Speaker 3:I thought about that episode of Fear Factor when they slapped Bull Nuts on the table oh, you know what's funny?
Speaker 1:I don't. I ain't never had this happen. When a dude was doing that shit, he just farted like. He just farted like, I'm sitting there, I'm just laying back, and then he's like, and I was like, is this?
Speaker 1:and he's just like oh, excuse me, he's just like, oh, excuse me, he's like see what the fuck your ass is right here, I can't move that's a saw, I was just like mad though cause he like paused and they excuse me cause he, he like paused in the excuse me cause he was like oh, I guess, excuse me did he know that crimes were chemical weapons or federal offense? I was like damn fool, held me hostage. Other than that, you know, good been good. That's what's up getting ready, big fly been good that's what's up getting ready.
Speaker 2:I'm trying so hard not to laugh because I wouldn't make it through this episode if I laughed, because this cough got me fucked up, and the few times that I've laughed this week I've almost died and I'm getting. I've almost died. Um, I'm getting over being sick as well. That shit snuck up, snuck up on me and then just fucked me up. So, um, snuck along.
Speaker 3:you're like fucking alimony payments and shit. Yeah, I just child support that shit.
Speaker 2:Was that fucking respiratory shit? Ain't no joke. Um, yeah, other than that, I've uh been at work and staying under the radar and uh dealing of the way life's been lifin uh.
Speaker 3:But yeah, other than that getting ready to I was trying to work on some music so I got six home the voice change might, might, might.
Speaker 2:You know you might have like like a kanye moment you know what I mean rap with the, with an extra raspy voice. I mean the way I rap. I probably wouldn't have a voice for long.
Speaker 1:I don't think he would.
Speaker 2:So I guess we'll get to the shenanigans.
Speaker 3:If you let a nigga shenan one time, he's going to shenan again. I said that for Wendell For Shizzle shenanigans one time he's going to shenanigans again.
Speaker 2:I said that for Wendell For Shizzle. So this first episode, we already know what it is. But what's understood don't got to be explained, right? So I had a co-worker who was talking to some co-workers who are of a lighter complexion and he's, he's, he has some melanin in the skin and uh, he, but he used me as an example to make a point to them and he, he's walked. I was happy to be walking past and he said, hey, so andy, do you go camping? And I just looked at him and they, they chuckled, they didn't, and and they didn't understand. And then he asked me again. He was like no, sir, is andy, do you go camping? I just stared at him.
Speaker 2:I didn't say shit because he knew. I was like why the fuck would you ask a question? And no, you already know the fucking answer to. So I don't. Another one of our co-workers goes I don't get the joke. I said you wouldn't. So, uh, that was the whole point of these questions. They're curated by the understanding of certain things we just understand and you don't have to explain them. Radio Raheem For Shizzle who's that?
Speaker 1:I'm messing with you. I'm messing with you.
Speaker 2:It is very understood in passing, even when you don't know one another.
Speaker 3:The nod the head nod.
Speaker 2:Why is the nod such a universal form of acknowledgement among black people, and what does it signify?
Speaker 1:I don't probably do the nod. I think I do, though that's a nod though that's a nod. That's a nod, nick. Yeah, but I figured you were talking about the something.
Speaker 3:I think it works either way, something I think the direction or not depends on who you're nodding nah, I give everybody the.
Speaker 1:if you get some niggas who be like I'm not gonna, I'm gonna give them the how you doing, I don't know. I do it to everybody. I think I'm more prone to do it to niggas when I see them Just say, hey, what's up? How you doing nigga, you know I don't nod everybody.
Speaker 3:I'm a nigga for real. Oh you just. I only nod to black people.
Speaker 1:Ah see, yeah, you know I'll chuck the deuce to people. I know you just ignore the other people in the crowd too. Huh, how you doing. Oh, you'll say huh, how you doing, but you'll do the what's up brother, that's what they're looking at me how you doing.
Speaker 3:It's kind of like Key and Peele this kid, but the nod is just something like I mean, I'm not quite positive of the history, but I'm pretty sure it's something of where it was just something subtle that black people did to announce that I, I see you, uh, and if some shit pop off, I feel like it's more unthreatening, it's not threatening.
Speaker 1:No, I'm saying where it's like hey, everything's cool, yeah, yeah, we good.
Speaker 3:Because there's some niggas where you're like oh, those niggas just staring at me like nah, no but you see, but see, the thing is, kevin, to that point, in some situations the nod can't be threatened like what's up, nigga, like what, like what it is, depending on the, how it go, yeah, depending on the, the body language behind the nod. Yeah, that's true, because if them shoulders get tense, yeah, and it's true, you know. So, I mean it, you know it's, it's like most, uh, most things, black culture have multiple meanings.
Speaker 1:So it's a temperature check sometimes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it really depends on the context of how the body language was displayed or the word was said, like the waddle? Yeah, it mattered, but I think originally it was like hey, man, like I'm going to. Okay, I see you, black man.
Speaker 1:That's why I tend to do this, because it's hard to confuse that Like that, nigga don't want me, he don't want no problems, I only really that's hard to confuse that with.
Speaker 3:I only really do not head up to young niggas. See, I was about to the older dudes, older black guys. I nod them what's up, man, how you doing sir.
Speaker 2:What's up, og? I will say in the setting now that it is different depending on the generations you deal with, because there's a young dude at the front desk of my gym. I gave him the head nod and the nigga gave me the salute and I was mid-stride out the door.
Speaker 3:He went.
Speaker 2:I said you went hard, brother. Yeah, like I.
Speaker 3:You know what the Uber called it.
Speaker 2:For sure. I just didn't know what to do in the situation, cause I was like fuck, like I'm I'm mid stride about to get the fuck out of here and he hit me with the salute.
Speaker 1:I was like can I ask you is there going too far sometimes? Cause I've I've had that where it's uncomfortable sometimes and it shouldn't be where you're like what's up? Or like hey and they're like what's up, or like hey and they're like hey, what's up?
Speaker 3:black man, you're like nigga, like I'm just like trying to be subtle just you talking about you talking about the time where you're like I'm just, I'm just here to acknowledge don't walk across the mother. Yeah, like this was not an invitation to a whole conversation, like I, I still gotta see. God damn it, kevin is that new happening?
Speaker 1:because?
Speaker 3:so now it's, this is a black guy at the gym. I've been seeing this nigga every day for the last five months and I guess recently, like he saw me in the gym and then I guess his kids started going to my kid's school, so then he saw me at the school and now, since he's seen me in two places now, the nigga want to talk to me like, and I'm like what's up, I'm cool with you, bro, but I'm not, finna, stop in the middle of my work. I have a whole conversation with you about the school. Our kids go to nigga. Like we can. I'll see you at the school today, like we can talk about that then. But I think I do think the whole non. I think it's like a camaraderie thing, like it's like you know, let's stick together in case, you know, these other want to show out. At least I know I got somebody to go back to back with.
Speaker 2:Especially in the suburbs. I know this Like when you're in a predominantly Caucasian area and then you just happen to see another black person. You just kind of give them an understanding.
Speaker 1:Because no, it was. I'd be like look, nigga, you better follow me or you're going to stay your ass in here.
Speaker 3:follow me or you're going to stay here Because I felt like even with the gentleman at the gym when he was asking me, he was asking questions about the school, but I could tell that his legitimate concern was is my child safe here? Is there going to be some bullshit I got to look out for and we was like no man, we've been cool, we had pretty much a good experience. So you know nothing out of the order like the teachers. You know she's like, he's like he's like my man gets hurt. Is my son going to be safe? Because I guess he was moving. He moved his son from private school to the public school. So he was like is he going to be safe? And I was like man, as safe as he was in a private school? I mean, you know you got there's.
Speaker 3:There's type different type people all around, you know, but I but I do think the knot it just comes from hey man, I see you, I got you, and if some shit pop off, nigga we gonna.
Speaker 2:I got your back, you got my back, type shit alright have I told you guys a story of the kid I saw in Raising Cane's? Refresh, I think you did, but go ahead, say it again so I went in there to get the kid some to eat from Raising Cane's, and there was a black dude in there.
Speaker 3:Was he working or eating?
Speaker 2:He was eating, but he was passing through. I thought so. I saw him. I was like what's up, man? He just gave me a look. He was like you kind of quick, you know, I see you. And I went to go get my kids drinks and he walked up to a white woman, or no, rather, the white woman walked up to him and he looked over at me and was like don't judge me nigga. Like that was the. And I was like, oh, so you got okay, you got you a snow bunny, he thought you was Dr Uber.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like.
Speaker 1:He shouldn't. He felt guilty.
Speaker 2:He got you a black yeah.
Speaker 3:he gave me the don't judge me nigga, yeah he gave me the don't judge me, nigga and I was like oh okay, black queens forever.
Speaker 1:I mean sure, Go for it.
Speaker 3:So there is no saving you. You're a lost cause. Dr E-Marmie, that nigga.
Speaker 2:So in that instance I realized that yeah, there's the. It went from the. I realized that quick nod was to. It went from the. I realized that quick nod was to to get the fuck out of there. But when he realized there was nothing else he could do, he gave me the don't judge me nigga, but my thing is don't be if that's what you love, why are you surprised? I don't give a fuck about it, but I'm saying I realized the awkwardness that he was giving me do based on who he's there with.
Speaker 3:Some people can be very judgmental about shit like that, you know.
Speaker 1:That's dope.
Speaker 3:I accept more power to him, but yeah. I mean, I'm you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 2:Yeah. But now I understood why he was awkward and I was like I don't get why you're awkward. But then I was like, oh, okay.
Speaker 1:Should have tapped him on the shoulder like you're alright bud?
Speaker 3:Yeah but then I was like, oh, okay, should have tapped him on the shoulder like you're all right, bud. Yeah, Was your kids with you? No, I was by myself. Oh, I was like because if you just saw the kids he'd be like oh, he's fine.
Speaker 2:I don't know. Their melanin's getting a little darker.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's going to be a trip when he hit a lark.
Speaker 2:I call him Little Rob Schneider.
Speaker 3:Wait, when you sent me that shit and said he look like the animal, yeah. I was dying laughing because the animal is my baby sister. That's one of her favorite movies. We've seen that shit so often. I was crying, laughing.
Speaker 2:So I already told my siblings that's Little Rob Schneider right there, we're not talking about Rob Schneider from Waterboy. We're. We're not talking about Ross Reddick from from Waterboy, we're talking about Deuce Bigelow, deuce Bigelow, the animal hair fucking wild. What do you mean?
Speaker 1:that's a huge bitch.
Speaker 2:So alright, one more. I got one more story where the head nod cause you, you sparked, you sparked it. It was at the gym. It was this light-skinned kid that was really trying to prove to me that he was black.
Speaker 3:Can't stand niggas like that.
Speaker 2:He was light-skinned as shit, but you could see in the texture of his hair. But everywhere else he looked white. He could pass for white until you saw his hair. He was like, oh, it didn't work there, okay.
Speaker 2:So I'm playing basketball in the gym and I glance over and the kid's shooting around the other side. He gives me the hat and I said hey, what's up? He runs over to me. He goes hey, what's up, brother? I said he just say nigga. No, he said what's up, brother? Like he put the emphasis on brother and I'm like, hey, man, what's up? Look at my skin and you think white devil. But no, I'm black, just like you. I said yeah.
Speaker 2:So he goes hey, man, I'm trying to play one-on-one game, you down. I said cool, he's like we just it's a quick game, just kind of warm up for my workout. Let's just play the six. I go, okay, okay, all right. Uh. So we play the six and like he just he's sagging off of me. He looks at my size, he sags off of me. I hit a jump shot real quick. He goes okay, nice jump, you got a nice jimmy on you. Okay, pause. So he gives me another shot. I dribble a couple times. I pull up again, he goes oh okay, it's at this point, it's already, it's already 4-0, and we're going to 6. He does it one more time. He still guards me. He realized I'm going to pull up again. Now he's respecting the shot. I pull up again 6-0. He goes all right, man, I'm about to go get to my workout. Brother, I appreciate you, but that was one instance where he was really trying to prove to me he was.
Speaker 1:I was like bro, like I told you that he's almost backfiring me in jail. That shit was almost bad. I was like nigga, get the fuck away from me. It's like me and one other nigga in this cell and like we kind of made like little eye contact, like what's up, nigga? And he was like we kind of made like little eye contact, like what's up, nigga? And he was like yeah, what's up? Yeah, we got to stick together against all these Mexicans and I was like nigga.
Speaker 3:I'm not with you.
Speaker 2:No, no, no. Yeah, I get me fucked up, you by yourself.
Speaker 3:Hold on. Your story is so fucking hilarious Because I don't know if you noticed, but Friday Logic dropped the EP and I was like all right, give it a chance. And 30 seconds until the first track. The nigga say I am by ratio and I said click.
Speaker 2:Feel like we know by now he really be doubling down on that shit too Like also.
Speaker 3:Let me go see what Busta talking about he be tripping my dad's, so smoke crack my mama hate her own children. I said for a motherfucker who swerve it down and let you know that he black every chance he get. He still don't say nigga.
Speaker 2:Oh he does, oh he does.
Speaker 3:I've never heard him say that in a song.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he does.
Speaker 3:He does.
Speaker 2:Yes, Is it awkward? No, he just really tries to put an emphasis like I'm black. He rolls off.
Speaker 1:When he says it in public, like just says it, it sounds weird On a song.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've heard him say you're like all right, man, we get it.
Speaker 3:I'm just like nigga. Come on, bro, I am not a Logic fan. I still look at him. I'll be trying to support you, logic, but at this point I'm on Joe Budden's side. Nigga, just shut up.
Speaker 1:I was until he just kept doing that where he's like damn man, okay, we, we got it.
Speaker 2:We got it. You know what song pissed me off?
Speaker 3:Flexicution.
Speaker 2:The Caterpillar remix oh.
Speaker 3:I don't know the name of it.
Speaker 1:Eminem shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was like oh, there's an extra version of Caterpillar that we left as a bonus song and I said I see why this shit was extra, because when you hear it at some point he goes on a whole fucking rant, he stops rapping and he goes yeah, bro, like you're. So I was like nigga, shut the fuck up like I really I fuck with the Super Mario.
Speaker 3:The Super Mario song shit the song he got to that beat and Black Superman I mean Black Black Spider-Man.
Speaker 2:That's my two favorite logic songs, everything else is kind of what's the song with him and Eminem? I don't remember. Is it Homicide?
Speaker 1:Homicide? I think so yeah.
Speaker 2:And I skim all the way to Eminem's verse, Anyway. So let's go ahead and go on to the next question. It's code switching. How do Black people or Black individuals navigate code switching in a professional and social setting?
Speaker 3:I mean, I think it used to be a must. I don't think it's a must, no more.
Speaker 2:And why is it rarely explicitly taught, like where we understand?
Speaker 3:Oh, we understand that. I think black people for the most part understand that you got to speak a certain way because we're initially labeled as aggressive or loud just by our demeanor Because yeah, and assertiveness, because I will say, if our our demeanor Cause, yeah, and assertiveness Cause, I will say, if our coworker asked me that in public, outside of work, I would have responded completely different.
Speaker 2:But when I was at work I was like bruh.
Speaker 3:So you know, and and and I, I felt like we co-switched to not be labeled a stereotype, yeah.
Speaker 1:That's not, I think. Label the stereotypes yeah, that's not, I think I do more a level of professionalism. I don't give a fuck about that, nigga, please, you ain't trying to get fired, no, that's. That's, that's factual, like, and sometimes it's important too, because I think you don't want to do certain things to have motherfuckers be too comfortable.
Speaker 3:Yeah, to where they think oh I, I'm a nigga with you. It's like nah.
Speaker 1:Nah, well, you've been talking to me like you talk to your other friends, nah.
Speaker 2:Nah, shout out to Tom Bob. Yeah, I thought about that shit too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because that gets tricky sometimes.
Speaker 3:Yeah Well, I think what it is also is like it's a level of culture understood between other black people. That's why we talk, to talk among each other a certain way. Then we and then talk different. We may not, we may use the same words and we may describe things the same way, but there's a. There's a different level of swag, different level of confidence, different level of emphasis on certain words when we're talking to other black people.
Speaker 2:I agree. Does that mean we're chame other black people? I agree, would that mean we're chameleons?
Speaker 3:Yes, we are, we have to be.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because now it makes me feel fake as fuck when I say it aloud. No, fake?
Speaker 3:No, because, like, I think about it, but it's a survival tactic.
Speaker 2:I get that I'm talking about. There's a level of degrees. I talk to different black people at work like so if it's me and you, we're gonna talk open and honest but, like if it's somebody else, I'll be like no, you're getting this much of this and I'll I should. I, if I have to be a whole different person to get navigate through that goddamn conversation, I'm going to you know, you know who cold switched the best.
Speaker 3:Tucker that nigga, that nigga. Cold switch on the fly. I'm confused.
Speaker 2:I don't know the day. Some days he's black, some days he's not, and I'm afraid to ask the question I'm like so is today the day that we can say that nigga to you?
Speaker 3:that nigga. He can ride a course on cold switching. There's nothing wrong with it. I don't think it's just us, though, because there's nothing wrong with it I don't think it's just us, though, oh no. I definitely think that there's. I definitely think that there's a white version of Kohl's with you, I definitely think, and I know for a fact, there's a Hispanic version of Kohl's.
Speaker 3:so you know, I think I also think like people kind of like assimilate to the, to the, to the communication style of the group they're in in the moment Also that's why I want to keep code switching, because I don't want it to get too comfy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what everybody just being like hey man, is this how you talk at home? Because I'd rather you just not talk to me like that.
Speaker 3:Look, I tell a lot of people. Look, I'm quite aware that you probably say nigga at home, but if you're not black, don't say nigga to me, because we're going to have a problem. I don't give a fuck. You rapping a song singing. Don't say nigga.
Speaker 2:Around me there's some jokes too, though.
Speaker 1:There's some jokes that I think that are told when they're like oh, none of them were black friends Hell yeah, let it fly.
Speaker 2:When me and Des were at the show and there was a group, I want to say it was when Dukes got there. Us Dukes were chilling and there were some young cats that walked up on all of us and Des was like when did these niggas start getting cool saying the word nigga, see? I would have said something. And I was like when did these niggas start getting cool saying the word nigga, see? I would've said something.
Speaker 3:And I was like but I'm like I'm I'm gonna exit stage right before I slap all y'all motherfuckers.
Speaker 2:There, there, there is some very loose uh yeah, but yeah, um, I got lost in my train of thought. Oh, we're talking about a particular co-worker. Yeah, I get confused around that nigga. So I just I keep it a certain because I, as you know, we've had a history where it's like I think I don't know what is gonna sit I don't give a fuck what he identifying him on with that nigga, he a nigga to me I don't know I I don't want to cause no problems, so I keep it a certain energy the whole time does he get angry or something?
Speaker 1:huh, does he get angry or something? Or is he, like he, just all the way in on?
Speaker 3:I'll let you explain that shit, all right all I'm gonna say is that he is who he is. I accept him for where he is, and to me you're always gonna be a nigga I don't.
Speaker 1:I'll accept that. I guess I don't know what the fuck you talking about he didn't.
Speaker 2:He gave you a political answer. He's like a heavy switcher. It's to a point where I yeah we bumped heads over, not realizing in the moment what the fuck was going on, because I guess it mattered more in the moment for him and it was like, oh okay, I just won't go there anymore.
Speaker 1:So he goes from like nigga to Karen.
Speaker 3:He'd be like Jerome or Karen sometimes he's like I ain't trying to get involved, y'all you gonna get involved. I don't fuck your ass. I don't want to knock your ass out he just deep.
Speaker 2:Anyway, let's go ahead and move the fuck on hair culture. What makes discussions around black hair so nuanced, from protective styles to the politics of good hair? I?
Speaker 3:don't think I can comment on this. Why I ain't got no hair.
Speaker 2:You had it in sometimes and your hair in your face, like as far as keeping the grooming of it. I ain't had hair since I was fucking 28 you ever had a nigga attempt to try to touch your hair?
Speaker 1:Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3:Oh, nigga, let me tell you this Now you're gonna piss me off. Look here.
Speaker 1:You know what school I went to.
Speaker 3:Look here. I don't know if they listen. They probably don't listen To you motherfucking gymnastics. Mothers that keep touching my daughter hair. I'm gonna fuck you up, okay. Stop touching my baby here, all right. Stop that shit To you random women out here touching my daughter here because, oh it's so. Stop touching my baby here, all right. My daughter is not a fucking pet. She is not something to be oogled after. She's not nigga. Stop touching my daughter here. I mean that shit.
Speaker 1:I mean cool, but they ain't listening. That ain't our team.
Speaker 3:And two Saturdays from now on, they ain't gonna do the same shit cause we had a couple like no, you cannot touch her hair, don't touch her that would be dope if they were listening, though.
Speaker 1:Hey, I heard you.
Speaker 3:Sorry, I didn't know don't touch me, but here's the real issue.
Speaker 1:Don't that come from like a lack of knowledge. To that too, though.
Speaker 3:I think so. I think the biggest issue people have with black hair non-black people having black hair is that I feel like black people are the one. Especially black women are chameleons with their hair. They're able to do so many things with their hair. They can have it, they can. They can rock it straight, they can rock it curly, they can rock the afro and they can do it with such ease and then, on top of that, look good in every in every style.
Speaker 2:So what you're saying is we that they have style and a lot of times. They don't have style, they don't have style.
Speaker 3:They don't. I mean I don't want to sound like that guy, but let's be real, nigga. The world copies our culture. Let's just call it what it is. They copy us. They off-brand nigga. They off-brand Like these niggas are the great value of black, I mean.
Speaker 1:Okay. I mean okay Because I don't know. I'm just saying Some of the hair things is like nah, don't do that. So it's like I'm glad they got their own hairstyle, like the little bobs and shit, because like when I see, oh no, I agree.
Speaker 3:Now there's certain hairstyles I don't like it at all.
Speaker 1:I'm not even, oh no, I just rather them wear that than us I get that too.
Speaker 3:Hey, you know we can't. I'm not a big fan and my wife knows I'm not a big fan of box braids. I don't, I don't like them, I don't like, I don't, I don't like those. And that's not box braids I'm not. I'm talking about like the individual braids. I'm not a big fan of that. Like cornrows, shit like that. I'm a fan of shit like that, I'm and um, there's just certain like you know what. And then getting older which is really weird Cause I never thought I'd get here now but when I see a black woman with some finger waves I'll be like that shit's laughing, that shit, especially when she got the that's funny.
Speaker 1:The finger wave Wow.
Speaker 3:The finger wave shortcut.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like that shit. Yeah, I like that shit. 97.
Speaker 3:Yeah, with the little curls and shit. Yeah, I like that shit, god damn.
Speaker 1:Y'all know how I feel about black women I think they don't know about anything with our hair because we, we they definitely don't know. They don't know anything, they don't know the process I, I could wake up and not do nothing with them. They're like yeah, it looks fine.
Speaker 3:And I'm like no, then you get around niggas. They're like nigga, did you brush your hair today, so so what you doing?
Speaker 1:you, okay, you struggling it.
Speaker 3:Also the concept of like it's like it takes a lot to maintain black hair, like, so like when I see somebody with their like, I understand. Like the concept of what it took to maintain.
Speaker 1:I'm getting triggered. What happened? You forgot something.
Speaker 2:No, I'm thinking about because there's been a few instances at work where I'm like like we have all the the co-workers of the other races, like you know the mom process. Nigga, I'll take my hair out, yeah, I'll let it breathe for a couple days. So first it'll be like the natural braids out, yeah, curl. Then I press, straighten it and I got the fucking co-workers oh my god, why are you wearing your hair like that? And I'm like niggas, like how many times have you seen me get my hair braided? How many times have you seen with an afro? How many times have you seen what the fuck are you worried about? Why my hair looks like and it it annoys.
Speaker 2:And then it's funny, it's like in passing, you have the other black. Like like shout out to deshaun. He'll be like these niggas don't know about that. Like he'll say it. He'll be like, oh, he's like, oh, you getting abraded. Huh. He's like, yeah, these niggas don't know about that because they understand, you gotta let it breathe. Yeah, because your hair, you don't. You're doing not damage to your hair, but it is putting stress on your scalp each time you do something. But when people constantly keep asking the same question, it gets annoying.
Speaker 3:They don't know. They don't know and the whole thing is like for black people. From my understanding, braids is a protective hairstyle. Yeah, it's something that you do to protect your hair and while you allow it to repair itself and grow, but at the same time, like you're saying, you can't have it. You can't have your hair like that for an extended period of time. You got to let that scalp breathe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Like that scalp reed yeah.
Speaker 1:You got to bend that ass over. Our other homies and amigos don't know, they don't, they don't know that they don't, and they keep asking because they're like I forgot.
Speaker 2:And then shout out to LaShonda, our co-worker Damn fuck LaShonda. Damn our co -worker damn, I put one of our co-workers on game to my braider. Shout out to Barbara at Jess, and I put her. I sent a co-worker to go get his hair braided by her, so LaShonna goes. Cause of your ass. This nigga think he black? I said what? But wasn't he black? I said what.
Speaker 3:Wait, but wasn't he black, you talking?
Speaker 2:about Will.
Speaker 3:Oh, I thought you were talking about.
Speaker 2:Will. No, he's a Hispanic driver, but he keeps his hair long, so, like Lashonda, one day. Caught me in passing he was like just because of your ass, this nigga think he black.
Speaker 1:Because he'll like walk around, like when he get his hair braided he be feeling it, yeah, and she gave me a look. I said what you? What the fuck? What the fuck you want me to say? Like I just told y'all man, we, we, we. The standard everybody else is great value depends on who you are. That's the shitty part. But yeah, why be mad?
Speaker 2:if he got, if he's building swag, got the swag. I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 3:Well, she mad because her edges don't grow.
Speaker 2:I'm not in that one. I'm not in that one. I'll never talk about a black woman's hair.
Speaker 1:I don't know this young lady so.
Speaker 3:She ain't young.
Speaker 2:Oh there we go, she gonna be young enough to try to put a two-piece on somebody. I'm not.
Speaker 3:We got a love-hate relationship.
Speaker 1:You sound like you got a two-piece waiting for you.
Speaker 2:Hey, what's up? Reese Welcome back.
Speaker 3:So I don't know. If Henry tell her what I said, she might text me. I'll pull up. She know where I live.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she do. So. The next topic snitching the taboo. Oh, what are the historical and cultural roots behind the no snitching principle in our black community? I don't give a fuck about that shit. I'm snitching, I'm telling on you in a heartbeat.
Speaker 3:I'm snitching. I don't give a fuck like we can't. Don't give a fuck, we can't Don't do no shit in front of me we can't snitch, we ain't snitching, we ain't in the criminal activities.
Speaker 1:I don't give a fuck. Don't do it in front of me If I'm in any situation like the he did it.
Speaker 2:Remember when I told you I got the pookie plate? Mm-hmm, and that situation felt real, real, real. Like I was in have a tax bracket to be in this I'm snitching if something happened.
Speaker 1:I'm snitching on everybody in this motherfucker. That's not snitching, that's what I say. I'm like you guys is law abiding citizens. If you were in the criminal activity with them and you start telling you like if a fucking cop came through that door, I was like that nigga did it, he did it my policy I'm
Speaker 3:telling on you my policy is I'm not gonna go out my way to snitch, but if I'm approached, yeah, if I'm put in a position.
Speaker 1:I might go out of my way.
Speaker 2:I might just look at that and be like nah, nigga, before there's any misunderstandings that nigga did it, he did it. I came here for a motherfucking macaroni and chicken plate. That nigga did, it did it. I came here for a motherfucking macaroni and chicken plate.
Speaker 3:That nigga did it real fast see for your, your pookie plate, nigga, I would've walked right out.
Speaker 2:I said it ain't worth it it was worth it, but man nah, it ain't for me. That shit was fire yeah, I'm not. I'm not, I'm good. I already invested too much time. I couldn't walk away.
Speaker 3:I told you that after the fact, I said, dude, if we get a restaurant, Because when you told me I said wait, you were here and you had to do it, I said nah, nigga, this is too many red flags.
Speaker 2:It felt like a drug transaction.
Speaker 3:I won't lie, it's too many red flags to get to the end result.
Speaker 2:I said I'm good that shit was fire, though you know it was fire. When I contemplated it in the bite I was like, was it worth it? Yeah, it was worth it. I was like, would I do it again? I took a bite and I was like, nah, I won't do it again. I wouldn't do it again. But I said, if you ever have a fucking restaurant, I'll go to that motherfucker, get a food truck pop up that shit was fire. Get you Pookie plate.
Speaker 1:It's a bad neighborhood.
Speaker 3:No, it wasn't Fucking right across from the neighborhood's not bad. The environment the environment was bad. If you pick up the food, it's bad.
Speaker 2:It was off of Reno Beach at the Walmart On the inside.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was the nice apartments across the way, like you know how like, and they Just their apartment was like damn.
Speaker 3:You know, like the old series or Showtime series, Weeds. Yeah, they had the grow houses in the suburbs.
Speaker 1:They had a felony in every closet, yeah.
Speaker 2:My heart always goes out to that Middle Eastern kid that showed up for a pookie plate and when he opened the door he was spooked. He looked around and he was like I'm here for a pookie plate and they was like man nigga, you in the right place. Sit your ass down and wait. He looked terrified. I was like yeah, nigga, I understand this scenario Are they still cooking? No, he's focused on his music shit right now.
Speaker 3:It sounds like it was a snowball situation.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's a lot of fucking questions I would have snitched.
Speaker 3:Like Franklin was in the back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would have snitched. I'm not trying to. I'm not built for prison life.
Speaker 1:I just don't think it's snitching. I'm not involved with y'all this ain't. I was here for.
Speaker 2:The police raided me.
Speaker 1:They be like hey, what are you doing here?
Speaker 3:But the thing is, you ain't got to be involved to witness. I don't want to witness shit Because I'm look don't put me in that situation. I'm telling. That's what I'm saying Immediately. So this is my public service announcement to that community. Don't let me witness nothing, Because if they come to me, nigga I'm telling.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Because I'm not doing no time for nobody.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not a criminal, I don't deserve to.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying they look at me like you snitching.
Speaker 1:I'm like no, I don't, I'm not.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no matter what my hair tells you guys, I'm not a criminal in any way. No thug in here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I might tell them before.
Speaker 2:They haven't took that picture, my profile picture. I might look like I'm a hardened criminal, nigga. I am not. It was just a good angle, nigga, I don't know. Uh, anyway, uh, moving on black joy, why is the celebration of black joy so essential? Even amidst systematic challenges, because we got this far shit yeah, every time he gives me the solidarity fist, I in the moment I'm like nigga. I'm defeated, but I like seeing the fist. It makes me feel like my nigga. Yeah, you get it. You understand it.
Speaker 1:This is a great success story to me.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's still going.
Speaker 2:Shout out to my classmate Mary. She sent me something this morning. It was a LaRusso interview about having 100 pieces of content. Have you seen? It yeah, yeah and she was like you guys are doing it and I was like I need to see this shit this morning.
Speaker 3:That nigga said don't complain, you got 100 episodes.
Speaker 2:I said we're at 183 today.
Speaker 3:I said I said to my my wife yesterday I think don't complain, we ain't 100 episodes it's.
Speaker 2:It's not an easy task and every time somebody comes up to me and goes, wow, you guys had how many episodes do the work, nigga? And it's consistency and and even with setbacks, we still say you know what? We still, we're still staying the course. So I love seeing shit like that and, uh, it inspires you. Shout out to la russell. Shout out to mary yeah, I think.
Speaker 3:I think the black joy comes from. I think we as black people understand just how much we had to overcome.
Speaker 2:So when you see another black person successful, you see another black person out there doing good, you're like, yeah, I see every day, when I wake up and I see my, the neighbors that are of just minority, I look and I say I know that they don't expect expect us to be in this neighborhood. I get, I feel good, I feel happy.
Speaker 3:I'll tell you that that's the one thing I love about my street nigga. On my street, the white people. I fuck with that when they take the milk like nigga. What you doing over here?
Speaker 2:I'll fuck with that. I'll tell you the people you see in my neighborhood with the toys.
Speaker 1:Don't flip it. They ain't white. Don't become them.
Speaker 2:Don't become the the product the people you see with the toys in my neighborhood ain't white, it's everyone else. They be fucking toyed up. They got the fucking atvs, the fucking boats, the rvs. Fuck man, and I love seeing it. It may. It inspires me to keep trying to go for it. So it's a beautiful thing camping.
Speaker 3:You should like that, though what?
Speaker 1:that's different.
Speaker 3:Now you're gonna go glamping oh, I thought I'm glamping all day yeah, I'll grab on my street.
Speaker 2:oh yeah, I thought you were going camping Right outside.
Speaker 3:Right the fuck outside In the backyard.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So when it's time to go to bed, I'll walk back.
Speaker 2:He's like oh, you got all your camping shit. Yeah, Are you moving the RV? Nope, just setting up shop Right here, got the grill out, yeah this is it.
Speaker 3:What is it gonna be yeah?
Speaker 2:man. So I do think it is very important to have celebration amongst our, our culture and, uh, I do agree with, with you, mo, uh, I think we, uh, I think it needs to be seen for sure Like cause. It gives us that understanding that it's possible, it's very possible, cause a lot of times you, with the systematic challenges that you start feeling, sometimes, especially in the, in the public eye, that they try to make it impossible for us to believe that it, that it is possible. So when you see it in person, up close, you'd be like, yes, nigga, I needed that. So, moving on the respectability politics, how does the concept of being twice as good manifest in daily life?
Speaker 3:and why is it often? Left unspoken the concept of being twice as good, like where it always tells you you have to be twice as good at a job. Oh, I'll see what you mean. Um, I think that that's more more so, like I, this is going to sound racist as shit. Fuck, I'm going to say it. I feel like I feel like being born black. You're labeled a threat, right, and I'm not talking about like just a criminal threat, because I feel like there's a lot of people within the black community who are not highlighted that are have achieved such a level of success or such a level of education.
Speaker 3:Um, the list, the list goes on and on. Like, if you look at the, the, the inventions that wouldn't be here without black people, the, the programs, the, the progress that was made off the backs of black people, the fact that this very country was built by black people, even though they didn't want to acknowledge it you know what I'm saying? Like so, and the harsh reality of the situation is is that we black people have been labeled lazy since we stopped working for free. That's just the heart. That's the harsh reality.
Speaker 2:I think even in our culture or in our society rather, it's not just black that uh, that we could play that with. As far as, uh, our understanding of like shit from the woman's standpoint to just whatever like we we constantly have to deal with the this setback. I mean us being black, yeah, we're always set at a disadvantage from get-go and I, and it's not it's not just to me, it it's like.
Speaker 3:It's like it's a common understanding amongst black people and other minorities that we can mess up, right, but the the consequences of messing up, it's going to take us a lot longer to kind of get back like we're not going to be uh forgiven as soon or as quick as other cultures, and we understand that there is a a pressure of being perfect. You know what I'm saying. That's why, um, you know, you really have to have that, that, that that uh kill or be killed type mentality, because that's that's what it takes to show your worth in some circles, in some instances, and I think that, well, I don't think it's right that it's that way. It's just a reality. I do believe that I'm one of the few that survives to the notion of, instead of trying to get into their doors, let's just create our own type deal. I understand that that's hard because history has showed us, every time we try to create our own, some people come around and try to tear it down. So, but it is, it's just one of those harsh realities that we do have to be perfect.
Speaker 3:It's like it's like it's like a remember the Titans. You know what I'm saying we to be perfect. It's like it's like. It's like Remember the Titans, you know what I'm saying. We will be perfect in every aspect of it. You know what I mean, you know what I'm saying. And it's like that. That, that drive to be perfect, that drive for perfect, for perfection, I think that's really what pushes a lot of people, especially a lot of black people, and I do think in some instances we have been better for it. It has kind of forced us to evolve and kind of like understand the playing field a little better.
Speaker 1:Huh, I guess, I mean I don't know, I don't agree with having to be perfect, because that's nuts, because you can't be, and that's just to know you might have to be better.
Speaker 3:But well, I mean, that's, that's what's implied with the perfect. No, I get it, it's just.
Speaker 1:I don't look at it that way, because I'm like I guess I'm more like so, nigga, that's what it is. That's the cards we were dealt. What the fuck am I gonna do to do other than?
Speaker 3:do what?
Speaker 1:I got to do. You know what I'm saying. So I'm like okay, I mean, if I'm this good at this, if y'all niggas don't want me, I'm sure I'll fight another way. It's like because just I know my skill set from having to do that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3:It takes a certain level of talent to constantly be dealt. Yeah, yeah, look out for the heavyweight podcast space tournament.
Speaker 2:I won't be there. I won't be there either.
Speaker 2:That nigga gonna be so low yeah so it was funny when I thought about the question.
Speaker 2:It made me think about how, when I was growing up, my dad used to always instill this shit, like he drilled it into me.
Speaker 2:As far as the understanding of making sure that my school record was clean, as far as like staying on it, as far as because he's like they're going to use it against you the moment you have a fucking, you get into that fight, make sure that fight's worth it, because the moment they have an opportunity to try to use against you, they're going to. So like I would go through my entire fucking school time thinking what my dad said over and over. So like when this one kid's fucking with me and I'm thinking, is this the day I just fight? And then I start thinking can I get out of this fucking fight? Because my dad said, if I decide to go down this path, what they're going to try to use against me later on in life, like hey, but you got fighting on your record. Just like what the fuck? Like what if I was standing up for myself is different, but they're not going to give me that.
Speaker 1:I mean with information. I think that's a big thing too. Yeah, because I feel like there's things that, as I've gotten older and gone through things and been through different, I guess, avenues and like just the workforce is that you learn more and more and then you kind of like learn what is actually possible and stuff where like oh, you're going to try that, like OK, so I actually know the rules in this and I know how this works this, that and the third so we could dance if you want, but this is going to end bad for you, like it's going to suck because it's gonna take our time. But now that I understand how this works, go for it. Play you guys a little dumbass game, but now I know how to solve this. Yeah, so it's like it's.
Speaker 2:It's almost like we don't know a lot of the shit and also shout out the uh, we touched on it when Afton was here. But shout out to Afton's dad because at the time they tried to get me expelled from North but luckily he was like the disciplinary yeah. So when we went to talk to him he was like nah, go back to class, like. But they tried, like, and it was one of them things where he knew it was like he's a black man.
Speaker 1:An expulsion on your record is something different.
Speaker 2:And, like I asked him one simple question, I said if they're claiming this about me, where's the proof? And he went you're exactly right, Go go, the fuck back to class.
Speaker 2:Like, but it was one of them things. He was the one that it came down to him whether or not what would be on my record and him being a black man. He was just like he saw it and he was like this kid ain't do nothing wrong, but sure enough, in that class that fucking white teacher looked at me like I was some sort of fucking criminal, even though I never caused any issue in her class.
Speaker 2:But it was one of the things where the other kid just happened to be white or white passing said one thing, so she automatically believe what they said. Sent me to to barty's office and when he asked me the simple layout of what happened he was like they ain't got no evidence and I I've never had you in my my office for something that that you caused.
Speaker 3:Go go back to class it's funny you said that, man, because it's like that's a, that's a, that's a repeating class. It's funny you say that, man, because it's like that's a repeating thing amongst a lot I could say probably a lot of minorities, not just black people, just say minorities, right, because I had a couple instances of myself where it's like I had one instance where they tried to get me expelled. I didn't get expelled and I think what saved me from that was did I whoop his ass? Yeah, I whooped his ass. I whooped his ass Like he had to get his braces redone, I whooped his ass.
Speaker 3:Yeah, did he deserve it? Hell yeah, because I told him. I said you keep talking about my mom or you can get your ass whooped. He didn't believe me, but I had witnesses that said, yeah, he said what he said. And so, and even like I remember the whole thing, I remember sitting down from the teacher or the principal. I remember I think I had like ended up getting like a five day suspension or some shit like that. But then I remember his parents trying to press charges and all this other shit.
Speaker 3:But then when, once everything came to light, it was like, nah, like, this was just like a, this was two kids going at it, right, and so like. But I remember they, them trying to like get that on my record so that it would carry along with me. And then I remember I had another incident where a girl, another girl and I was getting high school, a girl high school, right, you know like, when they used to do those fucking like they call them like titty twisters or whatever she came up and did that shit to me and I was like what the fuck Like, how would you like it if I did this shit to you? That was my words, right. Motherfucking security guard heard me say that Now I'm in the office talking about oh, he's threatening us. I said so. You heard me say this when she actually did it to me. But I'm in here and she's not. So where were you? Why are you here to protect me? And that was a whole nother thing. Like they try to label me as I'm out here trying to be inappropriate and you know all this shit. And it's like. Those are two instances I can remember instinctively, like no, you guys are trying to put this shit against me, right?
Speaker 3:But I think what helped me was, like again, the fact that I had people there to witness. They actually had my back and said, no, this is how it happened, this is what would happen, and the fact that I was a good student. So it wasn't like I was a problem student. It wasn't like I was always in the office. It wasn't like I was really ever. No, I think those were only the two times I was ever really in the office in high school.
Speaker 3:But it's like I did feel, like I saw in that moment, like fuck, I got a target on my back just because I'm out here just living, like I'm not, I'm just trying to, I'm kicking it. I think the second instance we were just in the quad. The other one, I think the first instance. I think we were over by the basketball courts or some shit. But it's like I'm out here just defending myself and now I'm in trouble for defending myself. Like you know what I'm saying, like now I could have hauled off and hit her ass, but I didn't. I probably should have, but I didn't. But you know what I'm saying. No, I shouldn't know.
Speaker 1:Nigga she. She was a girl, but she wasn't a girl.
Speaker 3:You know what?
Speaker 2:I mean, she was a big man, oh shit, you just made me think of a story that happened. You know what I'm saying. But he slapped the shit out of that big girl.
Speaker 3:she flew, you know, he got expelled but it's just like you know it is, it is. It is something so like like I was similar to what your dad was taught. I was taught that same thing, like everything matters and that in it and I've actually the sad, the sad part about it is that that shit kind of um I'm, I'm kind of teaching that shit to my daughter right now and I don't know if that's just fucking generational or shit, because it's like, it's like they want to label you certain shit because of because of your skin color, and I was like this is a bullshit and like I can identify, my wife can identify it and she just thinks she can. You know, like and that's the fucked up part I will say so.
Speaker 2:Even in that, like I had instances where black teachers were, they wanted to put you in a category and it was like what the fuck, like I'm supposed to be able to trust you? And then I was even in situations where, because I didn't act like the other black kids, they were putting me in a box. In a box. So it's weird, it's a weird navigating that because you don't realize box. So it's weird. It's weird navigating that because you don't realize what is, and it's not always other races, it's even your own sometimes, and it's like.
Speaker 3:All skin folk and king folk.
Speaker 2:But it's just trying to navigate it shit successfully. And even as parents, you're trying to think what do you explain to your kids when you want them to believe that everything is a fair playing field? And you know it ain't. Even as parents who are trying to think of how, what, what do you explain to your kids when they're they? You want them to believe that everything is a fair playing field, and you know it ain't Like.
Speaker 3:How do you explain that to a six year old? You don't, you can't.
Speaker 2:But back to that story. Um, there was this big black or big white girl. Right, I don't even like this nigga, but I sympathize with him. Right Me and this nigga never got on. I mean, he was one of the niggas that battle that I had it was three versus one.
Speaker 2:So I really don't like this nigga, but I sympathize with him in this situation. So this white girl was talking shit and she got real bold and she said some shit. So she slapped him and hauled off and slapped him in the face and was like she was really in her caring and, um, he stood his ground with all his might and slapped y'all. He came from here he cocked back slapped her, lifted her ass off the ground and she landed in mud.
Speaker 2:Damn, they expelled his ass why he defended himself because he what you were saying, he hit her, he defended himself I get, I. I I completely condone that because he it was a, it was defending himself, but in that instance he was at a disadvantage. He was a black kid, she was white. She's the woman, she was she.
Speaker 3:They didn't see the feminist they didn't see her assault him oh no, they don't care about that part that was you hit her, yeah.
Speaker 2:So, like I'm saying, when you say, hey, I should have, no the you shouldn't, it might be a whole different instance.
Speaker 3:I don't hit women.
Speaker 2:But I will say that I don't Hold on I didn't like the nigga, but it was funny.
Speaker 3:I don't condone the violence. So I'm sorry for cutting you off. I want to say I don't hit women, but that don't mean I don't want to. I just don't do it because I feel like sometimes they need to get their ass slapped.
Speaker 2:The words Nipsey, I'll check your jaw and I have my homegirl check your jaw. That would have been the best scenario. Rest in peace, nipsey.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm going to go tell Watts now. You don't want to fuck with Watts?
Speaker 2:But yeah, anyway, it wasn't intentional for it to be a thing about black culture today, but it kind of felt yeah, fuck it right because of the situation that happened to work and, like I said, these questions are curated by what happens in life, so I just thought it was so funny because it was without. It was just instinct, pure instinct, when that nigga said do you go camping? I said nigga, and I just let him look. And he was, he knew exactly what the look was and everybody else was like I don't get it.
Speaker 1:I was like that's the point, I would've been the wrong one to ask.
Speaker 2:I told him that.
Speaker 1:You. I told him that exactly. I said Kevin.
Speaker 2:I said, if it had been Kevin, you get a whole different. But there's always exceptions.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I always say nigga don't, we don't, kevin don't count.
Speaker 2:Why I'm a nigga, you are a nigga, but I'm saying if that question it'd be the exception, he'd be the exception, one that we If you guys don't know, mr Wendell, his situation is funny because he's a nigga hanging out with the blacks, but the blacks ain't niggas. Well played, sir. That was Mo Button's mind working, because that was a bar.
Speaker 3:Anyway, with that being said, Hold on, hold on, but his wife got niggas. I love Amanda, she's great, she's fucking funny.
