Sibling Happy Hour with Jay Andrea
00:00:36
Speaker
today's episode, it's the Sibling Happy Hour. I'm here with my sis, Jay Andrea. We're gonna be dilly-dallying a little bit. Then we're gonna be talking about Snoop and Rick Ross at the inauguration. And then we're gonna be talking about a funny story or an interesting story about my brother and sister from back in the day. But that's enough of the intro. Let's get to the show.
00:01:02
Speaker
What
Bruce's Kettle Chip Addiction
00:01:03
Speaker
up, sis? What up, brother? I can't call it. I can't call it. Well, I can call it. Let me rephrase it. I feel like that can't be your, you're opening it more because you can all, for the last few episodes, you could call it. No, there's been some times where I haven't called it. True. But I can call it this one. Okay. And here's the reason why.
Balancing Health and Indulgence
00:01:27
Speaker
Ever since I got back from Atlanta, I've been on this chip addiction.
00:01:31
Speaker
yeah Now, I routinely go in and out, but in 2024, there was a six month period where I did not touch a chip. I'm talking about potato chips. yeah No munchies, no potato chips, nothing.
Chip Overload Strategy
00:01:44
Speaker
So I know I can cut them out. yeah but you don't want to But since I've got back from land, it's been bad too. Harris Teeter sells these kettle chips. okay The big bag for $2.50. I'm going through a bag a day.
00:01:58
Speaker
Yeah. Here's the thing, you know, live your life. We're at an age where it's like, yeah, we got to be conscious of our health and stuff because we're getting older. But also, as we get older, I feel like quality of life becomes more and more important. And if chips make you have you work out enough,
00:02:19
Speaker
that you can have you some chips and not beat yourself up about it. This is true, but not a bag a day. The big bag, not the snack bag. If it was a snack bag. The family size. The family size. Well, not the three pound bag. You know how they go different tiers. You got the snack bag, you got the regular bag, and then you got the gigantic bag. I'm doing a regular bag. Oh, OK. But it's still a bag a day. So I decided.
00:02:43
Speaker
How am I going to cut this chip addiction? Because it's it's I guess I'm craving the salt. That's probably what it is. I'm craving the salt. How can I cut this addiction? I'm going to OD on chips. So yesterday. yeah Yesterday I ate two bags of chips, felt like not the greatest this morning. and yeah And today I'm going to eat a bag of munchies and that's going to cure it. also
Advice on Easing off Chips
00:03:05
Speaker
ladies and gentlemen okay well Also, ladies and gentlemen, if you're watching the video, you might think, hey, Bruce looks like he kind of swollen. I am because I'm bloated as hell from all the salt and the chips. Hold on all the water. And yeah I do not like looking bloated.
00:03:21
Speaker
I don't. so I'm on this camera too much and my face is out there entirely. Too much right for me to be looking bloated. So yes, I need to cut this chip addiction and I'm going to do it by ODing on chips. Today is the last day. Today is the last damn day.
00:03:38
Speaker
OK, it more sounds like you're giving in to your cheap addiction. Yeah, no, yeah, that's what it is. And you're rationalizing it by saying, I'll just go OD on chips and then it will procure
Healthier Snacking and TikTok Shutdown
00:03:50
Speaker
me. But that's not how overdosing works. Because if it did, we'd have a lot fewer people on drugs. So I think. No, you oh see, I'm ODing to get to the body.
00:04:05
Speaker
Okay. Okay. I'm going to get to the bottom and I was almost there this morning, but I'm still craving. um I'm like, I feel good. Like I took a shower and everything. I feel good. I can eat some more chips. I'm one more but chip addiction day away ah from being cured. And I won't want any more chips for a little while. Yeah. Again, that's not really how rock bottom works. Still like people hit rock bottom all the time and then they keep going with their dick. I think you should just like slowly wean yourself off chips, like have fewer and fewer and fewer each day until you're not eating as many chips. I don't think overdosing on chips till you get sick of it. i don't I don't think you're gonna get sick of it. Chips are delicious.
00:04:52
Speaker
No, I've done this before. I will get sick of it. And also, I've got to make sure that they're not in the house. yeah First of all, I need to go to the grocery store and buy my groceries for the week and not step foot in the grocery store anymore for that week.
TikTok's Impact on Marginalized Creators
00:05:07
Speaker
That'll help solve the problem. Yeah. Will this be these midnight drunk munchies that I'd be like, I want some chips. Yeah. I'm on a popcorn thing right now. I'm eating a lot of popcorn. You know what will solve that?
00:05:20
Speaker
Nothing, because popcorn is delicious. Popcorn is delicious, yeah. ah And they got, what is it? Not Pop Secret, what's the other one? Ovel Redenbacher, that Ovel Redenbacher, they have something called Ultimate Butter now. Like it used to, it was butter, and then they had movie theater butter, and then they had like butter lovers, and now they have Ultimate Butter. Not butter lovers.
00:05:49
Speaker
I feel like butter lovers was a thing. I don't think that was fair. I ain't never heard of brother lovers. I ain't heard of butter lovers. I feel like butter lovers. Okay, now I gotta to look at, okay, so act two popcorn has butter lovers. Well, I ain't never heard of no act two, so. Yeah, act act two popcorn. But yeah, now they got something called ultimate butter and it is delicious. And I just popped some, it's in the microwave. When we take a break, I'm gonna go grab it. And ah so if y'all hear some
00:06:26
Speaker
No, you're not. You're in the mic. I'll mute. I'll mute. No, don't. You should have did that before we started recording, OK? I'm so obsessed with this popcorn. Yeah, I know. Popcorn, hey, look. Me, it's the Smart Pop, specifically from Costco. I don't know what they put in that giant bag of the Smart Pop, but I will go through it. Also, popcorn is better for me because it makes sure that I floss every single day. Yeah, i i there is no way I eat that popcorn without a floss pick. The first thing I do is I put the popcorn in a bowl, I go get a floss pick, then I sit down and eat the popcorn. Jay, the transition from popcorn and a chip addiction, another addiction that people had in this country went away yesterday.
00:07:13
Speaker
yeah It was last night. They said it was today. We're filming on Sunday. They said it was today, but it was actually last night. TikTok is actually, oh, it's gone. And what pisses me off the most is that I recorded an episode having a whole segment talking about TikTok and Elon Musk talking about buying it. And then a news report literally camp comes out the very next day that TikTok said, nah, we just going to cut it off on Sunday. And I said, damn, I did that whole segment. It was for nothing. And TikTok is really gone. I has tried to log on today and it's gone. Yeah, i I even tried using my VPN logging in through Canada and it still won't work. i They really the company's just like, Oh, we're just gonna shut it down. Yeah, completely not bar the US. Just shut it down completely. And people are heartbroken. Yeah. And as well, they should be, you know, a lot of people um created on a lot of different platforms, but also on tik tok, like created like,
00:08:13
Speaker
a life in that it was their primary source of income. And not just that, it was a lot of creators of color making money and you know,
00:08:27
Speaker
ah creating a life for themselves and their families using TikTok that no longer have that avenue. And you know I know people are like, yeah, these apps come and go. They and they they come, they then they phase out, and things like that. There'll be something else that comes after. But in the meantime, like everybody knows that the main platform I feel like people were making money off of recently since the pandemic has been TikTok.
00:08:52
Speaker
And it's not just like black creators, it's Asian creators, Latino creators, indigenous creators, like women, other underrepresented groups, like the differently abled and things like that they are make that are not just getting information out there about their communities, but also but being able to like support themselves with their content. ah You know, I watched the Senate hearing I watched bits and pieces of it. I couldn't watch the whole thing because it was honestly just embarrassing. I believe it was the CEO of TikTok. It was Singaporean, and they kept asking him about his connection or affiliation with China or the Chinese government. He kept responding, I'm Singaporean. It's such an embarrassment, a threat to national security. First of all,
00:09:46
Speaker
The internet is a threat to national security. Let's be honest, like the internet in general, the moment you sign on to the worldwide interwebs, you put yourself out there.
Data Privacy and Platform Comparisons
00:10:00
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? You put yourself, your information, your data, everything out there for potential ne'er-do-wells, whatever. but that' That's a real... um What is that? What is ne of nefarious characters. Okay. Well, not everybody's an English major. Stop using real strong SAT words. That's one that majority of the population don't know. You just throw it out words.
00:10:26
Speaker
I mean, you get it from the context clues, I mean. Yeah, I mean, I got it. I knew, but I was like, you I need a definition on that word. That don't even sound like somebody that, Nair-Do-Well. ah Look, that could be a black name. Nair-Do-Well, Jenkins.
00:10:46
Speaker
yeah Um, yes. So what I was saying in my segment that I filmed was that, yes, people are going to lose money. My main argument was at the time, and there's still some talk, there's whispers, rumors, you know, things in the background of Elon Musk buying it. And I was like, why would we be happy if he bought, he destroyed x I call it X now because it's no longer Twitter. So it is a different platform like he he threw down He destroyed the value of it and it cost people money and he's as he's destroying the value of it So why would we want him to take over tick-tock? I do agree there is something to be said of a Chinese government
00:11:33
Speaker
owning a social media platform, developing algorithms that people cannot figure out, huh and being able to take people's information and push stuff. But then again,
00:11:48
Speaker
Instagram, even though it's American owned, has the same capability of doing something like that. and Also, you you give no one has called in the gun to our head and saying, sign up for this app. We are willingly accepting the terms of agreement, yeah the terms of use. Yeah, but people don't read that. People don't read it. If you are concerned about it, don't get on the app.
00:12:14
Speaker
Well, yeah, yeah. And again, it's not run by a Chinese government. He's Singaporean. No, the CEO is actually owned by a Chinese company. Okay, but again,
00:12:27
Speaker
You don't have to get on the end. Nobody is saying you
Competitors Struggle to Match TikTok
00:12:31
Speaker
have to be. I haven't been on since the election. I have not. I've not been on TikTok at all. I just logged on today because I saw on Instagram that it was gone. And I just wanted to log on and see for myself. And sure enough, the little pop-up came up that we are due to the US band. We've shut down. And we're no longer available. So I just feel like,
00:12:57
Speaker
Yeah, something else is going to replace it. or We know that like it because you know the what the first iteration of this was what, Vine or something that was hugely popular. Vine was huge. Vine, there are Vine stars that became Instagram stars that became stars in movies movie yeah music and things like that. So there'll be something else replacing it. yeah um And hey, guess what? If you're an American engineer,
00:13:24
Speaker
Develop something. but yeah But the funny thing is, is there have been other apps that tried to mimic Twitter, threads, Blue Sky, and they just aren't catching on like Twitter has. Some people know about threads only because it's connected to the Instagram. I told somebody about Blue Sky. They were like, what is that? I was like, Blue Sky has actually been around for a while. It was, for the longest time, only invited, you can only be invited in.
00:13:51
Speaker
huh But now it's just like, all right, we just go open up and everybody and it hasn't popped. Like something I've never heard. This is the first I'm ever hearing of Blue Sky. Blue Sky, it is exactly a ah like Twitter, but not as popular as Twitter. And so is threads not as popular as Twitter and Twitter isn't even as popular. So something might be replaced because Vine was popular, but nowhere near as popular as TikTok.
00:14:17
Speaker
Right. Yeah. So the the next iteration of this is, you know, it's going to come out and it'll be even more popular to be next thing. So like it's. I know that that's how this works, like especially like social media. That's how it works. But still, it really sucks. I personally loved TikTok. My TikTok veered more towards political content, which is why I got off to sort of hopefully like reset my algorithm. But by the time I'm ready to come back, be like, oh, no, we're gone.
Influencer Adaptation Post-TikTok
00:14:49
Speaker
I'm like, oh. Well, originally, my TikTok veered towards women shaking butts. But then it got political. because i
00:14:58
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I'm a creep on that social media. It's just it is what it is. and ah ah i i'm not I'm not upset TikTok went away because I tried to grow my TikTok followers, or at least a TikTok following for this podcast. And it would get a lot of views and some comments and just the the followers just weren't coming. So I was like, yeah screw this, I can grow followers quicker on on Instagram. And I have. So yeah I'm not upset. And it's another platform that I don't have to post content. all yeah um all Not really disappointed about that. yeah Because it's coming up with these hashtags for all these different platforms. They're all different. They're all have different types of engagement. Yeah, I'm not I'm not too disappointed. ah But I understand why other people would be disappointed, especially those people that were out there getting money. There's people out there getting monies. And a lot of them have already like transitioned to Instagram and using Reels because they they pop up on my you know people I should follow or whatever. And I'm like, oh, I followed this person on TikTok. Okay, they're increasing because people were already gearing up for the TikTok band. so
00:16:09
Speaker
You can still see your favorite content creators on reals. I don't know if the money is the same, though. I think I think money was easier to make. It was easier to pop on TikTok than it was than it is on Instagram, just because Instagram has been around longer. yeah So TikTok was like, give us all these new people. And oh, oh, my goodness, there's a new person over there. Oh, there's a new person over there. And it was easy to do.
00:16:31
Speaker
like duets and things like that. But TikTok, once they started making it difficult to start doing music on TikTok, that was already becoming a problem. And I think you got the the additional layer of TikTok shop where content creators can you know pick endorse products and get you know a percentage of the sales if you go through there. So so it they there were a a couple of different avenues that you could make money on TikTok that really aren't available on Instagram. So I don't know, we'll see what happens. I just feel like it was dumb and it sucks.
00:17:07
Speaker
Damn, now that you reminded me, I forgot I had a bunch of stuff in my TikTok shop. Damn, my cart was full of stuff. And I don't remember not none of the things. Not none of them. That's the thing that I am of. But it was full of little gadgets. Yes. Hey, look, my coffee table bought it on TikTok shop. I had a bunch of different stuff. I wonder if I could still access the cart. I guess it don't matter. I got
Controversial Performances at Trump's Inauguration
00:17:32
Speaker
this foot massager.
00:17:35
Speaker
an eye massager that I actually- What's an eye massager? Yeah, it's like this little thing you put it, it's like goggles and it massages your temples. It like it has pressure from like um like, it'll fill up with air and then release. So it does like a little massage. and So it's for people with migraines, sinus headaches, things like that. And it works really well.
00:17:58
Speaker
and I actually did an ad for it, and the company reposted my ad, but now I can't do i can't make no money off that because TikTok is closed down. so you know Nah, I don't trust no eye massager. That sounds like it's going to pop your eyeball out. I'm not messing with that. It will absolutely not do that. So incredibly difficult thing to do. Well, I don't trust it. But anyway, speaking of popping eyeballs out. No, that's not a transition to anything. No, it is. Because my eyeballs damn near popped out of my head when I found out that Snoop Dogg was going to be performing at anything associated with Donald Trump's inauguration. And we're going to get into that next.
00:18:50
Speaker
All right, Jay, like I said, my eyeballs almost popped out my head. Yeah, shout out to that segue because I didn't think you I i didn't know how you were going to make it. But you make that work. And I can't I can't even be mad at that. Like shout out to that segue. Let me tell you something. Yeah, when it comes to this thing, I'm getting.
00:19:08
Speaker
a lot better. We're getting better. Oh, yeah one, before we get into this, one of our friends, one of our mutual friends, contacted me Friday night. And he was like, Hey, send me the link to when y'all was talking about this. And I send in Lincoln this one. It's literally on the 40th episode. And by the way, we're coming up on our 200th episode. This is 196.
00:19:29
Speaker
So ladies and gentlemen, if y'all got some ideas of what we should do for our 200 episode, please send it to us because I don't know what to do to celebrate that milestone. And the thing is, I have a tiara. I bought a tiara for a 100th episode, but how how in the world am I going to get a 200 tiara? Like, I don't know. i don't I don't know. But they contacted me, and and they they wanted to get the clip. And then the clip was on the 40th episode. And I'm looking at it, and I'm cringing. I'm cringing for several reasons. I'm cringing for the setup. I'm cringing for the graphics. I'm cringing for the audio, the video. I'm cringing on.
00:20:07
Speaker
the fact that, like like, we weren't as polished as far as this is concerned. And hell, yeah, I've gotten better. Because that segue was phenomenal if I don't say so myself. It was great. and I can't even be mad. It was great. But speaking of the segue, let's get to it. So Soupdog and Rick Ross made headlines for the performance at Donald Trump's inauguration event, starring a mix of reactions from fans and critics alike.
00:20:35
Speaker
Snoop Dogg and Rick Ross decided to perform at the Crypto Ball. He performed a celebration titled the Crypto Ball, which took place in January 19th, 2025 at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, DC. This event was organized by cryptocurrency executives to celebrate Trump's inauguration set for January 20th, 2025. So,
00:20:58
Speaker
yeah For those people that are coming to, well, he was just performing at an event. The event was specifically to celebrate President Trump being elected. OK? Yes. The tickets for the event were notably expensive, ranging from $2,500 to $5,000, attracting a blend of celebrities, politicians, and crypto enthusiasts. Snoop took the stage alongside other performers, including Rick Ross and Soulja Boy.
00:21:27
Speaker
Now, before I get into the public reaction and criticism, I just want to ah get your initial thoughts on the fact that Snoop Dogg, who, by the way, campaigned for Kamala Harris, had a video that was completely shitting on Donald J. Trump.
00:21:49
Speaker
and shitting on anybody that supported him. This was just a few months ago. yeah
Celebrity Influence and Personal Benefits
00:21:55
Speaker
Now performing at an event to celebrate Donald J. Trump's inauguration. Yeah. How do you feel about this? ah It makes sense. Listen, as as a lot of people know, Snoop was working to get Michael Harris haro ah pardoned,
00:22:21
Speaker
which Trump did pardon Harris. So in a and a January 2024 interview with the Sunday Times, Snoop said that Trump, quote, ain't done nothing wrong to me.
00:22:34
Speaker
He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris. So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump. And this is, um that's surprising to me because too many, too often, and I'm talking to black people here, too often, y'all are willing to accept the bare damn minimum
00:23:05
Speaker
from from people, and then and you give them flowers for it if it. I don't know anything about Michael Harris, so if he was supposed to be pardoned or not supposed to be pardoned, I don't know. I don't know anything about that. I could see i can give you a breakdown of Hario after you you finish talking.
00:23:23
Speaker
but That is not enough to overlook all of the harm and damage that Donald Trump has caused and continues to cause and will continue to cause for this country. and and And the problem is, there's a specific term I want to use, but I'm not going to use it. It's rich black folks. I was going to use that word, but I'm not going to do that.
00:23:52
Speaker
yeah please but yeah But it's rich black folks and who's whose wealth has, ah and a certain ah to a certain extent, insulated them from you know some of the disadvantages that black people have to face, right? this is That they once faced. That they once faced, but now their wealth sort of insulates them against that and they quickly forgot.
00:24:21
Speaker
And they quickly forgot about vulnerable communities, including their own community. And
Community Impact of Celebrity Choices
00:24:29
Speaker
as long as it serves their self-interest, they're willing to do or support someone who is intentionally causing harm in their community. ah I find it absolutely disgusting, not just Snoop, not just Rick Ross. Nellie, I saw you there too, buddy. We're not gonna forget.
00:24:50
Speaker
Quick question. Where is Chrisette Michelle and Mary Mary? Gone. we don't You ain't heard an album out of any of them since. I don't even know who that is. they Exactly. They were former very popular artists. Mary Mary were were gospel artists, and Chrisette Michelle was an R and&B artist. You know, it's like, I think I'm just about over being a girlfriend.
00:25:18
Speaker
yeah that okay Yeah. So it was popular artists and they performed for Trump's inauguration or or they you all gave words of support or something like that. And they never heard of them again. Now, there is this additional layer of them being black women.
00:25:37
Speaker
So the community at or writ large is going to be naturally harder on them. And there's, you know, you also have to combat the growing support of Trump within the black male community. But like y'all y'all, and this is a common problem. I keep seeing it over and over. We saw with little Wayne, we see what y'all are letting y'all money blind you.
00:26:07
Speaker
to the ills in your own community. And you think just because what you have a foundation or you coach youth football that you are what exempt from any criticism? Nah, bruh. Nah.
00:26:22
Speaker
It's disgusting. Y'all have no business being there. Okay. Yes. He pardoned somebody. If they were supposed to be, well, his sentence was commuted. If they were supposed, if that was supposed to happen to now, you're going to let me know. I don't know. I don't know nothing about this dude. Okay. Then all he did was the right thing. That doesn't mean that you have to go out of your way to participate in his inauguration of failure. What are you doing?
00:26:54
Speaker
Nellie is scheduled for the official inaugural event, the Liberty Ball on Monday. What?
00:27:02
Speaker
Nah, man, I can't get behind it. Y'all lost me with that, and you can miss me with it. So, okay. Yes, Snoop did in January of 24 come out and say, hey, Trump didn't do nothing wrong, you know, to me, and he, like, commuted Harry Olsen's, who I'll get into in a minute. But then,
00:27:23
Speaker
In August, in September, and October, he's saying, F Trump. Yeah. So how can you go from he ain't do nothing to me, to F Trump, to I'm going to perform at some of his events? It's the flip-flopping for me. It's the inconsistency for me. And I'm a huge Snoop fan, but not no more. Not anymore. Because you've got to stand on something. you have to You have to have a principle. You have to have a principle as a person.
00:27:52
Speaker
As a, as a, I don't want to make this gender specific, but as a man, me being as a man, speaking as a man, you got to stand on so own something. On something. On something. Yes. Right? If you stand in on money, make say that. Yeah. Say, hey, look, bottom line is, I'm about this money. I'm gonna do whatever it takes. Cool. Lisa, I know that you stand on that, and that's the way you move, and I'll have to respect the way you move.
00:28:15
Speaker
But when you're going back and forth and back and forth, I can't respect the way you move in that regard either. So I'm extremely disappointed in Snoop Dogg. I've been disappointed in Rick Ross ever since he was calling Drake a white boy. Yeah. That turned me off of Rick Ross. Now I'm done. And you know, you know personally. You love Rick Ross. Love Rick Ross. I'm not going to lie to you, I bumped Rick hard. Rick was great. And never mind the fact that he was talking about that he was a drug dealer and he was a correctional officer. Yes. You know what? I can look past that. I can't look past this. Now, who is Hario? Hario was one of the biggest drug traffickers in Los Angeles. When everybody talks about Rick Ross, the real Rick Ross, not the rapper. Yeah, yes, the real Rick Ross. The real Rick Ross.
00:29:01
Speaker
Harry O was right there with them. Harry O is the one that gave Shug Knight the money to start Death Row. So he was a co-owner, co-founder of Death Row and it just so happened that he went to jail and he ain't get his props. He was in jail the whole time a death row was run. So he commuted the sentence of Harry O, which by the way, as far as I can remember, he wasn't convicted of a violent crime.
00:29:25
Speaker
is heavy drug trafficking, and all those guys who were getting basketball score sentences should have been commuted. If you weren't attached to any murders, if they didn't prove that you were a murderer and that you were just selling drugs to the community. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't condone selling drugs to the community, but I mean, sometimes, hey, sometimes you gotta sell drugs to the community, I guess. But that's all he did, right? So that's who Kerrio is.
00:29:54
Speaker
It bothers, the whole thing bothers me. and And I really want to get on, not just them, but this idea of the Republican party being the party of these mentally men.
Weather and Inauguration Impacts
00:30:07
Speaker
You know how mentally they are? I'm in here in DC. Well, I'm in here in DC and it's cold. You know, they moved the inauguration aside.
00:30:16
Speaker
It's gonna be at the Capital One Arena. It's not outside no more. So how how if how tough are you? It has always been. Everybody, listen, we have that wonderful meme of Bernie Sanders in that token gloves, in them knit gloves that ah that are a supporter or a constituent admitted for him, looking cold, legs curled, looking freezing. We have this wonderful meme of him with this, but everybody knows you gonna freeze a little bit going to the, night I went to the first inauguration of Barack Obama and I was frozen solid. And, but you, you walk that 20 miles from where you parked or where you got off the Metro to the mall and you go and you watch the, and you freeze. And that's what it is. And they moved it inside. Wow.
00:31:15
Speaker
There are some people that have traveled. I saw a couple of interviews from Trump supporters that have traveled from far and wide. And you're like, well, wait a minute. So are we going to get to see him or not? And they're like, well, I don't really know. And it's like, well, that kind of sucks. I traveled all this way. And I don't feel bad for him, but I do. Yeah. Like I don't, but I do. And it's like, OK, you voted for this person. You should have seen this comment. He don't care about you. I wonder.
00:31:38
Speaker
how much of it is he doesn't want those aerial pictures of the crowd size like he had at the and his first inauguration where they compared it to Obama's inauguration and showed the very small, you know so they might like rope off parts of the stadium, so they might make more people.
00:32:00
Speaker
That might have something to do with it. But also, I'm going to be real honest, it's cold. It is really cold. It is the coldest here that I ever remember it being cold. Yeah, it's January in DC. No, no, no, no, no. It's always freezing. I done been here for 25 plus Januarys. This January is one of the coldest Januarys. Let me tell you how cold it is. I almost didn't walk to the store yesterday to get my bag of chips. Almost.
00:32:27
Speaker
almost. That's um not a barometer for anything. It is because the grocery store is a block away. Harris Tita is a block away. But back to Rick Ross and I forgot, completely forgot about Nelly. And it's just like, what do you guys stand for? If you support Trump, if you supported Trump the whole nine and and the whole time, and that's what you represent,
00:32:50
Speaker
Cool. and I can't respect it because you're supporting them, but I can respect the fact that you've been steadfast in the fact that you're going to support them. But it's the flip-flopping for me. And it's like, oh, because they're going to give you money. I expect that from Rick Ross. Because I never expected him to have any principles on any real thing. Because he never talks about anything ah besides money.
00:33:11
Speaker
Yeah. and And we know what this completely manufactured persona that he has. Right. but then that breath And you know what? It's about money for Snoop too, because what I am reading here is that even though people thought that death row was over,
00:33:31
Speaker
Harris went right back to work once freed, partnering with Snoop as the COO of an all new Death Row Records. Yeah, Snoop bought Death Row and took Death Row music off of streaming platforms because he's felt that they weren't getting their money.
00:33:48
Speaker
It's branded now as an NFT label and operating in the metaverse. Oh my God. i you know It's about money. The one thing I feel like that came out of 2024 was this idea of standing on business.
00:34:02
Speaker
And which I love because there's too many people that's not standing on business. And as far as I'm concerned, Snoop is not standing on business. Rick is. He's planned into exactly what we all know he is, which is a
00:34:22
Speaker
Fake. might ah Yeah, fake, a money grubber. like We already knew that. Nelly, I mean, I get it. Yay, hey, hey, nothing poppin' says hot in here. It might be a check to you. Ashanti is havin'. I think baby number two, y'all got stuff, y'all got bills to pay. I get that. Ashanti ain't had no album out in a while either, so I get it. yeah you know it's It's about money, and but just realize like UK be mad at the backlash and there is backlash. Yeah, there's been a lot of backlash on social media calling, you know, basically everybody calling them a sellout and
00:35:03
Speaker
so Look, Trump, the reactions on social media include remarks suggesting that performing for Trump contradicted Snoop's past statements, which is what I said, with some fans announcing intentions to boycott his music after learning of his appearance at the event. Like, this is what we're talking about when you said Chrishawn, Michelle, and whatever. Mary, Mary, Mary. Like, yeah okay, look.
00:35:29
Speaker
I saw a headline on Fox News where they were celebrating Snoop Dogg. being at the event. And it's so funny because I bet you that I can look up headlines for Fox News when Snoop was talking ill about Trump and watching Fox News Basham. And for my MAGA people out there like that, when do y'all stand on business? When do y'all say to yourselves, you know what, this is my man and y'all talking issue about my man. I don't care if you had to change your heart. I don't rock with you because I know for a fact that if I rock with somebody hard,
00:36:01
Speaker
And somebody is talking trash about them. I don't rock with that person anymore. They could try to come back and weasel in and be like, I was just playing. We all good now. No, you say what you said. So you stay over there. And then as soon as these people that was talking mad ish about Trump kind of Like, I don't know, just give in. MAGA just welcomes him. JD Vance is another example of this. He called Trump Hitler. And I'm like, where's your backbone as MAGA? Where's your backbone? Y'all say that y'all stand on principle. Where's my principle people out here? That's what I want to know. Where's my principle people? And know not I have friends.
00:36:43
Speaker
I know for a fact, I'm not even going to have the conversation with them because I don't want to hear what they have to say. Because I know for a fact that I have some friends that are just going to be like, so what? I like his music. I don't care. And I'm just like, well, what do you stand for? And I don't want to judge them because they're not standing on business. Not everybody is going to be principled. And maybe sometimes me and you are too damn principled. OK? Maybe. Not everybody is going to be principled about everything, but I feel like you should have an overall value system.
00:37:12
Speaker
Yeah, that's right. That when circumstances come up like this, that you go back to your value system and say, is this something that I can support based on my own personal beliefs about like just human decency? And the answer is no. I can't, I can't support somebody who don't stand on business, period. Like, and you just, you just, you, it seems to me like,
00:37:44
Speaker
you available to the highest bidder. And honestly, that is the definition to me of a sellout. Or a hoe. Or a hoe. I'm being real honest. Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Nelly, and all of them. Looking like a bunch of hoes right now. Trump got y'all on the track, and y'all running. Running.
00:38:04
Speaker
right but he They ain't the only ones. Well, Elon Musk, I think, got Trump on the track. But, you know, Mark Zuckerberg done turned. Jeff Bezos done turned. All of these sucker dudes. All these sucker dudes. They don't get it because, again, it's about money.
00:38:19
Speaker
Yeah, ah trump Trump has already threatened to pull people's TV licenses. I mean, Jeff Bezos owns a company that has an agreement with the United States Postal Service. He also ah runs the Washington Post. like you know like i get like It's a hit to their business to be on the wrong side of a very vindictive person.
00:38:46
Speaker
You're telling me Amazon couldn't negotiate a deal, which they probably already have, with FedEx and UPS, and just cut out the US Postal Service completely? Because I can tell you right now. Not for not a substantial hit. Well, I'm going to tell you right now. Any time you mail something, FedEx something, or UPS something, there is a significant difference in the time period in which it gets to you when you mail it than when you FedEx or UPS something. And I'm going to say this two-day shipping, that ain't mailing.
00:39:16
Speaker
That's FedEx or UPS. So how much is the mail really helping them? And also, you've got more money. if you What's a hit to your business? It's really, it might not even be him. It might be the board that's just saying, we're not going to do this. we need to Because you know when you when you open yourself up to ah being a public company, now you don't really You got to answer to other people. And these people that buy in these companies' bodies shares this, like, what's the bottom line? We want to make money. Everybody about this money. Let me just say, the money is rude or all evil. I like money. But there's also loving things that I'm not willing to do for money. There is no amount of money that Trump could ever throw at me that I would be at that inauguration celebrating his presidency. You could give
Principles vs. Money Debate
00:40:03
Speaker
me a billion dollars. He could say, I'll give you $1 billion. dollars I wouldn't show up. No, because I'm not a trick.
00:40:09
Speaker
Well, I'm a trick about certain things, but not this. ah Right. You know what I'm saying? So yeah, for me, um you could miss me with it. Y'all are. It wasn't like I was bumping a whole lot of Snoop Dogg anyway. I mean, mostly it was with his collaborations with Pharrell. So really it was what a for the Pharrell beat.
00:40:30
Speaker
Because, you know, Beautiful is just a jam. That's still one of my favorite songs. It's just a jam. But that's because of the Pharrell beat, to be honest with you. Ain't really that hard to miss Nelly's music. You know, the really, you know, just to I mean, I can't bump Maybach music no more. Like, while I'm driving down the highway at night, you know, the city lights asked who, by the way, do you know who sung that hook?
00:40:59
Speaker
Uh, Christina... music? Chrisette Michelle. Hold on. I think I found the end around to still be able to listen to Rick Rock music. a damn loophole. I'm going to file a loophole. No. Yes. It's anything that he does from here on out. I can't support. But anything he did in the past, we didn't know that money in that man's pocket. No, I'm not. Actually, do we put money in the pocket? I stream it. Yes. That's they're getting money for streams. Not that much. Not that much. Yeah, but if all of us are still continuing to support us, those millions of people still streaming the music, they are getting money. And am I streaming it now because I downloaded it onto my phone, or downloaded it into my iTunes? Yeah, that means you paid for it. I mean, I paid for it through a monthly fee through my Apple Music. So I mean, I've already paid for it, so I've already paid for it. No, but if you cancel Apple Music, it goes away.
00:41:55
Speaker
Yeah, we're right. But I mean, I'm already paying for Apple Music. So I've already paid for it. i So he's not getting any more money out of me. So I can still listen to the songs that I already have. I just can't listen to anything new that he has. In fact, of the matter is, the last great album that he had came out in 2019. And I haven't listened to anything since then. So that's not true. That's not true 2021. But that wasn't a great album. But anyway, speaking of scamming folks,
00:42:21
Speaker
um boy and tricking for money. Okay. All right. We're going to get into the scheme you and our brother had back in the day. And we're going to get into that next.
00:42:43
Speaker
Jay, our father did a group FaceTime yesterday. And during this group FaceTime, I heard of a story. It was the first time I had ever heard of this story before. Because you and our brother have so many shenanigans that I was never a part of and never knew anything about. That there's a bunch of stories out there that I'm just being re-entered, that I'm being introduced to now in my older age. Because y'all are coming out with this. And one of the stories,
00:43:12
Speaker
that came out yesterday during the conversation is a story of, what did you call it? The kids' Olympics? The kids' Olympics, yes. Okay, so I wanted this. I know you used like, do we have to tell the story? Yes, because I found this absolutely hilarious. Can you let the audience know?
00:43:30
Speaker
what the Kid Olympics was, and tell them the story of the reason why I find it hilarious. I find the story hilarious. But tell the audience, maybe they won't. Maybe they don't think it's cute. The year was 1992. And we there was the Summer Olympics in Barcelona.
00:43:50
Speaker
It was huge, okay? We had Dan and Dave, who were decathletes, and Reebok had this whole build-up campaign, and it was Dan,
Childhood Entrepreneurial Ventures
00:44:04
Speaker
Dave, and know like who was the better athlete, and there you would find out at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. It was like my first time being cognizant of the Olympics. And since that Olympics in 1992, I have been obsessed with the Olympics for the rest of my life. Like I, it is the biggest thing to me every four years. I'm obsessed with it. I watch every single event. I don't care what it is. I love it. I love global competition. So I'm into it. Okay. It's 1992. I'm what? Eight years old.
00:44:44
Speaker
They were out, yeah you were about to turn eight. I was about to turn eight. So I'm seven years old. And I'm like, this is the most amazing thing. Everybody's excited about it. How do I get in on this action?
00:45:01
Speaker
Right? how do i How do I capitalize on the excitement around the Summer Olympics? Okay? The Dacty 92. So behind our house, we lived in this neighborhood. It was like a mix of apartments and townhouses. And we were in a townhouse and behind our townhouse, there was a big field that we used to play in. And I said, this is the perfect venue.
00:45:28
Speaker
for the Olympics, but not just the Olympics. The Olympics for kids. And you're kind of like, that's the junior Olympics. Well, hey, that wasn't a thing. And I would like to think maybe I was the like. Catalyst. Catalyst for that, maybe.
00:45:53
Speaker
I don't know. I don't know. I don't even know when the Junior Olympics started, to be honest with you. I actually don't know that at all. But the point is, it was not a thing in 1992. Okay? But I said to myself, what if we had Olympic Games? But for kids, kids are the athletes. This is a brilliant idea.
00:46:18
Speaker
And so I said, okay, how do I get this off the ground? Mind you, seven years old. Seven years old. I'm seven, almost eight. I said, how do I get this off the ground? Well, you need capital. You need money, startup money. So I had the brilliant idea taking my entrepreneurship from Girl Scouts, where annually I sold cookies to our neighbors and our parents' coworkers.
00:46:47
Speaker
I'm going to take that same entrepreneurial spirit and I'm going to go door to door in our neighborhood telling people about the Kids' Olympics and asking for donations to get this bad boy off the ground.
00:47:02
Speaker
So that's what I did. I took our brother, who was five at the time, no, six, six at the time. And we went door to door and we knocked on people's doors. They opened it up. We were like, hey, we've got a great opportunity for you to get involved with the Kids Olympics that is being held right here in Lynchburg, Virginia.
00:47:29
Speaker
And people gave me money. People gave me money. I spent all afternoon collecting money for the Kids' Olympics. I get home, and I've got a wad of cash in my hand, and our mother sees this. It says, where'd you get the money?
00:47:56
Speaker
To it, I then explained ah about the Kids' Olympics and that I was seeking donations to get this off the ground. Rightly, she thought it was dumb, also a scam, and she made me go back to every person and return their money.
00:48:14
Speaker
Which, to this day, I'm not 100% that I did. Because I think I might have left the house, but I had no way of remembering exactly which apartments or which townhouses, like, who gave me what amount of money. Like, people just pulled money out of their wallets and their prisoners handed me cash. Like, I don't know who had what. So am I 100% sure that I returned that money? No, I'm not.
00:48:44
Speaker
I don't know if I did. I think I just went outside and then came back sometime later and maybe told her that I returned the money. But, you know, I had ADHD. There's no way of knowing who gave me this money. and How was I going to have been explained to them that I was returning? It just made it awkward for everybody. And it was just easier, I think, to hold on to the money, which I'm pretty sure is what I did.
00:49:12
Speaker
Okay. So many questions. First question. What were you going to do with the money as far as funding the games? So the plan, the money was for a like You know, I had to buy equipment. We didn't have hurdles.
00:49:43
Speaker
How are we gonna run track and field? How are you gonna do the hurdles? I needed to have a track made. There was a lot of things, like there's a lot of things. How do you do the high jump? How do you do the pole vault? You need the poles? I had to get all the equipment.
00:50:01
Speaker
Okay, as you're watching this these Dan and Dave commercials that were huge during this time, you obviously see that they're training. So what in your mind made you think that kids would be able to participate in these activities that grown adults were doing? Field day. Okay, field day was very much different than the Olympics. Field day was kids Olympics. But there was no hurdles, there was no high jump, there was no bouncing beam, there was none of that.
00:50:30
Speaker
So from what I remember, the events that I had in mind were geared more towards kids. Like I think my point of reference for it was field day. Okay. But still I needed equipment. I needed a quick and this was just a raw, it was just a field like it needed to be built out, built up and that takes money. All right. Where were you going to get the kids?
00:50:56
Speaker
The kids, same place, they got the athletes. The kids come from all over and they compete to get into the kids' Olympics. It's the same. It's the same. Okay. Okay. All right. Because I would have had money for advertising, all of this stuff. I am seven.
00:51:19
Speaker
Okay, I'm seven. I knew step one was getting money. but forgotten The rest I was going to figure out, but I knew step one was none of this was going to get off the ground if I didn't have money.
00:51:36
Speaker
Okay, how did you convince our brother to tag along with you? Because it seemed like this was your idea. Was he as enthusiastic about the Olympics as you were? or work Okay, so y'all was watching together and and and you said, hey, why don't we go raise some money? And he's like, yeah, sure, let's go. I don't think that he was watching the Olympics as closely as I was. But when I explained the kids Olympics, he was all in.
00:52:01
Speaker
He was all in and this and the in it became a business venture. We were joint partners, 60-40 split. and yeah It was a joint business venture. And and I don't know what you want to say. I was seven. I was seven. Okay.
00:52:25
Speaker
And you don't know that you gave the money back. I'm pretty sure I did not give that money back. How much money do you think you raised? For me at seven years old, a million dollars. The real the real amount was probably close to like.
00:52:41
Speaker
$25, $35, but in my mind, I just know I had a wad of, cause people were just handing me a dollar here to a couple whatever they had on them. I remember one person gave me a five that I distinctly remember. Cause I was like, I'd been getting ones all day and somebody handed me a $5 bill. And I was like, we're on our way. Like we are on our way. This is happening.
00:53:11
Speaker
I'm glad we moved out of that neighborhood shortly after this because y'all was the neighborhood scammers. yeah Also, I remember the field back behind the place. That place was a death trap. It was on a hill. Yeah. OK, but it wasn't like a normal hill where you're a straight away and it goes up a hill. No, it was a slanted hill. Yeah. Because we played football on that hill. Funny story, since you want to bring up old stories, I'm thinking you bring up old stories. I'm going to bring up old stories.
00:53:41
Speaker
There was a big light pole yes in the back of this field. Why? Because it's a field and you need to have light yes on the field. okay And it's all grass. So it's not really a field. It's just a big area. A huge area will grass. So we're playing football back there.
00:53:57
Speaker
and there's this big light pole, and I'm the quarterback, and my best friend at the time is the wide receiver, playing two on two tackle footballs, me and him and two other people. No, it's three people, I'm all time quarterback, which means I'm, and they're just wide receivers, right? okay so they're covering each other and my best friend goes out for a pass and I throw a I throw a beautiful ball to him yeah and he's looking at the ball he's running at the ball and he runs smack dab like a cartoon in this light pole and up his face first like the pole hit him straight in the middle face first crotch all in the pole his yeah legs flung up his arms flung up yeah and all you hear is
00:54:40
Speaker
You know how you take that pause where you start like, what just happened? It was fell out. And I was like, oh man, are you okay? No, I'm not okay. why i thought ah like that I was like, you were open. she are open and so there yeah This place was. Yeah, like there was like a stone wall.
00:54:59
Speaker
that one time I fell off of and my hand went through a rusted nail that was in the ground. Like it was not a safe place for children to play. We had a playground. We had a playground and that stone wall was on a slope because the The field was on the slope. So you would start in the stone wall at one end of the street, going to the next end of the street would be real low, and it would just keep going higher. We used to jump off of that wall to figure out how how we could could jump off of things, which was crazy in another cell.
Family Legacy and Drive for Success
00:55:31
Speaker
so you really didn't think this true. And I wish I had known because I would have been like, Jay, this sounds like a bad idea. I don't think you would have. I think you would have been. I think you would have been excited about it. No, i i I knew that field was a death trap. We only played back there when we absolutely had to. I would have made you chief operating officer over sport like you would have been the person over the athletes, like you can supervise and making sure everything was straight. Like, cause you knew sport. I think you would have been in on it. I think you would have said, this is a money making venture.
00:56:09
Speaker
We're capitalizing on something that's, it's very hot right now. The Olympics, 92 Olympics in Barcelona, it was very, it was just- I know the drink team. That's when the drink team, I was on the wall for it. Yes. It was electric. And I just felt like, you know, let's, come on, let's get in on this. Let's, let's- It wasn't a genius, non-genius.
00:56:33
Speaker
It was something. I heard this story as we were talking, and I was like, wait, what? Why do I not know anything about this? I don't remember y'all doing it. I don't remember mom saying, hey, go take this money back. I don't remember any of that stuff. And I know y'all probably did it because the drugstore went so far away, and now, later, it was a hit during that time. So I know damn well you and our brother went and spent that money up. And fact of the matter is, if I had had my hand in the tail,
00:57:06
Speaker
Cause we all know how trifling I was with money back in the day. Well, and today that it would have been an interesting conversation, but okay. So that's, that's your story. When, when you snuck up people out of $25, how many y'all, how many, how many people said no? And how many people said yes?
00:57:26
Speaker
ah We got some no's like that, like we definitely got some no's, but a majority of people saw a seven and six year old and thought. Adorable to y'all. Adorable. Adorable kids. And we're speaking very animated. They don't know that this is not something for school. And that's what I was thinking. I was like, they're not gonna know that this is not a real thing yet. So you knew it was a scam.
00:57:54
Speaker
I wouldn't have thought of, listen, we were a startup. you know And you gotta promise the investor something, yeah even though you really don't have anything but an idea or a concept. So you know we had concepts of a plan.
00:58:16
Speaker
awesome But I figure, hey, they're probably gonna give us money because whenever I'm selling something for school, like wrapping paper or some crap like that, so we can go to a field trip, or whenever I'm selling something, you know, cookies for Girl Scouts, I never have a problem getting money out of adults. Well, Girl Scout cookies sell themselves. Y'all don't really have much money. That's true, true. Hey, sir, would you like to buy some? Hey, stop right there and give me some Thin Mints and some Moas. I didn't finish my spill. You don't need to. I know what this is all about. Well, sometimes there were new cookies that came out, and you had to let them know, hey,
00:58:50
Speaker
Do-si-doze ain't the only thing we got going, okay? We got something new. Screw them Do-si-doze. Do-si-doze were my favorite, so... Which one was Do-si-doze? The peanut butter ones. Okay, Do-si-doze is good. I was thinking of the shortbread. I hated those. You hate treeflops? Yeah.
00:59:05
Speaker
Those are some milk delicious. No, mom would always get those. I'm like, why don't you get the more Thin Mints? Thin Mints was my thing. and Thin Mints are absolutely terrible. I don't like mint and I don't like chocolate and mint. And they were, and still are, absolutely terrible. The best cookie is in fact the dosey dough. you If you like samos, I am not a coconut person, but those are also very popular. but I love coconut.
00:59:33
Speaker
But people love them damn thin nuts, and I do not know why. But yes, that's a story. It's probably not the first time. It certainly wasn't the last that I had a get rich quick scheme.
00:59:45
Speaker
ah No, we're still pulling get rich, quick schemes. Yeah. I mean, I'm still doing it. In fact, in class on Thursday, we had to introduce ourselves and say something interesting about us. And I let everybody know that I was a portrait photographer. And so if anybody needs new photos for their LinkedIn, let me know. And so somebody stopped me after class because he needs new photos for his LinkedIn. So I'm like, like listen, this is an opportunity also for me to make a little bit of money.
01:00:13
Speaker
like I know we're all working professional and we're you know trying to get out there in the work world. You need a professional LinkedIn photo. I do head shots, so let me know. That will never stop. That will always be a part of it.
01:00:31
Speaker
and That entrepreneurial spirit, it came from our father. that Apple don't fall far from the tree. He had a paper route, except he never actually delivered any papers. He hired other kids in the neighborhoods to deliver them papers, and he paid them a salary from his paper route salary. He gave them a small percentage to deliver the papers for him. And I just think that that was amazing and wonderful. and um That is the spirit that I inherited. it And you as well. Like, it's not like both of us are not like this. We are both like this. I don't, I just, I don't go getting startup money. I do my own venture. And I started with my own money. in there you need him that's yeah Well, I don't want to be beholden to nobody.
01:01:25
Speaker
So I'm not going to give a pitch to go get money. Although, I will pitch once again. I'll pitch you on Facebook. At pitchyard.com, backslides us listening perspectives where you can get after hours on system and eventually talk a straight ish for both for $9 or just one that shows $5 a month.

Speaker
Jay, I think you already left people with ah something, but do you have any other parting words for everything that we discussed? It feels like you said everything you needed to say about this ah Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross thing. Yeah. But anything else? Hey, you know, a lot of times what stands between people and the things they want to do is just betting on yourself. So if you have an idea,
