it on us. Don't get twisted on code and me and danceing for no fundamental biscuits. It's Willie d y'all scar faces in the building. Collectively we are the Ghetto Boys, drunk and reloaded with another episode of information and instructions to help you navigate through this wild, crazy, beautiful world in the studio. Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto Boys as Strokes World Champions two thousand twenty two. Willie, what's going on? We being here too long? It's been a safe fanly we've

been We've been partying like all week long. Y'all don't understand how electrifying the energy is in Houston. Right now, like we're going hard and we're gonna keep it going. I'm gonna keep it going. I'm gonna keep it going for the people, for the people, for the people. Willie what happened, man explained, Man, you know you can't just good, So when you reach a certain point in life, you

gotta have a cut off. Okay, okay, I'm feeling that, and I finally reached my cut off, man, Like I'm never drinking alcohol ever again in life, Like you know how Mothercker's said, Man, I was having drunk. No, I was wholly drunk. I was gone, Man, some interesting ship.

I don't want to talk. I don't even want to tell nobody because they're gonna be like, oh no, man, Man, I was drinking fucking uh tequila kasa omigo, and I was drinking a lot of it, and I don't well, I had to get it rude home okay from the police because he didn't want to take me to jail. That that reads a privilege police teck y'all way said, way out there, nice because I didn't want to. I was sucked up. But um, we're at you, okay. I'm

glad to be Okay, it's some strange ship happening. Um, besides your birthday weekend we had I don't even want to talk about that. Oh god, yeah man, uh well, I will say that you know how to throw a party? Mm hmmm. I don't know how to throw a party. I don't know. That's my last party. I'm not throwing no parties. Yeah yeah, so we had, you know, the judges, like all all the judges, the black girl magic judges they want yeah um yeah um, real talk, real talk, um.

Shout out to everybody that went out and voted and supported that cause. Congratulations ladies into the city of Houston County, Harris County for sure. Yeah. App saluting you know much long to the people that take time out to go vote even though they're trying to make that ship even more tougher and then it already is. You see that ship? Yeah what what what about them making it tougher? Stood

out the most year? Okay, So first and foremost, this long ass ballot and like the like the computer, and you gotta just you can't just go one ticket. You can't just click Democratic Party or Republican Party. You gotta go through each individual name separately. And if it's a thousand if you live in Harris County, you know it's a thousand people on this list, right, So you just gotta you just gotta be in there, clicking away, clicking away,

clicking away, clicking away, clicking away. And then you gotta take that sheet of paper, two sheets of paper, mind you, and you gotta stick the paper in the machine, watching paint dry. Then they come back with all the ship that you put in the computer on the piece of paper. Then you gotta stick the other piece of paper in

in the computer. You gotta watch paint dry again, and then it'll get you back the ship you're put in the computer and with your with your with your key in and then you gotta turn around and walk to another fucking machine and put your papers in it. Mm hmm.

And then before you even even before that, you gotta wait in the long ends line, which is I'm not mad at the line, but don't don't you know every he listened to me, Willie, it's like every fucking time, you know, every time we get right there, oh man for the grandst sucking boy, and motherfucker's raised that bit so you can't touch it. Why why bro Um, I would say, intrinsic intrinsic wickedness. That's fucking cold blood man. It's like every time you they're like, oh, no, motherfucker

Tiger Woods hitting the ball too, goddamn fall. We're gonna push your tea box back. Uh uh. Black people getting too much motherfucking money wrapping. We're find of take all the music at the stoves and no uniggas ain't got no computer, so catch up, you know that kind of ship, all the mom and pops go on. Now you know what I'm saying, Like, it's just wow, man, It's like every time you get to that point, it's another point

to be reached. But you know what the other side to that coin is, just like if we were both playing on a A wop side of basketball, go we both got to make the ball go through that hole. So just like the voters, uh Democratic voters who upset with with them, you know, trying to change the rules and all of that stuff and make it harder, trying to suppress the votes or whatever, just like they have to send in that long line, just like they have to go through that process of hitting one each button

one at a time. Republicans and everybody else have to go through the same thing. So and and so so I think I think that, um, you're not putting a Democratic Republican on this ship under Well, true, we have to go through the same ship man, But I think that some people have more time and more patience than others. Yeah, and the point that yeah and so and so too much. As given much is required and you're giving that vote, then they're gonna require more for that vote. Then that's

what it is. If they want more for the vote, then everybody as long as everybody has to meet those same requirements, it is what it is. And you know, if if you think that your vote matters that much, if you value the vote value, if you value the process that much, if you value the political process and democracy that much, then you just deal with it. I value value the political process. But sometimes it feels like we, well I can't say we as Democrats or we as

whatever we are, are dumb as fish. You know how you how you throw your line in the water, man, you catch your fish, man, and you you're marked him or fucking you throw it back and now and then you throw your line back out there and you catch that My fucking it's the same fish I feel like that's what what happens to us um at election time, because they court the funk out of you until they get what it is they want for They court man, come around to the back folks when campaigns and the

black votes. Yeah, I said that should vote a man they don't know. Yeah, they can't do jack folk. Yeah, I guess it's true. We tell me you don't fight fat. You turn my get to fantasy into a night man that ship the ghetto fantasy. I said that only on ghetto fantasy. When we we we we we years ago? That a long I don't know, that's I can't remember ship. I am still drunk for years ago. Yeah, I'm still

dropped from from the week. But they court us until they get what they want from us, and then they don't know you no more until it's time to run again. So whose fault is that? Though? Whose fat is that? Let me finish, That's what I'm saying, let me finish. I feel like we fish get caught in the same ship over and over and we're not getting nothing for it. See what I'm saying, Like, what are we getting for it?

And I'm asking this question because I want to know I'm asking you the question, like, what are we getting for our vote? You know, Um, I'm not talking about nobody else, Willie. I'm talking about let's say, okay, Democrat, what are we getting for that vote? What are we getting for that Democratic vote? The same thing you're getting for the Republican bullshit. The Republicans is getting ship done. Bullshit, that's bullshit. What what What are the Republicans doing whatever

the fun they want to do? What are they doing for black nothing? That's my point. I'm talking about what we're getting. We ain't getting shipped, okay, alright with republic and our Democrats, we ain't getting ship man, they overturned. Feel good is in. I'm part of the voters process. You get, you get to feel good. I would never I would never, um, fix my mouth, tell somebody my nigga, don't go vote money, you know, don't do that, don't

go vote. I would never do that, Willie. So so we like holding on right now, we're voting just to hold on until we can get our ship together. I don't think we're gonna get our ship together. It's not enough of us who give a fuck about getting all ship together to get our ship together, Okay, like as grown men, as grown older men like you and I. We have grown up so we can look back. We can look back at at what's behind us, and we know we need fucking trouble, Willie. We're in trouble as

the people were in trouble. I'm looking back. I'm looking back at Don't get me wrong, though, it's some great, great kids out there that's making some strong ass moves. But that other ship that's going on out there were in trouble. Okay, what what is this other ship? Man? Really dying for nothing? Bro? Mm hmm. Dane by accident, Brom.

Wake up in the morning wanting to die, you know, waking up in the morning, wanting to be uh put on the T shirt, you know, wake up in the morning wanting to kill um another young brother because he ate ops mm hmmm. No, And I'm talking about I was it this was it? Was it that bad when we were growing up? No, it was it wasn't wasn't man, it wasn't. I know. I try to be as objective about this as possible. Just it just was not. That ship is bad, bro. And then the cold part about it,

at least when we was on some street ship. We still had direction, you see what I'm saying, Like we was on some street ship, but we knew that we was gonna get out. We were we wanted to get out of this ship. And for the most part that was a certain unwritten code. Certain chips you just don't do. Certain people don't go. They don't go, period, they don't. And I'll be telling I'll be telling, Um, I'm telling uh kids, and I tell some of the homies too, man.

Like it's some it's some people, um that you just have to respect and give a pass to because they don't go, you know what I mean, Like like women and children don't go. Um, the elderly don't go. Up. Respected people respected people we respected, you know what I mean, Like like like Williams respected. You know, face is respected, Um, chief and the mayor respected. It's just certain people that just don't go. And the generation that's that's behind us

don't give a funk about none of that. And why is why is it that the trip part about it that statement that you made, is that some people wear that like that statement like a badge of honor. Man, we young mean, we don't, we don't give a fuck. Were young man. It's young side. I know that's your thing. But man, but but we aso man, we don't give a fuck. What why is that view to some people by something people as ad some type of badge of honor.

I remember speaking to a group once at at an alternative school, and it's a school where they take the kids, where they send the kids or supposedly bad the bad kids. Right trying to speaking to these kids, and I asked them, how many people in here see themselves? I mean, what do you see yourself? That's what I said, What do you see to see yourselves in ten years? I want

you to ask that question, answer that question. And one at a time they raise their hands and and they gave the answer like I don't I had Like that was maybe it was a room or maybe twenty five kids, and probably maybe two kids saw themselves in twenty years, you know, their future, and twenty years like like how to night dear? What what they wanted to do in twenty years? And what I say about that is, if you can't see yourself in the future, you're probably not

going to be in the future, damn. Like you have to envision yourself alive and well and doing things, being constructive, having a family. You know, like where you're gonna live, you know, like what kind of career you're gonna have. You gotta have an idea of that. At least you have to at least say to yourself, this is what I want out of life. But to just wake up every day aimlessly, not not having any kind of plans, no idea, whatever you want to do, put that very dangerous.

I put the blame on us, the parents. You know why. Yeah, because the first thing that we say is I don't want my kids had to go through what I went through growing up and and and looking back on the ship. We may have babied them to to a certain extent, to to where that we you know, to any film privilege, that's true. But most I do believe most of the kids that's doing the killing, really taking part in all of the violence and the robberish and ship like that,

these are kids that have been neglected. These are not kids that were protected. These are kids who have been neglected, who have been abandoned. Uh. You know, kids who was raised by their grandparents, mom and jail dad and jail dead whatever. These are kids that have been neglected. You know that were discarded basically by society, not just parents, not just their parents, but also society at large. Look

at the school system. You know, the school system is really a baby, you know, it's it's like a nursery. It's really not dad to really like when these kids coming to school, to school is not yet you're come on in, We're gonna make you great. You come on in, We're gonna we're gonna hone your skills and your your life skills and show you how to become productive, if good,

you know, law abiding citizens or whatever. You know. I know that's not totally the school's responsibility, but the kids spend you know, seven eight hours a day in these schools, and so they gotta be they gotta be taught real life skills, not just stuff to not just stuff to get by and make the time go by and just to make them just seem like they're smart or whatever. They gotta be taught real life skills. Why is it that these kids are not being taught uh, entrepreneurship. Why

are they not being taught trades? They were being taught trades at one point and they took them out of the schools. Why not? Why are they not being taught about credit? Why not? Why are they not being taught conflict resolution? That's more important than fucking science. That's more. That's more important in science, that's more. That's that's more important than um um, you know, biology and all that

ship you're not gonna use, you're not. I was having a conversation with somebody um the other day, and we was talking about everything that we needed, what we needed from school. You know what did we actually take from school that we used today? And I was like, ship, I mean, I take counting. I took counting from school. I took reading, um, vocabulary, language usage, and ship like that. But but in the history, I know my history. But imagine, I mean, what what what can you do with history

besides just know it. I was about to say, you don't need history to to to like make it in the world, Like you don't need to know history. But what you what you do need to know is mathematic And I know somebody screaming right now, you know, you know you don't know history, don't know where you came from, you don't know, you know, you don't need to know who the hell Frederick Douglas is are Andrew Jackson is to to to actually make it through through a day

in in this society. You don't need to know that. What what you do need to know is understand is how to read. You need to know mathematics, you need you need to know, you need to know um uh, you need to be able to know how to communicate effectively and and but you also need to know conflict resolution skills. See, that's one of the biggest things you don't know you need to see, man C C C. I'm just saying, but I don't need to be speaking

on it if I don't know about it now. Just because I know conflict resolution, don't mean that you know I'm gonna do the right thing all the time. But I understand conflict resolution. You don't get to be fifty six being a damn food you see what I'm saying. Yeah, and your ass right behind me by high school, your answers right behind by high school. You're right behind me.

But these kids, they do need to learn conflict resolution, because what good is it that, Okay, you went to you know, you got a job, you got a career, you got a lot of money and ship, but you just got got smoked over nothing. Over a petty over a petty argument, something that didn't mean nothing. You just got smoked. It means nothing. You know, all that money, you can't take that money to grade with you. That money ain't gonna bring you back alive. The money ain't

gonna do CPR. None of that. Yeah, none of that. So so they need the kids need to be taught real life skills that can help them navigate through this wild, crazy, beautiful Worldloged podcast will be right back after the poet. Man, let's talk about your boy. Ted Cruise got that bill thrown upside his head. Well he didn't, He didn't hit his head. He was able to like knock it down or whatever. But he blocked that ship. He blocked it. But man, the person who threw that bill, please DM

me get in touch with me. Man. I like to buy you a bill. I like to give you that beer back. I need to hold on a second. Um so, so no, listen, man, I don't, I don't. I don't. I don't, I don't, I don't. Um, I don't dislike Ted Cruise. Do you like him? I listen to what I was saying, Willie, I don't dislike Ted Cruise enough to exert my energy throwing a beer at him. You know that's a four dollar beer. I could have drunk that bill. But you are are you upset that somebody

did dislike him enough? I'm talking about man, I got that. And if people out there, if you don't know who this guy is, you should google with him. Um. Are you happy that the beer was throng? I wouldn't have thrown it, but are you happy that it was thrown? Are you the question you can't ask? You can't ask a question with a question. I don't ask the question first and then you can ask. Okay, I'm happy, man, that's what I want to hear. Okay, I'm happy to

hear this. I wish they were asking here with the with a beer can Okay, all right, that's what you want to hear. Rock That's fast. I know, I don't. I'm tired of talking to this brad dude. Man, yeah, he uh goddamn Brad playing golf and ship, going the foundation fundraising and ship and wearing uh golf shoes to the grocery store and ship. You know, it's just type of ship. Throw me playing the good tarn ship? You know, I how weird? Scar Face I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go, Willie,

talk to me. I need to talk to scar Face. Go get go, get scar Face. Hold on, bring scar Face back in this room. Five seconds later, here motherfucker was having it. No man, I'm glad he got hit with the beer. Okay, but wait a minute, hold up, hold up, here's the thirty way. That's the same guy that when we had to freeze. He was on the plane going to can Coo. Wait a minute, but instead of him saying yeah, I didn't want my family and that ship, he said, yeah, my daughter and my family

wanted to go to can Coo. So he threw his family under the bus. Willie. I don't respect no man that would throw his family and that, like, yeah, you'll push your family on the front of a train. This ain't your ass, you know. The dude though, I don't think he I think his family is just I think they're just placeholders, you know, for for his political aspirations. And here's why I say that, because look at how he allowed Trump to talk about his Trump like a dog. Man.

Look him, man, This dude has no spine and man talked about his daddy kind of man. Look him, man, if Trump would have said any motherfucking thing about anybody, ain't no way I was gonna ride with it. As a matter of fact, if I was in this guy's position, I got to put my hands on that motherfucker. Yeah, he ain't built like that, I am. He's not what you said that And Mattress Mac is tour and Mattress match Mats Mattress Macks with the ship Mattress Max say

fuck you twice. Fuck you, bro. We're on the float right going on during our parade. Congratulations to the astros, uh, Dusty Baker, Reggie Jackson and Mr Crane and the whole staff. Congratulations to y'all. But man, when we would ride by him, he was on there. You heard him like, they was glad to see us. It was glad to see Slim, They was glad to see Bunn. They was glad to see Paul and Johnny dangerous. But man, when they saw Mattress Mac, Mattress Mac, Mattress Mac like that ship, he

went hard for that ship. Yeah. I told I told, I told Mac that he needed that for his legacy. No ship like, yeah, that was good. You know, that's that's that's a that's a Cheerry on top moment. I'm going to produce a record for him and write a record for him, and um let y'all let him, let him streaming and just just donate all of the proceeds

to whatever foundation he wants to donated to. But he deserves to have a song, and we need somebody really funny to write it, like Devon or somebody like somebody that's really, really, really funny. He already said he would he back mac Man this this dude back to Ted Cruise though Man Ted Cruise, like like that moment at the parade was so beautiful. He's the only person in the entire city of Houston who got booed at the parade. Nobody else, no other politician, no artists, no business person,

no nobody got booed except him. Besides him. There was no problems at the parade period. Nobody likes this guy. In the hell does he get elected? I just believe that they gotta be. He's probably running in a section of the city that where he's accepted. You see what I'm saying. Like those congressmen and those senators, they are they they got small um blocks of in the city

that they hold down you see what I'm saying. So maybe his block is down with his ship, yeo, because if he you know what, like if I ran against Ted Crews, I got in the race with him and and A and a and ran as an independent with him with a with a Democrat, you would run as an independent, I would just the fuck's vote up the Democrat and then yeah, it might suck the Democratic, but I really, he's not gonna he's not gonna affect him. I want to affect him. I might just run against

him as a Democrat then just the fun. But then yeah, I gotta get us. You have to switch up. You have to run, you have to infiltrate the Republican boardy. I don't even look like a Republican man. Where you don't have to look like a Republican. All you got to do is sound like a Republican. I don't know. Well, I'm I don't look like a Republican like I'm I'm, I'm, but I'm not. Um. I have some conservative absolutely, yeah, I do. Well, we all do, if you want to

be honest. Yeah, but I don't look I don't. I don't fit the description of a Republican man because I would not. I would not, I would not, so my mouth shut to watch your starff. You know why most black people don't vote Republican in my opinion, because these Nazi boys and Proud Boys and KKK, they're too comfortable in the Republican Party. And it's as simple as that.

Because we got a lot of conservative views. We got a lot of conservative views, a lot you know, like, but when it comes to that piece right there, that's the piece that say, Yo, if they're in that party, I don't want to be in it, you know how. I don't agree with that. But you know how, sometimes you can hear about a party and it's going down and you find out somebody that you don't really mess with. I ain't going. I ain't going. I don't I don't

care what y'all doing. I'm not going. Well, here's the thing, Willie, you gotta you gotta kind of pull that back because we we we we we we prayed to the you know, the same god. We believe in the same god as though is those Proud Boys and those we're telling Christians, you're gonna tell me, You're gonna tell me that they don't cleaning their guns and their Bibles they do. Okay, what do you mean if they don't believe in the

same God, what the hell is it impossible? It's it's impossible to believe in the same God and have the type of this and the type of energy that they have for human beings. It's impossible. My God, that's done. Huh, they're doing it. Nah. Like I said, it's my opinion that they prayed to the devil, not God. That's my opinion for the devil, that the God that the devils got to be that God because of the stuff that

they do to human beings, it got to be. Well, I know, we need to start changing advantage if I write the vote because they're shaving be gone. Hey man, you see them, you see all the seats leaving. Yeah, they did it to themselves though they had it. Man, they had to slam dunk. You know, they slammed dunk. I mean they had it, man, they had The Democrats had it. They had it, and again once again they they took the black boat for granted, and they got

what they got. You know, they just they're just not built in my opinion. Uh, they're not built to last. They're just not built the last. Like me if I if I if I get on top, if I'm winning, I want to destroy my opponent. I am going to suck all of the life out of them. If I put my foot on their neck, I am going to keep it there until it snaps and they stopped moving. I'm not letting them off the hook at all. I'm

not gonna relax. And the Democrats, when they get what they want, they start relaxing and think it's all good. And not just the the the elected officials, but their constituents also. They just relaxed. That's that's why they don't have any follow through. There's no follow through, so that's no self accounting, that's no accountability. They think that as soon as I when I vote, that's it. When I vote, my vote is so powerful that all I gotta do

is vote, and things are gonna go my way. And then when things don't go that way, they get discouraged and they don't they don't want to vote at all. They go and just jump ship. But what those Republicans do, Oh, it didn't happen this time. We're going harder next time. We're gonna go harder next time. But the biggest thing that they do is hold their elected officials accountable. And the Democrats ain't got that in there they and when

when they do. When you do have Democrats who try to hold elected officials accountable, the here come to gatekeepers telling you shut up, be quiet, I got this. I'm gonna talk to him. I got it. I'm representing us, I got it, and nothing gets done. Yeah. No. The one of the biggest that's one of the biggest problems with the Democratic Party is the the gatekeepers. The gatekeepers, they say, look, man, this is what we got, what was what we got going on, this is what we're doing,

and I'm gonna take care of you. I need you to take care of them. Keep them in lighting. That's what's happening. Yeah, that's what's happening. Hey, did you hear about that? The story of the guy who shot the chick with the a K forty seven in Denver? Don't do what? So this girl was walking her name is uh, what's her name Isabella? I can't say, I can't remember her last name. But she was walking her dog with her boyfriend, dude named Darien. And this the neighbor uh

he he uh took a fense to their dog. Taking up dump you know, near his apartment complex. And they he told her, you know, he yelled at her about it, and the chick told him, mind your business. Dude got an a K for the seven and dumped on him twenty five times, dumped on her and the dude and killed her. The dude survived, but this happened in but they just gave him a life sentence. It took him that long to get a life couple of years. You know, you gotta go through the trial phase and all that

kind of stuff. But yeah, um, should they should? Well, yeah, that that's that's pretty fucked up. The guy that you heard about the way they got stabbed on the metro rail and and and and she died. Yeah, okay, well lady got apped on the metro reel and then later died from her injury injuries and Metro Houston. Yeah, on the Metro rel metro link or whatever that she does. And man, do you know that that was my best friend growing up? Yeah, m hmm, that was my best

friend growing up. That was he did that? Uh when I saw his um mug shot and um him dressed in in in the county clothes or whatever. You know, how when they showed us the suspect on TV or some ship. You know what I thought to myself, Willie, I said, Man, that could have been me, like a motherfucker, because we was that tight. You know, we was that tight. We we we we we stole cause we smoked, read, we skipped school, we got drunk, we was we was there in my partner. But you'd be surprised. Man, what

what what people will do? And what's the fund is going on in your mind when you're doing this ship? Why would you do this? You know? Um shot? Yeah, when's the last time you spoke to him? I just spoke to him on his birthday August to ten. And did he seem to have any type of mental issues? Oh? He's fucking batshit crazy, you know. But I don't know man. Yeah, but that yeah, funked it up. It's all bad. But we are in we living in the world Willie, where

we really gotta be on guard. Do you remember that saying when them when them people, when the when the Musketeers, whether would jump over there? So guard, bro, we gotta be on guard because it's going down. You know. The trip part about it is that you've got some people who think that all they gotta do is lock folks up and they're gonna be safe. And they think that all I gotta do is get behind my gated community.

And I'm good that happen. Yeah. Yeah. And the thing about it is that either you go out there and you're gonna encounter that, or they're gonna come in and there because they're kicking the indoors. Now, it don't matter if you live in a gated community. It slows down stuff. Don't get it wrong, but uh, it don't necessarily stop anything. And like Americans, I just really believe that, like everything starts at the top. Yeah, you can say it starts at home. But you know, the people at the top,

they know what they're doing. They know what they did the wickedness, they know, they know what they are absolutely playing it. By the way, it was design. It's not by it's not by accident. It's by design. Man. Yeah.

And to your point, you notice how when they really want the people to come together for a certain cause or whatever whatever it is, they can they're flat flood the you know, the gates with um news reports and people saying good things and showing all these acts of random acts of kindness and everything and everything, and then you feel this sense of community. You know, all of the stations doing the national stations and then then the

local stations. You see that. You see it everywhere. People coming together seems to be it seems to be a calm right like, and everybody seems to be like they're coming together. And then next thing you know, bam bam, it's they're back at it again, and so they know what they're doing. The people at the top. Uh, leadership starts at the Toploted podcast will be right back after the street. You know what, Willie, puppet master never meant that word. Puppet master has never meant so much to me.

Like it didn't mean as much to me back then as it does right now. Like Willie, we're being controlled by the puppet master. Bro, we're puppets. You know, you're looking look at the chain of command. Will you look at the chain of command? You know, look at the powers that be, and look who they control and look who like we we we got a fucking puppet master hanging hanging over the stage, pulling the strings and making people move. And that's how you get a hershel walker. Man.

You see that ship and they're in a run they go to a runoff. That's how you get a Hershel hershel Walker asked you to runoff. Hold on, hold on with old. I gotta say this, man, don't be mad, stop up your years. Oh herschel Walker ass nigga, don't laugh, Willie fucking herschel Walker ass nigga. This nigga can't even talk man like that's the that's the epitome of the word nigga. Like, get the funk out of here, man. And it's oh man, I hate to say this, man. Oh,

I don't want to say that. I can't say it. They're gonna they're gonna cancel. You gotta see it, man. Okay, So this big belly motherfucker Donald, He's gonna brand here, he gonna roll his fan ass in there, and and and and endorse this fucking illiterate ass uh chimp. And what does this fucking uh black face painting on lipstick dancing ass nigga do get out there and dancing in front of master man Herschel Man, you are fucking disappointment. Man.

That what the means? That means may be coming by me, Brad that I didn't want to run for the offense, and I didn't want to run for the offense. And um, if I could run for the offense, I'll run for the offense. And then you got to be a man to be a man. Now, you can't be a woman to have a baby. If if, if you man, only a woman can have a baby. And because only a baby can come form a woman. And that's what y'all need to know now. Uh, I'm hershey walker, and I

think I think I'm hush walking. I want to be y'all diner. I'd be like, hey manel dumb man. What the trip part about it is that under any other circumstance, the people that's voting for him would be like all over him, like this dumb it literate, slow football head ass. But but dumb enough, Willie, he's dumb enough to go with what they say. Yeah, like Clarence Thomas. But Clarence Thomas is just a little bit more educated. Well I

guess a lot more at a lot more educated. But again, a puppet, A puppet, someone who can can be controlled. And he's only in that position because he's being controlled everybody. He was only that position because of appointment. He's been appoint He was appointed, Willie, he was appointed and that's what Busch appoint him. But he's not going never but he's not he's not gonna. He's not gonna get out of that seat until he died. And that's unfair. I

think the cycle should run every four years. I think that should they should be elected, because man, you got something. You got somebody, Willie. You got somebody that is in control of your life and everything around you forever, m for wait for for there forever, you know, and then when they appoint somebody else for there forever to you know what I mean, like forever and the and that fucking cycle just keeps cycling, It keeps recycling forever, like

I'm I'm sitting this fucking seat forever, my forever. Real, I ain't gotta do ship, but but but but ride with what what about saying I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna uh review and look over uh roe v wade. I'm gonna overturn this ship. I'm gonna review and look over this affirmative action. I'm gonna I'm gonna overturn this ship. I'm gonna review and look over voting rights. I'm gonna overturn this ship. Wait a minute, you say black people are free, and then I'm gonna overturn that ship. You

you don't. You gotta understand this, William. Don't forget this man. Everything that okay, Like when I say privilege, when I say white privilege, Like white people were born in this country with privilege. They could do any fucking thing they want. Listen, The only reason and that we can do ship is because the judge or a statue said that. Think about it. A judge said you can do that. A judge said you could do that. A statue said you can vote,

a statue said you can go go sit in the restaurant. Uh, at the front of the fucking bus. A judge had to give you that right, bro. Everybody else was born with the fucking right. I'm fucking man's funk right now. Mm hmmm. Because they said so, because they said so, nigga, you can sit at the bar at this fun restaurant. Because I said so, I said you can know. But you know what though, now you can't. Mm hmm. Fuck you. And that's the scary part. That's that's the part that

people don't understand. They don't understand if if somebody can give you something, they can take it away cold blood, ain't it? Yeah? And everything that we have, it's because they said we could have it. They wrote it in for us. Man. The law wasn't written with us in mind, so they kind of write us in here and there whenever we start crowning by ship that we ain't getting. But now the way, the way, the um, the needles

are tipping to the red. Man. If you, if you're not careful, man, your great great grandkids can be back in captivity. We better look at this ship. We better reanalyze this ship. Yeah, that's going over their head. Ain't no way and they mind ain't no way that could happen. Watch their minds, ain't no way something like that's gonna have missed. It's too good. What do we gotta do? Good Man, Willy, you better? You better tell him the truth. I try to tell him. Man, you better tell him

the truth. Man, with a stroke of a pin, they won't listen to me. Listen to me. Bro, with a stroke of a pin, your ass can go right back into fucking captivity. Am I lying? Uh? When you look at what's happening with voter suppression. This is supposed to be over, you know what I'm saying. This is just supposed to been been over. They were going through this, this Suppo has been over in the sixties. Here we are a getting and intimidation and you are you You

are trying to intimidate people to not vote. Motherfucker. We ain't scared of you. How many times listen, man, how many times you're gonna pope that fucking bow? Huh? How many times you're gonna pope that bow? Man, You're gonna pope that motherfucking band. You're gonna wake him up and all hell gonna break loose. Man, Man, leave that man alone. Man, Man, lead them people alone. On Man, quit going over there fucking with them people, Man, for you picked somebody off.

They're gonna poke that bad one. Motherfucking motime man, and that bag gonna go ape ship and it's gonna be a sight to see, you know, like the standing up there and and and and and and with the waiving the fucking flags and the fucking shotguns and all the niggas. But we don't scared that ship. We got that ship too. Stop that man, leaves the funk alone. Please it ain't gonna happen, all ain't they're gonna poke that bad with it.

That ain't gonna happen. What happened on this day? Okay, well let's just do Let's go your birthday first, on this on on um November one, eighteen thirty one, chocked we ship chocked our nation that must be um Choctawn Nation begins. Forced march Mississippi from Mississippi to Oklahoma. One in three die in trails of tears. Wow, how many people? One in three? I got one in three? But what was the total number? They don't say, it says chocktown

Nation begins, Forced mores from Mississippi to Oklahoma. One in three die in trail of tears. So you heard of the trail of tears? Right? Yeah? Wow? Okay, so what the funk? On this day? November nine, Texas Legislator Authorities authorizes counties to employee jail inmates in public works and to least them the private employers, with all profits going to the only treasury. Yeah, kin, walk out now and talk about wickedness. Hey man, listen, day was white right

in the law. That's it signature on it. Hey, jail inmates, they let jail inmates work in public works, and the least them to private employers, and all the profits went to the county treasurers. And you tell me that we don't get reparations. You're telling me that a crime has not been committed against humanity. You're telling me that. Well, on the flip side, even if a crime wasn't committed, Oh, you committed a crime. Come on, come on, boy, they

say somebody got robbed. That was you, That was you, little nigger boy. Yeah, man, how many how many of us lost our lives? How many of our people lost their lives for some false ships. But that's still on, That's right, that's the trip part about it. It's still going on. And you know what hurts. It hurts even even more so man, our little our youngsters. Man, they're killing each other. Man, And it's it's bad enough. We've got people outside of us that kill us like rod kill.

But we're fighting a fight from within. You see what I'm saying. It's like we're fighting a fight against us and them, against us and them. We were fighting. We got we got two different armies we're fighting. Instead one army were fighting, we're fighting two different armies. Man, we're fighting us and we're fighting them. And it breaks my heart to see these young uh, to see the young, my young dying like this bro just senselessly. Man. Um, it was an incident that that that happened down here,

man uh here recently. And it shot me all the way back to when we lost the man, when when I got shot at the waffle house. Um, the law man shot my partner in the back and they never charged him with murder. And I think that, Um, I think we're gonna we we we should all go and bring that back up. I want to bring it. I want to bring that back up to the courts because he shot that man in the back, that was what was in sreeport, shot him in the back from behind,

shot him in the back from behind. So and that ride home, we got that man sitting in there in that seat. That's a that's a old bloody ride back to the house. Man, there's a cold ride back home, Willie, you know. And it shot me back to that, you know, It shot me back to that moment in my life. And and ship, I think I might have dropped a couple of tears, man, you know, because that's got that that's a cold fucking feeling man. Yeah, and that was

that was always our um. That was always mandatory for us. You know when we left and you noticed when we left, we left together. We came back home together. We mean, we couldn't leave nobody out there. And damn ship man, we lost some man dog, they lost a man man, They lost a kid, bro, and I was a little kid man. Yeah. Uh they lots a kid man. I mean we was kids, bro, those kids will I was years old and Rudy died he was he was kids, bro.

And that she just shot me back to that, to that, to that, to that one, to that moment right there, you know, like we was kids man. Yeah. I know it's not like one. It's not a one size fits all. It's not um a single uh a remedy. But where does it start? I mean, whe where do you start

with trying to change the mindset? You know what? You know what I have to uh my first um injection into that um educational movement that need to be exercise, bro, is death is permanent, and you just gotta let them see how permanent death is, you know, walk the ass through that morgue, you know, let them look and see that ship. But what about the ones who are just fascinated about it some much something. Some of them, like

you said, they want their name on the shirt. I mean, they don't get no attention and lessons some of them. Some of them feel so insignificant. That's fine with They feel so hopeless that they feel like that's all they got is that T shirt, that name on the T shirt, and everybody mourning them. So even if they can't feel it, they seem like they just want to know that it went down. What about what about actually watching somebody does that? Tran Does that change that? Does that change? It? Is

why I don't think it's necessary. It might change a few people, but here's why I don't think it will change anybody. I don't think it will change collectively. Uh. It didn't change me as I started for my first man get killed at five years old. It didn't change me. It didn't make me. It only made me aware of what not to do, certain things, how to move in a certain way. Uh. That's why I didn't gamble until I was in my twenties, because I was shook. It shook me, but it didn't make me fear death, or

it didn't make me feel taking life. It didn't make me fear taking a life, so I don't. I think what made me care more is when I started caring about myself. What made me change my mindset. It's when I started caring about myself. You can't tell me. You can tell me about all these other people all you want to, But I got my life to live, and I'm going through my own thing, and all of these people are doing their thing or whatever. I got my own life experiences, and ain't nobody trying to look out

for me. Ain't nobody trying to take care of me. Ain't nobody doing for me. So all I see is me against the world. So it's hard for me to care about other people if I don't care about myself. So I had to start caring about myself enough to not want to be put away in prison forever and be living amongst a bunch of damn fools and you know, a bunch of men, right. I love the company of women too much to let that be my final destination.

So I had to start caring about myself enough to to know that I don't want to be laying out on the concrete like my little cousin Larry was with a hole in his head like a dog. And that's how I looked at it, because you if you live in the in the hood, you know, I mean, you know, sometimes you see a dog on a damn street. If you ride the highways, you'll see a dog on the street and the road kills. So to me, that's what

it looked like. A body of human being just lying out on the ground in the concrete and uh, in the code and police officers walking around him. Uh, and they're cracking jokes and laughing, not necessarily maybe it's by him, maybe it's about something else, but they're cracking jokes and they're laughing, and they're eating. They're eating like it's nothing. It's nothing, Yeah, it's nothing. And it's it's like almost

like our trauma is being monetized. So for me, uh, it came down, I don't want that to be me. I don't want that life. I don't want this life over here. Uh. And so in art so once I started started uh loving myself and and wanting better for myself or the man, that they started respecting other people more because I don't want them to do nothing to me and I don't want to have to do something to them. You see. Some people don't need all of that like I needed. Some people don't need all that.

Some people can just automatically be like, well, I love everybody and that's just wrong and I'm not gonna do anything wrong to anybody, and I just love and if even if they hurt me, I'm not gonna hurt anybody. Some people are built like that. I'm not. I'm not built like that, you know, like, uh if somebody, if somebody hurt me, I am going to try to hurt everything they love. That's me. So uh so my thing is like, hey, you know, just first don't first off,

love on myself. That didn't sound good if you, if you, it don't sound good because your mind being the gutter. Bro. You gotta stop watching Point while you're driving. You know, you know you can watch it, you know like when you when you when you stationary, but don't watch it while you're driving. Man, I guess uh that's a break with it. That's it. Now. We gotta wrap, man, we gotta wrap. No. I really I wanted to touch. I wanted to touch on the on the little baby thing,

the ticket sales thing. You know how you remember what happened with little Baby, the Baby, The Baby, the Baby. Uh. People were trying to rank on him about his ticket sales. Uh Uh. He had a show in the Baby, the Baby. He had a show and they were doing two for one tickets yet and people was trying to rank on him.

But the venue held thirteen hundred people, and people were ranking on him because you know what I mean, she went from selling all these damn tickets and stuff to not a thirteen hundred seat with people doing a you know, a two for one deal. So people were laughing at it. And my my point about that was that you know, the game changes. You know, people ain't gonna always be at the top, and and so you have to make adjustments.

This was in Birmingham, Alabama. What's the city. But Birmingham is also a B market, So you can't do and B markets what you might be able to do in an A market. I mean, that's just what that's that's that's just the business man, you know, right, one more record. He's back to arenas. You know, you know, um all tapes.

One record, but he's already still doing arenas. Also, because when people were talking down on him, he posted a video of himself on stage at what looked like an arena or at least a the a. It was thousands of people. Yeah, I mean, you're big gass artists. And I don't know why they're working within him like that, because people gotta have something to talk about. Really, you know,

as what he said something to hate on. Let me ask you a question, and what he said about, well, he didn't say nothing about, but that s no gonna say. It said, tell tell us what you said, because everybody don't know kids, bring everybody up to speed. Google It said, what do you say? What do you say? Brad? I can't, I don't know, you don't know. He was about to say something about so I'm about sucking some dead or something like damn, But what are you saying? Because now

that sounds weird exactly. I don't know what. I don't even know what was said, but I know what to finish some people. But how you know it was about that we'll call that, well that what the drawback would. But what don't you saying? So everybody can be clear? Man, you know what he was talking about? Anyway, fam That's how wrapped for, That's that's how wrapped for this episode until next time, No more talk, he man, why were

you always trying to chuck me in the crowd. This episode was produced by A King and brought to you by The Black Effect Podcast Network and I Heart Radio.
