Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Lateness & Family Time Games

[01:38–04:00]

• The crew talk about calling Na’im earlier to ensure he’s on time (“This is exactly how my family treats me – they tell me everything starts early, so I’ll be there on time.” – Na’im, 02:38).
• Discussion devolves into how, in their families and especially black households, event times are flexible (“My mom does the opposite; she tells everyone a later time so she’s not the latest.” – Sydney, 03:29).
• Multiple stories about food, lateness, and various Thanksgiving/dinner habits—including who gets asked to bring what dishes.

2. Toilet Paper, Food, & Family Rituals

[06:00–08:28]

• Hilarious discussion of not flushing toilet paper in some cultures (“I don’t want people seeing my shitty toilet paper – have shame!” – Na’im, 07:23).

• Brief tangent on Pepto-Bismol turning stool black, confirming it’s temporary and harmless (“Pepto Bismol can cause black stool... reacts with sulfur...” – Zac, 08:49).

3. Quick Plugs and Promotions

[09:41–11:14]

4. Corpse at the Club: Wild Funeral Customs

[12:26–18:33]

• They react to viral news of rapper Goonew’s family propping up his embalmed body at a nightclub memorial (“I think the thing that's most disturbing is that he's standing.” – Zac, 15:09).
• Funny and morbid speculation about logistics (“They probably stuck some fucking poles up the back of his heels.” – Na’im, 13:26; “Just pour some lean in his mouth.” – Sydney, 13:44).
• Philosophical debate about death and memorials in black communities.

5. Children’s Book: “Stay Away From Snow Bunnies”

[20:04–24:47]

• Review of a children’s book warning black boys to “stay away from snow bunnies” (i.e., white girls), humorously dissecting black culture references and double standards ("Can you imagine the opposite version of this book for white girls?" – Zac, 22:04).
• Lively talk about the origins of the "snow bunny" stereotype and black/white name culture: “You got a woman with actual interest. That’s what divides it right there.” – Na’im, 21:47.

6. Great Black Names & Black Superheroes

[24:52–34:29]

• They riff on creative football player names (e.g., “General Booty,” “Kool Aid McKinstry,” “Tiger Shanks”), linking it to cultural blending: “Now white trash people are naming their kids the same thing as black people.” – Na’im, 24:42.
• Best Black Superhero Debate:
  • Static Shock: “Hands down, outta here with everybody else.” – Sydney, 28:59.

7. The Origin of High-Fives and Cultural Mandela Effects

[36:20–40:46]

• Sydney shares how high-fives only became common in 1977, stunning everyone (“The first high five — 1977. Confirmed by my dad!” – Sydney, 37:16).
• Confusion about “the pound” (fist bump) and handshake traditions, and how pop culture backdates these gestures.

8. Florida Roulette: Guess The Crime

[57:45–80:04]

• The group plays a recurring game guessing from real mugshots what the Florida arrestees did—riffing on people's faces, names, and “I did it!” attitudes.
• Notable entries:
  • Smiling young woman: “She bashed her boyfriend’s head in with a hatchet while he was sleeping. She’s charged with attempted murder.” – Shannon, 79:01.
  • Discussion evolves into analysis of the physical cues of mugshots, assumptions, and cultural confluence shown in new “white Jaron” names.

9. Trinket Gene: Obsessive Collecting Fads

[48:48–55:08]

• Dives into why humans get obsessed with fads—Labubu dolls, mystery boxes, yo-yos, crazy bones, fidget spinners, LEGOs.
• Theorizing a “trinket gene”: “I think humans have a trinket gene. Like we have a gene for God... there’s a trinket gene for sure.” – Sydney, 53:56.

10. On Childhood Trauma, Therapy, and Family

[70:12–76:16]

• Zac, Sydney, and Na’im get candid about therapy, processing trauma, and parent–child communication.
• Memorable story: Zac’s private blog gets printed and read aloud to the school’s child study team: “In my mind, now I get it. This is the villain arc. This is how we got here.” – Na’im, 73:41.
• Sydney and Na’im share real experiences with therapists feeling out of their depth.
  (“My college therapist told me after one of our sessions... he went home and cried because he couldn’t believe my coping skills.” – Sydney, 72:07).

Tone & Atmosphere

Casually outrageous and irreverently funny, the energy is familial, fast, and fiercely honest—a blend of classic morning radio and contemporary, off-the-rails indie podcasting. The hosts and guests riff comfortably, dropping subversive takes on everything from bowel movements to family trauma, uniting pop culture, black communities, and personal vulnerability into a chaotic—but surprisingly structured—comedy jam.

---

For New Listeners

You don’t need to have listened to previous episodes or know the guests personally to jump in—this episode’s chaos is welcoming, with discussions that are as culturally sharp as they are laugh-out-loud reckless. The show’s highlights include cultural tales, comic book nerd-outs, games, and an unfiltered look at the overlap between black and mainstream American culture. If you like your morning radio with a shot of truth serum and zero restraint, this is your zoo.

[Naim Ali]

Good morning, guys. Hello, Zach.

[Zach Amico]

How you doing, buddy? On time.

[Naim Ali]

I feel deceived is how I'm doing.

[Zach Amico]

You know what? Sometimes it's necessary.

[Sydney Gantt]

Let's go.

[Zach Amico]

How you doing, Budd?

[Sydney Gantt]

Perfectly fine, man. No need to deceive me.

[Zach Amico]

Wonderful show up on time. Yeah. Indeceptible, some call them, but on the deceptible side.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Shannon lied to Naim. Said the show started at 11:30 and he's here on time. So perfect.

[Sydney Gantt]

No, he was not. No, he. That's the important.

[Zach Amico]

He was here on time for this show.

[Sydney Gantt]

He was still on top of this show. But he still showed up 10 minutes later.

[Zach Amico]

Okay, that's okay for his live time.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, that was the.

[Zach Amico]

That was the intention.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

You know, we just got to move everything, you know, you just gotta just move it back a hair and everything will be good.

[Naim Ali]

This is crazy because this is exactly how my family treats me. They tell me everything is starting an hour earlier than it actually is so I can be there on time. And I feel like everybody just lies to me now. Now everybody's just lying.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Can I ask an Honest question, out of ignorance, what time are black holidays? Usually if you have dinner and you're going to go over for like not Thanksgiving, but like say like Easter dinner.

[Sydney Gantt]

Well, Thanksgiving in the black community is the last Friday of the month.

[Zach Amico]

I thought it was the first.

[Naim Ali]

That'd be easier. But yeah, I mean, in my family, because my family's a bunch of old ass people, they do shit early. But like my older sister, when she's like having Thanksgiving and shit, bro, we ain't eating till 8, 9 o', clock, bro.

[Zach Amico]

That's crazy.

[Naim Ali]

That's 8, 9 o' clock at night.

[Sydney Gantt]

My mom does the opposite that you guys did to Naim. She tells everybody a later time so that she's not the latest. Oh, yeah. So she lies the other way.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Sydney Gantt]

So that she doesn't look bad.

[Zach Amico]

Very deceptive.

[Sydney Gantt]

I think it's a beautiful system.

[Zach Amico]

I think it works.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

My family does give me about an hour before they actually intend on me being there.

[Naim Ali]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

But I'm also the only one coming from New York. Everyone else lives in the house.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, okay. Right, right.

[Zach Amico]

Or is coming from five minutes away.

[Sydney Gantt]

My family's dilemma is that I'm the person that shows up on time for our family events, but I'm the only person that they never asked me to bring anything.

[Naim Ali]

Really?

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Wow. Cause you don't know how to cook or anything.

[Sydney Gantt]

No. Cause I talk too much. If, like, if you can eat my and nobody else's, I'm making a whole thing.

[Naim Ali]

Okay. Right.

[Sydney Gantt]

They want me to tone down the rhetoric at Thanksgiving meals. And I'm not gonna. That's insane.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

If you show up, if two people show up with Mac and cheese, if you ask me to bring the Mac and cheese and somebody else shows up with Mac and cheese, knowing that I was asked originally to bring the Mac and cheese. Thought that is an affront to my sensibilities as a person.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

That's fighting words.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

So at the very least, if nobody eats your bullshit Mac and cheese, I.

[Naim Ali]

Can at least now gotta rub it in your face.

[Sydney Gantt]

I should have fought you. I should have fought you. When you came up with that Mac.

[Zach Amico]

And cheese, you should've knocked the tray out of their hand.

[Sydney Gantt]

You know what I'm saying?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Now it's Mac and cheese and floor. We always had to go early. We always went, when I was a kid, went super early. Cause my mom can't cook for shit. But so they turned that into. She decorates the table.

[Naim Ali]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

Basically, I feel like everyone has been giving my mom side quests to keep her away from the food.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So it's like, oh, Alice, you're so good at setting the table.

[Naim Ali]

Mm.

[Zach Amico]

So we would go like two hours early. And then my mom would go and I made the crescent rolls. Literally the thing you just pop open.

[Naim Ali]

The dish and put in the oven.

[Sydney Gantt]

I put the pill. Pillsbury Crescent.

[Naim Ali]

Right, right. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Thanksgiving, eight is great to me. Thanksgiving is like two.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And then you do second Thanksgiving, you do dessert around 4 or 5. And then you do turkey sandwiches at like 8, 9 o'.

[Naim Ali]

Clock. Okay.

[Sydney Gantt]

If you showed up at my Grandma's house at 2 o' clock expecting to eat, they might call the cops on you. That's crazy.

[Zach Amico]

And then. So then we had the Cuban side of the family. Cuban guy, his family would invite you over and they hadn't started cooking yet.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So they would be like, come, come at 4. And they would be like getting out of the shower and starting to like, put together what they were going to cook. And they now a fucking tv.

[Naim Ali]

Damn. What the hell?

[Zach Amico]

You had a TV in the basement, but we weren't allowed down there.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So you just sat.

[Naim Ali]

They had to sit and wait for them to finish cooking.

[Zach Amico]

You just sat for hours in old people house.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

This is how I know it's an authentic Spanish house because you. You couldn't flush toilet paper.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, yeah. Yep. They do that. They want you to put in the trash or some weird shit like that by.

[Sydney Gantt]

That's some refugee shit, right?

[Naim Ali]

It's fucking. I used to work at this warehouse and there used to be a bunch of Mexicans that worked there and they used to take shits. And then it'd be all this shitty toilet paper in the fucking trash can, bruh. You go in the bathroom and it's just piles of shit paper.

[Zach Amico]

My. My uncle's cousin just came and visited and as they were leaving, he's like, hey, can I use your bathroom real quick? And they leave and my aunt comes out and she's like, why is that shitty toilet paper in the fucking garbage?

[Naim Ali]

Yes. Disgusting.

[Zach Amico]

And. But I think in their head that all places do that. Like all places don't have flush.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Like the flu. The power of the flush, right?

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

If you go to a place and there's no shitty toilet paper already in there.

[Zach Amico]

Yes. I would make that judgment call.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, yeah. Flush it then. You don't do that.

[Sydney Gantt]

Smell the. Pick the trash can up and smell it also.

[Naim Ali]

Hey, hey. How about this? Have some shame. I don't want people seeing my shitty toilet Paper. Absolutely not. Put that shit in the toilet, bruh. The fuck are you doing? Have shame.

[Zach Amico]

You can learn way too much about me real quick.

[Naim Ali]

Yes. Yeah, bruh. Listen, I would much rather you disrespect my pipe system in my fucking.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. The last thing I need you to know is that the last few wipes are red.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. Cindy's been eating nothing but oops, all berry for a week because this shit is green. Why is it lime green?

[Zach Amico]

When I was a little kid, my mom called the doctor because I had shit forest green. And what did he eat? And my mom goes, an entire box of blueberry cereal.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. There you go.

[Sydney Gantt]

Isn't it crazy that it turns it green for me?

[Zach Amico]

Actually, it's purple or blue dye.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And the thing that. Dude, the shit that scared me the most when they came out with the Darth Dew Slurpee, it was like, an almost black purple.

[Naim Ali]

Oh.

[Zach Amico]

And I shit neon green. It was bananas. The other thing I always forget when I take Pepto Bismol, that you shit black.

[Naim Ali]

Really?

[Sydney Gantt]

I didn't know. I've never. I don't think I've ever had Pepto.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, me neither.

[Zach Amico]

Shannon, am I crazy? Is that just tap? Can you Google that? Is that a me thing?

[Sydney Gantt]

All my shits are black. I sit on the toilet, my asshole goes, nigga.

[Zach Amico]

And then 40 minutes.

[Naim Ali]

Then 40 minutes later, you shit.

[Sydney Gantt]

Oh, my. Just got here.

[Zach Amico]

Yes. Pepto Bismol can cause black stool. The active ingredient reacts with the sulfur in the digestive tract to form black bismuth sulfide, and. Which is excreted. It's harmless and temporary, by the way. You don't think that the first time you ship black?

[Naim Ali]

I remember. So sometimes with newborns, that first shit come out black. It's like a watery black shit. And I'm like, what the fuck? I thought something was wrong with my son. I'm like, what the fuck? Why does it look like. And they were like, no, his first.

[Sydney Gantt]

Goonu, real name Markel Marrow, was shot and killed at 24 days later, his handle held a controversial memorial service at Bliss nightclub, where his embalmed body was dressed in designer clothes and propped upright on stage as if he were still alive. Videos of the unusual tribute quickly spread online, sparking debate over if it was a powerful celebration of life or a disrespectful display. Shannon.

[Naim Ali]

No.

[Zach Amico]

What the.

[Naim Ali]

This creepy as.

[Zach Amico]

Okay, question number one.

[Naim Ali]

No.

[Zach Amico]

What do they use to make him stand?

[Naim Ali]

They probably stuck some fucking pose up the back of his heels or something.

[Zach Amico]

Is it in the clothes? Hopefully.

[Naim Ali]

Hopefully they put it through his like skin. But it could have.

[Zach Amico]

Cause he's pose and I feel like.

[Naim Ali]

And that's not. They not just. I don't think they would trust him to just balance. Yeah. They gotta have something sticking to the ground.

[Sydney Gantt]

They just pour some lean in his mouth.

[Naim Ali]

Damn. That's.

[Zach Amico]

I would hope it's in the clothes. I hope it's gotta be some type of structural.

[Naim Ali]

His.

[Sydney Gantt]

His sweatshirt shoulders look a little up.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Harness.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, hopefully he was harnessed.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, harness. Or a big ass kickstand or something. Yeah, like.

[Shannon]

Like a doll stand where it's like a stick and then a wrap around the back of the neck.

[Zach Amico]

I know, exactly. Yeah, that would make sense. Why would they make those people size? I guess for mannequins.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, yeah, probably.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I don't.

[Naim Ali]

I wonder if he requested that or if his friends just 24.

[Zach Amico]

I don't think you request that.

[Naim Ali]

True. You're not thinking about dying at 24.

[Zach Amico]

You think a 24 year old rat.

[Naim Ali]

You know what? Yes, a lot.

[Sydney Gantt]

I know a lot of things about dying.

[Naim Ali]

Yep, yep, yep. Yes. I know a lot of that. Live day to day. They like, I might die today, dude.

[Sydney Gantt]

Every. Every. Almost every person that is. I would say like in that path.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Like a lot of when I die conversations coming up.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Because they. And they always say every birthday they like, I never thought I was gonna be 22, bro. You like, damn. You never thought you'd be 22. That's crazy.

[Sydney Gantt]

Not when I was 21. 21 was wild.

[Naim Ali]

My dad told me that. My dad, when he was like dying at 86 years old, he was like, I ain't thought I was gonna make it past 30. And I'm like, what bro? He's like, he like. All this was borrowed time. I'm like, you thought 56 years was borrowed time.

[Sydney Gantt]

He scored 56 bonus points.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, like, damn.

[Zach Amico]

I think the thing that's most disturbing is that he's standing.

[Naim Ali]

That is the. Yeah. They could have put him in a chair.

[Zach Amico]

I think if he was in a throne or something like that.

[Naim Ali]

Way less creepy.

[Zach Amico]

Way less creepy.

[Sydney Gantt]

But would it bother you? Because it would bother me less if he didn't look like he would still pull more bitches than me.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, right?

[Sydney Gantt]

That pisses me off.

[Naim Ali]

Hell yeah. And he had the Mary clothes on, bro. He had a fucking thousand dollar hoodie on. Come on, what are we doing?

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, I don't like it.

[Naim Ali]

He definitely getting more bitches than me. I'm saying that's crazy.

[Sydney Gantt]

I don't like that.

[Zach Amico]

And he's dead.

[Shannon]

Does it also look like his eyes are open?

[Sydney Gantt]

Shannon was like, doesn't look like he's open minded and thoughtful.

[Naim Ali]

She just said, do you see?

[Sydney Gantt]

Yes.

[Shannon]

I don't know how they make that happen.

[Zach Amico]

I think, forgive me for being morbid, those might be glass eyes. Because I think your eyes go quick.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those things dry up quick.

[Zach Amico]

I think. See the amount of shit they do to you?

[Naim Ali]

What?

[Zach Amico]

When they prepare you to bury you, like, first of all, he's stuffed with newspaper, probably.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. They gotta take the organs out.

[Zach Amico]

They take that shit out. So he's full of newspaper or something. Full of roughage.

[Sydney Gantt]

Full of roughage.

[Naim Ali]

Yo, what if the niggas that killed him came to the club, was like, oh, this nigga back. Get the fuck up. Start shooting this nigga up again.

[Zach Amico]

Yo.

[Sydney Gantt]

They start driving a steak through his heart, throwing garlic at him. Yo, get that holy water. Get that holy water.

[Naim Ali]

That's crazy.

[Zach Amico]

Aim for the brain, son.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, damn.

[Zach Amico]

So I would assume glass eyes and then his mouth is sewn shut and his tongue's gone. Because they gotta do that because they gotta sell your mouth shut. So during the funeral you don't go. Cause I've had friends that work at the morgue. And you make noises.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, yeah, they do make noises.

[Zach Amico]

They said that they'll have a voice box by yourself. And like his air and shit is escaping.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So you'll just hear a corpse go.

[Naim Ali]

Like, that's fucking cool.

[Sydney Gantt]

I would love to hear that. Cause that's that person's real voice.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, true.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, it is true. That's their truest voice.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. I want to hear everybody's death rattle.

[Naim Ali]

Damn.

[Sydney Gantt]

Naim sounds like this.

[Zach Amico]

I think it's the. It's creepy.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I think a Throne would be fine.

[Naim Ali]

Throne is fine.

[Sydney Gantt]

His freshness is creepy to me. He's too fresh.

[Naim Ali]

Put him on a motorcycle. That's fine.

[Zach Amico]

That's a. Yeah, I've seen that's baller.

[Sydney Gantt]

Or do have him like this. Like avoiding the bullet.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

[Zach Amico]

He's in the matrix. He's doing a matrix.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. Yo, swing it back.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. You need to find a dead hoe and put her bent over.

[Naim Ali]

He getting a dead ass Wally, bro. That's crazy. Yo, who does this? That should be illegal.

[Zach Amico]

It's creepy. It says it was his family that put it together.

[Naim Ali]

What the fuck?

[Sydney Gantt]

Listen, it's creepy also Slash who does this? But the fact that it was executed shows ambition.

[Zach Amico]

No, he was executed.

[Sydney Gantt]

By ambition.

[Naim Ali]

Ambition.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Ambition's got a new record coming out. He needed some good press.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Black guy writes bud for him. I just stopped there. Black author writes.

[Sydney Gantt]

I bet you we didn't read it though.

[Zach Amico]

Warning Black boys to stay away from snow bunnies.

[Sydney Gantt]

He ain't long.

[Naim Ali]

Okay, there you go, Snow bunny.

[Zach Amico]

Channing.

Stay away from their actual snow bunnies.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hashtag blackboy. Joy, do we have any info about the show?

[Shannon]

I do. Yeah, I have. If you click away from that, I have a synopsis of the book.

[Zach Amico]

Excellent.

[Shannon]

So Malcolm is the liveliest and most adventurous boy in town. When a snow bunny. Snow day. Sorry. Beckons him outside, Malcolm's curiosity leads him into the world of mischief with his best friend, Umar. But when his parents warn him to steer clear of the sneaky snow bunnies, Malcolm must decide whether to heed their advice or succumb to temptation.

[Sydney Gantt]

He better not disappoint Umar.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, Umar.

[Sydney Gantt]

Umar, is it?

[Naim Ali]

Yo, did Dr. Umar write this book?

[Sydney Gantt]

Nah. Somebody trying to get his approval, though.

[Naim Ali]

Okay. Yeah, gotta be.

[Sydney Gantt]

Also, real quick, I would say Shannon. I wouldn't classify her as a snow bunny. Definitely a white rabbit.

[Naim Ali]

Okay.

[Sydney Gantt]

Not a snow bunny, though. You know what I mean?

[Zach Amico]

What would be the deciding factor on what's a snow bunny?

[Sydney Gantt]

Like a basic bitch. You need, like, uggs, you know? Stanley, that's a snow bunny.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Starbucks kind of bitch.

[Naim Ali]

Yep. Starbucks bitches is snow bunnies.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

I thought I was getting one. I ain't get one. I got a white rabbit at home.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's definitely not a snow bunny.

[Sydney Gantt]

Dog. I be seeing snow bunnies.

[Naim Ali]

Like, fuck.

[Sydney Gantt]

I thought you tricked. She tricked me.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. You got a woman with actual interest. You see what I'm saying? Like, that's what kind of divides it right there.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. Which I was not planning for this, man. Fucked up. You're having a woman with interest.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, bro, that's the worst. She's too busy sometimes.

[Sydney Gantt]

She got interest. Now I don't got free time.

[Naim Ali]

Yep.

[Zach Amico]

I'm just thinking, can you imagine the opposite version of this book of white for white girls?

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Once you go black, don't stay away from jungle bunnies or some shit. Yeah. Yeah. That's craz.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, that would be wild.

[Naim Ali]

I'm sure that book had to exist sometime in history.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, of course.

[Naim Ali]

That book had to exist sometime in history.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. It's an instruction to how to get your jungle fever vaccine.

[Zach Amico]

I remember in high school, they had to take a book out of our high school library called My Friend the Negro.

[Naim Ali]

Yo, I heard that book. Yeah, I heard that book.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. But they had a few books, I think, that were pretty outdated.

[Naim Ali]

But that book was progressive for the time when it came out. Cause it was basically saying like, hey, you can be friends with a black guy.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. And then his school was like, no.

[Naim Ali]

You'Re not on my watch.

[Zach Amico]

Not Jaquan. Not Jaquan.

[Sydney Gantt]

They are not friendly.

[Zach Amico]

By the way, that was the black guy in my grade. Jaquan.

[Naim Ali]

Jaquan.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

I have a Jaquan cousin.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. People our age, that's when those names start coming out. Like people were our age. That's when all the jaquons and the DeAndre's and all that shit was coming up.

[Sydney Gantt]

Dude, I came up with Jay Don, not. Not Jaden.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, Jay Don't. I love the Key. And Peele the football.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, yes.

[Zach Amico]

And I think I wrote a fake black name that might really be one of my favorite things I've ever written.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

It's with the apostrophe, of course. D' Onofrio Vincent.

[Naim Ali]

D' Onofrio Vincent.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. That's crazy.

[Naim Ali]

There's somebody that plays for the Florida International right now, I'm sure. That has to be his name.

[Zach Amico]

You guys get the joke though, right?

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Okay, okay, okay, okay. For some reason, it just popped up in my mind the other day. Imagine a black. It has to be in a movie one day. I have to put it in and not acknowledge it.

[Naim Ali]

You like.

[Zach Amico]

You mean like the actor, right? Nah, man. D' Onofrio Vincent. CEO.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, bruh. They get real interesting with these names now, dude.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, yeah, White kids. They're white kids now. Yeah. Well, you know, what's that now? Me and Mike Racine, we just talking about this now because of the Internet, the cultures is just like, going, like, just blending completely together, which is a good thing. Yeah, it should just.

[Sydney Gantt]

It should just be American culture.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. I mean, that's. Yeah, that's basically what it is now.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

So now white trash people are naming their kids the same thing that poor black people are naming their kids.

[Sydney Gantt]

White trash has always been doing that. Snow bunnies are doing it now.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

You know?

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Okay. All right. That. That's. That's a strong boy.

[Sydney Gantt]

You know, I. I don't go by back home. I don't go by Sydney. Nobody calls me Sydney. What do they call you? Scotty.

[Zach Amico]

Really?

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, really.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Middle name or.

[Sydney Gantt]

Nah, it was. So my. I'm named after my uncle, Sidney Richard Gantt. He's named after his mom. His dad and my mom's dad are not the same. He's named after an uncle on his side. And then my mom gave me his name, which is. She got his last name, too, because he was older. So she gave me his name and gave me his nickname, too.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, so his nickname was Scotty.

[Sydney Gantt]

His nickname was Scotty because he looked like an uncle on his dad's side, okay, Named Scott.

[Naim Ali]

Named Scotty.

[Sydney Gantt]

They called him Little Scotty, okay, Instead of Sydney. And then when I got the name Sydney, I also got his nickname.

[Zach Amico]

Okay, okay, that's fine.

[Naim Ali]

That's cool. That's better than earning a weird nickname like a lot of niggas in the hood. You got a weird Nickname. Cause you did something weird.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. I grew up with this. This dude named Poopsie.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. We had a boo butt.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Because he shit on himself. And everybody kept calling him Boo Butt. And they still, to this day, they call him Boo Butt.

[Sydney Gantt]

Ironically, Poopsie was our town's most prominent snow bunny hunter.

[Naim Ali]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

I believe that.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. Successful.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Like, 100% successful.

[Zach Amico]

Did the girls call him Poopsie?

[Sydney Gantt]

Poopsie.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I went to high school with a kid named Fat Crap.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

It was not me. And I remember one time, his mom came to school, and she had to get him or something, and she's like, you guys know where John is? And we're like, no. And she goes, I'm Fat Crap's mom.

[Naim Ali]

Yo, Dale. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I think Fat Crap listens to the show, by the way.

[Sydney Gantt]

Oh, shit.

[Zach Amico]

Shout out Fat Crap.

[Naim Ali]

Shout out Fat Crap.

[Sydney Gantt]

Let's go, Fat Crap. Hell, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

All right. Now, this was. I thought we could have some fun with this. Shannon, did I give nominees for the superhero thing, or did I just say. Let's talk about it?

[Shannon]

Just let's talk about it. I have a list here, so I.

[Zach Amico]

Thought this would be fun.

[Naim Ali]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

Hanging with the boys. Best black superhero, static shock.

[Sydney Gantt]

Hands down. Out of here with everybody.

[Zach Amico]

A lot. And I understand.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Very important to the community.

[Sydney Gantt]

Dude.

[Naim Ali]

It's so many of them with lightning power.

[Sydney Gantt]

He's the most powerful.

[Naim Ali]

There's a lot of so many black. Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Static shock is the most powerful. Bishop was the most important.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, yeah. Because he, like, saved the future.

[Zach Amico]

See, now, to me, it's Spawn. But do you guys count Spawn as black?

[Sydney Gantt]

No, I. With Church.

[Naim Ali]

Too much.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Zombie. But he's still black.

[Zach Amico]

Okay. You know, I feel like Spawn was representation pretty early.

[Naim Ali]

Yes.

[Zach Amico]

And I would say that I think.

[Naim Ali]

Storm is the strongest, though.

[Sydney Gantt]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Storm is.

[Naim Ali]

Come on.

[Sydney Gantt]

But, like, she a woman, dog. Come on, man.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

I don't care that she has everything Static Shock doesn't have. He only has static.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

That's all he got. And I'm like, no, he's the most powerful. She makes 75% of the electricity he makes.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, but she can make a hurricane right now.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, she can.

[Zach Amico]

Steel, unfortunately, named.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

But I do. So I was super.

[Sydney Gantt]

Well, it was stolen, but so I was super. That.

[Zach Amico]

That era of comics is when I was, like, a kid into comics.

[Naim Ali]

Like, when Superman died. Yep. Yep. Same Boy Steel.

[Zach Amico]

I was eradicated.

[Naim Ali]

Yep. Inside. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's when I was heavy into.

[Zach Amico]

And that was awesome.

[Naim Ali]

Yes. It Said because Superman died. But then what spawned from that was like. Yes, it was.

[Sydney Gantt]

It was what? It was tied for the one of the two best times in comic books, in my opinion. People are gonna hate me for saying this, but, dog, the new 52 was the. Yeah, it was.

[Naim Ali]

It was.

[Sydney Gantt]

And. But because it was trying to recreate that, right?

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, it was.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

For me, it's Maximum carnage.

[Naim Ali]

Okay. Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Death of Superman.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And this is gonna be controversial about Marvel versus dc. That's it.

[Naim Ali]

There you go. People hated that. I loved it. Yes. The.

[Zach Amico]

When the universe is colliding.

[Naim Ali]

I love that shit, dude.

[Zach Amico]

Dark Claw.

[Naim Ali]

Yes. That was the.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Wolverine. Batman. Did I write, like, did you break into my eight year old?

[Naim Ali]

Right? Like, what the fuck?

[Zach Amico]

And when Batman. Who's his enemy? Oh, fucking hyena.

[Naim Ali]

Saber tooth Joker. Yes.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Did you break into my brain, bro?

[Naim Ali]

I'm not gonna lie. When that shit. When that shit hit the streets, dog, I kind of got scared. I was like, there's no more new ideas from here.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Like, this is the pinnacle of ideas. You can't go.

[Zach Amico]

The only thing that broke my heart about that, and I do, I'm a Wolverine aficionado. Love them. They did Lobo dirty.

[Naim Ali]

They did Lobo dirty.

[Sydney Gantt]

Why? I can't remember. I'm sorry.

[Zach Amico]

It's. So they had whatever. It was like 10 fights.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And the bit was whoever. Whichever team won the most fights, their universe got to stay.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And they would basically just be transported somewhere. And usually like. So for Hulk versus Superman, they put him like in the middle of nowhere so they wouldn't wreck anything. So they wouldn't hurt anybody. They just like Lobo and Wolverine just pop into a bar and Lobo sit. Wolverine's sitting there smoking a cigar or whatever and they just pop behind the bar and you hear like bang. Pow. Boom, bang, bang, bang. And then just Wolverine comes up and keeps smoking.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So you don't see any of the fight.

[Naim Ali]

That was a bummer. And it's like, like, like Lobo was just no competition.

[Sydney Gantt]

He was warm. He was a warm up.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

It was like work.

[Zach Amico]

I am pretty pumped that they're going to have Lobo coming.

[Naim Ali]

That's gonna be fire, universe. Yeah, that's going to be fire.

[Zach Amico]

Did you see what they said? James Gunn posted the next. What the next Superman is?

[Naim Ali]

No, what is it?

[Zach Amico]

Man of Tomorrow. It's where him and Lex Luthor have to team up. And they think it's going to be to kill Brainiac.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, shit. That's Going to be fire.

[Zach Amico]

Because the picture James Gunn tweeted is Superman with a screwdriver putting the Lex Luthor armor on him.

[Naim Ali]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

So they can see on to Lex Luthor. So they can.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, so they can team up. Oh.

[Sydney Gantt]

First of all, the idea that Superman needs a screwdriver is hilarious.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, dude, just turn that with your fingernail.

[Zach Amico]

Can you bring up the black superheroes one more time and make sure we're not missing anybody? Good.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Who else is it?

[Naim Ali]

Who's Misty Knight? What is. I don't know.

[Zach Amico]

Misty Night Shannon. There you go.

[Naim Ali]

Miles Morales is pretty strong. He's got static shock powers. Also, he got electricity and he can go invisible.

[Zach Amico]

American comic book followers or Marvel Comics. Yeah, I don't know her. Yeah, I'm not. Caesar's missing an arm.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. I don't know who it is.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, that's. That's not a great one.

[Naim Ali]

Cyborg is sad.

[Sydney Gantt]

Oh, Jon Stewart dog. John Stewart's pretty strong.

[Naim Ali]

Greenland.

[Sydney Gantt]

Greenland.

[Naim Ali]

Greenland is pretty sure.

[Sydney Gantt]

The darkest night. You read that series?

[Naim Ali]

No, it was that one.

[Sydney Gantt]

It was when they had all the Green Lanterns basically trying to down. So it was like senescent. It was the Sinestro Wars. It was after the national wars. The darkest night was like everything leading to all the Green Lanterns having to do things that they would never want to do.

[Naim Ali]

Okay.

[Sydney Gantt]

And then death. It was like. You know how they all the colors, like yellow. The yellow ones, the green ones, when it was a black one and it was just death.

[Naim Ali]

Damn.

[Sydney Gantt]

They had to. Had to like, fight him off.

[Naim Ali]

Jesus.

[Sydney Gantt]

But they needed to all come together. But the yellow. The Yellow Lanterns just weren't having it.

[Naim Ali]

Right, right, right.

[Sydney Gantt]

You know, so it was like. Like the red ones were insane. And then the yellow ones just weren't having it because they wanted power. So it was really. The green was in the blue ones. Had to, like, bring the yellow and thought it was crazy.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Crazy.

[Zach Amico]

Damn, that does sound fun. I gotta read that.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, it's fun.

[Zach Amico]

All right. So I think we've decided. I think we've all put out.

[Naim Ali]

I say storm.

[Zach Amico]

Storms. Pretty.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, she's strong. If you can control the weather. That's everything.

[Sydney Gantt]

That's. She's objectively obviously the most. But I can't in my heart.

[Naim Ali]

But could she beat Bishop, you think? Because Bishop can absorb energy and then shoot it back out.

[Zach Amico]

Is Bishop's somebody.

[Naim Ali]

He's from the future.

[Zach Amico]

Isn't she his son?

[Naim Ali]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Bishop is her son. That's right. You're right.

[Zach Amico]

Is her and Wolverine no, no, no.

[Naim Ali]

Her and. No, it's her.

[Sydney Gantt]

And it's a white dude, isn't it?

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, it is a white dude.

[Sydney Gantt]

Wolverine is a white dude.

[Naim Ali]

But no, it's somebody else. It's her.

[Zach Amico]

And isn't Cable Cyclops and Jean Grey's kid?

[Naim Ali]

Yes, I think so.

[Sydney Gantt]

Because I was gonna. I almost. When you. I almost said Cable was Storm's baby daddy.

[Zach Amico]

No, Bishop. Yeah, I think Bishop is Storm's kid, right?

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, Bishop is Storm's kid, but I can't remember who the dad is. I remember Storm's. That's definitely Storm's kid. Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

It's funny that when you were like Wolverine, I was like, nah, it's a white guy. Like, Wolverine is a white guy. The same way Ryan Shaner is a white white guy.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. You know what I mean?

[Zach Amico]

Barely makes it.

[Sydney Gantt]

Barely.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, barely.

[Sydney Gantt]

Like, just made it.

[Naim Ali]

I remember that episode of X Men when they traveled back in time to the 1960s with Bishop, and he was like, wait, people used to be mad cause you were black? He like, these black don't even have any powers. What is everybody so mad about?

[Sydney Gantt]

This motherfucker showed up from the future when Jerry Curl.

[Naim Ali]

When Jerry Curl in 1960. Like, how the fuck are they mad that you're black? You don't even have any powers.

[Zach Amico]

You, sir, have not seen an Olympics.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, watch these run, bro.

[Sydney Gantt]

So I just found out something that was, like, retro in the past that lied to us. When do you think the first high five happened?

[Naim Ali]

Oh, it had to be, you know, what? Wild, wild west times.

[Sydney Gantt]

Okay. When do you think the first high five happened?

[Zach Amico]

High five. Medieval.

[Sydney Gantt]

Okay. So I found this out from. I was talking to my dad, and long story short, he ended up telling me he loved me. For the first time ever, I laughed at his face. Yo, that. We ended up getting into a conversation about how he's been lacking intimacy and he doesn't give hugs and stuff. So what did you do? He was like, handshakes. And I was like, dad, you played basketball. You were. He was a basketball star. I was like, you never gave a high five. He was like, high fives didn't come out when I was in high school. So I'm talking to him. He's like, no, I don't fuck with high fives.

[Naim Ali]

What?

[Sydney Gantt]

They're too showy. And I'm like, like, dude, when did high fives come? He was like, doe. When I was in my late twenties.

[Naim Ali]

What the.

[Sydney Gantt]

So I googled it. Yeah, the first high five. 1977.

[Naim Ali]

Get the out of here. Bro.

[Sydney Gantt]

Dude. Confirmed by my dad, saying that they didn't exist.

[Naim Ali]

What the 1977.

[Sydney Gantt]

Not only that.

[Naim Ali]

That's true.

[Sydney Gantt]

He remembers the origin. It was a baseball game. He remembered this was a big deal. When it had a big deal, it. Dude, it took the world by storm.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

So then my dad's freaking out. He's like, dog. They start. He was like, because it's too showy. It's too showy. Celebration for my dad. Then they started coming out, all this other stuff. They sort of give me the low five. And then they did this thing where they would miss each other and then come back. Yeah. He was like, nah, that's what it said.

[Naim Ali]

It said.

[Zach Amico]

It said it was a baseball game where he instinctively slapped his hand. And then at University of Louisville basketball team the next year, they spontaneously started high fiving each other. And they called it a high five.

[Naim Ali]

Look. But the low five came out in the 1940s in the African American community. Okay, so it started out with. It started out with. With these ones.

[Sydney Gantt]

So.

[Naim Ali]

Hey, my man. Hey. Start out with those.

[Sydney Gantt]

So the high five.

[Naim Ali]

Damn. And then somebody said, yo, let's bring it up here.

[Sydney Gantt]

No, no, no. It was. It was a black guy and a white guy miscommunicating on how to celebrate. Oh, the white guy hit the home run. The black guy was, like, selling, like, yeah, we did it.

[Zach Amico]

Like, celebrating.

[Sydney Gantt]

When he rounded home plate, he smacked his head.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. They probably like, what the was that? What the did we just do?

[Sydney Gantt]

Both of them were like, what are we.

[Naim Ali]

What the.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yo, let go, let go, let go, yo.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, that's crazy.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

What? I thought that should been out for centuries.

[Sydney Gantt]

Oh, yeah. By the way, that's a. That was a World war. Fun piece of history for you guys.

[Zach Amico]

The other day, it had to be weird. Like, it almost felt like a kiss. Like, yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yo, the first time you felt like another man's hand sweat flash in your hand. Yeah, that had to be crazy.

[Naim Ali]

But it's like that. Anytime you synchronize something with another man, you're like, wait, are we gay, bro?

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

What the was that, by the way?

[Zach Amico]

The low five was definitely just to pass drugs to people, right?

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, for sure. Passing off a little heroin on the side of.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. The low five was to trade money for substances.

[Naim Ali]

Had to be.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And then white people are like, why don't we do it up here in front of everybody? Friendship.

[Naim Ali]

Yo. That's crazy. Damn. We gotta invent a new thing then.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Cause that means you can still invent new things.

[Sydney Gantt]

You can still invent new things. So the thing that messed everybody up up is in the 80s, they started making movies about, like, the past and putting high five.

[Naim Ali]

Oh.

[Sydney Gantt]

In like, wild west movies like Starbucks.

[Naim Ali]

On Game of Thrones.

[Zach Amico]

Yes.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't do that.

[Sydney Gantt]

Can't do that.

[Naim Ali]

What?

[Sydney Gantt]

That's how you Mandela affect the whole entire nation.

[Naim Ali]

Yes. So when did the panel come out? When did this. When did people start?

[Sydney Gantt]

So my dad was around when that came out too. I didn't look it up, but he was like. And when that came out, I wasn't with that either.

[Naim Ali]

Damn. That's right. Came out in the 80s or something that seemed like.

[Zach Amico]

I feel like there's a high five or at least a low five in Blazing Saddles.

[Naim Ali]

Really?

[Zach Amico]

I feel. Yeah. And that's around that time, I think.

[Sydney Gantt]

A high five. There's high fives.

[Naim Ali]

Damn.

[Sydney Gantt]

They also put in comedy westerns from back then. They would put, like, high five freeze frames, like jump.

[Naim Ali]

Right, right, right, yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

So to further make you think the high fives have been around forever.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. That's crazy.

[Sydney Gantt]

Isn't that crazy? Because, like, my. My dad's generation obviously wouldn't be tricked by that because they were there when it happened, but we.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Got tricked into believing that it's been around forever. Ancient form of celebration.

[Naim Ali]

Hell yeah. That's nuts.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

That is the. The pound seems like 1950s Vietnam.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, really?

[Zach Amico]

It was a gesture of solidarity among African American soldiers As a modified black power salute. It used to express unity in a time of high five.

[Naim Ali]

So the pound was out before the high five. This is all backwards.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. Crazy.

[Naim Ali]

I swear the pound came out after the high five.

[Sydney Gantt]

What are we doing? So is the tradition of boxers touching gloves at the start of the contest? Is another possible origin of the gestures?

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, but that's. That's a little different, though. Yeah, but yeah. Dang.

[Sydney Gantt]

So that's why when. When you were telling the story about your. Your one armed gentleman friend from earlier and one arm wigger friend, I have to say that when I was like, what hand did you lose?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

I needed to know that he had the right hand so he could still dap up the homies.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

So when you said, right, I was all right. He good?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

He's living life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's still living his best life.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, he's having a good time. All right, moving on.

[Zach Amico]

And you can save 15 today with the promo code ZOO15.Z O [e-mail] that's bodybraincoffee.com promo code ZOO15. Power your day, fuel your drive. Let's get back into the program. Slither. Oh, we got a fight at a Benihana.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, fight.

[Zach Amico]

That's dangerous.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, bro, those hot ass fucking grills.

[Zach Amico]

You throw somebody on the grill, it's over. Bash their face into that.

[Naim Ali]

Hell yeah. Just hold it down on the grill.

[Zach Amico]

Or even if you fall backwards and you're gonna put your hand.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, you put your hand out.

[Zach Amico]

Oh, say it.

[Naim Ali]

How you gonna fight at Benny hum?

[Sydney Gantt]

Oh, the cops are already there.

[Naim Ali]

What the hell? Oh.

[Zach Amico]

Dude, this is danger. Shouldn't all the chefs just be throwing eggs and at them?

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, they should. Yeah, they should be throwing them with the spatula.

[Zach Amico]

They should just be beating the out of them with spatula.

[Naim Ali]

Hell yeah. What the. How you gonna fight at Benihana?

[Sydney Gantt]

I know, right? I'm like, dog, we gotta have this, this discussion on our knees, man. We can't be tall enough to full on table.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, right.

[Zach Amico]

That's a security, I think, not a cop.

[Sydney Gantt]

Okay, that makes more sense. You know what, you know what? When people are crashing out in public like that, I don't think they get their chain snatched in public enough.

[Naim Ali]

True. Or their pockets ran in.

[Zach Amico]

You know what I mean?

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

You doing all that, it's like just. Yeah, take something from this guy.

[Sydney Gantt]

Low five his pockets real quick. Come on, come on.

[Naim Ali]

How you doing it? And once security comes, you got to just chill the out, bro. Just chill.

[Zach Amico]

No.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, there's no, nothing else going to happen.

[Zach Amico]

What is do you think you're going to beat up all of security?

[Naim Ali]

Yo, you're not Jackie Chan. There's nothing you could do in a situation. Just chill out. That's crazy.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. I would never give, like, a puffy muscle dude the time of day. Like, if a puffy. If a puffy muscle security dude came up to me, I'm not gonna escalate it so that he gets to put his hand.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, no, they're waiting for that, bro.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it's like they get up every day and put that on.

[Naim Ali]

Yes. And they're like, yo, I'm beat the. Out of somebody. Today's the day.

[Zach Amico]

Today's the day. I'm choking.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

As soon as they come to me, I get real polite. And then my man, I'm like, got you.

[Naim Ali]

Hell, yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

You thought you had one. Look at me being the bigger man. Gotcha.

[Naim Ali]

You got to know when to turn on the charm.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

That I can't even imagine. Well, it's a communal dining.

[Naim Ali]

That's what I'm saying. I don't understand how you can even get into an argument at Benihana. You know what? Some. Maybe they mixed up a plate. You know how they bring the stuff out?

[Zach Amico]

Maybe somebody at all they serve you.

[Sydney Gantt]

They do be skimping. All right, But.

[Naim Ali]

But, you know, first they bring out. They bring out the separate first, and then they start cooking in the middle of the grill.

[Sydney Gantt]

Okay, but, dude, also the middle of the grill, when you get something from the middle of the grill, if you're at the end, you don't get no rest.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, true. Yeah. You get the least amount. Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Crazy.

[Naim Ali]

So that could have pissed him off.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

You gave him way more rice.

[Zach Amico]

You think he was mad that he was throwing everybody else shrimp?

[Naim Ali]

He's like, I wanted you to throw one in my mouth.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yo, maybe. Maybe his shrimp got intercepted.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, right, right.

[Zach Amico]

He went to throw it to him, then he put it in his hat.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, that trick.

[Sydney Gantt]

He Harlem Globetrotted him. He acted like he was gonna throw a bucket of shrimp at him, and it was confetti.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, dude. I actually just. I hung out with a guy. I. Two guys who work for the Globetrotters. One was a tour, like, bus driver, because I didn't know they do, like, Christmas time, they'll do an American tour, and then after Christmas, they do all of Europe, Australia.

[Naim Ali]

Really? I didn't know that.

[Zach Amico]

And then I have a buddy named Zach who's a wrestler. Big. Big. He's, like, 7 foot tall. He was on the Washington Generals.

[Naim Ali]

Okay. The Team that loses all the time.

[Zach Amico]

And he was like, yeah, so, you know, coach was telling us. I was like, you guys have a coach?

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. For what? To lose? What do you have? What is he telling you guys?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it's like, okay, listen guys, I know we're a little behind.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I'm telling you, when they take out the bucket, the first one's water, the second one's confetti.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And I need you to keep an eye out. He might have the ball on his finger like a. Yo, yo.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, yo.

[Sydney Gantt]

Imagine being in your, like, scout him like, all right, he's a left hand bucket poler. We gotta, we gotta make him go left with the bucket.

[Zach Amico]

Imagine scouting like nine year old. You're at like all star game for nine year old. You're like, go talk with the parents. Like, hey, I represent the Washington Generals. We got an eye on your kid.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, he takes losses really well.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

We noticed that your son is a 7 foot tall white guy who really laughed it off when the black kid pulled his shorts down.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, right, right.

[Zach Amico]

And everyone laughed at him. He took it in stride. I even think he'd make a great general.

[Naim Ali]

Damn.

[Sydney Gantt]

One of the. One of the funniest times. So me and Ansley, we used to talk shit about basketball. Like I would talk shit about how all the black basketball players were made athletic and the white basketball players were just there to get dunked on. And we were watching a game, I don't think it was Keith Van Horn, but it was a real tall, gangly, unathletic looking white guy. And I was like, that guy is just there to get dunked on. All dog. He had a two hand power dunk on a. Like on a black dude that jumped.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

And auntie went like this.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, bruh. It's different now. Shit's real different now, bro. The moment Brent Barry got in the NBA, that's when everything changed. When Brent Berry was in that slam dunk contest, it was like, oh, all right now, now white guys are athletic now. He's just super athletic because he was.

[Sydney Gantt]

Like, he's like a white guy. He wasn't like Jason Williams. He wasn't white guy.

[Naim Ali]

He wasn't a wigger. Britt Barry was just a white. He was a white guy that was just athletic.

[Sydney Gantt]

This was a certified public accountant.

[Naim Ali]

Right. Just ducking on people, bro. Remember W. Zerbiak? Oh my God, he was like a. He like Tom. Like a tall Tom Cruise.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

It was just great at basketball.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. Like a church leader.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. Like it was crazy.

[Zach Amico]

Isn't that. That's. Shane said that in one of his specials that you're getting like, these, like, European white guys in the NBA because they've never. They never got shut down in high school so much.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

That they were like, I can't pursue this.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. No day.

[Zach Amico]

They didn't have that day.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. Yep. They stepped in with full belief. That's crazy. Yeah. That's crazy. All right.

[Zach Amico]

We're gonna keep it moving. All right, here's a fun one. Woman sells her soul for a collection of Labubu dolls.

[Naim Ali]

Ah.

[Zach Amico]

I don't. These are. They're like a mystery box toy, right?

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

I'm being introduced to this right now.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I've never heard about. They're like a mystery box toy.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. See?

[Sydney Gantt]

Oh, this seems like something my girls would be into.

[Naim Ali]

People wear these around their neck. They do all types of things with these little boo boos.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Yeah. So. But it's like you. You don't know which one you're gonna get until you open the box. And you gotta buy it first.

[Naim Ali]

They look evil as hell.

[Sydney Gantt]

They do look evil.

[Naim Ali]

These things look demonic. Who did she sell her soul to? Just some random person. You. Are we allowed to do that?

[Shannon]

So there was a. This happened. I guess this happened.

[Sydney Gantt]

Who did she sell her to?

[Shannon]

So it was a controversial social experiment where a guy on telegram said that he offered to pay. Yeah. It is Russia. A hundred thousand ruples, which is 11 $80 to whoever wanted to sell their soul to him and sign a contract with their own blood.

[Naim Ali]

A thousand dollars?

[Shannon]

Yeah. 1180, I guess.

[Zach Amico]

If you don't believe in your soul.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

What? I sell my soul 30 times.

[Sydney Gantt]

How would you establish the exchange of the soul contract?

[Shannon]

Signing the contract with your blood and that's that.

[Sydney Gantt]

Now I have the soul.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Okay.

[Naim Ali]

What? Man, that shit. He's an idiot. And she's also an idiot. But he's an idiot. What are you. You're buying nothing.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. You're buying nothing.

[Naim Ali]

You can't buy somebody if you got.

[Zach Amico]

Money and you collect souls.

[Sydney Gantt]

But. Yeah, also if you're. I mean, you might as well, like. Listen, the only way we can exchange the souls is you gotta suck it into my dick. Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Okay. Now that's where you really are. Selling your soul. If you're not gay and somebody make you do some gay bro.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Then you really sold your soul. That's. Your soul was gone at that point.

[Zach Amico]

Sold your hole.

[Naim Ali]

Like, that's crazy.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. You need to feel a little icky. After selling yourself.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, exactly. It's not like you just sign this paper, I'll give you a thousand dollars, then I own your soul. I'll sign up here. Be like, yeah, if you don't own.

[Sydney Gantt]

Anything, if you only feel like you just came up, up, you didn't sell yourself.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. You ain't sell. Yeah, but. Yeah, if you. If you feel, like, embarrassed and shameful.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, but if you got money, Money, like, I'm talking like, you money.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And you just have a filing cabinet of soul souls, it would make everything feel good with pictures of everyone.

[Naim Ali]

It would make you feel good.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, I. Listen, I have no question for the guy buying souls. That just. That makes the most sense to me. Yeah, it's the selling of the soul that's like. That's.

[Zach Amico]

It's kind of. What are they saying? Bought the Labumu's whip that money.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So the.

[Shannon]

She spent that money on concert tickets and like a gift pack or something of a bunch of Labubu dolls. And then also it says that the Russian Orthodox Church weighed in on it and said that the woman truly sold her soul and therefore chose evil and predicted that moral and personal decline, illness, suffering, and even death would come for her.

[Naim Ali]

Damn.

[Sydney Gantt]

That's not.

[Naim Ali]

That's up for them to say that it is up.

[Sydney Gantt]

But hold on. That's. I don't. I don't like that. Because you're not actually predicting anything. Because the type of person that's going to sell their soul to make money.

[Naim Ali]

To buy, of course they, like, go to.

[Sydney Gantt]

It was going to.

[Zach Amico]

They're not. They're not financially stable.

[Naim Ali]

She makes horrible decisions.

[Sydney Gantt]

You making observations, not predictions.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, true.

[Zach Amico]

Have you seen with the mystery boxes, the way people, like, try and circumvent it. It.

[Naim Ali]

No.

[Zach Amico]

So they. They figured out. So some of them. Because some of the mystery boxes, the inside weighs different.

[Naim Ali]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

So they'll bring a little scale to the store and put each box on the scale until it's the weight of the thing they want. Or now, I guess there's certain ways to tell with the code and there's apps you can get. Okay, so people are just digging through boxes, what, Scanning until they find the thing.

[Naim Ali]

Are these things, like, worth money? Are they, like collectibles?

[Zach Amico]

I don't know. I think it's like the mystery boxes, where you, like. There's certain rare ones.

[Naim Ali]

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

You know, like, if there's wrestlers, there'll be one that's like a clear John Cena. That's like one out of Every.

[Naim Ali]

Right, right, right. It seems like every few years there's a new thing like this.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. I think we had crazy bones when I was a kid.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, I remember crazy bones. I remember crazy bones.

[Sydney Gantt]

I remember babies.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, Beanie babies.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Where those other things called furbies.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, Furbies. Tamagotchi.

[Sydney Gantt]

So I think we.

[Zach Amico]

We have.

[Sydney Gantt]

You know how they say yo yos.

[Zach Amico]

Were big when I was yo yos the brain.

[Naim Ali]

You ever learn how to walk? Walk the dog.

[Zach Amico]

I was terrible.

[Sydney Gantt]

Listen.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, bro. Yo, I had a phase. I was good at the yo yo for like two years.

[Sydney Gantt]

So what, other than walk the dog, what else could you do?

[Naim Ali]

I could do the. Around the world.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

I could make it sleep. I could just hold that down and just make that.

[Sydney Gantt]

Throw it out. Make it come.

[Naim Ali]

Yes, I could throw it out. Yeah. Yep. I could throw away and come back. I was nice with the yo yo.

[Sydney Gantt]

I can still. You give me a yo yo right now. I can still walk.

[Naim Ali]

Give me about. Give me about five minutes. I get it back. I get it back.

[Sydney Gantt]

Give me two yo's.

[Naim Ali]

Yep. Give me two yos.

[Sydney Gantt]

Give me two yos. I got that.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, but that was my shit. I had a yo yo phase.

[Zach Amico]

The one with the bearings in it. The brain. That was the hot one.

[Naim Ali]

That was the hot one.

[Zach Amico]

Can you see if there's a commercial for the brain yo? Yeah. That was so hot.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. Sixth grade for me.

[Zach Amico]

That was so absolutely bananas.

[Naim Ali]

Yes.

[Sydney Gantt]

Dude. I think humans have like a trinket gene.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, for sure.

[Sydney Gantt]

You know, like we have a gene that makes us believe in God. Yeah, so they say. I think we have a. Like there's a trinket gene for sure.

[Naim Ali]

It got to be something because it's.

[Sydney Gantt]

These fads hit us hard.

[Naim Ali]

They do remember fidget spinners?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

My God.

[Naim Ali]

Like, that was those things.

[Sydney Gantt]

I still got them in my house. I feel like be cleaning shit out, I'll come across a fidget spinner and just start fidgeting. Let me just.

[Naim Ali]

Hell yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Let me just get back to fidget.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, we do like to just tinker with little things. Yo, we love that shit.

[Sydney Gantt]

We love it, bro.

[Naim Ali]

Chris o' Connor makes these fucking, like, you know, like the adult Legos. So they have like k'.

[Sydney Gantt]

Nex.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, but. But you could buy sets that are like. It's like famous, like mansions and. But it's the adult LEGO version. And bro, I'm talking about the tiniest little Legos. And he's just sitting there just tinkering, and I'm like, bro, that would piss me the off. Yeah, like something like that.

[Zach Amico]

That's a job.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, that's a job. I don't want to do that. I don't have to.

[Zach Amico]

I don't want to do tiny construction. Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

No.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. He's got, like, a tiny little hard hat on. It's like a tiny little wheelbarrow.

[Naim Ali]

I'm like, bro, why are you doing that?

[Sydney Gantt]

Sweat off his brow.

[Naim Ali]

He's like, yo. He like. He just calms my mind. I'm like, bro, your mind is crazy. If that cals it, that's craziness. Yeah, people love the tinker.

[Zach Amico]

Early yo yos were primitive.

[Naim Ali]

It was hard to do tricks, and.

[Zach Amico]

They just weren't very cool.

[Naim Ali]

Then came modern technology and the Omega Power brain. Wow.

[Zach Amico]

Return.

[Naim Ali]

So it's smart enough to spin and.

[Zach Amico]

Then come back on its own through.

[Naim Ali]

That light you can think of with the omega power brain.

[Zach Amico]

The Omega power brain.

[Naim Ali]

So you don't need one. You'll make a power brain.

[Sydney Gantt]

I had the green one that had the lights in it.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

My.

[Zach Amico]

Holy. That brought back so much.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, bro. That's fire.

[Zach Amico]

You know what? I was. I've said this before. I was looking at the other day. You ever see a toy and you remember what it smelled like?

[Naim Ali]

Yes.

[Sydney Gantt]

Every time.

[Zach Amico]

Yes, dude.

[Naim Ali]

I remember what Hot Wheels smell like.

[Zach Amico]

Street Sharks.

[Naim Ali]

Street Sharks. Yes. Because they were kind of, like, rubbery.

[Sydney Gantt]

Didn't smell like the wrestlers.

[Zach Amico]

No, they.

[Naim Ali]

They had a different smell.

[Zach Amico]

So there was the Street Shark figures, but then they also had Street Shark hand puppets.

[Naim Ali]

Yes, I remember those.

[Zach Amico]

And those were the same smell, but stronger.

[Naim Ali]

Yes, I remember those.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Damn. Street Sharks. That was my Street Sharks. Biker mice from Mars.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. We went over all these.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, those are my damn.

[Zach Amico]

Because the Street Sharks toys all came back out, and I was looking at them, and they're. I understand that with inflation, like, $30 for an action figure is probably about right.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

For what they were when we were.

[Naim Ali]

Back there, were they $8 or some shit? $9?

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it's probably about right.

[Naim Ali]

That makes sense.

[Zach Amico]

But still, I'm like, I can't. I can't spend $150 on street sharks right now because I bought a bunch of Marvel toys. And I have this theory that, like, the high end, like the. The Marvel legends, like, the nicer ones that are like 40 or 50 bucks. Yeah, I noticed they're fucking huge, right? Like, I bought this juggernaut that's enormous. And I realized I think they're making them that size so that we feel like we did when we were kids and held them.

[Naim Ali]

Right, that makes sense.

[Zach Amico]

So the same figure. That would have been six inches.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Or whatever. Five inches when we were a kid. Now it's like. Like a foot tall.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

Because now when you hold it in your hand, it's the same.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. When you were a little kid.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, they scaled up.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, it's the same scale.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense.

[Sydney Gantt]

Except for Ryan Shaner. They're all bigger than him now.

[Zach Amico]

He's got his own foot long toy to play with.

[Sydney Gantt]

He jumps on their backs.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, we've seen. We've all seen that picture.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

All right, let's do one or two more things before we get out of here.

[Sydney Gantt]

He's gonna hate me for that unnecessary stray.

[Zach Amico]

Let's. Let's have a little fun. Tours again. This is a little game that Shannon and I came up with. It's called Florida Roulette.

[Naim Ali]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

And we are gonna look at some Florida mug shots and try and guess what they got arrested for. Let's do it, Shannon. Florida Rouletas. Okay. I'm judging based on the eyes already.

[Naim Ali]

She's high off weed for sure.

[Zach Amico]

This is a dwi maybe resisting.

[Naim Ali]

Spicy little mommy.

[Sydney Gantt]

No, she has like a. I did it. And what kind of look on her face?

[Naim Ali]

This trafficking.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. I'm gonna say vandalism.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Huh. I think she's trafficking drugs.

[Zach Amico]

Trafficking.

[Sydney Gantt]

I'm say she vandalized.

[Naim Ali]

She Mexican or Puerto Rican or something. They be having all the drugs trafficking American.

[Sydney Gantt]

That's got is the name of the episode, right?

[Zach Amico]

We don't name episodes, right, Shannon? We just put the.

[Sydney Gantt]

Hell yeah.

[Shannon]

It'll be a clip though.

[Naim Ali]

Traffic in America. That's nice.

[Zach Amico]

So we've all put an answer. Shannon.

[Shannon]

So she was charged with battery, domestic violence.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, shit. I'm telling you, she does have that face.

[Sydney Gantt]

It looks like. Yeah, I did it.

[Naim Ali]

And what. Yeah, it is a show.

[Sydney Gantt]

I'll do it again.

[Naim Ali]

I'll do it again. Yep. That is. I'll do it again. Women are so fucked up. Cause they will beat the fuck out of us. And then do that.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

And then have a mug shot. Snarl in the mug shot. Yeah. It's like, yo, you're a monster. What are you doing?

[Sydney Gantt]

I do that. I have like. So I'm. I'm like. I used to have a chronic habit of pissing off those types of children.

[Naim Ali]

Chicks and making them do and making them attack.

[Sydney Gantt]

I just incite them.

[Naim Ali]

Well, when I first started comedy, it wasn't just when you do that to everybody yeah, well, fair. But this tried to piss. He was trying to make men fight him so he could choke him out. He tried to make women. He tried to piss women off so they could swing on him.

[Sydney Gantt]

No, no, no, dude. I was like, I just had a beef issue. I was a chronic beefer. I was a chronic beefer, but this was my dating life. That chick was my dating life.

[Naim Ali]

Right, right, right, right.

[Sydney Gantt]

You're right about the chronic beef. The pathological beef in afterwards. For sure, that that existed. But so I have my scale. My scale for hotness is based off of. So a certified Betty is a chick that. When she looks like. When she's looking at you like that. Yeah, she's still hot.

[Naim Ali]

Still. Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yes, that's a certified.

[Naim Ali]

True. True.

[Sydney Gantt]

And then you have, like, pretty chick. Yeah, pretty chicks don't look like that when they make.

[Naim Ali]

No, they don't.

[Sydney Gantt]

Right.

[Naim Ali]

They still look a little cute.

[Zach Amico]

They ugly cry.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, exactly. Yes, yes, exactly. Dude, this girl.

[Sydney Gantt]

Daddy's sexy cry. Dude, there is, like, everything true. Yeah. So certified, baby.

[Zach Amico]

All right, all right.

[Sydney Gantt]

Fantastic.

[Zach Amico]

Shannon. Next. Next contestant. He looks like I. Jay Moore.

[Naim Ali]

Child porn. Thanks, buddy.

[Sydney Gantt]

I would say he crashed his car into something.

[Naim Ali]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

I'm trying to figure out.

[Naim Ali]

His tank top has some white residue.

[Sydney Gantt]

I was thinking, like, dust. Like, stuff. Stuff falling on him.

[Naim Ali]

Maybe he stole some milk.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I was thinking that might be fire extinguisher exhaust.

[Naim Ali]

Could be fire extinguisher exhaust.

[Sydney Gantt]

Or, dude, maybe it was just coming everywhere.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, true. You know what? Now I'm back on child porn.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, I don't think it's child porn.

[Sydney Gantt]

I think I hit my lady in the neck the other day.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, we were. We were missionary, and she stopped taking birth control. So we're trying to sort out how we're. How we're finishing. So I. I put, like a. Like a. Like a come rag on her stomach, and I was gonna pull out and just, like, kind of, like, angle my body down, dog. I pulled out and didn't even get the, like, angle.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Hit her neck. And we were both, like, impressed.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, bro, that's this.

[Sydney Gantt]

I'm 45 years old, bro.

[Naim Ali]

That's distance.

[Sydney Gantt]

That was like two and a half feet.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, that's some distance.

[Sydney Gantt]

So, yeah, God bless humble brag, I guess.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, humblebrag. Look at this guy. I want to put it up.

[Naim Ali]

He looks like he's embarrassed.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, he does. He looks ashamed.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, he looks ashamed. Like, you got me.

[Sydney Gantt]

You got me.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I'm gonna go grand theft.

[Naim Ali]

Okay, that is a.

[Zach Amico]

That is A Walmart or a Best Buy.

[Naim Ali]

You're right. He does. Like, he got caught stealing.

[Sydney Gantt]

I think he drove into something.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Naim Ali]

And I'm going to stick with child porn.

[Shannon]

Okay, so he. It was battery by strangulation. Also domestic violence.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, he hits. Oh, he do domestic violence.

[Sydney Gantt]

That was his chick earlier.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, right?

[Sydney Gantt]

They fought.

[Zach Amico]

His name Jaron.

[Shannon]

Yeah, McFarlane.

[Zach Amico]

Jaron.

[Naim Ali]

Jaron McFarland.

[Sydney Gantt]

That's crazy.

[Naim Ali]

How the is his name Jaron? Yo, what the is going on? Okay, okay, okay.

[Zach Amico]

Way to live up to your name.

[Naim Ali]

Right? Okay, look. Okay, so you ever play like Madden or like ncaa? Once you play like a few seasons past this year, like on your legacy mode or some shit, the white players start having names like that. It's like a black name mixed with a white name. That's how you know we in the future, bro. Yeah, this is crazy. Like, his name's Jaron McFarlane. A white guy with glasses. Yeah, bro, this is nuts. I like this. Yo, America. Really? America now. Now is America. We got a white Jaron.

[Sydney Gantt]

We there. We made it.

[Naim Ali]

We there. Yo, we did it.

[Sydney Gantt]

We made it.

[Zach Amico]

Jaron McFarland got a charge. She said E, I cannot breathe.

[Sydney Gantt]

And on that charge, he had a choke.

[Naim Ali]

Damn, he choked this lady. His face did look like he did something super embarrassing.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. All right. Trying to keep it moving, baby. Oh, now we're talking.

[Sydney Gantt]

Now we're in the deployment.

[Naim Ali]

I mean, I don't want to. I don't want to misgender this person. Person, let's say. Let's see here. You know what? Now this one is trying to meet a minor for sex. They're always trying to meet minors for sex.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. His upper lip almost makes the Batman symbol.

[Naim Ali]

It does.

[Sydney Gantt]

That's crazy.

[Zach Amico]

I'm gonna say he convinced an old man to tie thousands of balloons to his house so that they can escape like, up. Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Yes. That is the joke.

[Sydney Gantt]

He got upped.

[Zach Amico]

He got up. I think he up.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yep. I. I would say I. I'm gonna go to a work thing. I think he's probably like a. An RN at a job with old people. Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Cuz look at the uniform.

[Sydney Gantt]

Beat up old people.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I'm gonna go. That is a lesbian. And domestic violence, Dan.

[Naim Ali]

That is. That might not be a. That might not be a man.

[Zach Amico]

I don't know.

[Sydney Gantt]

But mine works either way because that type of dude and that type of lesbian would still beat up old.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Naim Ali]

And I going with man in Walmart trying to meet a minor.

[Zach Amico]

All right, Shannon.

[Shannon]

Okay, so pretty close. Naim. So this is a dude, or at least identifies as a dude. 28 years old. And 14 charges of unlawful possession of materials depicting child.

[Sydney Gantt]

See, that was my first guess and I went off.

[Naim Ali]

All right, now what I'm about to say, some people might. Don't get mad because it just is what it is sometimes with this type of shit, bruh. But whenever you see those videos of the people catching the. The predator, the pedophile hunters, there is always a gay man. Any race. Gay is always a gay black man, gay white man, gay Indian. It's just always a gay man trying to meet some little boy for. For. Dick sucks, bro. It's crazy.

[Zach Amico]

I think it might be you.

[Sydney Gantt]

Don't you think it's crazy that straight men aren't doing that when it's so tempting? Again, Naim, that wasn't an observation.

[Naim Ali]

It's never, it's never a straight guy trying to meet like a 14 year old girl. It's always a gay man trying to meet a 14 year old guy, little boy.

[Zach Amico]

See what you're saying, I think, and I'm not saying, of course it's one of those things where I'm not trying to equate pedophilia with homosexuality.

[Naim Ali]

Right.

[Zach Amico]

But I would say there's a small percentage of people that maybe were molested.

[Naim Ali]

Yes.

[Zach Amico]

And then their view of what sex should be is so fucked up.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, man, I equate everything. What do you want me to say? I'll say.

[Naim Ali]

One thing. I will.

[Zach Amico]

I have plenty of friends that have transitioned and they're still my friends.

[Sydney Gantt]

Absolutely.

[Zach Amico]

But every once in a while one will be like, my third, you know, this is my third year being a woman. So I'm a three year old girl.

[Naim Ali]

And I'll be like, oh, don't do that. You don't gotta say that.

[Zach Amico]

Yuckantilization is my number one. Yuck.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, you don't gotta say that. That's crazy.

[Zach Amico]

A person acting like a baby.

[Naim Ali]

Right.

[Zach Amico]

Grosses me out more than anything.

[Naim Ali]

That's fucking disgusting world.

[Sydney Gantt]

If that's something you hate, do not go to an acting school in a black neighborhood.

[Zach Amico]

I wouldn't.

[Sydney Gantt]

All the women, when they're doing their improv, they all act like little babies.

[Naim Ali]

That's crazy.

[Sydney Gantt]

Disgusting.

[Naim Ali]

You ever met a lady that talks in like baby voice like that, bro? That's fucking disgusting. Yeah, I hate that shit.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

And then especially if they try to pull it out while you, they try to pull a baby voice. I was like, yo, don't do this.

[Sydney Gantt]

Nah. I heard her real Voice when we were. Because I hit her.

[Zach Amico]

My friend dated a girl that she. The technical term, she called herself a little.

[Naim Ali]

No.

[Zach Amico]

And her and her friends would have, like, tea parties with stuffed animals.

[Naim Ali]

Why?

[Zach Amico]

Because she was molested. And, dude, they had. So she was a porn chick and they had flats, like fake walls to put up. And one side was a dungeon and the other side was a little girl's bedroom with, like, light brights and shit.

[Naim Ali]

What?

[Zach Amico]

And she would film porn in both.

[Naim Ali]

No.

[Zach Amico]

Yo, and she would. Dude, she would, like, get out of the car and be like, daddy bought juice boxes.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, no.

[Zach Amico]

And I hated it.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. Fuck that. I don't like that type of shit.

[Sydney Gantt]

Great nickname for a pussy, though. Juice box.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, Juice Box. That is a great name for a pussy. Juice box.

[Sydney Gantt]

I morally object to everything else you said.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

But I'm trying to get them juice boxes.

[Naim Ali]

Juice box.

[Sydney Gantt]

My lady's a little old. She got Capri sun now.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

You want that juicy, juicy back in the day.

[Sydney Gantt]

I need that little hug.

[Naim Ali]

Damn, bruh.

[Zach Amico]

Now you're saying that the girls got quarter waters.

[Sydney Gantt]

What kind of vagina your girl got? She got a juice box. She got a Capri Sun.

[Naim Ali]

What she got, I deal with organic, sophisticated. They got that coconut water. That shit got probiotics in it. Nigga, that shit make your stomach feel weird.

[Sydney Gantt]

I eat pussy and burp for 30 minutes.

[Naim Ali]

No. 1 time I was messing with this one girl, she was super hot. But every time we fucked, I would get nauseous. And one time I got diarrhea after we fucked. And I was like, this bitch gave me aids. You see what I'm saying? Of course I went, got tested, I was good. And I'm like, why is this happening? And then I remember I was talking to my sister about it, my older sister. And she was like, yo, sometimes people chemistry just don't make mix. Like, sometimes you're just not supposed to.

[Sydney Gantt]

Certain people, she got lactose something, bro.

[Naim Ali]

That every time, it would just my stomach up. Like, as soon as we got done, I'd be like, what the hell's going on?

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. Are you lactose intolerant?

[Naim Ali]

I am lactose intolerant.

[Sydney Gantt]

Probably what it was.

[Naim Ali]

Yep. He had some milk in there.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, she had that milk. That milk and honey.

[Zach Amico]

Damn, dude, that's. I can't. That. That little thing, it just friends that did it and like.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And then, like, you talking about the infantilizing. Yeah. And I. I said. I think at one point I was like, hey, man, that's fine. But like, that shit creeps me out. Can you guys like fucking take it back? And he's like, oh, no, that's fetish shaming.

[Naim Ali]

What? Well, I guess it is.

[Zach Amico]

And you know, you can't make her feel bad about it. And I'm like, I don't know. It's just. So I have this theory that when girls use the baby voice, it's them cluing you in to what age they were when they got molested.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, no. Fuck.

[Zach Amico]

Because think like it's. It's. They froze at that point, right? And now this is either my sex voice or my how I get things voice. Because girls will like, at a bar sometimes even be like, oh, did you want to buy me a dwink?

[Naim Ali]

Yes. Yes. I don't like.

[Sydney Gantt]

And I hate that women also, if I don't know, I don't. Women also like an idea of fairness that makes them try to go back and relive things that they feel like they didn't get the first time around. So they. I mean, as much as like, yeah, she was froze there, but she probably feels like like that time of her life was taken from her. Yeah, she wants.

[Naim Ali]

She needs it now. Like Michael Jackson.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. She needs closure.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

Bitches be needing closure.

[Naim Ali]

Do need closure.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah. I hate that.

[Naim Ali]

I feel like everybody needs closure, but when you turn it into that, cuz like, you ever met, you ever. Like, I got friends, like to this day, and they like get in fights with grown ass men all the time. They like, yeah, man. Cause I always hated my dad. Cause my dad wasn't. It's like, nigga, we. We gonna be 40 in two years, nigga. Like, grow up. Get over it. Like, you can't still be mad at every man because of your dad. Like, grow the up.

[Sydney Gantt]

You can't be getting knocked out in the street.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, you can't beat the up. Are you angry at your dad?

[Sydney Gantt]

It's like, bro, yo, everybody. Your dad now dog up by everybody.

[Naim Ali]

That's what I'm saying. Like, everybody be the enclosure with bro. Like, yo, get the over.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

That's why I. Dude, everybody just do zoom therapy. Do zoom there once every two weeks. Once. It's so. It's. You can talk about nothing.

[Naim Ali]

Yep.

[Zach Amico]

Talk that shit up, but just yap it out.

[Sydney Gantt]

She. I got my. I had a zoom therapist tell me that there's nothing she could do for me.

[Zach Amico]

Really?

[Naim Ali]

Really?

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, I had. That had to happen to me in college when I was seeing a therapist. And like when I tell them about the stuff that I Kind of went through, like, living in the house that I did. They're like, well, according to what you're telling me, you seem to have very good coping skills already.

[Naim Ali]

Right. Damn.

[Sydney Gantt]

And I'm just like, well, I wouldn't be here.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. Right.

[Sydney Gantt]

If I had good coping skills, you know? But damn.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah. I had a therapist tell me that I was going to trauma therapy after my older brother got killed, and she was just like, yo, I think you kind of, like, kind of grasped it.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Sydney Gantt]

That's a weird thing that they can.

[Naim Ali]

Say, like, six years. But she was like, I think you kind of. She's like, you seem like you're fine. And I was like, all right. This ain't gonna take no more money from me. Perfect.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, My. My college therapist told me after one of our sessions, he came back when he was telling me that he didn't think I could. He could do anything for me is because the way he handled what I told him about what happens to my life compared the way he saw me handling it.

[Naim Ali]

Right. His reaction was worse.

[Sydney Gantt]

Dude. He said he went home and cried.

[Naim Ali]

Damn, bruh.

[Sydney Gantt]

And couldn't believe the way that I was handling. So it's like, there's nothing I can do for you.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I wish I had a. A scrapbook of my therapist's face when I tell her stories from my childhood. And she's just poor Dr. Wendy. Dr. Wendy fucking gets the fucking brunt of it.

[Sydney Gantt]

Right. And I needed to go to. Because I got kicked out of school and I came back, and part of my conditions is coming back is I had to go to therapy for a certain amount of time.

[Zach Amico]

I had to do that, too.

[Sydney Gantt]

Two sessions in, he cut me off, and I was like, dog, I need this to be here. I can't be here unless I'm making you cry.

[Naim Ali]

Right? Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

So here's the. For me, I got kicked out of school in high school for being not a danger. Well, whatever. Somebody fucking took my goddamn live journal. And it was private, but they printed it out. I think it was my vice principal's daughter. She hated me and printed it out and gave it to the principal and the child study team. So I just get called out of class one day.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And I walk into the psychology room or whatever, the student counselor, and it's the entire child study team, the vice principal, and my mom crying, what with a. Printed out last two years of my live trial.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, no, yo.

[Zach Amico]

And they read it out loud in front of me.

[Naim Ali]

What the fuck, yo? In my mind now I figure out now, this is, like, villain arc. I figured out how we got here, and now I get it.

[Zach Amico]

And my mom is Eminem Juice.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, right?

[Sydney Gantt]

They Eminem'd you. This is crazy. He got eight mild boxes.

[Zach Amico]

And this was right around the time I was reading, like, Jim Norton had blogs on his website where he'd be like. And he would just have a new thing to rage against.

[Naim Ali]

Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Amico]

And I was aping that.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, right, right.

[Zach Amico]

I would just complain about the mall or whatever.

[Naim Ali]

Right.

[Zach Amico]

But it was, like, being, like, over. It was embellishing. It was making it, like, really big. Right. So, you know, he has anger issues, he's violent. None of which I had.

[Naim Ali]

Right.

[Zach Amico]

So I had. I got kicked out of school. I had to go take a mental evaluation to prove that I was allowed back among the other children.

[Naim Ali]

What?

[Zach Amico]

And it was two days in the woods doing, like, ink blot tests. Yeah, they say, yes, but you gotta go to therapy. So we went to this therapist who. I never really liked him, but this was a time I wasn't talking to. My parents had been separated since. Since I was in ninth grade. This is probably like, 10th, 11th grade. And I wasn't talking to my dad. We were completely shut off from each other.

[Naim Ali]

Right, right.

[Zach Amico]

So my therapist goes, I want you to write a letter to your dad and tell him every single thing that hurt you or that you're mad about. So the next week, I come in, he goes, all right, did you write the letter? Let's see. And I went, I mailed it.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yo, you ever see those? You ever see those assignments that's like. Like, they give you a list of, like, 20 things, and you start doing the things, and then you get to the bottom of it, and it's like, don't do any of these questions. He didn't get to that.

[Zach Amico]

I just did it.

[Naim Ali]

You wrote this instruction?

[Sydney Gantt]

He did the first instruction.

[Zach Amico]

I mailed it.

[Sydney Gantt]

The first instruction.

[Zach Amico]

And the guy goes, no, you're supposed to read it to me. And I went, oh.

[Sydney Gantt]

Oh, I remember it.

[Naim Ali]

Holy shit.

[Zach Amico]

And I went. He goes, this is like the big. And he said. He goes, this is the biggest fuck you letter I've ever read.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah.

[Zach Amico]

I went, yeah, yeah. And, dude, you know what? My dad wrote me a letter back, and we started talking again.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, there you go.

[Sydney Gantt]

Boom.

[Naim Ali]

That's how you get them.

[Sydney Gantt]

Wait, where were you living at the time?

[Zach Amico]

I was living with my mom in an apartment.

[Sydney Gantt]

Oh, okay.

[Naim Ali]

That's how you get him.

[Zach Amico]

So it was. It was my. My dad. It was my dad's parents house an apartment over my dad's welding shop. When my dad left, they sold the shop to another business, but we still lived in the apartment. We owned the building, and we lived in the apartment upstairs. But, yeah, I wrote my dad, and then he wrote me back.

[Naim Ali]

There you go.

[Zach Amico]

And he was like, I'm glad that we can talk about this. And that dude fixed everything.

[Naim Ali]

Fixed it. I mean, that's. That's something I always tell my kids, like, yo, be. Let me know how you feeling about. Because a lot of times as. I mean, y. We all know now because we're adults, but a lot of times, as an adult, we're just reacting to how we react to it. And if your kids can just tell you, like, especially if you open up that door, you're like, yo, yo, if you hate something that I did, say it. Like, if you don't like some say. I remember my son asked me for some AirPods, and I was like, no. I'm like, you. Only he was like 11 at the time. Like, no, I'm not giving you AirPods. Shit cost 125. Yeah, you're in sixth grade. You're gonna lose them. You don't need it. So then I eventually got him for him. He lost them. So he asked me for another pair of Dag. Another pair of airpods. I'm like, no. This called me the next day. He was like, I just think you hate me. You want me to have anything that I like. And I'm like, all right, so remember when I told you to, like, express yourself to me? Me? I was like, no more. No more Canadian spoiled.

[Zach Amico]

You know what I'm saying?

[Sydney Gantt]

Now we're having no more. Now you're talking to me in a way that makes me want to punch you in the face.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, right, Right.

[Sydney Gantt]

So I up.

[Naim Ali]

Keep your feelings to yourself. Also. You a boy now. You're gonna learn to keep your feelings to yourself. Hold that in, bruh.

[Sydney Gantt]

That's why I told my son. I was like, don't talk to me about some stuff, but some stuff you're gonna need to hold on to and be embarrassed that you held on to it later on in life.

[Naim Ali]

100.

[Sydney Gantt]

So you have to figure out what that is.

[Naim Ali]

Yes.

[Zach Amico]

Yeah. Because I do that thing where if I'm in a bad mood, I wake up and I just replay scenarios of times people pissed me off.

[Naim Ali]

Same.

[Zach Amico]

So by the time I get to my day, I've just played out 85 times. I've been mad.

[Naim Ali]

Yes. Yep. Yep. Every single time. You should have beat somebody up or said something back and you didn't.

[Zach Amico]

Yep. Just took it like a.

[Naim Ali]

Hell, yeah. Yep.

[Zach Amico]

All right, let's do one more Florida Roulette and then get out of here, Shannon.

[Shannon]

Okay, if we're doing one more. Hold on one second. Let me switch it to different one.

[Zach Amico]

Okay, cool.

[Sydney Gantt]

Oh, this is her favorite one. This. This is her showstopper.

[Naim Ali]

Hold on, hold on.

[Zach Amico]

It's all right. Sh. Don't worry.

[Shannon]

Okay.

[Zach Amico]

You're good, baby. Ooh.

[Naim Ali]

Oh, she looks happy.

[Sydney Gantt]

She is so proud of herself.

[Zach Amico]

All right, she is 5, 7. She is smiling.

[Naim Ali]

She's cheesing.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah.

[Naim Ali]

I think this also might be domestic violence.

[Zach Amico]

Murder.

[Sydney Gantt]

Yeah, I was going to say domestic violence murder.

[Naim Ali]

Damn. Look at that happen.

[Zach Amico]

Murder.

[Naim Ali]

She caught somebody cheating on her and she heard him. Women are happy when they hurt you after you cheat on them.

[Zach Amico]

Murder.

[Sydney Gantt]

I'm gonna. This is gonna be way off, but I'm gonna say she. She did something violent to somebody at a protest.

[Naim Ali]

Okay. Okay.

[Zach Amico]

You know what? I don't hate it.

[Naim Ali]

Yeah, I like that.

[Zach Amico]

Naim.

[Naim Ali]

I think this is also domestic violence. Caught her husband cheating, stabbed him.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Sydney Gantt]

She got a Katie Holmes vibe.

[Naim Ali]

She does have a Katie Holmes.

[Zach Amico]

She does. I see that, Shannon.

[Shannon]

Okay, just give me one second because I'm gonna. Actually, this one's from an article. This isn't necessarily from Florida.

[Zach Amico]

No problem. So.

[Shannon]

Okay, now you can share it. So she bashed her boyfriend's head in with a hatchet while he was sleeping.

[Zach Amico]

And is he okay?

[Shannon]

So you know what? It doesn't actually say in here if he died because he wasn't just hitting his head. He wasn't just hitting his head. But it doesn't actually say in the article that he did die.

[Zach Amico]

Okay.

[Shannon]

Because they are charging her with attempted murder. So I guess he's hanging on.

[Naim Ali]

Okay. I knew it. I fucking knew it.

[Shannon]

It also seems like maybe there's some drugs or something. They were both homeless. They were sleeping in a friend's garage, and then she just woke up and started attacking him with a hatchet.

[Naim Ali]

Dang.

[Zach Amico]

Swing, swing, swing. Chop, chop, chop.

[Naim Ali]

All right.

[Zach Amico]
