Welcome to another episode of Mandatory Overtime. I'm your main man, DJ High Star. Appreciate y' all joining me. The aim here, mandatory overtime, is all, of course, for us to recalibrate and redefine manhood. That's with each conversation that we have as a community. The community consists of you all, all right? You could have been anywhere in the world. Hold on now. Hold on. Let's. Let's run that back. The community that consists of you all. All right. This is simply an audio Journal of an 80s, baby. Okay? Social experiment and consistency, all right? You could have been anywhere in the world. But you're here listening to me. And for that, I appreciate it. I appreciate you. All right? Let's not confuse this with the manosphere. It's just a place where the man is fair. Pull up a chair. Like comment. Subscribe. Engage. This week, I'm in Emphasize Share. But most importantly, make some noise, y'. All. Cause your main man is here. You heard Reporting live from the 704-980-Charlotte America was hanning.

You know it's gonna get better at that. Salute to boom, man. Or baby keen. All right? Cause Vegas is amongst us. I'm gonna get too much into it. But it seems also like it's birthday season for your boy as well. You heard? So season is feeling about that time your boy's grown. Yeah. Hey, I'm 40. We know. I'm grown, okay? We're not about to be playing these little boy games. Is grown. Is grown. All right. Well, yeah. Let's go to work. Listen, smooth episode last week. I ain't hear too many revisions or anything like that. So, you know, considering the long. The long intro or the long intro. Let's go ahead and get started and get right to it. Y. Come here, Prince. [00:13:02] Speaker A: What's today's mathematics, yo? [00:13:04] Speaker D: No disrespect, but we ain't in all of that, son. [00:13:06] Speaker E: Build. Destroy. He build us 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 add on to the highest peak. To destroy is to eliminate and destroy any and all negativity that enters my cipher of supreme harmony. [00:13:26] Speaker B: Peace, God. [00:13:27] Speaker E: Peace, God. [00:13:29] Speaker A: Knowledge. [00:13:30] Speaker B: I know you gonna dig this. All right, so we're gonna start this week off with Cousin Jerome and realize how long the intro was. So might be expediting a lot of these portions of the show. Cousin Jerome sent over a couple. We have one from Aldous Huxley. Let's see here. This is gonna be. Or. It says, there's only one corner of the universe that you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self. All right, gangster right there. Church. It's gospel. The last one here is by Voltaire on behalf of Cousin Jerome. It reads, it is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it. I like that as well. Okay. It's not sufficient to see and to know. Know the beauty of a work, but we must feel and be affected by it. Salute. Salute. Salute. [00:14:28] Speaker A: Do the knowledge. [00:14:29] Speaker B: All right, so we also got a couple from Bling Bling sent over some shout out to my brother Bling. What's up, bruh? This latest one that he sent this morning, it's profound. Seven in the morning said, be the solution, not the problem. If you know someone is cheating, firing, demoting, belittling, judging, and doing morally unexplainable things and you're still cool with them, stand with them, etc, then you're a co signer and you're just as much the problem. How do you live with yourself? Yeah, I'm hoping that he wasn't directly sending it to me. I think his wisdom that he was just sending, like, forwarding. That's what I'm hoping. Let's read it one more time. Yeah, I don't think it's directed at me. I ain't and hit Dogs, so I ain't gonna holler. But be the solution, not the problem. If you know someone who is cheating, firing, demoting, belittling, judging, and doing morally unexplainable things and you're still cool with them or stand with them, etc, then you're a co signer and you're just as much the problem. How do you live with yourself? All right, Bling, we might have to get on the phone just so I could make sure that that's not, like, directed at me. And that was just like some wisdom that you were sharing, my brother. But still, you know, all the love is the same. You heard. You heard, salute to my brother Bling. You heard shout out that brother you love. Also the cousin Jerome, of course, sending over his, you know what I'm saying, his words of wisdom and everything like that. And yeah, salute. Salute. So we're gonna go ahead and move forward. I actually got a couple of emails to go through, so we're gonna go ahead and read those and get through those. Let's see here. Starting off with my girl, Reb. Salute. Salute. Let's go ahead and read these emails to get this started, y'. All. The email reads monitoring spirits. Hey, mandatory OTs fam. First and foremost, we are nine days away from DJ High Star birthday. Excuse me? Yeah, we are nine days away from DJs High Star's birthday. Make some noise, y'. [00:16:54] Speaker C: All. [00:16:54] Speaker B: What the. Or make some noise, y'. All. What the Sexy red voice. Anywho, my algorithm has been putting streamer clips, like streamer you and the Crash out boys lock in the Crash Out Boys lock in boxing stuff, all on my timeline. She may have me to thank for that saying. And all I could say is people show you exactly who they are. I'm not a fan of Dean. I think he's a monitoring spirit. Let's get the gun if we can. I think he's a monitoring spirit. [00:17:31] Speaker D: Okay. [00:17:33] Speaker B: All right. She said, I think he's a monitoring spirit because every. Ever since, AB has been doing better. He's been negative and jealous. Glad that she noticed that we locked in rb, but I'm gonna bring that up later on in the show as well. It's scary, and you can see the evil in his eyes. I hope AB Remains sober and healthy and distance himself from him. Also, to double laugh at Dame Dash, I think he just really misses Jay Z and the life that they had together. He slips and says we a lot when discussing Jay Z's decisions. For example, when we was. When he was like, we don't even go to the barbershop. Someone comes and cuts. Oh, someone comes and cuts our hair. Like, my. Who is we? Another scary Destiny swap situation. Destiny swap. Yeah. I hope Carlos and the Groom Crew enjoy Vegas. Peace and love, Reb. Salute. Shout out to Rabbit. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Let's go back through this real quick. First and foremost, like she said, we are nine ways, nine days away from DJ High Star's birthday. Y'. All. Come on now. Hold on. My bad. All right, Appreciate that. And let's see here. Okay. Anywho, my algorithm has been put in streamer clips. Like streamer you and the Crash out boys lock in boxing stuff on my timeline. All I can say is people show you who exactly who they are. I'm not a fan of Dean. I think he's a monitoring spirit. I just learned that term this week. Thank you, Reb. But I. I agree with her because ever since AB has been doing better, he's been negative and jealous. Is scary, and you can see the evil in his eyes. Hope AB remains sober and healthy and distance himself from him. So I will say salute to a B. Definitely on the progress. I'm gonna get into that a little bit more later as well. Yeah, I think he's harvesting people's energy and stuff, and. And he's not enjoying to see the success or the, you know, the upward trajection that AB is on. Also the double F at Dame. I think he really misses Jay. Yeah, I've seen some more Dame interviews this weekend. It's just sad. Like I said, that's the only word I could use to just describe it. Like you said, he slips and says we a lot, and then he has this Al Bundy type of syndrome where he keeps Going back to the past, the 80s, the 90s. He keeps going back. So I think he lives with a lot of regret. And personally. But lastly, she said, I hope Carlos and the Groom Crew enjoy Vegas. You heard. Appreciate you, Reb. Thank you. Thank you so much for the love and the email. We appreciate that. Shout out to. [00:20:29] Speaker A: All [00:20:31] Speaker B: right, so we got a second email here. This is from Fat Boy, so let's go ahead and get into it. Peace and hot. Peace. High star and mandatory ot. I'm on vacation in Orlando. Trying to get this email in before our Vegas trip. I'm gonna drop some wisdom real quick. Stop measuring your progress by what you can see. The deepest shifts happen beneath the surface. It's deep right beneath the surface. Okay, enough all of that. Listen, if you have not been to Epic, the park and Universal, you're missing out on everything you would want an amusement park to be. In other words, Carowinds ain't got on this. Exactly, Exactly. Let's talk a little bit about Vegas. You're going out here for my boy Louis, man. All right, so I just. All right, you can pick up while I'm going out there. But I just. Official purposes, I can't really spell out a lot, so. Matter of fact, yeah, I'm bleep out whatever. I can't say. Let's talk a little bit about Vegas. We going out here. I'm gonna say less, but I want to play some wagers out there. Most likely to get emotional while drinking. My boy. Hey, Q. Okay, I'm not explaining my selections. That's what he said. We're starting off hot. Most likely to get emotional while drinking. My boy, Q. Most likely to get hurt on the ATVs. Mandatory. OT's very own DJ High Star. We don't talk about it. First one to get drunk. Lightweight awards. Grooming to be Carlos and most likely to lose something, I.D. wallet, phone. Ufe's very own Mixmaster T. Let me know what y' all think. And I'll be leaving mad voice notes the entire trip. Again, nothing incriminating. Again, already on vacation, so I got a jet. See y' all boys in Vegas. And peace to mandatory ot. Fat Boy. Appreciate you, my life. Appreciate you, my life. Salute. So, yeah, we're gonna go over that email real quick. Shout out to Fat Boy. Appreciate you. All right, so he's on vacation right now in Orlando. Salute to that, though. I ain't been in Orlando. Well, I've been to Florida and, you know, with the cruises, but I ain't been down there to Orlando to kick it for a minute. So salute. I know that you're enjoying that. Let's see here. Stop measuring your progress by what you can see. The deepest shifts happen beneath the surface. Word to icebergs, y'. All. Words of icebergs. I definitely agree with that. You say if you haven't been to Epic the Parking Universal. So good plug with that, y'. [00:23:22] Speaker A: All. [00:23:22] Speaker B: Make sure y' all check that out if you're in Florida, all right? Vegas is going out here. Shout out to Los. My boy Lo. Salute. And I'm gonna say less. That's right. Okay. Yeah. In the wagers. So most likely to get emotional while drinking. My boy. Hey, Q. He said, I'm not explaining my selections. Now. I will point this out. It doesn't say, you know, emotional in a good or a bad way. So, you know, everybody has a connotation with emotional. Like, you know, you'll be crying and all of that type of stuff. You know, Q is emotional in a positive way where he really appreciates time, quality time with his brothers and I mean, and. And, you know, just cherishing fellowship and everything like that. So I can definitely see, you know, your angle with that now. Most likely get hurt on the ATVs. Let's not get it confused. He does say DJ High Star, and then listen, DJ High Star, for all intents and purposes, would. Would be looking to have an enjoyable experience on the four wheelers or ATVs. But I'm not going to be reckless. Or DJ High Star is not going to be reckless. Excuse me. It's work purposes. But DJ High Stars won't. Will not be reckless in the. In that regard. But we. We shall see. I mean, it's. You know, we shall see. I will be fleeto. Believe that. Okay. Your will be [00:24:52] Speaker D: trans. [00:24:52] Speaker B: 10 in the eyes. Clean it in a whistle you heard. No fits off. No fits off. Let's see here. First, want to get drunk, like win award grown to be. Okay, I can agree with that. It's just only because I don't know the other gentleman that will be joining us. And, you know, but I'll put that as a tie kind of between him and him and him and Hank you. I'm gonna just say. Let me just say. And mixed me. Never mind, Never mind. Mix mask is not. No lightweight at all, but it's just. I could see everybody in the running for that with that one. Okay. Most likely to lose some ID, wallet, phone. UFC's very own expensive tea. So we're gonna see. We're gonna see how These play out. Appreciate you, my boy. Yeah. For those wages and those friendly bets. Appreciate that. And I appreciate you and Reb again for writing in to the show. So salute. Thank you again for that. [00:26:03] Speaker D: Like that. [00:26:03] Speaker B: All right, so let's go ahead and move forward. I'm gonna go ahead. We'll move forward with our alpha lunch segment real quick. So, yeah, went ahead and fired the Oklahoma Joe back up, please. Believe me. Did a little jerk chicken the day [00:26:20] Speaker C: sweet. [00:26:22] Speaker B: Get a little heat at the end of it. You know what I'm saying? You know, I mean, now Q came over. Q came through. He popped out with like some steak and some lobster tails we threw on there. Now also, I have grilled a snapper. Okay. [00:26:40] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:26:41] Speaker B: Smoke snapper and red snapper and did the whole vibe right there on the grill. So we have had that also. I know in the past, my outfit lunch segments, I've shared with y' all some recipes with it. There's some secrets, let's just say this. On the chicken on the leg quarters, I did season them two things before. I put my regular, the regular jerk seasoning on it. Nutmeg and. And ground allspice. Y' all, don't knock it till you tried it. All right? I'll give away that much. But I use that in the base of the rub or the seasoning that I had on the chicken. So just letting y' all know that. But yeah, outside of that, we just, we, we. We just steady working on the Oklahoma Joe, you know what I mean? Trying out different things and, and tasting, you know, testing different palettes or, or flavor profiles, if you will. That's all. That's all. We out here just grilling y'. All, you know, being 40, shine, man, being grown man, you heard. Listen, suits out for lunch. Did have a couple random thoughts that I did want to bring up. First one that I had, I wanted to. I wrote this down and I have this stated as don't become or don't be your own obstacle. So do not be your own obstacle. A lot of people may phrase it as getting in your own way or, you know, being in the way. You're getting in your. In your own way. But I think about people. There's certain people that, you know, you can almost count on something happening or something going wrong with them, right? Or something's always up. And then when you analyze it or if you. You spend time with them, you notice that. That a lot of that is self inflicted. A lot of the worry that we carry throughout life and stuff like that. And the concern is things that may never happen or have not happened. There's no evidence of it happening. So don't become your own obstacle. If you have a task task to do, just do it. If, like, time is undefeated in the. In the regards of if I have somewhere to be, regardless if whatever the traffic or whatever is going on out there in the elements, if I leave where I'm pushing it, then there's a good chance that I'm gonna be late. But if I consistently leave 20 minutes earlier or 15 minutes earlier than. Than the ETA of where I'm going, then I'm probably setting myself up for success as far as, you know, where I need to arrive at and stuff. I hope that's making sense. But that's the simplest form of me saying, don't become your own obstacles, you know, don't do things where. Because, you know, again, life is just a series of our choices. So make wise choices, if you will. I hope that that makes sense. That was my first little random thought. I know it's kind of, you know, philosophical or like I'm giving advice, but hey, I just had that random thought. The second one is this. This is gonna. We're gonna get into sports a little bit with these random throws, these next couple ones, but I don't know what I should title this, but. Oat milk. No, I don't know. It's just so, you know, I brought up Paige Becker's the other week or whatever, like that salute's page, but there's like, white women that, you know, and I'm not at all, like, sexually attracted to them, but they are. [00:30:27] Speaker C: They're cool. [00:30:28] Speaker B: Like, they, Yo, I. I respect you. I see a game, you know what I'm saying? Speaking of like, like a. You know, See, I see you. I see you. It's like, like, if I'm pointing. Speaking of pointing. Okay, the next one on this whole little, I don't know, almond milk segment. I don't know. It's just because almond milk is still digestible for a lot of our. On the left. Digestible for a lot of us, you know, in our community that can't drink whole milk. So may call this segment the almond milk segment. But. And this is in no way any kind of invitations to any cookouts or anything like that. This is just recognition and acknowledgment. I see you. Almond milk. Paige Beckers almond milk. All right, but yeah, Sophie Cunningham. Again, salute to the W. Representing the W. But Sophie Cunningham, if you don't know, look her up. I mentioned her the other week, she actually plays for the Phoenix Mercury and she is the young lady that is in the meme pointing like at the, at the sister that's hooping. Now mind you, the meme of her pointing and the virality of that is not why I've chosen Sophie Cunningham for the almond milk segment this week. But if you see her up other plays and some of her other highlights, she gets busy as far as like, you know, she gets active, in other words. And it's not just with the sisters. Like she gets real active with white women. [00:31:57] Speaker C: So salute. [00:32:01] Speaker B: I'm sorry, I don't know how far. I don't know how far R is going to allow that almond milk segment to get. But again, this is not women that we are lusting over or anything like that. We just want a segment where we can acknowledge allies or school ass white girls. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. It's very cringe in that space. So when I do select one, just know and, and trust that your boy DJ Highstar knows what I'm talking about. [00:32:27] Speaker C: Now. [00:32:30] Speaker B: Gotta watch always. This is. They can always turn Karen. So it's a fine line that you walk. But Paige Beck is so far certified. And, and Sophie Cunningham. Right. In a non lusty way. Certified almond milk. Okay, certified. I'm gonna have a conversation about that later. Anywho. [00:32:54] Speaker C: All right. [00:32:55] Speaker B: Also random thoughts, but also kind of Carolina sports. Lou Dort traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Atlanta Hawks. Now, Atlant traded their Frenchman, Zachary Rish. He was the first pick, first overall pick in 2024, and they traded him over there to OKC. So again, they missed. Must not have been seeing something in, you know, in that brother. But the series continues or this seems like it's been a summer series, if you will, or a plenary, I don't know what you would call it, of the Knicks continuing to dismantle teams. What are we talking about, y'? All? [00:33:41] Speaker C: What? [00:33:44] Speaker A: Who? [00:33:46] Speaker B: Huh? Huh? Yeah, man, it's just, just team after team that we have faced and beaten. There's things going on where you scratch your head. Now, mind you, he was already benched by the time that we was playing Atlanta. All right? He was not a contributing factor in that series. However, another one bites the dust. All right, that's another East. Now they, they may have gotten better with Lou Dort because Lou Dord is a physical guy, you know what I'm saying? So that might have added another dimension to, to, to them as a team, [00:34:27] Speaker C: but [00:34:30] Speaker B: shout out, I guess, man. Shout out to the Knicks somehow. Somehow shout out to the next y'. [00:34:34] Speaker A: All. [00:34:36] Speaker B: Every team that we played is looking like they're getting dismantled. Are they trying to get a facelift or something like that? Now this next story I want to bring up, I don't have much information on it because it literally not only did it happen on air just recently, I think it happened yesterday. Oh my gosh. Okay, I'm gonna read this article from the Daily Beast because I don't have all of the all of the details on this, but salute to Ryan Clark and let's see here. ESPN anchor Ryan Clark was let go by the network, so he's not ESPN anchored in anyways. Anchor Ryan Clark was let go by the network ESPN during a live broadcast. Sources told the at the athletic that Clark, 46, was informed of his firing during Monday's NFL Live show. The anchor subsequently did not finish the program. The Athletic reports that ESPN decided to tell Clark during the broadcast out of fear that the news of his departure would leak. Sources said that they did not want him to read it online before being told in person. Clark's job was allegedly in jeopardy since February Super Bowl. The network is planning to instigate and to instigate further layoffs on Tuesday as a part of a broader cuts at Disney, ESPN's parent company. You don't say. These cuts will reportedly affect both on air personalities and off air employees at ESPN and NFL Networks, its sister platform acquired in February. The Daily Beast has reached out to ESPN for comment. As per a memo sent to ESPN employees by Chairman Jimmy Pataro and obtained by the Daily Beast, the company has made some difficult decisions made about job impacts. It's like deja vu or Groundhog's Day or something like that, pataro said. The network will notify colleagues in other parts of the company today that their positions have been impacted. I. E. You're fired. Over the past several months, we made significant progress integrating the NFL assets that we be acquired into espn, he wrote. Throughout this process, we have taken the time to carefully evaluate our collective teams, resources and organizational structure to best position us for the future. We're committed to treating employees with compassion and respect, to providing support as they navigate this transition. Did Chat GPT write this? Clark, a former NFL player, joined ESPN as an analyst in March of 2015 at the 44 Sports Emmy Awards. In 2023, Clark bagged Outstanding Personality Studio Analyst award. He was making over $2 million a year. ESPN executives had an eye on Clark's performance After incidents with colleague Peter Schrager both on and off air in September 2025, Clark and Schrager had an on air spat on get up after Schrager defended Cowboys wide receiver CD Lamb. And then following the opening night loss and Schrager's defense, Clark. Clark told Schrager and a colleague while pointing a finger, we shouldn't do this on tv. So I apologize if people think this is rude. That's the non player in you. When he, he called the guy shrager out, in other words. Yeah. So you know, it's always contentious on those type of shows where the professional is telling, you know, the, the commentators or whatnot, hey, I did this for a living and stuff like that. But again, those type of positionings for Ryan Clark, that got him, that got him. You know where it was. He posted on Instagram, just put some a video him working out. But he said proof of life before the madness of yesterday. I woke up, got in my tundra, drove to Planet Fitness and got to work. [00:38:27] Speaker A: Work. [00:38:27] Speaker B: The rest of the day was eventful, but the journey continues. My peace is with God and my humility comes from within. I'll continue to build myself so the world can never strip me of what's real. Get moving today, y'. All hashtags is Get Slim or live trying Chronicles of a Fat Man. Shirt all the way tucked in. RC confessionals. All right, well, salute. Brotherly love to the brother Ryan Clark. I hate it. Had to end that way. Dealing with those mega, mega corporations. You know how it goes. Stephen A. Reminds us every chance that he gets. Right. So yeah, we know how it goes. But yeah, salute. I think also with the ecosystem that exists right now of shows. Right. You know, and it, I wouldn't even call it the tier below ESPN because ESPN traditionally is like, like linear and stuff. And then of course they've expanded into online and, and everything nowadays that we do. But these platforms that were built online and have an online audience give more of a underground radio or a college radio feel or where you can express your opinion a whole lot more without repercussions. You could speak a lot more, more colored for lack of better terms, or speak with more personality and not worry about any kind of repercussions. So because it leads me into kind of the Gill's Arenas thing, I'm still trying to figure that out. But it looks like Gill's arena, he signed a new deal with a different company. Rashad McCann seems to be on the other side of this thing where he's kind of going at it with Gill in. In the arena. But nevertheless it just proved, I mean, goes to my point. I know Ryan Clark also had had, you know, his podcast on the side and everything like that. So I'm sure that he'll be fine. But it, it def. That definitely takes a hit where you have to supplement somewhere up to $2 million or whatnot. So prayers up and everything for Ryan Clark and also Gill's arenas, Gills arena rather. But brotherly love also. Now speaking of prayers up, I we did have to lay my brother DG to rest last week. So once again rest in. Rest in heaven, my brother. Rest in peace. Glad that the brothers that showed up, that we were able to show up and send them off properly as far as with our memorial service and give him that respect and give his family that respect. But also, you know, unfortunately he had a couple losses in the industry and this is close to the underground hip hop scene and a lot, a lot closer to the hip hop scene that I was coming up in as far as college and all of that stuff round into anywhere from 2005 to 2015 like that whole decade or that 10 year span. Again, I spoken previously about Duct Tape ent Rest in peace to trouble as one of you know, rest in peace school and shout out to Big Black Big Bank. But Duct tape and T lost Alley Boy. We lost Ally Boy unfortunately. I don't know if I should play that round of applause. My fault we lost Audi Boy unfortunately. And well, I'm played around plus for his life. But yeah, we gotta show respect to Ali Boy. But also just yesterday we lost a popular Jacksonville DJ mixtape, DJ Bigger ranking also. So you know, shout out to both of those brothers, their version of hip hop making timeless music and some hits and you know, just, just kind of putting a time period in a capsule for us with their music and, and you know, giving it to the world. So salute to Bigger ranking. Rest in peace and rest in peace to Ali Boy as well. We appreciate y' all and everything that y' all contributed to the game. To the game, to the game of hip hop. So this next part I wanted to call this Stream of consciousness or stream of thoughts. Stream of thoughts. Stream of consciousness. I'm not sure but we're gonna, I'm gonna talk streamer stuff real quick. All right. First streamer University. All right. Again, it's, it's, it's got its ups, it's downs, it's good bads, all of that stuff and you when you watch it again being we come when you come from that Truman show era, you always question, and the wrestling era, we always questioning everything, right? So starting off, you just don't know. Now, they have improved a lot of things this year that I can appreciate. A lot of their courses and classes are applicable for these young creators to apply to their own, you know, world and spaces. They're getting a lot of information and exchanging a lot of information. Also, the networking pieces there, those two components that are really in universities or colleges that I can appreciate are at streaming University. Now, the nonsense is there, of course, as well. So you see water fights or, you know, or fake fights even, or just all of the nonsense that you get with younger adults. And everybody's not so young in there, though. But nevertheless, I digress. So what occurred this past week? This Negro black boy Max, right? He's always ending up somewhere on the algorithm and stuff. I'll give that. That. All right. He can. He know how to stay in the news. But this plague boy, Max, he's at Streamer University, and if y' all not aware, he's tattooed diva on the side of his body. But also he's been seen out with the sewing wigs and done rolling loud performances with a wig on and stuff like that. So he's always done things to push the boundaries and question his sexuality. Now, mind you. Shout out to the. To the term, mind you. But the brother, he. He claims and declares that he's straight. When he was confronted about it by a streamer named Wardrobe, He's. Who is openly gay and was rooming with him at the Streamer University thing. Blackboy Max said, nah, I don't. Nah, I like women. You know what I'm saying? It's not. It's not. I'm not bi. I'm not gay, I'm not pansexual. None of that ruled all of that out. Okay, cool. So when you're doing this, you're cosplaying as someone that's sus. Or someone that's down low or someone that's gay. Whatever your cosplaying at is, it's disrespectful to the gay community. And that's my thing about it. That's my biggest thing. So moving forward, though, what happened? What occurred? This. This tall ass. Now this. [00:45:27] Speaker A: He. [00:45:27] Speaker B: He's gotten the most probably cloud or the most looks that he's gotten all week because of him, what he said to Blackboy Max. But his name was like something suave. O.J. suave, maybe or something like that. But nevertheless, this brother's Jamaican all right, Looks like James Harden in the face. Hair kind of look like Toby and Nikaway a little bit. All right, his style, he's real in the fashion and all of that. Like, you know how these nowadays, what they call drip or fashion. So anyways, James Harden Jr. He's in Blackboy Max face about this on camera and pretty essentially saying, listen, man, what you're doing is an abomination. This stuff is demonic. Like, why are you playing around with that? And I think he spoke through Blackboy Max or, like, spoke to his soul pretty much, because, I mean, Blackboy Max really didn't have a retort. But to do what a lot of the younger generation does nowadays, he went off and he ranted on his own. Now, all of this stuff is online, y', all, please. It is polluting my timeline at this point, so I'm not going to repurpose it and play it. But after he gets, you know, scolded, if you will, or chastised by this guy, swab. He goes off. And I think that's the brother's name. I hope that's the brother's name, but he goes off. Clack Boy Max goes off and has this little monologue with his streaming community, and he's talking into the camera, but it's something that streamers do, but this generation just does in general, when you try to hold their feet to the fire and hold them accountable for one thing, they may start just flipping out, out and spazzing out and getting emotional and then, like, deflecting or. Or putting things on everything else and making themselves. The. The guy's name is O.J. suave. Yeah. But making themselves the main character or the victim of stuff, like. And I don't. [00:47:25] Speaker A: I don't. [00:47:26] Speaker B: I don't rock with that. I don't like that. I'm. Again, you know how we rock over here? Mandatory overtime. We men of accountability. So, you know, we got to be accountable for our decisions and the choices that we make, and we have to live with them. You know, the choices. It was all good when he's asking about twerking and stuff, men's working or whatever like that. Or he's commenting on Drake's manhood and stuff like that. Yes, yes, y'. All. There's this stuff that the brother has done. All right, I'm sorry, y'. All. Yeah, but Black Boy Max use a freaky ass. All right? Come on, man. [00:47:59] Speaker A: Hey, you know, calling the left champ. [00:48:00] Speaker B: Like, he's done things that are questionable, so he can't. You just can't have it both ways, man. You cause playing or is this truly a discovery phase for you or whatnot? That's nobody's business. Correction. Until you. It's nobody's business until you put it on stream in front of thousands and Thousands of people 24, 7 or every day for you to monetize from from. So that's a choice that we make, bro. That's the exchange that you have with getting, you know, your paper from being a streamer is you're gonna have to answer for some of the choices that you make. So brotherly love to Blackboy Max, Brotherly love to the gay brother wardrobe. Brotherly love to OJ Suave because in this whole thing, I'm on his side of it. Honestly, people talk about the delivery and kind of of, you know, why he did it in that place and why it traveled and it started conversation. So I appreciate him doing that. Honestly, I, I hate to be the one to say it and stand on this hill, but it traveled and it, it bought a conversation to the forefront that we can't hide from or can't continue to run from and deflect and try to put, you know. Yeah, you just can't. We're going to dissect and break down what you're doing, Max. As far as cosplaying a member of, of the that community, it's. It's more than you saying that you're an ally. You are an ally. [00:49:25] Speaker A: Cool. [00:49:25] Speaker B: You could leave it at that. But you're doing different things. You say things and you, you know, and also the other side of it is you know how polarizing the homophobic community is. So you know that you're going to get engagement one way or the other and then you know that, that there's going to be super engagement from the homophobic community and all of that stuff equals eyes looking at you or views and that turns into dollars. So we can't be naive about. About what you're doing, brother. Now the next part of the stream of consciousness will come from Reb. Well, what Reb brought it up, but I was going to bring this up as well. Talking about the AB Dean lock in 45 days lock in situation now they recently bought on Christian rock this past week. I've seen some other boxes on there and Reb is absolutely right when it comes to Dean. I actually have seen like an energy shift or for me it's been. I have to. I have transposed my fan hood or who I'm rooting for and stuff like that. The Beginning of this thing, I was rooting for Dean and thinking in my head like, yo, AV might be the downfall, bro. This, this brother's drinking is going to be the downfall of y' all get out of hand. I didn't get in this streaming university. I mean, because how aggressive y', all, I mean, I've heard allegedly because how aggressive y' all were with the women out there. But y' all were also, you know, again, inebriated and off the alcohol. So I always thought like Dean was the more level headed, younger one, knows what he has to lose and stuff. Since they've been locked in and sober and shooting this content. As far as working out and really having to be disciplined in and work out and lock in, the roles have reversed, man. I've become a yo shout out to AB man. Salute. I mean, granted, again, I've mentioned this from the jump. First of all, shout out to crash out boys in general. Because again, without Dean's like that actions, it wouldn't have bought AB this far. I believe. However, synergy is real, right? Or excuse me, not synergy. But yeah, first of all, like group energy. Yeah, but their relationship rather is symbiotic. So each, each party benefits from, from another. So as much as Dean would like to call himself kind of the cash cow or the person that kind of put this together, A B took Dean to another stratosphere and had us watching Dean for the past two months every day straight. Only other time that we've watched Dean in the past is him doing silly things with no jumper or rampage and getting, you know, pretty much being the butt of the joke or being humiliated. So their relationship is symbiotic. But to Ari B's point, I have seen some like energy harvesting or type things or like what she call it, monitoring spirit from Dean where anytime that anybody gets around, he's definitely jealous. Now, mind you, there goes mind you again. Whenever, mind you, whenever A B, when they were drinking and stuff, A B used to say block for what lack of better terms and always be in the mix. So it just seems as if now that they're sobering up and people are seeing AB's progress and telling how much they're proud of him and stuff. Stuff that that's getting to Dean. So just something to point out, I still got love for both of the main crash out boys. Also got love for my Sauce Walker. I don't know, Ray J. Pushing it, brother. All right. I'm always praying for you, but you pushing it, brother. But salute. Salute to the crash out boys down here in Charlotte, you already know what time it is. [00:53:19] Speaker A: All right? [00:53:20] Speaker B: I'm not gonna say we fellow Crash Out Boys with y', all, but I am a distant cousin, my brothers, okay? And brotherly love to y'. [00:53:28] Speaker C: All. [00:53:29] Speaker B: Salute to the Crash Out Boys. That'll wrap all of that up. I do want to get into some High Star bars real quick if y' all are allowed, so let's go ahead and do that before we wrap up. [00:53:44] Speaker C: Today's work of art will come from the brother that many say that I favor, Brother Ice Cube. The brother Ice Cube has a classic hip hop melody called It Was a Good Day. The day itself in question is off of Conjecture is rumored to be January 20, 1992. Okay, this date was calculated by a blogger in 2012, but also the famous song has been featured on several best [00:54:26] Speaker B: of lists and it's featured prominently in the game Grand Theft Auto San Andreas [00:54:31] Speaker C: that we discussed last week. That gives the ode to the 80s [00:54:36] Speaker B: or the early 90s, excuse me and mid-90s West coast, but it samples the intro from the Isley Brothers Footsteps in the Dark and it's arguably more famous than the Footsteps in the Dark track, [00:54:54] Speaker C: so we'll get right to it. Just waking up in the morning gotta thank God I don't know but today seems kinda odd no barking from the dog, no smog and mama cooked the breakfast with no hog I got my grub on but didn't pig out finally got a call from a girl I want to out Hooked it up for later As I hit the door thinking will I live another 24 I gotta go cuz I got me a drop top and if I hit the switch I can make the drop had to stop Added red light Looking in my mirror Not a jacker in sight and everything is alright I got a beep from Kim and she can all night Called up the homies and I'm asking y' all which park are y' all [00:55:50] Speaker B: playing basketball get me on the court [00:55:53] Speaker C: and I'm trouble Last week round and got a triple double Freaking every way like MJ I can't believe today was a good day and the hook commences with a.
