life of just like, of being financially in distress, bro. You know what I mean? Like instead of letting these like, um, other companies come in, you know, and really force, you know, the, the car companies that are here to have to compete and have to step up their game and give us better quality shit. You know, it's like, nah, they just can't come into the country. Yeah. And they just, bro, if anybody has recently tried to, to buy a used car, like, Lately, bro, you know what I'm talking about. It's awful. Bro, it's disgusting. Yeah, it's awful. It's disgusting out there, bro. It's bad, bro. I understand COVID happened, bro, and then it made the car market a little funky, bro. But at this point, bro, COVID was four years ago. And it's crazy because, like, those same cars be sitting. You know? And it's like, God just won't lower the price. They're sitting, bro. They're sitting, bro. And they'd rather eat that and sit on the car to get that full juice out of it. Dog, I'm telling you, when I went with my sister to help her get a new car, bro, the used cars was more expensive than the new cars, bro. I'm not even lying to you, bro. Let's get the new ones. Yeah, bro, the used ones were more expensive than the new ones. That's insane. I couldn't believe it, man. It's a nasty market, and that's what I'm saying. They don't let this foreign competition come because, again, too, they don't want us. They're trying to control us. our opinions and what we're allowed to see when it comes to other countries. You know what I mean? They don't want us to see that, hey, China got some pretty sweet technology over here, bro. Hey, you know, in prisons in Switzerland, they actually rehabilitate. Bro, you know what I mean? They don't want us to see that. Like, oh shit, really? They want us to think, oh, that's crazy. Yeah, right. Like, nah, you're supposed to be in a concrete cell with shit and piss everywhere. And like, nah, man. And we can't have stuff like that, bro. Yeah, and it's supposed to be like, if you want stuff like that, you kind of like, you a hippie. You know, because you know what it is, too? Because once, if we have something like that available, bro, we have to start fixing other aspects of society, bro. Because imagine if we had good quality jails and the excuse is going to be, damn, people are just trying to go to jail to have somewhere nice to live. You know what I mean? Instead of just, hey, how about we start providing... more affordable housing for people to live. So we don't just have to send them to jail. Like apartments. Yeah, so they don't feel like they have to go to jail to get three hots and a cot. You know what I mean? Bro, that's so wrong. Yeah, so all that type of shit is connected, bro. And then they get money off of it too. Yeah, it is deep. It gets deep again. And then it gets deep again with now that I'm even thinking about jails right now. And since we're talking globally, bro, about us outsourcing businesses prisoners now to el salvador did you see did you hear about that bro so el salvador you know how um they had like a real bad like gang uh gang just thing going on over there right they really got it settled but they really bro it was bad for a minute they got a lot of prisoners out there they got a lot of prisoners out there so they're in a position to where yeah they got rid of a lot of like the gang and criminal activity but now it's they're in a position to where um they've created like a privatized prison system now to where there's certain companies now that are invested in keeping prisoners there. You know what I mean? They have an incentive on, hey, come bring prisoners over to el salvador we'll take care of the problem over here you know what i mean so now they've kind of positioned themselves as that type of country you know what i mean i see yeah bro so as as a recently i think honestly today this um so there was a there was a there was a dude an american i forgot what the fuck he did they ended up deporting him to el salvador put him in el salvador prison you know with all the motherfuckers wouldn't with ms-13 and shit like that you know what i mean those are real killers yeah so just today though a judge had to go and overturn that shit. Bring him back? Yeah, bring him back, bro. You can't do that, bro. That's insane. Bro, it's becoming real controversial now, bro. I think this Trump administration is going to be rough. I think it's going to be rough, bro. I know this has been gone so long, but I want to ask you, what do you think Kamala did wrong? Like, I don't know, man. I feel like– because I don't know, bro. The last one, I feel like we all thought she had it in the bag, and then we saw her game plan. Her game plan was awful. Yeah. And there's multiple things I think she did wrong, too. I mean, I feel like, bro, people just see through the Democrats just not having a firm stance on anything, bro. We see through the fact that their whole– position is the fact that they're just not trump you know what i mean they don't bring anything of of substance to the table other than hey we're not this guy and that's not good enough that's true you know what i mean that's just not good enough for for for people to vote for you know and at least you know regardless of if trump i understand why people vote for trump because trump's just about the action bro trump's just gonna do some shit whether it's right or wrong yeah trump's gonna trump's really gonna try and and get done the shit that he says he's gonna get done you know what i mean so i understand why people would flock more to that as opposed to bro these democrats are really some fucking grifters bro they really bro they really receive a lot of big corporation money but they try to pretend like they're for you know yeah they try to pretend like they're for people and minority groups you know what i mean and they try to pretend like they're for diversity but we see through it bro you know i remember bro kamala was trying to run on the whole aspect of uh you know it's like black woman president this and that but then when you ask her an interview she's like well i'm not going to do anything that's going to specifically benefit black people yeah and then so it's like so that doesn't make any sense yeah because that's exactly what trump's saying too yeah you know what i mean trump's saying the same thing he's not going to do anything that's going to specifically benefit black people yeah you know so now you put you put people in the position to be like oh who am i gonna pick you

SPEAKER_03: 18:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 18:56

You know, because you haven't made a firm stance and you're just strictly trying to run on the identity of, okay, you could have this old white guy or you could have, you know, young black women. But again, it's the identity politics isn't enough. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Saying that it's not Trump isn't enough. And I feel like that, you know, that's why, that's why she didn't win. They thought it was going to work. Yeah. I wish it worked. Because even before too, bro, they, they were going to run with sleepy Joe again. Let's not forget that. Again, they just don't... Bro, they just don't respect their constituents, bro. Again, Sleepy Joe was wildly unpopular, bro. You know what I mean? And I feel like, again, the fact that you went with Sleepy Joe and then you try to just throw Kamala in there last minute. It was like, what, three months prior to the election? It's just like, oh, we got Kamala now. Something like that. Yeah, three, four months. It was something weird. Yeah, but before it was Sleepy Joe. Yeah. And I was like... And I feel like... They messed with them more by not actually like voting. Like you said, they didn't like respect nobody. That's what I'm saying. Just don't Kamala in there. I don't know. Yeah. They didn't have a vote. Yeah. They didn't have a vote amongst constituents and because, and I understand that it was an emergency and all that, but once you, you force them to have a vote, bro, you force them to have to lay out their platform and their policy ideas in front of us, bro. And that's what people were confused about the whole time during the election. What is Kamala even standing for? Nobody knows because nobody's seen her even debate other democrats it was you know on stage you know what i mean just going against what trump's saying yeah now yeah now exactly exactly you know what i mean that's why we get like the slippery slopes and stuff like that that's what i'm like man i do wish you would have won though man but maybe maybe in the future but i mean maybe damage has got to come different but they're not bro like you don't think so nah bro i think it's gonna it's gonna be real bad because again they're they're bots They're bots, so they could never do anything of substance, bro. Are the Republicans going to win again next time? Honestly, yeah. Unless some young Democrat comes out of nowhere. Bro, honestly, I feel like this is the perfect time for some type of third party to present itself. But again, it can't just be like a... You know... I'm just going to stop myself right there. It's time for like a third party option to get there. Because I don't want to get too crazy right now. Too deep into it. Yeah, you know, when people start being like, you know, commie. And, you know, I'm not just, I'm going to chill. I'm going to chill. All right? Nah, but I know what you mean, though. Definitely there needs to be some more shit. Yeah. I'm not even mad at you for that one. And also, I did see Trump say that stupid shit. If I run against Obama, that will suck. If Obama comes back. Trump's crazy for that. Trump versus Obama 2028, round three. Round three, that'll be tough. First president to serve a third term at that point in like, what, like 85 years? This is like the 50s, damn. Because honestly, bro, at that point, bro that would just be such a spectacle bro like i'm putting that like wrestlemania level spectacle just like i think that happens we live in a reality for sure like for sure this is definitely a reality and it's definitely controlled by some like fifth dimensional species and they're just like having fun because there's no way

SPEAKER_04: 22:26

yeah

SPEAKER_01: 22:27

because watch watch watch and watch the vp be somebody even crazier I can only imagine, bro. The VP's gonna be crazy. Obama's VP's gonna be Bill. Who knows? Nah, Bill Clinton's way too old, but that's fucking funny. It's going to be like Trump and Ben Shapiro. Oh, no. I can see it. I can see it. Well, actually, I guess at that point, Obama would probably have ALC. Yup. No, that's a sick combination. Damn, bro.

UNKNOWN: 23:10

Damn.

SPEAKER_01: 23:12

I do kind of want to stick around here with crazy white people. I want to talk about Kanye West real quick. Oh my gosh,

SPEAKER_02: 23:23

bro.

SPEAKER_01: 23:23

It's been a long time. Kanye used to be your favorite artist when we were kids, bro. It's sad to see our hero go out like this. I can't even lie. He was. Because honestly, he was correct. and calling himself a musical genius he is indeed a musical genius he's great man you know what i mean but kanye went another rant i mean wasn't i mean wasn't as bad as the tmz one from like 10 years ago but went another crazy rant you know said some crazy shit about certain artists and people and stuff like that and said some something about the tiny hatters and lucien and drake so i mean typical kanye you know how that goes people gotta stop feeding into this man People really got to stop. Because honestly, as soon as I just... Because I didn't listen to it. I didn't listen to what he said. As soon as I just seen the outfit, as soon as I seen the hood, I said, no, I'm good. I said, I'm not listening to anything he's going to say right now. Bro, I don't care. I don't care. I don't care if you're going to be like, well, Kanye has a point. I don't give a fuck. I'm not listening to anything he has to say right now, bro. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, bro. Like... I feel like it's gotten to that point where it's like you can't even give it no attention, bro. Honestly, that's the sad truth, bro. Like you can't, especially with academics, too. I already don't like academics either. Oh, man, not academics. If we're being for reals. I think academics is like a little, bro, he's like a little pipsqueak, bro. He's a little twerp. Academics is like the black lad to me. Yup. I don't know. He just gives me opp vibes. Yup. He's definitely the police. Yeah, bro. I just don't like it, man. I don't know. I don't like that for black media. I can't lie. Yeah. But not Kanye, man. It's gotten to the point, bro, where it's just I just don't even pay attention to it, bro. Yeah, sadly. I mean, I saw some clips. I'm not going to lie. I'm not listening to no new. I'm like, I'm not listening to the new Kanye, bro. You're not? I'm good. I'm not, bro. I might sometimes, bro. Sometimes I might bump his old shit, bro. But again, it's... It makes me want to get into a deeper conversation about really separating art from the artist, bro. Yeah. So can I play R. Kelly again? Because I can't lie. Step,

SPEAKER_02: 25:40

step, round and round.

SPEAKER_01: 25:43

And then we see you do. And

SPEAKER_02: 25:49

they ask us why we did it.

UNKNOWN: 25:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 25:59

Oh, my God. That shit's a banger. Dude, you can't tell me. That shit's crazy.

SPEAKER_02: 26:06

That nigga starts

SPEAKER_01: 26:07

blowing at the end.

SPEAKER_02: 26:11

Oh, my

SPEAKER_01: 26:12

gosh. Honestly, this is crazy, dog. He starts blowing. Oh, my God. Hey, he did it for love. Bro, nah, I can't lie. That nigga was killing it. That nigga was going crazy at the high school. That nigga was going stupid. Nah, see, you might keep Kels locked up, but hey, Kels, bro, man. Hey, that's separating the art from the artist, though. Nah, I can't lie. But that's how I feel, man. I don't know, man. Is that what it is, too? Is there a certain, like... You gotta be good. Not even that. I feel like... Is there something that comes along with acknowledging this every time you listen to an artist? Like, oh, they're freaky, but I like their music? Yeah, like even just making sure... You know that, whether it's through the form of us making jokes and everything. Or you really getting educated. Or really just thinking about it. Like, damn, he really did do this. But listening to it, bro, is that enough? Does that do anything, bro? Nah, bro. Like I said, Kelz, bro. Kelz did the crime. He got to do the time, bro. I'm not even talking about Kelz specifically. Oh, just in general? A lot of these weird-ass artists, bro. Because Kelz isn't the only one. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. There's a few of them, sadly. I think about, again... Niggas who listen to Diddy, bro. I was never a fan of Diddy, luckily, bro. Diddy? I've always hated Diddy. Shit, I've been thinking about people who publicly, like, who's he to beat their wife? Ike Turner? Yeah. You know? Yeah. I'm like, yeah, you ain't lying. And now Diddy had a lot of fans, though. Yeah. And it was kind of like, oh, it was Diddy. Nah, I was never a fan of Diddy. I don't know, man. It is kind of... I'm pretty sure there's a pot of me talking about why I don't like Diddy. Yeah, definitely. About why he was always on the end of the track. Talking. Talking about take that. Yeah, they're just talking shit. Taking niggas' monies. No, honestly, though, I do think there's a fine line between, like, art and, like, what they did in person. Especially when you, like, think about... Even, like, when you think about just, like, actors and celebrities, honestly, like... like uh jonathan majors bro yeah man i think about jonathan majors that's a touchy one i'm trying to bring him back yeah it is he's guilty he's not guilty now and we've seen the videos yeah so then like we know the freaky nature of the whole thing yeah so it's like it's like all right like it's guilty to an extent like what is it And then even to the extent of, like... And then I hate how they try to put the racial card in there, too, to add the ambiguity. Like, oh, but it was a white woman who accused him. You know what I mean? Like, hey. Hey, bro. He knew what he was doing. You know, like... He knew what he was doing. They'd really be trying to throw you off the trail with that, bro. I do think deeper, though. Like, even, like, guys like Pac and shit. Like, I don't know. I do think about all these guys who got either... Accused of something Or actually went to jail For something And I don't know People don't like Talk about that shit Yeah Like I don't I don't know I think about that a lot too It's tough Yeah And honestly That's how I've been Feeling a lot with music Lately in general And just Not even music Just entertainment In general bro Like I really wanna I'm really cautious About where the source Of this is coming from And who I'm supporting You know what I mean Yeah I find that's That's the hard part Yeah so like Even now lately Like just The music I've been Listening to It's um It's just been different, bro, because I'm just trying to be more cautious about who I'm supporting and just whose pockets I'm lining. I'm selling a brick in the air fryer. No more Griselda? I haven't listened to Griselda in a minute, bro. I mean, either. I can't lie either. Because on top of that, too, bro, I'm not even trying to be around that energy right now. I got too many blessings to be talking about trapping and shit, bro. I got way too many blessings, bro. you know he's like i like risotto yeah honestly i got way too many blessings though to be worried about you know like a trap i'm that negative energy yeah i don't bro i really don't bro because when i even think about that no that's how i know i'm just on straight old man time now bro i'm like even repeating that like repeating the lyrics in your head bro that's like a mantra bro that's like bro and and repeating that in your head enough times bro that becomes like a spiritual thing you know what i mean that's like spiritual warfare in a sense you know what i mean if if like if if These companies, bro, and these record labels and stuff are really trying to sell you pornography and their fucking delinquency through music and everything, bro. It's all together. Yeah, they're doing it through the mantras. They're making it sound good, bro. They're like, yeah. I once seen this shit where it said the best way to poison somebody is to make the poison taste good. You know what I mean? That way they poison themselves, you know? And it goes, it applies, you know, with food, with music, with entertainment. You know what I mean? The best way to get us to, you know, to give us that poison is to make that shit sound good. Make that Griselda bump. That Griselda's thumping. Nah, that's true, bro. Nah, that piano, bro. That piano sample, yeah, that's tough as fuck, bro. Nah, but that's how I feel, bro. I can't lie. I don't think I listened to a Lil Durk song in like four years. You know? I'm like, nah, yeah. It comes with a price. I can't do it. Yeah, it does come with a price. It isn't just music, bro. I'm not going to lie. Niggas be angry sometimes for no reason. Like, damn, I'm not. Like, damn. I listen to shoot them up, kill a nigga for five hours straight. That's what I'm saying. And it really blocks it. It really blinds you to like the reality that you're living in right now. And it really like could skew your perspective on like the things that. The blessings that you do got going on right now, you know what I mean? That are given to you. So now you focus on other things. Yeah. You focus on trying to get hoes, get money, you know? Trying to sell something. Yeah, trying to flip shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Man. Instead of just, man, hey, buckling down, you know? Frickin' new me, bro. Look at old man new me, bro. Yeah, hey, chill out, bro. This old man new me right here. This is old man pot. Man, that's what makes it tough, though, sometimes. Like... I don't know, man. It's interesting, though. What's up, bro? What's up, man? The devil's working right there. Ah, because now you got me thinking about entertainment, bro. What shows you been watching, man? Oh, shit, man. Hey, man, I've been on my Paramount Plus grind. My Paramount Plus grind. Paramount Plus. My Paramount Plus grind. So, Lioness. I finished that. Okay. Landman. Okay. That's a good one. I think y'all should watch Lit, man. Yeah, I got to peep that. I got to peep that. It's got Billy Bobby throwing it in there. You know, it's classic. Tulsa King. Yeah, nah, you put me on to that Tulsa King, bro. I finally finished season two. That show's fine. Nah, you put me on to that Tulsa King, bro. Tulsa King's so hard. And honestly, Sylvester Stallone, bro, I got to give him some props, man. Yo. Honestly, dude, that was a really good show. He still got it, bro. Yeah, that was a really good show. Um. Invincible, bro. I know you're bad ever since they did us wrong. Yeah, they did me dirty back in the day. With that season two break a few years back. Invincible is actually a really good show. I'm about to really get into it. What you watching, man? I know you be on From. So, yeah. Yeah, you know, the usual From, but that's been over now for a few months. From is my... Ish, boy. Is season one two right now? Bro, no. It's three? Bro, season three already happened. They coming out with season four now. Next year, right? Bro, yeah. Hey, From is rocking, bro. That was fast. From is rocking, dude. I like the main actor. Yeah, hey. Oh, boy, good. If y'all haven't seen From, bro, you guys need to go on Amazon Prime. It's on Prime? Yeah, I want to say it's on Prime, but Prime always takes you to another app or something like that, bro. Okay, got you. Hey. it's good though it's good bro it's good um so from been watching that severance of course yeah severance just ended too bro severance also man was it good yeah man severance was so good bro we got so many we got a lot of answers you know but we're still left with a lot of questions um I hear they're supposed to be coming out with a season three of that, too. So if you haven't seen Severance, man. That's the Ben Stiller. Yeah, that's the shit Ben Stiller's been producing. You know, I've always been a fan of Ben Stiller my whole life, bro. It's cool to see some of these dudes produce, though. I didn't know they were talented like that. Yeah, so that's really cool, bro, to see Ben Stiller do this. And, bro, I'm really rocking with it, bro. I'm really rocking with it. So if you haven't seen that, bro, you got, like, two seasons. The first season, I'd say, like, the first two, three episodes, They're slow but good. Like, it's really a slow burn. You really got to pay attention. Yeah, yeah. You know, but it builds up to a lot because it's a real complex show. I've seen season one. Season one was pretty solid. Yeah, yeah. It's really worth it, though, man. Season one was pretty solid. Really worth it. That's how I felt about From 2. Like, From Con, that same. Oh, yeah. Like, different but, I don't know, like, make you think type shit. Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying. If you like something where it's a little, like, it's a thriller, you know, or it's, like, it's something that gets you psychologically, bro, you know, those shows are it. yeah exactly um what else i've been watching uh that scratches that itch for like my you know like my my thriller needs bro then i really just do like a lot of like reality tv what you watching bro honestly man nah definitely not zeus bro but i still be in a nasty bag to be Like, I'll be on, like, Love Island stuff. Okay, okay, okay. I've been on Nasty Bag. And then, you know, bro, I'll be watching The Bachelor with my girl, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll be watching The Bachelor. I'll be on The Bachelor. What else, man? Oh, Lovey Boy, huh? Yeah, bro. You already know, man. I hear you, man. You already know. But I'm not going front like I don't enjoy it, man. It's not too bad. Fucking Newman, dude. Man, this a whole new Newman, bro. Bro, it's good, bro. I get it. This a whole new man, bro. I get it. I remember the old Newman used to come on the mic and talk about strip clubs and... Bro, what you talking about, man? I don't remember that. Y'all never heard me say that before. Y'all never heard me say that before. Y'all never heard me say that before. That's crazy. I'm sure you're right. Why would you ever say that? My fault, bro. That's a new Newman, bro. I swear I saw Newman at church, but anyway. Man. I love this guy, bro. I didn't go to church, probably. I love this dude. Man, honestly,

SPEAKER_03: 36:56

entertainment-wise, though, it's been

SPEAKER_01: 37:00

hit or miss. I know we're talking about shows we like and stuff. I did want to dabble a little bit into talking about shows and more like movies you don't like. More talking about the MCU disaster. Yeah. Last year for the MCU was pretty bad. All this Spidey-verse MCU, Metro, you know, I don't know. There's a lot of stuff going on. Last few movies have been duds. So, like, are you excited at all for this new, like, schedule they have going on with Taxi Ford, Doomsday? Let's try to get fans back. And those last few movies have sucked. But I don't know, man. Me, personally, I actually love the MCU, but I don't feel the same excitement. Bro, I'm not going to lie. I've totally checked out with the MCU, bro. They've totally lost me. Yeah, you done? Yeah, bro. They've totally lost me as like a customer, bro. It's just they don't have anything left that's of interest or value to me. That's fair. As far as entertainment, bro. Like I see it's too much propaganda for me at this point. Yeah. I mean, the propaganda really takes away from like the themes and that the comics really had you know what I mean that they were trying to like the stories that are told in the comics you know it's not the same yeah you know and it really it really waters down the themes and a lot of the values and like critical points that they were trying to make that is true you know what I mean they were trying to make it a Hollywood blockbuster and simultaneously trying to make America look like the good guy and tell a good story yeah you know like oh the good guy story yeah so it really it really complicates a lot of that bro you know So that's why I've really just checked out with a lot of it, man. A lot of it is just like, I see. Again, I just can't unseat a propaganda, bro. That's fair. I can't unseat a propaganda, you know, especially after the Black Panther 2. We already talked about this on another podcast. Oh, yeah. We talked about that. Yeah, man. They turned Black Panther 2 into... Browns versus Blacks? Yeah, yeah. Black versus Brown, you know, and just made it a beef between, you know, Africans and Mexicans, bro. Indigenous, yeah. Yeah, and indigenous folks, bro. And it was like, that's not even a real enemy. Y'all the two strongest nations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fight me, y'all. just yeah y'all didn't even know about each other till yesterday now y'all fighting yeah instead of fighting you know the common enemy that y'all have which is both like you know europe yeah yeah we seen at the beginning it was as france trying to go still yeah yeah trying to sneak into wakanda take the resources bro so i'm like i don't know man i'm with you on that honestly i think maybe if some blockbuster movie comes out i'll go and watch it but I ain't seen Captain America. I ain't seen a lot of movies. If they make a Blade, I'm going to watch it just on principle because I love Blade. Yeah, but no, they bullshitting. And you know what? Even beyond just the politics, okay, I'll even put the politics aside, bro. Just the quality of the movies too. Yeah, it's not even a good movie. Yeah, bro. I remember I tried watching Doctor Strange, bro, and that shit, bro, it felt like I was watching fucking Spy Kids or Sharkboy and Lavagirl, the way that shit was like, the way the CGI was. The CGI was bad. Yeah, it was bad, bro. I'm like am I watching you know is this 2004 stop bro it was bad bro like talking about the one America Chavez you know what I mean bro but that's why I'm just like man like nah I feel you bro it's kind of sad too I just love those shows Yeah, they really just gotten away from, you know, just a good plot by just making it too just intergalactic, you know. Nothing ever takes place on Earth yet. Yeah, man, I miss it. I miss those good on Earth stories. They don't have any real sets. Everything's just good. Hey, that's why, I mean, it's mad, it's mad, mad slow, but that's why I'm watching Daredevil right now. It just takes place in New York. Yeah. It's just like... I mean, not spoiler alert, but whatever. Like, Kingpin's in there, like Daredevil. They came out with a new Daredevil? Yeah. What? Not new. Well, new season. Same people. Oh, for reals? Yeah, same people. I didn't know they were still coming out with Daredevil. Well, bro, it's been like seven years, six years. But it's been since Marvel got the rights. Yeah. So, supposedly, there's hope we might get Jessica Jones back, might get Luke Cage back. Luke Cage was good. And people don't care about Iron Fist, but we might get him back, too. Yeah, I never peeped Iron Fist. Yeah, I didn't care about Iron Fist, either, really. But Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, they're solid shows. But yeah, Daredevil's back, though. Same cast. Everyone's the same. All the same actors and everything. And you see, Marvel just really got away from themselves, bro. And they just got too... intergalactic, interdimensional. Yeah, pretty much. Instead of just, nigga, just focus on just the local stories of some New Yorkers. Because there's hundreds of stories, bro. Yeah. There's hundreds of Daredevil, Spider-Man stories that take place in New York only, bro. And it's just sometimes they try to do it so big and so grand, bro. Yeah, man. And you know what a bigger thing is, too, bro? It's just they don't know who their target audience is, bro. They want it to appeal to everybody. And it's just like, dude, sometimes y'all just need to suck it up and make it rated R. Yeah. Yeah. You know, sometimes you just need to give the people what they want. Yeah. Honestly, I think that would make the movies really good. Yeah, because you can't portray some characters to the fullest extent. Yeah, exactly, bro. That's why if they ever do make The Blade, they got to be rated R. Yeah. They got to be rated R, bro. That'd be sweet. Enough like that, Doctor Strange should have been rated R. Yeah? Yeah, man, because honestly, when you have like Demons and Wanda and you're trying to like showcase this, like you should really like, I don't know, take us to hell. Let's get crazy. I'm like, I don't know. Chop some heads off. I don't know, man. We were dealing with demons and the dark book. You should really take it there. I feel that. I want it to be like Doom. That makes sense. Like Constantine. But you know, we'll see because again, I didn't see it either, but I heard Wolverine and Deadpool did very well. Oh, I watched that one. I forgot. I heard that was good and that was rated R, right? That was a good movie because it was rated R. Yeah. So it seems like, again, like, People who I've talked to say they really enjoy that. So it's like, that seems like it's popular among just everyday people, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, and that really just gets casual fans just talking and stuff. And that's rated R. So I'm like, why don't you just go back to that, bro? Yeah, because I feel like they have those ideas like, oh, if it's rated R and people aren't going to take their kids to the movies, like, dude, that's not stopping nobody. Yeah. And even if they aren't, who cares? That shouldn't be your primary demographic. It's all about the dollars. It's about the dollars of them. That's the problem. But the thing is, too, since they're trying to sell nostalgia, you can't see. Kids aren't purchasing the nostalgia. Yeah, they wasn't around for Hugh Jackman. Yeah, you have to grow with your fan base. You can't keep on trying to portray the same character. Oh, yeah, let's get the new 19-year-old to buy a ticket. Because in my mind, it would just be smarter to make... To have the real fans, you know, the real fans of the movie are going to show their kids the old versions anyways. Exactly. You know what I mean? Real Marvel fans are going to do that anyways. Exactly. You know, so at that point, all you have to do is just make a movie to where somebody who isn't completely invested into the story can hop in and enjoy the movie. But somebody who is invested, they get a lot out of it. Yeah, you know. I look like that's what Avengers Doomsday is going to be because they brought the X-Men OG cast back. yeah they got like uh they got i don't know it's a stack cast it looks like i find that's gonna be like the a mix of like the nostalgia with the new they're gonna kill some characters off introduce some new some new characters you know so we'll see yeah we'll see man i don't know i don't i don't believe in it again the robert downey jr cast yeah that was so lazy bro it was such a lazy move it still just shows me that like marvel they're They don't know what the fuck. Yeah, they don't know what the fuck they want to do. They're not serious. Yeah, they don't know where they want to go. And that's what disappoints me, man. Because I don't know. I thought Kevin Feige was doing a good job. And I don't know. Now I'm kind of more interested to see what James Gunn does with the DCU. See how that works out. Yeah. And again, if they were smart, they would just focus on, you know, the small time stories like Batman and shit. Or I wouldn't even call them small time. you know don't try and make yeah Justice League right at the back yeah man don't try to do it don't try to make it you know you know make it interstellar and all that bro you don't need that you don't need that bro Gotham is enough yeah you know what I mean you got a few stories in Gotham yeah that's enough Superman got a few yeah Metropolis is enough got a few stories in Metropolis yeah that's enough we don't gotta go to space yet we don't gotta go to space yet that's enough bro So we'll see what they do with that. But I don't know. We'll see what entertainment-wise works. That's funny. It's in Metropolis. No, it is, man. But, yeah. Superman is coming out this year, though, so we'll see. I'll probably go watch it. I'll probably go watch it. I'll probably change this into sports right now. Shit, man. We missed a few. I know football-wise, Eagles, your team, bro. They won Super Bowl. The Eagles, man. Eagles, I'm happy for them, bro. They finally defeated Mahomes. Mahomes got dethroned. I know some people are probably really fucking happy. Bro, I'm happy for the Eagles, bro. Even though I don't claim the Eagles anymore, bro. Yeah, that's true. They're always going to have a special place in my heart. Not like you used to. Yeah, I was a longtime fan, but I'm really just not a fan because to be a fan of the Eagles means I'm a fan of the NFL. Yeah, that's fair. I just can't support the NFL like that. I might peep some games occasionally. I'm not going to lie, bro. Yeah, not like you used to at all. Yeah, man. I'm not going to declare allegiance to a team, nigga. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Newman said, nah, NFL lost me. Yeah, bro. That's funny. But, you know, it's always going to be just the sports enthusiast in me, though, is always going to be tapped into, like, you know, certain players and everything. I'm always going to peep the highlights, bro. For sure. I'm always going to peep the highlights. I'm always going to peep, you know, the compilations on the internet. I thought that's how that works. Yeah, so I'm always tapped into who's currently, like, hot, bro, you know, but... You're not going to watch every full game every Sunday. Especially, too, but they also don't even make it watchable, though, either, bro. You know, NFL maybe is trying to do a better job the last season, but, bro, NBA, bro, most of the games, I don't even know where to put NBA. NBA's probably the worst. I don't have cable. I can't watch NBA at all. Yeah, NBA's probably the worst. Because, like you said, basketball, you catch a few Channel 7s, a few Channel 4s every now and then. Man, NBA? Nah, it's bad. Yeah, man. That's what I'm saying. So it's just like the accessibility right now, bro, makes it real hard to watch too, which makes it easier on me because I'm just like, all right, man, I'll just peep the highlights. Or if it is something I really want to watch, bro, I really just go on to TikTok live, bro. And there's always a real one out there who's going to stream it. Yeah, who's going to stream it, bro, and I'll just watch it on the live. I'm not bougie. Sometimes if I really want to get fancy with it, I'll have the live stream, you know, I'll mirror it onto the TV, bro. Oh, you're sick. Living lavish. You know what I mean? Yeah, I got the game. I love that, bro. Sometimes I fucking have to do that, too. I mean, the OG streamings, of course, but even that I don't want to get used to no more. I don't want to get used to no more. NBA has to get it together, bro. They really got a problem, bro, with just their product and how they're distributing it to everybody, bro. And They're forgetting it's the fans that make it go round. Yeah, exactly. All right? You know, not these sponsorships. Yep. You know? And it's just, bro, it's just unbearable, dude. It's unbearable. Yeah, honestly, because it shouldn't be that hard to find a basketball game. Yep. And then if you do want to get the NBA game pass, take your$150, whatever, and you can't watch local games. Yeah. So if you're a Laker fan, you can't watch local games half the time. I'm good. And it's like, what's the point? I was like, oh, no, it's subscribe to Max. You get some games here. Occasionally, you'll get them. But no, now they're trying to do it, too, to where it's like, oh, you got to have an upgraded subscription, though, to get the games. They're coming for it. Yeah, you can't just have it with your regular subscription. They're coming for it. Yeah, bro, we living in subscription hell, bro. Hell, yeah. We living in subscription hell, bro. I did see that one time, supposedly, that cars are going to have ads eventually. I wouldn't be surprised. That's what they did with TV. So the reason why all TVs are like super cheap now is because, uh, advertising. So now all the home screen, all those advertisements and stuff is what makes you have pays for, for the TV to be that cheap. That's crazy. So maybe if cars do have it, maybe. That'd be a little cheaper. Yeah, maybe. But who knows? Knowing these companies, we're just going to get ads in more expensive cars. Can you imagine an ad screen growing across my car? On Google Maps, in the corner, there's a little ad. That'd be so sick. It's funny, bro. It just sucks, dude. Buy Pizza Hut. If I had a Pizza Hut, nah, that's crazy. Shut up, Siri. That's crazy, bro. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the way the Elon was on, bro. I'm telling you. If somebody would do it, it'd be Elon. I'll leave it to Elon. Leave it to the Musk. Bro, because you'd find a way to try to make it seem cool. Like, oh, you guys get access to exclusive advertisements. Only for Tesla. Advertisements or you have access to Tesla radio. Only available to premium Tesla subscribers. Tesla XOVO.

SPEAKER_02: 51:16

Not Tesla XOVO.

SPEAKER_01: 51:26

That would be so sick. That would be so sick, bro. Nah, if every Tesla came like an OVO radio or something. Oh, man. Ads. Oh, man. Tesla.ca for you Canadians. That's crazy,

SPEAKER_02: 51:47

bro.

SPEAKER_01: 51:50

Shout out to the Canadians. Shout out to Canadian fans. We love y'all. Man. Fucking knew me, bro. It's a nice sunny day outside though, man. Hold up, hold up. We missed a sport, though, bro. We need to get back to a sport that matters the most. We're still here. We're still here, bro. We got UFC. Don't you get twisted. We're still here. It is a nice sunny day, but we're still here. It is. I'm just enjoying Cali. Honestly, UFC, just keep it real, man. I don't know where the hell we want to start. Some belts moved around since the last time we pot. There's been a lot of belts moving around. Some people retired. Some people unretired. Where do we start? Honestly, I think we should just start off with Jon Jones. Yeah, let's keep it real. Let's keep it simple. Start off with Jon Jones. Jon Jones, dude, it's like I'm trying to be a supporter of Jon Jones. People on the internet have been saying he's ducking Tom Aspinall. I've been saying no, no the fuck he's not. But now he's trying to wait six fucking months to fight Tom Aspinall and I'm just like, dude, it's so... I can't defend Jon Jones, bro. He's really on some diva time. We all know when this fight's going to happen, bro. November MSG. I can't, dude. We all know Jon's going to get November MSG. Somebody's going to get injured by them, bro. And it's probably going to be Tom Aspinall, bro. Yeah, because the weight is so goddamn long. Yeah, dude. And the next thing you know, Jon's going to fight some random bum. He's probably not even going to fight. He's just going to hold the belt even longer. Nah, he's going to fight because at that point, he probably already got the bag. Who knows, dude? Dana's going to make him fight like fucking what's-her-name. But honestly, I just want this whole thing to be over with, bro, so we can come to a conclusion, get John up out of here. Yeah, exactly. So we can move on because I'm tired of this. It's too much legacy talk right now, bro. Too much, bro. The legacy talk is overshadowing just the fighting. Let's get to the scrapping. Either going to fight or not. Yeah. Either John's going to lose or he's not going to lose. Let's just get to it, bro. Because really, John's going to win. He's going to retire. Or he's going to lose. He's probably going to retire. So, I mean, either way, it's a sign of contract. He's not fighting again, bro. Yeah, give John the money. Sign the contract. Keep it pushing. Because, sadly, since Alex Pereira lost, that super fight don't make sense no more. Yeah, now it can't happen anymore. Yeah, Pereira needs his get back. Yeah. He can talk about it. i'm interested in seeing that the game pack yeah i'm interested in seeing how that happens bro honestly i um i didn't watch the fight live but i caught the highlights bro i seen um i i seen how it was kind of just a stale fight and i i hope that like alex sees this as a chance to as an opportunity the rematch to like mix the martial arts up a little more i wish you know what i mean bro yeah like bro the He's solid on the hands. We know Uncle Ive is solid on the hands as well. Yeah, exactly. You know what I mean? So now at that point, since y'all are matched on the hands, let's try to incorporate, you know, even threat. We could just threaten the takedown. Nope. You know what I mean? Threaten the takedown to set up some hands. You feel me? Bro, they ain't threatening no Muay Thai takedowns or nothing. That's where it gets bad. Mm-hmm. And that's what I hope more to see from, like, the second fight, man. I hope so, bro. Yeah, and I feel like he's definitely deserving of that instant rematch. Oh, yeah, for sure, for sure, man. He's putting dudes to sleep, bro. Yeah, he's definitely deserving of that because it was talks of him moving up to heavyweight he was so dominant. Yeah, he's supposed to fight John. Yeah. That was a talk. Yeah. So we'll see. Jamal Hill. We'll see. I feel like it's the era of the Muslim champ right now, though. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's really where we're coming to because now that makes me want to— Islam? Islam's supposed to fight with Ilya? No, they're trying to have Ilya test the waters against somebody first. I've been seeing the rumors with Charles. That's a good fight. Who's Islam supposed to fight? I don't know, but didn't Islam just fight though? Nah, it's coming up on likes that time at this point. I swore it feels like he just fought. Nah, Islam... Maybe it might have been January, December. You're right. Yeah. I feel like, bro, it's been like three months, dude. I feel like he still has some time, but yeah, who knows? Maybe they should just set up to pour you Islam. I mean, I guess you could go Ilya. But, again, do you think that's fair, though, to just immediately have Toporia go up and fight Islam? I mean, he really didn't have, like— No, he only defended the belt once. Yeah, you know? He didn't show he was, like, a dominant champ in that division. I mean, like, yeah, you knocked out two legends, but I don't know. Yeah, that was cold. That was cold. I'm definitely a fan of Toporia, too. Don't get it twisted. I don't think that deserves, like, an automatic shot in a division that's stacked. Yeah, I feel like that's a respectable question to ask. Because, honestly, I— When's the last time Justin Gaethje lost? To Max. But at the same time, Taborius slept. Slept Max. We're getting to the point where some of the OGs are on winning streaks again. So it's like... Does he deserve another title shot? Hey, nah, some of them are really doing their job. Those placeholders, though. Again, a Gaethje is a placeholder to see. But he keeps winning, and it's like, oh, shit. But nah, I think Teporio could definitely slump Gaethje. Oh, for sure, for sure. I think that could happen. But I also think Gaethje could slump anybody if he catches him. I know power in his hands, but it doesn't work like that. But honestly, I think Ilya and Charles would be a really good match. Yeah, I think that's a good matchup right there. I feel like that's a winnable fight. But I feel like if Charles wins, then it just kind of ruins the Ilya hype streak. Yeah, it does. So I guess it depends what Dana wants to do, to keep it real. So, yeah, honestly, his best bet might immediately go Islam. Unless he wants to give him... No, because honestly, the UFC does just need something... Some new type of just hype going on right now. They don't got nothing, bro. Yeah, because they don't really got nothing going on right now. I mean, you saw they gave O'Malley a rematch? Yeah, and that's the thing, too. I don't think O'Malley deserved the rematch immediately. I feel like O'Malley should have fought somebody. Should have fought somebody else, bro. And then rematch. Except for Corey Sanhagen. Yeah. But Corey Sanhagen, Figueiredo? That's going to be an interesting matchup. That guy announced already? I think, yeah. I think that's supposed to be happening still, bro. That's crazy because Figgy is like fucking 5'4". And Corey Sanhagen is like 5'11". So that matchup is going to be crazy. That's going to be a tough one. Yeah. Damn. Let me see when that is. That's going to be real tough. Yeah, that's May 3rd. That's the main event, UFC Fight Night. That's a good one. Yeah, that is going to be a good one because the co-main is DeRitter and Bo Nickel. Oh! Yeah. Bo Nickel gets a challenge, finally. Oh, whoa. So we're really going to see. Oh. This is going to be fraud check. It's straight fraud check. Oh, we have some fraud checking this weekend, too. Who's this weekend? I said next weekend. Patty and Michael Chandler. Is that next weekend? Yeah. That's next weekend. Yeah, we have some fraud checks soon for Patty. Yeah, that's the 12th. Another true test. Can Patty take a punch? Nah, I think Patty's getting slumped. Can Patty take a punch? I'm not going to lie. I think it's not... The focus isn't solely on fighting anymore with Patty. I feel like that persona has gotten to him a lot. And he... just isn't as focused as some of these other guys, bro. Yeah, you know Bobby Green, but it's Bobby Green. Yeah, you know Bobby Green, bro. Anybody can slump Bobby Green, bro. Yeah, Bobby Green's one of those fighters. He fights like that. It's just so all over the place. Let me not say anybody can slump Bobby Green, all right? Yeah, but you know. Yeah, he just doesn't put his hands up, dude. Come on, Bobby. Bro, keeping your hands down hasn't been working, bro. It does not. I wish he would just put his hands up. Bro, for reals. Just fight. Dude, is Bryce Mitchell supposed to fight still too? He is. That's a good one. Dude. I can't stand Dana, bro. He'll let Bryce Mitchell just, you know, fucking pussyfoot around the UFC after making those comments. Make those crazy comments. Oh, shoot. He made crazy comments, dude. Nah, but he's supposed to fight someone. Hopefully, they're going to... Yeah, Gene Silva. Oh, yeah, that's going to be a good one. Nah, you know what I'm disappointed in? I'm officially just on a hate train for them now is... Jamal Hill, bro. Oh, he's injured again, I saw. Yeah, man. Just certified bum, bro. He's supposed to fight Khalil. Yeah, I saw. That's going to be a good one. This is what we were talking about just off mic, bro. We've been talking about that a lot. Yeah, man. That's a good matchup right there to really just see who's who. Yeah, because we know we all feel like Khalil's for real. Exactly. But Jamal, I don't feel like Jamal's all that, but his record... Yeah, his record's good. Yeah, you know, because his only losses are the real ones. So it's like, all right. You know what I mean? He lost to some real ones. You lost to Yuri, and you lost to Potan. Yeah, I can't be mad at that. Yeah, like, all right. All right, but can you beat Khalil Roundtree, who I feel like is the real deal, bro? I feel like he has a certain style, too. I know you hate his goddamn style, but he has a certain style, too. It's sloppy, bro. He has no footwork, bro. No kick game. Yeah. Very one-dimensional. No footwork. Bro, he has some power. He has some power. I'll give him that. It's just interesting, man. Honestly, I could talk about UFC all day, bro. It's sad, though, man. I fuck with him a lot, too, though. I don't know. I liked him as a fighter. I still do, obviously, but it's not the same. Yeah, man. It is not. It's crazy because at one point I was rooting for him versus Pohton, bro. Oh, heck yeah, bro. What? Because people was really counting him out. And you know, there's a part of me that's always like, all right, I got to root for the black man, bro. Oh, same. But then I was like. And he was talking a hot game, too. He was like, yeah, man. He was like, yeah, Potan. He's good. He's good in kickboxing. He said, but this is MMA. Stop. Said, this is MMA. He's like, I'm knocking niggas out in MMA. He was talking. And I'm like, all right. Like, that's a valid argument. He was talking that spicy. So I was like, that's a valid argument. We'll see what he's going to bring to the table. He was talking spicy. And I was like, oh, damn, okay. That's how he feels. Bro, got put on one of the coldest highlight reels ever, bro. That's something I can't be mad. That was one of the coldest knockouts of all time, bro. Easily. Easily. That's something I can't be mad at him. Like my mom knows about that knockout. That's how nasty that knockout is, bro. Everyone sees it. Yeah, my mom knows about it, bro. So we do have the fight card, what, next weekend? What was it? Next weekend is Josh Evans. That's 314? Or no, oh, 314. Yeah, we got Volk versus Diego Lopez. Who you got? I don't know, bro. Honestly. I think Volk's time is up, bro. Yeah, you got Lopez? I think Volk's time is up, bro. Diego is hungry, bro. Every time I see Diego fight, bro, he just fights with just this tenacity, dog. I do like the way he fights. And he has a quick recovery, too, because I've also seen him get stunned. I've seen him get rocked a few times, bro. And he recovers very well. And I feel like he has a very good reach advantage over Volk. You know, so even if Volk does clip him, he has to get in close, and I feel like Diego's comfortable fighting close as well. And I feel like he has all the tools. Yeah. Yeah, he's a very just well-rounded fighter, bro. I could definitely see Diego Lopez holding the belt for a second and featherweight possibly. Yeah, honestly. I could see him possibly holding the belt, especially if Toporia's out. Because honestly, I thought he would be an interesting matchup against Toporia if we're being for real. He didn't want to cut weight no more, so he had to go run. Yeah. I'm a synthie. Poor is a good fighter. Okay, Michael Chandler, Patty, who you got? I got Michael Chandler again. Like I said, I don't think it's about fighting with Patty. Michael Chandler's just a seasoned vet, bro. I'm not going to count him out. Yeah, that's true. I got Chandler, too. And then Mitchell Silva? I think it's Silva, bro. I'm going to go with Silva. Silva does Muay Thai, right? He does. I think he does Muay Thai. Yeah, Bryce Mitchell, dude, I think he's a piece of shit. Honestly, I think he's overhyped. Yeah, he's just a bad guy, bro. I just don't want to be a fan of him, so I'm just going to go for Gene Silva, bro. Yeah, I like that. I do like that. Yair Rodriguez. Oh. Patricio Pitbull. Honestly. That's interesting, bro. I do hate when guys come over from other fight clubs a little late. Yeah. That's kind of how I felt about MVP. Yeah, and Ben Askren. Oh, yeah. That's a little late, but Pitbull was a champion in Bellator, man. He might pull it off. I don't know. Yair is a straight kickboxer. Yeah. Kicks are coming from every direction. But, yeah, he hasn't been on like a losing streak, hasn't he? Yeah, he hasn't. He just hasn't been on a hot streak. He hasn't been good for Yair. I can't lie. This is a very beatable Yair. Ortega beat him, Volk. But, yeah, you know what, though? Those are some dogs, though, that also beat him. Exactly. So we're going to see. Yeah, he lost to some dogs. And then Dominic Ray is coming back, man. Yeah. The guy who almost beat Jon Jones. Who did beat Jon Jones. We know. Jon Jones did lose. He beat Jon, bro. It's sad to say. Jon lost. Every time I watch it back, I'm like, dude, he's smoking Jon, bro. Oh, yeah. Jon lost, bro. He just showed way more heart that fight, bro. Jon did. Bro, you can see him break Jon's spirit. Oh, yeah, dude. Jon was going to give up. It looked like... I don't know where John had a burst of energy in the fifth round and they gave it to him, but John gave up that fight. But Dominic's back against, what, a Russian? Not much to do. We're not going to do that. Krylov? Yeah, I don't know where he's from. Krylov, where's he from? Kirov? He's from Moscow. Krylov? Ukraine. Oh, okay, so... One of those old Soviet countries. So, honestly, you think Dominic Reyes bounces back again, another win? Yeah. Is it over? Yeah, we'll see. Honestly, we'll see if there could be a resurgence of Dominic Reyes, bro. Because he's supposed to be champ, low-key. Yeah, and then, yeah, I feel like his career definitely takes a whole other trajectory. If he wins, you know that definitely does... Right? His ego's different after that. You know what I mean? Your self-esteem's different after that. You know, being the champ. I do feel kind of bad. Yeah, so we'll see, man. We'll see if he can come back from that. And then we have... Actually, this card got one of my, you know... My dog's on the perimeter card. Got Dan Ige fighting. Dan Ige, bro. I know that's going to be a good one. Ever since he took that last-minute fight, I've been a fan of Dan Ige, bro. Dan Ige took a fight on, like, what? Like a 12-hour notice? Yeah. You know? That's what I'm saying. That was pretty insane. Yeah, that's a real warrior right there. Anytime, anywhere, I'm ready. So it's hard not to support Dan Ige. And I'm glad Dana keeps him active, too, because I know Dan Ige has had a few losses. Exactly. But he's like, you know, we still going to make sure you don't have some opportunities in the UFC. Yeah, bro. So I like that. Another fight I like on that card is the Jim Miller versus the Chase Hooper. You got the old man versus the young kid. Jim Miller, bro. Yeah. I think Jim Miller's 40. I think he's 41. They love trying to sell people nostalgia. I'm not going for Jim Miller, bro. That's straight nostalgia. Yeah, I'm going for the young man, bro. Sorry, Jim Miller, bro. That is straight nostalgia. Yeah, bro. 40-something, bro. I know, bro, your body got some miles on it, dog. It's over, bro. Yeah, your body got some miles on it. And on top of that, the kid has a height advantage and a reach advantage. Yeah, that's bad. Come on, dude. Younger. Yeah. Sorry, Jim Miller. Coming off a dub. Yeah, you know. But you know, I also like that... women's strawweight fight that uh yan zhao shenan that is a good one actually we have seen yan fight a few times yeah so i'm interested yeah she bro she's a machine too bro she's honestly she's actually really good i felt like that was one of the best fights i've ever seen with her and what's her face um weili zhang yeah that yeah you're right that was a really damn that was a great fight damn that weili zhang fight was great actually Who am I kidding? Yeah, no, that was a really good one, you know? Yeah, I'm excited to see her fight, too. And that's interesting that they got that on the prelims. And honestly, prelims look pretty solid. Yeah, they got that as a prelim fight. That's interesting. There's about four prelim fights that I'm watching. Yeah. Yeah, so you know what? UFC 214 doesn't look like the worst. Yeah. But I don't think it's the best necessarily. It's a solid card. Yeah, I feel like if they had that Carlos Prates fight on there, it definitely would have added a lot more. But that's interesting, though, that they got Ian Gary, Carlos Prates. Yeah, because that got moved, right? Yeah. That's going to be Hill Roundtree. Okay, there you go. That's taking that fight. Even that's a solid card. I mean, that's a free one, so that's a good one. All right, man. It's been a lot of UFC talk. I know. Sorry, guys. Well, we've probably lost some, y'all. I know, man. Lakers in four. Luka, baby. Lakers in four. Lakers in five. Isn't that crazy, bro? Do you think the Lakers are serious contenders this year? Honestly, I think so. Where the Lakers play, yeah. I mean, yeah, they swing the ball around. They play solid defense. I think so. Okay. I think, I mean, but if they don't play defense, it's going to get ugly because somebody's got to rely on off-scoring teams, and that's not going to work. Yeah. But the West looks wide open to me this year. I can't lie. I mean, OKC looks great, but I just don't feel like outside of SGA, I don't think they have, like, a bucket getter. Yeah, and then this is still regular season. We know a lot of these veteran teams now also have a postseason mode, bro. Yeah, exactly. You know what I mean? They know how to kick it in during the postseason. I don't feel like there's any easy teams to play in the postseason in the West, bro. So, I don't know. I think it's going to be tough. Wizards, not Wizards. The Warriors look pretty good. They're starting to click right now with Jimmy Butler. Yep. I don't know, man. It's just a few teams. I can see anybody sneaking it in because you know what it is, too? The Thunder also won injury away from not being able to compete. Because they play such team ball. And that's what a lot of these teams do. They also won injury away from, hey, man, you were the second seed. Now you're not. If Jackson Hayes goes down, it's over. We only got one center. That's what I'm saying, bro. Some teams, they're designed bad. I can't lie. We only got one center. But it's still exciting, though. Yeah. It's still exciting. No Jackson Hayes. Man. What's up, baby? Look at Newman, man. Newman's in love. Newman's in love. He said, what's up, baby? Freaking Newman, bro. I love him, man. I love it. What else can we get into? All right, bro. Let's close the pot soon. Yeah. We talked about a lot of this stuff. Yeah. What else? Should we end with something? Let's end it with that funny one. Which one? How do you tell your boyfriend or girlfriend? Nah, that's crazy, bro. Bro, we can't end with that. No? Is that too mean? I got nothing to say about that one. Okay, fine, fine. Somebody's going to know I'm talking about him. Bro, stop. Stop. Noomi, that's a good topic. Fine, Noomi. What else can we... No, we could talk about Aaron the Plumber. Oh, that Red Balloon, Aaron Plummer. Aaron the Plummer. We can finish on Aaron the Plummer, bro. Just him in general? Yeah, or just that whole... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, because I just saw Red Balloon has got the Netflix show, too. Hey, stop playing, bro. Nah, no cap. No way. Yeah. Whoa. Nah, because this is really going to make me get into an even deeper bag, bro. Now you're at Red Balloon. The tiny head's starting to fund it. So they're going to start putting Pop the Balloon... On Netflix. That's what it looks like, bro. Oh, look it, yep, look it. Whoa. You know, you know what that's doing to our community. Yeah. And you know what? I don't even know if that's necessarily a uh a bad thing for for black folks you know i hope this really just pushes black folks away from the pop the balloon because you know what's interesting like we talked about we talked about this off mic like a few days ago about how it's like it's pop the balloon is only like a black thing for the most literally remember we asked mick if she's seen it on her phone she said i've never seen that before ever yeah I was like, oh, what? They only show it to us? Yeah, so that's what's interesting, too, is, like, they tested it out on black folks. You said that. It's like the CIA. Nah, because that's what they do. That's what they do. They test out certain stuff. Nah, bro, I really, you know what, bro? Sometimes I got to stay off of TikTok because, bro, they be having conspiracy theorists on there, bro. It make a lot of sense. It be right sometimes, bro. They be right, bro. They be right, bro. I kind of get this. Oh, my God. I'm telling you. You said they'd be right sometimes. Nah, they'd be right. Because you know what it low-key feel like? It feel like an updated version of when I was younger. And we used to watch them like Illuminati videos. Oh, yeah. Sometimes I'm just like, yo, some of these people, they making sense sometimes, bro. Any black person that was successful is an Illuminati. Hey, they had a lot of evidence against Hove, though, bro. It was a lot of coincidences, bro. A lot of goats and pentagrams. A lot of triangles. Yeah, it was bad. I can't lie. I got to the point where I was like, I can't defend this Hove. I was like, do you know what HOVA stands for? Hey, you know what's crazy, though? I really think about how that really had people's media literacy at an all-time high, though. I

SPEAKER_03: 1:15:42

mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 1:15:43

Yeah, you really was literate, though, bro. You was really reading into things deeper, like, hey, what's the symbology behind this? Yeah, because I feel like how does that set us up now for the current culture, like the Super Bowl and seeing Kendrick's performance? And it had a lot of people thinking about it, right? But I feel like that early on, YouTube kind of set a foundation to have people comfortable with even, like... Because now people are breaking down, like, whole, like, fucking design sets and shit now. That's fine. Yeah, but people are used to that. That's fine. It was something to where it's like, all right, that's not a crazy idea. You know? Freaking Newman, dude. That was like some people's introduction to me. Man, but how do you feel about this Aaron the Plumber thing? He's been around beating people up on every show. Aaron the Plumber, bro. Part of me, bro. He's out here destroying. Part of me is like, dude, I respect how he just never ducks a fade, bro. Or win, lose, or draw. He never ducks a fade. He's like, why are we going to shoot you? Let's fade. Nah, he's crazy. But the other part of me is I really feel like he doesn't know that he's being used. Yeah. As you know, he's being used for, for deeper and darker purposes. Cause he got killed. No, they wouldn't care. Yeah. You know, he's strictly being used for entertainment purposes and he's putting his body on the line and practically being used as like a caricature to some extent. You know what I mean? It's really depressing. Yeah. And you know, I feel like he doesn't, he doesn't see that, bro. You know what I mean? But to a certain extent, I'm like, man, Aaron the Plumber, but I feel like even following along with it, bro, again, it puts me in that mindset of consuming like that degeneracy, bro. I'm back listening to Griselda again. They're back trying to show you stuff on the algorithm. Because then again, bro, because now I've done seen Aaron the Plumber. They had him at a few 20 V1s now, a few different pops. I saw they mixed him with Woody the Snitch. This is getting bad, bro. When does snitching get you famous? Honestly, nah, 6ix9ine too. It happened with 6ix9ine. I wonder how long Woody's going to be able to ride the wave, though. Because 6ix9ine fell off after he snitched. 6ix9ine fell off bad, but Woody black, so we'll see. It might look at him a little different. It's weird. I don't know. It's interesting. I wonder if he goes the Charleston white route. I hate Charleston White. Yeah, I snitched. Of course I did. What are you going to do about it? Yeah, I'm going to call the cops. That's the shit he be saying. I hate him, bro. I hate Charleston White. Yeah, I'm going to call the cops. Oh, man. Because you know what? Because now that really got me thinking about Dr. Umar. Dr. Umar slowly let me down, bro. I'm seeing Dr. Umar become the villain, bro. I've done it. I just feel bad because I'm like, Dr. Omer, I want to support you, bro, but you can't keep doing this. I don't know. You'd be backtracking and not really supporting the stuff he actually would be leaving in. So I'd be feeling bad. Yeah, man. Don't let me down, bro. Oh, this nigga's in love, bro. I love Newman so much, bro. This is a new Newman. Y'all know Newman? I know Newman. But anyway, I'm out of here, bro. Newman's out of here. You see how the jokes feel now? I make them to you now, anyway. It's what it is, man. I love it. Anyway, Unapologetic, episode 58. I love Newman. We're back. Episode 58. A new episode coming out soon. What's up, Newman? What you got, bro? Yeah, if y'all made it to the end, man, I appreciate y'all for... for sticking with us this long. We're back. You know, we're going to try to put out some more content, try to be more consistent, you know, but I hope you just appreciate this episode for now. Yeah, bro. Exactly. So peace.
