The motherfucker is this shit crazy because they said they don't want Iran to have one nuclear weapons. They've been saying that since the 90s, though. But since I can't remember, they've been saying that one.

You know how that's that nuclear weapons of America got? Yeah. America got nuclear weapons here and all over the world. Real. But I tell you what, they, that's the first time we just seen a standing president say the word fuck. They put that out today. This was the first time a standing president that said the word fuck. What he said, fuck him?

Yeah, he said they don't know what the fuck they're doing. He did? Yeah. I need to flip. Somebody pulled that up. Yeah. Bill Clinton said fuck too. We just ain't him.

Yeah. I did not fuck that. He was like, fuck. What a heck. Yeah, but you ain't never, you ain't never hear him said. Buddy said, they don't know what the fuck they do. That how he got caught because morgue said fuck. I'm like, what?

Oh, shit, get up. Girl, get up. He's fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing you. Hey, he pissed that nigga ass out of him. Hey. Hey. He pissed that next level right this now. Hey, bro.

He knows he can't run again. I'm here. I'm going to do as much as I won't until y'all MP. That's a hard-ass clip, bro. I damn never want to put it in here. The motherfucker came out. They don't know what the fuck they're doing. That's what he said, bro.

But we can get it, but we can get, like, Marlut the King voice to do it, like, A-I. They don't know what the fuck they're doing. No, no, no, no, I ain't fucking with them. I ain't fucking with them. What you want, A-I-I? No, they're Mar-Lookeen. Why? They got on my ass.

They got on you? Yeah, because he posted the fly. He posted that fly. Somebody. What happened, bro? What happened, bro? The King family got mad at your game. Bernice?

Bernice. Listen, we love y'all. That's what I'm saying. You know how many talking I went to the King's summer? Bro, I'm going to mad about that. What happened, gang? Bro, somebody made the picture. You remember we was at one music fest, right?

Right. They put it in black and white. Right. Then they made it sing like me and Martin Luther King was on their bed like this. What wrong with that? It's like your palms. I had reposted the joint, right?

That's the same day they got on sexy red. By the sexy red. So I'm fucking around. I said... What she posted? She posted. She posted a fly. Where they had

Martin Luther King with a grill and he was getting like a lap dance or something. But they post that shit all year, every year. Right, right. So I reposted my own shit.

I said, don't let Bernice see this. She saw it. Boy, I ain't know I was so hated, bro. It's crazy how you can go from funny as hell to a fucking

slam ball in one tweet. Oh, listen, bro. Well, it ain't a number. I hate this, Nick. Well, it ain't nothing but my little king, how hugging? I didn't even make it. It's hugging, though. Not a gold grill.

It's hugging. What she wanted to do? Be much about my little king or something? Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I can understand the frustration if that's your family, but as far as... What's the bad picture? I mean, but I'm saying as far as, like, the disrespect of Martin Luther King, for real, we got to go to some of these streets this thing.

That's the real disrespect. What they're doing on this night? What they're doing on this? Nigger Street and across the country. I'm from Martin Luther King. I'm from Martin Luther King. What about... My point is that? I'm from Martin Luther King. What about the picture where they merged

Martin Luther King with Mick Mill? Don't know, but I never say shit about that? I ain't seen that one. But the picture won't explicit. They put Martin Luther King on all his album cover. All the Mick Mill picture they took his face off and put, like they put his face with because he looked like a young Martin Luther King.

That's all do. Damn, but your picture one. It wasn't. It wasn't even disrespectful. Niggins was just running out of shit to be mad about that day. Damn. That how it'd be sometimes. But we do. We love the King family, man.

We love it. Come on, man. We have never ever, ever, ever, ever at our life. Disrespect. No, Dr. Montaludicchio. Come on, man. What? We don't even know how that starts.

I feel like fighting out. Just because of a nigga thing, we don't fight. Follow the King. All right. I'd have a dream. I'll knock your ass out. But I'm not the king.

All right, I'm about to say put that in. Yeah, I'm not to the king. You're like, you see how easy it is? It's so easy, slip. It's so easy to get caught up, man. No, we're going to keep that clip rolling. We love the King family. Bernie, we love you, girl.

No, going to get on the show. She ain't hit me back. No, she's going to get on the show. She's going to come back. She's going to come back. She'll be like, I'm mad. I'm sorry. I don't know. The crazy part is.

She wanted to take it out on Second Red. You were the closest one. She was like, you know what? Fuck all y'all, y'all. The crazy fuck. She wasn't even the one. It was them. It was the people.

The people. The people. It was a nine-year-old white boy. The ones that looked like us, that ain't us. There was a nine-year-old white boy with cat in this profile. Yeah. So they can't get taken down. Yeah.

That's what's going on. Picture of Mr. Burns. So that's what it was. Fermin' never made. She ain't never seen. It was somebody who made. Not somebody, it was millions of people. Million, I had this.

Nick, this shit was Trent. Really? Yeah. You're slam all? I'm like, wow. I'm slammed out. Oh, my God. You're looking for you.

You know you're pissed off the wrong people on the internet. When them niggas who show up from places you ain't never heard of, I'm talking about pull up. Who? Like some marketing? Like, niggins who live in America? Like, what the fuck you live over there? What fuck is Westerchuk, New York being?

Where is that? But we're going to pull up, though. What's what about it? I ain't pull up or what? I don't ever pull up or what? Make it by the time we get that, we're going to forget what the fuck is left for that. They ain't going to be mad that long. It was on his birthday, too, wasn't.

I don't even think it was his birthday. Damn, man, you know how many of this. First of all, they can't get mad at you. They stay mad, bro. Because Kitty Tren has got so many shirts that Dr. Mon Luther King. Every 10 twill. It don't make loose. Listen, we'll keep it 100.

on the bottom of it. Dr. King kept it 100. Hey, hey, I've seen him, now, Dr. King kept it 100. Hey, that wasn't see the tree went wrong.

They tried to be hip-hop. With the rhinestone. You shouldn't be hip-hop. What? The crel all roundstone. Dr. King kept it 100. See, the tree is fucking around and starting being kids' bop.

Daywin, what's you, what's you playing? The Greatest Hits, compilation. You want to go get a deadlock? Yeah. Pretty dream for the hood of white people. Like, what is this? The white people that wear them the Mexican Georgia. Oh, the top of the hood of the shit.

Yeah, man. You know what's crazy, bro? And like the white dude, Coach Carr. No, I'm some crazy shit, though. You know, they got mad at Mexican OT. For saying he said it's N-word. But, bro, I don't even see the thing about that shit is, remember I've seen him at the BET. I just seen him at Johnny Dangs.

He just, right after we had, the day after we had that conversation, I ran into him at Johnny Dangs, man. That's a nigga, man. I ain't going to take it that far, but. I mean, this was the, before that shit even happened, though, I was like, he came and we did a quick little interview, right? You know, for the little BETT Media House. And I was like, bro, it's good to see you here. He was like, I ain't know it was going to be like this. And I was like, yeah, it's like that.

Black people are the most embracing people of all people, bro. You need to be here. Right. And they were like, no, I don't. But you can tell how it's like, how motherfuckers say it with a different intention? He was like, no, I really don't do. And it was kind of like, oh.

But see, I don't know. Oh. No, you can't, I think. No, you can't. But you can't do the type of shit that you do and not see the importance of that. Like, you can't just. It's make rap music and think you don't have to connect with the people who consume rap music. Yeah, I agree.

And then it's like, we got a whole generation of black people who don't even know the stigma behind the words. Right. You get what I'm saying? But it can't be an uproar every time that happens because I don't know if y'all know this shit or not. But trying to figure out who said and who don't say it, they all said. Every chance they get Even the cool motherfuckers at work

The Indians say it The Chinese say every race of people say it And they don't try to hide it They say it the same way you say it In the correct contact They be at the house Talking to their little brother Look at this nigga

Yeah No damn way that shit don't fit But it's... Mama come home frustrated Why you gotta act like niggas hauling? I know it's a white lady than walked up the hallway man. I didn't raise y'all to be acting like niggins.

Yeah. But see, I think that... They all say that shit. It's a definitive difference between the word that was used to demean and diminish black people. That's not the word we use. That's not the word we use. NIGGA is used to describe males. Or just identify males.

That's what nigger is. Like, what's that. Anybody... Look at that nigger. Like, it's just the... define men and when you grew up in that environment. It's a noun. Yeah, it's a noun.

Like, you're just going out of the person. You know what I'm saying? You're calling a male, if you see a male dog, like, nigger, stop. Like, it's just the way that we've defined it. And when you grew up in that environment, that's what males describe each other as in the environments that we come from.

So that's how somebody can get confused as to what that word really represents. But somebody who grew up having to hear, the N-Words, see, we don't even say. That's offensive. Like the end- you wanted to say n-word. Yeah, you wanted to say that the N-word, the N-word and nigger is two different words.

Nigger! That don't even sound right coming out of, ugh. They said. That's a nasty word, bro. They said. Oh, everybody said. They all said it. My barber told me when I was a little boy, he told me two times.

He said, man, show me a white person, and I ain't said the word nigger and I show you a toddler. You damn right. They even they said. You know what I mean? Yeah. See, he's like, even the word. nigga, though. Every language on earth got a variation of that word to describe dark skin black people with Negroes features, whatever, negroes features. But that word translates

into everything. But they say the wrong version, the same word. And it's crazy because like you said, that's two different things. And we speak it, we can speak to the pain of the word. Yeah. Because it's embedded in. our DNA. Yeah. We know what it was used for. Yeah. And once we made a decision to not let it be used like that no more, when we said that we took the power out of it, then it became powerless. It was powerless because we didn't allow y'allel. Right. They wanted so bad. They want it right back. They're like, give it back. You're like, no. You know what? Now as you put it like that, yeah. Black people gentrified the N-word. But think about this, right? We did the reverse of what they

do to us and our communities with that word. We took that word and made it ours, and now they want to come and use it and take it back. Nah, now y'all did that in the community. We judged about it. They took it. They were like, you ain't nothing about a nigger. He was like, oh, you're talking about a niger? And who was to say that it was them

who came up with it. The shit too powerful. It couldn't have been nothing of their creation. They couldn't have created that. No, I'm telling you that. They heard us saying it. I'm telling you they can't, they ain't, they ain't, they ain't come out with a word and did try to make it. Because I don't think no way in hell we would have took something that bad.

It wasn't bad when we had it. It wasn't bad when we had it. I feel like it wasn't never bad when we had it. Think about it, though. As a black man, if you push a white man button enough to make him call you a nigga, you won. He didn't ran out of everything else. He felt like that was it. He's it.

He looked at you, too, nigger. Think about when he hit that bitch and then, you laugh like, oh, yeah, I got it. That shit hurt even worse. That hurt. That hurt. And you can see, you've seen the videos when they nigger! Yeah, they start crying. You know what I'm saying?

Oh, you know what I'm saying? Oh, nigger, yeah. Because it don't work. And that's why you got to, you can't let that word break you into, because that's what they can utilize to get us to do exactly what it is that they've labeled us as by calling us that. Think of the psychology behind this shit, though. No, they're gonna lag. No, I ain't gonna lag.

I ain't gonna lag. I ain't gonna lag. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? They seen us saying this shit, and this sounded so good. It looked so good. It flows so well in the conversation. They wanted it in on that shit, though. Yeah, they wanted to see everything.

What's all my knick? What's the fool? They were like, damn. Like, we can't even see that word. I think me in DC talked about this one time. What's that? We should sell it to them. That's the only way we're gonna get the reparations.

To sell them names. Sell them the word, but then we got to be, but I'm going to say it got to be some stipulations because if we sell it back to them, boy, it's going to be, you're going to go to talk and it's going to be a whole aisle of nigger necessities. The nigger necessity aisle. Oh, man, they're going to be making commercials and everything. There's nigger candles, nigger napkins. Nigger napkins. Nigger naps. Nigger nap.

We can't do that, though. They're going to go too funny. All in one time, just grab his shit. You look like Black Friday on the bullfucking. They're going to change it's a nigger frog. You let my nigger naps go. No, she got my nigger naps. Y'all remember Trump first presidency that night on Twitter when they said Trump.

They were trying to tweet Trump wants a bigger Navy, but they fucked up and put Trump wants a nigger Navy. That was one of the most epic nights in Twitter history, bro. When niggas making memes of the nigger navy You can still search that hashtag and laugh your ass on Let me ask you this, let me ask both of y'all this What era do you think as far as we concerned? What era of niggas use the word nigger the most efficient? I think I'm going to go with the niggas from the 70s

Because I'm telling you. Knicker, please. I'm going to say now. Niggas from the 70s, I feel like they get all the gloaties. I think niggas from the 50s and the 60s. It was rough on them. We don't get enough glorification. Can look, think about this.

Niggas in the 50s and 60s. And even like prior to that, probably the all way to the early 1900s, right after slavery, probably. Niggas used to use the word nigger as a warning. I'm gonna run away. Nick him? Nick him? Yeah.

That mean, don't do that. You sure not. Nicker. Don't do that. Like, nigga was a warning. It wasn't a greeting yet. Right, right. This was the when you didn't went too goddamn far. Knocked a fire that white man. Nigger.

What'd he do? You look at me in his eyes. What? Look me in my eyes. They can blink. No, no blinks. Two blinks. You wouldn't be a smart. That ain't, that wouldn't be smart nigger of you.

It's a better on what the nigger say, nigga'll let you walk away. I'm gonna get you on that white dad. I'm sick of this, I'm tired of it. Nicker. No, hey,

I'm telling you. She used to be real. She used to be real. Nigger was like, hey, stop, bro. You tripped. Yeah. Yeah.

You ain't even hear the word, nigger till you was right there about to crash out. Uh-huh. For sure, for sure. Right down the edge. But see, niggas in the 70s, they used, they flipped the whole shit. Yeah, that's what I said.

They were using the shit to provoke, like, Black Panthers and shit. Because they want to come down here and lock up a bunch of niggas. Uh-huh. You had to put a little pause in it. You couldn't go straight to you. Niggers. Yeah, because that's what I'm saying. Like, that's the era with every nigger is a star.

That's my every nigger is a star. Yeah, hell, yeah. Every nigger is a star. Every nigger is a star. In the 70s, I don't know what yet. This brother came out in 69. 69, 70, yeah, right at the end. That's what they flipped it.

You know what I'm saying? Oh, flat in the family stone. Don't call me nigger. Whitey. That shit was hard. White. Black exploitation movie. Remember this one?

One of the coldest ones all time. Which one? Boss nigger. Boss nigger, yeah. Fred Williams. Fred Williams. Boss nigger. See, that's the thing we just.

Our greatest export is our culture, man, and nigger is culture. And no matter how you want to look at it, man. I ain't going to lie. Sometimes I don't like saying it around them. Because I remember how I used to made it. I'm like, man, I ain't a motherfucker. No, I say nigger because I need motherfuckers to know exactly who I'm talking to. Yeah.

See? It's some shit that I can say on this podcast. That ain't for everybody. You can write my potter. What's up, my nigga? That's that I just go there. Sometimes I'd just be talking directly to niggas. I ain't even talking to all black men.

It's a certain kind of nigg. that I'm talking to. Like, that's why this shit worked. Because we, we all niggas. But that's not all we are. See, we was able to connect on the niggins. We were some rude niggins. We was able to connect on the niggas shit that we do.

Facts. Because we all undid some niggins some niggins. And won't, and going to do some more. For real. Can't help it. It's embedded in who you are. It's just what we come from. It's like, it's a cultural thing.

It's, I think that's where the, the, the disconnect comes from. People don't understand that that word is a part of the culture that we have raised in. That's the part of the culture that they don't never get to see. Yeah. They don't know why it's so cool to be a nigger. Yeah, they don't understand the shit that niggas do. Like a nigger could go buy a brand new car. Mm-hmm.

And then what? But he'd rather build a box Chevy. That's nigger shit. Mm-hmm. Because this ain't the shit that nobody wanted. Mm-hmm. They was giving these bitches away. We take shit and we make

shit great. Yeah. A nigga can have a pantry full of trash bags but still go get that grocery bag and hanging on the bump fucking doorknob. But the only thing that's kicking us back is because we do that. We can't. Nigginship have a rubber and don't use it. But we can't. Yeah. That's niggas shit.

Boy, it don't get no more niggish shit. Sure. We're like, let me eat it. What's I talk to me? I'm not looking back. You see where it goes. Nigger shit. Well, you got two bitches pregnant at the same time. That's nigger shit.

And then it goes in the category because then you got old nigger shit. Then you got young niggas shit. Right. Old nigger shit and young nigger shit is two different things. But an old nigger is going to be able to understand a young nigger and a young nigga going to be able to understand the old nix. Watch this. This some nigger shit in my person out of my life.

Right. My mama got four kids My daddy got four kids But if you put all them kids together It ain't eight kids Talk your talk Because you and your Your mom and your dad

This thing is supposed to be built like the rock, man. Oh, my God. But they all said. What happened when you had babies out of the sister? They all say that. That's the only thing, though, is like, we can't collectively agree on enough shit. Like, universal.

That's what happened is fucked up. Yeah. I think that's the thing we got to do. We got to fit this nigga here, man. This is just picking out here, Simone. He's a semi-Simon. A semi-moin. Somebody did what it looks like.

for a show. My dad a new Martin Luther King. That what I'm trying to tell these folks. They knew these folks. They probably don't goddamn kicked.

No, for a show. Because they just passed. Your dad had passed the Martin Luther King would pass. I know they didn't kicked it on some of that shit. But, niggia, don't be you understanding.

The King and them family house is off Simpson. Simpson, Role? It's like in the depth of Simpson. And his church right around the corner, my dad, the church and Simpson. All the pastors at that time,

they know each other. Yeah, of course. You know what I'm saying? For sure. Yeah, it's a fraternity. I wonder what he was up to before he got famous. Who? About the game?

Like, trying to get equal rights. That's real nigga shit. But you know, back then to speak up, that was scary. Listen, it's a, uh... That took some bravery. A restaurant in D.C. Call the Florida Avenue Grill. Listen to Toys,

known as being the oldest soul food restaurant in America. Opened in 1944. I mean, 1941 or 44, I can't remember. But they got a booth in each booth that you sit in, they got somebody famous that did something in that booth. Me and my little brother just went. They said, Dr. King sat in this booth to plan, I have a dream speech in 1963 or whatever year he did that.

I have a dream speech. And I was just like, man, I wonder what them niggas was talking about in this booth. Could you imagine, niggas, sit down. Look, man. I got idea. I wrote this speech, but I want all the niggas in America to come here. We're going to do it right here in D.C. at the mall. Which mall?

The mall. Nick, which mall? They got plenty malls down here, Martin. Which mall we're going to do it? No, no, no. The mall, the monument. I'll tell you one thing. I ain't doing no damn marching.

We ain't got to do that. All right. We just go march down to the mall. God damn. It's going to do it. It's going to be dope. What you think about? about that.

Nicky Chance told me we weren't doing no bad. Hey man, come on. Chill out, Henry. See, this your boy. Chill out. Now, all I'm saying is this. If we can get this done, man, we can make some changes. One second, just bring the words.

We can get this done, man. I just need y'all support. You got my support because I told you motherfucker hit me with a rock again. I got something for their ass. I'm with you, but we're going to have to do some fight. Nonviolent, nonviolent, nonviolent. Nonviolent.

So you're down? Righteous. That's it, right. That's it, bro. I went to the, when I was on college here, we went to this historic black restaurant in New Orleans called Duky Chase, right? Dukey Chase, yeah.

And they said this is where all that silver-right shit had. All of the kingdom met with the whole, the whole SCL. I mean, the SL, you know, yeah. Snick all of them. The Southern Leadership Conference, all that shit. They got pictures of this shit, bro. Just everybody you can think of all the entertainers, like Harry Belafonte.

Like, they sitting down eating soul food, like fried chicken, red beans and right. Gombone and shit. But they're doing it on like black, like royalty type shit. Because not only why they're doing this shit, then you got motherfuckers. Like Louis Armstrong, them perform. And he performing in the ballroom, I mean, in the dining room while people eating the shit. And he's the places that survived the riots. Yeah, then another thing we did, we went to.

He had all the access. I know it's been popping up on social media now. Damn, I hate that. I can't remember the name of the plantation, but the black lady. No, the black ladies in, right outside of New Orleans, about an hour and a half, two hours outside of New Orleans. They bought the plantation. They used to own their family. The twins, the black ladies.

The blade I see that. Yeah. So we went there and we spent the whole day up there. Really? Yeah. And they left everything like it was. It's crazy, man, to see that these motherfuckers, there's so much shit about plantations that they don't tell you, bro. Yeah.

Like, he was telling us, like, historically, most plantations had their own jail or some form of jail. Some home a chamber. Yeah, but it's like, they put the jail right in the middle. And it ain't like you locked up in a building. It's literally just like a standing outside cage like a fucking tiger cage or something. And they had, like the shit, the Django shit, they had, this shit was real. The hot boxes and shit where the motherfucker just put you in a metal hole. How'd in hell?

Where you baking until you damn near dead and, you know what I'm saying? Then they used it like the houses. And they show you the houses. And they show you the houses, like, it's amazing that this shit was able to survive as long as it did, because you, it's like motherfuckers was slaves in there one day and just walked up out there, bitch. It looked like, somebody still live here like it is. Then you think about how cold it get, right? We're in the house cold. These motherfuckers got houses with literal, like literal gaps between the walls.

like one boy and they got these ones in a row ain't no you know what I'm saying like it ain't like they had to walk somewhere to work thing of the work was right outside the door like as soon as you touch the ground

get the work you work for somebody else too man this shit was right and then they had a lake behind this shit and we look in at alligators like real live mother right there like from here the way they do is You know if somebody got wrong

You got fed to that You know you got fed to that You know you got fed to the alley You probably just got eight by them Because they could literally go under the house Yeah And this ain't This ain't a floor like this

Adventure should never come with a pause button. Remember the movie pass era, where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero cents, and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines,

like the visionary behind a movie pass, Black founder Stacey's Bikes, who was pushed out of Movie Pass, the company that he founded. His story is wild, and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt, they're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black Bounder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like.

They're not going to describe someone who. who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you. I created There Are No Girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to There Are No Girls on the Internet on the IHurt Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. That's why I say, man, I'm going to ask y'all this because I think we've got to get a better understanding of what we're going to do on this day, Juneteenth. We got to figure out how we're going to celebrate that as a unit because it's too all over the place. We got to get some type of structure. They just happen.

They ain't got to go work. That's what I'm saying. We can't just be happy. that we can't, that we get the day off because of what these people, what you just described, niggas went through too much and dealt with too much for us not to truly celebrate this holiday and let people know that this is something that we take pride in because of what all of our people went through.

Like I was asking. Let me ask you this. It's going to be amazing. Do you think people, do you think people focus too much on what black people be doing? Like, do you think black people? It's too many black people think. No, they don't be focused. They just be worried about

is you going to surpass them because they don't really give a fuck about you. And they want to see, do you hip or not? I see the fear in it, though. Right. Like this whole, I ain't going to move until we all move shit. That's coward.

Right. You know why that is. But like we were saying earlier, because we don't agree on nothing. Right. Like, when you look at the way other groups of people thrive in America, it's because they don't have

To agree about everything, they just got a list about nine or ten things that they just bottom line. We gotta do this. It's not even the fuck with what they're doing, just so they'll know we us. We're gonna do this, this, this and this. This and make, and we're gonna keep our, then this is gonna become a tradition. We're gonna keep our shit. And the crazy part about it, we gonna end up coming up with a way to hate on each other. The other, the enemy, them is gonna come up with something.

form of black code, if you know what a black code. But that can be unlearned too, though. That can be unlearned. Hold on. Let's break it down piece by piece. Come on. That can be unlearn too. You can't fall the niggas that hate niggas. You know why? Because that's how deep racism is. It's so deep that it made some of us hate us to the point where they don't want nothing to do with us. But it was talking about.

Hate was talk. But what I'm saying is, when I say black codes is, like, say for example, we ain't going to call them that because they already had them. No, I'm just saying that was the terminology for it. It was called a black code, which means we come up with laws that go against whatever you've got going on. So say, for example, if two of us finally, finally got our shit together, and we're formulating a plan, infrastructure, remobilizing. they'll figure now

I'm talking about some what can we call this getting together thing that they're doing? It's not a get together. I know, but this is how they're thinking. They're thinking we're getting together just not knowing that we're getting together

actually mobilizing and building the community. They're coming up with a call. But we need one big thing. And then it's going to be other shit that trickle down under that. Hold up. This is it. If black people

stop killing black people. And it's not, about the numbers that's just a powerful statement right because when you go to these institutions like you said they got a code of ethics and rules and regulations we don't have none of that it shouldn't matter what a nigger doing it's but it's certain don't kill some shit if you just take black out of it it's some shit that a man can do to a man that ain't no other way to handle it but you know what I mean you got to protect you got to do some

situations, you have to do that. Right. Survival of the fittest. But senseless murder and violence against your own people. We're not resulting to that just because. But I'm saying, it's got to be a standard to a point where it's like, that's just

something we don't do. You know, we don't do. What's crazy about that, I just was having a conversation. That's a mean real bit. But do you see how much shit can happen under that? Just that statement alone. I was just having a conversation with some young boys in the city when I was home. And I I said, man, it don't matter the ironic part of what y'all got going on out here.

You don't like the niggas up the street. The niggas up the street don't like y'all. The niggas down the street don't like them. But you know what? The actions that y'all participating in, you're heading somewhere where y'all going to end up being friends. You ain't going to have a choice. Because as soon as you go to the penitentiary, all of that beefing on the streets y'all did, when y'all get in that penitentiary, all that ceases.

So why wait until you go to jail to figure it out? Because you ain't going to have a choice once you go to the penitentiary. Because once you go to the penitentiary, it's where you from? If you beefing with them dudes up the street from Adamsville, you from Adamsville, they from Simpson, you, when y'all go to jail, it's George. He's going to be right in there with them. George. And it ain't going to be none of that.

So why do we have to wait until we get to that point of having to be disciplined by the powers that be before we can instill the discipline upon ourselves? Because you're going to be disciplined. Because it's consequences. for the shit that you don't do. Exactly. So that's what we got to implement. We got to implement the consequences. Well, the ultimate consequence is

you're not going to be... You're not going to be... I'm like, right. I'm like, the shoes is under the fit, cool, but the shoes, my man. Whoever he is, he's going to jail. Yeah, boy. We got that public defender, boy.

You're going to look out and he'll look away. Soon as he looked at you. You got to sign that paper? But do you think that, you know, because in order for that... that to happen, you got to take that mentality out and replace it with something else. You can't just go. You can't just go in until, hey, stop the killing because it's already been so much bloodshed

in these communities that we occupy. How do you rectify that and replace it with something else? You can't rectify that. Some of this shit ain't going to be fixed. You got to let this shit pan out. No, some states we get up, you just got to cut some shit off. Okay, it happened. moving forward

our generation of people who come in after we're not going to let it continue to happen right they got to be some form of discipline with an infrastructure among us right we don't have nothing among us everybody else have something even though it may look like they don't fuck with each other

they got some form of infrastructure where they continue to elevate because they just know they don't do them like that all right on the flip side say it don't say it don't happen right But what if every nigga that crashed out? Crashed out taking the chance of making somebody in his family life better, as opposed to just crashing out for nothing.

That's a lot of group of niggas that try. But see, that's the thing. And that's still it can be worked on. You know the mentality. We all know that mentality. We come from it. We all had one point in our lives have been in that mind state to where the ignorance was what the norm was. All right, but check it out.

So what if we had them instead of a nigger robbing? the liquor stove. We all had that one robbing the ass uncle nigger shit. Right. That robbing ass killing ass uncle. Right. But this nigger ended up getting life just because he killed some niggas at a club that stepped

on his shoe. He crashed out. Now, let's say we had this same uncle but this nigger had some sense. He went to prison for life because he stole six million dollars and set the family up. He took it, but I'm saying he took a chance that he knew

he was going to lose that. But he made sure somebody and the rest of the family was good. That's how they get rich. But they go back to tours when it comes to intentions. You dig what I'm saying? Like his intentions was right. Like I'm going to do this lit for

that. But it goes back to what we was talking about earlier. It's an influence, bro. People do what they see. People do what they're taught. So it's like... They don't teach. They don't let us learn nothing. We don't let it learn because you know what came and stepped in from the quietness? Okay, because it's a lot of things that has been substituted for the quietness that we used to have.

Social media has came in and took all that little quiet space. Remember when your parents had to come check on you because you were too quiet? That quiet space now? Social media got all that. So the attention and the influence on these children, they're not being trained. We're telling them something, but they're seeing something else. I always look at the flip side of shit. too. Because when you think about black people, we are literally hundreds of years behind

and communication. It was too many times we got split up from away from each other. Now we got this. Now we get to see a variation of us. Now we get to communicate. Now we get to connect. It's some motherfuckers who won't even know who fucking love us yet. We ain't met everybody. Everybody still ain't seen us. Everybody don't know yet. But I think that's me looking at what you're talking about with the social media. To me, it's given us too much of a window into how much we have to do, how much work is actually required. Because before we didn't know exactly how much work was required.

Some of that shit is illusion, though. I mean, it could be illusion. But I'm talking about from what we were shown up until the social world opened up in a way that it did, everybody that has ever stepped up with that message and really gain some type of traction get knocked off in some ways. You know why? And now, but I'm going to tell you what I was,

the point that I'm making, they all got knocked off. But when I look at social media and how much has opened up the scope into how much work we have to do to really get on one accord, I look at those leaders, all of the leaders that we had and I wonder if they knew the extent to which the work that was necessary

to really make a change, but they have still stepped up and took their road? No. But it ain't no such thing is change. It's just be a shift to focus. Whoever make the decisions, they're playing so far ahead of the game that we ain't even on these levels

of how this shit really even work yet. We're still learning shit every day. Everything that we're learning is shit that's being allowed to be learned. When I said they won't let us learn shit. Yeah, very much. But think about how much knowledge of simple shit that we came across once we got to a certain level.

It wasn't that people gave us nothing, but the way that the shit that they showed us, how easy it is to do shit when you on a certain level. Right. Sometimes, like, making life decisions as easy as having the right person phone number. Right. or being able to have the right conversation

at the time it's necessary. You're absolutely right. And think of how you can't learn that shit if you're stuck in a situation where you're just trying to pay your bills every month. Yeah. And the people at the top of this shit, they know if you work over here,

you've got three options that where you can live in this entire city. You can work right here. You can't go past here. This is in your price range. Unless you live with somebody, this is all you can do. They know this shit. Who the fuck got together and decided in the whole United States

what a minimum wage could be? Economists. And they don't want to raise economists. But now these motherfuckers are looking that we're in 2025, right? And people are telling these motherfuckers every day that even if you go to work, and work as many hours as your body will physically allow you to work in a week. You still won't be able to afford a two-bedroom apartment.

Yeah, because of things that they create. That shit crazy. Inflation, you know what I'm saying? All of the different things that they, that the people that make the decisions create to make your dollar worth less every day. And there's nothing you would do about it. But only to you, not them. Yeah.

You're spending the same money. Yeah. You know what I mean? You're spending the same money. But you get less for it. You get less for, exactly. But everything that you used to get for the same amount, we're going to take three items at your basket.

Yep. Now you can't afford three. Now you've got to start making life decisions on wants and needs. If you go to work every fucking day, you should have some shit that you want to. Not just the shit you need. But then they put in the implement these requirements that make you believe that,

you're going to be able to acquire what you want, like going to college. You know what I mean, people I know with degrees that are working at places that they could have got a job without a degree. But in this country,

as much money as this motherfucker generates, nigger, if you have the desire to go to college, you should be able to go. Yeah. For free. For free. If it really count.

If it really count. If it really mean, I tell people, being somebody that went to college and graduated, Come on, man. To be a fucking comedian. Come on, man.

To be a fucking comedian. No, I'm serious. Like, I remember my mama, my mama said that to me. Like, when I told her what I was going to do, she was like, boy, you were at the school for five years to tell jokes, we could have did that shit when you was in elementary. And she was joking, but that's the reality.

But the thing about it is I tell people, at least from my vantage point, college is not about the education. Because whatever job you get, they're going to train you to do that job when you get it. It's about the relationships that you build. It's about the social structure of how things work and you being able to function within that structure.

That's all college is. The relationships that you build are worth more than anything that you learn and put on a piece of paper when you're there. Because now I graduated in 2008. I don't remember shit I learned in school, but I remember the people. Graduated 2008 from college.

I graduated 2008 from college. So, Tim Graves. See what I'm saying? But I remember. Smoking weed. Like, the people that- I was 25. You know what I was gonna hang

with a Tim Gray to me? No. I wish. What's up, big gross? I wish y'all to know. I'd have been telling niggas then. Hey, one day, I'm gonna be kicking it with the last sperm left.

But, yeah, you know, it's about relationship. You know, it's about this shit, bro. Yeah. What if we really would? Like, what if we had foresight like that? Right. Like in 12th grade, hey, I got a little partner in the,

first grade that's gonna be a fucking fucking my young nigga right now in the third in the third i got a nigger in the third grade right now in Atlanta that's fucking the game up one of the most talented niggas ever born watch what i tell you that that man i wish i had that time inside y'all don't want to hear this shit but my uh my little homie chico being that nigga in the fifth grade right now right now nigga just shot a three in the gym that's That's the motherfucker cafeteria and the auditorium all in the same place. That's crazy. Go crazy.

Listen, I'm going to put this shit in perspective for you, right? Like, when I was getting some pussy on the regular, you know what? Like, if I would have known you at that point where you would have been placed, I would have came in the living room and grabbed that orange rug rack tape. God the orange one. Take me there. I want to go there. Take me there.

I want to go there. Take me to that. That's what the fuck y'all would have been doing while I was fucking on your auntie, your big sister or something. Yeah, I'm in the back. Hey, hey, hey, y. Y'all stay up here, okay?

Yeah, I want to talk to y'all niggins that. Stay in the front. Man, man. I ought to be listening. Yeah. You wouldn't have been able to keep me out. Hey, you work, big, I don't know. I know who it is.

Yeah, because we only three years apart. I'd have been hating. Like, man. Hey, man. Oh, let the flow be squeezed. Oh, boy, I'd have been, boy. And that's the thing. I always think about that.

Man, I never got to be a little brother. I always wondered what it was. Who's the older brother always? I'm not. I've always been the older brother. But see what I'm saying? I was a little brother. But you got to understand.

It's a different type of responsibility, man. Like my own. My brother's my father. He don't know what it's like to be responsible for another motherfucker. Yes, I do. I got nephew. No, you know. What you mean?

No. Trust. Let's you know. Let's you're a couple. question. My little brother, they dropped eating in I have a bunch

for real. No, no, no. Y'all are going to try me I have a summer count when I was three years old. No. I'm going to walk around in the diaper talking about

listen to look. Listen, I'm going to do that shit. Listen, I'm going to tell you something, Sam. Watch this. I'm going to tell you something. Go ahead. What happened? When you go outside

with your brother and you don't even know what this nigga is, he fuck around and fall and hurt himself. Y'all go back in the house. What the fuck What's the next question?

What the fuck happened? What you let him do out there? What you let him do out there? Listen, bro, I'm telling you something. Let me tell you something, bro. Why you wouldn't watch him? You don't think I got my ass, who? No, listen, I'm going to tell you the difference, though,

between being a big brother and not having a little brother. All right. My whole life, my mother got up at 3 o'clock in the morning to go to work. From the time I can remember, I was going to school by myself. Me and my little brother was going to school by myself. the time I was in the third grade all the way up till we graduated. When I woke up in the morning, it was my responsibility. My mother was gone.

I had to get this nigger dressed, wake this nigger up, make sure he had everything he needed. If he forgot anything, it went to school, he got in trouble. It was my fault because I should have made sure he had it. This nigger attacked me on the bus one morning, my niggum. Bro, I still got the marks on my nose. And this ain't no school bus. We're on the metro bus. Right.

with everybody. This nigger went crazy. And we, I'm trying to, I know I can't hit this nigger. Right. Because if I hit him, I'm getting fucked up. Anybody else would have attacked me like that. Man, I'd have beat the dog shit out of him. This nigger whooped me.

That's my first L for real. This nigga beat my ass, man. In front of everybody. And everybody was like, what's wrong with him? I'm like, I don't know what's wrong with this nigga fucking me up. And then I get to school. so mad, my nose bleeding, bro. I'm scratched up. I call my

mother on the phone and I say, mom, man, this nigga beat me up, this nigga attacked me on the bus. You know what she said her exact word? Well, what you do to make him do that? Damn. See, you don't know. You don't know. You don't know the type of shit of little brother get you into

my nigga, bro. Let somebody be fucking with your little brother and he come get you. You don't know who the fuck you might have to fight. I know. You might have to fight a grown-ass because as a big brother, your little brother can't go home fucked up.

No. Not a hangnail. And my little brother was bad. And my little brother was bad for stealing on people. Yeah, we had to sound like him. My brother amphidextrous, right? So when he stole on the motherfucker, he's hitting him with the right first.

Right. But he's going to crush him with the left. Right. Now we got to explain this shit. Right. I'm talking about anybody fuck with my little brother He only ain't, it's just

Fop! Now we're in a whole way with 11 cuffs Yes, Antoine Bean. My little brother hit a nigga with a bicycle with some training wheels on it. He picked it up and hit the nigga with the bike. This is our first day around there. We just moved around

there. Don't nobody know us. He hit this nigga with the bike and then run back and stand and throw the ugliest guard up in the world. I'm like Antoine, what the fuck is you doing, man? He's like, two, and then three, four niggas come out, and I'm like, oh, my God, man. Man, which one of y'all, which one of y'all is his cousin or his brother? Man, listen, man, I didn't got into so much shit.

I'm glad I'm my uncle. And my, right, my mama told me, my little brother went to every school I ever went to. I went to every school I ever went to. My mother told me if he come in here after you and he don't got privileges because you was here, a nigga, you did something wrong. My whole life, my little brother being my little brother counted for something. To this date, my brother, I got nephews, I'm a counting for. I'm the older brother.

Older to me. All my brothers are two years, I mean, four years apart. So look, my brother Larry, he big as fuck. When he's seven, my other brother, Chuck, about 11. These niggas get into a fight at the park. My nigga, the big brother. He runs out of my mom. Mom, Larry down there fight.

She's like, yo ass better go down there and help him. He's like, he's winning. My little brother fighting some niggas, my middle brother's size, but he got both of these motherfuckers locked up. They crying like a motherfucker. Man, that shit was crazy. I'm telling you, bro, bitch. I always wonder what it would be like to have a big brother.

Because I never had nobody I could get. What about a big brother that's on dope, nigga? You want a big brother that bad? Take him. You want a brother? Here he goes. Come with crap. I ain't know, right?

It might have been fun, now that I think about it. You know what I might take a dope feed, big brother. All you know, I might take a dope feed, big brother, tell that nigga starts stealing from.

I was just talking about, man, growing up in the 90s, like, that might have been the greatest decade in the nigger history, the 90s, as far as all of the stuff. Human history. Human history. But definitely, nigger hit.

That was a confusing time. Y'all was coherent, too, around that time. I mean, yeah, you were born in the 92. I was born in the 90s. So, I mean, I was a little boy in the 90s. We was little boys in the 90s, but Lowe's was a couple years older. He was like 30. No, he wasn't that old.

What fucking miss? Man, man, I missed y'all, Nick. Man, you know I did the play, man. I know. And that was, that was, that was, that was time-suming in regards to just, you know, how much goes into it. You know, we do what we do. And I think it made me appreciate the talents that we have

and how we make things look so seamless and make it looks like it's just so effortless because most people got to practice, man. Yeah, a lot. And, you know what I mean? Coming from an environment where we don't ever practice, we can just show up and do whatever we do. We're going to practice this year.

Having a, having to... We're talking about practice. Yeah, having to adjust to a different format and going to practice during the week and having to, you know, because I knew my lines before we even started, but having to adjust to make everybody else fit into a structured type of, you know, setting is different, but I learned so much, man. And you're singing, dancing, man. How are you doing your career brown?

Yeah, you see me. You were the impression, you know, I bet I, but I... But that was the fun part, man. You know, getting a tap man. You know, you always have been inspirational in regards to seeing all the things you've been able to do with your acting and how versatile you have been. And just being able to, what I learned and doing it is you can think you know how to do something. But you don't know you know how to do it until you do it.

You got to do it. And being able to show people what it looks like to see you in another light is beautiful, man. Because people who knew me saw me and was like, oh, man, I never knew that you could do this. You know what I'm saying? So that was the funnest part, but it was a time consumer. But I got to work with, you know, Cole. I can't stop calling you cold, Slim. You're cold for hell of us, I can't.

It's too iconic, man. He hates it. Yeah, but now he don't hate it. It's just, you know what it is. Jill Marie Jones. Cockney. Demetriamette McKinney, Flex Alexander. You know what I mean?

Claudia Jordan, who is one of my favorite people. That, man, that's she's so funny, Snell. I told you. That Lowe's told me how funny she was, man. But she, you know, and it was dope, man. It was a dope production. and, you know what I mean? I'm glad that I got to do it

because I learned so much and it expanded my talents as an entertainer and what I'm able to do across the board. I learned that so much, Fly, I learned it. It's a hundred ways to say one word. It's a hundred different emotions you can give.

That's one of the exercises we did it. Say what? Ten different ways. You know what I'm saying? And just that, having to tap into that and show that different type of range or just pulling different type of emotions out. And, man, I learned so much.

just the ends and out of acting because Carl, Carl, Anthony Payne. I'm gonna say your real name, Slimson, you don't get mad at me. But Carl is a genius when they come to it, because he's a veteran. He taught me so much. Flex taught me so much. You know, just in regards to them being people that we grew up watching, I looked at so much of the game that they gave me and was able to implement it into what we do

and what we got going on. Well, that's something on stage. You gotta start singing in it. I mean, we already, that's what I'm saying. We already see. You're going to do this. I mean, yeah, without question. But you think about it, we didn't already been putting,

you think about wild and not what we did on that show and how much work we put in in regards to creating something from nothing. It seemed like it was so long ago. I know, right? But in this, in an acting setting, especially in theater, it's the same concept, but it's scripted. So it gives you a crush that we never really got to utilize because there is no script.

So that allowed me to be able to do something that I never got to do before and still rely on the words that were written but take those words and make of my own. Check this out, bro. While and out, it's the NBA. It's the big three. Yeah.

Yeah, that's, yeah. That's, that was, that was. Like, we still could play. Yeah. But you know how they began to leave. Who's about to say fly? No, with that, with that time on stage, that something happened, and when you got off stage,

you didn't know that you, you know that you, You knew you didn't know that that was going to happen or that was going to bring something out of it. So many times, Mother's Day. Mother's Day, we had a show in St. Louis. And, you know, I went through a real vicious bout of depression this year with my mother. For some reason, I don't know why.

It just was real, real tough for me. So I was good before we got to the venue. But when I walked in the venue, it just was, you know what I mean? It was crazy. And me and Flex was sharing a dressing room. And when I came in, you know what I mean, I just lost it. And he closed the door. came and gave me a hug, and then afterwards, I was like, man, this, I'm in here getting

consoled by Michael Jackson. Man, that's good. This nigga, this nigga, Michael Jackson is in here. This nigga Flex Alexander is in here consoling me one-on-one, nigga, you know what I'm saying? One-on-one. But when we did the play, when we actually got to work, and it's a scene that we did where me and Carl were brothers in the play, and it's a scene that we had, man, mind you,

we had delivered the whole time, but this particular is. the day when we were talking about our mother abandoning us, it's just something that just hit me and we went somewhere completely different. And even he acknowledged it on stage, he was like, yeah, there it is. But he was in the scene, but it was like, man, that's what you just did is exactly what I know

that you're capable of doing. And I didn't do it on purpose. It was just, I was thinking about my mama and that shit pulled came right out of me, bro. And it was one of the most powerful things that we did the whole run of the tour. So it was dope, man. I learned a lot.

But it made me have a different appreciation. for not just acting, but theater. Theater is different. Theater is different. See, that's what I'm saying. See, that's why I say. I come from theater first. So theater makes you have to listen, bro.

It makes you be dependent on somebody else that's on stage. And it makes you say, all right, if nothing is going on, then take over. Yep. You feel me? Because now there's a space for you to create. Mm-hmm. In the moment. In the moment.

Now it's in the moment. Whatever that moment is, do that. Because if not, it's going to be a dead, solid space. See, that's the thing that took while and up to another level, though. You remember when we first got there, and it's like, they used to cut the mics all. You know what's something like that. Right, right.

It wasn't on mic. You couldn't talk on that mic at first. Yeah. But you see the difference in when the mics stay on with that crowd and when they cut them on. That shit, that's take the show. they take the energy in the whole room up, right? Because it just opened the platform up more.

And then when somebody, you see how happy motherfuckers, like the outside of the regulars who talk shit doing the break, like when somebody who don't really do a lot of the crowd inaction shit, where they can just get one off. Mm-hmm. It makes it feel like I'm appreciate, you heard me.

Yeah. You heard that. Man, you just missed me. You miss it. I said, they went crazy. You let me, they let me talk. And it gets your confidence up. up because you know what I mean the ones that do it you feel like oh shit because you know we was

once the mic stayed on that was the reason why they stayed on is because we would talk so much shit yeah just and just fuck around and just fuck your joke niggas yeah it don't matter like and that was the part that that I learned in regards to what I already possessed in in that space because that was a new space for me I had did plays before but you know in high school and I did one in Greensboro years ago but this was a major production and these were you know professional actors that have been doing this forever

so I came in with a rookie mentality but once I got the understanding of what the structural way that they wanted it done was then it made me open up and say oh my God I get to be me in 10 different ways in a brand new environment because everything is different you know we got comedy yeah that's straight

that's straight just laughter you know you can take them where you want to go do you got acting there's no crap then you got it theater. Yeah. You can be acting and also feel the emotion. Oh, without question. Because they're going to let you know. Without question. When you feel that emotion, what does she take you? Oh, my God. Everywhere, man. Like, and it's so crazy to see the reaction of people that know you for whatever it is that you do that see you, man. Like, you know, my man drank that travel with me all the time. When the play was over, man, this name came up to me and started crying. Just because

he was like I ain't never like to see you go through so many different emotions and to see you be somebody that I know as a totally different best two totally different people he was like bro it just made me have a different respect for it but I didn't know that I was evoking those type of emotions out of people because I'm just doing what it is that I'm you know supposed to do but like it was a couple of scenes with me and Carl were going back and forth about you know because the play was called games women play and it was basically a about that, you know what I mean? To give you a synopsis of the play, Carl and Jill were in a relationship, and I'm his little brother, and I kind of saw that she wasn't the right one. And his assistant, who was Dimitra, was a part of the whole structure and everything. But there were so many scenes where we were going back

and forth as men that caused us to have real interaction. Like, you know what I mean? You know how I go when you're talking to your brother. Like we had a couple of times where it turned into us really being brothers going at it. And it was natural. Like, I felt the fact that he was like, oh, nigger, who you talk, nigga? And it just went like that, but we stayed in the scene.

So that's what I learned how to do, how to do that. Like, that was all different shit that I learned from him, how to be some, to stay in the scene, but still take it 10 different places at one time. But that shit is amazing, man. You got to stay on the script. You got to stay on the script. But you can take it all along as you come back to this. As long as you come back to this, right, right, right.

And then you're not just thinking about yourself because flex on the, couch waiting to hear his line. He got a line. He waiting to hear his cue, so he can come in on his line. So you got to take it back to what, to throw him. But then if you do it the right way, he would be able to come in and keep elevating and the crowd is going to react to it. And it makes it so, man, that just makes it so excited for what we'll be able to do in a movie, bro. Like, like, it just opened my mind up. And me and Los was having conversations throughout the time because he was shooting a movie at the same time I was doing the play. And we were having so much dialogue like he talked to me about when he had to do a crying scene and how he just blew everybody

away with the fact that you could tap into them you cried me you cried yeah fuck them up see what i'm saying like we already got the so much that we haven't need that's the one thing that we haven't even tapped into we make movies every time we're on stage right like you can run that shit but if we actually sat down and scripted it and the way that's why i'm so because it's like, that wasn't the first time that I had to do some shit like that. Not a shit with that, it was like, that was about to be some big shit.

And then some shit happened. It was, like, it's been a few times where it was like, this, you know how this should be like some big shit. It'll be, you'll be working on it and everything, and then the shit just go away. But the next couple action projects, it's gonna shock the hell out of people that I got coming. This was like 2016, I had to cry, but it didn't work.

Why not? This is my favorite. Just my favorite. I'm like, I ain't gonna like that. I ain't really witnessed. I ain't, I'm trying about to know what to eat crap, man. Oh, old lady, got no one to go with his man. He said, my man.

He said, my, huh? my face, yeah. Hey, bro. I was like, if you need somebody drowned, then maybe I can do that. Yeah. It's looking like he was looking up at the sun. It's looking like a vampire time.

Yeah, boy, I can't cry. I don't know where that shit gonna come from. Man. I can't wait for this shit to start coming out. Yeah, man. You know what I'm saying? All kind of shit, man. It was fun, man.

You know, I learned so much. I know how to cry now. I mean, I learned so much, man, but it was a different, you know, it was a different process. The traveling was different. The way you got to move is different. Yeah. The way everything is different. Yeah, it becomes.

And that's a real play. Like, how many times y'all performed a week? Three. Three, three, I mean, a day. Like, so sometimes, three shows in a day. That's the most we did. I had to do that movie shit and be on tour at the same damn time. Yeah, me too.

So, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Same. Like, but that's what I mean. It just showed you how to work so much muscle. but it definitely was time-consuming and it brings out, you got to have a level of patience with it too

because I've seen a couple of- It's a whole different gear. The actor crash house is different. When a nigger come out and do that, look at it, motherfucker. And it'd be so serious. It's like, but that ain't even them.

You can't follow it. Like I said, you don't know where to get to that place you can't come out of. So a lot of the times it ain't just them snapping because they'd be, really taking that shit there.

Some of this shit is really extreme. These people really have to live this shit. Yeah. Not for like a week or a month or a couple months. This shit, they moved to be two years into making this shit. And then they got to come and switch that shit. So it makes sense to isolate and stay away from your normal routines and shit. Because you've got to, it's hard to get back in that place.

Adventure should never come with a pause button. Remember the movie pass era? Where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero cents and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd. Host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, Like the visionary behind a movie pass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of movie pass, the company that he founded.

His story is wild, and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt, they're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder. close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you. I created There Are No Girls on the Internet

because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to There Are No Girls on the Internet on the IHurt Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And then another thing that I noticed is like the things that we are able to just make do with it. I give you a perfect example. I'll give you a perfect example. You remember that show we had and the mics broke

and we had to stand in the DJ booth? Man. You know what I mean? And how we had to stand in the DJ booth and use a DJ mic? The same scenario in a play, when the mics mess up, it fucks up everything. Fucks up the floor of the scene.

And when I'm talking about the most frustrated, I would see cast members get is when their mics wouldn't work. Fuck up on the line or some shit. I mean, because it causes you and when the mic come back on, so much was missed within the scene that they didn't hear that it's hard for you to get

people back into the structure of what the scene is. So then mics being fucked up, the sound being fucked up like that was such a big issue for especially because we had to sing and we had the cues for the band and all that shit is it just made it appreciate

how we operate to where we can just, no matter what happened. One of us is we're going to figure it out. My mics stay going on. Yeah, exactly. We're going to figure out. You know what I'm saying? A hundred mic. Right, but we gonna figure it out. It made me have an appreciation.

I would definitely break a bike. For so many different ways. It's like breaking the guitar. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, it's so much dead there. They get crazy. They're like, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it. That's what you're hearing of his mind.

That's what he hears in his mind. Nobody ever says that. If he could use that same motivation to cry, this nigga that had an Oscar by now. Listen, I don't cry. That was my first time. I went back and learned. I got learned, bro. I got learned, bro.

Look, it's method. It's a method. Everybody different. It's a, it's a, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's going on. Why. You feel me? Yeah. Once you become him, then you will realize there's something in you that was him because you don't

really want to do nothing that you don't, you don't feel comfortable doing it. Or, oh, boy, oh, it's so far away from you that is from who you are is easy and shit to do. I want to just say the easiest shit to do. It's more so saying, like, we have similar trauma, put it like that. Or I got, I feel your pain like empathy. You know what I saying? Like talking to a nigga like, damn, my nigga. Because I went through something too, nigga. I feel. That's why it's easy for me to play like bad characters. Like the evil motherfuckers. Yeah, like I can't. Because it's so different from me. It's like, it's like, I know how to deliver this shit

because in a way that I wouldn't I'm gonna deliver this shit for the reason why I don't like them now you can like get under people's skin that's how you know you being a good villain where motherfuckers really don't like you like they can feel that you on the wrong you're on the other side

now it's believable you gotta have a like a big villain is even more important than having a good hero yeah good hero like I want you to hate me I don't want just be like Oh, well, you play that good.

Nah, nigga, I really don't want you to like me, niggins. Kind of like to reek from power. Right. You know what I'm saying? He's ledger to get that whole constant. He went crazy. Got people that really don't like you. When that nigga told Batman pretty much like you don't want to kill me

because then you ain't really got nothing to fight. Yeah. Without me, what you give you your purpose. That's why you are who you are because movie is saying kind of fucked up. You just think the fucked up shit you do. And they like it doesn't mean that you ain't just as fucked up as me. Yeah. We need each other.

It's a codependent relationship. If you kill me, they're going to kill you because they don't need you no more. And then now's going to be over with it. Yeah, so you just as fucked as I am. That's why he was laughing while he was beating his ass. Yeah, cops and robbers, man. You know what I'm saying?

But I know for me, like tapping into emotions, that's what I learned how to do because, you know, we're so good at having to push through everything. Especially us specifically. Like, we didn't been through so much. much shit that the world would crumble or you know what I mean if somebody had to walk and step in them shoes the shit we deal with on a day-to-day basis we just learn how to and then when you tap into these characters it's like man I got a bank of emotions that I didn't suppress

that I can tap into to you and it's a way to release it and it's a way to let it out and it's and you can utilize it to be like I didn't go through this for nothing even though you don't necessarily want to suppress anything you want to deal with your traumas and whatever way you can but when you get into acting and get into doing these characters. It's like, this wasn't in vain. Now I get to utilize this pain to be able to you kind of like put it on the character. Yeah, to put it on the character to be able to push this shit out in the way to where my pain has brought people in my life in a way. It wasn't through me, but I still was able to use it. You ain't got to stop it because the character is not

supposed to stop. Exactly. Exactly. So it's like you will one day will get a chance to release it. So when you become this character, it's like I, now I can actually release it. Because even when you practicing, you're like, you don't think that you're going, you're like, I know I'm going to get into a certain mind frame, but you're like, I don't know when it's going to happen. Right. If I tap into it, it's going to happen, but I don't know when. It's all depending on the scene and how we set up. Yeah.

Because it's all, it depends on who you're in there acting with, too. Because if he didn't give me you no feeling or she didn't give me you no feeling, you can't, you can't get in it. You can't get in it. But see, that's the thing about when you do a full project, too, because you have to, you don't just get to do one all the time. It's a range of emotions because sometimes you responsible for different feelings in different scenes

Like sometimes you are the odd person that what the fucked up opinion or the person who had to say the asshole shit Or the person of logic The person who got to say some shit that everybody don't want to hear But that don't necessarily mean

Like you're an asshole Right You got to be the one Because some scenes You're the one who got to deliver The empathy or the compassion Or you're the motherfucker Who got to bring the story to it's like

Yeah, that's the shit. And then having to go from one to the other, like the progression, then having to go back to some shit that you ain't had to do since the first day. Yeah. You know, you get what I'm saying? Why acting to take you all over? Y'all think y'all could have played a radio? Hell yeah.

Yeah, now, before I did the play, I would have told you no. And the reason why I say that is because I did that type of work. And that's what I mean about learning how to tap into. They said that man was fucking on like three months after that scene. Oh, no, yeah. You're going to be fucked up, but that's the thing. Like, it's certain characters. You never stop being right here.

Yeah, he's still right. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Yeah. Get that baby out of that club. That nigga been tripping. But some rows do, like I said, sometimes motherfuckers be born for that role. Yeah. It's hard.

Can't nobody do it. He killed that role. Jamie Fox. Jamie Fox was born to play Rachel. For show. You can tell, like, just the way he delivered. Dustin Hoffman and Rayman. Rayman.

I saw Ray Charles. Right. I saw Ray Charles. Yeah, that was Ray Charles. The most believable shit, don't you? Hey, man, so, so, so you're going to try to tell me, man, I don't know what they're going on. You know what I mean? Denzel is Malcolm Mack.

Like, Denzel is Lundzo. Denzel as. How did that he go on, what? Denzel is Malcolm Max. Get out of here. I'm in a bathroom. Yeah. The most believable shit.

Malcolm Max, like, it's probably kids. that would see Malcolm X and not know that that wasn't Malcolm X the way he played Malcolm X. Which one? Denzel. Denzel Washington is Malcolm X. That's probably one of the greatest moves ever made. Like, just because of his ability,

nigger, don't you ever say a word again? Like, just being able to go from that, go from Detroit Red. You know that moving three hours long? Yeah, go from Detroit Red to being Malcolm. Like, the way, my favorite part of Malcolm X, like, especially after getting into acting and getting his indebted.

and tour as I did with this project I just did, when they was about to shoot him and he looked down and smiled, you know how hard that is to probably have done with all of the emotions of the fact that you playing somebody and you are watching how this person that is so monumental in our people's history, how they got killed by us, and you gotta look down and smile at him before.

Get your hand out of my pocket. And he was, hey, brother, brother, hey, calm down. And that's what they said, Malcolm. did. They said when they came up and their motherfuckold raised that shotgun up at Malcolm, he looked down and just smiled. And that's crazy. Man, it's a longer version of that movie. They had to take out a lot of shit.

I want to see the Spike Lee. I'm gonna say Spike Lee don't get enough credit, man. I want to see the 10 hour version. Come on, man. Can we, can we get Spali? Yeah, that gets credit. Yeah, that's how he was, boy. You got that, that's that movie.

Like, and he was doing that. I told, I told him, I told him to give me my pills. Yeah, the way he did it, you have to do it like that. I don't want that move, dude, but he gave you a blueprint of what he was like, you would have never known that shit. I would have never, listen, him and him, um, um, uh, R&P, uh, Chadwick. Chadwick Bowman, man, he played, uh, Jackie Robinson, Jackie Robinson and, um, James Brown. Jane Brown were good, boy, Jane Brown was so good.

James Brown was so good. Jay Brown was one of me, yo. I would like, Now I didn't make a watch everything. It made me go back and watch my favorite. You gotta see Don Cheeto is Miles Davis. Yeah, he did a hell of a job. But like I- Don Cheeto, my nigga. I love Don Cheeto, but it made me go back

doing this acting and going in depth as I did, made me go back and watch my favorite characters from movie. Like, my favorite movie character of all time is Ordeo Roby. Samuel Jackson is Orde Oroby and Jackie Brown. Like, when I watched that movie, the way that that nigga turned into the order,

he Ordell Roby to me. me for over everything. He didn't have it over Gator, everybody. Because it's just, it's a scene with him and Robert De Niro was sitting on the couch and he explaining the guns to him. And the way he do it is so smooth. He's like, this, that's a tech nine, a little cheap-ass spray gun out of South Miami. You know what I mean? They market this tech nine is the most popular gun in American crime. They say that in a little booklet that come with it. Like, they're proud of that shit. The most popular gun in American crime. And another gun come up. I was like, I said, it's a styre all. Staya all was bad.

motherfucker. He said, but you know what I mean, there ain't no demand for it so my customers don't know nothing about it. But I tell you what, you put this bad boy in the flick, every nigga out there won one. When them Hong Kong flicks came out, every nigga in the world had to have a 45. And they ain't just want one. They want two, because all them niggas want to be the killer. But see, what my customers don't know is 45 got a serious fucking jamming problem. I try to steer them niggas towards 9mm because it's a way better gun. But you know them the killer had a 45 they want a 45 and at the end that nigga said up up up there it is 8k 47 the very best they is when you absolutely positively got to kill every motherfucker in the room except no substitutes and it's just like

the way that nigga explained in pistols and at the time i seen this movie that's all that was going on in my neighborhood what movie is it or jacky brown jacky brown like the nigga the way the nigger finesse Chris, that's my, Chris Tucker's acting in that movie. The way he finessed Chris Tucker to get into the trunk of the car is so cold, man. That nigga finessed Chris Tucker to get into the trunk of a car. I thought I saw all Chris Tucker movie. Nah, that nigga Chris Tucker, man.

That was a motherfucker. It was just a little small rule. It's a little small role, but it's such a bit such a dope road. That nigga made that nigger get in the trunk of the car. That motherfucker is like two niggas talking. That's the thing that made the road so great to me because it's like, you think you understand. Ain't no way they wrote this. They couldn't have wrote it, though.

That nigga got it. And what's the name of the movie? Jackie Brown. The nigger standing in front of the trunk of the car, right? And he's trying to, he was like, he's finesse him. He's going to kill him. Right. But he got to get him in the trunk to kill him.

So he's telling him this whole story. He's like, like, you remember them three machine guns? I bought out of the two I had last year. He said, well, I'm going to sell the other one at nights of these little Koreans over in Korea town, got this little neighborhood watch thing they got going on now. You know what I mean? By and large, Koreans are very reliable. You know, you ain't got to worry about them shooting in the back,

but you're going to argue with them about price. but I ain't ever did business with these Koreans before. And that's why I need you for backup. You always got to have backup. Now, he opened the trunk and said, look, all I need you do is laying this motherfucker. Hold this shotgun. I'm going to show him the product.

When they pop open, you jump out. Rack this motherfucker. And Chris Tucker was like, man, I ain't get no motherfucking truck. He was like, man, we ain't going to wear the Korea town. You ain't going to be in there no more than 10 minutes. He said, I ain't going to be in that motherfucker. No minutes. That nigg said, that nigger looked at him and said,

I can't believe you do me like this. He said, do you like what? man, I want to help you. I just don't want to get in the trunk of no car. He said, you think I wanted to spend $10,000 to get your bitch ass out of jail? No, but that's what I had to do to help you, so that's what I did. This is how he getting him. He said, look, look, look. After we finish fucking with these Koreans, how about we go to Roscoe's chicken and waffles on me? That sound good. It's gold special.

Smother than gravy in onions. Collard green, cornbread. That's some good eating. The nigg was like, Now, how long I got to be in this motherfucker fucking? I got in the trunk, turned on strawberry letter 23, rolled around the corner. the trunk, shot the nigga two times in the head. Yeah. Never see the nigga in the movie again.

Over with. The nigga was in the movie, all the three minutes. Three minutes, my nigga. That's it. Killed this shit, though. And that's the thing about, like, characters. That she used to come on stars so much. They called Jane Brown? Jackie Brown. Jackie Brown.

Fry my shit, elbow, and I so much I can't eat now. So, like, I'm... Because you're blood type? Yeah, because it's blood pressure and the blood. You know, I'd have changed all that shit up, so I still can have the turkey. Yeah, that old 93 pounds. Yeah, I mean, I eat the turkey. No, hell, nah, niggins.

I'm gonna say, no, that was all of your back. Yeah, and my loss 93 pounds, that'd be... Oh, Daddy, you'll be a priest of moan. You'll be a priest of moan. That'd been, bitch like this. How much do you ain't? Mm. 157?

157. 157 was 190... 157? 194 in January when I went to the doctor, the doctor came in and told me what... It said, way that nigga believed that you lost 98. Yeah, because he always just talked about how big my back was, it was like, yeah, I know, that's what I'm, that's what they told me, my BMI, I did this body scan and all that, but what changed it was the blood pressure. I went in, I had to go to the doctor before I went to Africa. So I went in December, they told me my blood pressure was like, whatever it was. And I was just like, I don't get, all right, whatever. I went back to the doctor. And then the black doctor came in, like, that second police officer, when you know you go into jail, like, he came in. like everybody leave, I got to talk to my brother. And, you know, he basically was like, man,

look, man, I'm a fan of you and all that, but I don't think they did a good enough job of explaining to you how serious this is for us as black men. He said, man, this kills more of us than anything. And he said, man, we take it for granted. You keep doing all of these different things that can easily be changed.

And discipline is the problem with us. We don't have no discipline. And the discipline of which you put in your body is one of the first things that you should learn how to get together. And I'm just, I'm listening to him. I'm like, yeah, he was like, man, but did they tell you the effects, the high blood pressure, the real effects? I'm like, no, what are the main effects?

He's like, the first one is a rectile dysfunction. I was like, what I got to change? What I got to change. I won't even eat food no more, Doc. Whatever I got to change. You don't even got to tell me no more. If that's the first one, that's enough. Like, what I got to change?

But he told me just about, you know, the pre-diabetic, I was dead, and it just was bad. And when I thought about it, I was like, man, I didn't been disciplined enough to do all of these things. but I'm about to lose. I can potentially go out over some shit I can control over what I'm eating. Fuck that. So I had to change it. And then the exit,

it was hard, though, man, like detoxing off all that sugar and all that bullshit we eat in the middle of the night, you know what I'm saying? Like, because our job don't start till 7.30. You know what I mean?

We ain't finished work until right now. It's fucking 12.30 right now. We're still working. So if a nigga go get something to eat, ain't nothing but bullshit. So you got to discipline yourself to stop. Crazy part about it. We don't eat.

And we're going to eat it, because you know what it is what it is. But, you know, I'm... 157, though? 157, bro. Like 144 soaking wet. Damn, damn. But you see... I eat, though.

I'm like 1.48, though. Oh, last burn. No, you can't get no. I don't get... He's different from 144. I just sat beside this man and watched him eat chicken and rice and macaroni and cheese, then get a plate of obstacles and rice and cabbage and eat through all of it. and still built the same.

If I was to eat some chicken and some oxtails right now, I'm going to urgent care. My nose is going to stop bleeding. I'm going to pee on myself a little bit, and I'm going to urgent care. But see, that's all he eats. This nigga won't eat nothing else. But see, I got low body fat, high metabolism.

Yeah. Yeah, I think I ain't's weight, but soon as I boo-boo. My weight just went in the toilet, my butt. Those little four pounds went down the drain. I had to, man. I can't, you know, I had to cut the hardest thing for me to shake was bread, though. Like, that bread was hard. What, man, man, I'm talking about I'd be riding past Texas Roadhouse playing.

End of the road, my nigga. I'm talking about what nothing like sitting in there, that basket of rolls. And that cinnamon butter listening to God damn, you got to know when to hold them. Can't eat again. Can't do it. Can't do it. You know what I can't eat cat food. Fuck around and be walking around with one Jordan on it ain't worth it.

It ain't worth it. It ain't worth it. You know what I'm saying? Gotta stay healthy. Gotta stay healthy. Health is really wealth, man. Because as we get older, it's like, what's the point if you're not around to enjoy your life? And then it's just all about what you're putting in your body.

And that high blood pressure, I suggest that all black men go get your blood pressure check. Learn your blood type, get your blood pressure check, man, because you'll never know. You get them aneurysms, you get them heart attacks, you get them strokes. Right. All of that comes from you just not knowing. And dehydration. And dehydration. And dehydration.

And drinks of water, man. All that comes from. Oh, that's good for you. You are a living cell, nigga. Yeah, get yourself together, man. Get yourself together. Because if I can shake it with what I do and how our lifestyle work.

And it wasn't easy. It's going to be difficult. But you got to discipline yourself because you don't want to go away from here because a chicken wings, nigga. You know what I'm saying? Man, the biggest flex is to be 90 and your ditch still work? Yeah.

What the fuck you're going to use it? 90? Hey, trust me, if you work hard enough... You don't hear like it's the end of the road? Yeah, right. You didn't hear what I just said? 90 and still work. You work hard enough.

You'll be able to use it as much as you want. Like, Papa, Papa wants some pussy. Yeah. Yeah. Look at that motherfucker. It's going to take a little minute, but it'll get up. Come catch the last sperm left. It gets down.

Yeah, come catch the last sperm left. Oh, look at it. no man you that's too old to be fucking 90 if they'll take your license they definitely just to spin your fucking privilege no they ain't gonna take your license if you good if you still can drive they don't yeah you 90 years old who you gonna be fucking ain't no it ain't no bunch of 90 year olds to be fucking who for 90 year olds don't don't fuck 90 year olds that's the thing I see 90 old that's the thing I seen a man nasty you gotta be the fucking 90 year old yeah but listen I saw a meme that that

Ladies, if your daughters ask you why they should study, show them this picture. Because you got this old man who with this model chick, because he can afford it, and she need the money. Yeah.
