Let's see here. We're going to start off here. Cousin Jerome sends some Tuesday. Truth says good judgment comes from experience. And a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
Change.
I like that.
Hold on.
I like that, though.
I'll read that again. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that. Experience. Experience or a lot of that?
Speaking of experience, a lot of that comes from bad judgment. So I'm being. That's from Will Rogers on behalf of Cousin Jerome. And we got. For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness.
I see what you did there, brother.
And then we have.
A book doesn't lose its story because somebody skipped a chapter. Chapter.
All right, again. A book doesn't lose its story because somebody skipped a chapter.
The reflection for that is being overlooked doesn't diminish your worth. What God wrote into your life remains valuable, whether everyone recognizes it or not.
Shout out.
All right. And then I got a couple from the.
I think it's from Taz.
Let's see. Bling sent some stuff, but Taz saying one here. You are not a victim. No matter what you have been through, you're still here. You may have been challenged, hurt, betrayed, beaten and discouraged, but nothing has defeated you. You are still here. Here, you have been delayed, but not denied. You are not a victim. You are a victor.
You have a history of victory.
That was tough.
Super tough.
My cousin Jerome, you deserve a round of applause for all your wisdom. You already know, it goes without saying, but. Nah, that's. That's super tough there, Taz. Appreciate you for that one.
Let's see here.
[00:23:55] Speaker C: Here.
[00:23:57] Speaker A: Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching.
It's true indeed.
Happiness blooms from within where seeds of joy and love are planted.
So true.
So true. All right. Thank you for that, brother Taz.
Let me see here.
This is from Brother Taz. This is an African proverb word.
It reads, a river that welcomes every stream eventually forgets its own direction.
Meaning when you accept everyone and help everyone, you may lose sight of your own purpose, values, or direction in life. Be kind and generous, but do not forget who you are and what you're meant to do.
It's tough, man. That's tough.
Taz be having the heat. Cousin Jerome be having the heat, too. We're not about to make this no competition. But. But appreciate you. Appreciate you, Brother Taz, Brother Bling, my cousin Jerome, everybody else that contributes to the Building Wisdom segment each week, you know, I appreciate y'.

I'll Let it out. It's self explanatory, but I'll go ahead and play this video real quick.
[00:26:11] Speaker E: Quick.
[00:26:12] Speaker A: From Brother T.L. quill. Show you shall receive.
[00:26:16] Speaker G: The question was, what was the precursor to hip hop? There's no quick answer, but the best answer is a number of things. But let's start with the rapping. There were countless observances of rapping way back. A lot of occurrences. And right now we're going to deal with 1928, because at that time, it was not called rapping. There were many names for this. One of my favorites is patter patter. Later it was called jazz pattern, which in essence is rapping. Make no mistake about it. I'll prove it. Let's go back to the Harlem Renaissance period, shall we? The jazz age, the roaring twenties. I want you all to listen to this 1928 recording by a band called the Memphis Jug Band. Catchy name, I know, but they were carrying on the tradition of rhythmic speaking, or jazz pattern. There was another name that was used back then, but I'm not going to get into that on this episode. I need a lot of time for that one. But make no mistake about it, they were rapping. To be sure they had bars in 1920.
[00:27:06] Speaker H: Check it now if you want to get to heaven. I tell you what to do. You put on a sock and put in the shoe. You place a bottle of coin in your right hand that'll pass you right over in the promised land. And if you meet the devil he asks you how you do I'm on my way to heaven don't you want to go too? Know there's a place I do just as well they call whitewash station 10 miles from here.
[00:27:31] Speaker G: Watch what happens when you simply add a hip hop.
[00:27:38] Speaker H: Put on a sock, stop moving your shoes clear the bottom form on your right hand gotta take it right over in the promised land. And if you meet the devil, he ask you how you do. I'm on my way to heaven, no doubt. Please, please do just as well.
Whitewash Station, 10 miles from here.
[00:27:59] Speaker G: Who needs AI when they were actually rapping in 1928? Like, rapping for real. But let me not get ahead of myself. I was not. All right, y', all. I'm done. Or am I?
[00:28:11] Speaker A: Salute. Salute to Brother T.L. cross man again. Always appreciate you for your wisdom, brother, and everything that you contribute to the culture. None of his videos are a waste of your time at all. None of them. So shout out, shout out.
Let's go ahead and move forward here, okay? As Far as my alpha lunch this week, week first and foremost, I did just prepare some pino beans, some, some, some white rice, pinot beans and arib fixed up the cornbread. So salute to that. Salute to that. But also on some out for lunch vibes, went to Lindenwood Diner up there in East New York, Brooklyn was Hannah is Brooklyn in the house without a doubt of the rapper with clout everybody rap about.
But we was in east New York with it went to a Lindenwood diner. My sister along with that though. While we were up there, my sister did catch one of the delis, little corner little bodega and caught her a nice hero sandwich as we call it in New York.
But we did eat at the diner. That was smooth. That was, that was cool. Trying to think what else I had. It was, you know, I did my typical wild wise stop on the road.
But yeah, salute to that. Now was going to switch it up as far as with the out for lunch segment this week and read. Actually this is something that I saw found interesting.
It actually shows us the.
Let me see.
It's gonna show us different stadium foods from around the country with different sports stadiums. So y' all stick with me on this one. But this is for. This is officially our out to lunch, our out for lunch segment. Try to go through this fast. So just make sure you listen. Panic, attention.
Okay.
Okay, so starting off with the churro dog from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Chase Field.
Let's see here.
Yeah, it says Chase Field Tr. Do they put a TR Inside of a chocolate glazed.
Hold on, y'.
[00:30:41] Speaker E: All.
[00:30:43] Speaker A: They put a churro inside of a chocolate glazed. These look like bun or something.
Oh, man. Long John Donut.
And then they covered it with frozen yogurt and toppings. Arizona has kept evolving, yet Chase Field still has an entire churro dog headquarters, including an Oro Oreo version. Okay or yeah, yeah. Okay.
That's. No, that's number 10, though. Polar pasta from the Colorado Rockies. So it looks like pasta and meatballs and tomato sauce is actually vanilla ice cream noodles, quote unquote donut hole meatballs and strawberry quote unquote tomato sauce is served at Coors Field.
Polar pasta a dessert.
Spaghetti and meatballs. All right. Then Uncrustable crunch lunch from the Kansas city chiefs.
Arrowhead 2025 creation started with a griddled strawberry uncrustable, then added fried chicken bites and sour apple slaw.
Okay.
It says it was partly inspired by NFL's players obsession with uncrustables. I'm not a fan of uncrustables though. Miss me with that.
All right, so this one was one of the strangest. I. I must admit. Number seven is chapolines from Seattle Mariners T. Mobile park began selling toasted grasshoppers seasoned with chile lime salt in 2017. Mariners initially ordered roughly 20 pounds, expecting that to last until the all star break. They sold out on opening day.
Okay, number six is the jackalope Max stack from the Denver Broncos Empower field. They sold a sausage made from smoked antelope, rabbit and pork and then topped it with green chili, Mac and cheese, flamin, hot Cheetos, dust blue corn tortillas and green onions.
That sounds like a bathroom trip tip.
Okay, then we got the Fielders catch from the Atlanta Braves. This looks kind of good, though. I can't lie. All right, truest parks Fielders catch included two lobster tails, three fried oysters, sweet potato fries, candied bacon lettuce, tomatoes and a spicy peach ramalade all stuffed in one split top bun.
Some big back activity right there.
All right, number four, the pizza burger from the Dallas Cowboys AT T stadium took a 1 pound beef patty and put it in between two pepperoni pizzas, then added marinara cheese, lettuce and tomatoes.
All right, then number three, the boomstick burrito from the Texas Rangers. The Rangers have spent years creating the enormous boomstick food foods. For 2025, they introduced a 26 inch burrito filled with rice, beans, taco meat, nacho cheese, pico lettuce and sour cream. That's 2ft, 2 inches of burrito.
Hey, you don't call in the left, champ.
[00:34:15] Speaker C: Use a freaky ass that goes to
[00:34:18] Speaker A: all of the Texas ranges out there.
Freaky.
And again, bathroom break breaks. Okay, number two, the taste of the K taco. The Kansas City Royals starts with a hot dog. Then they wrap that hot dog inside of a cheeseburger quesadilla. Then they put that on, then put on the cheeseburger quesadilla, barbecue brisket, french fries, lettuce, onions and spicy cracker Jack and call the entire thing a taco.
Again, it sounds like a bathroom break break. Number one here is.
Oh, man. So I could say to this, but the number one is cotton candy burrito from the Arizona Cardinals. Yes, this is a burrito, except the tortilla is cotton candy, inside is cotton candy ice cream.
So inside is cotton candy ice cream mixed with things like fruity Pebbles, Froot Loops, skin Skittles, Mini M M's, gummy bears, marshmallows and sprinkles.
Come on, y'. All.
That's one that I won't be having. All right.
But nevertheless, we say all of that to say the baby could never get it. Yeah, the baby.
[00:35:41] Speaker B: It's a callback.
[00:35:42] Speaker A: But anyways.
Yeah. So salute. Salute to Alpha lunch. All of those exotic stadium foods I got, I guess. But, yeah. Nah, I'm cool. I'm cool on that.
I am cool on that. As we move forward, I do want to move forward by reaching back and remembering a couple things because it was some serendipity that's been going on.
All right, first and foremost, let's go ahead and give some credit to Fat Boy.
I talked to him on the side about a week ago or so. Shout out to Fat Boy. If y' all recall, Fat Boy wrote in and he mentioned the NFL and Kaepernick, you know, protesting and that we've come kind of far away. It seemed like it was just yesterday when we were protesting and all of that.
And then as soon as we dropped the episode, y', all, Kaepernick, he's all through the press.
It's all in a press run. And he's kind of giving his side of the story with things.
[00:36:41] Speaker G: Things.
[00:36:42] Speaker A: And it doesn't put your boy. It doesn't put yours truly in the favorable light. Me nor my company, ROC Nation.
Where'd you come from, Jay?
But I say all of that to say again, serendipity, man. It was on Fat Boy's heart to speak that in the email. And then look what happens. Y' all look what's going on. Right? So let's just not overestimate the power of words and the power of our. Our words. In other words, the power of the tongue, if you will. Pause, partner left. But yeah, so I did want to bring that up, acknowledge.
The Jay Z, Kaepernick thing, to be frank, is a lot of. It's not a lot of layers to it. It's just a lot of.
It sounds like a lot of Jay Z doing some, you know, you know, tycoon, capitalist type things, in other words. All right. Right.
There's no surprise. We know who we dealing with, y'. All, okay?
Not a businessman. I'm a business man. Let me handle my business. Damn.
I know y' all know exactly what we dealing with.
Let's see here.
So I do want to move forward to some other serendipity. You know what I'm saying?
Y' all remember a couple weeks ago, boy. Y' all remember a couple weeks ago.
[00:38:10] Speaker G: Am I correct?
[00:38:12] Speaker B: We sick and tired of that.
[00:38:13] Speaker A: Am I correct?
[00:38:15] Speaker B: We sick and Tired of that.
[00:38:17] Speaker A: Y' all remember we had to do a couple of those. Emmanuel Acho, he got caught up in the fray. All right?
I had to voice my opinion about Emmanuel because he was talking to Van Lathan. Van Lathan, and he was expressing what, how he had the luxury of not having to deal with trauma from slavery and all this and that. And at that time I was like, all right, but since then, Caleb Williams, this. Y' all follow me on this. Now, Chicago, the Chicago Bears was playing Caleb Williams, their quarterback. He got injured, injured like a hamstring as he was carted off the field giving a fist bump to the crowd. And he was crying, dying or visibly just, you know, shooken up and. And nervous or scared. This is one of his first major injuries of his career.
And Acho took him to task on a lot of that.
Criticized and called Caleb out for being soft and for crying on the field while he was hurt and stuff like that and showing that emotion. So Leonard Fournette comes to the defense of Caleb Williams and just takes the time to kind of of, you know, as our brothers in the LGBTQIA+ community would say, he read him his rights, I guess.
[00:39:38] Speaker B: Do they.
[00:39:38] Speaker A: Do they say he re read him, you know, with the filth or the t. And he read him.
[00:39:46] Speaker B: He.
[00:39:47] Speaker A: He clocked him. I don't clocked it. I don't know what they say, but he read him his rights.
But anyway, anyways, so Acho responds by inviting Leonard Fournette on to their show Speak Easy where they had a spirited conversation. Now, credit to both gentlemen for having a conversation and not running from any conversation.
Super. Credit and shout out to Leonard Fournette for the combo. I mean the way that he handled himself during the conversation. Combo.
Acho, look, I'm credit and salute. You get credit for being there and, and showing up as well. The name calling that Acho results to. With Leonard Fournette as far as like the hooked on phonics and I wonder if he could spell and this and that. It was man, it's low hanging fruit, but it's corny. But also, how do I say this?
[00:40:50] Speaker E: Non,
[00:40:52] Speaker B: non.
[00:40:53] Speaker A: FBA brothers often will use that as
[00:40:58] Speaker B: their,
[00:41:00] Speaker A: you know, their low hanging fruit is a thing of intelligence or whatever where I've studied or the prestige of my family.
The prestige of my family.
While self admittedly us as a community in the fba, of course we will use physical violence as sometimes our first defense mechanism. So I can understand both sides of the coin.
However.
Yeah, yeah. Again, I just. It's A great conversation. I do want to play a couple clips from it, and I'll go ahead and take a couple from there and play. Played. So give me just one quick second here. Y' all bear me one moment. All right, so let's go ahead and play this first one right here. This is just. Again, these are all just clips from the actual.
The episode that.
That Leonard Fournette was on. So again, shout out to speakeasy. Shout out to Emmanuel Ocho. Brotherly love. Brotherly love. You did a lot of brother on your platform, and a lot allowed him to get on to get at you. So salute. But let's play this first clip.
[00:42:12] Speaker D: You need me to get views? You're welcome. I'm gonna start charging you first two videos free.
[00:42:17] Speaker H: Yeah.
[00:42:18] Speaker D: After that, Megan, my chief of staff, she's gonna send you the invoice because you gotta use me.
That channel you didn't build.
[00:42:25] Speaker F: Okay?
[00:42:26] Speaker C: You're.
[00:42:27] Speaker D: You borrowed that, right? Right now, hear you. I hear you.
Am I cooking? Let me know.
[00:42:40] Speaker A: Am I cooking? Let me know. All right, so let me go ahead and find another clip real quick for y'. All.
All right? And then so here's another part. And before I play this, I just want to say I can appreciate these football guys kind of talking like they would in the locker room. In other words, for lack of better terms, brothers is talking with thick skin pores, if that makes. If that makes sense.
Like, you know, they're not being sensitive with. With one another and not being overly emotional at the digs that are being taken at each other. So I can appreciate that. All right.
[00:43:16] Speaker D: You got your degree in what? Sports psychology. Master's degree, sir. So after you. After you get an undergrad degree, go back to college and then you can get another degree. Yeah, it's called a master's answers. Yeah, I got that one.
[00:43:26] Speaker H: Make sure.
[00:43:26] Speaker D: Make sure they. Make sure they get a refund for that.
I read what, A refund for that?
[00:43:32] Speaker G: Okay.
[00:43:33] Speaker D: You said referring. And listen, this is the thing I represent.
Why is a practice squad. Why is a practice squad guy speaking on starters? Because a practice squad guy has enough intellect to speak in general.
You're.
[00:43:48] Speaker A: You got your degree. All right, so that was another moment there. All right, so here goes some more smoke for Acho.
[00:43:54] Speaker D: My problem is right to me. See, and what we all see, you don't.
[00:43:58] Speaker B: You don't.
[00:43:58] Speaker D: You don't attack the. The Caucasian at least like that.
Hey, hey, hey. You come up. You come out strong, you come out strong against the brothers, right? And that's that is a shame. So I'm so happy we did this on FaceTime, right? Because I probably would have Shawn Michaels kicked the out if I was in person.
Now look, first off, that's low hanging fruit because I am most known for attacking Justin Herbert. Most known for that of all the quarterbacks, of all the players in the league I have attacked, I literally noted the term social media quarterback. So first, let me just completely undress that argument here and there.
[00:44:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:44:40] Speaker D: Now the other thing though, the issue I have with you, number one, you're doing a couple things. You're making something racial that is in no way, shape or form.
[00:44:49] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:44:50] Speaker D: This guy think about race.
[00:44:51] Speaker G: When I make my own.
[00:44:53] Speaker A: He's thinking exactly what I'm thinking though. He's like, oh, brother. Yeah. So let's see here how many more I have. But again, we got to get straight
[00:45:05] Speaker D: into this business right now.
Mr. Emmanuel Echo.
You see, I messed up a lot of names. I didn't know his name. Brother, why you come messing with the fors and south boys?
[00:45:17] Speaker H: I don't know.
[00:45:18] Speaker A: He's trying to get it popping, huh?
[00:45:19] Speaker D: Listen, I'm trying to just keep my mind clear. Emmanuel Echo.
Was he a starter?
[00:45:25] Speaker B: No, he wasn't a starter at all.
[00:45:26] Speaker D: Oh, he was a bench player. Oh. He started two games in his career. Out of every NFL analyst they have, he has the weakest resume. That's our last time even speaking.
[00:45:37] Speaker A: So the thing is, I, I don't. I not a big, big fan of the. The resume pulling whenever it comes to giving commentary. Of course, that is low hanging fruit as well. But again, you know him, both Emmanuel and Leonard, they both, you know, with the low hanging fruit, but nevertheless just wanted y' all to hear some of that. Emmanuel called him out on being like unintelligent and Hooked on Phonics. And then there was a fire part where Leonard Fernet was like I want was on Hooked on Phonics when I was younger and accepted like that and then said like all of the alumni that graduated from his prestigious high school to kind of shut down Acho's argument of the unintelligent thing. So it was a great discourse between the two gentlemen.
So while we were on Speak Easy or talking about speaking. You want to Speak Easy's co host, the co host up there, Lashan Shady McCool Boy is on a new season of Special Forces.
[00:46:35] Speaker F: Y'.
[00:46:35] Speaker B: All.
[00:46:36] Speaker A: Y' all not familiar. Special Forces.
Awesome show. I'll be catching it on Julia, but I think it comes on NBC maybe.
Perhaps the NBC is cbs But. Or Fox. Or Fox. But nevertheless, it takes celebrities and, you know, former athletes and things like that, and it puts them through this rigorous special forces, Marine life, like, type of training, boot camp, whatever you want to call it. And it is super entertaining. But Shady is one of the athletes on there. Matt Barnes is also on there. Alicia Bumgardner is on there.
A couple white actors. You know, I can't remember all y' all names, but the white. There's a lot of white actors that look familiar. There's a politician, former politician. George Santos, host. He's the.
He's the early non favorite, if you will. They already lost a girl, a young lady on the first day.
She, you know, dropped out. But yeah, they've got.
Oh, somebody named Ruby Rose as well.
It's a couple celebrities, so definitely check that out if y' all get a chance. One of the things that I've been watching, another thing that I have been watching is Snowfall, the drop.
Salute to snowfall. To drop.
So I'm a fan now. The main character, protagonist, he kind of. He annoys me a little bit.
They got his big brother looking like Jalen Hurts in the mug. Yeah. I mean, and he's banging Crip, the rapper that they deal with. He's banging Blood.
So there's those dynamics. But the main character, he seems a little on the spectrum, if you will. Autistic, slow.
And then the way that the writing is, it is unrealistic in a sense to me that as a parent, anytime a grown up brings to you or asks you a question, even if you have some talk back prepared for the grownup, oftentimes you at least gonna address or answer their question that they. That they present you with. And here it. There's a couple moments where that just didn't seem to happen. I know it's like nitpicking, but it's something that I paid attention to and was like, you know what I'm saying? But salute. Definitely the snowfall to drop.
Yeah, the. The protagonist, dude that. I'm talking about this on the. On the spectrum a little bit in. Look like a. I mean, look like Wiz Khalifa's son. Like an illegitimate child of Wiz Khalifas, you know, so salute to Simba also. And then Buddy, the rapper. Buddy's on there. Glasses Malone is on there as well.
[00:49:36] Speaker G: Salute.
[00:49:48] Speaker A: Take a look here.
Give me one second.
Pardon. Pardon.
Wanted to make sure I had everything here.
Oh, yes.
Special forces, snow forces.
All right, so it's about that time this week. I wanted to discuss a couple of. Or go through Some of the greatest soundtracks of our time.
So I want to just pick some tracks. This will be something that I'll kind of keep revisiting and stuff like that throughout the time. But a couple. This is inspired by a couple of slides and posts that I saw on our IG where they were talking about the soundtracks, how artists used to give these exclusive tracks to the soundtracks. And a lot of times those tracks was better than, you know, anything that you could find on a. On a person's album. So I'm gonna try to see what it allows me to play on some of these. But listen.
Okay, okay. Now, this soundtrack came out under Rockefeller Records 1999 Blue Streak.
But listen, first track on here, y'. All, this is my joint right here.
And I always trying to figure out, like, what album is this on?
[00:51:18] Speaker F: But.
[00:51:19] Speaker A: Oh, oh, oh, oh.
[00:51:22] Speaker B: Hold on.
[00:51:35] Speaker A: Come on, y'.
[00:51:35] Speaker B: All.
[00:51:35] Speaker A: This is on a soundtrack.
Come on, now.
I think they have some hot boys in here. Oh, yeah, they had hot boys.
Oh, man, this was crazy, too. This was fire.
Shout out to Blue.
[00:52:10] Speaker B: Street.
[00:52:21] Speaker A: The hook on this was crazy.
[00:52:45] Speaker B: Cross me.
[00:52:45] Speaker D: I don't cross you,
[00:53:06] Speaker A: Young wheezy.
I rock Ice.
That track was tough. Now, what about this, y'?
[00:53:26] Speaker F: All?
[00:53:27] Speaker A: Let's see what year this.
I mean, I can't say what year the movie was, but I know y' all remember this, though.
[00:53:35] Speaker H: Hey,
[00:53:41] Speaker A: Shout out to Mace had the only look Blinky Blink got from Mace.
I don't know what happened after this, but Shout out to Black Street, Maya.
I don't know. I think we really might get played if I let these holes, you know, this whole joint ride.
Come on, now.
Have no.
They ain't have no business making a banger like this,
[00:54:23] Speaker B: Y'.
[00:54:24] Speaker C: All.
[00:54:24] Speaker B: Come on, Maya.
[00:54:27] Speaker A: Maya killed this track.
You every day.
And then you Fast forward to 2026, 2025. They got ice Spice on the Barbie.
I can't believe they had Mace on this.
Oh, love doing runs. Boy, That sounds nasty. Revisiting that line because it's Nickelodeon, but what we do is between me and you, it's kind of sick, y'.
[00:55:50] Speaker C: All.
[00:55:58] Speaker A: All right, let's go to some more original soundtracks.
So real quick, though, the soundtrack, you know, Blinky Blink, Mace s. Mace.
Think Mace is about to come on in there.
Oh, they had a grown maze rapping about the cartoons. That's hilarious. But again, so what I was saying was the original soundtracks that had the original music. All right, Other soundtracks would just, like, say, for instance, Juice. Juice had no the Ledge or whatnot by Big Daddy Kane.
And then. But I don't.
[00:56:41] Speaker C: I don't.
[00:56:42] Speaker D: I don't know.
[00:56:42] Speaker A: I don't know. And in other words, original soundtrack, I believe is an original music, right? This whole soundtrack right here.
Black woman's soundtrack in the 90s right here, of course. Wait and exhale. Yeah, definitely. Yeah.
Come on, y'.
[00:57:03] Speaker H: All.
[00:57:08] Speaker A: Some original music.
But this is one of them original soundtracks where every track just. Maybe it was hurt so bad. Maybe it's cuz my mom and my aunt and them used to play this so much, but.
Crying when I don't love you.
Recipes to it. Yeah. Rest in peace.
Come on, now.
This was a little face. Classic soundtrack right here. Yeah, Yeah, this is.

Ran down on him essentially. And then also Remy Ma made it a difficult night for Flip as well.
Just bringing it up because it was funny to me.
I don't even got nothing to say about it, really, but it was funny to me. Listen, you gotta stand on things that you say, you know, you can't have it both ways and be cool with everybody all the time and diplomatic. And then if you're going outside side and stepping out, you got to be prepared for the things that come with that. So I just would say all of that to say that you heard.
