Just want y' all to see this real quick, because me, me and Ari, we discussed this this past weekend, but let's go through some hip hop lore, shall we, before we get the day started.
The year is 1997.
We'll get to that, too. But the year is 1997.
All right, a young, racially ambiguous Mariah Carey drops the single.
Let's see here.
Drops this track with the locks in. Mace.
I think y' all know this, right? Hello, hello.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
[00:07:33] Speaker M: You're now in the mix with DJ High Star.
[00:07:43] Speaker A: I think y' all remember this, right?
[00:07:47] Speaker P: Young
[00:07:48] Speaker Q: Jadakissa.

[00:08:23] Speaker A: All right, we gonna get to this hip hop lord real quick.
I want y'. All.
All right, so Mariah is the hot thing on the. You know what I mean? On the scene, inside the young song stress,
[00:08:42] Speaker S: right?
[00:08:42] Speaker A: I want us to go to Facebook.
[00:08:59] Speaker S: See here? Where does Mace first start at?
[00:09:03] Speaker A: All right, so Mace. Mace is on the track, too.

So here go Mace part. Let's see if there's any shots in here. I just want to see.
We blow your house down. Rent that Harlem will sound directly to your town. In fact, this is why I act like that.
Thinking about it now. This is post biggie.
New York number one was up for the taking and do real things. And this was Bad Boys.
On fire.
Oh, no, we won't stop right?
So salute to Mace, cuz. And then even he was always good at those crowd catching little lines like that to end his verse. So but at this time, had another artist out of Brooklyn and they camp out of Brooklyn that was trying to do their thing.
So what did they do? They went ahead and recruited Mariah as well.
See what year this color is.
All right, DJ Clue, let me draw some parallels real quick. So this was 99. So there's like two years after Honey.
The Honey remix is probably like 98 or whatever. But still through this, right?
So
[00:11:17] Speaker T: shout out to
[00:11:19] Speaker U: Real
[00:11:19] Speaker A: Petty, man.
All of these.
[00:11:28] Speaker S: They used
[00:11:28] Speaker A: to wait to the end of the track to really put the rapper on the beginning of the song. They gotta sell that. They gotta sell that part to the radio. You'll be lucky if you heard the rapper's verse at the end on these R B joints. So let's go ahead and fast forward.

Welcome to another episode of Mandatory Overtime. I'm your main man, DJ High Star. Here at Mandatory Overtime. The aim is for us to recalibrate manhood. That's what each conversation with our community. The community, of course, consists of you all. Let's give y' all a round of applause.
Let's not Confuse this with the manosphere.
Well, first and foremost, just simply an audio journal of an 80s, baby. A social experiment and consistency. You could have been anywhere in the world and y' all are here listening to me.
So I appreciate that for sure.
Don't confuse this with the manosphere. It's just a place where the man is fair to pull up a chair like comment, subscribe, share, engage and make some noise, y'. All. Cause your main man is here. You heard.
Reporting live from Charlotte America, 704-980. What's happening? What's happening with y'? All?
Queen City.
I'm joined by my Russian sound engineer and the Czech von 2 a Czech von 2 let's go to work.
Salute to everybody out there. What's up, y'? All? Listen, if I want to do the engagement plug early, though, if you do want to connect with with the show, email us. Mandatory ot704gmail.com mandatory ot704gmail.com or you just give us a phone call. 7047-8170-1170-4781-7011 all right.
And so that's at least on the show. Cuz I have not said that for the last couple weeks.
Salute to everybody that voted.
Salute to everybody that voted out.
Yeah, we'll get to that early, I guess.
Random thoughts, but I'll do that after building wisdom and stuff. But for those that don't know, the Democrats, as Trump tries to lovingly call them the Democrats, but the Democrats took the House and the Senate, what would be considered a victory in politics or whatnot. So salute to them.
And yeah, I mean, shout out. Like I said, I have a little deeper, deeper thoughts on voting process and all of that stuff. And we'll get to that in a second. But right now we'll celebrate the fact that, listen, man, North Carolina was blue in the 60s. Well, hold on,
[00:19:17] Speaker AC: no disrespect,
[00:19:19] Speaker A: but it's just blue. Like
[00:19:23] Speaker AD: Respect Club.
[00:19:25] Speaker A: I'm saying Respect Club.
Shout out to petey pablo.
So, yeah, North Carolina, did they turn blue?
I think they went from Tom Tillis, I believe. But Roy Cooper is now a senator, the representative.
And okay, I'm gradually engaging in politics and you know, I've come a long way from being disenfranchised. But still, yet it's still, you know, places to take. But nevertheless, Roy Cooper, who was on the ticket over Michael Whiteley, he, he went ahead and do one, mind you, there was a couple things also on the ballot as far as amendments. It's just gonna make it a little bit more expensive. Tax. Tax time for North Carolinians.
Because we voted against certain things that Roy Cooper was campaigning for. But nevertheless, we did turn blue. That was a statement in itself.
It's crazy, right? Against the. The bloods of the politic world. The Republicans, the blood licklings and the Democrats, the damna Crips and the blood puckins.
I guess that's what we'll address them as this episode. But nevertheless, everybody that did go out there and vote, let's go ahead and get to it. On the brotherly.
I mean, come here. Building wisdom.
[00:21:21] Speaker AE: Today's mathematics, yo. No disrespect, but we ain't in all of that, son.
[00:21:24] Speaker AF: Build, destroy. The build is to elevate the mentalities of self and those around self to add positive energy to every nation. To build, you must first start from the root, which is the knowledge foundation.
And I don't want to. The highest peak. To destroy is to eliminate and destroy any and all negativity that enters my cipher of supreme harmony.
Peace, God. Peace, God.
[00:21:46] Speaker AG: Come on, son.
Do
[00:21:49] Speaker AH: the knowledge. I know you going to dig this.
[00:21:54] Speaker A: All right, so we going to start the week off. I got some stuff from Brother Taz.
Salute.
Salute. To Brother Taz, of course, on the docket as well. But Brother Taz sends over.
The irony of the human condition is that we are so focused on reaching some point in our journey, some happiness or some goal, that we seem to forget that the journey itself is where life happens.
Facts.
[00:22:28] Speaker C: Let me work.
Please, let me work.
[00:22:32] Speaker A: All right, and then we've got. The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has his limit. I remember reading that one.
Don't tell people you're playing. Show them your results.
Okay, let's see. If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or objects.
Be stubborn about your goals, but flexible about your methods.
If your goal sets you apart from the crowd, stay alone.
You are always stronger than you think you are.
Little rapid fire. With Brother Taz, the only difference between a good day and a bad day is your attitude.
All right, Hold on.
All right, there we go.
We are grateful.
We give hugs. We say, I'm sorry. We make mistakes. We are family. We keep our promises. We do our best.
Salute. And then five things you'll never recover in life. A stone after his throne. A word after it's said. An occasion after his miss time after it's gone. And trust after it's lost.
All right, salute. We're gonna take a quick break and in that, do this.
Hello. Hello. Hey. Hey. What's up? What's up? How you doing?
I'm good. How are you?
Good. Sorry to call you during the day and stuff, but kind of recording the podcast right now. But you call that a perfect time? Just highlight and showing you some love. Ari B.

So happy birthday. Now, I think we're gonna recap, you know, the weekend and stuff, but sad to get you on the call and celebrate our local celebrities because.

[00:24:42] Speaker AI: I appreciate it. Thank you.
[00:24:48] Speaker A: There you have it, y'. All. R, A B.

All right.
All right, so. Salute.
That's one birthday shout out. Out the way.
Jump the wagon or whatever it's called. But anyways. Yeah. So those five things you'll never recover from in life again. A stone after his throne. A word after it said. An occasion after it's missed time after it's gone, or trust after it's lost.
Salute to brother Taz for that.
And then we also want to bring cousin Jerome in the mix. Mix Rome just sent something today I want to say.
There we go. All right, so cousin Jerome sends over. Great minds have purposes, others have wishes.
Washington Irving, Salute.
All right, a biblical Bible verse here.
So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened. And for you, Luke 11 and 9.
Salute. Shout out to cousin Jerome.
We've also got here. Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.
George Washington.
That holds true this week also.
Sometimes I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry and merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? Me? It's beyond me. Zora Neal here. Zora Neale Hurston.
Salute.
Shout out to cousin Jerome.
Shout out to Taz on the building wisdom. I'm gonna check real quick to see if we got anything in our media folder to play for building wisdom. Give me one quick second here.
Just one moment.
All right, so I'm gonna play this from the late, great comedian George Carlin. Let's just go ahead and check this clip out real quick.
[00:27:02] Speaker AJ: I stay
[00:27:02] Speaker AK: home. I don't vote. Them.
Them. I don't
[00:27:06] Speaker A: vote.
[00:27:08] Speaker AJ: Two reasons I don't vote. First of all, it's meaningless. This country was bought and sold and paid for a long Time ago. The. They shuffle around every four years.
And secondly, I don't vote because I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain.
People like to twist that around. I know they say, they say, well, if you don't vote, you have no right to complain. But where's the logic in
[00:27:30] Speaker AK: that? If you vote
[00:27:32] Speaker AJ: and you elect office and screw everything up, well, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem. You voted them in. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand,
[00:27:43] Speaker AL: who did not vote, who did not vote world,
[00:27:46] Speaker AJ: who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain as loud as I want about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with.
Thou shalt not. All
[00:27:59] Speaker A: right, so that was one clip.
[00:28:02] Speaker AJ: But when you think about it, when you think about it, religion has never really had a big problem with murder.
More people have been killed in the name of God than any other
[00:28:14] Speaker AM: reason. All you have to do.
[00:28:20] Speaker AJ: Uhhuh.
All you have to do is look at Northern Ireland, the Middle East, Kashmir, the Inquisition, the Crusades and the World Trade center to see how seriously the religious folks take thou shalt not kill. The more devout they are, the more they see murder as.
[00:28:41] Speaker A: So he said at the end of that clip,
[00:28:51] Speaker AJ: The Middle east, cashmere, the Inquisition, World Trade center, to see how seriously the religious folks take thou shalt not kill. The more devout they are, the more they see
[00:29:01] Speaker AN: murder as being negotiable.
Negotiable, you know.
All
[00:29:07] Speaker A: right, so that was George Carlin right there. Let's go ahead and add some context to this too.
White man. Now, George Carlin has always shown to be, you know what I'm saying? He's, he's far left in my opinion, but he's just for the people. He's never been problematic or shown to be problematic. Always been honest in himself.
But he is a white man, you know what I mean, Talking about the power to exercise as far as voting or not voting. So remember, he's always had that right, regardless from the inception of the voting over here and stuff like that.
Black people, it may be a little bit different and nuanced because we have just received those rights.
However, when we discussed this, What our ancestors fought for and marched for and were killed for, again, I believe was the right to vote and to have that option to participate in the voting process, you know, again, and be a part of this civic, you know, movement of, of your society, wherever that may be locally or nationally, that still in it, in its inception is a choice.
So when, when you break it down, if someone were to, were to ask you if you vote or you have any kind of discussion about it, Are you looking, if you're the person that's asking someone if they voted, are you looking for them to say that they did vote? Are you looking for them to say that they voted a certain way?
You know, with this election and politics being as divisive or polarizing as they've become with the blood plains and the Democrats, it is kind of like kill the other side and stuff like that and decorum like I mentioned last week, and just common decency of respect for, for each other to be able to work across the aisle for the better of the American people. That's gone.
So I can understand people picking aside and choosing a side and then again turning against others that have picked another side because some of the disrespect that we've received as black people thus far in this presidency, you know, it like the, again, the, the overt just in your face disrespect and stuff like that is hard to ignore.
So I understand folks that are asking people, hey, did you vote? And they have a preconceived notion of, okay, if you say yes, I hope you voted the right way type deal. But my thing is, again, what happens when somebody says, yeah, I did vote, and then they, but they didn't vote your interest or they may have voted on an independent ticket that would have taken votes away from the blood Plakins or the Democrats, you know, so I believe asking people that question, we have to be prepared when we look to engage in those conversations to receive, of course, any answers and not the answers that we're expecting to hear from people even after they say, like, yeah, I did exercise my right to vote. And you know what I mean for. Because the person that, who's.
I know, the person that votes and then votes red and the person that doesn't engage in the civic process, who's more dangerous? You know, I don't. I just, just a thought, just the random thoughts and I'm thinking out loud. But that was my, my extended thoughts on the voting process. Again, I did vote and salute to North Carolina for making the statement that it made.
But again, I always want to be fair. It's a place where the man is fair, which I want me to do. Always want to be fair. Whenever engaging in that conversation and understanding that I may receive any kind of answer whenever I'm asking that question, it's not that I'm necessarily going to get the answer that I'm looking for, so.
But yeah, shout out. I voted.
I know we had daylight savings time as well this past week.
Also had Halloween going on this past week, but as y' all just heard, of course, phone, it was Ari B's. Well, it's always RB's birthday yesterday.
And this past weekend, we did celebrate through a Michael Jackson theme birthday party. And you come like that and your Michael Jackson regalia and all of that.
So again, salute to Reb.
And let me see here, Let me see, please.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm sorry, y'. All. I'm messing this all up. But that's how it was on.
That's how I feel like it was on Saturday night. Anyways, I was messing up with the DJ duties,
[00:34:55] Speaker AA: So, yeah,
[00:35:06] Speaker A: Some of the notable that popped out, Ash. And of course, Kayla, Jayla, Bri. Salute to all y'. All.
Adrian, of course. Lissa, what's happening to all y'? All? Q and Keely. Absolutely. Sock.
I hope I'm not missing anyone. Of course, Reb to start the show. But it was a. It was a blast. We had a blast, y'. All.
Great time on Halloween night. Put the candy outside. There's a lot of kids that came by to do this self, you know, I mean, take your own candy thing. So that was its own thing. But, you know, salute again. And it is Scorpio season, I suppose.
So Big Cliff, he's got a birthday right around the corner.
Birthday. So we're gonna see if we can get him on the line as well. What I was explaining to Rab on the phone was this episode, because we're going to get to it.
We gotta stop. We gotta start celebrating our own, right? Instead of exalting these so called celebrities, we're gonna give our own and our own tribe and stuff, their celebrity status and their celebrity fathers while we can.
So let's see if I can get my brother on the line real quick.
Let's see here.
Peace, brother. Peace, bro. Peace. What's good?
[00:36:51] Speaker AO: What's good with it?

[00:38:46] Speaker AQ: I'mma leave it there. I ain't got to say nothing else.
[00:38:49] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, listen, we can always. L listen, bro, I got a notebook of the record.
I'm saying. I got a notebook keeping score. It's all good.
So good, baby.
Nah, man. Do your thing, though, bro.
All right, man.
I'll let you. Yeah.
Yeah, man. Salute to Fat Boy.
Happy birthday once again, my brother. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying, man. We gonna create our own celebrities out here because D.C. celebrities is tripping. Been tripping. No.
[00:39:25] Speaker AT: Bang, bang.
[00:39:26] Speaker K: Like that.
[00:39:26] Speaker C: Let me work.
[00:39:28] Speaker A: Start with stuff, cuz.
Everybody, man, ever since this, it's sour serendipity. Ever since the black MIS leadership video dropped with FD signifier, people have been showing exactly their colors so that
[00:39:49] Speaker AU: we sick and tired of that nigga.
[00:39:51] Speaker A: Yes, Stephen A. First of all, okay, so Stephen A.
This is still kind of election related, but he took a dinner with the president, Bill Maher and Kid Rock, and it was headline news a couple weeks ago or whatnot. But a lot of people condemned him for that. DL Hughley being one of the louder critics.
Look, Stephen A. He went on the View to try to explain his point. Let me see if I can Find that clip for y' all real quick. Hold on.
[00:40:19] Speaker AV: But evidently, you can run for the presidency,
[00:40:23] Speaker AW: so, so trying to get
[00:40:24] Speaker A: it. The reality is
[00:40:26] Speaker AV: I'm just. I'm just speaking from a constitutional perspective in that regard, and it points to a bigger issue. There's so many people that have this mentality, why even waste time talking to him? Whether you like it or not, he's the President of the United States of America. He's not going away until 2028, at least. He's not going away. And so
[00:40:42] Speaker AX: because of that, well, he may get impeached and convicted.
[00:40:44] Speaker AV: It doesn't matter. Hold on. Wait a minute.
He's been impeached twice.
[00:40:48] Speaker AX: Not convicted.
[00:40:49] Speaker AV: He's been impeached twice. Well, again, you're gonna have a situation where I think the Republicans are gonna maintain the Senate. They'll probably lose the House, so you'll get folks to impeach him, but then they'll step in and they'll save them, and it'll be an ongoing, continuous thing. And don't get me started with that, because I get disgusted with all that pomp and circumstance. I'm so sick and tired of us acting like that's going to do something. He's not going away until 2028. Until he goes
[00:41:15] Speaker A: to jail, bro. He
[00:41:16] Speaker AV: has the power of the pen of the executive office. As the commander in chief of the United States of America, you're going to have to deal with them. And when it comes to getting things done,
[00:41:25] Speaker A: see, that's. I, I, I can't. I can't keep going on. But the word salad.
Stephen A. Loves talk shows so that he could talk. So I can't keep going on with that.
[00:41:37] Speaker AY: I will say this to you. I am tired of having to go back time and time again and explain why this man is not understanding. I understand what you're talking about with the HSV. HBCUs. HBCU. HBCU. HBCUs. Yes,
[00:41:54] Speaker A: but. All right, now, Whoopi,
[00:41:55] Speaker AY: I have watched them do things to people, not just to black people, but to Latinos, to women that are just inexplicable to me. And until you can explain yourself in a way that doesn't require you to call everybody by weird names. And, you know when you can explain why you've gone to a war that we shouldn't be in because people are dying, when you can't explain it, talk
[00:42:20] Speaker AV: about that, too. I did ask. It would
[00:42:21] Speaker AY: be nice if he told us.
[00:42:23] Speaker AV: Well, again, well, you know what I mean. This is the view. Invite him and see if he comes. Baby,
[00:42:29] Speaker AZ: I'm not
[00:42:30] Speaker A: saying stop him,
[00:42:30] Speaker BA: stop.
We've invited him,
[00:42:35] Speaker AV: of course. Yeah, well, you had J.D. vance on here, but I mean, he should come. No question about it. But what I'm saying to you is this. He
[00:42:41] Speaker AX: calls you all the time. Why don't you tell him to come?
[00:42:43] Speaker AV: He just. First of all. First of all, he hasn't called me all the time. He did call me the other day, but that was the first time he had called me in over a decade. I hadn't spoken to him since
[00:42:53] Speaker AX: 2014, since the dinner. Have you seen. This is
[00:42:55] Speaker A: the clip right here, though.
[00:42:56] Speaker BB: Yes, he's called.
[00:42:57] Speaker BC: He followed up on what you followed. He's followed up. He's
[00:42:59] Speaker AV: followed up on what he told. Let's see what happened. But I want to say this. When we think people think about him, that's not what I think about. I also think about the 77 million people who voted for him. And the reality is, is that a lot of times when we're talking, so many people get so disgusted with him, they ignore the reasons why he was supported. Now, everybody, there are a lot of people that obviously dislike him. There are a lot. There are millions upon millions of people who disagree with practically everything he does. There is no one who applauds his lack of decorum for the most part. But in the end, when you are. When you've received 77 million votes, that is an indictment against the state of our country and how people are feeling about it. They're not thinking about him. They want people that are in a position to have some level of influence to get something done for themselves, their communities in the
[00:43:54] Speaker A: America. Sounds like somebody wants to be. You can't think about him
[00:43:56] Speaker AV: because he's not gonna do it. In the classiest way. He took me down the Colonnade where he had a picture of every single president, every picture
[00:44:02] Speaker AX: of. Framed in gold
[00:44:04] Speaker BD: framed,
[00:44:05] Speaker AV: I think it was. But every picture of every single president but Joe Biden. Yeah. And he said, and in place of Joe Biden, I said, he had an auto. A picture of an auto pen. And I said to him, that's cruel. Why are you doing that? For what? What purpose does it serve? He said, stephen, it is funny. It really, really is. That's what he said. And then we're arguing about different points.
[00:44:25] Speaker AY: Tell that to all the farmers and the people who can't make.
[00:44:27] Speaker A: Exactly. Because why are we talking about the picture? So.
So yeah, that. That end part, it took a while to get to that.
So as great of an orator as Stephen A is and how eloquent he is, essentially like Bruh. That gives validation to how that, that you're aware of what you're doing and how smart you are. So whether you have some kind of game behind the scenes that you're trying to play or spook that sat by the door or future political aspirations, it still comes off tasteless. And it's disheartening and disappointing to, to me as a black man, because what I hear from you, I, I, I get it. But where's the discussion about the guy's stage of dementia and how we need to get him some help and, or a prison cell?
Yeah. So nevertheless. And salute again to the Democrats for taking over the House and the Sen.
That was a long I didn't even want to spend that much time on Stephen A like that this week. But that was, that was long overdue. Let's just say that.
Let's see here.
Yeah. All right, so let's play this clip here real quick. Okay.
[00:45:54] Speaker BE: So people have been sending me videos of Shannon Sharp and Joe Johnson and Ocho Cinco talking about their situation with North Carolina A T and want my thoughts on it. I'll go make a video about it anyway. But first of all, salute. Clap clap to Shannon Sharp, man, for wanting to take wanting to take north wanting to
[00:46:11] Speaker A: take north
[00:46:14] Speaker BE: to give them some publicity to show them some love. To show that hbcu. Some love. Some love. Shout out to Shannon Sharp for doing that man on his own dime, on his own diamond of his production company. But according to Shannon Sharp, somebody at North Carolina A and T said, well, if you want to have anybody from this university on your show show, Shannon Sharp was going to have to pay them a talent fee. And Shannon Sharp said they've been playing this for the last couple of months. And that's how it goes in a production like this. You have to plan that and you have to pay your production people. You have to pay for the court to get set up. You have to pay for their hotels, you have to pay for them to travel. You have to pay for them for them to eat. All it has to be prepaid.
But somebody with North Carolina and T was a was an to them was to him. He said basically the person that was over it told him basically to kiss his kiss kiss their ass. That was Shannon Sharp says. And if so, if that's the case, man, I feel sorry for the children and the people at North Carolina Auntie,
[00:46:59] Speaker BF: because
[00:47:00] Speaker BE: that's a huge commercial for them.
Shannon Sharp and Nightcap wasn't really going to gain anything by going. They're popular. They're going to continue to be popular. But that's a huge commercial for North Carolina A and T that Shannon Sharp was trying to give those young people, those young royals and the alums and the university, which would probably be a cash infusion for them because that's huge marketing.
So that's how I feel about it. Salute. Clap clap to Shannon Sar for doing that, for wanting to do that and that. And if that's what's indeed happened, he should be pissed off.
But for everybody saying that's the problem with no man. You're not going to take one instance of something happening at the HBCU and try to dog all HBCUs because all HBCUs operate like that. We've seen big reductions go to HBCUs before, plenty of times. And this is the only time we hear about a situation like this. It's almost like when people go to a black owned restaurant and somebody black do something. See? Told you. They're looking for an excuse to hate on all HBCUs and hate on all magically melanated, aka black people. That ain't the case. That's just one situation.
But people look for a reason to not support HBCUs or not support black people doing anything but one person do something. All of all, everybody
[00:47:58] Speaker A: gets cast now and then. He gave a lot, Shannon a lot of grace on that.
I wanted to find anything that is kind of talking about a T. I know Cam did, but let me
[00:48:17] Speaker BG: that Nightcap is not able to broadcast from North Carolina a t during during their centennial homecoming. It is very unfortunate. I wish things could have gone differently. I think that Shannon Sharp and crew had a great time. I think they would have brought something amazing to North Carolina Auntie. But don't get it twisted. North Carolina Auntie does not need nightcap has gone to be North Carolina Auntie. North Carolina A&T is the largest HBCU in America in terms of population in the world. In terms of population, they have 15,000 students. There's going to be 200,000 people probably over that amount that are going to be at jiho, the greatest woman on earth on Saturday. They probably already started coming in. Okay. Got 15, 000 students plus hundreds of thousands of people that are AMC affiliated or otherwise that are going to be in Greensboro this weekend. Okay. Also on top of that, they're going to be bringing hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions of dollars this year to the local economy of Greensboro. And the surrounding cities, possibly the state of North Carolina in general, is going to see something. I promise you. Nightcap ain't taking it away.
Nightcap was not gonna bring it. I need people to put that into perspective, because North Carolina, A and T is one of the institutions that does not need Shannon Sharp to come spotlight the poll. Oh, hbcu, that's not what they need. They don't need Shannon Sharp or Randall with HBCU pulse or anything like that to come down and specifically spotlight the school. Now, while I can't agree with you that it would have been beneficial for both parties, I'm not going to sit here and let you say that, Anthony. I think it would have been beneficial because Shannon Sharp has an audience that might not be a totally HBCU centric audience. North Carolina, of course they're attracting black folks that went to HBCUs, that went to college. If you like HBCU football, you're tapping in with anti, seeing what they're doing. If you like HBCU culture, a lot of the culture pieces come from North Carolina, A T. But Nightcap attracts a different follower base of sports fans that might have gone to PWIs, that might not have gone to HBCUs or college in general. You might have younger folks that like Shannon Sharp.
[00:49:58] Speaker A: All right, so let me cut the brother wisdom, though, real quick, y'. All. Salute. I think his brother's name is Randall Barnes Times on Twitter. But he essentially was. That's the side that. Or the perspective that I'm coming from. And he don't need you standing. All right, okay. Like, again, this celebrity culture, celebrity society, where y' all think that something is holier than now. That's the problem with icon iconography or idolatry and everything like that. That's the issue with that, because the people receiving that praise, they need that praise afterwards or need to think that.
That they're the prize, bro. I understand y' all had an issue and everything, but everything that you then said you didn't want to do, you did, so. Oh, I don't want to put a bad light on HBCUs. You did that, brother. Okay, like.
And then you compare it to the Prairie Review Experience, which is not A and T. It's a smaller HBCU as far as power population goes. And then also prepare to game day going to PWIs. That was real low. All right, Shannon. So, Dr. Umar, I got to provide you some lashes, my brother. Okay.
[00:51:18] Speaker BH: Am I correct?
[00:51:21] Speaker A: He explained stuff too much anyways.
Yeah, yeah, brother.
Okay, so that's Shannon Sharp. I'm gonna play this real quick.
No wait. Let's play this real quick. This is to introduce our next.
[00:51:39] Speaker BI: He sent his My man. If you want
[00:51:42] Speaker A: you to change. This
[00:51:43] Speaker BI: man said he sent his My man. If you want a good customer service, you should have went in there. Did your mama make birthday song? No.
Oh, can't I catch up to my campaign Guccalla mayonnaise.
[00:51:56] Speaker BJ: I said that.
[00:51:58] Speaker BI: Talking about his mama, ain't we? My mama can't eat either. She ain't. Two Chains. What the hell is tsa?
I don't know them letters.
All I know is ysl. I have a greeter. I don't even speak to these po ass niggas. How you give two chains two stars? If you a two hour wait for you, it should be a 30 second wait for me.
[00:52:22] Speaker A: Salute today. I don't know what his name is, but he's on Tik Tok or whatnot. Salute to him as well. This whole two Chains situation. I don't want to play any clips from the two Chains from the Kurt Franklin's show, but salute to the King's den.
They've had a lot of viral clips and elite choppa. A lot of different things. But I wanted to play this real quick for y' all with this. When it comes to the two chain situation, let's see the
[00:52:54] Speaker BK: strikes and effect.
[00:52:58] Speaker BL: So Two Chains is a musician, so I'm sure he knows who Barbra Streisand is. But I'm not sure if he's familiar with the Streisand effect which he's experiencing right now. So let me explain it to you right quick. P.S. i don't hear nothing bad about this
[00:53:09] Speaker A: white woman. And this wasn't. And this wasn't real cool.
[00:53:13] Speaker BL: Leave it alone. I won't hear nothing bad about this white woman. The tricet effect is a term that we use when you bring attention to some you really didn't want to bring attention to. But because you being extra and you put too much on it and you doing too much, you now brought attention to the thing that you didn't want to bring attention to. And that is what two chains has done with his restaurant, Mr. Chime Time and Keith Lee. Because here's the thing. I think we can all accept at this point that Keith Lee is one of God's favorites. Okay? Keely is one of God's favorites. You went on on Kirk Franklin's podcast to try to nut up on Keith Lee.
What is wrong with you? Listen, I know you sold drugs but are you also on them? Because what the. It was unnecessary. And that's why people say God don't like ugly. Because had you not been ugly, maybe y' all could have sussed it out and realized that you mad at the whole wrong person. But no, you tried to come for Keith Lee's neck on his review of your restaurant. That does not exist. That does not exist because it wasn't Keith Lee that reviewed your restaurant. It was Mr. Chime Time. Now, I personally do not listen to Mr. Chime Time. I do not like his brand of content, okay? And that's just my personal preference. He's very mean. He's very ugly. He's
[00:54:15] Speaker A: very short. Again, into her flow state.
[00:54:18] Speaker BL: So, you know, in my
[00:54:20] Speaker A: mind. Get to the point. My mom
[00:54:22] Speaker BL: together, you know, y'. All. Y' all met, y' all match. And that's what the you get. But you try to put this on Keith Lee. Keith Lee would never review something like Time Time does. He would never do that because that's not in his heart. That's not in his heart, and that's not what he does. Was
[00:54:33] Speaker A: one thing I'm noticing is how many neurodivergent people are online and stuff.
Things that annoy me, stuff that I do.
[00:54:41] Speaker BL: Wanted to know whether or not it's your food that's making you struggle
[00:54:46] Speaker A: or maybe just you
[00:54:46] Speaker BL: don't have enough attention to change this restaurant. Because now everybody's looking up that Mr. Chime Time video. Mr. Chime Time is being ugly as hell in the video talking about your food. I don't know if it's good, bad or otherwise. Baby, I'm from Louisiana. I can cook. So good food is in my own kitchen. I don't have to go out to eat. Okay?
[00:55:02] Speaker A: She mind you, she started this off. But I'm gonna be real quick.
[00:55:05] Speaker BL: So it is very hard to impress me. As far
[00:55:07] Speaker A: as.
And number three,
[00:55:09] Speaker BL: one of the top places that Keely went was, well, New Orleans.
So, yeah. So at the end of the day, I think we can conclude that two chains out here acting like a white woman. And again, no shade to baron. I love Bar street, so. But you out here acting like a white woman. And now you done strike affected yourself.
[00:55:23] Speaker BJ: Good luck.
[00:55:25] Speaker BL: Additionally, I'mma say this and get out of here. Number one, stop trying to come for people. She get the rage.
That is the lesson here, okay?
[00:55:32] Speaker BM: Be humble.
[00:55:33] Speaker BL: Improve yourself. If some somebody says that some is off work to improve. It don't work to try to come for somebody's neck just
[00:55:39] Speaker A: because you got Some celebrity, and you
[00:55:41] Speaker BL: decide to change. You can't cook, so why you mad about the food being nasty? Go in there and work some out. You so mad about somebody giving your business. All
[00:55:49] Speaker A: right, sis, we gotta cut your wisdom now. See, you started with I'm gonna be quick, but nah. Nevertheless, she. She kind of summed up what's going on with two chain situation right now. Those that don't know. Again, he had a conversation on Kirk Franklin's platform, the King's Den. He was speaking with Keith Lee.
Others was intent in attendance. Mojo Brooks, Desi Banks, of course, Kirk Franklin there. And he, you know, introduced his.
His thoughts and his feelings or his emotions by kind of minute. Not kind of, but minimizing. Keith Lee offer it, you know, because I don't know what to do, buddy, and all of that. And then Keith Lee says at one point, which restaurant of yours did I review? Because it looked like Keith Lee was trying to get to the bottom of it. Two chains combatively says, that don't matter right now. That's not what the point is. Then goes to talk about what all the restaurants that he has in Atlanta and real estate that he owns. Again, it's a listen, man, I'm over the celebrity stuff, whatever people that we made celebrities and things, but if you've seen the clip, I pray that you all have. But y', all, I hope y' all understand my frustration and why I don't want to play it again, because I've heard it ad nauseam. Two chains is all the way wrong. He's trying to backpedal, but also, he was loud and wrong. Just loud and wrong. And again, I don't want to keep putting it on Atlanta people, but it's just people in general that if you know a couple other words and you're proud of the words that, you know, you want to use them in conversation and you want to bring it up and say, shut the upper.
Shut the up.
But yeah, it was talking in circles. Wasn't getting to no point with what he was saying. And then everything that Keith Lee was saying, had you expounded or actually listened to him to digest what he was saying. Pause, partner left. You could speaking in two chains right now. You could have realized that this is just not the reviewer or this is not probably the same person that I saw that was reviewing my stuff. Keith Lee does have his own opinion about Atlanta in general in their food scene down there and has that recorded. But he has no recorded reviews of any restaurants that two chains on.
Mr. Chime Time does.
Yeah.
So two chains,
[00:58:33] Speaker BH: am I correct?
[00:58:35] Speaker AU: We sick and tired of that.
[00:58:39] Speaker A: Yeah, bro. So you had the whole wrong person. You never took a second to have the dialogue and conversation enough to have that. And then you also Freudian spoke. I mean, Freudian slipped with a lot of things that you said and spoke about, like as far as your feelings and your perspective on celebrity culture. So, yeah, two chains means it again.
I send you to Dr. Umar, brother for some lashings. Just had you on the docket, brother. I just want to keep it at that with you, brother, because, yeah, Stephen A. Okay, we had Nori. He ran down on a.
A podcast. I mean, social media content creator. I'll just be easy out there. Yo. I don't want to really play Nori's thing because not really Jack and Nori either. Pause. But celebrities want to have it both ways. They want people to know that they're authentic and from the streets and really will pull up on you and I'm outside and all of that. But then at the same time, you want special treatment and to be treated like a God wherever you go.
The out of here, man. The out of here. Yo. So yeah, that.
I don't know what the title is gonna be today, but yeah, we gotta.
I had some high star bars. I'm gonna play. I gotta find them, and then we'll do some brotherly love and get on out of here, y'. All.
Let's see. But always remember, I want to hear y' all viewpoints on the Shannon Sharp situation.
And then also this two chain situation.
Feel free to write in mandatory ot704gmail.com mandatory ot704gmail.com or call us 704-781-7011. Two chains or Stephen A. Situation as well. Two chains.
All. All three of them involve where two chains. Shannon Sharp and Stephen A. They had nuggets of truth and everything they were saying or valid points and everything they were saying. But it's just misguided energy, perhaps, or just.
Just that entitlement shining through. And that's. That's corny, yo. Very corny. All right, let me go ahead and play this commercial while we. Well, it's not a commercial. It's more like a comedy break while I look for these high star bars for y'. All. All right, let's see. Give me one second.
Let's see here. Growing
[01:01:25] Speaker BN: up in Connecticut, people used to tell me that I talk white.
Now less people tell me that
[01:01:31] Speaker BF: because I killed all those people.
[01:01:36] Speaker BN: But it comes up in new ways. Now, like, I did a show where there was a dj, and after I did my set, the DJ played Reading Rainbow.
That's disrespect.
That's disrespect. Cause that's not on a regular DJs repertoire.
You have to find that song.
That's a YouTube to MP3 download.
[01:02:00] Speaker BF: That's all. Cause of how I sound,
[01:02:02] Speaker BO: the words that come out of my mouth.
Cause my words are white.
But what I need people to know that my thoughts
[01:02:11] Speaker BP: are black.
I have black thoughts,
[01:02:17] Speaker BO: white words.
[01:02:21] Speaker BN: That's a tough combination. That's tough. But you can have it worse in this world.
You can have white thoughts,
[01:02:29] Speaker BQ: black words.
[01:02:34] Speaker BF: That's like Jack Harlow.
[01:02:37] Speaker BN: That's like Chet Hanks, Tom Hanks, son. Chet Hanks.
Yo, he got white dots, Jimmy. Con words like up here, up here. Chet Hanks will think. He'll think to himself, he'll be like, say
[01:02:48] Speaker BR: hello, my name is Chet Hanks. Say hello, my name is Chet Hanks. Say hello, my name is Chet Hanks. 3,
[01:02:54] Speaker BQ: 2, 1, Wagwan
[01:02:59] Speaker BN: me name Cha Anks.
You can have it worse than that, though.
You can have white thoughts,
[01:03:08] Speaker BQ: white words.
[01:03:11] Speaker BN: There are a lot of people in this room with white thoughts, white words.
But a famous example of white thoughts, white words is like Candace Owens.
Cause up here, up here, Candace Owens will think, she'll think to herself, she'll be like,
[01:03:25] Speaker BQ: I hate black people.
[01:03:29] Speaker BN: And then out loud, she'll
[01:03:30] Speaker BQ: say, I hate black people.
[01:03:34] Speaker BN: That's a through line.
I don't have that. I don't have that.
[01:03:38] Speaker BF: I've got black thoughts,
[01:03:41] Speaker BQ: white words.
[01:03:43] Speaker BN: So the way that comes out is like when that DJ played Reading Rainbow, I thought to myself, I was like,
[01:03:49] Speaker BS: yo, this nigga got me fucked up.
[01:03:57] Speaker BN: And then I lied. I was like, I'm upset.
[01:04:11] Speaker A: All right? So I wanted to play this for High Star bars this week instead of Stop Bars. We'll call it Brotherly Love. It'll be a little bit longer, but bear with me, y'. All. This is actually from Keith Lee. Let's see if I could play it on like 2x or anything like that.
Let me see here. Well, first, let me just read this real quick.
Regarding Keith Lee. His taste buds save so many small businesses. He's going to these places leaving thousand dollar tips on the 60 bill. I've seen him leave 5k for people for come to come to try to free food. Two Chains is proud to use his privilege only to help himself.
And this is talking about two Chains. I think that dude, y'. All. Oh, no, no, Let me see. I think that dude y' all love so much has awful taste buds. So the content is terrible to me. I was rolling with two chains at first, but he's been in this long enough to know how people was going to take his celebrity comments. Come on, bro. All right, so I don't like what that person said at all. But in response, somebody says, who really gives a F about taste buds?
Who else is doing this? Keith Le for the people. So this wanted to go ahead and play the restaurant. I got
[01:05:26] Speaker BT: feedback from my family, and I saw for myself. Me and my family were driving around Atlanta looking for places to eat when I received this email. You can pause to read if you would like to.
[01:05:32] Speaker A: All right. The email says, ayo Keef, I know you in Atlanta.
I was wondering if you could come by and try my mom restaurant. It's called the Dining Experience.
I'm at Fairburn Senoia Road. It'll be an honor for you to try amazing food and have a good experience. We're open Friday through Sunday, 9am through 3pm so family were
[01:05:55] Speaker BT: driving around Atlanta looking for places. All right, I got it. Let's try it. It ready 1 to 10. I spent 60. The name of this place is a Dining Experience experience. It's about 30 minutes from downtown Atlanta. When you pulled up, it was completely empty from the parking lot to the actual restaurant itself. Nobody. Now, I want to know, is it the customer service? Is it the food, or is it the lack of marketing? In my opinion, if you compare it to the rest of the customer service we've had since we've been in Atlanta, this is pretty good. After I was done with the review, I walked in the restaurant, I got feedback from my family. I saw for myself, and my opinion on customer service changed drastically. I'll explain all of that at the end of granny. No calling orders or no pickup on doordash. But the people on the inside were really nice. So compared to the rest of Atlanta so far, I don't think the customer service is the issue. And as you can see, I'm sitting in the car, so they have no idea I'm here. I'm gonna show you anything I got, and we're gonna try every one to ten sound. My egg
[01:06:29] Speaker A: rolls fried. All right. Boom. So he's going through eating. That's the part that I don't like. I'm not an ASMR type of guy.
All right? So I think
[01:06:37] Speaker BT: it's simple, really well, if you ask me. So in my opinion, why is the Dining experience completely Empty on a Friday morning. To me, it's not the customer service and it's the show, not the food. It's the marketing. And I pray and I hope after this y' all reach our target audience. God bless you have an amazing day. Y' all be safe now. Like I said, when I was done with my food, I walked in and the guy that I met who was the waiter, he had some of the best customer service I experienced in a long time time. My family was happy. I was happy. When I say attentive, nice. My family's been indecisive. We didn't know if he's gonna do takeout. We didn't was gonna sit. He didn't care. We had two babies with us. Didn't care. Amazing customer service. The closest to a 10 out of 10 customer service I've experienced in a long time. So much so when it was time to pay for our bill, the bill was 76. I tipped him a thousand. When I tipped him, the owner asked, was it tip for the whole staff? I said, yeah, y' all can split it throughout the whole staff. I tipped him personally another thousand dollars because, yes, the rest of the staff was really nice and the food was really good. But that waiter, he deserved every bit of it. I came
[01:07:19] Speaker BU: to him and from the whole time, he kept good customer service. I even flipped it from I told him to go. Then I switched it up, said, no, I want to stay here. He still kept his composure. Still,
[01:07:30] Speaker A: I'm. I'm just sniffling. I just sneeze.
[01:07:33] Speaker BV: Everybody else, I want y
[01:07:34] Speaker A: think I'm crying like that.
[01:07:41] Speaker BW: Oh,
[01:07:42] Speaker A: God. All right, so if y' all hear that.
So Keith Lee, he was essentially, he tipped the restaurant 2K.
Tipped the. Because when he first was offering the waiter or owner, I didn't get pick up who that guy was that was serving them. He offered them 1k. The guy said offered to spread it with his staff and the rest of the crew. And so Keith Lee pulled him to the side and offered him another 2k.
So I want to play this one real quick.
[01:08:13] Speaker BX: Life, you got to receive the light. Instead of crying, you need to rejoice because guess what? That man walked into your status.
[01:08:22] Speaker A: We're going to exalt and really get churchy out here.
So if you want to show examples is
[01:08:30] Speaker BT: because this was different than all my other videos. Let's talk about it. Me and my family are ATL and we decided to go to Six Flags as a last minute family. Now, Six Flags didn't have much food, so he's hungry. But Six Flags close at 11pm and my God sister actually lives in Atlanta. So we asked her where should we eat. She recommended a place called Jamaican Turkey. It was only seven minutes away from Six Flag, but what we did know is they also closed at 11 o'. Clock. But my God sister decided to call anyway just to see if there was possibility that we can get food. Mind you, my God sister never said I was with her, so they had no ideas for us. But they said, no rush. Absolutely. We'll stay open. You just come in with y', all, get done with the park. I had no intention of recording anything. So my God says I walked in and grabbed the food. I came in maybe like 10 minutes later, and the owner immediately start crying. She said she been dming me for the last year to come to the restaurant. God. And this side, I went,
[01:09:03] Speaker BY: I
[01:09:03] Speaker BZ: appreciate you.
Thank
[01:09:05] Speaker CA: you. And again, you stayed late and you had no idea.
[01:09:07] Speaker A: So they've been dm. I
[01:09:08] Speaker BV: appreciate you. What time
[01:09:09] Speaker A: trying to get him to come out there.
[01:09:11] Speaker BT: It's 11:52.
[01:09:12] Speaker A: Ain't trying to hear this, man. You put your order in already.
[01:09:14] Speaker CB: They making it now deposited. I wrote to him.
[01:09:16] Speaker CC: I wrote him so much. I had
[01:09:18] Speaker CB: my message like.
[01:09:19] Speaker CC: So why you got no they making it? That's correct. Okay.
[01:09:22] Speaker CA: And again, you making it like that. And I'm gonna reiterate. She had no idea what was up for us. You want to
[01:09:26] Speaker CD: drink? I'm good. I appreciate you.
[01:09:28] Speaker CB: The one I'm trying to tell you. I used to. To send him so much message.
[01:09:31] Speaker BT: After hearing her story and seeing a custom service, I was taken back. I asked her what her sales. I completely matched him. I said, you didn't charge her yet, did you?
2600.
[01:09:42] Speaker CA: Can I pay you that?
Can I pay you that?
Can I pay you that? I want to match your sales for the day.
[01:09:52] Speaker BU: He wants to match your
[01:09:54] Speaker CA: match. So charged my car for 26.73. Now, I'm dead serious, too. I'm dead serious. Charge my car for 26.73. That's what she said she made. When sales today.
[01:10:03] Speaker CB: This was. I said one of them was something that I bought. See, I bought something for 200.

[01:10:12] Speaker CE: Now, see, when you call

[01:10:35] Speaker BX: You Always say, who don't, who has not. And God said, you walking in life, you got to receive the light. Instead of crying, you need to rejoice.
[01:10:46] Speaker U: You hear what I'm telling you?
[01:10:48] Speaker BX: Rejoice. Because guess what? That man walked into your establishment and God put that on his heart. I took out the
[01:10:55] Speaker CA: gratuity. Why? Put the gratuity back on there. And when
[01:10:58] Speaker BT: I got to the hotel room, I ate the food. She gave us some Roster pastas. And in my opinion, absolutely
