[00:00:38] Speaker B: Omega Sci Fi fraternity Greta the tittle tattle prattled on about the little metal bottle she spat a bit of spittle on the modern brittle cattle in a bitter battle. Hey, hey. Stop questioning my methods, okay? I was chosen for this task for a very good reason. No, chose. [00:00:59] Speaker E: Gangs were invented to, like, disrupt the Black Panther movement and, you know, stop the black liberation cause in its tracks during the 70s. I mean, Raymond Washington, who made the Crips, was literally like a CIA asset. So. And it worked quite well. You know, it's like a kill switch. Especially with the crack epidemic that, you know, turned communities against. [00:01:17] Speaker B: Really sounding like the people that you interview, right? [00:01:19] Speaker E: No, this is real shit. You know what cointelpro is, right? [00:01:21] Speaker B: Yeah, I know what cointelpro is. [00:01:23] Speaker E: I didn't know that. [00:01:24] Speaker B: That gangs came out of COINTELPRO. [00:01:26] Speaker E: Yeah, absolutely. 100%. Yeah. I mean, that was the goal, you know, after they assassinated Fred Hamp, you know. You know, about the Iran Contra affair with crack and, you know, Freeway, Ricky Ross and everything. Yeah, the whole goal was to turn the black community against itself. And then the music industry followed behind pretty closely to promote certain stuff. I listened to that stuff. It's pretty good. I like what they call gangster rap, but, you know, the net societal impacts haven't been too positive. Yeah, it's a whole. It's a whole scheme engineered to destroy whatever populist movements existed in the post Vietnam or mid Vietnam era. [00:02:21] Speaker D: Like that. [00:02:22] Speaker C: Like that.

Listen, first and foremost, real quickly. Just wanted to get some. Some word exercises out. Y' all know you had the. The title tattoo, all of that at the beginning. From Dwight from. With Dwight from. Yeah, I know what I'm talking about. Right? Dwight from the office. Well, I've got a couple that I gotta read just to get right. So pardon me here. The number one. We've got prickly purple peppers, perplexed Peter's particularly precise pepper picker. All right, let's see. Then we got strict street sweepers swiftly swept six slippery striped streets. Next we got three thrilled thrushes thrust through 30 thick thorny thickets. Six sleek Scottish ships swiftly switched slick shipping slips. Sorry, y'. [00:12:51] Speaker C: All. [00:12:51] Speaker B: Y' all bear with me. I appreciate everybody's patience. Brisk brick breakers broke brittle bricks beneath broad bridges. And that one is it. I appreciate y' all patience with that. Anywho, moving right along. Listen real quickly for revisions last week. He's talking about Nottole know the ledge is on the Juice soundtrack, said Big Daddy Kane. Though let's give respect where respect is doing. Shout out to to BDK again. That's Tyrone's cousin Savage. However, Rakim. That was Eric being Rakim. So just wanted to make that, make that clear, you know, you can play this up, yo. You know, I mean, we all have our mess ups and play a. Let's see here. Let's go ahead. I think. Let me see. Oh, I guess it's about that time. [00:14:01] Speaker D: Is that Prince for Kings? [00:14:02] Speaker B: Come here, Prince. What's today's mathematics? [00:14:05] Speaker C: Hey, yo, no disrespect, but we ain't in all of that, son. [00:14:07] Speaker G: 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 add on to the highest peak. To destroy is to eliminate and destroy any and all negativity that enters my cipher of supreme harmony. [00:14:27] Speaker A: Peace, God. [00:14:28] Speaker G: Peace, God. [00:14:29] Speaker B: Come on, son. [00:14:32] Speaker D: Do the knowledge. [00:14:33] Speaker A: I know you gonna dig this. [00:14:37] Speaker D: Come after me. I'm a man. I'm 40. [00:14:40] Speaker B: All right, so let's go ahead and get this started. Let's see here. Oh, again, Cousin Jerome has re entered the chat. Everyone, let's go ahead and missing it, Cousin Jerome. So to recap, let's see here. Starting off the beginning of the week, read. Our greatest glory is not in never failing. Excuse me. Or in never falling, but in rising every time we fall as Confuci. Confucius. Excuse me. Pardon self though we just did the word exercise. But no, excuse me. All right. And then we had our national Coffee Day. A day without coffee is like. Just kidding, I have no idea. Funny rim shots. And then also it says coffee because adulting is hard. All right. And then we got a Thankful Thursday from cousin Jerome. It says, faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out the window which hope has opened. So on behalf of cousin Jerome is Charles Spurgeon. I Now let's go here to Bling Brother Bling. Let's see here. Oh, he said, take time to improve, but don't waste time to prove tough. Let's see here. All right, I want to go to Taz had a couple things as well. As we thought was something today. All right, so there we go. All right, so Taz has. Here, shout out Taz as well. All right, so Taz has. The irony of the human condition is that we are 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. Salute to that as well. Another piece of advice is you are not too old and it is not too late. It's tough. And then the difference between genius and stupid stupidity is that genius has limits. Shout out to brother Taz with that. Shout out to brother Taz, Brother Bling, and cousin Jerome as well. On the words of wisdom and the building wisdom this week. Appreciate y', all. Of course. Let's see here. I did want to, first and foremost, give credit. This kind of goes into revisions, but had to give credit in the past couple weeks with the records. Whenever y' all hear the records being played. And it's kind of a parody record. A couple of those was from Money Bag Mafia. My man on. On IG Salute. Love to him. Now the other brother, I have to find his name and I'll follow up, switch out with him. That was the brother with the girl. I already ate. Already, so I gotta find his name as well. But salute to those brothers. Definitely. But again, man, welcome to the show. Appreciate y'. All. I had a couple things to go over and discuss, but I wanted to get my cousin. We're going to get my cousin on the line in a little bit, speak with him out there in Chicago, but I guess, you know, we can catch up on some things, I guess. I suppose. It was all a stream. It was all the stream. So I don't know the annotated version of this or the short version of this, literally, like. But Reggie from the Clover Boys. The Clover Boys being a group that Castanet, you know, has spawned off of his, you know, own little multiverse. And Reggie has come out and went to Alaska. He's taken shrooms, and he started to reveal some of his truths with regards to the industry of streaming and stuff like that. Yeah, it gets. It gets kind of dark. But prayers to the brother Reggie, and prayers to Castanet. All of the brothers that's involved with this and those that are familiar with the situation are familiar, but Reggie's pretty much accusing Kai of grooming and of being like, a pedophile, things like that. So the. The one thing regarding it is they have this young guy that runs with them that's still under 18. His name is Rakai, and he's exposed to all of the things that the older streamers are exposed to now. Mind you, when. When streaming first started to really expand and get larger part in the left. But I would always think to myself, when they would do things like have Snoop Dogg on and Kaisanat was getting high or everybody's getting high on the stream or have somebody on and they started to drink because they're. They're becoming of age, those Young men. I always would think about it and look at it kind of sideways, but, you know, here we are and the streaming has probably reached what, maybe about 5 years old or something like that as far as, to the level that it's been in the scale that's been. So a lot of these young men are really growing up before our eyes, of course, and it just serendipitous to the Truman show episode that we've had and the movie itself, the Truman Show. So, you know, I, I, my empathy goes out there to those brothers and what they're going through. But I know, you know, again, they may not be aware of what they signed up for fully whenever they signed up for it, because it doesn't appear that they're able, they're equipped to handle, you know, the levels of, of fame and, and I guess what's, what's demanded of them 24 7. So it's not, you know, a little literal contract in front of them with them signing their rights over or their life over, but you know, in different ways there the freedoms and their liberties are being taken or taken advantage of. So, yeah, definitely empathy for those young brothers and then also the trauma that they go through. Yeah. So, yeah, so we can kind of pause on that in both ways. We'll pause on that. So, yes, quick reset. But I do want to play this audio clip that I received from Reb Salute to Reb Shout Out. Shout out to you. So I. But I do want to play this audio clip that she sent me that just goes in concert with the conversation that we're having currently with regards to online personalities and their idea of content. Let's see here. [00:22:26] Speaker H: Toxic masculinity is not always a bad thing. It's not a good thing, but it's not always a bad thing. I grew up around a lot of men in my life, and from that you get a lot of toxic traits. One of those things for me is that I don't play gay games. Come on, man, take that as you will. I know it's not right, but because I do that if somebody were to go on the Internet and say, hey, Zay, you're gay, there wouldn't be two hours worth of clips, 120 minutes worth of B roll that I would have to explain. [00:22:57] Speaker B: Come on, man, that's not it. I was just playing around. He liked when I licked his. [00:23:02] Speaker H: No, I don't do that. These young kids are having a gay off, and in the midst of them trying to defend themselves, they're getting hit with four Hours, enough clips to film the Godfather. Two of them. Do a weird gay thing. Does that automatically make you gay? No, the only thing that makes you gay is the thing that makes you gay. Which is fine. However, if you're trying to defend yourself from gay accusations, explaining why you kissing a man neck. [00:23:32] Speaker B: Hey, you don't call in the left [00:23:33] Speaker H: champ as a joke. It does. It doesn't make it. You know what I'm saying? It's not. It's not helpful for your case. That's all I'm trying to say. [00:23:47] Speaker B: All right? So salute to that brother. I don't know his name. Salute to that creator or whatnot. Because he hit the nail on the head. I mean, first and foremost, I just, again, I don't know if it's born in 1986 thing, you know, I don't know what it is, but I never subscribe or play those type of things, those games. Now, mind you, it to all of my players, to all of my people that were athletes in high school, before we got to the college level of, you know, athletics and stuff, we. If you were in that football locker room at certain high schools or in a basketball locker room, depending on the high school, if it was a mixed or white high school, there was probably a lot of gay coded jokes. Just be honest, y', all, right? It's probably a lot of gay coded jokes and stuff. I never subscribed to that. All right? Now, I will clown my friends for adopting LGBTQIA colloquialisms and sayings, but never have I really played that role for, like, entertainment or to make someone laugh again. It's not. It's not funny to me. So I don't know. So nevertheless, though, first and foremost, the guy, like I said, was spot on. There's nothing to play about with that stuff because then you have a bunch of stuff to explain or answer for as far as, you know, with your digital footprint. But secondly, I think this is more importantly, I think about the people that are gay. All right, just for a second. Just for a quick second. Is it not like a form of mocking them or how do I describe it? I don't know, like, just weak parodies or like corny parodies or unfunny parodies or satire. Is it, Is it not that whenever people are acting gay? Because I know how it feels as a black man when people that are not black men try to act like what they feel like a black man acts like. And I think the same holds true for black women when these white boys or when men that be throwing on these fake wigs or T shirts as hair, portray themselves, quote unquote, as black women and think that they're doing the mannerisms and. And the, you know, the hand motions and stuff of a black woman. So I. I feel the same way with that as well. But, yeah, I think. Ultimately, like, gay people, wouldn't. They. They don't deserve that. They don't deserve to be made a mockery of, if you will, and stuff like that. And that's goes back to my original point that none of this is actually funny or entertaining. To me, there's nothing. There's nothing nowhere where I see a world where any of this stuff, you know what I'm saying, makes you laugh to imitate or find yourself, like, emulating or trying to portray an archetype of a homosexual person or whatever like that for laughs or clicks or giggles or anything. If you're not truly that. So, yeah, for all of the people that is out there and portraying or cosplaying as gay, we sick and tired of that. [00:27:39] Speaker C: Am I correct? [00:27:41] Speaker B: We sick and tired of that show love. [00:27:44] Speaker I: It don't show nothing. It don't cost nothing to show a. [00:27:49] Speaker B: Like showing love to the. To the LGBTQIA plus community. But in. In that regard, because, again, there's no place for it. It's just not. It's not funny to be made fun of. We know that as black people. And so, yeah, I put myself in the shoes of somebody that. That truly lives unapologetically and is themselves and is gay. And it's like, what is wrong with that? [00:28:15] Speaker C: You know? [00:28:15] Speaker B: And the whole time, by default, we're saying that something's wrong with it if we're making fun of it or if. When somebody gets called out, I. Erakai or Reggie or Talil, if they get called out on it, and then they're so quick to defend themselves, say, no, no, no, hell no, I ain't gay. [00:28:34] Speaker E: Nah. [00:28:34] Speaker B: I ain't with none of that. [00:28:35] Speaker D: Gay. [00:28:35] Speaker B: Nah, nah, I'm not gay. I'm straight. [00:28:38] Speaker C: I love women. [00:28:39] Speaker B: I love women. All right, bro. But the months and months of sus activity leading up, too, says otherwise. So that's all. That's all brothers, y'. All. Y' all get it together. All right? It's gotta move forward, though. Yeah. Definitely got one person. [00:29:00] Speaker C: Am I correct? [00:29:01] Speaker B: Yeah, we sick and tired of that. [00:29:04] Speaker D: Let me work. [00:29:05] Speaker A: Good. [00:29:06] Speaker D: Please let me work. [00:29:08] Speaker B: What's boy name? [00:29:09] Speaker D: Please let me work. [00:29:11] Speaker B: The fake Terry Da Vinci. Bring your ass, man. I don't even want to give you Light Brother. Because nowadays. It seems as if. Hold on, let's see here. All right, so I want to play these clips from actor Da Vinci. If you're not familiar with who that is, he was Terry again on bmf, play Big Meech's brother. And I think I believe I recall seeing him in All American as well. He came on later as the kind of like the nemesis to Spencer or whatnot, like his living fake brother, you know, whatever, but star receiver or whatnot. But I want to go ahead and play this clip. It's getting exhausting. I mean, ultimately, the rage, baiting and stuff like that that they're doing is simply using black American or the name of black Americans to get some traction or to say something that sounds smart to dumb people. But I mean. I mean, I can't even give. I gotta give dumb people more respect than that because some of this stuff sounds dumb to dumb people. But let me go ahead and play this real quick, this clip for y', all, right? [00:30:32] Speaker C: What America. [00:30:33] Speaker F: The country is like, I want to be America. We got the best football, best basketball. Like, I had, like, work ethic. I was determined. Like, I started. I could take care of myself, like, fully at, like 8 years old. But in America, no shade to you guys. The way the culture have, like, moved majority of its citizens, it's like you're just incompetent for a really long time. [00:30:53] Speaker B: Do you think that that's example of smart country thing, Personal thing? [00:31:00] Speaker F: I think that's. I think this country promotes that. I think. I think because this country. This country promote. I don't think it promote like, [00:31:10] Speaker B: like, [00:31:10] Speaker F: us, like, really, like, being able to think critically and being like, hard workers, being able to think outside the box. [00:31:16] Speaker C: Right? [00:31:16] Speaker F: And usually people. I mean, don't. Don't get me wrong, other countries, they have their things too, but I just think, like, we're just more ba. Like, when you're in America, you have such a lack of exposure on what's happening outside of the world, because you don't got to care about any other country, but every other country is like, I want to be America. Like, I had, like, the country's like, I want to be America. We got the best football, best basketball, best rappers, best actors, best. So it's just like they're like, yo, keeping up with us. But it's like, you don't need to keep. What you going to keep up with the xfl. [00:31:40] Speaker B: Can I disagree? [00:31:42] Speaker F: You think? Oh, my goodness, please do. [00:31:44] Speaker C: But. [00:31:44] Speaker F: But I would say, but that's why [00:31:47] Speaker B: that's why he's naming. I do think to me, probably just [00:31:50] Speaker F: like, you know what, we want an overseas actor because they're probably going to be more focused, they're probably going to be less worried about being a celebrity or influencer and probably just locking in on the work. [00:32:00] Speaker B: I don't think American teaches laziness. [00:32:02] Speaker C: I think America's premise is off efficiency. [00:32:06] Speaker B: That is oftentimes. And then like, quite frankly, I don't want to hear from Karen. I just wanted y' all to hear that clip from Da Vinci. I want to play this from one of his fellow Haitian countrywoman that felt offended by it. So let me play this sister real quick. [00:32:24] Speaker I: Let's see laziness with people who work 400 years and their labor was free. It really, really pissed me off. So for one, I want to start by apologizing to the two foundational black Americans at this table. Read Danielle, I am sorry. I'm disgusted by the comments that Da Vinci made to all the foundational black Americans out there. To all of the black Americans, period. I am sorry over and over again because this is disgusting. The rhetoric behind what Da Vinci said Abraham said is not only disgusting and divisive, baseless and careless and distasteful, it is dangerous in the socio political temperature and climate that we're living in. To even associate black Americans with the term lazy is not only doing a disservice to black Americans, but doing a disservice to any immigrant in this country because black Americans built this country. How do you associate laziness with people who work 400 years and their labor was free? Who built this country brick by brick? Whose ancestors still till this day have not recouped reparations for anything? Whose inventions allow us to be at this table? Who inventions allows white America to be able to ease into their own inventions because of the inventions of black Americans? I will never deduce black Americans too lazy. I am Haitian American. I did raise myself at 8 years old. But that is because our parents lacked. So they have to push us past our own abilities at the very tender age of eight because we had to. So I'm not going to compare that to black Americans who work hard. [00:34:07] Speaker B: Simply it's not comparable for us to [00:34:10] Speaker I: be here, who went to war for us and came back home and still to a country that did not accept them, who still had to deal with discrimination, with Jim Crow, who still had to fight, protest, boycott all the hard work they put into this country. And you sit and you call them lazy. I'm heard Because Haitian Americans were here. Americans. And I will never forget that. And I'm not gonna let you let us forget that. Haiti go through so much to be recognized, to be seen, to be heard. And you going to cause this war again in the diaspora, when we're trying to piece each other together. Every day we go through this at this table of people calling us tethers. How dare us do the same thing back to our people into woven into white supremacy? Because we want to be a Adjacent to it. He talks about interracial black woman. This is disrespectful to all of us, and I'm not standing for it. It's not cool. And I suggest anybody who wants alignment to Da Vinci, Abraham, whatever it is, that you take and look at his character, because I'm disgusting. That is a dangerous rhetoric. [00:35:17] Speaker B: I certainly agree. Everything that she said, essentially saying how dangerous that rhetoric is. Now, I also wanted to paint this picture out there to y' all as well. When we talking about culture of any kind. And. And are we bereft of culture as black Americans and all of that stuff. Look, look, look. Sometimes I don't know how to best explain. I was talking to Reb about it the other day, but our culture is in the. Is so embedded and permeates the DNA of everything that we do in this world that it's easy for somebody to not be able to see our culture. I think I put it to Reb this way the other day. Like a fish cannot properly fathom the idea of water. Come on, man. Y' all see where I'm going with this? I'm just saying, like, every day we take air for granted. Correct? So the things that we've contributed from our specific culture just to make American culture, or just culture in general, and contribute it to everyone, to society, that is air to a human or water to a fish. All right? So if those analogies make sense to you, I hope they do. And if y' all think that I'm lying, just give me one second. Hold on real quick. Hold on real quick. Yeah. All right, so let's go ahead and play this real quick. Let's play this. Just a little TT of this. I'm sure you're probably seeing this viral video. I wanna care. Where is your the up? All right, somebody show Da Vinci this video real quick. [00:37:30] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:37:30] Speaker B: The voices that y' all are currently hearing, they're not black. Okay, this is a Japanese. Okay. Yeah, Again, Japanese. Okay. Japanese R B. Inspired by what? Come on, y'. All. Come on. There's break Dancing currently in the Olympics. Let's just do the. The history on break dancing, all right? And then I could tell y' all I could keep going, but you got break dancing. Let's look at the history of cowboys, all right? And then just work out there, you know, as far as. Again, again, like, horses and cowboys and stuff like that. Let's look at that. All right? You talk about the whole industry of rice, all right? Some people gonna trace that back to Africa, West Africa, and all of that stuff. I'm giving it to black folks. Okay. We're not going to talk about all the Southern cuisine that's really soul food, because, you know, we had to figure out some creative ways to. To do something with scraps that y' all gave us. So, again, every. Let's. Let's just. I'm starting to. It's dangerous to do, but I'm starting to just go deaf to a lot of things that I hear out there. Whenever it comes to people saying, like, you know, black Americans don't have any kind of culture or anything like that, and we're the most imitated around the world. The black culture that you say that we're bereft of is the barometer of cool for everyone else. So let me work. [00:39:24] Speaker D: Please, let me work. [00:39:27] Speaker B: Just saying there's. There's plenty more. And I think what I'll do, though, is we're gonna make that ongoing kind of segment where anything that I see that's black inspired or inspired by black culture, we're gonna go ahead and highlight that. And so we got to continue to highlight that, because, again, these people would do some revisionist things, maybe to look better in front of Mr. Charlie or the white man, but they'll say these outrageous things to sound like the contrarian or to sound like the smartest person in the room and end up selling like. Like a fool. So just wanted to. To say that. [00:40:06] Speaker H: Yeah. [00:40:07] Speaker B: All right. Salute. Salute to that sister, definitely for. For speaking up. That Haitian sister for speaking up. All right, let's move forward. All right, so I have this clip I want to play from brother Dewan B. To kind of close out this da Vinci switch situation. [00:40:29] Speaker A: Oh. [00:40:30] Speaker B: To close this out. So let's go ahead and go to brother Duan B. [00:40:34] Speaker A: Is so big in black America. It's not just him. It's just. It's the years of blatant disrespect. All of us have heard since forever. We are told, don't. Don't go around black Americans. Don't date black Americans. We get this from the Asian community. We get this from the Latin community. We get this from, unfortunately, the black diaspora people from the Caribbean and Africa. And we. We hear all the slide comments. Black Americans don't have education. Education. You have no education. You hear that stuff? We hear that we're lazy. For the most part, we blow it off because at the end of the day, y' all opinions really don't matter. We don't really care. But after a while, this is like, hold up, hold up. Just stop it. And a lot of us are just. Who've been trying to play cool, who've been just like, you know what? We let this play out. [00:41:21] Speaker F: A lot of. [00:41:21] Speaker A: We're just tired. We're at home. We ain't going nowhere and bothering nobody. We know we here, home. We look in government. And you have people from the Caribbean like Winsome Sears over in Virginia saying black Americans don't need reparation. Same thing with Westmore and Maryland. You get these people in our politics telling the government what we don't need. And they're not even from here. You get people coming over saying, oh, hip hop is Jamaican or hip hop is Latin. Jazz is French Creole. We create things that. That, like, y' all really crappy on when we create it. And then it would become something great 20, 30 years later. You want to act like it's yours. Dress like us, walk like us, talk like us. Let me tell you something. Black Americans just want to be cool, man. We just trying to get what we can get on what we can all maintain, what we can maintain. And followed by the number one black creed. Mind your black ass business. Black Americans have two. Have two major creeds. Creed number one is find your own black ass business Business. And number two is don't start none, won't be none. And brother man broke the creed. Oh, y', all, y'. All, if y' all just shut up, we'd all be good. [00:42:26] Speaker C: Like, ooh. [00:42:26] Speaker A: So it's good to see that number responding. And I. And I encourage it because you can't be anyone's doormat. You gotta step up and speak up for yourself. And me personally use these opportunities this time to educate. And so instead of going in on the vinyl, instead of going in on the conditions of Haiti, they use these times to remind us that black Americans inventions. We created the gas mask, the stoplight elevators for. For the elevator doors. We're the ones that created paramedics that started in Pittsburgh. 60s. We're the ones that created. It's more than just the music. You know, we're the ones that design Washington D.C. we're the ones that perfected the plot. You know what I mean? So all right, y' all can say what y' all want to say, but every time people have something shady to say about black Americans, I'mma use that as an opportunity to educate you on our greatness. Let's keep. [00:43:20] Speaker B: Salute. Salute to brother. Salute to brother Duan B. Of course, man. Always coming with the knowledge and a big you to to the brother Dejan Paul out there on the west coast trying to desecrate Ice Cubes legacy and things like that. I've seen Duan B kind of coming to Ice Cube's defense with that. However, what he said was absolutely on point. And the point that kind of drives home for me the most is we were minding our own business. It's never a conversation that we initiate or start with regards to us, whether it come from some, some people from the black diaspora or from other cultures, you know, white people, Asian, Spanish people, whatever. We're always the topic of conversation. It's. It reminds me of a TI song, My Life is My Life share entertainment or whatnot. But yeah, we always become the fodder of someone trying to go viral, someone trying to get clicks or someone trying to start a conversation. And yeah, I agree with Duan B. It's time that that stats man. So I want to move forward forward this week and I out for Lunch segment. First and foremost, I did want to plug our engagement. So get into the cafeteria. If you want to email the show, email the show. Mandatory ot704gmail.com Mandatory ot704gmail.com Or you can give us a call at 7047-8170-1170-4781-7011. Of course, if you have my number on the side, it's always an option to drop an audio note to me personally. But yeah, definitely meant again, email is mandatory ot704gmail.com and so the reason that I'm stressing that and emphasizing that is yeah, in this week's out for Lunch segment, I wanted to discuss some snacks or foods that may have some crack in them just because some of these things too damn good out here. So I wanted to discuss with us some joints, some snacks that may have a little bit of crack in it. Fast food and things like hot food and stuff like that, that counts as well. So I do want y' all to write in and contribute to that, but I'm gonna start off with and this is recency bias. I've recently had it shout out to R B. But dots dots pretzel twist. Especially the cinnamon sugar. But I've had the different flavors of it. Oh no, they got something. Some kind of. Some kind of narcotic is in there. It's just too addicted active. I want to of course shout out to Indiana's very own albanese gummies. We already know something. Knows it's definitely something nose. Now also these bags of animal crackers. Not iced and not in a regular red with the blue striped bag bag or a good old regular bag of animal crackers. They definitely got it. I'm gonna stop this list with one last one. I'm outshine ices. Government psyop or something, y'. [00:47:13] Speaker E: All. [00:47:14] Speaker B: There's. There's definitely a narcotic in that. If anybody's ever had that. Okay, now they got the two tie. They got two types. All right. Hey, you don't caught in the left champ at the single barrel. Hey, you don't caught in the left chance. Then they got the double battle. Now them ICS have crack in it. All right, if you, if you're too self righteous and you're around homeboys and you got one of those, especially a single barrel, you don't caught in the left champ just break that off and you know what I mean? You just gotta. Just gotta wash your hands afterwards or something like that. But just hey, you don't caught in the left chance. You can't get caught with the single barrel outside. Hey, you don't caught in the left champ. All right, so wanted to go ahead and move forward. I suppose we can do the knowledge. What up, Fredro? Quick sports update. I guess we could say. Let's go ahead and talk sports a little bit. Fantasy team. So that one, that's two and one and then I think one in the lead. I'm one and two in. But I didn't want to talk about that just yet. The Yankees we currently down in the series in the ALDS to Tampa Bay. They lead in the series right now two to nothing. The Dodgers lead this series with the Braves 2 to 1. The guardians are down to Chicago to White Sox and to nothing. And the brewers lead the series against the Padres 2 to 1. So that's a little bit of MLB playoffs. But I did want to discuss real quick, Like as much as it's football season and Roger Goodell and them is trying to keep the NFL in the headlines, the NBA is already, NBA is already back around. So I wanted to discuss The Knicks game. So the Knicks, we played in a preseason game against Philly at Philly. Philly won 120 to 97 and good showing for a lot of our players. OG led the team in points with 12, six or six from the free throw line. Jalen Brown led the Sixers with 22 points. You know how losing to the neck, the Knicks feels like death for him. So shout out to Tyler Colic too. No turnovers, five assists. James Wiseman, he showed out for us [00:50:03] Speaker E: a little bit, [00:50:06] Speaker B: but yeah, so that, that was our first preseason game to talk though more or less about big Cat. Carl Anthony Towns. Oh my God. Salute to Carl Anthony Towns. First of all, one of my favorite players from the finals run in our championship run. Let's see here. I'm gonna go. This is from ESPN NBA Insiders reports Carl Anthony Towns has repeatedly stated his goal is a new deal to remain with the knicks. Since the NBA Finals concluded in June, Towns has been eligible for one a four year 276 million dollar contract extension that would keep him with the defending champs through the 2030, 2031 season. However, as sources told ESPN Shams, the Knicks latest offer to Towns was a four year deal that's worth approximately 200 million. So a max contract for the 30 year old All Star center would introduce major second apron concerns. A space that Nick's owner, of course James Dolan has shown no interest in occupying Town. So them for his part says he's willing to meet somewhere in the middle. I want to do something that can keep the team together and work with the Knicks and also values me, town said Monday. None of those things have come close to happening. Wait, I'm sorry. None of those things have come close to happening. ESPN NBA Insiders I'm sorry. Will the Knicks enter opening night without getting a deal done? How hard should Towns push in negotiations? What options would be available next summer? Let's see here. So yeah, then they had. Yeah. The rest of the article is kind of breaking down everything with the Knicks with regards to going into the second apron and the players that we currently have under contract and things like that. My thoughts on it is he was an integral piece to us getting to the championship and important piece to to building up the identity of the Knicks. So brotherly love and salute to my brother Carl Anthony Towns. I hope that you get your money brother. Pay that man. But we see what happened with Mitchell Robinson and again we heard James dawn at the beginning of the summer. As far as not going into the second apron, I'm not sure this is the unfortunate part of it is this is going to show us how much they value or don't value a cat. So, unfortunately, go ahead and move forward, though. I wanted to. I guess it's no time like the present, but I did want to recognize. One second, man. One second. All right. So again, I wanted to acknowledge, [00:53:12] Speaker F: First [00:53:12] Speaker B: of all, this is episode our 5200 that we're doing 52. So it's 52 hours of overtime, social, experimenting, consistency. You could have been anywhere in the world, but you're here listening to me. And again, I really appreciate y'. All. It's our anniversary, you heard? October 8, 2025, y'. All. It's when we started this journey. I'd like to say I appreciate every single one of y'. All, of course, brotherly, sisterly, motherly and fatherly love to everybody out there. Everybody's allowed me to be me. Unique in itself and still have come on for the ride. I hope that y' all have understood my perspective on things and have taken that. Everything that I've said thus far, whether it's jokingly or offensive, taking it all in love. Because that's the root of this thing, is God's love. At the end of the day, that's what we're trying to spread, you know what I mean? And recalibrate again our. Our definition. Definition of what manhood is. Let's recalculate some things that we have come up, Some of the norms that we have come up knowing as manhood, and let's go ahead and challenge some of those. Have those tough discussions here amongst us in the community. You know, shout out to fat boy with the suggestion on the soundtrack for this. But I had to, again, recognize one year strong, y'. All. Now, the goal is for us to get to episode 156, okay? That. Because that if we're on track, that'll mark three years in the game. And, I mean, we'll have a little footprint out there, larger community. But right now, what's important is that y' all are here with me, y', all, on the journey. Journey at the beginning of this thing, you heard? So, again, I appreciate every single one of y'. All. We're about to get to Brotherly Love in a minute, but, yeah, okay, I gotta do a special brotherly love first. All right, hold on. Give me one second. All right, so we definitely have to show. Pay respects and show brotherly love to. So I gotta. I gotta show brotherly love in the middle of us recording because this. This episode took kind of a while to record. We did lose an icon. We lost a legend. R B singer Freddie Jackson has passed away and transitioned at the age of 70. So we did want to pay respects. My mother's birthday, October 2nd, 1940. 57. And yeah, he's. Well, excuse me. So he's 69. However, this is on behalf of brother Duan B, he tweeted this. But Freddie Jackson was in error. He's a major part of 80s black culture. Growing up in South Central LA, his music was everywhere. At family reunions, while we were running up and down the block playing freeze tag and why the grown folks playing taunt and dominoes. With his music playing in the house, the most gangster rocking Jheri curls and croquet sacks bumped Freddie Jackson. So again, I put this up a couple times on the show back in the day. This was drilling. They wasn't drilling to no kind of hip hop. I'm saying they might have just caught a sale, record a body perhaps, but then has some Freddie Jackson blasting, you heard? Yeah. So we gonna just pay our respects, though, respectfully, like, because I ain't. Yeah, I was again, those was jokes, but I wanted to pay my respects to brother Freddy, you know what I'm saying? So we'll go ahead and [00:57:34] Speaker D: in your [00:57:34] Speaker C: life, You and me. [00:57:55] Speaker I: You look so fun. [00:57:58] Speaker D: You blow my mind all over again. [00:58:05] Speaker B: Definitely a go to whenever I'm DJing my weddings and stuff. Y' all know this is all black love music right here, you heard? So salute again to the legend. Gotta pay our respects. See, man, a lot of y' all don't understand what was going on in the 80s and 90s. We couldn't listen. Our parents wasn't letting us just put on that hip hop station like that. [00:58:34] Speaker C: Nah, [00:58:45] Speaker B: Like that, like that. Gonna do this one for Freddie Jackson, y'. All. [00:59:00] Speaker F: Ah, [00:59:03] Speaker B: you want to karaoke this one or what we gonna do here? Tell me why you came here. Was it to sit and stare? Won't you come go with me to take out some time? Come on, Freddie, Let's get on down right now. Let's get on down. No chew on a jam tonight. The writing was so ambiguous. Jam tonight could mean anything. We just jamming tonight. Let's all put on some music. We gonna jam. Shout out, man.
