Speaker 1 (00:03):
Media. You know, it's a fascinating thing to watch how
slang in words evolve specifically around insults, which is what
this episode is about, specifically the strategy of insults. I
think I said in one of the little breakdowns about
(00:23):
the DNC in one of the video ones, hopefully you're
following us on social media, on the Politics pod and
on my TikTok, which is just prop hip hop because
I'm trying to grow my own name too. But when
you're gonna roast somebody, when you're gonna call him something
like if you gonna drag somebody like that, it's gotta
be kind of true, Like there has to be even
if it's not factual, it's got to feel like it
(00:46):
might be true. That's why the jd Vance and couch
thing works because you can't prove that he actually had
sexual intercourse with a couch. But looking at this dude
and knowing that you know dudes like him, I could
see that be it true, like douchebag frat boy, you know,
out partying, got drunk, like I could. I could picture
(01:07):
Brett Kavanaugh doing it like just that type dude. So
you don't know if it's true, but you could see that,
like that's why that roast will work. And then I
gave an example which I still feel strongly about about
Kamala Harris, where it's like, if you're gonna roast her,
it's gotta seem true. May you can't verify it, but
it's gotta seem true, Like she don't date black men. Well,
(01:27):
she's married, so there's that, but you got but has
she ever dated a black man? She don't find black
men attractive. You don't know that, but I could see that.
I could see how that might be, like her vibe
little light skin and bougie. But that's just it's not true.
But like it's gotta seem like it's true for it
to stick anyway. The evolution of a roasting to somebody
(01:50):
as a strategy, and the terms we used to use.
I remember, like in more Gas Busters, like you know,
early nineties, you a MOREK sucker MC, which is something
I called my daughter all the time, my little daughter,
like a little sucker em C. Like it's at this
point it's funny to call some call somebody a sucker EMC,
a sucker MC if you don't know, but yeah, you know,
(02:10):
obviously there there are lines you can't cross. You know,
we was kids talking about somebody mama. Unless it's like
we just cracking your mama jokes, that's different, but that's
not specifically your actual mama. But if it's like I'm
really talking about your actual mom, it's like, all right, nigga,
we finn fight. Obviously calling a man a bitch, whole
ass nigga, put sass nigga, like the like they do
(02:31):
down sotoud oh, put sass nigga. You start talking like that,
it means like yo, it's it's about to get serious
and Lanta like lame man nigga, like lame man. You
know what I'm saying. Like these are things. They're kind
of regional insults, you know, whole ass nigga. Like you
call somebody that, it's like, we're okay, that sucks, but
(02:52):
you're kind of kidding. Now with girls, you know, they
call it, they call a friends bitch out. But then
you could tell by the tone and if we friends,
what the you what you mean by that? The tone matters.
But at least in California, what has become probably the
worst thing you could call somebody. It's a weird old
(03:12):
hood politics y'all. So this episode is about strategy, tone
and storytelling. But before we get into that, what look
is like this? What look is like this? Bull look
(03:39):
is like this? What look is like this? Yeah? Yeah,
what look is like this? Uh it's like this. So yeah,
Uh some light news. I'm on the new Fashon record,
which is cool, a song called Tots for Tots. Been
moving with this crew called mid Nineties and yeah, you know,
(04:01):
I've been a long time fan of Fash and had
a chance to finally connect with him and make some music.
I've learned when it comes to my career, especially music
is just like yo, play a chill, play the long game,
don't force yourself into situations it'll it'll come to you.
It'll come to you. And I've been trying to connect
(04:23):
with Sean for a while, so I'm just glad it
finally worked out and it's a dope song and the
songs out now, so it's called Toys for TODs. It's
on Fast Shawn's new record called You Owe Us with Interest.
I also this year came out on a track with
Blue of Evidence songs called Hell Damn Anyway. Uh, So
(04:45):
that's good news, funny news, Costco said, keep my name
out your mouth. We ain't got nothing to do with
this diddy thing. We ain't sell. We don't even sell
baby oil like that. Don't speak on my name. Do
not bring me into your mess, black people. My name
is Wes and what I ain't in this mess. I
(05:10):
ain't in this mess. My name is Bennett and I
ain't in it. That's Costco say, I ain't in y'all
this nasty, freaky as. I'm not gonna need to stay
his ass inside. I ain't a part of that. And
(05:30):
not so fun news. Uh Israel has taken out the
leader of Hezbealad nosra La, and I mean he's been
there leader for like thirty two years, so like it
or love it, you know, he they dude, And it's
(05:51):
not like they don't have a succession plan because he's
been the leader for thirty two years. And again, let's
make this very clear. Hesbe lying boys, niggas don't like
y'all understand. You know, this is why we say this
gangbanging because it's like I hope you know, I hope
you don't think any of us is arguing in favor
(06:15):
of anybody except for the suffering people of Palestine and
Lebanon and folks being carpetbomb because within that airstrike of
him taking up Israel, taking out the leader, a thousand
other people have died. Now you would ask me, uh,
(06:35):
what about the deaths inside of Israel. Again, this is
why we call it gangbanging, because if your argument is
Israel ain't gonna be safe until all its enemies are destroyed,
all of its enemies can say the same thing, that's
why it's gangbanging. But I would say this if I
(07:01):
had a chance to sit down, because obviously will not obviously,
because the fact is Israel they want it with Iran.
That's what they wanted with They're trying to go head
up with Iran. For a long time they wasn't trying
to go head up with Ran, but it seemed like
Iran don't want to go head up with them. And
(07:21):
if I'm in, and so they iron essentially backs Kamas
has beloved who these like, all these people, And if
I were to speak to those groups, it's like all right, word,
you know, I mean, it's cool. You got somebody to
come on and you know, give you the tools, you know,
put that work in your hand, But I kind of
noticed that they don't ever be outside fighting with y'all.
(07:44):
It seemed to be like they okay with y'all dying
in the streets and having your pages blown up. Ain't
nobody taking the heat to Tehran in which Tehran's like
with Nigga, that's because we got nukes, Nigga. If you
at nukes, Jo, I'm saying like it'd be a different story.
Y'all go out there and fight. Won't need it before
(08:05):
we got nukes. But we can help y'all. That's y'all's problem.
I'm just I'm just saying, like, maybe your big homies
don't love you the way they say they do. It's
all I'm saying. Hurricane Helen just absolutely dogged walk North Cacilaca,
(08:29):
man Ashville just in ruins, shout out the homies in
Greenville at Bridge City Coffee. Man, I know they roasters down. Man.
I had the homies checked in and they told me
they all right, but they like, yeah, Man, I got
neighbors who's like tree just through their roofs and man,
So if you got folks out there, man, I'm hoping
(08:51):
and praying your folks is all right. This puts a
stall in an already dying business, which is my cold
brew coffee. But they're had some beans coming in from
Honduras that obviously that which are going to be roasted
in Greenville. But it seems like shipping is kind of
(09:14):
an issue right now, so we're gonna pause that a
little longer. Yeah, Oh, Vice presidential debate speaking of weirdos
is happening this week, so that makes this show rather relevant.
All right, here we go. It's like this, all right,
(09:41):
how how weirdo became like the worst thing you got
somebody out here is beyond me. How it happened, But
what it's communicating is and then I'm gonna give you
an example of this in action before I start talking
about political strategy. The the attitude about it is it's
dismissive in the sense that I almost don't have time
(10:04):
for the things that you are bringing up. What you're
worried about is so unimportant and just just strange. Why
do you care about this? What are you talking about?
Why did you acting like this? You weirdo? Like I
just like what's happening right now, very much of like
(10:25):
the office and Jim looking at the camera like what's
what's what are we? What is he talking about? You weirdo?
And when somebody like a weirdo, like I really don't
even have to fight. It's like how you know how
when you a giggle like miss shuts your whole ass
and walk like somebody being very serious ready to fight you,
and you're like miss shuts your whole ass and we
(10:47):
just laugh and walk away like somebody seriously trying to
boss up on you, but it's funny or you're just
like bro weirdo, like relaxed, kind of like ain't nobody
and the giggle and walk away. It's kind of communicating,
like bro, I beat the brakes off you, like I
listen walk like this you don't want this smoke? Like
(11:08):
this is not even worth it, Like just go sit
down somewhere, like what is your problem? I'm not even
gonna fight you over this or even defend myself or
even engage. You're weirdo, Like what is fool's problem? Like
who mans is this? Like hey, who know cauz? Like
why are you? What is he talking about? So it's
(11:29):
that attitude, even if this person is trying to bully you,
If this person is trying to press you you're weirdo,
Like I'm not weirdo? Like what did you you know?
Just what you are so concerned about doesn't matter. It's
so beneath us, and you are deeply unserious, Like I
(11:50):
just can't I can't even take you serious. So it's
not can't take you serious in the sense that you're
not dangerous or that like you're not capable of violence,
but just that like what you like this? Don't like
why I don't know none of us understand why this
is such a big deal to you, the way for
which you're approaching us about something that's really silly. It's
(12:13):
like I feel weird, like weird though, like what is
your problem that? That is the attitude and this is
why or one of the reasons why Kendrick won because
it wasn't so much I make more money than you.
I'm a better rapper than you, because he's clearly a
(12:33):
better rapper. I'm sorry, y'all, let's let's just be honest.
Do we make more hits? No, because he's even admitted
you're a hit maker. You make us dance, but you
want to get into some battle rap you can't rap
better than me, But that's not the point. The point
is freaky asked. Niggas need to stay they asses side. Hey,
like you know what I'm saying, Like you're weird though,
Like what do you know the a minor? Like I
(12:54):
heard you like I'm young, Like that's weird. It's weird
that you like minors. It's weird that you're a grown
man with children and you still partying like you're a
twenty year old. That's weird. So that's the argument he's making,
Like it's like, y'all you weird, bro, Like why you
ain't grow up? Are you following like you you otherise
(13:15):
in a way that is powerful because following my metaphor here,
what is supposed to be cool is the Hugh Hefner life,
the playboy, permanent bachelor, international player with a passport, always
got girls, always partying, endless summer, endless money. I'm in
(13:36):
every country, I'm in every party, I got every girl
I've I've smashed every prom queen in every city. I've
you know, slept with every beauty queen in every country.
And I'm still on a boat. I'm still on my yacht,
and i still gotta mansion. That's what's cool. I'm the
I got, I got drinks, were drinking, we partying, we smoking,
(13:58):
we got girls, we got money. That's supposed to be cool.
What Kendrick did was be like, Nigga, you're thirty eight
with two children. What are you serious? How have you
not grown out of this? It's supposed to be square
to go home and be all domesticated where you're just like, yeah,
this is like you know, Dad Bob dad life. And
that's why he was like, Yo, I'm sorry in Meet
(14:21):
the Grams, like I'm sorry, I live a quiet life.
Noes that Meet the Grams or yeah, I'm sorry, I
live a quiet life that I just I go home
and I raise my children and I love my one wife.
You're the weirdo because we're in our mid to late thirties. Nigga,
be a better man, and why do you have betaphiles on?
(14:42):
Like you're a weirdo. So it wasn't so much the
rap thing. I just got off the phone with the
homie Justin at It's all happening the you know, ambros
and for heads, brilliant, brilliant video YouTube channel like please
follow Justin. He's one of the smartest brains in hip hop.
I don't care what nobody say, but he was like
Drake could have done much better in his battle if
he was just a better person. Like if he was
(15:04):
a better person, then Kidrick probably wouldn't have much to say.
You're a weirdo. I'm telling you how to culture feels
from euphoria. Like I'm just I think you're I think
you hate women. I think you're jealous of them. When
I see you, pop, I see two bitches like you
are weird and you think you think this is cool,
(15:26):
but it's it's weird. You a grown man around teenagers, Nigga,
that's weird. So this is when you call this is
when you turn a group or a person into a weirdo.
Why it works? And this, my friend, is the battle
that the Republicans and the Democrats are engaged in which
(15:48):
one of y'all are weirdos, next weirdos weirdos. All right,
(16:26):
we're back now. I am talking storytelling and messaging. Okay,
I'm not talking policy, nor am I talking how I feel. Okay,
this is not my opinion. All Right, y'all know when
it's my opinion, I feel like it's pretty obvious because again,
I am not a journalist. I have no duties to
(16:50):
be fair and balanced. I will be because that's me
being a human, and because I don't owe any of
these politicians or people I talk I owe them anything.
This is all transactional. So I will tell you when
it's what I think, and especially when I think, like
there is a life and death situation here. You know,
(17:11):
I agree with Robert Evans. I'm like, I think the
repoking party needs to be burnt, burn to the ground,
and y'all need to start over, like you're in a
death grip right now, Like y'all need to start over
like this. We need to have conservatives in the world
like it helps. It helps having that push and pull.
I agree. I don't agree with always what you think about.
(17:33):
I think you offer a perspective that can help. But dog,
whatever the hell y'all are now, ain't that anyway? That's
my opinion. This is an understanding of narrative and strategy. Okay,
So I might say some in this video or in
this video, in this podcast, some very outlandish takes that
(17:55):
again one more time, I don't believe. I am just saying,
this is the story that's being communicated. Now, let's do
this weirdos. The story that the Republicans have been able
(18:29):
to say about the left is they've been able to
say the left are weirdos and weird normal they want
weird stuff, like we're just we can't even be normal. Now,
how did they tell this story? What they told the
story first starting in the nineties around the concept of abortion.
(18:51):
They're just like, nigga, that's a baby. I don't understand
why you're trying to convince me that an unborn child
is not a child. What is y'all talking about? What
is it? You're weird? We're not like you are you
you're gonna convince me this is not killing? It isn't
that the goal? Like you're gonna use terms like terminate
(19:13):
rather than kill, as if I don't know that that's
the same thing. Again, this is their story. What I
believe y'all don't be clipping this thing and putting it
in no, but this is their story. Like, look, this
is absurd, Like that's not how you finna tell me
that two humans just created a human and that human
(19:34):
before would get out the wound ain't a human? What
is you talking about? You're weird? That was the argument
that was what that was that, But that goes back
way back to the nineties, to the eighties and the
nineties when they started trying to overturn Roe v. Wade,
like y'all you guys, like, have y'all lost y'all mind?
And then the next thing, the next evolution of that
was the LGBTQ, right. Their argument was, why are you
(20:00):
trying to convince me this is natural? Well, I mean,
y'all can't even make humans? Like what do you? I
don't understand what y'all are talking about? Of course you
should be able to live, but that's not that's not marriage,
Like what do you? I don't understand what you're saying,
Like you could have something else? I mean, you weird
for making me want to believe? What are you talking about?
(20:20):
Like that? Doesn't y'all are like this? What? Why? Like
I don't understand? Like this is you can't like Dick
Vagina like you can't tell them too, I don't get it.
Why is how are we the weird ones? Like that
was their arguments, like how are we the weird ones?
When this is how the species? Like I mean, what
(20:41):
what living creature? Isn't the whole earthwork like this nigga,
the trees are this, the trees are male and feet
like it's seed and ovary like cut open an orange, nigga,
that's ovary, Like, I don't I just what do you?
I don't get it? Dick Vagina like what do you what?
You're weird for trying to tell me that them two
(21:03):
don't naturally go together? Like you, I mean, just look
at it, one to stick the other as a whole.
I don't know, it's what? Right? Was their argument? Again?
So they're like, bro, like, if things don't have a definition,
then they don't mean anything. So once you start stretching
the definition of stuff, stuff stops meaning things. This argument
continues to evolve into trans rites, into pronouns into when
(21:30):
we started talking about therapy and toxic masculinity and you know,
the nuclear family, They're just like, I don't understand what
the fuck's a thrupple? Like what are y'all talking about?
I don't like. And they got to be for a
long time the outsiders, because they weren't up. They got
to be except for when the few times that you know,
(21:50):
Reagan and Bush was doing their thing. But as cultures
started shifting, people got tired of they rhetoric, and they
just started feeling like are The story they were telling
was like, we feel like we're the only sober people
in a room full of drunk folk. And I don't
know if you've ever been the designated driver during a
room full of drunk folk, how you realize how ridiculous
(22:13):
everybody looks when they drunk. You're not jealous of that,
seems like they have a more fun to you. You
looking at them like they look ridiculous? Am I the
only one? I'm the only look I'm the normal one, y'all. All,
y'all not gonna convince me. While you guys are taking
turns jumping into this fountain outside, you're doing that because
you're drunk, Like I'm the only one. I don't understand,
(22:35):
like okay, getting the car. That was the story they're
trying to tell. They're like, dude, America's like, go home, America,
you're drunk. Like what are y'all doing? I don't like
what is happening right now? How are you finna tell
me that a dude marrying a girl and having children
is we like, what's wrong with that? Then we started
(22:55):
talking about things like masculinity and toxic masculinity. And they
kept being like, dude, you're telling me that just a
dude being a dude is toxic. So I can't like fishing,
I can't like fighting. I don't understand trucks are trucks
are cool, Fighting's cool. I like, I'm just a dude,
Like I'm It's not so much that I hate females.
(23:18):
I'm just not one. Y'all act like I'm going home
and beating my wife and being like feed me, Like, no,
I'm just I'm just a dude, and nobody else gotta
apologize for just being themselves. It's like it seemed like
the only way for me to not to be a
non toxic man is to just be a girl. That's
(23:39):
crazy to me, is their argument, and their argument again.
By my lord, don't get me started about canceling culture.
Y'all mad at mister potato head, Well, like, what is
the m and ms? We gotta stop you canceling it.
You can sling, miss potato head. You make a doctor,
doctor seuss. What is wrong with y'all? Like, Oh my god,
(24:01):
it's just a It's a toy. It's a toy, guys,
It's a toy. You're weird, was their argument. Again, was
their argument, not my argument. I don't understand why this
is so bad. Y'all are weird? Was their argument. Again,
It's not what I think. This is the story they
were telling and have been for years. Why the Trump
(24:24):
thing worked is because of a lot of reasons, but
one was we just want to return to normal. It's
not that we hate anybody. Again, this is the story.
It's just y'all are weird. Then you add the trance
thing and the pronouns, and their story was, what the
fuck is wrong with you? That is a man and
(24:45):
you want me to not call him he? But it's
clearly that you talk about the bathrooms and the gender
neutral stuff, and they're losing their mind, like, how are
y'all y'all are weird? This is listen, that's weird. I'm
just saying that's weird. It's weird that you want me
to call a man a woman. It's weird that this
(25:07):
woman wants to go into the male bathrooms. It's weird
that tampons are in the boy's bathroom. That's their argument,
that's just weird. Boys don't menstruate. I don't understand. Then
they threw their hands up, like, well, shit, what's a woman?
Can you tell me what a woman is? These weirdos
can't answer the question what is it? This is the
easiest question. Was their argument, you're weird. You're like, what
(25:31):
do you mean you feel like you're a girl? Son,
you're a boy? Okay, if you feel like you're a girl,
you're confused. Again, this is not the way I feel.
This is their narrative. All of that is weird, and
they tied that into the narrative of what they would
(25:51):
call wokeness, where it was like, so I can't talk
about the founding of the country, I can't talk about
seventeen seventy six. I have to talk about slavery. Yes,
slavery suck. But then we end that why the hell
is you still talking about like nigga, you free? Like
I don't know, Like what are we you have in
a nice house, Like what are you talking about? Y'all
(26:13):
are weird? We'd normal, you're weird while we got movies
like Lady Bolers. It's because their argument is y'all are weird,
Like I don't understand why this is so hard for you.
A dude is a dude and a girl is a girl,
and even if you chop up yo junk, you're still
(26:35):
what you are like. And that's okay. Why is it
you want me to ignore the obvious? Again, this is
their story, not mine. I just don't understand why this
is so difficult for y'all. And that and the fact
that you're making me to beat the neanderthal is even
more weird. This is their argument. This is again Kendrick saying,
(26:57):
you telling me stay at home and taking care of
my children is weird. No, nigga, you're the weirdo that
you're that old and Kate go home and raise your children.
That you still out here partying like you twenty two,
that's weird. So then you fast forward to the streak
that the Democrats had for presidents, right, and obviously you
(27:18):
know the white lash of Trump is where it ends. Right.
I think all of this is just whether it's the
tea party or any of it, is just a response
of a black man making into the office. These people
just couldn't broke their brains. But that's again, that's my opinion.
But take Chance the rapper, follow me, guys. What we
loved about Chance is that he became famous off of mixtape.
(27:41):
It is just a mixtape. He was an outsider, no label,
just good music and a great following and a hard work,
and he became a star. An outsider. I am not
the industry. I am I'm the champion of the independence,
the underdog. But when the underdog starts winning, they cease
(28:02):
to be the underdog. You cease to be the outsider
once you sign a label deal, once your campaign works,
you are now the industry. So you can't keep calling
yourself the underdog. You can't keep calling yourself the indie
hero because now you're on well, now you're a star.
Now you're playing arenas. You become the system, so you
can't do the them thing because you are now them.
(28:25):
What the Republicans were able to do during the Clinton
years the Obama years is be like, we're the outsiders
because look where culture is going, and we're the ones
trying to keep everybody grounded, like we're the ones trying
to remind you that water is wet and gravity works.
That that was their argument, and y'all are floating in space.
(28:47):
But then the tables turn. The outsider became the mainstream,
and when the like we're normal, they're weird switches to
and now we're in charge, and now we're bully and
anything that does not fit inside of our tent is
not only weird, needs to be destroyed. And this is
(29:08):
where the Republicans went wrong, in my opinion, I'll tell
you what I mean next. I we're back again. I'm
(29:39):
just talking strategy and storytelling. What happened in the storytelling
is them saying they're normal, we're normal, they're weird, and
the causes they were attached themselves to started to attract
real weirdos. These are the extremists of the world. And
(30:00):
in that it pulled in deeply racist people who moved
from I just don't understand this whole trans thing and
this whole abortion thing to yeah, and they need to
die and trans need to not exist. So it pushed
it too far. You became bullies, and rather than being
(30:23):
like I don't understanding trans thing, but like whatever, like
everybody's welcome, you were more like they shouldn't have rights.
They shouldn't be able to drink in our fountains, and
parents shouldn't be able to So you started they started
becoming an overlord. You got dudes saying, if you vote
for a woman, you're not a man, Like what you
(30:43):
got Dudes like Matt Walsh arguing that the Little Mermaid
couldn't possibly be black because she lives at the bottom
of the ocean. Nigga, that's a maid up character, it's
a mermaid. What is you talking about with the masculinity thing?
Now that they up, rather than taking the responsibility of saying, yeah,
you know, in our worldview, we believe that men should
be protectors and providers. Maybe we need to think about
(31:06):
the ways for which we have interacted with females and
maybe maybe they do have a point. Maybe we should listen.
And they were like, no, shine this halogen light on
my balls when when me too movements started hitting, rather
than being like damn homie, yeah, Like yo, that's not
pimp man, Like why you know you shouldn't be you
shouldn't be treating girls. It's like, why are you so
(31:28):
hard on men? That's just a man trying to get laid. Listen,
men are alphas and it's a sigma beta boy, a
soy boy that isn't trying to slay every woman he wants, Like, bro,
what like that? They just rather they doubled down on
it and it just it got so oppressive in the
(31:49):
rules and the avatar of the Trump to where you
had to twist yourself into a pretzel. You were the
law and order people, and you about to elect a felon,
a man doing all the stuff, all the family values
that you said you wanted to hold on to is
a man that don't hold none of them value. To
the point to where about the abortion thing to points
(32:10):
awear rather than being like, yo, we know, we just
believe in the sanctity of life. You like, I don't
care if your mama dying. I don't care if your
pregnancy is sepsist. I don't care if you raped. I
don't care if it's more Lesstation Nigga had that baby.
Like Yo, you get the News Max, you get the
fake news, you get this whole world, this conspiracy world.
You get the QAnon where you went from being the
(32:33):
normal ones to now y'all are weirdos, which is the
narrative the Democrats are giving now. So now the story
coming out of the DNC and moving into this campaign
that we're about to experience again, I'm just talking strategy
and narrative. Everything with the Republicans is doom and gloom,
(32:55):
like you want to shut the border. So the problem
of the world is immigrants. Y'all. Don't read like what
are y'all talking about? Your leader is crazy and no
matter what this man does, you just gonna follow him.
That's weird. You've abandoned all of your morals so that
you could keep this guy. This guy, if you look
(33:16):
at us, we looked at our the head of our leader.
It was like the head of our party and was like, bruh,
it's time for you to sit down. You're gonna cost
us this election. You know what that is? That's normal.
If you see a guy who's slipping and is a liability,
you approach him and you ask him to sit down
for the greater good. You don't keep that man in power.
(33:38):
You don't bend to his will. No, you you communicate
to him that like sir, you've done your part, but like, bro,
you gotta go. We're not gonna follow you into the abyss.
You know what. I'm like, I'm not gonna follow you
to the gates of hell. To follow one man into
the gates of hell is weird. The Democrats finally figured
(33:58):
out how to talk about and how to talk about
the GOP and how they talking about them is the
way that they were talked about, which is weird. Normal
y'all are weird. It's how Kendrick talked about Drake where
it's like, bro, that's not dope. Like all this stuff
you think is cool is not cool. That's it's weird. Man, Like,
(34:21):
why is you making Why is the Halkster there? He
brought out the hawkster? Bruh, it's weird? What okay, that's
your stars hulk Hogan like in character? What yo? That's
(34:44):
not weird to y'all, y'all really let them my pillow
guy talk to my pillow dude? That shr is this
your king? Y'all don't y'all don't see that that's weird.
So rather than pearl clutch and being like, oh, we
can make better jokes, you do the Kendrick row where
you just like brod freaky ass y'all need to stay
(35:08):
ass inside weirdos. What are y'all talking? What's this fool
talking about? Because it's like, I don't have to say
this racism weird. I just don't understand how you could
like dislike an entire group of people, especially when you
ain't never met none of them. Anti Semitism is weird,
like what you believe. At the same time, these people
(35:32):
are vermin and control all levers of power. They're subhuman
and in charge of all the money and entertainment, like
what we believe in World War two in America being
the greatest generation we ever had in the defeat than
the defeating of Hitler. And he might have been right
about the Jews. That's what it's weird. It's weird to
(35:57):
think that immigrants are the totality of our problem. That's
what it's also weird to just like nigga gay people.
It is gay, there's gay people. I don't like. What
is your problem, dude? Like, why do you care? Hey? Listen?
Why you care about what's in the bathroom In Minnesota?
If a person listen, what the law say is if
(36:19):
you men straight, we got pass for you. Why you care? Man?
It's dudes on TikTok painting they nails, and it's dudes
in the comments absolutely outraged that man is a stranger.
Why you care so much? What? What do you care? Bro?
What happened to the masculinity that says I take care
(36:41):
of my home and my own business. I ain't got
nothing to do with me. What a man does in
his own house is up to him. I don't care. Listen,
you want me to call you her, you want me
to call you they all right? Because I don't give
a like okay, Like it's a matter of respect again.
If we believe in dignity, honor, and respect, even if
(37:05):
it don't make sense to me, it don't matter. I'm
respecting you. I don't have to lord over yo. That's weird, bro,
Like why you feel like you gotta control all that?
Fam Relax? And for the life of me, I don't
understand how in the world you don't see that man
as a con artist. And this is not in any
(37:25):
way a defense of any of our leaders. We just
saying weird those At first, what the Republic or what
the Democrats tried to do was dismiss the whole Maga
movement just like, ah, stupid, it could never win. And
then they mess around and win. It's just like when
you got a bully that you don't take serious, you
just giggle on that bully fire on you, you learn
how to take them serious. And that's what happened. The
(37:46):
Democrats got their ass kicked and then they was like,
oh wait a minute, you can't stick to his level.
You can't. You're not as funny as not as funny
as Trump, Like that's the reality. The man is funny,
and the man will say what he needed to say
talking about the crowd size is ai my nigga? Like
what phrases like black jobs. I know he didn't mean
(38:08):
it to be funny, but that is funny. How do
you weaponize that? How do you turn all of this
stuff around? That's why he's good at That's why his
nicknames work is because again, like I said before, that's
how he wrote somebody where it's like it's kinda true.
That's what makes it funny. Little Marko like he's short,
sleepy Joe. He just that's how he seemed crooked Hillary,
like all of us know this about the Clintons. Nobody
(38:30):
trust the Clintons. That's why it worked. Don't nobody trust
the Clintons and don't nobody and nobody had any confidence
in Joe Biden Like that's that's why it worked. But
fam why you gotta be weird about everything? Is now
the narrative Kamala like the Democrats are like, yo, you
just gonna you just gonna not help the homies in Ukraine,
(38:50):
Like what is you? He's gonna kick out everybody, like
you're gonna act like trans people don't exist, or you're
just gonna he's gonna ban books, like what do you?
That's weird, fam Like y'all. It feels like y'all trying
to go backwards and they are that's their brand. We
want to return, make America great again. We're trying to
return this stuff. Like, Yo, it's weird to be against progress,
(39:12):
Like what sort of nostalgia are you stuck into? And
it's like, oh, I get it. You stuck in a
world where and this is what they're not saying, but saying,
you just want a world where white people were supreme
and never had to think about anything else. That's the
world you want, where the whole system worked to just
for you. That's weird, gee, because it's the opposite of
(39:32):
all we learned about what America was. I thought America
was a tapestry. You ain't never you didn't do an
Ellis Island project, you ain't been to the Statue of
Liberty on me Like this is like the fully evolved
pokemon of the tea party and even your own party.
Don't understand what the hell you doing? That's weird, bro, No,
we're normal. We're the ones that are Like, dude, you're
(39:55):
free to do. You have freedoms, you're in the Yeah, Like,
of course, what do I care gay people get married?
Like you should be able to get married. That's stupid. Like, dude,
if you you want to have surgery on your body
because you believe inside of you that you're like, of
course you should have the right to do that. I
don't have to understand it, nigga, Like what you're now, girl? Dope? Okay, cool,
(40:18):
I'm happy you're happy. Hey and Homie go to therapy
dog Tim Walls one of the stories that again narrative,
the narrative that he's painting is this is masculinity. This
is a masculinity that y'all. Here's what's crazy that had
the Republicans would have kept their head about them, they
could have owned this type of masculinity. This is the
(40:39):
type of masculinity that is in Yellowstone. Like, I'm a
real ass dude. I like I look, I'm a real dude.
I love the outside. I believe in what I believe in.
I'm gonna protect then. I'm gonna protect nature. Not because
I'm some sort of big city liberal, No, nigga, I
live out here. I'm gonna try to protect the coyotes
(41:00):
because I understand the coyotes keep the cows and they
and if they ain't, no, if it's too many cowaries
and the cows are going, they just gonna die, and
then the grass go. If the grass dies, big dog,
I can't feed the like I get ecosystems. I hunt.
I ain't finish shoot every turkey fam because then they're
all gonna be gone. You don't think I know that.
So it's not something like you can't pay me as
(41:22):
some sort of like Boston liberal tree hugger. I'm like, well, yeah,
niggadd like trees. I go hunting, I go camping. I
like being a dad. We couldn't do it. I got
some like you know, infertility treatments. We had a baby girl.
Hey listen, my son neuro divergent, he nonverbal, and you
know what, he really loves me, and he was so
(41:43):
overwhelmed that he couldn't hold back his tears because he
love his daddy. That's beautiful. I'll beat your ass if
you think any different, that's beautiful. You don't want your
son to express emotions towards you, What is wrong with you?
My son loves me. I love him. And if he
(42:04):
gonna cry, hell yeah cry? What like? Men of emotions?
What are you talking about again? They're just trying to
present this the manhood they're trying to present. Okay, call
me soft, I'll coach football. I'll truck through the let's okay,
let's get on the line. Then I'm an O line coach. Brot,
(42:26):
let's go again. This is not a recording as the
defense for Tim Wallas. I'm just trying to tell you
the narrative because it's still weird that they haven't solved
this Palestinian thing, or at least won't just open their
mouth and talk about it. But anyway, No, I'm not
a veg she's a vegetarian. I'm not. I like, I
can fix cars and it the fact that I can
(42:47):
listen and let a woman lead doesn't mean my dick shrunk, Like,
what is wrong with you? That's all? It's okay, she's smart,
so let her do the job like you what you can't?
Just that's weird, bro, that your masculinity is so frail
that you think that I just can't. That's weird, homie.
(43:10):
And you know what if that's how your house works. Okay,
you say, how easy that was? Okay, it's fine. What
like I can listen to authority, I can, like I
and it don't. I can listen to experts. I can.
I don't get it bro like weird. Again, this is
(43:32):
their story, so it's just a narrative thing. So right now,
the question is which one of these freaky ass niggas
need to steady ass aside? Now with the debate happening
this week, I'm recording this Monday, so I don't know
what's gonna happen tomorrow on Tuesday, And I don't know
when you listen to this, But here's where this theory
(43:57):
is about to get played out. Now. This debate is
between the vice presidents, and both of them have a
lot to work with, as I've spoke on just now.
But the penultimate weird though, that is just the gift
that keeps on giving as far as I'm concerned, is
Mark Robertson. Y'all, I the man that calls himself the
(44:19):
black Nazi. Uh that Martin Luther King was a soy
boy b bringing pizzas into the dog Old Poor and
Shop because apparently the Internet don't exist. Uh, that nigga weird.
I just like this now now look this this ain't no.
(44:42):
That's that nigga weird, right if he running a play bruh,
you Tim Wallas, that's all you gotta do is be like,
what's up with your boy? My man Trump called him
better than Martin Luther King. This nigga weird having a
whole ass this like I don't know how else this
(45:04):
d he a cartoon that like, listen, if you got niggas,
say yo, look my homeboy. Darren Done, who is probably
one of the most talented videographers. I mean, run this
dude's catalog all the way back to like Penny Wise
up to a wall Nation. But he'll shoot the Zach
Brown shit like he'll shoot what He's one of the
(45:25):
most talented video He shot the endling he shot the
excellent video for me, Like he's one of the most
talented and smart men I've ever met. We don't agree
a lot of stuff politically, but I tell you what
don't matter that that's like my dog one of the
things that he said was this, He's like, if you're
in the front of the line, you are still somewhat
(45:47):
responsible for the weirdos in the back of the line
because that's your line. He's like, I am Yes, I
am a conservative. Right. He's very punk rock, like like
the just the textbook jen X punk rock. He's that
like right on brand, and he's like, dog, I am responsible.
(46:14):
Like the weirdo in the back of my line is
Mark Robinson, and I have to own that that's in
my line. That's he's like, he's a he's a Christian,
and he's like, I have to acknowledge because I am
a Christian. Them niggas are weird. They in my line
(46:37):
and they weird. I have to acknowledge it. The problem
he right. The thing with Mark to me is like
you gotta see the entire diaspora of black people saying, Okay,
I think I said this before, like this saying I'm
(46:59):
not black. OJ, my nigga, you think they love you? You
really think this a play you could play? Did you
think you could pull off all of your debauchery, my nigga?
Because Trump ain't no better. You're still a nigga, don't
you understand that, fam because all of a sudden, these
(47:20):
white people are gonna have morals. All of a sudden,
you you are a bridge too far. Trump can get
away with it. Why because that's a white man. These
people are racist. I don't understand what you don't understand.
They not gonna stand for no foolishness from no black people.
(47:41):
Because if you black is weird? Bruh weird? Tim mister Walls,
(48:08):
if these walls could talk, you're my wonder walls. Nigga
bring that up? Just be like, what's up with your
man's in them? They're gonna argue about their service in military.
(48:30):
They're gonna try to paint themselves as one of us
is the most regular, and they are. Again, they all
got a lot to work with, you know, but hey,
fools be weird. It's really all that these campaigns are
trying to give y'all who normal, who weird? Because that
(48:50):
narrative tends to work. We'll see love politics all right. Now,
don't you hit stop on this pod. You better listen
(49:11):

to you. If you understand urban living, you understand politics.
These people is not smarter than you. We'll see y'all
next week.
Media. You know, it's a fascinating thing to watch how
slang in words evolve specifically around insults, which is what
this episode is about, specifically the strategy of insults. I
think I said in one of the little breakdowns about
(00:23):
the DNC in one of the video ones, hopefully you're
following us on social media, on the Politics pod and
on my TikTok, which is just prop hip hop because
I'm trying to grow my own name too. But when
you're gonna roast somebody, when you're gonna call him something
like if you gonna drag somebody like that, it's gotta
be kind of true, Like there has to be even
if it's not factual, it's got to feel like it
(00:46):
might be true. That's why the jd Vance and couch
thing works because you can't prove that he actually had
sexual intercourse with a couch. But looking at this dude
and knowing that you know dudes like him, I could
see that be it true, like douchebag frat boy, you know,
out partying, got drunk, like I could. I could picture
(01:07):
Brett Kavanaugh doing it like just that type dude. So
you don't know if it's true, but you could see that,
like that's why that roast will work. And then I
gave an example which I still feel strongly about about
Kamala Harris, where it's like, if you're gonna roast her,
it's gotta seem true. May you can't verify it, but
it's gotta seem true, Like she don't date black men. Well,
(01:27):
she's married, so there's that, but you got but has
she ever dated a black man? She don't find black
men attractive. You don't know that, but I could see that.
I could see how that might be, like her vibe
little light skin and bougie. But that's just it's not true.
But like it's gotta seem like it's true for it
to stick anyway. The evolution of a roasting to somebody
(01:50):
as a strategy, and the terms we used to use.
I remember, like in more Gas Busters, like you know,
early nineties, you a MOREK sucker MC, which is something
I called my daughter all the time, my little daughter,
like a little sucker em C. Like it's at this
point it's funny to call some call somebody a sucker EMC,
a sucker MC if you don't know, but yeah, you know,
(02:10):
obviously there there are lines you can't cross. You know,
we was kids talking about somebody mama. Unless it's like
we just cracking your mama jokes, that's different, but that's
not specifically your actual mama. But if it's like I'm
really talking about your actual mom, it's like, all right, nigga,
we finn fight. Obviously calling a man a bitch, whole
ass nigga, put sass nigga, like the like they do
(02:31):
down sotoud oh, put sass nigga. You start talking like that,
it means like yo, it's it's about to get serious
and Lanta like lame man nigga, like lame man. You
know what I'm saying. Like these are things. They're kind
of regional insults, you know, whole ass nigga. Like you
call somebody that, it's like, we're okay, that sucks, but
(02:52):
you're kind of kidding. Now with girls, you know, they
call it, they call a friends bitch out. But then
you could tell by the tone and if we friends,
what the you what you mean by that? The tone matters.
But at least in California, what has become probably the
worst thing you could call somebody. It's a weird old
(03:12):
hood politics y'all. So this episode is about strategy, tone
and storytelling. But before we get into that, what look
is like this? What look is like this? Bull look
(03:39):
is like this? What look is like this? Yeah? Yeah,
what look is like this? Uh it's like this. So yeah,
Uh some light news. I'm on the new Fashon record,
which is cool, a song called Tots for Tots. Been
moving with this crew called mid Nineties and yeah, you know,
(04:01):
I've been a long time fan of Fash and had
a chance to finally connect with him and make some music.
I've learned when it comes to my career, especially music
is just like yo, play a chill, play the long game,
don't force yourself into situations it'll it'll come to you.
It'll come to you. And I've been trying to connect
(04:23):
with Sean for a while, so I'm just glad it
finally worked out and it's a dope song and the
songs out now, so it's called Toys for TODs. It's
on Fast Shawn's new record called You Owe Us with Interest.
I also this year came out on a track with
Blue of Evidence songs called Hell Damn Anyway. Uh, So
(04:45):
that's good news, funny news, Costco said, keep my name
out your mouth. We ain't got nothing to do with
this diddy thing. We ain't sell. We don't even sell
baby oil like that. Don't speak on my name. Do
not bring me into your mess, black people. My name
is Wes and what I ain't in this mess. I
(05:10):
ain't in this mess. My name is Bennett and I
ain't in it. That's Costco say, I ain't in y'all
this nasty, freaky as. I'm not gonna need to stay
his ass inside. I ain't a part of that. And
(05:30):
not so fun news. Uh Israel has taken out the
leader of Hezbealad nosra La, and I mean he's been
there leader for like thirty two years, so like it
or love it, you know, he they dude, And it's
(05:51):
not like they don't have a succession plan because he's
been the leader for thirty two years. And again, let's
make this very clear. Hesbe lying boys, niggas don't like
y'all understand. You know, this is why we say this
gangbanging because it's like I hope you know, I hope
you don't think any of us is arguing in favor
(06:15):
of anybody except for the suffering people of Palestine and
Lebanon and folks being carpetbomb because within that airstrike of
him taking up Israel, taking out the leader, a thousand
other people have died. Now you would ask me, uh,
(06:35):
what about the deaths inside of Israel. Again, this is
why we call it gangbanging, because if your argument is
Israel ain't gonna be safe until all its enemies are destroyed,
all of its enemies can say the same thing, that's
why it's gangbanging. But I would say this if I
(07:01):
had a chance to sit down, because obviously will not obviously,
because the fact is Israel they want it with Iran.
That's what they wanted with They're trying to go head
up with Iran. For a long time they wasn't trying
to go head up with Ran, but it seemed like
Iran don't want to go head up with them. And
(07:21):
if I'm in, and so they iron essentially backs Kamas
has beloved who these like, all these people, And if
I were to speak to those groups, it's like all right, word,
you know, I mean, it's cool. You got somebody to
come on and you know, give you the tools, you know,
put that work in your hand, But I kind of
noticed that they don't ever be outside fighting with y'all.
(07:44):
It seemed to be like they okay with y'all dying
in the streets and having your pages blown up. Ain't
nobody taking the heat to Tehran in which Tehran's like
with Nigga, that's because we got nukes, Nigga. If you
at nukes, Jo, I'm saying like it'd be a different story.
Y'all go out there and fight. Won't need it before
(08:05):
we got nukes. But we can help y'all. That's y'all's problem.
I'm just I'm just saying, like, maybe your big homies
don't love you the way they say they do. It's
all I'm saying. Hurricane Helen just absolutely dogged walk North Cacilaca,
(08:29):
man Ashville just in ruins, shout out the homies in
Greenville at Bridge City Coffee. Man, I know they roasters down. Man.
I had the homies checked in and they told me
they all right, but they like, yeah, Man, I got
neighbors who's like tree just through their roofs and man,
So if you got folks out there, man, I'm hoping
(08:51):
and praying your folks is all right. This puts a
stall in an already dying business, which is my cold
brew coffee. But they're had some beans coming in from
Honduras that obviously that which are going to be roasted
in Greenville. But it seems like shipping is kind of
(09:14):
an issue right now, so we're gonna pause that a
little longer. Yeah, Oh, Vice presidential debate speaking of weirdos
is happening this week, so that makes this show rather relevant.
All right, here we go. It's like this, all right,
(09:41):
how how weirdo became like the worst thing you got
somebody out here is beyond me. How it happened, But
what it's communicating is and then I'm gonna give you
an example of this in action before I start talking
about political strategy. The the attitude about it is it's
dismissive in the sense that I almost don't have time
(10:04):
for the things that you are bringing up. What you're
worried about is so unimportant and just just strange. Why
do you care about this? What are you talking about?
Why did you acting like this? You weirdo? Like I
just like what's happening right now, very much of like
(10:25):
the office and Jim looking at the camera like what's
what's what are we? What is he talking about? You weirdo?
And when somebody like a weirdo, like I really don't
even have to fight. It's like how you know how
when you a giggle like miss shuts your whole ass
and walk like somebody being very serious ready to fight you,
and you're like miss shuts your whole ass and we
(10:47):
just laugh and walk away like somebody seriously trying to
boss up on you, but it's funny or you're just
like bro weirdo, like relaxed, kind of like ain't nobody
and the giggle and walk away. It's kind of communicating,
like bro, I beat the brakes off you, like I
listen walk like this you don't want this smoke? Like
(11:08):
this is not even worth it, Like just go sit
down somewhere, like what is your problem? I'm not even
gonna fight you over this or even defend myself or
even engage. You're weirdo, Like what is fool's problem? Like
who mans is this? Like hey, who know cauz? Like
why are you? What is he talking about? So it's
(11:29):
that attitude, even if this person is trying to bully you,
If this person is trying to press you you're weirdo,
Like I'm not weirdo? Like what did you you know?
Just what you are so concerned about doesn't matter. It's
so beneath us, and you are deeply unserious, Like I
(11:50):
just can't I can't even take you serious. So it's
not can't take you serious in the sense that you're
not dangerous or that like you're not capable of violence,
but just that like what you like this? Don't like
why I don't know none of us understand why this
is such a big deal to you, the way for
which you're approaching us about something that's really silly. It's
(12:13):
like I feel weird, like weird though, like what is
your problem that? That is the attitude and this is
why or one of the reasons why Kendrick won because
it wasn't so much I make more money than you.
I'm a better rapper than you, because he's clearly a
(12:33):
better rapper. I'm sorry, y'all, let's let's just be honest.
Do we make more hits? No, because he's even admitted
you're a hit maker. You make us dance, but you
want to get into some battle rap you can't rap
better than me, But that's not the point. The point
is freaky asked. Niggas need to stay they asses side. Hey,
like you know what I'm saying, Like you're weird though,
Like what do you know the a minor? Like I
(12:54):
heard you like I'm young, Like that's weird. It's weird
that you like minors. It's weird that you're a grown
man with children and you still partying like you're a
twenty year old. That's weird. So that's the argument he's making,
Like it's like, y'all you weird, bro, Like why you
ain't grow up? Are you following like you you otherise
(13:15):
in a way that is powerful because following my metaphor here,
what is supposed to be cool is the Hugh Hefner life,
the playboy, permanent bachelor, international player with a passport, always
got girls, always partying, endless summer, endless money. I'm in
(13:36):
every country, I'm in every party, I got every girl
I've I've smashed every prom queen in every city. I've
you know, slept with every beauty queen in every country.
And I'm still on a boat. I'm still on my yacht,
and i still gotta mansion. That's what's cool. I'm the
I got, I got drinks, were drinking, we partying, we smoking,
(13:58):
we got girls, we got money. That's supposed to be cool.
What Kendrick did was be like, Nigga, you're thirty eight
with two children. What are you serious? How have you
not grown out of this? It's supposed to be square
to go home and be all domesticated where you're just like, yeah,
this is like you know, Dad Bob dad life. And
that's why he was like, Yo, I'm sorry in Meet
(14:21):
the Grams, like I'm sorry, I live a quiet life.
Noes that Meet the Grams or yeah, I'm sorry, I
live a quiet life that I just I go home
and I raise my children and I love my one wife.
You're the weirdo because we're in our mid to late thirties. Nigga,
be a better man, and why do you have betaphiles on?
(14:42):
Like you're a weirdo. So it wasn't so much the
rap thing. I just got off the phone with the
homie Justin at It's all happening the you know, ambros
and for heads, brilliant, brilliant video YouTube channel like please
follow Justin. He's one of the smartest brains in hip hop.
I don't care what nobody say, but he was like
Drake could have done much better in his battle if
he was just a better person. Like if he was
(15:04):
a better person, then Kidrick probably wouldn't have much to say.
You're a weirdo. I'm telling you how to culture feels
from euphoria. Like I'm just I think you're I think
you hate women. I think you're jealous of them. When
I see you, pop, I see two bitches like you
are weird and you think you think this is cool,
(15:26):
but it's it's weird. You a grown man around teenagers, Nigga,
that's weird. So this is when you call this is
when you turn a group or a person into a weirdo.
Why it works? And this, my friend, is the battle
that the Republicans and the Democrats are engaged in which
(15:48):
one of y'all are weirdos, next weirdos weirdos. All right,
(16:26):
we're back now. I am talking storytelling and messaging. Okay,
I'm not talking policy, nor am I talking how I feel. Okay,
this is not my opinion. All Right, y'all know when
it's my opinion, I feel like it's pretty obvious because again,
I am not a journalist. I have no duties to
(16:50):
be fair and balanced. I will be because that's me
being a human, and because I don't owe any of
these politicians or people I talk I owe them anything.
This is all transactional. So I will tell you when
it's what I think, and especially when I think, like
there is a life and death situation here. You know,
(17:11):
I agree with Robert Evans. I'm like, I think the
repoking party needs to be burnt, burn to the ground,
and y'all need to start over, like you're in a
death grip right now, Like y'all need to start over
like this. We need to have conservatives in the world
like it helps. It helps having that push and pull.
I agree. I don't agree with always what you think about.
(17:33):
I think you offer a perspective that can help. But dog,
whatever the hell y'all are now, ain't that anyway? That's
my opinion. This is an understanding of narrative and strategy. Okay,
So I might say some in this video or in
this video, in this podcast, some very outlandish takes that
(17:55):
again one more time, I don't believe. I am just saying,
this is the story that's being communicated. Now, let's do
this weirdos. The story that the Republicans have been able
(18:29):
to say about the left is they've been able to
say the left are weirdos and weird normal they want
weird stuff, like we're just we can't even be normal. Now,
how did they tell this story? What they told the
story first starting in the nineties around the concept of abortion.
(18:51):
They're just like, nigga, that's a baby. I don't understand
why you're trying to convince me that an unborn child
is not a child. What is y'all talking about? What
is it? You're weird? We're not like you are you
you're gonna convince me this is not killing? It isn't
that the goal? Like you're gonna use terms like terminate
(19:13):
rather than kill, as if I don't know that that's
the same thing. Again, this is their story. What I
believe y'all don't be clipping this thing and putting it
in no, but this is their story. Like, look, this
is absurd, Like that's not how you finna tell me
that two humans just created a human and that human
(19:34):
before would get out the wound ain't a human? What
is you talking about? You're weird? That was the argument
that was what that was that, But that goes back
way back to the nineties, to the eighties and the
nineties when they started trying to overturn Roe v. Wade,
like y'all you guys, like, have y'all lost y'all mind?
And then the next thing, the next evolution of that
was the LGBTQ, right. Their argument was, why are you
(20:00):
trying to convince me this is natural? Well, I mean,
y'all can't even make humans? Like what do you? I
don't understand what y'all are talking about? Of course you
should be able to live, but that's not that's not marriage,
Like what do you? I don't understand what you're saying,
Like you could have something else? I mean, you weird
for making me want to believe? What are you talking about?
(20:20):
Like that? Doesn't y'all are like this? What? Why? Like
I don't understand? Like this is you can't like Dick
Vagina like you can't tell them too, I don't get it.
Why is how are we the weird ones? Like that
was their arguments, like how are we the weird ones?
When this is how the species? Like I mean, what
(20:41):
what living creature? Isn't the whole earthwork like this nigga,
the trees are this, the trees are male and feet
like it's seed and ovary like cut open an orange, nigga,
that's ovary, Like, I don't I just what do you?
I don't get it? Dick Vagina like what do you what?
You're weird for trying to tell me that them two
(21:03):
don't naturally go together? Like you, I mean, just look
at it, one to stick the other as a whole.
I don't know, it's what? Right? Was their argument? Again?
So they're like, bro, like, if things don't have a definition,
then they don't mean anything. So once you start stretching
the definition of stuff, stuff stops meaning things. This argument
continues to evolve into trans rites, into pronouns into when
(21:30):
we started talking about therapy and toxic masculinity and you know,
the nuclear family, They're just like, I don't understand what
the fuck's a thrupple? Like what are y'all talking about?
I don't like. And they got to be for a
long time the outsiders, because they weren't up. They got
to be except for when the few times that you know,
(21:50):
Reagan and Bush was doing their thing. But as cultures
started shifting, people got tired of they rhetoric, and they
just started feeling like are The story they were telling
was like, we feel like we're the only sober people
in a room full of drunk folk. And I don't
know if you've ever been the designated driver during a
room full of drunk folk, how you realize how ridiculous
(22:13):
everybody looks when they drunk. You're not jealous of that,
seems like they have a more fun to you. You
looking at them like they look ridiculous? Am I the
only one? I'm the only look I'm the normal one, y'all. All,
y'all not gonna convince me. While you guys are taking
turns jumping into this fountain outside, you're doing that because
you're drunk, Like I'm the only one. I don't understand,
(22:35):
like okay, getting the car. That was the story they're
trying to tell. They're like, dude, America's like, go home, America,
you're drunk. Like what are y'all doing? I don't like
what is happening right now? How are you finna tell
me that a dude marrying a girl and having children
is we like, what's wrong with that? Then we started
(22:55):
talking about things like masculinity and toxic masculinity. And they
kept being like, dude, you're telling me that just a
dude being a dude is toxic. So I can't like fishing,
I can't like fighting. I don't understand trucks are trucks
are cool, Fighting's cool. I like, I'm just a dude,
Like I'm It's not so much that I hate females.
(23:18):
I'm just not one. Y'all act like I'm going home
and beating my wife and being like feed me, Like, no,
I'm just I'm just a dude, and nobody else gotta
apologize for just being themselves. It's like it seemed like
the only way for me to not to be a
non toxic man is to just be a girl. That's
(23:39):
crazy to me, is their argument, and their argument again.
By my lord, don't get me started about canceling culture.
Y'all mad at mister potato head, Well, like, what is
the m and ms? We gotta stop you canceling it.
You can sling, miss potato head. You make a doctor,
doctor seuss. What is wrong with y'all? Like, Oh my god,
(24:01):
it's just a It's a toy. It's a toy, guys,
It's a toy. You're weird, was their argument. Again, was
their argument, not my argument. I don't understand why this
is so bad. Y'all are weird? Was their argument. Again,
It's not what I think. This is the story they
were telling and have been for years. Why the Trump
(24:24):
thing worked is because of a lot of reasons, but
one was we just want to return to normal. It's
not that we hate anybody. Again, this is the story.
It's just y'all are weird. Then you add the trance
thing and the pronouns, and their story was, what the
fuck is wrong with you? That is a man and
(24:45):
you want me to not call him he? But it's
clearly that you talk about the bathrooms and the gender
neutral stuff, and they're losing their mind, like, how are
y'all y'all are weird? This is listen, that's weird. I'm
just saying that's weird. It's weird that you want me
to call a man a woman. It's weird that this
(25:07):
woman wants to go into the male bathrooms. It's weird
that tampons are in the boy's bathroom. That's their argument,
that's just weird. Boys don't menstruate. I don't understand. Then
they threw their hands up, like, well, shit, what's a woman?
Can you tell me what a woman is? These weirdos
can't answer the question what is it? This is the
easiest question. Was their argument, you're weird. You're like, what
(25:31):
do you mean you feel like you're a girl? Son,
you're a boy? Okay, if you feel like you're a girl,
you're confused. Again, this is not the way I feel.
This is their narrative. All of that is weird, and
they tied that into the narrative of what they would
(25:51):
call wokeness, where it was like, so I can't talk
about the founding of the country, I can't talk about
seventeen seventy six. I have to talk about slavery. Yes,
slavery suck. But then we end that why the hell
is you still talking about like nigga, you free? Like
I don't know, Like what are we you have in
a nice house, Like what are you talking about? Y'all
(26:13):
are weird? We'd normal, you're weird while we got movies
like Lady Bolers. It's because their argument is y'all are weird,
Like I don't understand why this is so hard for you.
A dude is a dude and a girl is a girl,
and even if you chop up yo junk, you're still
(26:35):
what you are like. And that's okay. Why is it
you want me to ignore the obvious? Again, this is
their story, not mine. I just don't understand why this
is so difficult for y'all. And that and the fact
that you're making me to beat the neanderthal is even
more weird. This is their argument. This is again Kendrick saying,
(26:57):
you telling me stay at home and taking care of
my children is weird. No, nigga, you're the weirdo that
you're that old and Kate go home and raise your children.
That you still out here partying like you twenty two,
that's weird. So then you fast forward to the streak
that the Democrats had for presidents, right, and obviously you
(27:18):
know the white lash of Trump is where it ends. Right.
I think all of this is just whether it's the
tea party or any of it, is just a response
of a black man making into the office. These people
just couldn't broke their brains. But that's again, that's my opinion.
But take Chance the rapper, follow me, guys. What we
loved about Chance is that he became famous off of mixtape.
(27:41):
It is just a mixtape. He was an outsider, no label,
just good music and a great following and a hard work,
and he became a star. An outsider. I am not
the industry. I am I'm the champion of the independence,
the underdog. But when the underdog starts winning, they cease
(28:02):
to be the underdog. You cease to be the outsider
once you sign a label deal, once your campaign works,
you are now the industry. So you can't keep calling
yourself the underdog. You can't keep calling yourself the indie
hero because now you're on well, now you're a star.
Now you're playing arenas. You become the system, so you
can't do the them thing because you are now them.
(28:25):
What the Republicans were able to do during the Clinton
years the Obama years is be like, we're the outsiders
because look where culture is going, and we're the ones
trying to keep everybody grounded, like we're the ones trying
to remind you that water is wet and gravity works.
That that was their argument, and y'all are floating in space.
(28:47):
But then the tables turn. The outsider became the mainstream,
and when the like we're normal, they're weird switches to
and now we're in charge, and now we're bully and
anything that does not fit inside of our tent is
not only weird, needs to be destroyed. And this is
(29:08):
where the Republicans went wrong, in my opinion, I'll tell
you what I mean next. I we're back again. I'm
(29:39):
just talking strategy and storytelling. What happened in the storytelling
is them saying they're normal, we're normal, they're weird, and
the causes they were attached themselves to started to attract
real weirdos. These are the extremists of the world. And
(30:00):
in that it pulled in deeply racist people who moved
from I just don't understand this whole trans thing and
this whole abortion thing to yeah, and they need to
die and trans need to not exist. So it pushed
it too far. You became bullies, and rather than being
(30:23):
like I don't understanding trans thing, but like whatever, like
everybody's welcome, you were more like they shouldn't have rights.
They shouldn't be able to drink in our fountains, and
parents shouldn't be able to So you started they started
becoming an overlord. You got dudes saying, if you vote
for a woman, you're not a man, Like what you
(30:43):
got Dudes like Matt Walsh arguing that the Little Mermaid
couldn't possibly be black because she lives at the bottom
of the ocean. Nigga, that's a maid up character, it's
a mermaid. What is you talking about with the masculinity thing?
Now that they up, rather than taking the responsibility of saying, yeah,
you know, in our worldview, we believe that men should
be protectors and providers. Maybe we need to think about
(31:06):
the ways for which we have interacted with females and
maybe maybe they do have a point. Maybe we should listen.
And they were like, no, shine this halogen light on
my balls when when me too movements started hitting, rather
than being like damn homie, yeah, Like yo, that's not
pimp man, Like why you know you shouldn't be you
shouldn't be treating girls. It's like, why are you so
(31:28):
hard on men? That's just a man trying to get laid. Listen,
men are alphas and it's a sigma beta boy, a
soy boy that isn't trying to slay every woman he wants, Like, bro,
what like that? They just rather they doubled down on
it and it just it got so oppressive in the
(31:49):
rules and the avatar of the Trump to where you
had to twist yourself into a pretzel. You were the
law and order people, and you about to elect a felon,
a man doing all the stuff, all the family values
that you said you wanted to hold on to is
a man that don't hold none of them value. To
the point to where about the abortion thing to points
(32:10):
awear rather than being like, yo, we know, we just
believe in the sanctity of life. You like, I don't
care if your mama dying. I don't care if your
pregnancy is sepsist. I don't care if you raped. I
don't care if it's more Lesstation Nigga had that baby.
Like Yo, you get the News Max, you get the
fake news, you get this whole world, this conspiracy world.
You get the QAnon where you went from being the
(32:33):
normal ones to now y'all are weirdos, which is the
narrative the Democrats are giving now. So now the story
coming out of the DNC and moving into this campaign
that we're about to experience again, I'm just talking strategy
and narrative. Everything with the Republicans is doom and gloom,
(32:55):
like you want to shut the border. So the problem
of the world is immigrants. Y'all. Don't read like what
are y'all talking about? Your leader is crazy and no
matter what this man does, you just gonna follow him.
That's weird. You've abandoned all of your morals so that
you could keep this guy. This guy, if you look
(33:16):
at us, we looked at our the head of our leader.
It was like the head of our party and was like, bruh,
it's time for you to sit down. You're gonna cost
us this election. You know what that is? That's normal.
If you see a guy who's slipping and is a liability,
you approach him and you ask him to sit down
for the greater good. You don't keep that man in power.
(33:38):
You don't bend to his will. No, you you communicate
to him that like sir, you've done your part, but like, bro,
you gotta go. We're not gonna follow you into the abyss.
You know what. I'm like, I'm not gonna follow you
to the gates of hell. To follow one man into
the gates of hell is weird. The Democrats finally figured
(33:58):
out how to talk about and how to talk about
the GOP and how they talking about them is the
way that they were talked about, which is weird. Normal
y'all are weird. It's how Kendrick talked about Drake where
it's like, bro, that's not dope. Like all this stuff
you think is cool is not cool. That's it's weird. Man, Like,
(34:21):
why is you making Why is the Halkster there? He
brought out the hawkster? Bruh, it's weird? What okay, that's
your stars hulk Hogan like in character? What yo? That's
(34:44):
not weird to y'all, y'all really let them my pillow
guy talk to my pillow dude? That shr is this
your king? Y'all don't y'all don't see that that's weird.
So rather than pearl clutch and being like, oh, we
can make better jokes, you do the Kendrick row where
you just like brod freaky ass y'all need to stay
(35:08):
ass inside weirdos. What are y'all talking? What's this fool
talking about? Because it's like, I don't have to say
this racism weird. I just don't understand how you could
like dislike an entire group of people, especially when you
ain't never met none of them. Anti Semitism is weird,
like what you believe. At the same time, these people
(35:32):
are vermin and control all levers of power. They're subhuman
and in charge of all the money and entertainment, like
what we believe in World War two in America being
the greatest generation we ever had in the defeat than
the defeating of Hitler. And he might have been right
about the Jews. That's what it's weird. It's weird to
(35:57):
think that immigrants are the totality of our problem. That's
what it's also weird to just like nigga gay people.
It is gay, there's gay people. I don't like. What
is your problem, dude? Like, why do you care? Hey? Listen?
Why you care about what's in the bathroom In Minnesota?
If a person listen, what the law say is if
(36:19):
you men straight, we got pass for you. Why you care? Man?
It's dudes on TikTok painting they nails, and it's dudes
in the comments absolutely outraged that man is a stranger.
Why you care so much? What? What do you care? Bro?
What happened to the masculinity that says I take care
(36:41):
of my home and my own business. I ain't got
nothing to do with me. What a man does in
his own house is up to him. I don't care. Listen,
you want me to call you her, you want me
to call you they all right? Because I don't give
a like okay, Like it's a matter of respect again.
If we believe in dignity, honor, and respect, even if
(37:05):
it don't make sense to me, it don't matter. I'm
respecting you. I don't have to lord over yo. That's weird, bro,
Like why you feel like you gotta control all that?
Fam Relax? And for the life of me, I don't
understand how in the world you don't see that man
as a con artist. And this is not in any
(37:25):
way a defense of any of our leaders. We just
saying weird those At first, what the Republic or what
the Democrats tried to do was dismiss the whole Maga
movement just like, ah, stupid, it could never win. And
then they mess around and win. It's just like when
you got a bully that you don't take serious, you
just giggle on that bully fire on you, you learn
how to take them serious. And that's what happened. The
(37:46):
Democrats got their ass kicked and then they was like,
oh wait a minute, you can't stick to his level.
You can't. You're not as funny as not as funny
as Trump, Like that's the reality. The man is funny,
and the man will say what he needed to say
talking about the crowd size is ai my nigga? Like
what phrases like black jobs. I know he didn't mean
(38:08):
it to be funny, but that is funny. How do
you weaponize that? How do you turn all of this
stuff around? That's why he's good at That's why his
nicknames work is because again, like I said before, that's
how he wrote somebody where it's like it's kinda true.
That's what makes it funny. Little Marko like he's short,
sleepy Joe. He just that's how he seemed crooked Hillary,
like all of us know this about the Clintons. Nobody
(38:30):
trust the Clintons. That's why it worked. Don't nobody trust
the Clintons and don't nobody and nobody had any confidence
in Joe Biden Like that's that's why it worked. But
fam why you gotta be weird about everything? Is now
the narrative Kamala like the Democrats are like, yo, you
just gonna you just gonna not help the homies in Ukraine,
(38:50):
Like what is you? He's gonna kick out everybody, like
you're gonna act like trans people don't exist, or you're
just gonna he's gonna ban books, like what do you?
That's weird, fam Like y'all. It feels like y'all trying
to go backwards and they are that's their brand. We
want to return, make America great again. We're trying to
return this stuff. Like, Yo, it's weird to be against progress,
(39:12):
Like what sort of nostalgia are you stuck into? And
it's like, oh, I get it. You stuck in a
world where and this is what they're not saying, but saying,
you just want a world where white people were supreme
and never had to think about anything else. That's the
world you want, where the whole system worked to just
for you. That's weird, gee, because it's the opposite of
(39:32):
all we learned about what America was. I thought America
was a tapestry. You ain't never you didn't do an
Ellis Island project, you ain't been to the Statue of
Liberty on me Like this is like the fully evolved
pokemon of the tea party and even your own party.
Don't understand what the hell you doing? That's weird, bro, No,
we're normal. We're the ones that are Like, dude, you're
(39:55):
free to do. You have freedoms, you're in the Yeah, Like,
of course, what do I care gay people get married?
Like you should be able to get married. That's stupid. Like, dude,
if you you want to have surgery on your body
because you believe inside of you that you're like, of
course you should have the right to do that. I
don't have to understand it, nigga, Like what you're now, girl? Dope? Okay, cool,
(40:18):
I'm happy you're happy. Hey and Homie go to therapy
dog Tim Walls one of the stories that again narrative,
the narrative that he's painting is this is masculinity. This
is a masculinity that y'all. Here's what's crazy that had
the Republicans would have kept their head about them, they
could have owned this type of masculinity. This is the
(40:39):
type of masculinity that is in Yellowstone. Like, I'm a
real ass dude. I like I look, I'm a real dude.
I love the outside. I believe in what I believe in.
I'm gonna protect then. I'm gonna protect nature. Not because
I'm some sort of big city liberal, No, nigga, I
live out here. I'm gonna try to protect the coyotes
(41:00):
because I understand the coyotes keep the cows and they
and if they ain't, no, if it's too many cowaries
and the cows are going, they just gonna die, and
then the grass go. If the grass dies, big dog,
I can't feed the like I get ecosystems. I hunt.
I ain't finish shoot every turkey fam because then they're
all gonna be gone. You don't think I know that.
So it's not something like you can't pay me as
(41:22):
some sort of like Boston liberal tree hugger. I'm like, well, yeah,
niggadd like trees. I go hunting, I go camping. I
like being a dad. We couldn't do it. I got
some like you know, infertility treatments. We had a baby girl.
Hey listen, my son neuro divergent, he nonverbal, and you
know what, he really loves me, and he was so
(41:43):
overwhelmed that he couldn't hold back his tears because he
love his daddy. That's beautiful. I'll beat your ass if
you think any different, that's beautiful. You don't want your
son to express emotions towards you, What is wrong with you?
My son loves me. I love him. And if he
(42:04):
gonna cry, hell yeah cry? What like? Men of emotions?
What are you talking about again? They're just trying to
present this the manhood they're trying to present. Okay, call
me soft, I'll coach football. I'll truck through the let's okay,
let's get on the line. Then I'm an O line coach. Brot,
(42:26):
let's go again. This is not a recording as the
defense for Tim Wallas. I'm just trying to tell you
the narrative because it's still weird that they haven't solved
this Palestinian thing, or at least won't just open their
mouth and talk about it. But anyway, No, I'm not
a veg she's a vegetarian. I'm not. I like, I
can fix cars and it the fact that I can
(42:47):
listen and let a woman lead doesn't mean my dick shrunk, Like,
what is wrong with you? That's all? It's okay, she's smart,
so let her do the job like you what you can't?
Just that's weird, bro, that your masculinity is so frail
that you think that I just can't. That's weird, homie.
(43:10):
And you know what if that's how your house works. Okay,
you say, how easy that was? Okay, it's fine. What
like I can listen to authority, I can, like I
and it don't. I can listen to experts. I can.
I don't get it bro like weird. Again, this is
(43:32):
their story, so it's just a narrative thing. So right now,
the question is which one of these freaky ass niggas
need to steady ass aside? Now with the debate happening
this week, I'm recording this Monday, so I don't know
what's gonna happen tomorrow on Tuesday, And I don't know
when you listen to this, But here's where this theory
(43:57):
is about to get played out. Now. This debate is
between the vice presidents, and both of them have a
lot to work with, as I've spoke on just now.
But the penultimate weird though, that is just the gift
that keeps on giving as far as I'm concerned, is
Mark Robertson. Y'all, I the man that calls himself the
(44:19):
black Nazi. Uh that Martin Luther King was a soy
boy b bringing pizzas into the dog Old Poor and
Shop because apparently the Internet don't exist. Uh, that nigga weird.
I just like this now now look this this ain't no.
(44:42):
That's that nigga weird, right if he running a play bruh,
you Tim Wallas, that's all you gotta do is be like,
what's up with your boy? My man Trump called him
better than Martin Luther King. This nigga weird having a
whole ass this like I don't know how else this
(45:04):
d he a cartoon that like, listen, if you got niggas,
say yo, look my homeboy. Darren Done, who is probably
one of the most talented videographers. I mean, run this
dude's catalog all the way back to like Penny Wise
up to a wall Nation. But he'll shoot the Zach
Brown shit like he'll shoot what He's one of the
(45:25):
most talented video He shot the endling he shot the
excellent video for me, Like he's one of the most
talented and smart men I've ever met. We don't agree
a lot of stuff politically, but I tell you what
don't matter that that's like my dog one of the
things that he said was this, He's like, if you're
in the front of the line, you are still somewhat
(45:47):
responsible for the weirdos in the back of the line
because that's your line. He's like, I am Yes, I
am a conservative. Right. He's very punk rock, like like
the just the textbook jen X punk rock. He's that
like right on brand, and he's like, dog, I am responsible.
(46:14):
Like the weirdo in the back of my line is
Mark Robinson, and I have to own that that's in
my line. That's he's like, he's a he's a Christian,
and he's like, I have to acknowledge because I am
a Christian. Them niggas are weird. They in my line
(46:37):
and they weird. I have to acknowledge it. The problem
he right. The thing with Mark to me is like
you gotta see the entire diaspora of black people saying, Okay,
I think I said this before, like this saying I'm
(46:59):
not black. OJ, my nigga, you think they love you? You
really think this a play you could play? Did you
think you could pull off all of your debauchery, my nigga?
Because Trump ain't no better. You're still a nigga, don't
you understand that, fam because all of a sudden, these
(47:20):
white people are gonna have morals. All of a sudden,
you you are a bridge too far. Trump can get
away with it. Why because that's a white man. These
people are racist. I don't understand what you don't understand.
They not gonna stand for no foolishness from no black people.
(47:41):
Because if you black is weird? Bruh weird? Tim mister Walls,
(48:08):
if these walls could talk, you're my wonder walls. Nigga
bring that up? Just be like, what's up with your
man's in them? They're gonna argue about their service in military.
(48:30):
They're gonna try to paint themselves as one of us
is the most regular, and they are. Again, they all
got a lot to work with, you know, but hey,
fools be weird. It's really all that these campaigns are
trying to give y'all who normal, who weird? Because that
(48:50):
narrative tends to work. We'll see love politics all right. Now,
