And we're live. What's up, everybody? How we doing? Motherfucking Sidney Gant, Tim Buddley. Thank you guys for coming. I'm fucking so pumped to have you down here.
Thank you so much. Thanks for having us in the arena of ideas. I knew you guys could rock the setup, dude. Yeah. Do people get competitive on here? I want to win the podcast. I know.
I need a buzzer. Well, here's the deal. No, if someone says something out of bounds, I will put you down.
But for now, we're peaceful. Dude, I feel like I should end all my sentences with my brother. You can. Why don't you anyway? I don't have the glass. I need the non-prescription circular glasses for that.
True. Possibly a bow tie.
Yeah, I need a bow tie.
I have the hair for it. Here's my thing. If I were black, I would talk. Like, really black. You know what I mean? I don't know. I always feel bad. What are you trying to say to Sidney? I wasn't allowed. You can do whatever you want.
I'm talking about my blackness. My family wouldn't let me. Are you saying Sidney's leaving blackness on the table? I think so.
I think there's some blackness to be had.
When you're like, I'm going to end my sentence with my brother, I'm like, why don't you every time?
Remember the movie Ray Charles when they were trying drugs for the first time and they wouldn't let him try drugs? Yeah. That's how my family was with Talking Black. They were like, this ain't for you, man. You don't want to be a part of this. So this is, like, my family, everybody in my family does talk that way. Yeah. Except for me and my brother. And they wouldn't let you have it. No, they wouldn't let us get it in.
Did they ever send you as, like, their emissary to deal with white people? All the time.
I think that's what they were trading us for. That's so funny. Yeah, we were ambassadors. What did I tell you about saying she?
You can say shit.
You can say, God damn it. I would always be like, yes and no. I could never be like, oh, hell nah. Oh, you could do it on hell nah. Nah, nah. I wasn't like, they wouldn't let me say the N word. Everybody else in the house was saying the N-word, and I was not allowed to say it. What the fuck? I had to call it the N-word. What? This is no bullshit. My mom talked to the bus aid. I disagree. That is some bullshit. That is some bullshit, right? My mom would talk to the bus aid. I wasn't allowed to sit on the back of the bus. No. Swear to God. I was not allowed to sit on the back of the bus.
How long would you get grounded if you were to say something like, I don't know, ain't this about a bitch?
Yeah.
That's the whole summer indoors.
How do you feel about that, though? Do you think it was a hookup? What do you mean?
Did you say that blacker? Can you say that whiter, please? What is the hookup?
Is that a desirable outcome?
Oh, no. Okay, see, I get that. So, no. No. Yeah, you didn't like that. No, I mean, I would just find different ways to, like, find my own little vibe. For sure. So it just made me more creative.
Yeah. You know?
That's true.
Right. The arbitrary constraints that create great art, you know?
Exactly. I like that. Exactly. But I would, so I would get in trouble in school because, like, I wasn't allowed to sit on the back of the bus. But when the bus would stop, like, either at home or at school, I would run to the back and open the emergency doors and hop out. That's sick. Like, I was the guy that would start that rebellion every morning. Yeah. Do you do an emergency exit out of the bus? I did. Non-drill? Non-drill. That's crazy. Yeah, I would just blow past the safety patrol that knew I was going back there to do it. And I would sometimes have to swim move because they try to put that hand out to stop me. Bus safety is no joke.
I was a bus safety. I think I was a bus safety. Sidney was tactically running with both arms behind his back. How big was your school bag at the time? Naruto blasted through it. You're a giant school bag kid running off the back of the bus. Damn. Isn't that like the opening scene of a Goofy movie? Isn't that what the son does? Does he skateboard off the back of a school bus?
