Ever found yourself pondering the shifting sands of public opinion or marveled at the strategic moves of hip-hop moguls like Drake? Well, keep your headphones close, because we're peeling back the layers on the art of public perception in the ever-turbulent world of hip-hop. Join us for a lively discussion where we connect the dots between personal quirks, like disappearing gym equipment, to the grander scale of celebrity image crafting. We don't shy away from the juicy details of industry beefs, diving into the intricate dynamics between Drake and his contemporaries, Kendrick Lamar and Rick Ross, while pondering the broader implications of their lyrical jousting on their careers and legacies.

But it's not all beats and bars; we've got sports fans covered, too. Imagine the electric atmosphere as the Houston Texans unveil their new jerseys, signaling a fresh identity and stirring the passions of fans far and wide. We rate the threads and share in the buzz, weaving in your spirited comments from our TikTok page to underscore the vibrant tapestry that is sports fandom. The connection between us and you, our listeners, is the heartbeat of our show, and we thrive on the back-and-forth banter that keeps us all engaged and entertained.

As the conversation takes a turn toward the serious, we tackle the complexities of the business world, from the implications of Joe Biden's capital gains bill to the unfolding drama at local hotspots like Turkey Leg Hut. Listen carefully as we dissect the cautionary tales of business partnerships gone awry and the stormy seas of high-profile breakups, extracting valuable lessons on management and transparency. With each story, we knit together a narrative that's as educational as it is gripping, promising to serve up insights with a side of heart and humor that you won't want to miss.

Speaker 1:

I feel like every day that I wake up, you know still be trying to figure out this life. Shit. Can't say I got answers yet, but you know I feel like we all trying to figure this out. Yeah, what's a life without peace, life without goals, life without love, life without souls, life without joy, life without cries, life without hellos?

Speaker 2:

Real deal with the kill. We are back with another one. Subscribe rate review, itunes, spotify, tiktok. Let me give a big shout out to tiktok later on this show, um, ufm tv. Um, wilson's behind the camera the same guy. Y'all said that. Uh, y'all clowned him for picking ai with the least amount of handles. It's the one that's controlling everything right now behind the scenes. I'm going to get out of the way and just give TikTok a shout out right now, because right now, with TikTok and social media, that's a big thank you for everybody that's commenting on the cut ones. We're doing the blind rankings. We just did everything. So it's a big shout out to y'all. Um, we're gonna get the show rolling.

Speaker 2:

But first, um, I want to say this I have a little story to tell, because I want to just know who the hell steals toilet paper from an apartment gym. Um, that's something that I did not, I've never seen before. That is something I ran into this morning about to go work out and I wanted to go to the restroom and found there was toilet paper nonexistent. The day before that I was there. It was a full roll. All of a sudden. I just want to know who the hell steals that Because last month they stole dumbbells and I'm like, damn these broke-ass niggas, i't believe this shit. So that's the. That's that's the type of place I stand right now. We still in toilet paper and we still in um dumbbells. I just want to get that shot the way. But I want to touch on what's what's happening right now, especially in hip-hop, which is um, this wholeke versus everybody in hip-hop, and not so much of the beef, not so much of what everybody's talking about, it's more so of the art of public perception, and I feel like that's what drake mastered um for the people that don't know what public reception is a belief or opinion often held by many people and based on how things seem. That is what drake has mastered um, and I'm gonna just bring it.

Speaker 2:

Give this example you ever met somebody that's a friend um, a person you potentially want to date, and you start to realize. You talk to them more and more, and you're speaking to them through text, through talk, and it's a. You start to learn a commerce. That person's a common denominator when they're having issues with friends, having issues with family. Start off fine, everything is fine, and then. But once you get to know that person More and more you start to realize Like, hmm, okay, you had this amount of exes in the past. You had friends that you lost as an adult. It's not them, it's you. That's what's happening right now.

Speaker 2:

So we take that into consideration when we talk about even celebrities, because we hold celebrities to a higher standard Athletes, celebrities, whoever People that's in a position of power, we hold them to a higher standard, but we just forget the morals. We forget real life issues, because what's happening right now with with drake versus the rick ross, the kendrick, the um asap, rocky future, whoever the weekend, this isn't music. This is something beyond news. This is something that's not even about the lyrics. Who's the better rapper? That's Kendrick versus Drake. We understand that part.

Speaker 2:

But what Rick Ross is talking about of when A$AP Rocky hopped on the feature, this is not about who has the better bars with them. This is things like yo, if you're A$AP, you've been speaking on Rihanna, you've been salty about me having Rihanna and you not able to wife Rihanna, and I've been letting it pass for so long, and now I'm gonna say something. This is Rick Ross and Kanye. Knowing that you have a guy that owns Republic and that person name, I want to say it's Lucien, what's helping me? A Lucien grand something, I'm gonna get that name. That guy was under Jimmy Iovine and you start to unbag it, you start to unwind certain things and you realize, like huh, drake is really has a guy that's it's lucy and grange lucy and grange.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you start to realize and that's what rick was talking about like yo, you have, there's got a position of power that's put, that's a machine behind you, but the public is not even thinking about. The public is seeing the simple surface of it. Look, ground surface of what's happening with the situation and it's like, no yo, this is deeper and that is what drake has mastered. He mastered the art because if I asked this question three months ago, if I go off and say and ask everybody, make a poll, hey, if drake and kendrick got into a diss battle it's three, three months ago who would y'all pick? 90% of y'all would say Kendrick will wipe out Drake. That's the honest truth. Today, drake has put out two songs. Kendrick Lamar had a feature and now it goes from 90% Kendrick to now. Maybe people's like, wow, drake has a shot.

Speaker 2:

Kendrick Lamar is really scared of Drake. That is what Drake did to change the minds of people. That's the art of public perception and that's what he's been doing. We making it. We had a point now in hip-hop where people really believe that ken's lamar is scared of drake, one of the greatest ever, a guy that that always been calling out people since 2013, since control, he doesn't put out a song In the timely fashion, how we want him to put out a song. As much as we listen to Kendrick Lamar and been following this man since Overly dedicated, have y'all not learned that Kendrick Lamar don't operate on nobody else's time? Don't y'all know that he operates on his own time? Y'all just seen this man have a 5 year delay From damn to Mr Morana, big Steppers, and y'all think he's going to be rushing a song. That's not the case. We already know he has a hit-em-up style song in the vote. But again, that's the auto-pilot perception, people, and that's what we got to realize now in society. Because everybody's fast, microwave, one thing now fast, quick. That's not how it works.

Speaker 2:

So, like I said, what's going on right now with Drake and this whole Thanos theory that Thanos didn't want to give him no, no, no. This isn't about hip-hop, this is about real situations moving forward, moving to another beef in hip-hop Chris Brown Quavo. Uh, people got mad at me, rightfully. So, not worried About the whole Chris Brown Quavo situation, I didn't see what to be mad about. I think Chris Brown did wipe out Quavo, not to the Ja Rule fashion how 50 Cent did Ja Rule. But it wasn't that bad.

Speaker 2:

But it was a very A hard diss track. I would say to go as far as to say this is one of the hardest diss tracks I've heard In the past seven years. I can say that seven to ten maybe. If you want to count all of chicago drill music, then go right ahead. Some of the main disses. This is one of the hardest, one of the most disrespectful ones I've heard. But where people got mad at me is when I commented about quavo's song response that he had. Um, I just went off and said, hey, this is actually not bad, this is actually good. With fire emojis, people's enough war. Oh what, this is so garbage no, it's not good.

Speaker 2:

What? What are you talking about? It's not even a good song. He's not talking about nothing. Really, I'm having I'm having people that don't listen to hip-hop like that. Tell me this is garbage. No, no, I'm damn sure not listening to nobody that tell that says their favorite rapper is a person that says their booty holes brown and hope and what she saved my booty holes brown, pussy. People, I'm not. If that's your favorite rapper, I don't want to hear your opinion on hip hop. No, shout out to Sexy Red. I'm not saying anything wrong with her. I'm just saying I'm not listening to her fan base. They're going to tell me that Quavo's response was garbage. I didn't say it was Great as Chris Brown's response Of this song. I'm not saying that.

Speaker 2:

But the input take off in it. His bars was more. It was better than most people thought. It was better than my expectation. I didn't expect quavo to come with anything. That was fire wasn't on chris brown level, but it was pretty. He held his own to the innocence. At the end of the day, chris brown still want to beef, but I just think that's another part of public perception. Chris brown, the bigger artist, the bigger name, better entertainer, one of the best in the generation. So some people call him the next michael jackson, which is a stretch. But that is that's what it is. Quavo, it's part of migos. People feel like I, it happened in houston. People feel like, hey, that was irresponsible. Whatever happened when takeoff passed away? People's is upset about that. Quavo's not in the same light as chris brown. Quavo dropped two solo albums, at best his second one was way better than his first. But is that saying a lot? No, but that's just the public perception. Chris Brown very hard diss track. Quavo's response eh, mid less. That's their perception.

Speaker 2:

So I want to shift gears to the Houston Texans jersey. I'm pretty sure everybody's seen it now. Don't want to spend too long on it, but I just want to give my quick take on. I think for the first time in my life I'm going to buy a Houston Texans jersey. I love them. It's pretty dope. I especially love the red ones. The white one is cool. I wish they went all white with white helmets, but it's doable. The H helmet I want to say it's a colorless helmet that often I think it's a cult. I want to say the color of Jersey. I'm assuming the uniform that's navy blue with the H on it. It's pretty cool. Um, I love them Jersey. I think I would, out of ten, I give it a what? Seven and a half eight? Not a town that says the best Jersey in the fail. It's actually not the worst.

Speaker 2:

What the Texans just had for these 20 years, for what that shit represented and who was the owner, and that history of the Texans Is wiped away. The only damn thing we missing now is a new stadium. That's it. But that jersey that we had since 2002 Was a bottom three NFL jersey. So no, I'm glad they got a new regime, new era that's. All this means is H-Town Hell, we've seen it this year. It's a new life in Houston. It's a new DJ inside the stadium. That never happened. You know what I'm saying? D'amico runs that coach. That's a coach says the new gene, new era. I like it a lot. What you think?

Speaker 1:

I mean it was pretty cool too. I just seen some comments saying that that looked like those madden franchise jerseys when you move to london, the black knights. It kind of looks like an upgraded version of that, but it was. It was cool. To me, loki, it wasn't that bad.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and, like I said, it's 8 out of 10 at the best.

Speaker 1:

However, you want to look at it, I would say 8 too. If you talk to a lot of fans in Houston, they'll say probably a 10 because that's the second iteration of the jerseys they've seen. But really that's pretty fair.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's pretty good. I like them. I would damn sure bomb. I might get a custom made. I don't know I'm making my name on it.

Speaker 1:

I don't know you might as well get it custom made. I might get the back.

Speaker 2:

That's what I'm thinking. I gotta see which color, though. Um, here's the fun part. We want to shift gears, to tick tock fan engagement. This is probably, um, something new. This will be something that I will be doing in the future, because there there's a lot of engagement on social media. Like I said, I want to thank y'all again. That's on Tik TOK. If you're not on Tik TOK right now, you're not following RDWA podcast. You're going to get a lot of content from the podcast, the content we do with UFM TV, uh, everything. That's all the content you still want to get on Instagram At underscore underscore RDWA. If you want to follow UFM TV. I might get this wrong, but it's UFM, it's got to be underscore.

Speaker 1:

The underscore is at the end UFM.

Speaker 2:

TV underscore.

Speaker 1:

It's close, though it's close.

Speaker 2:

Just type in UFM TV and it should pop up. It's the only one on there.

Speaker 2:

You're going to see all the engagement. I want to and I want to give y'all a thank you because y'all even though some of the comments is crazy, wild, funny keep coming with the comments. Q&a is gonna be in the future, but we got some. We been watching. Now y'all be. I see what y'all been saying, so y'all think we just gonna post and I'm not gonna see the shit. That's what y'all thought. Oh no, this is the part we call y'all asses out. We seen them comments, cuz we know I got a few in my phone. This might be you.

Speaker 1:

I got a few to myself and I I don't know whether to call the laws or laugh, but it was pretty wild.

Speaker 2:

First one Username Dirt McGirt. Dude who picked AI needs to be beat with a bag of dirty nickels. That's you, wilson. He's talking about you, hey.

Speaker 1:

A bag of dirty nickels is crazy. What does that even look?

Speaker 2:

like Look, that was the cult one from the handles. That was the AI Harden, kyrie Jamal Crawford. That was the AI Harden, kyrie Jamal Crawford. I was under that. I've seen that Dirk McGirt. But that is a good question. I don't know what that means hit with a bag of dirty nickels, you can tell he's probably from the country or something.

Speaker 1:

Lives in a traffic trailer or something.

Speaker 2:

This gotta be Knoxville, tennessee, shit.

Speaker 1:

What's his profile picture? Has?

Speaker 2:

none.

Speaker 1:

The J, that's it.

Speaker 2:

So it's always the ones that we peep that don't have no name. They got some weird shit. It's not their face, but we've seen that dirt, we've seen that.

Speaker 1:

Before you move on, can I have the liberty of saying this next one having to do with me, since we're on the subject.

Speaker 2:

What will?

Speaker 1:

happen. So there was a comment by a Mike Henderson that said you need to lose him as a friend ASAP. Take him to the hood and let him get his first DP.

Speaker 2:

What are you talking about? What's DP? Do you really want me to say it on air? I don't know what the fuck is a DP it?

Speaker 1:

means double penetration. A man said I should go to the hood and let me get DP'd in front of a bunch of other men. Tick Tock is crazy as hell.

Speaker 2:

It's an.

Speaker 1:

AI one.

Speaker 2:

This is towards me, you, you, you been getting a lot.

Speaker 1:

That's perfectly fine. I mean, if y'all stuck with this house it has me.

Speaker 2:

Let's talk about this quickly mm-hmm a uh, jamal Crawford, kyrie James? The obvious answer should be James, but you want to be different and pick Allen Iverson. Why?

Speaker 1:

It's not really too different. I mean, you're comparing somebody whose handles was bucked from the 90s to guys now that kind of revolutionized the style of dribbling and, like Durlo said in the cut, one that AI mostly carried and they kind of had to put a rule on it because people were putting the ball below the ball instead of on top of it, and also this man didn't have a left hand. So how do you consider somebody who's the best handles on that list but every time he goes left he pulls up for a jumper?

Speaker 2:

So what you're telling me is that you're penalizing this man for being born in the area he was in.

Speaker 1:

I'm not penalizing him because, mind you, I never disrespected Buddy. I said multiple times in that video it's nothing personal and I grew up with AI too, with the i3 headband, all that. But compared to those guys, they're better than AI at this point with the kind of handles, and that's just evolution. Jamal Crawford you can't put AI over him because he has a way of moves. Kyrie Irving he's untouchable at that point.

Speaker 2:

No, you can't touch him. You really can't. I'd be down if somebody were to put him in the comments. I would have called their ass out. That's not happening. Exactly, you ain't cutting, kyrie.

Speaker 1:

Irving and Harden. He just has a deeper bag handles-wise in AI because, like I mentioned, he created a whole new move for hoopers with that little two-step step back and shit. Nobody the same for AI, but it was just a simple crossover. And one other thing too when he crossed up Ty Lue during the NBA Finals, he fell down after the jumper, not the cross itself, yeah. So I mean y'all can say what y'all want, but I had some NBA players not going to say no names for the sake of the show. They told me they agreed with my pick. So I mean, if I got that, I ain't got nothing to worry about.

Speaker 2:

I mean, if I got that I ain't nothing to worry about, but y'all, y'all go off though. This was under that, so this was under the cut one. Movies with boys in the hood, paid in full menace to society, and juice this is from. I got it on me 1100 cut juice. These dudes must be footed from the east or something, instead of for its from by no typo, it works. Um, so let's do, let's debunk this, so you will film. And real do to kill podcast, and also the easy corner podcast. We're based in houston, texas. So I know we've been seeing a lot of theories. That was the only comment we've seen, but that one just. You know, I just took that one. But we've seen comments before that thinking that we're from the east coast. But no, we're based in houston, texas. We all went to we, we went to texas southern university, hbcu. So yeah, has to just get, get that out the way. All right, here we go. Another one from vegeta. This was under the Cut 1, classic Albums with Carter 3, miseducation of the Lone Hill Blueprint and All Eyes on Me. Fun fact Lauren didn't write that album and got sued for it. She gets praised for having only one solo album. She didn't even write that album, gotta go. So he preaching.

Speaker 2:

Well, there's a thing like I've said before to people, I'm not looking at this biography catalog, another. We're just talking about classic albums and what that and what that did for hip-hop to impact. So when you name a, when you have a mount rushmore of anything, especially for hip-hop albums, it's going to be subjective, it's going to be something that nobody's going to ever agree on. But majority of people, most people's going to agree on Miseducation and Lauryn Hill being one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. Not looking at who wrote, who did this, who no, from what the album stood for, know, from what the album stills with that album stood for. Nobody looked at lauren hill and said, hey, she's bar for bar, better than the mc light or queen latifah. But for her with the fiji's and getting that solo album at that time in 98, I think that was one of the best albums. So even though she didn't write it, we're not going, I'm not going to penalize her for for that, and then she won a grammy for that as well. Um, so yeah, lauren hill, that that definitely stays for sure.

Speaker 2:

This is a funny one from killer cam and this is one of the times I have to comment back on somebody because I was just in the mood. I'm not really in the mood to comment like that, especially on tiktok with so many comments coming in, but but I have to comment. This was about the Cut 1 mixtape with Five Night Lights, section 80, so Far Gone. Four people to never ask questions about music, crying, laughing emojis. I was in the mood this day. I said so well, what are you cutting? Then? Smart guy, he has the nerve to cut Five Night Lights, says he was following five night lights. So he's talking about four people to not ask questions about music, but yet proceed. Yeah, you know I'm gonna cut five night lights he agreed with me I bet his reason is not like yours, though.

Speaker 2:

Your reason is just the fact you haven't went back to it. Right, right, it's equivalent to if I go to my nephew who's 27, and he don't think Pimp Butterfly is all that. I ask him, like yo, when last you heard Pimp Butterfly when it first came out? When it came out, he was 18.

Speaker 1:

So how the hell am I?

Speaker 2:

supposed to listen to that? You know. No, you can't. It's not the same. Come back to me when you're 25. But then again, at the same time too, when it comes to aging music, I was 18, and before that I knew about some of the greats in the 80s Run, dmc, ll Cool J. I did my research Hell, I'm a temptation guy. So at some point we got to. So At some point we gotta debunk that age shit. Y'all just gotta do y'all. History, gen Z.

Speaker 1:

Damn. I felt that in my soul, god damn.

Speaker 2:

TJ. I forgot which video this was. I love this. Folks are having real conversations, tj. I appreciate you, brother, because we are living in a time right now and I can't remember when I started this podcast Back in 2017, when I started this podcast back in 2017.

Speaker 2:

When I started this podcast back in 2017, people, when I used to tell people I got a podcast, it was like, oh my God, wow, really, really, what is it about? They fascinated, they enthused, they want to know, they curious. You tell a person in 2024, black, male or female, black person, whatever hey, I got a podcast. The response is now another one. Look at this Really. You again, you one of them. Huh, that's what you do, what you talk about. 50-50?. That's what we, that's how it's perceived now versus when I started seven years ago. So, yes, that's the whole point of the UFM TV, the whole UFM brand. Real Deal with the Q. We talk about real conversations, this podcast right here. Real conversations, real people, culture talk, everything that's happening sports music, news, entertainment, whatever. You're going to get all of that Fan engagement, everything. Easy Corner Podcast top high school music, news, entertainment, whatever. You're going to get all of that Fan engagement, everything. Easy Corner Podcast Top high school athletes in the state of Texas and around the nation Football, basketball, whoever. In my humble opinion that's under UFM. That's Randall Wilson. Yes, the same guy that said Rob Wilson's better than Deion Sanders. That is going to be on real conversations sports, everything.

Speaker 2:

Here's another one. Y'all coming with the comments k-dot, I don't think y'all know basketball for real and it shows y'all stuck with old times. Ai is not a better bar handler than any of these guys, but he was the best for his time. I don't know how to respond to that one K-Dot. He got me stuck. Well, this is what I'll say At that time is he a better bar handler than Kyrie Irving? No, a, I would tell you that shit. Kyrie Irving already was the greatest bar handler of all time. Jamal Crawford, I mean, you can go there with that.

Speaker 2:

I'm just going to say James Harden, I would have to cut out of those four because of I feel like it's not, as it's going to sound crazy. I'm not saying James Harden on that, a great ball handler. I understand, step back, the ISO, blah, whatever. Doing all that shit. Him with the step back, that's cool.

Speaker 2:

You know what I ain't got to get? All and a little fuck, I'm a nigga. Now I'm with AI. I'm for the culture. That's why I ain't got to do all this analytical bullshit before this.

Speaker 2:

Who did this? No, motherfucker, I'm an AI fan. I don't give a damn. Yes, I'm not cutting AI. Sorry, I'm not getting analytical. I don't know why. I tried to get technical just now. It's like yo bro, fuck nigga, you grew up in that era. Yes, I'm not cutting AI and I'm from Houston. And yes, I'm not the biggest James Harden fan. And, yes, I feel like I still hold a grudge because he blew it in 2018 against the motherfucking Warriors, when Chris Paul got hurt and we was up 3-2. And all of a sudden, chris Paul goes down. Now it's time to step up and be that guy, because Jordan would have did it, kobe would have did it, d-way would have did it, ai would have done it and stepped up and won that series. So stepped up and won that series. So, yes, I'm pissed so that all that gibbling shit he did didn't work.

Speaker 1:

so, no, I'm not cutting ai, I'm cutting harden. So seeing harden that cut one just kind of reopened old wounds to a sense I'm gonna say on camera this is just.

Speaker 2:

It's not anything serious. Fuck him, I'm not.

Speaker 1:

No, no, no I'm not, no, no bro.

Speaker 2:

No, if he won the championship and the handles Got him to the championship, fine Maybe, but no, cause All them handles Didn't do nothing for us, so it was one dimension. All he did was Dribble from the top Of the key Shit and AI just carried. And AI ain't do all that. That's what I'm just saying. That was fan engagement from tick tock man. I appreciate y'all. Love y'all. Keep the comments rolling. We're gonna move forward with a new segment. Here's the real, here's the deal. So there's been a lot of things happening, um, and this is the segment where we just talk about some of the top things that's going around, top stories, top coverages, just around the world, the nation or whatever. What's what we got?

Speaker 1:

So for the first one, we have Joe Biden passing a capital gains bill that shaves forty four point six percent of every business investment. The previous rate for business owners and billionaires was 8.2, so we're talking about a marginal increase from then to now. So let's say and this is knock on wood, let's say hypothetically real deal with a killer. Ufm TV gets a big investment, a big bag. We have to shave half of that and give that to Uncle Sam to make a long story short.

Speaker 2:

I mean if I make quarter, if I make twenty, fifty thousand dollars in one year, I got to give half of that, basically, and that's across the country If you make a certain net income.

Speaker 1:

Either it's a business move or an investment. You have to shave nearly half of that to Uncle Sam. And do you know what that money is mostly going to? To fund this Israel war.

Speaker 2:

That's why I never understand war. That's why I hate war. That's why I hate war, because I'm already if I lived in california, I'm already suffering with the tax. So what happens to the states when there's no state income tax? Then, like texas, florida, honestly, I think tiktok's still gonna be here, like I've always. Like I've said before that all america want to do is have control over it. That's the last social, that's the last big social media app that america doesn't have control over. They had control over myspace, they had control over facebook, had control over twitter, instagram, snapchat. They just want control over TikTok. That's just my opinion.

Speaker 2:

I don't think TikTok is ever going to be banned and shut down forever. Make too much money and, like you told me before, they got hella booths. When you go to arenas, games, sponsors, tiktok is everywhere. Yeah, they had a booth at the Super Bowl as well. So, worst case scenario, it shuts. Tiktok is everywhere. Yeah, they had a booth at the Super Bowl as well. So, worst case scenario, it shuts off and it shuts down. In America, it stays out. The other countries, but you just got to get a VPN. Basically.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

And pay a subscription.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, pretty much, which half of the American people do anyway, especially for live streaming. So there's always loopholes around this. So what's the real, what's really the truth?

Speaker 2:

so, to sum everything up, tiktok is never going anywhere. Basically, yeah, just pay for vpn monthly and you're fine. Why the fuck america, why the fuck did the government can't just say that? I understand, I know, I know they can't say it.

Speaker 1:

Whatever what we got next uh, this one is a local one. So the deal about turkey leg cut and the oyster hut oh yeah, you got. Yeah, it's a tightrope right here. I ain't saying nothing. This is all.

Speaker 2:

You, my brother what do I start? All right, so I will just say this to close the show Um, I don't know these people personally. I don't know the owner, the own, uh, the two people that owns. Well, lynn, and I forgot the lady's name. God bless me.

Speaker 2:

Forgive me, um, but just going off of such off of things I'm hearing and reading on the news, um, it's like one big ass soap opera that's happening. Every week there's something he gets kicked off the property of turkey leg hood and he goes make oyster hood and oyster hood has a situation with the guy that has the sauce and him. There was an article this week that said he left a man unconscious back in February. It's just so much. And I think what happens now? If you're a person that wants to start a business restaurant, club, store, whatever this is literally the blueprint of what not to do when you start a business. That's why a lot of that's why sometimes it's very hard to run a business with family or close friends because of situations like this. Um, it's possible that it could be successful, but when you're a couple of on that magnitude, everybody's in your business, everybody has something to say. We go to articles which we know is true that they didn't pay employees. They not paying employees with everything that's happening, you start to think to yourself that incident that happened in I want to say 2020, or 2021, I might have got one year's mixed up when 5015 had that explosion and the whole patio went to shits. You go back to that and you remember that the owner of 5015, steve Rogers, had a dispute or some type of lawsuit towards the owners of 5050 Turkey Leg Hut. And then the next day, bam, that shit happens. You think about the office of Turk Laird Hutt. What they do, they filing in taxes or HR shit is in flames. Somebody's an Arsenal expert I can say that shit, somebody. But you start to think to yourself it's like what's really happening. So that's why I say it's this one big soap opera.

Speaker 2:

That was here's the Deal, here's the Real. That was the Real. Do it or Kill podcast. Man listen show. Yes, thank you. Real Do it or Kill show. I'm never going to say podcast again because of everything else. So what's happening? But it is a show, tune in, subscribe forward and share, do whatever. Just know that we are going to cover every goddamn thing moving forward. So real, do it kill UFM TV we out.
