8
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:41,920
I'm Brad.

9
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:42,920
I'm Fred.

10
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,120
This is the show we talk about what's happening.

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,120
What's happening with you bro?

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:54,520
Chillin man, man, ain't doing nothing, surprisingly ain't watching nothing all start weekend,

13
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,520
just fooling.

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:03,560
I ain't watching no all start weekend either.

15
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:09,240
We had an event tonight scheduled at the church man for all the fellas to get together and

16
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:15,840
watch it but you know my little homie man finally getting into the WWE and tonight was

17
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:16,840
elimination chamber.

18
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:24,360
They always run, the pay per view in February, they special event in February, they always

19
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,380
run it on the same weekend as NBA All-Star weekend.

20
00:01:29,380 --> 00:01:31,480
They know to leave football alone.

21
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,920
Like for years, you know what I'm saying, the Royal Rumble is always in January and

22
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:43,680
for years the Royal Rumble would land on the Sunday that was in between the conference

23
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,840
championships and the Super Bowl that open week that was always the Super Bowl.

24
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:55,640
But since NFL has added that extra game and not everything goes a week later, now the

25
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,920
Royal Rumble the last couple years has been on Saturday and it's the night before the

26
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,000
championship Sunday.

27
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,680
They know not to mess with football but they always try to come in and mess with basketball.

28
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:14,480
A lot of those fans that go from football to basketball probably don't correlate.

29
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,520
You know what I mean?

30
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,400
It's almost a different set of fans.

31
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,600
Some of them cross over but I don't think you have as many but I can see them crossing

32
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,720
over from like football to wrestling.

33
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,160
Well I can see that point there.

34
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,120
But like the thing about it is that it's dumb when they do it because like the All-Star

35
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:43,000
game, All-Star weekend, like back in the day man, down in Sandusky just before I met you,

36
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,440
the Buffalo Wild Wings would show every pay-per-view.

37
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,920
So I was going to Buffalo Wild Wings at least once a month and it was dope to go there in

38
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:54,800
February because on one screen would be the All-Star game and then on the other screen

39
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,800
would be WWE.

40
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,200
I remember one year, I remember 2008, I seen somebody do a crazy slam on one screen and

41
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,360
I was like oh and I turned my head and LeBron yammed on somebody.

42
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,440
I think he yammed on Jason Kid.

43
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:09,680
It was the 08 All-Star game.

44
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,160
I'll never forget that.

45
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,320
Anyway man, but they be doing stupid stuff man.

46
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:21,040
Like they, man that night, that game seven, Cleveland versus Golden State, WWE ran a pay-per-view

47
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,040
that night.

48
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,840
Now that's not WWE's fault because you can't predict a game seven but I'm telling you,

49
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,720
nobody watch that pay-per-view.

50
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,720
This game seven.

51
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,600
NBA finals, like we ain't watching this.

52
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,560
But yeah man, I'm going to need WWE to put a little better respect on my name man.

53
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,080
Like don't be, like figure out when the All-Star weekend is.

54
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,280
Matter of fact, it's the same weekend every year.

55
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,600
Like this event could have been next week.

56
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,080
It was cool.

57
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,080
Like whatever.

58
00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:02,000
All right, but no man.

59
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,680
But no man, you know, my little homie is getting into it man.

60
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,800
So that's like our thing now.

61
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,440
Every Friday, every Friday night man, he ready to watch SmackDown and then we own these special

62
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,440
events.

63
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,440
He be ready to watch these special events.

64
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,360
I'm just going to tell you right now, when WrestleMania come up in six weeks, we have

65
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,320
to move this recording schedule around because little homie going to want to watch it.

66
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,240
We'll work it out.

67
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,200
You better make it happen for sure.

68
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,200
That's what's important.

69
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,200
You and little homie, you know what I'm saying, sharing that time.

70
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,520
That's going to be his stories later on.

71
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,600
Yeah man.

72
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:44,920
So we, you know, we talked about the Super Bowl last week and you said it would be a

73
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:51,400
score a 34 to 27 Philly and I said 31 to 28 Philly.

74
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,000
Now neither one of us had the right.

75
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
You said Kansas City.

76
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,880
Yeah, Kansas City.

77
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:58,880
I'm sorry.

78
00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,880
I'm sorry.

79
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,480
I thought about it the right way in my head.

80
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,160
I just said it the wrong way.

81
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,560
So neither one of us had the right score, but your boy did have the right spread.

82
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,920
It was 38, 35, you know what I'm saying?

83
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,120
But no man, I enjoyed the game.

84
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,600
I hope everybody else did too.

85
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,640
This is a fun time of year for me, bro.

86
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,520
Like as much as I don't like winning.

87
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:26,080
Yeah, as much as I don't like winter, like the trade off of getting winter is you get

88
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,560
football playoffs, you get the NBA trade deadline.

89
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,720
This is like the big for wrestler fans.

90
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,720
This is that time of year.

91
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,720
We got the Royal Rumble.

92
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,720
We got WrestleMania coming.

93
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,520
Shoot, as soon as that's over, NBA playoffs, we up in there.

94
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:47,080
So like, man, this is my nerd time for real, for real.

95
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,120
No man, we got a little docket for you.

96
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,920
We got a little docket.

97
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,920
First thing, we wanted to get to this last week, but we went off trying to put some respect

98
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,000
on the WNBA name.

99
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,600
And this story happened in Ohio.

100
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:16,040
And I don't remember hearing about it originally, but the article is from capitalbnews.org.

101
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:22,540
And it says, here's everything we know about the investigation into Sinze Reed's death.

102
00:06:22,540 --> 00:06:32,240
So Sinze Reed was a 13-year-old child that was shot, killed by Craig Butler, a 36-year-old

103
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,240
man.

104
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,760
Sinze was black.

105
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,040
Craig is white.

106
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:46,520
And it is a story that is oddly familiar and oddly close to the Trayvon Martin story.

107
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,960
Did you get a chance to look into it?

108
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,440
I looked at it last week.

109
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:59,720
I ain't in freshman again, but I don't think when I read it was similar to Trayvon Martin

110
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,320
because didn't he get hit through a wall?

111
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:12,560
Like basically it said, Butler fired his firearm and it basically killed little Buddy because

112
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,880
it went through the wall and hit him.

113
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:23,600
Wait, no, I didn't see that because they're saying that Butler was saying that he shot

114
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,600
him in self-defense.

115
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:33,120
So I'm going to read the article again.

116
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,520
It's from capitalbnews.org.

117
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,360
That's what I have.

118
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:44,160
I'm going to skip down a little bit because I want to find the part where, let's go back

119
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,160
to the top actually.

120
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,160
All right.

121
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,200
So it has been nearly four months since 13-year-old Sinze Reed was fatally shot in an Ohio apartment

122
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,280
complex by his neighbor, Craig Butler, a 36-year-old white man.

123
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,640
The boy's death was declared a homicide after county coroners autopsy found that he had

124
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,720
been shot twice, including a fatal wound to the chest.

125
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,320
But Butler remains free, released from a murder charge after he told police that he acted

126
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,720
in self-defense.

127
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,920
Police records don't explain why Butler fired and there's no indication that Sinze had a

128
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:20,240
weapon.

129
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,400
So yeah, that's what I was saying.

130
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,600
It's close to the Trayvon Martin type deal.

131
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,240
That was 10, 11 years ago.

132
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,200
The Trayvon Martin thing went down, but it was kind of the same thing.

133
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:47,120
It was George Zimmer was saying that he acted in self-defense.

134
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,120
What you think?

135
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,120
You was going to say something?

136
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:59,920
Yeah, no, I was just trying to see when I was trying to see what area it was in.

137
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,360
Well, I guess the Columbus area.

138
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,440
Well, yes, Columbus, but.

139
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,520
Oh, shit.

140
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:08,520
Yeah.

141
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,520
Okay.

142
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,160
But no, my bad.

143
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,080
I don't know if you heard it, but you started like slowing down and it was like chopping

144
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,080
up.

145
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,120
Listen, it didn't sound like that on my end, but if it sounded like that on the user end,

146
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,120
my bad.

147
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:28,720
But no, I was, you know, Columbus broke up in different areas.

148
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:34,040
And so I was just wondering what part of Columbus it was in.

149
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:41,240
But you know, it just, I don't know if there's enough context there to say, like, I didn't

150
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,320
really get to see the scenario.

151
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,160
I mean, for no reason should a young brother be shot and he's unarmed.

152
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,400
You know what I mean?

153
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:56,480
And for you to feel threatened just by appearance or, you know, like I feel like I would have

154
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,400
to know more because if there's no reason, then you shouldn't be walking free.

155
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,400
You know what I'm saying?

156
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:08,560
It shouldn't be getting self-defense, but is he out on bond or is he just like free

157
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:09,560
of all charges?

158
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:13,920
Like the case is gone, shut and dry, he's just.

159
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,360
They said nothing about a bond.

160
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,920
They just said that he said he acted in self-defense.

161
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,040
Oh, wait, nope.

162
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:30,480
Oh, Butler was arrested the next day on murder charges with a $1 million bond.

163
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,960
But Franklin County prosecutors dismissed that charge on October 20th.

164
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,180
So he's not out on bond.

165
00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:41,840
So they just dismissed the murder charge.

166
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,040
Like pretty quickly with no explanation.

167
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,840
Yeah, that's that's wild.

168
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:55,240
You know what I'm saying?

169
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,480
So read down on the little bit more of the article says, why did Franklin County prosecutors

170
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,780
decide to dismiss the murder charge?

171
00:11:02,780 --> 00:11:06,520
Butler told investigators that he acted in self-defense when he fired his weapon, according

172
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,560
to police, which could grant him additional protection under Ohio's new Stand Your Ground

173
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:12,560
law.

174
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:17,520
And acted in 2021, the law removes a person's duty to retreat when feeling under threat

175
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,760
before they resort to force.

176
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,960
This effectively makes it easier to claim self-defense in court, shifting the burden

177
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,440
of proof to prosecutors.

178
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,400
In other words, it's up to the state to prove that the surviving party did not have a reasonable

179
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:37,000
feeling of imminent danger.

180
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Yeah, that's that's wild.

181
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
That Stand Your Ground, you know what I'm saying?

182
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,760
Should be in the event that you think you get killed.

183
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:51,400
But it also says according to court documents, a witness told the police that they saw Butler

184
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,440
drive up in his red truck at 546 p.m.

185
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,000
Get out, start shooting and flee the scene.

186
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,720
The husband was shot twice and taken to a nearby hospital where he died less than an

187
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:02,720
hour later.

188
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:03,720
Wow.

189
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,720
You know what I mean?

190
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,600
It's all over the place.

191
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,040
But that's my other thing.

192
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:18,760
It don't look like young fella was, you know what I'm saying, a huge boy or something.

193
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:19,760
You know what I mean?

194
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:20,760
Like how?

195
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:21,760
Yeah, I was.

196
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:28,400
Like how's a grown man are you that terrified of a 13 year old boy?

197
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:35,800
Yeah, I was looking at the picture that's in this article and.

198
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,400
That can't be him at 13.

199
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,400
He looks.

200
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,680
Yeah, that's what I was like.

201
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:47,680
But if you look at that structure and frame of him, he just don't look like a kid that

202
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,080
at 13 going to be.

203
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,800
You know what I mean?

204
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,600
He may be a little lanky.

205
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:54,600
Maybe what?

206
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:55,600
He might have been what?

207
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:56,600
Five, four, five, five.

208
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,600
Man, he might have been five, bro.

209
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,600
Like not even trying to like be disrespectful.

210
00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,600
Like he just don't look like a big child.

211
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,600
Yeah, you know, but that's what I'm getting at.

212
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:12,040
So like as a grown man, how are you that frightened that you have to stand your ground to where

213
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,000
a child gets shot and killed?

214
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,960
And then as the courts, how aren't you looking at it or investigating it thorough enough

215
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,640
for him to have charges dismissed and out on, you know what I'm saying?

216
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,640
Just freely.

217
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,640
Like, yeah, like nothing ever happened.

218
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:39,680
And I think you just sweep it under the rug with a newly, you know, placed law, which

219
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:44,840
also says that maybe I didn't think that law through too much.

220
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:51,080
Maybe we need to go back to the drawing board on that and maybe put a freeze on that because

221
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:56,000
if that's the case, you just saying all I got to do is go to a bad neighborhood and

222
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,960
start shooting and be like, man, I was scared over in these negative woods, dog.

223
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:01,960
Right.

224
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,960
Had to stand my ground.

225
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,960
That's crazy.

226
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,600
Yeah, I, I'm not feeling it.

227
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,160
So that's definitely something I'll be keeping my eyes on.

228
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,440
I'm trying to figure out what's going on with that because that is.

229
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,440
Crazy.

230
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,440
13 years old.

231
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:29,120
13 years old.

232
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,120
And it doesn't even look like it.

233
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,120
So I don't know, man.

234
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,120
Right.

235
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:41,720
With the story or something definitely wrong with the situation.

236
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:49,400
Yeah, it ain't sitting right with me at all.

237
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,040
But yeah, you know, I know, you know, a little bit more about me.

238
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:58,360
Let's let's we, let's we talk about Ohio a lot in this one.

239
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,500
East Palestine, Ohio.

240
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:04,120
So this has been going on for a while.

241
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,240
They had a train derailment.

242
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,960
I know you, you look into it a little bit more than I have.

243
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,960
I'll let you take a look.

244
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,440
I haven't necessarily looked into it more than you have.

245
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,440
I have.

246
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,080
I think I just was seeing signs of it earlier.

247
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,080
Okay.

248
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:32,160
But basically it started off with a girl that went to high school with on Facebook posting

249
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:41,040
about, I guess, a recently new movie on Netflix called White Noise.

250
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:48,080
And the basis of White Noise is they went all around Ohio shooting this movie of a train

251
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:57,240
that derailed with, you know, saying basically chemicals that could harm.

252
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:02,280
And it's almost like a reenactment right now of the movie.

253
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:12,880
And so I guess it was vinyl chloride or something to that nature that, you know, was on a train

254
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:20,240
and when it combusted, it created a big, you know, saying smoke blew up on how many cars

255
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,240
that was on it.

256
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:27,840
And it was a very long train from my understanding, it didn't have any cars on it, but it blew

257
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:36,840
up a nice amount of those as well as a lot of that toxic liquid got out and supposedly

258
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,000
it's been killed livestock, it's been gotten into the water.

259
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,320
But they're saying they've been testing the water regularly, nothing alarming outside

260
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:53,400
of that area that they've contained, but that river that it went into is the Ohio Basin

261
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,400
River.

262
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:59,240
And it goes down the side of Ohio along Kentucky.

263
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:05,000
I mean, that river feeds in a lot.

264
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,280
And it touches a lot of people.

265
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:12,320
And from my understanding, and this is just what I've heard, but I haven't seen anything

266
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:20,960
on the news yet, but they said that an announcement is supposed to be made, you know, from Louisville

267
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:28,440
about folks grabbing bottled water, you know, and staying safe being on a water alert or

268
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,560
a boil alert just in case.

269
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:39,440
So if we're talking about it down here, and East Palestine is up there by the Akron, Pennsylvania

270
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:46,440
area of Ohio, that's some traveling.

271
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,080
Right, right.

272
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:53,760
So I'm gonna read a little bit of this article from Curb.com.

273
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,520
This article was written on the 15th and we're recording on the 18th.

274
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,680
So it's already a few days behind, which is gonna be even more behind by the time listeners

275
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:01,680
check this out.

276
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,880
But it says, on February 3, the freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, the 150

277
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:12,160
car train operated by Norfolk Southern was carrying 20 cars of highly flammable toxic

278
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:17,120
chemicals and ignited a fire a quarter mile long that burned for days.

279
00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:22,720
February 6, officials with the Ohio National Guard and US Department of Defense worried

280
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:28,400
about the tankers that hadn't already combusted, instituted a vent and burn operation, a controlled

281
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,960
ignition they claimed would allow the chemicals to safely dissipate.

282
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,240
About 1500 people had already been evacuated after the derailment and hundreds more followed

283
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:42,080
suit just before a fireball erupted, sending a black plume of smoke over the region.

284
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,360
Many evacuees began circulating about people experiencing a burning sensation in their

285
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:51,200
throat, eyes, layers of soot and creeks filled with dead fish.

286
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:59,160
On Monday, 10 days after the derailment, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg made a statement

287
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:04,720
after multiple members of Congress demanded a stronger federal response, even a congressional

288
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,720
inquiry.

289
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:11,160
He expressed concern about the incident's impact on families and said that the National

290
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,800
Transportation Safety Board has been investigating the cause of the catastrophe.

291
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:21,440
A lot of information, changing information and misinformation is flying around.

292
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,280
So yeah, you know, so that was February 3rd.

293
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,040
On just adding some context.

294
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:37,720
On February 1st, I drove down to Ohio because I had an event to do for work on February

295
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,280
2nd into the Cleveland market.

296
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:48,200
And I stopped the night of February 1st, that was a Wednesday night, I stopped in Sadusky

297
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,840
and linked up with my buddy David Hahn, you might remember him.

298
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,600
And we had dinner at the brass pelican.

299
00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:01,280
And if you know me, I will tell you that that little hole in the wall in Ohio, the brass

300
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,360
pelican has the absolute best wings in the world.

301
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:10,040
They have 91 flavors and I'm not even exaggerating.

302
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,480
91 flavors is their number.

303
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,760
Off topic, back to what I'm talking about.

304
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,480
The point that I'm talking about is that while David and I were catching up, it had been

305
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:23,560
a while, you know, last time I saw him, oddly enough, it's kind of full circle, he came

306
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,720
to my house in Detroit to watch WrestleMania.

307
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:31,480
I was supposed to go up to Niagara for his wedding for COVID.

308
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:36,360
And well, it was during like that first weekend when COVID first jumped off, so we never made

309
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:37,360
it.

310
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:39,120
They ended up eloping somewhere in Ohio.

311
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:40,640
He's had a baby and we're just catching up.

312
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,560
I haven't seen this guy in almost four years in real time.

313
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:49,880
And then he was just telling me like, hey, you know, this train track behind, you know,

314
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:50,880
over by where I live.

315
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:51,880
I'm like, yeah, I remember that.

316
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,040
It's like, yeah, a train just derailed over there a few weeks back.

317
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,040
Wow.

318
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,040
Right.

319
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:08,160
Earlier this week, maybe Thursday this past week, Van Buren Township.

320
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:14,400
This is people will say the Detroit area, but it's about a half an hour south of Detroit.

321
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,560
But a train derailed there.

322
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:28,560
And that train was from Norfolk, which is the same one for this one for East Palestine.

323
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:34,120
I don't know if it was Norfolk Southern for what happened in Sadusky, but the thing that's

324
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:39,560
standing out to me is we have a lot of train derailments in a very short time period.

325
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,240
And I don't know how often that happens.

326
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,240
Go ahead.

327
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,880
You about to probably say something in that light.

328
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:53,200
Yeah, I'm thinking there's a lot of work because I'm not saying that train tracks or whatnot

329
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:58,080
are replaced and redone quite often.

330
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:04,440
But it may be there is a lot of work in that area that needs to be done and revamped to,

331
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,520
you know, strengthen and help make sure these things aren't happening.

332
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,120
You know, because it's one of those fields that, yeah, we know about them.

333
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:17,120
Yeah, we know they're dangerous, but you just don't hear of it often.

334
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:23,720
It's like, you know, wow, you know, it's a big deal once you have three or four of them

335
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,200
in a row, like you said.

336
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:31,480
And I think that's a huge alert, but also saying that there's something going on in

337
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,360
Norfolk Southern.

338
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:40,200
You know, and one thing that's been sticking out of my head, and I wish I had the time

339
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:45,560
to like really, really, really dig deep and find it, but I really started like really

340
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:51,800
tap into politics in like 2014, late 2014.

341
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,840
And then it really wrapped up in 2015 and 2016 is when I really started like paying

342
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,560
attention to a heavy.

343
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:06,600
And I remember just being one day, this is my old house in Ohio, just looking at YouTube

344
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,080
videos on the Xbox.

345
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,920
And I remember I found this video that Joe Biden did.

346
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,920
Now he's the vice president and he's not running for president at this point.

347
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:24,240
But this is like early 2016, a video that Joe Biden had put up and he was talking about

348
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,660
like we really need to focus on infrastructure.

349
00:23:27,660 --> 00:23:30,520
And I feel like he was talking about trains.

350
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:38,040
What I don't remember is if he's talking about trains in the sense of like transportation,

351
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:45,720
like being able to get from like city to city real quick, or if he was talking about trains

352
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,160
from the sense of like being able to move products.

353
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:54,080
But I remember he talked about trains and I know he talked about the roads being a terrible

354
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,080
condition.

355
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,360
I just don't know if I'm confusing it thinking that he's talking about the train tracks are

356
00:23:58,360 --> 00:24:00,720
also in terrible condition as well.

357
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:06,660
But me just hearing this, it's just it's been like putting that conversation, putting that

358
00:24:06,660 --> 00:24:07,840
video back in my head.

359
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,040
I can see him in his white shirt and his tie.

360
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,720
Just talking about it on this random YouTube video, like we need to focus on infrastructure

361
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,800
this year, like immediately.

362
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,600
And then like nothing, nothing happened behind it.

363
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:27,280
But it's also a big problem with this because I'm hearing and seeing that there's these

364
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,560
big black dark clouds.

365
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:36,680
Yeah, it's just looming over the area, which I just sent you a video on Instagram from

366
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,360
Nojumper, maybe you can pop it up on here if you want to.

367
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:41,360
You can pop it up on here.

368
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:42,360
What?

369
00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:43,360
I don't know how to do all that shit.

370
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:46,360
I know you quicker at it.

371
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:54,600
So but it's just it's a dude recording these clouds and they don't look like normal clouds.

372
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,000
What's up?

373
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,240
Like it's it's kind of scary.

374
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:03,800
And then like that last video, like they driving out and just look at this black cloud just

375
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,840
gloom and open like this.

376
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,520
That's nuts.

377
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:15,120
So you know, that was that was kind of huge, too.

378
00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:18,360
It's like, what does those clouds have in them?

379
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:24,680
Some people saying that, you know, don't be out in the rain because basically the mixture,

380
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:29,760
I guess, create like an acid type rain so it could do something to you.

381
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:30,760
Oh, God.

382
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:36,120
And that's and that could be that could be an issue.

383
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:39,120
So for real, for real.

384
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:41,400
I'm trying to get this pulled up.

385
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:42,400
I'm trying to work fast.

386
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,400
You did.

387
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:48,400
That's why I said you're probably gonna be faster than me.

388
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,080
I wouldn't have known how to do it.

389
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:56,040
But you know, I'm just wondering what is going to become of it, because also I feel for those

390
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:01,320
in Ohio, but it's killing lives that much livestock and, you know, saying, what have

391
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,320
you.

392
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:07,800
I'm sure there's going to be another increase in inflation in groceries, you know, depending

393
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,880
on how much they provided for Ohio.

394
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,800
You know, right, right, right.

395
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:20,080
So yeah, man.

396
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,080
I got it up.

397
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:26,640
So Patreon users will be able to see it.

398
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,680
Podcast listeners will be able to hear it.

399
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,680
Right.

400
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:30,680
There's gonna be some profound.

401
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:31,680
We don't hear that from.

402
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:32,680
Hey, y'all got to get your clothes.

403
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,680
Wow.

404
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,680
Look at it.

405
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:48,200
This is over, Darlington.

406
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:56,560
So what we're seeing is just it literally looks like to me, it looks like a storm almost

407
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,360
like this is their fucking success.

408
00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:04,360
That ain't no fucking storm cloud.

409
00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:08,480
That's the fucking shit from East Palestine.

410
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,400
They're fucking controlled burn.

411
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,400
Whoa.

412
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:19,440
But there's a comment on here that says fish, pets, livestock, dead, but the community is

413
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:25,680
being told the after in air is fine, not contaminated.

414
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,440
Those empowered and I care about the health and safety of populations.

415
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,440
They care about his profits.

416
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,000
Dang.

417
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,960
Yeah, I.

418
00:27:36,960 --> 00:28:03,600
I mean, I don't know how else to describe it other than scary to me.

419
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,440
Just I don't know how else to describe it.

420
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:10,440
That's just that's not something that you see every day, man.

421
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,240
We got clouds like that.

422
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,240
You know what I'm saying?

423
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:14,240
That's what I was like.

424
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:20,520
I mean, and I mean, our environment is already like bad enough.

425
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,640
We don't need this kind of stuff.

426
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,800
I mean, that's just a lot of pollution.

427
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:32,160
Like we do enough on a daily basis, but basis by ourselves, just as an ecosystem in the

428
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,440
way we run things now.

429
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,440
Yeah, we don't need no added help.

430
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,880
Yeah, man.

431
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,640
Don't need nothing.

432
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:53,920
So you know, man, praying for those folks that are that are there that are.

433
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,080
You hope everybody say so.

434
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,120
I really don't even know like what to say with it.

435
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,480
You know, like I mean, it's just something that really we probably don't have to follow

436
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,400
because I know there's going to be more to come to this, you know.

437
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,520
And then it's crazy to just think of it.

438
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:14,200
How do it feel to be living a movie that literally just dropped like you watch this movie and

439
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,280
then a couple of days later, you live in within it.

440
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,280
Right.

441
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,280
Just on.

442
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,920
So I mean, that's kind of mind blowing within itself as well.

443
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,040
Like it make you feel like it's something bigger to it.

444
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,560
Like it's too too close together.

445
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,600
But.

446
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:42,680
Nonetheless, man, we got to pray for the folks and just keep your eyes on it.

447
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,640
You know, we got to figure out what's going on.

448
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:51,600
So the last thing I wanted to bring up was I saw this tweet.

449
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:57,160
I saw people kind of talking about it on social media, but then I saw this tweet from a Daily

450
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,200
Loud on Twitter.

451
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:06,080
They posted a statement that Chris Brown made and Chris Brown said, if you all still hate

452
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:11,880
me for a mistake I made as a 17 year old, please kiss my whole entire ass.

453
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:12,880
I'm fucking 33.

454
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,280
I'm so tired of you all running around with this narrative.

455
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:21,880
You weird ass niggas are the same ones that tune in every week to see Blueface and Krishan

456
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,400
beat the fuck out of each other in front of the world.

457
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,720
But that's OK.

458
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,000
It's entertainment.

459
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:33,040
All y'all can suck my dick disrespectfully.

460
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,280
So basically.

461
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,840
What Chris Brown is saying is, is that.

462
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:43,040
Y'all need to get off my case.

463
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:47,120
Because this was a long, long time ago.

464
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,320
I don't think it's more than just a long, long time ago.

465
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,520
You know what I'm saying?

466
00:30:52,520 --> 00:31:00,760
They man, they crucified that man after his one incident.

467
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:08,920
That happened in these mugs openly, admittedly and shows the world every day.

468
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,720
Of the toxicity that they go through.

469
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,760
Now whether it's to get paid or not.

470
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:25,040
It's still, you know, saying in a nutshell wrong, especially when if it was.

471
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:30,200
Your sister and her do out here beating on each other with you.

472
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:35,480
You won't see nothing funny and entertaining about it.

473
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,080
But I mean, he literally he lost gigs behind it.

474
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,080
You know what I mean?

475
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:47,560
Like he really lost a career in a sense, like because he wasn't as as big as he was because

476
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:52,000
people wasn't fooling with him because he beat on it.

477
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:57,560
And like he's I mean, not saying it was right, but he's 17, but these mugs go out here every

478
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,120
day and I mean, just.

479
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,840
Go hard.

480
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,880
He's not wrong.

481
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:14,160
You know, so.

482
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,320
I always hate that.

483
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,560
The argument.

484
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,440
The defense is what about is.

485
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:25,440
I.

486
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:34,120
First off, like this whole like Chris Sean and and and Blueface, whatever it is.

487
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:38,120
I have I have seen people talking about it.

488
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,520
I haven't looked into it.

489
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,000
I haven't researched it.

490
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:47,760
It just seems like something stupid, something ignorant and not worth my time and definitely

491
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,280
not worth my energy.

492
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:56,160
However, after Chris Brown's comments, man, I'm trying to find this post.

493
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,000
I saw.

494
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,440
Someone just kind of laid out a list of like.

495
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:12,680
To show that he has a history.

496
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:13,680
Being abusive.

497
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,280
So women and I cannot.

498
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,840
I should have screenshot at that post, man, but it was like it was like a reading.

499
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:25,520
It was like in 2016 he got arrested for this in 2015.

500
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:30,000
He was accused of this and like he was like leveraging the Rihanna situation because that's

501
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,960
the one that we know about because it's Rihanna.

502
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:40,080
But basically the post was like no, no, no, if you pay attention.

503
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,080
There's a lot more man.

504
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,080
I wish I would.

505
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:47,080
I should have screenshot it and see here's the other thing too.

506
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,880
And I mean, I guess you say it's in his favor because.

507
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,480
You don't have really recordings of it.

508
00:33:55,480 --> 00:34:01,160
And when it's just police reports or things of that nature, you know, saying without no

509
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:08,880
real evidence or proof of, you know, pictures of these assaults like it was for Rihanna.

510
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:13,320
And relationships, it's been countless times where women is calling and getting the other

511
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:18,080
person in trouble for whatever vindictive reasons, not saying that, you know, it's not

512
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,840
true, but saying it happens.

513
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,560
But these here and I, it's not about the what about ism.

514
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:36,840
I think is, you know, saying the standard that we're upholding, allowing this to go

515
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,720
on and nothing is said.

516
00:34:39,720 --> 00:34:47,680
Nobody, you know, says in trouble, like nothing.

517
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:55,120
I think that's more so what is to be said about it is what kind of standard is we allowing

518
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,120
with this.

519
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,720
I think I found what I was.

520
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:00,780
Well, this is only a piece of it.

521
00:35:00,780 --> 00:35:05,680
This person put 2009 Chris Brown assaults Rihanna.

522
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:11,040
2011 he threw a chair at a window during the GMAs.

523
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:16,680
2012 violated a restraining order at a Halloween party dressed in an Islamophobic costume.

524
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:22,240
2013 he threatens to shoot Frank Ocean and punches him over a parking space.

525
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:23,240
Here's more.

526
00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:29,840
2013 Chris Brown fakes community service after hit and run, arrested for assault and spent

527
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:34,080
36 hours in jail, was kicked out of rehab for violent behavior.

528
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,080
That was all 2013.

529
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,160
Oh, this is 2013 as well.

530
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,160
Smashes mother's car window with a rock.

531
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,040
2014, kicked out of another treatment facility.

532
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,920
2015, violated his probation and went to a nightclub that ended with five people being

533
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:49,920
shot.

534
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:57,440
2015 was banned from entering Canada, allegedly hits a man over a basketball game in Vegas.

535
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,800
I remember that one.

536
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:07,560
Takes $1 million to perform in the Philippines, doesn't perform, is detained for fraud.

537
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,280
Has to cancel his worldwide tour due to not being able to enter countries due to his violent

538
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,720
criminal charges.

539
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:17,600
2016 allegedly beat another woman and was investigated by the police.

540
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:25,800
Police manager assigned to help him rehabilitate his image due to Su's brow and claims he allegedly

541
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,760
brutally assaulted him.

542
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,480
Another woman claims she was assaulted by him.

543
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:34,640
She was allegedly threatened at gunpoint which resulted in a nine hour standoff with police.

544
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,520
I vaguely remember that one.

545
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,440
2017, allegedly punches someone trying to take a picture of him.

546
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,160
I remember that.

547
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:47,040
A judge granted Karucci a restraining order against Brown for five years.

548
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,560
She claims he threatened her multiple times physically.

549
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:59,000
And it just goes on and on and on and on.

550
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,000
But you know what?

551
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,000
I remember some of those.

552
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,680
I remember them vaguely as I'm reading them.

553
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,440
But the Rihanna, I remember that one.

554
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,280
It's to that point.

555
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:10,280
That's Rihanna.

556
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,440
I heard nothing about Karucci in about five years.

557
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,480
And she was sitting right next to me on my couch.

558
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,880
I'd be like, who are you, random lady in my house?

559
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,760
Like I just don't know who that is.

560
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:28,760
So I think that's like, it's a weird thing for him to just come out and say, y'all looking

561
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,760
at me but what about them?

562
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,480
When like there's way more to read about him.

563
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,080
Like I would have just kept my mouth quiet.

564
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:42,800
But he's also just been saying, like even just away from being abusive, when he didn't

565
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,440
win the Grammy for best R&B album, he lost to Robert Glasper.

566
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,280
And he said, who the hell is Robert Glasper?

567
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,280
I ain't know who the fuck you talking about.

568
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:54,280
Yeah.

569
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:58,440
I mean, I knew I know who Robert Glasper is.

570
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,200
But you also got to look at it too.

571
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,920
The way they came in and the way they had to go about it.

572
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:10,160
Now you got people that's just like, I'm gonna put a little snippet of single on TikTok or

573
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,640
a reels on Facebook or something and you know what I mean?

574
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:19,200
I blow up and be in the Grammys or the, you know, whatever award show, winning awards

575
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:26,720
for a song that you ain't had to pay no recording label, no mixing, mastering.

576
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:29,880
Nah, that ain't happening.

577
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,720
They got them industries locked down tight.

578
00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:33,120
You got to put money in it.

579
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:34,680
Nah, that ain't happening.

580
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:40,080
Ain't nobody making a love like that without doing no, ain't nobody getting no recognition

581
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:47,960
from something like the Grammys without going through the mainstream channels.

582
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,720
So who is Robert Glasper?

583
00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:54,800
Robert Glasper.

584
00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:00,320
I can confidently say 15 years.

585
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:11,720
Robert Glasper does, he's more of a, like a, for lack of, how can I explain it to make

586
00:39:11,720 --> 00:39:14,960
it make sense?

587
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:19,680
An R&B version of Swiss Beats.

588
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:25,960
You know how like Swiss Beats occasionally gets on the track, but like even then when

589
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:31,520
he does, he's not usually rap, he's more of a hype man, but on the back end, it's just

590
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,240
all production and composition and all of that.

591
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:40,160
That's what Robert Glasper is for R&B.

592
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:45,880
So if you look him up, you open up your Spotify, whatever, your Apple Music, you'll find a

593
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:51,680
bunch of stuff and it's like, he's collaborated with other artists, but he wrote the song,

594
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,440
he put the composition together, he did all of that.

595
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,440
He's been doing it for a while.

596
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,840
I think I can confidently say he's been around for 15 years.

597
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,880
I'm not going to say I've been listening to him for 15 years.

598
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:04,880
I'm not saying that.

599
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:05,880
What song did he make?

600
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:11,120
I'm saying that got him a Grammy.

601
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:22,420
I think he won for his album, Black Radio 3, which dropped in 2022.

602
00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:25,680
I'm looking at his discography now.

603
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:30,240
Yeah, his first album was called Canvas back in 2005.

604
00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:36,880
So we're talking 18 years that he's been in the game on a mainstream level.

605
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:45,000
Now here's the thing, you, regular old everyday human Fred Scott, it's okay that you don't

606
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,040
know who Robert Glasper is.

607
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:53,120
You Chris Brown, you're supposed to know who your contemporaries are.

608
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,920
So I don't know.

609
00:40:54,920 --> 00:41:02,080
That'd be like me saying, I don't know how to put it.

610
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:06,040
I don't know how you're supposed to pull that analogy out of that one, but I was waiting.

611
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:13,040
I mean, it'd just be like me saying, I don't know my nearby competition of my job in my

612
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,360
area.

613
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,360
It's actually silly for me to say that in particular, because I don't have any competition

614
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:20,360
right now.

615
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,960
Not even arrogantly, like without putting out company names, my company's competitor,

616
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:29,480
we ain't got no competition in Detroit.

617
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,480
They fired them all.

618
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,480
I guess.

619
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,480
I mean, that literally happened.

620
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,160
For your company?

621
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,160
My competition.

622
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,080
So like, you know, like you know the company I represent.

623
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:48,640
I'm not going to put that name out there, but like our biggest competitor, right?

624
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,960
That did like the same job that as me for a different competitor, there was four, right?

625
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:58,400
So I had all of Detroit to myself and they split up Detroit into like four little markets

626
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,080
to do their thing.

627
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:04,520
Anyway, the day before Thanksgiving of 2021, they put them all on the conference call.

628
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,440
It was like, your position is eliminated.

629
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,080
Happy Thanksgiving.

630
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,240
And they ain't been back since.

631
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:15,880
So I got all the choice of myself.

632
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,160
I just saw you're just killing it.

633
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:21,160
But that's what I'm saying.

634
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,360
Like it was kind of silly for me to make that comparison because I actually don't have no

635
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:25,360
competition.

636
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:26,720
Chris Brown, think he me.

637
00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:29,720
No, I'm him.

638
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:38,320
Listen, you ain't got his money.

639
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:42,480
Or his dance squad.

640
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,440
Oh, man.

641
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:53,560
You know, regardless, he got a lot of shit that he didn't have and he, you know, got

642
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,440
years of, you know, said history.

643
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:05,080
But that shit that Christine and Buffet's doing, that shit's retarded.

644
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,640
And he stopped immediately.

645
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:15,000
These mothers filming him hauling off and punching her dad and you know what I'm saying?

646
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:21,800
Them two fighting and she tearing up homeboys houses like, ain't no way in hell.

647
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,520
You know what the problem is?

648
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:31,360
The problem is that we're addicted to that kind of stuff.

649
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:32,960
I think that shit's so stupid.

650
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:40,120
Like every time I see something like I'm like, it don't even be in my orbit, bro.

651
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:44,000
Like unless other people talk about it, I don't be knowing again.

652
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,760
Well, they'll talk about it.

653
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,640
They have a link, you know what I'm saying?

654
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:52,840
So like you'll see a small like little snippet or something going as you scrolling or whatever,

655
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:57,440
because they didn't post it like people that's just on my friends list.

656
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:06,440
Yeah, I just I don't at the end of the day.

657
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,440
toxicity sells.

658
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:23,680
You know, I just think about, you know, all the TV, the reality TV, the.

659
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:31,040
It just I don't understand why people are so infatuated with it.

660
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,400
I guess that's the term I want to use.

661
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:40,160
But like that stuff sells because we watch it.

662
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:41,160
That's why it sells.

663
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,160
It's because we watch it.

664
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:48,040
Literally the shade room exists because.

665
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,120
And what does the shade room do?

666
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:51,120
What does she do?

667
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:52,120
The shade room don't do nothing.

668
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,760
But share other folks business.

669
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,880
But share other folks business and share drama.

670
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,680
And the people just be in the comments just messy.

671
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:10,360
Sometimes, sometimes I'll be trying to find like looking for stuff for us to talk about

672
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:15,440
for the for the pod and they don't necessarily even be like, like there's sometimes where

673
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,360
like the topics would just come like, oh, yeah, this happened.

674
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:19,360
This happened.

675
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:20,360
This happened.

676
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:21,360
Boom, boom, boom.

677
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:22,360
This is the afternoon.

678
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,960
I got a whole docket for us ready to go.

679
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:29,520
But then sometimes, you know, it'd be slow newsweek and I'd be looking and I like I'll

680
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,960
go to see like what's trending on Twitter.

681
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,600
I can't seem to find them on Twitter.

682
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,920
One thing I learned about Twitter is that Twitter, the algorithm works too well for

683
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:38,920
you.

684
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:43,040
And like if I go at the wrong time of the day for Twitter, it's going to tell me about

685
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,640
everything happening in the NBA.

686
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,400
And I don't need to know this right now.

687
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,400
Like I already got that under control.

688
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:49,400
Right.

689
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,800
And I used to when we were recording on Monday, the dumbest mistake I used to make is I'd

690
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,600
be trying to find one or two more topics on Sunday night and it'd be right in the middle

691
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:58,720
of like the game.

692
00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:00,200
So I got the trend of NFL football.

693
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,000
I don't need to know this right now.

694
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,000
I need something else.

695
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,120
What is people talking about?

696
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,640
And like the point that I make it is like, man, I really can't find nothing.

697
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,560
Let's go see what they talk about in the shade room.

698
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:17,840
And I go there and I'm just like, why did I come here?

699
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,840
Yep.

700
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:24,920
It's not always, I guess, be like that.

701
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:31,040
I remember a time when, you know, we used to think we hear damn or something on the

702
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:40,280
ass on the screen and be like, oh shit, this must be rated a little high for TV.

703
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:41,760
Shoot.

704
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:42,760
You live on here.

705
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:43,760
Damn.

706
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:44,760
At the church now at this point.

707
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:45,760
I just play.

708
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:46,760
I just play.

709
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:47,760
I just play.

710
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:48,760
I just play.

711
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:49,760
I just play.

712
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:50,760
So no lies.

713
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:51,760
You ain't going no lies.

714
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:52,760
Oh, I love the videos.

715
00:46:52,760 --> 00:47:00,120
I've been catching on like Tik Tok and Instagram reels in particular where like you'd be cussing

716
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:01,600
in the middle of the preaching they message.

717
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:10,000
They'd be like, you need to tell the devil to get his shit.

718
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:14,320
I don't know what's going on with these folks.

719
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,640
Hey, hey, come to church.

720
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:23,600
