• Shoutout to their growing community and their commitment to building with authentic support.

3. 2026 Grammys: Critique and Celebration

  • [10:33] “Mom Deuce was laying hands.” – Big Ice
• Recognition to Artists:
  • Praise for Kehlani, Freddie Gibbs (finally awarded after previous snubs), and Kendrick Lamar’s clean sweep of the rap categories.
  • [12:36] “She’s an example that you can stand on your 10 politically and still have success in that industry.” – Deante’
• Kendrick’s Sweep & Artistic Impact:
  • Discussion of Kendrick’s tendency to address politics through music/art, not always through statements.
  • “He’s always made political statements through his music, and that’s his medium.”

4. Respect for Black American History in Black History Month

• The Shaboozy Controversy:
  • Pushback on statements diluting the unique history of Black Americans and conflating forced enslavement with immigration.
  • [22:19] “Immigrants did not build America… America was built off the genocide of the native people and the enslavement of the African people. This shit is built off of slave labor.” – Deante’
  • Clear distinction: “Immigration is a choice. Kidnapping and enslavement is not a choice.”
• Centering Black American Experience:
  • Call for others not to “step on” Black American history during Black History Month; each culture has its own time to be celebrated.
  • Analogy to other group heritage months—Black History Month is for Black Americans specifically.
  • [25:06] “We don’t step on nobody’s shit… Don’t come over here stepping on our shit.”
• On Personal Identity and Internet Criticism:
  • Deante’ addresses critics who question his Black American credentials due to family adoption and biracial background.
  • Both hosts reaffirm the importance of lived experience and Black community connection, brushing aside “cult behavior” and personal attacks online.

5. Black American Achievements: Weekly Highlight

• This Week’s Focus: Inventors
  • Granville T. Woods (The “Black Edison”):
    • Inventor crucial to the development of the telephone, streetcar, third rail for subways, multiplex telegraph, and more.
    • Discussion of historical theft/appropriation—Edison and Bell buying/taking Black inventions.
    • [33:24] “He realized early on [electricity] held the key to the future.”
    • [36:50] “Y’all always try to put a white man next to a n***a accomplishments.” – Deante’
  • Dr. Marion Croak:
    • Modern inventor behind key voice and video-over-internet technologies (VoIP, FaceTime, Zoom), holding 200+ patents.
    • Her work was critical to communication during recent world events (COVID, Haiti earthquake relief).
    • [42:25] “When you got to work from home, shout out. You better thank Dr. Marion Croak for that.” – Deante’
• Larger Message:
  • Black Americans have fundamentally shaped technology, transportation, and communication in America and globally.
  • Reminder not to dilute or erase these contributions.

6. Conspiracies, Epstein, and American Power Structures

• Deep Dive into Government Corruption:
  • Extended discussion about the implications of the Epstein files, alleged government blackmail, and systemic abuse by elites.
  • [48:42] “Now we know that this country has never protected women or children, and human trafficking is how the West was built… The transatlantic slave trade was human trafficking.”
  • Argues that the current president (Trump) remains in power to protect the guilty and prevent collapse of the U.S. power structure.
  • Call for listeners to accept dark truths about systemic criminality and their historical roots—many things called “conspiracy” are simply the continuation of history.
  • Memorable quote:
    [56:57] “It just gets deep and dark when you gotta imagine it happening to a little blonde-haired, blue-eyed white girl. It shouldn’t be happening to anybody. It’s dark… and all these people should be jailed and prosecuted.”
• Parallel to Black History:
  • Draws direct lines between the atrocities of chattel slavery and modern abuses.
  • Reiterates the importance of recognizing the roots of American violence and exploitation.

7. Community Segment: Caller and Email Q&A

• Advice and Support:
  • Financial advice for a listener coming into “major money” (surrogacy payout): set a “nigga rich budget” (designate a splurge portion), invest the rest, and consult professionals.
    [93:41] “Don’t be afraid of spending the money, but don’t be afraid of keeping it either.”
  • Career advice for a new solo podcaster: cultivate a social media presence first; content creation will build a loyal audience before podcasting can take off.
  • Navigating friends and “planting seeds” of wisdom: it’s not your job to change everyone—put knowledge out there and let others come to it in their own time.
• Book Recommendations:
  • Shown and recommended:
    • “An African Centered Critique of European Cultural Thought and Behavior” – Marimba Ani
    • “Assata” – Assata Shakur
    • “Wretched of the Earth” – Frantz Fanon

Tone & Style Notes

• The episode maintains Deante’ Kyle’s signature blend of humor, grit, unapologetic Black pride, and deep historical knowledge.
• Both hosts joke fluidly—particularly during discussions about relationships, “conversion” from “husky” (dating white) to “Doberman” (return to Black love), and the ongoing playful banter.
• Language is colloquial and direct, with moments of seriousness and vulnerability (e.g., discussions of historical trauma, personal family background).

---

Key Takeaways

• Black American history and contributions must be centered and respected, especially during Black History Month.
• The achievements of Black American inventors form the backbone of modern life; their erasure is a crime.
• The ongoing roots of American corruption, violence, and exploitation can be traced back to slavery and Indigenous genocide; present injustices are continuations, not aberrations.
• Building community, sharing knowledge, and planting seeds is the role of those who see the truth first—even if it takes time for others to come around.
• Celebrate Black American excellence while protecting and circulating accurate historical knowledge; don’t dilute, remix, or “all lives matter” Black History Month.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Hey.

[Deontay Kyle]

So Kendrick, what a. You know, God damn, a sweep. Here's the thing. He won. He won in every rap category, I.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Think, as he should have.

[Deontay Kyle]

I'mma keep it real.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

He's coming off a great album, great tour.

[Deontay Kyle]

I hear all that. All right, let's hear it. I would have liked to see Let God Sort Him Out. Win Best rap album, over, over, over.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Gnx.

[Deontay Kyle]

It's the moment, son.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

I would rather listen to GNX than let God sort him out. I ain't gonna lie to you. It's God Somewhere is a great album. I'm not not saying anything bad about it.

[Deontay Kyle]

Running that Hoe.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Nah, definitely. Definitely ran that back to back to back to back. But we also ran Gen X to the ground, too.

[Deontay Kyle]

No, we. And we can't. Yeah, yeah. It's because he won. Everything else. It's like, God damn. I mean, give it something. Best rap performance. So he basically wanted everything because even on best rap performance clips won for Chains and Whips, which Kendrick has a feature on. Best melodic Rap performance, Kendra Lamar with Scissor for Luther. Best rap song, Kendra Lamar, Lefty, Gunplay, TV Off. Yeah. Best rap album, Kendra Lamar for gnx. Yeah. I mean, shit.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

I mean, there's no way you couldn't go. You couldn't hit.

[Deontay Kyle]

You didn't hear that, Kendrick, bro, I ain't gonna lie. That did shake the earth too, when.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

That bitch dropped, man. What?

[Deontay Kyle]

And that concert was crazy.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

I'm just saying, they went off a world Tour.

[Deontay Kyle]

Yeah. A real world tour. Yeah. I think there's some criticism about Kendrick because he's not speaking to, like, what's going on politically.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

I mean, but if you listen to.

[Deontay Kyle]

His music, he don't never, like, pop his. He'll never pop.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

No, he never says that. Crazy. It's in the music.

[Deontay Kyle]

Yes. Yeah. You know, it's the artistry of him, you know, here or there. Yeah, it's here, though, I think, you.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Know, I mean, the. Performed with Africa in the background and said Compton on it and changed.

[Deontay Kyle]

I mean. I mean, what. Goddamn. He put us at a BET Awards and change.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

[Deontay Kyle]

Goddamn list. He's always made political statements through his music, and that's his medium of expressing. Kehlani's always been very for it. And I think, you know, you just take it as it is. You know what I'm saying?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Everybody's different, man.

[Deontay Kyle]

I don't think that entertainers are necessarily leaders, but they do have big platforms, and I think that's why people push for them to have it. Especially when you got, like, niggas like Pharrell just being like, just work. Just work.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Pharrell's been so rich for so long, son.

[Deontay Kyle]

Yeah. He's just out of. And that's. That's the thing, like, the expectation, like, we can't. We can't have high expectations as working class people for, like, multi. Multi millionaires to speak for us. You know what I'm saying? They don't. They. They're artists and they, you know, I'm saying, you know, not. Also not shouting out like the Neptunes.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, that's. That's. That's. Yeah, that's.

[Deontay Kyle]

He wouldn't be. There ain't no. There ain't. There's no. For real. There is no clips without Chad.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, without Chad.

[Deontay Kyle]

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

He played a major part in it. That he did. We also have. We also talking about a completely different album.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yes.

[Deontay Kyle]

If. If it's the Neptunes producer outside of. Besides Pharrell producing it. And I think Kendrick won one more. Him and Sza, I think, won one more. Okay, let me see.

Nah, they had a great run. It was a great year for hip hop, man.

[Deontay Kyle]

Great year for hip hop.

[Deontay Kyle]

I was like, all right, nigga. I rode to the city and rode back. Yeah. I ignored niggas. Cause I had that shit on. You know what I'm saying? Niggas call. I'm like, nah, nah. Right?

Yeah, he do.

[Deontay Kyle]

This is the thing. He doesn't overdrop. Nope. And then he produces his own shit. Yeah. So, you know, when we start talking about producers and rappers, Rock Marcy gotta be putting that conversation. Because he is the forefather of that Griselda sound, those drumless loop samples. I mean, you know, if you love Stove Guy and you like Reasonable Drought, that's completely produced by Rock Marciano. So that sound that you love, he's the architect, you know what I'm saying? He was doing it when it wasn't popular. Yeah. When it wasn't cool, when it wasn't. He was doing that shit in 2012.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah. He just been doing it.

[Deontay Kyle]

You've been doing it. You know what I'm saying? You know, shout out to him for. You know, just continue to push his sound, pioneering that sound and keeping it true to himself and just constantly dropping great bodies of work.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yes.

[Deontay Kyle]

Nobody can rap like rock Marcy, man. Nah, nah. He's your favorite rapper's favorite rapper.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

He's so dope, so talented.

[Deontay Kyle]

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah. One of the homies from California hit me up, said, yo, I didn't. He ain't like it. I said, it was just a little sampler for the album.

[Deontay Kyle]

You know, this is my thing. I don't really feel like. For the beats he chose. Mm. He didn't go.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

He didn't go hard on.

[Deontay Kyle]

When you choose, like, classic hip hop beats, the goal is to, like, outperform whoever did it before. He great raps. Yeah. We can't deny that he's a great rapper, but, like, when I listen to the Golden Goose freestyle, I'm like, let me go listen to that. Let me go listen to Jay, the original joint. Let me wipe my mind clean, whatever this is. You know what I'm saying? It's cool. Cool. We respect you as a pen. Your pen, but, yeah, man, that shit was all right. You know what I'm saying? It was cool. Yeah, it was cool.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

I think it was just something to do.

[Deontay Kyle]

Yeah. I don't. You know, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not finna sit here and like, oh, this is the craziest. Like, it just wasn't that. It was cool.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

That's right.

[Deontay Kyle]

Happy Black History Month. Speaking of the Grammys, huh? Shaboozy.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Shibuzy.

[Deontay Kyle]

All right, Shaboozy.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

What do you do now, son?

[Deontay Kyle]

Shaboozi, I ain't going to take up too much of your time. I understand. Immigrating to America, having parents immigrate to America and sacrifice so that you can have a better opportunity. Immigrants did not build America, Okay? America was built off the genocide of the native people and the enslavement of the African people. This shit is built off of slave labor. Yeah. Immigrants have definitely contributed to American culture, to American history, to. Throughout the duration. But if we want to talk about how what was built. What built this country is the genocide of indigenous people. Facts. And the enslavement of African American people.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Super. Facts.

[Deontay Kyle]

That's it. Full stop. We're not going to be ahistorical about it. We not going to. We're not going to tell people who were kidnapped and trafficked that they're immigrants. We're not doing that. No. That is literally the opposite of the definition of immigration. Immigration is a choice. Kidnapping and enslavement is not a choice. And the genocide laid the foundation. And the blood and enslavement and chattel. Enslavement and human trafficking of Africans built the West. Yes. Built America. Yes. Our ancestors built this country. They didn't immigrate over here. They were stolen, trafficked and enslaved. And their blood and sacrifices built this country. And we're not going to erase that and we're not going to dilute that and we're not going to. And we're not going to make that an immigrant thing. That's not an immigrant thing. That calling it immigration is ahistorical. We're not doing that. That's erasing the sacrifice. And that's also erasing the atrocities committed by European and Spanish people. Yes. So we're gonna start there, full stop. Then during Black History Month, we also aren't gonna mix up the medicine. Okay. Five years ago, 10 years ago, it's poppy. No, Black. Now during Black History Month, I'm seeing a trend of everybody from across the Diaspora wanting this to be about them. This is about black Americans history in America. Yeah. Okay. We. There isn't like, Caribbean Heritage Month in May.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

We don't step on that.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

[Deontay Kyle]

They gotta make me a tether.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yo, you Son. Yo, you FBA come for me. I'm from here. I'm black. What's up? Born in Grady, Georgia. Red Clay, come see me.

[Deontay Kyle]

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Nah, nah. I want to give you.

[Deontay Kyle]

Deal with their own problems. Like now. Now. Now they psychoanalyzing me. Cause they think they above criticism. And this is what that fucking cult behavior is that I'm talking about. But let's not get away from the topic. I just get back to them niggas. I appreciate you, though. Yeah, Yeah, I appreciate you. I know it's love for sure. You and Pop's been on the.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Want to kill them. Who these talking about Kyle on the Internet?

[Deontay Kyle]

Listen, it's okay.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

It's okay.

[Deontay Kyle]

It's okay. It's just what they do.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

They got to discredit people that disagree with them.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

They can't. Which is cult behavior. Intelligent people don't need everything laid out for them. They don't need context and every. Like. Like, the context is clear, but you can remove the context so you can make my statement about what you want it to be about. Yeah. That's the lack of intelligence for one. And it's also a sign of cult behavior and manipulation. You just hear FBA and you go. There's just like. Christians hear Jesus and they go.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

They go. Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

You know, this is like. This is like, all lives matter. Hear? Black lives matter. And they go.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

They go. Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

And speaking of all lives matter. We're not gonna. All lives matter. Black History Month. We're not gonna do that. Black History Month originated from Negro History week, established in February 1926 by historian Carter G. Woodson and the association for the Study of African American Life and History to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. It expanded to a full month in 1976, officially recognized by President Gerald Ford. Now let me. Now let's take it a step forward. President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black history month in 1976, urging Americans to seize the opportunity to honor the too often neglected accomplishments of black Americans. Full stop. We not going to be ahistorical. We're not going to erase our. Our contribution. We not gonna erase our bloodshed. We're not gonna erase the things that we built. We not gonna. All lives matter this shit. Okay? We don't step on nobody else. If you have an issue with black Americans being centered after the sacrifices, the bloodshed that we use to build this fucking country.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Oh, man.

[Deontay Kyle]

The inventions that make your life and everyday life easier.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Oh, so many inventions.

[Deontay Kyle]

And the civil rights movement, which allowed you to come over here with the rights that you enjoy. Now, we're not gonna erase black Americans history. We're not gonna dilute black Americans history by lumping everybody in. This is Black History Month for and about the history, achievements, contributions, and just the collective history of black Americans here in this country dating back to chattel slavery. This is not about immigrants, and it's not no disrespect to immigrants. Black lives matter doesn't mean all lives don't matter. We talking about black lives. We not gonna. All lives matter. Black History Month. And I seen this topic come up. We not doing that shit. All right? Y' all got y' all time to shine. And niggas don't step on that. Niggas let y' all have that. Niggas don't try to center themselves in the middle of that. When we talk about the Haitian Revolution, niggas don't be like, well, there was American revolts. We don't do that. We don't do that. We let you have your moment. We let you be centered. For the next 28 days, black Americans will be centered, period, point blank. Okay? Not doing no remixes. Diddy's locked up. The remix is over. No more remixes, okay? So in honor of Black History Month, we are gonna highlight two historical figures or present day figures, okay? With major contributions to not only American history, but black American history and human history as a whole. Every week, starting this week with Granville T. Woods. Okay? Now, Granville T. Woods, African American inventor who made key contributions to the development of the telephone, streetcar and many other things. Granville T. Woods, born to free African Americans, held various engineering and industrial jobs before establishing a country to develop electrical apparatus known as the Black Edison. He registered nearly 60 patents in his lifetime, including a telephone transmitter, a trolley wheel, and the multiplex telegraph, over which he defeated a lawsuit by Thomas Edison. Yeah, N. Yeah, nigga Edison tried to come for my nigga Shit, son.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

I hate that nigga Thomas Edison. Cause he had a black helper.

[Deontay Kyle]

Lewis Latin.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah who did everything.

[Deontay Kyle]

You know what I'm saying?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

How the Lewis Letterman got your blueprints? I can't have your blueprint. I can't make your blueprints for you.

[Deontay Kyle]

Come on, son. Thomas Edison is a hater.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

For sure. You know what I'm saying? White hater.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

And if it's all right with y', all, we not gonna rush through this. We gonna go through this early life. Born In Columbus, Ohio, April 23, 1856, woods received little schooling as a young man and in his early teens took up a variety of jobs, including a railroad engineer in a railroad machine shop, as an engineer on a British ship, in a steel mill, and as a railroad worker. From 1876 to 1878, woods lived in New York City, taking courses in engineering and electricity, a subject that he realized early on held the key to the future. Futurist. Huh?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

You seen it, huh?

[Deontay Kyle]

Said I'm finna make history, son. Back in Ohio in the summer of 1878, woods was employed for eight months by the Springfield, Jackson and Pomeroy railroad company to work at the pumping stations and the shifting of cars in the city of Washington courthouse, Ohio. He was then employed by the Dayton and southeastern railway company as an engineer for 13 months. During this period, while traveling between Washington courthouse and Dayton, woods began to form ideas for what would later be credited as his most important invention, the inductor telegraph. He worked in the area until spring of 1880 and then moved to Cincinnati. Yeah, son. Cincinnati, son. So his early invented career, he filed his first patent for improved steam boiler furnace. His later patents were mainly for electrical devices, including his second invention and improved telephone transmitter. So that phone.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, that phone.

[Deontay Kyle]

When we say it, be them phones. Yeah, shout out to Granville T. Wood.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, shout out to my man.

[Deontay Kyle]

You know what I'm saying? The patent for his device, which combined the telephone and telegraph was brought was bought by Alexander Graham Bell, and the payment free Wood was to devote himself to his own research. So the patent was bought by Alexander Graham Bell.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

At least he bought it. At least he didn't steal it.

[Deontay Kyle]

He freed him, you know what I'm saying? With the pay, my boy could buy his freedom.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

And then he can go left to his own devices, and this is why the history is important. Like, we can't sit here and talk about it like Brett was enslaved when he was doing all this. Yeah. He had to think it's like that. You know what I'm saying?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Think his way out of slavery.

[Deontay Kyle]

First of all, first of all, the phone and how important the phone is to everyday life. Big cat on the phone right now, some of y' all watching this on the phone. On the phone, he had to take his genius, sell it to Alexander Graham Bell so he could be free just to go do his other thing. One of his most important inventions was the troller. Troller. Yeah, yeah. It gotta be Trawler. A groove metal wheel that allowed streetcars, later known as trolleys, to collect electric power from overhead wires. You ever been to New Orleans?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Have you ever been to New Orleans?

[Deontay Kyle]

Have you ever seen a trolley?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

You ever been to San Francisco?

[Deontay Kyle]

Shout out to Alex. Shout out to Granville T. Woods for all that.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah nigga, yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

Induction telegraph. Wood's most important invention was the multiplex telegraph, also known as the induction telegraph or block system. In 1887, the device allowed men to communicate by voice over telegraph wires, ultimately helping to speed up important communications and subsequently preventing crucial errors such as train accidents. Woods defeated Edison's lawsuit that challenged his patent and turned down Edison's offer to make him a partner. Therefore. Oh no. Thereafter, woods was often known as Black Edison. But he was actually just Granville T. Woods.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

Y' all always try to put a white man next to a nigga accomplishments but he did all this off the.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Muscle on his own.

[Deontay Kyle]

All this off the. Off the. You know what I'm saying? Medulla oblongata, son.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah son. You know what I'm saying?

[Deontay Kyle]

Step your prefrontal cortex up, son. For sure though. After receiving the. After receiving the patent for the multiplex telegraph, woods reorganized his Cincinnati company as the Woods Electric Company. In 1890 he moved his own research operations to New York City where he was joined by a brother, Lytez Woods. I don't Liadis Woods. L Y A T E S liatis Liatus woods, bruh. You know what I'm saying? Real even back then.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Back then. Was in 1800.

[Deontay Kyle]

Yeah, they come to New York. Lytus woods, who also has several inventions of his own. Woods most important invention was the power pickup device in 1901, which is the basis of the so called third rail currently used by electric powered transit systems. From 1902 to 1905 he received patents for an improved air brake system. Listen my nigga. Traveling, traveling. Get on that train. That third round. It's Granville T. Wood.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Niggas won't be able to move around New York City with that third railways.

[Deontay Kyle]

And this is why we can't. We can't dilute it. Yeah, that's why we can't dilute it. Because African Americans have changed your way of life.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Change the way you live, change the.

[Deontay Kyle]

Way you live, change the way you travel, change the way you communicate.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Made your life more comfortable.

[Deontay Kyle]

Yeah, son. I mean why you get on that Phone and type.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

Trying to erase our history.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

Granville T. Woods was the reason, son.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, son.

[Deontay Kyle]

Yeah, son. You traveling by train?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yes.

[Deontay Kyle]

Granville T. Woods.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

That's Granville.

[Deontay Kyle]

Huh?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

80S.

[Deontay Kyle]

Yeah. No, his brother just came to help.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

By the time of his death on January 30, 1910, in New York City, woods had invented 15 appliances for electric railways, received nearly 60 patents, many of which were assigned to major manufacturers of electrical equipment that are a part of today's daily life. Shout out to Granville T. Woods. Yeah. And to further the technology. Let's go ahead. Let's go from the phone back then.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Okay.

Absolutely.

[Deontay Kyle]

You ever had Skype?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Absolutely.

[Deontay Kyle]

Zoom Call?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Absolutely.

[Deontay Kyle]

Marion Croke.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Hey.

[Deontay Kyle]

Dr. Marion Croak.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Let's do it.

[Deontay Kyle]

Doctor Marion Croak, engineer. Dr. Marion Croak has worked on advancing voice over Internet protocol technologies, converting voice data into digital signals that can be easily transmitted over the Internet rather than using traditional phone line. So she is in the lineage.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yes.

[Deontay Kyle]

Of Granville T. Woods.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Okay.

[Deontay Kyle]

Now, Her work has furthered the capabilities of audio and V video conferencing, making it PR. Making it a practical reality in today's world. In 1982, Croak began her career at Bell Labs, later AT&T with a position in the Human Factors Research Division, looking at how technology could be used to positively impact people's lives. She subsequently went on to work on network engineering, where she contemplated the potential of digital telecommunications rather than use a traditional phone line for voice communication. Damn.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Shit.

[Deontay Kyle]

Smiling. Hell, Let me. Yeah, there we go. Now. You know what I'm saying?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah. Now you're good.

[Deontay Kyle]

Now Unc. Either gotta. You know what I'm saying? We gotta zoom in a little bit.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Un.

[Deontay Kyle]

Eyes.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

See you get crossed out a little bit. Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

They. Where they used to be.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Let's get back to my girl.

[Deontay Kyle]

Maybe play too much. Rather than use a traditional phone line for voice communication along with a digital method for Internet data. She and her team thought both could be done digitally with the Internet. Consequently, they focus on enabling voice traffic that could be both reliable and of high quality. Today, the widespread use of VOIP technology is vital for remote work and conferencing as well as personal communications. So all you, huh, Talk to him, son. When you was shut down, locked down during COVID and you got to work from home, shout out. You better thank Dr. Marion Croak for that.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

[Deontay Kyle]

Changing the way of life, son. That's why we won't dilute it.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

The cradle of civilization.

[Deontay Kyle]

You know what I'm saying? During her career, Croak and her team created text to donate systems for charitable organizations that first saw widespread use after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, which raised $130,000. After the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the technology raised 43 million in donations. Text now.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

Huh? Saving civilization, nigga. Huh? Yeah. Donating to relief. All you gotta do is text your donations. Yeah. Both Dr. Marion Crowe, both affected black.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

People came to the rescue.

[Deontay Kyle]

Come on, she coming to the rescue. Come on, man. She come to the rescue, son.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Come on, son.

[Deontay Kyle]

We're not gonna wait on the white man. No, son, we're gonna let Dr. Marion Croak handle that.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

We got the technology right here.

[Deontay Kyle]

We got it right here. We got it right here. We're gonna text the donation. Yeah, we got all the data. Croak joined Google in 2014, where she is now vice president of Engineering and leads the research center for Responsible AI in Human Centered Technology. She also has led a team bringing broadband to developing countries in Asia and Africa. Kroke attended Prince University for her undergraduate studies and the University of Southern California for her doctorate. Focused on statistical analysis and social psychology. With more than 200 patents to her name. Good God. Kroke also works on racial justice efforts at Google.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Okay.

[Deontay Kyle]

And continues her goal of encouraging women and young girls in engineering. Shout out to Dr. Marion Croak. Shout out to my sister doctor. God damn. This is what this week is going to be about, right? Every week we're doing the knowledge. For real.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Doing the knowledge.

[Deontay Kyle]

Well, you know, you ain't gonna get no big old spill out of me.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, we're doing the knowledge.

[Deontay Kyle]

We're doing the knowledge. Yeah. So we got Granville T. Woods. Huh. You get on the train.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

You know what I'm saying? You make a call, you can make a conductor. We have a problem.

[Deontay Kyle]

You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You trying, you, you trying to be low on the phone. You don't want them recording it.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Doing the goddamn knowledge.

[Deontay Kyle]

Black America, black power. Yeah, baby. All right, all right. This, this week. Let me tell you something. Things about to get a little dark. We said the light, huh?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

I bring to the dark, baby.

[Deontay Kyle]

So you remember 2010, 2012 YouTube documentary. Oh, Illuminati.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yes. Had niggas in the choko.

[Deontay Kyle]

Had niggas in the chokehold. They showing the symbology.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Everybody was a professor.

[Deontay Kyle]

Symbolism.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, everybody was a professional in that, in that, in that category. Everybody was an expert.

[Deontay Kyle]

Every, every. I knew. Yeah. Knew Freemasons, Illuminati, symbolic symbolism like the back of their Freemason.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

They didn't even know they Freemasons.

[Deontay Kyle]

You see what I'm saying? Including me. Yeah. All right. So soon as I seen do one of these.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Oh, you know what it was? Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

Oh, we know what he doing talking to his people. Yeah, yeah. Now look, they gonn take that and be like. Yep. See, he tried to be subtle.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, he tried to be subtle with it.

[Deontay Kyle]

He's Illuminati.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, he's really. He really sold his soul.

[Deontay Kyle]

Yeah. I'm a so for a podcast still got to pay rent. Like what are you talking about? Still going to parent teachers conferences and Illuminati. Yeah. I pay a to be a parent if I was in Illuminati. Give it all up. Yeah. Either way so then Pizzagate. You remember Pizza Gate.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yes.

[Deontay Kyle]

This is the second wave of that. Like. Oh, the symbolism.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

And Epstein file just dropped and. Goddamn. God damn it. I think all of that shit was true. It might have been. First of all, we talking about a child sex trafficking ring, a human trafficking ring. And cannibalism and murder at large by all these powerful people in America and globally, all these power players in tech, all these power players in technology and politics, all these power players in entertainment put in very compromising positions, doing some very, very nasty, some reprehensible things, some unforgivable things. One name that pops up more than most and anybody else. Who is it? Oh, big djt. Hey, old Donald Trump.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yep.

[Deontay Kyle]

So I've said before that Epstein has ties to and probably work for the Mossad, which Israeli intelligence. Right. So why is Trump present? Okay. Regardless of the numbers, regardless. We don't control the media. We don't control any of this. Everybody's regretting their vote now, even though everything that is happening is what Trump said he was gonna do. Now we know that this country has never protected women or children. And human trafficking is how the west was built. The transatlantic slave trade was human trafficking. They used to breed enslaved women as soon as they could get have a period. Correct. Which was child sex trafficking. Correct. This is how the country was built. And everything that was in Project 2025 that Trump said he was gonna do, he's done, including invoking the Insurrection Act. He said there will never be another election because all I have to do is start a war. And they can't hold an election in the midst of a war. He said he was gonna do all these things, but why now, as people are pushing for the Epstein files to be released, is Trump president of all people? And it's because you need someone compromised in the position of power to make sure that it doesn't collapse the government. And the way that we view our society as a whole, the power structure as we know it would collapse completely. And all of these people would be thrown in jail and charged to the max. This would be the biggest RICO in human history. But because. Because this is a blackmail operation, no Wonder we're sending $40 billion over there. You got one of the most compromised people in the. In the seat of American power. And only a criminal would protect other criminals. This is why he's dismantling entire arms of government. This is why he's placing people in the FBI that would never convict him, that would never think about charging him with any crime. And upon being ordered to release the files completely. They still have not released the files completely and are constantly redacting names and information in these files, which is illegal. But because he controls the FBI as well, they can pretty much do whatever the fuck they want. They are literally under the thumb of Israel. Now, the American people have to be okay with giving up your obsession and your devotion to celebrities that you do not know. Because if they are in those files and they were participating in any human trafficking, sex trafficking, child or child rape or sexual assault in general, you gotta be willing to. To let that shit go and be willing to see them prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. You can't pick and choose which celebrity is your favorite and which one isn't. And I don't want to. No, it can't be this person. First of all, you don't know these niggas. Let's just keep that you like they work, you know what I'm saying? But you don't know them. And if you understand that it's a blackmail operation created to put people in compromising positions so that they can be controlled. So the most compromised person, the person who in those files, in those files is said to not only have participated in the rape and sexual assault of women and children, but also the murder threat, threatened to murder, present during murders and carrying out murders, is the President. If the most compromised person is the president, then he will ensure that if nothing happens to him, then nothing's going to happen to anybody else. And he's going to place these people already. This is. This is. These people seen this shit coming from a mile away. They seen this coming during COVID This is why they say Epstein got knocked off. He probably ain't even dead.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

They say they seen him around.

[Deontay Kyle]

He probably in Israel. This is why, when you wonder why, oh why we send all this money to Israel, is because this, all of your leaders, all of the people in power, everything that props up the American power structure in general is compromised by these Epstein files. And for niggas, first of all, with the MAGA niggas, are y' all moving the goalpost for this? Y' all are tripping because this is y' all whole shit. Y' all whole shit was there was a cabal of people involved in a child sex trafficking ring. And now that it's coming to the light, y' all are moving the goalpost and being very silent about it. Well, just admit that you was wrong. It's all fucked up. It's all fucked up. If you are weary, that Nothing will happen. It's because the country has never protected women or children. And human trafficking is how the west was built. It was built on this. Just because it was built on that. And it was black bodies being human and sex trafficked. And you want to act like you care about it now. Human and child sex trafficking is how the west was built. It was just using black bodies back then, but now that there's white women and white children, y' all want to act like y' all gonna have an uproar. It's all sick. It's all reprehensible. And they should all be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but they won't. Because they have the biggest criminal in the seat of the presidency. He's not gonna let himself go down. This is what Steve Bannon meant when he said, if we lose the midterms, we are gonna go to jail. Cause if they lose the midterms, there's gonna be other people that are gonna hold their seats and reinstate proper people into the Federal Bureau of Investigation and into all of these other government programs that prop up America. You wanna know why the news is, why the meteorologist is a week off? Because he's cutting fun into shit like that. So the shit that was supposed to happen last weekend actually happened this weekend. He. He's. He's cutting corners and he's cutting funding to all of these different things so he can send that money to Israel because he is being blackmailed because of the shit. If. If somebody. If. If. If. If proper law enforcement is done, if proper prosecution is done, he will never see the light of day again. Him nor none of his fucking cronies. So basically, right now, America is occupied by a mob of criminals. A mob of criminals who are all complicit. So they will all protect each other. They are willing to put American lives on the line as a distraction so they can invoke the Insurrection Act. So his declaration of war on immigrants and American citizens is a declaration of war so that he can invoke the Insurrection act so he won't be kicked out the seat of office, because if he ever loses power, he is going to be convicted. And everything that he's been involved with with these Epstein files, if we had actual, true, integral politicians in there, everything is going to come out. It will collapse the America. The United States of America as you know it. It will collapse the power structure, as you know, will collapse your idea of entertainment as you know it, your idea of what a star is, as you know it. It will collapse Hollywood as you know it. And everybody whose name has come out and they've been prosecuted, a Harvey Weinstein, a P. Diddy, these people are just as guilty, but they are also sacrificial lambs. Hopefully you just put it all on this person so you don't see how deep and dark and nasty it fucking gets. But we talking about people who are killing women and children, who are eating women and children. This is nothing new. Because they were eating African Americans. They have cookbooks. Everything that they done to us, they are now doing period, point blank. And everybody's surprised about it but us. I'm not surprised. They eating people that used to eat us. They used to use our hair to stuff their furniture. This is nothing new. This shit is disgusting. Gator bait, all of these different things. It's disgusting, bro. But it's. But it's a fact. It's not a fact that you want to wrap your mind around because the shit is dark and it's inhumane. But this is their history. They're repeating their history. They're repeating the history of their ancestors, their forefathers here in this country. Their forefathers raped and trafficked women and children. Eight people killed with impunity, stole land. This is their history. It happened to us first. And we created all of these things in spite of. But now, because it's propped up by Hollywood and it's your entertainers and it's the people that made you fall in love with that. You don't fucking know the politicians that are supposed to be here to serve you. And you are one of their constituents and they work for the people. But these people, you don't fucking know, these people are placed in power. So if Israel has America and its entire power structure by the fucking nuts, then I'm pretty sure they can place the president there. Because if you don't place the president there, your entire government and the facade of America as you know it will collapse every structure. It takes a criminal to cover up crimes. And anybody who is still in support of this is out of their fucking mind. You're out of your mind. You're out of your mind. He's not some savior. All of that 4chan shit, you remember all the 4chan. All the Reddit shit. It's already been proven that just like just Lane Maxwell was one of the moderators on Reddit, they was pumping that information out to make people seem crazy, but they wanted to prop it up as if Donald Trump was coming to save America, to drain the swamp. These are all things that they propped up, their intelligence, propped all this shit up to make it seem like it was crazy, to make it seem like it was conspiracy whole time. This shit is true as fuck. There's another thing that you have to realize. Humans are not that fucking creative, okay? Anything that is spewed has some grain of truth to it because we're not that creative. We can only create and fabricate the reality that we know. So when Hollywood makes a movie like what you wish for, you ever seen that movie? And it's this dude and he get a job and he earning hundreds and hundreds of thousand dollars to cook food for the elite class, but he's cooking people. It's not out the realm of possibility when you have 400,000 people go missing in America with no trace. Where are they going? Human trafficking, child sex trafficking, food product, what they call them in the movie, produce. If they was eating them back then, they eat them now. Cannibalism in America is legal in 49 states, all except Idaho, I think. This is not new. The rabbit hole doesn't go deep. The rabbit hole goes deep to niggas that don't want to accept it. That just is what it is. It's all out there. It's all. It's all true. And if it all is seemingly true, then it's not as dark as you want to make it to be, because this is what they've been doing. The atrocities that you find so dark now are the atrocities that were happening during chattel slavery. It just gets deep and dark when you gotta imagine it happening to a little blonde hair, blue eyed white girl. It shouldn't be happening to anybody. It's dark and it's deep and it's nasty, period. And all these people should be jailed and prosecuted honestly. Worse. But you have to understand these people are compromised. We have an entire power structure of compromised criminals who are on their last leg and they're using Donald Trump to keep their criminal ring sustained. It's a mob of compromised criminals. They want to make it about this and they want to make it about that. And at the end of the day, it's just about this. It's just about protecting them from prosecution, which is why they're toppling the American government. Religious leaders, politicians, entertainers, they're all compromised, which is why we fund a genocide. You can't take a moral stance in a genocide with a country that you're compromised by. These niggas. Everybody knows it, okay? It's not even about Zionism at this point. These niggas have us by the nuts because they have all of our leaders in compromised positions. Do you want the evidence of you fucking on children to come out? Trafficking, women raping, and we talking about boys and girls, period. Just human sex trafficking from, from. From. From child to adult, animals included, cannibalism included. Do you want that information to come out? Do you know that you don't recover from shit like that and you get prosecuted for shit like that. You go to jail, you lose all the riches. And your reputation will never be the same. Harvey Weinstein's reputation is never going to be the same. Bill Cosby P. Diddy reputation, never gonna be the same. R. Kelly's reputation cooked. Finito. You finished? These people are compromised, bruh. They're all compromised. And the sooner that you accept that they're compromised, the easier it will be to accept the reality of what America is. It is a crime syndicate. It has been. It will be. It's run by psychopaths and sociopaths who are obsessed with greed, power over people over systems. They only care about money, and they lust after the fucking blood, death, and destruction of other humans. It is what it is because they showed you what it was during chattel slavery. They don't value human life. The sick and sadistic things that they would do during chattel slavery are literally the same things that they're doing now. They just have media there to control it. Which is why they don't want you to learn about the history. Cause if you learn about the history, then the shit they're doing now won't be so fucking surprising. All right, well, we don't know if there's going to be a grist next podcast after this episode. So we'll just. You know what I'm saying, the truth comes at a cost. So, you know, it is what it is. Yeah. You know, I'm not suicidal.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

I'm very happy.

[Deontay Kyle]

I'm very happy with my life. Life has been great. We got a tour coming up. I have no reason to not want to be around.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

It is what it is, bro. Somebody gotta speak the truth. I'm gonna speak the motherfucking truth. Facts. So we'll call it there. And maybe we'll go a little deeper into the rabbit hole on that Patreon. $8. We'll be right back at this commercial break. We back. We back. Big cat. Yo, yo. All right, we'll get into some of these voicemails.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Let's do it.

[Deontay Kyle]

Email submissions. Just remember this. However something was built is what it must. That's what it must do to sustain. So imagine people that want every aspect of their life to be superior will fight to hide their history. People that all of a sudden don't know how to protest didn't have no problem with showing up when Ruby Bridges was integrating that school. They know how to protest, but that's the history that they want to hide. And if we continue to dig into American history, they want to hide black history because of the atrocities that they committed against us. And if you go back and you find out and research and learn about those atrocities they committed, you'll see the parallels and the atrocities that they commit today. So there's a reason why they want the history hidden. But however something, what's built is what it's going to do to sustain. Remember that we back. All right, let's get it.

[Caller 1]

What's up, y'? All? So I live in LA and. All right, so let me. Let me start over. All right, so first off, I want to thank y' all for announcing the California LA tour date so that I did not have to bring out the coon cannon and start hitting in the community. I want to start there.

[Deontay Kyle]

All right.

[Caller 1]

Second, I had a theory that.

[Deontay Kyle]

Hold on. When did we announce the LA day?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

I have no idea.

[Deontay Kyle]

I don't know what you're talking about. The coon cannon.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

The coon cannon is nuts in the LA dates. We never announced LA dates.

[Deontay Kyle]

All right, we gonna try to stick with you.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Caller 1]

Feel like pop art is an excuse to kind of big up white mediocrity in art space. Like, I live in la. I. The other day.

[Deontay Kyle]

All right, we just got.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

[Deontay Kyle]

Not a great selection. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Caller 2]

Hey, Beyonce and Big Ice Cup. I'm not gonna say my name because I just finished watching Yalls last video, and all I'm gonna say is, y' all ate me up, and I don't like that. But crazy thing is, after I sent that email, I cut things short with that person. So I just wanted to call and tell y' all thank y' all for Yalls advice. That amongst some other advice I got from people around me, it kind of, you know, helped me put my situation into perspective. I am calling because I actually wanted to get some book recommendations for y'.

[Caller 1]

All.

[Caller 2]

I see in every episode the same stack of books on your podcast desk, and I was wondering what exactly those books are and if there are any other books you guys would like to recommend, because something that I am implementing into the new year is reading more. I have a couple books myself that I take time to read out of my day whenever I can between work and school and other things going on. And once I finish those books, I want to find some more to read. So I would like some recommendations. And yeah, again, thank you guys for your advice on my email. I'm only 21. I'm learning okay. But yeah, can't wait to see y' all in Charlotte. I probably won't make it to Raleigh, but I know I'm gonna make it in Charlotte in April. Mark my words. And yeah, hey, y'.

[Deontay Kyle]

All. Hey now.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Glad you took the advice.

[Deontay Kyle]

You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? We hear we. We trying to save lives here. Yeah, yeah, we're just gonna keep it, keep it real with you, bruh. That's it. Of course, the top book is an African centered critique of European cultural thought and behavior by Marimba Anit. One of the other books that you've seen is Asada, of course, and Wretched of the Earth by Franz Fanon. The book I'm reading right now is by R. Douglas Fields called why We Snap.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Oh, shit.

[Deontay Kyle]

Yeah, It's a fucking doozy. So. All right. Yeah, I would suggest that also if you haven't, you know, the Discord that you can only Access through at Patreon $8 constantly are doing book recommendations and book reviews and have created their own Book Club. Dr. Taylor Cummings has a book list that she's constantly updating but has provided to the Discord and the Patreon about, you know, decolonizing your faith, decentering whiteness in your spiritual journey and just in your journey period. So you know what I'm saying? Come with us over there. You know what I'm saying? All right.

[Caller 1]

All right, gang. I swear I ain't gonna say this is my last time calling, but this home back to back, this is my last time calling this purple haze again. But response to you, even on the voicemail you played never gonna deny question, try to do anything to make. I ain't gonna say to make my black. I ain't gonna try to do anything to make anybody except my black. That is what it is down to. Even have me sounding on these voice messages. I do a little live and a little thing from time to time and I attempt to try to come with a more broad vocabulary. But man, I be talking to my people, so I'll be keeping it straight, funky. That's the only one because I'm trying to talk to My people. So I want to come in a language that's relatable, that's understandable. And really, the platforms that we spreading this on, it ain't that a lot of stuff. Most definitely is not going undetected. So why would I want to get a play by. A play by play with straight blueprint all in the open? I feel like I should be able to talk this way. And my people get. That's just a thing that I'm on. So, you know, I'm saying just to hear. Yeah, I already. I'm. That's who I'm talking to. I'm already knowing that y' all on that, and I. It just feels good to see how. Where y' all at. And this is it. You know what I'm saying? I love y', all, boy. I'm gonna make a shed a tear on here.

[Deontay Kyle]

We love you too.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Much love, my boy. Much love, son.

[Deontay Kyle]

I don't know what the other event of these voicemail you're referring to, but keep popping your. The way you pop yourself.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

[Deontay Kyle]

We got one more, then we're gonna move on to some of these emails. All right.

[Caller 1]

Yo, Mr. Powell, big cat, what's going on with you guys? Got some things on my mind. I'm in a phase of where, like, I don't learn how powerful silence is, especially when you're uncertain about things. How to maintain my demeanor and collect myself before I act to avoid.

[Deontay Kyle]

How.

[Caller 1]

Should I say, like, damage in the future. You know what I'm saying? Not having that feeling, like, damn, I up. So my question is to y' all is how do you go about dealing with people that are close to you but aren't really, like, on that level of maturity yet? Normally, I would separate myself from them. I would just, you know, remove myself and, you know, do what I do, but stay in touch to see if they finally catching on. But this is kind of a different situation. How do I go about that? Because they seem like they want to learn and I don't mind teaching, but it's like, damn, bro. Like, they're not getting it. You know what I'm saying? They still want to crash out. They still in the materialistic things. Yeah, I. I don't know. I don't know. So it's like I'm at the point where I do want to remove myself, but I actually do care for these people. Help, help, help. 1 Real to some more real. What would y' all do in this situation? Hey, appreciate the show. Appreciate the wisdom. Keep your foot on their necks.

[Deontay Kyle]

Love, my brother.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yep.

[Deontay Kyle]

Listen, bruh, sometimes in this life when you are the first to arrive to certain revelations, first to stumble upon certain knowledges and things like that, you have to understand that you, more than anything else, are a seed planter. So throughout my journey, I've always had people come out, come back to me and say, man, you was right. We was telling this and we didn't want to listen to that shit. We wasn't trying to hear that shit. But at the end, you was right. It's not your job to like hold somebody hand through things. It's your job to plant the seed. Sometimes the world and life in general will water the seed to the point where people will see what you're saying. But you're not here to be to evangelize people. You could plant the seed, but you can't hold people hand and make them apply the knowledge. You know, wisdom is the application of knowledge. So you are wise enough to learn things and then apply it. Some people, it take a little bit longer for them to gain wisdom, to take a little bit longer. Life gotta bump them across the head a couple more times before they really get it. That. But your job, once you plant the seed, your job is done. You know, loving people oftentimes will make us feel like, you know, it's our responsibility to make sure that they're doing the right things. But oftentimes that can come across as pushy, demanding, or, you know, you think you better than me, all these different things. So take the ego out of it, take the personal aspect out of it, and just understand that you are here to do a service with the knowledge and planting seeds. I'm pretty sure there's people who watch this shit. A dude just came out the other day. Two days ago, I made a video about the accountability thing and said I was wrong. I didn't wanna hear what he was saying at the time, but since then it opened my eyes up to what he was saying and I've been able to see it. And not only the role that others play in it, but the role I played in it. And I wanna apologize and say that Deontay Kyle was right about us taking accountability for each other's actions. I didn't do no whole bunch of fighting with these folks. I said what I said and I moved on. And that's been a revelation a lot of times throughout the duration of this show is that I've said things that maybe people didn't understand right then, but then as things play out, you just gotta Be comfortable with planting that seed. You don't have to worry about the harvest, you just plant the seed. All right, let's move on to some of these emails. Big K, you got anything to say there, young brother?

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Nah, you said everything that needed to be said, brother.

[Deontay Kyle]

A podcaster finding their footing solo what's up Deontay? Big Ice Cup Cat? First off, I would be remiss if I didn't thank you both for all the good you're doing for our community with educating and helping us liberate ourselves as a people. Please continue to keep up with the incredible work. We need folks like y' all now more than ever. So I recently launched my podcast in December after seven years of telling myself I couldn't there wasn't space for me. It's called the Alive I guess podcast and I made it because I wanted to create a safe space for us to come and talk about the difficult parts of life we experienced, but never discuss. I hosted alone and share raw, honest stories from my life and create space for conversations that remind people they're not broken, they're just alive and learning it. At the moment, I'm a one person team editor, producer, social media manager, host, marketing, everything selftaught and just started this journey last October. It's a whole lot to learn and manage, but I'd rather learn all the areas of building my brand first by myself before hiring people to do these jobs. Plus I need a larger bag to pay the team to do all of this. I know your story and how you started out in the truck. I've gone back and watched a good amount of those earlier episodes and I wanted to reach out because I genuinely respect the way you've built grits and eggs. Not just the growth, but the consistency, the voice, the patience it clearly took to get here and to see what you've. Where you've taken it in such a short amount of time is admirable. Aside from clearly needing a team, what are some things you would share with somebody just starting out on their own podcast journey and is there any mistakes you tell them to avoid? Thank you for your time. I'll be tuned in regardless of you answering this or not. I'm locked in either way. Appreciate you either way. Hey man, thank you. Here's the thing. I always tell people about the social media proof of concept. Social media is where you're gonna promote anything, so you need a proof of concept. So if you are starting out with a podcast and that is your way of connecting and producing content on social media, you have to give it time because you need to create a proof of concept. Also, if you don't come from a media background, if you don't already have previously have some celebrity, you have to find people that connect with you as an individual before you start your podcast. So even though you are promoting your podcast, I would suggest getting on TikTok, getting on Instagram and doing selfie videos, front facing, like the selfie videos that most people do, where you just prop up your phone and you talk and give commentary on situations that are going on. It'll give people some insight to who you are, to your perspectives, to your personality, and it'll build a audience for you that you won't build otherwise on the podcast. Because podcasts have sort of, you know, a dark cloud over it because of how people have mishandled podcasting. People have used podcasts to rage bait and to engagement farm for so long that being a podcaster now is like saying you're a rapper. It's just like everybody got a podcast, everybody raps, don't nobody give a shit. So at the point, you gotta prove to people that you are someone worth listening to. So you need to get a little bit more personal. I know that you're sharing some very personal stories on there, and those are stories that you may have to reiterate as your audience grows, as I've had to. But you need to prove yourself on social media and short form content before people come holla at you. Long form, everything you're doing now is important to do. I did everything on my own at first. Big Cat came and helped me out of necessity. Y' all have heard that story several times by this point. Big Cat didn't come over here for no money. I wasn't making no money. Tristan didn't start out making no money. Suki didn't start out making no money. It was just a belief in what we was doing and it was a belief in me overall. So I'm thankful to my team that now everybody can get paid. But it started out with people that just believed and what I was doing and believed in what Grizznez could be as a whole. Not only for ourselves, but for our community and our people. So you need to get more personal with people. You need to become a content creator before you become a podcast host, because anybody can have access to a podcast, but not everybody can create content. And you just continue on the path. If you truly believe in what you're doing and you truly, you know, want it to be a success, you're gonna have to go through the avenues that other people have had, and that is being a personal content creator on social media before you get people to convert over to the Alive I Guess podcast. So, you know, y' all go shout out. Y' all go search that boy, RJ Gay Bird as the host and producer of the Alive I guess podcast, where he is creating a safe space to talk about mental health. All right. A Negro who found the light.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Oh, Lord. Let's go, man.

[Deontay Kyle]

What's up? Family? Peace and love from la wanted to share my experience with y'. All. A few years ago, I was one lost brother who was playing in the snow nonstop, diving headfirst into that avalanche looking for Snow Bunny.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Oh, he's a goddamn. He's a ex husky.

[Deontay Kyle]

This is a real converted husky. Brayden shaved that hair.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah. Big bull now.

[Deontay Kyle]

Yeah, he done got a fade. I've always been politically and socially invested in the advancement of our people, but I needed another way to attack the white man. So I started piping that woman down atrociously. This is an excuse that niggas use a lot of. You're not, like, honoring the ancestors by the enemy.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, the ancestors, the enemy side.

[Deontay Kyle]

There ain't nothing there. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Before we just see where this is gonna go. Yes. Yeah. Just take a pause to take a break. Okay. Just understand that this brother was lost. He was lost, and he found a lot.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Now he's found.

[Deontay Kyle]

Okay. All right. Until I met the final boss of Snowball. Oh. Oh, I'm sorry, y'. All. I'm final cold. I'm on the last leg of this cold.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

The final boss of the snow.

[Deontay Kyle]

Final boss of the Snow Bunnies. Nuts. Until I met the final boss of snow bunnies. A5.5 thick in the thigh, blonde headed shouted one night together turned into a couple months, would turn into a full relationship of two years. Before meeting her, I never thought about getting married and having a family outside of my race. But shawty had me rethinking everything. I had to sit down and be honest with myself. As much as I deeply love her, I want my children to be black. I want my household to be black. I want my wife to be black. I had to ignore friends and certain family who told me I'm being ignorant by choosing race over love. But understand that black love is fully and truly loving thyself. After breaking up, I took a year off from dating to do some soul searching. And one night, I ran into the love of my life while visiting. Visiting A museum. She's physically and mentally everything I've ever wanted and needed. Black, with natural curls. Slim, thick, intelligent, got some pretty toes.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

We related, sir.

[Georgie Pops]

Big ice cup.

[Deontay Kyle]

You, man. We've been together three years and she's going to be my wife. I am beyond blessed that I didn't allow my emotions control my actions, but rather allow the voices of my ancestors to speak to me. The only way I can end this. What do you say? The only way I can end this email is by quoting the Honorable Dr. Umar Black Queens forever. Snow bunnies never. Hey, we back. Oh, man, we got another one, man. Hey, bro. Hey, you know it ain't nothing to.

Maybe, maybe 33 years old seeking financial advice. My mom and dad didn't really teach me financial literacy and I had to get savvy with some things during COVID I've bought books, listen to money podcasts by black women because who the fuck else would I trust? But when it comes to really knowing where my money goes, I'm horrible at it. My 4 year old is in private school.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

That's majority of your money right there.

[Deontay Kyle]

There goes the money.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah, that's it.

[Deontay Kyle]

There goes the money. I do have a big girl job. I make a decent wage. That keep us comfortable. My kid's dad also gives me a generous amount per month since we split up. But most of that goes into my bank account and trust that I have for the little one. My main reason why I'm writing you is because I'm about to come into some major money soon. I'm a surrogate for a wealthy couple. Different story for a different day. Please tell us that story.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yes.

[Deontay Kyle]

Blow that. Blow that. What you need to do with the rest of that money is go talk to a wealth manager, a financial accountant, somebody that knows what to do with money. You don't have to have everything figured out with money. I got a meeting with a wealth manager this week. We gotta. You know what I'm saying? Cause I gotta pay people, nigga. I need invoices, I got payroll, all that shit. You know what I'm saying? Big Cat gotta get paid. If Big Cat don't get paid, ain't no grits and eggs. We back. Tristan don't get paid. Ain't no grinching eggs for sure. We gotta pay, Jack. We gotta pay Suki for sure. Listen, don't be scared of the money, okay? Being scared of it, the scarcity mindset, the fear of having more, the fear of growth is gonna keep you broke because you're gonna blow it because you're scared of it, okay? You're gonna come into the money with this mindset of, like, I ain't never had this. I ain't never had. It's the fear of losing it that's gonna make you lose it. It's the fear of, you know, it's a very real thing. You do have this money. You do deserve this money. Whatever you had to do to earn this money, you had to carry another baby.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

You know what I'm saying? Just create a nigga rich budget.

[Big Ice Cup Cat]

Yeah.

[Deontay Kyle]

You know what I'm saying? Maybe 10% take that trip with you and your baby. Maybe 15%. If. If the. If the. Listen, I'm gonna tell you something. If a. If a nice trip is going to deplete it, it ain't real money, okay? It's a little bonus, but it ain't real. Money. If a nice trip is going to deplete it, it ain't real money. Okay? Create your nigga rich budget. And while you in the journey and while you in your nigga rich moment, please be mindful that you need a wealth manager, a financial advisor, somebody an accountant. Somebody didn't know what to do with their money. Somebody know how to spread that money. Somebody who could add to the trust that already got, you know, pay to pay to pay to pay to pay private school off for a year, you know what I'm saying? If you're going to continue to carry babies for rich people, you know what I'm saying?

[Georgie Pops]

They say without the proper labor, faith.

[Deontay Kyle]

Don'T stand a chance.

[Georgie Pops]

I put my faith in faith and stand on fertile land. I planted seeds that'll indeed turning the trees before resting peace tease get printed to me unless impeded. Matter of fact, that got me thinking back when Mr. Love was tending to his garden, schooling me to annuity before he grabbed his clubs to go golfing. And it's no coincidence that doe still had the caddy back when woods were still the best. Don't let me roll off course here, Georgie Pops was dropping jams while I was lighting six. But you know, I too was listening with both ears. You see, that's the best that I can do. Wisdom is the application of knowledge. I was picking up what he was putting down. Just wasn't applying it. I ain't denying it. Nah, maybe I was too busy trying to find the balance between religion and science. Trying to get to the bottom of everything while being the highest, like a pilot's roots. Am I right, brother? Cause I was simultaneously relaying it through reason and rhyming that I sought for us dissecting systems responsible for our imprisonment. The visionary with astigmatism in Scar Corne. Yes. If love is blind, then what am I? You can't fight fate, that's why.
