Speaker 1

The cubby podcast. Hi, Ron Lewis. The door open. Oh,

Speaker 2

They was, they was like sitting on the open door

Speaker 1

With the eight days.

Speaker 3

That is crazy.

Speaker 2

You know, this is the problem with being on video.

Speaker 3

I'm gonna tell you the bad part about it is look how deep I got into t he I'm from New York, long Island, long Island, N ew York. We got another guy f rom t he B ronx. I'll tell you like Jamie. H e f rom he from Orlando, Florida.

Speaker 2

Yo, you didn't. I thought you saw, I dropped some this morning, right? Honestly, it's just me speaking for 45 minutes.

Speaker 3

Just me speaking about this.

Speaker 2

How y'all living in it though. Like what's the UN like one of the major cities, you know what I mean? Detroit, ain't nothing to play with. Nothing to sneeze a t.

Speaker 3

It's kind of hard not to not hear about it. That's about it. I don't know anybody that has really affected here or that beat up here. Huh?

Speaker 2

That's said that's somebody's cousin. Ain't it? Somebody's cousin got arrested.

Speaker 3

I thought it was somebody's cousin. Somebody, them they get out.

Speaker 2

Yeah, man. Be careful. Be careful with the protesting man.

Speaker 3

Okay.

Speaker 2

Yeah. Be careful with the protests, man. I may not to send an Ana and uh, they was getting a little violent, you know, I'm not about that life. No more. I'm washed. So I was out there. I was out there showing support and as Susan, they got a little dog. I was like, right. Yo, I'm out. I'm out.

Speaker 3

Okay.

Speaker 2

4:30 PM. What time you woke up?

Speaker 3

Yeah. 10:00 AM. It's called a coma. That's called a coma little sleep for like 17 hours naked. The. Was you okay?

Speaker 2

Yeah. I'm out here getting slow, man. I'm doing CrossFit every day. Let's say yo, if I'm gonna lose my job, as long as my body. Right. I'm good. You see what I'm saying? That's my bad.

Speaker 3

That's

Speaker 2

How I made it. Make sense. Like if I'm gonna lose this right now, I'm going to come out or come out on somebody on top of something. I'm going to be good.

Speaker 3

I don't really think it would be

Speaker 2

Wherever you want it over. Just in the park. So what'd you do today? What'd you do when it is a little bit of squats. It's Tuesday. Yeah. I'm going to have about four hours of squats in about four hours.

Speaker 3

Anybody get crazier. So

Speaker 2

Yo what's up, everybody get those stimulus checks.

Speaker 3

Oh yeah. I got that

Speaker 2

.

Speaker 3

Yo. Nah, I'm not going to lie to you

Speaker 2

When they put it into my account to take it out because I don't know what to s ay i t. I think I probably saved it. To be honest with you. I c ould go back in the records, but k nowing m e, I probably stashed it somewhere. I probably put it in like a third bank account t hat I don't even look at i t.

Speaker 3

It's done now. You know, kinda forgetting about COVID.

Speaker 2

Can we really right now? Can we really forget about COVID? This is just a new topic. I honestly feel like this is just me, man. It's just gives, this is me man. I'm thinking they just making black people go outside so we can get sick.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 2

Yeah. There's a couple, a lot of Spanish people.

Speaker 3

That's a lot of they're passing our waters and snacks. That's Noah.

Speaker 2

No, they got to that's what they're good at? They do it on the marathon.

Speaker 3

Runs, pass out

Speaker 2

That little water, that little bottle. That's what they're good at.

Speaker 3

I should have been on that. Where were you at? You was in the middle. I was walking. You don't ever walk into the protest. Everybody know that and you tie it,

Speaker 2

But you see if the family safe. So that really matter, man, everything else just Man, I was just speaking to my conscious thought. So to me, I feel as though my huge thing is that this generation is very fad as centric. And I don't like that. We move on too quick from certain things and people know that. So right now it is a revolutionary time we're loop and we're doing things like that. But what comes after? What comes next? What are we doing after this? Are we voting? Are we putting things in progress or are we just going to go back to the money, to the air sort of mentality and move forward? That's a, that's a huge problem that I think I have read. A lot of the activism that goes on today is that the big difference in the past revolutions was that there was a commitment to family and steadfastness. And we knew who we were. I think there's a lot of outreach that happens now that people just drawing at straws in order to make a, a claim to something that they're not really passionate about. So I hope a lot of people are passionate about this, but I think we're allowed to fat ecentric. So I went around that. I'm going around just my, my whole concept of my view coming from where I'm coming from, living in Irvine, which is a whole different thing, bro. Like I'm not even in the thickest, no model. You see what I'm saying? Like I can honestly see it.

Speaker 3

Yeah. Hear here, bro.

Speaker 2

It's not like for you to leave and go back to it. You already know I'm sitting here and feet up. I don't hear no

Speaker 3

Sirens at night.

Speaker 2

Like the loudest thing I hear is my pool being filled with.

Speaker 3

Think about this.

Speaker 2

That's the loudest I h ear at night. My pool being filled with chlorine water.

Speaker 3

Hey,

Speaker 2

Hold on. I need to get a chance to see it in my head.. I have a downer

Speaker 3

Down.

Speaker 2

She looked like Lisa left eye Lopez right there.

Speaker 3

Gotcha.

Speaker 2

Well you talking about, I like it, bro. I think yo, you gotta be active if you're not active as a shorty, like I don't really want to be around you. You gotta look good with the, the head tie in the Sundre.

Speaker 3

You can't even say my name. You can't even let him on Tyro.

Speaker 2

You can't even call on Tyrone. You look good in a head-on and a Sundre.

Speaker 3

Listen, man, don't disrespect me. Don't

Speaker 2

Disrespect me. That's what I meant.

Speaker 3

That's what I mean. That means you would clean up and go to brunch. One, o ne, one quick swoop. Just fix your hair.

Speaker 2

You can go to brunch and clean up. Hold on, wait a minute. What time is it? Two I'm ready. That's what I like to see you. Good man. March on

Speaker 3

Or anybody saying I'm crazy?

Speaker 2

Nah, Irvine is safer than condoms. Wrong. Ain't nothing wrong with Irvine, b ro.

Speaker 3

You got it.

Speaker 2

And they just don't even know is going on. I'm the only one saying black power. I walk outside black power. Th ey b e like, huh? What

Speaker 3

Are you talking about?

Speaker 2

I got a whole bunch of Asians here, bro. You know, Asians don't speak like that, but

Speaker 3

You know how that

Speaker 2

Now? But I will. I will say though, just the temperament of me being outside as you know, as a black individual, you know, you always get a sense of who's watching you. Who's not, who's trying to walk. You get that sense. Right. And for majority of my life has always been at a certain level. But now that is heightened. Like s eeing m e i s like seeing the abominable snowman to these an d I w a lked

Speaker 3

Outside like wheel

Speaker 2

. Like it's not even like a thing. Um, so I think that's the major difference. It's just the, the essence of me being around has, has heightened their sensitivity to the thing. Um, but you know me, I still say what up.

Speaker 3

Okay. And what did you get back though? I was supposed to been visited by now.

Speaker 2

Oh, you said you was coming back? Well, I don't remember.

Speaker 3

I told you, did you did I say okay, I get it. Come back

Speaker 2

Shorty. That's next to you. You're not going nowhere. you talking about,

Speaker 3

You. See what I'm saying?

Speaker 2

The shorty that's next to you. Think you going anywhere that I need to go.

Speaker 3

I told her when I first got here and I think I told her when I first got back, Midwest, Midwest has always had the principles homegrown vegan. It's 20, 20 is still eating meat. Of course, for sure. I forgot. T here's Buffalo out there in the Midwest a little bit.

Speaker 2

I remember when you told me you was coming back, I looked at you like

Speaker 3

This.

Speaker 2

I did. I did. I looked at you like he was crazy when you t old h im K imbo before and after the workout,

Speaker 3

Like LeBron, LeBron got that Kimball. LeBron right off the final block, man. I was just gonna call two hours, man. But it's good to see y'all man. Definitely man.

Speaker 2

Everybody

Speaker 3

Good? Everybody good. You're not coming back from a protest. Are you know Noah[inaudible]

Speaker 2

Yeah man, I didn't get her name. I just got straight luck. I'm like, yo, what's her name?

Speaker 3

I ain't even get that low. They a little bit more civilized.

Speaker 2

I'm civilized. I'm a civilized individual. This civil in my last name.

Speaker 3

We just did a, we just had a protest. Um, uh, I mean,. It was people's out there. A lot of white people actually it was passing out waters, bro. I heard that's out of protest, like the one with black people

Speaker 2

And I think it was just running marathons. Y'all not even protesting. Everybody's running a marathon.

Speaker 3

They were definitely the majority. Is that like, Oh no. And then I guess I'm curious, like how the hell was that like as a processing processing is that it's good to have allies, but is it like, are you really in, I like, and you really feel my pain or is this just like

Speaker 2

The definition of an ally? Like they might not be a part of the community, but they support.

Speaker 3

Yeah. I mean, yeah. That's what makes you an ally because you're not really in the r eal. U m, but I mean, I don't know. I definitely was thinking like, do they really know w hat I mean? I t w as o ut

Speaker 2

Yo white people will always talk to you. White people will always protest. It doesn't matter what the cause is. If, if a protest is involved, you're going to have some white person out there saying yes.

Speaker 3

So this is America. We have our rights. We have. Yeah.

Speaker 2

Yeah. What did you say earlier? They was in vans with the door open with the AC?

Speaker 3

Nah, not the police. It was just like a, I don't know.

Speaker 2

They had the black cheetahs out there.

Speaker 3

The police came, the police came. We just still waiting to get picked up because we had to take a Lyft man, protest f our m iles a way from the w eb.

Speaker 2

Whoa,

Speaker 3

[inaudible]

Speaker 2

Talk about privilege. Yo, just waiting that five minutes Lyft is coming. Are you going to make it to the protest?

Speaker 3

We pulled up to a Louisiana Creole gumbo called the lifts while we sitting there waiting man, a whole bag full of,, women and men.

Speaker 2

That was the brother of Islam.

Speaker 3

Pull it up. They're like, party's over. Party's over.

Speaker 2

No joke. I was still on there. Yeah.

Speaker 3

Yeah. Upcharge bottom rate national pen.

Speaker 2

Imagine the left called me, talking about, meet me around the corner from the protest. Not, and now you got to move from the protest line and go around

Speaker 3

I'm over here.

Speaker 2

That was as a society. We take it lifts the profile.

Speaker 3

Yeah bro. I was taking lifts and we had to wait like n ear 40 minutes f or t hat. Imagine, imagine d uring like the million man March.

Speaker 2

Nah, not here yet. No, y'all have to evacuate, but this is the Uber station,

Speaker 3

But

Speaker 2

Luther King speech at the end of his. Y'all just wait for your Uber.

Speaker 3

Yo dog. I like the three mile Mark. I'm like, yo, we get farther and farther away from my window walking by

Speaker 2

Yo. But how do you feel about like the state of that's going on right now? Back to back, you had the COVID now you have the, how y'all feel about that as a, as part of the community.

Speaker 3

Is that, is it

Speaker 2

Crazy to y'all or is it just like regular now? Are you immune to the effects that society is putting on him?

Speaker 3

Definitely. Definitely. Like I don't even know what the military. Oh yeah. He's definitely out of line. We will use military. Yeah. He's definitely doing it a hundred percent. I mean, should we hear now? This is where we, we in a place where the president is talking about, do what the y ou want.

Speaker 2

And with the toupee we'll press the button. If a makes a choice to get a toupee, he will press the button. L ike I think i t made the decision to get a p ack. He walks around with h er.

Speaker 3

Yeah. He gives no. He's pressing the button.

Speaker 2

Anybody that's still where chopper suits is pressing the button,

Speaker 3

Pressing the button. We'll definitely put[inaudible] don't give no no more pressing the button.

Speaker 2

Yeah. That didn't go press two buttons. And it g oes really

Speaker 3

Okay.

Speaker 2

Chop, chop, chop, chop suit. Yeah, man. But it is definitely

Speaker 3

Crazy. I think,

Speaker 2

I think, I think he's really

Speaker 3

[inaudible].

Speaker 2

I wanted to make sure I chop a suit was one of those big suits with the wide pants. Legs. It's loose. It's not like a fitted suit. It's a, u m, i t's a baggy suit day 19.

Speaker 3

Yeah. Originally the origin is the member of the band and he's reality TV show.[inaudible] had a reality TV. They weren't doing it so long. That's the thing I used to watch right

Speaker 2

Now. It needs to happen right now. Like today Making the band,

Speaker 3

Making them

Speaker 2

Cops was making a band. I don't know. I got lost on that one, but yeah man, I think, I think, I think a lot of people I haven't heard surprisingly d idn't I haven't heard a lot of deaths though. I've heard a lot of people g et i t.

Speaker 3

I've heard a lot of black dudes though. So now people are trying to save some gangs. He have been just not with the p rocess at the same time.

Speaker 2

No, a black person right now to not w ith p rotesters. Is that a thing?

Speaker 3

You got Kanye West

Speaker 2

Kanye West. Not with the p rotests.

Speaker 3

I'm pretty sure was protesting Trump. He would say that's not the right thing. The Trump thing is different. I think this is honestly, I haven't heard anybody i n p olls. The fact that what happened, I heard he was talking about. I seen Dez B rian saying, you know, I love white.

Speaker 2

Nah, this news,

Speaker 3

Right?

Speaker 2

I'm not gonna lie to you. That's pure comedy, bro. What you mean? Like imagine that though in this heightened moment, somebody come out and just be like, yo, I love white people.

Speaker 3

That's crazy. That's wild man. White people out there. I love

Speaker 2

You needed to shut the up.

Speaker 3

was upset.

Speaker 2

See, I would think there's nothing wrong with white people. I just don't like the way they think. I just don't. I don't, I don't mind. I don't like the imperialistic nature that a lot of people that a lot of white people have, um, accepted. Right? I think plight isn't really, everyone has plight, but I think a certain amount of plate isn't really contributed to them. They just don't know it's oblivious

Speaker 3

To it. So, um,

Speaker 2

I just, I don't, I don't understand how the process works. And until then, it's just like a baby. Like until you make a baby aware of something, they don't know about it. And that's just why, why people are like, that's why I make it very clear. This is how it is. And whether you agree or you disagree, that's when you, but I'm telling you what

Speaker 3

This world looks like.

Speaker 2

It's just like anything, man. Like if you, if you're not, if you're not exposed to something you don't know of something. And then if you do get exposed to it and then you choose to ignore it, that's on you. But I just think inherently, they're not like, think about it. Like why deal with racist? If you weren't part of racism, would you actively try to be a part of racist? Like just

Speaker 3

d idn't i t. But it

Speaker 2

Is up to you.

Speaker 3

You know what I'm saying? Everything is up when Trump's talking about Mexican people, but I don't be out there. T hat's w hat I m iss. The last time y ou went to g et a lot of i t has to do with the fact that I'm thinking o f like as a black person, some up for me too.

Speaker 2

And to be quite honest with you, black people, black people shopping.

Speaker 3

Can you even imagine being a white man? I can't even imagine.

Speaker 2

I can imagine that. I think I can imagine.

Speaker 3

I think being a white man, being a black man with a lot less worry, carefree black. You ain't got no worries in the world.

Speaker 2

No, no. Well these, these white women will put these white women to put pressure. These white men don't put pressure on your doubt. Like imagine, imagine not having a hundred million in the bank and a white woman come up to you. you talking about everybody else got a hundred million. These white dudes got pressured t o now. D CO just don't kill themselves to kill themselves. Like these white women make these seals k ill themselves.

Speaker 3

Coca-Cola

Speaker 2

The Midwest. Wait a minute About Nebraska is. That's what you talking about? You talking about Iowa and Idaho, those white men that still eat grass. That's what the you talking about?

Speaker 3

You talking about material?

Speaker 2

No, I mean, I, but that's the thing. I do think every man has pressure. Every woman has pressure too. But um, I do feel as though socially, it's not as much pressure to be a white man, but I still think they got pressure to, to live up to certain standards and move the way that they.

Speaker 3

I feel like definitely white women. They can definitely get away with the most w hite m an. I think so

Speaker 2

Dangerous group in America. I've been saying why women are the most dangerous group in America, bro. White women would get you killed white men will get you fired white. Roman would get you harass white women, white women.

Speaker 3

I wanted to get you arrested,

Speaker 2

Kill you just for looking at'em, uh, arrest that man, kill that man.

Speaker 3

There are historical facts around that.

Speaker 2

I live in the most dangerous group in America wrong. That's why if a white woman comes up to me and asks like if I'm smoking sign and be like, yo, can I get some I'm scared of. I'm scared of a group of white women. That real. Take you. Go ahead and take, take, take the whole pack. Go ahead and take it away. I don't what to do with it. This is, this is mine. Anyway, this isn't mine anyway. Most dangerous scoop out there.

Speaker 3

No, I wasn't scared. You know what I'm saying? I tried to keep my, you know, drinking my water.

Speaker 2

I've been drinking a gallon a day, bro. You've been drinking.

Speaker 3

I had the leader.

Speaker 2

We, we ask them you've been drink of water and picked up a couple of minutes. Yep. I'm Jacob. He's like, you can get that, but I'm a flush.

Speaker 3

They giving out free food.

Speaker 2

A protest turned into a fair real.

Speaker 3

Like

Speaker 2

If they would have had a r ollercoaster out there, i t would have been a fa il.

Speaker 3

Wow.

Speaker 2
