But I mean, so many people, especially, you know, back then, even the '80s were making, you know, you could watch shows where Al Bundy was a shoe salesman who had a stay-at-home wife, two-story house, three, you know, three bedroom house with a garage and all this stuff. So as a shoe salesman in Chicago. Meanwhile, James Evans was working two jobs and was living in the projects in the same city. What up, what up? What up? What up? What up? What up? What up? What up? What up is three brothers? No sense. You're a favorite barbershop style podcast. I'm Tavares Ferguson, a.k.a. fur joined my co-host, Buff and Razi fellas. What'd it do? What is it? Hit him with the left. Hit him with the right. Um, I don't follow the gamers out there, and especially the boxing lovers, the EA has announced that they are bringing back Fight Night. So all the boxing fans, I loved Fight Night when it was coming out. It was a great game. I'm excited for it. So shout out to EA, man. I think they're doing the right thing by bringing it back. I think they're trying to jump on that bandwagon of college football and how everybody kind of fell in love with that. We're able to sell men twice a year now, and eventually now, they're going to be able to throw a boxing game in there every year, too. So put a boxing lovers out there, go get it. Buff, I know you were looking at the other boxing game for a second. I don't even know if it ever came out. Did it ever actually release? I don't think it was ever coming out. They keep tweaking it and tweaking it. They'll show updates and people get excited and then you don't hear anything for a while. So I don't know what is coming out. Yeah. Did you say Madden comes out twice a year? Well, Madden comes out once a year, but now they, they, they discontinued college football. They used to call it NCAA and, and with the whole not being able to pay players, folks not being able to name, name, image, likeness and everything, they discontinued, they stopped using it. And so now was the first year it came back and it's essentially Madden again. But what they're doing is they're, they're dropping it off cycle. So it'll come out around the springtime and get you ready so then you can play, build your character up, you know, play through your four years of college or whatever, and you can transfer him to Madden and then play my player in Madden. And so it's, they're essentially, they're, they're, you know, you're going to buy Madden or buy a football game twice a year now for the folks who want college football and want Madden. So smart, smart move on their side. Other than that, man, I got two shows that came out and I think one of you guys are watching each one. So Penguin on HBO Max is the continuation of the Batman show with do from Twilight Sparkle or whatever it is. So the little sparkly vampire, what was that show or the movie, you know what I'm talking about? Twilight? Twilight, yeah, that's it Twilight. So the guy from Twilight played Batman. He knows the name people. He knows. Yeah. It's okay, sir. You'll, you'll got to like, wait, Twilight Sparkle is the unicorn or whatever, right? Okay. I was about to say, was there a vampire that sparkled or something? Well, yeah. That's what they did. When they got into sunlight, they sparkled instead of like kitchen on fire. Yeah. You know, wait. Spoiler alert. I'm sorry. Yeah. You know, way too much about Twilight to not know the name of Twilight. Hey, Twilight was actually a good series, man. I mean, it was, it was a movie. It was a movie. It was a series of movies. I mean, they're like six of them. So yeah. Yeah. So it was great. So back to what I was saying. Yeah. You know, you know how, you know, what they did, you know how many movies with the series, you just didn't know the name. I don't know. I'm not buying it, sir. I'm not buying it. Just say hey. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He became Batman in the movies with a knockoff real. I didn't really like the movie too much. Did the vampire become Batman? Well, the guy who played the vampire became bad. I'm just saying. Yeah. Yeah, it made sense now. So, but him, so they in the movie Colin Farrell plays the penguin and they did a spinoff show of the penguin called the penguin and it's actually really, really good. So if you, it reminds me a lot of like the sopranos meets Gotham. So if you like Gotham, if you like the sopranos, go watch it. It really has him. It's like a really grounded approach to Gotham villains and all of the mob and everything like that. And so he's like a mob boss or mob under boss trying to become the boss there. And so it's a, it's a really, really good take. It's only two episodes in right now, but go check that out if you haven't. The other one that I wanted to talk through is Agatha on Disney plus. And so I've been enjoying it. People have been saying that they don't like it. There's a lot of reports that saying it's not good. I like it. It's funny. It's funny. Yeah. Yeah. It's funny. Really, for the, the witches out there, the folks that are kind of into that, it's probably really, really good for them. Um, I, I, I enjoy it. I mean, it's, it's really good. I have a feeling my wife might be a witch at the watching this. I could see it. They start talking about, you know, astrology and moon spaces in the moon and we're watching the show. And they see, I know she's, she's googling stuff. So. Oh, yeah. If my wife becomes a witch, I blame you, Razi. I'm a lady in the room. That's what they were talking about. So I haven't blamed you in a while. So, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm surprised. Cause you know, it's, it's, it's. Yeah. It's a marvel. You're kind of doing that. Yeah. You just. Yeah. I didn't like Agatha on that show. She didn't do anything for me and Marvel isn't what it used to be. She's funnier now. She's, she's, she's funnier now. So. Yeah. And, and it's, it's a little bit different take on it. So it, it carries on the whole Scarlet Witch idea and everything. I, I think you'd like it actually, um, give it a try. I mean, it take it for what it's worth. I think that's the thing when people, they go into these, the Marvel stuff and they want the same thing with every show or every movie. It's like they want to action, right? Or they want the, the team boy, like dream of comic books. And, and I think what Marvel's trying to do is, it's just introduced different things, right? Think about Ant-Man and the Wasp. It was more of a comedy, that type of thing. I think this is more of a kind of sitcom type thing with, with, yeah, I think it's just a sitcom. That, that probably is the best way to put it. Yeah. Yeah, because if you're waiting on the big fight scenes and freakin aliens and blasts and all this kind of CGI stuff, you're not really going to get that much of that. But if you take it for what it is, it's, it's pretty good. It's almost to the point where you don't have to really follow Marvel or be into the MCU to appreciate it. It, it's kind of its own spin off. Yep. True. Yeah. It's definitely self-contained in there. Now we hyped it up. Buff's going to watch it. It's like, told you I didn't want to watch it. All right. All right. Yeah. So, but watch it if you want. I'm not trying to override it because I don't want to deal with this point. Exactly. The backlash. Got it. And finally, man, last thing I want to do, I just want to shout out whoever gave Angel Reese that one vote for rookie of the year, so that Caitlyn Clark wouldn't get a unanimous rookie of the year, shout out to you, man, I, I, I just, you know, I'm glad she wasn't unanimous, but she probably should have been Caitlyn Clark definitely was rookie of the year. But, you know, we, we got for the culture. I'm pretty sure whoever that was was like, I'm just saying, like, I hate doesn't look good on your eyes. I'm not even at all. I'm just saying. You're definitely hate. I'm for the culture. I'm glad somebody mess it up even though she deserved it. You know, it's kind of like that's kind of definition, you know, I, you know, I, I probably would have had something to say had, you know, it been that was the swing vote type thing. It literally was like unanimous except for this one vote. It's like in Congress, but when they go and they find the Republicans that like, you know, we're going to vote for it. And so they get just enough. And so all the Republicans could be like, no, I'm super against this. No one that they, they really want to whatever the past. It's just like that. It's the showmanship of it all. Exactly. I hate. That's it, man. That's all I got. Good stuff. I'm glad you didn't mention the vice president to debate. I know that was going to be your thing. We just had that yesterday. Some people were a little disappointed in Governor Tim Walz. Some people felt like he did good and some people felt like Senator Vance came across more likable than he has been, I guess, poll tested in recent weeks and months since he's been the vice president nominee. I'm going to just say this. The Bates can be civil. I forgot the Bates can be civil. Those two gentlemen were up there saying I agree with you on that. I agree with you on that. I actually agree with you on that. And it was civil. Like they had their moments where they took their shots. They had their moments where it got tested, which is to be expected. But it looked like two adults that were debating that disagreed on the top on issues and were debating and talking it out so that we can decide who we like more. It wasn't a whole bunch of name calling and ridiculous rhetoric. Of course, there were lies told. Offside. Of course. Of course, there were lies told, but it was largely civil. And for me, because I don't really get anything out of the Bates for real, like it's really difficult to explain a policy that affects millions of people in two minutes. But I thought it was moderated fairly well. And just their energy towards one another was kind of like, oh man, that's what America used to be where two sides disagreed with one another. Back at the end of the day, they could shake hands and find some commonality and other things. So that much, I really appreciated that. Even at the end where they were saying after the debate, they went in, they talked after the debate. Yeah. You saw my wife. Here's my wife. Yeah. You forget what politics, I guess, should be right now, I'll go and go and go and go. And the other thing about it is Vance gained, I think he's scarier than I thought he was. Even if Trump doesn't win this, Vance has put his name in the political pet. He had a pretty damn good showing, even though he spewed a lot of rhetoric, he kept his calm to the point where, well, ish compared to what we've seen recently. I will say, I will say though, Tim Walsh is a very bad debater and that let him do that, right? Like Tim didn't challenge him. Tim, like, if he goes up against another good debater, a Chris Christie or somebody like that, it's going to be hard for him to look like that after a debate if he goes against somebody that actually really is really, really good at debating. So, I didn't think Walsh did, I didn't think Walsh did terribly. He didn't give what the left wanted. The left wanted him to destroy Vance, and he didn't do that, but I thought he did well in a lot of errors. I thought he did great. Unfortunately, it was towards the end, but I thought he did great on the whole January 6th, and he kind of put Senator Vance on the spot, like, did Trump win the election. I thought he had some good moments, unfortunately, they can't. It took him a while to get going, like, it took a while for his offense to get, since he likes to use football terms all the time, it took, it took a while for his offense to get going. They had to, they had to figure out the blitzes, they had to figure out some block and scale. Yeah, yeah. And then once the offense got settled, he did okay, but he didn't, like, people, like, there are people that just do not like Vance, and they were looking for him to, like, just, you know what I mean? And he didn't do that. Yeah. I feel like people wanted to complete the picture of the crazy ticket. You have Trump, who is irrational. Vance has had moments where he's just been, I think the word is weird, right? And so if you can put, if you could have, what Trump did, he commented exactly what she needed to do, she showed, she got out of his skin and unraveled it. And if they were to do it with Vance, that's what they wanted to do, it's like, look, this is your ticket. Because she was even kind of like, look at what you're looking. Look at this guy. He's spiraling. And if they were to got Vance's spiral with all the stuff that's going, I was hoping that they really did that because I'm like, with all this going on, with national security, with like foreign affairs, this, you need somebody who's level headed and neither one of these candidates showed that, this is why you need to vote for me, because they're talking about, you know, foreign policy right now in Israel and all this stuff going on. You take these two duckleheads who are level headed, then you put them in the White House. What do you think's going to happen? Vance showed somewhat control, more control than I expected in the show. He did. But what the like, just being the proponent of the democratic ticket, right? Just be honest about who I am there, right? It's walls wasn't, he allowed JD to lie and be that level headed person when we know that's not him. That's, I think, you know, that you talk about getting under his skin, but I don't, I don't even think he needed to get under his skin. He just needed to not let him completely lie and say things like Trump, you know, helped the ACA succeed. What 60 times you tried to overturn it, you tried to cut the budget to zero on it. He didn't let it marketing happen for it. Let's not act like you went in there. You saved Obamacare, right? Like, there were blatant lies that walls just kind of let go. And I think that was a little bit of him just being overprepared, him thinking about his lines and making sure that he hit all the things that everybody said he had to do, that he wasn't really trying to respond to a lot. He was like, okay, the question is, and I got to get my lines out. But that's what I mean by a really good debater wouldn't have let that happen, right? A debater would have said, as soon as he brought up that, oh, you did this with Obamacare, they would have hit him hard on it, even if it was quickly, and make sure that the audience knew that, no, you're lying. Now let me tell you my thing, Tim didn't do that. Tim let those lies sit and fester for a little while to where maybe even if he did come back later on and try to address them, it was a little too late. They show empathy towards one another when Governor Walsh mentioned his son witnessing a shooting at events. He expressed empathy towards that. You can say that's a low bar, but I'm just saying the last nine years, I haven't seen a lot of that. I feel overall going back to football, but going back to football, Walsh did a lot of checkdowns, he got you some first downs, but he had the deep, he had the deep posts that could have went for a touchdown and he didn't, he didn't throw it. He just, he checked down to the running back to the tight end, you know, but, you know, I don't think, and I've read some numbers where his positives still increased and like Vance was the one that needed the most positive increase and the fact that Walsh positives went up, it didn't do Vance, like the net gain was not there like you can't be. So, what's who happens? Yeah, Vance was, I guess Vance has made a bigger name for himself anywhere. He's more polarizing. Like he had no where, he had no where to go, but up. Right. Yes. Yeah. And Walsh, I think Walls for a lot of the, for the most part, kind of introduced himself to a lot of Americans. And you really don't have anything negative to say about him. Like, hey, maybe he's not as polished, which a lot of Americans aren't, right? He might even seem to come off a little more relatable, especially coming from his blue collar, his, his background, he doesn't sound like a polished politician. And I also say this, I gotta be, gotta be careful exactly what I say, but it was kind of disappointing and on the front end, I will say you can, you can call me on and say that's just liberal bias. I thought it was a little disappointing for them to try to like hold him accountable for exactly when he was in China. What was it? Way back in 1989. 1989. Right. I think he was off by a few months. I mean, and can you enlighten me on why, why was that important? So I guess he was saying he was there doing some, the Tiananmen Square. Yeah. Yeah. So if you remember Tiananmen Square, they were protesting and that's where they were laying down in front of the tanks and all of that stuff, right? He said that he was there during that. And the problem was that that happened in the spring, he didn't get there until the fall. So he was there during the, the protests, like when it were still, it's like Black Lives Matter, right? We had a bunch of like really big protests, but it, it continued for months and months after that we were still having rallies and protests and everything. He was there during the, I guess the democratic anti or the anti communist democratic protests. He just wasn't there for actual Tiananmen Square and, but, and that's what the politicians do a lot of times, right? They try to simplify for the people, right? I can't talk about nuance. I can't get into everything in two minutes, right? For a sound bite, he's like, yeah, I was there when, you know, during Tiananmen Square trying to say I was there during the protests. Now, I don't know if he actually was trying to say I was there trying to get people to believe he was there or not, but I, I, I give folks leeway a little bit in that impolitence because what they do is they're just trying to say, generally, if you understand, I was there during that time. I, and I guess they're trying to build a narrative of him saying that he carried certain weapons in war when he never went to war and then you add, you add that in and then you add in him leaving the National Guard right before they got deployed. I think they're just trying to add a narrative of, hey, this guy is not, he has a, I guess, like, a problem with the truth at times, he misspeaks and maybe that's what they were building upon, but you had, maybe I shouldn't say this because I don't, he's a, he's still a sitting senator. I'll just say this. I don't mind them doing that to him if they're got to do it to the other candidate too. There is things that he's pointed out and blank, put like this. There are things he's pointed out that was blamed on immigrants that had nothing to do with immigrants. That's all I say. Yeah. Oh, wait, we said we weren't going to fact check fart. Yeah, man. The only other thing I got is God is good all the time and all the time, God, good. I just want to give a shout out to Pastor Project Pat. Apparently, he has been preaching and spreading the gospel for a while now, he's been going to prisons, community centers and churches and preaching. So he has went from, don't save us. You don't want to be saved to maybe we can save her. So that's, that's just, that's, that's cool to see, man, Mr, Mr. Don't play, you know, chicken head, you know, I like it. I like it. I wouldn't mind. I'm at the YouTube to see if I can find one of his sermons that they're available. And just go ahead and find out what you got, what you got, the funny videos are already out. Yeah, it's already him. There was one I saw where he was preaching with that, uh, that Pastor Troy, that Pastor Troy, Project Pat beat and all that stuff. I mean, very simple. I was like a roller and then they, they did use don't save her as a, uh, a and B selection. Cool. Cool. So that's fine. That's all I got. Other than we doing our thing on TikTok, we've, I call the flag from a couple of people on my take on, um, the evolution of marriage and how I'd like to see, uh, if a Harrison administration is elected, how I'd like to see them increase the incentive of being married. And some people is like, that's, that's forcing people to get married. That's, that's anti single and I'm like, how's that anti single? I mean, homeowners get homeowners credit. That's not anti renters. So, but anyway, I said all this is not about me. I said, I'd just say, follow us on social media. We're doing our thing on TikTok, you guys, most, most of the listeners know we're already on Facebook. You guys, the interaction on there has been great one Instagram, three buttons, no sense. Check us out. Yeah. It's funny. You say that because anytime there's some kind of political initiative or something, it seems like most people want everything to directly affect and by effect, I mean, benefit them. You know, I remember when the stimulus check was coming out and there were so many people pissed. They weren't going to stimulus check. But my bad, man, you made too much money, like it's, you know, that whatever this check was, I don't, um, I'm sorry, you make $250,000 a year and you're not going to get this $3,000 or $4,000 whenever it is, uh, the student loan repayment. Man, I didn't have to stake out student loan. So I should get something like, dude, there's people struggling that had to take out student loan. That's the only way they got through college. You didn't have to worry about, you know how financially stressing it is to have to worry about student loans, financial aid, paying for college, getting a job and all that stuff. You didn't have to deal with it. You're blessed. You have a great job. And it was just, it's funny. Even, you know, um, I can go on and on about all the way. You got that. What about me attitude? What about me? What about me? You know, I want to hit on some high notes, well, start off with a high note. Have you guys seen "Transformer 1"? Yes. You remember, I saw it, I saw it the week before it came out. So yeah, it's so good, man. That, that movie is awesome. I will say probably the best movie in the Transformers universe so far, it's the best Transformers movie. It really is. I don't know if that, the storyline was lore, like if it follows the, the whole, the whole Transformers universe or they kind of made their own spin on it, but it was really interesting how they presented it. I didn't know any of that. I don't know, Razi, you're more of a manga nerd than me. Is that the, is that the norm? Is that a known storyline? Yeah, so it's generally there. They took liberties with some of it or whatever, but yeah, that's generally, it came from the comic books and so IDW and Marvel both have runs and so they pull from kind of both of them a little bit, but generally, yes, that's how Megatron and Optimus Prime kind of came up and all of that. So it's, it's so cool to see. I've seen articles where they talk about this solve one of the biggest problems we've had with the move, the transformer movies since generally the first actual animated movie. It's like, they concentrated on the Transformers, right, instead of on the humans and how they're interacting with the Transformers and stuff like that. And so just seeing all that, you got to see all the cool transformations and all of that and the interplay there, seeing how Starscream kind of, just I don't want to spoil if anybody, but yes, all of it, you get to even the cameos of the Transformers. So anybody who like, just really liked the Transformers from back in the day, just be like, you get a glimpse of jazz or the, a glimpse of, you know, Ironhide and, and so you don't even think about it, but it's like, boom, they're gone. So love it. The random day got the go-bots. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if you picked up, so it was, it was a good, it was a good movie. I was really, I took the family to see it and I don't know, man, I don't remember going to the movies as that much as a family growing up, but ain't no way movies were as that expensive back then. They, they were, they were, I mean, they were about five dollars. I mean, cause you got everything, when we were back in the day, it was, it was, we had the dollar movie and that was the cheap movie, right? But if you went to like, let's go, let's go to, let's go to, let's go to, let's go to, let's go to, let's go to. Five dollars, five dollars, twenty, two, twenty three years ago, twenty five years ago, with inflation is about twelve dollars, thirteen dollars today. So that's what you pay for in the movie. Food, food, food. It was almost the same. I mean, you think about it. You pay five dollars for the movie and they, our parents probably pay three to five dollars for some popcorn there and today it's about the same. It's about seven to eight dollars for a popcorn, twelve dollars for a combo, right? With the soda and the, the thing, it's about the same. Yeah, the dollar movie prices, twelve dollars for popcorn, soda and, no, it's almost one dollar. Really? That's, that's what I pay for. If you get a large popcorn, what we do is we get a large popcorn, a large soda. Everybody shares the popcorn, so we only get one, the kids share their soda. And I, I get something different or they get ices and I'll, I'll have the soda and that be it. And maybe we, because the movie theaters and now it's. Did y'all do like the dining ones where they bring you to food and y'all, y'all had like the pizzas and all that. That's, that's, that's why so expensive. Better go to dinner before you get out there. That's, that's more expensive right there, bro. Yeah. I mean, because it's like, if you're going to, I got to feed them before I take them to the movie and they going to eat it again anyway, you know, they going to want to eat popcorn and all this stuff. So. And it's going to be better. I just, y'all going to have pizza or popcorn and candy. That's going to be y'all dinner tonight. So that's a really good movie and just going to take a second to just pray for the victims of the, the last hurricane. Yeah. Yeah, Elena, Elena, it, it was devastating. I just don't remember in recent history, the death toll being that bad in the US. It's over 200 now and it seems like it just went across the whole southeast. It just really devastated. I know it came through Florida and I know people are all in Georgia and South Carolina. And I think even parts of North Carolina are, were affected and especially in Georgia, the death toll is staggering and I know people out in Augusta and places like that right now trying to help get their life back together and the death toll keeps going up. When I checked this morning, it was like 150 and last I checked it was over 200. So my heart goes out to the families of the, the loved ones that the families that lost loved ones and, you know, hopefully you're, you're grieving period, especially once all of this gets back to normal and that's another part of it just trying to grieve loved ones and loss when you don't have power in your homes destroyed. It's just, I don't know, man, I don't remember all this stuff happening when we were kids like this. This is just, I mean, it's climate change, right? But you have to think hurricane Sandy. I think that was like over 200, right? We can't ignore Katrina, right? The death toll there, like in the last 15, 20 years we've had major hurricanes that have had that death toll like that and it is, it's happening more and more often. And so while go back to the debate, JD Vance was saying, well, me and Trump want clean water and clean air. It's not about just clean water and clean air, right? It is 100% about climate change and weather is not climate change, folks. So don't, you can't look at, oh, well, it's still hot out or it's snowed and climate is very different than weather. So weather patterns are just normal day to day. Climate is an actual like average of what's happening there. When you look at the average temperatures, the average days that is hotter days is cold. Those things are different and that's what's causing all of these hurricanes, tornadoes and things like that. So climate change is real for anybody who's listening that made doubt it. And with that, we have to try to do something about it and drill a baby drill is not how we do it. It is now the deadliest hurricane since Katrina, man, Katrina almost took 1400 lives. Yeah. Yeah. And I think, I think what was special, well, and not comparing by any means, Katrina was just like in this, for the most part, because I mean, it did deficit the Gulf Coast, but it was so impactful and in that New Orleans area, right? So we kind of focus our energy on New Orleans. You know, here you're like Tallahassee, Perry, Perry, Florida, Augusta, Atlanta, like it was so many, it's, it's so spread out. It's just, I think that's what's so big to me is how much the path of destruction, I guess. Yeah. And then you had Hurricane Rita, like a month later. Mm-hmm. It was crazy. That was a crazy summer, man. Yeah. Yeah. But don't want to continue about the weather and beating you guys down too much. Let's go ahead and jump into it. There's Sophia around. She is. She'll, she'll pep us back up. Hold on one second. This episode is brought to you by Atlassian.

Only when they say "Purtado." No one ever said "Purtado." This whole way. I mean, I just heard you say it, but I'm just, yeah. That's only for the, what's it called? The thing I use, the catchphrase. Yeah. It's a game. All right. How do you find a cheetah at night? Use a spotlight. A new spot. A new spot was in it somewhere. I'm not letting you guys get this ever again. Not for last time.

Oh, this episode is bought to you guys by Arby's. They have the meat. All right. Who wants to go first? I don't know how y'all have a question, but I don't know how y'all want to do it. I think mine to be quick. OK. I actually mean it. I actually mean it. Yeah. All right. Let's see. And ever since we argued about the teacher fighting the girl who was trying to get a cell phone back from her, and I was just wondering, and I reason I think this question is quick, because I think it's pretty easy. Yes. Do you think we need teacher camps? You think we need cameras in all classrooms so that we can go back because like with that argument we had, we only got whatever student decided to film. We only got whatever they started to film, like with cameras in the classroom, we can actually see the very beginning and not just get a snippet of these conflicts with students and teachers. So would you guys be for cameras and classrooms? Why and why not? I think I would. I don't I don't see a reason why. There should be an issue with recording, I think we would need almost like with police cameras, right? It's like, hey, what is our retention policy, you know, who has access to the recordings, who can get to it, right? I think there need to be some some policies around it, but I think it would really be a good idea, especially when you talk about maybe in high school, late middle school, that type of thing. I don't know if we need them in elementary schools, right? But maybe, right? There's times where kids are like, the teacher punched me or the teacher hit me and you know, so I think even in elementary it might work. But I think it would be good to have it and, you know, every week, it deletes or whatever, we hold it for seven days. So if we don't have a complaint or anything within that time, then it gives it it's overridden that type of thing. But I think it will work. Sure, why not, not for the reason you would probably think considering I'm married to a teacher, I think so often we're trying to protect the students and it's usually 20 to 30 to one in a classroom. I think it protects both. Yeah, I think a lot of people think the police cameras to protect the individual, but it's to protect the cop too, so they can say what happened to me, happened to me. Now, now, I think the challenge is in this situation, I think unlike the cops, there's not much teachers can do to protect themselves. I feel like teachers are usually considered wrong. Maybe I'm biased, but usually like if that girl hit her and the teacher steal, if the girl truly initiated and the teacher did her in, well, she's a child, you all, they always kind of throw the fact that this is a minor in that defense. But I liken it to having a not only a teacher camp, but a classroom camp like both of my kids with the daycare, I was able to log in and just look at my students, my kids. And so when it's like, well, my son don't do that. I'm glad you said that. Play the footage. It shows right then and they can send you the clip of, you know, Byron, well, Byron was very disrespectful. And he told me, well, you had to do something. I'm glad you said that. Let me, let me send that to you. Let me send you the clip, right? And it's, it's, and maybe after so many clips, it, it, now there's legal action, corrective action that the teachers or the school can take because when the kids are sitting in the class, I feel like they don't care because they know you don't have the time or you can't prove or whatever the case may be because all our kids are great kids. And so you look at them on cameras like, oh, really? That's what you're doing. That's how you're acting in school. You know, I can imagine that Jasmine is a model student, but if God forbid, if she got on camera and tabs on her acting, that would be the last time that Jasmine had a teacher had a problem out of Jasmine. You know, like when really, because when you tell them something, it's, you're trying to make it and you talk to your kids and they're going to tell you their version of the story and all that stuff, ain't no version of the story. Here's the story right here and there. You can play it, you know, and it's the evolution of time. I think, you know, people, we, we so often want to keep, well, we didn't have that when we were growing up. So it doesn't matter that we didn't have it when we were growing up. We didn't have cell phones. We were growing up. Like, you know, it didn't matter. We also didn't need it until certain point, I said we were better. It's the fact that there was more liberty to correct kids back then. There were harsher penalties to kids. I remember being on class and seeing, uh, man, I forgot to coach that his name. I saw coach slam a kid. There was two fights. Two kids were fighting. The coach just slammed the shit out of a slam. The girls fight like it was when you did something, you got the, you, you, you paid for it. I grew up in Texas and as far as I remember, maybe into like fifth grade, like they were still paddling kids, right? So we, we were, they were moved paddling out of schools. And then there was like this period where we kind of still remembered or our parents or parents can still correct us. Our parents, you know, your mama could maybe a teacher can beat you, but, you know, hazel will knock you out when you got home. Like there was something that could happen. We were the kids that were kind of the beginning of, I'm a call CPS and all this stuff. And that was a joke, a running joke. I don't know anybody. I don't anybody that calls CPS on their parents while we were growing up, even though they probably should have called on some of the parents. I know a couple, but they, those were ones that they should have called CPS on them. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Like they should have called, but we got so far from that where these kids don't fear the teachers or respect the teachers, barely respect their parents. So there has to be some kind of checks and balances because these teachers are in danger. You know, my wife teaches a kid can get on her and jump in her face and record the end of it and all the stuff. And even even if she's defending herself, God forbid something like that happened. I want that kid to be prosecuted to the extent of the law, whatever, whatever the crime is, if they put their hands on white, because a lot of times to your point, the camera has come out very late in the interaction. And so a lot of times you're like, that teacher shouldn't have done that. And it's like, well, you don't know if that teacher tried to deescalate for the last five, 10 minutes and the cameras came out as it was escalating and all they caught was the teacher slamming the kid, but they don't see the part where they, they try to move around the camera, the, you know, the room, they're trying to avoid them. They're saying back up, all of that, that doesn't make it to the camera. And so now it's the teachers, you know, their words or their version versus what you see on the camera. And it's very hard to go against what's on that camera. And they would have to have a committee. It would have to be made up of PTA and faculty to make sure that they were, it would be oversight committee, right, where footage has to be lasted so long. And I would think to a point where when I used to be in management, even with ZT, I'd say, introduce a paperwork in their life, introduce a video in their life, like be able to save timestamps of this day and document it. So if something does happen, here are the four cases in the last two weeks where we had to deal with Orazio, right? He got in my face this day or and teachers can have that same thing where you give the students a liberty to say, Hey, because I don't want it just to be a one sided thing. It's, Hey, I had a problem with my teacher. This is what happened and you can submit for that footage or, you know, you have access to that footage for a certain amount of time as well and you bring it up between the oversight committee. And it's like, Hey, how does this add up? I mean, it's taxpayer dollars and all that stuff, but I'm with it because these teachers are giving up. I see nothing but upside and not just for, you know, what you guys mentioned with potential fights between students and teachers, but there was a guy that went viral earlier this year for letting his middle school student like Brady's hair. And people were saying that that was, you know, inappropriate. And so I think, you know, it could, it could probably be good at catching the pattern of teachers that are like having inappropriate interactions with their students. We make and learn from some of these school shootings. Like when a student brings a gun and decides to shoot up his class, we make and learn more about the behavior that you can look for right before, like, who knows, I just see nothing but upside from it. And I think it protects the student and it protects the teacher because, you know, people are inclined to believe students at times and the teacher can say, no, this is what happened. This is why I had to knock his ass out and roll the tape, you know what I mean? So I see number upside forward and that's why I thought it'd be a quick question. So I think we're all in agreement. Yeah. Roll that beautiful bean footage. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Cool. I'll jump in. If you don't mind fart, did you want to go? All right, because, you know, I want to start with folks, stop, stop going to the stores and take like buying up all the toilet paper and the water and all of that, like one toilet paper doesn't cover overseas for the most part, it usually is made here in the country. So you ain't have to worry about that. But I say that to say you guys know that there was a longshoreman strike and that is over now already. I think what three days in or two days in, they have a resolution or whatever they're supposed to be back in. So by the time this drops, the doors, the docks will be open and everything will be flown again. So y'all went out there, got all that toilet paper for nothing. But even with that, I want to ask you, I saw a lot of discussions about longshoreman and those folks make a bunch of money already. That's why I don't like unions. It don't make no sense that they're, you know, striking when they already make over a hundred thousand, sometimes two hundred thousand dollars yada yada yada yada. So I wanted to get you guys opinions on unionization. Is it still needed or warranted? And why? Yes, there is no company in the history of companies that have made work conditions because it's not unions are not just about pay. That's a big part of it. But a lot of times it's about work conditions and things like that. There's a reason why not just women, but fathers also, but that we're able to spend time with our kids after you have a new kid. There's a reason why, you know, you can start accruing overtime at the work in a certain amount of hours, like, there's a reason why jobs have to provide a relatively safe environment in order for you to do your job. Companies are about the bottom line and I don't want to paint them as evil. But at the end of the day, they're there to make money. And so I can't think of it, maybe maybe there's one or two exceptions, but I'm just going to go out on the limb and say, there is no history of a company making conditions better for workers without them striking or having a union negotiating the terms with the threat of having a strike. You need it, I think, to a certain extent, you will always need them because if not, companies will always try and get over it. It doesn't happen overnight. There are companies now that don't have unions. I think Amazon just allowed unions if I'm not mistaken. But they start eating away little by little until, you know, you don't feel like you have a choice. I'm four unions. As far as people thinking they make too much money, yeah, that people always think that about other jobs, no one ever says I make too much money. Everybody thinks that about everybody else's job, so yeah, cut it out, man. Right. I mixed emotions. I've never had a job that had a belong to a union. But I don't know if it's because of the industries I'm in or the positions. And maybe there are unions in other parts of the company. You know, maybe like some of the factory worker, I don't know, right? I never, the closest thing I remember is when I worked for Enterprise, there was a, there was a talk that they were trying to bring the union and they were, there was union busters. There was people trying to watch out for the union before it came in. But I do think they're, they're, it's necessary. It's necessary. It has brought about change, definitely brought about change. My only concern is when sometimes unions have, they have a lot of power and it's can be misused. Let's go back to, we talked about this, this, this show all the time. Let's go back to the dots of Baltimore as a second, what I thought about season two. Yeah. And the wire and it shows how it's not almost political, it becomes political, right? Yeah. Where it's, you're, you're taking people and they found the ends and outs of the union and the power behind the union and they're leveraging to their own personal gains. And that's where I'm like, so even with this, pay raise definitely is the pay raise. They want reasonable for the job and the training and the skills that I don't know. I don't know exactly what they do, but it's the unions asking for something and it's almost we're beholden to agree to it or give them similar terms just because there's power numbers. Like it's it, you know, every, the same way you said everybody, nobody says they make too much money, but I think we're going to agree that everybody doesn't deserve to make certain amount. Like it's like, hey, there's a pay range for this. There's a skill set. There's a demand for this. I don't know what that is for longshoreman. I'm not saying, hey, you shouldn't make more than, you know, I think they were saying on average, we're making maybe $40 an hour. I don't know if that is a reasonable rate. I don't know if $60 a rate is a reasonable rate. Last thing I've seen so many different numbers anywhere between asking for 50 to 70 something percent pay increase, you know, making and then that's base, right? We're not talking overtime and all that stuff and incremental pay raises. I don't know if making $200,000 or $250,000 is reasonable for that because then somebody's got to pay and it's going to the cost of those builds up and all this stuff and all the reason they can do that is because of the power of the union, like there's not a union to dictate inflation because they're somebody has to pay it. Somehow it's going to the cost is going to be offset. So I don't know. According to the Wall Street Journal, they make about $52.85 an hour. So 52. And they're asking for I think a $5 raises with the, which comes, no, it was it's more than that. From what I understood. So the overtime worker makes about $233,000 a year. Yeah. And this is before the pay raise, right? Right. Yes. And they wanted to five. I think they, I think they settled their, their agreement is a $5 an hour raise on that or it's $4, $4 an hour. So $4, $4. Yeah. So $4. Yeah. So $230,000 a year on average, right? Mm hmm. Yeah, $4, so $4 an hour times 40. I mean, it's not a lot, you know, but it's, and the union was willing to do this. And I think a lot of it, and I almost feel like part of the union is they get a kickback of any, um, pay raises and all this stuff. So a lot of times it's not a benevolent job thing is like, we didn't do this just because we feel like, you know, a buyer, you work hard. And I just see what you're doing for your family that that $230,000 a year is just not enough. So I'm going to get you $234,000 a year, right? Mm hmm. Because it's really, it's, it's really $4 an hour, $5 an hour, it's about $8,000 a year. It's about $8,000. So they're willing to shut down the ports, shut down the way the comfort, the infrastructure, the company country for $8,000 per person. But I'm saying it's, it's not because of Razi, it's because, well, at 8,000 times, how many workers, there's some kind of kickback they're getting for that pay raise. And keep in mind that's every year for the next six years. Yeah. So it's a $4 is a $4 raise, 20, 25, four more dollars, 20, 26, 20, 27, 20, 28, 30, and maybe your union dues, um, but I don't know if union dues or union fees, whatever they call it. So the percentage of your, your, your payers in a flat rate, we have a flat rate. So yeah, usually it's a flat rate that the union decides on, like the union members decide on that rate. They usually vote on it annually. But what I'll tell you is a lot of times you might be like, Oh, well, 200,000, whatever is too much. A lot of times what they're fighting for is, is to keep up with inflation and say, I want to be able to live generally how I lived 15, 20, 25 years ago, long story, everybody wants that. Guess what? As a union, we can make sure we can force it. Um, that that's what unions do, like, and so so many people complain about wages haven't kept up with inflation, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, guess what unionized people's wages generally do. And that's so you can't be mad because you don't want to unionize or you hate unions, but that's what unions do. They keep up the people that are working in those unions are able to keep up with inflation and fight for that. Companies don't get to just make record breaking profits and their employees don't get a part of that. They don't get to give it all to the, uh, the shareholders and all the employees get help with, you know, get, end up holding what a one and a half, two percent raise a year, which is, you know, corporate standard to maybe three percent on the high end is an average. So when we, when we say four dollars, four dollars an hour is, it's like a six, seven percent raise for them. It's a little high, but it's not super crazy. So when people say, oh, we're getting four dollars an hour, it's, it's, it's the average raise. It's a little bit higher than the average raise in corporate America. So they're again, and when you look at inflation is about two and a half, three percent, almost four percent, they're saying we want the raise to be able to keep up with inflation. So I, I'm not going to fight the, whatever they negotiate, I don't know, because obviously whoever, whoever's on the other side of that, they felt like it was okay. I mean, they came to the table and they had an agreement within a day and a half, right? So they like, okay, we can, we can absorb that somehow. So and also most unions actually have access to the books too. So when people will be like, oh, well, they're asking for so much money, they know how much the company's making, uh, unions don't want their company to go under. Unions aren't like, I'm just going to break it. I mean, sometimes that like they've seen that in the past where unions have gone too far and it actually caused the company to go bankrupt. So I think unions have gotten smarter about that. They're not trying to do that. They want their jobs. So they're just trying to make sure that they get an equal, equal part of the, the profit pie. I don't blame them. So to answer my question, um, you know, I, I think unions are fine. Um, I don't think every, every job needs a union. I think companies have to be smart about it, right? I don't agree with union busting, but what I do agree with, I mean, putting on my HR hat, right, is being able to say we pay you well, we give you these benefits. You get all this stuff. You don't need to unionize. Um, and so, you know, I've, I've seen where they have employee feedback loops and somehow like, you know, advocacy groups and all of that and like, Hey, come tell us if it's not working, trying to kind of stem off the need for a union. Um, but, you know, if, if the workers aren't feeling like the company is hearing them and they're not giving them what they need, I feel like a union is perfectly fine to unionize and get what you need from that company. And it's not surprising that you saw a lot of the comments you saw because we see this with sports and athletes all the time. People think athletes are always overpaid and they, they amazingly side with the owners who make way more than the athletes, but for whatever reason, people who side with the owners and say the players are overpaid when all the owners doing this sitting in the box. A great lighting. I can understand that. Let me, let me put a spin on it. Take the same long short-term position. If there wasn't a union, do you think they would make $200,000? And if they didn't make $200,000, let's say they made the 80, 90 that I think we were looking at when we said $40 an hour, whatever, do you think that would be a fair wage for what they do? So it's unfair for me to answer because I don't know. I don't know how dangerous their job is. I don't know exactly what they do. All I know is they unload cargo ships, but I don't know, I don't know what type of danger and all of that. Like Rosie mentioned, I think the training that comes with that. So I don't know. I will say they probably would have capped out at some number and they wouldn't have kept up with inflation, but the numbers still would have sounded good like $150,000 sounds like a great job. Until you say, but you got to live in San Francisco. Then all of a sudden it's like, now I'm not living that good. But if you're living in Bilazzi on the port, $150,000 is great. You've lived in Houston or the Bay Area, you know, Baytown. But also that's the thing is the Longshoreman in Mobile don't make the same as the Longshoreman in San Francisco. So that average is a national average. That includes your New York's of the world and your San Francisco's of the world. But it's average. It's the average. Right. So if the average is $200,000, that means somebody's making $400,000 or $300,000 and somebody else is making $100,000. Like how many people have to make $300,000 to cover up the person making $70,000, $80,000? Like how big is that pay gap? Is Longshoreman in Mobile making $80,000 in the one in New York making $400,000? I don't know if it's that wide, but I think Longshoreman in Mobile probably are at like both said $150, $170 versus New York at three. So I don't think it says why does your saying to average out to $250, but it is. But again, it's Longshoreman unionized and they say back in the 50s, 60s, we could actually live off of one income and my wife didn't have to work and all of that. And we were able to actually eke out a good living and right now today, you need about $150,000 to be able to do that. So they unionized and said we're going to keep up with it. I'll accept that just because I think everybody should make a livable wage and enjoy life, but I mean so many people, especially back then, even in the 80s, we're making, you know, you go watch shows where Al Bundy was a shoe salesman and had a stay at home wife, two-story house, three, you know, three bedroom house with a garage and all this stuff. So as a shoe salesman in Chicago, meanwhile, James Evans was working two jobs and was living in the projects in the same city but also Julius, you know, I don't know how much money Julius had because he was so cheap, but they could have been they own they own the brown stone. Yeah. He owned the buildings. He might have been full of it. And so Julius was me, Julius was like, I got plenty of money, but I'm still broke. I'm like, I ain't got no money. That's it. That's how it is. Flex. What? Not a flex. I got plenty of money. I don't know how that's not a flex. You never absolutely never be absolutely have you ever heard me say that no, but my thing is everybody wants that everybody deserves a certain livable wage. I feel like if you work at nine to five, you work and you go out there, you should be able to support your family. Awful. You know, not just the same one income, like a household should be able to support off one income, but excuse me. People shouldn't have to work more than no one individual should have to work more than one job to live. Have a livable wage and be able to maintain a decent lifestyle agree, but $250,000 because you lived well above the lifestyle. $170,000 of mobile is not a livable wage or $170,000 of mobile. You're balling. Right. Right. But I think that's the total income. I don't think that's their normal base salary either. I think that's with overtime and everything because those guys work. Those guys work long hours. So I don't think that it's just base salary off of that either. Yeah. That's why they, that's why they specify full time. I get it. I get it. Um, I know people who work overtime in two, three jobs and they still can't make $170,000. Some can't make $70,000. So the fact that like, well, they're working overtime. So consider that. Okay. Um, that's fine. I think unions are good. I just, I just, the good and the bad of them. I think there's some people who use them to their own spoils and I can never shake season two of the wire out of my head. Yeah. I get it that the teamsters right with the, the mob influence there, like I think so many people use those as these cautionary tales when, you know, even the teachers union gets a bad rap. Right. And, and like, Oh, well teachers unions are making education, you know, they spend too much and teachers shouldn't make that much. They only work eight months a year or whatever and they, they ignore again, the overtime, right? They ignore that those teachers work 14, 15 hours because they're green papers at home and everything else. They're probably in those eight months working the same amount of hours that you work in 12 out of it. Well, why can't the teachers make $250,000 a year? Now that's a union I'll get behind. Get, get some lawmakers decouple first of all, we got a decouple, um, education, um, funding from housing prices and, and housing taxes. You do that and you actually put it as a centralized tax or, and, or, um, like just entitlement and say, Hey, here's the budget allocation for it based on the number of people. And that's the only thing they get. It's still going to be hard. We play out of teachers. If we start paying out teachers 200K, our kids better start having some better lunches. Those kids get fed, slop. Yeah. But we were talking about unions and imports like that's a good, that's a great example. They're not keeping up with the price of inflation, right? And so there's a union that has, and because they have more leverage because of what they do, right? The import export game. And I think that's what it is. Kind of like, well, they're able to strike a monopolize on this is like, Hey, the country shuts down. And that's why I was going with over $4, right? The country's shutting down over $4 versus a local city school, you know, group is going on strike. And so unless you did like a nationwide teacher strike, then maybe something will happen, but and they still like folks don't care folks to be like, I don't care how much money could a teacher get, you know, um, I know they did some major pay raises in Houston for their teachers. And I think we were, this was a conversation piece with some of the teachers in Alabama and looking at the how much they were making after years of teaching. And depending on where you live, like you said, depending on the housing price and house tax, I mean, uh, the property taxes and stuff like that dictate a lot of what teachers made. Um, I don't know. And also we had some homeboys that worked in unions and they seem like they were getting over. They knew that union had a back no matter what they did. And I think that's kind of where I'm like, man, so the union, man, I just going in and I just sit because I know they can't say nothing to me because, uh, they don't want to do my union boss, I'm like, ain't that some, that's some BS. So I think those are some of them, the cautionary tales behind the union as well, but good question, good question. Let's go ahead and close it on out fellas. Ryan Reynolds here for, I guess, my hundreds mint commercial. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, honestly, when I started this, I thought I only have to do like four of these, but it's unlimited premium wireless for fifteen dollars a month, how are there still people paying two or three times that much?

I don't know if we're going to do a lot of work, but we're going to be doing a lot of work. We're going to be doing a lot of work, and we're going to be doing a lot of work, and we're going to be doing a lot of work, and we're going to be doing a lot of work, and we're going to be doing a lot of work, and we're going to be doing a lot of work, and is a school camp. So that's all I got. I mentioned James Evans a few minutes ago. I do want to say a rest in peace to John. I ain't most who played James Evans. He was also Mr. McDowell. He was also Lisa's father on Fresh Prince. And of course he was the older version of Kultecente in Brooks. He actually died like a month and a half ago. And like word just really kind of spread a couple of days ago on that, including his daughter who found out. So she's trying to figure out why she was one of the last people to know and find out when everybody else did. But he reminds me a lot of Charles S. Dutton. I've been going back and rewatching Rock. And he had a lot of issues with his writers because he wanted rock. And this might have been a shot at Martin, but he wanted rock to be like a more serious show. He was like every black sitcom. They always want the black actor to be a buffoon or a super silly and he wanted to deal. That's why you had the whole Andre storyline on rocking things like that. And the writers wanted to just be a typical funny sitcom. John Amos also grew frustrated with JJ becoming the center of good times. And he really wanted to be centered around a strong father, a strong mother, strong family structure. And he also felt like they should have focused more on Michael and and and Thelma. And what they were trying to do versus JJ's antics. And even going back to when he was a kid, he refused to sing the single song. His white music teacher wanted him to sing "Old Black Joe." And I don't blame him. If you ever heard the song "Old Black Joe," and you're the only black kid with all these white kids looking at you, he ain't trying to sing that. So he was always he was always rebellious man. And he just reminds me a lot of Charles S. Dutton. So rest in peace to him. Rosie took my content veils shot out. So I'll just say in addition to that, make sure you make sure you subscribe to us on any podcast platforms. We're on everything from Apple Podcasts to YouTube music. It's no longer Google Podcasts. Spotify and every other podcast platform you can think of. And Rosie also brought up his question centered around unions and the longshoremen. I was going to send a shout out to them on working out a deal. Because for a minute, I was like, is this the October surprise? Because had they stayed on strike long enough, this was going to be a problem for the Biden administration, which would have been a problem for Vice President Harris. So luckily they worked that out. They're set to go back to work tomorrow as we record on Thursday. And so I'm glad they were able to work that out. Now they can focus because it's a lot going on in the Middle East. And I'm sure we'll talk about that in future episodes with a lot going on with Israel and Iran and Hezbollah and just everything going on over there. So I'm glad they was able to work out one of the problems that's going on. So that's all I got, man. Well, we're recording today is Thursday, October 3. Aka fam, you day. We are celebrating 137 years and being institution of higher learning. So a shout out to all my rattlers. I had my orange and green dunks on people were noticing asking what was going on with it. So an actual ran into a random rattler because I had them on. And we had a little moment. But happy fam, you day. And to like Byron said, to the longshoreman, go get your money, do what you need to do. I'm just glad this didn't pan out how I thought it was with this became becoming a political potential, a big political issue for the upcoming election. So we're back to the regular BS that we've been dealing with for the last nine years. Nothing new. People stay tuned. We're about a month away from elections. Please, please. So I'm going to end every episode with this. Get out and vote. Don't don't outsmart yourselves. Don't say the voting process is flawed. Don't say it doesn't matter and talk about the, you know, the same things we've been using for the last couple of elections where we've seen a claim down to very few votes. Your vote counts. Your vote counts. So with that being said, three brothers, no sense. Six rules of podcast. Listen, like, share, subscribe, comment, and most importantly, listen again. Talk to you next week.
