What is The SmokePit Podcast?

Welcome to the show where nothing is off the table. "The SmokePit" is a place where we talk about any and everything. From celebrities acting out on social media, to serious social topics.

Yes, ladies and gents, welcome to 'The SmokePit' where we stay talking about things that would come up at your job's watercooler or smoke pit.

Blak:

Let's go ahead and knock this battle royale out of the way because this group,

Blak:

I

Blak:

feel like they were they were misinformed. Feel like they were misinformed

Mac:

Oh, wait a minute. On some things here. Let me let me bring in the backgrounds. I knew it, bro. We was rushing.

Mac:

I'm like, Brian, don't forget something in this motherfucker bag.

Blak:

All good, my guy.

Mac:

Easy fixes.

Blak:

I had an inspection, so I'm in the same boat.

Mac:

Understandable. Alright. Let me get this, make sure we got him in the right spot. Yep. And then,

Blak:

while you do that, so were you affected by this AT and T shit?

Mac:

Oh, most definitely, bro. I woke up, of course, in the house is connected to the Wi Fi. So, you know, I'm listening to my my playlist and everything, getting the car. It's still playing the playlist because I'm close enough to the house. And then when I get to the turn, the song is over and it won't go to the next song.

Mac:

What the fuck going on out here? And then I noticed that the album image won't come up, and I'm just like, it's weird.

Blak:

Weird

Mac:

and, you know, I hit refresh and it's just like you have no connection. This is wild. I'm looking. I got like all 5 bars and shit, but I don't see the little 5 g And I'm thinking, you know, let me restart my phone. We started it.

Mac:

We started it. I'm looking around. I'm like, bro, what's going on out here all the way up to work, restart and restarting. I get into work. I hit the Google.

Mac:

I'm just like, hey. Oh, yep. There it is. AT and T outage nationwide. Yep.

Mac:

News was covering it and shit. But the good news is, when I'm in my office, I work in a skiff. So, like, I don't have my phone on me. So by the time I left work, shit was It was back. So Yeah.

Mac:

It didn't really affect me too much except for the fact that I had to listen to the radio on the way in. And, you know, that's

Blak:

Mine, it affected me greatly because I was supposed to have inspections yesterday. So

Mac:

I get there

Blak:

I get there, and I'm, like, bringing up everything, then I so my phone is connected to my, computer. Yeah. Like, I have to unlock it with, a app they give they put on your phone.

Mac:

Uh-huh.

Blak:

So I go to log in, and, it's like nothing. So I see it's an SOS, and I'm like, I'm like just like you. I'm like, I need to restart it.

Blak:

Let me

Mac:

go ahead and restart, miss Dave.

Blak:

Yeah. Let me go ahead and restart.

Mac:

Card back up.

Blak:

So the inspector was there. He was like, you want me to come back tomorrow? And I was like, no. Not really. Because I don't wanna be doing this shit on

Mac:

a Friday. Right.

Blak:

Right. So but, yeah, he canceled it yesterday, so I had to do it today.

Mac:

Oh, damn. Damn. Damn. It'd be like that sometimes, man, but at least it's done.

Blak:

Yeah. It's done.

Mac:

And, we we can move on to the weekend without worried about some shit like that. But, yeah, apparently, a lot of people were upset. You know, it gave Verizon cats and T Mobile cats, you know, their time a little shine and be like, yo, still using AT and T. Like, bro, stop acting like AT and T and one of the big 3, cell carriers out here, bro. You know what I'm saying?

Mac:

Uh-oh. What we doing out here? What are we doing out here?

Blak:

The, the outage had a had an effect on everybody. Look. Did it hit you again?

Mac:

No. Because I got a Cox is my Internet out here. Oh, okay. Well, if you're using a cell coverage or, you know, whatever, like, I don't Well, I got

Blak:

AT and T Wi Fi. So No.

Mac:

That's shit. I

Blak:

was like, oh, shit. Alright, bro.

Mac:

Sell your company, bro. They on there. Because, like, my Internet was still up. It just booted me off of, streaming out for whatever reason. But your boy's back.

Mac:

Don't worry about it. We're here. And, I got all the the correct backgrounds. Just hold on. Let me make sure.

Mac:

I got one gotta go. They skimped me on another background. Hold on. You making it All good. It's all good.

Mac:

Maybe that's what it was. It was just like, bro, you doing too much.

Blak:

But, yeah, man, they, that that outage was crazy, man. I was up in there like, man, that movie might be true. That movie might be true. What movie is that? Damn.

Blak:

What's the name of the movie now? I can't even think of it. But it's got a what's her face in there with the lips? Hold on. Let me look.

Blak:

It's on Netflix.

Mac:

With the lips?

Blak:

Yeah. Hold on. You'll you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. No. Not Angelina Jolie.

Blak:

Oh.

Mac:

Yeah. Because I I don't know who you're talking about or what movie you're talking about.

Blak:

Leave the world behind. Julia Roberts. No. The lips. That's all I remember about Julia Roberts.

Mac:

I'm sorry. I just know she got that big ass smile. When I hear the lips, I think Angelina Jolie. Like, I I don't even think Julia Roberts has well, I never paid attention to it. So maybe that's

Blak:

It's not like they're pretty. It's like they're flat. That's why I call them the lips.

Mac:

No.

Blak:

Angeline Jolie is like those lips.

Mac:

Yeah. Like, oh, yeah. Those lips. But, ladies and gentlemen, we've we've we've delayed long enough. Let us get into, this week's house meeting.

Video:

I think we need to have a house meeting y'all.

Mac:

Yes. Yes, y'all. So, I believe it was earlier this week. Actually, yeah, on 18th. Over in the smoke pit, the manager management over there, posted a scenario, with a lot of the, I guess, Hollywood's leading men, who play damn near invincible ass, characters in, their movies.

Mac:

But, you you could have put, you know, a lot more people in this, but I think they stuck with, not only movies, but television shows. I gotta stress that. So as I bring this screen up so you can see the participants in here, we got Hobbs from, Fast and Furious series, and then he had his own spin off with Deckard Shaw, Hobbs and Shaw. We got Frank Castle himself, the punisher, mister John Wick himself, and then, Jack Reacher, which if you do not know, is a show on Amazon Prime where this dude is pretty much a a one man army in and of itself. Now, in this scenario, you can give them whatever scenario you want.

Mac:

It didn't really, say, you know, no weapons in this place or whatever. So just assume they have all the things at their disposal, the chances of them getting in close for hand to hand and all that good stuff. So, we have Hobbs, Castle, Wick, and Reacher. So looking at this, do we wanna go with who we think is, the first one out? Yes.

Mac:

In this, this match up here. So, take it in consideration everything they've done in their their respective, you know, franchises. Who do you think is the first person out of this out of this, battle royale?

Blak:

Hands down. And I mean this with no disrespect at all. Hands down. The first person that is getting out of there, they getting him the fuck out of there too, and it's Hobbs.

Mac:

Oh, wow. That's that's what that that that's it's that easy. Like, is it is it easy he out of here?

Blak:

Yeah. So Hobbs is muscle. Right? It's all power moves. Now out of the 4, he's power.

Blak:

His technique, not so much. Accuracy, not so much. But if he grabs you, holds you, like he's gonna present a problem there. The only problem with that is if he goes up against John Wick, he's screwed because John Wick is an expert at jujitsu. And it's all about if if you get him down, you fucked, bro.

Blak:

So in this scenario, though he's big and he's powerful

Mac:

Yeah.

Blak:

Hobbs is the first one out of there, bro.

Mac:

So counterpoint on that. He did fight, Deckard Shaw. And Deckard Shaw is is some level of a martial artist. Right?

Blak:

Right.

Mac:

I think they went toe to toe. I think I don't know which Fast and Furious it was, when they're both, like like, the malfunction happens in the prison and they're out, and they're just running through all the guards and then they see each other, And then they fight to, like, a fucking a stalemate, if you will. Mhmm. So I think the fact that there's I don't do you think he could legit beat y'all? Because I mean, like, bro, Dom Toretto was going toe to toe with this motherfucker.

Mac:

And I mean, if we throw Dom Toretto in here, like, which I I feel he could be in here as well because this motherfucker don't die either. True. To me, I'll say this. I'll say that, because also Hobbs did fight Idris Alba who was like a fucking superhuman, you know

Blak:

He was on Captain America time. I get that.

Mac:

Yeah. He didn't do it alone though. He needed Shaw to help do it. Right. So I see what you're saying in that aspect.

Mac:

But my thing is I would think Reacher would be the first one out, and and here's why. When it comes to Reacher, like, the people he is fucking up are, like, street level type motherfuckers. You know what I'm saying? He ain't fighting these over the top ass dudes that these other 3 cats are fighting. Like, would be out here fighting the most skilled assassins in the world.

Mac:

You know what I'm saying? This man was out here in John Wick, 2, I believe. When they put that hit out on him and everybody was was chasing him and he was already hurt, And, like, every assassin was jumping his ass, and he was just giving them all the business just to get to the continental to fight, old buddy, the to put that bullet in his head for putting a hit on him. Him. Like, the determination that Wick has.

Blak:

That that counts for a lot. Right.

Mac:

Not saying that for a lot. Doesn't have that, but I haven't seen Reacher fight somebody who is as physically imposing as him. He's always, like, the biggest motherfucker.

Blak:

Be in some situations, though, bro. Like, he do be in some situations. It ain't it ain't, like, hardcore. Like

Mac:

Would it be like situations where it's like he fighting, like, regular regular degular dudes? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he fighting the the criminal enterprise of whatever small town he in. You know? This motherfucker got special ops training.

Mac:

He he ain't really

Blak:

fucked, though.

Blak:

But he

Mac:

ain't fighting nobody really on his level, though. Like, he's he's he's overpowered. Like, is he coming up against anybody who is a a serious threat to him in in the show?

Blak:

No. He just encounters a lot. Not not not not one particular serious dude, but he encounters a lot. I did I give I give him high marks for that too.

Mac:

Okay. Alright. So you got Hobbs out first.

Blak:

Oh, yeah. Both Hobbs is getting washed.

Mac:

I got Reacher out next. So who's your next man out?

Blak:

This is where it gets tricky because any other 3 remaining is a problem. No matter where you go, it's a problem.

Mac:

Yeah.

Blak:

So transparency, I originally picked Reacher, but now I'm kinda rethinking it based off what you said.

Mac:

Uh-huh. Reacher to what? Reacher to win it all?

Blak:

Yeah.

Mac:

Oh, really? Yeah.

Blak:

Because Reacher being some Reacher being some shit, bro.

Mac:

Okay.

Blak:

I think people do be sleeping on Reacher, but if we put him up against someone because we haven't seen him with, like, a wick or a Frank Castle. Right. We haven't seen him with with with any of those types of people. So there, I'm I'm like, alright. I might have to get him out of here for this for the sake of this conversation.

Blak:

I might have to get him because we we hadn't seen him up

Mac:

against we

Blak:

hadn't seen him up against a Frank Castle or a John Wick. We haven't.

Mac:

Right.

Blak:

And these guys are these guys are killers.

Mac:

Yeah.

Blak:

These guys are stone cold killers.

Mac:

So

Blak:

I might I might have to go reach her for the sake of this

Mac:

conversation. Yeah. I mean, physically looking at him, like, I'd be like, in a in a in a in a fist yeah. You know what I'm saying? Just like that.

Mac:

But, like, the level of people he goes up against. You know what I it that that's the only thing that was downgraded. I'm not saying, like, if he had to step up his his game to fight any of these cats

Blak:

Right.

Mac:

That he couldn't hold his own. But from what I've seen, like, he'd be getting into situations, but it's like like like like gangs, like organized crime people who aren't headed by world class fighters or

Blak:

Right.

Mac:

You know Right. Superhuman. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? He's fighting fucking, you know, meth lab fucking people and shit, you know, in in his town.

Mac:

Like, not I'm not taking anything from him, special, you know, special ops, whatever comes to this town, does his shit, wants to rid it of crime. Salute to you, Reacher. I appreciate you. The show is great. It's his show is entertaining

Blak:

It is.

Blak:

When you

Mac:

walk into it knowing what it is. Like, it's not a a Jack Ryan. It's not like a suspenseful thing. You know, Reacher's gonna do some Reacher shit. He has one liners and all that good shit.

Mac:

No different than Hobbs. The only reason I gave Hobbs the the the vouch in the first round is The man is, like, superhuman strong. Like, well, if they were fighting on the fucking parking garage, my man jumped up and hit the ground and caused no. That was Dom that did that shit. But Hobbs is out there, like, breaking out of his cast, jumping.

Mac:

You know what I'm saying? He's doing go to work. Just just the most obscene shit. And and a lot of it goes to, like, in, was it? Hobbs and Shaw when they were in Samoa fighting and they had the fucking helicopter, and he had the chain wrapped on it.

Mac:

And the the the truck was about to fall off, and he was holding on to the train that was held to the helicopter and the Jeep, and he was just holding the helicopter away so it couldn't get away. And I'm just like, get the you know, the Fast and Furious type shit. So that's why I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he he appears to have some level of superhuman in him, but I think that's just what The Rock puts in his contract when he does fucking movies. Like, I gotta do that, dude. Plot armor.

Mac:

Right. However, I haven't seen him be, skilled with any kind of weaponry.

Blak:

This is true.

Mac:

So I feel like and I've seen John Witt take out much bigger and stronger dudes, and I've seen, bro, Punisher be doing some shit. Right? Punisher, like like, there's no way Reacher or Hobbs takes out Frank Castle. So, round 3, I got Hobbs probably being the the the 3rd person, being being taken out. So, to me, it comes down to Wick and and Castle.

Blak:

And this guy yeah. I would I'm gonna say either either or. And this is a real this is a coin toss.

Mac:

Yeah.

Blak:

This is a coin toss because Wick is tough as fuck.

Mac:

Yeah.

Blak:

But Frank is also tough as fuck, and both of them are menaces.

Mac:

100%. 100%. So yeah. You you you wanna give me your winner out of this, out of this group

Blak:

here? 4 shits and giggles. I am going to say, I'm gonna say Frank Castle, bro.

Mac:

When's this, when's it?

Blak:

Yeah. I'm gonna say Frank. I I I know they're both like I said, they're both tough. They're both stone cold killers.

Mac:

Mhmm.

Blak:

I think to get the job done, either Frank kills him or Frank kills both of them.

Mac:

What?

Blak:

Yeah.

Mac:

Like, he don't give a like, he'll go out, but he take it he take it with him.

Blak:

I don't I don't see Frank in the scenario where he's just gonna let gonna let it go. You know what I mean? Like, there's gonna be a consequence for you killing him. Like, you get me, but I got you. I got you too.

Mac:

I hear that. I hear that. This would probably be, like, the fucking longest drawn out bloodiest battle.

Blak:

It'll be so good, though.

Mac:

Both skilled with weapons, ridiculously skilled, hand to hand, knife knife work. Bro, it's a uh-oh. Come on, bro. What are we doing out here?

Blak:

The jujitsu, man. It's, it's whatever. So

Mac:

But like I was saying, like, knife work, dude is nice. Both of them nice. Wick being, like like, always gotten to be on his Wick having to always be on his guard starting with John Wick too Yes. Is is is bananas to me. The thing that that fuels them both, their fucking their their level of vengeance.

Mac:

Like, they're both driven by, I gotta kill the motherfucker that that wronged me. Yes. You know? So I'm trying to figure out whose level of vengeance, whose level of fuck that I don't like people playing on my phone. What level of fuck that?

Mac:

I don't like people playing on my phone.

Blak:

Immediately, I was like, it's Frank, but Wick went to war because they killed his dog, bro. This man went to war.

Mac:

Like, Castle was just like, you know, you killed my family, my wife. Now, you know, that that's that that'll push any man over the edge. Wick was like, you know, my wife died of some illness. She bought me a puppy, and you killed my puppy. And you stole my car.

Mac:

Like Yeah. You know, like, fuck, bro. Like, why you do this?

Blak:

The town's gotta burn

Mac:

Right. Because of this. Yeah. Like, I'm going after the one dude. If y'all just let me go after this one dude and kill him, we ain't got no problems.

Mac:

Alright. But y'all keep getting in my way, so now I gotta kill you. I would say with weapons. Oh, shit. So say you take the yeah.

Mac:

Say you take all the rules off and let Wick go full, which he did kinda in John Wick 3 because when he left the table or whatever, the order of assassins, like, he was he was off the leash. John Wick too, he was kinda still on the leash because he was still operating within the rules of whatever. But then when he was off the leash

Blak:

He became a savage off the leash too.

Mac:

Yes. Yes. And to go toe to toe with old boy and John week 3, who had to jump on him, he had to fight multiple people to get to to him and to go hand in hand with the blade work and all that other stuff. Like, I haven't really seen Frank Castle. I'm not saying that he can't do it.

Blak:

He had to go through some odds too. But that that speaks to his level of I'm killing everybody.

Mac:

The comments is just all on, Frank Castle. Yeah.

Blak:

But I don't know, man. Wick might I don't know.

Mac:

I will say this. Spoiler alert for those who haven't seen chapter 4. It appears John Wick does die. Yes. Like which which I'm just like I'm like, thank god because this man has been through enough.

Mac:

Like, this man was the the the the the level of fucking ass kicking this man would take from because every fight is like he's getting jumped. Every fight and, like, I'm just like, bro, this man has got to be fucking like, and John Wick 4, when they kicked him back down the stairs when he had to make it up to the top, and he had to fucking fight his way, but, like, he was hitting every step on the way down. Like, he fell down Yeah. Like, 7 flights of concrete stairs.

Blak:

A motherfucker had to get there in 3 minutes too Right. And fought his way back up there.

Mac:

Yeah. My man I mean, my brother's in here saying, Wick did need help in John Wick for he did. Old buddy. But old buddy was still kinda after him a little bit, but then they kinda teamed up at the end when they found out who who they really gotta fuck up. Frank Castle needs help too.

Mac:

You know what I'm saying? Like, he got old buddy in the little his little hideout in the the first couple seasons helping him out with some shit, you know, while he's out in

Blak:

the park.

Mac:

It's it's tough because I'm trying to go off just Frank Castle from the Netflix shit. Like, if we're talking to comics, like, I don't think it's a it's a competition.

Blak:

It's not a fair fight. Yeah. It's not a fair fight at all.

Mac:

I do feel I think Castle is more off the chain than Wick, though.

Blak:

I would agree.

Mac:

Like, Castle will kill any, like, in his way and, like, the slightest inconvenience you you put in Castle's way. Like, you gotta fucking go. Like Yeah. I'm I'm killing whoever, whenever, however.

Blak:

That's initially why I picked him because although I think Wick would take an ass whooping, Frank will be more than happy to give it to

Mac:

him. Yeah. And, I mean, Common was giving Wick some problems, but then again, Common was supposed to be, like, the 2nd or 3rd ranked assassin or some shit.

Blak:

Right.

Mac:

And I guess him and Wick worked together or some shit. I don't I don't fucking know the full backstory, but, like, I would say Wick does have a level of vengeance because, like, when old buddy Ian McShane, like, threw him off the joint, like, shot him and he fell down and all that shit, it was just like, you know, then John Wick was like, fuck it. Everybody gonna get this shit then. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Mac:

I don't know. Like, I could see either side winning, but for this battle, I'd say probably Frank Castle comes away with this shit. But it it it's it's like it's like you said. It's it's it's gonna end on his terms. Like

Blak:

Right.

Mac:

Frank Castle's not gonna be like, I'm letting you walk out of here killing me alive. Like, if I gotta go, like, fam, we both out of here. Yeah. John Wick could kill him and just, you know, be on the verge of death and be like, you know, it's whatever. You know?

Mac:

But I don't think Frank Castle, like, I'm not losing. Like, we both losing.

Blak:

Either I'm a I'm a win or we both gonna lose.

Mac:

Right. Yeah. So. Yep. So, I I would say Frank Castle wins this shit, especially if you throw firearms in it off the rip.

Mac:

I know Reacher's kinda kinda skilled in them too. Mhmm. But I don't think he's skilled to it to the fact of where John If we Like, John Wick was, like, the dude where they're just they they was calling this motherfucker the boogeyman. Yes. Man, I forgot a reputation.

Mac:

Like, he's the only one out here, him and him and Castle, Punisher and Boogeyman. But the Punisher is like like his thing. Like, John Wick wasn't telling people to call him the Boogeyman. Like, motherfuckers, his reputation was like when when that motherfucker was like, you stole this nigga's car, fuck. Fuck.

Mac:

You stole this motherfucker.

Blak:

You killed his dog.

Mac:

Like, John Legazamo's like, I'm not John Legazamo's like, get the shit the fuck up out of here. Get the shit out of my shop. I want no problems with this motherfucker. You know what I'm saying? I don't want no problems with John Wick.

Mac:

That that's why I'm looking at John Wick. Like, he may he may can pull it off. But for the

Blak:

Even even when he died, I was like, this motherfucker might actually make it through this shit. Are we getting a John Wick fine?

Mac:

Bro, the fact that this motherfucker like, the beginning of John Wick too. Like, after he killed old buddy, he was just like, now I'm coming for my car. And they knew the car was in the shop. And my man was up in the the thing. He was he poured the shot.

Mac:

He was like, bro, here's peace. Please just take your car and get the fuck out of here. I want no smoke. Right?

Blak:

Please don't kill me.

Mac:

I want

Mac:

no smoke. Don't kill me.

Blak:

Please don't kill me.

Mac:

My man was killing people with horses, killing people with pencils, killing people with cars, like, just slamming motherfuckers with car. Like, the most like, he could kill you with anything, and I'm not saying Frank Castle kid. But I think it's just the fucking

Blak:

The creativity.

Mac:

Frank is is snapped. Like Right. Like, I think his code, I guess, like, Jim put it in the comments. Like, he has a code

Blak:

the scholarship. Yeah.

Mac:

But, like, from point a to point b, whatever he has to do to get to point b is is whatever. You were just in my way. Yeah. So I I think Castle wants this one. My Yeah.

Blak:

I I would agree with you there. I would agree with you.

Mac:

What did what did Eric say? Wick is the best with guns. His gunplay is most precise. Punisher is not trying to scare people. There's no rep.

Mac:

His targets are dead. Yeah. It it's it's weird because John Wick, like, that first movie, like, I swear, like, his accuracy was a 100% with whatever he was fucking shooting.

Blak:

Oh, yeah.

Mac:

Whatever he was. Like, he'd he'd run out of bullets. He'd throw the gun. The gun would still hit you in the head. It's he doesn't miss.

Mac:

And it's it like John Wick 1, I was like, this motherfucker 2 in the body, 1 in the head. Like, solidify. Like, no question you're dead, you know, moving forward. That's the wild part. His kills are cleaner.

Mac:

I would say that. Why do I keep getting booted off this Internet?

Blak:

And he went hands with daredevil, still got up and still killing people. So

Mac:

That's facts. So we give it the we we give it the castle. I'm I'm thinking that's a I mean, you can argue back and forth, Wick. I don't think the other 2 stand a chance between these 2 dudes. But if you could put together a better battle royale, who would you throw in the mix?

Mac:

So if you I don't if you could replace Hobbs or Reacher with anybody, could you do it, and would it be more competitive?

Blak:

The only person that I I would probably throw in there is Hawkeye because Hawkeye Hawkeye is Ronan. Hawkeye is Ronan is that motherfucker's pretty deadly, bro. He was scaring he was scaring the yakuzas. If you scare them, you got some shit.

Mac:

Yeah. Yeah. I was thinking of, Robert McCall from Equalizer, but I don't think he'd fucking with these cats.

Blak:

It'd be it'd be pretty competitive. He's older, but I think I think the age and wisdom would I think he needs prep, though.

Mac:

Bro, 100%, he needs prep. 100%. Like, if you got the jump on Robert McCall, like, it ain't it ain't gonna be. Now he a badass dude when he do his shit where he'd be like, I'm a take I'm a clear this room in, like, 10 seconds. You know?

Mac:

And he tell you the thing I like about Robert McCall is he tell you how he gonna do it. Like, see where you fucked up is, your chair is fucking 7 inches too close to me. So by the time I do this, you won't have time to react. Now your man over here is gonna try to do some shit, but I'm a do this, and then I'm a and he'll do it. And I'm just like, bro, that's cold.

Mac:

Like, I think he gets bonus points for that, but I don't think he has the, the ruthlessness in him because he'd be he'd be caring about people. You know what I'm saying? He'd be caring about people. And that's the shit that pushes them to the limit.

Blak:

Care about in a way and, like alright. Now we got That's

Mac:

his motivation.

Blak:

What do you think about this one? Leon from the professional. Replace Hobbs with with Leon from the professional.

Mac:

Again, like, if we could keep these dudes at a distance, he trouble. I don't really get to like, I feel like if John Wick was to pop into the room where he got his sniper set up at, it'd be problems.

Blak:

Yeah. You're right.

Mac:

You know? You're right about that. That's my shit. That that's where I'm at. So I just think I'm trying to think of somebody who who'd be on the same level of fucking ruthlessness that could that could

Blak:

I don't know I don't know if if this one would be if she'd make it, but Beatrice Kiddo from Kill Bill. Oh, what about Jason Bourne? I like Jason Bourne too.

Mac:

Jason Jason Bourne should be in this bitch. Yeah.

Blak:

Yeah. I like I like Bourne.

Mac:

If you don't know Smoke Pit, what we're doing is figuring out another scenario to put out to the masses. So, any I

Blak:

like Jason Bourne.

Mac:

Any any, you know, input you guys have. So Jason Bourne, I like that. We could probably throw Leon in here. Bourne replacing Hobbs. Alright.

Mac:

Yeah. I I agree. Hobbs Hobbs should be out.

Blak:

We gotta get reach out of there too because

Mac:

Do you think old buddy I forget what his name. Jason Statham from, the transporter. Do you think he deserves to be in mentioned in here? That's a good one. That's a good one.

Mac:

That's a good one. That's a real good one. I

Blak:

don't know. That. I like that one.

Mac:

We'll debate it. And we'll we'll have a new we'll have a new, battle royale. Jason said no. You don't like the, you don't like my man, Jason Statham transporter? You don't like him up in here?

Mac:

Agent 41 from, Hitman. Agent 47? Yeah.

Blak:

That depends. That depends.

Mac:

What if we, what was Jet Li's name in, Fearless?

Blak:

I was thinking about him too. I was thinking about him too.

Mac:

Jet Li from Fearless.

Blak:

Woah, young John.

Mac:

Bro, that motherfucker what what what is the thing they did to set him off? Or did they just sic him on somebody? And then they, like, had to calm him down, but I haven't seen fearless in a minute. But I remember I was watching that movie. I'm like, bro, this boy off the fucking hook.

Mac:

This man is wild.

Blak:

Oh, he said Jet Li is Yulaw. I like Yulaw in the one.

Mac:

Yeah. I but I had high hopes for that movie, and I was I was a little bit let down too. A little bit little bit. But, yeah, let's go ahead and get into the the next, house meeting topic we had. This one is is less brutal.

Mac:

It's the one gotta go, and, I'm a go ahead and share screen. Hopefully, it's still up. Maybe. Maybe I have to refresh it. Yeah.

Mac:

I have to refresh this.

Blak:

Refresh and rewind.

Mac:

Here we go. So now I think this is the one's gotta go that you presented to the, the people. So we got one's gotta go, and we talking, boy bands here. Right? Yep.

Mac:

So as you see here, we got a Backstreet Boys, Boyz II Men, NSYNC, and new addition down here at the bottom. So we're gonna do this in reverse. The first group you got bouncing or the first group that you say has to stay since one's gotta go.

Blak:

The first group I'm going to save?

Mac:

Yes.

Blak:

The group didn't like this one. I I don't know why, but I'm gonna save in sync.

Mac:

1st?

Blak:

Yep.

Mac:

That's the guaranteed hey. Get out of here. You guys good.

Blak:

Yeah.

Mac:

So you would make you would make Boyz II Men, New Edition, and Backstreet Boys sweat and let new okay. Explain, sir.

Blak:

It's about to get hot, people. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Just saying. Just saying.

Mac:

Okay.

Blak:

NSYNC is one of those groups. They came around so NSYNC was around before Backstreet Boys. Right? And being that they grew up as well, 2 of them at least, grew up as Disney kids. I think that means a lot.

Blak:

Right? So they formed a band, grew together, they grew up in the public eye. They have some pretty good songs, man. They they had they had the Gone record, Fire. You know what I'm saying?

Blak:

They just came back together after all this time away from each other for the Trolls movie, and that made noise. That Troll soundtrack is actually really good too. So longevity, And so Justin Timberlake, arguably, one of the biggest stars in the last 20 years came out of this group. JC Chavez, not as big, but people say he's the best singer of the group, arguably. I don't think that's true, but, JC Chavez has he's got some attention out of that.

Blak:

But that is going to be the first group that I save in sync.

Mac:

Yeah. I don't know if you're gonna take I think it just comes down to who you who you kick off. So I think a lot of people are cool with you you saving in sync. I don't know about the first save. Like, the bro.

Mac:

The minute the minute walk in the room, I'm just like, bro, get you why are you even here? Juanye Agreed. Let me tell y'all. Kanye is your favorite singer's favorite singer. You may not know that, but when you talk about runs, this man is legendary.

Mac:

Legendary. I was unaware of that until I went to a Jo Koy comedy show and he brought Wanye up on stage. This man was singing the runs to the end of bended knee. He did the runs to doing just fine and end of the road, and it sounded exactly like it did when they first released these shits back in the nineties. Yeah.

Mac:

When I tell you, boys that like, bro, bro, 4 seasons of loneliness, Song for mama. Fucking Motown, Philly. Bend it. Bro, they were singing breakup songs for me to sing to for girls I ain't even asked out yet.

Blak:

Breaking up with people you ain't even got together with.

Mac:

Right. Oh, you got a boyfriend already? Oh, we've come. Like, bro, they you ain't even going out with her. Ain't no road to be at the end with with her, but still, I feel like I need to be in my feelings about something and boys men know what's going on.

Mac:

Doing just fine, bro. The oh god. The lit the list goes on. Boys to men. And the fact and I think they sang a song that was originally done by 1 of the groups on here better because they did it acapella, and the shit hit different.

Blak:

Yeah.

Mac:

Yeah. And and and we'll get to that, but my first save, Boyz II Men. Alright. Who who you got number 2?

Blak:

Number 2 should have been my number 1, but I had to I had to save I had to save the people that the group

Mac:

is throwing away. Okay.

Blak:

I had to save them. Okay. I had to save them. Number 2 is your number 1, boys to men.

Mac:

Yep. We saving them. Okay.

Blak:

We are saving them. Listen. Motown Philly as an album for people that wasn't around for this album. Bro, that song, oh, I, on that album.

Mac:

Come on, bro. Talk about it.

Blak:

Bro, the first time I heard that shit, I was like, I don't know who these people are. They are fucking smashing this song.

Mac:

Who the fuck these kids is? They older than me.

Blak:

Who are these peoples? Who are these singing them? Who is singing this song? Mhmm. Mhmm.

Blak:

Mama? Mama, you know I that's listen, bro. It is by Rite of Melanin

Mac:

in the month of February.

Blak:

Mother's day, mama. Mama's song has to play. You're going to get the card. You're going to get the flowers, and you're setting that shit up with mama's song. Don't tell me I'm lying.

Mac:

You I I can't. I can't. I I can't think of one one young African American teenager who did not incorporate the lyrics of that song in at least one card that they gave to their mom. Yes.

Blak:

Water Runs Dry? Yes.

Mac:

We don't even I'll

Blak:

make love to you.

Mac:

And I feel like of all, like, of all boy groups coming up in nineties R and B, Juan Yay and them incorporated that.

Blak:

Oh, yeah. Y'all you know some singing was about Man. You hear that shit?

Mac:

Oh, boy. It was like, you heard that? Like, hey. Let's get ready. It's about to go in.

Mac:

They about to go in on this shit.

Blak:

That and the and the and the next shit. Like, Juan Yang

Mac:

Juan Yang, when he hits his runs, everybody was doing that. Like, you can't hit them notes though.

Blak:

You can't, bro.

Mac:

You try to you can't hit them. One Sweet Day with Mariah Carey.

Blak:

Oh my god. Come on now.

Mac:

Come on now. You think I listen to that because of Mariah? No. That's what y'all out here thinking? What up, AD?

Mac:

I see you in the comments. You think I'm out here listening to a one sweet day because of Mariah? No. Not at all. No.

Mac:

Not at all. Brokenhearted? With what? Now let me just say this. I know Janye was dating Brandy, and it was kinda they was looking at it like a r Kelly Aliyah type thing.

Mac:

They they ain't getting married. They you know what I'm saying? Brandy didn't say this man was doing some wild shit to her. They friends to this day. She ain't got nothing bad to say about it, unlike the people that was with R Kelly.

Mac:

So,

Blak:

whole lifetime show. Yes.

Mac:

Docu series breaking ratings. All right, my number 2. Alright. This group gets saved early. Maybe this group gets saved only because I'm not trying to get voted out of the black community.

Mac:

We're gonna go with new edition. Now to reinforce that pick, not just because they black. Alright? If we get rid of new edition, we don't get Bobby Brown solo, we don't get Bell Biv DeVoe, and we don't get the other classics that new edition ever brought us. Now, back in the day, one of our earlier episodes, we had a bracket, best nineties, goddamn it.

Mac:

Oh, why does this keep booting me off? I may have to just I may have to just go, I may have to just go, I may have to just go Wi Fi, because I I got it plugged into the router, and I don't know why it keeps booting me off. But, I know, like I was talking about, the early, the early episode we had the best nineties R and B boy group. Like, I didn't have new addition moving as far as most people would have liked. But the fact that if we have to get rid of them, that I lose Belbiv DeVoe and I lose poison.

Mac:

You know, like, if I if I live in a world where Is it a thing? Or a world where it's driving me out of my like, if if I can't say that and the whole club just shut up and start singing along, I don't know if I wanna be in that world. I don't know if I wanna live in a world where every little step I take ain't a thing.

Blak:

Fair enough.

Mac:

I don't know if I wanna live in a world where, where my prerogative ain't a thing. You know? The rest of them cats, like Ralph Transvaal, he tried to do his thing. You know what I'm saying? I will say it's hard to really defend them because they're trying to go on tour now, and they play these shows, and they out there trying to it's it's sad to watch.

Mac:

They Very. It's sad to watch. We all know they came across some hard times since their departure from, you know, their split, but I can't. Johnny Gill? Yeah.

Mac:

You're right too, man. If if this don't happen, we don't get Johnny Gill. And we need if we don't get rub you the right way by Johnny Gill. We don't get my my my by Johnny Gill. You know what I'm saying?

Mac:

Like, if this group don't happen, there's a lot of nineties R and B that don't happen. It's a lot. So new edition is my second save. Now you have Backstreet Boys and New Edition left. What you doing?

Blak:

Alright. You won't do it, so I will. And I'm just gonna do it on black history month too. I'm dropping new additions.

Mac:

Oh my god. What are we doing? What are we doing?

Blak:

Why? Dropping them. I'm dropping them. Why? Because

Mac:

No. No. State no. State your case for Backstreet right now. State it right now.

Blak:

Listen. Backstreet Backstreet kinda defined what that sound was in the nineties. Mhmm. They did. I gotta give them that.

Blak:

I do not like Backstreet Boys at all, whatsoever. But if you play the back Backstreet Boys album right now or a song right now, people lose their collective shit. It just happens. Mhmm. Backstreet's back.

Blak:

People lose their shit. I don't know what what it is about them. I don't get it. However, out of the 2 Mhmm. And please don't hate me.

Blak:

Out of the 2, if they perform, the crowds, black and white, are going to go crazy for Backstreet Boys. It's just what it is. It's it's just what it is, bro. I don't know why. I hate it, but I'm gonna say it.

Blak:

Somebody has to say it. I will say it.

Mac:

No. Jen's Jen's on board with it. Jen is on board with that. I will say it.

Blak:

Now 2 songs in new editions catalog probably hold a lot of weight in people's eyes or maybe mister telephone man too. But if it isn't love, can you stand the rain? Those are the 2 songs that hold a lot. They hold a shit ton of weight. Mhmm.

Blak:

As a band, I get it. As a band, they they they endear themselves to to black people. They do. We love them. To all people.

Blak:

To all people. I mean, but let's be honest.

Mac:

Let me let me ask you this real quick.

Blak:

Let's be honest.

Mac:

Let me ask you. Backstreet Back comes on. Poison comes on. Which song do you think gets the biggest pop? Like, the intro.

Mac:

Like the first 10 seconds of Backstreet's back. The first 10 seconds of Backstreet's back versus the first 10 seconds of poison. What gets the biggest pop?

Blak:

With you. It's it's probably what and what? If I'm if I'm being completely honest, it's probably what and what? I'm serious. And I since we gonna go that route, no addition, I think we still get a Bobby Brown album, and I think we still get a Belle Bib DeVoe album.

Blak:

I don't think we get them. I I you could get rid of them.

Mac:

The one's got the one's gotta go means that that group never existed. This so you don't get the solos that spin off because to your case, the reason you saved NSYNC was because of, Justin Timberlake.

Blak:

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

Blak:

Hold on. Hold on. Then I gotta go back. Then I gotta go back. Uh-huh.

Blak:

Because I saved Boyz of Men.

Mac:

Uh-huh.

Blak:

So if I get rid of New Edition, then I gotta get rid of Boyz II Men. You're lucky. You're fucking lucky, New Edition.

Mac:

Because they help bring Boyz II Men. That's the only reason you're saving them? Not because they not because of the catalog.

Blak:

That is the only reason.

Mac:

Oh my gosh.

Blak:

Because let's be honest. Boyz II Men did it way better than new edition.

Mac:

But it came out.

Blak:

And that is not a far They

Mac:

came out in the nineties, man. They was doing eighties stuff down here at boys and me are new edition. You know what I'm saying? They was out there

Blak:

with the 3

Mac:

new best in print, and

Blak:

they built the bigger house

Mac:

out of it, bro. I have a whole like, of the 2, I prefer boys to men. But that's the only reason you're saving

Blak:

Yeah.

Mac:

Belvieu.

Blak:

I have to.

Mac:

Alright. So I have to. So we'll erase that part. So just based on catalog alone, based on what they've put out, Backstreet Boys is above new edition.

Blak:

You keep that partner number. Yeah. I'll I'll save them. I I wasn't thinking about it because I was ready. I was ready.

Mac:

Alright. So my 3rd, and that fucks with Backstreet Boys. But when I tell you, if I have to live in a world where the 2020 experience is not around.

Blak:

That album alone.

Mac:

Oh, you? I'll tell y'all right now, I know of NSYNC songs, I know Bye Bye Bye, I know Gone, I know, Every Little Thing I Do. Like, I know I know I know they're bangers. I know they're bangers. But Justin Timberlake, if I don't have the 2020 experience, that double disc masterpiece with both him and Timberland in their fucking absolute Gucci, Louis Vuitton bags.

Mac:

Bro, Justin Timberlake a lot like, don't give me like, Justin is still like, he got some questions to answer if I see him and be like, so you just gonna let Janet take all the blame for that Super Bowl shit. You go on distance. Like, you had nothing to do. Look. I don't know what to do.

Blak:

I told it. You pulled it. You did that. You did.

Mac:

And, you know, it was no yeah. We're sorry. Like, it was just like, oh, no. Janet Janet was taking all the heat, and you was going to Ellen showing everything. I know like shit was cool.

Mac:

I was just like, so you didn't have a part

Blak:

in that, Justin? No. Thank you, but also

Mac:

fuck you. Right. And low key, like, you know, you kinda did Britney Spears dirty. I go hold you. You know?

Mac:

My man was was, you know, I ain't gonna say, like, I still fucks with him. That's still my cousin from, you know, like, 3rd, 4th cut whatever. You know, he's he's he's distant, but he's still family, because he gave me, you know, future sex love sounds with Timbo as well. My man gave me Cry Me A River. You know, he did his shit with the Neptunes on the first album.

Mac:

My man was he was working. He did his shit. But the 2020 experience alone come on, man. Suit and tie. You know what I'm saying?

Blak:

Push a love, girl.

Mac:

Push a love, girl. What was that? Strawberry bubble gum? Spaceship coupe? Mother.

Mac:

Yeah. Spaceship

Blak:

Bro, spaceship coupe as oh my god, bro.

Mac:

Bro, stop it. What are we doing here? Quit acting like

Blak:

spaceship coupe by itself. Yes. Like, the first time I heard that shit, I was like, oh, what what are they doing?

Mac:

Yes.

Blak:

Mac:

Fail.

Blak:

Mac:

Blak:

Mac:

Ladies and I'm a go out and say this. Justin Timberlake, when he was with Timberland, he was low key like the male sizzer. Like, he was giving us breakup songs. Oh my god. This is bothering me.

Mac:

Blak:

This one's for you. A weekend to go see Justin Timberlake at The Forum, bro. Like, I was like, yes. We're going we're going to the show, and it was fucking amazing. And it was a 20 20 experience.

Mac:

Mac:

Blak:

I'm looking at backstreet and, like, they got, you know, I want it that way and Backstreet's back. Those are the 2 where they come on. I'm like, bro. I'm a fucking kill this karaoke shit. Right?

Mac:

Outside of that, Brian really, I I'm not familiar with they they catalog. You know what I'm saying? I'm just not.

Blak:

I give you that. And I

Mac:

Mac:

Like, that's gonna shut shit down too. Yep. But, bro, I I can't I can't I can't get jiggy with this shit in my car. Justin Timberlake shit come on, I fucks with it. You know?

Blak:

Yeah. 2020 still gets played, bro.

Mac:

Yeah. Don't don't disrespect JT like that.

Mac:

Don't do that. Alright. Yo. So give me, one second. I'm a I'm a get off the wired connection and go back to my 5, my, my Wi Fi real quick to see if that'll stop all the drop in and drop out.

Mac:

So give me one second.

Blak:

No doubt. No doubt. And while while he's doing that, this is a perfect opportunity to tell you guys in the Patreon, we for their busy week. We're gonna end this off tomorrow with the RPG, the tabletop r RPG, Fallen Star. Fallen Star Fridays came out today.

Blak:

Go check out that latest episode. We'll be back tomorrow. And, it's gonna be fun. So tap come back.

Mac:

Okay. Okay. We'll see if this helps it out. Normally, when you plug it into the the router, you get the the better connection of the 2, but I don't know what's happening out here. Alright.

Mac:

So that concludes the house meeting. It is time for everybody's favorite segment.

Mac:

After finding out he was on the

Mac:

There we go. Already got the video queued up for the, the shenanigans. But ladies and gentlemen, you know, we can't leave y'all without a weekly whose mans is this, and this one, trust me, is is is one to be seen. So without further without further delay, here we go. So the name at the bottom, you're like, who the hell is Raymond Arroyo?

Mac:

And we'll get to that. But a little bit of backstory. 2024, election year. Shit's about to go down. Shit's about to get real crazy.

Mac:

You know how we do in America. We don't know how to act. Right? And we're starting to shit off early, because, I will say, sneaker con is a big thing. If you're into sneakers, buying sneakers, rare sneakers and stuff, you usually try to hit one of these conventions up to hit bigger cities.

Mac:

So it just happened to be in Philadelphia earlier this month. And while our our loyal sneakerheads are out there looking for their grails, their Travis Scott, you know, ones, the stealth ones and all this stuff. Our former president, Donald Trump shows up. Oh, I I take it you've you've heard.

Blak:

I've heard. I've heard.

Mac:

Go ahead.

Blak:

I've heard and I've seen. The only thing that came to mind.

Mac:

My man showed up. And hold on. Let me let me see if I can bring up the Donald Trump shoes. Oh, so he shows up to SneakerCon to unveil 33 sets of shoes. One of them is the one he dropped at the at the sneaker, which is in the video.

Mac:

I was trying to see if I could find the other ones that aren't the the gold shoes, but they are hideous. I'll try to find them and post them in the group later. I can't find them right now. I don't wanna waste extra time looking for this motherfucking shit anyway. So I'll play the video of him showing up to sneaker con and, trying to get some votes if you will.

Mac:

Try to find a new audience, to get votes from. But, we'll let this play, and then, we'll further discuss how one Raymond Arroyo comes into play. Here we go.

Mac:

Oh, he's gonna have to come up with some cash, and he's Donald Trump apparently is coming up with some creative ways to do so. One day after finding out he was on the hook for more than $350,000,000, the former president unveiled a new Trump themed product to a less than receptive crowd.

Mac:

That's the real deal. That's the real deal. I just wanna thank you very much for being here. It's an honor. It's an honor.

Mac:

You're all sneakerheads. You're sneakerheads. Right? Wow. Lot of emotion.

Mac:

There's a lot of emotion in this room. Thank you. Thank you.

Mac:

First of all, let's know. That's the first time Trump has faced a hostile audience in a long time. It was clear he didn't quite know what

Blak:

to do with those boots.

Video:

Disappointed you're not wearing them, John. Well, it's true. I was sort of hoping you'd add

Mac:

them out in

Blak:

the way that they set it.

Mac:

Camera is only from the next up here. No no footwear reveals, this morning. But that was Trump at Sneaker Con for some reason, which was held in Philadelphia over the weekend. And he did roll out a new line of shoes, selling for a cool $399 a pair.

Mac:

I wanna stop here so you can look at these motherfucking shoes. So you're muted. I I saw you going off. I saw you going off. I was like, the people need to hear this.

Blak:

He took them shits off the mimes, bro.

Mac:

Yep.

Blak:

Like, straight off the streets. He bought them goddamn felis from, Marshalls

Mac:

and dip those bitches. What the heck?

Blak:

Oh my god. What's the hell of those?

Mac:

So, as you heard, $399 for these. Apparently, they are, plated in 24 karat gold, and they are called the never give ups. Apparently, they're sold out. Let me see if StockX has these things.

Blak:

Who the fuck bought those?

Mac:

Hold on. Let me see what StockX has these things on. Bro, I swear to god. What? He said bots.

Mac:

He brought him the sneaker card, and the motherfucking sold out, man. I was I was shocked. I mean, I'm not. Because, I mean, you only have, what, 400 pairs of these things or something, and, like, you know, you'll find a you Trump supporters are still out there. You know what I'm saying?

Blak:

Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Mac:

I don't see it most

Blak:

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Mac:

Never. Yeah. It's stock except for these things on here, bro. But, $400, like, I know people have paid more for shoes, but I cannot bro. Not

Blak:

not never.

Mac:

Unless your plan is to buy these and resell them to a very staunch Trump supporter who is willing to do whatever to support their boy and pay you 3 times, 4 times the amount that you paid for it, go for it. Rip these people off. Get get get make some money off this dude.

Blak:

Please.

Mac:

And, hold on. Let let I'll I'll finish the video, and then, we'll we'll get to our boy.

Mac:

Trump also announced a new fragrance line priced at $99 a bottle, where each scent symbolizes, quote, victory and strength. We'll leave you to decide what that actually smells like. Let

Mac:

you see how slick old boy was at the end?

Blak:

Love the shot, my guy. Love the shot.

Mac:

Now I was trying to find, like, a NPR, like, you know, BBC. Something that's not as because MSNBC, you know, they gonna go in on Trump regardless. And I was trying to find a a non biased thing. But let us give you, the reason that we are here today.

Blak:

Even the

Mac:

I think Eric kinda hinted towards it too down here. Mhmm. I gotta bring up the clip so you can actually hear the audacity from, this Fox News contributor, Raymond Arroyo. And then, kinda see what the, the Republican side or I don't wanna say all republicans are thinking this, but at least, their mouthpieces over on, Fox News and, their their reaction to it.

Blak:

Sneaker thing. I was on social media last night. Very interesting as you see black support eroding from Joe Biden. This is connecting with black America because they love sneakers. They're into sneakers.

Blak:

They love the you know, this is a big deal certainly in in the inner city. So when you have Trump roll out his sneaker line, they're like, wait a minute. This is cool. He's reaching them on a level that defies and is above politics. The culture always trumps politics, and Trump understands culture like no politician I've ever seen.

Video:

Question for you on that point, though. Yeah. Will the people that are excited about the sneakers and excited about Donald Trump, will that translate into them going out and voting for Donald Trump?

Blak:

Anybody willing to put $400 down for a pair of sneakers? Yeah. I think that's commitment and love.

Mac:

I It's something.

Blak:

It's something. It's affection.

Mac:

Fam. I hope you're right. So, I shared this with you and you were like, I hope they're prepared for I hope they're prepared for deterrents. The floor is your buy guy. What what are your thoughts on this?

Blak:

Guy from the culture here.

Mac:

Culture speaking. Oh my god.

Blak:

$400 is not gonna bring us to no fucking polls, people. Goddamn it. Do you know there are better shoes out there in the market that people have literally been killed for? It didn't bring them to the polls. It did not.

Blak:

No. No. You're a feliz that you got from the back store goddamn marshals and pressed the t onto them shits. I know what you did. And you went and got some spray paint and sprayed them bitches.

Blak:

No. Them chits would not bring people to the polls. You you went on Fox News and said this shit.

Mac:

The excitement he had. The excitement, the the confidence that this man was speaking with. He is the black support He is getting on a level that

Blak:

he is The roads He is more

Mac:

in tune with the culture than any other politician that I have seen. Motherfucker, have you met Barack Obama? Have you met

Blak:

Have you? Like, this would have been like listen. I need I need people to understand. The fact that Obama didn't do this shit is incredible.

Mac:

I I saw your comment.

Blak:

It's incredible.

Mac:

You're like, am I the only one who feels like Obama missed out on an opportunity?

Blak:

Like, Obama's actually a hooper too. Like, I need y'all to understand Obama was a president who bought his hoop shoes to the gym with him and he didn't roll out with a fucking sneaker line.

Mac:

I, I saw this clip. I was I had to rewatch it to be like, did I just hear what I heard? Like, on on on his live television show, my man made it seem like all black people care about his sneakers. And because you put out a sneaker live, we gonna go vote for you?

Blak:

Got them. I know I know where to

Mac:

get the black vote. Yeah. That'll get aboard by Sy. To think that the reason he lost, well, the black vote did. And let me just say this.

Mac:

What happened in 2020 just warmed my soul so much because the whole time people were complaining and people were just like, well, if you don't like what you see, get out and vote. Get out and make a difference. Go vote. And we went out and voted. Yep.

Mac:

And states that were normally red were flipping blue. And I was I had to wake up in the morning and turn on fucking the news, what they doing, the map with all that shit. They were just like, yep. Pennsylvania has flipped over the blue. Georgia has flipped the blue.

Mac:

I'm just like, bro, you got Georgia to flip? Yeah. You know why? Because Atlanta showed up to the polls. Yep.

Mac:

All of us. All of Atlanta. All of Augusta. All of Columbus. You know what I'm saying?

Mac:

All of Savannah. The motherfuckers showed out, and they voted. And then the result is, oh, this has gotta be rigged. No. You told us if we don't like what we see to go vote, and we voted, and y'all like, oh, it's gotta be a fucking corruption.

Mac:

It's, it's a scandal. It's voter fraud. It's this, it's that. And I'm just like, bro, the black people just don't fuck with you. What you did in your 4 years in, black people were just like, I can't get jiggy with this shit.

Blak:

Right.

Mac:

So putting out a ugly pair of sneakers and overcharging that shit, I'm not gonna say that not one black person bought a $400.

Blak:

Oh, you know they did.

Mac:

I know they did because they trying to flip these shits. And more power to them. I hope like I said, I hope you scam and get over on the the most staunchest of Trump supporters. I'll give you 1600 for those shoes sold.

Blak:

Done.

Mac:

Now I came up on $1200. Nice doing business with you, loser. Another thing I will say, Joe Biden's economy has to be doing great if people out here afford to 20 you know, $400 to put on some shoes. Statement made. Statement made.

Mac:

You're paying so much for gas. He's rising prices. He's doing that. But you know the account here's a 400 pair of dozen, and they buy it. And they can afford it.

Blak:

Sold out.

Mac:

There you go.

Blak:

Sold out. Sold out.

Mac:

The other 2 shoes he got is like a red one and a blue one. And they're like, not a sock shoe, but kinda like a, a like I said, I'll find the pictures because I saw it on another site and I was just like, bro, these shits is trash, if you will. But for this man, Raymond O'Royal, I assume he's of Latino descent, to get on Fox News and speak as if he knows the black culture. During the month of February

Blak:

Yeah. Speak on it. Shame. Speak on it.

Mac:

He knows the culture. Do you know the culture, sir? You obviously don't. 1st of all, Tyrese, if you're watching this, is this the Latinos you're talking about that you wish you were born as? Tyrese, I know you're watching.

Blak:

Who you wanna be, though?

Mac:

That's that's you? You wanna be Raymond Arroyo? That's you? Bet. Bet.

Mac:

Bet. Bet. Bet. Bet.

Blak:

Culture. They they respect family. It's a it's

Mac:

a just I wish I was born Latino like fam. Them shoes I'm like, bro, it's it's tough. But if I was to see somebody with those on

Blak:

You're getting beat up over your shoes.

Mac:

I'm not I'm not gonna I'm a I'm a just have to ask questions. I'm a I'm a have, like, a few questions. 1, why? Why are you wearing those? Why are you wearing those?

Mac:

Right? 2, the fuck is wrong with you? And then I'm a live I'm a let the person live after that. What I just need to know, why and what is wrong with you? And then I'm a let the band go.

Mac:

But I just those are questions I have that because those shoes I'm I love sneakers. My wife will tell you, like, I I bro, she'll tell you. But I I couldn't. I couldn't. I won't.

Mac:

I won't. I can't.

Blak:

Dipped in 24 karat goat. Man, you know how hot your feet are gonna be.

Mac:

Bro. And that's where I'm at. Like, are these really plated in 14 karat gold?

Blak:

Oh, you know it's a scam, but even if if it was true

Mac:

Bro, I feel like true? I feel like if you wore those and your feet got sweaty and you took them off, your socks would have, like, gold on them.

Blak:

Bro, you take your Like You take your foot off them, shit. They fall off the bone.

Mac:

Bro, your foot will be stained in gold. Like, the cheap ass spray paint, whatever they put on that shit, you you reach down to, like, rub some shit off of them, the gold gonna be on your finger. I guarantee guarantee. I was getting I was I was about to flame fucking Kanye for them the Yeezy pod, them sock shoes he put out. Then Trump was Trump jumped out.

Mac:

Trump was like, hey. Oh, oh, I could top that. Yeah. I got you. I got you.

Mac:

Hey. Woah. Woah. I could top that stupidness. And he did.

Mac:

Not to say the Yeezy Pods weren't but then he, like, reduced the price to $20. So Kanye, I think Kanye was just like, hey. I can't really charge people 200 for these things. Trump out here with $499. It's 3.99

Blak:

pay these legal fees, my guy. I need to help out.

Mac:

He just broke.

Blak:

He's a gold slacker.

Mac:

Yeah. It's a gold slacker gold. Bro, it it's just it blows my mind. Like, every time I I I think we can't get stupider and dumber for election season, I get proven wrong. I get proven I get proven hella wrong.

Mac:

And and it's only February.

Blak:

We hadn't even begun the campaigns yet, bro. This is about to get way worse.

Mac:

Bro, it's only February, and we out here doing shit like that, bro. Come on.

Blak:

I'm telling y'all, man. Y'all better to have hey. Listen. DC have everything on standby, bro. Get them ready now.

Blak:

Get them ready now because shit's gonna get crazy.

Mac:

If I see anybody out there with the January 6th, the January sixes,

Blak:

y'all gave y'all self.

Mac:

You get arrested, and you get arrested. Oh, man.

Blak:

We don't need it. Please.

Mac:

At the fuck all, bro. We don't need that shit at all. Running around with the damn trees and sixes on and shit. Bro, what you doing out here, bro? Where are these trees and ones?

Mac:

Rush the capital fours. What you doing out here with these things on, bro? Build the wall fives. What you doing out here, man?

Blak:

It's rigged. It's rigged sixes.

Mac:

He's rigged elevens. What you doing out here, bro? Oh, man. But, yeah, that that shit's wild. So, Raymond O'Rourke, I could put, like I would put the rest of the the the people on the panel up there, but she she was like, do you think that this will help?

Mac:

I hope so.

Blak:

She tried to give them an hour.

Mac:

Bro, she she looked like she was not feeling these shoes. Like, my man went up there with big shoe energy, and they was just like, yo. I did not think anybody would be on board with these shoe things like this man is. This man was act like, my man, he found the cheat code.

Blak:

Got him. We got we this is our strategy. We roll it out. Success.

Mac:

Yeah. The the fucking never give up never give ups is what he called them. The never give ups.

Blak:

Never give up.

Mac:

Son, you you owe $335,000,000 to somebody.

Blak:

Not giving it up.

Mac:

You owe the court told you you owe 335,000,000. Never give up. Never give up. Oh, well. But, a, Raymond Arroyo, congratulations on your first entry.

Mac:

You're on your way. You got a you got a couple more to go to catch up to our boy, Tyrese, but, this is

Blak:

you're you're you're the you're the gateway to what's about to happen, a man's. This is

Mac:

this is a hell of a start. Raymond, you're you're you're there's something about this guy. He's special. I think he's going I think he's gonna be a I think he's gonna be special in whose man's. So, we'll keep an eye on you.

Mac:

You're you're a rising star. On your first your rookie season? Your rookie season, Raymond? You come out the gate like this? Strong.

Mac:

Strong, bro. To speak about the culture like you know it, bro.

Blak:

That was strong.

Mac:

That is who's man who's man's rookie of the year type stuff right there, bro. Yes.

Blak:

This man's gonna be a hall of

Mac:

fame. Keep your eye I said no. Keep your eye on this guy. He's going places.

Blak:

That guy's a blue chip prospect.

Mac:

He was a sleeper in the draft. He's a sleeper. Never saw him coming. Now he's he's full force. Full force.

Mac:

But, anyways, let us get back to a regular program and, you know what? No. No. Let's roll into, let's roll into this bracket update and, introduce you guys to the new bracket and also talk about somebody's choices you guys made. Yes.

Mac:

Please. New bracket was unveiled this week, and, we finished off the Nickelodeon bracket with Doug winning the best show. People still feeling some type of way about that. However, we moved from Nickelodeon, went over to Cartoon Network. Some pretty solid shows on that side, but, we started off with 42 shows.

Mac:

So in order to get to a nice round of 32 to get to 16.84 then 2, we had to have a play in round. And, I shall bring this up so you all can gauge with us. So the playing round, I didn't put really in stock into this, because normally you don't get your big hitters till you get to the round of 32. But, to go over this, let me bring up the what we got here. So we can talk about these percentages in which these shows have 1.

Mac:

Oh, my man, Shontay just went live in his, podcast. I know.

Blak:

I saw

Mac:

that. I saw this thing too, Trump selling shoes. Oh, man. So as we see here, we have Clarence beating out the life and times of Juniper. I haven't been a fan or I haven't really paid attention to that show at all.

Mac:

I know it was a thing. Me neither. But, Clarence beat out, Juniper Lee. Let me bring up the, 72% of the votes with the Clarence. Again, Clarence is one of the, like, cartoon network started getting to making these cartoons where, like, the overall goal of the show is to be as stupid as possible to get laughs.

Mac:

Like, it was just like, there's no comedy, like, no writing was needed. Just have the character be stupid and do stupid stuff. And, apparently, it was enough to get 72% of the votes to move on, so shout out my nigga Clarence. Moving down, we got Chowder and Teen Titans Go. I like the show Chowder.

Mac:

I thought it was pretty good. Thought it was pretty funny. Teen titans go, I thought, would get a lot of hate because of a lot of people have a lot of love for the OG teen titans, and they feel teen titans go just watered it down and downplayed the significance of the actual superhero team that was in the comics. However, team titans go won and is moving on with 73% of the votes. Did you have a problem with that or not?

Blak:

No. Not really. I kinda figured it would be that strong. Like you, I like chowder. So

Blak:

Yep.

Blak:

I wasn't really mad at it, though.

Mac:

No. Like, if it moves further, I'd probably like now it's up against Steven Universe. Like, I will have a big problem if that, personally, if that moves on past Steven Universe, I'd have a issue. But that's just me. Next up, we got Ben 10 alien force, and, my gym partner's a monkey.

Mac:

That was a total wash, a 100 of votes going to Ben 10 as Ben 10 moves on, and they should be going up against the amazing world of gumball. I need to update that. But so Ben 10, alien force, Amazing World of Gumball is the next one up now.

Blak:

Come in close. Come in all the way. Come so close right now.

Mac:

Come here. Alright, man. I usually put no stock in the playing around, like I said. I can only assume that people have not watched class of 3,000. I can only I can only assume that people have not checked out this show at all.

Mac:

It was a show that was developed with Andre 3,000, original music, and all the episodes.

Blak:

I did. I did.

Mac:

I did. Songs written by Andre 3,000, composed by Andre 3,000. Great show. I loved it. And, I'm mad that a show called 2 stupid dogs is moving on instead of Andre 3000 and then class of 3,000.

Mac:

And 2 stupid dogs won with 65% of the votes. I just wanted to zoom in to let y'all know, because this will be clipped and and brought up at any given moment when you guys make a bad decision, I e if Trump mess around and win Yeah. I'm a just bring this up and be like, hey. I don't wanna hear nothing about people voting.

Blak:

I have the smoke pick, metrics for, like, the actual election. If if the smoke pit is any representation of how America's election is gonna go, he can't be able to make a prediction.

Mac:

I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. Next up, we got Johnny Bravo beating out Camp Laslow, getting a 100% of the votes. That was an easy win for the boy, Johnny b.

Mac:

Moving on, we got where we at? Are we back up at the top up here? Yes, we are. Yeah. Yep.

Mac:

So we got Cowen Chicken. Again, one of those shows where it's just like, let me just put a stupid premise together and see how silly we can get. That beats Okay KO Let's Be Heroes. I've watched both shows of the 2. I was like, Cowan Chicken was not my vibe.

Mac:

Okay. Kale was alright. So I I voted for that. However, it was not enough, and Cowan Chicken moves on to go against the number 2 seed Adventure Time. Johnny Test with a 100 go ahead.

Blak:

No. I was gonna say this that one was a it don't matter because you're about to lose next round anyway.

Mac:

Yeah. You know, some of these they just move on. It's like, you're not gonna beat the the next guy up. Total Drama Island beats out Total Drama loses the Johnny Test. Johnny Test got, I believe, a 100.

Mac:

Let me double check real quick. Yeah. Yep.

Blak:

It was a 100%.

Mac:

Another wash, Pow Puff Girls beat out, Hi Hi Puffy. I mean, you me. Yeah, that was 90% of the vote. So Powerpuff Girls will be going up against Courage the Cowardly Dog. Totally Spies beats out I am Weasel.

Mac:

I believe that's another one. That's 81 to 19. So they'll be going up against Young Justice, which I think is one of the heavy favorites to probably own this one. And then we have codename Kids Next Door. Being out, Benton, Omniverse, 70% of the votes go into code name Kids Next Door.

Mac:

So the round of 32 where, feelings will start being hurt is set. I will be putting that poll up on Sunday. And, again, voting will start on Wednesday because the polls will only stay open for 2 days. Now the thing I

Blak:

like that.

Mac:

What's that?

Blak:

I like I like that, and then I like this round. This round has some potential, man. It really does. Strong play in round

Mac:

Do you this bracket. Do you have a favorite that you think is gonna pull it off? Because Justice League Unlimited is the one seed. Adventure Time is the 2. Young Justice is the 3, and regular show is the 4.

Mac:

Sleepers for me, not really sleepers. Of course, Teen Titans being the 12 seed according to, IDMB or IMDB. And then, Dexter's Laboratory is also a fan favorite. And, where's the other one I was looking at? That was like, it's gonna be problems.

Mac:

Adventure Time, I like that one myself, but I think, one of these Scooby Doos might do so. I don't know. Oh, no. Clone Wars. That's the one I was looking at.

Blak:

Yeah. That that one when codename kid next door won, I was like, it don't that one was it definitely don't matter.

Mac:

You're about to get destroyed. You say that. You're right. You say that.

Blak:

You're right.

Mac:

I think when you say shit like that, the smoke pits, like, hold my beer.

Blak:

You're right.

Mac:

You're right. You know? So, I I I I just need Storm Wars. I I just want the finals to be between 2 solid shows. You know?

Blak:

Yeah.

Mac:

I don't care what 2 shows. They just gotta be, like, for real shows. Like, don't be sending fucking Teen Titans go to the finals. You know? Don't be sending no 2 stupid dogs to the finals.

Mac:

Samurai Jack's on here, you know, like, if Samurai Jack's get if they don't at least meet, you know, the the elite 8, you know, round of 8, at least get them to the quarter finals or something. Don't don't be disrespecting my shows like that. Yeah. That's all I'm asking. Don't be come out here disrespecting these shows.

Blak:

Here's a sleeper. I'm gonna say this now.

Mac:

What's that?

Blak:

Because I feel like there's a there's a lot of younger people

Blak:

Uh-huh.

Blak:

That are gonna be voting on these. Ben ten is actually a sleeper. Ben ten was really popular.

Mac:

Well, there's, like, 3 big tits on here, though. Big tits. Ben ten

Blak:

The the the OG Ben ten.

Mac:

Where where is he at on here?

Blak:

He's down at the bottom. He's going up against teen titans. He's a sleeper, though.

Mac:

You think he's beating OG teen titans?

Blak:

He's got a shot. There's a if there if there's younger people voting in this, Ben Tim's got a shot. I'm not gonna rule it out. It won't surprise me if it happens. It really won't.

Blak:

I'll be mad, but I

Mac:

won't be surprised. I'm a be mad, but I ain't gonna be surprised. But, yeah, so round of 32 is coming up. Big hitters are in the game now. So, be prepared to vote come this Wednesday.

Mac:

Polls will be live. Now they're not letting me put the polls in the Smoke Pit podcast group because apparently Facebook is like, you can only make polls in group pages or personal pages now. So I feel some type of way about that, because we are getting a lot of traction in the Nickelodeon one by posting it on the the the main page. But, we'll leave that to the pit masters. You know, let's get some invites in here.
