Welcome to Wait One Minute. It's your fabulous host, E. B from the QC by Way of the D, bringing you another episode, Back Like I Never Left. It's going to be a fabulous one once again today. You know, I'm talking politics. We got your crazy dude, uh, number 47, doing the usual things. We're going to run that down. In case you did not know what he's doing, saying what's going on in the world. This guy, um, you should know, and I'm going to let you know. Also, uh, there's some other shit stuff going on in politics uh around the country that's wild too. That I am going to put you home. Right? But you know, we can't leave without talking about sports, right? NFL is coming. We're going to talk about that. Uh, of course, shit that pisses me off, we're going to talk about. So the way people is driving right now pisses me off. We'll talk about that. And then, like, there's a war going on in Ukraine. Got to mention that too. So uh, I'll be back shortly, man, to run this shit down for y'all in case you ain't been paying a fucking attention. Be right back.
SPEAKER_04Put your phone on D Andy, that means that do not disturb when you're driving. And when you go with point A to B. I need you to stay, say, please, so always sing with me. So put your phone on D Andy, that means that do not disturb when you drive. And when you go with point A to B. I need you to stay, say, please, don't always ring the B.

SPEAKER_00Is that uh President Trump and his administration, basically Trump, has taken control of the Smithsonian and the Kennedy Senator in Washington, D.C. Like museums and arts type stuff, right? We know this guy probably hasn't seen too much art of museums and don't know history at all. Right? These are things that's facts, right? We know that. So why you think why you think this motherfucker doing this, man? Like when he in control, he basically wants to change what history says. The man said that uh they make slavery look too bad. I'm like, how can you how can you make it look better, honestly? What what what what what is he talking about here, right? Like this is opening the door for him to take control of like what it is that that that we see, what we believe, like what's true. You're trying to shape what the truth is. It's happened before. In other places in history, in other times. He's already taken over the DC police with the National Guard. And even I think like some FBI people maybe like but it's like federal law enforcement officials doing like police work in DC. Uh that's pretty close to martial law sound like to me. And it seems like he's trying to expand it beyond DC, mostly to what he considers uh blue cities or places in the country. But he calls it out of control crime. This is a plan that's been in the works for these folk. And and y'all don't have to wake up and see that it is unfolding before our eyes. Slowly but surely. It's definitely surely. But it's happening, and then y'all need to pay a damn attention. I don't even know why anybody's seeing this shit. But it's starting to look like that some shit just didn't happen before in other places and other times. Let's just let's just pay attention now. If if you know a little history. And uh also they kicking the homeless out of DC. Like they they they gonna like move them, pick them up and be like, yo, this the homeless spot. But the plan they say on TV is that nah, we're gonna we're gonna put them in shelters. Or or if they need help, you know, mental health facilities. Okay. But then you got people that ain't never been police before on the streets trying to do this shit. Right. Oh, you also say you're gonna jail folk too. And I think that's probably what y'all are gonna try to do, jail deport. That's what you're doing. Jailing and deporting. Because the shelters is full and you know that. You know that. Y'all don't have no housing for these folk, and you know that. It's just uh it's it's obvious to me, and I can't be the only one saying what the hell you doing or what they doing. I just want y'all to be in a know. Pay attention, please, to what's going on here. Like I say, it's similar with with what's going what has happened, we've seen before, when people take over museums and decide what history is and all that, and when the police ain't the police, but the military's the police. Not to mention their gerrymandering in public. Now I didn't know about Texas now. You haven't heard, oh my. Well, let me tell you. The Texas Congress is redrawing a maps, which it's okay to redraw maps like every ten years, based on the census data. That's how it's generally done in all states. I think Texas had a census like five years ago, so they supposed to wait five more years for doing this. But the president told them let's do it now, go ahead and get some seats so that we can keep control. They want to keep control that way. By not allowing the voters to pick, by drawing the map so that they get to pick their voters. It's not new, it seems like it. North Carolina has been doing that shit. Remember, they've been in the Supreme Court, had to redraw the shit and all that, and still got some good maps on their favor. They ain't really doing an open like Texas. And there's other states doing it too. Indiana probably. Who knows? Missouri maybe. I can't think of the right states right now who really involve red states. California say, well, fuck it, we'll do it too. They they blue, right? They like, fuck it. Y'all wanna cheat, we'll cheat. But what does that get us to? Where does that take us? Everybody cheating, ain't nobody vote counting? Or counting to the wrong motherfucker? Like, what is this, really? You know? I don't get it, man. I don't get it. Well, I do get it. And you get it too, hopefully, right? What will we do about it? What will we do? First of all, let's just recognize what's going on, and then we, you know, let's do that first. That's what I'm here for. Let y'all know the fuck really going on. And and listen. These motherfuckers ain't really damn doing dog whistles and being in the secret no more. Like, they saying the quiet parts out loud and doing shit. This motherfucker done hired all his people in all the right positions to where everyone who has a position of power in the cabinet is a strong supporter of his, we'll say. You know, to keep it to keep it kosher. They strong supporters of him. Okay, they expect something, and they'll do almost anything. Okay? Just to get anything. Hey, hey, this person's doing great. You know, but he'll fire your stupid ass in a heartbeat. Ain't none of y'all prepared for these jobs. You know. Y'all probably sucked at the last damn job you had. But you licked this man's nuts and he gave you one that was harder than the last one you had. Putting all of us in fucking jeopardy. Because these are important fucking jobs. They're not partisan jobs. They're important jobs. And y'all done made them partisan, putting everybody in danger. Listen. I just want y'all to be in the know, man. I'm I'm about to break for a second. Alright. And I'm gonna come back with that sports shit though. So uh give me one real quick second, and we'll come back with some with some sports shit, because I'm really talking shit then. Need a lightning boost? Try 300 million energy drink.

SPEAKER_03Hear that? It's the sound of your life. Perfectly imperfectly. Beating in rhythm to the world you've created. But every time you drive after drinking, music gets drowned out. Your life sounds pretty great. Don't let a buzz ruin it. Buzz driving is drunk driving. Don't drive buzzed. A message from Knits and the Ad Council.
SPEAKER_00Alright, cool. So now's what y'all was waiting on, right? We get to the sports talk. Uh first thing I want to jump on is uh Cleveland with their 19 damn quarterbacks and all of them hurt. Uh that's crazy. But you know what I'm saying? Season about to start, but hey, at least they named the starter, though, right? Mr. Mr. Flack, Flack, Flack, uh, get the start. Um. But I think he still got uh both the Sanders kid and the Gabriel kid. They both on his ass. Like either one of them could take that job any day. Any day. Because I mean they both showed signs of being alright. Um I'm slightly biased. I think this Sanders kid got a better chance. Um, you know, Dylan, Dylan still can make it, but I I think as far as the club go, uh, it's hard to tell because the way they drafted, but like either one of them kids can make it, bruh. They can make it on that team. Or any team. They're not gonna start on any team, but they can start on this one. They can damn sure start on this one, bro. Um Then we're going to my boys, man. The motherfucking Cowboys. We're gonna stay in my division, but the Cowboys, listen, y'all. Um I uh, first of all, the whole contract situation with with um with Michael Parsons, it's crazy. It's crazy. And that's then already because of where we are in the season, week two of the preseason, and and it's already not fixed, and it's looking crazy, it's not gonna be a great season. We can already tell, right? And I had questions going in. New coach, even though he'd been there, like he ain't been the head coach. Uh you know, a lot of changes. Uh people coming back from injury. Uh, then we got new guys, you know, saying that we need to work out. Uh guys that was drafted the last couple years need to go on and work out, you know, get, you know, shit. It's time to step up. What can you do? Stop the fucking run. How's that working out, right? So all of these are questions going in, then you got this bullshit. You know, yeah, offense looks great on fucking paper. You know, with pickings dudes and all of that, but like, you know, and the quarterback back, man, look, they still fight uh what they call ice skating uphill with uh Daniels, even without uh uh uh uh McLaurin, who's still at practice, just not practicing or signed. Um, you know, and then and then it's shit. The world champs who ain't got no worse, I don't think. And if they did get worse, okay. They still to beat a man, you gotta beat the man. Okay, and that's just our division. And then who knows with New York? Because they defense look like uh look like they can stop somebody. And the defense, they defense, the Giants defense hasn't that I can remember, really been soft, soft, you feel me? So especially recently they they've been alright. So um, man, I don't even know, man. Uh what to say about my team. Uh the rest of the league, hey. Uh shh. It's gonna be a good, interesting season, I think, AFC-wise. NFC, it's a lot of questions. A lot of questions. NFC, AFC, I think we we know who is and who ain't, maybe. But it's a lot of new stuff I want to see. I want to see the uh Raiders, you know. Um, you know, it's a lot of stuff you want to see. You want to see what's going on with the Patriots. What's going on with the Titans? What's going on with the Falcons? Right? We want to see this. And some other interesting things. Maybe some of y'all stupid ass teams. You know. But uh, check it. One more break, and then we'll come back with two. Um, and we'll come back. Man, I'll tell you what the fuck I'm talking about when I get back.
SPEAKER_02We all make choices. When it comes to alcohol, kids make choices whether to drink or not.
SPEAKER_03Bye, Dad. Bye-bye.
SPEAKER_05Remember, I'm going to Alex's party tonight in sleeping over.
SPEAKER_02Hey, have a seat for a second. Remind me about that party again. Alex's. And adults make choices whether to talk about it. That's true of parents and every other trusted adult in a kid's life. Kids want to know our expectations when it comes to alcohol and other drugs. They want guidance and honest answers to their questions. And it makes a difference when the message is consistent and part of everyday conversations. So talk with your kids and help lead them on a positive path. Because when you talk, they hear you.

So I told you I was gonna peep y'all on what was going on with this war, right? If you're not sure which war I'm talking about, well, Russia invaded Ukraine uh like three years ago, right? They still there. Um and then like during the uh last year, 2024, during the what they call the presidential campaign, like the current president, number 47, the one y'all voted for, he was like, yo, on my first day, day one, I'm gonna end this war, this Biden Biden started the war, which is weird, right? How Biden could start the war as the American president when actually uh uh the Putin president or the Russian president who's Vladimir Putin, like he actually invaded Ukraine. And somehow Trump's blaming the American president, Biden, for Russia's president invading a their n a neighboring country over there. Yeah, that that that's that's how his mind works. But either way, uh as far as that goes, so this shit been dragging on and now like so uh remember like Trump got elected in November of 2024 and started in late January of 25. We in August 25, and that war's still fucking going on. Don't look like that promise was kept as far as him ending that shit now. He's trying to help end it now, apparently, like you know, having meetings with uh presidents of of both countries, right? You know, meeting with the Europeans who definitely stand with Ukraine because it it it helps the world actually, right? To stand against Putin, if you know anything about Putin, his thinking and how he works and the shit he's been doing. Like, yeah. If you don't know, look it up. But he didn't try to kill people on US soil, German soil, African soil, uh uh British soil. Well, when I say tried, he's he succeeded in a lot of those cases, right? Um man, if you ain't know, look that shit up. This is wild. This man, crazy. Interestingly crazy. Like, if you don't really know about him, look him up. The man named Vladimir Putin, he's the president of Russia. Weird that you don't know, but it's cool, man. I'm alright with that. As long as you look him up, find out. You you're gonna be like, wow, this, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like that. All right, he's like that. He's got a history on his ass. Yeah, he got a history on him. But uh, yeah, like but the Trump dude, like, in his trying to help end it now, right? He's saying that uh Ukraine, who was invaded by Russia, he's like, you know, to keep the peace, we might have to, like, you know what I'm saying, swap some land and shit, you know. They Russia give up some, Ukraine give up some. That sounds silly to me. Because, first of all, if I'm Ukraine, I'm like, all right. But we was chilling, and y'all came over here shooting and shit. Tell me this my shit, but it's not yours. And we was just defending it. And you took some anyway, which we won't back. You might give up something? That's that's that's totally crazy. That's that's totally nonsense, in my opinion. That's just my opinion. Yours could be different. I'd like to know if it is, and you know how to reach me. You know how to reach me. Social media, that's it. Because I'm not giving out my number. But yeah, they was like, they were just chilling. You want us to give up some shit? And like, this is somebody else, like another country, saying this, like, yo, that first of all, this ain't your land. And then let's say we do that and be like, okay, y'all can have this and we can have that. Well, what about the motherfuckers that live there? Right? That's like let's say you live in fucking uh uh let's say you live in Virginia in the United States. You're in Virginia, right? And uh you're in Southern Virginia, like right at the North Carolina line in the mountains, and North Carolina just say, you know what? We're taking this, and these people are now North Carolinians. How then Virginia's gonna feel that like they gotta be North Carolinians without with with no choice. Like they taxes changed, they zip code, all like all that shit changed, like, and they had no say so. That sounds like bullshit to me, but maybe you down for it. If it was if if if you was in their shoes. Maybe you d maybe that's cool to you. I don't know. But why don't you first think, what if I was one of these motherfuckers in Ukraine and they tell my damn making me a Russian? Tell me how that sounds to you. Like, literally tell me, like, give me some feedback on that shit on I don't know, Instagram or fucking what's whatever my other shits is. You know, I check them, I just don't know him, but you know, I'll play it on the fucking thing. You know? Yeah. But yeah, other than the war, man, uh last thing I'm gonna hit y'all about is this shit that drives me crazy. Speaking of drives, it's driving. Ha ha. And it ain't just driving. I mean, I'm okay with driving, but like some of the shit y'all do or don't do when driving. Like the turn signal. You just don't do that. I still haven't I haven't had anybody tell me like a good reason why you're not doing it. I'm talking about like when you just don't ever, like you don't ever do it. Some people forget sometimes, you know what I'm saying? Some be like, I ain't gonna do it because I don't need to. Maybe ain't no cars behind me or around or it's three in the morning, right? But some people just never do, like, and this is something that they're not gonna ever do. And I haven't really gotten a good reason why you would not do something so simple. Cause like if you do click the motherfucker up or down, like you're not gonna be ejected from the car. Right? Uh it's not it's not the car ain't gonna catch on fire. Ain't no sirens gonna come on or no horn or no shit like that unless you know, unless you got a weird ass car. I'm trying to think. Like, what the fuck? Why wouldn't you? But you just use your pinky, like if you got your hands attending to, like, your pinky can do the single signal either way. You're your fucking pinky. Now, if you ain't got one, I ain't talking to you. If your shit don't work, I ain't talking to you. Right? If you use the signal, I ain't talking to you. But for motherfuckers with pinkies that work, with a turn signal in the car, and what kind of car you driving and don't have one is illegal though. You feel me? Still trying to find a good reason, a good reason why you ain't doing that shit. I mean, and it's okay, like to to provide feedback on the website or you know what I'm saying, social media. You know, let me know. Cause I I play that shit on the air, you know. And I read it with great tone and enthusiasm. Cause I c I can I can kind of read what you how you trying how you feeling, you know. Based on your handle and all that shit and how you spell or whatever. You know, grammar diction, all that. I can tell. I can just feel it. I got vibes, I got vibes, I can feel, you know. But yeah, the turn signal shit. What the fuck, man? Let me know why. And the fuck you won't do it. You know. Did you know that shit is actually uh uh is safer to use a turn signal than to follow somebody real fucking close? Yeah. Look it up look that shit up, motherfucker. But lastly, lastly, lastly before I go. Your lane. Stay in your lane. Do you know what lane is yours? For all of us is the one all the way to the right. That's for everybody. Just stay to the right. That's for all of us. Everybody. Including me, including people going faster than me. Now, once you you feel like you're gonna pass somebody and you ain't too close, yeah. You move over, Elaine, to pass that motherfucker. Until you pass all these slow motherfuckers and get back over into the right. There may be times when just you can't get in there all the way right because they all going slower than you. So you're in the next to the right, next to the far right. That's you, that's your lane. Because you're only passing the motherfuckers that's going the slowest. That's the only motherfuckers you're passing, then you're in that next to the right, second to the right lane. That's your lane, unless you run up on somebody that's going faster than the slowest motherfuckers, but slower than you. Then you get over one lane to pass that motherfucker, and then you get back to your lane. Like, that's how the shit works. That's how it works. Like, in case you did not know. And like, shit, I don't mind if you share that shit. Matter of fact, I'm encouraging you to share this information with everyone you know that drives. Whether you think they know it or not. Just be like, hey. In case you didn't know, I got some driving information for you, man, about the lanes. And then tell them whether they want to hear it or not. Say, yeah, you're supposed to be in the right lane all the time unless you pass somebody. Right? But then, like, there is sometimes they're like, everybody in that right lane is going slower than you, and it's okay to be in the next to the right lane. And there might be times when somebody in that lane that you run up on might be going slower than you. It's okay to get one more lane over to pass them, but then get back to that next to the right lane after you pass them because that's your lane. Like, explain that shit to everybody that you know to drive. Please do that for me. And subscribe. Hey, I'm gonna holler back at y'all, man, next time. Uh, again, wait one minute is what y'all love. So uh listen in and share it.
