Boy. You know what time it is? Welcome to the Bromegos podcast. Yo, yo, yo, yo. What's going on? What's going on? It's your boy, Panama Rat, and welcome to the Bromegos podcast. I'm here with my Cohost day. Money is popping, baby. Hoochie, man. Hunter. And of course, your undercover brother motor boat. And matt. Yeah, it's a beautiful day outside today. Hey, how you all fellas doing, man, I'm doing great. I feel wonderful. I really do feel wonderful. It's been a very interesting week for a couple of people in this room. But before we get into that, mike, you wanted to say something? Yeah, man. Listen, people, whether you're male or female, please understand. No means no. Stop stalking people, stop writing people, stop following them, creating fake profiles, all that dumb shit. No means no, people. Fuck. Mike must be Eminem bro. I'm just throwing it out there, bro. No means no. Fucking A. No means no. When someone says they're not interested, they're not interested. Keep it moving. Unless they say no to the blunt, that means they want it. They just captured no. Don't ever say no to the blunt. Don't be stupid. Don't ever say no to the blunt. A, man, real quick, have you all seen the Instagram model that almost died from AIDS? What? Yes. Which one was this? Oh, man. Was that the one you sent in the DMs to Dante? No, that's not it. Because I know that was you. Yeah. He's like, what the fuck is this? I was like, yeah, that's definitely Mike sending it. Yeah. So this Instagram model, I'm going to find her name real quick, right? I got to see a photo over. I need it for research purposes and for the spank bank. Her name was here we go. Gena Two. G-E-N-A-T-E-W right. She was linked to the likes of Nick Cannon, Chris Brown and Keith chief. And found out that chief Keef. Yeah, chief Keef. I haven't heard of Chief Keef since love. Sosa Right. So, granted, I don't even really like his music. Love. Sosa was tough, though. Ten years, went without getting tested and then almost died because she has the hive. First off, it's okay to be promiscuous. It's okay to live your best life. It's okay, male or female, you get no judgment from me, promiscuous girl. it's okay to do what you do, but be safe. And then if you're going to be raw dogging people, please get tested. Be safe, people. Listen, AIDS is real, and AIDS, the shit will kill you, bro. Wrap it before you tap it. Some of the most famous people, gay or straight, have died from this shit. Look at Freddie Mercury. One of the greatest fucking frontmen of any band has ever been in the industry, died of AIDS, and he probably had so much more to give to the industry at that point. That guy is a fucking genius. It's wild, bro. It's just I don't know, man. Freddie Merker is getting AIDS, getting laid at the same time. It's kind of crazy. But it's wild that people are just out here playing Russian roulette with their private parts. You out here, fine. You want to fuck? Go ahead. Do you? Do you? Please do. I think people should be doing more. Fuck it. You would think that in 2022 of all years, this would be common knowledge, but as we've basically said in so many words, common sense nowadays is not that common. Some people are taking risks. That's another thing. They like the risk factor in it. I mean, fuck that. Even when even at my peak of sexual promiscuity, you get tested once a month. I'm being a little bit of a hypocrite. I understand that. But even then, if you're not going to be safe and wrap it up, at least get tested at the bare minimum. That way, you know, whoever you're sleeping with knows, and you all can keep doing what the difference is. You are at least proactive. People are not as proactive in that mindset as you also wash your dick, my niggas. Wash your dick, man. Come on. You have a sex and you're just laying there in bed. You ain't putting nothing on no lotion, no oil. You ain't wiping it off, drying it up. Come on, man. We got to be better than that. You really want to walk around with your junk all wet and soggy in your pants? That's crazy. Well, I go home and take a shower when she leaves. Take a shower. That's how I used to do it. Anyway, man. Listen, I know some niggas, they be getting it in, and then afterwards that's wild. That shit is itchy. But speaking of sex, man, we have two members in here that have been finally joined us on the 69 Whiskey Podcasts, which is my other podcast that I had before, bromegos. Panama Red and Damoni had the pleasure of joining us. Hunter, I wish you were there. And when I tell this story, you'll know why. I wish you were there. So this episode is going to air after the Six Night Whiskey episodes. You guys can go check that out. But I just want to say, Dante, man, I want to thank you. And I'll tell you why. Because you had a look on your face about halfway through that reminds me of a very specific story that I have the permission to tell on behalf of my co host, Eric. You look so fucking uncomfortable. Yes. For me, it was hilarious. Because I'll tell you why. Years ago, a couple of years ago now, when me and Eric were in college at Rider, I was at his place that he rented with a couple of guys, and he was telling me this story. He was with a former submissive at the time, years past, and he showed me a photo, and this photo was a picture of her ass right? Now, knowing that he's a very eccentric masochist. Yeah, he's a different breed. He's got that dog in him, as we like to say in society. It's not what I would say, but when it comes to sexuality, he's got that dog in him to do some things that not many people might not be brave enough to do. I would better say freak, maybe. Freak might be a good name, literally, but go ahead. So he showed me this photo of this girl's ass. And I'll explain to you the photo I was looking at. So basically, the photo was a picture of the girl's ass, but it was all red. Maybe some cuts here and there from some of the tools he was using. Tools? Yeah. Well, I can tell you what tools he was using. Improvement. I'll tell you what tools he was using, man. He had a machete that he used the flat side of and to spank. He wouldn't use the edge, but he had the machete that I don't know why he had a machete, but he would spank. Is that not good enough? On behalf of the girl's request, might I add, this is all consensual. This is all consensual. And something called a monkey branch. Now, a monkey branch is some sort of wooden branch. I don't really know how to it's a tree branch. It's a tree branch more or less in some way, shape or form. So he was using that, and he showed me the photo of this girl's ass. I can say this much. The face I had that day, I did not see my face, but I can imagine it was priceless. Your face during the course of that recording was exactly the look I had. Yeah. I didn't say another word for another hour after that. Yeah. I was so uncomfortable, I might as well hold you, man. That was one of the most uncomfortable situations in my entire life. I mean, I was listening to stories that I never thought I would hear, ever. Listen, the story told about fucking a girl in the church. That was funny as hell. That was funny as fuck. I love that story. Then he started getting all this BDSM shit. Listen, I like Rihanna too, but chains and whips do not excite me. They don't I didn't even want to continue talking about them. Once you started talking to the story about the Swiss seat, I was just like, I'm done. This is too much. Too much for me. No, hate is just not my baby. We don't king shame on that show, though. No, I'm not even King shaman. I mean, I'm just being shameful. I'm like, God damn. My favorite line was Mike when he's like, man, I thought I was a freak. We're going to define freak differently because he's into some kinky shit. I'm into some nasty shit. Completely different. Completely different. I agree. I will do nasty shit wherever, whenever. It doesn't matter. That shit seems like it needs to be planned, bro. Well, that's the thing he has to plan that whole thing with the Swiss seat, that stuff that he must have meticulously put together to please his current submissive that he's with or whatever the fuck. And meanwhile he's out here saying, oh, hey, Mish, here's the chastity bell for you. And I'm like you better. Fuck right, we don't do that. But hey, man, we don't have Bro Migos podcasts. And I'm sure we got some things to talk about today. We were talking for the past couple of days, past couple of hours, about different topics that we wanted to talk about on the show. I think Mike got a couple of things you want to get off. I got a whole list of I want to hear it, man. I want to hear it today. Britney Griner, brittany Grinder. What's the update on trade? And that's a good way to put it, because the US government is out here making trades for Brady Grinder. Listen, just my perspective, I don't like it. I don't like it at all. I don't like it either. We're going to give them a known arms dealer for Brittany Grinder and a bench player. We're actually going to give them we're actually going to do a prisoner exchange. They're in talks about it for prisoner exchange. I can't remember the gentleman's name. All I know is that he's a known arms dealer. Right. So we're going to give especially what's going on with Russian Ukraine currently. You're going to give them an arms dealer for Brittany Gregor and a third round pick? Pretty much. I think his name is Wheeler. I don't know. I don't know what his name is. I don't give a fuck. But this is my opinion. The whole Britney grinder thing. No, here it is. Paul Wheeling. I'm Paul Wheeling. He's Russian. Yeah. I was going to say, what does this have to do with Russia? That's the other guy, the other gentleman. That's the third round pick? Yeah, that's the third round pick. The Russian guy is Constantin Yarashenko. I understand a lot of people are happy about this. I believe it sets a bad precedent, right? Yeah. So all we got to do is kidnap American celebrities, and then we can get back terrorists, people who are involved in organized crime. I don't agree with it. I'm sorry. I still am of the belief. Like, I feel bad for her, but she made a fucking poor choice. She made a poor decision. And the thing is that we had talked about this before. Every single country is not as progressive as we are. So, yeah, she might have brought those oils in there thinking it was okay. Or maybe she knew prior that it wasn't okay. Maybe she's done it before and never got caught. I have no idea. But I will say this. It is not right in the eyes of the law, especially the way both of our countries are going right now at each other. That we are giving Russia a well known arms dealer for an athlete, that's insane to me. That's insane. And the thing I really didn't like was that it was a member of the WMBA. And we had talked about this before when she had said that if this was LeBron James, who would be back over here immediately. Yeah, one, you're right. Number two, that's still not fair. And the reason why it's not fair is because no one is saying that she doesn't belong, doesn't need to be back here because she's a woman or because she's a female basketball player. That's not the thing. It's the fact that she did something that was against the law in another country, and we are moving mountains to get her back over here. I'm going to be real honest. Brittany Grinder ain't that damn important. No, I'm sorry. And if you don't like it, suck it up. That's the reality of the situation. Let's be real. This is the most publicity the WMBA has gotten in years and has nothing they still won't take advantage of it. Your organization bigger. It's even more fucked up, though. Imagine if this deal goes through the W. Imagine what people are going to think about the WNBA. Yeah. If we thought that people did not like the WNBA before, for whatever reason, imagine what it's going to be like if that deal goes up. Yeah. That's not fair. It sucks because it's like, wow, now people are going to have another reason to hate on a league that already doesn't get enough popularity, which it's unfair, but that's just the reality of the situation. My whole thing is, like, imagine if Hoochie Manhunter was over there, right? Right. And he's the one who walked in with this oil and he got arrested. Would anyone outside of his family and the people that know him give a fuck? No one would give a flying fuck. And they would say, well, damn it, Hoochie Man, what the fuck are you thinking? Here's the thing, Hunter, man, I love you to death, brother, but you're staying in the gulag. We can't get you back. Unless we're all going to go on a secret mission. There's no way we're getting you. Buddy man is going to turn it to Comrade Hunter. Comrade. But speaking of the WNBA, we're talking about this last night, elizabeth Cambage. Oh, man. Now, let me tell you something about Elizabeth Cambage. First of all, she's a bitch. She's a bitch. Okay? Yeah, she bad as hell, but she's a bitch. I don't know if you guys know what she's done while she's been in the league. No, but multiple times. First of all, she's racist. She's racist. Racist towards Nigerians. Don't know that. Elizabeth Cambaise is from Australia. She's probably the best Australian basketball player to ever come out of the country over the past couple of years. I thought I was carving. That don't count. But with Australian basketball players, it's probably like her. Patty Mills, Lauren Jackson. She ain't black. She looks like she's still black, but she's from Australia. You never heard of talk before? No. She's from Australia. She looks like if Anthony Davis was a woman. Wow. No, don't do that. Anthony Davis is not good looking at all. Elizabeth campaign might be 6564, but she could get it. She's six eight, by the way. Same height as even better. Listen, I'm a monkey, and I'm going to climb that tree. You feel me? Now, listen, Elizabeth Cambaise has had multiple incidents where she's said things to Nigerian players during the Olympics. This is not the first time that she's gotten out of a contract because of a dispute with players on her team. She did the same thing in Tulsa, did the same thing in Dallas. And people don't even know she was in Tulsa when she first got drafted. But what happened was she had a contract dispute. She decided to get out of her contract, and she left the league for a couple of years. Then when she came back, she played for Dallas. And then these were the issues arise when she joined the Sparks this year. The whole plan was for her to be the centerpiece of their offense. She's one of the best players in the league. A little bit of campaign competition. Is she the center of the actual formations? I guess you can say, like, how in this case, Anthony Davis would play. She's a center. She's a center. She's a great player. She's a great player. But her incidents with her teammates are the reasons why she has all these problems. This is not the first time that she's gotten to a contract dispute because she's had an issue with the teammate. And the two people that she had an issue with on the Sparks this year were actually players from the Nigerian national team. And they remembered that shit. They remembered that shit. And they had a terrible relationship. So because she didn't want to be around them, didn't want to play with them, she decided to have a contract divorce, as ESPN said. And we also have to talk about that question before we go ahead. Are you two at all have Nigerian descent? No. I'm pretty sure I probably do. Maybe. I don't know. I'm black. I don't know what I got in me, to be honest with you. Fair enough. I was just curious, because if you had that sort of I could be French for all I know, and I would have no idea. The melanin in your skin has to come from somewhere. It definitely traces back to Africa, there's no doubt in my mind. But Elizabeth Cambaise, I always have love and respect for WNBA players because I really don't feel like they get enough love. They are great basketball players. I've said this time and time and time again, if any of you high school male athletes think you are going to beat a WNBA player one on one, you're fucking out of your goddamn mind. You're crazy. These are professional basketball players. The thing is that everybody's outlook on the WNBA is sexist. I don't even think that. I think what people are doing is there's a direct comparison to their male counterparts. That's the other thing I don't plan. Obviously, like, I saw it on TikTok, these guys were clowning, coincidentally, Brittany Grinder, because are we going to see a 360 dunk? No regular dunk between the legs. No regular dunk. And they were clowning her. And understand, women aren't as athletic as men. If you put two people at the highest peaks of their athletic career, it's not going to be the same. No one's jumping like no woman is jumping like Vince Carter. No. But they both accomplish such great things. Like, in my opinion, the greatest female basketball player in the world right now, to this day, is still Diana Tarasi. I've never seen another Hooper play like she has. I told you all the story when I was in Vegas, and I saw her drop 43 points. It was second nature to her. Answer a question for me real quick. They play on the same rim as far as the height goes, right? Yeah. Yes. So what do you think about lowering the rim? No. For me, make the game a little more exciting. This is the problem, but they're essentially playing a man's game. I hear what you're saying, but here's the problem with that. If you lower the rim for the women's game, what does that say for all little girls growing up playing a game of basketball, you know what I said? No. That's not cool. Because female basketball players are equal to male basketball players. I get that. Physically, they aren't. But why do we have to lower the rim just to appeal to male viewers? That's all I would do. But that's really all I would do, because why not right now? I'm sorry. And I know females that love basketball. Right? I don't see them anywhere promoting, talking about the WMBA. You're not lying. And that's another thing we got to get into on this one, because I really think the biggest issue when it comes to the WNBA and its viewership and it's fandom, is the fact that I don't think enough women support it. And I'm not talking about female athletes or female athletes will support the WNBA pulling through, but it's women who like sports, who just won't watch WNBA basketball. Why would you go to these games? There's no reason. There's no reason these stands should not be filled at least halfway. I also don't see the merchandise anywhere. No, I don't see you barely see any commercials. No. It comes down to the company at the end of the day. It comes down to the marketing by the company to do that as well. If they're not doing it, especially with all this shit with Brittany Griner, what's the fucking point? And people can capitalize on it. Even this they're not capitalizing on. So you still don't see you get every breaking news from ESPN or something like that or whatever, all the news channels that cover sports, the breaking news, but no one is really talking about anything else. You get your little two minute segment breaking news and then they move on. You know what it is, too. This may sound negative, but it really isn't meant to be. Think about like this. Everything we've heard from the WNBA has been some sort of, at least over the course of the last couple of months has been some sort of clowning or negative thing. For instance, the MVP trophy during the All Star Game. Everybody was clowning. That $20, by the way. Britney Grinder. And now this whole thing with the sports. So now there's that. So every bit of publicity, and we know we will attest negative publicity is publicity nonethelessity. But at the same time, in the sports world, is negative publicity really a good thing right now for the WNBA if they're not going to capitalize on it regardless? Let me give you something. You know the reason why the WNBA isn't as popular as it really could be? Tell me why they don't have that marketable marquee player that they could have as the face of the league. To me, the WNBA has multiple faces of the league. There are so many great women in that league. I mean, Diana Tarassi, Brianna Stewart, the greatest suburb, candace Parker and the list goes on. On. I remember who she met. She played in North Carolina, actually. But she's gay now, so she ain't even in the men no more. Candace, let's talk about this. Here we go. Listen, that ain't it. No, I'm just kidding. If you're happy in your relationship but no, it's like I said, man, marketable players and people don't even know. her wife her wife taller than she is. When Skylar Diggins got drafted a couple of years ago, skyler Diggings was supposed to be the face of the league. Why? She was young, she was pretty, she was black. She was a great player. But the thing is, at first she didn't live up to her potential. Now she's playing in Phoenix with Diana Tarasi and Britney Griner. When she comes back to the league, they have a great team. They have a great team that went to the Westward Conference finals last year and lost. Do you feel as though there's going to be a lot of backlash if this trade goes through? Yes, there will be. There will be that even her own teammates may possibly look at it in a negative light. I don't know that I really think your teammates are very supportive because they want her back and they know listen, was it right for her to be detained for this? Something like this? Yes. No, I say it this way not because of their laws. It's like, Come on, man, we're still doing this over weed. But at the same time, it's in another country, and this can do that in another country. And this is Russia. We're talking Russia. Exactly. This is why when people say, oh, it's just weed, this is an American perspective on the issue. Yes. And it's not necessarily the wrong perspective, because it is just weed. However, let's take away the fact that it's Russia. It's an entirely other country. Before you go to a country and do something, you need to understand their laws before you go in there and bring contraband. Let's be real. You didn't think that through. Listen, Mike, a quarter of my nationality comes from Russia. They've killed people for far less. Yeah, comrade. They have sent people to the gulag or have shot them for far less. I get that. But again, this is coming from an American perspective. I agree with you that's what I'm saying is I agree with you, but I'm saying that it could have been much worse for her. The world doesn't always align with our morality. And honestly, I mean, American morality is questionable anyway. But that's a whole other topic right there. We don't want to well, I got a story for everybody. Oh, boy. Yesterday. Yesterday all right, now everyone knows what is we always talk about being black in America and all that kind of stuff. Well, yesterday I got pulled over in New Jersey, but not in a place where I felt comfortable, okay? I was in Bumblefuck, New Jersey. I mean, nothing but farms. Like it was coon country. I have this thing I was close by Hopewell Valley. That's where I was. I was by Hopewell Valley. And if people don't know where Hopewell is, it's like right on the edge, right by Pennsylvania. And when I tell you it's nothing but farms and endless land of absolutely nothing, that's all it was. Because the only other area I can think of is either, like, New Egypt jackson, hold on. What are you doing to get pulled over to be now, in this area where I'm driving, the speed limit changes a lot. It goes like 45352, 5215, and it's annoying. Now I'm driving down. I'm going 45. I thought I was going to speed limit. Of course, as I'm driving and I see this fucking cop car sitting right there at the cemetery, I was like, oh, fuck. So I'm driving, I got both hands in a wheel, I'm chilling. Of course, the moment I turn around, I'm like, please don't turn them lights on. See, the lights go on, he turns around and he's driving behind me for a good mile. First of all, I hate when police do that. I feel like that's race bait, okay? I feel like it's race BAIten. How come if you want to pull me over, you wait like half a mile, quarter of a mile just to pull me over? That's fucked up. Just pull me over, get my ticket and go on with the rest of your day. But that's not how it happened. So he pulls me over and I'm telling you, this tall white dude with glasses, he's got the white boy cut, shaved on the side, he's got shit to the side, all kinds of stuff on top of his head and everything. And he just looked me dead in my eyes, said, do you know I pulled you over? I said, no, sir, I have no idea. He said, well, you were going 45 and a 25. It's a 25 over here by the houses. Can I see your license registration, please? I said no problem, sir. I'm just going to reach down into the side of my door and get my wallet out so that I can get my license for all the white people. That's what we black people have to do, so that way they don't shoot us anyways. So I go up and I try to get my insurance. Now my insurance is actually in that sunflop you put down. You know what that is? Yeah. So it's in there. But my dumb ass, I opened up my sunglass holder, which is on top of my car, and anybody who comes in my car knows that's where I keep. Man, when I tell you I opened that shit and I was like, oh, that's not it. And I closed it up so fast, thank God that man wasn't paying attention. Gave my insurance, and I sat there. And when I tell you, I was so scared. If people want to know what it's like as a black person to get pulled over, I will tell you vividly. I was sitting there staring straight at the road, had both hands on the wheel, not moving, but God damn, I was shaking like I had Tourettes Matt. I swear to God, shaking the whole time. Because the only thing going on my mind was, I'm going to get shot and I'm going to get arrested or you're going to get arrested for the weeds. You can't get arrested for the wheel. I was so scared. And I need people to understand. You just don't get the feeling of sitting in a car by yourself when you have a member of a law enforcement behind you because you really don't know what they're going to do. And you know, they have the power to do whatever they want and they can get away with anything with the right people behind them. So let me address the critics real quick. Yes, he broke the law, which is why he got pulled over. Yeah, of course that's why I got pulled over. He broke the law, which is why. He got pulled over. Cool. Get it? No one should have to live with that kind of fear. It's the same fear I have, yet I've been home almost two years now. I understand I specifically put in the back of my car, like Afghanistan veteran, and I put on the other side like the units that I've been stationed at so that they can understand that I'm a vet, understand that I have issues and shit, because I don't like being threatened in any way, shape or form. I'm not afraid of a gun at all. That shit don't scare me. You've dealt with worse. Exactly. Shit doesn't scare me. So officer pulling the gun on me is probably just going to piss me off, right? And I'm probably trigger I don't like being threatened, period, by anyone. I don't care if you got a knife, gun, it does not matter. Don't threaten me. Because my thing is you're automatically pussy to me because you have to threaten me with a gun knowing I don't have anything. You're threatening me with a gun, you're pussy. Put down a gun. Let's throw these hands, see what happens. That's the thing. I just don't like being threatened. So I do my best not to break the law. I don't speed too much. I do, like, ten over the speed limit. Or what I do is I like to go with the flow of traffic so that I don't get fucked with. Because I don't want nobody fucking with me. Because you're already going to put me in a nervous situation. He's nervous, I'm nervous. The only difference is they have the fucking gun, right? It's uncomfortable. And I want to segue into something addressing that. Can I ask a question for the segway? Because if I'm not mistaken, correct me if I'm wrong, you have PTSD, right? Yes. Is that set off the PTSD too? Like the blackout or anything? I haven't been in a situation where like that, so I wouldn't even be okay. I was just curious because I know that could be something that people would be able to I don't want to find out what happens, which is why I tried to do my best to avoid it. But what I wanted to say and I was thinking about this on the way, because I was talking every now and then I get on Facebook to see what people are talking about, right? And someone was, of course, addressing, as we all do addressing the race issue in our country. And this is my question, and maybe you too can answer it for me, right? And I'm not saying because you two are specifically guilty of this, but maybe you can help me understand, okay? Why are white people's first always their responses? If you don't like it, you can fucking leave. Why is that always the response? Like, if you don't like it in this country, you can fucking leave. Instead of correcting the error and addressing the problem. It's like, hey, we see this problem, but because it's not our reality and that's not our perception, you can fucking leave. People have been rapping about fuck the police for generations, right? Yeah, but it's like, hey, you know what? That's not our perspective. So that's your problem. And if you don't like it in this country, you can fucking leave. Instead of addressing that, there's a police brutality issue. Why? I can't give you a straight answer for that because I've never necessarily felt that way. However, in my head, I can think that maybe that's a trigger for us to say, because we hear, like, celebrities say it so many times, especially when things don't go their way for their reality. So it's like, obviously they never leave. So then why the fuck are you still here? So if you want to leave so bad, leave. Yeah, that's probably the only thing I can think of. So we can in turn say, I'm sorry. Go ahead. I was going to say, I've never really said, well, if you don't like it, you need to leave. But I just remember all the Alist celebrities saying, oh, if Trump got elected, I'd leave. I'd go to Canada. Yeah, that never happened. Yeah, it never happened. I think it's still I've never been in a position where it's like, okay, well, if you don't like it, then leave. But if they say it, then it's like, see, celebrities are funny to me because I'm not saying I don't want to say that celebrities don't feel the same things that us normal people feel, but I've always felt that a lot of times, celebrities like to be out. You're saying especially during the Trump era, if Trump becomes president, I'm leaving, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know good and well your money is not getting fucked with, so you know good and well you're going to stay. Stop trying to connect with your fans just because you want to be part of the part of the movement. Don't bullshit me. I don't know if you guys remember this, but like, during the pandemic, there was a point in time during the whole Black Lives Matter thing, and a bunch of these different actors went on this commercial, and they were like, it's got to stop. I can't take it anymore. Like, the way of our country. So what are you saying? That they're being disingenuous? That video was disingenuous as hell. You're telling me they didn't take three, four, five different takes in order to say those two, three okay, so you're being a tough critic. What would you say is probably the best way for them to use their platform? Because if they're going to come out right, you're going to say that they are being disingenuous? Should I then become like, if we become celebrities and be like, you know what, fuck it. I'm just going to disconnect because that's no longer my reality. My thing with this is that celebrity one thing I do love about celebrities is when they're going out and talking to these people in their communities, sometimes they're giving financial support. And my thing has always been it's cool to talk about stuff on social media and give a post or something, but what are you actually doing in a physical essence? Are you really going to these communities and trying to help them out? Are you trying to do everything you can to make sure that communities that are disenfranchised, that they can help better themselves educationally, financially, socially as well? Because you are in a position where you have way more power than a lot of others. And if you can use that power rather than just using your voice because the voice can only take you hold on now, hold on. I'm going to stop you right there because I don't think that that's fair. You want them to use their platform in a specific way, and to that I say, fuck you. I love you, dude. But it's like how I use my platform is my prerogative. You may want me to get out there and get my hands dirty and get all in there, but I may not want to do that. Some people using their voice is enough. Example our former president, he used his voice to move mountains. He didn't have to go out there and do anything. And that's why it's hard to get him on any of these things that's going on. Let me not because it can't be you need to do something, but then when they do something, they get criticized for it. What I was saying, I don't want to make it seem like people are using their voice or wrong. I'm not saying that at all. But I feel like sometimes some of the things people can say, especially celebrities or big time people, it can come off as disingenuous just because of where they're coming from. We know the background they have, we know what they do, we know the amount of money they have. And it's easy to come out and talk about issues when it doesn't necessarily affect you, but you kind of want to be part of the movement. Now, the thing that I always find funny is when there's always this mass hysteria going on, everybody wants to say something. Everyone wants to feel like they're part of the part of society where everyone is doing the same things, talking about the same issues and trying to help out, I guess, in a sense. Okay. Now, once Black Lives Matter was over, I noticed there were so many people that just went silent. And then there are the people that continuously fight the people that continuously talk about it. And that's when I know you truly care about this issue. I've never been a fan of that. When things are going on and everything is kind of up in a roar that everyone wants to be part of it because it's popular. But that's even normal people, that's even people that don't have as much money as, let's say, I don't know, Beyonce or whatever, but should it be like, we all know, for example, JayZ comes from poverty? Yes. Right. We all know this. I don't think that because you've worked your way to get money and have millions upon millions of dollars. Right. Does that mean that you don't understand? Because not every celebrity comes from wealth. And I don't think most of them don't think, like, if you were born into wealth, then, yeah, you don't understand what it means to grind and to struggle. Not all the time, because there are wealthy parents out there who will make their kids earn that fine, but we can't keep knocking people for trying. It can't be, you need to understand us, but then knock them because they are. Or it can't be, hey, you know what? All you're doing is talking. But we don't see we're not with them every day. We can't grind with them every day. So we don't understand exactly what it is that they're doing. Can I make a point about something? Because you said something that sparked something in my head about how people more or less stop fighting after a certain period of time. A good example of this was that Blackout Tuesday thing. That's why I saw that everybody put a black box on their Instagram for like a month and a half. And then after that month and a half, everybody deleted that black box on their Instagram page. It was an eyesore. Yeah, I didn't get enough likes. Mine is still there. Mine is still there. I never did it. First of all, a lot of people didn't realize all it was doing was fucking up the algorithm. It was stopping all those videos for protest. It was stopping everything because everyone was posting the same exact picture with the same exact hashtags, and it blew up. So whenever you looked up anything, black Lives Matter at the time, for a little bit, it was nothing but black screens. And that silences people. And I don't think people even understand that. That Black Tuesday thing, it was silencing a lot of motherfuckers. It was silencing stuff in the news. Yes. All people could see. My thing is my civil rights, my basic human rights is not a popularity contest. It's not it's not something you could play around with. It's not something that's cool at the time. And then once things start to die down, you can act like the shit never happens. Yeah. And that's the only thing that I was really trying to say. But I hate people that are disingenuous. And I'm speaking on this based off personal experience. But what is getting people to do, though, is have a conversation. Because, you know what? Whether we like it or not, all these things that happen on social media spark conversation. Yes, they spark the uncomfortable conversations. How else are we going to get through all of this? Yes, it sucks. Yes, people don't like to go on their feed and see all the shit that they don't want to see or watch Sports Center and hear about political shit. Yes, it's uncomfortable and it sucks, and you want to escape from all that shit. But these are conversations that have to be had. There cannot be changed without struggle. We need to struggle through this shit to get to where we want to be. For our former president's. Slogan was Make America Great again. I struggled with that because of my responses at what point wasn't great and for who? But we have the potential to be great, and I don't want to sway too much into political shift. I want to brush it real quick. In order to get to where we want to be, we have to talk about these things. We have to address it. White people are tired about hearing about Black Lives Matter and all the other fuckery because they can't understand the perspective. We also, black people who are tired of hearing about it. Help us. We also black people don't understand what it means to live as a white person and understand that it feels like everything that is being said. You have to shut up. You can't speak your mind because you're going to cancel. You can't speak out against this because you can't cancel. And what we need to fucking do is just meet in the middle. Yeah, see, I've never had a problem with I'm sorry, Matt. Just real quick. I've never had a problem with anybody speaking out about Black Lives Matter if you're white or not black. I never had a problem with that. I never had a problem with that. But my big thing is that can you take the time to listen? Can you take the time to understand where we're coming from? I know you don't get it, but I want to tell you how we're feeling. I want to explain to you where we're coming from. Because even though we live in the same place, we go to the same schools and we go to the same stores, we buy the same things, we eat the same things. We live two completely different realities. We do season. Salt and pepper is not enough. Don't put that shit in the ground with no seasoning on it. You can't not marinate the chicken and then put in the oven. What the hell is wrong with you? Come on, now. But us as black people, we just want you all to hear us. We want you to understand. I think from a different perspective, most definitely the gay community needs to be heard. White people need to be heard. Hispanic people, Asian people, Indian people, they all need to be heard. But if you try to silence them, then don't get upset. Don't get upset when you want people to speak up about issues, and they do, but you try to silence them. And then there's back. Remember what you just said, sir? Okay, shut up and dribble. That's the first thing I was going to say. That's a perfect segue to something that I did over the weekend, and that was watched the movie Boys in the Hood because I heard it was a good movie. So I was like, you know what? I saw it was on TV. I recorded on DVR because I couldn't watch it at the time, watch the whole thing. And I had a very having been on this show and being a part of the show, I had a bit of an emotional response to it. Kind of opened my eyes to some things. Maybe tear up a little bit here. So tell me how you felt about it. Obviously, it's a different time period because I'm not sure if it's still like that, more or less. I wouldn't know. I don't live there at the same time as well. So it's just like yes. It's more or less a story. A fake Hollywood story. But at the same time. It's still a period piece because that is what the reality of many African Americans was like. Living in South Central. Los Angeles. Compton. All those places that time more than anything. Because the don't think it was the 90s. But it was an 80s time period. Which was even worse than the 90s. So to say you know what? I wouldn't even say I feel like in the drugs were just as bad, but I feel like in the music and the violence got worse. Well, I definitely think it ties both in. Yes, you have people that are dealing I mean, think about what's going on in La. At that time. You got Rodney Gangster rap, you got Rodney King, you got the OJ case. You had all these things going on at once. And then on top of that, you had east versus West Coast. You have biggie and tupac. You had death row and bad boys. Like all this shit kind of intertwined. It was a rough period. It really was. I was watching Minister Society last night, too. But I really liked Laurence Fishburn's character. Definitely. And I thought of you when I heard that when he was going on that whole spiel at the when I talk about Gentrification, I literally get it from that scene. Exactly. I get it from that scene. And some people will make jokes about like, oh, he's a walking hotel. Means stay woke my brother. That sort of shit. The same part. Yes, there's memes of that. But that's probably like the most genuine example of people who were like that, even what was it Ricky called them? A mini Malcolm X or something. Like something wrong? No, Malcolm X. No, there's not. I like Malcolm better than Martin. I think people need to just pay attention to the message. I understand BLM isn't everything we hope there would be, but it shouldn't take a movement like that for us to have these uncomfortable conversations, to just understand one another. Really, all we have to do is empathize with one another and we can go forward and things could be better. And this kind of ties into something you just mentioned before. I started talking when I talked to you about where I was in the group chat saying, I just watched that movie. It was really good. I learned a lot from it. And then you kind of started clowning me a little bit. I'll be honest. I'll be genuinely honest with you. I can say this to you as a friend and man to man, face to face, because I wasn't going to do this over text messages. I did not appreciate it. I didn't either. Oh, shit. I didn't appreciate I know it was comedic. I know it came from a good place. But at the same time, I was having a lot of motions at that time, having just finished the movie. And I was just like, man, I thought he'd be a little proud of me. And that's why I said what I said, too. Oh, yeah? Well, I know it's directed towards me, so I'm going to address it. First of all, go ahead. You know I'm just fucking with you. I know you're fucking with me. But at that point, I was actually so happy that you watched that movie because I try to get a lot of my white friends to watch a lot of the John Singleton movies like Baby Boy and Boys in the Hood and movies like that. Because you want to know what it's like for us? Please watch this shit. You all like watching movies. You all love being on TikTok and being on their phones. You like social media. Please watch this stuff. Because this is exactly what it's like. And if you think just because these movies came out in the 90s or the 80s or the 70s or 60s or whatever, if you think things have really changed that much, like you think things are so much different, they really aren't. But now it gives you a different perspective. Now you can kind of see, oh, shit. So this is what they were talking about. So this is what it feels like when they get pulled over by the police. So this is what it feels like in the black community. You know what's fucked up? That you mentioned the whole thing about the police, the two cops that were in the beginning of the movie that came during the home invasion. And what was Lawrence fisherman's? Furious. Furious. Shot at the guy. And they took her sweet time getting there. It's the same fucking cops that pull over Ricky and what the fuck was his other name? Trey. Was it Trey? Yeah. It's the black cop that pulls the gun on Tray. It's the same two guys. Because I noticed this, and I'm not sure many people would notice this if they weren't paying attention, but I was like, Goddamn that's. Fuck that. I don't know if he remembers that kid. Did you notice the black cop was way worse than the white cops? Yeah. And did you also? I bet you didn't even realize that's really how it is. Black Polly showing out for the white police, showing out for the white cops, and pretty much even the white cops. It's a very good depiction of what it was like during slavery, where you had these two appease master. Black slaves would assume that let's call it position of authority over the lower slaves and be worse off than what their white master I'm talking about Samuel Jackson's character, talking about Django. Remember he played the black slaver at one point? Well, he has to exactly for his position, trying to get his wife back. But black slavers were real, and that's like another side of history that people really don't talk about. The fact that there were black slaves during that time who gained power over their equals. And just to appease to the white man, not because they really didn't like black people, it was because they had been so damn brainwashed by the fact that they were like, all right, white people have all the power. I want to be like them. I want to be on their level. So I'm going to treat black people just as bad as they treat us. But at the same time, they still dealt with the same shit. They still didn't have the same rights. They got a little bit more. Maybe they got a little bit of a big piece of chicken. Maybe they didn't get the scraps, you know what I'm saying? But it's stuff like that where you look at it, and it's like, we don't hear about all this kind of stuff in history. You don't hear about this kind of stuff in school. So my challenge to white listeners, my challenge to white viewers is to look at this shit. If you don't want us telling you a bunch of stuff all the time, you don't want to hear everybody talking and shit on social media and people using their platforms and all that kind of stuff, you don't want to hear that? Fine, watch it, because it's there for me right in front of your face. How can you continuously deny that this is someone's reality when people have been saying the same shit over decades, over and over again? And then I want to make a point about you going back to the whole thing between you and me and boys in the hood, the whole thing of appreciation versus appropriation. Yes, we did talk about that. We touched on it a little bit in that group text. But I think it's safe that now that we're bringing it up we can talk about that. There is a fine line between appreciation and appropriation. Right. I've heard this phrase thrown out, and this is in Verbatim, but I've heard it. They love black culture, but they hate black people. Everything about our culture. Little kids want to emulate us. They want to dance like us, they want to dress like us, but they don't love us. You love our music. You love the way we dress. You love the way we talk. You love the way we wear our hair. You love the clothes that we put on, but you don't appreciate what we have. It's hard for you to sometimes understand the plight of black people because my reality hasn't always been of course, I've had incidents in Germany. I've heard racist shit everywhere. But I've never been like no one's ever directly been racist towards me. Right. I've never really dealt with it. I've never been pulled over, or at least to my knowledge, I've never been pulled over because I'm black. I've been pulled over because I was speeding. Hey, carrot top. Again. Racist jail motherfucker. Listen, I don't like white people. There's something different I wanted to talk about. So I think all of us are pretty into movies, generally. Yeah. I watch a movie every single day, at least three or four. Who would you say is regardless of race? Let's step away from that for a little bit. Who is your favorite actor? I can't tell you that. I really don't. Why would you do that? You don't have one that stands out above them. My favorite actor, hands down, is Denzel. I'd probably say Denzel is a good choice. I've never seen anybody who would be better. Who would you say is better than Denzel? No. The only person that, in my opinion, that comes close is like Leonardo. I was going to say Al Pacino or even Robert De Niro and the Gabago. Even then, I would choose so personally, after those two giants out of Pacino and DeNiro, I'm taking Pachino. I'm taking De Niro. Why are you taking De Niro? I want to notice. Because they have classics, right? Yes. But DeNiro, for me, does it more and better. He does it better. So what does Pacino have? The Godfather. And I can't believe it, woman. But not only that, he has Carlito's Way. Oh, Carlito's Way. Carlito's Way is a fucking gem that makes me cry at the end every time. What else does he have? He, I think, was another one. He was good. It was as long as the CGI was asked. They should have made him look younger. My thing with De Niro is that Deniero, he's been in some of the biggest, greatest gangster movies of all time. Bronx tale Bronxdale rest in peace. Paul Remember he was a taxi driver. I mean Raging Bull meet the Parents series. He has range. The thing I like about De Niro and then I like about Denzel is that these dudes have range. Now, I don't think I've seen Denzel in like a comedic role yet, for real. And he probably will get there. Now. He's getting older. But I mean, look at the movies that he's been in. The Mighty Quinn training philadelphia training Day the Equalizer vocal Eli fences glory what's the one where he's a pilot? Flight. Flight. He's assumed so many different roles. I got one who's up there. Tom Hanks, 100%. Great voice actor. You got big forest gump saving Private Ryan. Leo. I like Leo. Leonardo DiCaprio Leonardo. Why did it take for him so long to get an Oscar? And I like the revenant, but I don't know. I feel like if there was going to be any movie that he was going to win an Oscar on, it should have been Django. Django or Great Gatsby. inception. Titanic. Like Basketball Diaries. What about Morgan Freeman? Samuel Jackson. Too. Underrated Bro. Because the thing that people don't even know about Samuel L. Jackson. Let me give Sam Jackson some praise. First of all, he was in so many smaller roles. Coming to America. Coming to America. Goodfeldas menace to Society. Yes, he was in goodfellas because I can never tell if that's him or not. You remember? Yes, he was stacked. That was him. But you would never know because he so many small roles. And then he broke out in Jungle Fever. That's when he broke out. And then right after that he had Pope fiction. There was a third. Die Hard. And then after that, he just kept Shaft. Another great movie. I mean, Kingsman, another good movie. Carter. Coach Carter was amazing. I was mary Freeman looked the same. Hoochie man. Now, what about actresses? That's hard. Barbara Streisand is up there. Halle Berry is up there. We all know I love Halle Berry. You need to do your little monologue again. I don't have Barry White pulled up. Unfortunately, I can't. The chick from V for Vendetta, what's her name? I don't know. She plays Luke Skywalker. She pays Padme. Oh, Natalie Portman. Oh, Natalie Portman is amazing. Natalie Portman's amazing. I got one. Good for you, too. Julia Roberts. Yes. But here's the thing. Julia Roberts hasn't been in movies in years. Fucking Roberts, my boy. I love her. Julia fucking Roberts. I've never seen Mike Simpson hard for a white woman. I have loved Julia Roberts since I was, like, seven. I think that was my first celebrity crush. Julia Roberts has been it for me probably since that movie. Love that. I'm going to go home and watch it. I just thought about something that we can talk about. My older Davis. That's my last one. Yes. I don't think I've seen enough movies from her. Bro. Everything she's in. Did I send you all the trailer of the new movie Tribe? She was in Fences. She was Denzel's wife in fences. I want to say something because I. Love historical pieces. And that shit looks like it's pretty historically accurate, or at least it's a historical movie. We all got to see that shit. Yes. When is it coming out? I don't remember. But I'll definitely this year, I think I'll find out and then we'll go watch it. Yeah. You know what? Here's another movie that actually dropped recently, or the trailer dropped recently, that I want your opinions on. That's Black Panther. Okay. Because I found your reaction date interesting because you said flat out, I'm not excited for it. Don't hold it. Before you go, don't get me wrong. That was one of the best movie trailers I've ever seen. I've ever swear to God I've ever seen. I've seen some great trailers, but Tim's music, just the whole vibe, the aura of that trailer was crazy. It was sad. It made me feel something. You can build some Black excellence in my body without even knowing. Right? You know, a kid's name is slipping my mind. Chuck Bellman. You know that he's not in here. But the way they portrayed it, do you see? Like, something happened to him in the movie and they're going to address it. So I like the way they did it. I personally am very excited for it. There's a lot of scenes because I've always been like a Marvel fan, but I've never been too much. Wolverine was my favorite Marvel character growing up. It was not Black Panther. So I don't know a lot about Black Panther's character as far as the comics go and how Marvel has addressed it. So there's a lot of things that go on in the Black Panther universe that I am ignorant to because I don't know a lot about it. So I'm excited to learn and see how they address it and how they did the movie without charity. Now, I know good and well Ryan Coogler is going to do a bang up job in this movie. If you guys don't know who Ryan Coogler is, look at his resume. Black Panther the Creed Movies fruitvale Station He has directed Michael B. Jordan's Best movies by Mile. Now I know he's going to be coming in as Killmonger. No, I have no idea. The only way I could ever see Killmonger even coming back to this movie if they do some what if shit, it's like a different universe. But I think they could because we were left to assume that Killmonger died, right? His death isn't confirmed, but we assume based on how they did the scene, which I thought was excellent, it's almost like they fucking knew, right? You assume that Killmongers. Matt's got something to say. I know I'm going to get Chastise on this podcast, too, but I still haven't seen Black Panther. What the fuck have you been doing over the past four years? Listen, I want to hear it. One of the best Marvel movies ever. I don't like the MCU. I don't like Marvel movies. Okay. But I've said this to you guys on other, as you may say, I just find them before you like you're a Star Wars fan, aren't you? I am. Pussy. Hold on a second. Just about Star Wars. I like historical pieces. I guess you could say Star Wars my favorite. I know Star Wars. That's like the only bit of Sci-Fi I'll maybe go into. I understand. I like superheroes. So at first I was always a big DC fan because I was like their heroes better. But the movies DC movies suck. DC has is fucking up because they have the potential to supersede fucking Marvel. And they're letting Marvel just shit all over. You know what movie I think is going to save DC universe? Don't say Aquaman. No. Or two. Whatever. Black Adam. Black Adam finally having a big time alist actor as a lead role in one of their movies. Hold on. Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Right now, everyone knows he's pretty much the most popular actor in the whole universe right now. cooking. And as a wrestling fan, I can do that. Him. Being Black Adam is huge for the DC universe. It's going to bring people into the movies. And other thing is, Dwayne The Rock Johnson is more than just a big good looking Samoan dude. He's a great actor. He's a great actor. I mean, great Iron Gang all the way down to here. He's a great actor. And the thing is, I think it's kind of paying homage too to the black half of them. Because keep in mind, his dad, Rocky Johnson, was African American. I'm sure this is personal for him too, that he now has to represent an entire community with this movie. Yeah, I'm looking forward to that. Rated art. I think he did a great job. I thought Superman was Henry Cavill. Yeah, I've seen every Superman movie that was ever made. You didn't like all corners? You didn't like his depiction of Superman? No, I thought it was good. I don't know what it is, the one movies but the CGI is so cheesy. Which one was it? The one where what's? The guy that was in Seven. The villain in Seven. Have you seen that movie? Seven? I haven't seen the one with the movie with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. Yeah, I was actually starting to watch that. Seven is a good movie. I heard it was like a side thriller type. It fucks with you. Like all that shit could actually happen. It's weird as fuck. Anyway, he was in a movie where he played Lou Lex Luther, right. And one of the scenes, someone shoots a bullet at Superman and it like hits his eyeball and crushes. And I thought that was lame as fuck. Yeah. Probably the lamest thing I've ever seen in my life. I was like, what the fuck is this? I don't like previous superman, even with Christopher Reese. I thought those were cheesy. Now, I got a question for you. You're MCU fan. We told my MCU. Did you see Thor love and Thunder? Not yet. Oh, my God. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. The opening scene of Thor lovely Thunder, don't ruin it for me. No, I'm not going to tell you about it. But holy shit, that shit was dope. Once again, Jane as the mighty Thor was dope. Was dope. I'm not going lie. Her lines are hella corny the entire movie. But that's kind of her character. Natalie Portland's character. The movie soundtrack was amazing, isn't it? Guns and Roses. I love that band. I love that band. They opened it up with welcome to the Jungle now. That's all I'm going to say. They opened that movie out with welcome to the Jungle. That opening scene goes crazy. Now, what a lot of people don't like, in which I kind of felt the same way with Thor Love and Thunder. This is the first Marvel movie. I could say they overdid it with the comic relief. It was too much. We all know how Corrug is in the movies. He's the comic relief shout out Tyco. He's awesome. I fuck with him heavy. He's done a great job in all his Marvel movies, directing. But there was too much comic relief. It was like there were moments that I really needed to be serious, and they were trying to be funny. And that's the only thing I didn't like about that movie. And of course, the comic book heads are like, this is not how we're working the comics. Listen, what you got to understand, what people got to get is that if you're going to make a cinematic film, which is two which is 2 hours different from a comic book medium, it's two different things. You can't make it just like the comics. How's it going to be better? All I'm going to say is this. The people that complain about it from the comic side of things don't get pussy. That's all I'm going to say. Okay. Like our comic book still a thing, apparently. So they're still a thing. They definitely are. Definitely a thing. I've never was a comic book guy. I never was, either. That's why DC or Marvel, none of that. I was never in. Didn't give a fuck. Yeah. All right. Which I got coming for the weekend. Any major plans? I got nothing. I mean, I'm going out with a buddy tonight, but I mean, other than that, I'm just prepping for my new job that I got, which starts next week. It is my girlfriend's birthday weekend, so I'm going back and forth to Fill. Working on the weekend like usual. Yeah. I feel so bad for you because we do all these things and then you can never make it. Like, for instance, the Whiskey recording, because you couldn't make it because you were working. I would have loved to have seen your reaction to some of the stuff we were talking about. I feel like Hunter would have been way more sound than I was. Oh, my God. See, yours the reaction I wanted to see the most, but I knew you weren't there to get it, so I got it from you, though. So that's all I needed to do. Yo, man, I mean, this man showed me a lock that you put on your penis. You can't take off for a week. What the fuck? That was wild. That you can't take it off like no one can take it off once it's locked until the time is up. All right, folks, time is up. That's it, man. We are out for this week's episode of the Bro Vegas podcast. I am the undercover Brother. Panama Red, you? Yep. It's Dante, baby. Hoochie. Manhunter, a paddle is better than a tree branch. Shit on that way. We're going to catch up. You've been listening to the Bromigos podcast. Fuck you. I'll see you tomorrow. Okay. Shiva back. Another cradle.
