This week on Wait One Minute!: another light rail stabbing in Charlotte, the growing debate around a Netflix–Warner Bros. merger, rising global tensions tied to Venezuela, and why today’s NFL looks nothing like it used to. From public safety and immigration to media power and football culture, this episode is serious, blunt, and unfiltered. If you’re paying attention to what’s happening in the U.S., press play.
Let's come back and work. Cheers from Big Glass Brewery. Savor unique craft beers and seasonal specials in a big ass glass. Visit BigGlassBrew.com or call 555-901-2345. Also IG at Big Glass. Again, Charlotte? Well damn, y'all have made national news again, but not for what you would like. Alright? Stupid ass president, or I mean the president of the United States is what I meant to say. I was like, what's going on in Charlotte? Right? Because apparently there has been another stabbing on the light rail. No not apparently. For real though. This time though it wasn't a deadly stabbing. This victim survived. Thank goodness. Thank God. Thank whoever you want to thank. We're so glad the man survived. And he was trying to save people because apparently this suspect uh was wilding out drunk and uh uh the uh the victim apparently was just, you know, trying to trying to help uh you know keep this allegedly drunk, crazy person from from hurting other people there on that train, which you know we would expect all of y'all to do, or any of us to do, or some of us, somebody, right? Uh but any rate the um again, like I said, the the the the victim is I mean the victim is fine or or should be fine. But uh what I want to bring up is the fact that okay once this happens, you got the president uh pointing it out and then others in his administration pointing out that this person had had had uh uh I guess not legal status in the country. And it's cool for them to point that out. But I do remember uh them being in Charlotte not too long ago on a targeted mission to remove people like this from Charlotte. This particular person has been deported from the United States before on more than one occasion. And my question is when y'all was in Charlotte looking for the words of the words, this dude wasn't on y'all list. I come y'all, y'all was here before this shit happened. Y'all could have just took him out of here if y'all was doing what you said you was doing, but apparently you wasn't quite doing that. Number one. I got another point. Y'all can't blame that kind of crime with this, uh these these what you're saying, there's people that should not be in this country, is oh, they're doing this and that, and this in this city and that city, and these cities are protecting them. Uh, that's patently false. Because if Dude was deported under Trump's watch and came back under Trump's watch, ended up hurting someone in North Carolina. I don't know how law enforcement in North Carolina can keep someone who's been deported out of the country. I don't think that's their job. They did arrest someone in their jurisdiction that committed a crime, which is their job. They did a fine job of that. I don't well I know for a fact it ain't their job to keep him out of the country. The people whose job it is to keep him out of the country was away from the border, letting motherfuckers probably in the damn country that's gonna do the same shit. That was point number two. That was it. What y'all think on that? But it's just crazy that they be trying to blame certain people for certain things. And first of all, blaming fixes what nothing. Right. Second of all, usually when you blame that means you don't have an answer. And you might be part of the problem. I'm not saying that's the case here, but I'm just saying that is a part of how shit works. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Uh next topic of interest is actually something I spoke about before. We are still on the war in the Caribbean. We still on that. Cause remember last time I was talking about, you know, how they just bloom, bloom just dropping missiles on alleged drug boats bringing harm to Americans, right? Allegedly. Bloom, bloom, bloom, just dropping missiles. Well, they did a a double strike on one of them. And it's questions. We got questions now. Cause after the first strike, a couple people survived, it appeared. And so because they survived, they was like, nah, we gotta take them out too. So now what our United States Department of Defense, Pete Heggs, said this saying is, hey, they had to be taken out because they was getting ready uh redo the mission and and take the same harm back to the U.S. These two motherfuckers that was up to some people who seen the footage was asking for help or about to die, and other people who seen the footage is saying, hey, they was gonna continue the mission after being missile. They gonna continue. They mission. That's the story. Now since the first one we've seen gotta be half a dozen, if not a dozen videos of the forty damn near strikes they've done on all these alleged drug boats that are a national threat uh that we are are in an armed conflict with. However, they're reluctant to show the video of the double strike joint. Sounds fishy to me, but it may not sound fishy to y'all, and that's cool too. I'm okay with that, man. I'm okay with that. But while we all think on it, I'm gonna take a small break and come back with some old good shit.

Fuck me up though. Did you know that Netflix and Warner Brothers trying to be like, one? They getting married, B, or they want you. Like they done popped the question, like, you know what I'm saying? But it's gotta be you know, in this country, like they gotta make sure like shit is is is right, all right with that deal. And in this deal, um there are some questions about, you know, mmm, is it is it cool? Um there's predictions about if the deal goes through, like what it can mean for the the industry, like movies and streaming, and yeah, it's gonna affect you and me. Um also, you know, when it comes to businesses and how businesses work, in this country, like, you know what I'm saying, we got like antitrust laws which might come into play looking at this deal. There may be conflict of interest, which ain't always, you know what I'm saying, against the law, but it might look funny, like, man, what the hell? And then you got maybe people who's like, well shit, this shit could be good for some people. We'll talk about all that shit. Right now. So listen. Um, here's some predictions. Here's what some of the experts are saying what might happen if this deal is accepted. So if indeed the deal goes through, it's possible uh that Netflix wouldn't only be a streaming app no more. They would own all the movie and TV studios across the world. Meaning basically, they determine like the shows, they determine how you look for what's out there and all of that. So they wouldn't be a platform, they'll kinda gatekeep. They'll be the motherfucking uh wizard. Feel me? Uh another thing that could possibly happen, like I can say these are predictions from experts. I ain't no fucking expert in this shit. But like the way the whole movie shit works is when these companies like it spent a whole lot of money on these movies, right? They generally put out movies they know gonna work. So if it's some shit that ain't been out before or a new idea, they ain't gonna put up the money to do no shit that they not like it's a safe bet. They ain't doing that shit, which is gonna mean that like new movies may not come out, uh some of the people that or or artists or writers or whatever who ain't as well known, they may not get they shit out neither. And of course prices ain't gonna go down. And hell, movie theaters might even get screwed because people gonna be watching TV from well, movies from well. Because if Netflix owned the fucking movies, they're not gonna send you to the theater, bruh. Cause they don't own the theaters all the damn brick and mortar shit. Hmm. It's possible. Just another prediction. Uh another thing, like I said, they they're talking about is like antitrust concerns. And what the thing that they looking about is like that whole monopoly joint. All of you are about monopolies. You don't want one company, like your energy or water company, right, being the only energy or water company, because if that's the case, they can charge what they want because there's no competition. And just imagine if Netflix and Warner Brothers get together, like who's competing with them for real? So yeah, you'll put a lot of the smaller, a whole lot of smaller anything that deals with like movies, uh music companies, uh film companies, even some towns be fucked up because they they depend on this shit. So, you know, it's just a possibility. Conflicts also, because it looks like uh if the deal whether the deal goes through or not, Jared Kushner, his one of his companies, you know, he's involved in a lot of shit, is actually got money uh backing this deal, and that looks kind of crazy that, you know, uh uh he's in a pretty much relative situation to one of the most powerful people in the world, if not the most powerful person in the world. Yeah, Jared Kushner, he is the son-in-law of United States President Donald Trump. And like one of his companies is is is is backing I don't know I don't know if he got money in in in I think it's the Warner Brothers joint. Or it might be Netflix, I don't know. But like he got money in that joint, so yeah, that it's not even illegal, but you know, it it oof. Man, pops them all the president, like you can push it how you want to push it. Maybe, but it looked like that. It could. On the on the upside though, it'll make it easy. Like for those of y'all that be on the movie joints and you look for something. They might it might be all one app where every damn movie you just go to one spot for everything. Whether you're downloading it or watching it, right? That's that's that's pretty cool. Um and and you you're not paying 17 damn subscriptions over all these different apps, right? You got one app, one subscription, period. Now I can't say it's not gonna be 700 a month, but shit, it's only one bill. One bill, not seventeen bills. Uh another thing is like, hell, um more audiences, like so if you're a uh a a artist, right? Like y you your shit like if your shit reaches more people. Uh whether you you're acting or or producing or or directing or editing or right? Your shit whatever you do, it's reaching you got a bigger audience, so that gives you more opportunities, you know. So it's it's not like it's all bad if it goes through but you know, everything is nuanced. Everything. You feel me? So uh it really comes down to though, if these two companies come together, like it depends on how they run it, because power. They will have the power of the media, which is can be a scary thing or it can be a great thing, depending on how I go, you know. Um but hell, I'm gonna let y'all think on that shit too. I'm gonna take another break before we do this last bit. Um so boom. Uh, real quick, I'll be back. Join us for an engaging discussion on the most pressing topics of the day. Hit me up on Instagram at wait one minute show or X, formerly known as Twitter, at Wait One Minute Exclamation and Buzz Sprout. Wait one min dot buzzsprout.com. Ha ha ha ha ha E from the QC Power Way to D. Back up in this thing, check it, man. Listen. Damn, Eagles though. For real. Y'all looking crazy right now. I mean crazy, but like, I already see what it is. A lot of people have seen what it is. And what's crazy is everybody that's in, like, you know, Professor Sports talking about, yeah, locker room this, locker room that, ain't no noise, ain't no no social media, we don't watch whatever. Apparently the Eagles been watching or listening or something, because they've been trying to force some passing game that don't exist. And you know, the reason that things are not clicking for them, and you got cryptic messages from your uh uh receivers and uh not a whole lot, not the number of of of uh long runs from from from Saquon. Well, all of that, yeah, you got the whole offensive coordinator change and uh what's the name? Uh Kellen Moore's not there. Uh but the one thing that's missing why they why they messing up is everything they were doing when they were successful and and and making good plays and not predictable was predicated on being not predictable. It's only one thing missing. Jalen Hurts ain't running. He's not fucking running, right? When he's running, and you gotta worry about Saquon running, right? That compromises linebackers and safeties, because now they gotta make decisions, right? When they have to make decisions, that's gonna open up AJ Brown and and and and um the little skinny boy, they're gonna get open or or God to get open, right? Or you it opens up lanes for Saquon, right? So he gets to the second level. Because you have to worry about a running quarterback. Because this quarterback is not running, then those things are not happening, and those lanes are not opening for the running back, Saquon, and therefore when that ain't happening, then we are sticky icky icky on both of y'all's receivers. So, yeah, yeah, that's the issue. It's really simple. I don't even know why all season, you know, it's been such a puzzle or mischief. Now, I haven't said anything because losing is what I like for the Eagles to fucking do. And y'all know this. Y'all know this, yeah. Now, the Eagles will still most likely break history and be back to back NFC champions for the first time in a long fucking time. Okay. I'm fifty something, don't even remember that bullshit. And If you remind me, I'll be like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. I do remember when somebody else did that shit, but I couldn't tell the year or the team that did it back to back because it's been that long in this division. Okay? And that's the division I'm cool with, that's the division I'm in, and I'm not leaving it. Um and and yeah, so I root against all of them other motherfuckers. Okay? But wow, what I'm seeing with these guys, yeah, that it's that simple. But why would I tell them how to fix it? And no, I know for a fact my team. It's not just, I mean, we don't it's not enough help in the fucking world to get us to the playoffs. Let's say we did get to the playoffs without winning a division. Where the fuck we going? Same place we go every year. One or two and it's a wrap. So yeah, why would you shit yourself out a better seat at the table and getting some help? Either way, we didn't we see right now, we actually haven't won too many games. Now we don't have no picks in the pocket. But you know, we could slide in somewhere if we don't win too many more. Scheduling is foreboding, but it's cool. It's cool. I'm right with what we're doing this year. Listen. Tune in for real talk on today's hottest topics. Let's dive deeper than the headlines. Make sure to like, subscribe, and share. I didn't held y'all, man, for way too long. So listen, last thing, man. I don't know who the fuck taught you to drive. And what the hell you think you're even driving in, but you know it's mirrors and that shit, right? Most of y'all got two. At least. But it's three in a lot of cars too. And like that shit is helpful, b. Use that shit. Damn. Like before you turn into another fucking lane or some shit. Use that shit. If you want to change lanes, let's say you want to change from the right lane to the left lane. There's a mirror right there that you could just shit, you ain't gotta turn your head. You can look at that motherfucker without turning your head and kind of see who's on that side. You can. You really can. And if you see another fucking vehicle there, you should probably wait before you move to that lane. You could do it on the other side too. There's a mirror over there on most fucking cars. Then you got this rear view motherfucking shit. Like you could damn near see the world behind you. For real. The world behind you. It's fucking awesome. Like, okay. It's super helpful as a driver. As a passenger? Oh shit, for real. The world behind you. But let's go back to driving. You stupid motherfucker. Use that one too. Use them all. It's a pattern you can use. You can like click. Look at the left mirror up. The middle mirror right. Boom. Straight. Boom. Like it's a whole rhythm you can do to make sure that you and everybody else is safe. That's the fucking problem. You forgot about everybody else, man. Everybody else. Don't forget about everybody else, nigga. Or motherfucker. It's just you. Shit, excuse my language, bitches. Shit. It's not just you out there. Okay? Use the mirrors. Whether you have one, two, or three. If you have none, get your ass off the motherfucking road. Do you hear me? Shit. Got me hot as hell, man. Listen. I'm gonna see y'all next time. But listen, even though I can get hot sometimes, man, I'm cool as fuck. And what I want y'all to do is be nice to people because they don't cost motherfucking things. Be nice to people.
