The Breakfast Club - Selective Ignorance: Misogony Economy, Book Bans & Jingles

Episode Date: February 1, 2026

The Black Effect Presents...Selective Ignorance! In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and Jason “Jah” Lee for a wide-ranging, culture-forward conversation that blends humor, critique, and social commentary. The episode opens with reflections on a recent winter storm and the collective panic it caused, including questionable food preparation decisions and general storm-time ignorance [00:00–05:05]. From there, the discussion pivots into the evolving creator economy, unpacking what true ownership looks like through the lens of Kevin Hart’s licensing deal and Kavi Lamay’s groundbreaking AI digital twin, raising the question of whether everyone — and everything — is ultimately for sale [26:32]. The energy shifts as the crew dives into the lucrative and often-overlooked power of advertising jingles, sparked by a viral Dr. Pepper jingle that earned its creator a major payout, leading into a hilarious, improvised jingle-creation challenge that showcases the hosts’ chemistry and creativity [41:11–42:41], while also examining the fine line between catchy marketing and provocative advertising [47:22]. Balancing the fun with heavier topics, the conversation turns toward literacy and media access in prisons and why storytelling and education still matter behind bars [52:44], followed by a nuanced breakdown of Kanye West’s recent apology and how public perception, accountability, and redemption play out in real time [58:03]. The episode closes with a candid discussion on relationship dynamics, centered around Cam’ron and his ex, exploring communication, ego, and emotional maturity in modern relationships [01:11:39]. Altogether, the episode captures Selective Ignorance at its best — blending sharp humor, cultural critique, and thoughtful dialogue about ownership, media, and accountability in today’s attention economy.  No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!

Welcome to another episode of Selective Ignorance with you girl, Mandy B. And baby, we are getting into all the things from this week end where damn near the entire country was either iced out, literally, or snowed out, snowed in, all the things. We're going to get into how we had our ignorant thoughts in moments during the ice storm here in the South. And we're getting into the panicking, the over-preparing, the under-preparing, and the new

scam that I found out here in Atlanta that's taken place. And I want to alert you and the rest of the country. Then up first, and this is America. Is everyone for sale? We're talking IP ownership in the creator economy after Kevin Hart licensed his entire name. Damn. And then TikToker, Kabi Lameh. sold his brand for almost 900 million.

And then some random woman on TikTok who sung about Dr. Pepper got $2 million from that company. Dr. Pepper, baby, is good and nice. So we're talking all of those things, as well as y'all know last week I touched on Kai Sanat, reading on stream. Well, we're going to get into a law that was just passed that is now banning books and magazines from prison

and kind of what that means, who it impacts, and why literacy feels kind of controversial already in 2026. Then in Celebrities Say the Darnest Things, y'all, it's loaded. We're talking Kanye Apology. Cam Ran kind of embarrassing his ex talking about assets and liabilities. And then Gervante Davis gets stripped of his title. Do it to his own actions, okay? We're getting into all of the things, but not before I introduce my team.

I am joined. Join by my super producer. We got, you know, we got journalism Jason signed in from Jersey over there. You know what I mean? Trying to stay warm. You say what now? I said trying to stay warm over here. We're, we apparently are really in global warming because, baby, we are also trying to stay warm here.

Currently we are recording this. The day y'all are probably listening to this episode, it is 24. degrees in Atlanta, Georgia. What the hell is that? Now, we also got podcast OG A King with the Yurt. You brought all the New York weather here is what you did.

Atlanta York, what up? Atlanta York. That is what we're calling it. I love seeing Atleons wearing timblins and snorkels and bumble-coated I don't want to hear no New York man, you're New York, niggie, me.

Welcome. I ain't even going to hold you. I didn't know motherfuckers in Georgia own Timberlin. They're lit. They are dressing like some Yankees, if I ever seen one. I'm like, yo, where are you from? Where you from?

Not twin, not twin, not twin, not twin, not twin. Not twin, not twin. Not twin. Not the lingo with the accent. Listen, not twin. By the way, you cannot see her, but we have a woman who joined the cast here. We got Yomi over there on the ones and twos.

And then, of course, I'm joined by my journalism, Jason, aka. John, aka the real Jason Lee, aka the headline king. Huh, pod blessing all the yap niggas. Period. Oh, I like that. See what I mean? You can be quick with it. Pod blessing all the yab niggas.

I like that. No, no, no, no, no. So excited. We are recording this on Tuesday, the day the episode is dropping because we have all been kind of snowed in but scared to like make plans to have y'all niggas drive because y'all actually don't live in Atlanta proper. Y'all kind of are on the outskirts. Like Atlanta is not the address on your mail.

It's something else, right? Yeah, my address, my mail goes to Dunwoody, Georgia. It's a good old suburbs. Y'all is some suburbians. What about you where they, King? Oh, you said, y'all can't even see the face. He said, these niggas not knowing my address out here. They're not knowing the Eddie.

I'm by Stato. He's trying to do. from taxes. You know what I mean? Wait, wait, are you, let me not ask you how you... I am, I appreciate amendment, the Second Amendment of Constitution, but soon I'll be able to participate. Fair enough.

Not soon I'll be able to participate. Well, yeah, I guess let's get right into this ice storm that impacted everyone's weekend. Man. That had us bunkered in, that had us scared. I have, okay, let me just go ahead and leave it. I'm going to start with my ignorance real quick, okay? First of, what I realized, and y'all have heard me talk about it before, right? I'm not going to fight the zombies, but apparently what's going to do me before the zombies

is the global warming and climate change that impacts us because although we were given at least a week of preparation, Yeah, it got to Sunday. No, yeah, it was Sunday. And I realized all I bought was charcutory board item. So I had hummus, tziki, fruit, and cheesy. And then my home girl, shout out to her. She brought me to prosciutto. You know what I mean?

Can't have it without the pork, without the swine. You all over there with all salt and fat. Baby. So I realized that I am like, Mind you, I grew up in Florida. Right. So we used to have to prepare for hurricanes. Yeah.

But I realized my mama prepared us because she had to worry about us as kids. When you are kidless and all you got to do is worry about yourself, you're like, eh, I'll make it. I'll be just fine. I figured it out. Literally my mom was calling me telling me, get out of there. I said, bitch, you is a hurricane chaser as a white woman, okay? You be ready to sit outside with your cigarette pack and a Bacardi and Coke.

watching the storm go by. And you want me to get out of here? I said, girl, I lived in New York. I'm good. And then she was like, no, I heard power was going to go out. I said, I got coats. I got blanket. But I realized I didn't prepare myself really for food.

So here we go where we get into the ignorance of it all, right? So I look outside. It ain't looked that icy. It wasn't really snowing. So we started calling restaurants. You open? Oh, man. You open.

You open. Now, my home girl has a Tesla. Oh, man. That's not like the wrong vehicle to have. Which I didn't want to hold you. I was scared for the Tesla to go on the road. Mind you, the thing froze. She had to preheat her car with an app in order to even get into it.

She couldn't open the handle. The truck wouldn't open. Did she know that? Upon purchasing the vehicle? Of course she didn't know it. She didn't know a lot of shit about the goddamn Tesla, okay? So Elon Musk got niggas having a warm-up, they shit like a hot pocket to get into it if the weather dropped. So we're calling these restaurants, we're calling these restaurants,

and we realize we don't really want to drive. But at this point, we're willing to put someone else in danger to deliver us. So we call the restaurants, we see who open, and in order for us to get over the fact that we're making people work during a state of emergency, we decided it's not our fault. They got to take that up with the owner. The owner made you come in. So while you're working, we're going to make sure you work.

Take it up with the owner, right? This is real ignorant, y'all. I know, but this is my thought because, bitch, we wanted food. And we was hungry. Right. And we had already ate the shark. We ate like two or three charcutory meals. Yeah, I was going to say, like, how much sharkry can you eat?

So, mind you, we also had noodles. She made a tuna sandwich. I had my food as a meal. Yeah, y'all niggas. Yeah, yeah, y'all should have kept that jeezel. Yeah, that's made that hole back on the packet. They put the whole, you know. Yeah.

No, I do have. I do have the seasoning pack, okay? Half the seasoning pack is probably still 250% of your daily. It's like a week's worth. No, no, no, no. You should have sold me, too. I bought this noodle pack specifically from the farmer's market.

So it's a product of Singapore. So I was like, it has to be more healthy than the product of the U.S., the noodles and noodles. Because anyways, I thought it was healthier, okay? So anyway, So anyways, we found We found a spot that was open Wings and pasta

Real Atlanta, okay? That's some real Atlanta shit. Real Atlanta. When the name of the restaurant is the shit that we serve, that's some real Atlanta Even more Atlanta. It's called Hungry A.F.

Oh, hungry. Oh, yeah, yeah. Shout out of Hungry, yeah. Are you looking at to see if they actually have physical locations? No, no, they do. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, they have brick and mortar. They do, they have, and it's open until 2.30.

No, I mean, in general, when you, you know. on a strong night. I don't be caring. Honestly, if it's made in a ghost kitchen, it's probably, the kitchens is all sketch, okay? I've eaten some fire meals out of ghost kitchen. And I'm fine with that.

And I'm all right with it, yeah. So we decide to order from Hungary A.F. Okay. We decide we're not hopping in your Tesla. So I hop my ass on the Uber Eats. So I get to the Uber Eats. This is a place that delivers in like 30 minutes. I said, oh, bitch, we've got to eat up good.

So order the Uber Eats. This is how hungry we are. I'm tracking. I said, ooh, he's picking up our order. Oh, he got our order. Ooh, he's seven minutes away. That's seven minutes away was seven minutes away for about 20 minutes. Then I noticed he's going a different direction.

So here go, here go Crystal, like, well, girl, maybe there's an accident. Bitch, you know it's a state of emergency. They told people stay off the roads, maybe he had to go another way. I said, bitch, he on a motorbike. He could get on the sidewalk. On a motorbike and that guy, he could have been dead. That nigger might have been a dick somewhere. So here I go, hey, I see you're not moving.

Are you okay? He reads it. The concerned citizen. I was. Politeness first. I literally politeness first. Mind you, hold on. I screenshot it the conversation.

I'm reading it right now. Now you don't even know. Because mind you, he's supposed to be seven minutes away. Bet. So I'm like, hey, are you okay? I see you're not moving. this was at 6.45 p.m. I hit him seven minutes later. Because again, he only supposed to be seven minutes away, but at this point, he is no longer moving.

I'm zooming into the map. It's an apartment complex. It's an apartment complex. What's your hunger meter? That's a good question. Are you hangary yet? Oh, I'm hangary. Oh, yeah. Because I've been eating pickles and cheese for a day to have.

I'm hungry. So I go and I'm like, okay, it goes from arriving. is at 642, arise at 651, arise at 658, arise at 710, arise at 715. He's not moving. He is at Ashley Auburn Point Apartments. Oh, yeah, I'm putting it out there. Maybe we bleep it. I don't know. But I see the apartment complex that he's chilling. He's not moving. So I text him again, hey, I see you're not moving.

I know there's ice. Are you okay? This is when I was concerned. Compassionate, Mandy. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. You know, son, there's two whys in the hay. Bro. Real nice. Bro. Now that gets delivered.

Well, she's too hungry to be rude yet because she wanted to say. She's a little bit of great. She's like, I don't want to dis him completely. But hey, I know this bad weather, but however. You ready? So I go to just look at his account now. Oh, shit. I'm like, Devon.

Now she's digging. Devon got my food. Let me see what Devon motherfucker doing. Here we go. Y'all, Devon has zero delivery. Dirty game. I said zero. Zero.

And why do you get that one? Because, nigga, he didn't. He didn't deliver my food either. I said, I said, oh, this is the new scam. I said, niggas is creating Uber Eats accounts to get meals. And at this one, I'm like, damn, he did this for shrimp pasta, salmon pasta, and honey, lemon, pepper wings. You got to run that photo. You got to run the photo to see if it's an AI photo.

By the way, I... Probably is. By the way, I want to tell y'all... I want to tell y'all about this restaurant because never have I ever seen a restaurant with 10 different renditions of something with lemon pepper. We talk about biracial's. They turn lemon pepper into a thing that just gets mixed with everything else. So it was honey garlic, lemon pepper, honey, lemon pepper, barbecue, lemon pepper,

spicy, lemon pepper, dry, lemon pepper, wet, lemon pepper, lemon pepper. They had lemon pepper and ranch seasoning. Never saw that before. I think lemon pepper is the new old bay. Oh, yeah. You can either do it. You know what's crazy? No, no, no, no.

I think that's fair, right? I think, no, no, not obey, adobe. Okay. Adobobo going everything. Because they put in lemon pepper and eggs, lemon pepper in... I don't want lemon pepper in my eggs. So anyways, I don't know if y'all know, customer service with Uber Eats was very difficult.

And because it was a state of emergency, niggas was like, no, I give them time. I said, nigga, he had my food for 41 minutes. Yeah. Hold on. Hold on. In cold weather, at this point, my food about to be cold. Right.

If I ever get it, I said, him. also holding on to food for 41 minutes. I don't want it. So I had to go back and forth. We get in my refund and then this was the last of it. Me and my best friend decided to be like, bitch, you want to try from your account?

She was like, but what if it happens again? I said, if it happens again, we got to take this up with the Sky Daddy because he ain't want us to eat. He wanted to show us a lesson. And we got to go back to the shakoutary shit in the fridge. But luckily, the food ended up coming on her ass. and Uber Eats gave me my money back,

but it taught me that in case of a real emergency, when Uber Eats and restaurants is not working, but you will starve to death before anything else. You better than me taking it up with Sky Daddy. I don't want to the other guy. Like, hey, bro. Who's the other guy? Satan.

I took that up with Satan. Leave Scott Daddy out of this. Abre, hey, brah. I need you to come get somebody right. I need to call him. I need to call him. It's cold as hell outside. I'm frozen inside my career.

We've eaten salt for 36 hours. I didn't go out. My heat work now. Calm down. Do you think the door, the Uber eats scammie, do you think that he determined whether or not he was going to execute the order by what the order was? I would. Like, oh, shit, she got, that's my favorite meal.

Yeah. Oh, that's my other favorite dish. Oh, this is mine. Or with asparagus and steamed rice, he would have delivered. You know what? I'm actually, I wonder if they're able to see the full order. before they get there. Because, you know, like, Uber drivers aren't able to see the final destination until they accept a ride.

Well, when they get it. Or until you get in the car. Right. You say what? The receipt. Oh, the receipt. Yeah. Oh, he saw that lemon pepper, honey.

They'll say, hey, what's the name? And then they might mention one or two items just for confirmation. Right. And then that'll, you know, validate and then keep him pushing, you know. I'd be like, oh, this is my rasta pasta. Yeah, yeah. I would be crying like infinity stones. Like, I got some lobster from you.

I got a stake from you if he did it to two other people. Yeah, two other people. I'm going to just run this thing up until they fire me. I wonder if he would make like multiple accounts to do that. So that's where I would love to know if there are any Uber Eats delivery drivers that listen to this. Yeah, we need a scammer to call in. I want to know how easy it is for y'all to make accounts or what needs to be verified. Because Devon is over there rated.

Hold on. That's the other thing. Zero point. I need to know. He's rated a top rated career. How you rate it? top-rated with zero delivery. I wonder if that's part of his picture.

Okay. Oh, I wonder if that's what I'm saying you should run the picture. But I would think that they have to upload their license for confirmation. I ain't going to hold you. Black men, I love you. Here we go. But now we have got to the place where I don't want y'all to clean my house, do my grocery shopping or picking up my Uber Eats orders.

Like, black men, where is the trust between us? Because it's been lost upon me, y'all. And it's an ignorant way to think. I know. But now I'm a little, I'm a little, I'm about to even start riding the her app. You know there's a her ride. What's that? What is that about?

Y'all aren't familiar of her ride. No. No, everybody is a penis. Her ride is an app. I don't know. I don't know about the her ride. So her ride, and I only really see it promoted heavily here in Atlanta for good reason. Of course.

Her ride is an Uber app's woman-owned company. where only women drivers are the drivers. So you can download the app and as a woman, you're safer to get in a car with a woman. That's even a thing that we have to create a curve version. I know. Who should you blame? Because niggas.

Set up a goddamn town hall amongst other men. Why are we so scared? Y'all need to work on the behavior of your own car. No, that's how bad. There's a misogyny economy. That's how crazy the shit is. Oh, misogyny economy. Like there are services and goods and businesses specifically catered to women because they don't feel safe around you niggins.

Every January, we're encouraged to start over. But what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help? I'm Mike De La Rocha. host of sacred lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating stress, emotional health, fatherhood, identity, and the unspoken pressures were taught to carry alone. We talk honestly about mental health, about healing generational wounds,

and about learning how to show up with more presence and care. If you want a healthier relationship with yourself and the people you love, then Sacred Lessons is the podcast for you. Listen to Sacred Lessons with Mike Dolorotcha on America's number one podcast network, IHeart. Follow Sacred Lessons with Mike DeLaurocha and start listening on the free IHeart Radio app today. Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the mailroom podcast. Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken?

But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught the name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy. compassion. If you want this to be the year you stop powering through pain and start

In what conversation? He should be in it. Listen to Broken Play with Nav Green from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart Radio app.

Apple Podcasts or whatever you get your podcast. This is Ryder Strong and I have a new podcast called The Red Weather. It was many and many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea. In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune. It was hard to wrap your head around. It was nature and trees and praying. I'm in drugs. So no, I am not your guru.

And back then, I lied to my parents, I lied to police, I lied to everybody. There were years right where I could not say your name. I've decided to go back to my hometown in Northern California, interview my friends, family, talk to police, journalists, whomever I can to try to find out what actually happened. Isn't it a little bit weird that they obsess over hippies in the woods and not the obvious boyfriend? They have had this case for 30 years.

I'll teach you sons of a bitch to come around here in my wife. Boom, boom, this is The Red Weather. Listen to the Red Weather on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All customer service for, you know, the handle issue or credit dispute or whatever. If I hear a dude pick up, I hang up. I hang up until I get a woman. That's fair. Facts. I do that too. My thought process is, you know, this is going to deny me as soon as I time.

The problem, yo, he's like, nah, we can't help you. A woman, hey, how you doing? What's the weather? Like, oh, you're from New York? Yeah. Oh, I hope you out and it's easy money. I thought your ignorant take was going to go

somewhere so different. I thought you were going to say if you, if they answered and it was like, hello, my name is Daniel. How do me I have? You want to lie? Accent is that. I don't want to hear that.

Who has an accent like that and they name is Daniel? You tell you. My fuck is. My point. So you said, Indian person. I would talk to an Indian person before I talk to a nigga.

Oh, oh. When I'm dealing with disputes or cuts in the service. You know what's crazy? I ain't going to hold you when I called Delta because you know they whole. Talk on. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, I like Tyrol helping me, nigger.

Well, that's different. I said, do you know what I'm going through in this airport? He'd be like, man, I know it's crazy. And it is, so help a sister out. I love calling Delta and a nigga pick up. Delta is different, though. Delta is different, though. To that, you know, they have a different criteria.

But yeah, I thought she was going to go with the accent. No, okay. I don't like, when I hear dudes, they just very, no. Massaging the economy. Some of these niggas, the only power they have in their life is when they pick up the phone and get to the side whether or not you get your money back. Talk to them. So, like, when they get it behind that phone, it's like, oh, I'm Thanos now.

I'm in charge of all this shit. They ain't never been in charge before. Yeah, right, right, all right. It's kind of like some of the Germans that we see you out and talk about it at lunchtime. Mm-hmm. Don't get to that? Huh. All right.

You got a quick ignorant take before we get into America. You know what? It's funny. I was thinking I had one and then I was listening to your story about the Uber Eats and Devine, punk-ass Devine. Punk-ass-divine. And I thought about another one that I had that kind of remind me of you, not that I think about it. Oh, shit.

Damn. Because we know that Mandy don't like nobody kids. You know, Mandy don't give a shit. She don't give a shit. About nobody children. You're right. Right. So I'm nervous. We getting prepared for this storm, and we're going around.

I'm buying stuff. I'm making a trip to public. I'm buying water. They bought up all the water. I probably played myself. They bought up all the water, all the chicken. So I'm like, all right, I'm going to grab these couple of things. And then I was like, damn, I don't really have.

Like, I kind of the same thing. I had, not charcutory, but I had snacks and random shit. I don't have no real food. Let me go in here to get a sandwich. Go to the public's deli. Get a sandwich. Oh, the public stuff here. And my mouth was set.

I was like, oh, I'm about to fuck this public sandwich up. Nope. Get to the deli. There's one person in front of me. Cool, I'm going to get in here and get out of here. Okay. As I'm walking to the counter, I see the whole row of the deli counter is lined up with bread. And I'm like, what's going on here?

The lady in front of me ordered 13 public sandwiches. She got money. Man, bro. And she can't cook. Baby, they hit it like them quizzes. Baby, they hit it like them Quiznos prices. Yeah, yeah. You know how Quiznos used to be elite over subway?

Yeah, public subs ain't cheap. Going there and get that boy's head if you want to. That bitch is going to run you $15. She had 13 sandwiches. Damn. The lady is trying to go down the line, squeeze the mustard. She got a different order for everyone, all of these individual things. And I'm sitting there and I'm looking at the back of her head.

And I'm like, if I had, like, laser eyes, I would just like, I would just burn this lady's scalp off right now. Like, who the fuck? orders 13 sandwiches. Not you said you were turning to Homelander. Yeah, real Homelander vibes. I was really feeling like, yo, because who does that? Let's play red, black, brown, and yellow. Why are we doing this?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, wait, wait, wait. I mean, it's white, right? I'm going to say she was black. Oh, man. Nah. To buy all the sandwiches like that, it had to be a white person. Ha. It'd be your own people.

Wow. I don't know how many kids this lady had. She's going to tell the lady at the, just making a sandwich. Yeah, I ain't cooking nothing for my kids and husband and a night. It's definitely somebody who don't cook. Yeah, damn. To line up 13 like that. Oh, her mercy.

Dog. But when are y'all going to the stores, though? Like, I did, I bullshit. I didn't go till Friday. Oh, there's go. By the way, by the way, conspiracy time. Okay. Ice storm created by the government.

Oh, God. Why? Hold on. To boost the economy? Here we up. Here we up. Y'all remember last week, we talked about the piece of chicken, the piece of broccoli, and the tortilla.

We did, yeah, yeah. We've been talking about grocery prices and how nobody can afford grocery. True. Government said, let's see if y'all really can afford them. Bitch, grocery stores cleared out across the entire country. Hold on. Waters gone.

Gone. You couldn't even find water. You couldn't find certain cheese. The meats were gone. When I say that the people who actually know how to be prepared, unlike me, cleared out them grocery stores, So now that we're back on the other side of it, I wouldn't doubt that the government is then like,

oh, these niggas can afford you just got to put a whole five. You know, there was a chicken supply chain issue too on top of that. Wait, there was a what issue? There was a chicken supply chain issue, coincidentally, if I'm adding on to your conspiracy, the same week of the storm, it was a supply chain issue with chicken. Up and down to East Coast. See what I mean?

We might got to get one of them tinfoil bucket hats. Yes. No, we got to get on. You would have joined me? Yeah, I might be rich on the show. I hate conspiracy theories, but I might, I might fuck with you on that. No, I always say if I'm an economist, I'm watching how people spend during the holiday because we're supposed to be in a recession, right? We're supposed to be watching our money.

But then when you go to these stores, everything's gone. To your point, all right, they said the power might have power outages. That was my biggest fear because they say it could be a month, a week, whatever. I went to, I looked up generators. You know they were sold out. They were sold out. Generator was sold out. You know how much a generate?

A $1,000? Yeah. Plus the warranty. $1,000. Yeah, for sure. Minimal. For sure. Gone.

Yep. Ace hardware, Home Depot. Lowe. Low. Yeah. All the northern tool. By the way, by the way, snowstorm up in the north, but the South got ice. But this is how, this is why I think the government did it.

Florida wasn't even included. Bitch, they was 86 degrees. on Sunday while we were sitting here with ice. Ice sickles from the power line. Make it make sense. Anyway, that was my conspiracy theory. That's funny that you, you ain't want that woman to feed her kids with public subs.

Did you get 13? Did you get to have enough bread for you? Yeah, I had to sit there and wait. There was like three rolls left. And I had to get wheat. I didn't even want to get me. Were you bracing yourself for that? Like, oh, we didn't got no more.

Because I was worried she was going to get a text or a phone call and be like, oh, my dirty-ass nephews and nieces is coming over here. I got to get some more sandwiches. Like, I was sitting there looking like, hey, man. I feel like this is one of those call ahead. Like, you know, you go to a restaurant. You can't just go to a restaurant to have, like, walk in with 20 people. You got to call ahead, get a party. So I feel like that's a catering order.

13 sandwiches. Like, come on, ladies. All different orders. All different orders. All different needs. You couldn't just do the turkey club and. And just say, boom. And go home about your business? No, 13 complete unique sandwiches. That's funny. Seasonings and all that shit.

Yeah, fuck that woman and her kids. I said, bro. Fuck them cute. All right. Anyway, let's get into This is America. Don't got you sipping, no. And we're talking is everybody for sale. Now, I want to include all three of these together

because they're all three different types of deals, but I want us to kind of really share our thoughts about it. I'll talk about what happened with Kevin Hart and Khabi Lame, and then we're going to get into a fun game with the woman who sold the Dr. Pepper jingle for $2 million. So not sure if you guys were aware, but Kevin Hart inked a deal for his name. So Kevin Hart is now sold to Authentic Brand Group, where they will license his name to get him brands, products, all these other things.

Now, I looked up, and I want to bring up, actually, I did a quick little research on it on what really it entailed. But it's really interesting because basically he's still owns his name. This was more of like an IP move, right? Now... So they have this for a limited amount of time. Is it limited? So he entered into a partnership where he's...

I think what makes it unique is that he became a stakeholder in the company. So the company and Kevin Hart together will co-manage his name. So it's okay. But like usually these deals are like when people pass. So like Muhammad Ali has a deal with the company. He has a state. They did it with the company. Marilyn Monroe has a deal with the company.

The state. So it's unique and that he's alive. So I think the difference is, he became like a stakeholder to manage it as well. To a company. So he doesn't mean that he doesn't act anymore or perform. He's still able to do all of those things. He's just

now, he's turned his name into a business essentially. Right. Now Kabi Lameh, who is a TikTok creator, did the same thing. He did a $900 million deal, right? But the $900 million deal was for shares

into a company. So it wasn't a cash payout. And I thought that this was really interesting because what his deal is is kind of the same. They're able to take his business, his content, and license it into all of these different moves. However, the interesting thing about this and what makes it different than Kevin Hart's is, this includes the company creating an AI digital twin of Kavi LeMay. So the agreement includes plans to use his likeness, voice, and behavioral data to create an AI version of him that can generate multilingual content and branded activations beyond his physical availability.

Interesting. Uh-oh. John is shaking his head. It's just, like, listen, man, don't never let nobody tell you that it can't happen, right? It can happen for you. It can happen for you. Because Cabi LeMay doesn't talk. No, he literally don't talk.

He doesn't talk, and he's being paid $900 million to create a digital version of him that talks. Yes. Right. That's almost a genius of it, too. Because you don't know what he sounds like, and each language you can create a new voice, and people will think that's his name.

That's actually him. That's what he sounds like, yeah. Now, for y'all who don't know, he is the most followed person on TikTok. So he essentially is the TikTok version of a Kaizanat. Right. and what Kaizenat was able to do. Or actually, I show speed, actually is now the biggest one since he just completed his tour of Africa.

Right. But yeah, I found this to be really interesting. I think to make yourself a company or to be able to sell yourself, bitch, I'm selling myself for a lot less than one point in my life, okay? I absolutely find this incredible that, as a creator, you don't have to feel burgundy, or is that the word, right? Burgeon. Burdened? Burden. B-U-E-R-G-O.

Burgond. Burgo. Something like that. Maybe I've been reading the dictionary. What is the definition of the word that we're looking for? It just sounded, right? Insert, blunder, sound effect here. Anyway, to know that you don't have to be this person that has to constantly show up or be in front of the camera.

Like I saw a clip of Kevin stage, right? He talked about every day he posts two to three videos a day to his socials. Across the year, he might post 2,000, 3,000 videos. He said of that 3,000 videos, he may want to do 25. But he has to.

A part of why he can sell these tickets on tour, a part of why he's able to get these deals with these networks for his content, is because he has to do this amount of output as a job. He's dependent on putting out this amount of content. So imagine being able to sell yourself for $975 million and a company be able to replicate that without you actually having to do the physical work.

I would do it. So I guess my question would be in like, especially in Kevin Hart's, I guess for both of them, but like for Kevin Hart, he's part of the company, so I'm assuming that he has obviously some say in what the things are that they use it, use his likeness for, right? I mean, is that... I'm glad you brought that up.

Cobby's is shared control. So he does still have say with this company. Brand governance is centralized for Cobby distributed with Kevin Hart. So again, his team has a lot of say. Now here's the issue, or not really issue, commercial decisions. So when you're bringing in all those things, Kevin Hart's collaborative Cobby has no say

it's corporate led So a part of Cobby But again Someone who hasn't said anything He's a Senegalese immigrant Here in American I think he might have left America But he's someone

That he's someone that may have no idea Of how to run This thing To me it's not It's similar to the difference between A Joe Budin and a Charlemagne Right Joe Budden is leading his own

entity has created himself as a corporation and is running himself Joe Butta Network as a corporation, then you have Charlemagne who is, who learns corporate but in partnership with Iheart. So I think that's kind of what this kind of would look like from a podcast landscape. You think that that's predicated on the opportunity that presents itself too? I think that too. I agree. Like how much is Mandy B? How much would you sell your name in likeness for today? Oh, I'm expensive. I'm not this expensive.

I mean, I think that that's a thing. 150? Well, when you talk about selling yourself too, right? It's do you believe that you're worth right now is larger than this? Because when you go to work with a company, you're letting oftentimes a company say what they value, what they evaluate you at. And so if someone comes in and wants to buy me right now, but I have full belief that, nah, this is about to grow, I might want to hold off and sell myself later down the line. and continue investing into myself, right? So, I mean, I think it's different.

I right now license my things. So I completely own the IP of horrible decisions in what Weasie and I have created over there. This right now that I'm building out and creating, including the Patreon on YouTube, what this is still waiting on the trademark. But I'm building another IP. So this is all different than, of course, it's me.

but it's I'm building my singular equity in brand currently because I've been a part of duos for so long as well you know right so I ain't got a number right now but I got a number if that makes sense but it's that number probably has eight figures on it oh nothing less I would go up to nine figures yeah like yeah but that's that that masterpiece shit Like, you know, when, was it universal, I believe, Jason, that he was initially going to partner with, with no limit.

I'm looking forward to the, I think he offered them $10 million. Oh, yeah. He turned it down because he was like. The quote he said. Yeah, the quote he said was like, if they're going to give me $10 million, then what must I really be worth? So like that number, whatever number they're going to give you, they're not going to give you what's your worth. They're only going to give you a percentage that makes them money. So if they're giving you that kind of money, what do they?

So I guess I'm saying that to say is that like if for Khabi, it might be one thing because he doesn't talk. So I don't know what he considers his brand to be. But for Kevin Hart is like if they're putting your name or your likeness on things that you don't really fuck with or it comes out later that something they put your name on is suspect or has something going on with it and you just have to eat it that you don't really have. No, I would assume there's definitely some level of morality. again, A King brought up that Kevin is still alive. So I would assume that there's more say to that. Like even being a part of the Black Effect Network, right?

Like, we get things that come in and we can approve or deny certain ads. So, like, y'all ain't going to hear no Charlie Kirk network ads over here. Right, yeah. Y'all ain't, you're not going to hear that shit, right? Like, even I think at one point it was a really big thing for us not to promote, what was it?

Dick Pills? Oh, no. nigga. We're all dead. We said, no, we're selling some dick. We're going to sell some d'clock. Whatever else, y'all, with your dick, we're going to sell them things. But just certain things that may not align with us. I know political things.

Like there was, y'all might not know this, but Bloomberg, when he was running in New York or entering one of the, Bloomberg was willing to spend money on a podcast. And there was a lot of conversation whether we wanted to politicize. Right. Clearly, we get on and talk about. the orange Cheeto and Kamala, but having actual ads,

you know, it's a little, it's a different thing. You know, it's a different thing. Well, yeah, I mean, you don't want to get caught up. Like, this shit that's going on with Desi Banks to me is, like, kind of fascinating and kind of scary. What's happening with Desi Banks? So there was, I forget the outlet.

Jason, I don't know if you heard this story now. Maybe you know what the outlet is. There was an outlet that basically did some, it was doing investigating into Mossad. And it's like, I don't know what you, I don't know how you want to describe this aside. I don't know if it's like a, I don't know, you can call it a terrorist organization,

like a political resistance organization of dubious means. How the fuck, the Desi Banks and this getting... So apparently a company, I think what it was was a company that was running, trying to recruit people in like an ad agency, was running ads through podcasts and different forms of content, and somehow they ended up doing business with Desi Banks company. Or allegedly, that's what's being, that's what's being said.

So now... Yeah, I'm looking at it now. People are digging into, like, did he know about this, did not know about this? If he didn't know about this, who was in charge of his business? Well, I ain't going to hold you.

I know his team, so I'm about to go ahead. I'm about to be messing. It's turned into like... Because also, a person I know ain't on his team no more. So I'm like, uh... He's a friend.

He's a friend. He's a friend. He's a friend. He's a friend. He's a friend. Wait, whoa. Let's not say that, too. Whoa.

Wake us. I am not gang gang, gang, I do not bang, gang, bang. Right, yeah. Do you gang gang? Right. Because I be outside with my gang gang. Like, and so his, Desi Bank's name is being circulated in places that you would never political in the Washington, the Washington Post in these places that you wouldn't expect to see his name because his company, allegedly, has ties to this international groups.

And now it's like a international incident almost that has this American comedian. content creator been helping to spread the message of some terroristic regime. Oh, yikes. Yeah, it's international law. Oh, yikes. Potentially. Do you see what I'm talking about? Yes, yeah. I'm reading his comment. So the headline, Google

suspends ad account of Atlanta influencer used to recruit Iranian agents for the Mossad. And he put out a statement and he says here stop believing BS. I hate that this happened to me because I don't even know what any of this is. People are

really getting fooled for clickbait. Someone used my LLC without my knowledge, how I don't know yet. I don't even know if half of what's being posted is real, but my team is digging to it right now. I have no idea of doing this or why. That's some scary shit. Like they might be,

they could be looking at him like he's a spy. Yeah. Like prize. Yeah. Iranian. You don't want to be linked to what's going on over us. And what's going on with America and them right now? Like, you don't want no parts of none of that.

And like, to Dezzi's point, like to, you know, shoot him some bail, like, he might not have anything to do with this. Again, who's running your business and who's approving ads and who's approving these different things? There's money that comes through. Where is it coming from? And I think that goes back to what we're saying.

When you align yourself with now these companies, even if you're a shareholder, even if you're getting equity in the business, like what are the decisions really being made and how do they align with what you want? Yeah, I would just want you to be careful. I agree. I agree. I agree. It gets spooky.

Every January, we're encouraged to start over. But what if this year's, about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply. What if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help? I'm Mike Delarocha, host of Sacred Lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating stress, emotional health, fatherhood, identity, and the unspoken pressures were taught to carry alone.

Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the mailroom podcast. Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken? But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience,

helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men. aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy, as in compassion. If you want this to be the year, you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your favorite shows. This show contains information subject to, but not limited to personal takes, rumors, not so accurate stats, and plenty more. What's up, man? This is your boy, Nav Green, from the Broken Play Podcast. Look, it's the end of the season, the playoffs are here. But guess what? It ain't the end of your season. You can always tune in with Broken Play Podcasts with Nav Green on the Black Effect Podcast Network. Not a team who ain't going to the playoffs.

They're cheese. Oh, it's a rap. It's time to rebuild. Who's your MVP right now, then? Drake May up there, Josh Allen up there still. Oh, my boy, Matthew Stafford. Where did his Bull Knicks at? He ain't too far behind.

He did all this talk about. What Matthew Stafford is doing statistically, bro, it's crazy. Bro, you know I ain't no Josh Allen fan, but Matthew Staff forgot. Better webb. Caleb Williams. Hey, he should be in that conversation. In what conversation?

He should be in it. Listen to Broken Play with Nav Green from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart Radio app. Apple Podcast or whatever you get your. This is Writer Strong, and I have a new podcast called The Red Weather. It was many and many a year ago in a kingdom by the sea. In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune. It was hard to wrap your head around.

It was nature and trees and praying and drugs. So no, I am not your guru. And back then, I lied to my parents. I lied to police. I lied to everybody. There were years, right, where I could not say your name. I've decided to go back to my hometown in Northern California, interview my friends, family, talk to police, journalists, whomever I can, to try to find out what actually happened.

Isn't it a little bit weird that they obsess over hippies in the woods and not the obvious boyfriend? They have had this case for 30 years. I'll teach you sons of a bitch to come around her in my wife. Boom, boom. This is The Red Weather. Listen to the Red Weather on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. said at the top, you said, this could happen for anyone. Now, in a different way, a TikTok creator by the name of Romeo Bingham made a new jingle

for Dr. Pepper that was so catchy that the soda company licensed it in a major TV ad, which I've heard rumbling that this may be shown during Super Bowl. That's why she got this payout because they wanted to use this jingle for a Super Bowl ad. So we'll see it next week, if it is, or this weekend. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but they're saying that it was an upward of $2 million to use this jingle. And this led to a fury of people creating jingles. Now, Jason, I do want you, if you could pull up just some of these jingles

that had been created because people saw this $2 million payout and was like, oh, bitch, all I got to do is make a little jingle, a little jingle jingle, jingle. Niggas trying to hit that Wipaw Lottery. And I can hit that lotter. Mm-hmm. Hit that number. So, Jason, if you could pull up the clip with the other people creating their jingles.

Yeah, let's go through them. Right there. This was the first one. Is that big in prison? No. Oh. Oh. Got to give my hands on some pop-bye.

Let's see the next one. Let's see the next one. Okay, we got to make a theme song for Coca-Cola, y'all. I was sitting here thinking I was like, I mean, Coca-Cola needs to. Okay, so we're going to like this. I'll hear me out. Pop that top. Yeah, you know the cold.

One, six. I like that. That's like a 90s jingle right there. I like that. Two million dollars. Mountain Dew is for you. Two million dollars. Romeo, you mean it's telling me that you made two million dollars off of a jingle jangle.

What do you want for dinner? Pizza huh, a pizza huh, pizza, ha, pizza, ha, a pizza. Call me when you're ready. Okay, now, you know what? Did she chicken? Yes. I decided that we were going to have fun here as the selective ignorance gang, gang, gang. And I wanted us to give each other either a product or a fast food chained restaurant.

that we think we could create a jingle for. Now, how we're going to do this is I'm going to throw just a random product or place to Jai. And maybe collectively we come up with one for both of them. Okay. And then Jai, you got to throw one at me. Oh, yeah. But because this is my show, we're going to say the best for last.

Oh, no. I'll go at last. I'll make it y'all come up with the jiggles first. All right. All right. So Jai, I'm going to throw. you, by the way, I'm going to give y'all a little bit more time because y'all

y'all a little older. Your brain might take a little longer. So, A. King, I want you to create a jingle for Kleenex. Yep, the tissues. Because we're in Atlanta, I want you to create a jingle for American Deli. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And Jason, because...

I had a pre-written... What you... You had a pre-written one. I had a pre-written for Taco Bell. You got bars. Okay, okay. And because Jason is so old and said he has to write his bars, he don't freestyle. He said I write my wrong. I'm going to look after Blackberry.

Jason said he want to give us his Taco Bell jingle. Now, don't we, what's Taco Bell's jingle right now? Open late? Yeah, open late in the bell. Or Tocato Bell. That was one. Yeah, that was. So get on Taco Bell.

It was. Okay. I think that dog is. Okay. Well, Jason, of course, he does Taco Bell with his Puerto Rican ass. When he said that, I was like, I was like, that's racist. But I like, he came up with this. I was just trying to pick a one real quick.

Fair enough. Okay, so you got, what is mine? Oh, yours is Hooters. Oh, my God. That's a good one. That's a good one. Okay, we're going to start with Jason since he wrote his down. So Jason, give us the jingle for Taco Bell.

Okay, ready. Here we go. I got to clear my eyes. I'm still laughing over the other ones. Ready. 16 beers in the gut, tequila shot once mow. Been drinking so much.

All of my food turned cold. Been partying so much. I can barely see straight. Hope that Taco Bell drive-thru is open late. Ah. I hate me with that. What beat was that supposed to go on? Can we get that where?

It's the regulators. It's regulate. Oh, it's regulate. If you smoke like I smoke. You eat like every day. Can we get it? Can we get it with that? Could you sing it?

You like read it off. I need that redone. You're going to make me do it again? I don't even got a plan. I'm going to try it. Ready? Because it's the Nate dog part. So this is tough, though.

I got you. Yeah, right? 16 beers in the gut. Tequila shot once mo. Been drinking so much. All of my food turned cold. Been partying so much. I can barely see straight.

Hope that Taco Bell drive-through is open late. And if you smoke like I smoke. Let Baboni keep his job. You are not going to be for Baboni with this, okay? All right. A. King, I need that Kleenex. Damn. I ain't got no.

Come on. I need it from the top. I need it from the top. Can it be provocative? Of course it can. You can't sell what you can sell, my brother. Go on. Tissue, right?

You say it's for tissue, yep. How do you make a tissue for my game? Here we go. This issue, this, we all have to label this episode. Wipe your nose. Wipe your crotch and wipe your toes. Clean necks, clean necks. Whatever ads we had running against this episode.

Shout out to clean neck. I mean, you know, listen. Brut, okay, right now, we're not even getting $10 for these jingles. I thought you was going to take the easy way out of do, they're not like us. Oh, that's a film. Remixed. They're not like us.

They're not like us. Kleenex. They start like us. They start like us. That is crazy. Let me do it. Let me do it so I can put the beat underneath. They stand like us.

They's not like us. They's not like us. They're not like us. They sound like us. They sound like us. Kleenex. Remix. Say, Drake.

I hear you blow your nose. Say, hey. Keep going. Keep going. Hold on. I wanted you to get a... Come on, Ron with nose. Nose.

I hear you blow your nose. I heard you're always in Toronto with a cold. What? I don't know. I'll play with you. Okay, let's get American Deli. For y'all that do not know American Deli, American Deli is where...

A cherished Atlanta establishment. And is where you get wings, of course. Yes. They sell sandwiches, I never had American Day. I only go there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You've never had American Deli. Oh, yeah.

Got to put it on a set. Sit. Sit. Want some crinkle french fries. Make you thick, thick thighs. Damn. Jam. Jam.

Jam. Jam. Jam. Damn. Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah. By the way. That was hard. That was hard.

That was hard. By the way, brought up ass crack. You brought up tequila shots. Tissue. And you are bringing up weed. None of these will go with jingles, y'all. Listen, man. We're trying to expand markets.

We revolutionize in the jingle game now. People want authenticity. Right. People want authenticity. We have to talk to the people the way the people talk. That's how you sell products. Okay, for mine, by the way, I hate that you gave me a business that is going out of business. You said, Mandy, you make enough money.

I don't even want to give you a way to make money off the office because them niggas is bankrupt. Maybe you bring it back. It was RIP Hooters. Are they gone gone? It's got to be some hooters left around. It's just chapter 11. They're holding on. No, no, no.

I mean, they just closed the one on Peachtree where Drake met. Bring him back. Bring him back. Who he met on Pete Street? In Atlanta, I can see you closing on. In Atlanta, there's a lot of strip clubs here. You don't necessarily have to have to. You don't need to go to Hooters for Wayne.

Wait, wait. I was about to say, Titty. Titty will never go out of man, woman, and child. They'll never go out of style. From coast to coast around the world, any time zone. Everybody loves it. I mean, and here y'all go making me also lean into the improper way of making a jingle. Uh-oh.

I was going, who-hoo, who pull over that. Who-who, pull over. I'm not mad at that, though. Who-hoo-pull-pull-a. Hey. Hoop, hook, we at Hootah. Hoop hoot. Hey.

Hoop we at hoot us. That's all I can think of was the hoot, hoot, baby. And then, hold on, and then the visual of it was, hoon, hoon, hoo, hoo. You got to, let you do. You got to have the titty jump. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the peck jump. You got to have the tithes jump. You get Terry Cruz.

By the way, by the way, there is a lovely lady. Do not know her name, but she works at Cheetah. She is easily 65 years old. Oh, that sounds about right for cheating. And she puts a shot in her tities. And when she serves it to you, she makes her tities jump while the shot is right here. And you take that. And literally $20, $20 a shot because she make her.

And they're old, big old titty. And these are white tities? White titties. And I would never do it from a white woman any other time. But that bitch make these tits. She make it go. to the song that song. Slide to the left.

Slide to the right. Shout out to the lady. Shout out to the shop lady and cheetah, bro. It's crazy. Are these her tities? Are they refurbished tities? They big. I assume they're in the tinius that is big and old.

But she got these muscles that she literally, she could literally make them go like these tithies. I said, oh my god, bitch. I want to, my tithes don't do that. I say it all the time. The reason for going to a strip club is to humble myself. This is why niggas cheat. Bitch, you can't do that.

You can't do that. You can't do that. Damn. Let me not keep a man from experience life. A lot of talents. A lot of talents come to the family. There's a lot of talent. So you're pro.

Now, I'm not pro cheat, but I'm pro. I understand you want. For mental health reasons, I thought. No, I understand. Ladies, if you ever want to understand. You really want to get deep insight. This was just a moment to champion. Literally, ladies, if you want to understand.

understand why you are never enough. Nothing you do will keep a man from wandering a straight. Just go to the strip club. Look at the way they bend, the way they shake, the tricks that they have, the beauty, the body, like, it's, baby you'll understand. Like, Beyonce wasn't enough, okay? We are never enough as just a solo individual, but if you go to a strip, club, especially in Atlanta,

it'll allow you to understand life a little better. I'm just going to put that out there. Just going to put that out there. But baby, crazy. Anyway, let's get into Celebrity Save the Dornest Things. Or do we want to do? You know what, let's do it real quick. Let's do it real quick. Only because

I like when we get to educate people and then we'll get into Celebrity Say the Darnest Things where we're really just going to talk shit about everybody. Just to update you guys again, last week I talked about Kai Sinai. you know, in my mind, still performative, but reading on stream. And it led to a lot of conversations and backlash around literacy and this being a good thing. Shout out to Trev.

Read me for filth in the Discord. So again, if you hate my takes and you too want your opinion to get directly to me, join us on Patreon. Patreon.com backslash with Mandy B. Trev let me know he hated my take on Kaizen out last week. However, wanted to let y'all know what the government is doing to keep us illiterate. Arkansas recently passed a bill, a law actually that goes into effect February 1st, so this week, where they want to keep contraband out of Arkansas prisons, and somehow they have added print media.

So books and magazines are now considered contraband for Arkansas prisons. They do have something where librarians will vet whatever books are in the prisons, but it's considered contraband for it to be sent out. Mind you, little backstory on me. I had a boyfriend when I was 18 years old. I was in high school, and his brother went to jail. I don't know if y'all know my history, but I have been featured in two Straight Stunton magazines. And when I was in Straight Stunton, I did not know that those magazines were

being sent to prison. So this was CaseLake magazine. Sticky Page of Boas. I did. Shout out, breast and peace case slay. Did not know until my boyfriend was like, do you know like who's looking at these magazines? And I was like,

naga, mind you, I'm thinking it's like, King, you can get those in grocery stores, Crogers. I'm thinking like it's on the shelves where magazines are sold. I did not know that Caseley at the time was sending boxes of these magazines for inmates to just jack off on. Inmate number 6969, 699, 699

was in there getting. But yeah, so it's interesting because of course you have that, which I understand could be considered like paraphernalia because you know what men are doing when they read those. But it's interesting to me that they're going as far as

to like other magazines, books and things of that nature. Like it was interesting to me. Now, So just an update on that. I'm just seeing it right now. This literally just happened two hours ago. Apparently there is a hold. It's going to happen still.

There's a hold on this policy. This is, what is this is? This is Five News Online is reporting that there's an administrative rule that needs to be updated before this policy goes into effect. And there's no timeline right now for when it will begin. Oh, so they must have changed because it was supposed to go into effect February 1st. February 1st. saying as of today, some rule needs to change. They don't, they don't specify

what that is. They just call it an administrative rule that needs to be updated before this can be implemented. So it's still going to happen. They just have to finagle the bagel. Also, I know I see a lot of movies and they be hiding weapons and books and all that shit. It's interesting because it does say that most inmates have tablets

which will allow them arrange to download books. So I wonder if it's a safety thing too? I think it's a safety thing. I think part of it is like if you send a book directly to the or if you send something directly to them, maybe you're hiding something. You're hiding something in the book.

So maybe the administrative thing is the amount of pages. Well, because it's interesting, because what's the saying? You want to hide something in plain sight, put it in a book? Literally. You know what I mean? Put it in a book. The only reason I found this kind of weird

is because I just assume that at prisons, they are inspecting anything that comes in the mail through the door. They're opening packages and all that shit too. Now, I get it. Maybe there could be a lot of packages to open and go through. But that's somebody's job there to look at all of this shit

to make sure there's no contraband in it. So I didn't fully understand why all of a sudden books were, like they were unable to do regular security that should be doing on every other package anyway. But I guess they feel like. But I think that might be the thing, right? Because like now it's going to be vetted by librarians. So let's say like the sinister version of it is, you know,

these like Stepford type wide white women vet it. And so like they'll cut off a list of like what goes in and comes out. So it's going to be like no black orthodox. from this time period or know this or whatever. That's crazy. Yeah. And we're not going to get no more Muslims brought out of prison. Exactly, right?

Okay, that was probably, see, everyone. Wow. My bad, that's just, what? You got it. Okay, listen. Listen, we'll get, well. You want to take your shahada, huh? Nope.

I thought she was going to. I thought she was going, you know. My man, listen, listen. Anyways, I say the darnest things and so do celebrities, okay? Where do we want to start here first? You know what, coming off of controversial things, let's get into the Kanye Apology. And now let's get into Cameron, because I don't give up.

I like that. I like how you get that. I do not. Like, first of, there's just so much going on right now. This is top-tier narcissism. Oh, my God. We are dealing with ice. We are dealing with the Orange Cheetah.

We are dealing with people being killed in Minnesota. We are dealing with so much happening right now. We are also being recognized in spaces that we fought. So Golden Globes just happened. We get Oscars. They just nominate 16 nominations for sinners. We're in a place where there's just so many other things to talk about. And Kanye's like, you're not talking about me.

But what about me? And he dominated our fucking ear holes and our visuals for the last 10 years. Your holes got barred by Kanye. Hey, you. Dominated by him. have all that power. Right. Like, he's been dominating this shit for a minute.

So it's like, all right, dude, listen, we fuck with you. Get help. We ride it for you, but we got other shit to worry about, bro. Yeah, big, big other shit. I thought it was also interesting. Well, it was interesting. So Kanye decided to take a full page ad in the Wall Street Journal, and he apologized to black and Jewish folks.

Second time. Hold on. Second time, too, by the way. Go ahead. Give it to me. Because you did write about this. Yeah, I did write about this for Bossip. So my thing with the apology, well, hey, I'll start here.

Hey, yeah, we do have, it's poorly timed and nothing else. Poorly time. And I will say, I don't doubt the sincerity of what he's saying from the standpoint of, like, it's easy to understand that he got into this accident, that they probably had some brain trauma that didn't help whatever mental health issues he already got going on. I get all of that. At this point, the damage has kind of been done. So, you know, if this is him waking up from a hangover, this is also his, like,

511th apology. So like, who knows really even where to place this thing. But yeah, we got other shit going on. This doesn't really matter to anything. Well, interesting, his apologies have been lined up with announcements of products or albums or concerts or shows. And even to that, I'll say, I don't think that I understand how it looks. I don't think these apologies help launch any of those products. I think the people who fuck with Kanye will always fuck with Kanye.

Agreed. Who don't, don't. And you're saying, I'm sorry. is it going to change nobody's mind to sell no product. So if that is his thinking behind it, that's just a bad marketing because that ain't, that's not going to work. Yeah.

But my one issue with the apology is that he spent, granted, he said terrible things about Jewish people. He should apologize to them. But I just felt like he gave them a little bit more sauce in their apology. He gave black people for all the shit he did to us and shit that we feel the type of way about. Because his line for black people was basically like,

oh, man. George Bush don't like black people. Y'all fuck with me for so long. But in the apology, it's like, oh, y'all fuck with me so long. Damn, that's fucked up. I'm sorry, I love us. And then that was it. And then for the Jewish apology, it was like, I'm not anti-Semitic.

I love y'all. And this whole breakdown of what was going on. And I was just like, damn, like, we got like, he gave them a hot song. He gave us a hot line. And I was like, damn, all right. Cool. That's just what it is, I suppose. But, um.

I'm not going to lie. Did not care. Mm-hmm. His apology means nothing to me. That's where most people are flawed. And again, like, so the fuck what. I mean, his music hasn't even been that great. He hasn't.

I mean, if he drops the slides for $20 and they look fine, I still buy him. Like, I just get what, you know what I mean? Like, there's a way he could do this. If he has music coming out, right? You tease people with some new sounds, right? And then that's the lure. Like, oh, shit, yeah, he got some new fly shit, right? But is there a way he could do this still?

Well, he could just talk to somebody. for 10 minutes. It's like, hey, yeah, I'm back. And then slowly do the rollout where he's explaining about all his mental, physical, whatever it is going on. And that's it. But I feel like that probably wouldn't work either because we've probably dealt with that three or four times already. I'm curious to see how forgiving

we are in terms of musicians now, only because we have completely threw away and discarded the baby. But that nigga just dropped some heat. So I am curious to see how this song kind of hits because

it's a good record. And he's dropping a new project. And so I'm curious to see in this economy of, in this state of sensitivity, where once we say we don't want somebody we done, I'm just curious to know if that is cap in 2026 to see if we have a resurgence of the baby. Like, I'm curious to see it.

Why not? I mean, you know, it's a different time. I was always one to say, you're always one song away from being back. Now, in 2006, that is, maybe a little bit tempered because... It's becoming harder to do that now because people are standing on whatever dislike they have for you,

whatever you violated, they're standing on that. But I did just think about something, as we're sitting here talking about this, where this apology came from. Because to me, it was kind of random, and yeah, I know people will say, oh, maybe he has an album coming out or whatever. But the more I think about it,

this might be a response to the Manosphere clown car that just got hemmed up in Miami between Andrew Tate and Myron Gaines and Nick Quentin. They're in a sprinter, they're all going to the clubs. All my niggins, Hild Hitler and all this wild shit. Which was an unreleased

year record. Which was an unreleased yet record that wasn't ever released, but he did this yet. So now that I'm thinking about it, this as much as anything else might be a response to that more than even an album coming out or some new Yeezy merch coming out. Because

if he is in a place where let's just say he does, he has waking up from his manic state and he feels fucked up and his video comes out and these three clowns who are part of like the denigration of the public discourse

around anything that's actually serious he might actually be looking at it like damn this is my legacy this is what I've done I've inserted this into American culture and now these niggas are running around talking about how Hitler I mean,

me there was someone left out of the apology to me which would have made it seem like he meant it for real there was no apology to his ex-wife the mother of his children or his kids yeah so to me when they put their neck out to apologize for you when you've done all the shit that you've done to disgrace them and and if you're going to apologize to black people who are strangers to you right apologize to the Jewish community, when you've had people actually try to apologize on your behalf, you also apologize to the people that are

really directly impacted by your behavior, by your actions. He should have said all of them. And so to me, if you didn't, then what is it? Yeah, because he should have said Jayze and Beyonce's name. Blue Ivy's name. Like, he talked crazy about that girl. Yeah, like, you should have said all those people's name. And I think he was spot on. Specifically, who

you damaged and what the apology. I'm not going to lie then, you're right. I didn't even think to make that connection. That resurfaced and it put his name back into the bullshit. Into the bullshit. Because they don't know the timeline when these records come out. They don't know. Oh my gosh.

What is this? I thought this. He's like, whoa, no, listen. Right. Into the bullshit. Yeah.

Go. Hey there. This is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the mailroom podcast. Each January guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger. Work harder.

Fix. What's broken? But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down. with Dr. Steve Poulter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught the name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real

strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and compassion. If you want this, to be the year you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath? Listen to the mailroom on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. Every January, we're encouraged to start over,

but what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help? I'm Mike De La Rocha. host of sacred lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating stress, emotional health, fatherhood, identity,

and the unspoken pressures were taught to carry alone. We talk honestly about mental health, about healing generational wounds, and about learning how to show up with more presence and care.

Listen to broken play with Navgreen from the Black Effect Podcast Network On the IHeart Radio app Apple Podcasts or whatever you get your podcast This is Writer Strong And I have a new podcast called The Red Weather It was many and many a year ago In a kingdom by the sea

In 1995 my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune It was hard to wrap your head around It was nature and trees and praying I'm in drugs. So no, I am not your guru. And back then, I lied to my parents, I lied to police, I lied to everybody.

There were years right where I could not say your name. I've decided to go back to my hometown in Northern California, interview my friends, family, talk to police, journalists, whomever I can, to try to find out what actually happened. Isn't it a little bit weird that they obsess over hippies in the woods and not the obvious boyfriend? They have had this case for 30 years. I'll teach you sons of

come around her in my wife. Boom, boom. This is the red weather. Listen to the red weather on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Quick thing, actually,

because we're not going to really get much into it. Because I don't feel any way about him, but this is also me leaning into my hypocrisy. So I just want to be real hypocritical right now. Okay, so last week, World Boxing Association Dean Gervante Tank. Davis, the lightweight champion in recess. This is after a warrant was issued for the boxer by Miami Police in connection to October

2025 incident relating to domestic violence. Now, he does have a history of assault in Florida with the most recent occurring in July of last year. He was accused of hitting the mother of his children. Now, this means that they are removing his title as of right now, but it also means that if he's cleared of charges or once cleared of charges, his next fight will be a title shot against whoever becomes the WBA lightweight champion.

Now, when I first read this, I said, good. Take that nigga title because he out here hitting women. And then? I was wearing a Chris Brown shirt. Damn. And, bitch, I go to all his concerts and said, y'all better forget that man. And the Grammys better dominate him, which he is nominated again. And so there is this bias.

Because also, I like, I love Christopher Maurice Brown, and he could do no wrong in my eye. But when I saw this immediately, I was like, yeah, that's what? Consequences. No, uncle? But I guess when reading it, too, the fact that if he's cleared of these charges, that he can have a title shot again, it is also in relation to then

Chris Brown now finally being nominated again for a Grammy with his song with Bryson Tillett so there's been forgiveness there's been charges you know he's done his community service and things like that but yeah I had that quick little quick little

I mean the thing about it is is that like who knows when he's going to get to defend that title because right now to my knowledge he's still on the run oh and and as if a A recording time. As of this recording, he has not been found. He is on the run from the feds.

So, like, by the time they catch his ass, adjudicate this case. Well, apparently his next fight going to be against Miami PD. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, you know, like. It ain't going to be against the lightweight champion. It's going to be against the Popo's. Yeah. It's going to be against 12.

So, like, there's no, it could be years before he fights again. Okay. And then I wonder if even the World Boxing Association wants to be associated with whatever with whatever happened. Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay. You know, I think, I think, too, like, this would probably be, like, another episode,

but, like, the, like, you know, Chris Brown is, like, independent contractor, right? Whereas, like, Tank Davis is a part of a... He's a part of an association. And I think, like, when we talk about, like, the Aidan Ross's and kind of, like, a lot of these other people that we talk about, like, you know, they have sort of, like, this independent power base that allows them to get away with shit. You know what I mean? Or just lessen the consequences of that action. Malad.

I mean, I guess we can compare this as well to the NFL. which I mean by the way this is not a sports pod this is not this is not a sports pod however you stack in sports however I don't know if y'all saw the conspiracies about there's a there's a photo posted by the NFL back before the season and it has the sea hawks and the Patriots all the way in the front but also Safon digs trial for domestic violence and beating a woman was also pushed to after Super Bowl, which led people to believe, oh, yeah, the Patriots going to the Super Bowl, because why else? The trial was supposed to take place in January. Is this script? There's a script.

Damn. Go Seahawks. Listen. Go Seahawks. Word. Listen, by the way, I know you in Jersey, but you rep in New York. Did you not see that they lit the Empire

State building Patriots color? I did see that. Yep. But it does that. They'll do Celtics colors. if they want to like the East of Constant States. Yeah, they do. They're very...

Empire State, yeah. They're very... Empire State Building and controller. They just show them up. They're a ops. That's crazy. Which, by the way, I had a friend

who dated a guy who worked at some hedge fund company. Uh-oh. Some wild shit. And he came over and did some dope-ass shit. So there's an app in New York if you work for this company that you can literally

on your phone change the lights to whatever. So he said the niggas at this company used to take girls on dates where they could see the Empire State Building. And we would do it for my balcony. So he was like, nah, give me a color right now. What's your favorite color?

Mind you, we're looking at the Empire State Building from my balcony in New York. And I'm like... Balding. Purple. Literally, he pressed the app and the top of the Empire State Building would turn purple. I'd be like, no way, no way. And we went through everyone on the balcony

and he would change it the color. So he was like, yo, there's this restaurant where the guys take all their dates to because, nigga, you get to control and you get to control the fucking Empire State Building and color. It's not a bad. But what's the reward?

You said what now? What's the reward for that? Nigger, my pussy jump. Oh, that's why I said. What did that do for you? That's a bad. Some gawk-gawk 3,000 or something. You know, the beauty.

I just changed the building, nigga. The color that you wanted it. It gave this man and he wasn't my man but my man but my nigga was like, hey yo yo yeah, chill with all that color changing nigga. But it was like, I was like, oh this is cute. That's not a bad flex.

This is cute. All right, last topic, let's get it to it. Cameron recently had a conversation with his ex-Calli O'Day on his talk with Lee's show on Revolt in mid-episode. Somehow this bitch made me agree with goddamn Cameron. And I said

who is this bitch? Anyways, let's play the clip of what took place before we dive into it. I don't need nobody to protect and provide for me. I'm not looking for that. I'm just trying to say. I wouldn't expect that. So as a woman, if I share my body with a man, I shouldn't expect him to want to protect and provide for me.

That's what you would teach your daughter. That's what you would teach your daughter. Oh, teach her daughter. I'm sorry. She just had a with a man that doesn't want to protect and provide for her. Like what? The problem is. You want to protect the provide?

You think men and women are equal? No, what I'm trying to sell me is this. For me, I rather invest in my female than give my female. And that's the problem. Never invested in me. Because you had bad investments. That's why you're in nursing school. That's not why I'm in nursing school.

I've been working on my nursing degree since 2019. Why you don't have it yet? I opened the business to help me get through nursing school. Nope. Because I needed a passive income. Which was a bad investment. She could have walked it back. The cricket.

The cricket. The cricket. This nigga Kim, man. She tried to throw the daughter. You wouldn't do that to your daughter. Yeah, yeah, no. I didn't like that. He waited for her.

Here's the thing, too. As women, we have to understand and get to a place where we watch our tone and delivery. And I think here we saw a clear example of, can I'm keeping calm. and her making it more emotional than it needed to be. I also think it's interesting for her to say, I started a business to get myself through nursing school.

Here's the thing, nursing school, for those of you who don't know, one or two years for nursing school. She's been in it since 2019. As of today is 2026, she still does not have that nursing degree. So I agree there was a bad investment made, but also this idea that you want to start a business to get passive income, for an actual degree.

I've told y'all a lot of this time, stay with your day job. Get that degree and have that degree and that source of money, pay for you investing. You putting everything in. Businesses don't just guarantee passive income. That's another like thing,

and maybe Cam was able to actually see, like, oh. Don't nobody want to buy your candles? I don't think it's a good investment. A business is a liability until it's an asset. Ooh. And it is. A business is a liability.

until it's an asset. God damn, this podcast is a liability. This podcast is fucking a liability, y'all. That's a cost. You're in the red until you're in the black. Like, that's just what it is. So, yeah, I don't understand that. But I have to acknowledge this first.

The way Cam said my female is crazy. That sounded nuts. I'd rather invest my female. than give my female. I mean, her thing is still talk like this. They were like, what? I don't like that it was giving cave man. Yeah, it did.

That sounded real Geico, it sounded real, like, Latino man, like, sounded real crazy. But part of it, too, he has a hint of sarcasm. Yeah, 100%. The exes, right? That's a polite way to say it. She was clearly triggered by whatever the Congress thing. She was triggered by this conversation.

That's where that attitude comes. Her triggering was actually, it sounds like she had some unresolved issues. She was mad cam and giving her more money. They've had that argument several times. That was not the first time they ever had a choice to get up on that platform, too. Well, yeah. But the mistake she made was, like, she walked into the nursing school line, though. Oh, yeah.

And she couldn't take it back. Dead smack into that. I was trying to get it in 2019. 2019. Why don't you say that to Cameron on a public gate on? That's crazy. That was all of you. My thing is, knowing that these conversations were probably being had already,

girl, you want to take this on a pie? To the streets? Yeah, that's what I want to ask. Did you all see when the game was on with Sheney Harrison? Oh, no, that was even more embarrassing. Because that was the same thing. It's like conversations they had in private

that they re-litigating. I'm not going to lie because the game is the homie. Oh, the game? Yeah, that's the homie. But I knew I ain't made no baby with him. Right. Hold on. I think he a cool guy.

I don't know about. Red rope. Hardiner. Red rope. It's just an idea of having those conversations. You got to realize Sheneas talked about the things that she wanted, had the baby by him,

also the embarrassment of him at his big age saying, well, you a baddie. So we as men look at baddies and just want to make them baby mama. That was crazy. But also as a woman who is 30, you're no longer a spring chicken.

He has three kids with another woman that he never made a wife. So you, again, women have this illusion that they're going to be the one. They're going to change. And also, if you've had enough conversations with them, girl, who did you think he was going to change by bringing a baby into this world? You thought he was going to turn into a whole new man?

Like, if you talk to game, game is game. She knew. She knew. So there's also a bit of like lack of empathy for me. But I have a question, but do they know, though? Because like, with her and with Cam's girl, like, but when you're in a relationship, you're clearly like rose tinted lenses the way you're looking at you man. She's not a rose-tinted lens when your mama then dated an NBA player, baseball player, NFL player.

Like, she'd have been around. Yeah, yeah. She got enough game to give. Yeah, like, I just feel like, listen, I don't, you can't, we'll never know what type of conversations they had, how they found romance or whatever the fuck they want to call it. But like, you should go into those situations just being like, all right. He's going to try to take advantage of me. I'm going to try to take advantage of him, and even if he changes no robbery.

Oh, my God. Like, you can't go into a relationship with a nigga like any of these niggas and feel like, oh, but he really loves me and I really love him. You shouldn't even be entertaining that kind of shit with these type of niggas. You should just be going in there saying, I'm going to have a good time. He's going to have a good time. I'm going to give up some pussy. He's going to give up some money.

We're going to go on vacations and hang out for a little while. And when this shit ends, it ends. and I got to make sure I don't get pregnant and get stuck with this nigga and his bullshit. Well, the even exchange, too, with a man with money and power, often is the assumption that you're going to get some money. It was very clear by what Chenice was saying that she wanted some level of emotional intelligence

and protection from game that he wasn't offering this relationship. And I'm not saying she doesn't deserve that. I'm just saying you're going to get that from him? Like, listen, listen, we talked about... We talked about when he was on Kirk Franklin thing. He's working through it. He's working through it. By the time he's 60, he'll get there.

He's working through it. Jesus Christ. Work on, player. Work on. Well, y'all, this was fun. It was. Hope y'all enjoyed. Did you even tell?
