She was one of those credit people that, you know, that watch, they credit all the time and they seen every time they hit it. [00:02:58] Speaker A: But, I mean, it's a little science to it or whatever, but, you know, it ain't horrible for them other than that. You've been watching anything? Well, let me see where you want to go first. Yeah. [00:03:14] Speaker B: We go, what you been watching? [00:03:16] Speaker A: It's a lot. I got a whole list. Oh, yeah, I got a whole list. [00:03:20] Speaker B: I've been watching old stuff. [00:03:21] Speaker A: Okay. [00:03:22] Speaker B: Like what Commando is that? Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Radon Chung. It's an old movie. [00:03:30] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:03:31] Speaker B: They trying to. A guy, he's killing Arnold Schwarzenegger's all his teammates from a war and all to get to Arnold Schwarzenegger. They can't get to Arnold Schwarzenegger, so they. They want Arnold Schwarzenegger to kill somebody, so they kidnap Arnold Schwarzenegger's daughter. So he's trying to get his daughter back. [00:03:53] Speaker A: Is Rayna Chung the black chick? Yeah. Okay. [00:03:56] Speaker B: And the funny thing about it, a lot of people don't know that's Cheech Chong. Cheech and Chong's daughter. [00:04:04] Speaker A: What is Chong's first name? I know Cheech is Cheech Marin or something like that. [00:04:09] Speaker B: And let's see. [00:04:11] Speaker A: Michael Chong. [00:04:14] Speaker B: Let's see. But I've been watching. That's all I've been watching. Like, old stuff. [00:04:23] Speaker A: I've been watching a lot over the past couple weeks. [00:04:26] Speaker B: I know you have. Don't. Don't bring up Tommy Chong. [00:04:30] Speaker A: Tommy Chong? Yeah, Tommy Chong. I watched. It's a show called Alien Earth. You know, the Alien movies? Yeah. [00:04:39] Speaker B: You talked about that before. [00:04:40] Speaker A: Yeah. Watch that. You ain't. You say you weren't into the aliens? [00:04:43] Speaker B: Nah. I might try it, though. [00:04:44] Speaker A: Yeah, that's good. The Magic City show. I'm a documentary. [00:04:50] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm up to the second episode. Okay. [00:04:52] Speaker A: I watched. I'm on the third episode. [00:04:54] Speaker B: How is it? Do it get better? [00:04:56] Speaker A: I mean, it's cool. What do you think it was gonna be? [00:04:58] Speaker B: Nah, I mean, I guess maybe more behind the scenes stuff of now of then. I mean, like, you know, they touch on a lot of things, but, you know, the first episode is mainly about the guy that owns it. [00:05:17] Speaker A: The second one is too. [00:05:19] Speaker B: Oh, it is. [00:05:20] Speaker A: I think the whole thing is leading up basically just leading up to now. Cuz back when it started, it wasn't like no cell phones. A lot of people didn't have video cameras. So that behind the scenes stuff is a lot of it. I don't think they really. [00:05:34] Speaker B: It's put together good. Yeah, I like it. [00:05:37] Speaker A: Surprisingly. I never been to Magic City, but where it is, it's like a. A Greyhound bus station. And it's like right across from, like, you can see it at the bus station, like when you're at the bus station. [00:05:51] Speaker B: So they get a lot of dancers. [00:05:52] Speaker A: There, but I mean, the dancers at Magic City, though, they the top. Top of the line. So it ain't like bullshit dancers, like, you know what I'm saying? Magic City and Onyx in Atlanta probably had, like, the best looking. Like, your body gotta be right. Like it ain't no. You know what I'm saying? They had, like, the best looking that I ever seen at a strip club back when I was. [00:06:12] Speaker B: You know, I went to Magic City once. You did? But I didn't go in. Everybody was outside. It was a parking lot full of. [00:06:18] Speaker A: People and food and stuff out there. [00:06:21] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:06:22] Speaker A: They had no grill man out there, I don't think. [00:06:25] Speaker B: I don't know. It probably was. You know, it was down south. [00:06:27] Speaker A: Yeah. They say the food at Magic City good. The Waynes real good. [00:06:32] Speaker B: A lot of people say horrible. What'd you say? [00:06:37] Speaker A: Mine does. Yours sounds wonderful. [00:06:39] Speaker B: Yeah, it all sounds. [00:06:40] Speaker A: I don't know what's going on. It sounded right before. Okay, see, that's better. [00:06:44] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. You turned me down. [00:06:46] Speaker A: Yeah, I did. [00:06:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:48] Speaker A: Trying to figure out the sweet spot. [00:06:53] Speaker B: Yeah. We working with IT people. [00:06:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:56] Speaker B: This is just a little quick setup we did. [00:07:00] Speaker A: I'm on episode three. It's all right. It's talking. How far are you? [00:07:08] Speaker B: On episode two, they had just finished talking to his wife. That's on one. Nelly had just came up. [00:07:17] Speaker A: On two. [00:07:18] Speaker B: No, on one. [00:07:19] Speaker A: On one. [00:07:20] Speaker B: Yeah. I think they just tapped into bmf. [00:07:25] Speaker A: You might be on episode three. Cause on the episode, I just got into it a little bit, and he was talking about how he got. He got accused of running a drug ring. [00:07:40] Speaker B: The owner? [00:07:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:41] Speaker B: Nah, I didn't get to that. Dude. [00:07:43] Speaker A: Yeah, not far. I don't remember BMF being on the first episode. Maybe. So I was barely paying attention, and something caught my interest. So now I'm a top bad. Yeah. Yeah. But it's like you said, it is well done. [00:07:57] Speaker B: Yeah, it is. I like the interviews with the people now and stuff. Like, you know, the dance, the women. Yeah. And some of them still look pretty good, and some of them still working. [00:08:06] Speaker A: There, but just working. [00:08:08] Speaker B: Some of them still work at Magic City. [00:08:10] Speaker A: Like dancing? [00:08:11] Speaker B: Yeah, I think so. [00:08:12] Speaker A: No. [00:08:13] Speaker B: Yes. [00:08:14] Speaker A: You mean some of the people that's interviewed. [00:08:16] Speaker B: Yeah. They'll have, like, the date from when they started, and they'll say current. [00:08:21] Speaker A: Oh, okay. I ain't pay that. I know the main two women that's talking. The lady that all white. Mm. Excuse me. She. I know she ain't working. Cause she was working back then. In the 90s. [00:08:35] Speaker B: The other one that was talking about her too, who worked since the 90s, the one who was like, yeah, that girl crazy. You know? Yeah, yeah. [00:08:41] Speaker A: Them two was like. They're together. Yeah, they was tight. [00:08:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:44] Speaker A: So that's good. That's on Stars. [00:08:47] Speaker B: I gotta get back into it. Cause I forgot about it. [00:08:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:50] Speaker B: I gotta ask you something too. [00:08:51] Speaker A: Okay. [00:08:52] Speaker B: Is Harlem Back? [00:08:55] Speaker A: I don't watch it. I stopped watching it after the. Like, midway through the second season. [00:08:59] Speaker B: Oh, okay. I think it might be. [00:09:01] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't watch it. You watch it. [00:09:03] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's one of those ones. I'm so far in it. You're gonna watch it like, all right, let me see what else can happen. Because it already passed Malcolm X getting killed. And it just got. It's different now. It's real different. I wonder if they're gonna show Bumpy Johnson dying. Because the fact that if you watch it, he's sick now. What's his name? [00:09:33] Speaker A: Bumpy? [00:09:34] Speaker B: Yeah. What's the guy name? [00:09:38] Speaker A: Talking about Forest Whitaker. [00:09:39] Speaker B: Forest Whitaker. [00:09:40] Speaker A: He's sick now on the show in real life. [00:09:42] Speaker B: In real life. [00:09:43] Speaker A: He been sick, though. Yeah, yeah. They say he got a thing to where he really can't, like, get out and walk and do stuff. [00:09:50] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:09:52] Speaker A: I think he's been going on for some years. [00:09:53] Speaker B: Oh, well, it's really bad. It's real noticeable now on the show. Yeah. Cause it's like they'll have a scene, he'll be sitting down, acting another scene. They'll come back, he'll be standing but kind of leaning, and then they'll sit back down again. You won't see him walking. You won't see him, you know, moving around and stuff. It's totally different. [00:10:13] Speaker A: That's gotta be hard for the director. They're like. Yeah, you gotta do stuff where he's sitting or standing, like in one spot. He can't do no walking stuff because. [00:10:22] Speaker B: Everybody else around him is moving and stuff like that. So now they gotta like sit him in a spot. Hey, come through this door. And you know this and that. So I do like it. It's not a bad, bad show. I'm not watching it just because I'm watching it. I'm watching. Just see what happens now. [00:10:41] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know why I stopped watching that. I'm also watching. I'm watching. What's it called? I watched. So it's two Hurricane Katrina's documentaries. [00:10:55] Speaker B: Yeah, I heard about it. [00:10:57] Speaker A: I watched the one on Hulu and then I watched the one on Netflix, the one on Hulu. A couple of the same people are in. Both of them. [00:11:07] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:11:07] Speaker A: Yeah. But one of them. I mean, both of them sad. They tell the stories or whatever. But I watched both of them. Then I watched the Jussie Smollett doc. Oh, he got a doc on Netflix. Yeah. A lot of people was talking about it, and people were saying, like, we owe Jesse an apology. I heard. [00:11:24] Speaker B: I saw that. But I saw that. I thought that was a joke. [00:11:28] Speaker A: Nah. Like, I didn't know why. So, you know, they had it where, like, they were saying that the African guys were in on it and they never liked. So they could never prove that those guys were actually the ones that was there. They also couldn't. So they. They. It was like one part of it was like, it was a $3,500 check that Jesse had wrote to them, but he explained what the check was for. It was for something else, like workout services or something like that, like. Cause one of the guys was a trainer. Yeah. When they went to the guy's house to arrest them, they had, like, all these, you know, not assault rifles, but, like. Right. Because people fuck up what assault rifle really is. But, like, ARS or whatever. [00:12:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:12:15] Speaker A: Had a whole bunch of them and ammunition and stuff. [00:12:18] Speaker B: In New York. [00:12:19] Speaker A: No, this is in Chicago. Oh, yeah, this is in Chicago. It happened in Chicago. [00:12:22] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:12:25] Speaker A: But, you know, all that kind of stuff. So they. They basically didn't really prove it was the guys then. It was a. Like, I want to say cctv. Cctv, but, like, you know, security camera footage. Us two guys walking across where Jesse said he was in the area at the time. And it looked like it was white guys, but if you're looking at it, you really can't tell if there was white or black. It was that type of situation, you know what I'm saying? It was. It was weird. [00:12:54] Speaker B: So it's weird. I thought he. I thought he basically said that, you know, it was all a lie. [00:13:01] Speaker A: Who, Jesse? No, he didn't say it was all a lie. Echoing yeah, but yeah, he. He did get arrested. I mean, he did get, like, what I'm trying to say, he got. [00:13:21] Speaker B: He got parole or something, right? [00:13:22] Speaker A: No, he got jail time. [00:13:24] Speaker B: It was a. It was light. [00:13:26] Speaker A: It was like 150 days. [00:13:28] Speaker B: It was that long? [00:13:29] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:29] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:13:31] Speaker A: But then some kind of way they appealed it and they got dropped or whatever. So, yeah, it's pretty good. [00:13:36] Speaker B: You think he deserves an apology? [00:13:40] Speaker A: I don't know. Cause he never changed his statement. Like, he never changed his story or Whatever. [00:13:47] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess you're right. [00:13:48] Speaker A: Yeah, but that's all I watched this week, man. We do got an email. We got two emails. But we'll read one for this episode, read another for the next one. Yeah. [00:13:59] Speaker B: Why you looking at me? [00:14:04] Speaker A: From the homie? DJ Highstar. It's entitled DJ Highstar checks in. Say, yo, what's good, fam? Beezy, it was fun introducing you to checks this past week, bro. Can't wait for the review. L. What up, my New York brethren? Let's start off with Elle's critique of the Chance album. [00:14:27] Speaker B: It's been so long. [00:14:29] Speaker A: Since what? [00:14:30] Speaker B: Since I talked about that album. [00:14:32] Speaker A: What album? [00:14:32] Speaker B: Chance the rapper. [00:14:33] Speaker A: Oh, you listen to his album? Mm hmm. How was it? [00:14:36] Speaker B: I mean, it was weird to me. It was kind of weird. [00:14:41] Speaker A: I didn't listen to it. [00:14:44] Speaker B: I mean. Oh, he wants me to talk about it. [00:14:48] Speaker A: I mean, if it's been a long time, you don't got to. [00:14:51] Speaker B: Yeah, the first couple. I only got through the first couple songs and it was probably maybe four. Four songs I got through and it sounded like a Pharrell. [00:15:04] Speaker A: Trying to be a Pharrell album. [00:15:05] Speaker B: I don't know if Pharrell did. Had anything to do with it, but it just sounds. [00:15:09] Speaker A: Oh, it sound like something Pharrell did. [00:15:11] Speaker B: It was poppish. It wasn't. I like hip hop. Hip hop? [00:15:14] Speaker A: Uh huh. He said you sounded pretty underwhelmed with the project. Care to expound with that? Was you expounding? [00:15:27] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:15:28] Speaker A: He said I'm biased towards good music and effort and think he checked off every box. Was vulnerable about his divorce. Gave his personal perspective on deep shit like the black church and family show. Love to the traditional Chicago sound. That shit was solid. But anyways, how was the week off? I missed y' all in the rotation this week. Drake out here buying more jewelry. Lol. Went shopping in the mall kiosks for this one. Yes, he bought. Drake bought. [00:15:57] Speaker B: I saw it. [00:15:58] Speaker A: What's his name? Another Tupac chain. [00:16:01] Speaker B: Whose was it? It was. It was a certain person's, right? [00:16:07] Speaker A: Nah, I don't know. I think. [00:16:08] Speaker B: Oh, he had. Somebody made it. [00:16:09] Speaker A: I think it was another old Tupac chain that some white dude had. Oh, wow. Yeah. Cause I think people were saying it was Daz's, but Daz showed his. Showed a picture of his. [00:16:22] Speaker B: They mad, boy. They almost to the point where they looking at it like he's stealing from the culture. But if you got money. Yeah, but he. Buy what you wanna buy. [00:16:36] Speaker A: But why buy? [00:16:38] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:16:39] Speaker A: I guess if he. A fan of the culture, I guess. [00:16:41] Speaker B: I don't know. If Jay Z had, you know, you had that kind of bread where you can go and buy whatever you want. And that first Rockefeller chain came out, would you buy it? You got Basquiats behind me now. [00:16:58] Speaker A: That's art. [00:16:59] Speaker B: It's an art piece. [00:17:01] Speaker A: No, it's not. [00:17:02] Speaker B: Put it on the wall or something, man. That's Jay Z's first chain right there. [00:17:07] Speaker A: Maybe, but it's a piece. Do he be wearing them chains? [00:17:14] Speaker B: I think he started. I think he was. You know he'd be on tour. [00:17:18] Speaker A: I know he did. He bought, like, Pharrell chain and. [00:17:20] Speaker B: Yeah, I did see him wearing those. And all of Pharrell's jewelry went on. [00:17:25] Speaker A: He put it up for auction. Yeah, it went for auction for, like, some kind of charity or whatever. I think that's what it was. I don't know. [00:17:40] Speaker B: I would. If I had the money, I would. You know, I'm a collector, so I collect everything, like, so it'll fall in that rim. Like, this is hip hop's. I collect boomboxes, radios from the 80s. [00:17:54] Speaker A: There we go. I fixed it. [00:17:55] Speaker B: Yeah, you say that. [00:17:57] Speaker A: I did. I knew what it was. So I. I don't know. I don't know if I would or not. Maybe like, you know what I'm saying? If I had that kind of money, I would have, like a room with all of the hip hop stuff. That's different than wearing it. Cause the Rockefeller chain, they gave them the chain. You know what I'm saying? [00:18:19] Speaker B: But you had to get it from a certain person to get it. [00:18:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I guess Dame gave them out. [00:18:25] Speaker B: Dame. Yeah. [00:18:26] Speaker A: I don't ever remember seeing Jay unite somebody with a chain. [00:18:30] Speaker B: He did. It may have been. I know he gave Webster on stage. [00:18:39] Speaker A: I remember that. I can't remember if Jay or Dame did that. [00:18:42] Speaker B: I kind of think Jay. [00:18:44] Speaker A: I remember Jay giving Jay electronica, like the 5 percenter chain. [00:18:52] Speaker B: Oh, he did? [00:18:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:54] Speaker B: His own 5% chain. Or he had one made for him. [00:18:57] Speaker A: No, he had a big one on and he gave it to him on the side. [00:18:59] Speaker B: Yeah, that's his own. [00:19:00] Speaker A: Yeah, he gave it to him on stage that time. [00:19:02] Speaker B: That's dope. [00:19:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:04] Speaker B: I wonder if he could let him keep it. Yeah, you can't say yeah. Yeah. Cause you don't. [00:19:09] Speaker A: I never seen Jay wear it after that. [00:19:10] Speaker B: After that. Yeah. [00:19:11] Speaker A: Yeah, so. [00:19:12] Speaker B: Cause Slick Rick does the same thing. [00:19:13] Speaker A: Yeah. Slick Rick just let you borrow the shit. [00:19:15] Speaker B: Let you wear it. Yeah. Take a picture. [00:19:18] Speaker A: Yeah. That's what Wallace hate that shit. [00:19:23] Speaker B: That's a form of disrespect. [00:19:24] Speaker A: He what, getting the chain back? Nah, just like, oh, letting the nigga wear your chain. Yeah. [00:19:29] Speaker B: These niggas want to look at. On coming to America when he was like, yes, let them wear our jewelry. Let them. You know, it's almost like a. I don't know. It's kind of like a form of disrespect, I think. [00:19:45] Speaker A: Like you sunning them. [00:19:47] Speaker B: There it is. [00:19:47] Speaker A: Yeah, I feel you. [00:19:48] Speaker B: I feel you. [00:19:49] Speaker A: Beloved. [00:19:51] Speaker B: But he don't do it in that way. [00:19:53] Speaker A: No, no, he don't. He don't. Cause it was on. I know one time for sure. It was at. On the tour. The Black Back Fade. The Black Tour. [00:20:03] Speaker B: Ghostface. [00:20:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:04] Speaker B: Yeah, that was dope. [00:20:06] Speaker A: Wallace hates the. [00:20:07] Speaker B: He hates Ghostface. [00:20:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Speaking of Ghostface, you heard Ghostface album? [00:20:12] Speaker B: Of course. [00:20:12] Speaker A: How you like it? [00:20:15] Speaker B: Yoshi called me the other day about it. [00:20:17] Speaker A: He called you about it? [00:20:18] Speaker B: He called me about it. [00:20:18] Speaker A: New York ass niggas. [00:20:19] Speaker B: He called me the other day.

But it's like, when the album is. I think it's like 18 or 22 tracks on it. [00:20:36] Speaker A: It's that many. [00:20:36] Speaker B: It goes down. [00:20:37] Speaker A: It's got some skits in there, too. [00:20:39] Speaker B: It's two skits or three skrit. Three skits in it. [00:20:43] Speaker A: The pause skit.

[00:21:08] Speaker B: No, I don't mean it like that. [00:21:09] Speaker A: Looking at me. [00:21:10] Speaker B: I don't mean it like that. [00:21:13] Speaker A: He says, man, it seems like Atlanta falling apart. Rallo, Peewee, Thug, all arguing over who the biggest snitch high star. You my dog. I appreciate everything you do in the world. I'm here to tell you right now, I don't care. We don't care. We don't care. Yeah. He says, once I saw street, real street niggas trying to explain themselves to academics. I was done from all the death. Lil Kid Rich, Homie Quan, takeoff, Trouble, Bankroll, Fresh to jail time, Lucci, Rallo, Thug, et cetera. Many of our young stars are. Our young stars on the Atlanta scene were irresponsible with their success or was 300 Kevin Louser and Lil Cohen exploiting young talent. Shit is sad. Regardless, he wasn't. I don't feel like they were exploiting young talent. [00:22:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:09] Speaker A: Cause you rich. They got you rich. [00:22:13] Speaker B: You're rich. [00:22:14] Speaker A: Go be rich. But no. Y' all want to go hang out in the hood or something? [00:22:20] Speaker B: If you had money, would you hang out in the hood? [00:22:23] Speaker A: I pass by a little bit every now and then. I had a hood, you know, Some of my niggas come out there or whatever. [00:22:27] Speaker B: But you wouldn't like to, you know, pull up at, you know, at a corner, go play some cards. [00:22:37] Speaker A: Yeah, but I'd be nervous, though. I'd be nervous. But me hanging out in my hood and with my hood people is different than them niggas hood. Cause they hood niggas is destitute. My hood niggas still get money. [00:22:53] Speaker B: Okay. [00:22:54] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? [00:22:55] Speaker B: Okay. [00:22:56] Speaker A: It's a different. Like the hood is the hood and all of that, but there's levels to the hood. Shit. And them niggas. When Young Thug got on, he looked dirty. He still look dusty. [00:23:09] Speaker B: He do. [00:23:10] Speaker A: He still look dusty. [00:23:11] Speaker B: He do.

That's not the down south look. No, that's the Dusty look. It's more. Do you think I could say the same thing about New York? [00:23:32] Speaker B: Every artist that came out of Atlanta. [00:23:34] Speaker A: No. [00:23:34] Speaker B: When they came up, when they got on looked like that. [00:23:38] Speaker A: 2 Chainz looked like that when he came. [00:23:40] Speaker B: When he got on. [00:23:40] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. No, he did Ludacris look like that. Ludacris, he got on out of Atlanta. J.D. [00:23:51] Speaker B: Come on. You can't count.

[00:24:32] Speaker A: Yeah, he did. Wu Tang look dusty. [00:24:35] Speaker B: They put a new word to dust on there. [00:24:37] Speaker A: What it called? [00:24:39] Speaker B: Dust. You know, they smoke dust. [00:24:41] Speaker A: Oh, they smoke dust. Yeah, yeah. Dusty Redman. [00:24:44] Speaker B: Redman definitely was Dust. [00:24:45] Speaker A: Dusty, Dusty.

[00:24:57] Speaker B: So is there a. Can you look dusty? Is it dusty or just grungy? Which one? [00:25:05] Speaker A: Dusty. Grungy. That's synonymous. [00:25:06] Speaker B: Same thing. [00:25:07] Speaker A: Yeah, that's the same thing to me. [00:25:10] Speaker B: So Onyx was dusty. You probably don't remember them, bro. [00:25:16] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm too young. There was grungy. Yes, there was less dusty, but more grunge. Kind of like rock grunge. [00:25:26] Speaker B: Nah. You think about that slam video or something like that? I'm talking about throw your guns on. Throw your guns on. Come on, man. The fatigues on, they still look a. [00:25:33] Speaker A: Little naughty by nature. Look rugged but not dusty. Nah. [00:25:44] Speaker B: I don't know. Cause I don't care who you are, if you got a damn vest on with no shirt underneath it, you look dusty. [00:25:50] Speaker A: Did Tupac look dusty? Shirt. I mean, no shirt vest. [00:25:55] Speaker B: No shirt vest. Eh, that's argument right there. [00:25:59] Speaker A: I didn't think. I didn't think Tretch looked dusty. He didn't look dusty. He looked rugged. He just looked rugged. [00:26:04] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Rugged and dusty is two different things. [00:26:07] Speaker A: Yeah, that's two different things. Yeah. So, yeah, Trick Daddy didn't look dusty, but he looked like he came from poverty. [00:26:17] Speaker B: Trick Daddy, I don't know. He looked like a regular hood nigga. [00:26:20] Speaker A: Like back then. [00:26:22] Speaker B: Yeah, the earlier videos. [00:26:24] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah. He had the polo and the gold teeth. [00:26:27] Speaker B: Yeah, it's the teeth. That's what it is. [00:26:30] Speaker A: Probably is the teeth. Probably is the teeth. [00:26:32] Speaker B: The orangish gold teeth. Yeah, yeah. The juvenile brass looking. [00:26:37] Speaker A: Oh, God, them niggas look. Yeah, them niggas was definitely. Even though he was shining in that video, he still looked dusty. He said, brothers need to learn how to regulate their emotions better. We need higher, higher. L. Emotional. Oh, higher. Ei, that's. I. Emotional intelligence. I think men, specifically black, straight men, are allowed to have two emotions they can associate with angry or. We straight. How you do? How you doing, hot star? I'm straight. How. How you doing, bro? I'm straight, bro. What y' all think? I'm headed to work. Wanted to get this out before it's too late. Have a good show. Thank you, hotstar. That's the. It's. Well, I guess I'm straight with falling to the happy, but you can't really act too happy when you Young and black. So I kind of agree with that. But you just need to, like, when people having fun, just let people have fun, especially, like, black people. And that way the younger people can see older black people having a good time, and they'll know how to do that. And then maybe they'll go into, like, other avenues as far as, like, emotions and stuff like that. [00:27:45] Speaker B: Who do you think get carried away more? Females or men? Like, showing happiness? [00:27:51] Speaker A: Like, showing happiness? [00:27:52] Speaker B: Yeah, like you had a club and like, yo, they tell them to chill. [00:27:56] Speaker A: Out over there, happy. And I don't. [00:28:00] Speaker B: Is it females with twerking on each other or the guys? [00:28:03] Speaker A: Nah, that's all. That's for sure. So I don't really. Showing happiness in the club. I don't really. I don't really associate that. Cause twerking on your homegirls and a lot of that shit, for sure. Loud. Hey, yeah, yeah. All that shit be to get people to look at you. [00:28:22] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? [00:28:24] Speaker A: Niggas throwing money in the club. That just for you people to look at you. You buying a bottle, and you want the bottle girls to have the sparklers and all of that. That shit goofy to me. [00:28:33] Speaker B: Oh, my God. I got. I ain't gonna get into that stuff. [00:28:37] Speaker A: That's goofy to me. [00:28:38] Speaker B: So I was in front of a club one night. The guy, even to this day, I referred to him as I should buy a bottle. [00:28:48] Speaker A: Oh, God. [00:28:49] Speaker B: He's standing outside the club. I'm standing outside with my man. [00:28:53] Speaker A: Mm. [00:28:55] Speaker B: Yo, man, I think I should buy a bottle. He's not talking to us. He's just, like, talking out loud. Cause I don't really rock with him anyway. He cornered me. Yo, I think I should buy a bottle. I should go in there and buy a bottle. Walking around, pacing around, pacing around. [00:29:10] Speaker A: We look like, who we talking to? [00:29:12] Speaker B: This nigga talking to. So he stops. Cause you see, we not like, oh, yeah, ladies come. Yeah, man, I should buy a bottle. I should go in there and buy a bottle. You see this young man all the time too. [00:29:31] Speaker A: Is he broke? [00:29:33] Speaker B: He ain't broke, but he be fronting a lot. He's the type that. Nah, I guess. [00:29:38] Speaker A: Tell me off mic. [00:29:39] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, I'll tell you. [00:29:40] Speaker A: Tell me off mic. [00:29:41] Speaker B: Who this is not too far from here, too. Right down the road. But either way, he's the type that has like five or six keychains on his key ring just to say, yo, I got a Bentley. This guy walked around the barbershop showing his Bentley key to everybody, telling the Story about it. [00:30:00] Speaker A: I think I know who you talking about. [00:30:01] Speaker B: I think you might have been there that time too. [00:30:06] Speaker A: I ain't want to ask no more questions. I ain't ask no more questions. [00:30:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I just don't like that. [00:30:10] Speaker A: High Star sent another email about food spot list, about his favorite food spot. [00:30:16] Speaker B: Okay. [00:30:16] Speaker A: And I'mma review his. The spot he took me when I went up to Charlotte the other week. Oh, that's another thing. [00:30:22] Speaker B: So you met up with him? [00:30:23] Speaker A: Yeah, met up, went to his spot. He's like, yeah, man. Cause I was gonna go to this other spot, but I got in town kind of late. It's called Egg Roll Company. I've been there before. [00:30:31] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I know. [00:30:32] Speaker A: And they got. They got some good egg. No, I went and they closed the line. They supposed to close at 8, but they closed the line at 7:30. So I got there at 7:30. They just closed the line. So he was like, yeah, man, come uptown and go to this spot or whatever. So I went to the spot. And I'll give my review on Wednesday's episode. [00:30:51] Speaker B: Okay. [00:30:51] Speaker A: All right. Okay, let's see. So we. And I'll read his other email then too. Guess we get into some news of the week. Did you know there was a. There's a. There was a mass shooting this week? [00:31:08] Speaker B: Yeah, church. [00:31:09] Speaker A: Yeah, at the church in Minnesota. Minneapolis. [00:31:12] Speaker B: They kept it quiet. They kept it quiet. [00:31:15] Speaker A: I don't even think they kept it quiet. I just think nobody just really. Because I saw it on CNN and stuff like that, but nobody's talking about it. [00:31:21] Speaker B: See, but when you see it on CNN and stuff like that, that's during the day, like this. Working people. That's at home. I don't think they play that after. [00:31:30] Speaker A: No, I'm saying it's like. I'm not saying, like I saw it on cnn, but it's on all of the major news outlets. [00:31:37] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:31:38] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? [00:31:38] Speaker B: During the daytime, right? [00:31:40] Speaker A: Well, I don't know. I'm just saying it's on all the major news outlets. So to say it's being kept quiet or everybody hush, hush about it. I don't think that's the case. I just think people just don't care no more. [00:31:49] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:31:50] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? Like, it's. So it was a guy. Well, they say the person was trans, went to school Wednesday, killed two young children and wounded 15 more. The suspect's name was Robin Westman and said they had like, somebody that went to school with him in like, elementary and Stuff said they used to idolize Hitler and. [00:32:19] Speaker B: Oh, that's crazy. [00:32:20] Speaker A: Had a whole bunch of guns. Say they had a video manifesto that was online and all kind of stuff. But I ain't heard, like, at work. I ain't heard nobody talk about it. [00:32:29] Speaker B: I only. It came up one time at your job. That's just because a lot of work I'm in. [00:32:33] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Cause you. [00:32:34] Speaker B: Yeah, you know, they talk about, you know, anything like that happens. They talk about that kind of stuff. [00:32:39] Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah. I didn't. I didn't. I saw the article. I saw a couple people like, mentioning on, like, what was it on Threads, but for the most part. And it was like people talking about how, like, the number of people that have killed, like the mass shootings. The number of people that were trans. Oh, yeah. So I saw that and I was like, damn, that's crazy. But then it was like people like, well, these are the number of people that weren't trans that killed a whole bunch of people or whatever. So that's crazy. Yeah, very crazy. [00:33:17] Speaker B: I don't think I could do that. I definitely can't. [00:33:19] Speaker A: What, do a mass shoot? [00:33:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:20] Speaker A: No. Hell no. [00:33:22] Speaker B: Like, I. Yeah, I couldn't do it. I wouldn't do it. Let me say that. [00:33:28] Speaker A: Well, that's great. I'm glad you could. [00:33:32] Speaker B: I've been kicked out of better places than this. [00:33:35] Speaker A: That was really the. What else. Anything else happened this week? [00:33:39] Speaker B: Nah. Well, this week and last week, none. I mean, none flew under my radar. I mean, little stuff, but I don't. I didn't go to verify it because, you know, a lot of that stuff would be on social media. You'd be like, I wonder if this is real? So sometime I go and check. But I ain't even go check on some of the stuff that I've seen. [00:33:57] Speaker A: I do. I did see people kind of like talking about the tariffs. [00:34:03] Speaker B: I think some of that fake. I think some people putting their price up for no reason. [00:34:07] Speaker A: Oh, no shit. About to get real. Cause he slapped Trump, put a 50% tariff on India. So, like, if you get like, clothes and stuff like that. Cause a lot of, like the cheap clothes that people make, they get that stuff from India. [00:34:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:26] Speaker A: So a lot of that stuff about to cost more. [00:34:28] Speaker B: That's crazy. Cause a couple weeks ago I was at the cigar lounge. Well, cigar store. And the lady was changing prices as we speak. [00:34:38] Speaker A: Really? [00:34:38] Speaker B: Talk about the tariff. I was like, on the cigars. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I remember, like, say three weeks ago, a scar. Might have been a certain one. Might have been like 12. It's up to 15 now. But I was. That's what I'm saying. I think. I think they just pushing it up, like, trying to. [00:34:58] Speaker A: But that's how happened, though, because I. The cigar person who own our store, they may not be directly affected by the tariff. [00:35:10] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:35:11] Speaker A: But somebody else that they use is directly affected. So what that does is they have to raise their prices. Cause somebody was like, yeah, it was something I was watching. It was like how inflation works. Like, let's say, like you own a car business or something like that. You own whatever. You go to the doctor. You used to pay $100 to go to the doctor. Your doctor raised your prices from $100 to $120. Instead of you just eating that price of $120, you just raise your prices. Or your car, you sell into whatever you sell. Now the consumer, they not knowing they paying more just because you had to pay $20 more for your doctor bill. You know what I'm saying? Shit like that. But this is even past that. [00:35:59] Speaker B: That's crazy. Cause most of the cigars that I smoke or something like that, they'll come from damn Colombia or something. They don't even. [00:36:06] Speaker A: Colombia the country. Yeah. [00:36:08] Speaker B: They're not coming from India or anything like that, but who knows? It could have been a shipping container that was in or something. I don't know. [00:36:15] Speaker A: Yeah, that's crazy. But, yeah, Everything about to go up. Start selling dope. [00:36:21] Speaker B: Okay. [00:36:22] Speaker A: Even the dope price is probably about to go up, of course. Yeah. So everybody thinking it's just china, you know, the Shein packages or the sheen. What's the other one? That was before Shein. That women used to get their clothes from? [00:36:37] Speaker B: Fashion Nova. [00:36:38] Speaker A: Fashion Nova. I couldn't remember that. I was talking to somebody. I couldn't remember that. For the world. Yeah. Fashion Nova. It ain't gonna just be them. It's just. It's gonna be a whole lot of other stuff. So. Yeah, like, I ain't. It wasn't really no. No news. All I did was watch a lot of tv. [00:36:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I didn't see too much. You know, what I watched last night was that. I don't mean to backtrack. [00:37:04] Speaker A: Go ahead, flip back. [00:37:07] Speaker B: What's the name of that show, Blackish? The Prince episode. [00:37:13] Speaker A: The Prince episode. [00:37:14] Speaker B: Did you see that? Go on the app and type in. [00:37:19] Speaker A: Tell me about it. [00:37:20] Speaker B: Like, they're trying to get the two young ones, you know, they don't like the music they like. So they was like, who's Prince? And you know, they try to. What, you don't know who Prince is? They broke it down like the way they did it was like each one would do a Prince song. They'd do the video and everything. [00:37:39] Speaker A: Oh, they did the video. [00:37:40] Speaker B: The whole episode was like. [00:37:41] Speaker A: Which is them doing Prince video? [00:37:42] Speaker B: Prince stuff. Yeah. [00:37:43] Speaker A: Word, word. The best one of that episode. I mean a Blackish and I might have to go on Hulu and check it out, but the best. Nope, not that one. They did a cartoon with the roots, I think. [00:37:58] Speaker B: The roots. [00:37:58] Speaker A: But it was like a history lesson and the whole thing was a cartoon. [00:38:02] Speaker B: Oh, for real? [00:38:02] Speaker A: That was a good one. Yeah, that was a real good one. Let's see, let's see. That's better. [00:38:05] Speaker B: Yeah, I know it's better. [00:38:06] Speaker A: I wonder why. No echo. That's crazy. [00:38:13] Speaker B: Shout out to the sound man on this week's episode. [00:38:15] Speaker A: Yeah, the sound man is working extra hard. Yeah, he'll figure it out though. He gonna figure this thing out. [00:38:23] Speaker B: He gonna get it right for next week. [00:38:24] Speaker A: Yeah, for next episode.

This week our scammer is some church people. [00:39:28] Speaker B: Oh, I knew it. I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. [00:39:31] Speaker A: How you know? [00:39:32] Speaker B: Cause they always scamming. Yeah, they are sending that basket around five times. Shoot. Don't get me started. [00:39:40] Speaker A: Why you send me something in the middle of the episode? [00:39:44] Speaker B: I know you got a one track mind. You know. [00:39:49] Speaker A: It says church leaders arrested in multi state money laundering forced labor investigation. Two church leaders have been arrested in an alleged multi million dollar conspiracy after multiple FBI raids. It's crazy. I saw FB and thought Facebook FBI raids across the country on Wednesday morning including one in Hillsborough County's Lucife Villa neighborhood. So Michelle Brannon, 56, was arrested at a mansion near Tampa, While David Taylor, 53, was arrested in North Carolina. According to the Department of Justice, Taylor and Brandon are leaders of Kingdom of God Global Church, formerly known as Joshua Media Ministries. Taylor referred himself as Apostle and to Brandon as his executive director. They alleged that they ran call centers in Florida, Texas, Missouri, and Michigan to solicit donations to the church. They convinced their victims to work at the call centers and work for Taylor as personal servants, referred to as armor bearers, for long hours without pay. [00:41:04] Speaker B: We got em. We got em, boss. We got em. We knew it. [00:41:07] Speaker A: Federal investigators say Taylor and Brandon control every aspect of the daily living of their victims, who slept at the call center or in a ministry house and were not allowed to leave without permission. They got a word for that. The indictment also says the suspects forced the victim to transport women to Taylor and ensure that those women took Plan B emergency contraceptives. [00:41:30] Speaker B: Oh, that's crazy. [00:41:31] Speaker A: Yep. The church received about $50 million in donations through his call centers dating back to 2014.
