And my sister not even the room.

I can't even compliment the bitch room.

Damn you do do something, I'll be watching. I'd be mad because I'll be watching his fucking ship. And I'm like, bro, everything is so neatly arranged.

No disclosure, We do not do corporal in the Okaya household. Usually what getting in trouble means is like you gotta uh. It's hard, man, it's hard to punish kids now because they just fucking like everything. Like Griffin, like, I'm not yeo, Griffin, you gotta help me with these dishes.

Oh my god, three hours. It's like, yo, it's insane. Like ow, we all had that experience. Like we're all Dominican, right, but whenever we got in trouble, we became Vietnamese po ws.

We became prisoners of war. Kneeling on rice is crazy, bro.

I like to call it just the po W.

Mean, I didn't even put that.

Got some some tough punishments, same.

Bro, Like I feel like I feel like I got the grip strength and the arm strength that I have today.

You got the.

Hey, grippy closer. You know, nothing will have you ready to pitch a nine innings then holding two big ass bibles while kneeling on rice.

You know what I'm saying, insane.

That's why that's why we got the best baseball players, you know what I'm saying. Enough, And but the trying to make is that you game and you do it for real. And I've sat in your streams and well watch you play through the last of us. It's very entertaining. By the way, if you don't follow her sports on twitch, please go over there and twitch dot tv Slash First Boys Okay, Megabock watch that and I was like, Oh, this thing is really into this shit. He fucks with this, like this is entertaining to him, Like he's doing this and he's not. I don't want to say like taking a mask seriously, but like clearly, like, bro, you're into this to win it, right, and it's that and it's for you. Yeah, it's for you.

Yeah. I'm not streaming like for the uninitiated, because you know Meryl already Meryl already, you know what I'm saying. He already aliuped his so I guess I better dunk the plug. I'm not playing Call of Duty. I'm not playing fucking Overwatch. I'm not playing God there, Valerie. I'm not playing Valerie. I'm not playing you know what I'm saying. I'm not playing two K Bro. I'm playing fucking The Last of Us and Death Strainding. Okay, bro, I'm playing with the funk. I want to play.

You know, if you want to watch this get killed by Dragon a hundred times, tune the fuck you know what, because he's doing it for him, and that is important when you write you doing it for you. We're not fucking jerk off I'm doing it for me. You know what I'm saying. Listen, And it's not individualism. It's just like, yo, I'm doing this. I accomplish this for myself. I feel a sense of accomplishment. This is not for the world. This is not to flex on you. I'm not gonna come in here and be like Yo. Guess how many times I know it last night. Listen. You know what I'm saying. You feel me. You're not gonna come in and be like, Yo, I killed the fucking sorceress. Bro. You know what I'm saying. You're not about to come in and be like, Yo, I just dropped two bang of books last night, pussy, what'd you do? You know what I'm saying, Because we're doing it for ourselves. You know it's not doing it for himself. Fucking elon, bitch ass musk who pretended to be the top five player of an RPG who I the name of which is escaping me right now. Diablo the Diablo, Yeah, our top five player of Diablo. Listen if y'all don't know about Diablo. Diablo is a role player RPG, A role playing game that you really have to invest a lot of time. Yeah, you're right.

So I don't watch I don't I don't watch anyone stream Diablo. I don't really play it myself. But essentially, you don't really need to to know that Elon is a fraud because if you play or do anything long enough to get good at it, there's a culture around that. So essentially the way that Elon Musk has been sort of discovered as a fraud is that Elon Musk's apparent rank is in like the top ten in the whole world, the world. But you don't get there by doing the things that Elon does or not doing the things that Elon doesn't do. For example, Elon and I put this in quotes, Elon will clear a room, pick up the most useless shit, and leave the items that anybody in that top ten would know to pick up. So it's these you know what I'm saying. So yeah, So it's these cultural subtleties that are dead giveaways to actual Diablo players that are like, yo, why would you leave that? That's that's a like everybody knows that you pick this up when you clear this room. And then he's and uh, like I think it even got to a point where like he was allegedly streaming, and I think it was him because he didn't know how to navigate maps, Like he just kept clicking on the same spot, like.

Over and over on some ship that's like great out like with those and like your man was just there like.

So like now the other streamers are like watching him stream and being like, yo, my man, Like why would you not? Like it's the equivalent of like, yo, if somebody falls down in the street and they drop a quarter, but they also drop a fucking rash stack of hunteds and you pick up the quarter and you're like, oh, I don't need this, that's paper. I need metal, you know what I'm saying, Like that's the type of shit he was doing. So everybody else just like dunking on his ask and it's like, bro, who are you doing First of all, this is my question, who are you doing this for? Yeah?

Other men?

Ah, which supposes this is kind of fire because growing up, gamers, nerves were the losers herbs. Yeah, they were the people that you never wanted to be seen, who you didn't want to talk to because they was running through the walls with their fingers and ship and now and now you have some of the richest men in the world cosplaying as gamers and even with the whole twitch thing and kicking all these people live streaming that them being like quote unquote losers or.

Gamers, everybody wants to be like them.

Now, Bro, you wasn't crazy.

You wasn't in the cafeteria having super saying offs when you're fucking friend. You wasn't in the calf in c s ninety crazy five and Sheridan. You wasn't in that cafeteria going.

You wasn't nowhere to be found.

But he wasn't doing that during the Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly. He wasn't doing the knowledge run through the hallways. You know what I'm saying, You was the future dans that you made. You was not you know what I'm saying you was not. You was not jaling on YouTube going super saying.

You know what I'm saying because because growing up, Bro, the coolest thing you could be is rich. And Elon is the richest fucking person walking this earth or he is right, he's one of the richest people in the world that he has access to all of these incredible things. But you still you just you just want to be like you just want to You just want to be you want to be.

Hugged, you bro, you want someone to be like you want somebody to call you big bro. You got so many bozos on the internet call you big bro, but nobody in real life.

Yeah, he really wants a forehead kiss and for somebody to call him a good boy. That's a craze.

And the.

Craziest part about that is that the easiest way to get infinite bitches, infinite swag, infinite notoriety, infinite support, uh is to like, I don't know, like end world hunger. Yeah right, imagine that, Like, imagine you like actually used your your fucking money to do actual literal philanthropy. There is no easier way to become cool.

It's such a layup.

It's such a fucking robinhood.

Did it one hundred million years ago? Did it in ninety six when I stole the similar from Connecticut? They brought it back to the Bronx so that all your children can get iron. You know what I'm saying, and not because of me. There's no iron deficiencies in the Bronx, you know what I'm saying. And like you're saying, bro, all these billy man motherfuckers. Man, all you gotta do is do a good thing.

Yeah, like end, you can write it off for the attackers.

Bitch, it's win win. You know what I'm saying, because as well the view mark Zuckerberg perfect.

Instead, we got Zuck talking about CEOs and corporate culture need to be more bro.

This motherfucker got handcut, started doing Brazilian jiu jitsu, got a little chain, started wearing like v nex to ship, started tanning.

I think I think it count a little syo. Zuck talk to him.

Let me tell you something.

Oh, actually, you know what before we get into the Zuck into the message to to my message to you, Zuckerborg, we're gonna get into the victory like Spanish lesson of the saying.

There it comes.

Today's Spanish phrase is they have or they have and you have to include the finger points like this needs you know what I'm saying, and what does it translate to Lizbelle.

Let me tell you something, motherfucker.

Yep, that's exactly the energy, the exactly the motherfucker at the end, perfected the pointed.

Let me tell it's nobody else you motherfucker.

You something yep, let me tell you something. So they how many is?

Let me tell you something, motherfucker.

Yep, so Zuckerborg. Now, Ma, you're talking about you talking about all this aggression and all this Oh masculinity needs to come back to the What the fuck do you know about masculinity or aggression? They made a biopic about you and they cast Jesse Eisenberg to play you. What about that screams masculine, you think because you can do jiu jitsu. Hey, you can't put a fucking hollow tip round in a leg lock, my brother. No amount of masculinity or aggression it's gonna save you. Nor is the imminent TikTok band that you are clearly over the moon about and probably spearheading as far as I know, Because then that means that you can more easily monopolize media and more easily, you know, fuel the agenda that you have to let misinformation just kind of run wild and stop thought checking things.

Hey, what happens with somebody's moving work on you?

Because it's not that they're not even saying, oh, you guys are causing harm.

No, we simply want you to sell it to us so that we can do what we.

Want with it, and it's so obvious because it's like, you know that this is the and I know people our age, they'd be like, oh, TikTok, like that's a fucking dancing app, and it's no, it's not. The reality is people make a lot of money on that app, not only regular people but businesses.

And then you have a widespread of information, of information happening in real time. It's not something that's been fucking regurgitated a million times. You are hearing words from Palestinians in Palestine telling you this is what people are doing. And that is the main reason why you want to ban TikTok, because you don't want the youth to be informed. And I don't think that they realize that what they're doing is radicalizing the generation even more, like you're literally forcing.

Them to be like wait, y'all wilding like this, Like yeah, literally trying to censor us this badly. Yeah, censoring us, Yeah, killing us. Y'are doing all of this ship, and we're just supposed to be blatant good victims for y'all.

That's what y'all want. Y'all want us to be good victims.

And that's a ship like it's is not jess Palistin is every like thing that's going on in the world. It's it's remember that portal that they put in that was like Ireland some shit, and they had to take it down because dis Yeah, Motherfucus is showing a dicks on TikTok. The dick is reality in this case, it's not a real dick. The reality was going on in the world, and they're like, oh no, we can't have this, bro, this got to get edited. We got to fix this in posts. Yeah.

No, I was watching clips of like that congressional sort of hearing where they were decide the fate of TikTok essentially, not the one where where I forget his name, but the CEO of Byte Dance where he's like, no, Senator, I'm Singaporean. Ye like that guy, despite you know, Byte Dance being a Chinese company as far as I know. But yeah, it's it's that. It's also that, like, like, let's call it what it is, bro, It's not that Byte Dance or that TikTok is pushing foreign interests and I quote right, it's not that that a foreign country has access to Americans data. Considering that TikTok's servers are all on American soil, they're all in Texas, and they're all secure right allegedly, as far as I know. It's the fact that a foreign power has this much power and is not aiding and embedding in your propaganda campaign. That's the main thing. That's all it has ever been. TikTok's worst crime is being objective. That's what I think.

I think TikTok's worst crime is the grooven gorilla. Dude, Oh my god, that is absolutely fair, like information suppression, misinformation, that's fine. The groven gorilla guy taking a bite out of a lobster roll and then gyrating around a bunch of white people doesn't sit right with me.

Yeah, okay, TikTok Okay, yeah.

So yeah, so that's that's essentially So why would you call yourself grooving gorilla? Why are you doing this to us? You know what you look like? My guy, you could have just been like strong man, like iron man. I don't know fucking what the fuck is like a good name for like a strong black guy.

Like So he did address that, actually did.

He's like, I don't want to be somebody gave me this state.

No, No, he was like he was like, Oh, I just like gorillas because they're strong and they're cool and and that's why I picked the name. And he was like, and he was and then he was like, but I could see the optics of that being like weird. Think Yeah, I mean it's essentially minstrelsy, Like that's what you're doing. Like when you go out there and.

You cheese man, and you cheese man hard.

And then and you know what I'm saying, and you take these bites out of his food and like it's it's it's it's minstrelsy.

Man.

I haven't seen his videos at all, but I've heard that the fire isn't in his eyes anymore.

That me.

Yo, bro yo, bro yo.

He sounds like bro from from the Wire, My hard no more man.

Man. He's like he's different man, Yeah, different man.

He's like I hope he comes out with a documentary so that we could understand what the fun was. The point it is, I ain't never seen a man like that wine his waist the way he does.

He's really good at it.

Trying to find out, Bro, you you could probably you could probably make a lot of money with that waist. Yeah, professionally you don't have to be dancing over back in cheese dancing.

You know what, the TikTok.

It really take that one thing, you know what, we need a free speech. We're living in a up democracy.

That holy ship.

But that does pose the question though, it poses the question.

What do you mean by you want to make these places more aggressive?

Like?

What's the point?

Where?

Where?

Where are you trying to make the public go?

Do you know that? Now you get you off? Which I did, Damn I got just push yourself for that. When they say aggressive, they don't mean us.

No, right, they don't mean us.

Because if I raised my voice and I said, hey, hey, hey, hey guys even like that voice.

Hey guys, this doesn't look right. Whoa, let's just this guy's yeap, Yes, combative negro. I don't know about these guys are urban matt guy. Yeah he's wearing a fitted cap.

Yeah he's right, a fitted cap. These gold chains they make it hard to see.

I don't even know. I don't know what's going on because the aggression is out of control.

Yeah, so they don't mean us. But I do actually do have an answer for you. The book that I love to cite the end of everything by Jonathan Taplin, who Jonathan Taplin who literally specifically predicted this exact scenario that is happening right now. It's called the End of Everything. How four billionaires are trying to sell you a life that doesn't exist. These teslas are blowing up, and these guys are fucking dying inside these cars and they're running straight into fucking trees and wrapping around fucking uh dividends and dividers and shit because this technology is we're not there yet. We're not there yet, but these guys are selling you this dream, thinking that you're going to have this self driving car that's going to be perfect, and you live in the future cyber truck, this cyberpunk aesthetic that isn't fucking real.

Right.

So the answer to answer your question, I think that between the TikTok ban and like zucks call for more mascul whatever fuck that means, right, right, and his pledge to let misinformation run amok and stop checks and balances on these social media sites, right, I think it's because media literacy was never the goal for us. It was never the goal for the average person. I think that there is too much access to too much objective information to the point now that the average person is too savvy to fall for old timey political jargon and propaganda. Right, So objective truths were never supposed to be accessible to us. So now he's there. That's the exact reason that he's calling for the end of checks and balances and the end of fact checking and all this stuff. Because Peter Teel, David Sachs, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, they don't want you to know the truth. So what they're gonna do is flood the market, flood the zeitgeist, flood the flood the algorithm with bullshit, Black Works, giving Mexican they give you, They're giving you raspberry tea, bro.

Everything. Oh my god, you're thinking you get info, bro, and you not. You think you're getting a big chicken breast and you're getting a half a Burger Gang chicken nugget.

I'm saying, stepped on news.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying. How you re rocking information, bro? It's crazy. Come on.

There's there's information, and then there's what I like to call anti info, which is which is just like random nonsense content and like.

I try to steer.

And it's very popular with children because again we are we are past the point of propaganda. We know what's good. It's my kids, and your kids and and everyone's kids that are like the target demographic. So anytime I catch my kids watching fucking beck, Bro, Jack or whoever the fuck it is, that's like shit, ain't we gonna build an entire McDonald's under my house?

What the fuck is that point? Every time I see my kids watching some ship like that, yeah, I picked them up by they is is bro, this is brain rot. Yeah, it's the whole Hey, yeah, bro, your house costs one hundred thousand dollars. You live in Texas. That's why it's eighteen floors. It's made it completely out of fucking paper and sheet rock. That's why you could cover your whole house in peanut butter to surprise your dad. Yeah, thathead like, yo, that is some type of ship that would have gotten me kill as a kid. But now that's content and like you're saying, it's bullshit, Bro, it's not anything informative. It's not anything like Yo. My mom's used to sit my hands down in front of the TV and niggas they have cable. She put on Channel thirteen. Boy, I was out there watching fucking nature. Fucking that's what you streaming, fucking learning how to you with the famous Amy's nigga recipes. You know what, I'm all that you feel me like all that ship now, man, I try to put that shit over. We're gonna get that ship out of here. Bro and even the ship that's four kids like Coco Melan and ship like that. It's just like it's just it's fucking peace. Peace. You got to eat your peas.

No, no, no, I don't want to eat my piece holy ship.

You'll kill off the street right now, Liz, I don't know where you're at right now with like you know what I'm saying. We're like, yo, do I want to build a family? Do I want to like you know what I'm saying, be career oriented? Do I want to do both?

Bro?

This is just giving you game into the future because it's worse your computers. They're gonna stop putting the bro they got fucking they got the break band, the fucking glasses with the camera. It's about to get crazy.

And I just I'm me. I got ni nephews, so I'm I'm big on you know, you know, like the youth and the new kids, but it's not only funny, but it's also scary.

Bro.

Like there's apps where people specifically look for children to do them, to do all kinds of weird shit. You gotta be legit on top. You can't just put these screens in front of these kids and.

Just let them raise them.

Bro. The other day, I was with my godson and he was like, oh, I want to play a game on YouTube.

I was like, you're so fucking dumb. You're such a dumb six year old. You're such a stupid fucking kid.

I was like, I don't you can't play a game on YouTube? You mean you want to watch somebody play a game on YouTube?

We could do that.

He's like, no, no, no, give me, takes my laptop, finds a section you could play games on YouTube.

This news to me.

That's the first time I felt old as fuck.

But it plays into like, uh, there being no media now for children, or it's just like you got fucking middle schoolers watching baddies.

That's what I'm saying. Like this, Yeah, I've you just kicked it in my brain because like, I totally forgot about this. I ran down on my son because I'm like, yo, you gotta go to bed. You know what I'm saying. This is a little badass murdered the third. So it's like eleven o'clock at night, Bro, your bedtime is nine thirty. Gang. Like you looking, I've been in my office doing what I do, like getting ready, and I didn't even hear you up here. Bro, I go up there and this motherfucker is playing a game in Fortnite that it's like a creator created game.

Like like like create a level type shit, right, create a level, Bro.

It's called Baddie's Box Fight. Oh and like you can pick like, yo, I'm team Meghanie Stallion, I'm team Ice Spice, I'm team this, I'm team Arianna Grande. And like the whole point of the game is to just kill each other. But when you kill each other, like a picture of like Megan the Stallion pops up, that's your reward. Like here you get to watch the fuck bro.

Dude, have you seen now? You know what my favorite thing is? Oh boy, is these roadblocks dance battles. Okay, so for those that don't know, for the uninitiated, these roadblocks dance battles is just a bunch of Okay, you remember getting light. Yeah, imagine that but in roadblocks and instead of clapping it up right, it's the fastest Jersey or Baltimore club.

Music you ever heard.

And that's it. That's it, that's it.

And it's not even like yo, I gotta put it in Like remember that old game Dance Dance Revolution. We have to like step on the thing and like time and it was like a rhythm timing things like physical. Nah, this is just smash this over and over.

Google some people, some of these kids will modify it, like they'll mob the game.

My favorite clip ever is this guy's dance super sad and then.

He teleports so long, but it's it's microphone, so the further away from the mic you are, the lower the music gets.

Like that, so he teleported to the wall. All your hear is.

Yo, everybody, yeah, everybody, so listen.

I'm interested. So I'm terrified for the children. I'm so interested. I want to see that right now.

That's what happens. So I feel like when Roadblacks first came out, like I feel like I saw this ship from the beginning, right because like I will, like, yo, Amari, you still hot for this though, you know you still have with me for this. This motherfucker's been eight hundred dollars on roebucks.

I forgot because I God, that's how you get the person to impress, that's how you got That's how you get the good outfits.

So like he but he was like six to be fair, you know what I'm saying, My dumb but my dumb ass left because I was the only one using the PlayStation. So I was just like, this is my ship, bro, Yeah, niggas one controller for a reason because he got on there download the roadblocks. My credit card was just connected to because I'm the only one using it. I don't want to put in a password every time I want to download the fucking random shiit. So this motherfucker goes in there, starts playing and waste eight hundred dollars on roadbucks. And I was like I called, and I was just like, yo, listen, this is crazy. My son's five years old. Like he made a mistake, and then like I ended up getting the money back. Don't get me wrong, but like it was that was like strictly the domain of like kid six, seven, eight, nine, ten year olds. Now my daughter was like, yo, daddy, can you play with me? So this game was it's like role playing games where she's like, yo, I'm the mom, you're the baby. So she'll like she'll be like, yo, pick your outfit picking, bro, there's a y N outfit. Bro, there's a fucking like oh, there's a sucking like Rando Rondo Simon Simon bro. Face tied. So and then you pick your age right so you can be like adult young adult child. So I'm a y N infant. She's like, she's my mom.

Wait, you're an i N. Like, Yo, we got yans, we got Jim Jones, oh en, and now we got lions.

He said, Yo. So I'm an i N with a face tag and like there's little lines and ship and like the little denims and I can't I can't walk because I'm a baby. So like I'm just like playing on the floor and I can jump up and down. So like the whole time I'm chatting, I'm in the chat and obviously everybody in his nine years old because they're not responding to anything that I'm saying because I'm just like yo, I'm playing one though, and she's just like, yo, let's go into our house. We go into like our virtual house. Or whatever. And then somebody else comes that wants to play because it's like real places like interactive. Yo, let's chat, let's go to the get a smoothie like whatever.

So this person, this random like little girl, is like, hello, can I play with you?

And it's like, go away, go away, it came. She opens the garage door. Sure, he tries to pull her car in. She hits E manfast on a keyboard, like close the garage. So now she closed the garage door halfway on this little girl's car. She's like keeps sepping, go away, go away, go away. Now I'm like not coming side, come inside, coming side, yo, come aside yo, And I'll just keep saying that, and she's just like what is going on here? Bro? Like what are you doing? Then my daughter leaves. She gets bored. Kids have the attention of gold goldfish, attention goldfish. These days, she's tired of it.

She's out, I'm into it now, like you said, like, Yo, this is weird bro, Like I'm just like fucking fucking d than like im. But I'm an infant, yo, I can't like I'm driving a Lamborghini.

Yeah, Like this is crazy Dad. I'm like, yo, I just start saying ship in the chat and I'm just like, Yo, I'm trying to go to the club. Who's trying to turn up with me? Like, Yo, we are we are, we are, we are. And all these little Daniel kids are like, broo, what what's the club?

You can go to the rod Block Strip club, like I've seen it before.

And they're like, but just stop it.

Oh my god, man, it's like incapable, isn't freaky?

Bro? Oh my god, strict club. That's insane.

Because just just man boxes, yes, yeah, just boxes.

No, they look like they look like that they're doing that Brazilian ship. They don't throw it in a circle, they're throwing it's crazy, holy ship. Speaking of media literacy, man fucking and attention spans, Bro, you know what I'm saying Like that, that's you know, going back to the whole point of like, this is what CEOs want, This is what Zuck wants, this is what Peter Teel wants, this is what David Sachs wants, this is what all these people want, and it's explained. Shout out to Jonathan Taplin man A million and one fucking time's over, bro, for basically putting it plain as day. But unfortunately he put it in a book.

And that's why you lose them. That's when you lose him.

No one fucking reads, but I encourage everyone to read the end of everything. How four billionaires are selling you a dream that doesn't exist. And it's why Jonathan Taplin I said it last season album, keep saying it forever as long as the shit is playing out in front of us. But anyway, speaking of media literacy, I saw No Saratu for my birthday, and the reception has been mixed because audiences are like sort of like basically, the conversation online is around how audiences are not responding appropriately to like the scenes in the film, how people are like laughing at like scenes that are meant to be like dramatic and like invoke like terror.

And uh.

People are defending that, saying that there's no wrong way to watch things, or there's no wrong way to consume media, and I don't agree. So I was gonna open the floor to you guys and see how you guys feel, like, is there a right or wrong way to consume media?

It's art, you know what I'm saying, And once you put it out there, it's like a painting, Like you know what I'm saying, Like a painting could mean something to you, it could mean something to me. Like my mom loves, as all Dominican moms do, to have like a still life of some fucking aguacante in the proof bowl and sh that shit speaks to her. Bro, i' mean seeing that shit, and I'm like, bro, I could do this, give me, like to send me to like a painting, sip and I'll make this shit for you, you know what I'm saying. So to that effect, I'm like, yo, listen watching however you want to watch it. But I thought that the take that the way you were going was that people that there's no like nos Faratu, like, uh, like that's not canon. Oh my brother, she came out in like nineteen ten. He came out nineteen twenty two. Yeah yeah, yea, yeah, what do you mean who gives a fuck? Original words? Yeah, don't sound yeah yeah, it's just a creepynigga running around. So like I get it because it's like also talking about media literacy and like all the ship that that motherfuckers consume. I wouldn't be surprised if the people laughing were like younger people who are so desentitized to like actual like violence and gore. That's part of like the whole Like they want a band tiktop because that's a direct line to like singeing ship for real, and like kids are now seeing shit for real. When we were kids, it was.

Like you were always sheltered, Yeah whatever or it's whatever is on the news. So yeah, so like with yeah.

Us growing up, everything that we got was like curated.

Yeah, it still is.

To an extent, but like you could kind of like escape that a little bit, Like like.

Before growing up on the news at least, I didn't used to see like glory stuff. I didn't used to see people that like literally dying on the TV.

Also, for for context, Noratu was not that gory. It was just it was just it was just like really so I don't categorize it as a horror film. It's more terror, Like it's meant to invoke like terror and like and like make you afraid of like the circumstances. Not it's like it's like it's not like Saw, you know what I mean, where it's like where it's like hard to watch because people are cutting limbs off. No, it's it's more hard to watch because it depends on you investing in the media you are watching, which is my point. It's like, I'm not, I'm not. I'm not doom scrolling TikTok with the same brain that I watched. That's what I mean by like there's a right and wrong way to consume media.

It's like, is there is, bro, because I could say that for me, if I'm forced to watch something, I will find the worst possible thing about it.

I will not enjoy it. I was forced to watch Avatar.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's ship.

Oh yeah, man, I'll say I was. I'm not.

I love movies, right, but two I was, And thirty minutes is my cap.

You got more?

You got more than that.

Pause you and I'll be back.

To you in a week or so. I was forced to watch a motherfucking tar Bro.

And I told my brother, I said, listen, I'm not, I'm not in the mood for the ship today, bro, Not for four hours, all.

Right, not, not not for this money, not not this.

And I watched it in anger and I couldn't enjoy the movie the whole time. I'm like, you got these blue big toall bitches, we got this white bitch coming in to destroy they fucking they're there ancestral, yeah, their ancestratry. And then you want to fake fucking save them too. What kind of bullshit is perfectly fine, You stupid bitch tried to infiltrate and then you fall in love with them, and then you want to save them. You literally caused this ship. I'm so sorry.

I want you can't.

I can't see your blue bitch today.

Liz, have you seen the second one? So he starts a family with the with the person he fell on.

Just about him being a fucking asshole.

It's also for being a stupid bitch, because why why would you do that?

Why would you?

First of all, you already got your blue people, bro, it's a beautiful land you're gonna pro create with with Jake Sully, with.

Your white man's.

This motherfucker is a mute and he not even he's not even from your tribe.

Fore me off.

I'm sorry, Speaking of mutants, Speaking of mutants, Cyclops just got announced for Marvel rivalship.

It's a big whoa whoa something like that.

Who would say something like that, It's so crazy. Somebody take men mic awake. He said that, I don't know why he said that.

Oh my god, yeah, man, now you see what I mean. Men too freaky? But now your it off all this make it his say, some out of.

Pocket ship because I would never.

Exactly I think that's ten bodies, bro. I just it might be ten bodies for real. I'm but speaking of mutants. Uh and media literacy right like uh, Like, Cyclops was just announced for Marvel Rivals. I don't play Marvel Rivals because it's essentially like well, it's not essentially anything, but I'm paraphrasing for anyone that doesn't play Marvel Rivals. It's just like Overwatch with an X Men skin, or Overwatch with a Marvel skin, or you know what I mean. Like, it's just you know, teams in a room they blasted each other, people got different loadouts, like you know, Wolverine is meant to check tanks. The tanks are meant to check these, you know, if.

Your team of Venom and Spider Man and Penny Parker they get.

So, all things considered, it's really cool. But Cyclops got announced, and I was considering giving it a shot until Cyclops got announced. Damn, because fuck Cyclops. I hate Cyclops. He sucks, he stinks, and I don't like him. And this goes to the media literacy conversation, because my opinion of Cyclops is based on a very specific time in my life where I was like ten years old watching the nineties X Men cartoon where he is a fucking, whiny, useless, fucking boy scout pussy bitch.

Bro. Oh my god.

And then shortly thereafter I saw the X Men Fox films which star Scott Marsten as Cyclops, and he is again a whiny, useless, entitled, over zealous, over zealous, pussy ass boy scout bitch. Right after that, I decided Cyclops was not for me as a character. And ever since then, Bro, they have been on this make Cyclops cool again campaign.

Oh and I'm sorry.

I get it. I get that he's this revolutionary. I get that he's Huey P.

Mutant.

Now, I get that, but he but my opinion of him is based on this very specific time where I was consuming a very specific type of media about this character. And now that's just my opinion of him.

Forever.

He will be lame forever, and nothing can unlame him to me.

I was gonna say, since he learned it at that age, it's kind of like, bro, there's no logic. Nobody could put seventeen different movies in front of you. It's like, bro, it don't matter, fuck him, don't.

I don't care what you're talking about. Ye, And it's funny of each other because like the draw to me to the game was being like an old school like Marvel, like having like the Marvel cards back in the day, like the first series Marvel cards, like Yo, I got Yo, I got this, Loki sucks, he's not even strong like whatever, But having those conversations that you have as a kid, like when you're sitting like just sitting there eleven years old, game high and being like damn niggas wasn't gonna check me, but like leven years old, get high at this point, Bro, I thought you started. I thought you were smoking.

Backward.

But like it feeds that like that child in me. That's like, yo, what if Moonnight had a fight with Venom? Yeah yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying. What if Venom and Squirrel Girl got together and fought Groop and fucking star Lored Dog that would be fucking li and then I put the blood down. I'm like, yo, you're forty one years.

Old, get crazy about I'm telling you.

Listen.

Listen, Brosten, you fuck with you funk with like with like fucking black widows, ship, like from the Avengers, like you got a sniper rightfle right boom right, so you'd be sniping from across the map. It's crazy, crazy word so that you know what I mean. But then the Avengers, Oh yeah, my fuck, here you go. There was some boom.

You could be eye man, you could like fly up and the sky and ship.

It's crazy, bro because some some some of these motherfuckers could fly and some of them could like not you know what I mean, and some of this map browlick.

You even thought about shutting the fuck up?

Oh my god, that's not funny.

But I was thinking about the media literacy thing because it's important to take information at a young age and how you do it because when I was young, I used to I didn't realize this now, but I used to do mad book reports when I was young. My teachers had to literally tell me to shut the fuck up because I would. I loved reading stories, finding the plot, finding the lesson. So it's like reading helps you with that, it helps you analyze a situation, remove yourself from it logically try to find like what's going on. So that's why I even encourage like my nieces and nephews always you'll pick up a book, read, write a report on it, even if it's two or three sentence. Just try to focus your mind and find why was this story written?

Yes, you know, what was the point of it?

What's the point of the story? What are Can you feel like they're trying to drag you along? Like, do you feel like they're trying to put something into your mind? Is do you feel any kind of manipulation in a story? Do you feel like what is it that you feel when you read this story? I read a book called trust Me on Lying Confessions of a Media Manipulator by Ryan Holliday, and that book he literally works in that he works in spreading false information two blogs to news and he said that there is what happens. There is what the media reports, and then it's what we what they show us, and then what we consume and then what we spread. So we might be getting some bullshit as information, and then we remove what is important to us or what stands out, and that's what we spread to each other.

Yeah.

So it's like I think about the Diddy situation, right, there was a lot going on in that case. There's sex trafficking, allegations, like there's all of these things. People focused on the baby oil. People focused on the high. They focused on the baby oil, on the fact that.

He was having it was with men.

Those were like the two main talking points, even though the story is much bigger, even then what we know or even the media reports.

Oh yeah. And it's like and again, is there a right or wrong way to consume media?

Yeah?

Because news is media. So if if if what you got from that is just Diddy's gay baby oil, then you have consumed that media wrong, right, right, Like you have you have consumed the wrong pieces of that media. You know what I'm saying.

And you ate the slice of pizza? What you here? You can say, what are you doing?

Yeah?

And uh and and it's it's uh, but it's part of the bigger picture, right Like Like again, like Zucks pledge, Zucks pledge to let misinformation run wild and and and stop checks and ship because CEOs are way too comfortable. And I think he wants to keep it that way. And I think that the the sanctification and the deification of Luigi man Joan and that whole situation got these motherfuckers. You know what I'm saying, Like, Yo, we can't we can't let people know about Palestine. We can't let people know about about Luigi, like we can't. So we're just gonna stop a check to all of that ship and whatever does the most numbers is whatever does the most numbers.

And then yeah, and then for the people who don't want to be online, don't worry, We're going to create fu Ai profiles so that they also they are.

They're the ones that you see on the internet.

It's like, bro, yeah, really trying to Ai humans now, like actual interactions.

This ship is insane and it reminds me of.

The white singer the okay, okay, how she kind of went, uh.

Mental music is guy.

So you know what I'm saying, it is very really could stand by her then, at least because you know, she did say.

She said, how about we kill you? You know, I mean I say that ship with my whole chest, y'all. I won't even blink look at me. I'm not gonna blink. I'm gonna keep my eyes open the whole time. Sometimes, motherfucker's gotta get domed. Yeah, I'm saying you're saying, yo, fucking you know what I'm saying, Like, listen, and it is what it is, you know what I'm saying. Like, and every other country with his revolutions and ship going on, they say that ship to the reporters. Yeah, then not saying it to the YouTube. Guy, they say that ship straight to like BBC TV or whatever the fu.

Yeah, nobody's nobody's going to VLAT or academics talking about Yo, we gotta get the CEOs out of here.

Bro. Imagine because listen, and even fam even with the platform the academics has, he won't use that ship for something like that.

He gets what, guy, I think Lebron and Drake and having sex with the same limit or something like that. I don't know. They were playing a too big game. I'm like, bro, what are you even talking about? Yeah, what are you even talking about?

Like like, I heard like the first two seconds of that ship and I checked out, Bro.

Whatever man, Listen, I I I am always against platforming Jamaican Roger Rabbit, but I.

Think he might hear this and start crying.

Oh yeah, be careful. He might hear this and down a fifth of Hennessy. Yeah, but this is.

He is Sigmon from the Chipmunks, not Theodore bad.

Not leave Teddy alone.

Yo.

But yeah, it's it's it's annoying. It's annoying as fuck. And again he's part of that anti he's part of that anti content, anti info where it's just you're just watching this guy, do fuck all and listen here is and it's like it's like you were saying, like, how how you how you are with your nieces and nephews and stuff. How You're like I do the same thing, like with my kids, Like if if they're watching something like beck bro Jack whatever the fuck his name is, Like they're watching some bullshit like that, I'm like, no, we're not gonna watch that. Go to Netflix, pick something with a narrative, put the fucking screen down, watch and Yo. To this day, I'm I'm firm in this belief that subtitles have made my kids sharper, because.

I'll tell you, because I'll tell them.

I'll be like, Yo, we're gonna watch this, turn on the subtitles and follow along. Yes, and then and and now Griffin and Godric are sharp as fuck, and like, I'll stop what I'm playing to do the same thing that you do. I'll be like, oh, so, why do you think this character feels this way in this moment? And I'm like, why do you feel? Why do you think that he's worried about this thing or whatever? Like, So to all the parents out there right who feel like they got to have a screen in front of their kids, like and they are admonished and they are ostracized for so much screen time, I get it. I live by myself when my kids are with me, it's just me, and when it's dinner time and it's time to clean, and it's and it's and it's tubby and like all this other stuff. Right when I got to take care of house shit and I got to be houseman, I kind of have no choice but to but to put a screen in front of him. And what is on that screen is up to you as the parent. So don't let them just be on YouTube fucking around. Get duo lingo kids, Do you speak another language? Do you speak French or Spanish or whatever?

Yo?

You want to use the iPad here, here's duo lingo. Here's a coding program to you. So you can learn how to code at fucking five years old. You want to watch something, Okay, cool, here's Netflix, here's a nature show, I'm fucking Disney whatever. Like I I don't agree with this narrative that screens are the devil. I think that you need to do the work to make the screen help you. You know what I'm saying.

Oh so basically what you're saying is that I'm a bad parent because I give my kids, uh their iPads and I let them watch uh sied castro versus Jay Mills in front of Justine. Wow, that makes me a bad person.

That makes you a great that actually?

Well, yes, year old kid, it wasn't Corey guns Free.

He want yo I put? I said, my kids moved. My kids moved like pretty far up. So when they with me, I go, yo yo, sit down, you go watch this. This is history right here, and never forget where you're from. And it's get like Fordham Plaza. Yo, bro, we're watching Flattery Park get like videos.

Right.

Let me tell you something. Every dudy and teacher in school Washington all that bullshit. Yeah that's great, but this is a real historical figure. This guy's name is yoppie yepe sagging fly like a dragon. Yah, pitch on my ti because I look like Aladdin. Yeah, oh my god.
