Welcome to the Danny Show. Come me to you from at Nanta. We're here in the flash. Oh and I'm loving it. Can I tell you how much I am loving it? Here? Last night? Last night I celebrated my first Atlanta Halloween. I feel like I learned so much about this place. Yeah. First up, we went to a place called Virginia Highlands. And I don't know if I'm right or not, but those people must be rich. Yeah, because forget full sized candy. They were giving our king

size bars. It was just like full. I was like, damn, even with inflation. They were like, yeah, they're bawling out there. We had a hips to Halloween. We were in little five Points that was really cools quaint. Yeah, we stopped. We stopped at a little potty and Georgia Tech. That was cool as well. I think we got We got there late though, because there's like no women were already. I don't know what happened. Oh. Then we went to a place called Decada. That was really interesting. Yeah, Tacada.

I could tell, like that's where a lot of the white people live because of all the Black Lives Matter signs on the law. And I could tell. Oh, my favorite party of the night was my friend took me to a Halloween party in Bankhead. That was interesting. Yeah, I learned a valuable lesson in Bankhead. Do not assume that the people are dressed up just because it's Halloween. Yes, that just might be how they dress. I walked up to a gentleman and I was like, wow, man, I

was like, you look dope. Are you Shakespeare? He's like, no, I'm a pimp. I was like, well, here's your case, lass nicobab my friend. You did well. Pleasure meeting you. We're back people night too. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. It's everything's going on, Like now, mid terms are happening, the world is still happening. You know the news, what's

happening in the news, what's happening in oh. Let let's kick things off with the big news of the day, right, starting with Elon Musk, the guy who always looks like a ghost, whether it's Halloween or not. For months now, for months now, Musk has said that he wanted to own Twitter, right, and the reason he wanted to own Twitter is because he wanted to make sure that it

became a haven for free speech. Al Right. He wanted to change it to that because, let's be honest, up until now, you know, people have really held back on Twitter. You know, always I always find myself scrolling and thinking,

but what do you really think? Why are you so reserved? Sir? So? Anyway, on Thursday, that the day Ellen officially took over, right, we got a taste of this extra free speech all right, because in the first twelve hours under Ellen's ownership, the use of the N word on Twitter shot up five per cents. Which, no, you don't you don't know. You don't know who knows what it is. It could be racist, yeah,

it could be. It could be all right, you just who feel free and feel emboldened to say it now, right, or it could be black people watching Ellen take over like this nigger. You don't know which one it is. You're not sure. You're not sure because he's going crazy. Here's my question, here's my question. I really want, I

really want to know this. Why is it always when when the free speech people, right, all those people were like, we want free speech, why do they never want to use their free speech to say words like perambulates or

he's allaneous, Like it's never stuff like that. Have you noticed that, like we want free speech, we want free spae You're like, okay, what do you want to say nigger, Like, really, all the things you could have said in the world, every word, everything you could have spoken about, all the issues you what do you want to say that any other word? Niggers? He's like, he doesn't want free speech. You just want to hate on people, right, So, yeah,

it looks like Ellen is up. He's scrambling. He's scrambling to figure out, you know, how to how to make this whole thing work. Remember he spent billion dollars when he was forced to spend forty four billion dollars because it was a troll that turned into a real He used his free speech and he paid a big price. And it's gonna be hard to make money from this thing. You know. Twitter has a lot of debts, right, They're

not profitable as a company, you know. And so today to try and mitigate this, Elon Musk came out and he said he's gonna start charging people eight dollars a month to be verified with a blue checkmark next to their name. Yeah, eight dollars a month for the blue checkmark. Because I guess he's hoping that everyone else on Twitter will also make terrible financial decisions like he did. Because I'm sorry, eight dollars. What are you? What are you

spending eight dollars a month for? Like the blue check You realize what you get with eight dollars a month. You can subscribe, you can get like Netflix, you can get Paramount Plus, you can get Hulu, or or you can pay so that people verify that they're actually shipping on you. Right, it's just like, oh, this is the real Trevor. I hate this guy? Oh what was he in? Funny? I was the reason? This is the reason Elon must gave,

he said, the reason he's doing this. The reason he's doing it is because he's sick of Twitter's current lords and peasants system for who has or who doesn't have a blue check mark? And then he ended it with power to the people blue for eight dollars a month. So here's my question. If you're trying to create equality on Twitter, why charge anyone to be verified? Huh? Yeah? Just give everyone a blue check marking. Why are you charging the people? Give it to everyone for free or

give it to no one? Give it to no one? Right, But it doesn't make sense to offer it as equality and then put a price on it. Do you get what I'm saying? Can you can you imagine if MLK was out there like I have a dream. I have a dream, and I'll tell you all about it for eight not anine a month. It wouldn't be the same thing. It's all about it quality. No, you're trying to make money, I get it. Yeah, so I think this eight dollars

a month thing is ridiculous. You know, if you ask me if Elon Musk wants to make money from Twitter, what he should do. Don't charge people for blue check marks, No, you know, charge white people to say the N word. Twitter will be the most profitable company in history. Racists are gonna be taking out loans. I need a bit of extra cash. My neighbors are so goddamn loud. I could you know that? What else is going on in the news? Oh, of course, of course. It's the story

of that crazy dude. I'm sure you've all seen this by now, the crazy guy who broke into Nancy Pelosi's house and then attacked her eighty to yr old husband with a hammer. Now, you would assume, I would assume probably all of you would assume that everyone, regardless of their politics, would be against hammering the elderly. Right, you would assume that a right. But apparently, but apparently things have changed because is it turns out there are many

Republicans who find this whole thing really funny. A lot of Republicans have public and publicly condemned the violence, but some are actually making jokes about it. Yeah, that's exactly right, Wolf. I mean, instead of this moment of unity, what we have seen is Republicans actually mocking paul Pelosi and the attack. In fact, Donald Trump Jr. Tweeted out some really crude memes making fun of Paulo Pelosi and the incident that happened.

And then you have Carrie Lake, who is the Republican candidate for Arizona governor, who had this to say at a campaign event earlier today, it is not impossible to protect our kids at school. They act like it is Nancy Pelosi. Well, she's got protection when she's indec Apparently her house doesn't have a lot of protection. But I'm not I'm not gonna lie. Mega comedy is weird. I don't get that. You hear the joke about the old man who was almost killed at a that's the joke,

that's the joke. What like, like, who are these you know, you know what this is what's crazy to me. What's crazy to me is these are the very same people, the very same people who are devastated and appalled because somebody was rude to Ted Cruise at a restaurant. Huh. These are the same people. They'll be like this who was at a restaurant. They were rude to Ted Cruise at a restaurant where people go to eat and Ted Cruise goes to lick the napkins. They were rude to him.

This is America. And look, I get it's like, it's not all Republicans. I'm not saying it's all some Republicans think it's a joke. Many other Republicans are not laughing, but not because they're being civil about it. No, they chosen to turn this into a giant conspiracy theory. All right, Yeah, they've they've said there's a whole bunch of crazy cons vercis. They've come up with why this has happened, right, And then some of them have chosen to just dismiss it.

They go like, oh, this is not a big deal. There's just a random kind of crime that happens if you live in a Democrat run city. That's what they're saying, which which is which is weird? Right? Because you tell me this was random. It's like a random, completely random, everyday crime. Right. You're telling me some right wing conspiracy theorists broke into Nancy Pelosi's house screaming where's Nancy? And you think that was a random crime? Yeah, because we've

all experienced this. Right, He's walking down the streets, some random guy jumps out with the weapons, like, where's your wife, Nancy Pelosi? And you're like what, I'm not even married. And he's like, oh, well, if you do get married, one day, you look me up and you tell me where you live. I mean, like, how will I even find you? It's like, look me up on Twitter. I'll be verified. All right. That's all the time. We got to the headlines, stay true because I'll to the break.

We're gonna answer the big question. Is that last? For the real Librala Conda. You don't want to miss it. We're in Atlanta, we're having fun, we're on the road. People were being right back. You've never amazing. Thank you so much. Welcome back to the Data Show, coming to you all the way from Atlanta. Now, this city is known for its history and culture of black excellence, and sometimes sometimes it raises the question, is Atlanta the real

life Wakanda? Well, Atlanta's very own Dulce Sloan went to find out, Hello friends, I'm Atlanta Rays celebrity Ducay Slow. Now, Alanta has been calls many things, the black Mecca, Wakonda, a black utopia. It's basically the opposite of Portland, Oregon. But does the aid live up to the height. I'm a con city market to take a fellow, A d eli and cultural in furator Band Joiner of Atlanta Influenca's

Everything to find out. My name is Band Joiner, co founder of Atlanta Influences Everything, which is a civic minded creative consultancy known for a popular phrase and shirt in Atlanta, said, a lot of it sounds like a very Atlanta thing because it sounds like you gotta a bunch of like slashes on your business card, Like do you also DJ? Nope, But there's a DJ in this story. There's always a DJ.

There's always a DJ. Okay. We've been talking about this question for decades as black people who live in Atlanta or who are from Atlanta. Is Atlanta of black utopia. I don't know if I would say utopia. We're still in America, black Mecca, black Utopia, Wakonda, uh, all of the things. It's it's it's a place where where black people are comfortable. You told me. It makes it seem like, you know, ain't no crime and you know, ain't ain't no problems. You know what I'm saying. Well, it's interesting

because where your stories. We're in the pull up and we're at Pont City Market, but you know, and I know for a long time on this backstreet the streets to be there, sketchy man, it's crazy you say that because the other piece of that remember the name of the Kroger that was right here. Yes, and I don't care how I know you'll call it beltline program, it's murder program. We don't care. And what they tried to change it because we called it murder program. So this

is a multi layer thing. Yeah. There there are the perceived streets payd with gold for for black people to achieve whatever they are trying to achieve without a barrier. But there's also like multi layer classism here too. That's just how black it is. You know, it's aggressively black where it's tribal like Wakinda, it's a safe black place to be black, and then you have a fair shot

to make it what you wanted to be. Do you think the black people here have a different experience of black people from other places because we've seen generations of black wealth and black and higher education and just upward more ability for black people. It is rooted in the black narrative, kind of going back to w E. B. Two boy in Booker T. Washington's debate on Blackness that

took place on Atlanta University Center campus. So yeah, and if we want to tell that narrative all the way up, but if you look, none of these other black cities have anything like the Atlanta University Center. There are four HBCUs his historically black college universities in Atlanta. It's Morris Brown, Clark, Atlanta, Spelman, the Morehouse, and so you know if people grew up here to see like not only one black school but

four black university. Yeah, and so it's that post secondary education that Oakland, Chicago, Detroit, they don't have the more House and spell many things. And I think along with the consistent black mayors that became the attraction is the fact that Atlanta has had black mayors for forty some o years. Has that made a significant impact on the city. Most definitely the mayor that kind of set everything off, Mannar Jackson. He put forth those policies and took that risk.

He understood it that police, chief, police force, superintendent, teachers, everything that the public sector could touch, that that also had to be on mission like what he saw and if he couldn't get buy in from the working class people in those sectors, that this was the mission. So everybody had to get along. So we have to understand. So, I mean, that's a very interesting thing for you to come for someone to come in and just go, especially a black men to come in and go, Okay, we

got a chance. Yeah. So compared to the rest of the country, is it easy to be black in Atlanta? So the way we engage with blackness, the way we engage with white people, we didn't know that it was odd until you start traveling or you get these other stories like maybe you're talking to white people like that, like yeah, yeah, you just have more confidence, whether it's loud or whether it's quiet, confidence than the average black person.

And we don't know that that's odd until people start exposing us to the rest of the world and it's like, oh you'll you don't move like that where you're from. I think white Atlanta's are are unique and their experience with with blackness. For better or for worse, Atlanta seems to have become a safe place for that. Ask somebody who grew up Paris from here, what do you love out Atlanta? The ability just to be be my black self? You know whatever I say, that is so there you

have it. Atlanta might not be with kinda, but it is a city where you can get be a black film. Thank you so much for that. Dude, say slow and everybody, all right, stay tuned because when we come back Atlanta's very own tea Pain, We'll be joining us on the show. You don't want to missing. Welcome back to the Day. So my guest to Mike is a Grammy Award winning artist who is also a pro gamer and the CEO

of Nappy Boy Entertainment. Please welcome to Pain Yeah Kee paining himselves, Yeah man, Welcome, Welcome to the Day Show. Welcome first of all. Second of all, thank you for welcoming us. You know, obviously we know you started your career out in Florida, but you've made Atlanta your home. It feels like Atlanta has fully adopted you. Actually, there's no denying that music today cannot say, especially hip hop, cannot say that it hasn't been shaped by t pain sound.

You know, the way you've created everything from from how you use auto tune to the way you define the music. You've also been rarely vocal about the journey that you've been on. You know, I found it interesting. I mean it was it was terrible for you, but you know, people started blaming you for music like you you came up with the style of using ultra tune that nobody had ever seen before. You know, in my humble opinion, I'm not a musician, but I felt like you used

it properly. Then everyone just came on and everything, you know what I mean. And then people started saying either like oh, Tea paying spoiled music, Teapoint destroyed music. And you went into a depression and you spoke about how you get to work on your mental to come out. I love being vocal about things like that because it wasn't set in the blueprint before me. Everybody was always you know, it's all about blowing in. It's all about having a bunch of money and having all this, and

nobody tells you about the down. Everybody always tells you about the up. And I always look back at the the you know, the people that came before me, and I'm like, why why didn't y'all tell me about this? Like, you know, according to them, it was all as as money, girls, big house. Somehow your wife don't find out about any of that, you know, the fan if they were on. But you know, nobody told us about the down. So I try to stay vocal about that to let people

know these things are gonna happen. As much as you try to create this perfect world around, no matter what you do, you can do, you canna have charities, you can do all these great things, You're still gonna have these downs because there's no magical world in the multiverse

that everybody is happy all the time. And I feel like the stuff is said, I feel like you had to You've also had to do what what few people ever you know, I think they'll have to do, which is right, a wave of immense success go through a

period where you know your mental is challenged. You know, as you said, you struggled with depression and then financially you shared the stories of how you know you thought you had it all forever, and then you realize that the wrong people can give you the wrong advice all of a sudden, your money is always supposed to be. But then you have to build yourself back up. And now you know Nappy Boy is back in the game, you know your man touring autists, you you're creating music.

That's that's moving the culture forward again. Where does teapain go from here? Because very few people have been in the second peak of their life where they have to rebuild everything and they have the opportunity to do it all again. What would you do do? What would you do differently? And why? Uh condoms? I would probably but that probably I'll probably invest in them. Bit No, man,

I don't think I would change anything. I think the most important thing that came out of how I've done everything is the lessons I've required while doing them, you know, and and knowing each end of the spectrum is always better than going in it blindly and going off of faith. Um. You know, as I said, having that information, if I would have came into the game and I would have stayed successful for this long, the downfall would have just been from a higher height. But you know what I'm saying.

So I kind of embraced the fact that I was able to go jump in the cating pool real quick and then moved to the high. You know, I just wanted to have that experience in my life, and I don't regret any part of it. I love everything we're That's a good way to live life. Thank you so much to love. I appreciate you so much. All the best, and I'll catch you online. All right, everybody, stay tune. I want to take a quick right over you right
