Table 4 Three

Episode 11: Happy Thanksgiving...Mistakes were made

Mister, Nini, Shawn A. Season 2 Episode 11

Holiday prep should be simple—who’s cooking, who’s eating, and who’s bringing the meatballs. Instead, our week detours into the wild, the urgent, and the oddly hilarious: a viral assault on a mom and her nine-year-old, a Florida gas-station “rescue” that reads like a custody ambush, and a newsroom apology that says everything about performative remorse and nothing about repair. We share the laughs, but we don’t duck the hard stuff.

We open with short workweeks and Thanksgiving energy, then zoom into safety and instincts: why you lock doors at the pump, how to narrate safety to kids, and what to do when your gut starts yelling before your brain does. From there, we talk parenting under pressure—where accountability meets love. One of us lays out a line for his own kids: responsibility isn’t optional, and consequences teach what speeches can’t. We unpack peer pressure, the absence of leadership in teen groups, and how quickly “just following” becomes real harm.

Then we turn to the media moment everyone’s seen: a white anchor comparing her Black colleague to an ape, followed by the driest crocodile tears on local TV. We strip the apology down to parts—who it centers, what it avoids, and how companies dodge accountability with soft language and softer consequences. It’s not about piling on; it’s about standards, repair, and how workplaces can do better when the harm is public and plain.

To reset the mood, we go full fan mode with an R&B fantasy “Verzuz.” Michael Jackson vs Prince, Mariah vs Beyoncé, Usher vs Chris Brown—catalogs, features, and era dominance all get their moment. It’s a master class in how hits travel, how features stack wins, and why nostalgia still runs the room. We wrap with quick gems, Thanksgiving humor, and NFL picks you’ll argue with all week.

If you’re here for smart conversation that moves between culture, safety, music, and messy real life without losing the laugh, pull up a chair. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves a good debate, and drop your dream Verzuz lineup in the comments—we’re reading them.

SPEAKER_15:

I was just speaking to somebody earlier today and they was like, You be getting food from Waz Garden. Yeah. I was like, it tastes fine. Not all places. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

You can't just go to any Chinese place. Nah. You really can't.

SPEAKER_15:

I don't I think there was one recommended to me, but I haven't been there yet. But the only good spot I remember was a place downtown in like the pavilion. It used to have a really good Chinese spot right there.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh really? You know, if you think back to all the Chinese spots that we thought were banging as kids, them shits is trash, and then you realize how filthy the fucking place is. Yeah. It's disgusting. Cause remember it's Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

What? They got jumped.

SPEAKER_15:

Wait, what?

SPEAKER_02:

I mean, yeah. Those kids jumped her.

SPEAKER_15:

I didn't hear about it.

SPEAKER_04:

No? Yeah, so they like it's a video. It don't really show much of it, but that's little kids beating up the mother and her her kids. Her nine-year-old. It was a nine-year-old, right? A nine-year-old? Yeah, so the woman, she was 33, and her nine-year-old were taking uh they were walking, I think, from school. She picked him up from school, and a group of kids approached them and just started beating them up. Yeah. Just for no reason. At one point she was like, she couldn't do nothing. Her son couldn't do nothing. All she could do is look over. He's crying to her, like, help me. That's so sad. Didn't it say like she had some sort of like um issues with them prior?

SPEAKER_02:

No, but didn't she have some sort of ailment or or something like that? I thought it came out later. Mister What?

SPEAKER_04:

That's not in this one that I have.

SPEAKER_15:

What? She had an ailment? She she had a What was her element?

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, I saw an interview where they talked about She they did do an interview with her, but I don't have that one. And I'm trying to think of what it was because otherwise I would have been boxing the hell out of them little bit. Oh, yeah. I've been using one of them as a bat. You got a like a bunch of kids jumping on you at the same time you're trying to protect your nine-year-old.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, it's right here. You it's it's audio if you wanna. I did have it.

SPEAKER_02:

It wasn't here. You think about like you're trying to defend yourself, defend your child, and potentially not.

SPEAKER_04:

They found them damn kids too. And oh my god, and uh social media ain't shit. I mean they is shit when they can't be shit, because they found the profiles of all of some of them kids' parents, and what? Yeah, you they all gone down. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09:

After she and her son were brutally attacked with her young daughter just steps away, her legs are bruised, and it's hard for her to walk. But what hurts her the most is her children are still suffering. My son is uh he's very devastated.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, that's what I thought she was. Screaming, he's screaming, Mommy, are you there?

SPEAKER_09:

You look like the type of thing. We've stopped we've stopped it after she was dragged to to the ground because of how brutal it is. Her son was beaten, and she says one of her one of the kids pulled her daughter's hair. Her daughter stood off to the side crying, watching her brother and mother get attacked.

SPEAKER_16:

Nine-year-old. Oh, you're nine-year-old.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Mm-hmm. Yes, she wasn't beating all them kids. It was a lot of kids. Right. That's what I'm saying. It was a lot of kids.

SPEAKER_15:

I'd have took one of them and made him an example. I'd have grabbed him by his ankle and started beating the hell out of other kids with that one kid.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, you a guy. You you they probably wouldn't even bother with you. Oh.

SPEAKER_15:

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_04:

You're right. Because to attack a mother who has kids, your first instinct is to protect your kids. Right. So them kids knew that. They ain't stupid.

SPEAKER_02:

So they knew what they was doing. I had read something um today actually about it saying like something like Oprah had donated money to her or whatever to help her or something. One million dollars, I think. Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_15:

Like, oh, that was her that she gave that one million dollars? Wow.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know how accurate. And she's shooting if she's like suing or pressing charges against the um parents. Sure. Everybody like the whole lineage would be at the stake. That those kids are like, that's nothing as far yeah. Like they terror like they've been terrorizing her for a while. Or like the town or the school or whatever. But that's crazy.

SPEAKER_15:

You figure out her element, yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Do you blame the kids or do you blame the parents?

SPEAKER_15:

The parents, absolutely. And both. Both.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15:

Absolutely. Absolutely. They all should go to jail. All of them. If they if that's what they want to live, if that's the type of life they want to live. I don't want to hear it like 10 years from now, oh I'm growing, I don't do that shit. No, you made you knew exactly what you was doing then.

SPEAKER_04:

You know what that reminded me of? That show that I used to watch about which is the true story that happened about the name of the show. I can't remember. Um, but I was faithfully watching that shit. Um where they killed they killed the little Indian girl. Um, and then try to play it off like they didn't, but they was bullying her. They pretend to be her friend. It's it was on Hulu. What you say?

unknown:

Huh?

SPEAKER_15:

He said little Habib.

SPEAKER_02:

No, I did not.

SPEAKER_15:

Oh, that's not what you said? No, I didn't. They done killed little Hobby. That's not what you said. No. Oh.

SPEAKER_02:

I certainly did not.

SPEAKER_14:

I thought that's what you said. Where did you get I thought that's what you said?

SPEAKER_02:

Little Hobby.

SPEAKER_15:

I'm sorry, I thought misheard you. All right, um, no, yeah, my God.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know. I'm just so let me see if I can find the name of that show though. So, Mr.

SPEAKER_02:

Like you got kids. So say like it was brought to you that like one of your sons um was caught and he was with a group of friends that ended up attacking some woman and her kids and like beat her or whatever. Like, do you expect that like for you to go to jail because of that?

SPEAKER_13:

Yes.

SPEAKER_02:

I'm not just gonna be like, Yeah, take me away because they're minors, right?

SPEAKER_15:

So some somebody has to be held responsible.

SPEAKER_04:

Under the bridge, that's what the name of that show was. Oh yeah, okay. Like the 14-year-olds killed another 14-year-old girl. Okay, yeah. I yes, I remember that. That show made me so fucking mad. I remember that.

SPEAKER_15:

But no, I I I see what you're saying. Like, you know, should I get arrested for my child my child's actions? I I will be held, I will have to be held accountable for something. I don't know if arresting is, but I'm sure I'm gonna get sued and stuff like that. So that kind of accountability is probably worse because if you're living in a spot like that, you probably can't afford being sued.

SPEAKER_02:

Because I mean, depending on the state, they could try them as adults. Yeah, they can't. So like Yeah, they can.

SPEAKER_15:

It doesn't matter sometimes. You you make you make your own bed. So like you you fuck up like that. It's nothing I can do. I tried to stare you in the the right direction this whole time. If you decide to still do that bullshit, then that's where you want to be.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, yeah, I'm saying like their parents were staring them in nowhere.

SPEAKER_15:

So it's like and then I'ma still get I'ma still be held accountable for the lawsuits and stuff like that. So it's like if this is the way you want to learn, yeah, I can't do anything at this point.

SPEAKER_02:

What if it was like your son gonna get five years, or you gotta do one year so he don't have to serve?

SPEAKER_14:

Oh, you doing five years because what is he learning?

SPEAKER_15:

No, I know. You see what I'm saying? Like, what is he learning? He's not dad's gonna always take it. Yeah, like he's not learning uh being uh disciplined, he's not learning to take responsibility, accountability if I'm going to No, you you was out there, deal with it. I told you not to. I told you not to do this shit. I told you to get your education. Uh I'm I'm a big stickler on that shit. Like matter of fact, I had something I done threatened my son with military school. Really? I swear to God. I was and I was dead serious. If I can't discipline you enough so you have self-control and be responsible and accountable at the school that you go to, then I failed. And the if you can't follow my direction, then military school, you have to follow there. Turn his ass right around. Yeah. Right around. Grades are coming up fast as fuck.

SPEAKER_02:

So I mean Well, I hate that you say like you failed.

SPEAKER_15:

I don't think that that's no, no. I I but that's uh that's that's just me. I take it, I take it real personal because I I really invest a lot into my children.

SPEAKER_02:

So it's like I sometimes it doesn't mean your child is bad, like yeah. Sometimes they're just influenced, so like they could be a great child, yeah, but they're influenced by that group and they're caught up in that one incident that turned bad. It doesn't mean that you did something wrong or didn't raise them right, or you know, yeah.

SPEAKER_15:

I try to show them like all the avenues that could possibly happen to look out for. And I know that sometimes when you're talking to young kids, like they don't they don't see in front of their face too much. They they kind of just go with the flow, just try to fit in. And I've been that age before and I've done that before. So it's it's sort of like it's a fine line that you can do. So it's like I I know you know I'm doing the best I can, and I I know they're trying to do the best they can, but you gotta understand that there's consequences with the things that you do. So I if I I let at least let them know, like if you do that, these are the possibilities. So if you choose to, then you choose one of these possibilities.

SPEAKER_04:

I feel like it has to do a lot also too, because when you you think about when we was younger, it's all about whether or not you want to follow the path, the path of somebody else, or you want to be your own person. Yeah. Because I know a lot of times when I could have been in dumbass situations and I'd be like, yeah, I'm not doing that. And it's not like, no, you're not gonna talk me into that. I'm not doing that shit. I'm gonna do what the fuck I want to do. So if anything that has happened, it's because I wanted to fucking do it. It had nothing to do. And so a lot of these kids don't have that leadership embedded in them. Right. So it's easy for them to fall into being caught up in some stupid shit. Yeah, a flock of sheep. Not even realizing that. And like the leader kids that are the ones that's actually the bad kids is the ones who coerce another kids and they're doing their bidding.

SPEAKER_17:

Right.

SPEAKER_13:

Doing their bidding?

SPEAKER_04:

It's technically their bidding.

SPEAKER_15:

I love the terms.

SPEAKER_02:

Well, good luck to them. Good luck to all of them. And I I say that even the kids that did it because get them counseling. Their lives are forever changed now. Um and it could have went completely. Some of them won somebody could have died. Yeah. Yeah. It could have, yeah.

SPEAKER_15:

Now they gotta live with that, and they're gonna be sorry for for the rest of their life, and it's and it's sad that they don't understand that prior to, like, prior to that. There's no thought process on how this shit could go left. You see what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_04:

So that depends too.

SPEAKER_15:

Like, nobody in the group was like, This is a bad idea. Like, we shouldn't do this.

SPEAKER_04:

Right. Like, there's you might have had that person who was thinking that and be scared to say something. And and that show again is another proof that that happened. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_15:

Yeah, her pressure is the bitch, man.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, it is. Yeah, we we had it when we was young, but again, you gotta be strong within yourself to be like, bitch, go do that shit to yourself. I ain't doing that shit.

SPEAKER_15:

Fucking crazy.

SPEAKER_02:

Well, you you guys were never like pressured into anything?

SPEAKER_15:

Oh, pretty, a bunch of stuff. Yeah, yeah, and I was just like, fuck no. I know because it was breaking the fucking rules. Like, I it if it comes to the rules, eh, I could bend the rules. Law, nigga, I ain't going to jail for you. And I've I've been in plenty situations where I I walked away. Yeah. And matter of fact, I got a story. So one of my good friends. Anybody who knows me who went to high school know who my good friend is, right? Roberta. Flat. Um, so he had a girlfriend.

SPEAKER_02:

You slept with her?

SPEAKER_15:

No. Although, although wait, although, right? He thought, like, it was a I'll get into that later. He tried to fight me because of this shit. But anyway, so he had a girl that he thought somebody was trying to mess with her, right? So I had no idea. So I I had borrowed my mom's car to pick him up to go just driving. He told me, No, you bring me to this store. So he I think it was his aunt store or something like that. So we go to his aunt's store, and lo and behold, the guy who was messing with his girlfriend worked there. And I'm like, that's funny. Like, I why are we at your aunt's spot? And he just so happens to be here, right? So I'm laughing because I know exactly, exactly. So I'm we're walking into the store, and all the all the alarm bells is ringing in my head, like, we should not be here. But his it's his aunt's spot. So I'm like, he's not gonna do anything stupid in here. It's his aunt's spot. And I am driving my mom's car illegally. Like, I don't even have a license, but she let me use the car to drive to the store and back.

SPEAKER_17:

Right.

SPEAKER_15:

I told her I was going to the store. I didn't tell her I was gonna pick up my boy and go to this to this spot. So I was supposed to be going to the store and back. That's how I usually get the car, you know. So we there, and he's just moseying up, and he's talking to the guy, and I'm like, and I'm looking at him, and then I just see him like there's an African cane, like a walking stick to the to his side. So he picks up the walking stick on the smoothest thing I ever seen him do. He picks it up and he cracks this man in his head. He just falls right to the front. I thought that man was dead. And I'm like, what the fuck? Like, I'm so out of it. So I'm like, first off, I I grabbed him by his fucking hand. I'm like, what the fuck are you doing? Right? And he was just like, no, he talking to my girl. I was like, so the fuck. Oh, his girl was in the car with us. I forgot. I picked her ass up too. Oh my god. And I was like, I was like, nigga, I'm not even supposed to be driving this car. So I left his ass right there. Did you? I listen.

SPEAKER_02:

So you drove away with his girl.

SPEAKER_15:

I drove away with his girl in the car. And I I was like, nigga, I'm not even supposed to have this fucking car out here. The cops come with all this bullshit, nigga. What the fuck are you thinking? I don't give a fuck. I was like, nigga, I'm leaving you here. I'm bringing your girl home and I'm going home. I'm not getting caught up in your bullshit. Nothing happened after that, but I was just like, I am not, I am not a part of this. I am not gonna be a part of this. Ain't no fucking way that you just gonna walk me into this type type shit.

SPEAKER_04:

I didn't and I it I without a heads up and not like nothing.

SPEAKER_15:

And in instincts is like, as soon as we walked in this place, I just alarm bells like my my fucking instincts was like, get the fuck out of here. Because this as soon as I seen him, I was like, oh, it's something ain't right. But I thought it because it's his aunt's spot, he was just gonna like talk, talk it out or you know, argue, type of type type shit. I ain't think he was gonna crack him in the fucking head like that. I ain't I didn't know what happened to that dude after that. I I just left.

SPEAKER_04:

And he didn't care.

SPEAKER_15:

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_15:

He's like, Yo, my bad. Yo, I just yo, you fucking with me, talking shit. That nigga was out of his mind. Out of his mind.

SPEAKER_02:

Now imagine like that all went left, and the three of y'all get. Because I'm complicit. Because you're complicit. I brought him there. All accomplices, and then your mama go to jail for it.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, you were about to say, why am I in jail, Mr.

She wasn't kidding? She done got out the next day knowing her talking power. I probably still, you know, y'all would have changed my whole fucking life.

SPEAKER_14:

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_15:

Whole fucking life. That's crazy. That put a real damper on our friendship after that. I tell you. Like, my whole shit was like, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Because it makes you realize, like, all right, nigga, we supposed to be good friends, and you gonna put me in a situation like that. Like you ain't thinking shit through. So that just makes me know you ain't gonna think no other crazier shit through. So nah. Yeah, I'm good.

SPEAKER_15:

And then he turned on me because he thought I was fucking with his girl.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh my god, you looking at the African state.

SPEAKER_15:

You know, his girl showed me her titties, and I was like, How did that just happen? So I we was on a bus. We was on a, we was coming back from a oh, let me talk. We was coming back from a field trip. Now, if I say this and he hear this shit, he probably get mad again, and I didn't even do shit. So we was coming back from a field trip, and I was sitting by myself, by myself, right? Because I had a I had a no, I think I broke up with my girl that. Time. I so I was by myself. I didn't give a fuck. Everybody was going, you know, back of the bus type shit. Wild. So she comes to sit next to me. And I'm like, yo, what's up? You know, just have a conversation.

SPEAKER_10:

She was like, You got one of those applications.

SPEAKER_15:

You know what's funny? Hold up. She she it started off something like that without the application. But she's like, I heard some stuff that you real good with that. What I what if I can't even remember the conversation? Whatever the fuck. And I was like, Yeah, that's between me and her, but you know, you my man's girl, so I ain't gonna talk to you like that about this. Whatever. And I kept saying, You my man's girl, you my man's girl. She was like, Yeah, yeah. And then boom, show me the titties. Now, everybody on the bus seen her show him her titties. And it's like, why would you do that? Like, what the fuck is up with you? So I go to try to tell him, like, yo, this bitch wildin'. Like, she he did not believe me at all. And I'm like, nigga, like, bro, try to fight me. He's like, What? We got arrested. We got arrested that day because he came and started fighting me in class in school, throwing these haymakers, and I'm ducking and dodging and shit. And I'm so mad, I start to tear up. Like, this nigga is really trying to fucking take my head off because of some bullshit that I didn't even do.

SPEAKER_03:

He's like the media, mediocre two titties, bitch. Yo, them little ass titties that everybody seen. Like, nobody wants them shits. I'm not fighting you for no goddamn corn niblets.

SPEAKER_15:

I got arrested and I had to go to fucking the police station. Really? I was so pissed, and I was suspended from school for a couple days just because of some. I was trying to defend myself.

SPEAKER_04:

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_15:

After those two incidents, I was like, yeah, me and him, we gonna be cool, but from a distance. Like, I ain't nah. From a distance. So yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

That's wild. Yeah, that's the one female I didn't fuck. I'm glad I never lived that type of stuff. That's the one female hated. Out of all of the kids.

SPEAKER_04:

Hell yo, get out of here. Yeah, that's why like I don't. I be cool with people, but I always side-eye everybody because you just can't trust people like that. You never can. Yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_02:

What's next? So we're going back to Florida. Hey, Florida, how you been? Been a while, huh? So 38-year-old Ivana Noble from Deerfield Beach, Florida, faces charges of false imprisonment of a child under 13 and burglary. So evidently she was at a shell gas station. Bitch look unhinged. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_15:

Um white people doing white things. That's fighting.

SPEAKER_02:

A grandma stopped to refuel her um car, and it started smoking, so she had asked for help. And while she was standing um by the um driver's side of the door, this lovely woman handed over to her uh what appeared to be an Argentinian ID card. What? Um, claiming that the woman was her aunt. Um the grandmother said that she did not pay her much mind until uh Noble suddenly walked to the passenger side, opened the rear door where uh the five-year-old was sitting, and evidently she grabbed the boy's arm and said, I'm taking him. This child is the wrong color to be with this woman. The grandmother immediately stepped between her and her grandson, shouting for help. Um, they begin to struggle. And it says, Um, witnesses heard the grandmother screaming that someone was trying to kidnap her child. Um she's crazy. I don't understand. I don't know what um what color she was expecting the child to be and why she felt she was gonna be the savior of the child.

SPEAKER_13:

It sounds like some shit.

SPEAKER_04:

I would have had to beat the shit out of that bitch, but I get it. It was a grandmother.

SPEAKER_15:

Grab the child.

SPEAKER_04:

Like I would have fucked her up, ain't no way. I'm wondering if like But who don't lock their doors when they get out of here.

SPEAKER_15:

Yo, my nephew, Spanish as fuck.

SPEAKER_04:

I like I lock my doors though. Like when I'm pumping gas, it's weird, but I do it because I don't trust shit.

SPEAKER_02:

It just seems off. It seems weird. Like the whole story? This woman is pumping her gas, you come walking up to the woman and show her Argentini ID.

SPEAKER_04:

Like, what does that have to do with anything?

SPEAKER_02:

What does that have to do with anything? And then somehow you notice that the there's a kid in the back seat, and you're like, wait, you know the right color palette? I feel like it was like set up, like because the grandmother had just recently got custody of the ass woman.

SPEAKER_13:

Oh, she was trying to get rid of that mama.

SPEAKER_02:

So I'm like, I feel like this was the setup. Yeah. Like maybe the parents or something was trying to get their kid back. Probably. Oh. Because it doesn't say why she got custody. But it's just weird that this random woman just comes up to you at the gas station and I'm Argentina.

SPEAKER_15:

Let me get this baby. Yeah, like what?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, that is very weird. So I'm not saying that odd things don't happen and people aren't crazy. Clearly. That's just so strange. That's really weird. But again, it's Florida, so I don't put much past.

SPEAKER_13:

That's wild. Do better.

SPEAKER_04:

Mm-hmm. So y'all know Smokey back in the news. Oh. Smokey Robinson? That's not in crazy.

SPEAKER_15:

Oh, that's that's Smokey? He why he look like some like Asian woman. Smoking Olympic. He looks like an old Asian woman. Like from this angle. Never mind. Alright. Like one of those Asian wigs. Like the rice bowl wig.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, so Smokey back in the news. Smokey's back in the news because, you know, prior to this, he's he was accused of sexual assault. Now it's sexual assault of a man coming up saying that Smokey grabbed this guy's hand and tried to put it on his erect private parts. Yeah, with that wig on. That's our gem.

SPEAKER_15:

He looked like an Asian woman with that wig on, so I can see I can see why he would do that.

SPEAKER_04:

He don't have a wig. Oh, that's not a head.

SPEAKER_15:

Oh, I from the angle.

SPEAKER_04:

That's why I'm like, what are you talking about?

SPEAKER_15:

From the angle that was he it looked, it looked crazy.

SPEAKER_04:

Because I don't see it. It only like you know who it looked like with a wig?

SPEAKER_02:

My mother. Stop it. So I'm not even gonna be funny.

SPEAKER_14:

That's the first person I thought of.

SPEAKER_04:

So from this angle, from this angle, it looks just like that. Y'all gonna leave my mama alone in the song soup.

SPEAKER_13:

Yo mama is Smokey Robinson. Don't let her fool you.

SPEAKER_04:

My mama don't fool me with Smokey. Touch me in my private pocket. But it's so crazy that so many artists are being like sued and just so much like. But I mean, if you got all that ass in this room, no, so I'm just saying, yeah.

SPEAKER_15:

They're doing what they know, and they can't they feel like they can still do what they know in a day and age like this, where everything is captured, recorded, people telling it's snitching season.

SPEAKER_04:

Like But what the issue is is that people think just because this person is a celebrity that that they lose all humanity. Like, like they're just oh, they're so I mean not lose humanity, like they're just great and they can't do no wrong. Um, they're still people.

SPEAKER_15:

They've been probably doing wrong forever.

SPEAKER_02:

These are still human beings. I gotta think of some of those, the celebrities that have it's been coming out about and during the time of exactly, you know, and it's like the drug era. Yeah, no, I'm not like excusing anything, but it doesn't seem far-fetched that sugar exactly.

SPEAKER_15:

They're doing what they know, they're doing what they know, and they think they can get away with it like they used to, but they can't because the times has changed.

SPEAKER_04:

We run around here bumping and touching after they don't did that line. Not bumping and touching.

SPEAKER_02:

Not a line.

SPEAKER_04:

With that booger sugar on it, no. Booger sugar.

SPEAKER_02:

So there is a news story that I want to um it's a uh there's uh audio. Uh uh. Shut up. Uh it's very interesting. It's two news reporters doing a story on a monkey. Um Lord. Yes. And I need you to play the whole video.

You knew exactly what you intended on saying. Your coworker, your colleague, is a black man. You're doing a story on an ape, and the first thing that you decide to come out your mouth.

SPEAKER_04:

Bitch, shut the fuck up. He should have slapped the shit out of her. And I don't condone, you know.

SPEAKER_15:

You condone shit like that. Yes, I condone that.

SPEAKER_02:

You had to throw salt in her eyes because she was trying to squeeze the tear out. Did you see it was no tear? Nothing.

SPEAKER_03:

I didn't like, you know, you're my best friend.

SPEAKER_04:

Y'all bitches always sound the same. She's like, I'm sure it was a call for her job.

SPEAKER_02:

And so she's like, Of course. And I'm assuming the network told her to do that public apology if you want to keep your job right now. They probably didn't want to have to fire her, so she needed to um uh come to Jesus and redemption.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't like put her on the the late night shift and give me another co-host because ain't no way. Ain't no fucking way.

SPEAKER_15:

I'll put a black black woman right across from him. Like she she done.

Like Yo, the switch, the switch for them tears is crazy. She's looking at the camera the whole time. Like apologizing to us. Somebody who is so emotional that is extremely emotionless. Cut it out.

You've been my best friend for the last year and a half. You've only known him for a year and a half. And that means clearly you don't like this motherfucker. You was comfortable enough. Yeah, I had to clear that. Yeah, yeah. You were comfortable enough.

SPEAKER_14:

The sweetest balls. Oh my god. They were baby shower balls. I guess.

SPEAKER_02:

Comfortable enough to say to say something like that to someone you've only known for a year and a half. And known for a year and a half at a work setting.

SPEAKER_15:

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_04:

You know she went home talking shit. You guys saw what I said about such and such. Oh my God. I can't believe like that just really happened and then all that flack came.

SPEAKER_04:

Mm-mm. Mm-mm. So, um. Did y'all um how Max B just got out? And now his camp is uh supposedly attacking people now. Um, they try to jump Jaru. He said leave him all the way out of it. Who Max? Yeah. He was like, and and and that's my thing. I was like, this man ain't been out but two seconds. Yeah, he was like, Don't put that on me. He was like, that had nothing to do with me. Because y'all could potentially put him back in jail. People was like, right? Because he could be out on probation. That could be a violation. You know what I'm saying? You know how the courts be ready to out there performing.

SPEAKER_02:

He wasn't even back there.

SPEAKER_04:

Crazy.

SPEAKER_02:

They was like, you didn't hear the song playing in the background.

SPEAKER_04:

He was performing. Yeah. Like. But you know, they always like the oh, it's his people, so it was him. Like, no, stop grouping me in with these motherfuckers who want to take do stupid shit. Like, those are the people you just need to separate yourself from. That's why I don't leave my house. But you hear? This is my house. Like, mm-mm. I just thought that was interesting.

SPEAKER_02:

How long was Maxby in?

SPEAKER_13:

15 years.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_04:

What was he in there for?

SPEAKER_13:

Something.

SPEAKER_02:

You don't know? Yeah, I don't remember what it was.

SPEAKER_15:

But you see, prize. Yeah, he got bagged.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_15:

Some uh fraud shit.

SPEAKER_04:

For like the Obama.

SPEAKER_15:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13:

With his finger.

SPEAKER_02:

We got uh who he got.

SPEAKER_15:

Oh, okay. Who he got?

SPEAKER_02:

So we got two groups, group A and group B.

SPEAKER_15:

Okay.

SPEAKER_02:

Who which group would win in an RB versus battle? Group A consists of Prince, R. Kelly, Chris Brown, and Beyonce. Group B consists of Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Usher, and Mary J. Blige.

SPEAKER_13:

Group B.

SPEAKER_15:

You talking about versus like hit for hit? Group B. Group B got them fucked up.

SPEAKER_02:

I would say the same thing.

SPEAKER_15:

Michael Jackson alone.

SPEAKER_04:

As soon as he said Michael Jackson, I was like, Group B. That's all you need.

SPEAKER_15:

Mariah got a Christmas song and a couple joints.

SPEAKER_04:

And I Mariah has a lot of shit.

SPEAKER_02:

I feel like Mariah has hits can go against Beyonce. Yes. Like she has enough hits to battle Beyonce's hits. And Michael has more hits than Usher at this point. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Even Mary got hits, though. Mm-hmm. Like people don't people think Mary don't have hits, but Mary got hits.

SPEAKER_02:

Not that there's they both have heavy hitters on both of the teams. But yeah, just the mere fact that they had Michael Jackson on. And again, it's so funny when they split Michael and Prince. Yeah. And Michael always seems to take the top.

SPEAKER_15:

Because that's that's what we hear the majority of the songs that we hear was Michael Jackson growing up. From from his uh Jackson 5 days all the way up to thriller and all that shit. And butterflies.

SPEAKER_04:

Regardless of that though, like even though Prince wrote mad people shit and had mad hits and all that, it's still it's still it's still not.

SPEAKER_16:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Because that's what people mo mainly will argue a lot about, the hits and shit that Prince did. But it's Michael. Yeah. And that's all you gotta say.

SPEAKER_02:

So we got one more who you got. Another versus battle. It's ladies versus gents, RB edition. So for the ladies team, you have Brandy, Ashanti, Monica, and Keisha Cole versus Mario, Tank, Tyrese, and Lloyd. The girls.

SPEAKER_04:

The girls. And when I say the girls, I mean I would take Brandy, Monica, and Keisha Cole over.

SPEAKER_02:

They're a group.

SPEAKER_15:

You saying song for song? Versus.

SPEAKER_02:

And a verse, a versus battle, yeah.

SPEAKER_15:

And male group has more.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, you mean song to song? Mario. Tyrese and Lloyd. So Tyrese.

SPEAKER_04:

The crazy part though, a lot.

SPEAKER_02:

Tyrese.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15:

Signs of making love. That shit was.

SPEAKER_04:

I feel like Tyrese has more hits than Tank. Yes, yes, he does. Yeah. Tyrese does have more hits than Tank. Um but Mario has the voice, but I don't think he has the hits. And I was gonna say that. I was gonna say people don't really fuck with Mario like that. Um but as much as you might not say that Ashanti has the vocals, she has hit.

SPEAKER_02:

She has hit.

SPEAKER_04:

She has hit. She has the hits. Yeah. Yeah, I'll go group A. Keisha Cole got hits too. I even gonna hold you. I'll go group A.

SPEAKER_02:

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_15:

Um Yeah, I'm with you, Nene. Uh Group A.

SPEAKER_02:

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_15:

Song for song versus Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, I thought that was interesting.

SPEAKER_15:

Yeah. I like the lineup for Group B. Man, if you go hit for hit, mmm. They gotta have hard.

SPEAKER_02:

What would you have switched out in order to make it a stronger uh battle against the females?

SPEAKER_04:

Well, uh I would have switched out Lloyd.

SPEAKER_02:

I was gonna say Lloyd.

SPEAKER_04:

Um I would have put I don't even want to do that, but if you had to put Chris Brown in there, it they would have lost. Yeah. The females would have lost. You think so? I think so. Like, if you put Chris, you keep you keep Tyrese, I would take out Tank. I would take out Tank. I'm sorry, but I would take out Mario too. Because we talk about versus Justin Timberlake.

unknown:

Why was I gonna say that?

SPEAKER_04:

That would be a good that would be a good yeah. Justin Timberlake. Yeah. Yep, that'd be good.

SPEAKER_02:

Um Do you think if you threw R. Kelly in there, you would feel different?

SPEAKER_04:

Hit for hit? He They would have lost.

SPEAKER_15:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, they would have lost.

SPEAKER_15:

R.

SPEAKER_04:

Kelly with the verses, yeah. Yeah, R. R.

SPEAKER_15:

Lost. R. Kelly, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Brown, and Tyrese. Tyrese?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. Oh no. Yeah. They're over.

SPEAKER_02:

Nobody fucking with the bitch dude. But it's the vocal Bible.

SPEAKER_04:

She ain't got no fucking major hits. All she got is no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_02:

A lot of don't do that.

SPEAKER_04:

Not a lot. No, I'm not a lot of major hits. She's not to R. Kelly. Not compared to R.

SPEAKER_02:

Kelly. I could match you with R. Kelly's major hits with Brandy. You don't listen to Brandy enough to know her major hits. But I'm talking about. I don't, because I I don't see it. Because what you may, what y'all may like like some of his songs doesn't mean that they were a major hit.

SPEAKER_15:

Right, right, right, right. I mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Every song R. Kelly put out wasn't a major.

SPEAKER_15:

You gotta, you gotta put together the craziest girl group to go against that lineup.

SPEAKER_02:

Cause like I would put Chris, I would say Chris Brown as far as making it.

SPEAKER_15:

I mean, he had most of TP2 was all hit records.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15:

You know what I'm saying? 12th Play was all almost all hit records, too.

SPEAKER_02:

They wasn't all singles.

SPEAKER_15:

No, all singles, but I'm saying, like, you could get two or three.

SPEAKER_02:

That's what I'm saying. You may have liked them, but they weren't major, major hits. They weren't singles.

SPEAKER_15:

They weren't from TP2, a lot of them were singles. T P2 had a lot of singles.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay.

SPEAKER_15:

Yeah. 12 Play had probably one or two. Um, but then all his other he had he had a a couple. Yeah, I see what you're saying. That's easy.

SPEAKER_02:

I mean, I can name you 20 uh Monica major hits. No, I'm saying it's a group.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm just saying, like, oh, I was just talking about Brandy P.

SPEAKER_02:

That's why I was saying. If you threw R. Kelly in there, do you think that it would make that male group beat the female group?

SPEAKER_15:

Oh. Yeah, I'm sure. There's a whole bunch of records. And I'm I'm sitting on the side of uh I don't I didn't listen to a lot of R. Kelly joints. I just know I had the TP2 album and I know what was playing on the radio in that era. Like R. Kelly was hard to get off the radio. He was hard to get off at that time, he was hard to get off the radio. And then he did a bunch of features that if we're gonna do features too. I know, right?

SPEAKER_02:

I mean, if we're gonna do features too.

SPEAKER_15:

I mean, in verses, they kind of do, right? They're bringing in features. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02:

That's only even going to beef up the other side. Exactly. So I don't know.

SPEAKER_15:

But then, but then if we still got Chris Brown on the team, I mean, that that should even it out.

SPEAKER_04:

Chris Brown, yeah. I would like to.

SPEAKER_15:

Can you throw Usher in there with all his hits?

SPEAKER_04:

But that's what I'm saying. Like, if it's Chris Brown with all of those, I mean, that's a fight.

SPEAKER_15:

That is a fight.

SPEAKER_04:

Absolutely. That's a major fight. Absolutely. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

But I wouldn't go as far as to be like, oh, that's a clean sweep. No, no, I'm no, I wasn't saying the clean sweep thing.

SPEAKER_04:

I wasn't saying the group thing.

SPEAKER_02:

I was speaking for one person, period. I don't agree with the that's what I'm saying. I don't agree with the R. Kelly thing as a clean sweep against No R.

SPEAKER_15:

Kelly versus Br Brandy? No, no, I wasn't saying that. No, no. No, I'm just saying, I was saying uh group-wise, I think the that group would clean them up pretty well. Especially if you uh and then justin Timolake, dog. I think him, I think him and Brandy will go neck and neck.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes.

SPEAKER_15:

You think I'm saying? So if they're going neck and neck, who covering who covering Chris Brown?

SPEAKER_02:

Actually, I would put Brandy against Chris Brown.

SPEAKER_15:

Oh, you what? Alright, so who covering up Justin? Monica. Okay, and then and then R.

SPEAKER_02:

Kelly would be with but see, we didn't do the switch out for females. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We just did the switch out for males.

SPEAKER_15:

So who would you put who would you switch out for the females?

SPEAKER_02:
