35.688 - 61.02 Unknown

had a tournament this weekend i was so excited to see my baby play soccer for the first time in a couple of months and we had been training with him and we're doing box jumps in the basement and shit because he ain't got no hamstrings um and i mean he just didn't he's like look you know you and we ain't got all these other skills but you slow like your daddy so i i'm smart enough to know what the problem is because i've been there right so you know we did all that

61 - 84.803 Unknown

And they fucked around and put us in a tournament against teams that were, like, skill level above us, which in soccer, that's... Yeah, that's a night and day. Yeah, it's night and day. It's like baseball. Like, if the team is that... Man, I done played so many baseball tournaments where it's like our team didn't realize we was mid-tier teams until we got into them top-tier games. Right.

0

84.943 - 109.464 Unknown

And they can beat us 21 to nothing. Like... they play in baseball. Like, like the, like the lead hitter is hitting home runs. It's like, oh shit, we fucked up. Exactly. Because we only got like two niggas on our team that can consistently hit a home run. These niggas come out first pitch, bing, like, oh, damn. It's going to be a long day. Y'all best pitcher hitting 75 miles an hour. You feel me?

0

109.484 - 130.726 Unknown

Like, they really AAU balling. And then it's like, this is when you realize you're playing a different caliber of team because these niggas coming from the country. Mm-hmm. So all these niggas big as hell, like they ain't never been to no gym. They been on a farm. And Georgia's randomly like a super baseball. So this when I was in North Carolina, I was playing majority baseball.

130.746 - 143.581 Unknown

When I moved to Georgia, I played, I tried out, I made the team, but then I realized like the coach had been coaching all these kids for, so he wouldn't start me regardless. And I was like, okay, fuck this.

Chapter 2: What experiences does the speaker recount from their child's soccer tournament?

143.721 - 164.701 Unknown

I should have stuck with it because I was really good. Cause I never had like, even in middle school, I was R county. I was already on the high school team, but then we moved. At least got some free college. Oh yeah, for sure. Easily. Yeah. I was, I was, I know for sure I was decent enough to get a scholarship. Well, not me. We'll see about this boy though.

0

164.801 - 182.17 Unknown

We'll see if we can see you in these boxes. It was zero athletics on your side? No, it's just me. That's what's wild. My older brother was an all-world running back. He was, you know, he was on like five, six, five, seven. It's just you. But he was like, you know, on that work done shit.

0

182.25 - 206.986 Unknown

My sister literally is a head coach for a top tier track team in college right now and like held records in Illinois for like 20 years on the hurdles and shit. And then, you know, I was really good at video games. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? I was on all the teams, but, you know, I shunned at Tekken. I was really good at Tekken in the community. My name rings bells. Yeah.

0

207.687 - 224.828 Unknown

You got to know your strength, though, bro. You know, and that's the thing, you know, we can transition when we get to the management shit. Like, that's a thing I think if niggas understand early on, we have a lot less problems. Every shoe don't fit, you find the one that fits you and you do that. My son is in sixth grade.

0

225.469 - 247.552 Unknown

Like, his older brother, he into athletics, but he more of a track and field. He like individual sports because, like, team sports, just to him, it just don't make sense. That's my youngest, yeah. But, um... My middle son, he in sixth grade, and he like, man, I'm trying to be an architect, but for the time being, I'm rocking with these video games heavily. Heavily. Heavily.

247.572 - 267.52 Unknown

It's a whole different stuff. We'd be recording. He'd be up there raging and all that type of shit. Like, I don't understand video game culture. I couldn't scream like that when I was growing up. Yeah, it's weird because I do, and I know it enough to know the modern video game culture don't got shit to do with me. or anything I want to do. I just started this year.

267.641 - 288.668 Unknown

I tried doing game streaming last year a little bit, and I don't like it that much because I actually like playing video games, but the kids and the people that consume video game content They want like a show. You know what I'm saying? They want you to scream and react and emote and talk through. And me, I'm trying to like pay attention to the game and I'm trying to enjoy the game.

289.008 - 306.467 Unknown

And so my shit is not entertaining. Yeah, I'm just literally watching this nigga play. He's literally watching this nigga play video games. And if I like a game, I don't want to have to turn on the camera to play it. I want to play the game because I like that shit. And then stop when I got to do something. And I don't have...

306.447 - 327.879 Unknown

these streamers be doing, you know, four, five hours sets of streaming. And like, if I get three hours, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, what's the word? A marathon for me. My back started hurting sitting in that chair. I had to lay down. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I'm a story mode. I don't play no online games. I don't do none of that. I've never online game ever.

Chapter 3: How do personal experiences shape the speaker's views on athletics and competition?

327.899 - 347.344 Unknown

Yeah. I mean, all you're missing is being called the N-word. I'm pretty sure. And motherfuckers with, like, you know, 14-year-olds that's been playing the game since they were six, you know, that know every, that have, like, muscle memory to do all the things that win the game. And, you know, I get it. That's a skill set. I've been around pro gamers.

0

347.405 - 369.118 Unknown

I went to EVO, which is, like, the fighting game Super Bowl 2024. And, like, being in there around them, I was like, oh, this really is different. That's when you realized you was just an average. I was a nigga good at games. Yeah. These are pro games. The same way you was just talking about soccer. Like, it's a, I've been playing Tekken since 1996.

0

369.138 - 392.436 Unknown

So, like, literally, I'm one of the oldest niggas in the world playing Tekken. Yeah. And there was this, there's this guy that's only played one game his whole YouTube career. And I could not beat him. He started playing tech in like a month before. And just the way, you know, it's I'm going to say it's a spectrum adjacent, which which I am spectrum adjacent skill sets.

0

392.536 - 404.275 Unknown

The way he's able to engage with that game and like process things and react is shit. I had to do work on since I was 13 years old. Yeah. And I could not beat this dude. That's that's the difference.

0

404.255 - 430.223 Unknown

yeah so i you know my son got to this one i knew i was like i'm out of gaming it was like he me and him always kind of bonded like playing the game and then it just gets to a point where i can't beat him and shit no more it's like that shit is frustrating bro because then he's a shit talker too like ah you thought you was gonna win like bro i will put you on punishment give me the plug Yeah.

430.243 - 446.04 Unknown

I'll tell you to go to your room. Like, I don't know what the fuck you think this is. Pull out the phone. I'm cutting the internet off to you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can do all that shit from the phone. I cut the internet off. I don't know what happened. But now, like, he like a real shit talker, like, and Tekken is my shit. Street Fighter.

446.02 - 464.653 Unknown

and Mortal Kombat so like we always play combat games the only game we play together like that's not competitive is Skate cause they got like the new Skate it's early access so we be like we'll take turns yeah we'll just do different shit you know what I'm saying but I don't even play with them in the game no more I'm just like bro I'm not finna play you I'm finna lose

465.713 - 487.266 Unknown

And it's like, that shit not fun. I'm not taking 10 L's back to back. Like, I'm not doing that. You feel me? And then it's my child. So it's like me looking at myself with my own ass. I'm straight on that. You know what I'm saying? Thankfully, I don't. My youngest, he's a true, true gamer. Like, he's a hipster. He plays retro games.

487.286 - 510.8 Unknown

Like, I had to go with him and, like, work with him to find emulators to play Metroid and Mega Man and shit. So he don't really like competitive games that much. He likes specific types of games. My oldest, you know, a word to the soccer, he's a little bit more on the jock spectrum. So he just playing Fortnite and Minecraft. And I tried to get both of them in Tekken, but I can't turn it off.

Chapter 4: What insights are shared about parenting and video game culture?

694.749 - 720.099 Unknown

And I was like, hey, let's go. That's tight. I love it. That's tight. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I rock with that. Yeah, because... I think environmental changes for my children is big for me. I was really influenced by my environment. I think more than anything, there's an ease to, like, allow them to be creative where that shit wasn't celebrated in my home at all.

0

720.659 - 733.033 Unknown

My home was very, like, old school, traditional, go get a job, go get a... You gotta be out the house by 18. You gotta be out the house by 18, all that type of shit. Whereas, like, I tell my kids all the time, like, bro, if y'all wanted to stay here, y'all could. You can't just...

0

733.013 - 751.731 Unknown

not do shit right and like I wouldn't even ask you to help pay bills and that like that it's just like you gotta be active figure something out you know what I'm saying buy your own car like if you want to work towards something like that I would I would love to be like a dad that's like I bought all my kids cars at 16 ideally that makes sense to me but I also know these niggas and it's like

0

752.588 - 773.346 Unknown

I don't know if giving you a car is gonna... Right, right. I'm not grandkids. You see what I'm saying? Especially this oldest one, bro. Yeah. Because he a FaceTime all day with his girlfriend type dude. Oh, yeah. He's 14, got a new girlfriend. It's like a whole thing. And it's like... He was diagnosed on the spectrum at, like, four or five years old. I saw it early. Right.

0

773.667 - 796.907 Unknown

And I think that's another thing, too, that we don't have, like, them holdups our parents had. Like, I made a joke on something, some other podcast this week, because somebody was asking me about my work, et cetera. And I was like, look, I come from a long line of undiagnosed autistic men. Straight up. Because, like, autism didn't exist before. until essentially 20, 25 years ago.

796.927 - 817.105 Unknown

I mean, it existed. I don't know where the camera, are we? Yeah, we've been rolling. It's you right here. Okay. It existed before I get some well actuallys and shit. Yeah. Right. But if you know the black community, you know that shit, you was weird, you was lazy, you was bad. All them things were euphemisms for autistic, ADHD, you know what I'm saying? Something else. For sure.

817.085 - 832.107 Unknown

um that's how my dad is like bro you got you got m&m collectibles from 1978 right i don't want to hear this shit my granddaddy like literally to his death would uh make blueprints for no reason that's hard

832.087 - 853.858 Unknown

yeah yeah he's he's it's exciting but it's weird it's weird as hell he would be in his room like didn't nobody want to talk to him because asshole that's probably also part of that whole you know strain of autism he had and it's in my family but he would just be in his room my grandma had died like two years before and so he would just spend his days making blueprints to shit the shit that didn't exist

853.838 - 869.113 Unknown

And so like, I got an uncle that can install a light switch in your car to turn it on. He ain't never been to no mechanic shop or nothing. He just figured that shit out. Where was I going? Oh, this is, so autism in the black community is what we call nigga rigging. Yeah.

Chapter 5: What critical perspective is shared about artists and criticism?

4184.407 - 4205.809 Unknown

I respect that shit. I loved that. I did. I don't like Port San Antonio. You can't... I'm a little... I'm way more gracious with Port Antonio than others, but I also... But you get it, though. I get why niggas is like, you're lame for that. It was lame. To me, it's like, me and you in an argument right here on this block, and you be like, you know what? You got it, bro.

0

4205.849 - 4217.377 Unknown

And I'm going to go on the next block and be like, man, I ought to beat that nigga ass. Like... What are you talking about, Kaz? You was right over there on the block. You told him he got it. You told him he got it.

0

Chapter 6: How does the discussion address the role of radicalism in modern society?

4217.777 - 4237.448 Unknown

After you started it. Those are all facts. But I fuck with him. I've been a fan of this nigga. And so what I explained to this person is like, I can be critical of artists that I like. I'm not a stan like you niggas. So this nigga is not Jesus to me. This nigga's a human. He's not above criticism.

0

4237.883 - 4260.444 Unknown

if J. Cole J. Cole is a fan of this show right I met J. Cole the other night dope he spoke so highly to me and like he spoke life into me bruh that was one of the realest shit ever I'm pretty sure he's seen shit on my show he like I don't really like that it didn't stop him from watching it He just doesn't have a public platform where he speaks to the public. Yeah. So his criticisms aren't.

0

4260.864 - 4262.647 Unknown

Right. You know, he don't have to live in that.

0

Chapter 7: What insights are provided on the relationship between capitalism and community?

4262.727 - 4282.548 Unknown

They're packaged in an album. You know what I mean? And I think the thing is, is like, oh, y'all be standing shit. It's staying. Y'all get married to shit. That's our new religion. Stay in culture. Damn. I fuck with Jay-Z. I also know you like a staunch capitalist and you only do what's in the best interest of your pockets, nigga. Yeah.

0

4282.568 - 4290.596 Unknown

Jay-Z was probably like, you know, there's ice shit going on. Let's get, let's get. Yo, get the bad bunny, nigga. For one, we gonna get the whole South America on our side.

0

Chapter 8: How can grassroots organizing impact systemic change?

4290.616 - 4310.868 Unknown

Right, right. We gonna get the cartel browns. We gonna feel included. We gonna, because at the end of the day, every Super Bowl, they wave their American flag. You dig what I'm saying? And they say we are American. Kendrick did it. Beyonce did it. Bad Bunny did it. Great, great contrast is the whites saying, oh, we're going to have the all American Super Bowl. Like, fuck y'all.

0

4310.888 - 4324.958 Unknown

Because here's the other thing, too. The NFL allows that as well. Because we could, just by you saying halftime show, we could have shut your whole shit down. You see how they did in Living Color. Yeah. They never let that happen again, brother.

0

4324.978 - 4325.158 FD Signifier

Oh, shit.

0

4325.198 - 4348.001 Unknown

They said, you know what? Y'all niggas want to have in Living Color? We finna go get Michael Jackson, brother. You know what I'm saying? Oh, shit. Let's stop talking about the elites. Oh, shit. Let's not talk about the Elisa. Right, right. That shit would have scared me straight. They got a mosquito. They got a mosquito drone in this bitch. I had my leave-in on that video on Monday ready.

0

4348.061 - 4368.198 Unknown

Like, I saw this nigga Deontay Kyle die in front of me from a light that was clearly, clearly... It's so rigged. It's really okay. These niggas is really powerful, so listen. Nigga sent a mosquito drone to knock the light down. But here's the thing, too. It's, um... It's just like walking through bubblegum. People say this.

4369.019 - 4389.102 Unknown

If I say anything that's like... That's the opposite of the philosophy of Yorugu, they'd be like, you obviously didn't read that book. I did, nigga. I'm not married to the book. Yeah. I still have my own thoughts. The book has some weird moments. It got some moments, bro. You know what I'm saying? Wretched of the Earth is also from a man who's like in extreme captivity. Yeah.

4389.302 - 4405.563 Unknown

Like, let's kill these niggas. Like, what are we talking about? So I got some of that in me, too. It's just not going to be out there because... Here's the thing. Like, Fred Hampton lived in a different time than us. You niggas wasn't outside with Fred Hampton. So you're not going to have the same philosophy. That outside don't even exist right now. It don't exist anymore, bro.

4405.683 - 4422.06 Unknown

And it's not even, it's not going to, so. We have to constantly update our theories and we have to constantly update what our like status quo is as far as like the people that y'all want to call radicals. We have a unique position in that. We're considered black radicals, but like we're,

4422.04 - 4439.357 Unknown

of the times bro so I could pull from history but I also have to deal with modern culture and modern America right as it is I can't like I can't cosplay revolutionary right and you shouldn't and that's like and that's the thing that I struggle with that because um
