Mac:Oh my god. That's it. Pink Whitney. Yeah. That's what it is.
Mac:I don't like it. It tastes like, like, medicine, like a cough syrup. It's, like, really sweet. You know? Fuck.
Mac:And it and it's going down like fucking Robitussin. Like, it is coating my esophagus on the way down. I don't I don't like it. But you know what? You know the messed up part?
Mac:I opened it, so, like, now I gotta drink it. That that's the rule in this house. So I will be, toughing out, the rest of that bottle. It's a small bottle, so it's a small bottle, so we'll make it work. Your taste buds are broken.
Mac:Mm-mm. Mm-mm. They work just fine because this tastes delicious right here. This crown tastes amazing. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, we got a divorce lawyer out here starting shit, which could be her way of promoting and generating business, but let us get into this week's house meeting.
Mac:I am looking forward to the conversations in the comments that, this topic will start. So without further ado, I think it's time to have a house meeting y'all. I think we need to have a house meeting y'all. So, there is a divorce lawyer located in Arizona, I believe. Let me make sure I'm doing this shit right.
Mac:Yes. Arizona divorce lawyer who went viral for making an Instagram reel stating the top five jobs with the highest number of cheaters. And I'm guessing she came to this conclusion by looking over data of all the divorce cases that have that are, what do you call it? Not claim firm that her law firm has processed and stuff so. I wanna get in that get into that bring this up.
Mac:Let's just have a discussion and figure out, you know, is it bullshit? Is it real? Is it everything? So as you can see here, the title, I'm a divorce lawyer. These are the 5 jobs with the highest number of cheaters.
Mac:We scroll down. We see will these careers kill a marriage. A divorce lawyer has sparked fierce debate after revealing the 5 occupations that she believes feature the highest percentage of cheaters. Kate Simmons of the Arizona based Simons Simons, I guess it's Simons. Law group initially posted her list to Instagram reels last year before resharing the same footage with subsequent subsequently went viral, clocking up more than 300,000 views.
Mac:We wanted to share it with you most common cheaters. We are turning up the heat for this one. Do you guys agree? Simon started the video by revealing the first three professions proliferated by cheaters, according to her and anecdotal evidence. So I'm gonna click on this.
Mac:We're gonna see if it plays And, like I said, hopefully, start up some here we go. Oh, no. Here. Oh, man. Here we go.
Mac:Let's see what she has to say.
Lawyer:Who do I see as my frequent flyer? Speaking of flying, number 5, pilots and flight attendants. Number 4, men in the military. Number 3, bartenders. Number 2, police officers.
Lawyer:And number 1, firefighters, for sure. Don't take this as legal advice, but if your husband does one of those 5 occupations, there are frequent flyers.
Mac:So, yeah, let us continue, and then we'll talk about it. Right? Pilots and flight attendants. Right? Scroll down.
Mac:The legal ego claimed that cops were the 2nd most likely professional. She concluded by naming and shaming the job where she seen the highest number of faithful employees punctuating a reveal with for sure. So some people were upset. Firefighters were coming to the aid of other firefighters. Right?
Mac:This is toxic as fuck, one rallied. All the firefighters I know are true family men. Right? As a female firefighter, I have to disagree. My bros don't cheat.
Mac:Another slam, Simons, for sharing the list saying it could induce paranoia and partners. Videos like this put doubt into weak minded people and, in turn, create issues where there weren't any previously. Do better, they implored. A second concurred saying that there were both good and bad people in all occupation. Character, not career, the commenter shared.
Mac:Look at the person's character. However, others admitted that they had indeed be cheated on by pilots, military members, bartenders, cops, and firefighters. Several noted that occupations all had distinct commonalities, basically men that spend most of their lives at work, one posted, And frequent nights away from home, a second said. So thoughts on that shit. Where y'all at with that?
Mac:I will say as far as pilots and flight attendants or whatnot, I I don't know. I don't hang around a lot of them, but I would think that the person who mentioned people who are just away from home all this time and stuff, like, it would give them more opportunities to be unfaithful, I guess. So, I mean, these pilots and flight attendants just be jet setting all over the place. Right? She said notice how quiet the military members were.
Mac:I mean, it's I feel like if you asked anybody, like, of of anything, the most corrupt employers, the most, you know, spineless employer. Like, the military covers a lot of ground, bro. You know what I'm saying? It covers a lot of ground, being there for as long as I have and and whatnot, I can say that I've known both male and female, people that, you know, did some shit on the side, but, you know, I figured that's not between I had no problem getting that. That's between, them and and their partner at that point.
Mac:So, bartenders, I'm just like I never thought of bartending as a career. I guess it's just more of an occupation, but, I guess, like, I guess people I guess when you're around alcohol like that and serving it, you serve it to the right person and then they feel a certain way. You just like we can, you know, go and do a little something, something or something. I don't know, but police officers and firefighters, that's the one that's crazy to me, bro. That's crazy to me.
Mac:I mean, but, like, I I don't know. I don't know. The person that was in the comments saying, you know, I feel like you're doing this and inciting, you know, doubts in certain people's minds. Like, a 100% agree with that. And as a, you know, a firm that specializes in divorces, like, is that not like laying the groundwork for some few it must be a slow day.
Mac:You know? Gotta stir the pot a little bit, bring some business in a little bit. You know what I'm saying? I I I just feel like this would be, like, the the best or the most obvious top 5. Like, I don't know what other job would come to somebody's mind for this.
Mac:Like, if you watch Grey's Anatomy, you could be like, bro, these doctors be out here a while. You know? I feel like that is the case. You know what I'm saying? Like, they'd be in the hospital working and shit.
Mac:I can see that probably going down, these doctors out here losing their shit, you know, doing whatever they do. Shit, bro. Like, that's it. I mean, bro, because when I worked at McDonald's, the motherfuckers was doing some wild ass shit. You know what I'm saying?
Mac:Like, in the little stock area, in the little fridge area. Like, bro, like, it's it's it's what that one person said. It's the character of the person, not so much the career. Like, you go to any job and just put the the the wrong people together. Like, shit's about to go down.
Mac:You know what I'm saying? It's divorce lawyer up there. I'm pretty sure lawyers be out here wilding out too. You know what I'm saying so you need to put yourself up there. Realtors probably be doing this business people when they go on their business trips, I know they'd be cutting up.
Mac:Bro, it's it's but it's it's about the person. You know? For this to get 300,000 views and then people be feeling a certain type of way about it, I I don't know how to follow that up. I don't know why I keep showing her face like you keep scrolling down, and it's just like pictures of her and shit. Let me see what these comments be talking about.
Mac:Are they gonna pop up? Nope. That's cool or do I have to scroll down and see nope. Alright. That's what's up.
Mac:You know I click to see comments and I don't see no comments. That's what's up. I was just trying to see what everybody else was saying about it, but, that's just wild, man, to just come out with that and just name, like, construction. Like, what's all of your doctors? This is a architect, fucking Taye Diggs.
Mac:Shit. Construction workers, doctor now from fucking 600 pound life. You know what I'm saying? Like oh, man. Like, it's it's it's you know, that that's easy clickbait, man.
Mac:Like and then low key, for someone who's trying to, you know, post some stuff and get some traction, I'm mad at all the work I'll be putting in this shit, and she just get on here and name 5 jobs and motherfuckers be, like, 300,000 views. I'm like, what the fuck? What am I I think that's the bad part of, like, being a a content creator and and doing stuff because you're always, you know, striving to be better, striving to do stuff to get noticed. Right? And you're constantly putting your effort, your blood, sweat, tears into shit.
Mac:Right? Just doing all of this shit to just make something that is thought provoking and and starts conversation and shit. And then somebody who could care less about content creation just puts a camera in front of them and says shit like this and motherfucker gains traction. Just gains traction and views and and interaction and all of this other stuff. And I just be like, fuck.
Mac:What am I doing wrong out this motherfucker, man? What is what am I doing wrong? But, again, I'm not mad at her. You know, do what you do. Obviously you are being paid very well as a lawyer.
Mac:Hopefully as a friend while I'm thinking you're a partner or some Your last name is Simons. Katie Simons of the Simons Law Group. Yeah. So I'm I'm guessing you up there making the money moneys making the money moneys, but that's just me. So, yeah, I mean, I'm looking at the comments now, but, obviously, when this drops on Monday, hopefully, you know, there's some more traction in there, but it's it's one of those things where, like, you can't definitively say you're wrong.
Mac:Like, the firefighters were in there, like, you know, you're wrong. We're family. We we we don't do none of that stuff, bro. Military be saying the same shit. Brother and sister in arms and all that stuff, and they'd be in each other's arms.
Mac:Alright? But that's neither here nor there. That's neither here nor there. I'm not saying they do, but I'm not saying they don't either. Anyways, moving on to the next, topic, which I was low key kind of excited to talk about, but then I saw the video about it because I heard, that there was a Krispy Kreme in Mexico that was doing a honey glazed donut.
Mac:Right? And, if you know me, I really, really, really fucks with Krispy Kreme donuts, especially their OG glazed donuts. When it's hot now, the hot now sign is on, you have to get these things. Because you walk in, they come in right off the conveyor belt. You're watching them go through this fucking, the the wonderful of glaze and shit.
Mac:You're just like, I need that inside of me. No pause. Give me those. Like, people be like, pause. I'd be like, resume.
Mac:Give me these donuts. I need them in me. But these this this this restaurant or this glaze was just like it's a honey glazed donut. And I was just like, that has never come to the states. And I realized why it has not come to the states.
Mac:Let me close this out and bring up this next screen because when you see why I'm kinda just like, well, I hope they do a better job with this honey glaze thing. You will see why. Bring this back up. Ladies and gentlemen, those are bees. Those are bees inside of where the donuts are at that are honey glazed.
Mac:Bees, ladies and gentlemen. Live bees. Just a damn near colony over here on these donuts. And they hear talking about they be friendly. So so shout out to Tay.
Mac:So she's here, like, obviously the trigger words, right? These are honey glazed, right? Honey glazed. I will cross the border right now. Then I showed the bee video.
Mac:Oh, no. Never mind. I'll stay in Arizona. That's exactly what I said. And here you go.
Mac:Try to take a moment to be friendly. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know how quick the advertising firm at Krispy Kreme works. Once they realized that bees were just all up in their shit like this, I don't know. Like, do they not have doors they can close 1st and foremost to stop bees from coming in?
Mac:I don't know. 2nd, if the bees were this much of a problem, they went and created a graphic design and a sign to be, like, be friendly. Like, that's cool. They're over here. So the the post here oh, let's finish the video.
Mac:I think it's almost done. Mhmm. Yeah. It was done. So this thing here says the donut shop that went viral on social media for being bee friendly.
Mac:A new way for bees to carry out their pollination process inside their premises. Would you eat at this Krispy Kreme donut shop? And there's people fucking spazzing out. High vibrational food. I would definitely be eating these donuts.
Mac:How is this different than eating honey that bees are all over it? Wait. Wait. What? How is this any different than eating the honey that bees are all over it?
Mac:Like, first of all, like, bro, just stop that. These are clean. I need to see the replies to this shit. Not really. They carry malaria and Ebola.
Mac:And this person comes back. Bees do not carry Ebola malaria And this dude just laughs Who the fuck told you that that person knows you own apology? No, That is honestly hilarious. I laughed at they owe you an apology part. What are you smoking?
Mac:So apparently, they're like, they don't carry malaria. This person comes in and says, y'all never been to Mexico. If you see a bakery with bees, just know that that bakery has some fire pan. Like, I'm just, if the bees are attracted to it, that means it's good. I mean, because bees go where vibrations are, and we need the bees, and we love the bees.
Mac:What the is happening in this comment section? I thought this only supposed to happen if you really have good and fresh fruit. This is sugar. I doubt it's okay. Not a bee's got diabetes.
Mac:I don't know. Like, I don't know who's all in these comments, but I'm just that can't be cool. Nigga bees aren't attracted to honey, so that makes no sense. The next thing you know, people will eat the bees and we will get COVID. COVID b variant and shit.
Mac:I don't know, man. I'm looking at this shit like, that's that's too many bees, bro. Let me see if I can find a, hold on. I'm gonna take this down and I'm a see if there's another story about these, Krispy Kreme bees because I feel like there's a little bit more to test. Footage of bees swarming crispy cream donut shop, and so this was back in February of 23.
Mac:Oh, I gotta play this one. This one looks wild, bro. This one looks wild. Oh, yeah. Y'all gotta see this one.
Mac:Let's go. Let's go. This is this is a better look at how they were on these donuts. Let's go. Which which page is this?
Mac:Here we go. Go ahead and fill this thing up. Look at look look at this. Look at this. Look at this.
Mac:And you're just like, yeah. Give me half a dozen of those. Get the fuck up out of here, bro. I don't care how be positive. Like, when it comes to bees, I understand the importance of bees.
Mac:They they pollinate a lot of things, help a lot of these flower, like the fruit bearing trees and stuff. They pollinate a lot of those blossoms and stuff. Like, they do a lot of stuff to help the ecosystem carry on. However, what I don't need them to be doing is being on these donuts like this. Let me make sure the sound is on and, roll this beautiful bean footage.
News Anchor:In a surprising turn of events, a swarm of bees has taken over a local Krispy Kreme shop, creating quite the buzz among customers and staff alike.
News Anchor:I'm at a Krispy Kreme here in Guadalajara, Mexico, and look at all the bees.
News Anchor:It seems that these bees have a sweet tooth and have set their sights on the shop's delectable honey glazed donuts. The bees are seen lining the shelves seemingly making a beeline for the delicious sugar glazed treats. The uploader, initially shocked and alarmed, soon realizes the Krispy Kreme employees were unfazed by the beekeeping rap that they had going. We applaud the bees who seem to be performing a quality control check on the donuts, ensuring only the finest sugar is being used.
Mac:Let me just say this. Right? Let me let me just say this. I understand that, sometimes animals need people to come to their defense. Right?
Mac:Sometimes we as humans are beyond some wild shit, and we just be crushing animals, you know, habitats, and all this other shit. I understand that there are people who love animals to an extent, and they're just, like, you know, lining up to volunteer and work for PETA and everything. I don't care how much you love animals. How about we just stop acting like they just can't be annoying and and they they you know what I'm saying? Can we just all come together and be like, be sure to be on these donuts?
Mac:Can we just come together and be like and everybody just disclaim, like, we love bees. We love what they do for the environment. Get the fuck up off the donuts. Can we just not do that? Like, why is that wrong?
Mac:Like, people be fronting, like, we applaud the bees doing this quality control. Like, stop writing shit like that and be like, yo, Krispy Kreme, fix your your shop because what if somebody's coming in here with allergies to bee stings? Or, you know, something along those lines. You you got employees in here. How do you know none of them are are allergic?
Mac:You got them just working around these bees. You're not closing this shop down and get rid of this problem? At the fuck all? Oh, they already? Yo.
Mac:These comments, I'm looking at them. When's the last time you read bees swarming and something positive happens next? The killer bees will take swarm was positive, enormous. Bring it on, man. That's how you fuck somebody up.
Mac:You just give me a box of the killer bee doughnuts, and then you just give it to, like, your boss or some shit at work. Happy Friday. And then you just put him in his office and close the door. So when he opens his, he just keeps the door closed while he's spazzing the fuck out. The hell's happening to Bob?
Mac:Hey. Don't worry about it. He's just so excited I got him some some Krispy Kreme. Just leave him be, man. It got quiet in there.
Mac:He's just, must be on a telecon or taking a nap or something. He'll be fine. Oh, man. Be swarming as the headline usually precedes something like president he what? President-elect Trump.
Mac:Oh, shit. I love my dog, but if she grab a donut and spit it out, I'm a throw it away. That shit nasty. That's what I'm saying. Like, what are the bees doing on the donuts?
Mac:Like, they're just hanging out. Like, there is something that they're doing to the donuts that should not be done to donuts. People be like, bees are clean. They be landing on all kinds of flowers and shit out there. They don't be washing their hands.
Mac:Why do people think bees are inherently just like sterile? They'd be flying and landing on everything, bro. Bees are sterile like where are you getting this information from Like, I'm not the the fucking, you know, the the the the most well versed person on insects and animals and shit. But I'm just like let me just say this. If you live in the wild And you don't have soap and water to go like this.
Mac:I'm assuming that you're probably not sanitary. I mean, there are humans that are dirty. I'm I'm those bees are probably cleaner than some humans I know, but I know one thing. Like, if they are just all over some donuts, like, I'm not I'm not gonna be inclined to purchase said donuts from over there. What do you come to say?
Mac:I like to buy the donut with the most sprinkles on it. Sir, those are actually bees. Culturally, this is a very common thing in Mexico, especially in outdoor farmers markets when buying, I guess, fresh fruit or whatever that's supposed to be. You pick the one with the most bees because it is the sweetest. What in the holy fuck are y'all talking about, bro?
Mac:Like, who's doing that? Like, if I'm going somewhere and there's a fucking swarm of bees on something, I'm not like, oh, that's the one I want right there. The one with the one with the the herd of bees. That's how you know it's good. You just can't do shit like this, man.
Mac:It's just fucking ridiculous. I'd honestly avoid any of those. The bees don't touch. What? See, these are the comments where I'm just looking at people and wondering, like, what are we doing?
Mac:Why are people just they just believe, like, they wanna be so in tune with, like, health and and natural and greed. Like, the ones the bees are touching are obviously the more purest of the donuts because they can tell the difference between artificial sugar and real sugar yet. But let me just go out there and put some fucking, you know, granulated sugar, shake it up in a in a fucking, you know, purified water bottle and and pour it in a thing. I bet bees will be all over that. They don't give a fuck the shit's sweet.
Mac:They gonna be on that shit, bro. Fresh fruits and donuts are not the same. I agree. And even if it was fresh fruit, I'm not getting the shit with the bees on it. I'm getting my shit from the store where, like, no insects are, like, laying on top of the shit that I gotta pick up.
Mac:You know what I'm saying? And I just entrust that it's fresh. You know, like, it's culturally, if that's what they do in Mexico, cool. But that's a outdoor farmer's market, whatever. We inside of a Krispy Kreme.
Mac:Why why are they're about to fucking build a hive in your fucking store, and y'all cool with it. Y'all so y'all so fucking cool with it. I'm shocked that there was customers going in there, bitch. This ain't for like, it ain't for me. I ain't gonna be able to do it, dawg.
Mac:I ain't gonna be able to do it. I don't know how they did it, but, you know, more more power to them. More power to them because that ain't you that ain't for your boy. Let me just tell you that. That ain't for your boy.
Mac:Will never be for your boy. And and that's saying some shit because your boy is fat. Your boy is fat. I'll be on them Krispy Kremes like y'all wouldn't even know. And then they just go up.
Mac:Just bring, bro. You know the betrayal I would feel if I'm at work and they're like, bro, we got you these Krispy Kreme's. And I open it up, and it's fucking, you know, 6 b's per donut on that shit. Like Like what that box would be destroyed Like I just get this shit all the way to the slum out out of the building onto wherever. Like, you know, whatever happens to the bees happens, so don't be doing this shit.
Mac:Right. If this is for you, no, no more power to you. I love that. You love it, but stop acting like that shit's supposed to be normal. Because if that was the case, y'all wouldn't be going into Krispy Kremes like, I wouldn't buy that.
Mac:There's no bees on these. These donuts have gotta be not fresh. You know? Y'all be buying these things, man. Y'all stop acting like, you know, shit is supposed to be like the way it is.
Mac:Goddamn. Flies be flying on the the the freshest of food too. Y'all buying that shit if a fly get on it? No. Because you like flies are unsanitary because they just be out here flying and landing on shit.
Mac:You know what else flies out there and lands on shit? Bees. They just be landing on what any kind of random ass thing. Think just because it's a fucking flower, it's clean as fuck? Come on, man.
Mac:What are we doing out here? What are we doing out here? Anyways, It is that time of the show. We do have a one gotta go. I I did a Leo DiCaprio movies, but we'll see if we got time after we do this, this whose man's.
Mac:So this week, there's a couple candidates. I picked 1, based on how everybody seems to be in tune to to the rap game now. Everybody's in tune to a so called beef with, Kendrick Lamar and Future, going after Drake and J Cole because of a song Drake and J Cole did with some subliminal things, and then they picked up on it and they did some like, I'm just, like, if that floats your boat cool. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm just trying to listen to songs and be like, oh, you know, lyrics is cool, all that stuff.
Mac:People be sitting there listening to double entendres and metaphors and fucking similes and be like, oh, shit. He going after what's I'm like, come on. Bro, just let me listen to this song. Like, if y'all motherfuckers ain't putting on some gloves, getting in the ring, and settling this shit, I wanna hear about y'all rapping and saying y'all doing, like, who the fuck cares at this point, bro? Just make a fucking album.
Mac:Make something dope. Make something that bad. You know? I'm not saying just go out there and just be fucking KRS 1, but if y'all gonna battle rap, like, go battle rap. All this subliminal stuff where I gotta sit here and listen and break down lyrics and have somebody try and explain shit to me.
Mac:I'm just like, oh my god. Fuck out of here. Anyway, here is a rapper who is not even trying to play those games. Like, he's like, I'm gonna be out here, I'm gonna do me, and I'm gonna make the music that I love to make. Right?
Mac:But, the music that he loves to make lyrics is like hella wild, bro. Hella wild. But anyways, I'm getting too far ahead of myself. Let us get into this week's whose man's is this? Hey.
Mac:Whomans is this? So this next, this this young man that I'm about to mention, I'm not familiar with his catalog at all. Right? He goes by the name NLE Chopper. I would like to mention his his birth name.
Mac:Give me a second. Normally, this is the best part when you talk about a rapper and you find their their birth name or maybe not. Maybe, you know, it's cool. So, Bryson Bryson, Lashawn Potts, known professionally as NLE Chopper. He was playing at a festival.
Mac:What festival it was, I do not know. But normally, when you're at these festivals and you're playing your song, the camera angle will pan to the crowd and you see the crowd just, you know, feel it. Like, just legit dancing, losing they shit. Like, you see festivals like Astroworld, Rolling Loud, when you got a, you know, a k died or, you know, just just Travis Scott getting out there. They performing.
Mac:The crowd is like fucking head, but they they in their shit. You know? Like, they they feeling it. Right? They feeling it.
Mac:What do we got here? Oh, so when I was talking about the the the beef rappers, he brings up AD brings up a good point. The problem here is that in hip hop, people feel like you can't reference another rapper's work and it not be a diss. It'd be like it's just a reference y'all. Marvel does this all the time and then he says, NLE had a singular dope song a while ago.
Mac:I'm pretty, like, I'm pretty sure if I listen to his whole catalog, it'll probably be 1 or 2 songs. I'm just like, oh, you know, the beat on this shit is dope. Like, maybe the lyrics not so much. But I mean, like, little Uzi Vert got a few songs that I fuck with. You know what I'm saying?
Mac:But I'm not running to to play his albums. You know what I'm saying? But let me bring this up so you can hear the lyrics of this song and watch the crowd's reaction, as he's performing this song and see if he realizes, like, at what moment he realizes that, you know, maybe maybe he's not what he is or what he thinks he is at this point, but here we go. Let let's let us let this beautiful bean footage roll. I don't know if you heard that.
Mac:Let me, let me bring up the lyrics on the the phone here in case you didn't. I don't know the name of the song. But oh, he was previewing a song at rolling so that was Rolling Loud, and he was previewing a song called if I was a bad bitch. So if you weren't listening, if I was a bad bitch, I'd wanna hump me too. I'd wanna fuck me too.
Mac:I'd wanna suck me too if I was a bad bitch. And he's out there playing it like people are going to be he was he he said, how much was he paid to go out there and say that? Top shot, that that's the one that, the Internet was saying was, like, the song that helped him rise to fame. But, yeah, so the part that gets me is I'm just like, as he's out there singing it, I want y'all to look at the crowd. Like, he's out there rolling loud.
Mac:It's supposed to be notorious. You go out there. You do your song. The crowd is, like, fucking with your shit. Right?
Mac:So let let's get to that part again. I'm a pause it because I don't feel like hearing that shit again. Well, he is out there, like, trying to make this shit work. So he's previewing it. Like, he's just like, I'm a get I'm a I'm a dabble into this, and I'm a I'm a give you all the world premiere of my new shit that I've been working on.
Mac:And the fans probably like, oh, shit. This finna be dope. He about to kill it with this one, and then he starts doing this shit. Right? If I was a bad bitch, I wanna help me too.
Mac:I wanna help me too. So I don't know if you guys can see it. I don't know if I can zoom in. No. I cannot enhance.
Mac:Can I enhance? I cannot enhance. Nope. It does not get any just the text gets bigger. The crowd is not not really hyping up.
Mac:There's no head banging. There's no, like, let me let me, also great value rich baby. Rich baby daddy got it. But look at the crowd. There's no hands in the air.
Mac:There's no head bobbing. There's no there's nothing. And he's out there trying to give it his fucking all and his bell bottoms. And, you know, I ain't gonna talk about rapper fashion because that's neither here nor there. People wear what they wanna wear, but the crowd is not vibing with this shit.
Mac:And he I don't know how far into the song he is, but it's just not working. He's trying to make it work. Like he's doing all these dances and he's looking and he's just like, I want to help me too. I want to help me too. And like, ain't nobody feeling it.
Mac:Like, I can only imagine what that feels like out there, bro. You out there giving it your fucking all. Right? What's you say what's happening with that car? Oh, the shit that was on the screen?
Mac:Well, like, look at this. Bro, how serious this man is doing this fucking dance? How serious he is doing this dance? Like, he's he's making eye contact with somebody in the audience doing these thrusts. Like, bro, this song about to be a hit.
Mac:If I was a bad bitch, I'd wanna hump me too. And here's the wild part. Here's the wild part. Right? Here's the wild part.
Mac:The producer is making this beat. Right? And, like, the beat is nothing to write home about, but it is what it is nowadays. And he's just like, yo, NLE, I got a beat for you. Come through come through and listen to this.
Mac:And he's like, bet. Bet. Bet. Let's go. And they play it, and he's just like, oh, shit.
Mac:I I got something. He gets his pad and his pen, and he starts writing some shit while the beat's beat's playing, and he probably doing this shit. Alright, man. Let me in the booth, and they just like, oh, shit. We finna he finna do it.
Mac:He finna do it. You know what I'm saying? He get on there. If I was a bad bitch, I wanna help me too. I wanna fuck me too.
Mac:I wanna serve me too. And then you just keep repeating that shit and, you know, producers just like, alright, bro. So, like, is that the hook, or is these these the lyrics? Or what what's going on here, sir? And that's the song.
Mac:Right? That's the song, and you're just like, fuck, man. What did I just do with my beat? Why did I I mean, the beat's not all that, but, I mean, you wanted somebody to do something other than this or your beat. Right?
Mac:I mean, look at this shit. I guess this car is, like, going backwards. Look at it. Look. The crowd is not doing shit.
Mac:And I'm a just say this shit. Normally, at these festivals, these young up and coming rappers, like like, NLE Chopper, fucking y and b. You know? Like, all all these other dudes, NBA, young well, all this shit. Right?
Mac:Like, they do shit. White people be fucking with them. White people be fucking like young the young white America, they eat this shit the fuck up. And the fact that young white America is not fucking with this man out here doing this shit speaks volumes, bro. Yeah, man.
Mac:We may need to have to, you know, bring our boy back, you know, have another, you know, war room session about this stuff, man, because this is wild out here, bro. Oh my god. Look at the crowd. That's the part that gets if you're at a festival and the crowd's not rocking with you, like, bro, let me tell you. I spice go out here and play that fart song.
Mac:The motherfuckers rocking with it. Like, if I spice can go out there, you think you're shit, bitch. You're not even a fart. These motherfuckers lose their shit. Right?
Mac:Then you come out with your shit, and they don't move. Like, what does that do to your spirit? What does that do to your hype, your level of fucking let's get out there and do this shit? Dog, they dancing to this shit. They really finna like my shit.
Mac:Hey, yo. This that new NLE Chopper. If I was a bad bitch, I wanna help me too. And you just sat there just thrust in the air looking at like, I mean, I paid money to get close to this stage and see you looking at me thrusted. I'm just like, that's a terrible choice of, spending my money, and, I wish I can get it back, and I wish I can, rewind time to get those last 2 minutes of my life back.
Mac:Man, he's out here just thrusting my face It's about sucking his own dick. You know, like, look at this shit. Bro, the DJ back there, like, man, I gotta play. Are you really you don't really have to do this shit. Look at this shit.
Mac:Oh my fucking I can't. I can't. But that's what I'm talking about. Like, if I had to choose between listening to this or listening to people fucking dissect the rap to the point where they're just like, oh, that's the super diss to old buddy or whatnot. You know, like, I'm not trying to lie, bro, if you're gonna diss somebody, let's just fucking just get to it.
Mac:Come on and say it. Like, are y'all got beef or is this something you're doing? Is this something y'all agreed upon to hype shit up? You know what I'm saying? Do y'all really not like each other?
Mac:Because there's ways to handle this shit. You know? Like, I don't know. It's it's, I don't know. It's a weird spot in rap for me.
Mac:The the the beef that everybody's talking about, the Kendrick, J Cole, Drake thing, like, I like them all as artists. Do I wanna see them in a in a back and forth battle? Like, I could care less about Drake lyrically trying to battle somebody. Like, I know he bodied, Meek Mill, but that was kind of a direct. Like, it was no subliminal shit.
Mac:It was just like, oh, so y'all motherfuckers don't like each other. Okay. This one, people would be like, did you know this whole album is a low key sneak disc? Like, oh my shut up. Just let me listen to that album and like it.
Mac:Jeez. Oh, man. But not NLE Chopper, man. You know, obviously, this hasn't been released yet. Thank God hopefully this performance and the reaction from the crowd.
Mac:Let you know that, you should probably not release this one right and kinda move on and uh-oh bro. This is wow If I was a bad bitch, I'd wanna fight. This is hopefully, you don't drop this shit, bro. Hopefully, this was an experiment. You saw it didn't work out.
Mac:You just like, I cannot release that shit. But that is all I got. That is all I got. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Mac:He knows who he was. I just be sitting here like, man, dude. Kendrick out here really talking about the importance black men getting out there and getting their mentors right and accepting a lot of things going on with their life. Like, bro, this is a very monumental album because us as black men, we really don't like to talk about stuff like that. We try to hold shit in.
Mac:And y'all that was a diss at at j Cole. Like, man, get out of here and let me enjoy the positive shit from this album. Y'all out here trying to make this shit a fucking warning shot, bro. Let me just leave. Anyway, hey, yo.
Mac:NLE Chopper, man. Sorry this didn't work out for you. I mean, if if this is what you wanna do, release it. You know, it's it's it's your bag. It's your thing.
Mac:You do what you want. I am a big component on if that's what moves you as a creator. Drop it, bro. There is a, comment. We probably could've had a house meeting on this shit, but, somebody posted something about Beyonce reminiscing about the time she performed with the Dixie Chicks at the Country Music Awards, and she didn't feel welcome.
Mac:So now this, cowboy Carter album she's dropping is was inspired by that that moment or whatnot. And, the way the article was written made it seem like she was upset that the initial, reception of her 2 country songs or her 2 newest songs that she has dropped has not been, genuinely accepted. They're charting and everything, but as far as, like, country really accepting her as a country artist, her thing is like, bro, this ain't this ain't country. It's a Beyonce album and all that stuff. So, I mean, when you drop it, I, for 1, believe that Beyonce is thinking that she can do whatever.
Mac:She has the money to do whatever, but if country is not willing to accept you, like, you know, like, you can chart, but then when you go to the awards, so if they're not really messing with you, it's no different than Kanye. Like, oh, I'm a I'm Christian rapper now. You know? And then you're winning the best gospel artist at the Grammys, but you're not going to the, you know, the the BT gospel music awards. You know what I'm saying?
Mac:You're not going there because they're not really you know, they know what you're up to. You know, it's it's like you could chart there. You can you can do all that stuff, but, like, real ones know. Like, if it's genuine, if there are genuine fans of country music, I think it's a level of gatekeeping in a certain thing. So it's, what did Jen say?
Mac:I think she should have done a different song, Chattahoochee's Chattahoochee's song. I don't know Beyonce is out here doing some stuff and we'll see what her album drops. I think it's next week early April or something like that. So we'll see how it goes. I do feel like she'll be upset, like, if it doesn't do well.
Mac:But, I mean, her like, anything she does does well because her fan base is is rabbit, bro. They they really out here supporting whatever this woman does. I just know I've only heard the first 10 seconds of each song. I'd like to be honest, if I'm listening to Spotify and it's like playing the top hits or something, and I hear, alright, man. Be safe, black, and, welcome to VA.
Mac:But, so I'm out here, like, if if if Spotify or anything starts playing, well, this ain't Texas. And this, bro, skip. Skip. Skip. 100%.
Mac:Kanye made some gospel shit, and now we got vultures 1. And let me tell you, vultures is not what what people was thinking vultures was gonna be. Now that's just me. Y'all could fuck with vultures. I tried listening to that shit.
Mac:I'm just like, this ain't it, bro. This ain't it. Like and and I fucks with Ty Dolla $ign, but he's like, Nate dawg, bro. You just just come on here and sing my hook, bro. I don't need no long ass verses from you.
Mac:I don't need you to try to carry a song. Just sing my hook, Ty. That's what you got the voice for. But I digress. NLE Choppa, man, I wish you success, and I wish you better songs in the future.
Mac:Producer, whoever produced this, I hope you learned your lesson. Make some more intricate beats. That way people like NLE Chopper won't wanna get on the beat and try to write some shit. So but it is time to talk about, this bracket. We are in the final round, And, let's see who we got moving on into the championship.
Mac:So ladies and gentlemen, here's our weekly bracket update. Now, for those of you who don't know, last week, there were there were numerous Travis Steeds of the 4 matchups. 3 of them were just 2 were just out of this world. Right? One was, the other was, out fucks with it.
Mac:So what I'm talking about is teen titans go beat out Justice League to make it to the final 4. Right? Completely completely what the fuck at that point. And then we had, Dexter's lab going up against, OG team titans. Right?
Mac:Again, nothing against Dexter's Lab, but, I feel again, this is just my opinion. Right? Obviously, I was the minority of of the group, but I feel like, the ball was dropped when it came to that. Then we had Powerpuff Girls beating out of ventures time. I would have picked it.
Mac:I did pick adventure time, but, again, you know, I'm not too upset about that. And then we had Young Justice beating out Star Wars to Clone Wars, which I'm okay with. I would have been okay with either one of those winning. But now we've come to the point where we have team titans go. Let me enhance.
Mac:As you can see, we already got the winners in here, but teen titans go was going up against Dexter's lab. Right? Now last week, teen titans go, washed Justice League Unlimited. Like, it it was a big ass gap. Like, to the point where you're looking at teen titans go, like, if it is better than the number one rated show on Cartoon Network, this is a juggernaut, and it's gonna make it to the finals.
Mac:That is what I was thinking at that point. Ladies and gentlemen, what if I told you, as you can see on the screen, Dexter's Lab beat out team titans go 84% of the vote to 16. And I believe this is what Black was trying to tell y'all. Like, y'all be hyping shows up like teen titans go to be running over legit contenders, amazing world of gumball, Justice League Unlimited. I forget what it beat before it got to Amazing World of Gumball, but it was just like, how is team titans go beating these other shows?
Mac:And then when it gets to the finals against Dexter's Lab, this is what you guys realize how piss poor of a show Titans Go is. Like, this is what it had to take for you guys to be like. You know what? This show really isn't that good. But it was good enough.
Mac:It was good enough to get past Justice League Unlimited in amazing world of gumball? Okay. So I just put in the comments. I was like, so this is where we draw the line. This is this is where we realized teen titans go was a piss poor show.
Mac:Noted. Got it. Well played. There were some people defending teen titans go saying that I saw the movie in the theaters, and I thought it was well done. I'm like, okay.
Mac:But did you watch Justice League Unlimited? Because that is probably one of DC's more or one of DC's best, you know, reprisals of of the Justice League arc in the comics in the animated form, in a episodic format to where they can take their time telling the story. Like, it's very well done. Nah, man. Teen Titans Go was lit.
Mac:Did you not see the one where they went on a road trip and Robin was shaking his butt and Cyclops yelled booyah and all that other stuff. Like, bro, what is he doing out here? Anyway, so Dexter's lab washes teen titans go. This is where people are like, oh, okay. Fuck it.
Mac:Then we move to the next matchup to where Powerpuff Girls beats out Young Justice. Again, the number 3 seed. 70% of the vote to 30%. Now nothing against Powerpuff Girls. Nothing against Powerpuff Girls.
Mac:I love Powerpuff Girls. OG Powerpuff Girls, not the remake. But, bro, Young Justice is another one of those shows where I'm just like, it's probably one of DC's best works. Episodic can tell the story like a whole like, what Marvel's doing with the MCU. That's what this was for the DCU.
Mac:Pop up girls was cool, but young justice gave me multiple seasons of great content. But, again, here we are. So at the end of the day, can I really be upset that we have 2 of the 3, I guess, OG, because it was these 2 and Johnny Bravo? We're like the OG cartoon cartoons, Cartoon Network's version of, like, Nicktoons, that these 2 are facing off head to head. I can't be upset.
Mac:I would have loved to have seen, you know, a DC show in here real quick, but that's neither here nor there. I'm cool with this. As long as teen titans go stops, I'm upset that y'all had it knocked out a lot of other competitors, but it is what it is. We're a group of the people. And if you guys voted team titans go on, like, we would've kept moving it on.
Mac:However, we are taking a bracket break for next month, because my heart cannot take, these shenanigans 3 months in a row. You know what I'm saying? So we will be taking a break, but just expect the next bracket to pick up, sometime in May. You know what I'm saying? In May is when the next bracket will be due.
Mac:But, so this is our finals. Dexter's Lab going up against Powerpuff Girls. I feel like this would be a very, close vote. Both of these shows are very, influential for a lot of people growing up and are funny to this day. I know I still fuck with Dexter's Lab when it comes on.
Mac:So we will see what the group decides. Voting will start on Wednesday as usual, and we will crown our best cartoon network show then. So let us go ahead and return to our regularly scheduled program and get ready for final shots and thoughts.
News Anchor:And now we return you to our regular schedule program in progress.
Mac:Final shots and thoughts. I don't have no shots, but let me take a sip of this delicious ass drink. What do we got going on for you? Well, let me just step up and apologize off the bat. Normally, you would have a falling star Friday, in the morning on Fridays.
Mac:I was working on that episode. I was adding some some music and some sounds to it, but, duty called. I got a call. Had to go respond to something real quick, and, I didn't get back in till, like, 3 in the morning. And, I was too tired to sit down and and get to the editing and stuff.
Mac:So if y'all are tuning in and y'all are just like, fuck is my falling star Friday, it'll get finished editing tonight, and then we'll work with the queens to figure out a good release date because we just don't wanna release a whole new episode of a podcast at fucking 9 30, 10 o'clock at night on a Friday. You know, that's not good for numbers. So we'll find a good time to put it out there, and, we'll ensure, and we will let you all know when that new episode gets out. I will say that this is probably one of the more action packed episodes. People's really going in, and it's set up for a very, very climactic, boss battle, if you will, for the next episode.
Mac:Just doing a little teaser. But, exciting episode again. The blame is on me for why it is not out yet. The blame is on me. So that will be coming out.
Mac:So falling star Friday is a thing. It's still going on. Just a a slight delay today. This Sunday, you can expect, United States Department of Nerds hosted by our very own Jeffy Jeff. We'll be talking about his experiences.
Mac:He was able to head up to Richmond for a Galaxy Con, met some dope, comic artists, met some good cosplayers. He has a couple of stories and some, some, I had the word in my head. But we'll be talking about some of his experiences up there at Comic Con and then dabbling a little bit into some upcoming shows, that he's been posting about in the USDN fan group page. So, be ready for that. And then next Saturday, 30th, the ladies from the Queens of Nerdm will be back doing their dune 2 kinda, discussion, their review, and they will be joined by a very special guest.
Mac:I don't wanna give it away. But if you are not following the Queens of Nerdom on their podcast page or their fan group page, you're probably missing out on a lot of updates on that stuff. So a lot of stuff coming down the pipe for, DFPN on the nerd side. And, if you have not seen this past Monday, the queens came out with a full show. They had a a recap of horror shows and movies that are on deck.
Mac:They did a nerd forecast of a couple of shows, a couple movies coming out. They did a review of live action Avatar. They did a review of Damsel, the movie on Netflix. Very, very, informative show. Lots of good, dialogue back and forth.
Mac:The viewers were lit. It was a good time. So like I said, if you're not following those pages to get the alerts of when they go live, you are missing out on a lot of stuff. But they will be dropping that as well, so stay tuned. And this Saturday, tomorrow, we'll be doing a session number 5 I believe Yep session number 5 of fallen star so stay tuned for that and we're working on doing a Patreon only session of that called, campfire and chill where, all the characters after their adventure, they'll set up camp and kinda share their thoughts and and kick it in and chop it up a little bit.
Mac:So, I am getting words that they will be dropping the avatar episode on Tuesday. So stay tuned for that. Make sure you're following and subscribing, wherever you can for your podcast to make sure you get the notification on your phone when that goes live. Anything else I'm missing, either Tay or Jen, EJ, anybody from the, Queens and Nerdom side? Anything I'm missing in DFPNY, let me know because you know I'll be forgetting shit because I'm old.
Mac:I'm looking. I don't see nobody say nothing. It looks like we're good. Alright, ladies and gentlemen. Hopefully, you guys had a good time.
Mac:I know it's always kinda kinda iffy, but it's only one of us because we don't have that dialogue going back and forth. But wanna say shout out to all the Patreon members that jumped in here and, kinda kept me going throughout the show. Keeping that energy up. I can't say thank you enough anytime we go solo, and I know Black feels the same way because he had to carry a show. I think it was a couple weeks back when I had the the.
Mac:Anyways, thank you guys so much for tuning in. If you're listening on Monday, thank you for, listening or watching on wherever you you you see us at. But without further ado, this has been episode 135 of the smoke pit live. I am the homie Mac aka your boy. And as my guy, bread like a king, made us Kelvin, Kaitley always says at the end of our shows, have love, make sex, peace.
Blak:Welcome to the smoke pit. It's Friday night, come and take a load off. Come sit in the smoke pit. It's time for us to show off. It's been a long week, come relaxing.
