Gen Z Logs Off & Michelle Obama Gets Disrespected Again
661 Plays4 days ago
Gen Z is done performing for strangers, and honestly, can you blame them? Bruce and Jay break down why an entire generation is quietly stepping back from Instagram and TikTok, not because they're antisocial, but because they've spent their whole lives being watched and are finally trying to figure out who they actually are without an audience.
Then the siblings get into the UFC fight that happened on the South Lawn of the White House, and the fighter who thought it was the right moment to dust off a 17-year-old conspiracy theory about Michelle Obama. Bruce and Jay unpack why this keeps happening to Black women specifically, why the silence from everyone with a microphone that night was deafening, and what it actually tells us about the people doing the attacking.
Plus the saxophone sound. If you know, you know. Bruce and Jay test the meme against their own lives, and the stories that come out include a bike crash on Dead Man's Curve, a frosted windshield with zero visibility, an edible that went completely sideways, and a dog workout session with no ball.

Let's get it.
00:00:23

I'm here with my sis, J. Andrea. Gen Z is leaving social media. Freedom 250 was a mess. And that viral saxophone sound. Y'all know what I'm talking about.
00:01:03
Speaker
But that's enough of the intro. Let's get to the show.
Gen Z's Social Media Shift
00:01:14
Speaker
What up, sis? What up, brother? I can't call it. I can't call it. This first segment, we are going to get into Gen Z and the social media, but i kind of just want to dilly-dally a little bit. cause That's what we do.
00:01:26
Speaker
Yeah, well, because we both had some events that happened recently. and I mean, an easier question is, what hasn't happened?
00:01:42
Speaker
Yo, I swear. If you don't have a normal day, then that's a rare day. Yeah. ah It's always some catastrophe. So it's so what's the newest catastrophe?
00:01:56
Speaker
Oh, my ah you talking about my car getting wrecked? you talking about the ceiling falling or the roofing? we already talked about the ceiling falling. We talked about that. But the car getting wrecked, that's a new thing. What about the sinkhole in my driveway?
00:02:09
Speaker
ah ah We may have touched on that because that was like a ah month ago, the sinkhole in your driveway. mean, it's still there. you Did the sinkhole cause the car accident?
00:02:19
Speaker
No. No. This is... First of all, ladies and gentlemen, my sister is okay. Obviously, she's here. um She's okay. but My car overreacted. That's how I feel.
00:02:31
Speaker
I mean, i guess I would prefer it to overreact than underreact, but I hit something in the road that blew my back tire and all the side curtain airbags deployed. And I'm just like...
00:02:46
Speaker
This feels like an overreaction for a blown tire.
00:02:52
Speaker
Like this feels like, why did why did these come out? None of the windows were. From the windows to the walls was fine, but the airbags came out. yeah The airbags came out. There was no impact to the car. I i ran over a piece concrete or debris or something that was in the road. Mm-hmm.
00:03:13
Speaker
ah what well Why? And this is literally the worst time for this to happen. You got a lot going on right now. Did you run over a cylinder? book No, was like the the manhole cover unlike the you know on the side of the street. It'll be that sewer and it'll have like the concrete top over it. It was destroyed, basically, and like a bunch of debris was in the roadway and I didn't see it.
00:03:38
Speaker
And so, city of Atlanta? What?
00:03:45
Speaker
I'm sending these bills to y'all. So be on the lookout for that. Well, my situation wasn't as bad as that. My situation is really i'm more of an inconvenience than anything. So I hung out with my boy on a Saturday. We got up. We watched a game.
00:04:08
Speaker
And I went all the way out to Gaithersburg, right, which is not close to me. It's a trek. Yeah, yeah. And the bartenders, you know, threw us a couple of drinks. And I was like, oh, man, this is great. So, you know me being in the business, I'm to tip big.
00:04:23
Speaker
Yeah. As a thank you. Yeah. So I'm checking my accounts, and the credit card charge went through. The credit card charge went through for the...
00:04:35
Speaker
like the bill, it didn't include the tip. yeah And I'm like, wait a minute, hold on. This is a problem because my boys go to this bar all the time. I can't be having these people that looked out for me knowing that I'm friends with their regulars thinking that I don't tip. And why didn't the tip go through? No, so that can happen sometimes. It could come through as a second charge. Well, this ah I asked him. I was like, hey, did you have any issues? He was like, no So i said, okay.
00:05:06
Speaker
Do me favor. Next time you go up there, Let me know so I can Apple Pay you so that you can give them money on my behalf as ah as a, hey, I don't know what happened, but i want to make sure y'all get your money. And him being the jerk that he is, he was like, i don't know, man. I might be barred from there know one that they now that they know that got a cheapskate friend. And i was like, hey, man, come on.
00:05:27
Speaker
You know how i feel about these type of situations. Stop pushing my buttons. He was like, yeah, you know, I'm going to try, but I might be barred from the place for forever. Y'all pictures might be up. and They got their money.
00:05:39
Speaker
They got their money. But the tip they go through. And this actually never happened to me before. If it was a place that I'd rarely go to or ah hardly ever go to, then I wouldn't even care. But it's it's a bad reflection on them.
00:05:55
Speaker
my friends who are regulars that they brought me here and induced me induced me to everybody. yeah and then Yeah. You got free drinks. I got some free drinks. And then and all of a sudden I don't tip zero dollars. Here's the here's a crazy thing though.
00:06:11
Speaker
So I asked my boy when we got the bill, i was like, oh, this is a nice bill. i was like, how much you going to leave? And he told me and I said, going leave more. So I purposely left more. Yeah.
00:06:22
Speaker
I don't know what happened. so I would check again because sometimes it'll run through the initial like credit card charge. And because you're writing in your tip, like it's not till like the end of the night.
00:06:37
Speaker
that maybe the charge will update typically tip when that happens there is another like pending like hole there is no pending hole unless I you um but then again I probably didn't comb through as thoroughly as I should have and It may have gone through and I just didn't see it, but I didn't, as a second charge, but I just didn't see it. And I can't, I can't have that on my conscience because we was laughing and joking and keep keying. can't have people thinking I was going to keep keying and didn't look out for him.
00:07:12
Speaker
Yeah. No, you pretty much, you pretty much look like garbage. I love like cur i look That looked like the worst. Yeah, yeah. You should make sure them people get their money. I mean, if you go in there again, you might not feel comfortable doing that with your picture on the wall. But if you go in there again, just go on humble, hey, hey.
00:07:35
Speaker
I don't know what happened, y'all, but I'm make sure y'all are good tonight. And then it happened again. <unk> now i'm going go in there with Cash next time and be like look hey, here, right here, just for y'all. want y'all to have this. Right now in front of me.
00:07:52
Speaker
That's so embarrassing. It's so embarrassing. I was reading something. I can't remember where I saw it. I can't remember remember where I saw it. And that's, as somebody who's a researcher, I tried to find the original article. I couldn't.
00:08:05
Speaker
I read it and retain the information, basically. But I read something that Gen Z is starting to shift away from social media. Okay. It's a shift. It isn't quitting. They're moving more to, like, Discord and group chats and close friends and locked accounts, things like that. Real life, like, a move towards private entities. Yeah.
00:08:29
Speaker
private entities yeah And the the reason why they say that is because Instagram has become more of a personal brand platform. They got tired for performing for strangers. Another thing was like influencer burnout is real. Years of watching creators sell...
00:08:47
Speaker
you know, garbage. They lost trust in the ecosystem. And another reason why they're starting to pull away is some of the same reasons why our generation has pulled away from Facebook. It's because older generations have finally cracked a code on Instagram and young people just basically bounce, you know, so us as older millennials or zillennials or whatever the hell I call and Gen X, who are actively using Instagram. And we've got a couple of people that are close to us that are Gen X that are in our family that are only like single digit years ahead of us yeah that are using Instagram and then posting like AI pictures and that's cool however young folks think that's lame that's cool for us but young folks is like
00:09:35
Speaker
That's kind of lame. I got to get up off here. And it's kind of like I'm about to throw mom under the bus. You know, I used to come up with like fake slang words back in the day, like chillax. Yeah. And scrape. Scrape, ladies and gentlemen, is when you straight and great, not straight as in sexuality. I don't know that you came up with those. i feel like chillax was definitely in the ecosystem. Chillax might have been. Scrape definitely was not.
00:10:01
Speaker
No, Scrape definitely was not. Scrape is it's an answer to a question. Somebody asks, hey, how you doing? Oh, I'm straight. Yeah.
00:10:12
Speaker
But you're better than just straight. You're straight and great, so you scraped. Okay. Yeah, and then mom started using that. And was like, no, I can't.
00:10:23
Speaker
I can't. Yeah, I mean, think it is twofold. One, the culture just got so, or it is right now, like so thick with like everybody is an influencer. Everyone has a podcast. Wink, wink. Wink. And there's so many just voices out there that it can, like, even have kind of backed away from social media. I haven't been on TikTok since 2024. Has it been that long? Oh, since the election. Since the election, yeah. So I haven't been on TikTok. I am very rarely on Instagram. And Facebook, forget about it.
00:11:06
Speaker
yeah I don't even have the app. Like, yeah. look I ain't been on Facebook for so long. I honestly haven't been on Facebook since you needed a college email to join. Oh, no.
00:11:20
Speaker
No, I've been on there since then. I got off Facebook in like 2010, 2011. It's just become just a really really crappy crappy app.
00:11:32
Speaker
Like, it just has. And I get, so I think it's that. I think it's just kind of like a little bit of like exhaustion with the current social media culture. And I also think, yeah, we made it not cool.
00:11:44
Speaker
Um, you know, we're old, we're middle-aged and we made it not cool. And you know, that's okay. Then just gone go and we'll just be lame together. And we just gonna move on to the next, whatever y'all are doing next. We right behind you. Like, I'm so sorry, but that is how it is. When you get you
00:12:10
Speaker
yeah yeah You can't let young people just have something. You gotta, once we figure out how to use it, it takes us a while to get on, right? Because we gotta to figure out how to use it first. And then once we figure out how to use it, we gonna be right there behind you. i don't understand discord.
00:12:30
Speaker
I have one. I don't know what it is. The show has one. It's basically a text messaging system. Like I am not like i am or kind of similar to AIM or just your text message thread on iMessage. It's essentially the same thing. Yeah, i don't I don't know what it is. I do have one, but I don't. i The show has one. Never used it, just like the show was we' start ah was supposed to start streaming.
00:12:57
Speaker
And ladies gentlemen, I know it's not that difficult. I just haven't had time to really figure it out and lock in. It's going to happen. It's going to happen. Yeah, we're going to figure it out. And guess what? I'm going to be on there.
00:13:08
Speaker
There you go. I also think it's interesting, and I'm going to touch into this as, ladies and gentlemen, if y'all have it figured out at the end of the show, I do a closing moments, minutes, or whatever at the end of each segment. I don't know. It's my little it's my little way of getting my little writer's hat. You know, I like to sit down right and write, and I get an an enjoyment out of that. And I have a point I need to make, and sometimes when I'm free-balling... When I'm freelancing in my speech, my thoughts are scattered. When I sit down and write, there I can get to the point. So I'll touch more on this later. But something needs to be said for the fact that they've grown up all their lives.
00:13:53
Speaker
on the internet. Like Gen Z is that first generation that grew up with social media. If you are 25, 26 year old kid, by the time you got your cell phone, Instagram was a thing.
00:14:10
Speaker
So you were on Instagram. yeah So I think that a lot of this has to do with, yes, you know, we made it not cool. But also, going to touch on this later, is them is a sense of finding yourself. Because it's hard to grow up performing, which is essentially what you're doing on social media, right? yeah Performing all the time and not really knowing who you are.
00:14:35
Speaker
Yeah. And ah sometimes a reduction of choice Makes life easier. I feel like even though I love the access to whatever movie and TV show that I want.
00:14:51
Speaker
Yeah. Narrowing down that choice is one of the hardest things in the world. It's a cheesecake factory menu. look let me Don't get me started on that cheesecake factory menu. I'll be staring at that menu and you know what I end up getting anyway?
00:15:04
Speaker
The same thing you always get. Which is what? I don't know, but I know mine is a shepherd's pie. Chicken tenders. A shepherd's pie is a good idea. Because you're chicken-finger-eating bitch. Goddamn chicken tenders.
00:15:20
Speaker
I'll never forget what my bestie said there. Why don't you me in a chicken-finger-eating bitch? yeah its so Friends like these. You're right. Who needs enemies? But when you have so much choice, it's hard to choose.
00:15:34
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. And so going back, making your life minimalist, right? Like that's what I'm trying to do in my place right now. I'm like, I got a lot of stuff. Yeah.
00:15:45
Speaker
I need to just go into these closets and make things simpler. Yeah. And I think that's what these kids are doing. The kids, they're not kids. the kids Y'all are kids to me, but y'all are not kids. Y'all are literally grown adults. And I think that's what they're trying to do is just try to, you know, minimize the distractions and really hone in and discover who they are as a person. And that will require you to kind of move away from these social media sites.
00:16:11
Speaker
Yeah, I think in order to discover yourself, you cannot do that online. Like you can't do it online because even then your authenticity is a performance.
00:16:25
Speaker
And so I think you got to disconnect and like get outside and touch grass, which feels like a very like archaic thing to say, but it also works.
00:16:37
Speaker
You know, it's like when your parent goes to tell you, just go up to the kids of school, say hi, my name is Johnny. You want to be my friend? You know, you think like this is stupidest advice.
00:16:49
Speaker
No. and then But then it works, actually. Sometimes. Sometimes. It depends on which kids. you and And honestly, have a little self-awareness. like Don't go up to the class bully yeah and extend an olive branch of friendship. no they and Yes, they are compensating for some probably some hurt yeah at some point, but they're not ready to face that at eight years old.
00:17:18
Speaker
No. going to just beat your ass. so yeah You know, but like, yeah, they it you have to log off. And I think that we were very fortunate because we didn't grow up on social media.
00:17:36
Speaker
Like we actually grew up outside and with our peers. We didn't have to deal with a pandemic that ruined high school for us. You know, like we didn't have to deal with the amount of performance that is involved in being on social media. Even when you're trying to get on and make a video or reel or something with your authentic feelings, it still feels like you're performing for people because you are. When you sit up and record yourself,
00:18:07
Speaker
Even in a moment of vulnerability or authenticity, it's still a performance. And so I really feel for that generation for sure because they did not have it easy.
00:18:20
Speaker
And they it's easy in a way that they have access to everything, like everything is at their fingertips, but not not human connection.
00:18:31
Speaker
you know what I mean? Like real authentic connection to other people. Like that's not something that is as accessible to them. Yeah. On the surface,
00:18:44
Speaker
This is about Gen Z leaving Instagram. But I don't think that's what's actually happening. They're not quitting social media. They're quitting the audience. For years, social media sold us this idea that connection bent visibility.
00:18:58
Speaker
The more people who saw you, liked you, followed you, shared you, the more connected you were supposed to feel. But somewhere along the way, we confuse being seen with being known.
00:19:11
Speaker
And those aren't the same thing. Because here's the uncomfortable part people don't want to talk about. Most social media was never designed to be social. It was designed to be performative.
00:19:22
Speaker
Think about it. Instagram isn't asking you who you are. It's asking you what to be perceived as. TikTok isn't rewarding authenticity. It's rewarding engagement. Every platform eventually becomes a stage because attention is the currency. And once attention becomes currency, people stop being people and start becoming brands. Even people who never intended to become one.
00:19:50
Speaker
That's why I understand why younger generations are moving into private spaces, whether it be group chats, Discord servers, close friends lists, locked accounts. Not because they're anti-social, but because they're searching for something that feels real.
00:20:04
Speaker
Now, to play devil's advocate, let's not pretend private spaces automatically solve the problem. A private Discord can still be performative. A group chat can still become an echo chamber.
00:20:17
Speaker
You're still curating yourself. The audience is just smaller. But maybe that's the point. Maybe human beings were never meant to maintain relationships with thousands of people at once. Maybe the Internet convinced us bigger was better when what we really wanted was deeper. And there's another piece of this that the older generations sometimes miss.
00:20:38
Speaker
Gen Z is the first generation that grew up with social media watching them their entire lives. When I was growing up, if something embarrassing happened at school, if you got rejected, got clowned, had a bad day, or went through something traumatic, eventually you got to go home.
00:20:54
Speaker
You got a break. The problem was still waiting for you tomorrow, but for the few hours, you could breathe. You could be away from it all. Gen Z never really got that luxury. The joke followed them home. The bully followed them home. The rumors followed them home. Sometimes there was video evidence that followed them home. Even awkward phrases, every bad haircut, every dumb decision, every mistake could live online forever.
00:21:21
Speaker
Imagine trying to figure out who you are while consistently being observed. Imagine trying to discover what you actually like when you're always thinking about what other people will think about it.
00:21:32
Speaker
We love to criticize Gen Z for struggling to make decisions or commit to a path. But you've spent your whole life performing for an audience or hiding parts of yourself from that audience. Wouldn't it be harder to know what you actually want?
00:21:49
Speaker
Maybe what we're seeing isn't indecisiveness. Maybe it's a generation trying to separate who they really are from who they've been expected to be. So the question isn't whether Gen Z is leaving social media. The question is whether they're rediscovering what being social was supposed to mean in the first place. Because if the future belongs to a smaller room and fewer voices, maybe that's not a retreat.
00:22:14
Speaker
Maybe that's a correction. Maybe for the first time in their lives, they're trying to figure out who they are without an audience watching. And honestly, I don't know if it's running away from social media.
00:22:27
Speaker
It just sounds a lot more like growing up.
00:22:35
Speaker
All all right, Jay.
UFC Fighter Controversy and Public Reaction
00:22:40
Speaker
I was deciding whether we were go to talk about this at all or not. And finally, I gained to the conclusion that there are some people that are going to be expecting the show on Friday when this airs.
00:22:56
Speaker
hu And to hear our perspectives on it. It won't be unsolicited. It's actually solicited. And then not because we you know we're this big, but there are fans that reach out to us and be like, hey, are you guys going to talk about this? Sometimes i I want to talk about it. Sometimes I don't. The Carmelo Anthony situation in Texas, I don't really want to talk about it. I might not have no choice. I might have to talk about it.
00:23:21
Speaker
But I really don't want to. And this one I really didn't want to talk about either, but... Same. Yeah. It's kind of important. And there was a point that I wanted to make. okay Ladies and gentlemen, what am I talking about? Well, they did the the Freedom UFC 250 whatever fight on the front lawn of the White House.
00:23:41
Speaker
The front lawn because of the White House. Because what? Because of course. The front lawn. This is how trashy this country has become.
00:23:54
Speaker
I mean, all they needed was some pickup trucks out there, broke-down pickup trucks that was rusted. They had everything else. It was the trashiest display.
00:24:06
Speaker
okay
00:24:09
Speaker
But... In that trashy display, a fighter, and I was debating whether not I was going to say his name. I'm not going to give him the publicity. p plum Publicity. It was going to get that word out eventually.
00:24:21
Speaker
But we're talking about jackass ho-bitch. That's a name that we could call him. yeah UFC fighter.
00:24:34
Speaker
Basically said... And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America? Now, every Black person on social media has come out and been like, yo, this is really how we moving?
00:24:48
Speaker
Yeah, we're tired. Like, is this really how we moving? Old, and it's so, like, lame. And first of all, being trans is not an insult.
00:25:02
Speaker
So you already, like, lost... with the And then we're over the misogynoir. We're over the transphobia. like is who are you who are you given Who are you performing this for?
00:25:18
Speaker
Who is this insult for? Because you know the Obamas are like, child, please. if they I'm sure they've heard about it by now, but like
00:25:30
Speaker
date they have been through much worse. Your little quip about Our forever first lady, like, please, it's not bothering her whatsoever. And you're probably never going to hear her even address it. But that's okay because she can go high. I will go to hell and I will address it.
00:25:51
Speaker
And now I'm not one for physical violence, but this person's job is physical violence. Right. Yes. So I wouldn't feel bad yeah entering the octagon.
00:26:06
Speaker
And just with a bunch of weapons, chairs. Might still might not help. This dude changed he's a He's UFC heavyweight champion. He knocked out a dude that night. Like my man can find, he got hands. He got hands.
00:26:20
Speaker
I will bring in an 87 Chevelle and just hit him with it. I will bring weapons into that octagon. Well, okay. I don't, I don't. Let's speak quiet be careful.
00:26:33
Speaker
All right. But keep on. What you mean, keep on? Keep on. ah For all of y'all, like, keep on. Because we we're hitting our limit.
00:26:47
Speaker
We're hitting our limit. and we've been trying to stay out your business while y'all go ahead and destroy the country. We've been trying to stay out your business. And let y'all go ahead and because the black vanguard that's been saving this country, i.e. black women, we're exhausted. And so we're just going to let y'all faffo, right?
00:27:08
Speaker
We're going to let y'all faffo. And so, but we, it's getting up there. It's getting up there. Don't talk about our forever first lady.
00:27:20
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Well, this to me, it was this was a pattern. And this is what I mean by this. It's not a slip. This was a rehearsed bit. He won the 2025 Contender Series. And in in his victory speech, he called out sex traffickers, pedophiles, rapists, and transgenders. Once again, sex traffickers, pedophiles, and rapists, cool. Call them out. Transgenders, not in the same category. What are you even talking about? Right. And he called them out as opponents that he wanted to fight.
00:27:50
Speaker
He's run the same line in earlier broadcasts with Brittany Griner. Brittany Griner, of course, a WNBA star. it's Called her a man as well. he And he kind of always targets black women. Specifically, this isn't a coincidence. And this mirror that he's labeled on Miss Madam Michelle O'Bottom,
00:28:12
Speaker
ah Forever First Lady, forever. It's 17 years old. yeah This is nothing new. This is not a new thing. It's not clever at all. No. What bothered me was Dana White knew this was this was bound to happen.
00:28:29
Speaker
Because before the event, he was asked directly if he briefed fighters on what to say, given the fact that it was on the White House grounds and it was supposed to be. All that stuff, right? Yeah, they definitely should have gone through some sort of media training, some sort of yes. Because just ah for the location to like have a little bit of class.
00:28:53
Speaker
given the location. They did not. Yeah. No. But Dana White is like now like putting words in people's mouths or like holding off their, what they can or cannot say. But he also said that when they asked him, when they put this dude on the card,
00:29:09
Speaker
He's like, yeah, he's had some bad things to say that I'm almost guaranteeing you that he's going to say some bad things. He predicted He knew something like this was going to happen because he said things like this before. it's his And he took no accountability.
00:29:22
Speaker
It's his MO. Yeah. Yeah. And then Rogan, Joe Rogan, who I, you know, every now and then he'll attack the president. and I'm like, maybe he's coming on to the to the light side. Maybe he's starting to see. No.
00:29:36
Speaker
But no, because he's sitting there interviewing him and he's the voice of UFC. And he just said at the end, ladies and gentlemen, and the guy's name, he didn't say, hey, that's not cool. No, nothing. No pushback. The announcers didn't push back.
00:29:53
Speaker
UFC was handling the broadcast. They didn't edit out, the because it's still on a delay, they didn't edit out anything. Could have. Definitely could have.
00:30:04
Speaker
and And it was the fact that it was on the White House lawn, right? Yeah. Like, this wasn't in Vegas. This wasn't at in the Octagon Arena in Las Vegas. This was in the People's House, because that's what the White House is. It's it's not Donald Trump's It's normally her house. Exactly. Exactly.
00:30:22
Speaker
Exactly. And the White House hasn't come out to condemn it. They've said nothing. No. Quick. I feel like this is not new for Trump. He's posted memes. Yeah, this is true.
00:30:36
Speaker
Of her. ah These horrible caricatures. this He agrees. Yeah. Well, he did take off the dude game of chain after he won.
00:30:49
Speaker
And after he said that Trump did take off the chain, I i i don't know why. he he was going to take off that chain. He was because it was probably fake gold or fake yeah gold he's used to.
00:31:00
Speaker
Yeah. He was going to take it off. But it's just
00:31:06
Speaker
I wanted to watch Fox News a little bit just to see how they were going to come up with a way. to spin this and make it not- They don't need They don't need to. They just won't address it.
00:31:19
Speaker
No, they addressed it. And they did it as they normally would. What about the things that people say about Melania? I was like, last I checked. You know you mean the truth?
00:31:31
Speaker
Well, um I don't know. some they Some people have said some harsh things about her. And I don't. But it's backed up with, this she is in the Epstein files. Like, we're not making that up. but People have said, you know, some other untoward things. And I'm like, I don't know if she's those things. Like, I'm i'm not rocking with that. But how does one equal one, right? How do you say, how can you not condemn one thing? Because you said somebody else. Who isn't the president?
00:31:57
Speaker
Right. The Obamas have never said anything about the Trumps. except for And let me tell you something. Barack got plenty of ammo. Oh, for sure.
00:32:08
Speaker
For sure. i mean, we saw that at that White House Correspondents dinner, which was the whole reason Trump ran for president. Because he got clowned, you know, 15 years ago.
00:32:21
Speaker
And he ain't let it go. If Obama had one mistake in his presidency, that was it. Because it brought us here. Yeah. It brought us here. when when and when When he wasn't the he at all, he saw Donald get tight. He should have been like, all right, let me let up. But I guess nobody thought that he was really going to be president. No, nobody thought the American people were that dumb. Yeah, well, they're getting dumber. You would be wrong.
00:32:46
Speaker
They're quite dumb. It's just, it's tired. And I'm tired. It's so boring. It's always got a of smoke for black women. And it's always black women. And the reason is obvious.
00:33:00
Speaker
Not only are we ah at the top of, you know, yeah folks that matriculate through higher education, Number one, new entrepreneurs. We are rising through the corporate ladder, private, public sector.
00:33:19
Speaker
And in terms of the Democratic Party, we are the most consistent and most solid voting bloc for the Democratic Party and and has not been swayed.
00:33:33
Speaker
Like from being the most, that's where the word consistent comes in, Jonna, the most solid voting block for the Democratic Party. And a lot of times we make up the vote that that puts people over the top.
00:33:48
Speaker
And so they they really want to attack us. But That's also old as hell. Like, honestly, they've been attacking black women since we were brought to these shores, you know, stolen and brought to these shores, whether they want to characterize us as a mammy or Jezebel or whether they deny us our femininity, our womanhood, our humanity, our rights. We're the last to get anything and have to work the hardest to get anything. You know, so, but we still continue to thrive and grow.
00:34:29
Speaker
And it is probably the most infuriating thing to a white supremacist. Because we're supposed to be under everybody's heel.
00:34:42
Speaker
We're supposed to be under everyone's foot. White men, black men, white women, we're we're supposed to be at that of the bottom of that totem pole and we keep scratching and going our way up toward the top. And they can't figure out a way to slow us down.
00:35:03
Speaker
And they've branded us as everything. We've been welfare queens. We've been we've been this. We've been that. They've branded us with every kind of, we're just baby mamas and this, that, and the third. Sure. Okay. And we're not listening.
00:35:18
Speaker
We don't care. We're going to continue to hype ourselves up. the way we've been doing, and we're going to continue to grow and thrive in spaces that we are constantly told we don't belong in That's never going to change, but it is honestly in my mind, this is just my opinion, the biggest threat to white supremacy and patriarchy is the Black woman.
00:35:47
Speaker
I want to ask you a question being a Black woman. I mean, you, 17 shades of super light skin, but you are, in fact, absolutely a Black woman.
00:35:58
Speaker
Yes, I have lived the life, for sure, of a Black woman. Barely. But just enough. Honestly, when you saw this clip, heard about this clip, what was going on in your mind? Obviously,
00:36:15
Speaker
It's all those other things that you said you were like, whatever, again. But a part of you also has to be furious as well. Yeah, yeah, for sure. and you know, not too long ago, Michelle Obama actually clarified her when they go low, we go high. And what she meant by that is not like that we push our rage to the side, is that we channel it into something productive.
00:36:47
Speaker
And so... When we keep that mentality, we are always going to be a threat. So my initial thought was, yeah, i'm I'm outraged by the... Well, actually, my initial thought was, oh, so boring. Like, that was my initial thought. And then it was just outrage on behalf of Michelle Obama because it's like what Key and Peele, little the Obama anger translator,
Challenges Facing Black Women
00:37:16
Speaker
right? Right, yeah. Yeah.
00:37:17
Speaker
I don't mind being that anger translator, but then it's also like, okay, well, what are we going to do with this? What is something productive that we can do about this other than expressing our disgust with the treatment of black women and trans folks in this country? Yeah.
00:37:38
Speaker
So somebody is going to start some initiative, There's going to be some, so something's going to pop out somewhere. Don't worry if one is, if several aren't already started.
00:37:49
Speaker
A way that we can reach out to different communities and highlight the beauty of, of different communities and show that black women are not a monolith and that our, our strength and resilience isn't masculinity. It is the highest form of our femininity on display. Hmm.
00:38:13
Speaker
Mm-mm-mm. That's well said. For me, on the surface, the story is about one fighter saying something offensive after a knockout.
00:38:24
Speaker
But that's not really what happened. Because if this were just about this fighter, we'd spend 30 seconds condemning the comet and move on. Instead, what makes this story important is everything that happened before the comet and everything that happened after it.
00:38:40
Speaker
Here's the uncomfortable part people don't want to talk about. The most revealing thing wasn't what this guy said. it was how many people with power chose not to respond. Dana White told us beforehand that something like this was likely to happen.
00:38:55
Speaker
Joe Rogan had the microphone after it happened. The President of the United States was standing just a few feet away. The UFC production truck controlled the broadcast. Every one of these people had an opportunity to define the moment.
00:39:12
Speaker
And almost nobody did. That's why silence matters. People love to say silence is neutral. It isn't. Silence is often interpreted as permission.
00:39:25
Speaker
Now, that doesn't mean every offensive statement deserves a national crisis. But context matters. Venue matters. Symbolism matters. This wasn't some random microphone in a casino ballroom.
00:39:39
Speaker
This was on the south lawn of the White House, the People's House, one of the most recognizable symbols of American democracy. And on that stage, a decades-old conspiracy theory targeting a Black woman was repeated for applause.
00:39:59
Speaker
And that's and another uncomfortable truth. The attack wasn't really about Michelle Obama. It never is. The same accusations have been thrown at Serena Williams, at Brittany Griner, at powerful black women for as long as many of us can remember.
00:40:16
Speaker
The goal isn't accuracy. The goal is dehumanization. And if we're being honest, this isn't just about Michelle Obama. This has always been a particular hostility directed toward strong women.
00:40:31
Speaker
But when that woman is black, the volume seems to get turned all the way up. Always find myself asking the same question. Why? Because when you look at women like Michelle, Serena, and countless other successful Black women in business, politics, education, and entertainment, what exactly are they doing to deserve this level of venom?
00:40:55
Speaker
They're not attacking people. They're not organizing campaigns against anybody. Most of the time, they're simply existing, succeeding, and refusing to shrink themselves to make other people comfortable.
00:41:10
Speaker
And that's where the real issue starts. For generation, patriarchy and toxic masculinity sold certain men the idea that they were supposed to be the superior simply because they were men.
00:41:21
Speaker
But reality has a way of testing our assumptions. And some people discover that strength isn't what they thought it was. Leadership isn't what they thought it was.
00:41:32
Speaker
Excellence isn't what they thought it was. So instead of questioning the belief, they attack the person exposing it. Now let's be clear, this isn't a problem for strong black women, except when that hostility turns into discrimination, exclusion, or actual harm. The real crisis belongs to the people carrying all that resentment.
00:41:53
Speaker
Because imagine spending your life angry at somebody else's success. Imagine spending your life threatened by somebody else's confidence. That's not power, that's insecurity.
00:42:05
Speaker
And yes, there are women who help reinforce these ideas too. But at its core, this is about people who see strong black women standing confidently in their own skin and feel diminished by it.
00:42:20
Speaker
Michelle Obama is going to be all right because people who know who they are don't lose sleep over conspiracy theories. People who know who they are don't spend their days trying to tear down strangers they've never met.
00:42:33
Speaker
And when all you can do is try to make a giant look smaller, what you're really telling the world is how small you feel yourself. Because in our heart, Michelle Obama knows exactly what this is. It's just a little man trying to make themselves feel bigger, but making themselves even smaller.
Gen Z's Saxophone Trend and Personal Anecdotes
00:43:01
Speaker
Jay, there's an interesting social media trend that's going out. And Gen Z is still a part of this trend, so they're still on social media.
00:43:14
Speaker
yeah Now, I bet they don't know where it's from. And it's the saxophone sound getting louder, which is originates from Boys in the Hood. yeah Ricky was going down the alley. Why he stopped to take a pee, I don't know. Why was he drinking milk on a hot summer day? I don't know. Scratching off that lottery ticket when they was literally running away from from people that was about to shoot him. A lot of questionable things. A lot of questionable things. And you hear the saxophone low, and it gets louder and louder and louder before Rick Lee becomes... gets unalived in the alley. So now, the trend is, which is one, i have mixed feelings about it, because that particular scene broke a whole generation's heart.
00:43:58
Speaker
Not mine, because Ricky, what was you doing, baby? No, Ricky had got the SAT scores. He was about to go to college. He was about to do it. Yeah, so there's somebody out there after you. You know what you did with this girl. he didn't take seriously. He was like, them fools just trying to scare somebody. That's what he said.
00:44:14
Speaker
Anyway, so people are doing these reels where it's something not quite similar, but something bad is about to happen, and they're playing the saxophone. And I was like, you know what?
00:44:27
Speaker
I just want to do this on the show where we've had situations personally where the saxophone sound should have been playing in the background dear as we were doing it because something bad was going to happen. For you, recently, it would have been driving in the road when you hit that big cinderbuck.
00:44:45
Speaker
Yeah. But I have a couple of ideas that I want to bring up. But before we get to my ideas, is there anything that hits your mind outside of you hitting the Senator block where you know that saxophone was playing as you was doing something?
00:45:01
Speaker
Yeah. It's a lot of times when I go out and the bill comes.
00:45:09
Speaker
And I'm checking my accounts and it's that saxophone gets on the whole house. And I'm sweating harder and harder until I find a card that'll cover what the hell I spent.
00:45:24
Speaker
You probably should figure that out before you go out. But, ah okay, that's one. Can you think of anything else? No, I can't. Oh, it's usually something around having the dogs. Usually something, would say, whenever Roscoe gets the zoomies,
00:45:43
Speaker
ah he he He worked out that number, too. Like, it works its way down. okay. And so as he's running back and forth, I just hear them saxophones getting louder and louder.
00:45:55
Speaker
and Don't you go in this house because you didn't work something down.
00:46:01
Speaker
So usually something like that. I have two stories from our past okay for this. The saxophone was definitely playing. But for me personally, the saxophone is always playing every time I meet a woman.
00:46:16
Speaker
Oh, boy. Every single time. It's about to be a train wreck. Something bad is about to happen to me in my personal life. Because of the choices I make is always bad. I'm Ricky. Yeah.
00:46:29
Speaker
Thinking that it's no big deal drinking milk on a summer day every time I meet a woman. Every single time. Yep. Red flags up or down. Just ignore him You be telling me, hey, I don't know about this one, Bruce. And I'd be like, no, this is going to be all right.
00:46:43
Speaker
Just refuse to listen. That's when the saxophones start. When you say the words, no, this is going to be all right. That's when they start to play in the background. And I'm like, all right.
00:46:57
Speaker
Yep. All right. All right. I want to get to two particular stories. Okay. One I was there for. One we've never really told. We've alluded to on this show.
00:47:13
Speaker
But we've never told the whole story. and And the saxophone was playing the time that you and our brother left the house to ride bikes.
00:47:24
Speaker
And you rode down this street. And y'all decided... Dead Man's Curve. Dead to ride Dead Man's Curve. And the saxophone was playing as soon as y'all got on your bikes.
00:47:36
Speaker
Please tell the story about what happened. You and our brother have argued back and forth about whose fault it actually was. No, there's no argument. I don't think there's any argument whatsoever. So, Dead Man's curve was a very tight curve at the end of our street. It almost like was not level like with the ground, it like the the concrete almost was like at like a 45 degree angle going around this curve. It was very sharp.
00:48:06
Speaker
I don't know where we were headed, but we needed to go around this curve to get there. And I said very clearly, stay on your side of the street. We were on opposite side. We weren't riding side by side or together. I said, stay on your side of the street because this curve is...
00:48:28
Speaker
is a monster. Okay. And we going, we had 10 speeds. Like we were not on the little tricycles. Okay. So stay on your side of the road.
00:48:39
Speaker
And as we're going around, as we're taking the turn, I'm on the outside. He's on the inside of the lane. He crosses over trying to be funny.
00:48:54
Speaker
My front tire makes contact with his rear tire. He goes off into the grass. I slide down the street on my face.
00:49:07
Speaker
okay And you can hear me crying from a quarter mile away. And that and ah y'all like to say that it just gets louder and louder, the sound of me crying as I get closer to the house. Let me take over from here. Ladies and gentlemen, when we were at the house, me, our father, and our mother at the house, all we heard coming up the road was this. Ah.
00:49:38
Speaker
Ah.
00:49:43
Speaker
That's all we heard. You understand. I took that whole turn on my face.
00:49:54
Speaker
ah He fell off into the ground. think barely skinned his knee. No, he had bruises too. He was jacked up, but not nearly as bad as you. No, my entire lower jaw was swollen like three times the size. And I had to go to school like that. Yeah. I had to go to school like that. And and no, I'm not over it. Yes, the saxophones got louder because I don't know why I trust it.
00:50:24
Speaker
That he would stay on his side of the street. Here's the thing, though. Y'all shouldn't have been on one side or other. Y'all should have been trailing each other because the cars would be coming in the other direction.
00:50:36
Speaker
Yes. they couldn't see when you make that turn. That's why I'm on the outside. I can see the cars coming. i I tried to take the role of responsibility for this. I gave very clear instructions. Now, if we were trailing each other, that's when I get brake checked. And guess what? The same thing was going to happen. Hold on, so har yeah I don't think I remember hearing this part.
00:51:03
Speaker
Or maybe when our brother tells the story, he leaves out this part. He was playing around yeah Dead Man's girth. Yes, swerving his bike. Probably doing this. Probably doing this.
00:51:14
Speaker
Yeah, swerving his bike all across the street, and our and our and our wheels made contact, and we go flying. Just a kee-keeing the whole time until y'all go flying. Yeah.
00:51:28
Speaker
the Yeah, that that definitely was. I don't know why y'all even thought to ride your bikes down. We had to go somewhere that we had to go around this curve. There was no reason for y'all to go down. I never went down that road.
00:51:44
Speaker
We had to do something. I don't know what it was, but I was like, look, we got to take this curve.
00:51:53
Speaker
but we be i mean, i so we stopped the bikes. at the at the start of the curve and I gave very clear instructions on how we were going to handle this.
00:52:07
Speaker
And they were not just ignored, Willfully disobeyed. while While y'all were walking back and y'all were crying, were you cussing him out? wasn't Joe. I was crying. No, he was crying, too. He was crying, too. He was crying because he probably knew he was going to get in trouble for not listening to what I said. No, y'all both should have been in trouble for riding your bikes on Dead Man's Curve. It would have been fine. No, I could have sworn that our parents said,
00:52:36
Speaker
don't go down that road. No, I don't even think they knew the curve existed. No, they did know the curve existed. Nobody needed to go all the way down our street. For what? That curve led to another road. Anyway, yeah did did our brother say anything to you as y'all were walking to the house?
00:52:53
Speaker
I don't remember. Did you say anything to him? I couldn't hear over my tears. You have to understand, when I say skidded down the street on my face, my little body was still in the air.
00:53:08
Speaker
And I'm just sliding Down the street, sparks flying. Sparks went flying. Everything on my face.
00:53:18
Speaker
I don't know what was said. I don't know who said it or when. Did I probably say something? Maybe. I don't know. I don't remember. I just remember a horrible pain.
00:53:31
Speaker
I remember them saxophones. and i And I remember just crying and being like, I just got to go home. all right, well, I didn't hear the saxophones, but you did for this next one. Mm-hmm.
00:53:46
Speaker
I'm on my way to school. I'm running late. And our parents tell me to drop you off at school on my way to school. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It is cold outside. The windows are frosted.
00:54:03
Speaker
I'm running late. I think it was a game day. So if I'm late to school, I don't get to start. Yeah. So I'm rushing. I don't wait for the car windshield to defrost. I could just see a little bit out of my side.
00:54:17
Speaker
And let me tell y'all, when I say the circumference of this little bit of window he could see out of was not... It it was just a little...
00:54:30
Speaker
a little peep through the window. Whole window is covered with ice. It was the size of my head, okay? it was the size of my head that I could see through. But I could see. i could see.
00:54:42
Speaker
You could see literally at tunnel vision because you couldn't see nothing out your peripherals. Nothing. Nothing. But I'm running late. The saxophones are playing. I don't hear him You hear them. Because you're like, I don't know about this, Bruce. I'm like, I got to get you to school. this is I'm running late. So we turn the corner to come out of our complex.
00:55:06
Speaker
And again, no peripheral vision. None. None. And then there's a loud crash. who I believe you jumped out of the car and ran home.
00:55:18
Speaker
a
00:55:20
Speaker
I don't remember. Probably. Yeah. I believe because the crash happened on your side. And what did I crash into, ladies and gentlemen? A parked car that I didn't see while turning this corner. And it wasn't a small crash because almost the entire headlight side, the headlight of the passenger side was completely destroyed.
00:55:43
Speaker
Yeah. Car dented in the entire thing. Yep. I think the tire even went flat. I crashed into this thing hard. And one thing about me and auto accidents, I'm going to jump up out that car.
00:56:00
Speaker
yeah I don't know why that's my first instinct.
00:56:07
Speaker
But my first instinct is to go ahead and jump up out that car. Like, I don't know why. i don't know if I'm afraid of getting trapped in the car, what it is. But I'm like, mm, I'm out. like yes I remember you jumped out the car crying and ran home.
00:56:25
Speaker
Yep. I jumped out the car like, oh, shit. When did I just hit? It was another car. And I was like, mm. going to be in trouble for this one because it's pretty clear that I didn't let DeFrost and them saxophones was playing.
00:56:41
Speaker
and So I decided to say, this is good enough. And they just got louder. But I made it a good amount of way, a good amount of way, a good, yeah, good amount of distance.
00:56:56
Speaker
Yeah. um Before getting into that accident. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. We were still in our neighborhood. i didn fake You know what? In retrospect, thank God that happened there and not on the main the neighborhood. and not Because we were headed for the main road. Yes. we we were literally We were literally probably about 40 feet away from the intersection. Yes.
00:57:23
Speaker
And then from that intersection, highway. Highway. It's highway. and And not being able to see. Yeah, no, that could have been really bad. But them saxophones was playing the entire time.
00:57:37
Speaker
Yeah. Luckily, it was a parked car, not a person. oh God. Like, it was a lot of ways in which that could have gone wrong. And I was sitting there, I was like, I know I can't see.
00:57:52
Speaker
So if I can't see, I know he can't see.

Speaker
Aside from those consequences. Yes. Sure. I had a ah moment recently where the saxophones were playing. Same. I decided that I was going to do this particular exercise in the gym.
01:00:34
Speaker
And I should have known that I was going to hurt myself. Yeah. and But I had this unreal expectation of myself because I work out all the time, but not realizing how old I am now because I'm old now. Officially, I'm old.

Speaker
Yeah, I hurt myself. And the saxophone was playing the entire time. can still do this. No, i couldn't. A lot of it is, I'm going to be honest, it's hubris. Because mine was, it was a couple birthdays ago.
01:01:04
Speaker
Maybe my 39th birthday, I don't know. But a good friend made me some cannabis cookies. oh And i heard this story.
01:01:16
Speaker
No measurements, just just bacon. Just no, we don't know what the potency is. of any of this, no idea. And and i ate the entire cookie because it was a strawberry cookie with white chocolate chips. It was delicious. It was absolutely delicious.
01:01:37
Speaker
And it just kept escalating. And them saxophones got louder and louder and louder until it was all I could hear. And I don't know if anybody has ever had an instance where they want to come down and they can't.
01:01:54
Speaker
But that that was one of those times where it's like, no, I don't want to be this way anymore.
01:02:06
Speaker
ah when I would like to no longer... Be in this state of mind, please. There is no way to come down from an edible. I remember accusing my boy that gave me an edible, saying that, yo, man, I think this is laced with heroin, because there ain't no way in the world.
01:02:23
Speaker
I laid in the bed and saw my soul leave my body. Yeah. And I said, this can't be. I was laying in the bed. That's not normal. And it like bed was sinking and trying to swallow me. And I said...
01:02:37
Speaker
I can't do nothing. And my ex at the time was like, why don't you just go to bed? Because my bed the bed is going to eat me. Yeah. And can't go to bed. You don't understand what I'm going through right now. And my boy was like, it's not even really that serious. You're just a lightweight. But the next day, he took the same edible, and yeah he was playing soccer with my dog without a ball. yeah And I said, hey, man, are you playing soccer with my dog without a ball?
01:03:03
Speaker
And he's like, oh, yeah, this was a lot stronger than I thought it was. but Yeah. You got to be careful. You got to be careful. Jay, what do you want to tell these people before we get out here? Hey, stop ignoring them saxophones. Y'all hear it.
