Music, Memories & Madness: From One-Hit Wonders to Wedding Playlists
In this episode, the fellas dive into the soundtrack of life—those songs that shape our moods, spark memories, and sometimes stir up controversy. From classic one-hit wonders that still bang today, to the wildest lyrics that would get artists canceled in 2025, the conversation flows through personal stories, generational shifts in music, and the undeniable power of football, food, and good tracks to bring people together. They debate Rolling Stone’s “Top 10 Hip-Hop and R&B Songs,” share workout playlist essentials, and even laugh about the most reckless songs ever played at weddings. It’s a mix of nostalgia, cultural commentary, and straight-up fun for any true music lover.
And
SPEAKER_01:I'm done. Close. You know, not a whole lot, what you been having going on? Man, just living life, man. Kind of adjusting to this new phase. Kind of, you know, two kids out the house, trying to get adjusted to that. And making sure I'm still present. Having a lot more talks with my baby boy, man. And just enjoying that. Enjoying hearing his perspective on different things, man. And I'm laughing because he asked me the question. And the question was... Man, how do you understand women? All I could do was laugh, like, man, look, the first step is identifying you don't understand them. There you go. And so it was a good little conversation that we had, man, but just for him to open up a little bit and ask that question, because he's starting to see things for himself, and it's revealing. That's all. I'm going to keep it at that. But what else you got going, man? Nothing, man. It's funny. When we walked in here, Video was playing my favorite, well, both our favorite rapper, and he was Probably since, what's this, September? Probably since about the middle of August, man. I've just been on this whole music thing lately, listening to music. More than I usually listen to it, I just see that. I mean, we all listen to music, but... And it kind of got me thinking, like... I think there are two things, and it's fitting because tonight, the first night, NFL is back. Oh, yeah. Excited about that one. And it's two things that I say makes the world go round, and it's good music and football. And probably not together, but it can be put together. But good music and football kind of, it makes, I say, the United States go round, man. Not many sports where you have everybody excited. about the start of last weekend was college football this week NFL football high school football of course is big in the area we live in so just got me to thinking about that and how those things can can really turn a community or unite a community I shouldn't say turn it can turn but unite a community how good music can unite a family friends or how good music can just take you back to a Certain time period In your life Rather good or bad man Oh yeah And just to add to that I think once you The third The missing part of that one Is food And that way To make it cross culture That's the cherry on top You have football and food You have music and food And that's Whatever generation Culture you come from You always gonna enjoy that man So yeah I can agree with that one man Sit back and As I get older man I'm finding myself Listening to some more Of the oldies Like the 70s Some 80s 90s 90s That's the oldies Yeah Nah Nah But 90s R&B might be my favorite genre of music, man. But I'm actually exploring a little bit more, man. I listen to a little bit more country than I used to. Gospel here and there, you know, and this is a personal thing, man. I hate all the yelling, man. You can sing without yelling, man. We can be all right with all that yelling, man. I can't take it, you know. You got to get your point across. I think, oh, I might get struck down for saying this. I think the yelling and gospel Gospel music is the substitute for cussing. I hear you, but man, I can't. Look, I can't watch Tyler Perry plays because as soon as they start singing, I get up and leave. Man, my daughter think it's the funniest thing on earth. She had to come sit down and watch him play with me. I'll sit down and be good. And as soon as they start singing, I'm up. I can't take all the hollering, man. And some of them got talent, but then some of it is just, man, come on. So with that being said, like you said, like, I mean, it's simple. Certain kind of music affects your mood. So with the, I guess, It's more the slow singing And all the loud singing The hollering That kind of That kind of brings you Like man I ain't trying to hear this Yeah So that got me to thinking So I was listening to What I like to do man So In the case of like So called one hit wonders Or Artists or groups that You know one good song What I like to do is Go back and try to listen To like their album Just to kind of hear What they had to say really Everybody remember the group Onyx. Their biggest song was Slam. Slam and I can't think of the other one. But I went back to I went back to listen to their album and the album is actually, it actually sounds like something from today, their first album. It actually sounds like something from today, man. It's actually some good music. So that Slam, that was big, that was Related to basketball so much You heard that on a lot of the You start getting hyped for a game When you hear that one Come on Yeah So Just kind of just Thinking about that What's a What's a one hit wonder that That you probably remember Or something from back in the day that I got two Off the top of my head That I listened to the whole album And I know You know They had hit songs And one of them was Crucial Conflict With Hey Oh yeah I went back and listened to that album That might be something I might go back and listen to And then the other one was Crime I'm a knock of your buck, but I listened to that whole album too. And I ain't gonna say I had it on repeat, but it was, you know, I listened to it another way. Like, okay, I know more than one song. That crucial, that song right there, that boy, that took me back to skating rink on Sunday night. Oh man, you can't talk, man, look. Cause that was around like late elementary school, middle school. Fifth, sixth, seventh grade. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So man, hey, that was a head bopper. Man, look, and everybody in the neighborhood had a park. They'd come in and say, oh man, that's gonna be so fun, man. And I I always think about TJ Hunter when I hear that song. He one of the first people who introduced me to that song and man, he just be outside all hype to it. So it just made you like that. But yeah, and that and the crime mob, you know, they done remade that song. Yeah. Or at least the track of it. Yeah. They got the track going on somewhere. But I think even the kids this day rock with that. Like, yeah. So it's a challenge on TikTok where, and I want to do that with my boys, but they listen to my music where like it's, it's more of the, The songs Like what we used to listen to Back in the day A lot of people play Trina You don't know now Yeah And the kids Yeah And the kids are looking like Oh my god See we saying something About Meg the Stallion And they like Man y'all heard Trina Yeah Y'all need to listen to something What we used to listen to So Let me ask you a question So I know mine What's one of the most Outlandish Lyrics That you might have heard From an artist Maybe When I say outlandish My land is like something that might get them censored now or what they call it. What they call it now? Cancel. Oh, DMX. Yeah, yeah. I know which one you get there. What's the lyric you got? When you got a daughter over 15. Yeah. If you know the rest of that part, that's what it is. Like, oh, man, that's the one thing I can say. I'm going to kill me, but I'm going to kill you. See, we can't even say that. Yeah. I don't even feel right. I don't even feel right. But I used to rap at that 14, 15, 16. Every word. Every word. Yeah, man. Another song was like that that made people think, and I say think because me, I done had debates with people on this one, but Vice Versa by Pastor Troy. Yeah. Oh, man, and the part where he said about Virgin Mary, that part right there, yeah, that'll probably get them canceled now. I think, I like to use the term reckless. I think one of the most reckless songs ever, and it's a great song. It's a funny song. It's Becky by Plyce. Okay. I'm going to give you an old one. I mean, it might be a dead song. I know you're going to look at me crazy when I say it, right? Remember Temptations, Beauty on the Skin Deep? Yeah. If you ever go listen to that song, man, I'm talking about the whole song. And I'm like, man, that's crazy. That was the most reckless to me. My friends ask, what do I see? Go listen to that song and all those lyrics, you be like, what? Can you say that out loud? Bobby Womack, man. I wish you didn't trust me so much. I might need to hear it. You know the Bobby Womack, I wish you didn't trust me so much. Oh man, you got to look at the Bobby Womack story. I might need it. Go look at the Bobby Womack story. I might need to hear it in tune. Yeah, man, I'm going to tell you what, this is a challenge for next time we on, right? Go look at YouTube, Bobby Womack story, and then go listen to that song, I wish you didn't trust me so much. Bobby Womack might be the most reckless person ever, man. When I say you ever, ever. That man would have had to die, man. I hate to say it like that. We got it coming up. Oh, yeah. You got to listen to this, man. You got to know the backstory to why this song is so reckless. Oh, he had something going on. Sam, no. Let it roll for a minute. I'll let you know. He had a baby by somebody's sister. No. What happened was Sam Cooke was his boy. Sam Cooke put him on everything else. He was sleeping with Sam Cooke's wife. I knew it was something like that. No, check it. Wore a suit to his funeral. It ain't even the cold part. Later on, got caught messing with his daughter. Yeah, see, that's the part I knew. I knew he got messing with his daughter. I wish you didn't trust me so much. It's like, what? I knew it was something about him and Sam Cooke. Yeah, but he had the wife first and wore a suit to the funeral. Like, come on, man. That ain't the up to level disrespect. I don't know what it is. He got to go. Mm-hmm. But the brothers got a hold to him. Yeah. Sam Cooke brothers got a hold to him from what the stories say. You know, I'm not, I wasn't there during that time, but the story, to hear the story, man, that It's a reckless story Yeah but So that You got plies You got Now one that's funny And when I first heard it Um And shout out to him I thought it was some I thought it was an old song Um Uh But it say he left home to be with his side piece. Yeah. Yeah. That's something so to have you laughing, man. So what was a song, let's say, probably when you was coming up that maybe your grandma or your mom, you know, I know we kind of had similar where our house or our grandma's house probably was the party house. So what was the one song that you always heard and you knew as a little kid that you might go to school singing it, and they're looking at it, man, what are you singing? Oh, man, it's what's the name of that song, man, when the dude pull up to the window, his old lady was cheating on him. I know I gave it to the boys a long time ago, man. Me and Meechie always laugh about it. Pulled up to what? He pulled up to the hotel room, and he's singing the song, and he pulled up to the hotel room, his old lady was sleeping with another man. So the cop come up to him while he had to do, talk about he a peeping Tom and all this other stuff. But it's It's wild, boy. What's the name of that song? Marvin Cease? Yeah, yeah, I think that. So listen, I laugh because the name of the song, Candy Liquor, but you know what I'm talking about. No, no, no, the name of the one, not that one. It's another one that's on. I think it's by Leon Lewis, but I think. Yeah, Leon Lewis, wild, boy. Leon Lewis, wild. Everybody woulda knew. But I think for me, man, it was probably, it was a few, man, because You know my dad used to have He had the record player In the basement But Um It was, I know my mom used to like to listen to Clean Up Woman. I think that was even before her time, but she still listened to it. Peeping Through the Window. That's the name of the song. Peeping through the window. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Peeping through the blinds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But man, that's crazy. All those songs had meanings if you really listened to it. Oh man, a bunch of them, man. When you see him go back and you're like, man, that's what I started doing. And you know, it's one of those things, man, I grew up a grandma boy, so I listened to a much older than me Chaka Khan hit the scene. That was my mama Beyonce. So if Chaka Khan hit the scene, that was like a lot of people Beyonce, how they look at it today. So I knew a lot of Chaka Khan records, and some of them I didn't realize was Chaka Khan records till later. So two songs you probably got that's going to get the party started? Frankie Beverly and May is always going to be one. Always, always. That's always going to be one. That should be number one on almost every person's list. Yeah. And I know it's older, but to get people up and moving, Electric Slide. Yeah. The older folks I said like that Like you know Probably do the All the line dance And stuff So I got two I'm going to kind of Modernize one But definitely Frankie Beverly And then I'm going to go with Mary J. Blige Let's get it I don't know what she be saying But you know what I mean I think that That'll get a reception Started right there That song right there And this is how we do it I think that might be Another one Yeah That's a big one That's a big one That's a big one right there. Hey, man, it just came to my mind, man. What's the wildest song you heard at a wedding? Wildest? At a wedding. Like something that shouldn't be played at a wedding? Yeah. Yeah, Family Affair, that's mine. But at a wedding. I can make you laugh, man. I don't think I ever experienced no wild song. And off air, I'd tell you who it was, man. I'm at the wedding reception, and I'm sitting there chilling, and I hear the song Separated. What? I love the song. Yeah, yeah, but that ain't it. Not at no wedding reception, bro. That's crazy. Remember, it was a video out a while ago, and the girl was singing at a funeral. Monday, you went away. Why are you singing this at a funeral? Yeah, it's out of pocket, man. Totally. Man, I was sitting here like, really in awe, like, are they really playing this song? I can say, though, the couple's still married. It's probably about 20 years ago, but, you know. And it was like when Separated was fresh, you know what I'm saying? When it first came out. They like the melody of it, but they ain't listen to the words. No, not at all. Couldn't be. But the couple's still married, so I say it like that. Well, it ain't had no effect on them then. Yeah, but I just thought it was wild. So being that, you know, a lot of people and I We listen to mostly hip-hop and, you know, R&B for the most part. You know, a lot of people like to expand their horizons depending on the mood. So I did a little bit of research, and I'm going to get your what you think first. We'll start with hip-hop. Okay. Just off the top of your head, since you've been listening to music, what do you think? I researched the top ten songs. 100 greatest songs of all time, but I got the top 10. Rolling Stone, I guess they did a little thing. So top 10 hip-hop songs of all time. Hip-hop songs of all time. What you think first, and I'm going to give you the list. My list is going to be way different than theirs. Hip-hop, hip-hop. I know B.I.G. I know they're going to have some Biggie Smalls on there. Yeah, it's a B.I.G. song that came in at number eight. Okay. Okay. I'm trying to think about it. Is New York on there for Jay-Z? No. Okay. I thought that would be regional because I got a lot of people listening to that song. But I like International Players Anthem. That should be up there. I'm not sure. It's not in the top ten. Okay. It's not in the top ten. Okay. Yeah, I don't know. That one, I just got Summertime. That should be it. Yeah, Summertime should be up there. But it's not top 10, though. Hey, that's iconic. So, Rolling Stone magazine. Let me hear them. Top 100. Oh, I say top 10 songs. And then I'm going to throw some in there. Here and there, I wasn't about to list all 100 songs. But top 10. I'll start with number 10. Eric B. Rakim, Paid in Full. Number 9, N.W.A.H. Straight Outta Compton.
SPEAKER_02:I can
SPEAKER_01:get that one. That came out. Eric B. Rakim came out in 87. Straight Outta Compton came out in 88. 1994, Juicy by Biggie. That's number eight. 1990, Public Enemy, Fight the Power. That was a big song. Yeah, that was a cultural song. Yeah. Number six, Dr. Dre's Snoop G thing. Number five, 1991, when Ghetto Boys came out with Mind Playing Tricks on me. Number four Run DMC Sucker MCs number three I wouldn't put this one so high I mean Africa Bombada Planet Rock you remember that song yeah yeah that's number three I mean that's okay I don't agree yeah and then number two and number one and two man you got I see why number two is Sugar Hill Gang Rapper's Delight and then number one is of course Grandmaster Flash Furious Five The Message so sort of you know you got to think kind of iconic songs or what started hip hop yeah and I it ain't more historical because all of those are older. Right, right, right. But it's something that made the list. Number 16 is Jay-Z, Big Pimpin'. Okay. At number 20, 50 Cent in the Club. Number 37, Outkast, Rosa Parks. Number 46, Push It. I'm going to say something about Push It. Yeah. Oh, man. I listen to that so much. I had some cousins, man. I ain't going to lie. I had a lot of older cousins. Phoebe. Cousins. You know, back in the day, your older cousins, sister, brother, that's who you with if your mom and daddy go on it. My older cousins was in high school at the time, and I remember hearing the song Push It throughout the house that night. Me and my cousin ran around the house playing. I go in my cousin's room, bus in my cousin's room, and I realized why the song Push It was playing. He was in there pushing it. But, uh, Those were some songs. T.I. What You Know was at 67. Okay. Number 80, Naughty by Nature, OPP. Yeah, that's a classic. 92. That's a ratchet song, too, now you think about it. It is, it is. When you hear one of them songs you think about, like when you talk, you know, what? Came in at 92 was Bling Bling. Okay. I listened to Guerrilla Warfare this morning. And then at 95, Bone, Thurs and Harmony, Crossroads. Those were songs. So what With some of the Like So I guess as you Do you remember the first What it was called Cassette That you bought I'm gonna say Start with cassette Cause CDs kinda came out And look I don't remember The first cassette I bought But I remember The first CD I bought Was Bobby Brown It's my prerogative That was my first CD ever
SPEAKER_02:CD?
SPEAKER_01:My first CD ever Was Bobby Brown That you bought No no I remember getting For Christmas It was Bobby Brown The first CD I bought Probably Ooh I know the first cassette I bought was, you remember, no, it was the first CD. You remember they used to send a little payback, four CDs for a dollar, something like that it was. And I convinced my mama to buy me. Clearing House or something like that? Yeah, I convinced my mama to buy me Ready to Die. Okay. My biggie. And then, but see, the thing is, man, so I kind of grew up starting off, you know, my mom's sister and brother were a little younger than me. When I was born So my uncle He used to listen to a lot of West Coast music NWA Eazy-E And my mama used to listen to NWA I remember The first video I really remember seeing Was Eazy-E We want Eazy Okay And I used to I used to This is funny I don't know Think about it I used to Beg my mama Or my uncle To get me a Raiders jacket Just cause Eazy-E Had one on In that video So That was kind of my first, I guess, introduction to music. Because he used to DJ. He'd have all the stuff in his room just in there listening to music, that sort of stuff. So that was kind of my first introduction to music. See, you come in on that. I come in with the old folks. Like I said, my grandma was a Temptations fan, so I remember My Girl, all that stuff. But I mean more of, okay, what I like to listen to, aside from I'm just listening to whatever they're playing. Michael Jackson, Bad. I listen to a bunch of that. Yeah. I'm not you. Thriller? That's funny. I take that back. Michael Jackson was my first introduction to music. Okay. I take that back. I'm watching my first video. I remember it's Thriller. I don't know why that's the first video I remember, but that's my first video. I'm Bad. Whichever one came out first. I think I'm Bad came out first. Ah, Thriller came out before I'm Bad. Yeah. But yeah, my dad used to listen to it. That Bad album was bad too. What's your favorite Michael Jackson video? I got two that I go back and forth between. I actually like Remember the Time. As far as video, that ain't my favorite song, but that's my favorite video. And I also used to love the way you make me feel. See? The way you make me feel when you walk around with the girl over there the whole time, Corey. I go back between Remember the Time. Um... Remember the Time is my top. But I go back between The Way You Make Me Feel and Leave Me Alone. For some reason, him just flying the airplane and the monkey and all that. That video kind of scared me at one point. There was another video that used to come on after that. You had people coming through the plasma or something. I forgot what it was. I don't know who's video that was. It might have been the Jacksons. But I can't remember what it was. But that Leave Me Alone, that wasn't one of my favorites. Yeah, that was my one. I love that song. The Way You Make Me Feel. The way he followed that girl around. Like he was macking the whole time And I was You know And we had a conversation With the boys Look y'all got it easy Y'all can slide in the inbox We had to go talk to girls That's up So we'll go to R&B So just a quick guess What do you think In Rolling Stone's top 10 As far as R&B There's some R. Kelly on there I don't know Just being biased It's in probably Me, mine, yours And people You know So I'm thinking Us Usher Confessions, that's the top R&B song. Look, that was the album during college, man. Look, I'm not telling you, man. Don't take me too far back. Come on now. You were laying in the room. Come on now. But it was all good, man. I probably know that. I used to know that whole album verbatim. You know what I'm saying? Like, okay, I can go to that whole album. Usher definitely up there. He at number one, actually. I had like 8701, too. Not just, you know, Confessions there, but 8701. Low key, I'm an Usher fan. Not low key. High key. I'm an Usher fan. Damn right. And I'm thinking Chris Brown got to be on there somewhere. He's not top 10. He don't have anything top 10, but he's on there. That's my guy. I came to love Chris Brown. Man, look, I'll put it like this, and people are going to think I'm playing. When we were in college, and I remember this because one of the dudes that I was in college with, man, Chris Brown was a joke in college. Like, it was, yo, man, you walk around like Chris Brown, but then over his career, you look at, again, we respect greatness, and Chris Brown, he was coming on in that rare air. I'm going to tell you how I got turned on to Chris Brown. I think it was his first album. I was in college and, you know, coming home and I got a... I can't remember if she called me or something. My sister, she was in high school. No, she wasn't even in high school yet. Now that I think about it. She wanted me to get her Chris Brown CD. I'm like, alright. So I eventually got it. And when I got it, what I wanted to do was I just wanted to put it in her car, just put it in her CD player so she can wake up and hear it. So I opened it. So I started listening to it. And of course, Run It was the big singer. But then I heard Pop It. Bro, that's still one of my favorite songs ever. I got you. That's still one. I'm like, yo, this dude all right. You know, we think he a kid or whatever. Yeah, that's what it was. Chris Brown got a catalog. Somebody Can rival somebody Can somebody put him Against us That's a battle Man That's a battle I'm trying to tell you Everybody say R. Kelly the king But hey It's debatable It's a battle That's what people People always say They want to be definitive On what they feel That they are But sometimes Don't sit here and say It's not debatable No No not at all It's debatable You sit down and put it on They were doing the verses And stuff I'm like Yeah Somebody's like Who gonna go against R. Kelly I'm like man Usher might have a catalog That can compete Yeah But if Chris Brown Got a catalog That can go And Chris Brown Can go with the best of them Yeah And This is a Evolution of respect

So, I don't think you was in that class, but, you know, in high school, weightlifting, you know, we get we want to take our shirt off. So, class was over. I walked to the middle of the floor and pulled my pants halfway down, not all the way, had my shirt off and started singing a song. Nah, I wasn't in there. But see, that is another way how music influenced you, man. That was an iconic video. Yeah, man. For, you know, just, I guess, the art of what he did in that video. I mean, you still remember it.

SPEAKER_01:Okay. And then, of course, Eric B. and Rakim, Don't Sweat the Technique. I love them beats, man. Yep. So, you know, just some things, man. Like I said, I don't know what came over me recently about music. Of course, we all always listen to music, man. But it's just something. Even with, I've gotten so much now that even on when I post stories, I gotta have, I take time, more time from what I want to say or the picture than finding the right damn song I want to put that go with whatever picture I'm putting up or whatever. Yeah, man, see, I'm trying to get back, I ain't gonna say get back into music, but I don't let, man, I guess it's one of those situations, man, I ride home, 9 to 9, 10 at quiet. Right. I used to do the same thing. It's quiet. I used to do the same thing. I need to decompress. I need to get whatever. I'm leaving work, going to a new situation. Yeah. I don't. You just riding in silence. Making a lot of noise. Making a lot of noise. Yeah. I ain't like hearing the noise, so it's like I calm that down. And now, again, I'm calling myself out getting older. I be listening to a bunch of Reddit stories, man. It's going to be intriguing to me, man. Like, by the time I get to where I'm going, I'm like, you know, Liam did whatever he did. You know what I'm saying? Like, I be listening. What? The family turn on you like that? You ain't get to that point yet. I'm there, bro. I'm all the way in. My kids and stuff be laughing. Not one of them again. Look, we go on road trips. By the time the story over, I'm where I'm going. Yeah. I get it. I get what you're saying, but it all goes with the moods you're in. I'm telling you. It's mostly quiet. If it ain't quiet, nine times ten, there's a Reddit story on. I be trying to get into different little stuff. I used pass the arts court I get my kids I get my wife every now and again but she be she be on them slow love songs I'm like I'm trying to drive you trying to put me to sleep you know so it's like y'all don't y'all don't have a common ground in music I think that's being in a relationship just music like I said my favorite genre now is R&B so that way we can kind of vibe with them musically but other than that no we totally opposite of everything ride it okay when I was in a relationship man that's that's one of the coolest things ever like especially Especially if it's just you and her going somewhere, you know what I'm saying, y'all riding. And even if it's a rap song, y'all rapping back and forth with each other, that sort of thing, man. That would be ideal, but no, it ain't us. Okay, okay. Like I said, not as R&B, we there. But I think, and she shot me a couple times, because, you know, as much as I used to play DMX, something came on the radio or whatever, and she started rapping, and the kids in the back looking like, mama know this? And that's the funniest part to me, like, yeah, sure. Listen to your daddy play it all the damn time. Juvenile, because they made a joke about me in prom. Like, Sean ain't going to play no romantic music. I'm going to listen to Juvenile all the way to prom. Let me let you in on a little secret. But it is what it is. I'm involved now, though. One time. One time. We was in high school. Everybody know how it go in high school. I mean, we all. I bring it back and say we all family. We family. Man. And the female... Sometimes she still reminds me of this. Okay. I played the whole BG album, Choppa City and the Ghetto. To the prom. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This was, and people listening, they know what time it is. This was Tim Rye Park. Okay. Say no more. She say, you know, she remind me of that from time to time. You play that. All the way. Yeah. Yeah. I got you. That was the album with Bling Bling. Yeah. And, um, Dog Ass. Yeah. Dog Ass was one of my ones. Yeah, that was that album. I got you. You know, that was what we listened to, man. That was in, if I got in your car, it was either DMX or Hot Boys. If it was my car, it was DMX, Hot Boys, or something from No Limit. I listened to No Limit, too, and I was on Hypnotize Camp. Possibly harder than people would have thought I would be, but I'm just telling you, like, it wasn't for everybody, but I kind of liked it right at the time. Juicy J now, hey, they were getting it since they with early. So your influences, of course, you know, with those, like you said, DMX, we both can agree on that. Of course, Hot Boys. And they whole crews. I didn't just say that. I just listened to, you know, when you say DMX, Drag On album. I had love Drag On. I got Eve album. I listened to the whole Rough Riders and them. And again, No Limit. And Mark had Love Fiend. And Mark was always playing. Man, that was one of my least favorite. But I, because I listened to Mark play it so much. He used to do that thing with Yale. So I see why you probably. I can't take that yellow man. But yeah, man, that's kind of what I was on. We probably wasn't extended time because I know you got some things you want to touch on. Man, nothing I can think of off the top of my head, man. Just kind of, again, enjoying life. Again, making these transitions, man. I'm sitting here talking about these transitions and like from the parenting standpoint of being a, what you say, how Earthquake put it, I went from being a provider to an advisor. So I'm going through that. You know, daughter turned 21 over the weekend and watching her literally live her adult life. And again, small victories, man. As a college student, man, she called me excited, man. She's like, Dad, guess what? Like, what? I got approval for food stamps. I'm a college student. I'm like, man, what in the world? But I'm happy because she liked to cook and it's like, okay, good. I know, you know, as a dad, I can go to my daughter's house, she'll cook up something real quick and I'm happy because when she was there, me and her would be the only two in the house that cook. No disrespect to my wife, but that just ain't her thing. She do it on holidays. But yeah, it's all good, man. But it's funny. But again, transitioning to that, again, I got a son that got out of college, man, and he forgot our phone number until it come time to drop a bill or something like that, you know. But adjusting to that, trying to, again, implement this new law in South Carolina where they can't hold their phone in their hand, trying to implement that to kids, and not wanting them to be in the mix of getting anything done as far as anything with the police record. But I know this generation, they're used to that phone in their hand. They got to have it. And somebody was telling me earlier, I'm like, man, You remember a time where we didn't care nothing about a cell phone? Like, you almost had to feel like you were rich to have a cell phone? But the thing is, everything is on the phone now. That's what it is. Phones just used to be for calling, and then the text messages came, and now you got your social media. When social media got on cell phones, that's what killed the game right now. That was it, but it just took the place of everything, man. Alarm clock. You could check the weather. Like, you could do anything. Everything. You could calendar. You can put stuff. Man, there's just so much you can do, man. But with saying that, it frustrates me that so many people don't take advantage of the cell phone to do better you know what I'm saying it's like they use the cell phone to be bitter instead of doing stuff to be better because it's like we got so many things at the tip of our fingertips if you want to be whatever you can first you can start off in Google you can start off in YouTube but you know I want to and I say that because you know I was talking in conversations with my sons and I get a and I don't say personally offended when homeless people come talk to me I get upset with homeless males because like you got enough gall to come ask somebody that's money you you can work and do all you can do all this you can find some way to go work man I and me personally I tell them places they can go find a job at versus me giving them money and of course they look at you scoff and get mad but I'm like I ain't got no sympathy for nobody when again I'm trying to raise a whole family I got all these responsibilities all this stuff on my head and you come and ask me and I'm like and you just gonna do what you're do with it. I ain't seeing you doing that with it, but turn around asking for the same thing over and over again. That's one of the things that bothered me in my mind. And then my son kind of gave me a little, what did he say? He said, well, maybe that's all they want to do. And I said, you know what? As I get older, I had to learn that. But the fact that you're doing that at 17, that's a great feeling because as a 40-something-year-old man, I'm learning that to let people be who they are. And this is like the last two years, so to speak. Because, you know, I ain't going to say I feel like I can change anybody, but it's one of those, like, I want the best for people. So I want to push you to do the best for yourself. But if you don't want it, ain't nothing I can do. Yeah. My thing with that, man, because you never know what got people there. I feel like I'm blessed enough, and I say this all the time, man. when I'm, when I experienced a hardship, thank God for good family, good friends. You know what I'm saying? And a lot of people don't come from that. You know what I'm saying? So if they could, they could have, they could experience a hardship that I experienced, but they didn't have anybody to fall back on or lend that helping hand. And now they're just stuck for, you know, for a long time. But I get what you're saying because, and I found up on people that say we all got the same opportunities Because we don't We don't But there are There are some people That take advantage of Being able to say Hey man Let me Let me hold this Or even people That are not homeless People go Might go to a restaurant Or bar And wait And ask somebody To buy them a drink Like bro You don't need to be here Nope If you got to do that Favorite line If you can't afford Your own bad habit You don't need to do it Yeah So I You know That's kind of a Here and there type of thing with me. I say it gets on my nerves but it's one of those things that bothers me because again I'm not mean with it but it's like I'm not going to enable your behavior. That's for sure. That's for sure right on. I might be that conversation that change how you look at things by the way I denied you. I'm saying, no, get out my face. It's like, no, I know somebody hiring up here. Are you willing to work? What are you trying to do? I turn around and start a conversation, and they don't want the conversation. They just want you to get in one and keep it moving. And I feel like piggybacking off of that, I feel like you can say that because I've seen you– I put this back that's how we rolled like even from high school college if my boy ain't got it and I got it we got it ain't no question we here I ain't ask you a question I didn't ask you what you got I asked you can you come yeah you wanna come through you know and that goes without saying and our friend circle all of us have been there like I wanna go and that went without saying like yeah he talking slow I know what he ain't wanna do I'm gonna tell him come on come on bro I ain't ask you for that we all fitting to have fun you fitting to drink as much as I'm drinking and all that you know what I mean so I feel like yeah I get where you coming from with that so I you know we've all been out man I'm having a good time bro everybody about to drink are you straight nah come on you good yeah and we gonna make this time a good time so you ain't gotta whatever you got going on come make this a good time to get away from that and then now if you want to be willing to talk we can talk about those next steps if you ain't want to again I don't press a grown man for what they want to do and how they go about doing their things you know what I'm saying cause everybody look at things from a different lens. When you make those times habitual is when the issue comes. You can't be waiting on me to offer you a drink every time, bro. In two-fold, though, I say that, if I'm out, I ain't buying no drinks, but you come to my house, if I got it, you got it. I ain't been one of the ones to hit people across the head, but I'm not going out to try to impress people to show, oh, he big ball that, nah, I'm good. I get my little stuff and I'm gone. I ain't never tried to overdo You know what I'm saying? I never try to overstep boundaries. And, again, I'm all about the good time. I had some of the greatest times ever in a question. You know, somebody asked me what was the best time I had in my life. Oh, that's one of my pick six questions, but go ahead. No, but check it, check it. I'm going to give you my answer. I ain't had it yet. Okay. I ain't had it yet. Why don't you think you had it yet? Because there's so much more stuff that I want to see and do. Like, I've had such a great life, and if I close my eyes tomorrow, God owes me nothing. I lived a great life. full fulfilled life I've done a lot for a lot of people I've been a great father a great son a good husband I try to do a great friend I try to do everything I can for the people around me so I have no regrets no look back like I wish I'd have done things differently but in that same time it's like so many things to look forward to I have people becoming grandparents that's one of the best days so it's like I ain't had my best day yet and if I continue to live like that then whatever I accumulated like It's great, but it's appreciative. So when my best day come, look, I say it, but I ain't had it yet because I had so many great days. So you know why I feel like I haven't had my best day yet either? And there's so much in life we all want to do. We want to travel this place. We want to have this car. We want to have this amount of money. My biggest thing is I haven't had the chance to do for the people that I love like I want to. Correct I haven't had The chance I just saw You know the big thing Last week With Michael Parsons Yeah He retired his mama I haven't had I want to make That phone call Let's see And I already It's funny I already got it planned out How I'm going to do it Yeah Like that's the crazy thing So I had no lottery 1.3 billion So But Let me go find a ticket But yeah I even got it planned out How I would like to do it I should And if I'm blessed To be able to do that I know how I'ma do it From my mom My dad My siblings My kids Yeah And like I even got You know how Sometimes you got people That they're your family Of course But It's always that person In your family That might have did something Or said something to you And that stuck with you For a long time I'ma tell you Mine, mine, Danny Yeah, yeah, yeah If I could ever sit down Yeah, you said that And he ain't gonna want He ain't gonna want I'm good He'll get back to you I'm good Take care of Take care of the ones behind you Take care of somebody else Like that's him But it's still It's still a gesture Or something that you Probably could do for him That he'll be like God I got that in mind So that's what I'm saying It ain't all monetary You know what I'm saying Correct yeah That there's a gesture Or two that I wanna do For some people And I'm doing some of it You know what I'm saying And I can say I got one That I'm doing now Currently And just helping out. And it's something small. I ain't going to say small, but it's significant to him. And I understand the significance. So I'm trying to make sure I see it through all the way to the end. Yeah. And I know it's going to be okay. Thank you. Right. And if I get that from him, that's all I need. Because he done done so much for me and my children, man. And it's like I like to appreciate the people. And, again, without asking. And I want to say without asking. It's like he see it and do it. Yeah. I just, I just, uh, but we're going to be all right. We're going to be all right. Uh, shout out, shout out, shout out to Digital Base Media. All the time, man. Hey, if we forget to say it, I promise y'all want to say it every time. Digital Base Media, man. Make sure y'all connect with them, man. They're doing some amazing things. You know, again, got us on the air. Yeah. But yeah, to your point, man, that's, uh, that's a, that's a, that's something, and I, and I didn't, I did mean to cut you off because that, you know how sometimes it's something, you know, You want, and I'm bad at that, something you want to say, but you don't know the exact thing you want to say. But you said it, that kind of made me think about, okay, yeah, that's what I've been thinking the whole time. You know what I'm saying? But, yeah, that's big, man. So, a lot of things have been happening, like you said, the kids off in school. Man, I probably talked to, I'm looking at Cam's location now. It look like he coming home to do something, but he right back out in the morning.
UNKNOWN:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Come on, man. I've talked to him a few times when the whole little hoax went down. Yeah. He called me. And after I hung up with him and found out what really went on, man, I'm like, okay, something I said to this boy or did, or the way me and his mom raised him has stuck because he called me. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? He called me when it was going down, actually. I got a drop. As soon as somebody said something, so I called mine. Man, we in the room chilling, man. We got the doors locked. We looking at all the police going by us. I'm like, okay, cool. And he was like, yeah, I'm good. I ain't worrying about nothing. And he going to hit me with, this is the funniest part ever. This is why my son is funny. And people don't know he funny. I was like, um, he said, yeah, man, dad, after this experience, man, I think I can go to class tomorrow. I'm traumatized. And he's like, man, don't play with trauma. You like, man, for real, man, my freshman year of college, man, they coming up talking about, I had to shoot it. I'm traumatized. I don't think I can go to class tomorrow. So, So Cam said to me, he was like, everybody got this perception of where we come from at Wilson. He said, it won't wait till I get to college for something like this to happen. That's what he said. But yeah, everything turned out to be good. And man, I'm going to say this. Shout out to University of South Carolina staff. Keep you updated. Yeah, for keeping them updated, the quick response to even though something wasn't what it was. But shout out to them, man, for handling that the way they were supposed to handle it. You got the email and They ain't know my wife. What, they got an attitude at you? What? Let me call, see what's going on. See, Cam called me as they were going into the room. And I'm like. See, I got two there, but I know my daughter's in her apartment, but she just so happened to be on campus at the time and headed to the library. So I'm like, let me find out what's going on. So once I talk and FaceTime with them, got everything calm and, you know, calming my wife nerves. Right, right. That's what it's all about. It's crazy. Because, you know, and again, I got to do it. deal with it as well as soothe everybody else around me, man. The role of a father, man, I'm telling you, don't get easy. Restore whatever you want to call it. Yeah, so everybody cool and can keep moving because, look, I'm telling you now, my wife will jump on the interstate in a second if anything happen to one of those two that she got up there. Like, look, you got a better chance of messing with the better messing with that one because she's way more ferocious over our children. And I'm thankful for that because, you know, as a man, I can be sometimes absent minded and not thinking to that level and again that's why we design differently she's supposed to be that way and I'm supposed to be the way that I am so it works perfect mesh yeah and like I said got the last one coming up and she worked there and then we go for that next phase of life life without kids the emptiness and how do we do some things differently what we got going on you know we getting them projects and I realize as an old man are we working on something
SPEAKER_02:yeah
SPEAKER_01:so they don't want to hear nothing man they just want quiet and peace so they And their wife got a project for them I don't know The more older I get I start looking at other people's wives And they listen to the projects they got And I'm like okay I ain't got it that bad yet And they do this Oh yeah It don't stop They all And I'm gonna vent real quick Right Again you know My wife works in education She's a teacher Teachers get the best schedules ever. I can cherry place you with a teacher for one second because of the schedule. You get summers off. You get two weeks at Christmas. We get spring break, a week for fall break. Now we got another winter break. Now we got the intersessions. Intersessions. You got breaks all the time, right? Man, I got three weeks to use for an entire year. And so if I get a day off, one day off, and I'm going to just say the day like a Columbus day. Most times, the only few days where the teachers go to work and I'm off. Yeah. On the day I'm off, everybody in the household got something for me to do. Got something for you. And I got to the point I don't want to tell people I got a day off because, you know, you want to sit here and relax on your one day when they got a whole summer to sit out. But, you know, and again, life phase, I'm laughing at my daughter. She's making plans for certain stuff. I'm like, all right, now you may have to work. You never know. You're going to a different field. They work, you know, 24-7. And you may not just be able to get off Thanksgiving for the whole week like you used to. I know you're all from school, but work– Don't work like that You see You know that I'm pretty sure When we like 10 episodes in We'll get into this one day I'm not a big relationship talker But the one thing I I didn't say the one thing One thing I do miss Miss a body relationship man Is having That person That looks out for you As far as so when I was in a relationship you know I can recall the incident where we just sitting talking just a regular day at the house put it that way so just and she looks over at me and casually says okay yeah you got a doctor's appointment tomorrow what no I don't yeah you got a doctor's appointment tomorrow I'm like what but having somebody to look out for you in that sort of way man because we as Men I mean that's especially black Men we don't do those things like we should We don't go to the doctor's dentist all That type of stuff so That's one thing I kind of miss I appreciate my wife because I can say she Sets the appointment you know when I got On you got a doctor's appointment and I got Where I set some myself but If anything look major wrong Whatever she gonna make sure she set it in there Like I ain't got no glasses I probably Need glasses but she ain't set my appointment so I Ain't never went She don't think you need them so you good Correct Hey, but on the flip side, that's the part she care, but I care a whole lot of stuff too. So that, you know, that's how we balance each other out. You know, and I want to make sure I shout out her for that. You know, making sure I, you know, I want to make sure everything comes across as what she does and not me complaining. But, you know, sometimes a brother needs a vent. And that's all. That's all it is. I'm going home to take care of her like I always do. Sure enough. Sure enough. Shout out Beanie. You got anything else, man, before we get into the pick six and all that type of thing? Um, No, I ain't got nothing that's off the top of my head. I think we good for right now. All right. So we're going to get into pick six, man. It's fitting that, you know, we kind of talked about a lot of the music and those sort of things. What we got? That's what I'm trying to see him figure out, man. I'm ready for it. I'm trying to see. You be catching me off guard, so I be ready. I'm trying to get prepared for it. I think. Okay. All right. So just a few things. I'll just scratch it. We'll be all right. We'll be all right. Let's go with either or first. Okay. Friday night or Sunday morning? Sunday morning Okay Hotel or Airbnb? Hotel Memes or gifts? Gifts Morning or night shower? Morning Potato salad or pasta salad? Potato salad. Steve Nash or Jason Kidd? Jason Kidd. All right. Just to answer those, Friday night or Sunday? That's so tough, man. That's why I asked it. Because, of course, football season. Now you get loose. Yeah, Sunday morning and I get the same fantasy. But Friday night, boom. Saturday morning, you know, that kind of go hand in hand. But Sunday mornings, it's something about a Sunday morning, dog. All right. Let me tell you how I feel. How I feel on Sunday morning. That's the one day I can sleep in. I get peace. I ain't got the rush no way. I can kind of move at my own pace. That's why I say it kind of depends on the time of year. Because sometimes Saturday mornings can be like that. But not a whole lot. Especially as a grown person, I should say. And when you got kids. That's why Saturday mornings is done. And Saturday morning is like goddamn Monday morning sometimes. And look, now I'm starting to get my Saturday mornings back. So, look, a Friday night in the last... I'd say probably four years. Yeah. I'd probably say five years. Most Friday nights, if I ain't at a football game or a basketball game, I'm at the house. I'm chilling. I'm good. So it kind of like, but that Sunday morning, nothing like a Sunday morning, boys. Yeah. You can wake up, that's the time I get up and cook breakfast. You know what I'm saying? Like I'll make sure I get whatever going. We probably should be at church, but you know. Hey, look, they messed up when they put it online. We can get the word. They messed up when they put it online. But that's another conversation. I can go on somebody's live. Shout out to Pastor Marty Quick. Yeah. Hotels and Airbnbs, I'm going with hotels. I don't want the responsibility of the Airbnb. Yeah, too much responsibility with the Airbnb, man. That's why. Hotel, I'm popping in, pop out. Yeah, man. Ain't got to worry about it. I'm walking out with a towel or two. And most of the time, it's just me and my household. So you got to think about everybody else. Hotel, I can, you know, everybody know what to do. Meme or gif? I go with the meme. Morning or night shower? I do both, but I got. It's twofold, right? I got to have it at night. night. See, that morning wake me up. That morning kind of like, okay, the night shower is like one of those. You got to get it off you. Yeah. When you get the night shower, I had a long day. I got to get it off me. And then two is like, you know, want to get in the bed. With a woman, you want to get in the bed fresh. Yes, sir. Nighttime is the right time. Potato salad, pasta salad. As long as it ain't got shrimp in it, I'm going with pasta salad. I ain't going to say I can't stand pasta salad, but I very rarely eat pasta salad. Shout out to my mom. My mom made the best pasta salad ever, though. And look, man, you know one of those things, everybody say that, and when I have it, and I'm not saying that all of it's bad, but it's just not on my palate. Sometimes my mom put a little pepperoni in them. Oh, my gosh. Steve Nash, J. Kidd, I'm going with J. Kidd. Yeah. All right. So that's the first part of pick six, man. We're going to go with the second part. Of course, question based, man. I wish I can go live, but it's all good. We picking six. How many tattoos do you have? Five. Just off of that, what was your first one? I remember. Sean, you got my name tattooed in an old English letter. You hid it from your mama. Yeah, man. Tried to during basketball season. How you gonna do that? Look, I gotta go in the store, right? So you brought it up. And I'm gonna go back to the store. So this is, we went to St. Petersburg. Well, we went to Tampa, Florida. Tampa, yeah. Tampa, Florida. So we down there with the basketball team and we got a tournament. And I just happened to be the only one over 18 that legally can get No, you and Shannard. Yeah, Shannard, my bad. Shout out to Shannard, Superman, my bad, dog. But we were the only two old enough to get tattoos. I don't think Shannard got one that time. He did. He got the Superman tattoo. Okay, yeah, my bad. Shannard got one, so I know. Also, me, Dane Hamrick. I ain't mean to call his whole name, but me, yeah, Carlos, and Major. And all of us going in. All y'all got one, yeah. Yeah, man. All of us supposed to. I can sit here and talk about them. I'll witness them. their first tattoo and none of them were of age. But anyway, I got Sean written across in old English letters, something I always wanted. And then I'm like, damn, I got to go home and tell my mama. But I ain't want to tell my mama because my mama kind of react kind of volatile. I'm used to the volatile reaction, but I was the oldest. He calmed down, but at the time I didn't realize it. So when we playing basketball season, I used to go, you know, no shirt, no t-shirt. So I got my whole arm out and all you see is Sean written across the side. So I'm like, okay, so I'll find out where my mama at in the stands and when I'm in time I'll say I'm standing a different way so she can't see it I'm about a month and a half two months in on this you know what I'm saying so we good everything done and I come home comfortable forgot walk around the house with no shirt on boy what the hell is that on your arm and here it goes I'm trying to oh it's a tattoo like everything good when the hell you got that on your arm I got this back in Christmas I'm trying These y'all are new and we good. I said, I thought you heard the news. Boy, you know I didn't know about that. I've been saying something. So I'm sitting here laughing to myself like, yeah, I got that. I don't even know.

No, you good. That was funny. We already talked about this. If you could pick a time to relive, what would it be? If I had to pick a time to relive, in all honesty, I'd probably go back to high school. I knew your answer before you said it. Part of it is like two colleges is one thing, but high school I would have made some different choices that would put myself further ahead. And some of it like colleges, man, look, and I'm going to say this out loud and I'm so hurt. I was hearing about Bitcoin 20 years ago and I could have gotten involved but I was a young ignorant you know kid that ain't know anything about investment but I could have been a multi-millionaire probably at this point but if I go back to those times I take those type things more seriously and that way put myself further ahead but that's the reason why all right what was your first girlfriend's name my first girlfriend name We local, but I'm
SPEAKER_02:going

Ivory Lowder and Justin Durant. Okay. Dan Durant, either one of them. Whichever one the most. Yeah, Ivory Lowder. I know she was big time at North Carolina WNBA star, but probably them two.
UNKNOWN:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Probably Ivory. She won the all-time. Probably Ivory right now because she do the commentating and stuff. That's what I'm saying. So right now, yeah. I know Justin is the person. He low-key. He don't care nothing about the spotlight. Yeah, both of them really as far as what they got going on now. But Dan had the spotlight. more than Justin that's my personal opinion y'all can get at me if y'all want to yeah All right, so if I had to, going back, how many tattoos do I have? I have zero. Yeah, I always wonder about that. I think you and somebody else don't have none. Goat don't have none. Yeah. Unless he got some as a reason. No, that's what I'm saying. A couple of boys and y'all, like, man, that's crazy. Yeah, me and him don't, too. I've been in the chair three times. Okay, what happened? You got to break that one down. So I've never, and all three times was, so, okay, let's Take it back I wasn't in the chair This particular time But the time you spoke of When you got your first I ain't want to get my ass cut When I got home That's why I didn't even go with y'all I ain't even go I ain't go I was living life on the edge So I ain't even go But the other But the three times man I just I didn't want to get my name I didn't want to get the cliche thing And I just could never know What I wanted So I'm like man I don't know what I want. I say I'm going to get one more, and it's going to be something like a family tree, something along those lines. So I'm going to have something that, you know, connects and is how I'm connected to certain people, the branches or something like that. And I think that's what tattoos are all about anyway. Because I got my grandfather, you know, like angel wings type thing. My grandmother, that was the closest one I was to ever. So I'm debating on how I want to do hers because I told my kids I'm going to get the tattoo with them. They tatted up. Yeah, my son got cam guys. two or three now he wanted me to get one with him but I'm 42 bro I'm too old to do that yeah I said I'm gonna get one we did a Christmas present we said we're gonna get one with our kids he wanted me to get one he wanted me to get his first one with him but I'm like we both get our first one at the same time but do your thing I just feel like that time done passed nah it ain't even me nah so yeah but I took that opportunity man that's a story you can always share yeah it is but at the same time I got to live with it I could sit here and say yeah I got it with my son but you know nah that story more powerful pick a time to relive again and we talk a lot of people people that listen might say boy they stuck on their high school days but y'all don't understand when you live life like a rock star for a few years we done things and when I know when I got to college the people that I met in college the things they would talk about wanting to do I'm like bro what we did that years ago so that's just you know and it's not just for the fun it's just for the things we We will redo My first girlfriend's name You know what I gotta think Who was the first though?
