Checks, Choices, and Changing Standards

This episode covers a wide range of headlines across politics, culture, and the economy, starting with the viral TMZ message involving Congress and the broader conversation around how lawmakers are being treated. We highlight Tyler Perry stepping up to support TSA workers with $1,000 gift cards, while Delta makes a bold move by suspending flight perks for members of Congress, alongside a clear breakdown of the recent paycheck timeline confusion. Apple CEO Tim Cook weighs in on society’s overreliance on cell phones, and on the military side, new recruitment realities show the Army leaning more on waivers, with the age cap still at 34 and past marijuana use no longer an automatic disqualifier. In sports and culture, we touch on the latest involving Tiger Woods and Offset’s gesture of buying a car for a fan who helped save his life. Globally, the UN declares the enslavement of Africans as one of the gravest crimes against humanity, and in the economy, FedEx pushes same-day shipping forward, signaling where consumer expectations and logistics are headed.

That it might create a stir. People have said, oh, you know, she knew it would get this reaction. My ego is not that big. I don't dress for people. I dress for myself and for my husband. That it might create a stir. People have said, oh, you know, she.

SPEAKER_02 0:22

Happy Saturday, Rufus. It's so good to see you. I'm your wonderful host, Craig.

SPEAKER_03 0:27

Did you moisturize your ears, Craig? Good morning.

SPEAKER_02 0:29

No, I'm raw dogging these headphones.

SPEAKER_03 0:31

So raw dogging some headphones. That's crazy work.

SPEAKER_02 0:34

Yeah, this is just where we are. So shout out to everyone that has um dry skin issues. You know what? My week um has been pretty good. Uh I was off on Wednesday and Thursday, had the opportunity to go down to Miami, Florida for my partner, and I'll say she's my niece as well. His niece crossed over to Aka Land. And for those of you who are not familiar with that, that is Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. She is now on AKA and she did that as a sophomore. So shout out to her. I won't name her. Um, but I'm excited, and it was a good way to just take a break. So for those of you who are looking for things to do, I think you should just take a break. Not necessarily on the weekend when everybody's outside, but do it definitely in the middle of the week. So it was a good way to break up the redundancy and you know, listen to the previous episodes. You know, Rufus out a fool, right? Roger's been a fool. And so it was a good break away from the craziness. So, how about your week?

SPEAKER_03 1:33

My week was good. Congrats to your niece on her uh achievement. Uh, that's good news. Well, my week was good, um, uneventful. Um, you know, just a regular week, nothing special. Nothing to brag about. I'm here.

SPEAKER_02 1:44

Good, good. We made it, we made it. And for those of you who are wondering, who that lovely voice that serenaded us at the beginning of the podcast that was the voice of the lovely Carrie, excuse me, Pastor Carrie Bryant. And I had to take us back to that viral dress moment, and it could have been months ago, doesn't matter. But nonetheless, I just it always stuck with when she said, My ego is not that big, you know. And I just, I don't know. Anyway, she opened a show up for us this morning. That's Jamal Bryant's wife.

SPEAKER_03 2:11

Um, so she's like, opposition to what Beyonce said, because Beyonce said, I got a big ego, or he has a big ego.

SPEAKER_02 2:17

And oddly enough to say that, and I know you're gonna say I'm drifting. Speaking of Beyonce, her and Carrie Hilson's beef. Well, I don't think that was a beef. Carrie Hilson explained it. But anyway, Jamal Bryan's wife, since we brought her up and she opened up the show, her name is Miss Carrie Baby, and it made me think about Carrie Hill's son. And I'm like, well, she done hijacked that, right? You know, so how you take this whole moniker? I'm Miss Carrie Baby. No, yeah, so that's quite interesting. So we'll just go ahead and get into it. You know, I don't think we can start the show without anything other than talking about TSA and Rufus. What does TSA stand for?

SPEAKER_03 2:54

Transportation Security Administration.

SPEAKER_02 2:57

Thank you. Because that is not something that I remember, but I definitely remember the acronym. I'm sure NASA stands for something, but don't remember that.

SPEAKER_03 3:04

National Aeronautics and Space Agency or Association. I think it's agency, though.

SPEAKER_02 3:08

Rufus is just full of knowledge. So, you know, I wouldn't know what that is, but I'm so glad that we have him, and that's what makes the show great. So speaking about, they actually might be able to get paychecks is, you know, what is coming up and they're saying as of Monday. And so we've talked about it in previous episodes. I believe maybe definitely the most recent one where TSA pretty much, I guess when I looked it up, they work in the rear. So the issue has been they've been going through this payment restructuring for some time. And so the payment that's supposed to come on March 30th is for the work or the previous two checks that they missed. That work was already done, you know, and that's that's outside of a potential government shutdown. And I think we're right now at a partial shutdown, is what has been reported. So um, shout out to them and and those who have, I know what we talked about Atlanta now, it makes sense to me. I remember Dr. Heavily saying, from Mary to Medicine, soon to be the Congresswoman for District 13 in Georgia, for all of us, Georgia listeners, you know, make sure you go out and vote for Dr. Heavenly. Um, speaking of that, she said, go bring them food. You know, they cannot take cash. And one person that did attempt to take a large sum of cash to the TSA workers was the wonderful and awesome, as some would say, Tyler Perry. And he was quickly turned around because they were not able to save that gift. So um maybe two days later, what he ended up doing was giving them $1,000 gift cards. So, you know, while I think he is definitely capitalizing, not capitalizing, but leveraging the media to put out some positive stories opposed to the ones we've seen, you know, with those white boys that are suing them uh civilly. But um, yeah, yeah, I I I think that's good. Um, so shout out to him. And Delta suspended flight perks from members of.

SPEAKER_03 4:55

Can we go back a little bit? I'm sorry to question more clarification on. So you said that they're receiving back pay for the hours that they've already worked. Does that does that mean that they they're not getting paid for the work they're doing from Monday onward?

SPEAKER_02 5:08

I think that's gonna be caught up, yeah. So I think the the paychecks is what was in the rear. They're saying governmental workers are always paid in the rear. So the two checks, the most two recent checks that they missed was for work already done.

SPEAKER_03 5:19

So they're not getting paid from Monday forward.

SPEAKER_02 5:23

I don't know about Monday. See, that's where it's kind of getting confusing. I think even the March work is what would probably be paid in April, maybe. The March work is paid in April. So potentially they're not applications. Yeah, yeah, potentially that they're they're not. Um, and and speaking of TSA, um, I want you to kind of expand upon this because I don't necessarily know about the flight perks that a Congress member might get. I know I've seen videos of them bypassing the long um lines, but what what why did Delta, well, we know why they suspended it, but but tell us what were the flight perks? What does that mean?

SPEAKER_03 5:54

Well, I don't know because I don't work for TSA, so I'm not really familiar with the specific rules and regulations are with regard to Congresspeople um bypassing security, but I I have been I am familiar with some Congresspeople and maybe Senate people um bypassing security um in my personal experience, but I'm not sure what their specific rules and regulations are, so I yeah, I can't speak to that for real.

SPEAKER_02 6:21

Um basically I don't think they were able to skip the line, you all. I don't know what all the perks Delta was giving them.

SPEAKER_03 6:26

Um that came with a Delta ticket, but and it may not be tied to TSA, but nonetheless, I think Delta's just saying F you right now good for them for that because they should they should be going through security like every other person in the world. Because just because you're a a a lawmaker, what makes you and and I think the point of not the point, but as as a being a public servant, why do you get this special treatment? Correct. You know, yeah, so good on good on Delta for that.

SPEAKER_02 6:54

Yeah, absolutely. And and speaking about the fuck you, TMZ has shown up in a way that I haven't seen them showing up two days ago. Um, they have put out this message, so we'll hear from them.

SPEAKER_00 7:05

Talk to everybody in our audience right now that if anybody goes to Disney World with their family um for a spring break or goes to a beautiful somewhere or anywhere on vacation, and you will be one of the five hundred and thirty-four five hundred and thirty-five members of the Congress and send it to us at the end of the four. We will post that picture on our website or on our social media, and we will put it on our television shows. We want to know what we are doing at your expenses, and we want everybody to hear that and we um are waiting for those pictures.

SPEAKER_02 7:53

Okay, so I know I've heard you always talk about you know them getting paid and nobody else getting paid, but I don't know what any of these motherfuckers look like. So I just remember one of them was an old white lady, and I'm saying she old, they age faster than us. Um, but she was blocked by the security guard. I can't think, but somebody was actively recording her in the airport. Like, look at this bitch. And I think she did actually bypass security. So whatever. Um, don't know what state she was in. Don't even remember that lady's name, but it popped up on my thread yesterday. And you all, you know, so if you know what the motherfuckers look like, good luck to you. Send their asses to TMZ and put them out. What about you, Ruth?

SPEAKER_03 8:32

I was just gonna say to me that goes along uh in line with uh the the rat faced ugly motherfucker Raphael Cruz, aka Terry Cruz, jumping ship and going to Mexico when we had the uh the big freeze a couple years ago. So, you know, it seems like the same kind of shit. He more recently ran.

SPEAKER_02 8:52

Uh yeah, that was like within the last week or so.

SPEAKER_03 8:55

Yeah, like last year.

SPEAKER_02 8:56

No, something last week, like they know what he looks like. They know what that fuck is.

SPEAKER_03 9:00

He'll ugly rat-faced, long-nosed bitch.

SPEAKER_02 9:03

Yeah, they know what he looks like. I've seen a picture of him on a United flight even probably yesterday. And so people it when they talk about surveillance, everybody is surveilling his ass. So he he is notable, you know. So he he is definitely notable.

SPEAKER_03 9:17

And very ugly, I might add.

SPEAKER_02 9:19

Wow. Well, yeah, yeah, I agree with that. So, you know, I I definitely agree with that. Um, one thing about it, you know, just speaking of that, and and I I, you know, being on the phone since I just mentioned that, you know, the Apple CEO has come forward and has really said to users, you know, get off of your smartphones. He has put us in time out. And his quote, um, as reported by Complex, he says, I don't want people looking at their smartphones more than they're looking in someone's eyes as if they're scrolling endlessly. This is not how you want to spend your day. Go out and spend it in nature.

SPEAKER_03 9:59

I can appreciate that, and I will clap for him saying that. Um, you know, they had the big lawsuit with um Google and uh Google whatever company owns Google, and I think Meta and some other company, Instagram, but where the teenagers in California were, they were suing because um some young person said that that she got depressed based off of social media and um unalived herself. No, no, she didn't she didn't kill herself. Um, because I don't like the word unalived. I think you need to say the whole word so that people can hear you because we need this language. Um but I don't think she killed herself. She ended up her and her family ended up suing those companies. And I believe that the government or the whatever the judge found the companies liable. Um saying that those comp it's like, you know, back in the day when they had the cigarette suits, the cigarette companies got sued by other people's families and they won. It's kind of along those same lines. So I'm glad I like that because social media is not real life, and all that's on your smartphone is at this point social media, which we need to be able to interact with people in real life. Like kids of today don't know how they don't know how to have a real conversation with a real person. It's just not a thing anymore. People don't even know how to write in cursive because all they do is type on their cell phones, and I think we need to get away from that. So I would agree um with the Apple CEO saying what he said. Yep, and they don't teach cursive in school anymore.

SPEAKER_02 11:18

So shout out to Tim Cook, Apple CEO, telling us to go touch grass, go touch grass.

SPEAKER_03 11:24

And touch some people wait a minute.

SPEAKER_02 11:27

You always get on me about that.

SPEAKER_03 11:29

How we can't touch not not with permission. I mean, don't just go touching on people, but go have a conversation, go to the go to the place with your friend, go to the mall with your friend, go do something with your friend, talk to them, sit around, have lunch, you know, have human interactions. We need that. I agree.

SPEAKER_02 11:47

So shout out to Tim Cook for doing something good and trying to escape being liable before people bring those motherfucking lawsuits his way.

SPEAKER_03 11:55

And say the words, don't say unalive people.

unknown 11:58

Stop that, please.

SPEAKER_02 11:59

This will be going to YouTube, and eventually we know one day we will be monetized over there. So given that, we will we will be in compliance with those guidelines, even over here. So one thing we'll just pivot from this moment, and you know, you see these captions, and I want to do a little bit of research. So I saw this big ass, you know, bold letters, um, and it was actually Fox 26 in I think Houston that reported that the army is raising the age to 42.

SPEAKER_03 12:28

42.

SPEAKER_02 12:30

And um something about you can smoke weed and get in, maybe, uh you won't be, but so I did a little research, you know, to make sure we understood that I did. Uh Rufus is more familiar with this than than me. And so what it really is is waivers. And so um, given that we are at war um with Iran, Iran, Iran, you do say this every week.

SPEAKER_03 12:54

Iran, pick one as the Iran. Okay, sure.

SPEAKER_02 12:59

Those people. And so um the official age is still 34 for active duty. Um, but but what they're allowing is because there is low um recruitment for those to join the armed pharmaceuticals. My goodness, pharmacy. What's going on? Um not sure where that came from. Um, yeah, so they're using more waivers, but but what it also means is if you had a past marijuana um use, it's no longer an automatic disqualifier. And also applicants with minor marijuana-related legal history could also be eligible through waivers. So basically, come one, come all. Um, and and it's because it's marijuana is still um, wait a minute, didn't we just have it's illegal federally, right?

SPEAKER_03 13:44

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 13:44

That's the reason why, yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta waive it. So they're they're they're trying to really engage um definitely young people um to join it. And and just because you smoke a little dope, or you smoke a little weed, for those who are not familiar with dope. Um you know, we've, you know, I'm happily aged, okay? Um, it just, you know, you can you potentially go get in the the army. Um and and Rufus, what are your thoughts?

SPEAKER_03 14:08

Um as a veteran of the world's greatest Air Force, um, I would say that I don't think marijuana usage has ever been a uh a deterrent or a disqualifying factor for joining the military. I know several people who joined the military after smoking weed for years and you know, years and years and years. Now, whether they lied on the on the application, I don't know. That's not my business. But I know people, like most people I know, smoke weed before they came in the military. Um, so I don't know that there was ever um like a a genuine disqualifying factor. Um, but I can see why they're look um upping the the age or giving way more waivers because nobody wants to be in the military today. It's just like it's a lot of jobs that people don't want to do. Most people in this world today want to work nine to five weekends off. Now, the military is mostly that schedule, but I can see why somebody would not want to join the military. Um, but speaking for myself, it was the greatest thing I ever did for myself. Um, so yeah, those are my thoughts.

SPEAKER_02 15:13

Thank you for your service. Um, I know you get that regularly. Um, and we'll just leave it there. So thank you for your service. See, I didn't out you. Uh, we'll just take a pivot and have our wonderful sports moment. And as of yesterday around 2 p.m. in Jupiter Island, Florida, Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover crash for his Range Rover. He was driving an SUV that attempted to pass a truck at a high speed and it clipped the trailer. The vehicle flipped over onto its side. And the immediate outcome, there were no serious injuries reported. He exited the in the vehicle himself from the passenger side, and he was arrested on the scene for suspicion of DUI. So, what was asked of him by officers was he was able to do some uh field sobriety tests, but he did not want to do the breathalyzer. Um, so what happened upon what they they took him into um the actual, I guess when he was locked up, I don't know, when they took him in. He did do a breathalyzer, but it showed 0.0% of alcohol being present in the system. Um, but the officers did, you know, of course, observe some signs of impairment. So um, you know, they suspect that maybe some medications or drugs may have been involved. Um, of course, he refused in a urine test, um, which led to an additional charge. So he has been charged with DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to lawful test. And I know your brains are probably going off. And he's like, well, wait, none of this guy have a history of accidents. So, you know, not necessarily a pattern of, you know, alcohol-related crashes, but uh, you know, he's not making the best decisions when he gets behind the wheel of a car because if we go back to 2017, um, he did have a substance-related impairment um with some prescription drugs, and I think that's when he went off of the side of a mountain or something in his genesis, and that was in California.

SPEAKER_03 17:08

Is that when the lady beat the car with the golf club?

SPEAKER_02 17:11

No, I that might have been sooner. Was that the ex-wife? Yeah, I think that was the ex-wife. And in 2021, he had some speeding and control of his vehicle issues. Um, and in 2009, there was some kind of minor accident. So, Tiger, you know, being one of the athletes, one of the highest paid and in the world, one of the world's greatest golfers, has had some issues. Um, and so, you know, I always say, get some help. But I I think he's now with it's Donald Trump's son's ex-wife. That's who he has chosen as his girlfriend. Um, which is all just yeah, it's all weird. And so I'm just wondering, you know, a sister wouldn't have let him get behind the wheel of that car. So I know. You know, she would have took his motherfucking key. Maybe and said, we ain't risked it at all because your ass wanna get behind the wheel and drive with your whatever is in your system. And she may have even gotten him some help, you know. Uh hopefully. Maybe Tyler Perry will make a movie about this. I think that'll be a good opportunity for you.

SPEAKER_03 18:13

I just uh I feel like with the amount of money that he probably has, I think you can hire a driver. Yeah. I mean, if you if you don't, if you're gonna be impaired, then you know, spend that. I don't know how much a driver costs, spend that little money. Because to you, it's probably a drop in the bucket. So spend that, I don't know, couple out. I mean, if you want to hire me, I'm available to drive, you know. I won't even charge you that much as somebody else would. I might charge you a little less. So, you know, I'm I'm thinking he could probably afford a driver though.

SPEAKER_02 18:40

Mr. Coblazian. But he doesn't have anything black in his system. Is he black at all?

SPEAKER_03 18:44

Yeah, his dad is black, was black. His mom is Asian, his dad is black, but I guess we know.

SPEAKER_02 18:49

What is cablazian?

SPEAKER_03 18:50

He made that shit up. He called it cobbling Asian. This is from Oprah years and years ago. Caucasian, black, and Asian.

SPEAKER_02 18:56

But where the white come in?

SPEAKER_03 18:58

I don't know. His dad, I think his dad might be mixed, but you know, mixed the one-dropper rule, you're black. So um, yeah. Let him stay over there.

SPEAKER_02 19:05

We don't want him. And speaking of black, you know, we'll just pivot again and go to something else. We we done. Good luck to you, sir. Um, and I, you know, it's crazy that that happened on a Friday, and I want to say maybe the day before or two days before I was reading it. Tigers returned to golf. You know, a big highlight. Uh big timeline. Oh, I don't know, but they are.

SPEAKER_03 19:24

Go ahead, keep keep going. I'm gonna look at it.

SPEAKER_02 19:26

Um, the United Nations votes to recognize enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime. And given that it says the UN recognizes the translatic, transatlantic, excuse me, slave trade as the most serious crime against humanity, adopted by a large majority of the historic resolution led by Ghana, marks a major step towards global recognition of the atrocities of slavery, and it opens the doors to discussions on justice as well as reparations. And so um when we think about those that voted, just giving it, you know, 123 countries voted in favor, three against, to include the United States, Israel, and Argentina. And 52 just abstained and said, you know what, we are not gonna speak on that necessarily. So um, Rufus and I both live in these United States of America, and um, we're not surprised.

SPEAKER_03 20:27

Not at all. Based on the history of Hamzar.

SPEAKER_02 20:31

The the history that they're erasing, because you know, I always talk about living in the great city of Philadelphia and those motherfucking plaques now, and they have not been returned, okay? That talks about slavery. They have not been returned. Um, so yeah, I yeah. Don't know what to say.

SPEAKER_03 20:45

It makes the question like, what does the United States think is the greatest um atrocity ever? Like, because if it's not slavery, then what could it be? Um maybe the Holocaust, but uh the slavery, the Americ, the Atlantic slave trade happened right here in these great United States that we live in. So um I'm a little confused. Uh officials of the United States, what say you?

SPEAKER_02 21:08

Yeah, so that's that's here we are. Here we are. And I know we just talked about a car crash. I didn't know offset was in a car crash.

SPEAKER_03 21:17

Neither did I.

SPEAKER_02 21:19

Yeah, but he was in a car crash, and there was a guy that was walking, and he he saved Offset in some kind of way. And Offset's way of repaying him was buying him a 2007 Nissan Ultima. Well, he didn't have to do that, so I guess but you know everybody for it be appreciative. The comments were atrocious. Uh 2007. Nissan Ultima.

SPEAKER_03 21:47

Wow. Okay. I mean I mean, oh okay, all right, I I guess.

SPEAKER_02 21:53

It just made me think, Isn't she lovely? That man could do some damage in that damn thing. Ultimate they are the dirtiest cars. Uh-huh. And as far as fuel, I mean, they can still be driving with doors missing, roofs missing, no wheels, trunks torn off, bumpers torn off. You know, that is a vehicle. It's almost like the is it a bumper cart that you can drive on the road? Almost. Well, I think they're always wrecked. Anytime I see an ultimate, it is wrecked. Definitely that 2007 model.

SPEAKER_03 22:28

I had a 2008 Ultima, and they're great on gas, and that's all I say about it.

SPEAKER_02 22:32

And drive forever, and you can wreck forever. That car is not, no airbags are gonna deploy. Because I'm like, why is that car wrecked? That car is those cars last forever. And I remember seeing this clip on um, it was Instagram, and it was like it was like the great reveal of the body redesign, which could have been that 06. I think it was like around, well, 05 was like that little egg one. So I think it might have been 07. So shout out to you, I'll set you. And the caption read, the world just didn't know what they were releasing to the streets. Because they went in Nissan fact, yeah, they were released, they were um, it was coming through like the assembly line, and everybody was cheering it on. Like, wow, this is the redesigned Ultima.

SPEAKER_03 23:14

Woo! Where is where is the maxima though? I haven't seen a maxima in like years. Like, are they still making them shit?

SPEAKER_02 23:20

You know what? I wonder are they discontinued too? Because it seems like maybe they're doing like Ford, because a lot of companies are just doing SUVs.

SPEAKER_03 23:27

Yeah, most most cars are SUVs these days, new cars. But I heard that for, I mean not forward, but I heard that Nissan was on his last leg anyway. So I mean, I guess time will tell. Yeah, it means a lot of black people are gonna be unemployed and out of a car. Nissan's aren't aren't really like based on the I had an awesome and it wasn't it wasn't a quality car, but it was something that you know to get you from point A to point B. It's very like a basic ass car that's you know, it's gonna get you where you need to go, but it's nothing to brag about.

SPEAKER_02 24:01

Did you wreck yours?

SPEAKER_03 24:03

Yes, but uh when did I get rid of it? I did have a wreck in it once. I don't know why I got rid of it though. I can't remember. It was a long time ago. Did you get it repaired? I don't remember. I either let me see. I went from an Alta one to I no, I think I ended up selling it to CarMacs, but I had got it repaired after I wrecked it, yeah. Okay, I was wondering because they they drive forever again wrecked with my great on gas, though. Great on gas.

SPEAKER_02 24:30

You know what? My homegirl drove from Little Rock, Arkansas up to Chicago on that same tank of gas until your point.

SPEAKER_03 24:37

And it was my first brand new car.

SPEAKER_02 24:39

Wow.

SPEAKER_03 24:39

First, like 10 miles on it when I bought it.

SPEAKER_02 24:42

Wow, wow. Shout out to Nissan, and we hope it turns around for you. So we we really do. Hopefully that will turn around for you. And so, and just for our economy moment, we're not gonna keep you all too long today. Um, FedEx is doing same-day shipping. Okay, everybody's in it. I don't know how that's gonna work because I'm thinking FedEx is like, like, how would that work? You turn your package in at the ship center and they say, okay, well, let's take it out the back door.

SPEAKER_03 25:10

Like personal packages? Like if I went to FedEx and sent something, they can get it to the whatever the same day. It probably has to be within a specific geographical area. And it had like when I worked at FedEx, we had uh like the early one ship, and they call it FO first, first something another. So they had to be delivered by like nine o'clock in the morning. Uh those were mostly like business packages. But my guess is it would have to be like relegated to a specific geographical area because you can't get a package from like if I go to FedEx right now, it's I think right now it's 7 49 a.m. So I went to FedEx right now, they opened at 8 and told them I need a package to get to, I don't know, Chicago by noon. That's like impossible. So I mean it has to be like probably I live in Texas, so they probably have to say like Dallas, Houston, Austin, or something like that. That'd be my guess, but I can't say for sure.

SPEAKER_02 25:58

Okay, so what it is, it's an actual partnership. So it says FedEx has just teamed up with LazMile Delivery Company OneRail to roll out the same-day delivery nationwide. And this was announced on the 24th, and they're hoping to compete um with Amazon, who has that two to three hour delivery piece. It says the new service, FedEx Tame Day Delivery, um local. It lets customers pick two-hour or end-of-day delivery at the checkout while AI connects orders to a network of over 1,000 carriers for a faster rate. So pretty much it's what you just said. If you're you're delivering something locally, um, you can just go to your FedEx and basically it's privatized. So for those of you who are looking for a job, if you are one of the 300,000 black men that were laid off over the last four months that we spoke to in a previous episode, get your ass over to FedEx, sign up to be one of these carriers, and get you some of this money.

SPEAKER_03 27:01

I'm just trying to see if it's publicly traded because you know I'm looking for all stock um.

SPEAKER_02 27:05

One rail. Stock. And it just says, you know, they cover nearly all the United States, and they have access to 12 million drivers and handlers, and they do up to 80,000 rapid deliveries a day. So shout out to them. Shout out to them. And and just one last bit for the economy. If you're in Atlanta, I think Tisha Campbell is touring, so she's getting money as well.

SPEAKER_03 27:30

I'm I'm okay.

SPEAKER_02 27:32

I'm sorry. Oh, I was hoping for you to finish it. I did my little oh, we can't say Diddy Bop anymore.

SPEAKER_03 27:37

She's still here. You can say Diddy Bop. You can say whatever you want to say, because these we still live in these United States of America where we have freedom of speech.

SPEAKER_02 27:43

Yeah, we don't want to get canceled before we get started.

SPEAKER_03 27:45

Listen, I don't give a fuck about being canceled. Counsel me, baby.

SPEAKER_02 27:48

Because what did Usher say? I think Usher came out recently to say, oh, that's a misrepresentation of the truth. He said something like that.

SPEAKER_03 27:54

I don't know what he did say that about Diddy. Yeah, so maybe that wasn't his experience, but that nigga did go to uh flavor camp. So I in my head, something happened over there. I don't know. In my head, something happened over there, but I wasn't there. I don't know. Okay. Well, because there it is. But hey, I don't know, I wasn't there.
