This podcast episode delves into the complex and often contentious issues surrounding contemporary political discourse, particularly focusing on the multifaceted nature of societal perceptions regarding crime and race. The conversation begins with a critical examination of the media's portrayal of crime. This juxtaposition initiates a broader dialogue about the implications of racial stereotypes and the inherent biases that permeate public discourse. Moreover, the episode addresses recent political events, including security concerns related to public appearances by political figures, while reflecting on the societal ramifications of these dynamics. Listeners are invited to engage in this thought-provoking discussion, which interrogates the intersections of race, politics, and media representation in today's society.

Speaker A:I asked him as who to ask ask somebody about.
Speaker A:About something.
Speaker A: The other day it was like: Speaker A:And I was just like sad people, man.
Speaker A:I feel bad for you.
Speaker A:Yeah, how's that Sad?
Speaker C:That's like 30 something years old, man.
Speaker A:I understand.
Speaker C:I feel like it's reasonable for people not to know about shit that happened 30 years ago.
Speaker A:Sure, sure.
Speaker C: ome shit that happened in the: Speaker A:I mean, yeah, that means that's like 60 years ago.
Speaker C:Yes, but that's an age thing.
Speaker C:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker C:To young people now, the 60s are just.
Speaker C:Your 60s are what the 90s are to them.
Speaker A:I mean, I hear that, but, you know, when I'm talking about people like.
Speaker A:Like, I.
Speaker A:No joke, the other day I dropped the audio 2 reference, man.
Speaker A:It was lost.
Speaker A:It was lost on some people, man.
Speaker A:I was.
Speaker A:My heart.
Speaker A:My heart hurt, man.
Speaker A:I mean, Audio two had one joint, one real dope joint that I feel like everybody should know.
Speaker A:But I get it, man.
Speaker A:I hear you.
Speaker A:It's sad.
Speaker C:You might be overplaying the dope joint.
Speaker A:First of all, the song was dope as hell.
Speaker A:Like, understand that was a little bit for your generation.
Speaker A:But we.
Speaker A:We need to be respecting audio, too, at least on that one joint.
Speaker A:Because I can't sit here and say nothing about the album.
Speaker A:I mean, but that one, I mean, hey, man, Gizmo's chilling.
Speaker A:That's all I'm saying.
Speaker A:Top villain, baby.
Speaker C:Like, having a relevant song doesn't mean you had a dope song.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:So are you saying it wasn't good?
Speaker A:You say it wasn't dope?
Speaker A:Is that what you're saying?
Speaker C:Yeah, I don't think it was.
Speaker A:Okay, and that's fine for you now.
Speaker C:For the times it was very relevant.
Speaker C:But when you talk about.
Speaker C:When you talk about a song that has, like, longevity.
Speaker C:Nah, I don't think you can play that song now.
Speaker C:In the Generation be like, that goes.
Speaker C:There's some classic songs that you can play now, and even the younger generation who ain't heard it before will be like, oh, that.
Speaker C:That slaps.
Speaker C:I don't think that's one of them songs that slaps.
Speaker A:All right, I hear that.
Speaker A:I mean, hey, you're right.
Speaker A:I mean, I keep.
Speaker A:I got to.
Speaker A:I got to keep reminding myself that I'm older.
Speaker A:Shit.
Speaker A:And like, it was.
Speaker A:It just hurt my feelings for a little bit, man.
Speaker A:Could I drop the verse?
Speaker A:Man, they just looked at me and I was just like.
Speaker A:Like, my fear is one day I'm going to drop a tribe verse and somebody.
Speaker A:Some.
Speaker A:Somebody's gonna look at me, and I'm just gonna walk away.
Speaker A:I'm just.
Speaker A:I mean, because I feel like I'm gonna drop, you know, industry rule record, tell me people are shady and somebody like, I don't know what the I'm talking about.
Speaker C:Like, anybody under the age of, say, 30, maybe even 35, ain't gonna understand that reference room, man.
Speaker A:And that'll be so sad.
Speaker C:Why?
Speaker C:You're just old and they're not I.
Speaker A:Know, man, I know.
Speaker A:But it's just like, you know, that is.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:That's been the rule.
Speaker A:That's been the industry rule for ever.
Speaker A:Ever since came out.
Speaker A:That's been the industry rule if you.
Speaker A:If you do that sort of thing.
Speaker A:And I mean, hey, but you're right, though.
Speaker A:I gotta.
Speaker A:I gotta stop thinking that these kids, like, understand what history is and stuff, and they're gonna take the time to go back to understand that, so.
Speaker A:Because, you know, right now, history's being changed because I don't know of any president that has gotten shot at more than this guy.
Speaker A:I mean, yester last night, the, you know, the.
Speaker A:The writers Congressional Dinner, man, like, that's when they take the time to joke on Trump, like, in.
Speaker A:Joke on the.
Speaker A:That we're in.
Speaker A:Somehow somebody got in there and it, like, made.
Speaker A:Shot.
Speaker A:Shot a gun.
Speaker C:Like, let's be fair.
Speaker C:Let's be fair.
Speaker C:They didn't technically get in.
Speaker C:No, no.
Speaker A:They had a hotel room in there already.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker C:But what I'm saying is they didn't actually get into the dinner.
Speaker C:They tried,.
Speaker A:Bruh.
Speaker A:I'm just saying, like, I guess my biggest thing is it's like,.
Speaker D:I don't.
Speaker A:Know of any president who has been shot at more than Trump.
Speaker A:And I say shot at because.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:Or.
Speaker A:Or somebody has attempted to kill him more than Trump because I.
Speaker A:At least in the history that I know, it's been at least four times already, somebody's tried to get at that man.
Speaker A:And like.
Speaker A:And like, we were briefly talking about last night, and I mean, yo, man, I think it's important to.
Speaker A:To really bring that up because it was the last.
Speaker A:You know, and ag, who is in parts unknown tonight, you know, he said that he have to be the most elusive president ever.
Speaker A:You know, I then said, or maybe the worst security ever, because you're right, he didn't get in the room, but damn, he was in the hotel with some guns.
Speaker A:And now it comes out that apparently, like, he was living in that hotel and apparently he had a ton of guns and a shit ton of bullets.
Speaker A:And I'm just like, hold on, man.
Speaker A:We're doing this at.
Speaker A:I don't.
Speaker A:I don't know, man.
Speaker A:It's just.
Speaker A:It's weird.
Speaker A:I guess it's weird that this also wasn't.
Speaker A:Like, this dinner is not considered one of those major security risks.
Speaker C:I mean, actually it is, but I mean, it's still a hotel that's open to the public.
Speaker C:It's just the part.
Speaker C:It's just the part where the dinner is, is sectioned up.
Speaker C:I mean, look, man, I know.
Speaker C:Look, man, believe me, I would love to just like, shit on everything and be like, they all suck.
Speaker C:But realist, as much as everybody is going to be like, hey, this shit has never happened.
Speaker C:Technically, security worked.
Speaker A:Yeah, you're right.
Speaker C:They didn't get in the room.
Speaker C:And like, at a public venue, when, when, when the president's at a public venue, technically, like, the goal is to make sure nobody can get in with shit.
Speaker C:And technically, he didn't get in with the shit.
Speaker C:He was close.
Speaker A:Not that day.
Speaker C:He was outside.
Speaker C:He was outside with the club.
Speaker C:But I mean, what Chris Brown said, you can't even hate from outside the club.
Speaker A:You can't even get in.
Speaker A:Which is a hilarious line about.
Speaker C:I mean, the truth of the matter is, though, it's like I, I've just.
Speaker C:I feel like most people, not most people, there's a large sect of people like me that's just become so cynical to everything that I'm just like, yeah, man, I don't think nobody's really trying to kill this dude.
Speaker C:These all seem like publicity stunts, man.
Speaker C:Like, I mean, look, I don't, I didn't.
Speaker C:I haven't paid any attention to it since last night on purpose because I was just like, look, man, I'm just, I'm not in the mood.
Speaker C:But you know, when they were first talking about the preliminary stuff, like, nothing about this dude sounded like radical terrorists to me.
Speaker C:That's suspicious.
Speaker C:It's like, usually when these radical terrorist people do stuff like this, people be like, oh, yeah,.
Speaker A:They get revenge for Iran.
Speaker A:There are some white dude, apparently just some random white dude.
Speaker C:I mean, look, in all fairness, Ruben, it usually is a random white guy.
Speaker C:Just in all fairness.
Speaker C:Like, look, I, I know, I know a lot of people will be like, hey, you know, white people, like, what about the black on black crime and blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker C:But you know, usually when we talk about, like, terrorist things, mass shooting things, like just general crazy people killing.
Speaker C:Generally the description is random white guy.
Speaker A:Remember the dude who hid bushes of, of the, the golf course last year or two years ago or whatever.
Speaker A:Try wait sitting there, waiting there for days for Trump to come by so he could shoot.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker D:What?
Speaker C:Look, if there's any white person out there that's listening to this is like, hey, man, you're right.
Speaker C:You're doing the race again.
Speaker C:Just.
Speaker C:Just be honest with yourself.
Speaker C:You remember the DC Sniper?
Speaker C:You remember how shocked we were that dude was black?
Speaker D:Like, everybody was.
Speaker A:Real talk.
Speaker A:Hold on.
Speaker A:Real talk.
Speaker A:The D doesn't matter.
Speaker A:I mean, I'm just saying.
Speaker C:I get what you're saying, Ruben, but generally the description doesn't involve pigmentation.
Speaker A:He was.
Speaker A:He wasn't a black American.
Speaker C:Once again, usually the description doesn't involve pigmentation.
Speaker C:For battles like that, we were all surprised.
Speaker C:We was like, wait a minute.
Speaker C:This.
Speaker C:Wait a minute.
Speaker C:First of all, this dude was outside of Piccadilly shooting, like, come on, bro.
Speaker A:He climbed up a couple buildings to shoot people.
Speaker C:Like, I'm not trying to make light over, like, mass shooting, shooting and murder.
Speaker C:I'm just saying white people, if you honest, like, y' all was just as surprised as we were when that DC sniper was black.
Speaker C:So with that being said, if you were surprised that somebody was black, that means typically you were suspecting just like the rest of us.
Speaker C:Random white guy.
Speaker A:I mean, Columbine, the shooting at.
Speaker A:Shooting at any school.
Speaker C:Once again, like, usually when the shoes.
Speaker C:Yeah, it's like that SNL skit where they were, like, doing the, like, the news story and trying to see if it was black or white.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker C:It's like, yo, as soon as it comes up, 10.
Speaker C:Yeah, that was y'.
Speaker A:All.
Speaker C:That's y'.
Speaker D:All.
Speaker A:I feel like we were undefeated until the DC Sniper.
Speaker A:We.
Speaker C:We were.
Speaker A:We were whatever to zero.
Speaker A:And then I don't know if we were undefeated.
Speaker C:That, that, that.
Speaker C:But for the most part, like, we, you know, we, we.
Speaker C:It was a 16 1.
Speaker C:It was a 161 matchup.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:And a 16 has be for just don't happen that often.
Speaker A:Not at all.
Speaker A:Not at all.
Speaker A:So Moco Cowboy is like, wonder if it'd be used to justify a certain type of room that's under construction to conter exec certain executive residents.
Speaker A:I mean, that's just.
Speaker C:He was already talking about it.
Speaker C:He was already talking about it, like,.
Speaker A:Built the ballroom so we don't have to worry about this no more.
Speaker C:And look, man, I'mma be honest, man.
Speaker C:Like, if anybody truly thinks that.
Speaker C:Let me not say truly think so.
Speaker C:I'm sure some people actually have.
Speaker C:They're entitled to their own opinion.
Speaker C:I'll give my probably radical opinion.
Speaker C:He's not.
Speaker C:He didn't want to build the ballroom because he wanted to build a ballroom.
Speaker C:He didn't want to build the ballroom just because he wanted to have some White House house legacy.
Speaker C:He's building a castle because the motherfucker never plans on leaving.
Speaker A:I mean, you've said it numerous times.
Speaker C:I mean, it's just.
Speaker C:He just doesn't Plan on leaving.
Speaker A:And plus, if you do it at his house, guess who gets paid?
Speaker A:His people.
Speaker A:So it's like it's another, it's not another Trump building that ultimately is going to fail and get close.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:If the midterms elections don't go extremely blue like a lot of people are suspecting it's going to.
Speaker C:If it doesn't do that, man, don't be surprised if you see a moat and a drawbridge around the White House.
Speaker A:Hey man, we gotta send a Trojan.
Speaker A:Gotta send a Trojan horse in there.
Speaker A:I mean you.
Speaker C:Man, all I'm saying, some drawbridge that's got to come down.
Speaker A:Look, I'm glad nobody got hurt, you know, through all this.
Speaker C:Well, nobody got seriously injured cuz, I mean somebody did take one, take a bullet.
Speaker C:It went through the bulletproof hit the bulletproof vest.
Speaker C:But still bet that hurt.
Speaker C:Like, I mean.
Speaker A:Yeah, and now he's going to get into war for that, cuz that's what happened.
Speaker C:Which he should.
Speaker C:Which he should.
Speaker C:Like, I guess as much as we minimize like the whole idea of us being heartbroken and somebody trying to take Trump about, because I, I really don't promote violence and I honestly don't think for as much as I joke about like how he ain't trying to leave, truly the, one of the worst things that could happen is this dude be assassinated.
Speaker C:Oh God, that's like one of the worst things that can happen.
Speaker C:Like, it just don't make him a martyr.
Speaker C:And then, you know, the, the MAGA people will be even louder and then somebody who actually has more intelligence but just as much evil in them will take over.
Speaker C:Man, like, I'm not saying ride it out because I don't want to say ride it out.
Speaker C:We, we have to need to vote them out.
Speaker C:But I mean, the assassination is not the move.
Speaker C:It's just not.
Speaker A:Well, once again, massive heart attack.
Speaker C:Hey, you know,.
Speaker A:You know they have those predictive, the things you can predict that, you know, you get paid for stuff like that.
Speaker A:You know, I have, I, I saw it on last week, tonight, a couple weeks ago.
Speaker A:Y.
Speaker A:First of all, that shit's funny.
Speaker A:Like the fact that you can predict like anything and get paid for it, that's hilarious to me.
Speaker A:But more importantly, it's like, I wonder, man, I wonder if there's some prediction out there about.
Speaker C:I'm sure there is.
Speaker C:But first of all, if, if somebody is out there betting serious money on predictions, motherfucker, you have a problem.
Speaker C:Like, I think, I think gambling in our country has got a bit not just our country, gambling in general just got out of control.
Speaker C:But now we just gambling on like predictions.
Speaker A:Like just, yeah, it seems pretty stupid to me.
Speaker C:Like yo man, how much, how much adrenaline do you need to live in life?
Speaker C:Like cuz I, I, I'm good man.
Speaker C:Like I don't like the gambling on sports.
Speaker C:Like have some skin in the game.
Speaker C:Why can't I just enjoy the game?
Speaker C:Like I, why do I, why do I have to have like, like some skin in the game for something that I, of, Maybe I'm just a control freak, but like the idea of like really gambling on that I had no control of just don't sit well with me.
Speaker A:I mean, you know, it's, it's interesting.
Speaker A:And like just watching that episode last week, tonight it was just like, hold on.
Speaker A:That means first of all A, people spend time on coming these questions.
Speaker A:But the worst part about is B, people spend time on putting money on it.
Speaker C:Who are the odds makers?
Speaker C:Makers.
Speaker A:Like it's a, if you haven't watched it, it's good because it gives you a lot of information.
Speaker A:But to me it just tells me how stupid it is.
Speaker A:But hey man, I, I, the way I look at it is just like, like it, it's just, it's like betting on anything.
Speaker A:I mean I ain't go front, I got fancy on.
Speaker C:We need a parlay on life.
Speaker C:Like literally that's what it is, it's parlay on life.
Speaker A:Like how many times that like the president's going to mention something in his State of the Union, you know who our president is?
Speaker A:Like, like I don't understand.
Speaker A:Because what you think he's not going to mention Sleepy Joe?
Speaker C:I mean the truth matter is, I mean like these, this prediction betting is probably the only reason some people pay attention to politics because like, like now they're just like yo, I have, I have vested interest.
Speaker C:Oh, I'm paying attention.
Speaker C:I mean, I mean, I guess that's me just trying to find some type of positive spin on people just gambling on the future.
Speaker A:I guess.
Speaker A:I, I'm not, you know, I, I haven't been much of a gambler.
Speaker A:Gambler.
Speaker A:Fancy teams.
Speaker A:Every once in a while I'll put a quarter on something because yeah, why not?
Speaker A:I don't think I'm ever gonna get to that point where I'm starting to, you know.
Speaker A:Is the sun gonna be out tomorrow?
Speaker C:What?
Speaker A:Like I just got better to do even when it's, even when the better is nothing.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:It's better than that.
Speaker A:So yeah, man, man, shit's crazy.
Speaker A:You have.
Speaker A:The funny thing about it is I feel like I can make this statement.
Speaker A:I could be wrong, but I feel like I'm right when I make the statement.
Speaker A:I feel like there have been more potential assassination attempts on Trump than it was on Obama.
Speaker C:I mean, I don't remember that many assassination attempts on any president.
Speaker C:Now, granted it, apparently you don't really hear about all the assassination attempts because usually I guess they nip it in the bud before it even happens.
Speaker C:Oh, yeah, but like, yeah, I mean, hey, man, people really want to take him out.
Speaker C:And, and people are like, and he's using it as like, means you have great impact.
Speaker C:But yeah, all impact ain't positive, baby.
Speaker C:Like, like, you know, a lot of people trying to take Hitler out too.
Speaker C:I'm just saying, a lot of people trying to take Hitler out too.
Speaker A:People hate you.
Speaker A:I mean, people hate you in your job.
Speaker C:I mean, he, he was talking about all the, the positive people.
Speaker C:Like, he's like, oh, Abe Lincoln, Martin Luther King.
Speaker C:I'm like, yeah, yeah, but those ain't the only people that's been killed.
Speaker C:There's been a lot of people killed that like, weren't doing good because, you know, people wanted them dead because they weren't doing good.
Speaker A:And furthermore.
Speaker A:All right, is he putting himself in that category?
Speaker C:It's like, yeah, that's what he did.
Speaker C:That's, that's literally what he did, bro.
Speaker A:What have you done for the country?
Speaker C:Hey, look, man, look, man, if, if, if his supporters can compare Charlie Kirk to Martin Luther King, anything is possible, bro.
Speaker C:Anything is possible.
Speaker C:Which, like, honestly, it's, that statement alone is so, it's so preposterous that like, I don't even have it in me to get upset at people saying that because I, I just, I can't fathom that any creature is that stupid.
Speaker C:So it's like I can't even take it serious.
Speaker C:Yeah, and thing is, I know some people have probably been dead ass serious talking about Charlie Kirk is the modern day Martin Luther King.
Speaker C:And I'm just like, then you're stupid.
Speaker C:And, and, and I, I hope you never allowed to procreate.
Speaker C:And if you have procreated, I hope your kids succeed in spite of you.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:There are so many levels wrong with that.
Speaker A:I mean, I don't have no problem.
Speaker C:With anybody saying they support Charlie Kirk or I like Charlie Kirk.
Speaker C:First of all, I think something's wrong with you if those are the statements you can make.
Speaker C:But you know what?
Speaker C:I can live.
Speaker C:You know what?
Speaker C:I'm saying I can live because you two people can see, you know, the same thing in two different ways.
Speaker C:But when we start saying modern day Martin Luther King, I'm just like, hey bro, like you, you spewing out more stupid than it should be allowed legally.
Speaker A:I mean, they're close to their stupid limit, you know, because after a while that, that karma's got to come after that.
Speaker A:Because that's just, that's just a dumbass statement, you know, not even just the fact that they compared him to Martin Luther King.
Speaker A:It's just a dumbass statement because you're basically saying he did some things that Martin Luther King did.
Speaker A:And last time I checked, I haven't seen Charlie Kirk do any march to.
Speaker C:I mean, I guess they'll say the bold thing he did was challenge people's views in public forums.
Speaker C:And I'm just like, look man, there.
Speaker A:Are a lot of people did that.
Speaker C:If you want to say Charlie Kirk is like a tremendous advocate for free speech, I ride with you on that.
Speaker A:That's fair.
Speaker C:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker C:I think that's reasonable.
Speaker C:If you want to say anything short of Tyler Kirk being a hero, then yeah, anything short of anything above him being like a piece of human being.
Speaker C:I don't agree with you on, but like, hey, freedom of speech, you, you could, you have the freedom to do as much and say as much and think as much dumb as possible.
Speaker C:But you know what, man?
Speaker C:After a while, saying so much stupidity should be considered pollution.
Speaker C:And, and we, we gotta have, we gotta have some, some laws and limits on how much like just stupidity you can just throw out into the atmosphere.
Speaker A:Yeah, I agree.
Speaker A:I mean, yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker A:You know, if you want to make a law, make a law on that.
Speaker C:Like, yeah, so.
Speaker C:So yeah, man, like, you know, your boy Don just really compared himself to call him Don.
Speaker A:That's funny.
Speaker C:Yeah, your boy Don.
Speaker C:Your boy Donnie.
Speaker C:Donnie Warbucks.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, what do you mean broke bucks?
Speaker C:I mean, like, what n. Donnie Warbucks, man.
Speaker C:Like cu.
Speaker C:He.
Speaker C:He's throwing all this federal money that we didn't have for, you know, like health care and child education and yeah, you know, shit that could actually help us.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker C:But nah, man, we got, we got enough money to take out leaders in other countries that didn't necessarily seem like they were actually threatening us.
Speaker C:I'm not one of those people that's like, America shouldn't involve themselves in anything thing in the world because, you know, at the end of the day, we're in the World too.
Speaker C:So if you let get out of hand, like I get it, you know, we have the power but like we didn't do this because we felt some threat.
Speaker C:We did this because you know, a certain leader in a certain country that it seems like we're very beholden to said hey man, we got to take him out.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Hey, I don't like his get down.
Speaker C:Gotta drop a dime on that.
Speaker A:I mean, yeah.
Speaker A:So you know that mobile cowboys like need to increase the budget to 1.5 trillion.
Speaker A:And KB ago said that already happened earlier today.
Speaker A:I'm just like these.
Speaker A:And we're stupid.
Speaker A:We're just, our leaders are stupid.
Speaker C:But, but we can't fix health care.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:We can't fix this gas price.
Speaker C:We, we can't invest in like child education because you know we're, we're really falling behind every year in the world education.
Speaker C:But like we, we talk about Iran and like you know they're, I think their education level is higher than, than ours as a country.
Speaker A:You know, there's a lot of education that's higher than ours.
Speaker A:And you know, it goes back to that episode of the Newsroom when one of the guys, I guess he was talking in front of a bunch of kids and one of them was like why do you think America is the best country in America world?
Speaker C:And he's like we're not.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:And everybody's like what?
Speaker A:And I was like now.
Speaker A:And as he list, you know, where we rank a certain things, I was like yeah, yeah, we're not.
Speaker A:But you know, hey all because we got this thing called freedom.
Speaker A:Everybody thinks we are and it's just like maybe for you ladies and gentlemen, but not for the rest of us.
Speaker A:And that's where the problem is.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:All right, so let's, let's move on from, from that I guess let's do some, let's go back in time because last week was the biggest.
Speaker A:The big vote in Virginia in which it was closer than I thought.
Speaker A: I think it was: Speaker A:So we have given permission to change the landscape, political landscape, you know, so we can create four more Democratic seats.
Speaker C:On the Supreme Court now though because the judge blocked it.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:I mean the interesting thing about that is so you.
Speaker A:So if this gets, you know, plot by the Supreme Court.
Speaker A:So are we going back and blocking everybody shit like because you know there are some other states have already done this.
Speaker A:So that'll be interesting to see which, which obviously if that happens that'll reverse Every.
Speaker A:Everything.
Speaker A:Which still I don't.
Speaker C:I don't know if it's going to.
Speaker C:It would work that way because I think each individual state would then have to have at least one judge step up and block.
Speaker C:And it like, I mean, maybe, but.
Speaker A:That's what I think that's what will happen.
Speaker C:Maybe you're right.
Speaker A:I believe you'll find a judge in every state who will just literally say, see.
Speaker C:But the pro.
Speaker C:The problem is the reason the judge block.
Speaker C:Because he said.
Speaker C:They said the vote is.
Speaker C:It's a.
Speaker C:They said they didn't get the vote in.
Speaker C:In a timely manner.
Speaker C:So in the other states that did, it didn't put it up for vote.
Speaker C:So it's nothing for a judge to be able to block.
Speaker C:So technically, no, I don't think the other states could do this now.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:The timely manor thing.
Speaker C:Yeah, I think it was like 90 days or something like that.
Speaker C:I don't know.
Speaker A:That sounds like we pulling some shit our ass type.
Speaker C:I mean, that's exactly what they're doing.
Speaker C:And it's delay because you know they're trying to delay, delay, delay.
Speaker C:Because if they delay it past midterms, it's irrelevant.
Speaker A:Well, but the interesting part about it was in the places.
Speaker A:Well, not really all the places, but Texas, it actually, like, it's kind of.
Speaker C:Backfired because I'm in the seat.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:So it's like, I get it.
Speaker A:But you've lost seats in Texas due to this already.
Speaker A:So it's like, okay.
Speaker A:I think that I was.
Speaker A:So I have a couple of different thoughts on it.
Speaker A:I was kind of always on the fence because I.
Speaker A:Part of me is like, yeah, we need to do this to protect ourselves.
Speaker A:But the other part is like, I don't really like just changing rules in the middle of the game type.
Speaker A:And so, you know, that's kind of.
Speaker A:I went back and forth with it.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Because I can totally understand how somebody would be like, yo, man, I'm not for gerrymander.
Speaker C:Because technically this is what this is.
Speaker C:Even though, you know, Democrats will try to do the high horse thing, be like, well, yeah, first it don't matter.
Speaker C:It is gerrymander.
Speaker A:But I'm not.
Speaker A:Not for gerrymandering anywhere.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:I said I'm not.
Speaker C:I'm not for gerrymander in any way.
Speaker C:So I feel, I feel you on that.
Speaker C:Like, out.
Speaker C:Part of me is kind of torn on it too.
Speaker C:But yeah, I guess, I guess where I will kind of say that.
Speaker C:Like, I mean, of course I'll be Honest, I voted yes, because, I mean, I see what's happening.
Speaker A:Oh, I did, too.
Speaker A:I'm not crazy.
Speaker C:But I personally gotta say I was proud of Virginia because I didn't think they were going to do it because.
Speaker C:And it wasn't because I didn't think enough people, like, cared or would do great.
Speaker C:I just.
Speaker C:The campaigning was so confusing.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker C:And I. I personally did not give our peoples enough credit because I thought when they took all these Obama quotes about gerrymandering and stuff and then said, you know, say no to gerrymandered, I thought, oh, man, there's gonna be some people that totally don't understand, understand.
Speaker C:And I think they were doing.
Speaker C:Yeah, I'm sure they were, but I. I guess it wasn't enough and it wasn't loud enough to sway and shout out to the white people, baby.
Speaker A:Like, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Like, hey, way to come through for your boy.
Speaker A:Well, I think what I found most interesting was the percentage.
Speaker A:Like, basically, that's kind of what I'm saying.
Speaker A:Like 5,149, bro.
Speaker A:Like, if, if, if purple ain us, I don't know what we are because we are purely a purple state, especially with that type of voting, because I think a lot of.
Speaker A:I think a lot of people, you know, so you got some people who are definitely yes.
Speaker A:You have some people definitely no.
Speaker A:But then you got a bunch of people who are just like.
Speaker A:Like me, you know, I don't know if we should get in the habit of just changing rules and when we feel like it instead of just going the path.
Speaker A:Now, once again, I voted yes, too.
Speaker A:However, I'm not going to say I felt good about it.
Speaker A:I'm going to say that I feel.
Speaker C:You on that because it's like, you know, it's not going to end.
Speaker C:It's like, all right, we did it.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker C:Now it's going to be a couple more states going to try to do it, too.
Speaker C:So it's like this shit just going, Keep going.
Speaker A:And I just really felt like, you know, I felt like.
Speaker A:I felt like I was pushed, right?
Speaker A:Because I just feel like, you know, these commercial.
Speaker A:Commercials all over goddamn place.
Speaker A:Like, I thought somebody was running for the reelection, bro.
Speaker A:It was crazy.
Speaker A:There's so many commercials.
Speaker A:And I was just like, I was.
Speaker C:Surprised so many people voted.
Speaker C:Like, honestly, I was surprised so many people voted because usually these type of elections don't get, like a hell of lot of people, a lot of traction voting.
Speaker A:I thought it.
Speaker A:Yes, it felt great.
Speaker C:Here's the thing.
Speaker C:R. I felt great too.
Speaker C:But like, I understand your point.
Speaker C:Like, I was like, I felt great about it, but what I didn't feel good about is I'm like, I know this ain't an end.
Speaker A:Correct.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:So that's what I didn't feel good.
Speaker C:I'm like, man, this ain't the end.
Speaker A:We got to do what we got to do.
Speaker A:But we know this ain't the first nor the last time.
Speaker C:This like, Trump's greatest impact on politics has been the fact that he, he has totally made it.
Speaker C:So it, you can't even pretend like, having, have ethics, like, on either side.
Speaker C:Like, you can't even pretend like, and, and the, the number one thing is like, the Democratic Party for a long time has been Florida Evans in this thing, man.
Speaker C:Yeah, they've, they've been like, so trying to be high and mighty on stuff that nothing gets done.
Speaker A:See mocha cowboy toads, 48 turnout.
Speaker A:I mean, so like, yeah, either half, half Virginia was like, I'm either A, not getting involved in this shit, B, I don't have the time.
Speaker C:But for this type of election, I think that's a really high number.
Speaker A:That's a very high number.
Speaker C:That's a super high number.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:I mean, I ain't got, I ain't got the numbers to prove it, but I mean, I'd like to think, I.
Speaker A:Want to say it was somewhere.
Speaker C:I think I've only voted in one.
Speaker C:I think I've only voted in one special election before in my life.
Speaker A:I want to say it was like, I felt like it's.
Speaker A:It was like three main people who voted, but once again, that's huge.
Speaker A:And I found it interesting.
Speaker A:I think where I found it most interesting is the fact that it was so close.
Speaker A:However, before Fairfax came in, yo, it was like 55%.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:And then of course, the Democratic stronghold came in and they only won by 2%.
Speaker A:Like in some states.
Speaker A:That's a revote for certain things in Virginia.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Nah, man, it's good.
Speaker A:If we have been won by one vote, that would have been good.
Speaker A:But I am, I was very shocked because it's just a weird date.
Speaker A:April 21, just such a weird date.
Speaker A:But I think you have to have it out for a certain length of time.
Speaker A:You can't just say, hey, we voted on this, and do it in like two weeks.
Speaker A:I assume it's got to be like a six week thing, which gave everybody time to really put their money into it, you know.
Speaker A:So the other thing is that it gave us the ability to do that.
Speaker A:However, I also think it's one of those things where, you know what?
Speaker A:We might keep it in our back pocket till we see what's going on.
Speaker A:Because.
Speaker A:Yeah, I guess the other thing is they have to do it.
Speaker A:I assume they have to do it by, like, August or something.
Speaker A:July, August.
Speaker C:I have no idea.
Speaker C:I honestly don't know.
Speaker A:My frame is on that.
Speaker A:But, you know, they may just not.
Speaker C:I think they've already redrawn it.
Speaker C:They've already redrawn it.
Speaker C:So now it's just a matter of if it's on the going.
Speaker A:I've not seen it.
Speaker C:Yeah, I think they were.
Speaker C:They were showing it, like, on CNN and stuff.
Speaker C:I think they've already redrawn it.
Speaker A:I mean.
Speaker A:I mean, what they probably did is put western Virginia by itself, and you carved out Virginia beach and you carved out certain parts, and then everything else is blue.
Speaker A:It's probably like very blue, super blue.
Speaker A:We'll do some research on that.
Speaker A:We'll try to find out.
Speaker A:Maybe next next week we'll have a.
Speaker A:A different map we can show.
Speaker A:Because I'm now very curious about it.
Speaker A:Because honestly, once I found out the results of the vote, I ain't gonna lie, it's been kind of out of sight, out of mind.
Speaker A:I'm just glad all the damn career rest are gone.
Speaker C:Yeah, so that was getting super annoying.
Speaker C:And you know who was probably annoyed?
Speaker C:Damn it.
Speaker C:Obama.
Speaker C:Cuz Obama had to actually make a commercial just to be like, hey, man, they using my.
Speaker C:They using what I said out of context.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:I support this.
Speaker A:I mean, man, what are you gonna do?
Speaker A:So awesome.
Speaker B:And now for a commercial break.
Speaker A:How you doing?
Speaker A:This is Reuben from Five Minute Warner, and I just wanted to sit here and tell you about JTD Creations.
Speaker A:They're the ones that made our shirts and even sweatshirts.
Speaker A:They're pretty dope.
Speaker A:They can put your logo on anything.
Speaker A:Shirts, jackets, hoodies, even hats.
Speaker A:They also do Stanley's and all this other stuff.
Speaker A:Anything you need a logo on, they can put it on.
Speaker A:They can do it for one or two people, or they could do it for a group.
Speaker A:It's really up to you.
Speaker A:Hit them up on JTD Creations or on Facebook.
Speaker A:Once again, that's who 5 Minute Warning uses for all of our apparel.
Speaker A:And trust me, you will not be disappointed.
Speaker A:Once again, hit up JTD Creations if you need a shirt or you need anything for yourself, a family member or your crew, and let them know that Five minute.
Speaker A:Warner sent.
Speaker A:You have a great one.
Speaker B:And back to the show.
Speaker A:So let's get into our question of the day.
Speaker A:Very simple question of the day, and I'll tell you how it gets about.
Speaker A:But before we do that, I do want to bring up the fact I need to give Moby a shout out.
Speaker A:Because last night, as we were talking about this.
Speaker A:This shooting at the Congressional.
Speaker A:At the.
Speaker A:At the dinner, you know, I literally brought up.
Speaker C:Another old man reference, mad that young people wouldn't I identify.
Speaker A:Yep.
Speaker A:But it was dope as.
Speaker A:Because, you know, after Moby pretty much, you know, talking about controlling narrative, blah, blah, and I was like, all those people try to take them out, work for Cobra.
Speaker A:And of course, if you know Cobra, that's GI Joe.
Speaker A:And them red beams never hit.
Speaker A:And of course, Moby is like, lmao.
Speaker A:It went cold, bro.
Speaker A:Which was.
Speaker A:You made.
Speaker A:You made me happy there, man.
Speaker A:You made me happy with that.
Speaker C:Because I was just like, look, I'll be honest, man.
Speaker C:You know why?
Speaker C:I didn't really f. With GI Joe for that very reason.
Speaker C:It's like, wait a minute.
Speaker C:All these special ops people can't hit nobody.
Speaker A:They ain't even hit.
Speaker C:Nobody ever gets hit.
Speaker C:Like, you see the blue beam, you.
Speaker A:See the red beams, and nothing hits nothing.
Speaker C:Like, I was like, I almost can't.
Speaker C:I'm not saying I want a motherfuckers to be taken out every morning on Saturday morning cartoons night.
Speaker C:But what I'm saying is, like, we've talked about it before Transformers hit.
Speaker C:Like, I'm just trying to die.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Like, let me.
Speaker C:As a kid, let me feel like the stakes is real a little bit like, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Like, don't.
Speaker C:Don't have all these special ops people.
Speaker C:I got ninja assassins and stuff, and y' all can't hit nobody.
Speaker C:Y' all 15ft away from me, bro.
Speaker C:Shooting the worst shooting ever, blowing up all around people.
Speaker C:But don't nobody ever get hit.
Speaker A:Nobody gets hit nothing.
Speaker A:Oh, man, that.
Speaker A:You know, I'm not gonna lie, man.
Speaker A:That.
Speaker A:That's like one of the funniest things about GI Joe is because, you know, it's like 30 shooting at each other.
Speaker A:Nobody gets hit.
Speaker C:The only thing that ever got hit was that NBC star saying, the more, you know, at the end of the episode, that's.
Speaker C:That's the only thing.
Speaker C:That's the only thing ever got hit.
Speaker A:Joe fireworks didn't sit too well.
Speaker C:No, he did.
Speaker A:That was funny.
Speaker A:He did not.
Speaker A:Ah, man, G.I.
Speaker A:Joe, man.
Speaker C:Cobra.
Speaker A:Not gonna lie, man.
Speaker A:You made it.
Speaker A:You made a guy feel good, man, with that one.
Speaker C:You know, once again, I got the reference right away, but I was just like, hey man, you better not try that reference with anybody under 40 because they not gonna get it.
Speaker A:I mean, look, I'm.
Speaker A:I'm just gonna show it because it's hilarious real quick because he even put the picture up here, which was really the dope part, man.
Speaker A:He puts picture up there.
Speaker A:There it is.
Speaker D:Cobra.
Speaker C:I mean, look, man, first of all, I didn't even have to dig for that picture, which is the problem.
Speaker C:Like, it's just in my phone.
Speaker C:It's just in my phone.
Speaker A:Why is it in your phone?
Speaker C:It's just a standby meme, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Like I just.
Speaker C:Anytime shooting and missing.
Speaker C:Like, it's just Cobra.
Speaker C:Like,.
Speaker A:Oh, that was hilarious, man.
Speaker A:Shout out.
Speaker A:I had to give that shout out for you, cuz my, the, the little kid in me like was, was dance.
Speaker A:Was happy as last night, man.
Speaker A:When I saw that, I was like, thank you.
Speaker A:Somebody got it.
Speaker A:I was really mad.
Speaker A:Ag didn't say nothing.
Speaker A:So I'll deal with him later.
Speaker C:Like G. GI Joe references.
Speaker C:I got you.
Speaker C:Transformer references.
Speaker C:I got you.
Speaker C:You start breaking out some he man references or something.
Speaker C:I'm lost, man.
Speaker C:Like, I just.
Speaker C:I ain't got nothing, man.
Speaker C:Like that was.
Speaker C:It wasn't really before my time enough.
Speaker C:Before my time where I won't really interest.
Speaker C:It's like making a Voltron reference.
Speaker C:Like, I know what Voltron is.
Speaker C:I might be able to pick up some of the Voltron references, but honestly, man, that ain't my generation.
Speaker A:One more real quick.
Speaker A:That he also had.
Speaker C:That's hilarious.
Speaker C:And I made that myself.
Speaker A:That was classic.
Speaker A:I was weak.
Speaker A:When I saw God.
Speaker A:Oh, I was weak, man.
Speaker A:I saw that.
Speaker A:I was like, yo, I'm done.
Speaker A:I had to turn.
Speaker A:I had to turn my phone off, man.
Speaker A:That was hilarious.
Speaker C:I was going to find the picture of his, his ear bleeding.
Speaker C:It's like.
Speaker C:But I was like, nah, man, it's doing too much.
Speaker C:I. I don't want it to seem like I'm celebrating the idea of this man getting shot, but I am going to joke on the fact that this don't seem to ever get hit.
Speaker A:Not at all.
Speaker A:I mean, cuz, they hitting it with the.
Speaker A:They're hitting it with the beans, man.
Speaker A:She had ghost, Ghost nothing.
Speaker A:I guess you get what you pay for, so.
Speaker A:All right, so question of the day, once again, pretty simple.
Speaker A:So Moby, are you A do it yourself person or, or you are pay somebody else to do it person.
Speaker A:As far as like stuff around the house and things that such depends on.
Speaker C:What we're talking about.
Speaker C:I mean, honestly, like that's, that's such a broad question.
Speaker C:It's like there aren't some things that I won't just be like, I ain't about to pay nobody.
Speaker A:Like if you going to build some.
Speaker C:Depends on what it is.
Speaker C:Like I built some in here and, and there's some where I'm just like, yeah, I ain't trying to do that.
Speaker A:Anything in particular that you try to do?
Speaker C:Like, you know, like mounting the TV on my brick fireplace.
Speaker C:I won't trying to drill brick and do all that.
Speaker C:I was like, no, that ain't, that ain't maintain my speed, you know, on the walls.
Speaker C:Yeah, me and my boy Terry, we can handle that.
Speaker C:But on the brick, nah man, I ain't, I'm good on that.
Speaker A:You had to call professional.
Speaker A:You just do it.
Speaker C:I pay somebody to do it.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Like, and look, man, like, part of this is like, you know, how broke are you?
Speaker C:And I don't mean that like in a derogatory manner.
Speaker C:I'll just be like, honest.
Speaker C:Like, man, like when I started as make like some respectable money, some of the I was willing to do on my own shrink, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:It's like, yo, your time became a.
Speaker A:Little bit more valuable.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:When they say time is money.
Speaker C:And I was just like, yeah, man, I could not do this and be okay.
Speaker C:Like you like, well, I guess it's mostly fasted.
Speaker C:Like I stopped cutting.
Speaker C:I wasn't cutting my yard as much, probably for health reasons and stuff too.
Speaker C:But like now it's like I might come do that shit like every two weeks, man.
Speaker C:We don't even have to say say nothing.
Speaker C:Like, I just, I wake up one morning and I hear the lawnmower going and I'm just like, you know what, man?
Speaker C:I don't necessarily miss doing it.
Speaker C:I'm good.
Speaker A:How much you pay for that?
Speaker A:Out of curiosity?
Speaker C:I don't remember.
Speaker C:You don't remember because it ain't my Spence, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:Like, oh, my wife pays for that.
Speaker C:Yeah, it's like a gift, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:She was like, hey, I'm tired of seeing you struggle, do this.
Speaker C:So I'm gonna get these people that do it a lot better than you do it anyway.
Speaker C:Which is true.
Speaker C:And I'm hey, It's fair.
Speaker A:You're not.
Speaker A:You're not gonna ask.
Speaker C:And they do it quick.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Not a grass cutter.
Speaker C:It's not that I'm not a grass cutter.
Speaker C:Like, I'm an old school grass cutter.
Speaker C:I got the push mower and everything, you know, they come pick up the truck, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:He comes rolling out the truck on his standing mower.
Speaker C:He's like, you know, 25 minutes he out.
Speaker C:And like, me, I was like, it's like an hour and a half.
Speaker A:They don't weed or nothing.
Speaker C:Oh, they weed.
Speaker C:It's two of them.
Speaker A:He.
Speaker C:Dude come out, he's riding on the mower, and other dudes up there lining shit up.
Speaker C:Next thing I know, it's quicker than a haircut.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker A:I'm like, damn, your wife be bowling.
Speaker A:I'm pretty sure that's not.
Speaker A:That's not cheap, man.
Speaker C:I want to say it's like 60.
Speaker A:Every time they come do it.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:120Amonth, bro.
Speaker A:Hey, man, can't have money, buddy.
Speaker A:Can't have money.
Speaker C:Once again, I said, I. I started this thing.
Speaker C:Said, look, man, a lot of it is.
Speaker C:How broke are you now?
Speaker C:I'm not above doing it.
Speaker C:Like, if we was like, hey, man, we ain't got.
Speaker C:Got this money.
Speaker C:I mean, I go out there and cut it, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:But.
Speaker A:Yeah, I hear you.
Speaker A:I hear you.
Speaker C:But I mean, I'm.
Speaker C:I'm not a. I'm not somebody that takes super tremendous pride in doing everything myself.
Speaker C:Because I honestly, I think some of that is pride based.
Speaker C:Like, when people, like, I want to do it myself, save some money.
Speaker C:I'm like, sometimes you ain't really trying to save no money.
Speaker C:You just got too much pride to say you paid somebody to do it.
Speaker C:It's like car stereo stuff.
Speaker C:Like, I. I used to do my own car stereo stuff because I knew how to do it.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:And actually it's.
Speaker C:It's technically easier to do it now because they got so much, like, things that make it easier.
Speaker C:Boom, boom, boom.
Speaker C:Yeah, but at some point in time, I was just like, man, this technology is kind of getting past me with some of the.
Speaker C:And stuff.
Speaker C:So my cousin does.
Speaker C:I'd be like, hey, man, I'll come help you.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Because I want to know how the stuff's done.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:So if I need to fix something, I ain't got to wait for him to do it.
Speaker C:But like, yeah, man, I'm.
Speaker C:I ain't got too much pride to say I don't know how to do something.
Speaker A:Okay, cool, cool.
Speaker A:So you're definitely, for the most part, you're.
Speaker A:You're a p. Pay somebody else to do it guy.
Speaker C:Once again, it really just.
Speaker C:Because, I mean, there's some things.
Speaker C:Things that I just.
Speaker C:I'm pretty sure there's some things I won't pay nobody to do.
Speaker C:Like, I won't pay nobody to deliver me no food.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:No, I'm not doing that.
Speaker C:Yeah, I go to store, do that myself.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker A:It's funny because, like, my dad asked me about.
Speaker A:About that, and I was like, I mean, honestly, I use that company once, and I told him, I was like, look, I was sick, so I couldn't.
Speaker C:Go out, but most of the time, that's convenient thing.
Speaker C:Like, if I'm sick.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:If everybody in the house was sick and we needed stuff, cool.
Speaker C:I'm not above it.
Speaker C:But what I'm saying is, like, yo, I got two legs.
Speaker C:I'm in decent health.
Speaker C:Grocery store not far.
Speaker C:I can go get my own.
Speaker A:Yeah, the.
Speaker C:The meal plan things that, you know, the prepaid meals and everything that people get, like, the extra.
Speaker C:I'm kind of above that because I'm just like, yeah, I just do it myself, man.
Speaker C:Like, if I know how to do some.
Speaker C:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker C:It's kind of like an expertise thing too.
Speaker C:Like, if I'm good at doing myself, I'm not about to just pay somebody just to do it.
Speaker A:Nah, nah.
Speaker A:Hear that.
Speaker A:Definitely.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:I mean, I did the meal plan thing for a little bit.
Speaker A:I'd rather just cook it myself.
Speaker A:I just feel.
Speaker A:I feel I've done a couple different ones where they.
Speaker A:The food already comes done.
Speaker A:You just gotta heat it up.
Speaker A:I've also done another one.
Speaker A:They give you all the materials, and then you cook it.
Speaker A:I mean, that's cool and everything.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker C:Well, that's kind of cool if you don't know how to cook, because it's like, you can actually learn how to do it.
Speaker C:So I'm not a.
Speaker C:But that.
Speaker C:That's different.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:If you're, like, acquiring a skill in the process.
Speaker A:Yeah, but I knew how to cook.
Speaker A:I was just too lazy to go buy because, you know, it's like, when you trying to really cook something, the real talk is it's like a whole bunch of different things you got to get.
Speaker A:And I. I tried this because I was just too lazy to get all the small things you got to get.
Speaker A:And so like I said it was cool.
Speaker A:I mean, you know.
Speaker A:Yeah, it was cool.
Speaker A:It came with everything.
Speaker A:So cooking was.
Speaker A:I don't know if it was easier, it was just different.
Speaker A:I mean.
Speaker A:But once again, I don't mind cooking at this period time, this time of my life.
Speaker A:I got too many damn toys to sit here and.
Speaker A:And be doing stuff like that.
Speaker A:Cuz literally I feel like I got enough, I call them toys.
Speaker A:I got enough cooking things here that I could cook.
Speaker A:I feel like I can cook almost anything without issues.
Speaker A:So if I know how to cook it or if I can read.
Speaker A:So you know.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:As far as, as far as me, I really wasn't a do it yourself person.
Speaker A:I became.
Speaker A:I think I became more of a do it yourself person based on like getting the house and stuff like that.
Speaker C:That'll do it.
Speaker C:Because I mean we, we did some stuff around here that like.
Speaker C:I don't know if I would like painting.
Speaker C:I'm not above painting, I don't mind painting.
Speaker C:But like we whitewashed my, our brick fireplace.
Speaker C:Like that was something me and wife did together.
Speaker C:And I was like, yeah, I would have never done this just on my own.
Speaker C:But I was like, why pay somebody to do this?
Speaker C:And she, of course she YouTubed all of it.
Speaker C:It was just my job to like.
Speaker A:Kind of follow structure.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:I mean like so like for instance, like the grass thing.
Speaker A:Yes, I cut my own grass.
Speaker A:You know, I'm not gonna sit here and lie.
Speaker A:Part of it is cuz I'm kind of cheap on stuff like that.
Speaker A:But the other part is because you know I can do it and it's exercise cuz I'm not a small dude.
Speaker A:So anytime I get out in the yard and, and do some things, I prob.
Speaker A:Moco cowboy asked me about the lawn.
Speaker A:Cut the lawn yet?
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, I cut it a couple weeks ago and then I cut it further down because it was looking like a jungle at the beginning of the month.
Speaker A:And then the next week I cut it even further down.
Speaker A:So now it's pretty low.
Speaker A:But it's, it's growing up.
Speaker A:I've.
Speaker A:I have moles or foals or whatever in my yard.
Speaker A:So right now I got some grub killer out there trying to get rid of those cats.
Speaker A:It was of kind going on.
Speaker A:Scott, long time no see, man.
Speaker A:Long time no see.
Speaker A:So yeah, I'm doing some yard work couple weeks.
Speaker A:I put some weed killer down a couple weeks ago.
Speaker A:So a couple weeks I'm gonna fertilize it.
Speaker A:And you Know, just I went out there today and did, you know, got some leaves and stuff up.
Speaker A:I mean, yeah, it was like 60 degrees, but I was just like, the sun ain't out.
Speaker A:If you're gonna do some hard work, you know, don't do it when it's freaking super hot.
Speaker A:Like, I'm a fan of not doing that.
Speaker A:So it was, you know, six degrees.
Speaker A:I had my sweatshirt on and some sweatpants and I went out there some work today, so, you know, looks better.
Speaker A:I had to get a bunch of.
Speaker A:Get rid of a bunch of leaves and stuff.
Speaker A:There's a process to my yard I gotta do.
Speaker A:But yeah, as far as now, yeah, I kind of a. I'm becoming a do it yourselfer.
Speaker A:The problem is when you're becoming a do it yourselfer, but you don't know how to do it yourself.
Speaker A:You know, things are mixed.
Speaker A:There are times when, you know,.
Speaker C:You.
Speaker A:Do some and you do it right.
Speaker A:Yay.
Speaker A:And then sometimes you mess some up, but it's your house, so it's like, you know, that's what it is.
Speaker C:And that's what my thing is.
Speaker C:When I feel like sometimes the pride thing comes into it.
Speaker C:It's like, you know what I'm not going to do?
Speaker C:I go fuck up my shit.
Speaker A:Like, oh, yeah.
Speaker C:If I'm truly clueless on how to do something, like, somebody else going to have to do this, man.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:I mean, I might try to take it as a learning opportunity where, like, look, I want to see how it's done, but, like, I ain't about to just be like, oh, I saw a YouTube video and it seems pretty easy.
Speaker C:Like, I mean, sure.
Speaker C:But if I still don't really feel comfortable with it, like, nah, man, I ain't about to be out here for up my.
Speaker C:Because then it's more expensive to fix your up.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:I haven't messed too much stuff up.
Speaker A:You know, the biggest thing I think I've learned, which is scary, is, you know, living in apartments for a long time.
Speaker A:I really didn't put a whole bunch of stuff up.
Speaker A:And I did that more on purpose than anything else.
Speaker A:But it's just like, you know, you got to make sure you find the right places to hang things.
Speaker A:Like, I have a.
Speaker A:Like, if you look up here, you know, I gotta.
Speaker A:I got a rack, you know, that was a couple times going.
Speaker A:I had to make sure I find the right place because you can't put it in drywall.
Speaker A:That bitch gonna fall.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:He had to find a stud line.
Speaker A:So I've had to learn things like that because once again, I think one of the biggest reasons why I moved so much is because I've always wanted to do certain things.
Speaker A:But then I realized this don't belong to me.
Speaker A:So eventually I just become unhappy there because I can't do some things I want to do.
Speaker A:Now I'm in a place where I can.
Speaker A:I could do whatever I want to do.
Speaker A:And so I take that time to do that.
Speaker A:Now, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker A:Like, I've tested myself in a couple different ways and realized that, hey, man, you need some help?
Speaker A:I got the help and it got done.
Speaker A:You know, there are a couple other things I'm looking at doing, you know, to the yard and stuff like that.
Speaker A:But yeah, you know, I think what I've realized is there are certain things I probably can do and build.
Speaker A:But you're right, Moby.
Speaker A:What I'm not trying to do is mess up and waste a bunch of money.
Speaker A:So I've decided to take a different route on a couple decisions.
Speaker A:So I was.
Speaker A:I really wanted to build a deck, like, partially because I'm to save some money.
Speaker A:But the.
Speaker A:The experience of building would be fun.
Speaker A:But then I've.
Speaker A:I think I've steered away from that.
Speaker A:There's part of my yard in the back that doesn't really grow grass.
Speaker A:So I think I'm a build something on top of that, you know, and that's not too hard and stuff like that.
Speaker A:It's just I gotta get it done and I gotta make sure I have everything prepared, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker A:So I think that's gonna be a project for me.
Speaker A:That way I can entertain in the backyard, stuff like that.
Speaker A:But yeah, you know, we'll see.
Speaker A:We'll see how that goes.
Speaker A:Yes, Scott.
Speaker A:No, everything's good, man.
Speaker A:I appreciate you.
Speaker A:Hope everything's good.
Speaker A:And you and your family as well, you know.
Speaker A:And Brent say he worked at two home improvement stores.
Speaker A:Hey, you know what, man?
Speaker C:Gotta help you get some done.
Speaker A:That's right.
Speaker A:But more importantly, at the end of it, he also got a bunch of people.
Speaker A:How you doing, Kate?
Speaker A:Same, same.
Speaker A:It's been a minute.
Speaker A:Been a minute.
Speaker A:But yeah.
Speaker A:So when it's all said, and I think that in our lives we are going to be one or the other, sometimes we could be a little bit of both.
Speaker A:It really just depends on what, like, we are dealing with.
Speaker C:You know, I think most guys are a little bit of both.
Speaker C:Most guys, Yeah.
Speaker A:I mean, I don't mind putting stuff together in the crib.
Speaker A:Like I've Done a lot of that.
Speaker A:Desk, bed, stuff like that, so that's cool.
Speaker A:I think for me, it's more the outside stuff, like, dealing with power tools, that ain't my play.
Speaker A:So, like, I need somebody else to help me with that.
Speaker A:But, I mean, yeah, we, you know, just will get it done.
Speaker A:You know, I have become more of a do it yourselfer, though, you know?
Speaker A:And I think literally, it's because.
Speaker A:Because I have a house now and I own a house, and it's like, hey, you know, if you do it yourself, you mess it up.
Speaker A:That's kind of on you.
Speaker A:But if you do it yourself and mess up at somebody else's place, that's really on you.
Speaker A:So, you know, the financial part always becomes an issue.
Speaker A:Well, sweet, man.
Speaker A:What's on your mind, Moby?
Speaker C:And so I wanted to talk about, like, the Trump thing, but I think we've exhausted that.
Speaker C:But truly, what's really on my mind, man, is, like, just bragging like, my.
Speaker C:My oldest daughter last weekend won Virginia or the Richmond Youth Laureate Poet.
Speaker A:Yeah, you tell us about that.
Speaker C:Yeah, but.
Speaker C:But, I mean, like, she's, like, even deeper in it now, man.
Speaker C:Like, so it's just.
Speaker C:It's really awesome to see her, like, because now she's, you know, she's a affirmation person, too, so she got a little use for it.
Speaker C:So now it's like, I need another fix of that.
Speaker C:Like, people saying I'm good at something.
Speaker C:So now she's just all about it, and I'm.
Speaker C:I'm all for it, man.
Speaker C:Like, and in a world where, like, I can get so bogged down with just, like, stupidity, like, you know, what goes on in our White House and politics and shit, it's cool to just, you know, I understand why people was just like, hey, man, if you take care of home, you can find happiness.
Speaker C:Because, like, you know, the more.
Speaker C:The more I see my kids, like, excel, the easier it is for me to deal with.
Speaker C:With, like, the stupidity that goes on in the world.
Speaker C:It also makes me sad for them because I'm just like, you know, what the.
Speaker C:Are we leaving, y'?
Speaker C:All?
Speaker C:Because we.
Speaker C:We.
Speaker C:We have just.
Speaker C:We've just a whole bunch of up, and we're just hoping that y' all can fix it, which really is unfair.
Speaker C:But, I mean, hey, man, children are our future, man.
Speaker C:Go out there and be great.
Speaker C:I. I guess that's all we're telling them.
Speaker C:Like, you know, we believe in you.
Speaker A:We got you.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Because we sure as fuck couldn't do it.
Speaker C:Like, look what we voted in the White House.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Don't.
Speaker C:Don't trust us.
Speaker C:Please be better than us.
Speaker C:Because we trust.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:Because we obviously don't know what the hell we're doing.
Speaker A:That's the affirmation for your ass right there.
Speaker C:I'm just saying, because when we were younger, we were like.
Speaker C:I don't know.
Speaker C:I'll speak for myself.
Speaker C:When I was younger, I wanted, like, people like my grandma and people of that age to, like, be, like, proud and be like, hey, I really see myself in you.
Speaker C:And now I look at the kids, and I'm just like, I hope I don't see none of us in y', all, because we are the problem.
Speaker C:We are the problem.
Speaker A:I mean, can't.
Speaker A:Can't sit here and call you a lie on that.
Speaker C:Yeah, man.
Speaker C:So like I said, man.
Speaker C:Man, like, just, you know, I. I'm.
Speaker C:I'm blessed and.
Speaker C:And fortunate to have, like, kids that like me.
Speaker C:And I. I'll.
Speaker C:I'll say me.
Speaker C:I just.
Speaker C:I'm a participant.
Speaker C:But the real person that's poured all the love into them is my wife.
Speaker C:But I'm just glad that, like, they're way more like her and they're, like, their desire to do good than they are, like, me.
Speaker C:Not saying that I'm a terrible person, but, like, I won out here trying to save the world.
Speaker C:Like, and they got a lot of, like, I want to make the world a better place, and I got a lot of that's a lot of none of my business in me.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:Like, I'm good to those who are close to me, but, like, they're good to everybody.
Speaker C:And, you know, it's those days, I'm.
Speaker C:I'm just not.
Speaker C:I.
Speaker C:It's.
Speaker C:It's a character flaw, I guess.
Speaker C:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker C:I'm not, like, the person that's like, hey, hey, I want to be great and save everybody.
Speaker C:I'm like, nah, man.
Speaker C:Like, I'm my circle.
Speaker C:Like, I take care now.
Speaker C:I'm not.
Speaker C:I won't let nothing bad happen to you if I can help it.
Speaker C:But, like, you know, my girls are truly amazing people that go out of their way to make everybody else life better.
Speaker C:And I'm just like, I don't know what I did to deserve it, but it's cool to see it.
Speaker C:It's cool to see how much of a fail you are.
Speaker C:Failure you are.
Speaker C:Are through your kids.
Speaker C:Because I'm just like, that's so much better.
Speaker C:Than me.
Speaker C:They're so much better than me.
Speaker A:But aren't they supposed to be there?
Speaker A:No, that's.
Speaker C:That's the goal.
Speaker C:That's the goal for everything.
Speaker C:I want them to be better than me, but, like, I can't even, like, front and try to take credit for it, because I'm just like, nah, y' all just.
Speaker C:I don't know where y' all got it from.
Speaker C:Y' all just better than me.
Speaker C:And I'm glad.
Speaker C:Like, y' all are my redemption.
Speaker C:Y' all are my redemption.
Speaker C:That's all I was on my mind, man.
Speaker C:I got.
Speaker C:I got amazing kids that, like, one day somebody's gonna tell the story of me, and it's going to be good because of them.
Speaker A:I hear that.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker A:Yeah, man.
Speaker A:Sky and Kate told you to teach your children to love and not to judge.
Speaker C:I mean, that's.
Speaker C:First of all, that's.
Speaker C:That's one thing I'm good at.
Speaker C:I don't be judging nothing.
Speaker C:Like, I got my opinions, but the judges, like, nah, man.
Speaker C:I got a lot of strong opinions on things, but, like, judgment not really coming for you, boy.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Awesome.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker A:All right, well, so my mind's very simple.
Speaker A:Like, I am.
Speaker A:You know, everybody, if you've been listening to the show for a minute, everybody knows that your boy is still dealing with what situation.
Speaker A:And I guess I really haven't talked about it in a while, so here goes.
Speaker A:Had a pretty small surgery on a couple.
Speaker A:Couple weeks ago.
Speaker A:They put something on top of it to accelerate the growth for whatever reason that.
Speaker A:That name, the word of it, I can't remember right now.
Speaker C:Graph Skin.
Speaker A:Graph.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker A:So they did that.
Speaker A:They sewed it to my foot, and so it was there for two weeks and stuff, and somehow they sew it to my foot.
Speaker A:But I was.
Speaker A:Was able to, unfortunately, like, well, my.
Speaker A:My bandage came off, and it came with.
Speaker A:So there's that.
Speaker A:It didn't hurt because Neuropathy, man.
Speaker A:You know, I'm not gonna front.
Speaker A:It sucks until it does it, but it still sucks, right?
Speaker A:The one thing I could definitely say, because I had neuropathy in my foot, I have felt almost nothing in the past two years about the pain that's been probably happening on my foot.
Speaker A:So, you know, is it a good thing?
Speaker A:Not really.
Speaker A:Sometimes it is, though, so thank you for that.
Speaker A:Even though I still get the phantom pain, which is.
Speaker A:It's interesting when you don't have two small toes, but every once in a while, you feel like you have two small toes.
Speaker A:I don't really understand how that works, but it is what it is.
Speaker A:So went to the doctor last Wednesday, checked it out.
Speaker A:He said it looks real good clean.
Speaker A:So I asked him, I was like, so how long?
Speaker A:I mean, what are we talking about?
Speaker A:He said it shrunk down considerably.
Speaker A:It's 2x4 now.
Speaker A:I believe the word is centimeters.
Speaker A:So it's pretty small now, apparently.
Speaker A:So, you know, I was like, so, what's up?
Speaker A:He's like, well, honestly, ask me next week.
Speaker A:He put another skin graph on it and they put a soft cast on it like they always do because I can't stop walking.
Speaker A:And he was saying six weeks.
Speaker A:So, like, in June, this could be all over, which I'm super excited about.
Speaker A:Almost a two year journey, actually.
Speaker A:Over a two year journey of healing my feet.
Speaker A:So right now we're just doing what we got to do.
Speaker A:We're keeping stuff together where, where there's light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker A:I, you know, I'm excited for it.
Speaker A:However, I'm not out here doing crazy.
Speaker A:Even though I did do yard work today, that's about normal.
Speaker A:I'm still not walking.
Speaker A: I probably do about: Speaker A:So it's not like I'm out here like, you know, doing like 8,000, 10,000 steps while I'm outside.
Speaker A:Nope, nope.
Speaker A:Part of me is still lazy.
Speaker A:And so that's a benefit.
Speaker A:But yeah, six weeks.
Speaker A:There's our top.
Speaker A:There's our countdown.
Speaker A:So super excited about that.
Speaker A:I can sit here and dwell on the couple surgeries, the two lost toes, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker A:But you know what?
Speaker A:When it's all said and done, I'm still here and I walk fine.
Speaker A:You know, you don't need, you know, five toes to walk fine.
Speaker A:The whole rain thing is left to be decided, but that's because I'm fat.
Speaker A:And so we're, we're working on that too.
Speaker A:But yeah, six weeks.
Speaker A:So I'm hoping, I'm hoping six weeks, I can give a better, you know, I can celebrate a little bit.
Speaker A:So I'm happy for that because I literally told my doctor.
Speaker A:I was like, I really want my summer this year.
Speaker A:And he was like, I'm gonna try to give you back your summer.
Speaker A:So I thought that was dope.
Speaker A:Good guy.
Speaker A:Like, you know, two years, you kind of get to know some people.
Speaker C:But.
Speaker A:The only thing I can say right now, I'm happy.
Speaker A:I'm happy.
Speaker A:Light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker A:We're gonna get there.

Speaker A:The Five Minute Warning.
Speaker E:So I'm gonna scream into the void for a second.
Speaker E:And I know I'm preaching to the choir here, guys, I know it.
Speaker E:But I've been getting a lot more comments from MAGA trolls being like, obama was so divisive.
Speaker E:You don't want to acknowledge the fact that Obama was so divisive.
Speaker E:Obama was black.
Speaker E:That's what was so divisive.
Speaker E:I just, I think we need to acknowledge that.
Speaker E:I think it's time.
Speaker E:He wasn't tweeting pictures of himself as Jesus.
Speaker E:He wasn't threatening entire civilizations.
Speaker E:He was just black.
Speaker E:Thank you.
Speaker D:I am so fucking tired of white.
Speaker C:Men cosplaying the apocalypse.
Speaker D:The only fucking reason why we needed the goddamn Voting Rights act in the first place is because of white men.
Speaker D:I don't care that you don't fucking see the value in it.
Speaker D:Neither did your great grandfather.
Speaker D:And that's the fucking reason we have got passed in the fucking 60s.
Speaker D:I am tired of it.
Speaker D:I'm tired of fucking pretending that the motherfuckers responsible for us needing it aren't alive.
Speaker D:They're alive.
Speaker D:And you call them grandma.
Speaker D:So no, white boy.
Speaker D:I don't care what the fuck you think about the goddamn Voting Rights Act.
Speaker D:I don't care.
Speaker D:I don't care what any white person thinks about it at fucking all.
Speaker D:Because the only reason we need any of this shit is because white people needed to be told in writing not to be awful.
Speaker D:That's why you guys don't like that part.
Speaker D:But that's what laws are.
Speaker D:They're telling you not to be a piece of shit.
Speaker D:It's very weird that we have so many fucking laws surrounding race.
Speaker D:Because white men won't fucking be better.
Speaker D:They won't be better.
Speaker D:They won't do better.
Speaker D:It doesn't fucking matter what year it is.
Speaker D: In the year of our Lord: Speaker D:Because you are not different than your fucking ancestors.
