Speaker 1:

This morning, just so I can. I'm like, yeah, I'm watching this fight, you watching, um, which fight is this? Now this? You know Mike Tyson, and who is it? Jake, jake, paul or Logan? It's Jake, jake, Jake Jake, from State Farm. Yeah, that nigga. But no. So I'm like I mean, let me get this little Netflix package back, just so I can tune in. Just so I can tune in to see this, because I saw Mike slap the nigga yesterday at the weigh-in.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if that shit was staged. You know you gotta sell this shit, for sure, for sure, for sure. Fucking worked on me because I signed up this morning like, yeah, I'm gonna get Netflix back. You know, fuck this budgeting shit. Let me eat up, but I'm back in the game.

Speaker 1:

So what do you think? Do you think? Do you think this fight is real and you know what I mean by real or do you think it's like, hey, opportunity, you know jake gets some more clout. You know I'm saying mike opportunity to show what he got at 58, 56?. Yeah, mike is.

Speaker 1:

I'll answer your question first. I think it has his levels with it all. I think it is publicity. You need a little bit of that. I think it is a media stunt a little bit, just because it does Mike some good to make some money. Jake to make some money, jake, paul to make some money. Mike, like Mike is great and I also think that this is good for people, for Mike, I think it's good for people with entertainment.

Speaker 1:

Remember, mike Tyson was feared and still is feared and still is a fucking animal. Nothing to he. Still ain't nothing to fuck with, still ain't nothing to fuck with. Because Jake said you know and this is the point where I'm like all right, jake, calm down, like you don't call Mike Tyson a bitch or you don't say he hit like a bitch. I don't care how old he is, no, because I don't think that nigga hit like a bitch under like no circumstances, like not even that you know, like so you don't do that. That's kind of what the point of me is.

Speaker 1:

Like, man, that whole, that whole slap shit was staged. I think it was staged, but I think it, uh, it most definitely added some excitement. It did got me. I signed back up for netflix. I'm watching this shit. I hey listen. Tonight I will be choosing between a 13-0 Cavaliers team and some preliminary fights. Nah, the game should be over by the time Jake and Mike go on. I'm hoping, because I'm going to be watching my Cavs and we got to talk about them too. They on fire. But I don't know, man. Just you know I'll be watching, that's the main point. For sure, man, I think that the whole fight itself is going to be one entertaining.

Speaker 1:

Mike Tyson is a huge fucking name. Jake Paul is a huge name. Legacy is being made on the level of entertainment. Man, Roy Jones fought Mike Tyson. Excuse me, roy Jones fought Mike Tyson and has said on the podcast like Mike don't know how to play.

Speaker 1:

He said that nigga don't know how to play. He said that nigga don't know how to play. Man, he like the nigga's still strong, nigga's still fast, nigga's still everything. That's funny. He said he don't know how to play and he was like everybody was so scared of Roy Jones getting hurt by Mike Tyson and Mike was like nobody was scared of, nobody was scared of I get hurt, what about me? This guy's tough, but it was one of them. Like hey, brother, nigga, mike ain't no hoe, you can't play box. Remember, you don't play boxing, you don't play baseball. You getting out there exhibition fights just to play. I ain't seen a nigga throw a fake punch. Ever you getting out there exhibition fights just to play? Yeah, I ain't seen a nigga throw a fake punch ever. Right, they've done a great job at selling it. You know, I'll be tuned in.

Speaker 1:

Do you want to see Jake get knocked out? Because I just put my? I do, I do. I want, like I love to see a great fight and I would love to see somebody get knocked out. Yeah, that's what I mean. Preferably Jake, preferably Jake. I'm not rooting for Jake Paul to get knocked the fuck out, but I want to see somebody get knocked out and that somebody is not named Mike, not named Mike. His name is not Mike, the person I want to be knocked out. His name is not Mike Tyson Mike. The person I want to be knocked out is his name, is not Mike Tyson. Yeah, man, I believe that is a is due, and I think that they want somebody with a big name that's known for knocking niggas out to knock him out. That's why I think it they were able to put it together, man, mike. Mike Tyson name still sells tickets, man, you know I'm saying his name still brings um direct seats and direct money and, like I said, my man is golden.

Speaker 1:

So I'll be checking out the fight tonight at 8 pm on Netflix. We don't got no sponsors, but if Netflix, you here, come fuck with us. I got my subscription back. Sorry about everything I said a couple weeks ago. I don't have a Netflix account, but I pay for it. Everybody else got Netflix, even my nieces and nephews and shit got Netflix accounts at our house. First off, lo got a Netflix account at our house. He got a Disney Plus account at our house. Oh, he got a profile. Yeah, profile. My apologies, he has a profile. I don't got an account. My first concern who's paying for this shit? $25.99?.

Speaker 1:

So, man, let's tap into the Cavs a little bit. Man, what is the Cavs' record at this time? The Cavs are 13-0. Repeat that for them. The Cavs are 13-0, aka, not to be fucked with 216. Cleveland Cavaliers are 13-0. They say 13 is an unlucky number, what you think? Well, if that's the case, they wouldn't. They would have been stopped at 12. Yeah, or they're going to go to 14. They're going to go to 14. You know why? Me and Mika going to the game on Sunday, y'all going to bless them like that.

Speaker 1:

So we need, we need. I'm pulling so hard, selfishly, I'm pulling so hard for them to win tonight. A week ago, I want to say about a week ago, a good game, but you know we came out undefeated. Um, between there we play, we play philly. Um, I forget who a shorthanded philly, I want to give them that a shorthanded philadelphia team. And now we're playing chicago again. So I needs, I need for them to remain undefeated. So when I take my baby out for her birthday to the game and we got the new have you seen the city edition jerseys and shit? No, no, you're going to have to hit me up. Yeah, I'll show you in a minute, but definitely you can cop. Some of them it's fly and she like that blue on them. So, yeah, I need them to be undefeated.

Speaker 1:

When we walk into the building on Sunday, you going to do anything good if you get a victory, you going to do anything special. That's a fucking question. Mario, we did it. We, happy as Me and Mick, we went to a game oddly enough, the last game we went to last season. They played Charlotte as well. That's what they play on Sunday and a good-ass game.

Speaker 1:

Man, usually Mick could be wanting to like leave early. Like we went to the Ohio State game for the first time earlier this season we played Western Michigan. It was whooping their ass. We left at the end of the third quarter, the end of the third Me could be ready. I'd be wanting to shut the game down Like I want security to tell me to leave.

Speaker 1:

I want to be the person you know when they doing like the post-game news shit. You know what I'm saying AC Gabby Russell. I want to be the person in the back Irritating, irritating me. Nobody left Somebody in the back sweeping up popcorn and shit and I'm back there. That'd be me up and you ready to go.

Speaker 1:

But when we went to that game last year I believe we went into double overtime. And who's y'all, who was the? This was against charlotte, against charlotte. Same team who they playing on sunday. They chicago tonight with charlotte on sunday.

Speaker 1:

When we go to the game went into double overtime. Bro, hella, excitement, she was loud, crazy, she getting loud, crazy, like really enjoying. And I'm so glad we stayed all the way through the game because years prior we went to a hockey game, we got some free tickets, went to the game and we took we took my oldest son low. He's like six or seven at the time this is a while ago we left the hockey game early. I mean it's cool. I'm not like a hockey fan, I could watch it on TV early. I mean it's cool, I'm not a like a hockey fan, I could watch it on tv. But you know I'm not really really impressed. We leave early.

Speaker 1:

We end up finding out they went into like a nine round shootout at the end of that hockey game like the most rounds that had ever been in a in a shootout, at least at that level of hockey the lake erie monsters or the cleveland monsters um, when it's like a nine-round shootout, hella, excitement. It's like, oh, we left early and we missed that. Shit. Sound like something exciting, mad, exciting, man. So I feel like I got my get back. You know, last year when we went to that Cavaliers game and they went into double overtime with all of that excitement and Shit going crazy. I'm getting loud, crazy.

Speaker 1:

It's nice having good like neighbors when you at an event like that, having you know what I'm saying, the people who you don't know, who's sitting around you, who don't mind when you get a little crazy, fucking high five. Oh yeah, I mean. That's one of the most purest ways to make friends is like at social events and shit. Yeah, for sure, people will blend because of the music, they'll blend because of the sport, they'll blend because of that, all of that. Yeah, I thought they was going to be mad at me because I didn't stand during the anthem. Really, yeah, I didn't stand during the anthem.

Speaker 1:

Was this basketball or football? It was basketball. Oh, yeah, I mean it. You do the perp For, like, yeah, my wife stood up, my leg hurt. What the fuck y'all gonna do. But then Double overtime. Yeah, say, how about your leg hurt? Yeah, yeah, I'm better now. I'm better. The ibuprofen kicked in it's beer, but no man. But it's nice having good Seating neighbors and good seating neighbors when you're at a sporting event, man. So shout out to the Cavs Good luck tonight against Chicago and I'll see y'all on Sunday against Charlotte. Man, come on, let's smack them. Let's keep it rolling, for sure, man. What about them? Cleveland Browns, bro, wah-wah, wah-wah. I'm hurt.

What is? Two, they're what? Two and seven off the bye. Yeah, two and seven. Yeah, if they was shooting three-pointers, bro, they like 19%, maybe like 13. Three division games left was shooting three pointers, bro, they like 19 percent. And we still maybe like 13. Three division games left. They ain't winning. No division games. Nah, nah, yeah, I'm.

Speaker 1:

This is hard for me, and you and I was supposed to talk about this a while ago, but we didn't. Um, I can't put myself through this no more. I can't keep letting the brown you got your browns cup right here turn the dog so it ain't looking at me. I feel threatened. I'm Freedom Speakers, thank you. I am a Browns fan of Cleveland, ohio 216. And I am here drinking out of a Browns mug that was made for me by somebody really, really special. I cannot remember who it was. I think it was Vanessa. I'm talking shit, but I can't keep putting myself through this man like I can deal with. I can deal with the Browns losing. Clearly we've been losing for some time. We have a good season, we have a mid season and then we have seasons where we trash.

Speaker 1:

I was a fan all through the 0-15 season the one, I'm sorry the 0-16 season and the 1-15 season, two back-to-back seasons. We got out of that 0-16 season because it was coming and we ended up beating. Then they were the San Diego Chargers. On the Saturday I was at the barbershop, ended up beating San Diego Like whoo shit, we ain't going to be 0-16. And what happened the very next season? Nigga, 0-16. That shit disgusting. I believe the second team in history to do that. Yeah, detroit Lions did it first. Detroit Lions did it. Yeah. So just crazy, man, just crazy. So, as far as the Browns go, I love them. They will always hold a special place in my heart. I'm looking forward to next year as well. Me too, I'm looking forward to next year as well, but I'm, I'm, I'm a Philadelphia Eagles fan for the remainder of the season. That's all I'll say. I'm a Detroit Lions fan. They're really close.

But that's one of the places that I go to, especially since Walmart ain't 24-hour. You can just go get a box of Edmonds or some shit. They probably be coming back. They supposed to. They supposed to be coming back. That's who I'm voting, that's who I voted for, whoever going to bring back the 24-hour Walmart, 24-hour Walmart. I saw it on the, I wrote it in on the ballot.

Speaker 1:

Real shit, man. That's what time, pm? Nah, you got to go like right before they close and bring that shit in at night and don't throw that box out on the street, nigga. You better roll that bitch up backwards. You put that bitch back in your car and you go throw it at your local dumpster. Nigga, throw that shit out where you got it from. Yeah, meet the garbage man out front. Don't leave that shit outside, man.

Speaker 1:

What was it Christmas? Correct me if I'm wrong. I want to say 2002. Playstation 2 boxes the all blue box with the real sleek PS2 and silver Xbox boxes sitting out in your trash. Trash. Day was Wednesday back then, so Tuesday night we see everything y'all got for Christmas. Good luck this week, yeah, and wonder why none of that shit made it to the new year. You know, hey, real shit, man, watch out. Hey, don't throw that PlayStation box out there. No, you got PlayStation in here. Don't tell them. What is some.

Speaker 1:

What is some rules that you would give novice shoppers for this Christmas holiday, like Black Friday coming up in November, and then you got Cyber Monday and all that shit. But then you got at the same time, like just Christmas shopping, all kind of shit. Yeah, um, me, and Jamaica was just talking about this shit. She's like, ah boo, we gotta go Christmas shopping. I'm like it's ghetto, we don't go Christmas shopping, motherfuckers, you know right.

Speaker 1:

Mmhmm, online online shopping, which I used to be weary of, like the packages, you know, I used to live in apartments and shit, you know, you know, depends on your apartment's package system. You don't really want to be ordering shit and they just leave the shit out in front of your door, people walking past your package all day and at some point they're gonna take your shit. Yeah, it becomes tempting. Yeah, so online shopping, even yo black thursday, don't they start, like the Tuesday before now with some stupid shit? I think on the marketing and advertisement side, them niggas be making up anything that get people to get catchy. Black Friday started two Thursdays ago, man, they send you some catchy shit. If you do now, you can be able to get this by this day, like all kind of promotion that get you to buy shit, man, um, so what?

Speaker 1:

I will tell people from my experience, excuse me, maybe about 10, 12 years ago, around that ps3, ps4 time coming out, it was real serious catching people coming out them stores with them PS4s, ps5s, the Xbox, xbox One, xbox S80, nigga Dreamcast, whatever you fucking have. Nigga, go upside your head Quick, fast and in a goddamn hurry, take that PS to the goddamn uh, to the pawn shop. In my early 20s, nigga, I lived at the pawn shop. So it 20s, they got lived at the pawn shop. So it'd be nigga, out there fresh in the parking lot, man, 250, 250 for the ps3, 250, 250 making all man.

Speaker 1:

So freedom speakers, especially single women who out there shopping for them, badass boys, they got all right. Take somebody with you when you go to the store and you get any electronics and shit. Don't be out here by yourself spending money, pulling wads of cash out your titty None of that shit. You go and be as discreet as you can be buying the things that you need for your kids. We don't want you on the news because you got knocked upside your head getting three PlayStations and shit. Some Jordans, nike, tech outfits, depending on where you live at. You might have bought a quad or four-wheeler from somebody for like $800. You know what I'm saying, but nigga don't, and I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1:

Also, since we in Cleveland don't go to Steelyard, I think what last year man folks was out there getting knocked upside, knocked over for the growth. Whatever you got, stay away from the steel yard unless you got some steel with you. That's a fact. I've been to the steel yard one more like once. Me and my mama went down there on Black Friday one year Eight, ten years ago, something like that. They ain't had shit. Yeah, for one, I think it's been a long time since.

You got and I'm not even sure if this place is still open, man, but you got a Maria's Family Restaurant. Where was that at? The name sound mad familiar. It was in Euclid. So you had two on Lakeshore. Talking about Maria's on Lakeshore, on Lakeshore, right by the movie theater Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Maria's Family Restaurant. Yo bussing. I hope they still open, man, but they man. They used to be bussing man, but they man. They used to be bussin' man, but definitely pay them a visit too. But then you got empanadas on Ridge Road and Parma. They food be bussin' too.

Speaker 1:

Now, when I first started going, I was just gettin' empanadas. They got little meal deals and shit bro, they got this man, this chicken stew. Stop playin' with me, man, I'm talking like the rice and make sure you get or a little order of pinto beans to go with it. You can get the chicken and the rice Bruh. The beans got like little pieces of potato and just roasted carrot and shit in it and shit Like oh my, hey, man, it's so good, they cooked it like they gave a fuck man, it's so good, man. And I Pour that shit right on top of my rice, the juice and everything. And when I say it should be hot, should be hot, and throw an empanada in there with it, man, preferably I prefer the beef empanada, but the chicken is good too. And they got apple empanada, pizza empanada, all kind of empanada. I've been in that spot a couple times. Shout out to the empanada spot, fried plantain. But you, man, you brought something back when you hit breakfast, man. So Freedom Speakers, cleveland, ohio, 216.

Speaker 1:

I remember growing up Nostalgic moment. We used to walk From 71st street between Superior and St Clair and go up to 55th and eat breakfast at Landmarks. Oh shit, landmarks used to open up at like 435. Some people would be already outside. I ain't been to. Landmarks used to open up at like 435. Some people would be already outside waiting. I ain't been to Landmarks in like a year Bruh, bruh, maybe longer. I ain't been to Landmarks in like a decade. I hope that motherfucker still open. No, I'm sure they still open. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm going. It's been like a year.

Speaker 1:

Maybe had some change man been to Landmark, maybe, and some change man, but the landmark for sure. So they were running out of eggs. They're like I'm running out of eggs. That was the thing when you didn't egg we need more eggs but a landmarks was was the spot we would always go there. Um, for euclid, when we stayed out euclid, we would go to cortinas off of like 222 and you that's the one, that's the other one I was thinking about. So you got maria's family restaurantina's right on Euclid Avenue for breakfast and that's really what they. You can go in there, maybe 10 or 11, cause I don't think they stayed open too long. Yeah, they ain't stayed open too long, but you can go in there and get like a hamburger, but you didn't go there for that. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

I'm trying to think it was another spot that did breakfast in Cleveland, but I was shifted from uh, gabes, yeah, yeah, gabes, on the west side. Um, you know my Gabes on the west side, right here, right on right. Um, god damn, uh, come on, come on over there. I know what you talking about. That's not Pearl, is it Broadview, broadview? Okay, further down, broadview, broadview? Okay, further down, broadview and Brooklyn Okay, yeah, city above the city of old Brooklyn. Is that old Brooklyn or Brooklyn? One of them? Brooklyn, brooklyn? Okay, where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at? Well, yeah, we would go there and eat too as well. That would be another mom and pop spot that most definitely on the breakfast side.

Speaker 1:

Now for lunch, I'm kind of like a little bit of everywhere. My favorite spot that I used to go to on the west side, off of Ridge and Brook Park, was in that plaza called Luna's. I used to love to go to Luna's, get their wings and eat and we'd kick it. Or a spot that was right down, which I think it was the Cleveland Diner, the Cleveland Corn Beef Cup. You right, that's what they was called. You right, and we used to. Then we'll be emotional eating days and nigga going there Like I'm fucked up. Can I get a double hamburger, two large fries? But listen, when you went to cause you got me hip to that spot Hamburger, two large fries. But listen, when you went there because you got me hip to that spot, you and Nessa got me hip to that spot you would go there.

Speaker 1:

First of all, you're going to get to know somebody, because it's tight. Yeah, whether you sit in a stand in there, it's tight. You're going to have to sit by a stranger. But it was good, bro, it was good. You and I were just talking a few days ago, man, my last time going there. It was a sign, just a handwritten on a piece of notebook paper, a sign like sorry, we're closed. Or you know, I'm kind of like, oh yeah, I'll come back tomorrow. Either we're going to rallies like I'm coming back tomorrow, I closed today. I'm going to catch y'all tomorrow. Might not go back again, bro, I'm talking prime hours bro, same sign up, sorry, we're closed. I'm like they mean they closed, closed, like that's that shit, like closed, somebody snatched the grill out there. I'm like, oh, I start looking in the window like any signs of life in it. Closed, closed, broke my heart. Yeah, no warning, no, nothing, because I feel like I was just there maybe two months before. Ain't nobody telling you yeah, we closing soon. Yeah, I feel like when you an establishment like that and people look forward to coming to you, you got to give your day one.

Speaker 1:

Customers and shit For sure. Man, like Dante's Restaurant over in. Where's Donna's Donna's right off the Berea Freeway, is it Berea? Yeah, that's Dante's the pizza spot. Dante's yeah, dante's. Dante the pizza spot. Dante the pizzeria. Yeah, dante's restaurant by the IAC Center. That's like Route 237, something over there. Yeah, you know they sold right. No, they sold to Sheetz. Sheetz across the street. No, that's Speedway across the street. So they sold to Sheetz $5 million. So I heard God, that's good eating $5 million. So I heard God, that's good eating $5 million. We talking about Dante and his family.

Speaker 1:

5 M's, free and clear. Now, I don't know how all the taxes and shit go when you're selling and shit. I don't know. I don't know Closing costs. I don't know Closing costs, but the 5 M's for Sheetz, sheetz taking over Sheetz is. So Sheetz is another place to go to on a late night, that's for sure. Nigga, get you a little frozen frappe, some shit, some Reese's Cups. I'm sorry, don, I didn't mean to put all your business out there like that, but that's what I heard. But it's public knowledge. If it's old, trust me, it's public knowledge, man. So some other Cleveland restaurants that are classic man.

Speaker 1:

When I would grow up, my mother would take us to Kim's Wings and back when we was growing up it was only one Kim's Wings location Yep, on St Clair, yep, yep, yep, yep. All down close to 152nd St Clair, that would be the only Kim's spot, and then we would get Open Pit, though, too Open Pit. What's the spot? We would get Hot Sauce Williams. I think they Angie's now. Oh, really, yeah, I think they Angie's now. When I was a kid man, we was heavy on High Sauce Williams.

Speaker 1:

It was a location right on Superior and Lakeview, like right where they intersect. That was a location right there by the dentist's office. We used to go to the dentist right there and it was a B&M's location on 105. Bruh we. And it was a B&M's location on 105. Mm-hmm Bruh we. Do walking distance. Walk up there, get a look. Oh my gosh, man, hold on the B&M's.

Speaker 1:

I believe on 105, I remember was across the street from like Lee Memorial Church or like not too far from Lee Memorial Church. It's like every corner. So I don't even know Especially on 105, it's like every corner. Church liquor store, church, liquor store, the mailbox Church, yeah, but yeah, man, we would go to B&M's Because you can go up, yale, like the little Yale, and hit it, man, because when we would come up from 71st that would be to take Yale down the little street. Yeah, you hit it straight through Boop, right there see the church, so there see the church. Um, so I'm trying to think what else was it? It was another open pit on like 124th and saint claire I.

Speaker 1:

I remember, man, I don't know if this was official business or what it's like an abandoned gas station, kind of adjacent to that bnm, and in the summertime, man, it'd just be hella dudes over there with big ass barrel pitch just selling ribs and chicken and rib tips and all kind of shit. Just at the abandoned gas station, like ain't no pumps, niggas pumping out these wings you know what I'm saying but just smoking shit. Aluminum foil and grills, hey, but niggas eating. And you just pull up like you getting gay, gay, but you're getting some food. Yo, no name, no, nothing. The gas station, just gray. Shout out to the creatives that made shit like that happen, man. Shout out to them I don't know if that was B&M doing that, I don't know if they had a permit, none of that shit, but it was station to be functioning. You know, black people don't really give a fuck about permits. Ain't too many police rolling through here and if they do, you give them something to eat. It's true, you want some of these ribs, you, on lunch break, these ribs. That's real shit Growing up.

Speaker 1:

I don't remember seeing too many police cars just patrolling. I don't Not too many. So I'll say this as I'm thinking about it now.

Speaker 1:

When I was a kid I remember seeing you remember the Hot Tamale man? Yeah for sure. So that was another thing when the Hot Tamale used to fuck. At first he would come through on the 114th. He would pull up, pop the trunk on you and he had that station wagon man. We saw the Hot Tamale man. He had like the mail truck. He had a face on the side of the truck was orange. Yeah, chuck was orange. But I remember him coming through the neighborhood and the police used to like not fuck with him. I want to say they fuck with him. But when he'd come through on sandy first sometime, first food truck, nigga would the police would stop him purposely but then and give him some food or he did cop something from him.

Speaker 1:

You know I'm saying or whatever, but I remember the hot tamale man coming through and I remember the police on sandy first used to park there and get catch the nigga truck and just be like hey man, he ain't never get stopped Like on some give him a ticket, as far as we know, but like nigga, just they show him love. You know what it is? Six tamales, bro. Six tamales, there you go Me, give me and Jose, hey, hey man, is that a? And a grape soda, what they call it Bribing, bribing, bribing the police with tamales. I mean, you know what? I didn't know that police, if they go into like speedway sheets or certain gas stations and stuff like that, they get free drinks.

Speaker 1:

Did I tell y'all a story when I thought that shit was free when I was a kid? Mm-mm, mm-mm. Self-serve was new. They just got hot dogs and you could just get the shit yourself. I thought at least at mcdonald's you had to ask for a cup. The cups just there straw. I thought it was complimentary, so I thought it was all about I might have told this story on the show before man. So I'm like 10.

Speaker 1:

We stopped there to get some gas over in Avon and I walk in like nobody need hot dog and drink man. I walk out with a Mountain Dew, cold red slushy and two hot dogs. I get in the car. My mama say where you get money from? I said I ain't got no money. She said you ain't paying for that. I just walked the fuck out. Anybody stop you or nothing? Not at all, not at all man. And then rest in peace to Jay man, my mother's ex-husband. He like, get this gas, get up out of here.

Speaker 1:

I was smashing shit out of my dogs, man, man, I just had to get my brother, get your brother, a piece Tax. Yeah, yeah, yeah, bro, tax, I can't eat. When I used to be driving a lot on the road, man, I used to stop at Speedway and get me like a piece of a hot dog or whatever, and when the hot dogs wouldn cooked all the way on the grill, that'd be like rubbery. Yeah, I gotta eat my hot dog. It's up to you to judge if this shit done or not. Y'all don't boil these bitches first. Yeah, don't give me no boiled ass, motherfucking hot dog, give me the burnt one. Then they got tamale. It's been a long time since I went and got like a hot dog on Speedway, but recently I their little wings. That was all right, that was all right.

Speaker 1:

Best hot dog I done had oh Paul's for sure Was at the Hot Dog Diner, and Parma as well. Oh man, hot Dog Diner, the Hot Dog Diner. You best to just eat your food in there. Yeah, because you're going to have to use the bathroom. But don't use the bathroom, don't you? Under old management, bathroom might have been bad. You know what I'm saying? Well, not might have been. I haven't been Under old management, the bathroom was terrible. So but keep in mind, okay, most places where you go to go get really good food especially like some takeouts type shit you can't even get the public use the. The public bathroom or the bathroom are already trash as fuck, the location, disgusting. So the food is most definitely probably good, but don't have delivering some evil health inspector coming, that motherfucking. You got germs floating around at 104 and they supposed to die at 105. But the hot dog down there, definitely good, man, I think the last one, hey, they Sprite was. You think McDonald's Sprite was good? Nigga, they Sprite was.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, lock it in. That shit was sharp. You worked in fast food. So you might know this. I didn't know, like with those carbonated drinks, like that with the machines, it's just like a, it's just fluid. It's like this motherfucker say Sprite or like whatever the fuck Sprite supposed to be. So the thing is, the thing is this it's about calibration. So when you reload he took him back to them days I do how I go. You know, when the coke run out, you got to know how to do it. Only a few folks in there knew how to do that shit. You had to be one of them niggas. Nobody. You had to be one of them, niggas. Nobody know how to work the motherfucking ice cream machine or fix that bitch. I happen to be one of them niggas. You know what I'm saying. I was very diverse in the McDonald's man Shout out to Bishop Road, but listen.

Speaker 1:

So when the pop comes, it comes in a box and it's a bag in the box, almost like a box of wine. Like the box of wine, like a bag inside with a little nozzle. It's of wine. Like the box wine, like a bag inside with a little nozzle. Um, it's straight syrup. You drink that shit, you're gonna die. This is the syrup for sprite. This is the syrup for coke, the syrup for the high seed lava burst, orange lava burst. It's just syrup. Don't drink that shit. Yeah, do not drink that shit. You pop the top off pop, hook it into the machine. At our McDonald's the machine was way in the back of the building but of course the pop traveling through the ceiling, 30 feet of fucking tube and more Two RTA buses worth of distance to the front of the store.

Speaker 1:

So then the calibration is like how much water goes into the syrup to give it the perfect balance of Sprite? Yeah, now, sometimes you would go to McDonald's or Burger King anywhere, say you get a Sprite. You're like this shit weak, this shit flat. The calibration is off. It's too much water going into the syrup, mcdonald's, I ain't complaining, but it ain't enough water going into that shit. That's why your shit woo, woo that Sprite, hitting boy, that's that. See, that Sprite. I had some ice peas, god damn, you know.

Speaker 1:

But uh, but at the hot dog diner, nigga that shit, you had jumper cable juice and that shit, they put fentanyl in. They shit, man, that shit, that shit, hip, nigga. You know, I like how many gulps of sprite can you take before you, man, the way that sprite used to taste. If I remember correctly, nigga, you only had had two or three before you got like a second or third degree burn on your fucking throat. Watch out, yeah, that that's probably was hot. Well, that's probably was hot and it was good. It was good, you know, not to the point where it's like man, this shit tastes like straight just syrup, I know. So it's about calibration when it comes to the subtle shit.

Speaker 1:

Man, nigga, I did not know none of that shit until, uh, maybe a couple years ago, anessa broke it down too. We went somewhere to eat and she took a little sip of the, just a little sip, like let me taste it. Oh no, it's flat, that's how I wanted it at. And you just kind of keep going through and she was like oh no, you got to hook the machine up, you got to do this and do that. And I seen it when I used to work in a nursing home years ago. Shout, all healthcare employees, caregivers, stnas, lpns, home health aides, rns, nurses, doctors, nurse practitioners, all you people who started out from band-aids wiping ass to now you writing prescriptions and all kinds of shit. Look at you with your ink pen yeah, slinging it.

Speaker 1:

But when I worked in a nursing home in dietary and I seen them hook up the pop machine, the root beer machine, the ginger ale machine. I'm like this shit, it's just in a bag. I didn't know like you got a name for it, but it's a flavor, it's just a flavor and you could probably get it from GFS. The GFSF truck, I think, delivered that shit. So learning it now, I was like hey man that. So learning it now, I was like hey man that right there made me stop or slow down drinking pop. Cause I'm like it's just, you can go get a Dr Pepper and it tastes like Dr Pepper, but it's the same. Sir.

Speaker 1:

Shout out to Mr Pibb. People be sleeping on that. Mr Pibb. Oh, that root beer. Nah, it ain't a root beer, cause I actually don't even like root root beer. It's like a Dr Pepper. It's Dr Pepper's baby cousin, oh, okay, or is it Dr Pibb? It's Mr Pibb. It's the one with the bulldog on the front. No, it's just the same, mr Pibb, ain't no mascot. Hold on, mr Pibb got. I know what you're talking about. They at a. It's a restaurant. You might find them at Speedway, not Not Subway Maybe, but I know the restaurant. They had a Jersey Mike's. Okay, mr Bibbs is at Jersey Mike's. They got a blue logo and they got like a cream soda. One of these niggas, man, it's like Mr Bibb, it's like Coke, dr Pepper, pepsi.

Speaker 1:

It's a dark pop. It's a dark pop. Yeah, it's a dark pop, but yo, that shit good, and I try to stay away From dark pop. Dark as I try to go Is this might not even be dark Nigga, like a ginger ale, y'all. We get the cranberry, blackberry ginger ale, the regular ginger ale. Drinking that shit Ain't even sick. Yeah, Stay, stay un-sick, stay well, man, what else do you find Yourself Drinking a lot More than just Like your pops? And you know like what else is on your freedom speakers, if you heard that that man just sat a water truck on top of the table, nah, man, this, this me man, I'll try to get a gal in the end of day.

Speaker 1:

Um, and I don't make it all the time, like you know, it got my little times on there, so it's 12 27, so I'm kind of ahead of the game today, today, but, but I'm trying to get the water in, bro, I'm trying to shed some pounds, for sure. I was talking to my wife. I mentioned to my wife a lot today, baby, but I was talking to her earlier Because I want to get my my protein shakes To help supplement Because I really don't eat breakfast, but I need something. This may not be healthy, I really don't know, but just by mistake, man, I end up eating like one meal a day, like whole meal. Yeah, yeah, most people call that. You know you fast into some form. I'm a person who eats one meal a day, but I catch me eating like two meals worth of one and one. You know what I'm saying? Real shit, real shit.

Speaker 1:

I went to two days in a row. I went to Chipotle two days in a row, yesterday and the day before Ate it all at once. Yeah, I don't think I didn't save shit. It might be a couple chips left. Yeah, that's it, if them bitches ain't super salty or stale. Yeah, they was mad salty, I salty. I went to the one right up here. You know the dave, dave chips a little salty. But the good thing is you can get some of that salt off. Put it on your driveway if you, if you feel like doing that shit, you gotta take the chip and dust some of that shit off.

Speaker 1:

But um, but yeah, water, man, water. Like I haven't been drinking since. I've been doing this whole water thing and it's been. I've had this for a while. I slowed down with the water, but now I'm back at it. Man, the juice lasts a lot longer in my house. So it'd be your ass tearing up the juice. Yeah, just because I'm not drinking it, because I'm one to go out Drink that, put it back in the refrigerator. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm one of the I'm the parent in the house I'll swig the juice. I'm not a real big juice drinker. Yeah, I'm not a real big. If I'm a tea drinker. I drink the fuck out of tea. I got tea in my browns cup right now.

Speaker 1:

People, um, and I just add a little bit of honey. I don't need no honey packs, just regular raw honey, regular degular honey. So for men, freedom speakers, the men, leave them fucking Gas station honey packs Alone. Nigga, you gonna blow your heart, please. You gonna blow your heart Trying to do a honey pack Popping a perc, being the blue chew, and then you trying to fuck Two, three bitches the same night. Then you're gonna, you're gonna fuck your heart up. Man, that is a lot. That's a lot of human body like, hey, nigga, you shouldn't be that young and your shit not working like you shouldn't. You shouldn't be like that man.

Speaker 1:

But speaking of speaking of working man, um, one of the things that we we talk about freely here on permission to speak freely podcast, is, you know, family man, businessman, entrepreneurship, and we also talk a lot about self-improvement man, research and development on ourselves, our crabs, things that we are finding ourselves that's coming across, our desk man, what is some R&D that you working on now? Some research and development? Tell me some things about you that you're out about yourself.

Speaker 1:

Spending habits I don't want to sound like a broken record, but that's like where I'm at. That's been my base for like the last like three months. Like, let's get these, let's get these finances where they need to be. You know I'm saying like and people be ashamed to say shit like that. You know I'm saying like, nigga, everybody ain't just got it fucking going on. You know I'm saying right, right, right, right. So even no matter which tax bracket you is, nigga, you'll find yourself in the, in the spot where you're like hey, wait, hold tight, hold tight, let's adjust a couple of things. You know what I mean. Let's stop doing this, let's do more of this or let's schedule this. You know what I'm saying family time, time with the kids shit costs money. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

So my r&d over I say like since fall hit, it's definitely been in the structure of finances in my home between my wife and I. For sure they need to need to keep the money organized, man, because that for some people, man, in some households, money start a lot of arguments. Oh, yeah, money start a lot. It's the number one cause of divorce is money, finances, really? Yeah, number one. So it's not cheating, no. The second one is sex, be it lack of sex or cheating, okay, yeah. What's the third? You know the third? I don't know. Okay. So, money and fucking. Yeah, okay, money and fucking, whether you not fucking each other or party one or party two fucking somebody else, and they probably got some money. Yeah, hopefully At least.

Speaker 1:

So I'll say that just a little bit on my research and development of myself. Just, I'll say that just a little bit on my research and development of myself. Just, you know, with myself I'm finding information that I'm giving, I'm pulling things from my own relationship and I want to pick up on something that you said a while back, man, and I'm finding this on the research and development, especially with some of my bros, or just seeing kind of how the men who are responding to us on the show and one is to you know, talk about a few things. Sure, they mentioned very much with you and I had to agree, like man, it's for us being men consciously like, hey, man, I want to work on certain things on myself, I want to be a better this, a better that, so on and so forth.

Speaker 1:

We normally are placed in the category of like, hey, man, you, uh, you a good dude, but you ain't a good dude, you ain't what she really want. So when you had mentioned like hey, some of the women don't want that guy that be on his shit, compared to the guy that is on his shit, he getting prime picking of whatever it is that he won't. So not being being on your shit and I and this is the research and development that I found and I agree being on your shit make put you negatively in a box because you know your worth, okay, you know, you know a level of your worth of like, hey, man, you can't make me feel like you know me or like you created me. So I've been finding myself with that of, like my bros, having conversations about the ladies that they talking to and dealing with, and even reminiscing about what myself, what my woman of, nigga, I was at one point in time, same shit, trying to please, please, please, nigga. I was at one point time, same shit, trying to please, please, please. Then, when I seen like this shit really wouldn't work and she didn't really give a fuck about, like the good guy, if you will, knowing most niggas put on the good guy act yeah, keep that in mind.

Speaker 1:

Freedom speakers, most men put on the good guy act because he wants to start out as the gentleman he needs to start out at the gentleman, depending on certain caliber of woman that he's dealing with. But bringing it full circle, I've had to see with siblings and family members and just people we counsel, like, hey, you, you could you tell me all the attributes this person got and you love them. But it's like, hey, it don't matter how great he is if he isn't him for you. Yeah, it don't matter what the fuck you do, yeah, it don't matter what the fuck you do. So I'm getting a seat at if like, hey, man, this guy is this, or this guy is that. Or even on the other end of the man who didn't he didn't put it, he didn't piece this self together. And now he out here trying to look and it's like, hey, he can't get no woman because she can't put no spell on him, so she can't make him feel like, hey, she created this or gave him this idea to bump him where he is. So I'll tell you this for a second man there's a nostalgic woman coming to me.

Speaker 1:

It ain't really like super nostalgic not too long ago, but me and nessa had a conversation in the car and it got a little spicy, but it it led to she hit you. No, no, not that time, not that time, but it led to just a question of do you who? Who level who up? He's like, hey, we, we together. Like do you feel like? You know, when we got together, I leveled you up or you level me up, and she was like, yeah, we left with each other. I'm like, no, oh shit, come on, man, it's not the fucking question. And when I mean level up is not just taking you from one location to the next, because that's just a tangible thing, that's a material thing, but level you up of hey, this person really changed your thinking. This person really brought you into a world or to something that exercised your ability to grow and you not just feeling stuck Like most people do.

Speaker 1:

Depression sets in when they don't see an end to the trend that they're in. One more time, put the niggas in the back. Depression sets in when you don't see an end To the trend that you're in. Okay, to finish it out, freedom speakers For the men Get you a woman that's into you, my nigga, who likes what you do, who will look clingy to you, who want to be up under you. Y'all gotta still make money, y'all gotta still Survive and do that shit, but you gotta be in your purpose for sure, for sure, for sure for and I gotta know to that about you know your purpose, man, but get you somebody that's into you, man. One is is uh is a little easier, you know a little easier somebody that's into you, you into them, compared to, like you said, you can lose yourself trying to please a motherfucker. So I say this as well, man.

Speaker 1:

One of the things that I've written down for myself is I need to be purpose-driven. My partner needs to be purpose-driven. If one of us is getting up every day on the level of responsibility, handling shit and getting shit done, and the other person just kind of dragging their feet, I feel like that's the definition of carrying somebody, that's the definition of carrying hold on. You're not even aware or even want to be a part of what's. You know what's going on, man. So I hear these things from my bros and they vent to me, and I hear them from people who are that counsel that I counsel of that relationship shit, and I pull from my own bro. Like, hey, I didn't been in that spot before. Me and Nessie have been together 14 years and I've had a previous relationship that I pulled things from.

You know what I'm saying For sure. Just, but having a value for myself, learning, having a purpose for myself and understanding like, hey, correction is necessary, that shit is necessary. It might always feel good, but it is so.

Speaker 1:

Man, you're talking to your woman and you're trying to get her to come on board and get shit understood of what you're trying to do. If she ain't cooperative, if she ain't compliant, maybe if she can't see the purpose, if she, man, this is all of those are flags to be like hey, man, I don't really think you into me like that or you ain't into this. You know, I'm saying I can't explain it to you any further anymore. Freedom speakers find you somebody that give a fuck about you.

Question, chief, what's up? How do you know Beginning stages of talking, dating? You know, however you want to put it, how do you know when a woman really cares about you? The smallest, small example that can happen is something where the light bulb may go off and you go Damn, she give a fuck about me. I would say, nigga. Her adjusting her schedule, like adjusting her schedule to be able to make time to see you, knowing how important her shit is, just knowing how important yours is, but her being able to say hey, you know, I wanted to see you. Can I come to your job? Like, oh yeah, shit, I'm working late, can I, you know, pull up on you? Or I'm here at a place, and she just like, hey, can I come to where you are?
