SPEAKER_01 1:45

Quick rest of the look. Y'all look at me. I'm struggling.

SPEAKER_03 1:55

Y'all struggling right now. There's no way in the book.

SPEAKER_02 1:58

Yeah, man. Yeah, man. So uh yeah, man.

SPEAKER_03 2:02

All right.

SPEAKER_02 2:02

Yeah, bro. Relax. Relax.

SPEAKER_03 2:04

I gotta get closer. Relax. It's gotta be like like the V, like.

SPEAKER_02 2:07

Yeah, the V. Y'all gotta be further back. Y'all sit back.

SPEAKER_03 2:10

All right.

SPEAKER_02 2:11

And we'll sit up. Same with us. All right. So Welcome to Helicopter Club Podcast. There we go. Yeah. Hey man. So uh season four. Season four. Yes, yes. We appreciate you hosting us this season and last season. You're such a gracious host. You don't beat us up. You never told us that we're trash. I guess if we were you'd have said something, we probably wouldn't be here. It's a little bit of trash. I like the honesty. You gotta have a little bit of trash, little trash juice in there. And um, you take really good care of us if we if we need anything, you make free space. Oh y'all, y'all get that joke lady. You'll get that joke lady, you'll get it later. But um, yeah, man, we just wanted to do a quick recap. Season four. Season four. We have made it past season. Look, I was wondering how far we're gonna make it past season one and a half. A lot of growth this season. Yeah, a lot of growth this season.

SPEAKER_00 3:06

Where do y'all think we've grown?

SPEAKER_02 3:08

Delegation. Yeah, delegation.

SPEAKER_03 3:13

Yeah, you say that now. I feel like y'all two do it like 90% of everything. Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_02 3:20

Delegating waiting delegating. Because we're we're trying to delegate. Yeah, because we're slowly, because the cool thing is we're slowly starting to pick things up. We get the train is starting to move forward. So I know going in the next thing we'd be faster. You know what I mean? Sure. It's just like understand. Well, I know my thing is fear of not messing up something that's already said. Because we're raised to do what? If you touch something, you leave it better than it was. Oh so I don't want to go in there and touch his stuff and then make it look whack. Uncle Ronnie, Uncle Ronnie called us that. See, yeah, so you see, I have these uh anxieties there. So I know I never wanted to touch certain things because he's my older brother, too. So I'm like, I can't mess up. I can't mess up. Yeah, you see what I'm saying? That's why I was having anxiety. I'm not pushing that button.

SPEAKER_00 4:04

I'll just mess up and then I'll be like, Kev, I messed up. He'd be like I know you do. He'd be like, he'll just laugh and be like, Yeah, if you would have just waited, you'd like to go.

SPEAKER_03 4:10

Yeah, we could have had it right. We could have had it right in the get-go. See, I'm IT, I'm like, get to the next screen and then I'll fix it if I fuck it up.

SPEAKER_01 4:19

Yep. I know for me, man, I think the biggest thing for me was let go of certain stuff. Yeah. And it's helped me out a whole lot more. Because sometimes you gotta, because delegation leads to more efficiency. Yes. And I realized I was getting bogged down a lot. Yeah. So this shit goes. You take it to not worry about it. And then too, man, it's like also you also sometimes you just gotta just be deliberate and let people know, like, oh, this is as much your thing as anybody else's. And I know I do that, I had to do that to buy a whole bunch at the end of the season. I was like, yeah. This podcast is just as much as mine as it is. Everybody else.

SPEAKER_03 4:54

You are empowered to make decisions because it's your shit.

SPEAKER_01 4:58

Bring your stuff. Yeah, like oh, that is right.

SPEAKER_02 5:01

I can't believe it. It's your thing.

SPEAKER_01 5:03

So I guess what I'm saying, and I think that's the beautiful part about it, man. We've been doing this now, this this ever before season. And I think the reason why it works is because so much of what we've done before, before we even came together, it was always a support of others, serving others in in their creative endeavors. But I think this is like the first thing that we've all done. Where it's like, oh man, I'm a weird people who just like being in the same position. I think that's what makes it kind of dope.

SPEAKER_00 5:27

And we can handle each position that we're doing. So like sometimes we'll rotate, but we still do our own thing.

SPEAKER_02 5:33

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody still is on their own wavelength. We haven't knocked that stuff off, which is cool because it's still unique people, you know what I mean? We don't like this work one weird, amorphous fly of creativity.

SPEAKER_03 5:45

Right, yeah, it's not just merge where everybody's got all the same viewpoint. That happens sometimes in little creative clicks and things, you know.

SPEAKER_02 5:52

You become one person, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 5:54

I think it's because we all just kind of like do all this other shit and then and then come back together for this. And say, all right, so what did you see out there in the world? What did you bring back? Bring it out.

SPEAKER_02 6:02

Bring it back in. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:03

You went to a conference? Oh, you see what you do.

SPEAKER_02 6:05

Oh, yeah. Because yeah, we have a text, a group text, and then we said like interesting group text is like about things that people are doing during the day, um, which is dope. Because it's cool to see what your other folks are doing. So, okay, so get me motivated. I gotta do something, I can't be lazy. Yeah, right? It makes you want to move. Um, even if you're not having a good week, it's cool to have that camaraderie within the team. So you know you got other people to fall back onto outside of your normal groups and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_04 6:32

What do we got?

SPEAKER_03 6:33

Oh, and push chord on there and hit record. We got the one going? This is what happens. BTS.

SPEAKER_02 6:39

Yeah, this one's rolling.

SPEAKER_03 6:40

Yeah, we have season four.

SPEAKER_02 6:42

In this one, hit record. Well, this is exactly I didn't put my hand in front of it, so that's fine. So it's just you know, yeah, yeah, we've had it, we've had it. So yeah, yeah, that's our record, right? Yeah, that one's recording. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, you know, it's always gonna happen. You know what's really cool stuff? Always learning experiences. I I I stopped. I stopped. I think this is one of my big improvements. I haven't missed the record button. In a minute.

SPEAKER_00 7:09

In a minute. Wait, no, we forgot it last time we were here when we did Leanne's Calvin's work.

SPEAKER_02 7:19

You know why? Because Tomai put the fear of God in the meeting. The fear of God. My mom talking about it. Yeah, I'm like, nah, I'm not that enough. So now I'm always at the end. Y'all don't realize she mean to me. Y'all she called me the other day and the answer. I was afraid.

SPEAKER_00 7:35

Yeah, I'm just on the way up there. I almost want to be the way. Hold on, and I was like, I was like, never answer my call. I'm never calling her. Text me first. Text me first, text me first.

SPEAKER_02 7:48

Okay, I'm gonna go text me first. I'm scared of my answer phone.

SPEAKER_01 7:55

Yeah, I'll answer the phone. I don't give a fuck. I'm calling back.

SPEAKER_02 8:02

Text me first, let me know what I gotta talk about, give me a call, then I'm gonna let me get into the call. If not, you come to my house. Two hours. Oh, you're not a phone. Oh, heck no, not on the phone. I don't do that phone. Yeah, they drop it. Yeah, come on. And I'm like, come on in the house. Yeah, chill. We can do some coloring stuff. Oh, I got your address. I ain't got your address.

SPEAKER_03 8:26

We we used to do that shit back in the day. Miller shut that shit down too hard.

SPEAKER_01 8:32

Man, that's a pet peeve. You don't show up with us calling first. That's how I do, that's how I knew we were all adults now. We just couldn't pop up with people's crew. Yeah, it's always popping with mics. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:42

Oh, I remember back when uh when me and Debo and Jason every was in that big house. Yeah, we just walk in front of the door. Hey, what's up, y'all?

SPEAKER_04 8:50

People in the house.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

Like it's just rolling up. That was that was that was a that was a very interesting time.

SPEAKER_02 8:57

You were not adults. He had a call before you. Man, if you're a family, man, just stop at the house. You know what I'm at? If I'm at the house, I'm either cleaning or or chilling. I'm not gonna be doing nothing crazy at the house. I don't do nothing crazy anymore. I'm real boring. So I'm not gonna be doing, I'm gonna be washing clothes. That's when he came in. I was washing clothes and cleaning up. I had poofed everything in the house. That's why we came out poof, had the windows open, I'm letting the air circulate. I'm an old man. Like when you came, I had the little thing set up. I had my games on. Yeah, I had my games on. I was watching the what's saying, then I put a movie on, have a little thing on. I was just sitting relaxed, have a little stuff. I have all my controller set up. I probably was 55 years old in my head.

SPEAKER_00 9:36

Oh my god. I'm telling you, I'm not like we all relaxed on the weekend.

SPEAKER_02 9:40

Oh Christ.

SPEAKER_01 9:41

What do I do? No, that's yeah, what do y'all do? Of course, you know, my whole thing is I gotta keep Savannah every time. You're right.

SPEAKER_03 9:51

So it does start to get better. They entertain themselves a little bit more.

SPEAKER_01 9:55

She wanted to entertain. You gotta fight. You gotta fight. Yeah, yeah, old man. I feel you though. You know, she I'll say this though. Uh what I figured out is so I usually pretty much set up my weekends. I have like like especially like my Saturdays.

SPEAKER_04 10:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

So my Saturdays are like three uh different shows. Right? So the morning that's like, okay, so what am I gonna do? Because I always like for me to get to relax. It's not really just sitting around doing that. I like to really get out in the community and go check things out. So I'll go to like like you know, we're in Columbia, of course, and I'll go down to Soda City. Oh, people have another event or other things going on. Like I like to go just we'll roll out there and we'll check it out. And then like in the afternoon, like then, so we'll do that till about lunchtime between like 12 and 2. And then it's like, alright, so then that's like the time I put her down for a nap. Yeah, so I know that time well. I know that time well, yeah. So I put her down for a nap, and then also that's when if I need to do like other things, like content-wise, like if we want to jump on to a chat like on a Saturday or something, that's the best. Like that's not sexual. I just go on, that's how I set it up for that. And then for me, late afternoon, that's when I do, like, that's I figure the next thing that I want to do community-wise. Yeah, like usually that's what I'll take. Like if I'm gonna like take a trip out of town to do something, especially if I'm gonna be swinging up here, I'll usually come up here in the evening, like after that nap. Because it's like, okay, cool. I'll go ahead, um, either I'll put her however take nap was round up, or after she wakes up, then we'll just come on up and do do some other stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And that's pretty much it, right? That's good. Like Saturdays is really like my really day like hang out. Sundays, I like to run. Yeah, that's run day. I like to run on Sunday. And then that's it. Just get ready for the week, right? And then y'all be hitting me up and texting me all kinds of stuff.

SPEAKER_00 11:38

We be hitting you okay or you be here. I didn't even wake up or work at Kevin called. I'm like, uh work.

SPEAKER_01 11:50

Like I'm gonna turn up on purpose too.

SPEAKER_02 11:52

Okay, you don't know what to call's about. No, see text before you call.

SPEAKER_01 11:59

I'll start talking stuff, and then I'll be talking to her work, and I'll immediately just jump with the podcast. So just I'm like, yeah, we don't fundamentalize the same way.

SPEAKER_03 12:07

Some of us gotta like like switching gears through some of the mutual. Yeah, I mean that's something I've learned by other people. I don't I I don't do that so much. I try to destroy barriers in myself.

SPEAKER_04 12:23

I'm purging all barriers together, do a ocean or whatever. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 12:29

But I but you probably learn a lot of that from our man from from being married, Lisa. Because Lisa doesn't, she puts everything together. Yeah. Oh, everything.

SPEAKER_00 12:39

Virgo, that's why I'll be trying to tell him. I'll be like, yeah, I need three separate sheets of paper. Virgo, too. But I'll be like, Kev, that's why I had to schedule that meeting last Saturday. I was like, mm-mm. I need to understand which project is this for, what's this for, and what's this for? I can't merge everything together.

SPEAKER_03 12:56

No. Well, yeah, I mean, that's that's something that I don't think we've talked about it on this show. But like, you know, especially if you've got multiple compartments going on, you got a day job, a side project, a hustle, a side gig, kids, church programs, right now, you got all this shit going on, right? It all being together gets difficult. And uh confusing. So one of the things that somebody taught me like a while back, and I don't use it heavily, but y'all, y'all, y'all heard of memory palaces, right? Yeah, like Sherlock Holmes, you know, and you close your eyes, you go into your house and you walk into this room, and this is in this room. Yeah, so that's like the big version of it. You can do a city too. You can do a city with your chakras, you close your eyes, you have an island, and each each one is a different city, and you know, so you can travel through your body.

SPEAKER_04 13:45

Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_03 13:46

Yeah. But a very simple one is just when you get ready to switch gears, there's a little magic light drawer that you can just open up and put hilltop glove there and put your day job right here. And you just kind of do that for a second by yourself. And if you do it every time, it's like uh it just kind of introduces your brain to the idea that this is gone and this is here. I agree.

SPEAKER_02 14:15

I know that works.

SPEAKER_03 14:16

Yeah, it's a ritual. I'm gonna try it.

SPEAKER_02 14:18

It's a ritual, it's tantric. Yeah. Well, that's for real. Because they have this um this idea of like creating concept, like some why has you been listening to this podcast about people talking about magic and ritual? This is why it's so funny you're talking about because they're talking about this this week. They're talking about consecrating things and creating specific, like to give something power or to make sure that you're putting proper influence on it. You only use it for specific things. Yes. And so with your mind, what you do, like say, Carpenter Little. So this time my brain's only thinking about this, and you put the other stuff away. And you do it. So every time you go back to it, your mind you'll automatically switch.

SPEAKER_03 14:50

Well, and we we do this in the physical world. Okay, a stainless steel bedpan can be absolutely sterilized, but I'm not gonna use it as a dinner plate. God damn it, that's right. Right? That'd be nasty, right?

SPEAKER_00 15:00

Yes, technically it wouldn't.

SPEAKER_03 15:03

Cereal bowl, it can hold some chips, right? It might hold some beans and rice. Right. Yeah. Now, if I take one of the kitchen knives and I go out in the yard and start trimming bushes with it, it's gonna be a problem, right?

SPEAKER_04 15:13

Right, your problem.

SPEAKER_03 15:16

Examples are so burger somebody. Now it's just working. You don't want me to bring it back in the kitchen and serve dinner with it now. Even though you can wash the rice off of it just as easily as you can the bush. Yeah, but you don't do those two things, right? So we do that in the physical world, but we don't do it in the mental, in the energetic world, unless you do some kind of a spiritual practice.

SPEAKER_00 15:39

That has me thinking about that movie Inception. Yeah. Have you seen that movie Inception? Yeah, you guys.

SPEAKER_02 15:45

Okay, it's the guest. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's what it is.

SPEAKER_00 15:48

I love that movie. That's like my favorite movie.

SPEAKER_02 15:50

That's what that movie is. You're taking somebody and you putting them in putting them down to the recess. Oh, they're gonna walk around the corner. I think it was a male. Yeah. No, no, no, I wasn't. Oh, is it? Yeah, they've walked around the corner with the baby and everything. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 16:03

My fault, y'all. That's our guests coming in. We're gonna pick up our recap with the same. We forgot to make up here knocking out, they got the child with them too.

SPEAKER_00 16:09

Y'all, they nice and early. Nice and early.

SPEAKER_02 16:11

Because they professionals.

SPEAKER_00 16:12

They know what to do. I mean, so what do y'all think we need to improve?

SPEAKER_02 16:15

Um, improvement is to take. I mean, like, I know I want to just take more off of what y'all doing. I need to pull some more stuff. That's always a big thing. I want to get to the point of balance. I heard this gentleman say this on the radio yesterday. He was talking about, no, is it Thursday, Thursday. He was talking about the fact that in a team, and I don't think we have this problem because we're a really good team in a sense, like, we aren't eating each other like wolves, but for a team, you want to make sure that everybody is gifting as much as they are receiving. Because if you start, if you start any relationship, any relationship, right? Because what that would lead to is now if everybody's not strong at gifting, then you'll have some by some people who are who when the gift is pulled, it falls, or they'll become wolves. And I guess I don't think we're gonna have we don't have that issue of becoming wolves, but that part that you said of it falling is what I'd be afraid of. I don't I want everybody, like Jay-Z said back in Reasonable Doubt days, I want everybody in our crew and clip to be rugged. Because then everybody will be each other's crutches. So if you fall, I got you, so on and so on. There's no weak links, everybody's strong. You don't have to have somebody say goodbye. You know what I'm saying? You don't want to be the weakest link. We don't want anybody to be a weak link. And so, and what I mean is everybody has their specific tools, things that they do well, and that makes you a strong link. If you also pick up other stuff from other folks, so if you don't feel good one day, God forbid you're out, you're sick, or something like that. You don't have to worry about things not being gonna be processed.

SPEAKER_00 17:44

And I think that's our strongest area, to be honest.

SPEAKER_03 17:50

All it takes is half of us and show up. Right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:54

Availability. We go.

SPEAKER_00 17:55

So we that's one thing that we do have over other podcasts. You see what I'm saying? Very true. Um we don't outsource a lot. Four of us, yeah. We don't really outsource for anything.

SPEAKER_03 18:06

No, we partner in the community a lot, but usually we're not like we're not asking them for an element to create we're just seeing like ownership. Hey, owners too. I think that's gonna be town over, but you ain't trying to take their heels.

SPEAKER_02 18:24

Yeah, good point. Unless you're America, and you know what's so crazy.

SPEAKER_00 18:27

I think a lot of people don't know like what we do on the side, like our side of things.

SPEAKER_02 18:32

No, they don't. That's why it's funny when they figure out what it is.

SPEAKER_00 18:35

We got real jobs, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 18:36

We actually work.

SPEAKER_02 18:38

You have a new job this year.

SPEAKER_04 18:39

Tell us about your new job.

SPEAKER_00 18:41

So right now I'm working at the South Carolina Department of Education as an admin, but then I'm also um getting my artwork back in. So um, I just got asked to do a mural, so that's kind of exciting. So I'll be doing that over the summer, but then also doing a boys and girls club, teaching them about podcasting. And they they love it because the same equipment that we're recording on, that's the reuse for the podcast, and we just switch the stickers up and it says kids' gloves. So it helps them feel like oh, they're on the same level as us, because we even showed them our podcast, and they were like, wait, that show, and we were like, Yeah, that's yeah, they're on YouTube if you guys want to check it out. Kids' gloves. Kids' gloves. Yes, it is right, kids' gloves.

SPEAKER_03 19:16

And that's something I don't think we've talked about that on the show yet either, is the stuff that you and Cal Kevin have been developing. Yeah. This basically has a as a curriculum to teach adults and kids podcasting. We've been doing several uh events at the library over the past few years.

SPEAKER_00 19:31

Podcast on one-on-one. Yeah, we have one coming up. Yep.

SPEAKER_03 19:34

That is right, man. Oh, those are fun.

SPEAKER_00 19:36

June 1st, I think. June 1st.

SPEAKER_03 19:37

And then y'all have really parlayed this thing into an actual curriculum that's you know science and technology based and taking voices out and you know, getting getting kids speaking for themselves.

SPEAKER_00 19:48

But what's so cool is like they already talk amongst themselves, and when they get on camera, they're like uh they're like shy. But then when they're doing an interview, they're shy. But when they have like a conversation like how we're having, oh, flow. It's flowing, you know, getting everything out, putting everything on the table. So it's needed in the school.

SPEAKER_02 20:04

So it's I think and it goes back to public speaking. That's it. Communication skills. Yeah, oh yeah. It allows you to be successful because if you know how to, and this is what was so cool. We were talking about in our our last um with our last guest is the ability to be able to communicate your feelings and thoughts. Oh my lord, it can keep you out of trouble, it can keep you from like being doing a bad job with uh yeah, doing a bad job with um dealing with stress. Oh my lord, if you can learn how to communicate properly, you're good all day, every day. You're right, you're right.

SPEAKER_03 20:34

That's part of it too, because it's like, you know, there's a lot of podcasts right now. Yeah, yeah. We're in a transition between their traditional model for funding and creating all of this content that we're all addicted to. Like they can't do it in the studio model anymore. So now we're all doing it. We're all doing a niche in our own little directions. Yeah, so everybody wants to learn a podcast, but there's also gotta be like development in the funding of it. Because you don't like like we ain't we ain't Joe Rogan. No, and all of these people starting podcasts, it will take them a decade or some big seed money to be Joe Rogan.

SPEAKER_00 21:20

Yeah, and what I was uh what I liked about this season are like in the past year that we've been working, we have found a lot of funding and received a lot of grants. And what's so crazy, it's not hard to apply. It's just actually filling out the paperwork and following up with the follow-up. And we want to give it a lot. We have a plus on that because we know how to do videography and photography um and marketing on all levels. So I think we can maybe help people more with that in some of those areas.

SPEAKER_02 21:49

Give service, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:51

Our barner in some type of way because it's easy for us. You see what I'm saying? And people need that, they need the pictures, they need the videography. Um doing surveys and get analytics is easy. You know what I'm saying? Right. We can help guide people, so that's why people should definitely come to the work plus brushness that we need.

SPEAKER_02 22:06

Yes, yeah, great work plus brushes. I'm happy that we're getting to one of those again. I miss those things. It's actually fun, man, because it allows us to get tap into the community and see what's going on with that, what the pulse is, uh, and also things that they might need as well. So that we can know what we may even need to speak about or talk about on our podcast to bringing in guests and finding people that may need to get their um information out, what they do out, get their persona out to the community. And then cool thing is you just have people come and network and they get to know that they exist and that they aren't by themselves. So uh we definitely love to try to fill the house on those if we can.

SPEAKER_03 22:47

And it's not like it's not like I don't know, you go to a lot of networking events and it's clear that like everybody has their project and they're looking for this thing, and they're gonna grip and handshake everybody there until they find, oh, this is the accountant I'm looking for. That's not how to create event. That's business. We really hanging out and just like vibing off of what we're doing.

SPEAKER_00 23:11

We do like workshop type things, don't we? It is, yeah. Yeah, we do both activities and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_02 23:17

Um, I like that you said that. That's really good. So, yeah, and that'll keep people from being afraid. We are not trying to get you into a situation where someone's trying to grip you. Yeah, yeah, we're putting you in front of sharks. That's not what the um trade plus uh create work plus for saying it's not there.

SPEAKER_04 23:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:34

Sharks take. Yeah, seriously, gets lined up.

SPEAKER_03 23:37

We're gonna find something that's cool. Yeah, usually it's talking about how to find money and how to find resources and how to, you know. Artists like to do other mediums. Yeah. So there's I've noticed a lot of that too. It'll be like, you know, somebody who works in paint is talking to somebody that works in video. And so now there's like some new learning going on. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:59

We talk about the arbitrary conversation.

SPEAKER_02 24:01

Oh, yeah. So this is something that's new because just trying to make content. Push, push, push. Because we have a Patreon. And so we really want to push our Patreon. We're trying to get folks to go onto it, get some subscribers, um, so that it can help continuing with the funding of the podcast to make it more profitable, but also make sure that we don't have to come out of our pockets for all things related to it. And um, so recently, Skip and I, we've started doing arbitrary conversations. Arbitrary conversations are chances where the Hilltop Glove, specifically Skip and I, get a chance, they skip back in and get a chance to actually talk about topics that we normally conversate about all the time. Because like, like I said, we're teasing earlier, I'll be avoiding the call button calls sometimes. But when I get on the call, let's get like we may talk for an hour and a half, two hours. Oh, easy. Easy.

SPEAKER_04 24:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:48

And it'll be about something that's going on that week. Other things, not related even to doing the podcast or work or family stuff. Just, hey man, have you seen this such and such? Wasn't that interesting? And so we don't get to have these conversations on a podcast because we are focused on our guests. That's what it's about. About the community. Like I said, we like to serve people, and so it's about serving. So with the arbitrary conversations, we get a chance to actually delve into our minds, how we think. I know we do get to say some things on here so you can understand how we think and some of the crazy things that we may go on in our minds, but arbitrary conversations get more of a chance to do that on um topic matter that is current too. Okay. So for instance, like you will see, we're gonna discuss a documentary that recently came out and effects of what we saw culturally from those occurrences on us, and even our own inklings and experiences with similar things. We had um the first one we actually talked about the um some of the issues with black culture and the recent changes and how music and society are affected by different timelines. Uh, we even got to talk about some of our favorite um entertainers and celebrities as well and their positive or negative effects on culture. Uh so that was cool. So you got to hear from our side what's going on when we're thinking about these things. And it's cool because, of course, my brother, he is um, he has a child, he's married, and I'm married. Don't have children yet working on that. But I think it's cool because practicing. That's what it is. We gotta keep practicing. Because what I what I think what's cool is that nah, I'm talking look, man. I'll be honest, man. Y'all know I can't. I'm working on having a filter. I don't be having no filter. I'm wild. Yeah, I'm pretty good. Yeah, man. You're right, you're right. And um, and so we like to show people these brotherly conversations because we love each other, like we're brothers, we're happy, we're singing, we're colored.

SPEAKER_01 26:42

It's a hunger's a high five, high five. Oh, it's high five. Yeah, see it in the wild.

SPEAKER_02 26:48

Oh my god, brother. Nah, because here's the thing. We always we we shared, we we shared a room, we shared a dorm room to get for a long time. So like we were literally, I was like Marlon and was Wayne, we were like Wayne's brothers, seriously. No lie. Marlon's young, yeah. Should be at Marlon, yeah. Yep, showing the Marlin. And so um, one of the things is people don't realize that, yeah, we have pretty interesting tapes on things. No, okay, yeah, experiences culturally. So we want people to see that. Get them some under um understanding about personalities. Always, here's what's crazy. You all are always invited to come in on this conversation. Okay, I was on insert myself. But the thing is, we won't force you to. Okay, it's just because we're crazy. Yeah, it's options. This isn't chaos, this is another chaos, this is not candy, yeah. This is Avengers, you know, future wars. Like, this is our side, right? There you go, world 6,000 2900.

SPEAKER_00 27:39

Y'all want other guests too? Like other people on the side of it, you ready?

SPEAKER_02 27:43

At the moment, no, I just want us okay at the moment because people really don't get to see what we're thinking. Well, we'll once we have it developed, we'll probably we could start bringing in other people for it, but for right now it's just us because we talk to everybody.

SPEAKER_01 27:55

Yeah, it's cool, like it's firm. Like, so this weekend what we're doing is we're actually talking about free days. Yes. So that's one. Um when we just the documentary just came out. Why don't you just drop this on Patreon? We're talking about um the NBA. Yeah, yeah. Because you know there's been a big deal now about 90, like, you know, getting ready to get 90s basketball players. First modern day. And so we're talking about mean. In particular, we talk about Charles Oakley, and why you can't find no Charles Oakley highlights that you find are just inviting people. Literally. Like, so so we talk about that, and then of course, obviously, first we talk about with dog with just like the musical trends and stuff.

SPEAKER_04 28:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:32

And just how like music and how things kind of cycle if you think about it, like every five years. And it's like really to capitalize on like any time in order to be able to capitalize or really setting yourself up to have a good run, you really gotta be on the time of that cusp. Yeah, or is that time of transition or what they call refer to as aluminum space? Because you know, aluminum space is like a space that's blank, doesn't have nothing in it, it's like nothing, you know. So we kind of put a little bit of a.

SPEAKER_02 28:55

What was it called? What was the episode? It's called alumnal spaces and Cheeto Dust. Yeah. Yeah, I saw that. I saw the Cheeto Dust.

SPEAKER_00 29:01

I'm fighting.

SPEAKER_02 29:02

Oh, yeah, that's what it is.

SPEAKER_03 29:03

If you if you yeah, if you listen to it, you'll see what Cheeto Dust is sprinkling Cheeto Dust around it makes it.

SPEAKER_00 29:08

I do like the names of the episode. I can say that this season, I like the names of the episode, yeah. Especially the Calabasas one. Yeah, that's dope. That's dope. And then Laddie's uh with the leather.

SPEAKER_01 29:18

Oh yeah, Tuscan Leather. Yeah, Tuscan Leather, yeah. That's dope. But you know, it's always the cars that had that, it has to have that hip hop cultural theme to it. Yes, the whole point. But it started. So like anything like any I guess comes like anytime we've been guests on, like that's the first thing to always think about is like what's the song that we're that you know that would closely align or associate with the you know, that's an interesting take too, because I don't know if anybody remembers, but when we first started doing episodes, it was like life versus business, home versus it's always verses, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 29:50

And then you know, when you really start looking at that's not our conversations, there ain't there ain't no no two sides of the dichotomy.

SPEAKER_00 29:58

None of that.

SPEAKER_02 29:59

None of that. It's it's a it's a dialogue, you know.

SPEAKER_01 30:02

So now it's it's more witty and it's it's you know the puns. Yeah, say it is hip hop a jace. Because it's not like a you know, it's not like a music part of it. But of course, a lot of what we're influenced by is the culture itself. Yeah, so a lot of our conversation is going to be encapsulated within that.

SPEAKER_02 30:19

So we'd be we'd be remiss not not to say that that's what it is, you know. We'd be plain ourselves, yeah. So um it's about that time, y'all. We talked long enough.

SPEAKER_01 30:30

We had a couple of um hiccups, per usual, but it's fine because it's our little special episode. We can do that, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 30:38

Yeah, I forgot to hit you everything. Yeah, we can do that, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:40
