00:01:11
Speaker
What up, sis?
Killer Mike's Financial Literacy and Political Stance
00:01:13
Speaker
What up, brother? I can't call it. I can't call it. Before we get into any type of craziness, something popped up that I thought would be interesting to talk about during the Daily Dally.
00:01:24
Speaker
Okay. Now, I know you probably have some issues with Killer Mike.
00:01:30
Speaker
I do? Yes, because he took Kemp's side in that 2022 governor election race down in Georgia.
00:01:40
Speaker
Yeah, okay. yeah But he's also very financially literate and and wants to spread that. So everybody can't be perfect, I guess. But he want yeah yeah he wants to really uplift the black community.
00:01:57
Speaker
So he was on Club Shay Shay the other day, and he gave off a list of stuff, 10 things that he would do if he was president of the United States. okay Okay. So here they are. He would create a reparations plan.
00:02:12
Speaker
He would immediately be impeached. Okay. He would take debt out of college. That's, it yeah. A lot of first world countries have free college.
00:02:25
Speaker
Forgive all college debt. Yeah. You would be setting up wealth, ah generational wealth in this country for decades. This next one just sounds MAGA-ish, but public schools return to greatness.
00:02:40
Speaker
i don't know what that means. Yeah, our public schools were never great. Yeah. Return trades to high schools. That's also, yeah. I mean, a lot of high schools do have trade programs, but... Not like not like they did in the 70s and Well, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Like you can't, I don't think a lot of schools have auto shop and everything anymore, but I know a lot of people who did like cosmetology, culinary, you know, so they still have those, maybe not in the school, you might have to get bus somewhere else, but yeah, definitely bringing that back yeah for sure.
00:03:17
Speaker
State colleges more, make state colleges more accessible. Support and older people more specifically make the retirement age earlier. that That has to do with finances and... Well, if you do those other things, that it seems like you would naturally make a pathway to retirement.
00:03:37
Speaker
Yeah. Make a pathway to legal citizenship easier. Yeah. That's prior so supposed to be the whole point of this country. But, okay. Bilingual classes early.
00:03:49
Speaker
In other words, start those bad boys like an elementary school, which I think yeah some school districts have. it's It's best to start it early while their their brains are still forming. It's really, really dumb to start foreign language in middle school, high school. Yeah, i don't know.
00:04:07
Speaker
you have to You have to create those folds in the brain that makes you, you know, even susceptible to learning a language. You got to start that early. So, yeah, that's a good one.
00:04:19
Speaker
And then guarantee minority businesses get federal grants. I don't know how you can guarantee that, but you can make it easier. You can make it more equitable for sure.
00:04:30
Speaker
Yeah, that's a great fantasy list.
00:04:36
Speaker
that's That's socialism at its height. Yeah, that's a great fantasy list. The thing I like about it is that when you target, like the but I say this all the time, when you where you help the most vulnerable population, it trickles up.
00:04:52
Speaker
Nothing trickles down. Nothing trickles down. It trickles up.
Cultural Expressions and Sarcasm
00:04:56
Speaker
If you create safety nets and programs and initiatives that help the most vulnerable populations, everybody benefits as a result.
00:05:06
Speaker
You start from the bottom up. Nobody builds a house starting with the roof. That's dumb. I never understood trickle down theory. You start with the foundation. you start with the people whose society has placed at the bottom.
00:05:20
Speaker
So that's ah that's a very lovely dream. Good for him. Okay. No, I think that, and I want to be clear. yeah i think i think that and and i want to be clear When he says minority-owned businesses, you do realize that's anybody that's a minority. So women out there, white women, y'all were the ones that benefited the most off of affirmative action. So just to point that out there, you are a minority. So y'all would fit into these things.
00:05:51
Speaker
Even though we make up, women in general make up more than half of the population, we are still considered a minority group. Which is which is crazy. Because you got a fifty fifty shot from birth.
00:06:01
Speaker
from birth Right. And women still make up. Literally. It's a coin flip. It's a coin flip, which means men ain't taking care of ourselves. What you think about this expression?
00:06:12
Speaker
If a black person tells you it ain't that much love in the world, they're calling you dumb. Yeah, that's correct. but There's a lot of very like subtle but very pointed ways that Black people will call you stupid.
00:06:30
Speaker
You better than me. That's a good one. Well, you better than me. yeah If you like it, I love it. best him at um It was funny because somebody white said that to me.
00:06:43
Speaker
If you like it, I love it. And i was like, wait a minute. What you trying to say? Like, I love the idea. I was like, that's not what that means. That's not what that mean that means. What do you mean? If you like it, I love it.
00:06:54
Speaker
No, it is said sardonically. It is said dripping with sarcasm. it Sardonically is sarcasm. Is that what that word means? Sardonic is not sarcasm.
00:07:07
Speaker
They're two different words. So they're not. Obviously, I know the two different words, but i'm talking about they're similar in their meaning because the way you use that. Similar. Yeah. OK, because you wait in the context of which you used I had never heard that word before, but i was like, m must be something closely related to sarcasm, like sarcasm's cousins.
00:07:24
Speaker
You know who's often called sardonic. You remember the cartoon Daria? Daria. Yes, of course. yeah dar Yes, because I've known several Darias in my life. Yes.
00:07:35
Speaker
You were low-key Daria. That's the reason why you loved that show growing up. I loved that show. um I loved it. And I love that the highest achieving kids in that show were the two Black students.
00:07:47
Speaker
Yeah. two That's what I love the most. yeah I
Importance of Reading and Avoiding Scams
00:07:52
Speaker
used to walk in and you watching that show. i was like, you just like that show because that's you. Y'all are both jerks. Yeah.
00:07:58
Speaker
Smart ass jerks. Not jerks. well What you call it? We're observational. And we don't suffer fools. so I don't even don't suffer fools. Wait a minute. and What does that mean?
00:08:14
Speaker
That means I'm not going put up with foolishness. I don't have a high tolerance for for foolery. Now, that's a Bruce Anthony lie, which is a.k.a. a bald-headed lie, because you have absolutely stood up for foolishness before.
00:08:28
Speaker
Way longer than you should have. What if I stood up for foolishness? ain't put your personal business out there, but you have stood up for some foolishness in your life. ah Yeah, well, we all had the moment.
00:08:41
Speaker
What a fool believes. believes. What a fool believes. yeah Yes, we are. What's that song, we Everybody? We all dated somebody from Kenny, who worked at Kenny's Shoes. We all have...
00:08:58
Speaker
That was a Dave Chappelle joke. That was an old Dave Chappelle joke. Everybody plays a fool. Sometimes. Yeah. I done played a fool. I done played a fool more than a few times with the same person.
00:09:11
Speaker
Yeah. You ever had that person that you- And like, fool me once, but damn it, it was like, you got eight, nine more times to fool me before I'm really fed up. I'm like, I'm like W. I'm like W. Hey, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, it's a shame that I've been fooled. I don't know what he said that way. I think he said, fool me once, shame on you.
00:09:33
Speaker
Fool me twice. Hey, fool me again. don't know what I'm saying. And like, that's not, that's like somebody, I don't remember who said this. Maybe it was Jesse Jackson. I don't remember actually, but the line is, I think it's from United Negro College Fund. Like a mine is a terrible thing to waste or something like that. And he said, it's a terrible thing to lose your mind.
00:09:58
Speaker
Which is also true, which is also true. Okay. That is true. It's a terrible thing to lose your mind. It is, but that's not the slogan. That is not the slogan at all.
00:10:11
Speaker
But no, i I suffer fools on an hourly basis. like that so like I put up with a lot of I don't have a choice.
00:10:23
Speaker
so Yeah, no. ah Honestly, daily. Daily. i I wish, God, this is going sound so egotistical and pompous, but it's true. That's kind of your brand. It it it is. it's It's not the brand that I want to live in, but... that that is yes If my brand is sarcasm, is sarcasm.
00:10:51
Speaker
yo brain I be getting up on my soapbox a lot. But the reason why I do it is because I got these wrinkles in my forehead.
00:11:04
Speaker
Now, why do I have these wrinkles in my forehead? Is it genetic? No, not necessarily. Right. now Is it because I'm aging? I am aging. Like there's age every day. I think I look good for 45, but I age every single day.
00:11:18
Speaker
But why do I have human experience? Right. Why do I have these laugh lines and these wrinkles on my forehead? The laugh lines are easy to explain. I love to laugh.
00:11:29
Speaker
And I need to laugh as much as I can because the wrinkles on my forehead is always, what the hell do you mean face? What the hell did you just say face? And I feel like a lot of times people say things around me and I'm just like, okay, I really don't know how you think that way. Mm-hmm.
00:11:49
Speaker
And it's kind of aggravating. I'm like, why can't you think better than that? but Like, right that's that's literally like.
00:11:58
Speaker
How did you get this far life? it's crazy, right? Because you can't be like, I wish you were smarter. Like, you can't, like, it's also you can't i lowke say that. No, I low-key call people stupid.
00:12:10
Speaker
Like, all the time. Yeah. But I do with a smile on my face on my face and they don't get, like, too offended. But I call people stupid a lot. That's kind of like the great thing of like the way I sound, like the way my voice sounds and the way I say things is most people think I'm joking. Right. I'm not a comedian.
00:12:30
Speaker
I'm not Kevin Hart. I am not a comedian. I am saying what I actually think. And y'all, ah ah John, are you crazy? Okay. All right. Well,
00:12:42
Speaker
I said what I said. well But like, yeah, yeah it feels like rude somehow. And it shouldn't be to be like, hey, I wish you read more books.
00:12:55
Speaker
ah but You know, like it feels like a thing you can't really say. or Not even books. thing you should say. and Not even books. Just yeah read more. Yeah.
00:13:05
Speaker
more Yeah. I just wish you read more. Or... And and also, it aloud because I'm not... i want you to practice that also.
00:13:16
Speaker
Look, I can't say nothing because I'm often reading from the script. Now, recently, ladies gentlemen, and I've been reading the script beforehand because I realized that reading cold and it's hot in here and my speech impediment wasn't a good idea.
00:13:31
Speaker
Though, I still think I'm a good reader. but But sometimes, set down I'll be messing up. But yeah yes, people need to read out loud a little bit more. i know we all have fears from when we were younger.
00:13:45
Speaker
Nobody liked being called on. That doesn't mean that you're a bad reader. Yeah. But also you need to read a little bit more. i I need people to do a little bit more research on certain things.
00:13:55
Speaker
like Yeah, read. I need you to read. oh But not ah not even that. Like somebody will send me something and be like, can you believe this? And I'm like, well, no, I can't believe it. This can't possibly be real.
00:14:07
Speaker
Let me just Google a quick... Cursory Google search. Let me just see it's real because my initial instinct is to say, this isn't real.
00:14:18
Speaker
If it is real, wow. But my initial instinct the instinct is to be like, nah, this isn't real. And sure enough, when I Google search it, it's not real. And I'm like, hey, this isn't real. Are you sure?
00:14:31
Speaker
Yeah, it
Impact of Fake News and Doomscrolling
00:14:32
Speaker
you can look it up too yourself. It takes... 2.5 seconds. yeah It's the amount of time that it takes you to literally copy and paste or type it in something in Google.
00:14:43
Speaker
You can figure it out. And then people will be like, go ahead then people will be like, they'll do it to me constantly. And they'll be like, yeah, but I know you'll research it. And I'm like, you know what?
00:14:53
Speaker
I'm just going to you be dumb. I'm not research anymore for you. I'm just going to let you believe what you want to believe. I actually have a lot of empathy For people who get caught up in stuff Without doing Their due diligence Because I recently almost got scammed Hmm I recently almost, boy, it was, it was down. It took me entirely too long to realize I was being scammed.
00:15:19
Speaker
But I got an email from prospective recruiter. Okay. From, from a big company. And he had like all this information from my LinkedIn profile. And like, ah we think you'd be a great fit. We have some roles open.
00:15:35
Speaker
Are you interested? i replied back that I was interested and I sent him a copy of my resume. He responds back, you know, with like feedback on my resume, how it can be improved. And they use a certain like AI model when they're reviewing resumes.
00:15:50
Speaker
I can recommend a resume expert for you. And so I was about to respond and I was just like, this feels like a lot for like a recruiter to do, right? Like it feels like a lot for a recruiter to do.
00:16:09
Speaker
So like a dummy, he had like a link to his LinkedIn profile in like the career page for this company. So like a dummy, I clicked the links. Luckily, it did actually go to a LinkedIn profile.
00:16:22
Speaker
But to have been a recruiter for this company for 15 years, and this is a big global company, how you only got 31 LinkedIn connections?
00:16:35
Speaker
And that you were working for a company for 15 years and you ain't gotten no promotions. but You've been in that same position. You didn't even get promoted to like a manager nothing, none of that.
00:16:48
Speaker
And then I looked at the email address he was sending from and it was a Gmail account. And I was like, okay, I'm being scammed. But i I went through a couple email. You know, they the whole point of this clickbait and all of this stuff is that they prey on people's sensibilities. like they He preyed on the fact that I'm clearly still a you know and a college student. like It's on my LinkedIn, right? like um I'm a college student and and this, that, and the third. And like, oh, she's probably going to be looking for a job. so like ah They're preying on that.
00:17:21
Speaker
And then you think you're being headhunted by a big company and you fall for the okie doke. So I actually recently, like what's in the past couple of days, had...
00:17:32
Speaker
have gotten a lot more empathy for people who get caught up in these scams because they're really sophisticated. And like everything about like usually, you know, you read a scam email, the the English ain't that good, you know, punctuation's off.
00:17:51
Speaker
You like, oh, this is clearly a scam. This was a very sophisticated. I did not... think that this was a scam. But eventually they would have asked for some money, right? Like this resume expert would have asked me to pay. And then once they got my information, then all my money gone. Right. yeah So, you know, I know that they would just be practicing, right? Because I ain't got no money, but like...
00:18:17
Speaker
We hit the right on person. I thought we was in for a lick. Yeah. We ain't get his. You ain't get nothing from me. So, but yeah, I got, I got a little more empathy for people who jumped the gun like that. I feel you.
00:18:31
Speaker
Those are scams. People that fall for scams. Okay. That's not necessarily what I'm talking about. I'm talking more. Fake news is also scams. Yeah. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to talk somebody down earlier.
00:18:49
Speaker
Because they did they were doing what I call, it's my, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a scientific term. It's what I labeled this as being, is stacking. So when you have one thing that's stressing you out,
00:19:02
Speaker
It can take you through a Charlotte's web of other things that's stressing you out and you just keep stacking one stressor on top of another, another, another yeah until you become overwhelmed. And it can potentially lead to a panic attack.
00:19:14
Speaker
That's what it yeah used to happen to me for years ago. i haven't had Thank God i haven't had a panic attack in like three, four years. right yeah But they were doing stacking. And I was just like, okay, you got to recognize that you're doing stacking.
00:19:31
Speaker
So you have to have self-awareness and you have to pull it back and then you have to take deep breaths. And like, Yeah, people will do this. People will build upon these type of things. People will read things all day long in the news and everything and be bogged down and stack. Doomscrolling. Doomscrolling. I mean, yeah it's ah it's a real thing. Yeah. People need to chill out.
00:19:56
Speaker
But if you are going to Doomscroll and you come across something that seemed dumb as hell. Right. Or maybe doesn't seem dumb as hell to you. Still, just do a cursory Google search.
00:20:07
Speaker
Don't call me I'm not going to tell you no more. The deep fakes are really, really good now. So you do have to do your due diligence when you see things. like You fell for a deep fake. And I'm going to bring it up. I know it was a deep fake. The thing I posted in my stories. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, I don't care. It was hilarious. It is hilarious.
00:20:27
Speaker
and and And honestly, it's not like he didn't say something like that before. and Ladies and gentlemen, we'll get into depth about it in the next segment because it's all tied into the next segment. Don't worry about it. We're not speaking in code for y'all not to be able to understand.
00:20:42
Speaker
We're going to talk about it in depth. I just don't want to get into it this segment. I want to get into it next segment. But back to the original statement. I'm not falling for nothing because you know how many times I've gotten emails, personal and work emails threatening.
00:20:58
Speaker
Hey, we caught you watching porn and we saw it through your camera. We reverse engineered it and they have a video of it And we're going send it to all your family members and loved ones and friends. If you don't send us some money and I write back, go ahead.
00:21:12
Speaker
Yeah. All was saying was that, oh, Marbo's watching porn. Yeah, all right, okay. What's for dinner tonight? Ain't no shit in my game. I'm not, you can't embarrass me. No family will not care.
00:21:24
Speaker
Now, we have some sanctified religious folks in our family, but they're few and far between, to be honest. So, honestly, your family ain't gonna care. And honestly, don't give a damn what they think about me. I'm gonna live my life anyway. Right.
00:21:39
Speaker
I don't get embarrassed. That's really not a threat for us, y'all. No, that's not. That's really not a threat. That's an empty threat. Okay. Go ahead. John, I'm gonna leak your photos. I took them.
00:21:51
Speaker
that Right.
00:21:55
Speaker
I know what they are. I know what they are. They not even in the hidden section on my iPhone. They right in the photo library. I know exactly. put them in the cloud. I know what I did.
00:22:06
Speaker
yeah
00:22:09
Speaker
Give a damn. Do it. Oh. While we laugh, let's hit something semi-serious. Okay. And we're going to talk about Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl.
00:22:23
Speaker
going get into that next.
00:22:34
Speaker
Jay, Bad Bunny has been ah officially chosen as the headliner for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, a decision that has sparked both mix of widespread praise and heated backlash. Now, we can tell everybody what we were talking about in the last segment that you posted on your stories. You want to describe what it was.
00:22:56
Speaker
Yeah, so it was like an audio of Trump and talking about how terrible it is that Bad Bunny is going to be the halftime show performer for the Super Bowl.
00:23:10
Speaker
And he said something about he's from the Mexican province of Puerto Rico.
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl and Cultural Significance
00:23:16
Speaker
and and yeah And yeah, I know it was AI. I know it wasn't real.
00:23:22
Speaker
But it's not like he hasn't said something like this before. If you remember the last time he was president, he talked about ah meeting with and speaking with the president of the U.S. Virgin Islands. And the U.S. is literally in the name of the country.
00:23:37
Speaker
And also, I do question whether and he or and a lot of people on the right also realize that Puerto Rico is a part of the United States.
00:23:47
Speaker
I don't feel like they know what it is. Like they i honestly don't think they understand that Puerto Rico is is in U.S. territory.
00:23:58
Speaker
And that he is the president of Puerto Rico. You know, actually, I didn't learn that until probably I was in my 20s. So I can give some people grace because I knew like Guam was a territory because of military reasons and there's a history. I was taking some history course in Guam and I was like, wait a minute. So they're U.S. territory. They're their' American citizens. It's like, yeah, Puerto Rico is as well. And there's some other areas like the U.S. s Virgin Islands that are territories that... American Samoa? Yeah, like they are there are others. So I kind of want to give people grace the first time around.
00:24:36
Speaker
Like when he was, when he ran and he was president in 2016 and Puerto Rico had the hurricane and and that's when it, like that was in like everybody was widespread. Oh, okay.
00:24:48
Speaker
Puerto Rico is a territory. Like it should have been known back then. That was... seven, eight years ago. I still don't think he truly grasps the fact that Puerto Rico, I think a lot of people on the right don't really grasp the fact that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory.
00:25:07
Speaker
ah Well, before we get it' so the right wing backlash, let's get into some of the praise. Let's let's praise first. because it's been all over my socials. I am excited.
00:25:19
Speaker
So many in the music industry, sports circles, and the Latino community celebrated the decision. Bad Bunny is not only a three-time Grammy winner, but has also been Spotify's most streamed artist for several of the recent years and is recognized globally for its impact on modern pop and reggaeton.
00:25:36
Speaker
Supporters highlight that his headline performance is a landmark achievement for both Puerto Rico and broader Latino representation as one of the world's most watched live events.
00:25:47
Speaker
Roc Nation's Jay-Z involved in selecting the performer called Bad Bunny's career a cultural influence. truly inspiring and expressed pride in showcasing him on such a widely viewed stage.
00:25:59
Speaker
Bad Bunny himself acknowledged the importance of the opportunity during a Saturday Night Live monologue, calling in the moment a collective win for Latinos and emphasizing their cultural contributions to the United States.
00:26:11
Speaker
Many praise the NFL's decision as intentionally move towards reaching a younger, more diverse audience, giving shifting demographics and audience trends.
00:26:22
Speaker
So like, look, this is a good thing. Yes. The idea that some people like, I don't know who this is. Well, okay. ah like ah Literally a global icon, like literally globally.
00:26:41
Speaker
Iconic. yeah i I don't know what else. If you don't know Benito, I don't know what else to tell you. like i like You've been living under a rock. Okay, what's the K-pop group that's really popular?
00:26:54
Speaker
You asking the wrong person. Okay, there's a K-pop group. There's one particular that's really popular that we don't know, but that is globally a sensation. yeah If you want to go U.S. citizens, because let us remind you yet again. BTS. Yeah, BTS.

Speaker
It's like 85 guys. In one group. It's not 85, guys. but but It's a bunch of them. But, okay, so you have them. But if you want to go American citizens who are globally recognized, because once again, I have to emphasize Bad Bunny is an American citizen.
00:27:28
Speaker
Yes. It is Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Bad Bunny. And no given order, those are the top three. if For country music seniors, I know they want to say, well what about he's globally? No. Or she's globally?
00:27:41

No. Nationally, yes. Nationally, yes. Nationally, huge. But as far as global acts, we got three people. music entertainers that's still active, like still active globally.
00:27:55
Speaker
Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Bad Bunny. And ain't even Taylor and Beyonce ain't hitting the streaming numbers that Bad Bunny has been hitting in recent years. like He is always at the top of the stream.
00:28:06
Speaker
He's one of the top artists that has performed. Now, they wanted Taylor to perform, but it was some negotiation issues. But Bad Bunny is a better call.
00:28:17
Speaker
just Yeah, for sure. I love i like Bad Bunny's music better anyway. I can't. And I'm going to get trashed for this. Thrashed. What have you been saying your social media? I can't name single Taylor Swift song. I can't.
00:28:33
Speaker
No, I can't. ah What have you been saying on social media as far as the praise and and the the the happiness that he's been given the Super Bowl halftime show?
00:28:44
Speaker
Us, black people. yeah Black people are literally overjoyed. and And I see a lot of Latino content creators that are like,
00:28:59
Speaker
we are overwhelmed by the response from the Black community because, listen, Latinos really voted against y'all this last election. We weren't doing that.
00:29:12
Speaker
We're not that great right now like what we did in an election. So the fact that y'all still rocking with us and like, yeah, but that's just how black people are. Like this is a win for y'all is a win for us. Like we see that as we're maybe not one community, but we are we're linked, right?
00:29:36
Speaker
Through just the treatment we receive in this country, right? We just have a common... Oppression. And blood. And blood. yeah And blood.
00:29:48
Speaker
Because Black people can also be Latino. I don't know why that's you know news to anyone. It's actually a whole lot of Black Latinos in the Caribbean. So many.
00:29:59
Speaker
yeah There's a lot of black machinos in Mexico, South America, Central America, we're everywhere. But yeah, like it's it's been us celebrating and being like, we don't even, we don't know the words, but he better not speak speak a lick of English. He better not.
00:30:13
Speaker
we have what ah see I don't, well, we got four months to Duolingo this. You know, that's what we were saying back when it was announced. i don't know how many months it is now. about Three.
00:30:25
Speaker
I don't know. No, when it was announced? Was it three? How many months till the Super Bowl? oh um October, November, December? Like, yeah. Yeah, four months. Yeah, four, five months. So we got four months to gonna do a lingo, get the lyrics and study so that y'all know, because he better not, I don't want to hear one English word. I want it to be fully en español. Please.
00:30:55
Speaker
That would really just make my heart just soar. Yeah. ah Bad Bunny has got a song. Now, Bad Bunny has done wrestling.
00:31:08
Speaker
Yes. He's yeahs he's done wrestling. He's done so much. He's done SNL. He's done wrestling. He's a huge supporter the LGBTQ plus community.
00:31:20
Speaker
And so when he did wrestling, they did it. it They had a pay-per-view in Puerto Rico and he was the main event. He's wrestling against the wrestling. He actually did really, really well. He's wrestled at WrestleMania. He's done a lot of stuff, right?
00:31:32
Speaker
yeah And they did it in Puerto Rico. And all I can say is if you want to see a hyped crowd, Watch that YouTube entrance of Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico. And that song, I listen to that song like every other day when I work out.
00:31:49
Speaker
Because that song is lit. Even if you don't understand Spanish, if you have any type of rhythm whatsoever, any, un poquito, Okay. We got it. We're getting down. Like, it don't matter.
00:32:03
Speaker
um that All black people need is a beat. That's all we need. That's all we need. And anything. We don't need anything. It doesn't matter the genre. All we need is a beat. If we hear it, we good. You know how this off topic, but kind of on topic, you know how that is absolutely true?
00:32:22
Speaker
If Smells Like Teen Spirit comes on, even at a even at one the blackest black event, if there's nobody white there, it's just nothing but black people that are hardcore hip hop listeners.
00:32:37
Speaker
If yeah Smells Like Teen Spirit comes on, everybody is jumping around and and rocking out to that. Well, you know why Grohl was the drummer for Nirvana at the time that, that the opening to smells like teen spirit is just the, like the drum,
00:32:58
Speaker
kick or whatever from the Gat Band. there So we just recognize. Like, oh, OK, yeah. But it ain't just a kick, though. Once that guitar riff comes in, too.
00:33:10
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Like the whole thing. But Bad Bunny, back to Bad Bunny. Look, this is going to be cool. Look, Jay-Z, people kind of criticized him when they gave him that Super Bowl halftime, being like, okay, because we just had this thing a couple of years ago.
00:33:26
Speaker
They blackballed Kellen Kaepernick. Then they come out with, let's end racism in all the end zones for a couple of seasons. And now we got Trump at every big game. Like, which win are you blowing? And Jay-Z, why are you selling out when they're not sticking up to...
00:33:42
Speaker
Black Lives Matter, right? When it was just convenient, they was rocking with it. But when it's no longer convenient, they turn on it. And Jay-Z has consistently put culture in the Super Bowl.
00:33:55
Speaker
If it's not Dr. Dre, it's Kendrick Lamar, it's Bad Bunny, it's Shakira and J-Lo, it is culture.
00:34:06
Speaker
yeah Culture. And they tried for Taylor Swift. I mean, that's a culture, too. I mean, if you like... It's something. If you don't like season chicken... I honestly can't... I can't comment on it because, again, I cannot name a single song. Look, she ain't no Kelly Clarkson, okay? And to me, Kelly is where at. All right, she ain't no Kelly Clarkson. Kelly Clarkson can't sing. She can sing. Kelly Clarkson can sing.
00:34:33
Speaker
saying no I No, thought you said sang. I said she can sang. Oh, yeah. No, she yeah can sang. She can sing. She just... Yes. All right. Let's get back to Bad Bunny. Let's... Yeah. and gave We gave the praise.
00:34:46
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Let's talk about the backlash. Okay. So the criticism has been especially fierce from conservative circles and some supporters of, guess who? President Trump.
00:34:56
Speaker
Key points of contention include Bad Bunny's performances mainly in Spanish and his outspoken criticism U.S. immigration policies, including fears around ICE presence at big events. Mm-hmm.
00:35:09
Speaker
What did Bad Bunny say that he wasn't going to do? He said he wasn't performing any of his tour. He wasn't bringing his tour to the U.S. because he didn't want ISIS to be. I keep always call it ISIS.
00:35:24
Speaker
ICE to be out in front of his arenas and his stadiums. They're both terrorist organizations. You ain't lying. So maybe I got it right. Maybe it's a Freudian slip. He didn't want Ice standing out out front of his performances, snatching people up.
00:35:40
Speaker
Yeah. But it gets worse. For instance, Fox News hosts, I think her name is Tommy Lauren, that she spells it yeah differently. she smells it She spells it like the devil.
00:35:52
Speaker
She looks like the devil. She dismissed him as not an American artist. Again, again, y'all, I'm telling you, I don't believe that the they really, truly understand that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and that Trump is also the president of Puerto Rico. Like, it I don't, they don't know.
00:36:17
Speaker
They don't know. I know they don't know. So it gets kind of worse.
00:36:27
Speaker
Speaker Mike Johnson and President Trump labeled the NFL's choice a terrible decision and completely absurd, respectively. President Klump, oh, Klump. Ha! and
00:36:39
Speaker
I didn't mean to say that, but he do look like a clump right now. yeah ah Just a white clump or an orange one. yeah President Trump claimed, I've never heard of him, underscoring a cultural gap and symbolized by the announcement that Bad Bunny is going to be performing at the event.
00:36:56
Speaker
Mike Johnson. this Here's what's interesting about that. Before you get, because I know you got something to say. Here's what's interesting about that. You've never heard of him. but you are certain that the it was a terrible decision and completely absurd.
00:37:12
Speaker
That's all. and I'm just going to leave that lying there. I was going let that lay there. That's absurd. That's absolutely absurd. Here's one that's even more absurd. So Mike Johnson was like, I never heard of him.
00:37:23
Speaker
It seems like they, you know, are not trying to appeal to the mass people. It seems like morally this person isn't correct. You know, if you wanted to appeal to the mass group of people, why wouldn't you have lane green Lee Greenwood performing at the Super Bowl?
00:37:38
Speaker
oh That's what I said. i said, who the hell is Lee Greenwood? So me being who I am, what did I do naturally? Sounds like a Confederate general.
00:37:49
Speaker
ah but He could have been in the Civil War, as old as he is. So what do you think I did when I heard that name? You looked it up. I damn sure went to Google. Lee Greenwood is a singer.
00:38:01
Speaker
Okay, that's cool. And former member of the National Council on the Arts of the United States. Okay. That's cool. That sounds made up. Okay. He's a country music singer.
00:38:15
Speaker
I assume that. And he's 82 years old. No. And don't nobody know who the hell he is. Now, he's won Grammys and all types of stuff.
00:38:25
Speaker
gregory I'm sure he has had a storied career. Don't know nothing about the man. and This is not a knock on Lee Greenwood. No, because you know what? It was probably over a decade ago, but Johnny Cash, God rest him, had come back out like and was like an octogenarian and had a new album out.
00:38:48
Speaker
It was great. He won Grammys. Hurt. Hurt is my one of my favorite songs. Yes. So i no no shade to him. But if you're going to talk, if you're going to say somebody culturally relevant, then please list somebody culturally relevant.
00:39:05
Speaker
Don't say, why don't they just have Dirk Chesterfield do it?
00:39:13
Speaker
Why old Patty Sutton would be a good choice for the...
00:39:20
Speaker
Not Dirk Chesterfield and Patty Sutton. She used to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. The what? What?
00:39:30
Speaker
Y'all piss me off. Please don't piss me off. and And because I saw somebody as yeah posted a video and this white lady was like, i don't understand.
00:39:40
Speaker
Can't we just have a country music star? ah ah hold ah do the halftime show? no Black woman's just the video. It said the NFL said no.
Diversity of American Culture and Language
00:39:50
Speaker
And then she started to salsa to some man buddy. I mean, listen, it's got to be somebody we know, baby. There's got to be somebody we know. And this is a global star. It's a global star. But let's take America, for instance.
00:40:07
Speaker
Country music isn't even the biggest genre. Well, it might be the biggest genre of music now. No, no. It's always been pop in America since the 80s.
00:40:19
Speaker
Since the 80s, it's literally called popular music. Yeah, what constitutes pop music now? Anything popular. Well, might be country. popular music. You know, country likes to likes to bleed in to other genres now. They got country rap. They got country rock.
00:40:34
Speaker
Hey, I love Cowboy Carter just like everybody else. No, that's not the country that we're talking about. Okay. so that's It is country music. It is, but that's not the country we're talking about. But anyway, some right-wing critics have accused the NFL of using the event to provoke political opponents, including the president and MAGA Republicans.
00:40:55
Speaker
So they're saying that the NFL, who yeah you can go... Who has zero political power. that But the owners donate overwhelmingly to conservative and Republican candidates.
00:41:11
Speaker
Overwhelmingly. Right. Yeah. So the money behind the NFL backs everything the Republican Party is is running for. Right. By and large. By and large.
00:41:21
Speaker
But somehow the NFL is trying to provoke the yeah President Trump and MAGA Republicans by bringing out Bad Bunny. No, it's Jay-Z.
00:41:31
Speaker
This primarily black employed organization. Y'all. That's self-awareness.
00:41:43
Speaker
They don't have no self-awareness. yeah Please. I just everything they say. It's so easy to refute that you laugh at it. People don't think you're serious, but I'm very serious.
00:41:54
Speaker
but Y'all need to read more.
00:42:01
Speaker
That's this is why they rail against higher education, even though all of them are Ivy League. alumnu Right. Like, because they know if people read, this why they didn't want the enslaved black folks to read. Because they know if people read. They didn't even want enslaved black people to read the Bible.
00:42:19
Speaker
Knowledge is power. Right. They didn't want us reading the Bible because they knew we would be like, hey, wait a minute now. Some this don't make no damn sense. What you've been telling me and what's in here don't make no damn sense. He ain't lining up.
00:42:31
Speaker
So they want us reading that for real, for real. But they know once you read, knowledge is power. And they don't want y'all reading. No. But y'all need to read.
00:42:44
Speaker
and And they're upset about the Spanish speaking entertainer doing his music and predominantly Spanish music. Guess what? so I got a little history lesson for every U.S. United States of America citizenship. said and Spanish has been the language spoken on these lands that have been United States of America.
00:43:10
Speaker
for the longest amount of time. Going yeah back to the 15th and 16th centuries, yes. yeah yeah When we overthrew, when the French and Indian War was won by the colonies, who and then we overthrew the crown, right?
00:43:28
Speaker
English became ah version of English, but okay? Because we don't speak the Queen's angel English either. No, we perfected it. no Okay. A version of English became the predominant language.
00:43:44
Speaker
But guess what? There is still 43 million Americans and growing that speak Spanish primarily.
00:43:55
Speaker
Okay. There are other languages that are speaking Spanish. and And I know a lot of people are going to say, what about Trump's executive order labeling English as an official language? Yeah. Well, how he did that, OK?
00:44:08
Speaker
However, his executive order does not give him absolute authority. A law passed by Congress is what you really need. And they haven't passed any law to make English the official language because every time they bring it up, it never passes.
00:44:25
Speaker
There is no official language in the United States. So when you say speak American, I don't know what American you're talking about because there is no official language for these United States of America and no executive order can deem it to be so.
00:44:43
Speaker
I mean, listen, y'all favorite girl, Christopher Columbus, was sent over here by whom?
00:44:55
Speaker
The Spanish. Yeah. On a boat called the Santa Maria.
00:45:03
Speaker
And he was an Italian. it was italian It was an Italian sent over by the Spanish. Yes. We all learn about the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. We all learned about that, which y'all fave, you know, a genocidal maniac, Christopher Columbus.
00:45:24
Speaker
Which, how many Italians do you know named Christopher Columbus? Let's be real. i mean, he was Italian. That's what he said. Yeah, but his name wasn't no damn Christopher Columbus. he was a He was Italian from Italy. Well, they might have...
00:45:39
Speaker
Christopher is ah is ah is a Christian name.
00:45:43
Speaker
That man's name wasn't no damn Christopher Columbus. But y'all, it was the Spanish to send him over here. So what?
00:45:51
Speaker
Y'all are ridiculous. Being strong and wrong at ah out of Los Angeles. Being strong and wrong out of San Francisco.
00:46:04
Speaker
Being strong and wrong living in New Mexico. Y'all be strong and wrong. I was going to say Taco Bell, that's American. Y'all be strong and wrong with a burrito.
00:46:22
Speaker
You love the culture. You love to commodify the people.
00:46:29
Speaker
And you think you can do that while sam simultaneously not loving the people. You can't. We see through it.
00:46:37
Speaker
Period. Sorry. I didn't just, I didn't say that. Cause y'all, y'all, y'all, again, the, the arguments are so so dumb cause y'all don't read.
00:46:52
Speaker
That it's so easy to refute. Not to mention, hey say, say that Benito is not American.
00:47:06
Speaker
Neither is Rihanna. She is from Barbados. Shakira is from Colombia. Yeah, know where is from. The Weeknd, Canada. You also got U2, Paul McCartney, Coldplay, Sting, Shania Twain, also Canadian, The Rolling Stones, Phil Co... You got a whole host.
00:47:30
Speaker
of non-American artists who have performed in the Super Bowl halftime show. Well, actually, now that I think about that, now that might be the reason why they're mad. It was like, can't we get an American? You did. You have Bad Bunny. You did.
00:47:42
Speaker
You got Bad Bunny. He's an American. Last year, you had Kendrick Lamar. Nobody's more California than Kendrick Lamar. and And then this year, you got Bad Bunny.
00:47:53
Speaker
You've got two American artists. Boom, boom. right at One right after the other. You're welcome. But they're not the American that Pete Hegseth wants to see reflected in our military, right? They're not the American that is acceptable to these conservatives, these right-wing conservatives.
00:48:16
Speaker
What they want is white, cisgender, cisgender.
00:48:22
Speaker
old ass, what was his name? Lee Greenwood. Lee Greenwood. Hey, Lee Greenwood, we ain't knocking you. We not knocking you. I never knew about you. and Never in my life.
00:48:33
Speaker
That's why I can't really say anything about this. Lee McGregor might be bumping. I don't know. i don't know. Honestly, I might check him out after the show. think I'm going to, too.
00:48:44
Speaker
Because I just want to be able, like, let me at least see. Right. Let me see. It might be, you know, it might be sample worthy. But i know you actually, that's the difference.
00:48:57
Speaker
That's the difference of people who are accepting here and people who aren't. Yeah, y'all might see me on this show next week talking about, yo, if y'all ain't heard Lee Craywell, you're missing out. Like, you don't know. don't know. I can't say nothing about that man.
00:49:16
Speaker
But the fact that I don't know who the hell that is. And I wouldn't say I got my finger on the pulse of, like, pop culture. But, damn, I'm not living under a rock. i don't know who that is.
00:49:29
Speaker
Don't know. I mean, he's also 82 years old, so I don't know a lot of artists that are 82 years old. I don't know a lot of people that are 82 years old. That is amazing yeah for an American.
00:49:41
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. It'd be funny if Lee Greenwood wasn't an American, but he is, I think. yeah Didn't do the research on that. He could possibly not be. And it's funny, I think I say his name so much.
00:49:54
Speaker
All I did was type Lee into Google and the first one that popped up, that this old man, he looked good. This is him, like recently. 82, hey look, won a couple of Grammys. I'm not knocking it, but that the the idea that Lee Greenwood would appeal to more people than Bad Bunny is the only argument I'm making.
Ethics and Empathy in Personal Stories
00:50:17
Speaker
It's like, huh? What? Right. Okay, okay. So one of his big songs is 84. God bless the USA. Okay, no. I was thinking of God bless America.
00:50:30
Speaker
So no, I don't know who Lee Greenwood is. I thought I might. If it was born in the USA, I know that. Yeah, I don't know. But we ain't knocking you, Lee Greenwood. But what we are excited about is Bad Bunny. And I'm going to be out there.
00:50:46
Speaker
Look, saying words that I don't even know the meaning to and just mouthing I'm going to be a beat behind because I want to say the words that he's saying, but I don't know the words or the lyrics.
00:50:59
Speaker
So I'm trying to read the closed captioning. Right. Yep. Yep. So in that I can't. Yeah. but I might hurt my knee. I might hurt my knee jumping around because Bad Bunny's music will get you hyped. That is for sure.
00:51:10
Speaker
Listen, if you need good workout music. Bad Bunny is it. Bad Bunny is it.
00:51:26
Speaker
All right, Jay, I know we typically reserve this for the YouTube exclusives, but this one was kind of good. And as somebody who has owned businesses and have has gotten online reviews that have been good and bad, personally, felt like this story, it was a personal story for me.
00:51:48
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. So I'm just going read the headline for those of you who don't watch our YouTube exclusives, which by the way, why are you not watching the YouTube exclusives? Like you do realize that that's original content that is not clipped from anything that you hear on the audio version.
00:52:05
Speaker
That's specifically only for YouTube. You can get it only on YouTube except if I do a special sneak peek on the audio version, which doesn't happen that often. There are right hours and hours of content that is strictly on YouTube only.
00:52:20
Speaker
You should check it out. And I be going off in the YouTube exclusives, y'all. YouTube exclusives, look. The YouTube exclusives is almost an after I was uncensored. Almost.
00:52:32
Speaker
um Almost. I don't cuss as much. As much. Yeah, like, if y'all not, if y'all, and, and don't, and I trip sometimes because I look at the audio streams and I look at the streams on YouTube and YouTube, the videos take a little while to catch up.
00:52:49
Speaker
And also, sometimes people are just like, it's so much on YouTube. Like, I can't ah can't keep up. Like, I got to wait and binge everything. And i'm like, okay, i get that. yeah So we've been decreasing as much as have we've been putting on YouTube, but still a lot of original content.
00:53:04
Speaker
A lot less clips that you would all always hear on audio or video. But Y'all, so much stuff on our YouTube page. And I see the numbers and I'm like, our YouTube numbers is cool.
00:53:16
Speaker
Them audio streams is crazy. And that means y'all not getting the full weight of unsolicited perspectives network because you ain't checking out what we got on YouTube.
00:53:27
Speaker
If you think you don't have YouTube, if you got a Gmail account, you got YouTube. got YouTube. You got YouTube. Okay. So and it's everyone has a Gmail account. If you're still AOL, well and I know some of you are. Or Yahoo.

00:54:36
Speaker
Y'all go back and be how you was in the past and build me a house. I seen the, what is it? The, uh, the, what The people versus loving or whatever. That man built her a house. He put some center blocks on the ground and said, this gonna be your house.
00:54:50
Speaker
And it sure was a house when he was done. Okay. If you do that, I'm cooking clean. Nah, I need professional builders to build my home.
00:55:00
Speaker
That's just how I feel about the situation. Shoot. But anyway. So, here's the Reddit post. My husband, a 33-year-old male, has an odd hobby of writing fake restaurant reviews.
00:55:12
Speaker
He doesn't get paid or anything. He just finds it fun. He'll visit a local spot with me, take pictures of the food, and then later write a dramatic review online under a fake name.
00:55:22
Speaker
Sometimes he raves about the place like it's Michelin level. Other times he pretends to be an angry customer and complains about raw chicken or rude server, even though none of it actually happened.
00:55:33
Speaker
At first, I thought it was harmless. I even laughed at some of the over-the-top ones he wrote. But last week, a small Korean restaurant we both love had to close temporarily after health inspectors showed up apparently tipped off by multiple complaints about food safety.
00:55:49
Speaker
My husband swears it wasn't his review that did it, but he had written one saying his wife got food poisoning after eating there. I didn't. I was fine. I was also furious.
00:56:01
Speaker
The owners are sweet elderly couple who worked so hard to build that place up. I told my husband it wasn't funny anymore and that he needed to stop posting lies. He got defensive and said I was overreacting and that everyone knows online reviews are fake anyway.
00:56:17
Speaker
Now we're not speaking much. I'm still angry. And he still thinks I'm being uptight and making a big deal out of nothing. I don't think I'm being unreasonable. I think I'm I think making a fake bad reviews that can hurt someone's business is actually a jerk move.
00:56:32
Speaker
But maybe I'm missing something. So am I the jerk for calling him out and telling him to stop? No, and I guarantee that there's some laundry that needs to be folded.
00:56:43
Speaker
Like, don't... but Please don't piss me off. Like, honestly... There's always laundry needs to be folded. Always. ah he He got one foot into catfishing people. Like, this is... There are people who, like...
00:56:58
Speaker
who who can't not lie like this, like scam people or create fake accounts or or write fake reviews. Obviously, like this is this is not ah normal thing to do, especially to like honestly dedicate this much of his energy to it.
00:57:20
Speaker
It's not normal. it's not a It's not a normal hobby. It's not a cool hobby either. It would be one thing if you go and you're just raving about a place, right?
00:57:31
Speaker
But to create a fake bad review... that could potentially impact somebody's financial life, right? Like their business, you how much people put into these, ah especially restaurants.
00:57:48
Speaker
How much money, have y'all ever seen, what is a restaurant impossible or whatever the hell, whatever those shows in where they go in and try to save a failing restaurant? People have double and triple mortgaged their homes. Like people have put a lot into.
00:58:03
Speaker
A dream. Like a dream. And for you to go online and take a shit on it for no reason. But to be funny.
00:58:14
Speaker
But to amuse only yourself because who else are you amusing with this? Honestly, you're doing it. It's only for you. Ain't nobody following you on Yelp.
00:58:26
Speaker
Like nobody's doing that. and And you know what? It's so, I never understood that kind of humor of like,
00:58:39
Speaker
ah like attacking somebody kind of, he the how is that funny? It's not funny. It's not funny. You're not being uptight. You're not being unreasonable. You're being a human being with some compassion and empathy.
00:58:55
Speaker
And it's super, super weird that your husband does not have empathy for the people that he could be hurting with these fake reviews.
00:59:08
Speaker
Girl, look, and what you need to do is look up reviews for your local attorneys
00:59:17
Speaker
and have them draft up some papers so you can move on with your life. Y'all 33, y'all, yall you'all you got your whole life ahead. Don't spend it with somebody with this weird ass hobby who is not empathetic in the least, like, or compassionate in the least. Now, now, you this is a bigger problem than you think it is.
00:59:36
Speaker
It's a bigger problem because in the black community, we have this thing called putting a hundred on 10. It's an embellishment of the truth, right? Like it's still based in truth.
00:59:48
Speaker
It could be, I was walking down the street the other day and the true story is I stripped over, I tripped over a crack in the sidewalk. fell on fell in the grass, right? That ain't how I'm gonna tell it. That's not how I'm gonna tell it.
01:00:02
Speaker
I was walking down the street. Go ahead, tell your story because I know it's gonna be funnier than mine. Y'all, I was walking down the street, wow, almost bust my ass. one Y'all, when I will not tell you I was falling for 20 minutes, i did it's going to be a whole, obviously, I just tripped.
01:00:20
Speaker
Right. my Maybe I failed, maybe I didn't. Mine would be, man, I was crossing the street, and this car was coming around corner real fast. I'm like, man, what the hell is you doing? Right. And so I jumped up on the sidewalk and I'm yelling at the car. He yelling back at me.
01:00:34
Speaker
Talk about move out the way. I'm like, man, I got the right way. What the hell are you doing? And as I turn, this woman was walking her dog and she was yelling at me, yelling at me, yelling at the man saying that I was in the wrong. And I said, you need to mind your business. As we talking back and forth, I'm backing up because, you know, I'm not trying to get into an altercation.
01:00:52
Speaker
And as I was backing up, I tripped. And fell in the grass on some dog shit. And I said, you know what, Lord? This is just ain't my day. Yeah. And then I went home.
01:01:03
Speaker
The true story is, just tripped on the sidewalk. Yeah. But that's putting 100 on 10. Yes. What my man is doing is not putting 100 10. That's not what he's doing. ah these For our for our ah ah non-colored audience, it's making a mountain out of a molehill.
01:01:20
Speaker
There you go. There you go. Yeah. yeah ah Covering all the bases here is culturally. Covering all the bases. He's, as you said, doing something. He's making up stories to amuse himself but hurting other people and not taking accountability for it.
01:01:36
Speaker
None. Yeah. Saying that nobody pays attention to online reviews. I do. Whenever I order something on Amazon and I'm like, oh, this is kind of pricey. Let me look at the reviews. i always scale two things.
01:01:50
Speaker
One, most recent. I'm looking through all the most recent. And then I'm going to all the bad reviews because I want to see if they're crazy or if they have a point.
01:02:00
Speaker
If all of them have a uniform theme to it, the bad reviews, I'm like, oh, this is something I need to look out for. and But I also need to know what is bad. Is it the seller or the product?
01:02:12
Speaker
Right. Right? So if the product is fine, but you had issues with the seller, okay, I'm probably still going to buy it. And pray I don't have issues with the seller. right pray right
01:02:26
Speaker
This person, it and it speaks to a larger issue, like you said.
01:02:31
Speaker
This person is sitting up here making up stories to entertain himself. How far does that imagination go? How far does that lying go? When do you get to this? is We talked about it before.
01:02:44
Speaker
When do you stop looking at people and what they do to others? Right. And saying it is not me. It's what they do to others before they actually do it to you. And if this is an issue where it caused harm, maybe you did, maybe it didn't, but it said he got food poisoning.
01:03:02
Speaker
Odds are if they had to close, it was more than just one complaint. So i am going to give that dude a bit of of a doubt, but that might have led the charge. And also they had to close. It wasn't like they had they the health inspector came is like and actually nothing was wrong. right and and And they were fine. But they had to close, which means found things.
01:03:28
Speaker
Right, he found things. But that's neither here nor there. Neither here nor there. That's neither here nor there. It's about how it could potentially harm. People can read these reviews like, i'm not going there. And they can lose out on business because you wanted to make a bad review.
01:03:43
Speaker
great which was a fake review. And I've had situations, you know, when I had the wrestling company and I've had tutoring companies and, you know, I was doing my own thing with personal training before I was hired with the company I'm at right now.
01:03:58
Speaker
People would give reviews something like that. And I'm like, that's a, that's a damn lie. What you just said, what you just said is a lie and you're damaging my name and you lucky that I don't come out of myself and smack you up and down the street because you lying on my reputation.
01:04:17
Speaker
Like that's some serious stuff that you're doing when you're lying on somebody's reputation. For fun? For shits and giggles that is only for you.
01:04:28
Speaker
Because even your wife is like, sometimes I laugh, but most of the time I just thought it was stupid. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think she should write a review of him and put it online and make up some stuff and see how he likes it It's the no accountability.
01:04:44
Speaker
You know, it's that. Ooh, it does hurt. Everything is funny. Jason Pell says it all the time. Everything is funny until it happens to you. Right. Everything is funny until it happens to you. So you think it's funny.
01:04:56
Speaker
Let somebody let's let somebody go to your place of employment and write a fake review on how you interacted with them and see how that cost you your job. Then you wouldn't think it's so funny.
01:05:08
Speaker
Then you would have a problem with it. Honestly, just show him the Reddit post in the comments and then he'll see, oh, dang, it really hurts when people online say crap about you.
01:05:20
Speaker
Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe. Some people can't be reached. I think it's a bigger issue that he doesn't see the ways in which he could potentially be harmful.
01:05:34
Speaker
I think that's a bigger issue. doesn't care. Yes, it's only a matter of time before somebody like that. Nobody is the exception. We need all the rules. So there's no... You're not... Just because you're his wife doesn't mean that you... There have probably been subtle ways...
01:05:51
Speaker
in which he has done this to you. Or to your family members or your friends or, you know, just talking to you, throwing shade about, well, you know, your friend said this to me. And that probably ain't never even happened.
01:06:03
Speaker
he but He might have broke up some friendships. You might want to examine. Yeah. Everything he's ever told
Conclusion: Value of Education and Knowledge Sharing
01:06:09
Speaker
you. Yep.
01:06:11
Speaker
Yep. And then make a TikTok series out of it so we can all watch it. Please do that. Please do that because I watch it. I bet that would be great. Yeah. Whatever happened to Risa Tisa? You know what she's doing? She got a Netflix deal.
01:06:26
Speaker
I think there's going a movie coming out. About her? there's just Well, okay. About her situation. The whole drama of everything. he got to sign off on that, though. No, he doesn't.
01:06:37
Speaker
It's her life story. No, when you put other people in your life story, they got to sign off on that. ah Change his name. ah Okay. I don't know what the legalities are there, but Netflix will figure it out. On that note, Jay, do you want to tell the people out here?

We're in the main show, not after hour, so you got to be careful right now. not yeah I said what I said. Okay.
01:07:16
Speaker
All right. Hey, look, check it out, y'all. It don't necessarily have to be a book. You can just read articles every day. You can even be inspired by somebody's social media posts causing you to think about one particular topic and then go do some research on it. That's how I learned about the lavender scare that we just talked about last episode.
01:07:41
Speaker
Don't take much. Something sparks your interest. Don't take what the poster sayings were for it. Hell, don't even take even our word for it. Now, we did the research before we came on here, so you can yes pretty much take our word for it.
01:07:54
Speaker
But still do your own research. Don't bake on everything that we say as gospel. Because I ain't write all the time. Like 99.7% the time. But not all the time.
01:08:07
Speaker
At any rate.
