Overview

In this candid and freewheeling episode of "Selective Ignorance," Mandii B and her co-hosts deliver their signature blend of humor, authenticity, and sharp social commentary. The conversation oscillates between the personal and the political, moving seamlessly from reflections on Black culture and intra-community dynamics to the surreal reality of the Atlanta Hawks’ historic partnership with Magic City strip club, scandalous headlines in the world of relationships, and the chilling developments in global politics—from the Epstein files fallout to growing tensions in the Middle East. This episode confronts heavy truths with wit and vulnerability, urging listeners to question the dominant narratives and stay engaged, all while challenging the myth of "exceptional Negroes" and the distractions wielded by power.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Celebrating Blackness & Women's History Month (03:00–07:00)

• Mandii B opens up with an ode to Black brilliance, resilience, and the joy of being unapologetically Black.

  “Black is grace, Black is love. Black makes babies, black babies grow up… Black is me, black is you. Black is not something that we get to choose, but it is something that we get to cherish.”
  — Mandy B. (04:00)

• In honor of Women's History Month and the conclusion of Black History Month, the hosts shout out women leaders, especially those running The Black Effect Podcast Network.

2. Atlanta Hawks x Magic City: “Atlanta is Not a Real Place” (31:16–41:30)

• The hosts unpack the unprecedented collaboration between the Atlanta Hawks and iconic strip club Magic City.
  • “NBA games are seen as family friendly. I don't know how a strip club is considered family friendly.”
    — Mandy B. (32:40)
  • Mandy breaks down the connection: Hawks owner Jamie Gertz produced a Magic City doc with Jermaine Dupri, hence the tie-in.
• Cultural Framing: While the NBA steers clear of directly referencing “strip club,” the Magic City influence is woven throughout the event—wings, DJ sets, merch (hoodies for $125), and prominent guests like T.I. and DC Young Fly.
• Gender Critique: Panelists debate why the event whitewashes the actual women of Magic City, highlighting a double standard in celebrating Black culture while erasing its creators.
  • “How are you not gonna acknowledge the women that make Magic City cool?”
    — Mandy B. (35:40)
• Local insight on Atlanta’s unique relationship to Black nightlife, strip culture, and how other cities regulate (or neuter) similar venues.

3. Myth of the “Exceptional Negro” & Black Intragroup Dynamics (20:52–29:40)

• History and Gatekeeping: Discussion traces the roots of the NAACP (“double A C P”) back to its multiracial founders and unpacks W.E.B. Du Bois’ “talented tenth” theory.
  • “Are you willing to curb your tongue as it relates to the program?... It's how you carry it. Like the same way you were talking about how a Morehouse man carries himself as a Morehouse man.”
    — Yomi Kennedy (24:02)
• The group grapples with respectability politics, exceptionalism in Black spaces, and the risk of internal gatekeeping.
• Reparations debate: Should compensation be land, money, or something else? The hosts examine lineage, Africa-vs-diaspora divides, and how real reparations would look.

4. Relationship Scandals: Tez Johnson’s Messy Proposal (45:47–52:43)

• Viral saga: Tez Johnson, an athlete, proposes to his girlfriend while simultaneously sexting his ex. The ex exposes him on TikTok.
  • Standout moment: Reading the text, “Need your throat.”
    — Soulja Boy (47:44)
• Reflecting on expectations around infidelity when dating athletes, and whether public exposure hurts the man or embarrasses the women more.

5. Epstein Files, Accountability, and State Sanctioned Distractions (52:43–59:24)

• Political distractions: The panel theorizes that escalating international crises (missile strikes, talk of WWIII) are partly distractions from the explosive revelations of the Epstein files.
  • “I think we are literally now entering World War III to distract us from the Epstein files.”
    — Mandy B. (53:09)
• Accountability gap: Discussing the lack of real consequences for U.S. elites (e.g., Bill Clinton, Bill Gates) implicated in the Epstein saga, as opposed to resignations elsewhere.
  • “In the U.S., we’re getting apologies. That’s it.”
    — Mandy B. (53:39)
• Deepak Chopra’s disturbing emails, plausible deniability, and the public’s role in demanding accountability.

6. Media, Misinformation & the Narrative War

• The New York Times controversy: an old op-ed resurfacing, arguing for seeing pedophilia as a disorder rather than a crime, causes outrage.
  • “At a time where a lot of these Epstein files is highlighting that a lot of our fucking leaders and powerful people are fucking pedophiles, to bring this to even the forefront at a time like, this is disgusting.”
    — Mandy B. (60:56)
• The slippery slope of language: Discussion of attempts to “rebrand” pedophilia and how media narratives are manipulated to serve power.
• Chilling podcast example: Discussion of a viral clip from Two Bears One Cave where a host describes unwanted arousal when holding his baby—met with universal disgust by the panel.

7. Global Conflict: U.S., Middle East, and Dethroning the Dollar (67:00–86:48)

• The connection between chaos in the Middle East and U.S. politics. The panel dives into the repercussions of ongoing missile strikes, the Iran situation, the shifting news cycle, and the deeper psychological impact of living in a perpetual state of fear.
  • “The script is written. Yeah, there's more to come.”
    — Mandy B. (88:56)
• Rise of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, etc.) and the threat to U.S. global power and economic dominance.
  • “Our dollar don't mean shit going…”
    — Mandy B. (79:00)
• The panel connects the dots between regime change operations, the destabilizing impacts of U.S. foreign policies, and the domestic exhaustion with endless conflict.
  • “There's fatigue with us having to discuss it. There's fatigue in us, the regular people, the citizens of this country, having to even consume it.”
    — Mandy B. (84:40)

8. Call to Action: Stay Engaged & Break the Algorithm (87:19–88:45)

• Mandii repeatedly urges listeners to be proactive, seek news from multiple sources, and not succumb to echo chambers.
  • “Remove yourself from the echo chamber and see what's really happening and figure out how it impacts you... Figure out, who do I need to vote for come midterms?...”
    — Mandy B. (87:38).
• The hosts remind the audience that active citizenship—and uncomfortable conversations—are necessary in times of crisis.

  — Mandy B. (31:16, recurring joke through the Magic City segment)
• On exceptionalism:

  — Soulja Boy and Yomi Kennedy (25:11, 25:18)
• The hypocrisy of ‘family friendly’ NBA partnerships:

Tone & Style

The episode weaves irreverent humor, vulnerability, and sharp commentary. Jokes and playful drags keep the conversation buoyant even through heavy topics, with the hosts’ authentic camaraderie providing space for nuanced takes. The show is unapologetically Black, intersectional, and designed to make listeners both think and laugh—even as it points out just how “not real” so much of our world now feels.

For those who haven’t listened: This episode is a wild, urgent, and often hilarious ride through everything from strip club marketing and athletic infidelity, to the rot at the heart of American power. It challenges you to question the superficial, break through manufactured ignorance, and dare to be both skeptical and self-aware.

Now let's get to this week's episode. This is Mandy B. Welcome to Selective Ignorance, a production of the Black Effect podcast network and iHeartRadio. Black and Dangerous. You know those blacks with education are the most dangerous. Cuz black is brilliant. Black is strong, Black is resilient, Black is song. Black is infinite like hip hop or space. Black is grace, Black is love. Black makes babies, black babies grow up. Black is tough, Black is hard to do. Black is me, black is you. Black is not something that we get to choose, but it is something that we get to cherish. It's something we get to wear and we get to rock this with honor. I'm black like my granddaddy and my great grand happy Women's History Month and the wrap up of Black History Month. Welcome to another episode of Selective Ignorance with me, your girl, Mandy B. Now on today's episode, we are getting into all the ignorant things but also all the political things. That is really driving me crazy to the point where I don't even want to pick up my phone. But first, this is not a sports podcast. But we're letting you guys know about the Atlanta Hawks partnering with with the Magic City. That's right. Somehow the NBA has allowed a NBA team to partner with a strip club. And this is for the very first time in the history of the NBA we're getting into it because you know why? Atlanta is not a real place. We're also getting into Tess Johnson who was just put on blast by his ex fiance over TikTok and how he wanted some throat on the day of his proposal. Then in this is America there is a lot to get into. Deepak Chopra and the Epstein Files. Then bills, bills, bills. That's right. All the bills that are stated in the Epstein files as well. Coming out to apologize and pretty much admit to the things that we are reading in these files. We are going to talk about it because it needs to be discussed because apparently this might be why there's missiles. I think that the American government is trying to distract us from these files by now apparently putting us into World War Three. Have you ever had a dream that

[Mandy B.]

you had you do you want you could do?

[Jason Jolie]

So I think that's where we headed. And I told y' all I wasn't gonna outrun them zombies. I ain't outrunning these missiles either.

[Mandy B.]

Run.

[Jason Jolie]

We getting into all the things right here on Selective Ignorance. Don't go anywhere. And of course, I am joined by my one super producer because Jason the journalist is not here today because I didn't send him a calendar invite, y'. All. Jason literally wrote in the group chat, it said he was at a children's birthday party today. Fuck them kids. Because he ain't get a calendar invite, which is crazy. So in March, we gonna have to send all them calendar locks, y'.

[Matt Rogers]

Okay.

[Soulja Boy]

Okay.

[Jason Jolie]

And of course, you know, I have non traditional ways of viewing relationships. And someone hopped in the comments and was like, talked about how I was so masculine. They brought up the rings on my fingers. And then they said, that's why she also only hires and works with men. And that's just not true at all. My point. So they were talking about how I want to live this masculine life, and that's why I like to boss men around. And I'm like, bro, there's so many women that I also work with on my team. So thank you. Kennedy, here, yomi here. By the way, y' all don't even know. Shout out Daija, shout out cyn, Shout out what other women we got working. I've also worked with Mae tj. I love working with women too. So thank you for acknowledging that.

[Soulja Boy]

They be investing. It's the optics of Mandy. The theater of Mandy.

[Jason Jolie]

I don't like it. It said I'm a villain. It said I don't work with.

[Soulja Boy]

Well, they said your rings, first of all. That means when they looking at the video, they like, ooh.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Well, it's crazy that they coming at you over rings to be masculine. Like, I thought. I thought it was gonna be like, oh, she be pegging niggas and shit. And so, like, that's. I thought maybe, like, you go through that and shit. But I will say this, though. You do have. You are Goth Mandy today. You are straight like Blade, like Wesley Snipes. Probably looking for your ass right now.

[Jason Jolie]

Start potting in pink.

[Public Ad]

Maybe make me look nice.

[Jason Jolie]

I'm in all black today.

[Soulja Boy]

These are the biggest, bro.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I don't even. Can the camera even pick those up? Biggest Crocs I've ever seen in my entire life.

[Soulja Boy]

And that's an expensive golf fit.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, I didn't know golf fits were expensive golf couture.

[Jason Jolie]

Like, mind you, this is my whole fit. Shout out to Urban Outfitters, and then, yeah, I have Balenciaga Crocs on right now that are massive. But also what I like is it makes me taller than everyone in this room. And yes, even if you say it doesn't, to me it does, okay? I already have the soul of a six fold nigga, okay? So to me, not Northwest Crocs.

[Soulja Boy]

Northwest Crocs.

[Jason Jolie]

By the way, the way me and my mama got into an argument over Northwest this week was crazy.

[Yomi Kennedy]

What side of the trick?

[Jason Jolie]

You know, because she said that Northwest is a terrible role model for children.

[Soulja Boy]

Wow.

[Jason Jolie]

And I had to be like, listen. I said, tam A. I said, you can't say that about North West. I said, why? She's like, because of, you know. And she didn't really have, of course. And I was like, is it because of her piercings? I said, because, mom, if you're even gonna talk about the mothering of Kim and what she's allowing north to do. I said, we colored our hair. We got piercings at a young age. I said, you let us express ourselves. Maybe because we weren't the wealthiest or nor was it an era where it was publicized.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Right?

[Jason Jolie]

I said, but I was tatted at 16, I had piercings at 14.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I said, so what are we doing?

[Jason Jolie]

What are we doing?

[Yomi Kennedy]

What are we talking about, fam?

[Jason Jolie]

I said, don't be talking about. Oh, my God.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, shit.

[Jason Jolie]

By the way, yomi just pulled up Northwest wearing my shoes.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Wait, you stole her whole style.

[Jason Jolie]

Don't do that. Don't do that. I did not heal from a 13 year old girl. Damn. Nah, it's a little crazy. Anyways, let's get into it. Wasn't really ignorant this week for me as much as maybe I know better and didn't do better.

[Matt Rogers]

Ok.

[Jason Jolie]

I also realized I am for sure entering my auntie era. So this week I went out and partied. I had a lot of potting this week. So went out and partied this week. Maybe a little too hard.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Uh.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh.

[Jason Jolie]

To where I don't think I've felt hungover more than I felt this week.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, they got you.

[Jason Jolie]

Went out and the drinks got me.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Mm.

[Jason Jolie]

So started off at dinner, started off before dinner at the bar to wait for dinner. So had two dirty martinis.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Vodka or gal?

[Jason Jolie]

Filthy.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Filthy.

[Jason Jolie]

I love a filthy martini.

[Yomi Kennedy]

You put a whole jar of olives inside that.

[Jason Jolie]

Give it to me, baby. Stuffed blue cheese, olives, all the things. Then ended up going to a dive bar.

[Soulja Boy]

Did you have any?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Did you wear those?

[Jason Jolie]

Went to Northside Tavern. Didn't wear these. No.

[Yomi Kennedy]

That would have been you right up your alley of Northside Tavern.

[Soulja Boy]

Do you have extra stragglers with you?

[Jason Jolie]

No, we was lit. It was me. Yomi met up with my girl Jazzy, who's my DJ on my radio show here. She had her friends in Atlanta randomly, like walk past Apollo. Like. I'm like, Atlanta is so random. So random. As much we leave a dive bar and go to this place called Flo Now, Y', All, Flo is an R&B night in Atlanta, DJ'd by Brian Michael Cox, by the way. So we go in, and I meet up with Robert Glasper Terrace Martin.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, it was big ball, Kelly Rowland.

[Soulja Boy]

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. You know where I'm gonna go?

[Yomi Kennedy]

I know exactly where you gonna go.

[Soulja Boy]

Yo, you gotta pick a side now.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Now you gotta pick a side. Okay.

[Jason Jolie]

I realized I got the Y N. I thought.

[Soulja Boy]

No, no, no. I'm just saying.

[Yomi Kennedy]

No, you.

[Soulja Boy]

You are an elite company, like, musically elite company. But when you said Terrence Martin, I just want to square focus on him for a second. You know, he's part of the brain trust.

[Jason Jolie]

Here we go.

[Soulja Boy]

And the blueprint.

[Jason Jolie]

Can we not bring up Kendrick every.

[Soulja Boy]

Oh, so you. So she.

[Yomi Kennedy]

So she knows.

[Soulja Boy]

So she.

[Jason Jolie]

How are you not.

[Soulja Boy]

Yo, we gonna have to fix this shit.

[Jason Jolie]

We cannot do that. It's okay. Do they know South Central.

[Soulja Boy]

We gonna have to hit, like, hey, hey, no.

[Jason Jolie]

By the way.

[Yomi Kennedy]

By the way, how many ops you really got? There's really too many options.

[Jason Jolie]

Is this what we're doing? Is this what we're doing? But no, it was really good running into them. I haven't seen them since, like, when I lived in New York. Like, love seeing Robert anytime. He's at the boat. Phenomenal. So him and Terrence Martin pretty much sold out.

[Soulja Boy]

He was one of the opps of your boo, too, once upon a time. Cause your boo was uninformed.

[Jason Jolie]

Who is my boy?

[Soulja Boy]

When he won the Grammy, he was like, ooh, rabbit, glass parade.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Who the fuck is he? Yeah, yeah, he was. He was.

[Soulja Boy]

And then they learned him real quick. Like, gay niggas.

[Jason Jolie]

Like, hey, do y' all not realize that I play both sides all the time?

[Soulja Boy]

We want you to play a side. We want you to get me.

[Jason Jolie]

There is no sides for me. Literally. I hang with everybody. I don't care about nobody. Beef. When Joe and Charlamagne were beefing publicly, I announced signing with both of them a month apart. Like, I don't pick a side. I'm uta. I'm wme.

[Yomi Kennedy]

How did that make you feel on the inside?

[Jason Jolie]

She looked so good. First off, I'm like, did she see what you look like? How you say I look good? Bitch, do you see you? I could only hope I look good when I reach your age.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Kelly is one of them ones.

[Jason Jolie]

Like to know that you're someone that I was looking at when I was 11 years old.

[Soulja Boy]

That was your first time meeting her?

[Jason Jolie]

Uh, no. I met Kelly before. I met Kelly before. Kelly was just at the radio station promoting the.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, the Method Man.

[Jason Jolie]

So just saw her there, and I was. I was close enough to be dripped on by her sweat when I went to the Monica and Brandi, like, I was right there. Like, I could have just, you know. But that was great. And then, literally, I did get to enjoy Terrace Martini and Robert Glasper at oh, City Winery.

[Yomi Kennedy]

City Winery, Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw they were over there where

[Jason Jolie]

I got to enjoy being the youngest person in the room.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Jolie]

Outside of Yomi. Yomi really got it. But we for sure were the youngest people in that room.

[Yomi Kennedy]

All the City Winery shows I've been to have mostly been Marcia Ann Broci's shows because I.

When I say I saw her with Robert Glasper.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, yeah. They go crazy.

[Jason Jolie]

If y' all had.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, them two together, go nuts.

But yeah, no, my ignorance was at, like, 35. You really feel liquor.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, yeah. What happens with liquor is that you get your ID checked to get it, and then eventually it starts checking your ID to see if it's gonna fuck you up.

[Jason Jolie]

Listen.

[Yomi Kennedy]

And he decided to be like, oh, you. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jason Jolie]

Maybe the next day I was dead. I potted. So listen, there's a couple episodes on decisions to say bitch. I don't know what the fuck I was saying. I don't. I don't.

[Jason Jolie]

have y' all experienced any ignorance in the last week or so?

[Yomi Kennedy]

I didn't experience any real ignorance, but the. The moment that I had, I had this. It was like the last day of Black History Month. So I probably wasn't supposed to like, respond like this, but it was like, so did you know that the NAACP is not the NAACP anymore? Like my whole life. You grew up, you say naacp. That's what you say when you're talking about that organization right now. You have to say naacp. You have to say.

[Jason Jolie]

Wait, you can't say double A.

[Yomi Kennedy]

No, you have to say both A's. That's why I have no idea. That's what they want now.

[Jason Jolie]

I heard it. Who's they?

[Yomi Kennedy]

The organization.

[Soulja Boy]

That's how they own it.

[Yomi Kennedy]

You know who they identify as? Aa. That's their pronouns.

[Soulja Boy]

You know that. The others own that.

[Jason Jolie]

Who's the others?

[Soulja Boy]

Oh, shit.

[Jason Jolie]

Hold on.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Those from the Caucus Mountains.

[Jason Jolie]

Wait, wait. White people own the naacp.

[Soulja Boy]

They founded the naacp.

[Jason Jolie]

Wait, you lying. All right, I need you to pull this up.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Hold on.

[Jason Jolie]

The white people founded it. Go ahead.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I believe he's right about founding it because I think that initially. Let me make sure before I say something.

[Soulja Boy]

Keep niggas in check. Oh, I didn't say that. Damn.

[Jason Jolie]

Wait, you. Are we serious?

[Yomi Kennedy]

I thought. Let me see. Founders. I thought the. There are white people there.

[Jason Jolie]

A multiracial group.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Well, I know W.E.B. dubois was one of the. And I didn't English, but yeah, there are some white people. Henry Loskowitz and there were some other people. Dr. Henry Moskowitz. Moskowitz, A white social reformer. Right.

[Jason Jolie]

Anyone with the last name, it's if it in and it.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, it's.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, that ain't none of us. Yeah, that's called. Yeah, those are Caucus Mountains people.

[Soulja Boy]

Mary White Ovington. I'm naming four people before we get to the news. Then you get Ida b. Wells and W.E.B. dubois, which are, you know, esteemed and controversial in their own right.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Fair enough.

[Jason Jolie]

What's the controversy?

[Soulja Boy]

Well, the talented 10th theory concept.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah. The idea of, like, exceptional Negroes is like, some of y' all niggas are valid and some of y' all niggas are invalid because you don't have.

[Jason Jolie]

Oh, we still got that Native Land podcast. I mean, what, bro?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Damn.

[Soulja Boy]

I mean, that was on the docket today.

[Jason Jolie]

No shit.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Fucked.

[Jason Jolie]

I mean, but what y' all are saying, we still got them type of niggas?

[Soulja Boy]

Well, we got them all over the place, though.

[Yomi Kennedy]

All over the place.

[Soulja Boy]

And that's where the whole gatekeeping thing comes into play, kind of in certain aspects, because some of the people who fit that requirement, they do that shit. They keep the talented niggas out.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, the exceptional.

[Soulja Boy]

The exceptional Negro. And what does that look like? Who are the exceptional Negro?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Well, and the thing about it is, is that it's hard.

[Jason Jolie]

I think we kind of exceptional.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I think we.

[Jason Jolie]

Except would we be considered exceptional Negroes?

[Soulja Boy]

No, not to them, I don't think. No, we rebel rousers. We too. They don't want. They don't want. We're not conformists.

[Jason Jolie]

But I have degrees that.

[Soulja Boy]

That. But it's not the degree.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Okay, That's.

[Jason Jolie]

See, a part of them is also, like, the level of education.

[Soulja Boy]

Are you willing to curb your tongue as it relates to the program?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Well, and also it's like, yeah, it's your level of education, but it's how you carry it. Like the same way you were talking about how a Morehouse man carries himself as a Morehouse man. Like, do you carry that thing? And it's funny we're even talking about this because I was just listening to Deontay Kyle's podcast he just did with FD signifier.

[Soulja Boy]

Yes.

[Yomi Kennedy]

And the conversation they had in the middle of that is. FD Signifier is a YouTube essayist. Really smart brother. Lots of good videos. But he has three degrees. Like, he's a sociologist. He was on his way to a PhD when he quit his PhD program to do YouTube.

[Jason Jolie]

Okay.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Deontay is not college educated at all. He's on a podcast, truck driver. He talked about graduating from high school, like a 1.8 GPA. But Deontay had the curiosity to go learn to read, absorb information. And to me, that makes him exceptional. Damn the degrees and all that shit.

[Jason Jolie]

I agree.

[Yomi Kennedy]

But some of these talented tiff type niggas would look at him with a bunch of tattoos and locks and his whole way, he comes across and presents himself as not of the ilk of the exceptional negro and all the other people who believe in that type of shit.

[Soulja Boy]

Would you say the talented 10th is a Jace to house nigga?

[Yomi Kennedy]

It doesn't have to be, but it can be. For sure.

[Jason Jolie]

But even.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Cause like, some of those niggas act like that they are above certain parts of black culture, Certain parts of how we communicate, how we talk amongst ourselves. They act like they're embarrassed. Those are the same type of niggas that would be embarrassed of Captain Durag. Boom.

[Jason Jolie]

Okay?

[Yomi Kennedy]

To me, that's the type of shit that them niggas are. And so it's like, I can't rock with that.

[Soulja Boy]

I'm not, I'm not.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I'm not. I'm good on all of that type of shit. Like, that's not. That's not helpful to anybody's program. And at the end of the day, we need all of us. Like, if. If your brother is not.

[Jason Jolie]

We need all of us if your

[Yomi Kennedy]

brother is not to that level. Bring that nigga up.

[Jason Jolie]

Yeah.

[Soulja Boy]

You know, you know, and I guess we. Black History Month. It ain't no month. It's just forever, bro. It's just. It's ongoing. Our struggle, our commitment to repair is ongoing. Yeah. There was a book called the Destruction of the Black Civilization by Chancellor Williams. And in the book, he talks about how at some point, as we, us, our nation building, we gotta come to a consensus and say, yo, they gotta go because they're impeding our progress. Meaning they. Anybody who are. You know the Peasant tours, the one that's like, yeah, you ain't shit crazy. You know what I'm saying? The Peasant tours, they're like, we gotta deal with that. Cause we can't keep going this way. Cause we still. They're still there. And as long as they have money and power, we gotta have to go through that system, that brick wall.

[Jason Jolie]

The way that we fought Segregation. There's too many ways in which segregation. We are in our own community. Yes, that's what I was gonna say.

[Soulja Boy]

Like, so some people don't have our interests, though, that look like us.

[Jason Jolie]

Well, that's where you get the FBAs versus the Africans. Right.

[Soulja Boy]

Well, that's another. That's a whole nother.

[Yomi Kennedy]

And even with that, that's not a. That's not a separation based off. Do I think that you are distinguished enough? Are you a good enough Negro? Do you have enough respectability politics to keep up? Like, these niggas are ready to divide

[Soulja Boy]

over lineage and because the reparations. Right. So the issue with reparation is that everybody that look like us can't be entitled to it. Because if you're from. I don't know, I mean, I would

[Jason Jolie]

even say, like, my family, like, and I said, my dad's Jamaican. My lineage, sure, there was slavery in Jamaica, but my lineage doesn't come to America. Like, none of my ancestors were slaves.

[Soulja Boy]

So the argument would be.

[Jason Jolie]

But you know what I mean?

[Soulja Boy]

Well, even if they were, the argument would be Jamaica has to make the claim for it as a. If you're indigenous American, which should be, in my opinion, the. That's the word. And I think that's these new phrases of how we got to this point in the first place. When we get African American, not a lot of people can tie themselves to Africa, right? But because how they operated here, the colonists, they removed us from our birthright, from our original names, which allowed them to occupy and take the land. Cause if you're not attached to the land, then you have no nation. What right do you have to be nationality?

[Jason Jolie]

And what you even lean into reparations. The same way we ain't ever going to get world peace. They not giving niggas reparations.

[Soulja Boy]

Well, here's the problem. Everybody's idea of what reparations look like

[Yomi Kennedy]

are different is different.

[Soulja Boy]

For me, it's what was taken. Land. If you take land, the land is the money maker. You don't need to give me. Niggas will fuck up a million dollars tomorrow.

[Jason Jolie]

You know how bro Rilla's spending her money? I'm finna get. Can you imagine Caviar? Let me get a bottle of champagne. Let me get the champagne.

[Soulja Boy]

You give him a YN 250,000. How quick you think you gonna blow it?

[Yomi Kennedy]

You gonna have five Hellcats.

[Soulja Boy]

Niggas gonna be trying to buy mad

[Yomi Kennedy]

drugs, some flip shit, 10 copies of every Nike tech fleet suit. Like, it's just gonna be hold on, hold on.

[Jason Jolie]

Y' all wanna lean into the hypocrisy?

[Soulja Boy]

What's that now?

[Jason Jolie]

That's sounding like the exceptionals talking about.

[Soulja Boy]

No, no, but we know. But think about it, though.

[Yomi Kennedy]

See how fast it drops?

[Jason Jolie]

You see how quick now we talk about them niggas.

[Soulja Boy]

Once you give a Negro money and the Negro spend the money, where else he gonna go to get the rest of it? It's over with. It's over. Then you can't say reparation. You can't ask for no land, nothing. That's a danger in asking for a dollar amount.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, no dollar amount.

[Soulja Boy]

That's gonna equate to what that value was back then as it relates to now in this economy.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, but I mean, we're never gonna get land like what you were talking about earlier as far as being removed from the land, Right? That's the same conversation that went viral last week where Tucker Carlson is interviewing Mike Huckabee. And they're talking about Israel, and they're talking about who has a right to be in Israel. Is Benjamin Netanyahu a real Israeli?

[Jason Jolie]

And like, Mike, they're having the same conversations with Israelis.

[Yomi Kennedy]

So, Mike Huck. So the whole idea of what's going on in Israel is that they're saying that biblically, this is our land. God wanted us to have this land. The people who are Jewish are.

[Soulja Boy]

They say biblically, Biblically, but they don't go by the Bible, right?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, you're right. But they're arguing that this is. They're supposed to be their land by what God wanted. And so it's like, okay, well, how do you go back and argue some of these people who may not have records about who owns this land, who is this land supposed to go to? And so, like, they're not gonna give Negroes land in America, especially in places like New York where there's not. There's not even room to build anything.

[Soulja Boy]

But they're not even asking for it. That's the, that's the issue that I have with us. We're so lazy with this monetary value part of it. And it's like, yo, the bigger issue is land. Because once you remove the land, they could tell you, yo, your ass. We gonna put you over here in fucking Botswana, nigga.

[Jason Jolie]

Just like they did the Native Americans and just kill us with a disease or something and get us, take the land back. Like, it ain't.

[Soulja Boy]

We ain't gonna be land ownership. Home of the free and all that shit. That's the land they took the Land. And they standing on business.

[Jason Jolie]

Now. We're talking about land. We talking about blacks. We talking about us. This is not a sports podcast. But we have to get into how Atlanta is not a real place. And by the way, the more I live here in the south, every time

[Soulja Boy]

she say that, she get a new cover.

[Jason Jolie]

You said that.

[Soulja Boy]

Every time she say that Atlanta's not a real place, she end up on another Atlanta cover.

[Yomi Kennedy]

She'll be in front of AJ Cuz

[Soulja Boy]

I'll tell you how to shoot. I never shoot this week.

[Jason Jolie]

Listen, it's not a real place. It's really not. It's really not. And this thing. I don't know how to click, y'.

[Public Ad]

All.

[Jason Jolie]

I'm working off of an iPad. I don't really know. It's not clicking. Can we. Okay, well, let's get into it. The Atlanta Hawks.

[Soulja Boy]

Oh.

[Jason Jolie]

Are partnering and they have become the first NBA team to partner with the strip club. They are partnering with them on March 16, which is the game against the My Orlando Magic.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Your Orlando Magic.

[Jason Jolie]

My Orlando Magic. Now, let me talk about what all is about to be at this game. And also, there's confusion as to how and why this, like, even took place. But I got a little insight. Now on March 16, the special event will highlight the influence of the iconic club and bring elements of its culture to fans inside State Farm Arena.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yep.

[Jason Jolie]

This is interesting to me because the NBA NBA games are seen as family friendly.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yes.

[Jason Jolie]

I don't know how a strip club is considered family friendly.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Now, Power of the South.

[Jason Jolie]

Now they are also having rap star the King. The King perform at halftime. And they're also bringing a live podcast taping to the beginning of the thing. So fans who arrive early can attend the live podcast recording, which will include Magic city founder Michael, Mr. Magic Barney and T.I. hosted by DC Young.

[Soulja Boy]

Fly.

[Yomi Kennedy]

DC on fly.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Shout out to that.

[Jason Jolie]

They are also bringing the famous lemon pepper wings, including the popular Lou Will lemon pepper barbecue wings, to the arena culture.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Culture.

[Jason Jolie]

Do y' all know or have the tie as to how this happened? Let me tell y'.

[Public Ad]

All.

[Jason Jolie]

Cause some of y' all may not know. The Hawks principal owner.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yes.

[Jason Jolie]

Jamie Gertz, also produced alongside Jermaine Dupri the documentary around Magic City that was on Starz.

[Soulja Boy]

Yep.

[Jason Jolie]

So for anyone who's like, how the hell did this happen, nigga? The principal owner of the team also would produce the docu series Around Magic City. Now, Magic City. Yes. Is a staple and it was executive

[Soulja Boy]

produced by Aubrey Drake, executive producer.

[Jason Jolie]

Yes. The series. This isn't a real place.

[Yomi Kennedy]

It's the greatest place.

[Jason Jolie]

I'm not gonna lie.

[Yomi Kennedy]

It is the most fantastic black community.

[Jason Jolie]

It's the greatest place, but not the realest place.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Both. Two things can be true.

[Jason Jolie]

Two things can be very true. I mean. Okay, thoughts.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I mean, so I think it's great. I think that they found. Also, shout out to my people at the Hawks. Shout out to Max Strauss. Shout out to Narcissus Alekhani. Those are my folks that work in marketing at the Hawks. And yeah, they really pushed the effort for cause. Obviously. Yeah, the team's owner is a filmmaker who did this documentary. But the NBA still has to kind of like sign off on it.

[Jason Jolie]

Oh, I don't think Adam Silver wants this to happen at all, actually.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I think. I actually think Adam Silver is okay with it.

[Jason Jolie]

You think so?

[Yomi Kennedy]

I think because the way it has to, everything is okay. It just has to be posited the right way. They can't have thongs and ass shaking on section 102 in front of the kids and all of that. But what you can do is.

[Jason Jolie]

Do you think they bring stripper poles to the arena?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Nah, I don't think there will be any mention of Magic City as a strip club.

[Jason Jolie]

As a strip club. Okay.

[Soulja Boy]

And I think that's why they emphasizing the cultural part.

[Yomi Kennedy]

The cultural part of it. Even with the wings and stuff. It's sponsored by Magic City Kitchen.

[Soulja Boy]

Jack Daniels.

[Yomi Kennedy]

So I think.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Yomi Kennedy]

So I think what they're doing is they are intentionally avoiding all mentions of strip club, but they are still acknowledging a local business that has been an institution forever and ever. And ever. That draws people from outside of Atlanta.

[Soulja Boy]

Yeah.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Into the city.

[Soulja Boy]

You know? You know, Magic City Kitchen.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah. Right.

[Jason Jolie]

You know how fucked up it is during Women's History Month to not include the women? What do you mean? They not gonna acknowledge. How are you not gonna acknowledge the women that make Magic City cool? The Wings don't make Magic City what it is. The motherfucking niggas who go in there and throw the money. Where you think they throwing the money to? To the women's. Probably not gonna acknowledge the women's at the March 16th.

[Soulja Boy]

That night is gonna turn up.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, it's gonna go. It's gonna go crazy.

[Jason Jolie]

How is the NBA not acknowledging.

[Yomi Kennedy]

But here's the women. No, here's what I say. Here's what I say. I think that the women of Magic City will be in the building. They just not going to be.

[Soulja Boy]

They're gonna be dolled up. They gonna get those Shoes in.

[Yomi Kennedy]

They're gonna be in there in heels and tights.

[Jason Jolie]

You know what? The Hawks can only do it right. Ay, boosie, get to the second row. Facts. A, two chains get to the second row. And I need all the women of Magic City to be courtside.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I'm not mad at that at all.

[Jason Jolie]

Let's put all the women of Magic City courtside.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Dress up. Dress up.

[Jason Jolie]

Yeah.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah. Put all the flash. The entire front row row just full of fat asses and big titties. Yes, do it.

[Soulja Boy]

Do it. But you know what's crazy? They're playing the Orlando Magic.

[Jason Jolie]

They are playing the Magic.

[Soulja Boy]

Which Orlando is in Florida is strip club culture, too.

[Yomi Kennedy]

That's true.

[Jason Jolie]

And Miami is Orlando. You got Orlando. That's the thing they don't got.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, the Mouse owns Orlando.

[Jason Jolie]

No, Orlando.

[Soulja Boy]

Yeah. Mickey Mouse.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, The Mouse owns Orlando. Mouse ain't going for that shit.

[Jason Jolie]

Orlando, it's no coochie, no titties. Like they have to keep the panties on. That's New York. And even the girls, you either have to wear pasties or this is the trick. You ready? You want to know what the women do in Orlando if they don't do pasties? What they do is they cover their nipples with hair glue to make it still look like areolas. But they had to be covered.

[Soulja Boy]

It's a lot of work.

[Jason Jolie]

No, no, shit.

[Soulja Boy]

I would.

[Yomi Kennedy]

So wait, is that. Cause like in la, right? I don't know if it's still this way, but at one point it was like, you can't have full nudity and alcohol in the same room. So was it like that there?

[Jason Jolie]

Or they just have full nudity in Orlando? You gotta drive over to Tampa, Ybor City, Strip Club Central. Or Miami. Or drive down to Miami.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Gotcha.

[Soulja Boy]

Okay.

[Jason Jolie]

Cause I. No shade. Not sure. Jacksonville. But I don't want to drive to Jacksonville.

[Yomi Kennedy]

So why the hell they even have strip clubs in Orlando? Are they making money? Cause like, I'm not going to see no ladies in panties.

[Jason Jolie]

You want to know what's funny about you saying that? It's so funny. Why I think it's odd why they talk about New York strip culture. They can't get naked in New York.

[Soulja Boy]

They can't. Them bitches be. You got to go to a hood booger spot like some hole in the wall shit.

[Jason Jolie]

But it's no even that they're not supposed to be naked. So what's crazy, really. That's why the bartenders got so popular in New York, because they were in the same amount of clothes.

[Yomi Kennedy]

That makes a lot more sense now. Cause I used to people be talking about this starlets and this, all this shit. And I used to just think like, oh, it must be. That's just where it's popping in New York at. I didn't realize that New York had no nudity.

[Jason Jolie]

And you ready? The bbls hold the girls down so bad in New York, you don't even get the tricks. At least in Magic City they going for it. Yeah, they're like. You feel like you're at the Barnum and Baileys.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, you're getting a show.

[Public Ad]

A real.

[Jason Jolie]

You are getting everything but the animals and clowns. Well, no, the clowns are at the clowns.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I wasn't saying the clowns are there. The clowns are there.

[Jason Jolie]

The clowns are at Magic City. But no, like they're actually putting on a show. They're entertaining in New York. They just walk around like, put the

[Soulja Boy]

money in the street.

[Jason Jolie]

Cause I bought a bbl.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, right, right. I'm standing here and shake a little something for you and then go about my beer. Nah, fuck that.

[Jason Jolie]

Yeah. But no, I'm excited about this. I will say the ticket prices where normally you could get a two hundreds ticket at State Farmerita for about $30.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Not this night.

[Jason Jolie]

They're starting at 200. Yeah, they are starting at 200. There are three, four, five, six, $7,000 tickets for courtside.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Make it rain, bitch. Make it rain.

[Jason Jolie]

So it is expensive and they are. I really love it. I don't know if I sent y' all the link. There is a pre order link for people to purchase.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, the hoodie, the hoodie. I need that hoodie though.

[Jason Jolie]

So it's a Magic City hoodie.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Absolutely.

[Jason Jolie]

The Atlanta Hawks logo is on the arm. It is $125.

[Yomi Kennedy]

It is $125.

[Jason Jolie]

$125.

[Yomi Kennedy]

The photo of it looks like it's heavy quality.

[Jason Jolie]

It looks nice.

[Yomi Kennedy]

It looks like a nice hoodie. Not like no gilding.

[Jason Jolie]

But also they could have just went to chatgpt and said, make this look like heavy material. Make it look quality.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Make it look like it's supposed to be good.

[Jason Jolie]

Yeah, but it looks really nice.

[Soulja Boy]

So I got to pay $250 to go to this shit for a. That's 30 and 31. That's not gonna make the playoffs.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Hey, man, support the women, man.

[Soulja Boy]

I go to Maddie City.

[Jason Jolie]

Then

[Soulja Boy]

we be on Mandy's. She have a 12 of 12 passenger capacity to go to strip clubs.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, oh yeah. Oh yeah.

[Soulja Boy]

I didn't realize Cheetah was closing.

[Jason Jolie]

Cheetah is closing at the end of the year.

[Soulja Boy]

Yeah, that's why. That's probably why we got up.

[Jason Jolie]

You've never been to Cheetah.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, you gotta go to Cheetah.

[Jason Jolie]

I'm not gonna lie. I'll take it to Cheetah. I'll be taking everybody.

[Yomi Kennedy]

You gotta have a nice dinner. Go to Cheetah. Go to Cheetah. Eat a good steak. You're in the steak. Yeah.

[Soulja Boy]

Yeah.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Eat a good steak and cheat. Yeah. Not. Not this. Not the 70 steak.

[Soulja Boy]

No. You're gonna have an argument with street from New Orleans. You're gonna be at this spot.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah. Get the 35 Chimichurri steak.

[Jason Jolie]

No, you just gonna get here, go here. Go right here.

[Jason Jolie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Yomi Kennedy]

But, yeah, there's gonna be dorms.

[Soulja Boy]

State Farm is the dope arena, though, so.

[Jason Jolie]

I do like State Farm. Aren't you? I'm not gonna lie. But also, it's the only arena. This is why Atlanta, bro. They have a Taylor Port bar.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yep.

[Jason Jolie]

At fucking State Farm, that is, bro.

[Soulja Boy]

They got the swag shop. Get the haircut killer Mike.

[Jason Jolie]

They have Taylor Port as a sponsor.

[Soulja Boy]

Taylor Port is crazy.

[Jason Jolie]

In motherfucking State Farm Arena. It's not real.

[Soulja Boy]

When the last time you drank Taylor Port?

[Mandy B.]

Never.

[Jason Jolie]

I was going. Do you think I choose to drink Taylor Port? Like, I actually feel so. Like, this morning, I drank Martinelli's, and I said, ooh, I'm a fancy.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Jolie]

Once you drink Martinelli's, you feel a little rich.

[Yomi Kennedy]

It make you feel different.

[Soulja Boy]

You like.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Hold on, Wait.

[Jason Jolie]

It comes in a glass bottle.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Okay.

[Jason Jolie]

What the hell is that, girl? I ain't drinking no goddamn teleport. I ain't drinking no goddamn teleport. Use that one. Oh, sponsors.

[Greenlight Ad]

All.

[Jason Jolie]

I don't even know who this man is, but he made. He made news this week because his fiance decided to not only embarrass him, but she embarrassed herself. Ladies, sometimes you should just keep some things to yourself.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Go to the grave with it.

[Jason Jolie]

Now there was about a four minute video. I'm not gonna play it. But she, his, I guess ex fiance now detailed pretty much the timeline of her day and the timeline of his. So he proposed to his girlfriend and apparently he was also still in communication with his ex girlfriend.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yes.

[Jason Jolie]

Who decided to. I'm just gonna. Can I read the text message?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, I wanna hear.

[Jason Jolie]

I wanna hear it also. This is how it got to her, by the way. So.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, Dr. Umar would not be proud of him.

[Jason Jolie]

Listen, he.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I didn't realize that that was going on. I'm sitting here doing all white women wrong. Now he's doing it wrong.

[Jason Jolie]

12:22am so by the way, at the. This is terrible. So he proposed and before he proposed, he asked when. Oh, wait, no. First it was the throat. Where's the throat at?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Where's the throat?

[Jason Jolie]

Where's the throat?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Where'd that throat at?

[Jason Jolie]

Do you have it? Do you have it pulled up? Cause I have the. Second I have it. Go ahead and read. Go ahead and read it. From a man. This is really great. I need you to read what these text messages were. Go ahead.

[Soulja Boy]

February 19th at 9:09am Whatever team I visit, we can just meet there. And when I come and when I come down there, then at 1:07am I need to see you. Like I don't know no, no, no.

[Jason Jolie]

So wait, you got to go down to. So the day that you proposed was February 21st.

[Soulja Boy]

And then at February 21st, he goes at 9:11am Damn.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Fresh off the.

[Soulja Boy]

Let me give you a disclaimer. Pause. Knead your throat.

[Jason Jolie]

Need your throat.

[Soulja Boy]

Need your. That's what you wrote at 9am Somebody sends. Man, he ever got a message like that at 9am hold on.

[Jason Jolie]

Here's the thing too, guys. He proposed to his girl at about 1pm that day. But knowing you were gonna propose to your lady, you texting your ex, Dicey. Boo. Hold on. Can I also tell you what else happened after the proposal? At 12:22am this is now midnight. He texts, when can I nut in you and fuck you like I want?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yup. Damn.

[Jason Jolie]

So you start the day off by asking for the throat. Then you end the day after you done proposed to a whole nother woman. When can you nut in your ex? Now, the reason why and how these text messages got out to the public. I guess the ex girlfriend didn't know she was the ex. I guess she still thought that she was dating this man.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, she thought it was the relationship. Okay, that was gonna be my question.

[Jason Jolie]

So when the proposal came out on social media, she decided to screenshot these text messages and send it to the fiance and said, you know what? I'm blowing all this shit up. You ain't got him. I ain't got him. He lied to both of us. Now you asked me a question. Here's the thing. I don't even like sucking dick at 9:00 clock in the morning. So knee throat at 9.

[Soulja Boy]

11.

[Jason Jolie]

To me, that's not how I wanna start my day. It's kind of disrespectful. Ask me how I slept. Ask me if I had breakfast first. Hey, did you eat, like, knead that throat at 9? 11 is like, yo, you done had. What type of morning are you having?

[Soulja Boy]

When can I nut in you and fuck you like I want? That's a problem because I think about Zion. I don't want to put him out there like that.

[Jason Jolie]

You think about Zion when you think about nothing in the morning?

[Soulja Boy]

No, no, no, no, no. Not about that, but just about the consequences of these actions, Right? Just out here slinging dick all over the place, like, with no thinking that

[Yomi Kennedy]

it's not I'm a nut in you.

[Jason Jolie]

These niggas just giving it how. Boy, the women, that's what they doing, what they did. They just throwing at them.

[Soulja Boy]

But then what happened when you got

[Yomi Kennedy]

to go to court?

[Jason Jolie]

Here's my thing.

[Matt Rogers]

Huh?

[Jason Jolie]

Here's my thing. To be honest. Here's the ignorance of her. Girl, you dating an athlete, and you

[Soulja Boy]

gave him the throat.

[Jason Jolie]

They're gonna. These men are gonna cheat.

[Soulja Boy]

Yep.

[Jason Jolie]

That is what you sign up for when you date an athlete. Actually, it's what you sign up for when you date a man that work at FedEx. These men are gonna cheat. I think it's just seeing it.

[Soulja Boy]

He didn't do a white woman right in Black history Month.

[Jason Jolie]

Actually, I think both of these women are white.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I just don't like the timing of it is so crazy, though, because it's like, how did you think this was gonna play out? Like, you thought that you was gonna propose to your fiance.

[Soulja Boy]

Yep.

[Yomi Kennedy]

And the other girl wasn't gonna say nothing. You thought it was just gonna slide. Like, she was that stupid or she was that.

[Jason Jolie]

I have a friend that did that. She found out the man that she had been sleeping with for about five years that she assumed to be her man, at least one of her main men.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Right.

[Jason Jolie]

He proposed. She saw it on the Facebook, and she still continued to deal with him.

[Soulja Boy]

Well, that's understanding, but. That's understanding. But in this scenario, I don't think that was that understanding.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, I was gonna say, you don't need to have a con. Like, I don't know what the relationship was with him and the other girl, but, like, bro, you don't. You don't vet this situation. You don't. Like, I know niggas who cheat who would be like, yo, listen, you know, I got a situation at home. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't think that makes it better, but at least you're trying to create some level of transparency so that you don't get this right here. But, like, you gonna act like you was trying to get some throat and she wasn't gonna blow up your spot. She got a digital footprint and she wasn't gonna turn up on it.

[Jason Jolie]

Do you think she should have told us all this? Like, who does this embarrass more? Like when a woman comes down and says it? Like, I think because I'm not gonna hold you kneed throat is a crazy text message, but unfortunately, this shit's not embarrassing for men. It's not embarrassing him.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I think in this situation, it might be more embarrassing for him because of the proposal.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Like, if it was just a nigga cheating on his girlfriend or whatever. He didn't. He was like, ah, okay, whatever. You look extra, extra crazy when you propose to this lady.

[Jason Jolie]

Like, and still. And asking for throat.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Her daddy might want to see you now. Her daddy might be like, oh, yeah, that's how you carry my daughter. Okay, cool. Like, her uncle might want to see you now. Her brother might want to see you now.

[Jason Jolie]

No, they don't talk. You know what? Actually, you know what's happening during Black History Month. They all telling her, you shouldn't have been with that. We told you not to go. We told you not to go. Black. Like, her white family is just like, well, this is what you get for going that. Anyways, sorry to that, man. Sorry to that lady in 2026. I don't know if we don't care, bro, I ain't gonna hold you. I don't care.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, I don't really care.

[Jason Jolie]

I don't care about this shit. All right, well, let's get into. This is America.

[Soulja Boy]

Don't got you slipping, though.

[Jason Jolie]

But also, this is the world. I think we have to go there.

[Yomi Kennedy]

This is the globe that we live.

[Jason Jolie]

This is the world. Where are we starting? Y' all tell me where y' all want to start. Again, I am under the assumption that we are literally now entering World War III to distract us from the Epstein files.

[Yomi Kennedy]

So where do we want to go talk to? I mean, we can start with what's going on.

[Soulja Boy]

I don't know if I even believe that anymore.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Well, that's what I was gonna get to.

[Soulja Boy]

Cause what is the consequence of this shit? Even if we saw the fucking Epstein file, the most egregious things was in there, which we assume what is. Then what? We go fake outrage? We gonna go tweet and yell and scream and holler to the mountaintops of threads and everything and other platforms.

[Jason Jolie]

I mean, in the other countries, people are being removed. People are resigning.

[Soulja Boy]

Yeah.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Other places.

[Jason Jolie]

What's the craziest? In the US we getting apologies. That's it. So this week, both Bill Clinton and Bill Gates have issued apologies. Hillary Clinton is trying to say she don't know that nigga.

[Yomi Kennedy]

She said, I never met that man before in my life talking to Bill about that shit.

[Jason Jolie]

She's removing herself also. How embarrassing, bro. As a woman, that's the embarrassing part. Like, Hillary, you already had to deal with Monica Lewinsky right now.

[Yomi Kennedy]

You done had spin the block with this shit. And you still with him, bro.

[Jason Jolie]

You still with him.

[Yomi Kennedy]

You still with him.

[Jason Jolie]

What more does this man have to do to embarrass you?

[Soulja Boy]

Like, everybody got a price.

[Yomi Kennedy]

The interesting thing about the Clinton deposition part to me was that they were trying to Push for this to be a public deposition. And Congress didn't want that. They wanted it to be behind closed doors.

[Jason Jolie]

Why?

[Yomi Kennedy]

That's the million dollar question. Why? What are you, like, their thing is, I think they're trying to put on a show because ultimately, as crazy as Bill Clinton looks for being in the Epstein files, there aren't any accusations against Bill Clinton. There aren't any accusers saying, Bill Clinton did this to me. There's no mention of him being doing anything in there.

[Jason Jolie]

It's just Bill Gates, we have him doing.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, Bill Gates has his dirt on his jacket.

[Jason Jolie]

And what's also crazy is we don't have really any acts, but in terms of Deepak Chopra, he was in there like, pretty much saying, I'm glad you got away with the charges. I like little girl. He done said some things.

[Yomi Kennedy]

By the way, Deepak choked us a while back.

[Jason Jolie]

In the statement that he released, he said, I unequivocally condemn abuse and exploitation in all forms. I don't know how he's getting away with that after reading what some of those email exchanges were saying.

[Yomi Kennedy]

He was talking about, my focus is on the victims. Your focus is not on the victim. What are you doing? What have you said or did anything in support of the victims? Like, what are you talking about now?

[Jason Jolie]

In a statement, he also insisted that he was never involved in nor did he participate in any criminal or exploitive conduct in connection with Epstein.

[Yomi Kennedy]

But see, the thing with his statement, I feel like in just reading it, the vibe I got was that, like, ask me no questions, I tell you no lie, like he might have. It felt to me like he knew maybe some of this wasn't on the up and up. Maybe some of these girls were underage, but I don't know that. So I have the plausible deniability to just act like, I don't know, like there was an email that they, that they released in the. That was in the Epstein files where Deepak Chopra said, God is a construct, but cute girls are real. That I'm like, nigga, what? Like, that's a crazy ass statement. So for me, it just made me think like, okay, you kind of. You probably felt the vibe that this is suspect, but you're gonna roll with it and just act like you don't know what's happening. It was many emails he saw. Bring your girls, bring your girls and all of this.

[Jason Jolie]

And by the way, do y' all wanna know his goddamn response to. To that email specifically? Oh, yeah, he said, I regret that and understand how they read Today, given what was publicly known at the time, my focus now remains on supporting accountability prevention and efforts. You know what's crazy about this? This is the goddamn quote, unquote, accountability y' all wanted from Tyra Banks. He's saying, I get how they read today, but back then, I ain't.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Back then, I didn't know nothing what was going on.

[Jason Jolie]

But also. And now what. And now what? What does accountability look like? Like, all that shit done already been done. What you did didn't happen.

[Yomi Kennedy]

He's going to jump.

[Jason Jolie]

What does justice look like for all these motherfuckers in these files? What does it look like? Realistically?

[Yomi Kennedy]

I don't think there's a single person who is gonna see time behind bars for any of this, really. I think in America.

[Jason Jolie]

In America.

[Yomi Kennedy]

In America, I don't know about these. Maybe England, they're not playing around, but, like, maybe after.

[Soulja Boy]

New president, new staff, new attorneys, new. All of that, you think that they would go back and say, hey, come back over here, brother.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Maybe. But, I mean, I don't know the statute of limitations on all on the actual accusations for some of these people.

[Jason Jolie]

Like, especially considering we saw. In terms of statute of limitations, like, that's why Cassie and all these people came out at a certain time. Because if this shit was happening in the early 2000s. Yeah. Like. And we think of. Can you charge someone for what they did 20 years ago? Now we do. But Bill, not. Look, another Bill. Bill Cosby. How did he. He only got tried for certain crimes because of the sexual assault.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Because. Yeah, he did. Yeah. Bill Cosby didn't go down for. I don't think Bill Cosby was actually imprisoned for the alleged sexual assaults.

[Jason Jolie]

What. What was he in?

[Yomi Kennedy]

I. I believe it. I believe Bill Cosby went down for the drugging. Let me see.

[Jason Jolie]

For just the drugging.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I think it was just the drugs.

[Jason Jolie]

Same with R. Kelly. Cause he. He reached that to.

[Soulja Boy]

So he was. Three counts of aggravated indecent assault, drugging for drugging, sexually assault. So I remember two years.

[Jason Jolie]

So that's what I'm saying.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah. I just. I feel like in America, it's just gonna be a smearing of your name. But also, even with Deepak Chopra, like, these are all things that look and sound terrible, and we all look at them be like, you're a piece of shit. But no one is accusing Deepak Chopra of anything. Like, I don't. There's no accuser. So it's like to have a crime to even hold him accountable for, somebody has to accuse him of something. So it's like, all you'll get is we're not giving the public is not giving anybody the benefit of the doubt, who is pretty much in these files in certain kind of ways. So that's all you can get, is we're gonna smear your name and we're gonna say you're a piece of shit predator.

[Jason Jolie]

Now you bringing that up. This is one of the most interesting things that floated across my goddamn feed this last week. The New York Times pissed me off.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, man.

[Jason Jolie]

I don't know if y' all know. It's a journalist by the name of Margo Kaplan. Mm. Now, she wrote an article back in 2014 that, for whatever reason, they chose to highlight today and place on as the COVID of the New York Times. Now, she wrote an article back in 2014 that was pretty much saying that pedophilia should be seen as a disorder and not be criminalized. And essentially, she argued that the provisions of the Americans with disabilities act of 1990 and section 504 of the Rehabilitation act of 1973 should exclude pedophiles from protection. That. Well, currently it excludes pedophiles from protection, but she said that that should be reconsidered. And she's basically leaning into how pedophilia is something that could be rehabilitized.

[Soulja Boy]

It's a disorder.

[Jason Jolie]

That. It's a disorder, and that can, with confidential psychiatric treatment, could be something that could be removed from someone's minds and thoughts. And for me, at a time where a lot of these Epstein files is highlighting that a lot of our fucking leaders and powerful people are fucking pedophiles, to bring this to even the forefront at a time like, this is disgusting.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah. Like, what do you.

[Soulja Boy]

You want to see who you was before you got here?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, pretty much. But, like, what is the. There's no societal benefit to that. Like, she's talking about, like, confidential. If there's a pedophile in the neighborhood, we need to know that.

[Jason Jolie]

We need to know that.

[Yomi Kennedy]

It could be the teacher, it could be the bus driver, it could be the cop, it could be the pastor. Like, the public needs to know that other medical things. If you have bipolar disorder and you have episodes where you do shit, that's totally different thing. That's your medical history and all those things.

[Jason Jolie]

Mind you. Mind you, this is what else she criticized, which is nuts. She criticized pedophilia laws for emphasizing punishment, not prevention, because these laws, according to her, ignore pedophilia until the commission of a sexual offense. Duh. Here's the thing. And we were talking about this off mic, but no one should go to jail because of their thoughts, right? I could say I'm thinking of killing somebody.

[Yomi Kennedy]

You have to do the act.

[Jason Jolie]

You have to do the act. So when it comes to pedophiles. Yes. There's no prevention, because until they play with a little kid, you don't have to.

[Yomi Kennedy]

How the fuck would you know?

[Soulja Boy]

You know the video we shared in the group chat that we have? I'm not even calling a podcaster. The guy that was on mics said that when he was holding a baby in his hand, he's like, when you hold a baby in your hand, you get an erection, bro.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, right.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Soulja Boy]

I watched that shit three times, and I was like, did I hear this right?

[Yomi Kennedy]

He said, wait, wait, can we get a hard time? Wait, wait, wait.

[Jason Jolie]

Can we. Can we play that?

[Soulja Boy]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Jason Jolie]

Can we play that?

[Yomi Kennedy]

He's like, bro, speak for yourself.

[Jason Jolie]

No, no, no.

[Soulja Boy]

This type of shit going on, bro.

[Jason Jolie]

No, let's be very clear. This is not a. He's a king. Is not summarizing this. Like, we misinterpreted it, right? This motherfucker literally said that when you hold a baby, you get hard. Like, you get an erection. What?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Jail? Prison? Right now?

[Jason Jolie]

Like, throw away the key. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Soulja Boy]

I'mma play the clip.

[Jason Jolie]

Okay.

[Mandy B.]

The Two Bears One Cave podcast with

[Jason Jolie]

Bert Kreischer is one of the most disturbing podcasts. Bert shared a story about the first time he was holding his child alone. He said no one warned him about

[Mandy B.]

certain physical reactions, and he admitted he

[Jason Jolie]

was confused and thought something was wrong with him.

[Mandy B.]

People in the room laughed while he told the story. A lot of viewers said they felt uncomfortable watching it.

[Jason Jolie]

Some people said this kind of joke should not be part of comedy, especially

[Mandy B.]

when it involves parenting.

[Soulja Boy]

A lot of people keep dads in the dark. Like, first time you hang out and hold your kid by yourself, you're gonna get hard.

[Jason Jolie]

He literally said that. He literally said that. And so maybe that's what.

[Soulja Boy]

But you know, they hide behind comedy, right?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Jokes.

[Soulja Boy]

You made a choice, brother. Yeah, like, there's no. Even if that was something that would have landed 20 years ago, the climate don't. And that's crazy to even think that, right? The climate don't support that for you to say now. Cause nobody like, oh, yeah, dude, you know what? I got hard on, too.

[Yomi Kennedy]

And when he says that, what are you looking for?

[Matt Rogers]

Community.

[Yomi Kennedy]

You're looking for niggas to come out and be like, yeah, that shit Happened to me. Like, whoa, go for it.

[Jason Jolie]

I think where we talk about, like, the rewriting of history. It's really scary right now what's happening with people trying to literally absolve them of these terrible things that clearly, not only were they hunching kids, y', all, they was eating babies. Not only were they eating babies. I don't know if y' all saw the dentist. So the girlfriend of Epstein was allegedly in the will and was supposed to receive $100 million. Now she's a Russian dentist that was also removing the teeth of these children. So, yes, she was removing the teeth of these children that they were playing with, I guess, because when they were getting rid of the children, they didn't want dental records to be able to identify these kids. So she's now not getting anything that was left in the will. The government has all of his assets frozen and all that shit. But literally, Epstein was leaving this woman $100 million. There was a woman outside of Ghislaine. He had a girlfriend literally removing the teeth of the children, Y'. All. When y' all get into these, what was really happening? It's disgusting.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah. Nah, it's some really gross shit.

[Jason Jolie]

It's gross fucking shit. And right now we have these powerful people not only distracting us with maybe these missiles and everything, and we're about to get into that, but we have now comedians, powerful people, journalists, someone like the New York Times, bringing light to the fact that maybe we should question pedophiles, because maybe we should have empathy. Maybe they can be rehabilitized. We shouldn't punish them. We should work on preventing these urges and these.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Well, you know, there was a push to. There was a push. I don't even know when it started, but, like, to not call them pedophiles and to call them minor attracted persons and, like, all of this. Yeah, like, it was a thing where it was like, yo, let's reframe how we talk about these things. And I'm just like, I don't know what y' all trying to do here.

[Jason Jolie]

Y' all want to remove critical race theory. Y' all want to rewrite the history of the country. Y' all want to reverse Roe v. Wade and take away the rights of women to, like.

[Yomi Kennedy]

But.

[Jason Jolie]

But let's go ahead and allow pedophilia find a way to, like, what. What are we fucking talking about?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, I don't know what's going on no more.

[Jason Jolie]

Who is writing the script? This movie is on Tyler Perry.

[Yomi Kennedy]

He's a solo writer, bro.

[Jason Jolie]

This, like, it's becoming scary. And like I said at the top of the show, like, it's getting to the point where I don't want to open my phone. Because when I'm opening my phone, I'm seeing that a girl's school is being blown up by this.

[Yomi Kennedy]

By us, by us, by us, by us. In our incomparable Israeli co signers who just stand like, we can't. What's going on right now with America and Israel is.

[Jason Jolie]

Let's talk about.

[Yomi Kennedy]

It's just. It's fucked up on like multiple levels, right?

[Jason Jolie]

Multiple.

[Yomi Kennedy]

What is one thing where people are looking at, you know, what's happening with the Palestinians. But it's like this relationship with Israel has gone like. It's probably like an understatement to say that this has gone too far. Like the way that Netanyahu seems to have Trump wrapped around his finger to get done whatever they want to get done is like some real Geppetto, Pinocchio puppeteer type shit.

[Jason Jolie]

No, literally. Literally. It's crazy because I saw this tweet that was like, oh, is this what they're doing? Because do you see how no one's talking about the cartel and everything happening in Mexico anymore? The news cycle has literally switched. And I saw this tweet that said that this is a part of the psychological way in which they want to control us and keep us in fear constantly.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Well, that.

[Soulja Boy]

Well, that's the goal. Right when the elections happened. This was part of the playbook which we was presented in that manual that I won't promote here. Oh, yeah, but this is their playbook. Desensitize how we feel about things that happen, or we get quick doses of it and that's it. But meanwhile, it could be a full out extent of context that we're missing because we're not getting coverage on it. CNN was just purchased with the whole thing with the Paramount deal. Right?

[Jason Jolie]

That's. Yeah.

[Soulja Boy]

How does that change?

[Jason Jolie]

Maybe we add that to the bonus episode too. Cause it's really interesting to see that.

[Soulja Boy]

Well, the buyer said, hey, relax, we're not trying to. But that sounds good.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Until.

[Soulja Boy]

Until. And we gonna be on it. Cause we watching this shit, we're like, oh, all right. That sounds different. Yeah, this sounds different.

[Yomi Kennedy]

This seems like the old channel that I used to know.

[Jason Jolie]

Yeah, but it's what we saw with them wanting to own TikTok the way they're trying to own the media, because they want us to only receive one side of the story. Like, it's how we. Which is Why I love podcasting so much.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Because you actually. Free.

[Jason Jolie]

Yeah. Until we're not like Jimmy Kim. Until we're not.

[Soulja Boy]

But with responsibility too.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Right?

[Soulja Boy]

Not everybody exerts that.

[Yomi Kennedy]

That's true.

[Soulja Boy]

That's the issue.

[Jason Jolie]

But there's a lot, because we just talked about another podcast that talked about getting hard while holding his bait.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Holding a bait, yeah.

[Jason Jolie]

So like, you know, there's two sides to the coin. But this is what I'm seeing, like seeing Dubai get hit, seeing Qatar get hit, seeing all the, like we're witnessing all these missile strikes. All like. And we're seeing it, we're seeing it to me, and it's curious. So the conversation is when, not if, but when they reach U.S. soil.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah. I mean, at a certain point, you know, you can only push people so far. The pendulum always swings back the other way. It's just, what is it? Is it a plane that gets shot down overseas? Is it a.

[Jason Jolie]

The missiles? Right now the Iranian missiles cannot reach

[Yomi Kennedy]

us, cannot get this far.

[Jason Jolie]

Correct. However, their allies are Russia and China. And China got big bank. You want to talk about big, big bank, big bank take little bank, they shit on us. So if they get their allies involved

[Yomi Kennedy]

in this, and now we're talking about, like, we're not just talking about retaliation, we're talking about money. An all out war with China. Specifically, like China gets their oil from the Middle east, from Iran.

[Jason Jolie]

Well, they said there's about 20% of the oil right now that is literally like now held up, cut off.

[Yomi Kennedy]

And so if this gets to be a situation to where like the United States steps in and they're putting boots on the ground and they're commandeering pathways for export and import and all these types, like, it's going to be a problem and it's gonna get real ugly real fast. And there's a lot of things that are, when you start to read about, kind of like the reaction to seeing people in Iran has been interesting because you look at the videos, there's a lot of people cheering. There's a lot of people who are glad that the Ayatollah is dead, because

[Soulja Boy]

I think that is crazy. And are they or is that what they just showing us too?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Well, no, I think a lot of people are happy because they've been under this regime, people getting killed in the streets for 40, 50 years. So there are a lot of people who wanted to see this regime gone, but they're also at the same time scared about what's to come next. Killing that man doesn't crumble the infrastructure of the Islamic regime over there. Like someone else is going to come and take power. And a lot of times when these things get destabilized, what you get after isn't necessarily better than what you had before. So while people are happy because they're

[Jason Jolie]

saying that now I know we want Trump gone, but.

[Yomi Kennedy]

And that's what I was going to say. Yeah, right.

[Jason Jolie]

That nigga's the devil.

[Yomi Kennedy]

And if someone were to come from a foreign land and off Trump. Yeah. There would be people in the streets of America cheering because we hate Trump.

[Soulja Boy]

Good point, good point.

[Jason Jolie]

But good point.

[Yomi Kennedy]

It doesn't mean that now Maga is gone, the Project 2025 is gone. This playbook and this agenda is gone. That's just the representation of the man who we're holding responsible for doing the shit to us. But until things get. We'll see how this shakes out. But there's still a really good chance that the people of Iran could still be subjugated under a terroristic type regime when all of this shit is over.

[Soulja Boy]

So like Afghanistan with the Taliban.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah.

[Jason Jolie]

Mind you going back to that time.

[Soulja Boy]

Cause they're in control right now.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Cause they're in control.

[Jason Jolie]

Possible ignorant take.

[Soulja Boy]

And they're causing conflict with Pakistan. See?

[Jason Jolie]

Possible ignorant thought. Growing up in Orlando, the fear was that when 911 happened that either the Space center or Disney would be hit. So there was fear in Orlando about terrorists plotting on Orlando as a target.

[Soulja Boy]

Right.

[Jason Jolie]

Of course. Living in New York. Oh baby, every day I'm walking I feel like terrorists.

[Yomi Kennedy]

It's scary. Yeah.

[Jason Jolie]

New York has that feel that of course New York will get hit. I was like, well I'm in Atlanta, they not hitting Atlanta.

[Yomi Kennedy]

What they come up with, what would

[Jason Jolie]

they hit in Atlanta? Now I did think, okay, the CDC is here, but I don't know if they care about the center of Disease Control.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I can see the cdc. I mean the CDC is always a target nowadays because, you know, during COVID time, people thought that the CDC was full of shit. They're telling lies to the people. So just for a regular. Every day the security of the CDC is high level because shit can go on. But other than that.

[Soulja Boy]

But with the new administration, they canceled cdc. They said fuck them, they need the ballot no more. Well, they still funding though, right?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Why would that be?

[Soulja Boy]

But they still operate. But why would they be. It wouldn't matter to them if they hit that.

[Jason Jolie]

But so that's what I'm saying. Is there anywhere in Atlanta that a foreign entity would want to hit?

[Soulja Boy]

I think they would hit anywhere that

[Jason Jolie]

has maybe the airport.

[Soulja Boy]

Well, they could be there.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Harshaw Jackson is the busiest airport International

[Soulja Boy]

also with any area in the States. They would probably look at military areas. Military bases.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, I mean there are many ones here scattered around the Atlanta area and some south of Atlanta.

[Soulja Boy]

Well, even now some of the defense. Right. They're going after military bases in that Qatar and Bahrain.

[Jason Jolie]

I'm not gonna lie. This is draining.

[Soulja Boy]

that I'm seeing so BRICS, right, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt.

[Yomi Kennedy]

In my mind I knew what you were talking about, but the song didn't play in my mind.

[Jason Jolie]

Why are we going to cocaine.

[Soulja Boy]

A group of major emerging economies include 10 full members, which is Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Yeah, so I'm looking at that. Those countries, those 10, one of their partners is being attacked. How does that impact that? Right? Which is some may say that this is an effort to dethrone the dollar, the US Dollar, right by them.

[Jason Jolie]

Oh, let's be very clear. Our dollar don't mean shit going.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Nah, it doesn't mean it's already being.

[Soulja Boy]

Because those BRIC nations represent over 40% of the world's population and 39% of the global GDP.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, it's a major part.

[Soulja Boy]

So that's an issue. Yeah, I would imagine, for sure.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I mean, and the other part of it is, too, is that Trump did all of this with no approval from Congress. Like, this is essentially starting a war. Like, he didn't have approval to do this. He just did what he wanted to do. So now it looks doubly crazy where it's like, okay, y' all don't seem to have control over your country. Your president is doing whatever the fuck he wants to do, and he's starting this conflict that's gonna infect all of these other countries. We got a midterm election coming up

[Jason Jolie]

that ain't even really being discussed.

[Soulja Boy]

But here's the play the underplay for the overplay. When they came to Fulton county looking for those ballots from 2000. Now, I don't know if you saw. I saw a headline that says Iran and China was interfering with the 2000 elect. The 2020 election, right? And I'm like, what? This 2026, even if that was the case. So I'm like, there has to be a reason for that, right? I believe the ultimate end game is to poke the beer in China. And I don't want to poke up that beer. I don't want to leave that beer alone, bro.

[Yomi Kennedy]

But, you know, but with Trump, it's like everything is ego driven. Like, you're not gonna be able to tell him that he's not the biggest swinging dick on the block. And anybody else who's coming around here, you gotta deal with me.

[Jason Jolie]

According to south park, it's the little.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, it's Norrie Daniels. It's a little hard.

[Soulja Boy]

Tell it.

[Jason Jolie]

It's a little thumb.

[Soulja Boy]

Do you ever think that Mr. Winky, this Donald is the same Donald from the pictures and video we've seen when him and his highlight of celebrity with

[Yomi Kennedy]

the Artist, with Al Sharpton, with Jesse Jackson, Just the same person with Eddie Murphy.

[Soulja Boy]

Not to say that.

[Jason Jolie]

What do you mean? Is this the same person? What do you mean by that?

[Soulja Boy]

I know it's an ignorant take right here. This is.

[Jason Jolie]

Oh, go ahead and get ignorant. I want to hear it.

[Soulja Boy]

And I say this with full compassion to the Central Park Five and Raymond Santana and those brothers. But there seemed to be an idea of who he was. Cause he was immersed in Celebrity culture as it relates to now in politics. Like, those same people, he's like, fuck them in their thoughts and their opinions of what I'm doing.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, probably.

[Soulja Boy]

Or I've been like this the whole time, so I don't give a fuck.

[Jason Jolie]

You never watched his show?

[Soulja Boy]

What? Apprentice.

[Jason Jolie]

The Apprentice.

[Soulja Boy]

Not really.

[Jason Jolie]

I loved it, by the way. That was a great show. Yeah, great show. But I think he. I don't think he's ever really cared about what anyone's thought of him at all. There's always been the ego. But also, let's be very clear with his same rhetoric, he has people that are still wanting to stand by him, that are still publicly agreeing with him. And these are celebrities. Celebrities still like, you know what I mean?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Well, ultimately, Donald Trump. I think Donald Trump's main thing is that he wants to feel powerful. He wants to be liked. He wants that wherever he can get it from. I don't think he cares about it.

[Jason Jolie]

You think he wants to be liked?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, I think he wants to be liked very badly.

[Soulja Boy]

But why would he. Why is he. Why does he want that so much? Like, what is it?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Well, I mean that, you know, if

[Soulja Boy]

you got all the money, you got all the power, you got all the.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, but, like, if he has. If he has daddy issues, if he has stuff that happened in his childhood that just makes him, you know, we're all affected by.

[Soulja Boy]

Billionaires have daddy issues.

[Jason Jolie]

Oh, my God, I told you, everybody need to go see the lady.

[Yomi Kennedy]

And probably worse, because, like, his daddy issues are probably exacerbated by the fact that, you know, his father was. His father was the one that really made the bread, that made the money. So it's like, maybe you feel like you have to live up to that standard. And even in that, like, your daddy seeded you your first million dollars to be able to go off and try to become something with your life. So I think that the idea of Donald Trump wanted to be liked. I think that is a major motivating factor for him. I just don't think he cares who likes him as long as it's somebody. If it's. If it's. If it's Al Sharpton, great. If it's Charlie Kirk's wife, great. I don't care who it is. Just kiss my ass. Like, please, just kiss Nicki Minaj. It doesn't matter. Just kiss my ass and tell me I'm the best. Tell me I'm good. And like, that kind of psychological.

[Jason Jolie]

His daddy never told him that. Yeah.

[Yomi Kennedy]

And so that kind of shit can motivate people to do a lot of fucked up things. I just think that's part of his profile. But beyond that, he doesn't have. He really makes George Bush look like a sensible person. He makes George Bush look like an actual president who had knowledge and insight and empathy and information. He makes him look like Obama. And it's like this is where we're at. And everybody who voted for him or voted for him twice or voted for him three times, they all drink the juice because they don't care either.

[Soulja Boy]

Right.

[Yomi Kennedy]

They just want somebody who will say fuck everybody and represent them. Cuz that's how they feel. And this is what it's led us to. Now we're at a. We've got geopolitics, we've got international incidents and nobody is gonna be able to turn this thing around. I don't even know if really all the people inside the Trump administration are down with this shit. But they can't tell them nothing. What are they gonna tell them?

[Jason Jolie]

Nothing.

[Soulja Boy]

There gotta be some fatigue happening right now, I would imagine.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Oh, there's definitely fatigue happening. You can see it in some of the.

[Jason Jolie]

There's fatigue with us having to discuss it. There's fatigue in us, the regular people, the citizens of this country, having to even consume it. Like, this is exhausting.

[Soulja Boy]

It is.

[Jason Jolie]

This is exhausting. I literally didn't.

[Soulja Boy]

But it forces us to participate in civics.

[Jason Jolie]

I'm trying to change my algorithm to just be cats and pandas. Like, I just want to watch animals in the ocean.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Good luck. Like, good luck with that.

[Jason Jolie]

Nowadays, see, like getting on my phone and seeing people cry and scream because 40 little girls.

[Soulja Boy]

51.

[Jason Jolie]

Yeah. Were killed.

[Yomi Kennedy]

People running for their lives while they were at school.

[Jason Jolie]

And then to know that our country sent that thing there.

[Soulja Boy]

Yeah.

[Jason Jolie]

Like, what are we talking about?

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, no, it's gonna get worse before it gets better. And that's the bad news.

[Soulja Boy]

That's the bad part. It's unprecedented. Cause we don't know what's tomorrow. We don't know what's going on.

[Jason Jolie]

Yeah, my friend texted me and was like, yo, cancel the World Cup. Cancel all this shit. Like, bruh, it's gonna be scary.

[Soulja Boy]

Been down this road before.

[Jason Jolie]

That's scary.

[Soulja Boy]

It is when you get all these people in one area, bruh.

[Jason Jolie]

It's scary right now.

[Yomi Kennedy]

But with the World cup, it's like the World cup has historically been held in fucked up places. So it's like hard. Yeah. There's always. Anytime there's a country that has a World cup there's protests and there's all kinds of shit going on outside with the citizenry because people are upset about the places where this event is being held. There's shit going on in the government, there's shit going on in their law enforcement, their military. So it's like, I don't know. I don't want to put America on a scale of whether it's better or worse. It's just another fucked up country that the World cup is coming to in the middle of strife and everyone's pretty much just out here on their own, figure that shit out, whether they're going to come or not. But. But I don't see the event getting canceled. But I think it's definitely gonna bring a new light to the conversations that are going on in the midst of this big global event.

[Soulja Boy]

And it's between United, it's gonna be held the FIFA World Cup, United States, Canada, Mexico.

[Jason Jolie]

I don't even.

[Soulja Boy]

Mexico, no 1 or 16 cities.

[Jason Jolie]

It's tricky. I'm not gonna lie. I know this was a heavy episode, y', all, but on Friday's bonus episode, we talking lighter. It's gonna give. No politics this Friday.

[Yomi Kennedy]

You know what?

[Soulja Boy]

You know what, though? But don't apologize. Don't even, like, put a disclaimer on it. I think that these are conversations that people who are listening, they're having in their homes.

[Jason Jolie]

I hope they have it in their homes. I think that's the interesting part, too. Like, there becomes a part where, yes, we're getting desensitized, but there also needs to be some level of y'.

[Yomi Kennedy]

All.

[Jason Jolie]

And when I say y', all, not only the listeners, but you encouraging your family members, your friends, your partners to literally read, to do the research, to unfortunately consume the news and consume multiple, multiple different news stations and channels. Don't just get your information from one resource.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Be locked in an echo chamber.

[Jason Jolie]

Remove yourself from the echo chamber and see what's really happening and figure out how it impacts you. And figure out, okay, so who do I need to vote for come midterms? Who do I need to have my eye on to see how I can protect my own interests moving forward? Cause right now, maybe this shit is scary. Yeah, it's scary.

[Yomi Kennedy]

And there's no. We're at a place now where you can't really. Even if you're not a political person, you don't have to be the most political person in the world, but we're at a place now where you can't really afford to put your head in the sand or not, pay attention.

[Jason Jolie]

You could barely afford rent. You can't afford shit right now.

[Yomi Kennedy]

And the reason that some of, some of the reasons why you can't afford those things is because of things that are going on around you. It's not. This isn't just happening in a vacuum. People are making decisions that impact whether or not you can pay your bills, whether or not you're safe.

[Jason Jolie]

It's real estate. It's oil.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah. It's all of that food. I mean, oil prices are going to go up. They are going to go up. When you go to the place that you get your gas from that you think, I go over here because it's cheap.

[Jason Jolie]

Have y' all seen that?

[Soulja Boy]

Not going to be cheap anymore.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Everything is about to go crazy.

[Soulja Boy]

It's funny because the gas on Friday went up to 281. And I'm like, what? This is crazy. This is before anything happened. Popped off. Then yesterday it went down to 251. Did you see the podcast?

[Jason Jolie]

They said that there was some guys at a local DC bar talking about the explosion, like the bombs and shit being sent before it happened. Like, this is all like, bruh, the script is written. Yeah, there's more to come.

[Yomi Kennedy]

There's a lot. There's a lot more to come.

[Jason Jolie]

I mean, there's more to come.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Sneakers gonna be in the White House another two. And two years and 75%.

[Jason Jolie]

I just watched season three of Night Agent. Y' all better watch that.

[Yomi Kennedy]

He's getting Night Agent, bro.

[Jason Jolie]

The government be planning these things and they be trying to hide they asses, but they be down to do some dumb shit.

[Yomi Kennedy]

I mean, even with 9 11. Like, with 9 11, although they had everybody on their side, like, because of what happened in New York, nobody at the time was questioning whether or not we should go over there and kick their ass. And Colin Powell got up in front of the un, gave this whole speech that was full of lies, that was full of misinformation.

[Soulja Boy]

Is he part of the talented 10th? He fit to physical parents, light skin

[Yomi Kennedy]

recipes, but he fits the. All those type of things.

[Soulja Boy]

Yeah, right.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah. Yeah. He died.

[Jason Jolie]

Not. He died.

[Soulja Boy]

I can't remember.

[Yomi Kennedy]

Yeah, I think he died at 24.

[Jason Jolie]

Not. You can't remember.

[Yomi Kennedy]

But yeah, but like, so even in that time, they tried to at least fake like, ok, we're going to do global now. We're not even trying to put on the show. Trump is just like, ah, fuck it this way.

[Jason Jolie]

What are you about to talk about on CNN this week?

[Yomi Kennedy]

That's a good question. I mean, I feel like they're definitely, obviously gonna bring this up and some of the surrounding elements of, like, what is this gonna affect now? And how does this affect not just over there, but, like, immediately American politics? I'm pretty sure all of that is gonna come up. We'll see. I'm sure the producer will email me in a couple days and it'll be on and popping.

[Jason Jolie]

All right, well, y', all, please, please, please, I implore you, do your research, read, listen, form your own opinions, get out the echo chamber. Hope you enjoyed this episode again. We gonna. We gonna lighten this shit all the way up on Friday. So make sure you check out that bonus episode. It'll be the three of us again. Jason will be here next week.
