We're going to do all the fun things.
Do you know what that means? Clock it.
No, that doesn't mean clock it. That's not where that comes
from. It's from the ballroom scene.
It's a tiny applause that was popularized by Leyomi in that in
in in that Jay set competition. So that does not mean clock is
stopped doing that, because that is.
It's. There was an applause to my
culture. Yeah, it's a tiny applause.
It's. It's our culture.
Oh, oh, did you turn gay?
I've been gay, man. OK, we'll get.
Into that. My whole life.
No, I no, I mean, did you turn homosexual?
I'm homosexual for money. I'm just playing.

I'm. Just playing.
So I mean, $20 and $20.00, right?
But we are going to start out this episode, ladies, on every
episode. And it's not with you.
Laurente, how has your previous week been?
This previous week's been pretty cool for me.
Valentine's Day was what, Saturday?
So you just prepping for that? I'm back in the restaurant
industry, so I'm back in the restaurants and stuff like that.
It's pretty big busy. So I was just, you know, make
sure we staffed up, making sure we got the people in the right
places and. Stuff.
So you're like the head honcho? I wouldn't say head honcho.
I wouldn't say head honcho, but yeah, right, right, right,
right, right. OK, OK, So what you do for
Valentine's? Day well me and my lady we
really what I like about her she.
Which lady is this? Man, you know, got got me a we
should have had a conversation before the pod.
That's that's my fault. I meant to call y'all, but no,
no, no. Yeah, lady.
Yeah. So so we we we're good, but we
we went out he. Didn't answer my question.
It's. My, it's my lady.
It's my lady. What do you mean?
Is this a different lady from the lady that you had on when
you were last signed? I had a lady on here.
Oh, OK. Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure,
for sure. This is definitely a totally
different. OK, you.
See a few years. Ago No, no, she's she's our age.
She's she's, she's our age. OK.
So it's not that.
Yeah, no, no, yeah, not that I want to say it's many moons ago.
Many, many, many, many, many moons ago.
OK, so. So.
I mean you can stick around for the Patreon if you want to, but
I would like to know more about this mystery lady.
Yeah, maybe we. Maybe we'll talk more about this
lady on the Patreon. Oh, we definitely.
We definitely will. If you want to stay, I mean, I
know that it's 912 in Atlanta, so we'll.
Talk tomorrow, we all right? Ring me, man.
I'm in the restaurant. I'm working, he's working, I'm
working. But I I'm here, I'm here, I'm
here, I'm here. Y'all got my, I got my time.
OK, OK, so we'll ask more about later, but what did you do for
Valentine's Day? Like I said, we went out on this
little arcade. I heard slingshot so I took her
to that the. Same place you went to your
birthday for your birthday, no? No, no, no, because I think a
birthday. Where do we go?
I forget but no, this is this is a.
Different the place by where Lauren stayed.
Oh, that's Sandbox. That was Sandbox.
No, Yeah, yeah, no, it was AVR Spot.
That was dope. But no, we didn't.
We didn't do that one this time around.
OK so y'all went to slingshots and then you went to Did you go
anywhere after or was it? No, no, no, that that that was
pretty much it because I worked, I worked Friday through today.
So I just, we did something earlier, if that makes sense,
just because the schedules be weird like that, you know what I
mean? So we celebrate a little
earlier. So we went there, got some food.
I said we we really got to you do stuff.
We do stuff, but everything doesn't have to be for
Instagram. Like, oh, we gotta buy a $500
dinner date and we gotta go hop in the helicopter right around
downtown that do all that shit. I mean, of course, of course you
don't. But like, people want to like,
like everybody on Instagram nowadays wants to brand
themselves instead of just showing, telling people a love
date or whatever. So are you, you can, you know,
give us updates on the part you're seeing or the restaurant
you're going to and you won't mean.
Anything. I mean, I thought this was black
geek energy. Come on, man.
It's been three years and I'm still saying this ain't that
podcast. We, we here for the geek shit.
We're not here for the, you know.
For four years we've been doing that what we did last week and
then we haven't caught up with you in a while.
We want to know how's it going in your in your world.
Oh, I'm sorry. I apologize.
It has it has been a minute. No, it's it's everything is
everything. You know, everything is pretty
good. My oldest, she's she's doing a
damn thing. That's, I think that's the most
consuming part of everything. Like, you know, the career is on
autopilot for the most part. I'm on autopilot right now
because she's a graduating in May and we're just gearing up
for that. Yeah, yeah.
Shout outs to her. Shout outs to her.
Did she figure out a college to go to?
I know that last time you were up in the air.
Yeah, for sure. So we still, we're still
narrowing it down. And by the time, well, now this
drops soon. So we'll, we'll reveal later
because she is, you know, she'll be 16 when she graduates.
So we're going to keep her. Yeah, yeah, we're going to keep
her in the metro Atlanta area. So maybe somewhere, somewhere.
So she got accepted into two out of her top three and like right,
right, right. And six out of her top 10.
So she she got the options she has now we're doing Hey, hey,
got to got to, but the the other part.
And once again I'll go into detail on Patreon because y'all
my *** So I'll go to detail on Patreon.
But where we're at with it is and I'm I'm on her ass because
like I've always been like the cool chill dad, like I want you
to come to me. I like I never wanted to build
walls up. So you feel like, Oh, I can't
talk to him because he's on approach with no, I want you to
talk to me. I want to have I want to have a
certain kind of relationship. And so where we're at now, like
I said, so she's she's about to graduate, so she's in her head.
She thinking I'm grown and I'm like, no, you're not Joe.
You're 16. Get the fuck out of my face.
Like that's what I'm saying. Is that a point where I can't be
cute? But now I got to be like that,
that Joe Jackson. Get it again.
Right, not Joe Jackson. When I tell y'all I've I've I've
probably, you know, have physically, you know,
disciplined her. She's 16, probably twice her
whole life. I didn't had to do shit three
times the past two weeks just also, and I got to say we'll go
into detail on the Patreon, but just on some give me your phone,
give me this snap like this girl.
What we not about to do, what we not about to do, what we not
about to do is that like it's, it's rough.
Difficult as a single father raising a young teenager.
Yeah, she's she's like I said, she's a great kid.
Like so that's why I never let what we're doing because
whatever we're going through right now, it's going to be over
with desperately. This isn't where we're going to
stay. We you know every relationship
has its you. Know.
Moments and that's what I told them like I'm not going to let
this these moments define who you are.
You know, you're you're you're you're growing, you're learning
and stuff like that. So yeah, you're growing through
it. But I'm not going we're not
going to stay stuck right here. Like I refuse to.
I like to laugh, I like to joke. Y'all know me.
So like, yeah, I'm going to be serious as hell right now.
But so I told her, these next two years, it's up to you how
you want them to be like. It's that's up to you how you
want to discuss two years. Yeah.
So like, was she a junior there, isn't it?
Yeah or no? No, so she, she has a senior
graduating in May. So when she graduates, and
that's what I that's that's the thing.
So I was going to let her get like a a dorm room and be like,
OK, you spent four days on campus and then three days at
home, you know what I mean? But now, yeah, you're not
getting a dorm room. You're not getting a fucking
dorm room like so. You're.
Kind of transferring a single way to college experience.
I mean, it is, but guess what? She's only 16, so yeah.
She's only 16. Yeah, never.
Mind, that's that's what I'm saying.
That's why it's such a unique like we're in a really and I'm,
I'm big on them, like, Yo, you doing shit that a lot of people
can't like and like we're I'm trying to navigate it a certain
kind of weight because the school she went to, like when I
say they have at least two kids graduating at 16 every year,
like her ex-boyfriend, he's at Morehouse right now at 17 this
freshman year. One of her one of her ex best
not ex best friends. They're still they're still good
friends, but one of her other friends she went to, I want to
say it's not in cat North Carolina central.
So so like they she's coming. She's around kids who are doing
the damn thing, but I'm like, you're not them and they're not
you. You don't get the same situation
as them, right? I'm not I don't give a fuck when
nobody else got going on. We don't worry about what I got
going on with me and mine. So so so that's the thing with
her, like I said, she's so young and I'm not I'm I'm definitely
like a little sexy because if it was a boy, I'm like, OK, maybe
you can stay on campus, you know, but use a girl man and
you're she's tall. She's 511, she's 511.
She doesn't look like a little girl.
And no, I'm not about to like yo, no, sit your ass down.
You're. 16. He said what?
Better safe than sorry. Better safe than fucking sorry.
I think that in those type of
situations, maybe a school like Hampson would be a great choice
because of that curfew and they get time to fill out the campus.
They can't really go outside of campus unless they got a friend
or something, but maybe that would be the best place.
But. For sure.
So that that was crazy and she actually early applied and like
they pushed her back to regular decision and they said, yeah,
we'll let you know by January 15th.
My *** it's February was 15th. So.
So they still haven't sent us. That's crazy, right?
Right, right. When I say everybody else, like
fam, you gave us our acceptance. Got also state Kennesaw State,
we didn't get accepted, but Georgia Tech gave us our notice
because I just made her apply to every HPC, like a lot of because
she wants to do architecture. So I made her apply all over.
But like I said, I we definitely want to keep her in Georgia just
because, you know, if she goes to a public school, it's a
little bit cheaper her age. Like I really I trust her.
But like I said, I just I don't got time to find out.
Like it's the trust man. That's that's the and that's
that's the part. That's the, that's the part
right there. Trust me, verify.
It should be like, yeah, I did this.
I call her to the school. No, she didn't me a transcript
board. What the fuck are we talking
about? Why?
Why you saying? You lying mail.
And that's and that's where we're at with like the past,
like let's say since November, honestly, it's been longer than
that. But really November, like on
some the lies have just been just sorry, ass not even
elaborate. They've just been I'm at my
mom's house, call her mom. She's not over here.
What the fuck? Yeah.
Man, I got a little jacket car. That's that's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying so but it's safe.
It's life. It's the life we live, man.
Nobody was perfect so. All right, DeMarcus, going from
the Ronte to you, how was your Valentine's Day?
My. Valentine's Day was good.
We did most of our Valentine's Day, like actual celebrations on
the 13th. Good.
But we went and did like a couples massage.
Then we went to like dinner at this like Mexican seafood place.
Really, really good. And then on on the 14th, we went
out to dinner at a sushi place that we like called Hashigawa.
And that was, it was, man, it was good.
Yeah. And then we went to like a party
after that. And that was fun.
Like it was a, it was a party with like like apoc party, like
some black folks that we met a few weeks ago.
And it was, it was real. It was really legit.
Yeah, I have been partying a lot for a couple of 30 year olds.
But that's my Steelo man. I've always been like, look, a
kind of a party guy. You know, it's definitely slowed
down since like my 20s or whatever.
But even my teens, you know, my teeth fight was the ramp up.
But you know, it's definitely slowed down.
But like, yeah, I like to go out.
I like to have a good time. You at least go to one party
every week on top of you going out and doing all that other
stuff. When is the party and going to
end? Never.
Yes. Come on.
When I turned 70, I was going to figure out what a 70 year old's
party would be up in there. I'm trying to tell you in the
retirement home turned up and. If and if and if it ain't
nowhere, 7 year old's party or make one.
That's what I'm I know our generation, that's the problem.
Our generation definitely, by the time we get up there it's
definitely going to be elderly clubs like still playing Waka
Flocka and shit well. They still play Waka Flocka in
the clubs nowadays so. But in 40 years, yeah.
Will they still be playing it in 40 years?
Well. Who knows how trash means it's
going to be in 40 years. So yeah, this.
Valentine's Day, Jerry. Talk about it.
I'm in grocery shopping. I got some of my birthday treats
and these little coupons that they sent on your birthday.
I cashed those in and I didn't do nothing.
But now is the time of the week where we do a segment that was
invented by Loranta. This is the picture on segment
and it is sponsored by Movie Pass.
So DeMarcus, can you please tell them a little bit about Movie
Pass and are you hot Loranta? You got yo sweater, the jacket
and the undershadow. Like what is going on?
No, no, no, I'm so I'm in. I'm actually in the garage
because I really wanted to. I didn't want any outside,
nothing. I really wanted to make sure I
can give y'all the attention. Y'all got me.
So the clue. You say that, man.
We appreciate that. Yeah, no problem.
I could, I could tell us the people something about
MoviePass, but I think since this segment was invented by
Lorante, we should have him tell the people a little something
about Movie Pass. So you know you have your
script, but as you will, you know McMaster himself.
For sure, for sure. Thank you for passing the time,
DeMarcus man since wet since 2011 and you always been putting
me on, so I appreciate. It absolutely, absolutely, man.
It's never going to stop. Never going to stop Can't stop
Won't stop. Can't stop, won't stop.
Give me one second. This thing is come on, come on,
come on, come on, come on back. Don't feel me now.
I should have went with my Chromebook if my Mac was going
to move like this. All right, boom.
So let's get it to y'all. So moving pass.
This is a subscription based service that allows users to
watch multiple movies in theaters for a monthly fee.
It's designed to make movie going more affordable and
accessible by offering plans that enable subscribers to see a
certain number of movies per month, or even an unlimited
number. Depending on the plan.
Users would typically receive a movie pass card, which work like
a debit card, which works like a debit card at a theater covering
the cost of the movie ticket. So hey man, definitely
subscribe. Definitely subscribe.
Sounds like a the perfect plan and.
It definitely is. Like we said on the show,
there's also another hidden thing about Movie Pass.
A hidden benefit is that you can 'cause you use your card or your
points at an actual movie theaters website.
So when you buy your tickets, you actually get points from
that movie theater. So I went to the movie theater
and I was like, I wonder how many points I had, Chad, I could
give me the free large popcorn and a free drink.
They had a promotional tub I could get for the popcorn and I
still had 10s of thousands of points leftover.
That is the hidden rate factor of movie password come.
On. Now.
Alright, so with all that being said, is there anything Laronta,
that you want to put our people on to?
Oh for sure yeah, these Epstein files I'm just playing I'm just
playing I'm just playing, I'm just playing.
Oh, it's not nothing new. I probably talked about it
already, but it was it's the it's going on HBO right now
yeah. Knights of the 7A Knight of the
Seven Kingdoms. So I don't know if y'all talked
about it already, but it's it's a decent.
Let's talk about it. Yeah, it's a decent watch from
the Game of Thrones universe. It's it's set like in between
the Dance of the Dragon and the Game of Thrones universe.
So it's it's a nice little breath of fresh air.
It doesn't have to do deal necessarily with the target
area. It's just about a noble guy just
trying to do the right thing. He's an honest man in the
cricket world and you see his story.
So I think on episode 5, four or five, right.
And that's probably going to be an 88 episode run.
But it's just a decent little watch.
Nice little breath of fresh air. If you definitely like those
kind of things. It, like I said, it's not bad.
It's not great. It's definitely a good watch.
Like I said, it's so breath of fresh air, man.
He's just trying to do the right thing.
I I like it. I like it.
My little weekly, weekly little
piece of shit to watch. You know what I mean?
It's not yeah, it's it's not, Yeah, it's not.
It's not perfect. What?
What about y'all? What do y'all got to put people
on? I'm not, and we haven't talked
about it, but I'm not enjoying it, you know?
I don't like the funny ha ha, like he came out there, he took
a poop under a tree. There's another thing where and
DeMarcus actually text me this. He the old man came out butt
naked and his penis was extremely big.
DeMarcus text me like, oh, you gotta watch it 'cause this guy's
Dick is so big. I think he's talking about
whoever the tall he's talking about the old man.
I'm like, DeMarcus, what is your problem?
What what is the issue? And, and, and I, I, I'm just not
liking it. It does have no magic, does have
no zombies, doesn't have no anything that I watch Game of
Thrones for. And then I don't know, it's just
not doing it for me. And I saw Egg being a Targaryen
episode 1 I think I called it even before the episode started
It what to watch in 2026 episode.
But yeah, I'm I'm not liking it that much.
I'm not going to remember this after this.
Yeah, I can give you that. He probably definitely won't be
a season 2. I guess give him one off.
But I love it now. They they said that it's going
to be more seasons of. It yeah, 'cause this is a very,
it's a very calm show. Like, do you watch?
Do you watch the anime Free Ring?
No. OK.
Like Freeman is like, it's a very calm show.
Like, you can watch it. And it's not like you ain't
going to get too, you know, incense, you know, too riled up.
That's why I like it. It's like a nice, like a nice
nice little calm. It's not nothing too, too crazy
happens like today. Something might happen in
today's episode. It's a good bedtime show.
Yeah. Oh man, I'm trying to tell you.
I'm trying to tell you. Just trying to unwind, relax.
Yeah, so. OK.
DeMarcus, what do you have to put our business on to this
week? I'm going to put this came, this
came out last week, actually, I'm going to put our listeners
on to J Cole's new album, The Fall Off.
Yes. Sir, I waited.
I I pre-ordered the vinyl. It is A-44 record.
It is a four vinyl, you know, record and I waited to listen to
the album until I could have time to like sit down and listen
to it on the record And and I still had only gotten to gotten
through like 1/3 of it because I want to listen to it all on
vinyl before I started listening to it on Spotify.
Does it sound better like? But yeah, yeah, like, vinyls
always sound like richer whenever you listen to music on
vinyl, as long as it's like like an actual vinyl recording.
Sometimes it's just like we took the MP3 and like etched up and
it's, and that's like, OK, cool. And now I have a vinyl with
these songs on it. But like a vinyl recording is
like you can hear like the, like when people are like rapping or
singing, you can hear like the, you can hear like the little in
between sounds a lot better. Even if it's like, it's like an
instrumental, like Someone Like, You know, you can hear, you can
hear the boat when it goes back the other way if they're playing
a note on a violin or something like.
It's always just a headphones, 'cause I hear that I'm on every
Beyoncé thing I have, so I have my Bose headphones.
I always hear that stuff. So imagine how much better your
vinyl will sound through your Bose Bose headphones.
I'm not in 1956 so. OK.
So like, how is it 'cause every, everything of J.
Cole that I've ever listened to has been quite bored?
Like what? Boring.
Like you don't, you don't whip me.
Listen to music. I want to dance and I cannot
dance on anything that J. Cole has.
So like, is there anything dance worthy on this album?
Not the kind of dancing you want to do.
There you go. Yeah, yeah.
But it is really good. You know, it's lyrical.
I will. I will not say yet that this is
the best I've heard J. Cole, but it is really I do
really enjoy it. I'm definitely not trying to sit
and disambiguate some type of lyrics when I'm trying to dance
and move. That's not what I'm trying to do
with rap at all. I mean I.
But I applaud him for going to different HBC U's and visiting
their campus, including Hampton University.
Yeah, yeah. He did a marketing campaign.
He started at NCAT. He has like a black Honda he's
driving. Of course he has the bodyguards
with him. But yeah, he went to Hampton.
Hampton. He was at Clark.
He was at Clark last week. He's actually at a club out here
and he stayed all night. They they stayed till the lights
came on. Yeah.
So he's been, he's been marketing it really well.
My only thing is it's just, you know, hip hop is very
competitive and when you say stuff like I'm the best, I'm the
best, I'm the best. And you know, he backed out that
B flash or two years. It's been 2 years.
So I knew how he was going to come on this album, this one,
he's still going like he's still one of the best.
His pen 2nd and 2nd and a few, I'll say second to few.
And so I knew he wasn't going to do none of those because I
listened to it three times. I think, like just driving at
work. Yeah.
Yeah, driving at work. I definitely.
But like, what I like about his music, though, and a lot of rap
like that, you can listen to it five times and there's still
going to be some things you're going to miss.
Like it's just going to be something like, damn.
Like, you know what? I didn't even think about that.
You know I. Didn't catch that the first four
or five times. Right.
And that's what I do. So I do appreciate his kind of
music because it's like rap is just in a play or music itself
is just in a place to where, as you know, you got to be consumed
so quick and immediately you got to put your opinion out in the
1st 30 minutes. Like no man, let this shit
breathe, man. Let that shit breathe.
Yeah. Yeah, I definitely get that with
Beyoncé. Oh, how did you like Cowboy
Carter? Oh, I loved it man.
OK, let me stop. Let me stop, let me stop.
So how I am man. I don't like anything when it
first comes out. That's my problem.
I'm like oh this this is weak. This is trap.
Why would they do this? Why do two months later it's
still, it's still like 3 records I'm not big on.
But like I said for the majority of it, like I really because
like I said, it's a breath of fresh hair.
She's doing something different. I love it when she she she steps
out, but she's still like my favorite Beyoncé is
Brachodoshi's Beyoncé. Like when Beyoncé pops her shit,
my favorite one, and she still had a couple records on there
where she was like, hey, I'm still Queen Bee and I'm gonna
show you all why. Like whether it be vocally or
whether it be these concepts, like these very abstract
concepts that we can still put into a box.
I had a friend I actually got to fighting with, not physically,
verbally. She's like, that's just not a
country album. That's not a country album.
I was like why? How is it not a country album?
If Keith, if Keith Urban sung this song right now like this
shit would go. I don't know the the CMA awards.
I don't know what those shits are called but this one went all
the CMA is what? It's.
Called oh OK, OK yeah OK this month went all the CMA is all
the Grammys. So it's just you just can't
unfortunately, she's so big they they're like yo, you're in this
box your R&B your R&B, even though that shit was that shit
was very country so so it was cool man.
I actually went to the I went to the concert man.
I was in the I was in the two hot.
I was in the two hands to Evan section, but I was in the
building like it was it was it was decent man are.
You into the. Yeah, man, I'm low key.
I'm not crazy though. I'm not deranged, but I'm, I'm
definitely, I ain't buy nothing. I ain't buy shit.
Oh no. Look, they fucked with me at the
fucking, at the fucking. What's it called at the key?
Not the kiosk, the vendors. I was just like, yo, let me
because the the what's the Sir David?
Like Yo let me get a cup. And they I guess he thought I
was like here with my girl or some shit.
They gave me two cups. So I was like, OK, appreciate
you. I'm here for me.
What are you talking about? What are you talking about?
So you were there by yourself. So yeah, right.
So this is my thing. This whole last year was my
thing. Like yo, fuck it, I'm just go to
concert. So I took my daughter.
I took my daughter to see Tyler, The Creator because she loves
Tyler Crater. Next month I went to saw
Kendrick because I was like, yo, I got to see Kendrick and I saw
fucking Beyoncé. And then in December I saw a
gunner, the rapper gunner. So I was like, yo, that that was
just like, I don't travel for real, for real, because like,
you know, my time is really like weird.
So I'm like, yo, I can do a three hour concert now.
Like and granted, like like I said, now I I can just be in the
building like I don't need to be in the floor like where I'm I'm.
It depends on who I'm seeing. Like when I saw you a couple
weeks ago, I was like at the stage I could have grabbed his.
Who you saw where? Oh, oh, yeah.
See, that's a good one. That's a good one.
Like I also like, I cap myself.
I get myself like, you know, like, like it can only cost so
much. I get myself spending caps when
they come to concerts. Like I like, oh, like for
Kendrick Lamar, I will spend $200.
If I if I cannot get if I cannot get what I want for $200, I
won't go. And, and that's the part I'm
saying. And so with us being where we're
at, like in Atlanta, like, yeah, I had a 300 level for Kendrick.
I had a 300 level seat. I, I was able to go down to the
200 because I, I, I do part time work at the band.
So I knew somebody. And then we're gonna what I had
a friend, a home girl who was like, she's a usher in like the
100 level. So it's not the floor, but it's
still the 100. She's like, hey, just buy a
ticket. Come in 30 minutes before I'll
get you in. And it was right, right, right.
So I got the 100 level gonna Tyler, The Creator, one of my
mom's friend. He has like concert seats, like
the concert club box, like he has seats and he just rents them
out for for different events. Now, granted, it was her
birthday last year. So I, I, I went over, I, I did,
I just spent a little. Penny for her birthday, yeah.
A open bar though. Open Bar Unlimited.
Food worth it? And that's, I don't know, not
one Tyler Crater song, but best believe I was in there jumping
up and down. Great.
So, well, the greatest rapper alive is Beyoncé.
Definitely better than J. Cole or two checks.
And. What I want to put y'all on to
is this new horror movie called Exit 8.
So Exit 8 is based on this. Oh, have I done this before?
What? Exit 8 have I I heard talked
about yesterday before. I think you, I think you did,
yeah. You talked about exit 8 last
week and like he got a turn around with shit change but he
don't. Great.
Well, no, he does. So yeah.
Then the movie I want to talk about is It Ends.
This movie has four teenagers on a road, and what they have to do
is get to the next as a nation. The problem is this road doesn't
end. And when they stop on this road,
people start running towards them like and that they have to
hurry up and get back into their car.
The road does not end. So for an hour and 30 minutes,
we are in this car with these people and they're going through
days, months, years on this road.
They're not aging, they're not hungry.
They're on through the bathroom. They are just on this road
forever. And it's scary, it's creepy,
it's bone chilly. But.
Do they need to be gas? Like do they got to refuel the
car? No, they don't.
They don't. So why would they ever have to
stop? Does someone get sleepy?
No, they don't get sleepy either.
They're just on the road forever.
OK, OK. And what do you want to say?
No. No, no, go ahead, go ahead.
Go. Ahead And, you know, they're on
this road if they can't stop because people will come back
then like they're trying to, you know, and.
Where is this at? What?
What streaming site or service? Oh, it's not on a streaming?
Site of service it's called. It ends.
This sounds like one of those K
dramas or like what? What is this?
This isn't Korean, is it? Not at all.
It's American. It's American.
That sounds good.
I. I have been watching a lot of
Tik Toks and I watched a lot of the horror pages and they have
actually been talking about this movie for months and months and
months and months and months now.
So when I finally saw it at the end of the Christmas break, they
were like, Oh no, it's definitely out.
What you find like this? Is it?
Is it with Blake Lively? No, it's for teenagers.
Yeah, starring Blake Lively. Is it Blake Lively?
Is it from 2024? No, 2025?
I thought it was 2025. Yeah, you can watch it on
Netflix. I was on Netflix, I didn't know
that Blake Lively is in it. Blake Lively.
Is no, that's two different things bro 'cause you're you're
talking about. Oh, that's in.
I'm sorry. I am exactly.
Yeah. How did she get cancelled?
Not the same movie. Yeah, just it is.
Anyways, it is it's kind of it kind of gives me like very
similar vibes like It Follows, which is another.
Movie I watched It follows, yeah.
A sequel this year, so yeah, if you liked It Follows, you will
love it is. OK.
Alright, so DeMarcus, do we have an activity for this week?
We do, we do, we absolutely have an activity and this is not a,
you know, right or wrong. What's the right answer to this
kind of trivia activity? It's just like getting to know
everybody again. You know, it's been some time
that we, you know, since we hung out, all hung out together.
I'm sure some of our opinions and things have changed and we
just want, you just want everyone to, you know, re.
We just want to reintroduce everyone to our favorite Co host
Lorante and you know, take this opportunity to reintroduce
reintroduce into ourselves as well as you know, some of our
opinions have changed even though we talk every week.
I got a question real quick. Sidebar.
Did you all come up with a name for the fans?
Yeah. Our inner geeks.
OK, All right.
All right. Oh.
No, I didn't approve of that. I mean, you've always called
them day. I don't I've.
Been saying it for months now it's it's it's stuck.
At this point, at this point, they're energies I.
Have never never called them that, so that is an unofficial.
OK, OK. So was that it?
Was that what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, that's OK.
Man, so if you're joining us for the first time with Black Geek
Energy, how the way Games work, DeMarcus comes up with the
games, he comes up with questions, the answers, he
decides who's right, who's wrong, and he is the judge, jury
and executioner of all things Black Geek Energy games.
So, yeah, when I say goes and we'll see, you know, this is
like I said, this is this is an easy one.
I haven't figured out what the call is.
Let's just call it, you know, getting to know you again,
getting to know to know. OK.
All right. I'm thinking of a number between
1:00 and 10:00. I will abstain from this number
and I will let Ron take on 1st. I'm going to choose 8.
OK, well, he said. He said he's going to do a
first, so we're just going. To Oh, OK, I'm sorry, don't be.
Sorry. Be careful, ho.
I'm just playing. I'm just playing.
All right. So question number one, what is
something that you are into now that the old version of you will
roast you for? OK.
And when we say old version, can you give me like a time frame?
I'm sorry. From the from the when you were
first on the pod to now. Damn, what is something?
I'm pretty. What's something?
Damn, I should have read the e-mail.
I should have read the e-mail. I'm just playing.
I'm just playing clip. Pretty much the same.
Same *** Honestly ain't shit. Really.
All right, well, let's let's let's let's make it a little
better. Let's do it.
Let's go from high school you to.
There you go. There you go for shit show.
OK, definitely Beyoncé, definitely.
Like I'm not a crazy, I'm big on.
I'm not like a delusional guy. She's still a human being.
But like, as much as I fucking listen to her, bro, I'll be
like, what the fuck? Why am I listening to the
Renaissance? Just driving this shit.
This should be jamming. Like she gave me the point A to
point B. OK, yeah, that's I don't know.
I'll do better. I'll come over.
It's I can go through the conversation, something's gonna
pop up. My you know what, *** That that
right there. Yeah.
Jerry, how about you? What's something that?
You are empty now that high school you would roast me for.
Drunky ballerina. See.
Because. Ballerina.
See. Yeah, *** you already fucking.
I'm really not but. But 20 bricks in his pocket,
right Stop. But when I was older, I didn't
drink tea at all because tea was this hot water and dirt mashed
together to make a beverage. Now I appreciate tea and I
appreciate pooping and I drink ballerina tea often.
I was going to drink some today but I actually had Curry this
morning for breakfast and I had Mexican this evening for for my
dinner and I don't need it. Moving boy.
What about you? Yeah, I'm thinking now,
something I'm into now that high school me would make fun of me
for. I think couples video games, I
think high school would like he would he would roast me for that
because like I was a big solo gamer growing up.
And so you know, I'm playing I'm playing like Fable and playing
Final Fantasy and I'm playing by myself.
And if I am playing, like, Co-op or if I am playing, like,
multiplayer games, it's like competitive like, And it's not,
it's not, not so many like, oh, let's work together and figure
this out. All right, I'm going to wait for
you here at the end of the platform while you figure your
puzzle out. You know?
Yeah, I feel like high school be like, bro, why you wait?
This is taking forever. Why you playing with them?
Because you have to have a chaperone for video games now
who you no. I know.
For new video games. Why I got to have a chaperone
for new video games? I wish I knew the answer to
that. OK, All right, let's move on to
#2. Sidebar sidebar did y'all play
that Ghost of Sashima 2 Ghost of Did y'all play that?
Nah, no, I'm just curious. Before I spent $70.00 so I.
Played it, you can wait. Her.
OK, sorry about that. Just just curious.
No worries, No worries. All right.
Since, Since the last time. Yeah.
This is the one. This is the last time we
recorded together. What piece of geek culture has
taken over your personality? Taking over my personality.
Damn. So it's this show called the
Tower of God, my youngest. She really she really likes that
show. She really has the I'm not
saying so I'm not saying it's taking over, but through proxy
of her watching it, I'm watching it at first, like and I'm not
even that far like 'cause I'm going back myself to actually
watch it. I'm on like episode 4.
But she she's like, she's into that shit for like, for sure.
Yeah, your daughter. Yeah, yeah, I'm like, this
nigga's a bitch. Why are you always so pussy with
it? Like, bro, come on.
Like, but it, you know, things get revealed through time, you
know, and so on and so forth. So.
But it was actually pretty. That's why I said it was pretty
good. It was pretty good.
So that's the one that's kind of taking over right now.
That's like at the forefront of my anime watcher, honestly.
With me, of course, it's One Piece.
I have speed through One Piece since that's him.
But I'm currently, no, I'm trying to slow down now 'cause I
don't want to wait weeks for another, well, a week for
another episode. But I, I, I am at the last three
episodes of the Windell arc or the last two episodes now.
And yes, definitely one piece. I love Bon clay, Bon clay
supremacy Bon clay forever. Bon clay should have been on the
ship over Sanji. Sanji should not be a part of,
of the of of the star hat pirates because he's a butthole.
So Bon Clay forever Bon Clay and and and Luffy was just a
announced that he's a a empire of well, empire of CC.
Yeah. So yeah, that's that's what
episode I saw. Luke, your ditch right now.
Yeah, nice. So what about?
You what kicked on my second of your.
Life, for me, it's Daggerheart. I spend like so much time
thinking about Daggerheart nowadays, like, you know, like
y'all know me like, like I got into D&D and I think this is
like kind of my personality. Like when I find something new,
I like dive into it both feet and I like really get into it
for a for a minute and then all of a sudden it's like I go cold
Turkey on it. And then I like find a balance
and I'm like, oh, OK, I'll do this thing here and there.
So Daggerheart is the thing right now.
And it's probably mostly just because I'm running a
Daggerheart campaigns because I'm like watching the
Daggerheart instruction videos on YouTube.
I'm watching, I'm watching live plays or Daggerheart just so I
can like get a better feel of the game and how how things go.
Yeah, me too. I'm doing that a lot 'cause I'm,
you know, I am DME, my first campaign and I am watching a lot
of this stuff on Tiktok, on YouTube as well.
So yeah, nice, alright #3 what is your current toxic geek trait
or fan trait? And it could be like arguing
about power scaling, skipping filler episodes, saying the
manga is better. What is your What is your toxic
geeky trait? Probably it's going to be this
way forever, skipping the intros.
I do that. I do that all the time.
Like I watched the first, like when it first comes on, like,
like whenever I'm watching, if I knew, whatever, yeah, let's
watch it. But if it's one of those two
minutes, like we think it's in, it comes back with a reprise.
Hey, man. And One Piece 1.
Piece does that and I skipped the Magiddy.
I skipped the end. These episodes are like 18 to 15
minutes long if you skip the the the the filler.
Intro. And yeah, 'cause it's the intro,
recap, outro preview, skip all that mess 'cause I'm going to
watch the next one right now anyway.
Damn, what? What about you, Jared?
It would probably be making sure everybody knows the rules, D&D
making sure that we all understand what the rules are,
and we are not moving forward unless we do all understand
what. The rules and if we're breaking
the rules, everyone has an understanding that we are not
following said rule. As as made by Wiz of the Coast,
but by Hasbro. For me, my toxic geeky tray is
buying comic books and not reading them because I have, I
still have a comic book subscription at the at a comic
stop comic store down here. So like every month I go in and
pick up my comics and then they just sit because I just I don't
make a lot of time to read. And when I do read is usually
for Daggerheart or for or like a book club.
Yeah, I don't I don't make a lot of time to read for my personal
enjoyment these days. Well, although I do enjoy
reading for those things that I mentioned.
OK, OK. What's the most you've changed
moment you've had in the past year?
Geek or real life? The most changed moment?
The most the the moment where you felt most like, Dang, I've
changed. Yeah, just for me because I'm
very high and like avoid it. Like I'll avoid some shit or
procrastinate until the the 19th hour or or the midnight hour.
Like I've, so I've gotten way, I mean way better 'cause it's all
like whatever you're afraid of or progressing, just do that
shit 'cause on the other side you'll feel so much better.
It's it's so simple, easier said than done, but that's for me.
That's definitely one of my my biggest ones.
For me it is well I did say one piece.
I was so against doing One Piece because of this length, but I
think that what it really is is We 0.
How much I don't like We 0 now because the main character
doesn't die. Like he is just living and he
learns about and he knows about the world and nothing's out to
get him. Like I think that I'm going to
watch the first 3 episodes of this upcoming season and then
I'm going to be done with We 0. Damn.
There he doesn't die anymore. I wanted to see him die and come
back when he was, you know, the mental.
Yeah, we hear all that. Exactly.
So I don't want to see him happy.
And he knows everything. And he's the feeling, the sins.
What is that? I don't want to see that.
So I want to see him die. Like I don't want to see him do
that, but I want to see him die in the process.
He has to die against each sin that he goes up with.
Multiple times I. Don't know, no.
Multiple times, Thousands of times.
Thousands of times. Oh.
Jesus. OK, for me, it is not so much a
geeky thing, but like having to do lists for like when I'm at
work or like when I'm at home. I got like a little whiteboard.
Yeah, because this is, you know, I do record in my office.
So I, I work here as well as do my do the pie here.
But like, I'll like at the start of the day, I'll make like a
quick To Do List of like things I want to accomplish.
And it might only be like 3 things where it might be like 5
things, but I try to keep it compact.
I don't try to go more than five.
And it's like I'll have like A to do To Do List of like work
things and A to do list of like personal things.
And it's, you know, some days like it, it helps me like get
those things done because it's like, all right, I want to
scratch this thing off the list. Let me put in a time to get that
done. OK, cool.
Nice. All right.
Which number 5? Which fictional character do you
relate to now that you definitely didn't before?
You said fictional. You can you.
Can pick any character, you can pick anybody.
That's what I'm trying to. I'm trying to think like
somebody that I wouldn't have thought of, but then boom.
I'll just say Bon Clay because his loyalty to the Straw Hair
Pirates is he's very hard working.
He can kick like I can kick. He likes to dance, you know, I
like to dance and he likes to look fabulous in his outfits and
I like to fabulous, so I'm glad. Yeah, you still thinking,
Laurence? Yeah, I'm so sorry about that.
For me it's villains in general because like, like growing up I
wouldn't like I was never on the villain side.
I'm like, heroes all the way. They are, right?
They're protecting the people. And then sometimes and but I
think like as I've gotten older, it's like, oh, it's like, well,
this villain has a very good point.
Yeah, you had to grow. Up.
Like, yeah, Like if we talk about like, if we're talking
about like Attack on Titan, it's like, yeah, you know, like Aaron
is the villain. And he has a great point.
Like he's trying to protect his people.
You know Magneto. Better than Professor X?
Yeah. But yeah, so like, just like I
found myself often being like, I understand why this person chose
villainy. Good.
Yeah. Good.
Yeah. I'd never like with Magneto.
I never thought, Oh no, he's tripping.
No, he just wanted, you know, a safe place for all mutant kind.
So I I never thought for me, I'm trying to think of a hero or a
character who was like going against the heroes who'd be who
are like we can't kill him because we kill him.
We're no more no more better than a villain.
Man, fuck that. This man just killed 10,000
people like let's off his ass. What is he I'm trying to think
of? I I can't think about him off
top right now, but y'all know a couple of guys who are like the.
Ultimate villain who won't kill the people who was killing
10,000 people in Gotham. That exactly.
That's what I'm saying. That's what we need to get rid
of. Like, come on, man, Jokers, I've
been here terrorizing motherfuckers for decades and we
just going to throw them in Arkham?
He's going to break out. Rinse and repeat and then come
on, man. All right.
Number six, what heel are you prepared to die on in 2026?
Honestly, honestly, I feel like, and it's I'm not like I'm not
going to get too crazy, but like a lot of the systems we have,
just anything, even on the geek shit, just as like Americans, a
lot of the systems we have, it could be anything.
Whereas our healthcare, our fucking travel systems, they
just fucking terrible, man. Like, and I'm not saying just
get rid of it just to get rid of it, but it's like we keep
putting band aids on shit and then we we find out the people
who are in charge like the worst, but we've been knowing
they're the worst kind of people.
We've been through that, but it's like it's in front of us.
So like, where do we go from here?
Like where do we, where do you go from here?
So my thing is America's fucked up.
We just need to become one like big great continent country like
Canada, Mexico and America. We just need to morph into one
and great. No, that's too Big South.
America as well. Oh, now that's massive.
I think, I think the United States need to be broken up into
four quadrants. Oh, that shouldn't be too lit.
The South would be too lit. Hey, hey, last in education.
It will be lit, but will we go? Will we be slaves again?
I don't know. Last in education.
It's like first in entertainment though.
Entertain everything, be entertaining as hell, but dumb
as shit. The South boy like it's it's
getting bad. Like I'm in the cab now, man,
and they're talking about closing like 30 schools they're
going to repurpose for like the it's it's proposed, it's
proposed. They're voting on it and like
the they're voting on it this fall and it won't take effect
until two years. But still, *** like because
they're saying, and I don't know the exact numbers, but let's
just say the CAB is has a capacity of 100,000 kids right
now they have 80,000. So they're saying like a 20,000
kid deficit. So they want to repurpose the
schools and I'm just like, bro, what sense does that make?
Like get rid of three high schools, get convert 4 middle
schools and then eliminate like 8-8 or nine elementary schools.
It's just like, yo, what are we talking about, man?
Yeah, we. They just don't.
Yeah. The heel that I would like to
die on, Well, I've said all my heels.
Beyoncé's greatest rapper, Fine Clay should be allowed on the
ship like Dito. Very Professor Xavier Batman's
the biggest building in DC. But I think that a heel that I
have not talked about on here that I would like to die on is
everybody gay? Everybody.
Everybody's gay. Pay more How?
How is everyone gay? Everybody gay, whether it's you
are outwardly gay like me or whether you are flamboyant or
not, whether you're in the closet or the yeah or or just
need a quick $20, everybody, everybody gay.
So, so my thing is with everybody being gay is that why
is it such a problem? Why does Grinder shut down every
thought? There's a Republic National
Convention. Why everybody gay 'cause
everybody gay. So, so my thing is like, don't
shine us in on the pulpit, Donnie McClurkin.
And then in real life you have your little boob right beside
you. So don't do that because
everybody gay. Everybody gay?
OK, everybody -1?
No, Everybody gay. Everybody gay.
It don't matter. It don't matter if you can live
your whole life and never have any gay experiences, but
everybody still gay. Everybody gay.
And everybody gonna be gay and everybody gonna die gay.
Everybody gay? The heel that I am willing to
die on in 2026 is everyone needs to try a tabletop game.
Like in my head, everyone needs to try DND, everybody needs to
play DND. But you know, maybe that's not
everyone's flavor. So but there is a tabletop
role-playing game out there that is a flavor that somebody that
for that everyone would like and everybody needs to try it
because it and even if you don't like it and you never do it
again, everybody needs to try it.
You got it. Like get in there, give it a
shot, you know, go through a full session, do the role play,
make the character, roll the dice, play with your friends,
and then see how you feel about it.
Because the two, the 2 tables that I've started both, I think
like, like both times I play with people who had, I was
playing with people who had never played.
And I had, you know, and I would say 80 to 90% of the people who
played were like, oh hell yeah. Like this is this is it.
And even people who weren't playing were just like in the
room listening. They were like, you know what?
I kind of want to fucking play. That's the thing though, because
everybody isn't for the improv of it all.
Let me give you an example. Today I watch a little bit of
the Mike Vick show that's on BT and it's about my Victoria and
his family. But it's also about those
football players. If you don't know football
players, they could either be extremely out there and
extroverted or they're extremely introverted, especially when a
camera goes on. And those football players at
North State, everyone that they were interviewing were not for
the cameras. Like, they were just, they're
like, how was it? How did you feel?
Like, I'm guessing that they asked them, how did you feel
when this happened during the game?
They said, oh, I feel all right. No, you have to tell.
And even Michael Vick, like, like, like he was like, and I
had to talk to him about doing something.
No, you have to say I talked to him about doing something
because when I was a blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, like I had
this experience. I wanted to park there on there.
Like the, the production of that TV show wasn't good.
The the like everything wasn't good.
It was just a lot of cool visuals of the fan of the
football fan of the game, but the actual production of it was
not good. And like, that's why I'm like,
if you have something where you where the player has to be
extroverted, where they have to be out there, especially if
they're in a group that isn't their friends, I don't think
they will succeed on something. Like, but well, part of what I
said is play with your friends. So in, in, because any you put
anybody in an uncomfortable space doing an uncomfortable
thing like, yeah, they're going to flop.
It's it's very few people who will like thrive in that
environment. So play with your friends, set
up the environment and how you would like.
If your friends usually like drink when they hang out and
play spades, cool. This this session is going to be
about y'all going to have some drinks in real life and the
characters are going to be like at a casino playing spades or,
or craps or whatever. And we're going to role play all
this. I, I don't know, seeking does
football players because I've worked with football players
like that and. That's the same.
And I think, I think, I think you could be surprised like the
people who are like the quietest, who are like the most
reserved. Like once they once they get the
feel of like role-playing an improv and realize that they
have carte blanche to do what they want in this world, they
really come alive. You just got to coach them a
little bit. You really still merge himself
in the culture. Yeah, absolutely.
All right, let's move on #7 what is 1 Geek opinion?
You hailed back that you are now ready to publicly apologize for
or not apologize for something you said before, and you won't
stand on it even today. It's it's kind of fucked up, but
I'm still say it. I don't give a fuck about Subs.
I'm sorry. I still watch it.
Something I'll watch some shit. If it's not offered dub, I'll
still watch it. I, I, I I'm better, I'll I'll
still watch some dubs. I will I will I'll watch I'll
watch it. I'll watch some sub.
I'll watch it but I'm trying to lay down I'm.
Over there now I, I, I, I have come over to your side a lot
now, like I will just wait to like on JJK.
Do you think I watch the JJK sub?
Oh no, I could barely understand it dub, but I watch the dub and
I'm definitely in there dub. I will never watch JJK dub.
So I think that if it has the dub option, then I'm just going
to wait for it. It's not simulcast like I'm
still watching One Piece which is on last season because the
dubs coming up now. Like Speaking of JJK, this whole
season, like I definitely have to kept rewinding, like just to
make sure I'm getting every single hold on, I I read it, but
let me make sure I read that shit right.
Let me go back 10 minutes, 10 minutes because like, no,
because like they'll get into some shit.
Like especially when they met Tango and she just like
explaining the color game, whole bunch of shit just popped up.
So first I was 5. Yeah.
Exactly. Exactly.
Yeah, we we had a whole episode of that white room and the JJJ
questions and comes out next week.
But I was just like, what is this show?
It it was a lot. It was a lot.
So I definitely and then the algorithm, you know, the phones
are listening. So my TikTok, it'll be like all
right on this week or the OR season 3 break.
Now this, this, this, this, this is this, this that I was OK.
But yeah, JJK, they're doing a lot.
But hey, we're all right, Jardo, Go ahead.
What's this? Another hill I'll die on or.
No, no, no, no. A geek opinion that you held
back in the day that you are now ready to apologize for or now?
Oh, that I held back in the day. Star Wars ass.
I'm just playing. I'm just playing.
You know what is booty behind butt cheeks?
What's that? The Hobbit The Hobbit deserves
to be locked in a vault. Never.
Never deserves to be outside of of of the vote for viewer
pleasure, 'cause it's not pleasure to view it.
It's horrible. And everybody who DeMarcus, you
haven't seen it for 20 years, be quiet.
Everybody who likes that show, everybody who likes that show is
a child or is their first movie ever watching it.
That movie is horrible. That people are horrible.
Everybody it is, it's, it's trash.
Everybody in that movie is trash.
So yeah, I, I, I, I, I think that The Hobbit would be my, my
hill that I'm still standing on or, or my opinion that I'm not
ready to apologize for. It and I won't forget, but and
so you've OK, cool and you're you're not apologizing for that.
You're you're standing on you're you're you're you're re standing
on it. Yes, Alright.
Is there anything that I've had on the show that I need to
apologize for? I don't know.
I cannot recall right now on the top of my head.
Yeah, for me, I yeah, I'm not, I'm not going to apologize for
it yet, but I am looking at, I am evaluating this opinion and
it's and it's loving anime movies because, you know, I've,
I've been to theaters, I've seen some anime movies that that were
good. I've seen some that were bad.
I see I've seen something that had to grow on me and I think
what I am starting to see happen very, very slowly at this point,
only here and there is that we are getting anime movies instead
of seasons of anime. And if that crosses, and if that
ever crosses A threshold to where like I get one season of
an anime and then it's all movies, I'll be pissed because I
want to watch it. I mean but would you rather have
them drag out something for 12 episodes that they could just
sell you the hour and 30 minute movie?
Yes, yes, I would rather 12 episodes.
Correct I. Would not because that whole
episode of the culling game when they were sitting in that white
room talking for a whole episode with text on all sides of the
screen and in the floor, that was not called for.
Laurante, have you seen the Demon Slayer movie?
No, I haven't. I haven't don't.
Demon Slayer is one of those ones.
When I say that movie is so fucking good bro.
Don't watch. Is it the new one?
The new one? Because the last one I saw was
the fucking train one. Yeah, that train one pissed.
Me off. It's worse than the train.
Why does it piss you off?
Why does it? Piss you off?
It was. It was subbed.
OK, that that that was that was 30%.
That was 30 to 40%. My thing is because somebody
told me like the guy with the lightning blade, right?
He's not using lightning. It's just a technique that
resembles, you know, he's really fast.
I'm like, what the fuck are we talking about?
This is animate. They fighting demons.
No, he's not that fast. All that stuff is just drawn
that way and animated that. Way.
Yeah, that's just flourish. That's and that's what got me
I'm like bro, they got demons for real.
Why don't they have muhfuckas with real deal?
You know this is animated. What are we talking about?
Why are we limiting ourselves? That's and that's not a real
complaint, but that was. Yeah, that's.
It that's a solid complaint. No, no, no, that's what, but I
I'll circle back because I don't, I don't really have much.
No, no, no, no, no, like how I am.
It's like, just because I don't like something doesn't mean it's
not good. It's just I'm a little I I, I
put the onus on me. Like sometimes I'm a little slow
and I like, I'm like, yo, six years later, I'm late as fuck,
but hey, I'm still I I found alive, right, right, right,
because it's quite a few things. I can't think on top, but I was
definitely like late on some shit that I should have been on
immediately, but I was just like, no, I don't like that kind
of stuff just because I had, you know, shit in my own head.
So I'm not going to knock anything, especially if millions
like Demon Slayer definitely creeped into like the top.
I ain't going to say top three. I ain't going to put it in the
top three, but it's definitely up there in the top five of
anime like of most known anime type shit.
Yeah, man, but that Demon Slayer movie is good bro.
You got to watch it. OK, So Jared eunuchs.
No, I said. The Hobbit.
Oh OK I think we all went. I think we want the next 1 #8.
If someone binge binge watched your life since we last linked
up, what genre would it be? You know those TV stations that
we used to have that show what was on every other TV station?
Oh, like ATV guide? Yeah, the.
TV Guide. I would be the TV Guide.
Shut the fuck up. Yeah, 'cause that's, that's what
I do is I come over here and tell you what I watched.
So that's that's our VTV guide. Lawrence, say, how about you?
My shit'll be like is trying to find the mix.
It's like, 'cause it's been, it's been a, it's been a like a
little, a little ride. It's been, definitely been a
little movie these past few years.
I'll say like one of those inspirational come up, you know,
stay down till you come up, you know.
So it's been, it's been good. It's been we still got a ways to
go, but life has been life has been life and.
Yeah. Let me sit up, let me sit up.
I want to get too comfortable. I think mine would be like an
action slice of life or like a drunk slice of life, like a like
drama action slice of life. It would be something like the
way of the house husband or Sakamoto days where it's like,
oh, this is like like most of this show is just him doing
regular stuff, but everything he does something like crazy and
it's like exciting my. Question for you, what's
something that you've done crazy since not correct and surfboard
wasn't crazy, but was something you've done like that since
'cause you went surfing those years ago We just.
Talked about that on the Patreon.
Right, I don't even know the answer to it.
Is this something recent that you're thinking on?
We'll talk about it on the Patreon.
OK. You're not a very crazy guy.
It wouldn't be an action cause the quarter days does by
everybody at least once the episode that lasts for about the
majority. Yeah, yeah.
So, you know, some sometimes I feel like it depends on where
you catch me. Sometimes it's like half and
half like it's sometimes it'll be like like soccer motor days
where it's half and half. Sometimes like the way the house
husband and it's like I'm doing regular stuff, but I'm just
being funny about it all. Right.
Next question. All right.
This is the last one. OK, I'll just I'll make I'll
make this the last one right now in your life is this.
Do you think you are main character energy, side character
energy or wise mentor energy? Wise men, wise mentor say
background? Character.
Oh, background character, definitely.
Why background character Jared? You guys, I'm in the background
like nothing's going on in my life right now, so I.
Get something going. Yeah, I get something going for
you. I know.
What about you, La Ronce? Definitely, you know, always
main character and also was it the the guider kind of mentor,
you know, protector because I'm back in management in the
restaurants and how I am with all my teams.
You know, I I definitely get to know how you are a little bit
about you, what you got going on at the house.
So when you come to work, like I care, leave that shit at it
though, me and my old lady going through it.
Damn, man, that's fucked up. Leave that shit at the dough.
We'll talk about it after this. Let's get this shit by the way,
like, but I definitely you know, oh, I went through that.
You know, this is how we handle it.
Or, you know, I mean, I'm, I'm not, I can't tell you how to
live your life, but I'm just saying this is what I would do.
And then, yeah, get them a little bit of knowledge because
especially man, especially them young boys, man, because it's
just a different day of age and they they're going through a
different, just a different generation.
And they got it easier and harder at the same time.
Right. Right.
Absolutely. So, so we all, we all, when
we're all younger, we're always dealing with our girls going to
take about older men or men with more resources.
So that's always going to be around.
You just got to be confident in yours, man.
Yeah. So hey, and if you leave
somebody with something more, it's more fish in the sea, but
friends standing right next to her.
Come on man, do not, do not. She's just hey man, come on now,
crying. Come on it it don't be literal
crying. You just not as as older man.
Just like winding. Yeah, complaining it's like a
pit man. A pimp named Slip Back would be
disappointing. Come on, very a a a bunch of
thing. I put a plethora thing over
women. I'll put a ham sandwich over.
OK. All right.
DeMarcus, what about you? I think I am wise mentor, main
character. I feel like I'm a combination of
the 1st 2:00 because like I'm doing my, I got the capstone
group going at my job where we are sponsoring a group of
students from the University of Washington, helping them
complete a final project so that they can graduate.
And then, but I'm also like, you know, starting a business now,
you know, and also like running this Daggerheart campaign.
So like I'm doing a lot of stuff for myself too.
So I'm making more time to like hang out with my friends.
So I'm like kind of like recentering my life on myself
and it's been going well. OK, All right.
That was a interesting game. Something I wanted to say is
Laronta this week the Marcus was featured on the Player Player
podcast where he was a guest star and he talked a lot about
his time on this podcast on Black Idiot, how it got started,
and I was confused mostly with what he was talking about.
Like oh shit. What's going on?
So I wanted to ask him which he on he the phone because he did
mention that, you know, you were part of these initial
conversations that he was not going to be a part of.
It's just going to be us. And you know, things happen and
now it's just me and him. But there's some things I wanted
to clarify if you do not mind with you on the phone.
OK. It's about me.
So one thing that DeMarcus said on the Player Player podcast is
that he was not going to be on the show, but we or you called
him to ask that he wants to be on the show.
And then you're like, see Jed, I knew he could he would want to
be on it 'cause I was on three-way in secret.
I don't remember that happening. Did that happen?
No, no, we didn't put yeah, come on.
I wouldn't put nobody on secret. That's on three-way on secret.
That doesn't sound. That's not very key of me.
That, that and that and that and that could have been a mistake
in my memory. I, I apologize for saying that
and I take it back. I just.
They have 100,000 followers and listeners and then they think
that I'm some because something else he said is that I'm like
this hard hitting with a whip. You have to be on timing.
You have to do this and you can't chase it.
I don't care if you're sick or what's going on.
And I was like, I just want hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
So so there this 100 million followers and listeners are
thinking that I'm like this hide hitting slave driver of of
something over DeMarcus and when I did not even warn him to be on
this podcast. I also said in that same
segment, it's like, no, Jared is very flexible.
Like if you have something coming up, if you're feeling
sick, like he'll like we'll reschedule.
We can, you know, push the time back, whatever.
He also. Said that if, if I if you were
late by two minutes that that I start calling you asking why are
you late? You're wasting my time.
You didn't. Say that you would call me and
say that I said that that's what you were saying once I got on
and you would. Not 2 minutes.
We do the five minute mark because we.
We do that now. We we have the five minute grace
period now. But I definitely remember there
was an episode where I think it was like AD and D episode and
like everybody was on and I might have been like a couple of
minutes late because I was like running in the house from work
and, and I it was literally like 2 minutes and we, and we got
into it and we got into it over 2 minutes.
No, no, no, it wasn't 2 minutes. It was like 20 minutes, 'cause
you were, you were not only like you were, you were coming from
the grocery store. You had to take your groceries,
you unpack them and then you got on the line.
I said was you can let us know something before you.
We don't. We can call it Aaron there,
right? Now, but I don't remember it
being 20 minutes late. I don't doubt that I was 20
minutes and that I have been 20 minutes late for an episode.
I don't recall this coming from the grocery store putting away
groceries like that it. Was it was 20 minutes late and I
and 'cause you say you were at the grocery store, you said
that. That's how I know.
And yeah, yeah, that's, that's where that came from.
But I have never been like, after 2 minutes, Laurente,
correct me if I'm wrong. I'm gonna be like after 2
minutes. Why aren't you like, you're
wasting my time. This is absurd.
I could be doing other things right now. 2 minutes, No 5 to
10. Oh yeah, 5 to 10, of course.
I, I remember was, I Remember Me and Jared getting into it over
me being 2 minutes late one time and I was like, yo, Jared, it's
2 fucking minutes. What are we?
What are we arguing about? He was having a bad day.
You know how that goes. Speaking of having a bad day,
let me just do a little sidebar, man.
One of my servers, she, she had a move.
So she's such a asshole. She's funny.
She was like, I was having a bad day and I was kind of chirping
at her and she was just like, yeah, just chirping.
Just I can't say chirping like they chirping.
Just OK. Yeah, she was just going back
and forth and I was just like, she was just like, how did she
say she was like, alright Lorante, I'm on my period today.
What's your excuse? I was like, I was like, girl,
you know what? Get the fuck out my face.
Get the fuck out of my face. Get the fuck out of my face,
'cause I, I, I, I'll just be tripping over a little shit,
'cause that's how, that's how the job is.
She's got to trip over a little shit and she's like, man, I got
a reason to be be complaining about nothing.
What are you doing? Come on.
So. But y'all, y'all in a better
place now? Yeah, Yeah.
Oh. Yeah, of course, we actually go
back and forth all the time. But I think that's the rather
relationship that we have on this market that has been
extended at its end, expunged to this to greatness on this
podcast. Like we always go back and forth
but I will always love the market like of the little
brother that won't invite me to this wedding because because he
doesn't want me to sweat. He doesn't appreciate me the
same way I appreciate. Him He has to get married first
or get engaged. Let's start there.
I mean, I mean, but the plan is there.
He said that he will not plan for me to be in his wedding.
Because you'll be in the building, you'll be in the
building.
And I'm not accepting that. That's my heart.
Limit you're not slide force, so.
I don't care nothing about that fake fake organization slide
for. No.
No, no, I'm not slowing my role. That was Anton.
Anton Slime was the last real live cross live force.
If you want to be for real, y'all cross live force in two
weeks and it was not the real process.
Y'all did not say I mean my and y'all were having people who
were sitting down on stools the whole time.
So no, your line, your line was not.
It doesn't matter if that was your line or not.
It has and then y'all continued on on on that path.
So if you want to talk about Star Force, talk about how it's
not for real. I am for real RDO.
We're off the track. We went off the tracks, we went
off the tracks. You're right, I was talking
about the player Player podcast. Something else that you said
was, and we kind of talked about it earlier how your girlfriend
knows it like Co-op and you were going into some of your
frustrations even more on the Player Player podcast.
And what my question is, if you're frustrated playing with
her, 'cause I, I didn't really get like, you're frustrated
playing with her, but you still do it.
So like, why are you still? I feel like you you summarize
and paraphrase in ways where the the the details and new ones of
my statements is lost. I mean you can explain further
if. I'm yeah, yeah, that's what I'm
doing. I didn't say that she does not
like Co-op games. I said that she's not, you know,
a gamer. And so some games are easier for
her to approach than others. And the example I gave was Haven
was definitely easier for her to approach and get into because
it's slower paced. It's like there's a lot of
exploration. There is some combat, but the
even the combat is like slower paced where you really have time
to like kind of think about what you're doing and the buttons
you're pressing, where it's something more more fast,
something more fast-paced. Like split fiction she struggles
with because there's not you don't you don't have that time
to like look at the controller, decide whether to like things
are happening right now. You got to shoot, jump and turn
the camera all at the same time. I mean I got that but what I
didn't get is why do you keep having these experiences that
both y'all are really good at or liking so.
Much. No, we do.
I mean, so like when we play Haven together, we had a great
experience, both of us really. I really like playing Haven with
her. I like the game Haven.
And that's the one where you're on Mars or something.
Yeah, you're like on a distant planet, something you got to
like. Like, and I remember you talking
about that one a lot. Yeah, I don't remember you
talking about It Takes 2. Is that because you were
frustrated? We never played It Takes 2.
No, not it takes 2. What's?
The other split fiction we have played, I have talked about us
playing split fiction and you know, we have fun together.
I enjoy it and I think I enjoyed that one very differently
because I enjoy watching her struggle to play that game.
OK, so you enjoy watching her fail?
I enjoy no that fail because she she succeeds every time.
It just takes a. Video game.
It's a video game. I enjoy watching her grow.
OK. I enjoy watching her overcome
these challenges. Because if there's something I
have more experience in it, you were just getting your
experience in that thing. If you are doing good, I might
take enjoyment over watching you fail at it you.
Know you have. You actually have I, I remember
that. It's been a couple times I've
seen you, Jared, laugh at Demarcus's failures, but we're
not going to talk about those, are we?
I mean, we can. We talked about the failures of
sloth force after the entire process.
Hey, hey. All right, All right, Hold on.
They're OK. You get that call?
They're going to be outside those black trucks.
But but yeah, no, no, I was just missing.
I was like, so why is he still do it if he 'cause it, it
sounded like you did like to do it.
But now, now I'm just getting clear.
All right, Lorante, chat with me.
You are a founder of this podcast.
Hold on, I'm on here. Speaking of founder, I took the
time out to actually get the Black Geek Black Geek Energy
phrase copyrighted, so I actually own it.
So every time y'all use it, y'all actually have been so
y'all a little late on a couple of payments?
No, no. So your your company consume my
company and we can Bally out in court because I have propriety
ownership of that my people call.
Your people. Yeah, please.
Do and I have, I have Jewish lawyers, OK, I'm sorry.
We we don't discriminate and I don't know what.
Kind that's the problem. Stuff you're on.
That's the problem. Oh all right, so my camera is
not working right now but can y'all hear me good enough?
Sly Force heard you talking about him.
Good, I wanted him to, but as I try to fix my camera Laurente as
we wind down this episode as a fire this episode, we like to
ask all of our guests 17 fun, interesting questions.
Ready for our quick fire question.
Let's go just to see if we are if if we are update on
everything. So quick fire question, here we
go. First question, Laurent, say
who? What superpower would you have
if you could have a superpower? Unlimited erections No, no, no,
no. Flight, Flight, Flight.
Flight, Flight. You know what?
That's not a bad, that's not a bad superpower.
That is, wait, wait, pause, pause.
Or is something wrong with y'all's erections?
No, no, no, unlimited. You don't hear that part.
Unlimited Can't stop, won't stop.
But no, I choose flight. I choose flight.
I mean, there's nothing wrong, the retire dysfunction is
saying. Oh no, they say we, we, we
pretty strong over here. OK, I'll just be facetious as I
as I usually do. This is centipede on this guy
thing. How do you feel about Kanye's
apology? Unfortunately, the Music Hat was
great at one point I got I got to admit when I see a mental
health issues that that is a serious thing.
So, you know, I hope he gets the help he needs, but unfortunately
he he a little too far gone because it's like, you know,
people, you do stuff for shock value, you know, and you when
you sit a mile away. So it's a little too late.
Big dog, you made a song called how Hitler.
You got the streamer singing and stuff and you're really
corrupting, corrupting the generation to whereas they're
like, oh, stuff wasn't like the generation, like each generation
knows less and less of what came before them.
So they're thinking, oh, the Holocaust wasn't that bad or
slavery wasn't that bad or slavery is the choice.
And they they could have did this and they should have did
that. And I'm like, OK, yeah, it's
easy to say that right here in 2026 or 2016 whenever he said
that shit. But you know, for 400 years, 500
years, slavery was the thing. So you can't just that's just,
you know, like telling a musician like, yo, don't go sign
the record deal, just do shit on your own.
It's like, yeah, you can, but *** that's the system they in.
Like, what are we talking about? So unfortunately, you know, I
like some of the early records, but too far going, sure.
The baby, do you still listen or not?
So even with the baby, I never really did like he had the like
the the club records, the party records.
I, I knew him. I'm not going to lie, he had a
run undeniable. I never really was a big baby
fan. So for me, whenever you, you,
you attack a group unprovoked, like unprovoked, like I see if
the like a certain set of people came after him and he's
retaliated. But you just like the video I
saw was like, shut up. Saw the fine women in here.
Yeah, shut out to. If you ain't a *** you ain't
sucking Dick in a car, *** What are you talking about?
Why did you even? He said if you're not getting
aids by sucking Dicks in cars. Okay, right, even worse, right
I'm. Just like, even worse even.
Worse. What are you talking about?
Like that's only thing I like about homophobia.
It's like when it's like because it rarely do gay people like
just go out their way to pick on somebody.
But like now some of y'all are some meetings.
Now let's let's not do that. Now some of y'all are some
meetings. We definitely have main girl
energy, but we're not going to attack a whole entire group.
Correct, correct, correct. So that's that's the only thing.
So the baby unfortunately, I mean I don't know the *** so
shit. And then another thing, of
course, was that he did side with Toy on the whole Megan the
Stallion. Thing so and right, so that's
what I'm saying his career was at that point, his career was
already kind of struggling, if that makes sense, and so he was
doing that thing like, well, shit, I hit it too me and Meg.
I used to hit Meg too. To me, that's kind of lame as a
man, like when a woman gives you her body, that's that's just for
you and her. The world doesn't need to know.
And if you did, y'all could have came out.
You could have came out two years ago.
Not when your career is kind of on the the down tick per SE.
So that that's you. To me, that was kind of lame.
Like bro, come on now. Yeah, but the mark?
That's like me talk like we're in 2026.
I'll talk about somebody I used to mess with in 2018.
Yeah. Like, bro, that was how long ago
she she got a whole number. Like she's a whole another woman
at this point. Like, come on.
The market still listened to him proudly.
So I mean how the new album sound?
I haven't listened to it. That's exactly it's been out
three weeks, 4 weeks. No, he said.
He said he'd listen to it on the Player Player Podcast.
I listen to the baby. I do still listen to the baby.
Let me see if I have. I know I like downloaded a new
album or like saved it on my thing but.
So the homophobia and. Oh, I did listen to it one song.
I like one song on there, the pop that time.
So the homophobia. Doesn't bother.
You the comments about women don't bother you.
That's just. Homophobia and derogatory
statements about women are prevalent in all of rap.
So do you want me to stop listening to all rap music?
No, I mean his comments specifically when he
specifically targeted gay people.
I'm not in a song, but in his statements to hit that audience
at that festival. You do not think that that is
enough for you to stop listening to his music?
Nope. OK, cool, now I know that about
you, Lorante. Is Avatar a good Avatar?
Avatar Korra a good. Avatar.
How do I say that? Avatar, Good Avatar.
Is she a good avatar? I think she was good for her
time. She she had, she, she went
through a lot like it's just like with presidents.
They get the hand they're dealt. Granted, we want to see them do
more different, but hey, it is what it is.
She did what she had to do. She opened the spirit world.
She didn't reconnect the spirit. She brought the air nation back
kinda, you know, so. And she like bad bitches.
I like bad bitches, so so. It's Batman is super filling.
Batman. Batman is a white privilege and
it's at its finest. Honestly.
That's, that's really what that is.
He's so bored. Instead of running for like
president or something, like fucking let's just go beat these
guys up. OK, let's see, is Batman super
valid? Oops, I lost my place.
Werewolf or vampire? I'm gonna have to go.
I got a question, don't judge me.
Are werewolves immortal as well? Yes.
Oh God, go werewolf. As long as they are immortal,
living single or Martin. I'm gonna live in a single.
Martin was dope. Now don't get it twisted by I
just like the dynamic called Living Single.
Just a couple more storylines. Yeah, those women were great,
like Kendrick Lamar or Drake. So now that's a tough one.
It's kind of like, yo, I know when I win, when I lose, you
know, sometimes we don't like all the winners.
Sometimes we like the losers. It's still one thing I'm waiting
on to come out about the, the child, you know, the, the a
minor stuff, the messing with the kids stuff.
I'm waiting on that to come out. That's going to solidify which
side I'm on for real. You know what I mean?
Cuz like I, I told you, I went to the GN next tour.
I was out there singing all the lyrics, but.
You're still, but you're. Still, I fucked with Drake.
I fucked with Drake. He definitely lost that battle
terribly. But like I said, some shit come
out here fucking with kids. Oh yeah, you're out of here.
Get the fuck out of here. What is a kid show from your
time that you will let your kids watch?
What won't I let him watch? Shaolin Showdown Mucha Libre, of
course. The Pokémon series.
First and second season Digimon all four First four or five
seasons. Dragon Tales.
Arthur Roly, Poly, Oly. That's PBS, which is no more.
Yeah, yeah. They better get on soon.
Yeah, OK. When will you let your kids have
a cell phone or. IPad so my daughter had she had
her first one in like dumb young, dumb young like she had
an iPad the whole time like it even if it wasn't hers, she had
her mom tablet since like 4 and she had her first phone probably
5th grade. It was like like if, if they
were like an iPhone 8, she had like an iPhone 4, you know what
I mean? So it wasn't, yeah, it wasn't
like the newest. It was an iPhone, but it was
like, yeah, it was on iPhone like 8 or 10, whatever.
You know she was always 3 or 4 iPhones behind.
OK. So you're going to continue that
with your other? Kids.
No. Well, yeah, yeah, definitely no.
My other one, she probably ain't gonna get nothing because her
mom is real. Like she grew up super
religious. Like, I don't know if you heard
the show. You heard the show, K Pop Demon
Hunter, right? Uh huh, she won't even let her
watch that shit just because it has demon in the title.
And I was like, God, I was like, did you watch the movie?
Because it was one of those things.
She came over to my house knowing the words and shit and I
didn't she's like, you put her on.
I was like, no, she came over here knowing this shit.
So I just you watch it, you watch it, we watch it So and I I
got around to watch it. It's really a good it's really a
good one. And I feel like, you know, every
generation has their whatever movie.
Maybe you know, at one point it was frozen.
You can go nowhere without hearing hearing the frozen.
So so K pop is just their thing right now, right?
And it's going to change in, you know, four or five years.
So but not her mom. She does.
She doesn't play radio so. That is not choice.

and get all of Hollywood. No, Timothy really he I mean, he
really bodied that role. Zendaya.
Zendaya bodied that role. I'm tell bro, I June 2, June 1

been watching since like first grade, which is probably Family
Guy. I was way too young, like
looking back, way too young because the slot, the time slot.
Family Guy used to, I don't know if it still comes on because we
don't have cable, but it was like that 9:00, nine, 9:00 and
9:30, like right after The Simpsons.
I man, I used to love Family Guy bro.
I still, you know, this is still a good show, but you know, we
were young watching something not supposed to be watching
sneaking and shit. It's nothing better than that,

Oh man, it's a couple of them. Of course, my *** Edward Ulrich,
Edward Ulrich, I was wanted to do from I was.
I was wondering something from Full Metal.
I always wanted to, just never really.
Would you do the metal arm or would you?
Just be exactly I want to. I don't know how because I've
seen a lot of dope ones, but I would definitely love.
I know it's like expensive to take a long ass time, but I
would love to have the metal arm Mace Windu.
I thought that's a pretty easy one.
That's. Easy to do that one.
You know what I mean? I mean static.
Static would be cool, but I'm not pressed on static.
Who else? Who else is a good one?
I say because I I've seen someone somewhere I got to find
it's going to pop on a timeline after we get off.
But yeah, that that I'll stick with Mace win do for right now.
Nice, nice. One of the cosplays that I want
to do, and I will only want to do it if I could do it well, is
a Pimp Man, A pimp named Iron Man if y'all have seen that
costume. Hold on I gotta help do my
googles. Hold on your brother cause how
does he do that? Has he had a hat too?
No, I don't think no. No hat.
OK, hold on.
Why you look that up? Iron Man, you see.
It. Yes.
We had somebody call us the N word on Twitch.
Wow. I know we're, we're, we're,
we're, we're getting up there. OK, so.
Party R. They said *** Oh no, we could.
I guess the auto mods or whatever.
Anyways, oh who is your favorite rapper turned actor?
Favorite rapper turned actor is still one of my top top five
black actors. Really, really, when I say black
actors, I really just say all actors.
But Will Smith for sure. Will Smith.
Will Smith even when he smacked that man.
And I love Chris Rock. I love Chris Rock.
I love all my black entertainers.
But even when he smacked them, I'm like, hey, man, he should
have been talking shit. Like what are we talking about?
You talk shit about a man wife. He smacked it.
That's it. That's all.
OK, it happened. It happened.
So yeah, Will Smith because how he, OK, you know, he did the hip
hop stuff and then he went into TV.
He's like, OK, I really want to be taken seriously as an actor.
And I thought he really put the work in with what was that first
hope he did? Was it 6° of separation?
Right. So when he did that kind of role
and he did like he did like one more serious role before he went
to the big major action movies and shit.
Like like him and Mark Wahlberg are kind of similar into where I
asked like, hey, I want to be taken seriously.
Let me do some more serious roles before I do the action.
Shit. Yeah.
Will Smith for sure. Will Smith, man, that's one.
That's one of the people. Like, if I meet him in real
life, I ain't going to be fanned out.
But like, I was like, oh, OK. Yo, hey.
My childhood, my adulthood. Like, bro, you've been here my
whole life. I know you'll know me respect.
You know what I mean? So Will Smith for sure.
I thought, Drake, I'll go ahead. No.
You go ahead. Yeah, I thought Drake was going
to go back into acting, but this, this little beef that
fucked him up, he can't move out.
He want to move them out. Oh, Oh, yeah, yeah.
The grass. I just saw him.
I just saw him acting on he did a guest starring role on this
Canadian show that's really good.
So not he was really good, but the.
Show the show? What show?
It's called the Office Movers. I got a look at 2.
I ain't know about it. Yeah, it's on Crave.
And finally, Laronte, in your opinion, who is the best dad on
TV? The best dad damn on TV too
though. Not movies, TV.
OK, movies you got I'll. Say the best dad in media.
That when Denzel was the dad and fences, I'm just playing.
What? He was terrible, he was
terrible, he was terrible. I'm just playing.
I'll say because I don't know if
y'all watch Bel Air. I watch a little bit of Bel Air
Fresh Prince reboot, but I'll say Uncle Phil both times
because even like the older one was cool with James Avery, Rest
in peace. He was a great guy.
The new one, because it's like in 2026 or five, whenever that
shit was shot. It's so much bullshit going on
now, so many distractions. Like he has did his part in
raising these prominent kids and prominent prominence and he he
still keeps him humble. He still like his understanding,
like Carlson deal with addiction.
He's like, hey, man, I get I pressure, I pressure you a lot,
but I I still love you. I want I want to see you out on
the other side. Like and his daughter Hillary,
she moved out, went into the content house.
They was trying to sexualize her.
He was like, hey, man, you can be your own kind of woman.
You don't have to succumb to sex sales, even though it does, but
you can still be your own kind of woman.
So that that's just a dope. I really like how he spun his
character in Bel Air. I still gotta watch this fine
