Village Vets: When Belief Becomes Big Business

A late start, a lot of laughter—and then straight to the heart of it. Culture keeps changing, but the receipts don’t. We walk into a sneaker convention expecting grails and story-rich classics, only to find last-week releases wearing heavyweight price tags. That disconnect between old-school collecting and hype-driven flipping sets the tone for the night: what happens when community turns into a marketplace and nostalgia runs into the algorithm?

From there, we tackle a prickly question with zero varnish: why do Black men date outside their race? No viral shortcuts, no grand theories—just reality. Attraction sparks it, proximity shapes it, and money and stability complicate it. Case by case, preference is real and context matters.

The conversation pivots through sports media and performance—Stephen A. Smith as swagger, symbol, and spectacle—before taking its sharpest turn of the night. **Druski’s church skit opens the door to a deeper look at the mega-church money machine. We break down Joel Osteen’s stadium-sized operation to unpack nonprofit status, tithes, accountability, and power—pastors as unregistered politicians, faith as a business model, and the tax code as a quiet stagehand.

That scrutiny extends to entertainment power, too. Tyler Perry’s Atlanta studio—Hollywood-scale ownership on Southern soil—becomes a case study in opportunity, leverage, and backlash when you build a city within a city and rent your White House set to the biggest films in the world.

We close on home turf with the Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Falcons. Are the Hawks finally building a defensive identity that sticks? Can Atlanta attract and keep the right stars? And with Matt Ryan stepping into leadership, will the Falcons find steady direction—or just nostalgia in a suit? We even cast our vote for Mike Tomlin’s tone-setting over flash.

We wrap with Black History Expo plans and a throwback party vibe. Tap play, share it with a friend, and tell us your take. If this episode made you laugh or hit a nerve, subscribe, rate, and drop a review—we’re building this with you.

unknown 14:19

Come on.

SPEAKER_05 14:19

So, Rooster, let me ask you this. Big revenge. He did, I get it.

SPEAKER_04 14:22

Rue, let me ask you a quick question. What up though? Why do you think black men date outside their race? Oh no, I got a video to play for that. Oh, we're gonna play that one first.

SPEAKER_07 14:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 14:32

Why do black men date outside their race? Yeah, don't answer. Yeah, I'm gonna let I wanna let this this woman tell why, and then then we respond to it. Nah, Steve Smith VSP, here we go. I think people look too I think people look in too deep into that.

Sizing, Prices, And Hype Culture

SPEAKER_03 14:48

Hold on, listen. Listen to what you're doing.

SPEAKER_04 15:51

I couldn't hear shit.

SPEAKER_00 15:58

Oh, long story short, she was uh saying words to the effect that um one of the biggest reasons that black men date uh other women is because all the women in the world love black men.

SPEAKER_03 16:12

Why can't we just the bitch look good and let's just keep it at that? Don't want to and just stop right there. What's wrong with that?

SPEAKER_00 16:21

Uh because when when when people think about, you know right, that's about that.

SPEAKER_03 16:26

I think that'd be people's problem, like trying to figure something out that ain't nothing there to figure out. Like she looked good, and it is as simple as that.

SPEAKER_00 16:34

Because families and families used to not be like be like that. They were arranged, and it was about uh strengthening the family and preserving the bloodline and adding to the family. So uh you start you start from a place of building a family versus finding a mate, then society changed and it became finding a mate, and there are a lot of people who still have those those desires that you marry to strengthen your family.

SPEAKER_05 17:05

I mean I feel like I mean it's true.

SPEAKER_04 17:07

But what that's like that's jumping. I was like, we just dating. That ain't trying, we ain't trying to start no family. I'm just dating, is it? I mean, most people, the bitch gotta look good, right? I mean, depends on that look good.

SPEAKER_06 17:24

She got some bread, if she got a little bumble back there, you would make it if she got some bread, she look good.

SPEAKER_04 17:30

You said so many. But I'm saying if she got a little bread, then that ain't that can change up a lot of stuff. She ain't gotta be just fine. She ain't gotta be, you know, she can be 220 something. If she got some bread, that might change up a bunch of stuff.

SPEAKER_05 17:46

She still looks good, she got some bread. Yeah, I mean, you may you got shallow.

SPEAKER_04 17:51

So I said about say for me, if you know, if it comes like that, hey man, sometimes you gotta make exceptions on it. Personally, that's me. Can't nobody just have the 220. How old did you say 220? What we talking about? I'm saying, but I'm saying the girl, I'm missing with a girl. She damn near 205, she weighed as much as I did. Yeah, see, I don't want no, I don't I'm I don't want that. I'm not saying it's not attractive. I'm saying it's yeah, yeah, that's cool. You six five, I'm 5'11. I mean she was about 6'3. What am I gonna do with something six three? So ain't Kevin Hartwright calling him.

SPEAKER_00 18:40

Yeah, well, he's a midget. Excuse me, a short person. But she got it, she got him by. You can't call him in no more. Huh?

SPEAKER_03 18:49

You can't call him midges no more can you.

SPEAKER_04 18:52

No, I think I call them like little people or something. I I people the M word is not tolerated.

unknown 19:01

Oh god.

SPEAKER_04 19:03

But so I'm gonna have you believe what's is that your is that your opinion on that? Man, I think it's a combination of things.

SPEAKER_00 19:09

It's it's some of it is like what Rue is saying, like, bro, it's not even that deep. Like, so for some people it's I'm attracted to you, you're attracted to me, we start dating and then we go from there and it turns and it could turn into something. Uh, I think for some people it's proximity, like who are you around? You know what I mean? Like, there are more black men who marry inside of their race than outside of their race. It's just the black men that we see more often aren't married to women inside of their race, but also how many women are inside of their race are they around as peers? You know what I mean? Like they talk about the the football players. Oh, you how many white girls? Have you been to a big college campus man?

SPEAKER_01 19:51

What's you know what I mean? Like, even if you even if you and the black girls, bro, like you may just get involved with this white chick because they're there. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 20:00

You done spent four years right around the same person the whole time. Yeah, that makes a bunch of sense.

SPEAKER_00 20:05

And then also, yeah, bro, like I done I've been out in the country before. I I see how we're treated. So I think shit, nigga, I can't say how shit I'm here outside my race.

SPEAKER_04 20:15

So you do feel like that that whole little stance is for the most part, it is accurate.

SPEAKER_00 20:22

It's just whatever you want. It's opinion-based because everybody is different, and everybody goes into these things with look looking for something different. So to try to generalize why people make certain decisions, yes, you get good enough people to get some type of understanding, but even if you get a larger understanding, it doesn't describe why each person made those decisions.

SPEAKER_03 20:45

So case by case, this is a case by case scenario. For the most part, yeah. But I think 90% of the cases, hey man, she looks good.

SPEAKER_00 20:57

Nah, I think 90 is a high number for that.

SPEAKER_03 21:00

You say 95.

SPEAKER_05 21:03

I'm personally saying it's gonna be 50, she look good. And my other my other 50 is she got some bread or she got some. Because again, if she's not just overall drop dead, fine, whoop-de-woop. Personally, me is gonna like you, you I guess you can eventually find something that y'all got in common, but if after all, if it's not that and y'all ain't trying to work for that, it's he's gotta be fine, you gotta ask money.

SPEAKER_04 21:27

Personally, me just being real, 50-50, I guess. On my end.

SPEAKER_03 21:34

What what a oh do people date? I mean, yeah, that's that's what it is. That's what you that's what you that's what gets your attention, ain't it? Damn, she looked good. Don't nobody say, damn, she looked good. I wonder what her personality like.

SPEAKER_06 21:53

I don't know nobody that's gonna say that.

SPEAKER_03 21:56

If they do say that, you know, then now we looking at them like this nigga, bruh. When he when he walk out, nigga tapping you on the leg, like bro, get your boy, bro. Who who man's is this?

SPEAKER_01 22:06

What's wrong with being curious about a personality?

SPEAKER_04 22:10

That comes with it. That comes with it. You gotta first you gotta go, but I really don't know. If she gets the look, she got the look.

SPEAKER_03 22:20

Nigga like me don't give a fuck. Do she look good or not? I know if she gets on your nerves, like damn, like I don't know how to play the game and just you know, ignore that stupid shit.

SPEAKER_00 22:29

But yeah, yeah, no, yeah, it it starts with do you look good, right?

Why Black Men Date Outside Their Race

SPEAKER_03 22:39

That's what this is and then basically you got some niggas that my fault, but you know, what you look good, do you what your feet look like, what your hand look like, you got titties, you got ass, like you know what you like, what you like.

SPEAKER_04 22:51

Yeah, do you look good? How are you built? And then everything else becomes a sliding scale. I can dig it. I can dig it, I can go for that one.

SPEAKER_02 23:01

Yeah, that's still going my same way. But what was that you said about uh Stephen A?

SPEAKER_05 23:06

Uh we ain't got time. I want to see what was it about. I think all them black women trying to jump out.

SPEAKER_00 23:20

Do we say it? I mean, I I I think the people are right for calling him out, but his defenses are valid, but now I'm judging his intentions that I don't know. I just, you know, I'm not a fan of Steve Smith VSPN. Brother can't see his name is his name is Steve Stephen A. Stephen A.

SPEAKER_04 23:41

Excuse me, Stephen A.

SPEAKER_00 23:43

Stephen A. Smith of VSPN.

SPEAKER_04 23:45

His name ain't Steve, his name ain't Steve. I said Stephen A.

SPEAKER_05 23:50

Smith of VSPN. No, I didn't become a fan of Stephen A.

SPEAKER_02 23:55

That's why I said I didn't when I was sitting over there listening to the thing, I didn't know what everybody was so upset about.

SPEAKER_05 24:00

But then again, I also didn't know how many, how many other women felt like that.

SPEAKER_03 24:07

I wasn't a fan of him, and then I really didn't become a fan of him. I went to the Knicks game last year, and he was walking off the court. And if y'all would have seen the way he was walking and the way he was trutting, like he dropped 30.

SPEAKER_06 24:18

SPEAKER_01 41:24

Cause you know they're not gonna be able to do that no no no, but I'm saying because because like to to skirt around the tax code, right? You know, I mean they go they go a big portion in church that you can report that you donated, right?

SPEAKER_00 41:36

And now Joe can distribute that money however he pleases.

SPEAKER_05 41:42

SPEAKER_00 41:52

Okay. So just like if you like you get up to so much in donations per year, I'm I'm I don't speak tax code. This is just what I just basically know. Yeah, so you can just use that with your donation. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 42:04

SPEAKER_04 42:29

Or you do these charities or these events for me. So I meant as uh keep that little fit, that's for you. But you write me a check for that one. I can't preach a preacher. A preacher, a preacher is an unregistered politician. That's all a preacher is an unregistered politician.

SPEAKER_00 42:50

SPEAKER_04 43:52

You know, why the church has to reach up the 501c3? These folks giving their money to God and they should be able to that church should be able to decide where that money goes without the government sticking their grubby hands in there and seeing what's going on. No, they bigger than God in America. He said some crazy shit.

Another one that came out, but I believe that I ain't gonna say, and I don't want to say it like that because I don't want to ever you know try to diminish another black man out here, but I've always said that I feel like between ever since that TDJ story came out, and then uh and Tom, I feel like they they two are the same people, realistically, bro. I feel like they they two are the same, two big freaks to dress up with all the other stuff and you know get to get to preach the word, I guess, whenever it's convenient for them.

SPEAKER_04 48:57

Man, he man, Tyler Perry, man. He just what's that's a real rag the riches story right there, in it?

SPEAKER_05 49:06

Yeah, yeah, to a certain extent. But even then, it's like he didn't. I feel like he was gonna sound shitty. This is gonna sound kind of shitty. I feel like Tyler Perry got bigger than what he was because he did that dressing up as a woman shit for the longest. He made that cool. And I mean, don't get it twisted. I don't know if y'all ever watched the Madea, but I ain't never enjoyed a Madea.

SPEAKER_04 49:29

I ain't gonna like Madea. I think he just got big because he does his own, he he does his shit. I mean, I get you don't, but he's doing it inside the church as well.

SPEAKER_05 49:36

He's getting all that money coming from there, and he's dressing up as a black woman. I feel like that's the thing, that's where all that shit's spiraling from. It's he getting Bill's name up in the church, he's getting a plate of dominant black woman that is because we have if you went to Mouse, you seen a bunch of Madeas in Mount Zion, respectfully, like it's a bunch of aggressive older women who yell, fuss, and cuss, and then you know, whenever it's convenient for them, they want to be sweet again, and and that's okay, but it's just it was so relatable, it was so relatable to I guess quote unquote the black family because we done seen that for so long. And the white family like to laugh at exactly because it's a black man dressed up as a woman playing like he just a you know, but but also he had a a great business model, he owned everything.

SPEAKER_03 50:24

That's all that's all I was saying.

SPEAKER_00 50:27

He went and got uh half-being actors and actresses and put him in these movies that ended up doing numbers, so he stacked him on money, then he built the studio. And what I think happened is right now. Let's just think about this.

SPEAKER_04 50:40

You're a billionaire, you own it he could be compete with Hollywood, put it like that. Yeah, he's competing with Hollywood. So you already know how Hollywood feels about anybody competing with him. You got them.

SPEAKER_00 50:52

Then with the COVID stuff, a lot of stuff came to Atlanta and left Hollywood. You know, you had the little exodus, so you got this stuff going on.

SPEAKER_01 50:59

Now you're the billionaire who owns the studio. You got the replica of the White House, and anytime somebody put the White House in a movie, they come into your studio. So you know, you get paid, you gotta be a good one.

SPEAKER_03 51:08

Yeah, whenever they're not, whenever they ain't filming in LA, that's where they filming it.

SPEAKER_04 51:12

Bingo, and then like they I I read that Secret Service to actually use Solid Paris Studios to train, you know what I mean? So you got all this going on. You see you a nice like people pay to use that shit. Exactly. He rent shit out too, right? But you see a nice little piece of ass out there, right?

SPEAKER_00 51:29

You own this studio, you got all these movies, these shows. You can put that little piece of tail in there, just keep them close, you know, give them a little money, but you ain't paying them straight up, and you I uh his problem is you too big for that pause.

SPEAKER_04 51:43

Put it like this. How much do you think? How much do you think Disney paid him to shoot Black Panther there?

SPEAKER_03 51:48

What was that like a 20 million dollar budget movie or something?

SPEAKER_04 51:51

The problem was way more, way more thing more than that. Way more a big box. I'm just saying, but he did way more than that. I'm just saying a big a big like that, the guy.

SPEAKER_05 52:03

He probably he probably got at least Tyler Perry probably got a 20 million 20 in food. I'm saying Black Panther's budget was good. Oh, that's why I'm saying I know it was way more than that, but I'm saying he probably got 200 for them just to come to his spot and do all that. Because I mean shit, it took him probably about three months, huh?

SPEAKER_04 52:21

To film shit, probably a year. No, I'm saying like they ain't gonna sell that the whole time. I'm just talking about as long as they have they flew in Black Panther in Atlanta. I know that.

SPEAKER_06 52:33

I know that, but I'm saying they wasn't on Tyler Perry's lot, uh they was out there uh in uh damn uh they do they do you do you do few things, you do a few scenes outside, but most of them shit be green screen, you know what I'm saying? Like green room or shit like that.

SPEAKER_04 52:52

I don't know if he did it. I don't think they did the whole thing inside of Talapper.

SPEAKER_06 52:55

I know most of the movies with African backgrounds, so you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05 53:01

I mean, if you look at if you look at Kennesaw for real mean shit, most of that woods. I mean, it's you know something you see in the woods and the fucking uh the the waterfall shit. That didn't know what was going on with what you seen. That's where the fight scene was at. When they got fighting with him and uh uh uh Michael B. Jordan, they got to fight in Kennesaw, right in the damn uh in the uh Red Train.

SPEAKER_04 53:26

It's that little it's a little mountain, you know, the the little mountain mountain, not Kennesaw Mountain, it's like you're talking about the battlefield, but I'm gonna go the battlefield, yeah. I think that was green in a I think that was in the green room, dude. They on a they on a mountain and shit, so I think that was in a green room. Nah, that was up that thieves up there. Oh you know how thieves up there on that little mountain. No, I don't know. That's a hill.
