We shouldn't be better. I feel like the show is better. We'll probably come back just the same. Maybe a little rested. You're always like, you're always like, rested. Well, since we'll be rested, that means that it will be better. Yeah, it will be better, because we'll have some sleep. Yeah, because I am exhausted, ladies and gentlemen. I'm getting older, and I can't keep burning candles on both ends like I used to the day of the sleep. Right. Them days been over for me. I don't know about you, but they've been over for me. I get my sleep. I don't play.

00:03:02
Speaker
yesterday yes because we're filming this on June 20th. It'll air on June 21st, June 10th, which is June 19th was yesterday. And you would think that we would have only positive stories to talk about. Yeah. But no. I mean, we it we could talk about a positive story. What positive story? Willie Mays died and Jason Whitlock attacking Angel Reese. Those are the only things happening in the world. I'm talking about Kendrick's pop out, but I forgot you. Yeah, no, I mean, that's black on black crime. but so no It's American on Canadian crime. OK.
00:03:41
Speaker
You want to parse it that way, but it's still black on black crime. It's a black American. Not like a six time. I heard it was five. You don't exaggerate. Don't put a hundred on ten. It was five. That's two, Rhett. Yeah, whatever. Drake will be back. I'm not worried about it. Drake will be back. Oh, yeah. Drake is light skinned. He's not going anywhere. It's hard to keep. They're like cockroaches. We're hard to keep. what
00:04:12
Speaker
All right. So yeah I had ah i had a a title for this segment. I'm not going to say it, but Jason Whitlock's punk self is at it again. He's recently made some controversial comments about Angel Reese. And that was the only type of comments that he makes his controversial comments. Whitlock called Angel Reese awkward and unathletic and referred to her as the most overrated athlete in sports. the most overrated athletes in all of sports. That's what he said. like Right. in in sport You take all of sports right now and there's some dumb sports out there, okay? And she's the worst.
00:04:54
Speaker
out of all sports, really? I mean, why are you attacking sports out there? Why are you attacking those sports? No, there's some dumb sports out there. So you're telling me, I still don't know what that is, but they they play pickleball near me and I'm just like, is it it looked like ping pong tennis. Yes, that's exactly what it is. Okay, all right. Ping pong tennis. Right, so you got some dumb things out there with dumb names.
00:05:25
Speaker
And you're telling me that she's just the most overrated. That's what he says. He says she's most overrated. He says he's awkward and unathletic. He also criticized Reese for her comments about the growth of women's basketball, claiming that nobody is tuning in to watch her play. He also took issue with Reese's reaction. Oh, ah I mean, all i mean oh as far as the games, the attendance of the games, not attendance, the viewership of the games.
00:05:58
Speaker
Caitlin Clark's games are getting way higher numbers than the rest of the WNBA games. But the WNBA games numbers are coming up from last year outside of Caitlin Clark's games. So it is a rise to the WNBA.
Respect for Women & Personal Anecdotes
00:06:14
Speaker
They had to, you know, first start by putting her games on TV. i And they, you know, they weren't initially doing that. Somebody filmed it, it ended up getting a lot of streams and and now you can catch them on TV. But like, yeah, everybody knew. Yeah, I mean, Kaitlyn Clark leading in in the ratings, that's not, ah that's not news. Like, we all knew that. Yeah, I knew that was coming. I also, wait Whitlock also said that Reese is delusional and is always playing the big victim.
00:06:47
Speaker
Just to, just to give you the other side, that he doesn't always attack women. He has been defending Kaitlyn Clark from various online critics, but it's come at the expense for of black women. He's stereotyped, black women in sports, music, and black style. He's always been accused of stirring up stuff as far as his comments towards women. He said the women shouldn't be sports writers or shouldn't be sports commentators and things of that nature. Nobody wants to hear a woman ah talk. And yeah, so we're going to start that off the day after Juneteenth by talking Jason Whitlock. I mean, Jason,
Modern Medicine's Oddities
00:07:28
Speaker
he doesn't.
00:07:31
Speaker
audacity for me to call her awkward and unathletic, and he looks like a pop-marked baked potato. Like, you have to be kidding me right now. right Division I college football at Ball State. So he was this thing he was wearing a helmet. That way we didn't have to see his face. but Yes, he was never a handsome man. And right now he looked like a thumb. So yes um I don't know. ah he Yeah, the criticism on him, by him, towards Angel Rees is ridiculous. And he says that she's actually not playing well, but I pulled up her stats. She's averaging 12 points a game, 10 rebounds a game, two assists a game, almost two steals a game. Now, this is the bad part. Her field goal percentage is about 37%, so she's not shooting well from the field. But her free throw percentage is about
Retirement Community Plans
00:08:26
Speaker
75%.
00:08:27
Speaker
in the latest WNBA rookie power rankings, Angel Reese is currently ranked second. She's the yeah only root average in the double double a game and she's leading the entire league in offensive rebounds a game with 4.6 almost five a game so that I I've watched her play basketball. Is she graceful like Cheryl Swoops? Or I don't know why I keep forgetting the the woman's name. The woman that just retired. The one I had a crush on ah that was married to the ugly man Sheldon Williams. I don't know why I keep forgetting her name. I don't know not know why I keep forgetting her name. Candace Parker. That's her name. Candace Parker. You know Candace Parker. She's not Brianna Stewart. She's not graceful.
00:09:16
Speaker
when she plays a game, but she's effective. Like, she's going to have a WNBA career. And fact of the matter is, if you know anything about basketball, which Jason Whitlock clearly does it, if you know anything about basketball, there's more than just scoring points. People love Kate McClark because she scores points. And she's scoring, her oh scoring percentage is like 16, 17 points per game. But just like Reese, her field goal percentage is really low, which means it takes her a lot of shots to get to those points. So she's not very...
00:09:49
Speaker
yet she'll get there and Angel Reese isn't very effective offensively
U.S. Draft Registration & Misinformation
00:09:54
Speaker
yet she'll get there but she shoots really good from the charity stripe ladies and gentlemen if you don't know what the charity stripe is that's the free throw line shoots 75 for the free throw line that means for every four free throws she's hitting three of them that's a good percentage And that's letting me know that the the regular field goal percentage where she shoots on the floor will get better as she gets used to the game. But already actually double-double, she's averaging a double-double. That's not a bad- And now what that is, ladies and gentlemen, is if you got double digits in two categories in which you can obtain double digits.
00:10:35
Speaker
Yeah. Yes. And also, if your field goal, if your free throw percentage is 75%, that is if you had four quarters and you pull one away. That's what, geez. So I am also a part of this conversation. OK, let's go into the larger context taken out of basketball, why this man is always attacking women. And it goes back to what you told me. Because he doesn't like them. Yeah, that's what it always goes back to. I had to ask a friend of mine. I think I talked about this with you privately. I don't think I said this on air. And I'm not throwing him under the bus to him. I'm not throwing him under the bus, but he's going to know exactly it's him when he sees this clip, because I am going to clip this. He was talking about women, and he kept describing them physically.
00:11:29
Speaker
And I was like, bro, the only time you have anything positive to say about women is about their physical ability. I was like, you had a girlfriend. You've had a girlfriend for three years. You love her. He's like, yeah, tell me something positive about her besides her looks. She's a caring person. I was like, that's okay. I expect her to be a caring person. She's been with you for three years. That's not a compliment. Give me something else. He couldn't give me anything else. And I was like, bruh, do you like women? He was like, what do you mean? Of course I like women. I was like, no, no, no, no, no. Let me rephrase that. And then you said it after I told you the story and it's not like respect. Do you respect women?
00:12:11
Speaker
And a lot of these dudes out here just don't respect women, like at all. No. And the funny thing is, is a lot of them have never even thought about it. It's very similar to oh when you call a white person white and they get offended because they've never thought of themselves as white. They've just thought of themselves as a person. So they never had to see race. Men have never had to really see gender in terms of because they don't, they aren't oppressed because of their gender, right? Yes, this is true. So there's never been any incentive for men to respect women. So a lot of men.
00:12:52
Speaker
won't realize that they don't actually like women as people, not saying that you don't like women sexually. I'm saying you don't like women as people. A lot of them won't even notice that until you actually ask them the question and they have to answer it honestly. and Then they realize they've never even thought about whether or not they respect and or like women yeah because they've never had to. yeah Yeah. And so he just, you know, for whatever reason, Jason Whitlock, because he doesn't respect women. And I don't know why, probably because of the way he looks, he's probably been turned down by women so often that that can, I can understand not saying it's right. I'm not saying it's right. It can happen both ways, by the way. Yeah. Yeah. If you're constantly being turned down by the opposite sex, if you're heterosexual and you're constantly being turned down from the opposite sex,
00:13:44
Speaker
Yeah, there could be some resentment that comes from that. Yeah. Most people don't look inward and wonder, hey, the denominator is me getting rejected. So what am I doing? Oh my goodness. That's getting me rejected across the board. Let me tell you something. I'm about to, I'm about to get us in trouble. I'm about to get some trouble right now. Okay. I had a conversation with somebody recently, and they asked me, do you listen to Taylor Swift? I was like, no, not really. It was like, well, do you have any opinions about Taylor Swift? And I was like, I got one. And they were like, OK, but you don't listen to her music. What is your opinion? I was like, for somebody who writes so many songs about a failed relationship and constantly trashing a man every time she breaks up, but never writes a song about maybe what she did in that relationship,
00:14:37
Speaker
Maybe she's the problem and not the other person. I'm just bringing that up. yeah If all I did was talk about how horrible these women were to me, and that was the reason why ah you know I broke up with them or they broke up with me, then you you would honestly say, well, you don't have no fault in the failure of the relationship?
00:14:58
Speaker
And I'd be like, no, it's all their fault. And then you'd be like, no, you're the common denominator. If your relationships are always failing, and oh, by the way, all relationships fail. OK. Yeah, until one doesn't. That's literally 100% of your relationships are going to fail until one doesn't. Well, OK. Ideally. Ideally, you'll be with one person and blah, blah, blah. What I'll say is all of them will end. They don't necessarily need to fail. No, that's true, okay. Yeah, all of them will end. They don't necessarily need to fail. But if you constantly have failed relationships...
00:15:32
Speaker
Right. So I had to look inward because after my divorce, I was like, it was all her fault. And then I was like, nah, it wasn't all her fault. I had had a lot of, I had a lot of cause in the failure of my marriage. That was not all her fault. And then I was like, and all the relationships before that, I blamed a lot of those women, but I was sitting here doing some ill stuff. So that was the cause of it. So I don't remember what the original thing was and why I brought up the Taylor Swift thing. But, yeah, that's the only, that's my... About men, about men, like, not liking women. And then you were like, I can see how men getting rejected on a consistent basis will make them not like women. And I say, yeah, because most people are not introspective and thinking that the common denominator in this situation is me. Right. Okay. So that's how I got to the Taylor spectrum. See that? See, this is one of the rare times where you didn't disassociate and you was right here with me the whole time. i You know, medication.
00:16:34
Speaker
It's a wonder. Modern medicine is a wonder, yeah. ah ah Did this do a quick detour? Modern medicine is a wonder, but them side effects. Every time I see a commercial and it's like, oh, I can fix my liver, that'll be fantastic. But the side effects is uncontrollable diarrhea. No, I'm just going to let my liver fail. But it's like, it's a medicine for just something innocuous. Like it's, you know, ah you have psoriasis. Okay, correct. Do this triple for psoriasis. Side effects may include your shit on yourself. You become real angry. You punch people. You get arrested. Your life gets messed up. You almost said that. You almost said that.
00:17:23
Speaker
That's why I used to be like, damn, I'm gonna, I keep this itchy, you know, like keep it, like, with all the other, we were ruin my life. Because I'm a fitness professional, people keep asking me about Ozimpic and I can tell them, stay the hell away from Ozimpic. Okay. yeah Anytime you take a shortcut to try and get somewhere, it's never going to be where you want to be. Trust me. Shortcuts never lead to the end desired goal. And I was like, just takes hard work of determination and dedication.
00:17:59
Speaker
I mean, I get it. Look, I can't wait to turn. First of all, I can't wait to turn 55. It's a little retirement community right around the corner from me. I've already been scoping it out. I know that's right. Look, I saw it. It was really nice in there. They have a lot of amenities. Yes, a lot of amenities. is good look And it's right around the corner. And I said, can I get some information? they were Like, oh, are you thinking about somebody moving in? I said, no. But in 11 years, I will be. And I just want to get some information now, find out how much all this is going to cost. It's everything that you need. It's literally everything. you It's a one-stop shop, and you live there. And I won't have to worry about no ruckus and no riffraff, because it's all older people. They're going to be quiet and studious.
00:18:45
Speaker
Um, they are quite Randy. I would watch yourself, you know, cause I am anticipating that you're not going to look that much different than how you look now. Uh, you probably still be in the fitness, but you know, you're good looking tall and everything. you go You're going to have to beat them off. You're going to have to watch out for Gurney. When an older woman tells me I'm attractive, that means more to me than these young little young chicks running around here telling me I'm cute because they ain't beating around the bush and they done seen a lot of people during their time. Yeah, they done seen Nat King Cole. Nat King Cole.
00:19:24
Speaker
They don't see Dr. King. They don't see them all, okay? So they don't see Malcolm X. They heard him speak in Chicago. So they... All right. That made my chest hurt. You're gonna have me have a heart attack on Eric. I'm just saying. They didn't been around. They didn't see it all. So you could bet your bottom dollar. ands
00:19:49
Speaker
They're giving it to you straight and they're giving it to you real. Oh, well, speaking of old people, only old people would know about this next topic that we're going to get into. And we're going to get into the draft, the drafted to the armed forces. We're going to get into that next.
00:20:11
Speaker
Okay. Jay, the U S house of representative passed a bill that H R 8070, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2025, which includes a provision that would automatically register all males between the ages of 18 and 26 in the Selective Service System. This is often referred to in
Media's Influence on Societal Views
00:20:31
Speaker
a more common term as the draft. However, it's important to really understand what this really means. Registering for the draft. Under the current US law, anyone who was assigned male at birth currently and currently between the ages of 18 and 26 is eligible and required to register for the draft. Once you turn 26, you're out of the draft. Now, getting drafted is different. The US military has not used the list of names to call people up for military service, drafting them since the Vietnam War.
00:21:06
Speaker
But in the case that a draft is reinstated, the U.S. needs a list of everyone eligible for service to determine who would actually be called to serve. So while the bill doesn't involve automatic registration for the Selective Service, it doesn't mean that it's that is that those registered are being drafted and into the military service. It's also worth noting that most states automatically register men for the draft when they apply for a drives license. So this provision in the bill could be viewed ah as an effort to streamline the registration process by automatic by automating it into a national level instead of relying on a state by state basis.
00:21:45
Speaker
You wanted to talk about this. I just gave it a quick synopsis. But I'm going to give you the floor to let you say everything that you want to say about this. Because you was like, I want to talk about this. And ladies and gentlemen, when my sister sends me something that says she want to talk about this, I give her the floor because she could go about 35, 45 minutes and I don't cut her off in time. I will keep my eye on the clock. yeah'all Don't worry about the clock. Say what you want to say. I'm booked in time for you to say what you want to say on this. The reason why I brought this up is because I've been seeing this reporting on my timeline, specifically with Black blogs. Okay. And we got to talk about misinformation. Mm-hmm. And we got to talk about
00:22:33
Speaker
material misrepresentation, okay? Those are two different things, but go ahead and bring it down. Yes, okay. So when I see it on there and I go through the comments and I'm like, oh, they can they drafting us, y'all, this happening and all this stuff. The problem with these blogs is that you guys are in intentionally misrepresenting what is going on for clicks and for likes, but what' your but what's happening as a result of that is you're inciting people for something that doesn't... First of all, 46 states
00:23:15
Speaker
and some territories automatically register you, like you said, when you get a driver's license or if you apply to college and you get certain you know state-backed or state-funded loans, things like that. you're there The select service ah Selective Service Office has existed since the 60s and it has been every year registering individuals born male between the ages of 18 and 26. So we all have all been on this list, first of all. You are either actively on it, or you were on it, or you got a child or a grandchild that's about to be on it. Your name been on the list? you've been on the Your name was on the list. Your pappy's name was on the list. Your son and your grandson gonna be on the list. He gonna be on the list, OK?
00:24:08
Speaker
And every year we have to pass the National Defense Authorization Act. It's a ver a version of this bill get passed every year because every year the military needs a budget. Congress has to write the check. you got to put ah They put a bunch of provisions and things and different stuff in there. So this year, what has stood out to people is that it will automatically register people for the Selective Service System. That is, it the proposal, first of all, was brought forth by a Democrat, and it is specifically to help streamline the process of registration.
00:24:48
Speaker
But y'all been on this list. there they're volley you know They're talking about in Congress now whether or not women are going to be included. As a feminist, I don't want anybody included. I would like to not need to go to war. That's my opinion about it. Well, sometimes you get a fight. Like, I mean, come on, we we grew up in, come on now, where we grew up and where we're from, like, these ah you got to fight sometimes. Like, like, you could be a past that's all you want, but. No, I don't know. You know, men have been running stuff for a while and it's been pretty bloody and I think maybe they should get somebody else to try. um But that's not the here nor there. We tried. We tried in 2016. And women, women voted against her. Because, you know, women, women be hating on women.
00:25:40
Speaker
Women do be hating on women. Women do be hating on women. okay ah so So, and it's also, it's important to note that this, again, registering people for this like service system is not instituting the draft or reinstating the draft. That requires a whole other bit of legislation and that's got to go through all the processes. And I don't know if anybody remembers, Uh, how a bill becomes a law. A lot of, yeah a lot of these folks did not have schoolhouse rocks. If you're Gen X or millennial, you probably remember schoolhouse rock.
00:26:23
Speaker
I'm just a bill. But it's a process. Just because it's passed in the House, there is a very slim chance that it's going to get into this pass through the Senate because they have included some things in there like um not funding abortion access or gender-affirming care. They've included things in there that that obviously is not going to pass a Democratic-led Senate. So I don't know if that means that this provision and the bill is going to be taken out or not. But what the point of the point I'm trying to make is nobody is reinstituting the draft. We have not done so in over 50 years. There is no immediate need for us to do it now. Yes, they are. The Pentagon is facing recruitment issues, but. But we can't start getting up in arms about something that's not a thing yet, just because you read it on Facebook.
00:27:22
Speaker
And I say yet because, you know, hell, we don't damn know. But the point. The point is right now with this man in happening. This is not happening. Nobody has reinstituted the draft. This bill has not become a law. Again, I don't know, me refer back to the song on how Bill becomes a law. But the bill has not become a law and. Do I agree with some of the comments that ah voting registration should also be automatic if select service conscription or registration is automatic? Yes, I do agree with that. Everybody should be registered to vote automatically when they turn 18. That's just smart. Well, I was about to say, no, I know.
00:28:08
Speaker
When I turned 18, I had to register to, vote I mean, you got to register to vote. I think once you renew your driver's license, it becomes really easy to register to vote yeah and you go to your local DMV or in Maryland, it's the MVA. And when you go get your license renewed and things like that. And then when you move and you go get, anytime you got to change your license, they give you the option to, you know, register to vote, but right yes, if they're going to automatically say, you enter you with selective service, you should automatically be entered in that voting registry. Right. and know win So I'm not saying that it's not, you know, a little nerve wracking, especially if you didn't know you was already on this list, but like, and you've been on the list until you turned 26.
00:29:00
Speaker
I remember getting my driver's license because you got to get your, you get your driver's license at 16, most people. And then at 21, you got to change your driver's license because you got it, but when you were 16, you got that little side profile. And then when you turn 21, you face it because now you can go buy you some alcohol. right And in that process, I remember Asking was like, yo, what is this secret service thing? And they told me, because it was in Maryland, it was like, oh yeah, you're automatically in the secret service. I was like, what? I don't want to do this. It's like, it's just, mean it's no draft. I was like, I know there's no draft because I'm a history major. I know what it is and what it's not. It's like, we'll just, we need a role. And I was like, I don't really know how I feel about this, but I want to be able to buy alcohol legally. So I'm going to go ahead and hit this check.
00:29:46
Speaker
failure to register is considered a crime. so yeah And and a there's a range of punishments for it. So if you think you're not on that list, you're crazy. You've been on the list until you turn 26. And then when you turn 26, then you're off the list. but like I think it's the it's the part where the misinformation and the misrepresentation of what's going on, inciting people to get angry about things that aren't even happening when there are things that are actually happening that they can get angry about. like like Let's direct that energy towards solving issues that are actually occurring right now in real life. I hear everything that you're saying, and I absolutely agree with it.
00:30:33
Speaker
I'm gonna make a couple points here. Some people just don't have any substance, right? Some people can only think about what's being presented to them. they They're not deep thinkers. Not to say that that's good or bad. They tend to be a lot happier. So i I'm thinking that when they say ignorance is bliss, they ain't lying. They mean it. There is a real problem. there's a real problem of people getting half-assed information and taking it for fact, whether it's TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, X, whatever you want to call it, or ah Facebook. People don't do their due diligence to say, is this real? Right. And and I'm realizing that, thank God for our parents.
00:31:21
Speaker
you know I hate to bring this back to us, and ah but praise our parents because Mother's Day and Father's Day just passed. yeah they They questioned us on everything and made us research stuff. So yeah naturally, when people give us information that make us sideways, cock-a-head sideways. and That seems sus. Let me look it up. We look it up. like yeah our google is Anytime mean you get together and spend any extended amount of time together, we always get to talking about stuff. and It's like, well, I don't know about that. Google stuff. Also, when we Google stuff, we look at the sources of information of which we're getting our information from.
00:32:05
Speaker
If it's such-and-such.com, maybe I could trust it. If it's such-and-such.org, I could trust it a little bit more. If it's such-and-such dot.net, o I don't trust it. I don't trust it. That's somebody's tumbler. I don't know what that is. I don't know. There's so many people, and I get it from our comments when we post stuff online. When we post those little shorts or those one-minute clips, people are like, Well, that's not what it is. I'm like, one, did you listen to the entire clip? Because it's a minute long and you're arguing me arguing with me about something that I literally talk about 30 seconds in. So did you only watch 15 seconds of the clip? Because if you watch the whole clip, people's attention span is short. They just want information when they get information and they're not double checking the information when they put it back out into the world. I told you, I got a friend.
00:32:56
Speaker
always coming to me like, did you hear about this? Did you hear about that? Every time they come to me about some information that they just received, I always look at them sideways and I said, did you do the research before you broke brought it to me? Because at this point, you know, I'm damn near calling you stupid because every time you bring something to me, all I do is a quick Google search and prove that whatever it is that you thought was real was not real. Correct. So like there's a prime example. They brought up to me that there is this woman out there claiming that she wrote both the Terminator and ah the Matrix. and Yes, black woman. That's not true, though. She didn't do that.
00:33:40
Speaker
Like, not true. She wrote books off of, and those movies were based off those books. No, they're not. No, they're not. Really? Yeah, no, they're not. And in Time magazine, this is the reason why I was like, oh, this could be true. And I waited until I read Time magazine, actually wrote an article disproving everything and saying that people have been believing that she did do it, and it's an internet, basically, a hoax. One person said this is fact and has been passed on down to now everybody believes this fact. And Time magazine did an expose exposing this is not true. Well, it looks like, according to Google, she had filed a lawsuit against the franchise. And lost.
00:34:25
Speaker
saying that one of her original science fiction books and script, The Third Eye Matrix, was what they based Terminator on. Right. Right. Well, no. But then she says that they stole Matrix. And then she tried to explain how Neil was Jesus Christ. And in and he was also John Connor. But he was John Connor and Jesus Christ. And I knew just by listening to to her talk I was like, this is a bunch of BS, because I know both of those franchises like the back of my head, and this don't even connect. But my friend brought it to me, and he was like, because he low-key is Turkana religious, but not really. And he was like, it's all based on Jesus Christ. And I was like, Superman is more based on Jesus Christ than the Terminator and John Connor. oh Yeah, I would agree with that. i don't I don't think, I don't see the parallel with John Connor at all.
00:35:21
Speaker
like But they said John Connor and Neil was the same person just in the future. And I was like, that don't make no sense. No. That really don't make no sense. No. So anyway, it's been proven that she lost that lawsuit, right? But just because she loses lawsuit doesn't necessarily mean that what you're saying isn't true. But Time magazine actually did a step-by-step expose and and broke the lie. Not the lie, but maybe she in her mind believes it. in her mind. yeah Yeah. But it's not true. Right. and But it's everybody is thinking because of the internet that it is true. And so that person sent me this video of her explaining it and immediately I was like, let me Google this. And it took me literally five minutes. And there were other articles before that Time magazine. Time magazine didn't pop up first, which is a problem in and of itself. Right.
00:36:13
Speaker
Because those other news org or articles weren't from reputable news organization and time. Time is right. So why was it not the first click? I don't know. But I was like, no, I'm gonna go to time and read this. And I read it and I was like, oh. Yes, this is all a big hoax, but it's a bigger problem because people believe what they see on on the internet in these quick sound bites because these people are saying inflammatory stuff for clickbait, just like Jason Whitlock is doing when he's attacking Angel Rees. You see it all the time, all over the place.
00:36:51
Speaker
I'm sick of it. I'm like, well, somebody else- And it's just bad journalism. Like, it's just bad- Well, they're But they're trying to market themselves like they're journalists, even though we know that they're all entertainers. Like, it's just it's just lazy journalism and it's bad journalism, which is why y'all are just entertainers. but like Okay, I get right now the story is Angel Rees bad, Caitlin Clark good, let's find ways in which to keep pushing that narrative and everybody's going to do it, even though the two of them are like, We don't have a problem with each other. I think it's very unfair what you guys are doing to us. And we just want to play some basketball, uh, knock it off, right? I mean, they do have a competitive. They they they are competitive. Yeah, sports. They want to beat one another, but yeah they don't hate one another. Even Magic Johnson and Larry Bird didn't hate one another. They wanted to beat each other badly, but they didn't hate one another.
00:38:01
Speaker
if If Angel Reese wins a game, she's going to be happy that she won the game. If Angel Reese beats clay Caitlin Clark, she's going to be even happier and vice versa, right? Caitlin Clark is just as big as a competitor as Angel Reese. Yes, athletes. Yes, that's how athletics work. Yeah, is called it's ah it's a competition. Literally all sports competition. It's a competition. We're looking for a winner and a that's what sports. The fact of the matter is these board games, people people that don't play sports, you play board games, you play cards, you want to win. If you don't want to win, what are you playing for? What are you playing for? I'd like to play UNO because I love when people hit me with a draw four. Nobody, nobody.
00:38:48
Speaker
Nobody, come on now, are you a masochist? No, everybody wants to win. Well, some people are masochists, though. Some people are, and I'm sure, you know, if draw force turn you on, I didn't mean to shame you. If draw force turn you on, all right. um i don't I'm not gonna shame anybody. But my point is, you play a game to win it. Mm-hmm. That's the point. And so, yeah, they're going to be competitive. They're going to trash talk. They're going to do this and that. And if they were men, nobody would be nobody will be making this a problem. What would be more celebrated? their more be Yes, it would be celebrated. Man, look at the intensity at which they play and how badly they want to win and the fire and all of the... Yeah.
00:39:37
Speaker
But because it's the two of them, and because y'all have already decided that Angel Reese is the villain, no matter what she says, she's the villain. She does play that role well. Well, she's like, if you can't beat them, join them. If y'all going to do that, then fine. But I'm not going to change who I am. If I think I can beat you, I'm going to let you know I think I can beat you. Right. And then I'm going to go ahead and beat you. I get that. as ah as a former athlete myself, 1993 Shoots and Ladders champion, regional champion. Shoots and Ladders? That's a straightforward game. Listen, you outplayed Shoots and Ladders like we played Shoots and Ladders in the regional tournament of 1993. Look it up. I'm not looking it up. I'm going to let that die.
Cultural Contributions & Capitalism
00:40:35
Speaker
No, because it doesn't exist.
00:40:36
Speaker
um but Somebody gonna be like, there was no Sheets and regional in 1993. She lied. Yes, it's a joke. Or there was, and they were in it, and they know for a fact that I was not. So aye either way either way, I lied. But that's not the point. The point is, I lost the point. The point we're talking about the point is house no as right mount point is this, for those same people that wanted to do the research on Shoots and Ladders Regionals 1993, do some research when you see something on the internet. Just a little bit. Question things and figure out what's the real thing I'm supposed to be putting my energy behind.
00:41:25
Speaker
What's a real thing I can put, if anything out of this comes out of this, your um your confusion or frustration or whatever you're feeling about this House bill and the idea of being automatically registered for elective service, if anything comes out of that, it should be ah you putting your energy behind voting and getting the people around you to vote. Because if you're so worried about what house bills are passed, then make sure ah that the house is filled with people who represent you you. And the only way you can do that is by voting. So rock the vote. Remember when they used to do that for MTV, the rock the vote campaign? I think they still do rock the vote. i have Well, I don't watch MTV anymore. Unless it's team. I don't have cable. Well, does anybody have cable?
00:42:16
Speaker
dust I'm sure somebody out there still has cable. One of my friends will not get off cable because he's like, I just want to know where the channels are, where the channels are. I just want to watch what I want to watch when I want to watch it. And I say, you're going to pay $300? I just want to watch what I want to watch when I want to watch it. I was like, all right, man. You can't handle the streaming apps. Right, look, me and my other friend tried to point it out, you know, the streaming apps, and you use this one, this one, something like that. And he was like, oh, I want that. I said, YouTube TV is basically, or Sling is basically, you don't have to do cable. Yeah, I mean, essentially, I have cable. In the amount that I pay for streaming apps and then having Sling, like, I have cable. But you had a cable that you want. It was your choice. I have it on my terms. What?
00:43:03
Speaker
yeahs Okay, if I don't want one of these streaming apps, then I cancel it. but it's not like You can't just cancel channels that you don't watch when you have cable. No, you can't. Well, you could get the basic cable and then be mad. you be Every time you got the basic cable, you'd be like, man, that TV show look good. You'd be on the God. This is back in the day, ladies jim and gentlemen, we had a TV guide. It was a video guide that would tell us you know what channel, I guess they still have it. They absolutely still have it. And then you were like, oh, I'm gonna watch this. And you click on that channel and it say the channel is not available because you got basic ass cable. Now you watching golf on Saturdays or old reruns of Shawshank Redemption. That's all you got. Because you decided not to do TV your way. And we got off topic again. But anyway, I say what I wanted to say. Okay, I'm gonna sum it up with this.
00:44:00
Speaker
A draft is not good for people in lower socialcon economic socioeconomic categories, right? No, I know why it's on the black blogs is because we're the overwhelming majority of... Well, not... Poor people now. Poor people, yes. We are really poor. But you know another group of people that's really poor? ah Brown people. Brown people are really poor in this country as well. ah And you yes you know what another group of people is really poor? White people. People always seem to forget that there's large groups of really poor white people that would be affected by this. Now, they think a little differently than then maybe we do, right?
00:44:43
Speaker
The Undertaker, Mark Callaway, had a problem with Muhammad Ali because he said he didn't go fight for his country when his country asked him to. i When he gave the interview, I was like, it's a really ignorant and naive way ah of looking at it. You didn't look at an entire context of why Muhammad Ali decided not to. But OK, you being a white man, look at it as my country has asked me to do something. I'm going to go do it. Why? Because the country has given you everything that you needed from jump. Yeah. work as but Other people have been in an abusive relationship. But people, we mean everyone else. Everyone else have been in an abusive relationship. So if you're an abuser, if you're a spouse or parent that's abusing the hell out of you, asking you to do something, you're either going to do it out of fear or you're going to be like, no, you don't give me any reason why I would do this. Now, doesn't mean that we wouldn't defend our country because if somebody came on our shores, we're going to fight.
00:45:44
Speaker
Yeah, but if we off overseas fighting in the water, we don't really understand why we're there fighting and you can't really explain it to us while we fight me. They don't make no sense to us. It's like jumping. and It's like your friend get into a fight that they started. You going to jump in that fight and help them when they started? No, they on their own. They got to fight that fight on themselves. Yeah. This is a weird analogy for America, but follow me here, folks. All I'm saying is, yeah, we're not going to volunteer most of the time to go fight because oftentimes this country has told us, well, we don't really care about you. Well, if you don't care about us, you don't even know we are the reason why that we've won every war in America that we've actually won.
00:46:30
Speaker
Right. And when's the last time America fought a war where we were defending our country? oh oh Well, the the the the war on terror, the war in afghan the wall on terror was ah was a blanket of a lot of different stuff. but Put your glasses down like that. war I mean, they attacked us. We were defending our country. Yeah, they attacked. We were defending our country. Initially. World War II. Well, i mean yeah I mean... Initially, we were. well Then it became about something else entirely. Yeah, well, yeah that's how that world works. I mean, if you're gonna fight, you might as well find some money in it. I ain't gonna fight for free.
00:47:17
Speaker
yeah will hope i hit Yeah, I hope not. But you got a lot of people wondering what's the benefit because then they get home and it takes you a year to even see somebody as you need a doctor at the VA or, you know, So the way it are and they support the troops, but they don't really, that's not what they really mean. What they really mean is they support the military, not the troops. Cause if you're supporting the troops, you'd be with Jon Stewart when he is.
00:47:50
Speaker
kicking down doors and yelling at people for VA benefits. The way we treat our soldiers when they come home needing the stuff that they need after they went and fought for us and our freedoms is a travesty. If I ever ran for office, that would be my platform. My platform would be helping those people that are coming home, get the services that they need to propel themselves in life to be better than when we sent them off the ward because they, yeah they literally. Re-acclimated to civilian life. You don't understand, you, you are literally in the trenches. We like to say, oh, yo, I've been in the trenches. We're really, ain't been no you you was door dashing for two weeks because you were short on rent. You wasn't in the train. And you didn't even want to do it when it was raining.
00:48:37
Speaker
Exactly. So and they were in they are literally in the trenches. And then to come home and then ah and just expect them to just be like, oh, you can go back to just being regular, just regular life now.
00:48:52
Speaker
Some people can. but but they need by and large you need better do they need support They need support. They need resources. there There should never be a reason why a person that went and risked their life for our freedoms should ever have to come back to this country and ever starve, be unhoused, be unclothed, or anything. Right. should never be the case. And you should see the living conditions that our active military are living in and need barracks. um yeah It's no bueno. So right we actually support the troops.
00:49:30
Speaker
Not solely the military. The actual service members. So we would, you know, if push come to shove, we're going to be there front line. Like we always have been going all the way back to the um Revolutionary War. It was black people fighting in that war as well. Definitely in the Civil War, World War I, Korean War, World War II. It was World War then World War II, then the Korean War. Definitely in Vietnam, Desert Storm and everything in between. We've been there fighting. Yeah. so We don't have a problem with that. Just, you know, select a certain thing. Just ah care of them when they get home. Right. And Black folks, this is my message to you. Do some damn research to stop reading these blogs. And vote if you really got a problem with it.
00:50:23
Speaker
All right, sis, for the last segment before we take our mini vacation and once again, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to have exclusive five minute videos
Support for Veterans & Unity
00:50:33
Speaker
every day on YouTube during our vacation. Subscribe to the channel. Watch our stuff. I put a lot of work into this production. So just just watch it just to give me the the satisfaction that the work that I'm putting in for this production is worth it. Right. OK. I was talking to a friend today. yeah he his He's a black gentleman. I don't know how else to say that. He's an African-American gentleman. an African-American gentleman. And he was like, hey, man. i I grew up, he's the same age as me. He was like, I love the 90s black movies. Yeah. But also, some of them gave a bad representation of us now that I'm older and looking back at it.
00:51:18
Speaker
And I was like, what do you mean? What are you talking about? He was like, what was the purpose of Juice? What was the purpose of Menace to Society? There's a lot of movies out there that show a bad representation for us. And it's not like there's nothing flattering on the other end. And I was like, oh, actually, I never thought about that. And I took it a step further. And I said, well, television portrayal. For people who aren't around a diverse group of black people, because like you say, we're all the time, we're not a monolith, right? Like we're all, black people are different. Yes. We are all in every socio-economical category.
00:51:58
Speaker
every educational category or or lack thereof, every every working category, we we are different. The North is different from the South, which is different from the East to the West to the Midwest, Texas, Houston people, Houston black people are different than Dallas black people that are different than San Antonio black people. We are not the same, we are different. yeah so Some of these movies and television shows gave representation of specific groups of Black people at specific areas during specific times.
00:52:31
Speaker
But also, if you're not around a diverse group of Black people, and you're watching this media, especially during the 90s, where we got our stereotypical generic representation of different groups of people from television and movies, you're going to think what you saw on the screen is how we all are. So in one sense, you might look at it, wow, South Central LA. It's crazy as hell. Boys in the hood, that's all they do is shoot and kill each other. And on another flip side, you might watch the Cosby Show and see, I don't know what Black people were talking about. They're doctors and lawyers. It's not tough out here. There's no racism. And and and I was like, huh. Is the portrayal from 90s television and movies negative, positive, or both? um So what I'll say first is
00:53:30
Speaker
um stories Stories, movies, television shows, these are stories that people wanted to tell. ah Sometimes it's not there's no bigger purpose or meaning behind them beyond this is a story that I wanted to tell. um When you ask, what was the purpose of Juice or Boys in the Hood, it was a story to tell. And I think they're incredibly important stories because ju Juice and movies like Men of Society and Boys in the Hood give you give dimension and depth and humanity to people behind the stories that you're seeing on the news. Ooh.
00:54:21
Speaker
That was deep. Yeah. I mean, that's who I am. Uh, so. Message. Yeah. I mean, so it's just, it's, it's the same. It's the same as telling stories from Appalachia or, or from Peoria or wherever in the Midwest, the, you know, it's the same as like watching Yellowstone. Is that a, is that a good representation of white ranchers? Like, I don't know. Is that a good representation or what? I don't know. It's a story that they're telling and a point or a good story, a good story will give you some insight into that character that maybe you never thought about. right am i Maybe you see somebody like Doughboy on the street
00:55:17
Speaker
Doughboy is from Boyz n Hood, ladies and gentlemen. If you haven't watched the movie, it's actually kinda important. You should watch that movie. You should. Play by, SQ. You might see a guy like Doughboy on the street and not know that behind that he's lost two siblings. He doesn't have a... he I think he had another sibling and then Ricky got killed too. I think there was another sibling. I don't think there was another sibling. I just think it was him and Ricky. Yeah, it was just him and Ricky. And then Ricky had a... I felt like there was... Ricky had a kid, but uh... Yeah, I felt like... Didn't he have a line where she's like, I can't lose another son or something like that? Maybe, maybe. You know what? I'm gonna watch Boys in the Hood this weekend.
00:56:01
Speaker
Yeah, i I might be wrong about that, but I know somebody in the comments. so Oh, you know they definitely will. They're going to correct you. Yeah. Well, what actually happened? Right. They'll look that up. They'll look that up, but they won't look up. You know they instituting the draft. And notice how I cut that off, instituting. Yeah. ah so But you know that's it'll give you some insight into that character, how he became the way he became. We we saw a dough boy from a child. grow into a man, the hopes he placed on his younger brother, his desire to have some sort of relationship with his mother that he really could never get because she just had so much pride in his brother that they had different daddies. So she hated it. You know, the complex that gives you as a child and growing into a man, you're getting now to see
00:57:00
Speaker
you're It's giving humanity to Black life, whether it's, you know, I hate to use the Cosby's, but whether you're seeing positive representation or seeing Black people in in but or affluent or they have, you know, high paying or high power jobs or things like that, or each or you're seeing us in the hood and we're struggling. But each time, if the storytelling is good and it's done right, You walk away feeling something. thing
00:57:32
Speaker
about that character, how they got there, how they dealt with whatever stressors, whether the stress was money or, ah you know, being thrust into the spotlight. You got power now. You know, you got Uncle Phil, who was ah who went from being an activist to being a judge. And how did he make that transition? And trying to raise his family and give him a life that he didn't have, but also still keep them grounded and didn't work out. and whether Like, you're seeing... different sides to us. That's why it's important. It doesn't, that's why it's important. Recognize that it's a story that we're telling, but it's also a story to give dimension to people you wouldn't normally have access to.
00:58:18
Speaker
I agree with everything you're just saying. My kind of argument would be that it's easier for people in a particular group to see themselves portrayed various in various different forms in media and be able to have that discerning eye to say, right well, yes, this is us. We are all of these things. I'm talking about the people who are not in those particular groups. Then they they missed the whole point of the story. and And guess what? It wasn't for them. Well, OK. So I would say that I was really ignorant.
00:58:51
Speaker
Before, i ah I guess until 16 or 17, anytime I met an Italian person, I'd always be like, so you connected to the mafia somehow? And not realizing how really insulting that is, but the only representation I had seen in media of Italian people, and it's something that that Italian people would say, yeah, it's kind of jacked up that they don't ever talk about any of our good stuff. The most popular show, television show from that represent Italian people is what? Sopranos? Yeah. And then I guess the second one would be Jersey Shore. I've never seen any of them, so I don't know. Oh, i I love Jersey Shore. Pauly D is my boy. and And then, like, what's the most popular television shows for Black people? No, no, no. Let's take Black people out of it. What's the most popular television shows or movies for Asian people?
00:59:50
Speaker
It's always, it's always something to do with martial arts. Oh, not for them, but featuring them. Featuring them. Yes. Excuse me. Featuring them. It's always something to be able to do. You see what I'm saying? Like a lot of times Hollywood plays into these stereotypes. A lot of times, all the time, Hollywood type cast. I think a lot of times. A lot of times all the time. Hollywood typecast. That's true. That's what I'm saying is it's the portrayal of ah us during the 90s because we came out look in the 90s we had movies and television shows. Yeah. You know because we had new networks like UPN and WB and hell even going all the way back to Fox and how these networks build themselves is by giving black people television shows.
01:00:34
Speaker
Right. Because they know black people will watch and they'll gain viewership and then they'll sell the network. Because whatever black people think is cool, everybody will think it's cool. Yeah. I mean, that's, you know, we build things. That's. Yeah. Yeah. Built Discovery. just ah this country I just don't know how to tell you. Everything influenced in this country, except for capitalism. We didn't, that's not us. That's not us. that ah and if That's That's what you want to hang your head on. Okay. That's you. I i don't yes still don't think capitalism is is the great thing. And I think y'all made ranch and that is delicious. Ranch, now I hate ranch.
01:01:18
Speaker
You ate ranch. Yeah. I ate a whole bunch of ranch. I was just eating some carrots and ranch earlier today. I ate a whole bunch of ranch in the fifth grade and I got sick and I can't eat no more ranch for the rest of my life. I thought that was pineapples. That was when I was five. I can't eat pineapple or ranch. That's your problem. You keep eating everything till it's gone. Duh. Then you make it suck. That's your problem. We ain't talking about me. We're talking about other black folks. We ain't talking about me. We're talking about other black folks. I would absolutely agree with you if the portrayals of us in the 90s were a monolith, but I don't think that they were. No, they weren't. They weren't. I think the difference and the reason why we have such nostalgia for very problematic black shows and movies. Oh, God. Oh, problematic. Hub is because no matter where we were,
01:02:11
Speaker
socioeconomically or when have you, you could find somebody on a television or a movie that would like you. and so i think and and You could see stories of people like you being told, or like people that you know, or people you aspire to be. Even even if your frame of reference for Italian Americans were mob movies, right Those movies are still giving you fully fleshed out, dimensional human beings. Yes, it was. Some of the life lessons I take now, I learned from the Godfather. who Like he had certain quotes in that movie.
01:02:58
Speaker
that that I'm just like, okay. yeah Family was everything to Vito Corleone, everything. And that's a shout out to Francis Ford Coppola. That's what he said. This is a movie about a family. Yes. It's centered in the world in the mafia, but this is a movie about a family. Ultimately, that part of it is peripheral to the main story about family. Yeah, yeah. oh Okay, I think that's it for today's show. Yeah. No, ah I have a ah have a final point that I want to make, but before I make my final point, Jay, what do you want to tell the people out there?
01:03:41
Speaker
You gotta vote. um ah that's gonna be That's gonna be my word until November, y'all. Vote. You're gonna emphasize it to November, but you mean it all the time. I mean it all the time. right Get active. If you don't like the way stuff is going, don't just sit there and complain about it. Get active. you know Activate. So from my final point, before I thank everybody and send them off, I'm going to leave you with this. We celebrated Juneteenth yesterday. For some people out there, you still don't understand what Juneteenth is. Juneteenth is when the last slaves found out that they were free two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. And Galveston, Texas. And Galveston, Texas. And there's a common
01:04:34
Speaker
phrase that's attributed in the black community of crabs in a barrel. And that when one crab gets out of that barrel, that the other crabs are trying to pull them down. I would say that's a good analogy for all of America. Very rarely do we lift people up. We're always trying to climb over top of them to get ahead. Hence capitalism. But is it that we're crabs in a barrel Or is it the water is so hot fa and all we're trying to do is get out? Because i see, crabs, when they're not in that barrel, when they're not in that steam, barrel getting steamed, getting killed, they don't tug at each other. They don't fight at each other. It's that barrel that makes them fight. It's the barrel that makes us fight. It's the barrel that makes us find the differences between each other and pull each other down as opposed to looking at each other, looking at the differences of saying that, hey, I can learn something.
