From Cornhole Leagues to Aging Politicians: A Diverse Analysis
We've got an episode that's as diverse as our own experiences in a cutthroat cornhole league. Talking everything from the need for younger leaders in politics to the viral video of an Alabama boat incident, we tackle it all head-on. But that's just the start, we're also unpacking the impact of the late rapper Magoo and the confusion around Pirate - his one-eyed lookalike.
Did you know that Trump has 10 million dollars' worth of mugshot merch? We're examining this and the wider implications of social media censorship. We also delve into some heavyweight fashion discussions - scrutinizing the iconic style choices of Diddy, Trump, and more. Plus, we're diving into the topic of age limits for politicians and their accountability, getting real about the current crop of aging leaders and the need for fresh, youthful energy.
We're wrapping up the episode with a thought-provoking exploration of gender neutrality and sexuality on the wake of the redacted Obama letters. We discuss the potential challenges that a gay president might face and whether we're ready for a Latino, atheist, or female president. Lastly, we entertain some conspiracy theories about government alcohol regulations and speculate how cities known for their beer consumption would react to a two-beer limit. So, buckle up, because this episode has it all.
Other Topics Discussed:
- Politicians pardoning people in return for endorsements
- Did Lil Wayne pay Donald Trump to get him out of jail?
- Jeff suspended from X bka Twitter

Yo, yo, I found aunt. Yo, my man was missing for weeks and he's back. What up, aunt?
Speaker 2:Wasn't fucking lost. Man Fuck I was here.
Speaker 1:I wasn't lost. You wasn't responding to messages to text with phone calls phone calls I don't call people and I called you.
Speaker 2:No, I'm like damn, you have a whole ass wife, a whole ass kid. I'm third on that to-do list.
Speaker 1:Don't worry about me, I'm fine, all right well let the people know why we haven't recorded in a few weeks, but we're back.
Speaker 2:I'm a no teller people. Shit man, the things happen. What done? Popping like I fucking ain't gonna do this week. You know what, nothing going on. It's a little bit of shit, but nothing. But like no, we cool, we're back. In effect, hip hop is 50, everybody's here. We got white people here too, we're universal.
Speaker 1:We got my man Mikey. She in the building today's been a minute as a guest, was good here.
Speaker 3:White people in the building.
Speaker 2:It's cool, man. This is no folding chair sex until you good.
Speaker 3:Fuck, we need yeah, we need to talk about. I all I can think about in that whole shit was the Crocs that kids blown out Crocs, what we talking about, the Alabama shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I think she gets your mileage out of it before it dies down.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I feel like I haven't heard anything since there are for a couple weeks now.
Speaker 2:I feel like I Mean you don't get moments of like Black pride or whatever, like we should just get rid of Juneteenth. It's make this shit a holiday.
Speaker 3:Dude. It was awesome. I mean, just like all the ways that people edited the footage to you know Show when the dudes are all skipping their way up to to confront the dudes on the boat like it was. You know, people put so much music underneath that and it was just it's I don't know it was fucking fit to, and the guy swimming across the rip, the thing I don't know there was. It was a beautiful, it was like choreographed better than anyone could have actually choreographed it. And Crocs needs to be needs to talk about the way that those Crocs blew out with that kids feet through them in the fight.
Speaker 2:They need some fighting Crocs hmm, good old fashioned American violence man. I loved it.
Speaker 1:Yo, yo. But what has happened since last time we was on here? My man fucking my rapper, magoo died, yo, at 50 years old of age, yeah, and no cause of death is known yet. And we've made fun of Magoo on here because, although his flow was dope, like, his lyrics made no sense. You know, no, it was, he was just saying nonsense, but the shit just sounded so dope, yeah, and a lot of it was Timbo, a recent piece of my man. Well, yeah, like I never.
Speaker 2:I never necessarily a good rapper, either no he's not.
Speaker 2:He's a great producer, yeah, not a great rapper. But the whole thing with the goo is like If you're going to disregard, like his place and like hip-hop is on so full, if you thought he was corny, it's not the thing. It's like everybody has a moment where they got a kind of tell-the-story hip-hop. Yeah, it's really hard to get the like like that. Wasn't that pretty much Timbaland's? It wasn't one call it a solo album, but it was Timbaland and Magoo like this is first time getting behind the mic. He wasn't great at it, but you needed somebody like Magoo to kind of carry the shit forward and everything. I said that I appreciated what he did, but I want to trip, not about it. It's sad to hear the head of man just pass away like that and nobody knows like the cause of death I'm gonna assume is natural, but when you're down at that, age seem to Natural right right, and I know that aunt did make a couple comments through our episodes about the fact that he might be watching your windows.
Speaker 3:Maybe a may it might have been a death caused by the, the fluid that he used to wash people's windows in their cars, like that shit is carcinogenic.
Speaker 2:Like, like so when she was so it and blue, I don't trust it. Yeah, no, no, I trust it.
Speaker 3:When he came to like that orange and red shit, like nah, nah, nah, that's not when that I know this shit is this is a question I've asked on the show before, I think, but and I have not figured this out is Do we know if Magoo is also pirate? The dude who pirate was on a couple songs with like Tracy Lee and he would cover his eye and that was his whole like thing. But he had this. He looked exactly like Magoo and had the same like nasally voice. Do you guys know anything? Do you remember that dude was?
Speaker 2:I would. I would think they would have said something about that. Yeah, right.
Speaker 3:That's what I thought and it's like there's no. I've looked it up on like Wikipedia. I've never been able to find out who pirate actually is. But it's sad, it's like I thought it was. Magoo.
Speaker 2:What's your? What's your favorite? Timberland and Magoo song.
Speaker 3:Oh, it's hold on, I got it oh.
Speaker 1:It's the night, right of shit. Yeah, sardines is pork and beans. Do you know what that means? It's. Just won't stop.
Speaker 3:I like the one that uses the. It uses a sample. This me to my face. Get your sleep test out.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm, the taste slapped out. Magoo, don't know the middle, I'll be killing it for real. No, I don't know what he was saying.
Speaker 2:Oh, you sounded hard. Oh, he's a fan, fan, I got you.
Speaker 3:Oh, writing rhymes is my favorite time.
Speaker 2:Okay, so, alright, so when, when they have this whole 50 years of hip-hop thing we always think about, like all the big name artists and so on so forth, is these little contributions in between that make a big difference as well? Because, like, like said, timberland matters, but you still need guys like Magoo and things like that to go on. It's always like you know, like they don't. Okay, they're not like bookmarks in history, but they're like like Semi-colders and shit like that, like Drag-on People like that. Yeah, they were there and and know they happen. Like, was it? Like naughty by nature had like a whole bunch of random dudes. I remember song for like hangout and hustle. Oh yeah, it's a bunch of.
Speaker 3:Clown. What was that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, they just had a bunch of random ass dudes, but it like sales a catchy song and, like I said, the thing about hip-hop is that you kind of need those in between things Because it's always gonna matter for sure it's a stupid song, but you're going to remember it. So and Magoo was actually even on, I think much of him as a rapper, like his importance to that whole Virginia, timberland, missy Pharrell kind of vibe thing, like it mattered to have him there. So, more than anything, man rest in peace, yeah.
Speaker 1:Let me let you know what I was been happening with me. Sure, first of all, I don't think I've ever told you this, and, but I was in a cornhole league, I and it just reads the season, just the shit recently just finished and actually I don't think anybody that's listening right now knew new this.
Speaker 1:But yeah, I was in a cornhole league. I don't know why I joined this shit. Somebody at work, you know, convinced me to join it and I must tell you remember when I told you that I went to the hip-hop 15, it was the most diverse shit I had ever seen. Well, this is the opposite. No no, as a spore, as a league, as as a whatever the fuck. It was the most undiverse.
Speaker 3:You're saying it's all people of color.
Speaker 1:Okay, cornel's the whitest shit in the world of all time, bro, everybody there was from the mountains of Caucasus. They was from the fucking mountains of Caucasus. And you know, I Was like what the fuck am I doing here? I thought I was okay at it. I thought I was okay at it because I played it one time at a company picnic, right, wait, we had the fucking company picnic you joined the league after having played it one time.
Speaker 1:I Mean, I played it a couple of times, dude, I love fun, right? I love this, that's. I played it. But when I really played it at the company picnic I thought I was the man right, until you joined the league and you realized that every that people really do this shit.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I'm like people are so serious about it.
Speaker 1:First of all, the shit was way further from the. Two boards were way further from each other. Then, when I was playing for fun anywhere, hmm, I'm like what the fuck this shit is supposed to be 27 feet away from each other? Goddamn, so that was already an obstacle, right. And then, no disrespect to my man, but they gave me a partner. You know, because they say you have a partner, I was like nah, so I will give you one. It's like when they say you have the right to remain silent if you have an attorney. You know you have a right to an attorney. If you don't have one, will give you a fucking dumbest attorney. We can start right.
Speaker 3:A public defender, partner, shit. It was one of those situations.
Speaker 1:I hope he's not listening because I like this gentleman. But yeah, they just gave me some dude and I was like fuck and and you know, I figured, okay, if they give me somebody decent, we could, we could, we could make some noise, because I'm not trash, like I could put the shit on the board, but I'm not gonna necessarily make them in all the time. Right, but this guy was like barely making it on the board most of the time, so whatever. And it was like $50 buying in shit per person, so whatever for fucking cornhole.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know you win money at the end is not including beer.
Speaker 1:Right, you have to bring your own bills by OB. Obviously people brought beer, people was smoking people. It was a fun time. I'm not gonna say it wasn't. It was a good time. You know, the final day, the last playoff day, they ordered pizza. We, we had a good time. But what I'm saying is I ain't know what I was getting myself into and it is not a diverse sport.
Speaker 3:Very little color was going on in that fucking backyard, yeah, but anyway, yeah, there are a lot of custom there, a lot of custom-made Cornhole sets that I bet you have the Confederate flag on.
Speaker 2:Let's just say there might be a majority. I got some with Trump face no doubt new mugshot on that, but you sitting there and wonder why my ass ain't around, cuz the shit like that.
Speaker 1:That's exactly why you know, goddamn you got to diversify your portfolio, man.
Speaker 2:Hell. No, I got diversified shit in black America's hard enough as it is, the fuck's all they go into the cornhole tournament. It's my black ass up there with a bunch of white people. I'm just flinging the shit out of it like that. Oh, look at me, look at those. Negroes are also athletic. I'm throwing a fucking a sack into a hole. This ain't special.
Speaker 3:It does feel like you are fishing for a hate crime to go to a cornhole event. It's kind of you're just you're deciding to put yourself in the in the lion's den.
Speaker 2:And you can't bring the black guy, they're like oh, I bet you use athletic.
Speaker 1:No, oh, I got a hand in you bags and shit. Are you here to clean up?
Speaker 3:Are you here Are?
Speaker 1:you here to pick up.
Speaker 3:Well, and then aunt shows up and starts fucking, starts nailing the holes, and then I think people are fucking real competitive in that sport. I wouldn't necessarily Want to be the one person of color that's winning.
Speaker 2:Start rejigging the game. I'm like Over here too, because I don't mind being competitive, yeah, but it's like it has to be something that matters to me it's like cornhole is a leisure activity. For sure I fucking hate golf, right?
Speaker 3:Well, and it's like so, jeff, I built I'm not a cornhole, I barely even remember. I can never remember the name of it, I'm always like fucking sack toss, whatever it's called. But I built Cornhole boards for just to have like at our house during parties. So I'm like, oh, that's, that's fun. We got like, we got people chuck it around and so each they have one has my face on it, then the other one has Rinn's face on it, and and I was like, oh, this is fun, and like people think, because I have cornhole boards at my house, that I'm like a fucking baller and I a I disappoint anybody who comes over here wants to play cornhole because I suck at it. And then People who like come over here and they're like oh, I fucking love cornhole, they've all got techniques and they can like nail it every single time and like I'm just like everybody needs to calm the fuck down.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, they have ways of throwing this shit, oh yeah. I'm like holy shit.
Speaker 3:I'm just trying to drink in the outside, bro, I don't know, calm down.
Speaker 2:Like it's a leisure, yeah, like that's a good idea.
Speaker 3:Right and any any sport quote-unquote that you can do while you're drinking is not a sport. Sorry, golf included.
Speaker 1:Did you? Speaking of Trump's mugshot, bro? You know you heard that he made like 10 million dollars already just selling merch. For sure His mugshot on it.
Speaker 3:That's fucking insane to me and I sent Jeff a link to the to the merchandise. It's the most garbage shit. Like they didn't even do anything creative with it. They just took his stupid mugshot picture. They erased the little like sheriff logo from Georgia and then they just wrote underneath Never, what is it again? They never surrender, never surrender, but in like the dumbest font, it's just black and white and like what I texted you guys was like he surrendered.
Speaker 1:It's a mugshot but that's the you surrender what makes it look, you just surrendered yourself.
Speaker 3:But ten million dollars, dude, that's scary like it he can be. I mean, I don't know Biden's not pulling in that money with, with, without a mugshot yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know, man, but let's move on another. The other thing that I want to say that happened to me recently Was that I got suspended from Twitter, oh, now known as X. What do you have to do?
Speaker 3:to do that.
Speaker 1:DMX. Yo, apparently they said they said I was using quote-unquote violent speech. Oh, tell us more. Would you say? Thirsty, not now. I can curse with the best of them. I can mother fuck people with the best of them, right? And I've said way worse shit on that platform and Having and having gotten kicked or warned about shit you know, I've threatened people, I've called people all kinds of fucking shit, right? So this one instance, now that Elon Musk is part of the sensitive, as fucking bitch as Gen Z community, I guess, I don't know, he wants to be regularly, and every goddamn thing you say on their shit, wait, no, wasn't that his whole shit, though?
Speaker 1:Is somebody posted a video I.
Speaker 3:Thought his whole shit was that he took over it so that a kid like he could really make it about free speech.
Speaker 1:Right, well, that's bullshit, because now you got to watch what you fucking say. If you offend anybody and they report you, you get fucking banned without a warning, without a second or third chance. That's it. They kick you to fuck off. Okay, somebody post a video. Right, and you've probably seen them. I don't know how much you're online. It's like kids on like their bicycles and they're like doing one. You know, they're popping willies and they're like going through traffic and they're dodging cars and dodging people and just missing them and almost hitting people, right, yeah, and I'm like yo, what the fuck?
Speaker 1:and they're like just missing a car, like just missing. That's like their shit Now. It's like a sport to them now. And and I simply wrote on the comments I was like I would run one of these motherfuckers over, like I'll run one of them over. That's what I put. Yeah, that'll do it, that's it Next thing. You know, I don't know if it was hours later, it might have even been like a day later I try to, I try to send something and boom, it tells me your shit is suspended Indefinitely.
Speaker 1:I'm like what, if you want to appeal it? Or you know, press here. So I click here and like tell us why you want to appeal this shit. I'm like, first of all, this is my first offense. You know I apologize. You know, second of all, like yo, what the fuck? And a warning or nothing. Like I ain't even say nothing. That was that bad. But you know I apologize, give me another chance. You know I'll make it right. You know I'm saying Do. And then they respond to they were live, we're gonna review your appeal and we'll get back to you a few more hours later. They was like yeah, you know we, after further review, we've, you know, you violated Some of the terms, our terms and agreements and our rules and shit. So unfortunately you're just suspended and Definitely.
Speaker 3:I mean, dude, I get pushed. I'm like get out of, I get pushed. A lot of those videos on tiktok and stuff and it's Um, and I mean there the comment section is full of people saying things like oh, that was me, I would just run over in my truck or whatever. Yo, I mean and. I don't get any of those people are getting banned at all.
Speaker 3:I do notice on on tiktok like people will like I'm also getting pushed a fair amount of videos of people like you know, karens or whatever, going after people or like throwing something to people's house windows or stuff, and people will say pew pew, like pew pew, instead of saying I'd shoot them because they can't say that. So they sell pew pew and it's. I mean, dude, I don't know, I can't believe that they it's. It's also like I thought that that Elon Musk his whole thing was that it's a bunch of you know, it's basically social media is just a bunch of cowards now so that you can come on X and say anything you want. That's so. I guess that's not the deal.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and he a lot, and he reinstated Trump. So Trump is back tweeting and shit.
Speaker 3:You know, you know he's gonna say whatever the fuck you want fart tweet about he's gonna shit tweet about all the dumbass stuff that he wants to talk about.
Speaker 1:So so they told me so they go, you know, and don't try to make another account, because we'll suspend that one too. But fuck them. I made another account With the same exact picture that I had on the other account, but obviously different name all of that.
Speaker 1:And I was like you know what I promote my business on here? I promote my shit, my podcast and all that, so I'm gonna start. You know, I gotta be more mindful of what the fuck I post on this shit. It's hard, though, because when I see some ignorant shit, I just want to, right away, I just want to make a comment on it. You know what I mean. Like I'm just compelled right away to say some shit like fuck you, you fucking idiot, you know can ask a question?
Speaker 2:Yeah, the children that you were laughing at. Were these children white?
Speaker 1:No, they were actually black. The majority of them were black writing bicycles up and down busy streets, avoiding cars and some of them because it was like a whole video of outtakes and some of them are like bumping into people and they just keep going and but you know, cars are like beeping at them like move, get out the way. And I'm like yo, they go, they go, really cause some a big accident one day.
Speaker 2:Okay, Twitter Thanks. Thanks for standing up for the brothers. I appreciate that.
Speaker 3:Well, that's what I was kind of wondering. I'm like, is Elon Musk trying to like his acts, trying to posture like they're protecting, you know, black kids that are doing this in the videos and stuff? I mean, are they trying to kind of like? Actually like this is the Elon's way of saying I have black friends yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm showing diversity. Can't talk about black people like this right now. We call them cool.
Speaker 1:But now that I think about it, if the, if it was white kids on that video, what would the outcome have been different? Hell yeah, you think? Hell fuck yeah like what?
Speaker 2:Because the whole thing is like you know, these just kids are just being goose, you're just being mean. Now some little black kids like hold on, now we're trying to diversify our stream, right, right, I'm trying to get more Negro to like our things and we need them to know. By Twitter blue for $12 a month. We can't have this right, it's unacceptable.
Speaker 2:So so is it impossible no, not really. It's really possible that they like they got sick of your shit and we'd like all right, you know, they probably did, probably viewed all the shit you've done, right.
Speaker 3:I know enough enough, maybe in the fly for years now. Yeah, maybe he is menace. I Mean Jeff, if you want us to say if you want to get your your fix, then I have a thing that I follow called kids getting hurt, and it's an Instagram page all of the dumbass kids getting hurt. So I kind of hate watching it, but it's a yeah, I don't know, it's dumbass kids getting. I am a menace to societal media.
Speaker 2:You know, like you know what I actually like watching for, like entertainment, like to make me feel better. I like to go on YouTube and watch people get tased.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:It's something about them like just freezing like somebody to unplug the controller and they just like go stiff. I love yeah, yeah. I just not funny, but it's fucking hilarious, pretty.
Speaker 3:It depends on what the person's doing, but I do it. I've seen a couple like Karen sort of situations recently where someone's like screaming at a cashier or something and they get tased and it's, it's wonderful.
Speaker 2:My whole thing is that how long they gonna keep this bullshit up, with COVID coming back any streets like y'all gonna stop yelling in my face like that? Like. All right, I'm gonna fuck you up like I'll spend a couple nights in jail. Sure, I ain't doing this shit with y'all, man, yeah.
Speaker 1:I wonder, speaking of COVID you, are you gonna start wearing mask at like? You thought about wearing Mask again. I'll wear my work.
Speaker 2:I wear my work. Yeah, yeah, I'm not even in treats like that. Yeah, because I'm out in the public dealing with people as a social worker. So therefore I always wear a mask when I'm interacting with people. When I'm at my desk, I don't, but when I'm out and I got to talk to clients and everything else like that and songs are full for hand me papers and all the kind of shit they just right there with you. Yeah, absolutely, man, I'm not bugging out about it, just more since, like With me, I'm always gonna be careful. Especially, I should have went through with more like a safety thing, anything else, but that Like apparently it's coming back and it and then change the form list and now some other shit. So I'm like, all right, let's just be smart about this.
Speaker 3:I get that and you're probably. You're probably working with people that have compromised Mean systems and stuff like I'm gonna be bringing that into their house.
Speaker 2:My shit compromise. Leave me the fucking low Like I don't see no hands going over your mouth and nobody blowing into these shirt, nothing like that. They just carrying on. I'm like okay, man, not fucking.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I had a dude run put your mask on. I had to do run past me on the street today and he like he like you know he was breathing like how he was running, so he's like rhythmically breathing, and I was like dude, you know, you could, you could wait half a second until you're past me to exhale, and he like came past me and we were, our faces were like five inches from each other and he just went, you know like all basically in my direction. I was like fucking terrorist act bro.
Speaker 1:I would have said something, I would have been like yo really broke.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm like I've got my baby on my chest. I was like dude, fuck you, spit in his mouth.
Speaker 2:I want to say shut up, pop the clean shit out of him.
Speaker 1:Let me transition real quick to some politics, touch on some, some political topics, or not really political topics, but topics about politicians, hmm. And I want to talk about the turtle Mitch McConnell, oh, talk about. Why does he keep what? Why does he keep freezing up? Be Like, are these mini strokes that he's having when he's doing this public like?
Speaker 3:an absent seizure or something like that. I don't know.
Speaker 1:It's like how old is he? Is he like?
Speaker 2:85?
Speaker 1:He's close to 90, isn't he?
Speaker 2:trying to get the matrix man. He just Sickness shit.
Speaker 1:My thing is, I feel like they should have an age limit on politicians. Sure, we've talked about we've talked about having age limits on drivers, like after like 70, you shouldn't be allowed to drive. I think they should have the same shit on fucking politicians, bro, like after 70 or 75 If you've passed all the, you know the evaluations, then 75. And that's it. Like I think it should be an expiration date, man.
Speaker 2:No, no, it should just be restricted, Like at a particular age you should drive during the daytime.
Speaker 3:So, like he can't, after a certain age you can't vote Right you can't take the right away.
Speaker 2:You earn the right, but the more anything else like I don't want to be out in the road when there's somebody like 70 years old on a parkway, dark as shit, and they going like a smooth 45-mile-mile-mile. Nobody want to do that. But I mean drive like like from sun up to sundown. Yeah, you can do so because it's safer, it's more people out, you can see shit like that. But the thing with term limits you're 100% right, because I don't think they really want. They don't really want to put term limits because the people that we're talking about pretty much like old white men. They're getting more old white men coming after them. So you put limits, like when you got to like leave the job. The whole thing is like if you put younger people in there to kind of run the country, they're not going to like that because the first thing you're going to do is text this shit out of really rich people, which are the old white guys that are sitting there.
Speaker 3:So I mean, yeah, of course they're never going to allow. But I mean, like you know, Mitch McConnell's 81. Like, if I go in and I like I'm like, oh man, someone wants me to go, like find a new accountant, and I go into the accountant's office and the dude is fucking 81 years old, no, thank you. I don't want you making any decisions for me, including financial ones. The idea that we let people work until they basically die. I mean, like look at Orrin Hatch or different people that have, like they've been totally incapacitated before they've left office. I mean and you know we're talking about Feinstein here. She's been having major, major health stuff and yeah, I mean I totally agree. I think it should be the people that. I think it should be young people. I mean it's they're. They're the ones that are going to have to deal with a lot of the consequences of laws they're passing. So younger the better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I mean all right, so he's 81. Biden is 80.
Speaker 3:So they're about the same age.
Speaker 1:And we're already starting to see Biden stumbling, mumbling his word. He's falling asleep and shit Like you know what I mean.
Speaker 3:I don't trust Biden. I mean, he's too old man, it's. It's not. He's not representing, like the core of what should be the decision makers in our country right now.
Speaker 1:What?
Speaker 2:And that's the fucked up shit, because then God forbid something happens to him.
Speaker 1:We got who takes over the vice president. Nobody even knows what his ladies at. Bro, Look, fucking bitch hasn't said a word in months.
Speaker 2:We shouldn't be running a nursing home, right, seriously right, like when your parents get to a particular age you can't really take them, so you put maybe a system living on the nursing home, sure, like like they are past the nursing home age and you're leaving them responsible for the future of the country. Yeah, I'm sorry, but morally and rationally there's something wrong there, especially like when they're that kind of old. So they mean like they went through, like like segregation and civil rights, like that. They got some pretty strong like opinion like my grandmother is 82. Yeah, grandmother doesn't like white people, but I know why because of how she grew up?
Speaker 3:I wouldn't either.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was, it was dark for her back then. Like like from where they were. They were like 10 miles away from like where, like they said, it's correct, like clan rallies and shit. So she just has this particular disdain for white people. Yeah, she doesn't. She doesn't dislike all of them, like she knows you, she likes you, but in general she's like I ain't trusting it. I've been through a lot, but again you're dealing with the same people in the reverse side who probably were, you know, under them hoods and even like running office.
Speaker 2:It gets a bit, it can get dark, so you should probably have a term limits, just to be safe.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I say, at the very least, have a public speaker that represents them or that speaks for them, that goes up and says you know the things that he's, you know that he wants Biden or Mitch to say right, because you can't have these people in front of a live audience, in front of national TV, in front of the world going up there. They don't know what the fuck they saying. They freezing up, wow, they mispronounce and shit, they miss speaking. They're there, the heart like yo.
Speaker 3:What the fuck one of the hard parts, I think, in the Republican Party for me is that you know so, all right, we get rid of Mitch McConnell. The person behind him could be. Marjorie Taylor Green could be. I mean, there's a lot worse than Mitch McConnell behind him, so that I think the future of the Republican Party in my mind is a fucking horror show. So I mean I just on on a like human level, I kind of feel for Mitch McConnell and I'm like dude. I don't want to be the next time that I see him have him drop dead on camera. I just think it's like this dude shouldn't be put in this situation anymore. His brain obviously cannot take it. But I'm, I'm not. I do not trust the people that are going to come and fill the void behind him.
Speaker 1:If we get to the point and tell us what happened.
Speaker 2:We're not doing that, man, because they're not going to, because they remember when Trump had COVID and try to act like everything was cool. But he's out here like infecting other motherfuckers for like a week, remember, come here, you hop off the hopper wave and like, yeah, I'm thumbs up, I'm good, but like you in here in a sealed, you know, you know fucking like limo, yeah, you know you're walking around Secret Service who, you get sick and you hop off like you want to show strength and shit like that. It's like no, and I don't want. Like the. Was that the state of the union that the president has? I don't want him whispering something to his nurses aid and she's telling it to the country we elected you, not her. We're not doing this for sure.
Speaker 3:Well, and it's. And then Trump you know, I love the, you know the booking record where it said that his you know his height and weight was 63 to 15. Nice try, don. I love the like social media posts where it has Trump on one side and then it has like an NBA player who's actually 63 to 15. And you just see, and it's like I know that fat and muscle are different and like they weigh different things, whatever, but like hey, don, you haven't seen 215 for decades, shit.
Speaker 2:They're gonna put them next to fucking Drew Holliday Like oh yeah same guy, Same same.
Speaker 3:What's the?
Speaker 1:over under what's the over?
Speaker 2:under on his weight 270. Yeah, about the over, about 265 270.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, because he's a fluffy boy and you know, and the other thing about him is, like you know, he's, he's, he's pretty tall, whatever. Like he got fucking damn it. With the amount of money he has and the position that he has, he could have someone dress him and he could look way better. Those fucking ill fitting suits are doing nothing to help him. Like he looks like garbage.
Speaker 1:I mean shit. He hasn't done nothing about his hair and an age Like why, you know why would he start now doing some other shit?
Speaker 2:I think people don't really understand, like what a well Taylor suit can do to your friends.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, like you get, like dude, I just I have my my wedding suit, the suit for my wedding. My wife and I have. We just celebrated our 11th anniversary.
Speaker 2:And Jeff, jeff, jeff.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, jeff, where do you at 7. 7-eleven. And so my the pants of my suit at the time and I don't even know if they were like in fashion at the time, even they were just ill fitting, they were tailored wrong and they were like really pretty baggy and dude. I just I have them retailered and it's a whole different fucking suit. Like I'm fatter than I am now, than I was at my wedding, for sure, and I look skinnier when I wear the suit now, like definitely I mean Trump's Trump shit is like at least a size or two too big.
Speaker 1:God damn. And that tie. So what is that? Like a forex, yeah.
Speaker 3:I mean due to, these are custom, these are custom made suits, bro. Like those are key wears, like fifteen thousand dollar suits and yet they look like that. I mean it's I don't know, it's a fucking travesty.
Speaker 2:You know he dresses like you like. Remember when David Stern enter? Like he got like like you, like you can't wear like jewelry and like white keys on the bench. And they all wear like three Xs. Yes, like I'm just like two baggy. Yes, like they were looking like the kid from big when he went from Tom Hanks, the kid that I'm just like dragging on them. That's the way all this suits. Look, I'm just like dude you should.
Speaker 3:When was the last time you guys looked at the album cover of Diddy? Oh God, what was that? The one with all about the Benjamins. That that was.
Speaker 1:Whatever the album or your family with the locks in the background.
Speaker 3:Look at that album cover and look at how ill fitting like Jada kiss his suit is. It's. It's so wild.
Speaker 2:I know Jada had him. That my first look like, like he wants to tell her no, no, no, Put some safety pins in it, like we got.
Speaker 3:I got this from my dad.
Speaker 1:They never they had never worn a suit before that photo.
Speaker 3:Like Jada kiss that. That suit is definitely like dripping into your soup Like you have tomato soup.
Speaker 1:It was supposed to be what was supposed to be Biggie's funeral. I think that was the whole idea under as supposed to be like their morning Right Biggie's death and shit.
Speaker 2:I was just about to say that he was dressed like when you had when it's your first time wearing a suit to a few. Don't know what to wear, so like I just need something black and but then, like you don't know your size, your weight, your cut, like what's the best one.
Speaker 1:It's like we all have that family member, though. We all have that friend or that family member who shows up to the shit and you could tell is like their first and only time that they're ever going to wear it Totally.
Speaker 3:When it's like and you look at the suits and like, chic Is that? I guess that's chic. Yeah, yeah, his suit is it looks like one of the suits, you know, when they're like in the cartoons where, like three kids would stand on top of each other's shoulders and try to get into the movie it looks like he's actually three kids in a suit.
Speaker 1:It was Black Rob Mace and the locks, and did he?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah, black Rob, everybody suits there. The sleeves are kind of fitting OK. The, the, I don't know what you call it, but the main part of the jacket is just extremely long. It's like beyond penis level to almost to knees.
Speaker 2:Right, it's supposed to be terrylet, where if you wear the shirt, you have about an inch or two of cuff right where it shows. Yes, it's down to the enough.
Speaker 3:It looks like an overcoat, it's great.
Speaker 2:And who looked the sharpest? Like did he like? Y'all gonna fuck this up, not me, I'm, I'm like yeah, he looks good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like I have these in my closet. You're gonna have to just go in that box over there Did he.
Speaker 3:I will say that did he does look. He does look like someone put like photo shopped his head onto a much larger man's body, though it looks like he's got a ping pong head, like you put shoulder pads on and like and it takes.
Speaker 2:It takes a bold man to pull off a three piece suit. Oh sure, Definitely it does, because you got to get it just right and, like I said, we go to funerals. Either either the suit doesn't fit or seems like it was in the back of the closet Like I'm not like ironing this shit at all.
Speaker 3:It's like a color that hasn't been like in fashion for 25 years, because they haven't worn it since their high school graduation.
Speaker 2:Like like brown pinch right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, damn it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that's the way Trump looks and he's our leader. He's 80 something. Well, how old is Trump? Was 78?. Yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 3:I think it's close to 80 years.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but you're like I said you're still too old.
Speaker 1:He's only a couple of years younger than Biden. Yeah, yeah, all he's.
Speaker 2:They're all too old and, from what I remember, he's the only president that I can remember that. You know, every president they always have that physical fitness thing for the kids and other shit. Yeah, he's never done that shit. He's the opposite. He's the opposite, right, because that's why I'm fighting. I lost the bike Because because he was pedaling and shit and he didn't hit the kickstand. I'm not gonna shut down Obama, did he? Saw him pooping? Sure, he always seemed to do athletic shit. Oh, you see this nigga with like Big Macs and Dyke.
Speaker 3:Right, all right. When he had that. He had that like Looney Tunes doctor who said that he was like the most in shape person he's ever met with, or whatever. The guy who had long hair who died recently.
Speaker 1:How much do you have to pay? How much do you pay that doctor so much Enough.
Speaker 3:Yeah, enough, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then how much, would how much cost you to lie for me?
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 2:That much.
Speaker 3:And then that dude died at like 70, like maybe 70 years old like that guy, and that guy was in shape but he died at like 70. I'm like it's not a good sign when your doctor is kicking super early.
Speaker 1:Speaking of paying people off, one of our patrons actually brought to my attention. Shout out to the block that it came out that, or it might be a rumor, but it came out that Trump actually paid, or no? I'm fucking this up. That little Wayne actually paid Trump to get him out of jail. Remember when?
Speaker 1:he was endorsing him before and shit like that. Why it was Dwayne? It was a few rappers and it was a few dudes that were like that he that he freed from jail and shit, and they started endorsing him. Remember that? Yeah, sure.
Speaker 1:Wasn't like him and Kodak Black yes, it was Kodak Black and Wayne and he got him out of jail. And then they started endorsing him and they're like yo, well, I figured OK, well, he got him out of jail. I mean, you know, I get it Like why would you know? I didn't understand, like why Ice Cube was endorsing him and other people Like, if you got me out of jail, like I kind of understand why they're endorsing him. But it just it came out recently, supposedly, that you know they paid the motherfucker Get me out of jail With it paid If I have to pay you, but if I have to pay you to get me out of jail, I'm not, I don't have to endorse you.
Speaker 3:So you're saying? You're saying that Little Wayne paid Trump to pardon him?
Speaker 1:That's what they're saying. Yeah, and then, and then the running rate it starts at like a million dollars. The running rate is a million dollars and I'll get you and some of your homies out, yeah.
Speaker 3:Huh, and then you have to endorse me as well. Right, right, right.
Speaker 1:Well, this is like. I would think that the endorsement alone would be worth the price of admission. Oh, certainly, yeah, yeah, like you, get me out and I'll tell all my millions of followers to vote.
Speaker 3:Well, especially like Wayne. I mean Wayne's like street cred is so high for someone like Trump like, who fortunately has had his back turned upon him by the black community by in for years and years and years and we know why to get little Wayne's endorsement, I mean. But it's like for little Wayne, I would think that would be like on some level, kind of not career suicide, but it just makes you look like the last person in your shoes that did that was Kanye, and everybody's like Kanye's mentally ill. So I would just think it would be a really bad move on his part.
Speaker 1:But I guess I wish there was a stat. I wish there was a stat that they can maybe trace somehow and see how many votes did a candidate actually get from certain celebrities endorsing them. Right, like I wish there was some way to track that shit. Like, okay, trump got an extra two million black votes from Kodak black and ice cube and Wayne endorsing him. You know what I mean. Like that would, that would be. I would like to see those, those stats.
Speaker 2:Sure, I'm telling you right now, if that's true, I'm never checking off black on the application ever again. True, ever ever. If we're selling a vote for him, yeah, no, yeah, no. And I mean Kanye, he was crazy, so it's like that's kind of one side with, but Wayne's unkillable, right, right. I mean people like him, like if Snoop Dogg endorsing, like they still love Snoop.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they look at difference. When Wayne Wayne's like eccentric enough that it's like people kind of like I don't know he's going through a phase or something, it's like.
Speaker 2:I don't know, maybe he's just like oh Wayne back when I leave, Right Right.
Speaker 3:What's you know? What I think is interesting is when you're Cornel West, next time Right. But when you start to talk about the like pardoning and stuff, right. Like DeSantis has promised that you know he talks shit about Trump all the time but he says, like the first thing I'll do day one in office is I'll pardon, you know, donald Trump for all of his, any crimes that he gets you know convicted of. And it's just like it's such a funny thing that, like now, basically the presidency is for sale.
Speaker 2:He's a bitch.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, we were talking about Mitch McConnell freezing on camera. How about Ron DeSantis trying to fucking smile like a human? That dude is such he's like I'm an alien wearing a human skin suit. Look at me smile.
Speaker 2:What was the thing called Like when I give robots the turn test, yeah, yeah, and it's like he's failing it. It's like you're like show emotions, like yeah, yeah, like his smile is so forced. It's like it's not natural. It's like I'm always unhappy, right, so to see me smile seems really unnatural to me. Like, just don't smile, to be serious as shit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a body snatcher situation for sure he's, he just gives me, he makes me feel, you know that song, that Paul McCartney song about for Christmas. So that song, whenever I hear it, it makes me feel like I have bugs crawling all over my skin and sometimes inside my skin. And when I see Rhonda Santa smile, it makes me feel the exact same way as that Paul McCartney Christmas song.
Speaker 2:And he just throwing away millions of dollars. No one's going to vote for you, man. No one likes you. They don't like in your own state, right.
Speaker 3:That's. That's pretty sad when you can't get even your state behind you. The people that know you best, jeffrey, move us forward.
Speaker 2:Fuck you. I seriously want to stay.
Speaker 1:I wanted to know your opinions because every time I mentioned this, a lot of people haven't even fucking heard of this shit. I want to know your opinions on the supposed Obama letters. I know you have heard about it now because I mentioned it before. You know the like these 1982 letters that are now been redacted from like one of his ex-girlfriends back in college and you know these are letters that he would write to her.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I think they have them, like in the museum now or in the college now. They have them up. So people, oh shit, let's look at them, let's see what the fuck you know Obama's penmanship looks like. But anyway, and it, you know, in the letter he proposed, he tells her that you know that he loves, you know that he makes love to men daily, but in the imagination only. Yeah, and, and I thought it was interesting, I wasn't even looking at it like, oh shit, Obama's gay, I wasn't even you know what. I mean I would look the way he was describing shit and the way he was talking to her on this letter. I found, you know, it was interesting to me. Yeah, I mean, you know, in regard to homosexuality he goes. I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from the present, or refusal, perhaps, to perpetuate the endless sparse of earthly life. You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination and so forth, and that's what. And again, he was in his 20s when he wrote this.
Speaker 3:I mean, he was bugged out on some some dope hallucinogenics too, because that sentence before it is bugged out.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I mean the thing for me about this. So I had not heard of these letters before you texted us about it and I just find it odd that it's it's been reported by the New York Post and that's it. Basically the New York Post is the primary source on this and like the only, there's been a couple, like local news affiliates or whatever that have that have reported on it, but basically nobody else has reported on it. That doesn't mean that it's not true, but I don't know. For me it's like I love Obama. It doesn't move the move the needle for me at all. I think it's actually makes him so much more interesting, it makes him more complex and like cool that he was talking about this at such a young age, you know.
Speaker 1:But that's what I mean. It was interesting to me. I wanted to hear more. Like you know, like it's not, like he was being philosophical about life and about, you know, being gender neutral or gender, you know. Whatever he, I just want to know how he views right? You know what I'm saying? Gender roles and shit.
Speaker 3:Like yeah, and does he identify as bisexual or just you know, whatever it is. I mean, I just think it's interesting. I mean it's I'll speak for, as you know, just myself that I there's not a single person that I've met that I haven't thought about having like what they look like when they have sex, what they look like naked. I'm just, I'm just a weird perverted person that just thinks I'm like oh, that's interesting and I'll think about it with almost everybody and it's almost just like it's like a fun thought experiment.
Speaker 1:And I'm just more interested in hearing his philosophies on gender neutrality.
Speaker 3:Oh, for sure.
Speaker 1:And sexuality, because I mean, again, this is in the 80s, so I feel like he was a way ahead of his time, you know, for something that was in the 80s. These are subjects I wasn't even talked about. You know what I mean. Now, obviously, you know it was more open and and everybody can come out now and, you know, feel more comfortable about it. But I, you know, I can also understand, you know, if he is, let's say, he is bisexual, why he wouldn't come out. Because you know what, what effects would that have had on his career, right, and I'm saying, and him running for president, him running for, you know, for for different offices, and him, him being a lawyer, even how, how would all you know, how would he share his sexuality or his gender neutrality? How would that have affected him, I mean, you know, right throughout the course of his life and his career?
Speaker 3:I mean racism alone almost kept him out of the White House. You throw it like homophobia and racism. It's like no, not even a chance. I just think it's dude. I think about the letters that I might have written to my girlfriend when I was 21 or whatever. They were nowhere near as intellectual as this letter was.
Speaker 1:No, no, it was ABC shit. Do you like me? Yes or no?
Speaker 3:We should go drink some natty light together and make out.
Speaker 1:Circle wheel box yes.
Speaker 2:No, maybe the fact that you had to go back to point where you wrote letters. No, it's a Friday, like, like, like. Like you get a long text where you got keep scrolling, or you get an email. Like no one writes letters. Letters are cool.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 2:Does it? No, it sounded very philosophical. It sounded like a man who hit the blunt really, really fucking hard for you. It sounded right now. And the truth of the matter is like we, even then, even now, as a society, we just cannot accept the idea of a gay president. Like when, had all the candidates up there, I was like the guy who's impressed me the most is Pete Buttigieg. But guess what? He not winning because again like.
Speaker 2:Pete was smart. He worked both sides of the aisle. He had really solid, functional, rational ideas. But this country is never going to get past the fact that we're not electing a gay president.
Speaker 1:I think it'll happen one day, maybe not in our life.
Speaker 3:I think that we're going to have a gay, trans black president before we have an atheist president. I think that's to me that the number one thing that's unelectable is if someone was an admitted atheist, I think. I think gay president is within the next couple of cycles.
Speaker 2:Literally the third sentence one nation under God, no doubt.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You would lose the entire Christian community. Yeah, and that's a lot of a lot of, that's a lot of votes. What about a Latino? Can we get a fucking Latino? Sure, not that cruise, but somebody else. No, yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, you're got enough bags. And I think in the next, for sure, I think the next 15 years, I think they will be the number one minority population in the country. Yeah, we will be right which I vote.
Speaker 1:would y'all vote for Cortez or Casio Cortez? Yeah, yeah, for sure, I mean first female president.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she's, she's got some pretty wild beliefs about things Like she's, she's liberal to a, to a point that I'm like whoa, wait, hold on. But yeah, I told you, I dig her. I mean, I like her, I like the stuff that she floats.
Speaker 1:She's mad passionate, though, when you see her, yeah, arguing and courts and she's dope Dude I was.
Speaker 3:I was hoping that the Santas was gonna get the nomination for the republicans and then Trump would run third party and split the vote and then we could go. I was like we should run john steward and aoc as vp.
Speaker 2:That the only problem I have with aoc, more than anything else, is like like you're, you're, you're passionate, you're excitable, you're so it's a fourth, but You're popular. I need, I need to see what kind of things in law that you've enacted. Like you have a great like fantasy story of like Someone who wasn't expected to win and you really use your platform to move ahead and really try to push things forward. Yeah, it's like stalling out because I don't think she's found a balance between being liberal and being rational. Like I. Like you have to like fit your liberal ideas in a gilded box so it's acceptable to everybody. Right, got like kind of trojan horseshit in there. She's like no, everyone wants you have a cat. Like I mean, what the fuck are you doing?
Speaker 3:I know and like the green new deal stuff that was put out and I don't know how much of it was actually real, but like one of the items was Banning plane travel and I was like I don't know how real that was, I don't know if it was just like a thought experiment, but I'm like you can't. That's the silliest thing I've ever heard. Are you fucking kidding me?
Speaker 2:Have you seen our fucking real system? Yeah, no.
Speaker 3:And so, wait, you're telling me that no one, that I have to take a steamship or something to go to europe, or something like no, and then, dude, I mean like nobody needs any more ammunition against liberals, right? Have you seen the thing now that that the person just asked Uh, bryden's press secretary, where he asked if there was, if biden is planning on doing a two beer limit for all americans every week? Oh, yeah, right about yeah, and it's like Are you, do people actually believe that this is something that's true? Like I don't know there's. I just think the conspiracy theories behind how like crazy liberals can get, or whatever it's like aoc just fuels the fire with some of the things that she says, even though I am 100 on board with a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1:She the most, the most. I mean. They're not gonna obviously ban alcohol and they're not gonna tell you you can only have one drink. All the all, the most that they'll ever do is yeah like it could be the uh, you know what I mean surgeon general, surgeon general recommends this or you know, the government recommends you can only have no more than two drinks per day for a man and only one drink for a day for a fee one.
Speaker 3:What I what I think is funny is that conservatives took it as a hit against them. And I'm like bro, I live in portland and I fucking Challenge you to find a city that drinks more beer per person and more strong beer per person than portland.
Speaker 1:Like people, I mean, fuck, you live in a. You live in a city where every drug is oh yeah.
Speaker 3:I mean, if they put a two beer limit on portland like the whole city would go up in flames, no problem imagine.
Speaker 1:Imagine if portland had the most electoral college votes. And and and the one candidate said I'm banning all drugs from the country and all alcohol. Like you would lose every single vote in that station. But yo, let's wrap this shit up, man. I'm glad to see that ant is fucking okay and safe and healthy yeah.
Speaker 2:Don't get worried.
Speaker 1:I mean, the whole purpose of this podcast episode was that me and mike were gonna come on here and, you know, tell the masses if they've seen you, if they've seen a big black Social worker, please call us. Let us know what the fuck. You know what I mean because we, we were, we were concerned man, fuck, I'm alive.
