It is it's March madness. It's that time of the year. So I'm in front of TV's just watching college. That's far, you know. Yeah, don't I asked Dante to do ish during most day. No, these first four days of the tournament, I'm unavailable. Damn shame. It's a damn shame. Man. It's like it's like, where's Dante. Yeah, we can't find him. He's like sitting in the house like a Robin, and I have determined that you are an old man, sixty five years old. Listen, there's certain things man, Sundays during the NFL season college basketball, not the full season, but just the tournament. For really, these first four days of the tournament, I'm not available Super Bowl Sunday. It's a damn shame. It's a damn shame. Man. Yeah, you are definitely between sixty five and seventy two years old. Gotta have priorities, Robin, how are you first? Old? First? Wait? Wait, wait, First of all, this is Saint Patrick's Day weekend. By the time you all hear this, Saint Patrick's Day will be over. But here in Cleveland we celebrated for like three to seven business days. Um so, Robin obviously is our residence Irish representatives. So first of all, happy Saint Patrick's Day weekend, celebrating the holiday of your people. Yeah, yeah, you know what, Uh, I ain't even wearing green today. I'm like, I don't know. I mean, I'm Irish every day, like so, like my last name, it says it all. So you know, I think I'm just more excited about the fooling right, how are you. I'm good. I'm good. You know. I just and sit back and kind of just off in my own little world, minded my business. Yeah, how are you are you? I'm good. So I'll say this real quick before we get to our interview, because I'm sure that there are some prying ears that are listening to this episode, because it just so happened. Now, y'all know that I'm also a journalist, right, and I break news from time to time. We break news from time to time. These things happen, and sometimes sometimes our current mayor of the city of Cleveland isn't too fine of me or the show because of some of the things we happened to break. So it just so happened. I have sources, and a source of mine told me that the mayor's chief of human resources was being fired and they were escorting him out of the building by security, which is really embarrassed, Like you're you're he's not a security risk, right, You're doing that to embarrass him, that's and to send to send a message. That's why you do that kind of stuff with people who aren't a security threat. So I reported it, right, I'm I'm a journalist. I went to school for this stuff. You know what I'm saying, Like I reported it, and um, I was the first one to break that story, by the way, because now it's starting to pop up everywhere on uh. I saw it at Signal Cleveland, I saw it at Fox Say, I'm the first one to break that story. I just want to point that out just for the record, by the way, that that story was broken here. Um so I hear from a few birdies that city Hall is pissed at me. I don't know what you want me to do. I don't know what you want on that note, I'm I'm here on Saint Pastor today. I will have a drinking I'll sit to that. So like I look, I don't know what you want me to do. Like the report, and it was accurate, and it was accurate, and I know my sources. My sources known't lie to me, so I knew the story was accurate when I went to publish with it. So now, of course there's been several people from Mayor Bibbs administration magically following me on Twitter today, by the way, as he's been in office for either two years or nearly two years, you know, there was a wave of people connected to him that started to follow me on Twitter today. We already know that they've looked because we've we've been through this before, when we've broken things, broken stories that they don't like. We already know that by the time this episode comes out, there's going to be there's going to be people who aren't really here to enjoy this fine radio podcast program, that aren't really here to enjoy the fascinating interview that we're about to get to in just a second. They're just here to snoop and find some issue that they can talk about because they're mad that I broke a legitate story and it was true. All I'm saying, don't get mad at me. I had the sources, The sources were accurate. You didn't deny because the other outlets win and asked them. You confirmed it. You confirmed it. I'm saying, don't shoot the messenger. Don't get mad at me, don't get mad at us. I just tell the truth. What's What's what's y'all saying? Dante about the truth. I don't make the truth. I just tell it exactly exactly. I don't make the truth. I just tell it. I just tell it so I know some of y'all are mad um. You know the mayor has a has a I'm not even gonna say I love hate relationship. He has a hate hate relationship with us anyway, even though he's been on the show before. But I'm just saying, don't shoot the messenger. I don't don't make the truth. I just tell it now. With that being said, so miss O'Malley to answer your question, that's how my day has been going today. Wow, that was a very very descriptive. You know, I'm okay, mister Mayor. I know you're listening, Dante. Do you want to say hello to mister Mayor? Not really, I ain't really got nothing to say to him. You're not You're not my Mayor. I don't live in clear ha ha ha. So hello to all of you. Whether you're listening to this show because you enjoy this show, whether you're listening to this show because you are followers and supporters of the brother that we are getting ready to introduce, or if you're just here to be spies, welcome regardless. The downloads all count the same. Now, just liking share, that's right, that's right, that's right. That's all we want you to do. Like sharing, subscribe. That's it, right, that's what the kids say, like share and subscribe. That's what we need you to do. So now, as we move on to other more important, more pressing issues, we have a very special guest on the show today. This brother has always shown us a lot of love. I absolutely appreciated. He is the host of the Blurred's Eye View podcast. We'll get into that in a little bit as well, so he can explain to you what that is, and it talks about a whole host of issues, whole host of topics. A fellow alumni of Ohio Media School like Robin and myself, Chris Ferry, Welcome to the show. How are you doing, sir? What's happening? Man? First off, let me say I like your villain arc because the fact that you can get in the mayors, that's a villain arc to me. I enjoy that. All I knew there was a kindred thing about you with me for it. I'm on forward. I'm like, hey, he's pissing off the mirror. That's if that's not a villain arc, I don't know what it is. I appreciate it, brother, I appreciate it. Man, I swear I'll just be trying to trying to live my life, my business and do my thing. Man. You know, it's very much Lowis Lane. Like you know, Lois Lane pisses off everybody, like, hey, she's just doing her job, you know, but exactly man. So, man, we have so many things to discuss. But first, man, tell everybody about Blurd's eye View. Talk a little bit about what the show is, what you all talk about, and stuff like that. So Blurd's eye View is a podcast and a live stream that discusses a lot of geek topics and entertainment news from a POC point of view. A lot. I get a lot of questions as well, like what's a blurd? So a blurd is a black nerd and p POC is a person of color. So I also showcase a lot of POC creatives that work in the entertainment and geek space. So that's anywhere from comic book writers, graphic novelists, the whole nine, all the way down to nerd core artists. We've had some locals like Crazy at the Gregs been on, you know. We've had Mark Cooper from out of Michigan on, you know, so we talked to a lot of people. Even Stefan has been on the show before, so Stefan Johnson. So you know, we talked to a lot of these people who are in the space of entertainment and geeked them. And I also showcase a lot of these POC creatives who do not get to be seen and need to be seen, which is awesome. Man, It's just a really really dope thing that you're doing. When like, how long have you been doing this? What gave you the idea to want to tackle something like this. I've always been into comics and I can talk about comics till well, we don't have roosters in Cleveland, but you know, you know what I'm saying. So and you know the Pandemic Kit And as you know, we both went to OMS. So at the time I was going to OMS and the Pandemic Kid, you know, I had, you know this thing, I'm like, I want to start the show. So I started the show. I had a cohord on with me and he was my gamer, so you know, I was the comic book and the movie TV nerd and he was my gamer and we just started going through it and then we had a resident cosplayer on and that's how the team started, and it just kind of went forward. And then my co hold, Cod Cohord, he started his podcast and I'm still a panelist on his show. Now he's doing a lot of production stuff. The Cosplayer. She's now doing event planning. I've gotten a whole new team. So, like the entire platform has been growing to the point where people are recognizing and seeing us. We've had I've interviewed people like Phil Lamar or Landell Jones, Ted Lane, you know, even and just to see some of these people who are who've provided us with content and movies and shows and books has been nothing. It's it's been my dream. It's been my dream. You know. They say that the show is like being in a black family barbecue, and I say, well, thank you. That's the vibe I'm going for. You know. I like to describe it as a cross between the Arsenio Hall Show, Saturday Night Live and the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. So you're gonna get a nice little mix of all three. You're gonna get a little crazy little commercial in between somewhere and that I created and we just have fun and we talk about geek stuff that matters to us from our point of view. People like the Blurred Jeopardy. I've been doing Blurred Jeopardy for the last two seasons as the season finale, and people just they've fallen over it. They love it. And then we do fan casts where we just kind of do our favorite fan cast, asked of of a project that might be coming out, and who do we think she could be playing these parts? You know. So the last one I just did was Batman the Braven Bowl. Since James Gunn has announced that he's taken over the DC universe and creating these new projects, Batman Braven Bowls won them. So we did a fan cast that we did a fan cast a couple of seasons ago of a remake of I Was It. I can't even right now, But we do a lot of fan casts, uh, and people just love it. They do. They really respond to a lot of the stuff that we talk about. Um, they tune in, they have a good laugh. We don't do any relationship talk, no political talk, no, no, no, we just have fun. We just have fun and we help people out and help people be seen to talk about the craft that they're into. And people really are appreciative that right right, absolutely. Um, we are talking with Chris Fury from Blurd's eye View podcast. Um. Now, speaking of blurred A lot of people don't aren't familiar with I guess you would say blurred culture. Um, if you will add a very close friend of mine who identifies as a blurd. Um, so I'm kind of familiar a little bit with the culture. Talk a little bit about what blurred culture is for people who don't know. Blurred culture is cartoons, blurred culture is gaming, blurred culture is comics and cosplay. But we put our own spin on it, you know, we we as you know, people of color, we tend to get in something and we put our we put our season in it. There's no other way to put it. Put we put our seasoning in it, and it's just it's a whole different vibe. Um. We we cosplay like normal nerds. We we love talking about anime, cartoons and everything else. But we have our our perspective shown. We show we give flowers where we see flowers need to be given. You know, there's a nice camp of Blurds in this country who who are fantastic cosplayers, who are great writers, who are great nerd core artists. And for those who are wondering what a nerd core artist is, it's a hip hop artist. But in their word play, they're using nerdy wordplay like from dragon ball Z to one Piece to get to Mario to everything, and you know, so it's like it becomes this this thing, and it's just it's a tidal wave. It's a growth, it's a movement, it's it's everything. I've attended Blurred Con last year for the first time after it being around for seven years. But they do things like a swag surf, like just out of nowhere, you know, on the game Amy floor. You know, we we do things that normally you don't see a normal conventions. That's right, likes it really is. It's like going to it is it's like going to a barbecue, like this is the family reunion, and like and you're talking and living and enjoying and just uplifting each other and having a blast. It's like a normal comic book convention. But it's just us, you know, all all all people are invited, all people are included. But understand that a lot of the content we talk about really rides and gears towards the black community, right so it's just we just have a beautiful bond and love for what we do, what we you know, what we signify with. You'd be surprised how many people I've had on the show who, uh, we're bullied, you know, and getting into anime or getting into cartoons or getting into cosplay or anything like that was their outlet. And you know, having that alone feeling for them and allowing to use that outlet to kind of express themselves, they understand these characters more, you know, when you see characters like Spider Man and how he's this big nerd and everything else as he's Peter Parker, but when he puts that mask on, he's cracking jokes, he's pissing the villains off. He's fighting and cracking jokes, and and they don't know which way is like, it's his it's his ID, it's his ID. And that's kind of the thing for blurds. It's like this is their outlet, this is their ID. You can't tell them nothing. Quoting Kanye Good Kanye, the old Kanye. We've had many discussions on this show. Ye yes, sir, So. So it's a beautiful thing, it really is. And I see people I see more and more people. And then we just had nine D Collective on night being Nine B Collective is a concept art studio, first black owned concept art studio that's ran by Field Bouteg, Michael Yuande and the actor Alice Hodge. And you'd be surprised all the content that they work on behind the scenes that people never know that, oh, this black man did this, or this black woman did this, or this woman of color did this project. You never know. You'd never know. And this is my job to put these people on the forefront and say, hey, look, check this out. Now we're being seen. We're being seen in these different genres. Were being seen this past year, not twenty twenty three, but it's starting. But this past year twenty twenty three, partially in twenty twenty two, you're seeing more people of color in these roles that you would have never thought of seeing them in. You know, Rings of Power, which was on Amazon Prime, you're seeing a black queen and the Lord of the Rings Universe. You know, you're seeing U Tinkerbell is now played by a black woman. You know, Peter pan is a kid is a boy? Color U Tinkerbell or not tinger Bell? Uh little Mermaid is it's a woman of color, it's it's it's becoming a whole movement where we're saying we belong, we're here, You're gonna see us. And I think a lot of that really stemmed from seeing shows like Watchmen starting Regina King, you know, and then Lovecraft Country that was directed by Misha Green and seeing those different genres and that television show and saying, hey, we can be the leads in a horror film and live, we can be the leads in an adventure film and come out on top, or a spy film or a love story or you know, and that stuff. Those type of genres showed that. So you know, when you see the conversations being had about I don't want to see another slave movie, rightfully. So, yes, do we need to know the history of things that happen, of course, but we don't need to always be nominated and winning Oscars for the most negative of roles. When you have these black actors, black actresses, people that work behind the scenes, who have contributed so much to entertainment and contributed so much to the nerd culture, and they're not celebrating, they're not seeing no one knows you know right absolutely, and you know that's obviously something people who listen to the show, you know that that's something The stuff that you're talking about is very important to us, obviously, with myself being a black man, Dante being a black man, Robin having by racial children, like it's that's something that's very important to all of us. So we absolutely love that and appreciate it. But well, we're gonna do We're gonna take a break real quick, and then we're gonna come back and we're gonna we're gonna dig into some topics and some more stuff with this here, including the topic that we initially talked about earlier this week when I saw you. We're gonna we're gonna touch on that in a little bit as well. So, uh, stay tuned more with Chris Fiery when we come back here on the Outlaws. These days, it seems like everybody's talking, but no one is actually listening to the things they're saying. Critical thinking isn't dead, but it's definitely low on oxygen.

We're still here with Chris Fury from the Blurd's I View podcast. Dante, you got a question, go ahead, brother. Yeah, So, Chris, I've never thought of myself as like a black nerd, but I do care about like the fantasy shows, right, so, like Star Wars and Game of Thrones and all of those universes. But I never considered myself like I'm not a nerd, right, I never thought of it like that, But I do think it is pretty cool because like I don't know if you watch Hostita Dragon, so I mean the Yeah, it's like why And I never thought like watching any of those shows, like you just automatically assume that they're you know, white characters, right, because that's how the Game of Thrones was predominantly, right like, and so then the Seahouse Valerius, it's like, oh, it's a brother in there with Dred. His whole family got dreads, right, so I look like they look like they look like Billy Ocean yeah right right yeah, and and and so now they're supposed to be really featuring them coming up in the next couple of seasons, and I was just like wow. I mean it didn't dawn on me and that like, oh wow, this community touches us all when until you started mentioning those shows, because I was, you know, I obviously cared about the Lord of the Ring series, um, and then the Game of Thrones show came or the House of the Dragon came, so I was like, man, yeah, yeah, House Valarius. They sure did put an entire black family, which at the time, of course, was the wealthiest family in West Rooms, right, So that's family had the big yeah, williest family had the biggest Navy, the whole nye yea and the best medal that the Valerian steal. So yeah, it's for sure. So so here's the thing, Dante, You're already blurred the minute you mentioned Lord of the Ring Star Wars starter, you were blurred that I had no I didn't. I never looked at myself like that because I was like, I mean, these are just cool shows, right, Like I I mean I got to Game of Thrones late, right because I at first I was like, man, I don't want to see no show with no dragon. And then you watched the first season and like, okay, well I'm not gonna stop. I've been watched the whole thing, getting ready for seasons, like man, this is incredible. And then House of the Dragon comes, I'm like, oh, black Harricter. But it didn't until you mentioned it. It didn't like the it didn't connect in my brain like oh man, there's black people are here because you just you don't assume you'll see it. Yeah, it's it's once you realize. You's like if you mentioned a cartoon or animate to somebody who was a person color and they can respond accordingly, then you're on the same page and that's how a lot of blurds realize they're blurds that, you know, they didn't realize so that there was a such thing as a blurd. Is that did you know that? Or was that new? Oh? Hell no, come on, you know. So I looked at myself as being like, I can watch these shows. I'm interested in these worlds, but at my core, Drvo. You know, it's like I said at the end of the show, it's it's March Madness, right, it's the NFL, it's college football, is college basketball, it's baseball, is boxing? Right? That That's who I am at my court. But I mean, I love these shows too, right, you can't. It could be a Sunday during the summer when I'm not doing anything and I'll just randomly see like, oh, it's a Star Wars marathon, which always seems to come on T and T Sunday afternoon. It's like, all right, we were right here at you know, in the middle of Revenge of the Sith. It's like, yeah, I got an hour, I'm gonna go ahead and watch it. But I never would have considered myself like a nerve because of that. It's just like everybody likes Star Wars. What's what's amazing is that a lot of a lot of people who don't realize that it's the stigma. It was the stigma. It's the stigma. Oh you watch this stuff all you would you weak? You saw trust trust me? Uh well, you know what it what it is, Chris like, and I hate to say, I don't know any other way to say this, but it's like black people are cool. So even when you're a blurd, we're still cool. Like like you know you, I wish you would you know that that's a little bit like you like that. Yeah, I wish you would come over here and try to when I found out like when you okay, take it back, when you think about Wu Tang clan, every last one of the members are big Marvel comics fans. Yeah. Literally, Sam Jack is a fan of comics. Right well, you know that's what that was part of our conversation, Chris one. I think I think it was on Monday. I grew I never viewed myself like said, I never viewed myself as a blurd either. Um, but I grew up. I was a big comic book fan as a kid, right like I was. I mean like buying them and collecting them and all that kind of stuff. Like I was, I was a big Superman guy. So I was like, well, I guess I guess that makes me blurdsh you know what I'm saying. No, it's like once you dip your toe in the water, you in you know, it's you're there, and it does and it's like you said, we're cool. We It was always that stigma through media, through mainstream media that nerds in its in general were just weak or soft, couldn't fight, couldn't get the girl, couldn't do. But blurds, even nerds aren't like that. But blurds, you, like you said, we just bring a certain something to the game that just you can't match. Here's a cosplayer Afro Coco Puffs who and she's she's a cosplayer and a rapper and she cosplayed as a character from Naruto and the character's name was Hanada. And someone told her at a convention that Hanada is not black. She would and made a whole song about it. Whole this song. It was the biggest thing last year. It was like she and people pushing It's like it's all on Spotify and everything, so shout out to Africaoco Bucks. But that was one of those things where you go to these conventions and people say, oh, that person is in that color, they shouldn't cosplay it, and you know, so it became this this this thing where we're like, who's to say we can't cosplay? Who's to say we can't dress up as this character or make this character or do whatever, as long as you're being respectful, you know, we don't. I've seen I've seen a guy, a white dude dressed as Luke Cage and I knew he was Louke Cage. He had a whole yellow silk shirt on tr with the chain around, with the blue jeans, and he was respectful for to it. He didn't do no black face, Thank you God. I'm like, hey man, I don't know how many times we've talked about this on this show, Chris. That's what I don't mind. If you dressed like black characters of black people playing certain characters, just don't do the face. Just don't do the face. It's necessary. If you nail the aesthetics, you're fine, right, No, So, like you don't see us doing doing that stuff. You know, you don't see us going around dressing as Captain America and then putting white face on. We don't have to. But then again, there still is a black Captain America. There's two of them now as a matter of fact. So we don't, we don't allow it. We bight back, we fight back, we don't. We stand against that. So you know, we have a certain level of how do I put it, labor right? You know that we bring to anything that we touch in this nerd culture. Is this this this big thing? You know because a lot of people when you talk to him, when you talk to people in the blurred circle, you can literally say, hey, remember Ronan Warriors, Remember Power Rangers. Remember the longest week of your life when Tommy the Green Ranger showed up. That was the most stressful week of everybody's life. You know, hey, man, I was a huge Power Rangers fan man as a kid, man like to the point where like I wanted to I beg my mother to have me to get me the costume to be the I was black as a kid. My mother made it because we couldn't afford the actual Like, yeah, man, I was I was a huge and yeah, you're right, like the when Tommy showed up that was a stressful week for every kid. Man Like my man came in, took over in the town. And there's not every day when somebody can get into your vehicle and Paul five y'all behinds, jump out and consistently whoop y'all by. It was stressful. It was a stressful, like, how are they gonna beat this dude? Like came into the Red Rangers girl their tank then came in and took the Red Ranger sword. It's just it's unheard off, you know. So I've never seen anything since then, like, well, I take it back Falcony Winter Soldier seeing US agent get his behind by the Dormalaja. That was actually quite enjoyable because we knew it was like you don't touch the Dormalaja you and he just put his hand on his shoulder and I'm like, well that's coming, uh, But it is. It's it's a thing for us, and we love it and we talk about it, and we can go on and on and on and on, and so when we see certain things and we stand up against it, because like I said, there's a there's several blur other blurs who have said they've been bullied, you know, I'm not. I'm fortunate enough not to be one of them. You know. I just happen to love what I love. But you never know that fit that you're in because you're just like, yeah, I like talking about I like seeing this stuff. I like watching this stuff as a kid. And then but you don't see anybody else talk about it, you know, so you just so it makes you feel outcast, you know, and being a person of color, you're already feeling outcast, so now here's just one more level. But then when you find you, when you find that tribe and you realize, yo, I fit in. I'm okay, there's nothing wrong with me because there are others that look like me that are into the same thing. Dungeons and dragons, playing video games, you know, getting into comics, you know, talking about this stuff. I mean, growing up, I've been a black parent for fans since I was twelve. I found out about him when I was eleven. Wow, it didn't know it. Yeah, so so after prior to that, it was Batman and Superman, Batman and Superman, Spider Man. When when for me to find out there was a black man who was a king who had more money than Bruce Wayne and was out here whooping behind sign me up right right, had a contingency plan for everything, you know. So yeah, it was it was a different Even my friends was like, oh, that ain't real. It's real real. We're talking with Chris Fiery from Blurd's eye View from the from Blurd's eye View podcast and the switch gears a little bit. Uh, let's let's dig into the topic that we uh that we talked about on Monday, um queens right, that everybody was was tripping about, like how does Jela Bassett lose that award? So disclaimer because I did this, I did this show Tuesday. It was a special episode because we're on a break. We'd come back on the twenty eight. But I did a disclaimer. I said, look, we do not hate Jamie Lee Curtis. We actually congratulate. She's fine, she's she's actually an ally yeah, and she's an incredible actress. And exactly exactly, it was just how did she get that over the Queen when she was only in that movie maybe seventeen eighteen minutes at tops. And it wasn't even it wasn't And that's total, that's total, and it's not even pivotal scenes, you know, real quick, Chris, tell people the movie that Jamie Lee Curtis was in, What what was that movie? And tell people what the movie that Angela Baskett wasn't. So the movie that in question that Jamie Lee Curtis was in was Everything Everywhere All It want, great film, fantastic film in the movie that Angela Bassett was here rephrase, the movie that Queen Angela Bassett was in was Black Panther, What kinda Forever? So really, Jamie Lee Curtis's role in Everything Everywhere, All at Once was not that much of a pivotal role. She was like a social worker and it's dealing with multiverse and everything. However, there's another actress in that movie, Stephanie Shoe, who plays Michelle Yoe's daughter, who's a main catalyst of the film. Now, had Angela been up against that actress and that actress one, we would have backed off. We would have been okay, we would have been fine. You know. But if you watched Black Panther, What kinda Forever? Every scene is first off, every scene in every movie that Angela's been in, they're a great scene. She's an actress, like she acts her tail off, And I've often said this past week, I said, Jamie Lee Curtis's role and everything everywhere, all at once is the equivalent of Angela Bassar's role in Boys in the Hood. She's not in it that long. She's not really a factor to the film. She's not even a catalyst to the film. So when people see it that way, I'm like, exactly, it's not we don't have anything against the actress. It was like, how do you how do you do that? How do you keep passing over this woman who has consistently given everything? And if you've seen that movie will kind of forever Every scene knocked it out the part, but the throne room scene where she's talking to a Koyer, it was powerful on so many levels that it hits you. It cuts you to the core because she's coming from a place of pain and her frustration, and not just because of the script, but because Chadwick Boseman is not there and you're and she channels that. And when she says the line I have lost everything, what more do you want from me? Now has a totally new meaning. That's when it comes to the Oscars. Everything this woman has given and acted in. She should have had it for team to turn her Jesus right, you know, and to have someone overlooked like that, it's and you had her in the front row. It's almost a slap, it is. It's a slap in the face. So when you had it, and they expected and they expected her to be happy, right and for people who don't know, now you know this christ and because we we were training this stuff. Yeah, the director told them to do that exactly exactly. I want I want that reaction exactly. That didn't just happen. There is someone behind the scenes, the technical director, who is telling who's in the control room and telling the people who are manning the boards to go to different camera shots because they have a bunch of like you like a bunch of TVs sitting on the wall, and there's a couple of boards there, and you have the director there who's saying camera two, take two, camera one, take one, all that kind of stuff. So the fact that they panned to her after she left, they did that on purpose. Someone told that the director told them to go told the control room to go to that camera angle that was specifically faced at Angela Bassett in order to show that reaction exactly, and then that creates a whole other conversation because people were saying, oh, she should have been clapping and happy. No, you can't tell a black woman what to be. That can't do that. She has every right. Her husband, Courtney B. Vans, luckiest man in the world, has his even his look was slack, like, are you kidding? Right? Yeah? Hey, what like we you got us? Basically you brought us here for this, you know, And I've joked. I've joked because Denzel Washington and Spike Lee were at a next game that same night, and I said, maybe they should have been at the next game with didn't say, Spike Lee, I could have stayed home for this. You know, I'm going to see the Knicks right right. And you know that's why when and I've said it, I said, this is why when King and kill Monger came out, you know, Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors when they came out and Michael B says Auntie, and Jonathan Major's responds, what we love you, and then he hits it with the uh huh. Black people know that that that that cold We know what that colde was. We were just like all the queen has to say to say the word, and we will burn this joint down. We will just say the word. You're the queen, we will, we will make sure you. It would be like death con fire. We're shutting it down. We're shutting it down. It was the universal nod, you know. So you know that was the downside of that whole night. You know, a lot of us knew we had a feeling because there's so much that goes on with the oscars, uh, concerning people of color. And then even Roy Woods Junior even put out a video stay and I played it during the show. It states that the people who vote for these movies, a percentage of them are even working in entertainment anymore, haven't in years. Another percentage haven't even seen the movies that's being nominated. The other people they just it's a popularity contest. So it's not even based off of the viewer, which is why it's very very difficult with the viewer like, yeah, yeah, they don't, which is why we have the People's Choice Awards, the NAACP Awards, the SAG Award, you know, Beet Honors, the Essence Awards. So we weren't surprised. We were upset, but not surprised, if that makes sense. So when it happened, we were more like we knew it because you won't, you know, people try to change the narrative, Oh you won't, you won't recognize the Superhero film. It's it's it's not even that we could care less about that recognize game where you see it. This woman has consistently given top notch performances and everything. She is the highest paid black actress on network television. Considering take into the fact that even when she was on America Horror Story, they still want the roles that she's played during Covin, which was deceiving the season, and she played New Orleans with New Orleans Voodoo which vood Voodoo priests. They still want that solo story, solo season for that character because she brings something to the table. And I've said it on my show, Me and my co host, we've all said it. She's the type of woman who walks into the room and you straighten up tight, you tighten up, your your speech changes, or but now everything about you changes. You know, you remember how clear Huxall was on The Cosby Show when she when she cut when she cut neat you you put the man look? Yeah, right, it was, And it was one of those vibes like she's that type of woman who when she walks into a room, she really does bring a regal airness in the room. She speaks with it, she speaks with grace, she walks with grace. Ain't seen a bad hair day on her yet. I'm I'm like, I don't think you can make her look bad. It was just like, yeah, we're gonna put a war here in the mole here. I'm like, I don't think she's still gorgeous. I mean she's made. She's made sixty four the new thirty right right, Yeah, it is incredible. So that was a lot of a lot of us were shocked, Yeah at that um and I mean not necessarily like like you said, I think a lot of people kind of expected it, but it was still just the shock at the audacity of it, you know what I mean. And so I think there was a lot of people who felt who felt like that we're talking. We're talking with Chris Fiery, host of Blurd's eye View podcasts, M and Real Quick. Go ahead say what she was about to say, and U I know, Robert, that's a question for you, but go ahead. The rest of what happened that night went just fine. We wanted Brendan Fraser to win. We want to keep Kwan to win. We wanted Michelle Yo to win. Those movies deserved those wins. They earned that. But the fact that it's taking that Halle Berry was the first black actress to win an award for the role she played, which Angela Bassett actually turned down, and which was Monster's Ball. She turned that role down for that because of that scene. Because of that, and then Michelle Yo is the first Asian actor to win this award ward. This is a ninety five year old tradition that is severely dated, severely outplayed. The game has to change. That's just what it is. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's I mean, this is what they do. This is what the oscars do. This is this is what they do. And I think not only it's not only even just a race thing. I think it's a culture thing also because like you mentioned earlier, you know movies, they hate almost every movie that's popular. Yes, so they have a total disconnect with what the viewers, what the customers like with the customers watching I really don't think they give it down like it. I was surprised that I was surprised that Avatar missed out on them. It was I can't remember which one it was announced for. I was surprised it didn't get it. I was shocked. I was like, oh, you didn't give it to James Cameron. Oh that's new, right, Robin, go right ahead, all right. So my question is what advice would you give to the kids that are interested in this particular space. Go for it. Don't let anybody tell you know. It's not going to be perfect the first time you come out. Trust me, When I first started out, I had no facial hair. My co host City looked like a thumb. I was like, I forgot I didn't have any facial hair, But yeah, I didn't. I have five dollar headphones. I had a cheap microphone. It gets better. I had a cheap equipment. It's not gonna be perfect coming out. All that needs to be done is whatever it is you're gonna talk about, be passionate about it, don't be fake about it. If you love talking about football, basketball, gaming, talk about it. If you love comics, movies, television, talk about it. If you love cosplay, talk about it. If you love talking about makeup, talk about it. Don't be too many times I see people on podcasts or live stream and they do it for shock value, and it becomes it becomes it's an old narrative. It's like, you know, Howard Stern did it. It was fresh then you know, and you're like, oh, I want to be the next Howard Stern or the next Joe Rogan or is that what you like talking about? No? Really, but that's what get the numbers. Don't worry about it. I've seen a video with Bernie Mack where he was talking of when people were saying he was quoting people saying, it's about get the money, get the money. No, if you do what you love, the money will come. If you're good at what you do, the money will come. Right, don't look at the money, look at what you look at your craft, look at what you like to do, look at what you like to talk about, look at what you're passionate about, and do it. You know, because there is a niche for somebody out there who's listening, who's saying, hey, they're just like me, I'm gonna start listening to this or I'm gonna start watching this because they're talking about topics that I care about, So go for it. Absolutely, absolutely, man, it has been a pleasure, brother. Let everybody know how to follow you on social media, where to go to to get the show and all of that good stuff. Sir.

We have Tea Time with Row coming up next here on the Outlaws. This is the Outlaws Radio Show. Welcome back, Welcome back. You're listening to the Outlaws. We want to send a special shout out to Chris Fury for coming on the show. Really appreciated. Make sure you guys go subscribe to his show blurds View and show him some love. All right, miss O'Malley, Now was the time of the show that we you like to call Tea Time with Row. Turn it up the latest celebrity news and gossip. It's Tea Time with Row on the Outlaws Radio Show. All right, y'all. So now that the guys have gotten me all riled up, because like listen, I could give y'all to tea, but I'm not. I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you some different tea. Okay, no, no, so actually the tea today is actually about Sierra's dress that she wore at the Oscars party. Um. So, Sierra's dress was like literally all see through. You know a lot of what a lot of the girls that what they wear these days, Um, basically nothing. So but you know a lot of the comments and people was coming at her neck basically saying like, you're a married woman. Now you're always speaking on like Christianity and you're you're a married woman, you're a mom, you shouldn't dress like that. But you know, at the same point, it's like one, I'm gonna say this, people tell you when you get into a relationship to not change who you are, like just you know, they'll say that, but then they come at her neck. Then the other thing is they were coming at Russell's neck basically saying like, you know, get your wife, you need to control your wife, get your wife on a leash, et cetera, et cetera. Things like that, Like I don't know, I mean, I personally wouldn't wear it. That's just me as who I am as a person. But I don't know, I feel like they're wrong for coming at her like that. Like, I don't know, because if you really think about it, like there's so many other artists like Cardi B, for example, like she wears things like that, but they don't come for her. I guess, I don't know. It's weird, but I guess maybe because they expect it from Cardi B. And it was people were kind of surprised about Sierra. I guess for me. Um, I don't know. Man, I would always think about like if I was in her position, Um, what are my kids friends going to say about this when he's when he or she is in like middle school? Am I wearing something or doing something that's gonna get my kid teased in school? Like? I think that's the I think that's the barometer, right, Like that's that's a good that's a good barometer. Like, Yo, is this gonna? Is this gonna make my kid's life more difficult when they get like I don't know what eight eleven twelve around that area? Um, other than that, man, I don't know. I mean I think you know, coming at Russell H. Wilson are like, well, for what right, Like what what is he supposed to do? I mean she chose to wear that? Does? I mean you know what I mean. So, um, I don't know, man, I don't know. I wouldn't recommend I would. I wouldn't be crazy about any woman that I'm with wearing wearing that. And it's it's one thing like okay, if you're wearing something that's a little revealing or whatever, like you know, we don't live in the nineteen twenties, Like that's okay. But she was basically wearing a whole lot of nothing like that was that was dental floss she had on. Well but let me, I'm gonna in real quick because the thing is is like, yes, but I viewed it, you know, I paid attention to what she had on. She wasn't. Yes, she was like basically had nothing on, Like she had on what literally whatever fingal wore. But she had nipple covers on. She had some thongs on to go up underneath it, and literally that is what a lot of people. Yeah. Yeah, she had draws on. Yeah, she also had covers on, like just not like you can see like the whole thing, you know what I mean. Like, so, but that's what a lot of these artists wear. I mean again, like I said, I personally wouldn't wear that because that's not really my thing. But again, like what you were saying is like what they were saying about her, But you're also saying, Okay, what would the kids say or how would they get bullied? Et cetera, et cetera. But again, we're gonna go back to Nicki Minaj. We're gonna go back to all these other artists that dressed like this, whom are also married. Also. Well, I think it's a little different for for no, no, no, no, no, no, hold on, you're not listen, you're not letting me finish. I was saying that it's a little different for this show because we've been pretty consistent no matter who does it right, Like, you know, this topic has come up before, and my point of view really hasn't changed, you know what I mean. I remember when we had this conversation about Lizzo, when Lizzo went to to the Lakers where to the Lakers game with all them kids around, she had a bare ass out right like we had we had this kind we had the same conversation or very similar conversation. So to me, I can't I can't speak for how anybody else feels, but for me, I've been pretty consistent, you know what I mean, regardless of who does it saying yeah, now, don't I don't. I don't feel that. I think that's a big much Dante. Let's get you in here, man, what's your thoughts. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of that. I personally wouldn't want like my wife dressing like that, but I wouldn't be like I'm not. I think you know a lot of people are upset with Sierra and Russell, and my thing is like, you know, Russell picked her Man Russell, I mean, he knew what he was getting himself into. You know what I'm saying, like, hey, yeah, it was like he probably wasn't trip, you know, so Russell wasn't tripping. So I personally, I'm like, well, you know, her husband don't care. Why would I you know, Yeah, I think it's I think tom in place kind of matters. Well, you've seen women wear these this type of stuff to event shows and stuff, So I figured she probably got paid a lot of money by some designer to wear that dress and you know, decided like why not? Or I feel like russ probably picked it out and was like this would look great on you. I really believe it's one of those two things. So it's like, if Russell not tripping about his own wife, we shouldn't either. I just know for me, that's not something I wouldn't want a woman that I'm involved with walking out the house like that. Absolutely. And then again you also have to remember that, you know, Sierra ain't showing nothing that we ain't already seen, so he probably doesn't care. Yeah, that's a good point, because you know, that's a good point. Everybody's been seeing Sierra's behind already multiple times in her career. So I mean, whether she come out the house winter coat or butt naked, I mean, we're done already. You know, she's not the most modest woman, you know, she ain't. No, ain't nothing about Sierra in the past been modest. I mean you you know you dated future. Come on, man, we we know how you get that. So nobody you know rust and Rust is cool with that. So and here's here's the like he eat, don't make us, don't make us, you know. So, But here here's the thing though, right, like even just like that that little exchange earlier, uh in the segment rights as Robin got so animated, right, it's like we can't win, right, because like when when we when we criticize Lizzo for doing it, it was like, oh, yeah, just don't like it because of the way she looked, right, And then we turned around it's like, no, it's no, we just don't think it's a good idea. Has nothing to do with how she looks. We just don't think it's a good idea to go to a basketball game with children around with your bare ass out right right time and place matters for show. She wasn't at the Lizzo wasn't at the club when it's all when it's all adults. She wasn't even at an awards show. Like see, it's literally no kids. She's I mean, she's at a bass she was in front of children, right right, you know what I'm saying. But you get criticized with saying that. And now here's Sierra, who's a beautiful woman by all standards, right, gorgeous woman by all standards, And we're still like and I don't know if I'm I don't know if i'd want my wife to dress like that. I know I wouldn't, right, you know what I mean. And it's still like we can't win Robin, we're being consistent and man, no, no, because I wasn't getting see, I wasn't getting upset about them. My thing is is just I am saying. I'm not saying for a man to not want his woman, his wife, whatever it may be, to not be like, No, bab, I don't want you to wear that like I don't feel comfortable. I can respect that, but I'm saying, like, you can't just pick one celebrity and then bypass another one just because they from the hood, you know what I mean, just because they've known as being ghetto. That's not cool if you all come for one, like, come on now, as we grow up in mention, go, ok, what do we learn back in school age if one gets in trouble or gets it? I mean, but Cardi b is a stripper, definitely nothing. Yeah, dude, that's her profession. Literally just said that Sierra has been she's stripping in front of kids. But Siara has been known to not wear very much clothes, right. No, I was saying that in a sense to say she ain't showing nothing to us as adults. We ain't already seen, but you think see that in videos and stuff on YouTube, they may, but that's not who she. That's not who's there, where she's at is she? I mean she it's not like she came to It's not like she was actively in front of children. She went on to an adult to an adult event, like that's I mean, that's her pictures where there's like that's okay, but it's pick pickture is gonna be everywhere, like children are gonna be able to look at pornography. That's not that doesn't mean that's who was made for. Like they're there. The internet is for everybody, Like it's gonna be there, but she's not act. That's the problem is men pick and choose what woman is allowed to and not allowed to be a particular way or to dress a particular way. Like for example, if I was to be somebody's wife, I would get a big updoor because I don't give off that persign. I don't give that off. So people are gonna come at my neck. But if it's somebody that they're used to it, they're gonna be like, oh, well, you know it's not like that point well, the point that once again, once again we can't speak for nobody else, right, Dante and I have been pretty consistent on this. That's that's not our cup of tea, right, We've been pretty consistent on this. But the point Dante is making is that context does matter. Right now, My argument is a little different because I do feel like she's putting her her possibly putting her children in a position where eventually, but Dante makes makes a very good point her her neked ass has been out there already anyway, so her kid's gonna to deal with one way or another. So but at the same time, it is different when Lizzo goes to a basketball game with families there with both but cheeks out, you know what I mean. In one of the videos that we saw where her literally bent over with her behind out, was in front of like two young children because they was in a row behind her. They probably couldn't see the game because of her. She no, that's in a program brass like again. And we said, and I said this at the time, y'all know, I love Rhona, right, I love Rihanna. Had she did the exact same thing, I would feel some type of way. But she did. I mean before she had kids, but she did. There is a picture there is at one point Rihanna had like she looked really beautiful, glowing, but coming up on this show, so we didn't. It didn't come up on this show, Mad, it came up on this show right now. The ball games I've seen Rihanna, she you know, she dressed like a normal woman, like because she used to go to a lot of cash games because she was a big look she's a big Lebron fan. So when we were in the playoffs, she used to go to a lot of cash games. She wasn't half naked. M Yeah, Lizzo was like Nash. She came to the cast. She was at game one of the two twenty eighteen finals, the game that Lebron half fifty plus when j R. Smith forgot that what the score was. Rihanna was at that game. She was naked. So basically, what you're saying, Dante, is that that it's okay to dress like that, just not where children are, which I'm saying, I'm saying context matters. So you wouldn't go Rhann Lizzo if she had a child, she wouldn't show I don't I would hope she wouldn't show up to her second great child's school like that. Why would you go somewhere where you know it's gonna be a little kid like. Context matters. If you want to do that and go to the club, that's fine, Cardi B. She used to be a stripper like you. You're a music videos like this is that's that's what you do. That's that's your job. Fine, you do that again. I wouldn't want that from my wife, but like I wouldn't telling I wouldn't tell an only fans model you need to put some clothes on while you have work, because your work involves you're taking your clothes off. I don't think that you should, but I don't think that you should do your job sort of speak in front of children. Nor Context and time and place matter. Yeah, context matters, Like it's not. The standard is consistent, but situations change. Its situations, dude do matter. So it's not we're not being I can't speak for any other man. I know that the two men on this show are not being inconsistent based on who the like. We're pretty clear that Dante wouldn't want his wife wearing stuff like that. I wouldn't want my wife wearing stuff like that, right, We're we're pretty clear about that. I mean it's we're kind of conservative on stuff like that, correct, Dante, Yes, right, we're pretty clear. I respect that. I respect that, and like I'm not arguing about for a woman to dress like that because, like I said, both, y'all know that's like that's not me, you know what I mean, Like I don't do stuff like that. You're classicy, you classy, like you know what I mean. And what's the old saying lady in the streets you know, you know, you know, but like I'm not, I'm not saying like it's okay. So I wasn't like trying to debate with y'all based upon that. I was just trying to make it, make make it clear, because it's like I was trying to make sure sure that y'all weren't saying, Okay, well she can't do it, but they can, you know. And but if it was us, yeah, if it was up to us, like we don't prefer it in general. But basically I was just basically so y'all basically saying though, like just don't do it where there are families, uh and children, but you prefer not period. Yeah, yeah, we preferred Dante. You wouldn't want you to have to wear with SERI or war. Would you know right? I wouldn't want any woman I was married to to wear that either, you know what I'm saying. But like the con but the context does matter, and that's that's the point, Dante. I just think that, uh Robin, just all right? So y'all listen, fellas, y'all are not allowed to wear gray sweatpants where ever hell you want because they basically on that note, we are going to go to break now and stay crude for Dante's hot takes coming up next here on the Outlaws Welcome Back, Welcome Back and listening to the Outlaws, and now it's the time to show that we like to call Dante's hot techs telling the truth. What did you like it or not? It's Dante's hot Takes on the Laws radio show. So people are not gonna like this topic, and that's okay, um, because this is a topic that we actually really need to talk about because I just want to highlight hypocrisy in how we celebrate American culture. Today is Saint Patrick's Day, and everybody loves to put on green and to you know, go out drinking. Nobody actually cares that this is supposed to. This holiday is supposed to be about like a saint probably wouldn't approve of you going on drink, but anyway, everybody likes to. Yeah, everybody likes to pretend to be Irish and celebrate the Irish. Right. It's it's really become basically a day of drinking in Irish culture, right, and nobody's upset about it. Nobody says, well, what about the Chinese. Nobody says, well, what about you know, black people, what about you know Arabic people? Know today is it's an Irish day, and everybody's okay with that, right? So how come when the United States made a holiday and decided to celebrate June team, essentially, which celebrates the day that the Union Army came to Texas to let free peopple know that they have that they are no longer slaves. How can people push back against that? What? What's the problem? What's the what's the problem with that? Why is it? Why is it okay that we can we can celebrate Sinko Demayo. Right, we celebrate Sinko Demyo here in the States, and that's a Mexican holiday. We celebrate, you know, Saint Patrick's Day. I was coming out of the barbershop and I saw a black lady dressed in green from head to toad going into a bar. I wonder if she felt like, WHOA, I don't want to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day because what about black people? Or what about English people? Why are we celebrating specifically to Irish? Why is this so non inclusive? So nobody has that mentality about Saint Patrick's Day. Nobody has that mentality about about Sinko, demyo. But when people say, let's celebrate Juneteenth and everybody cook out and we can make it like a whoa, we don't need another Independence Day. We don't need this for what could possibly be the reason why you have an issue with June teenth but not Saint Patrick's Day or not single demyo. It's gotta be because it's a black holiday. It just has to be. It's not, and and so many times you'll see, well, no, I just don't like the way it's presented. So what who cares about how it's presented? Do you have a problem with the holiday or not? And if you don't, then shut up about it, celebrate it right the same way you put on a green hat and go to a bar and celebrate Saint Patrick's get your grill out and celebrate June teent. How come you can't just do that? What is what could possibly be the issue? I saw this up and down the timeline to day, and it just made me think, like, man, everybody loves Saint Patrick's Day. When single Demyo comes around, everybody's gonna have a great day about you know if we whatever else, I mean, we Mexican independ This day in September is a big boxing weekend. Is usually filled with some type of big time boxing event. Used to be like a time with Floyd may Whether used to fight. Everybody used to love it. Black people, white people, boxing fans, everybody has a huge fight week here. So why are your Juneteenth shunned? It just really, it really really makes me think that it's gotta It just has to be the fact that it's a black holiday, right, Oh it it's two woke whatever that means, right. I just don't understand why we can't celebrate everything like we celebrate some things. And I'm glad you brought that up now, just to peel the curtain back a little bit for those of you who don't know, and I mean most of you don't. Sometimes I know what the topic is going to be before he does it, and sometimes I don't. This is one of the topics that I didn't know he was gonna do before he did it, and I'm I'm glad he did it because I actually talked about this on Twitter and I think, uh an exchange that I had is a can can move us forward, move us along, so to speak. So U the tweet that I wrote was Saint Patrick's Day is a big deal here in Cleveland, and it is like Saint Patrick's Day is like Marty gral Is in Cleveland, like it's our Marty Growl, right, And I said, and that's great. There's nothing wrong with everyone celebrating Saint Patrick's Day, just like there'd be nothing wrong with everyone celebrating Juneteenth. The problem is some of you don't keep the same energy for both. Right Now, there was one I thought really sincere response that I received, and this person said, and it was from a white person, and they said, honestly would love to celebrate Juneteenth with the same GUSTO, just don't want to offend right and asks me for permission. Now granted, I'm not the guy. I can't. I can't give you permission on behalf of all black people in America. However, one hundred and fifty dollars you could. That's I start telling people, give me, give me fifty bucks, I'll baptize you, and you're good to go. Right, start charting, right. But what I did say was I said, yes, please, don't allow the loud, stupid people on social media deter you from that. Right now, I've seen you've probably seen this to Dante. I've seen some black folks complain about black people celebrating Saint Patrick's Day, right, Oh yeah, I have while y'all while y'all celebrating Saint Patch Day, while y'all in the green and all that. You know, I've seen. I have seen the small group of militant black folk upset that people celebrate the fourth of July. But you know, again, I don't yes another time, another place. Right. So I've seen that, and I've seen this thing about the Saint Patrick's Day, and of course, and I point it out, and of course we've seen wife folks complain about June. Team. Now, my response was, I think everyone should stop bitching and celebrate everything with each other. That's what I think, right, I think that there is nothing wrong. I don't I don't have any problem with any people celebrating Saint Patrick's Day, right, just like I have any problem with anyone visiting a little Italy or a China town or an Asia town. Right. I don't have any problem with people honoring their heritage and other people participating in that. I don't have any problem with that. But you can do the same thing for us, And I think for too many people. There are some people like this person, like this very sincere person who tweeted in who is because we live in this an era? You know they're afraid? Well, oh, I don't know. Is that you know, is somebody gonna call me a cultural appropriator for celebrating June Team. They might, but just ignore them because they're stupid, right, Like, if you as long as you're not one one in black face and like putting on dashiki's or something like, as long as you're not doing anything stupid, if you want to participate they celebrate June Team, you should celebrate, right, Um, So you can't allow that to h to make you afraid. But I also think that there are some people who Unfortunately, there are some white folks who view black people as a competitor instead of a brother or a sister, you know what I mean. So it's like everything is a counter. Well, why do you have to have this? Come? We can't have that? Well if we you know what I mean, it's like the whole like remember the whole? Well, why do you have bet? There's no w et? W et is the rest of the channels on tell? So hey, there are some people who who view us as as competition instead of being part of the same melting pot that everybody talks about, right, And I think that's part of the problem. Another thing, one person said to me, well, we don't know what we're supposed to do on June tea. We don't know how to celebrate. Everybody knows what to do on St. Patri's Day. I said, okay, okay, that's fair. Now. One person called themselves being funny, they made a joke, right, and said, sounds good this year I'm doing a Juneteenth pub crawl, right, And my response was, that's actually an excellent idea. Go love bomb black owned establishments on June teenth. You want something? Do you want something to do? You want to know how you can participate. Go to your local black owned watering hole, go to your local black owned restaurant, go to your local black owned clothing store or what have you, and go love bomb those establishments. That's one thing, but it's it's all about. And then the person responded and was like, well, I was joking, but that actually is a good idea. I'm like, yeah, it is, like, so stop viewing us from the standpoint of of an opponent and view us the same way you view everybody else. If you want to participate, it doesn't June teenth doesn't have to be a threat to you. Nobody's telling you you can't go to the Juneteenth parties or the June teent picnics. And if they're telling you that, or the June team cookouts, or try not to use the word picnic, look it up if they're telling you. If they're telling you that you can't participate, don't listen to them because they're stupid. The average black person doesn't feel like the average black person wants you to participate, So maybe you want to try that. Dante, give you the last one and let them know how to follow yourself. It was so like you said, you didn't know it was either going to be this or it was going to be the topic of black owned But we'll celebrate, well, we'll celebrate Saint Patrick's Day with the rest of America and talk about this topic and then we'll talk about that one next week. Because that raised some issues as well, because there is a quote black community being built and people pretended to be stupid about it. So I said, oh, that was gonna be the topic, and then I saw this stuff. So yeah, yeah, you guys, I'll did yourself. Now you get it. But every time they do, it gives us stuff to talk about. So I'm appreciative of people continually being stupid. Follow me on social media at tape Brian Tae v r y E on Instagram and Twitter.
