This my baby. Black love and all that.

I pray everybody finds their person.

It took me a lot of trial and even more error to get here, so maybe I've got some good karma after all.

I thought #DisclosureDay was a good movie.

I don't be shocked by the people who think otherwise.

Be careful of people whose toxicity always comes wrapped in a joke. The humor creates the attraction. Later, you realize the joke was simply the safest way they could tell you who they really were.

The consequences of your mistakes don't die because you thought you killed the person who made them.

Emanny gets so close to a high-character perspective, then ruins it by sounding more self-righteous than self-aware.

He's missing something:

If you've truly become someone different, your past loses its power over your identity. People can bring it up all they want. It only stings if a part of you is still attached to it.

#DweebieWonder

The funniest thing is when Flip scoots up in his seat while he's arguing with Ish.

That's when he turns into Podder of the Month I can't lie. That version is entertaining.

"Colonialism has a tactic of taking the criminal element of a society and exalting it as the leadership" - KRS 1

Now replace country with race, territory with culture, and land with hip-hop. If you wanted to reshape a culture, would you elevate its wisest voices, or the ones easiest to redefine?

The lie pays. The lie gets famous. The lie becomes prestigious. Eventually, the most visible version of the culture is mistaken for the truest one.

Money is the bait for way too many people. The shift is happening though.

You don't create the thief. You leave the door unlocked.

The thief is still to blame. The unlocked door is still your responsibility.

Times are so funny. I'm kind of tired of being sold to by everyone.

None of it feels genuine. I mean, I want you to win, but damn. Who are YOU and my day was good, thanks for asking.

We don't find peace, we prepare a home for it. Peace may knock, but your thoughts, habits, and character determine whether it feels welcome enough to stay.

I believe you're free to live however you choose, as long as your choices don't violate someone else's ability to choose for themselves.

I believe people should be free to make whatever choices they want, provided those choices don't manipulate, coerce, deceive, or otherwise override another person's ability to make their own informed choices. Freedom is most meaningful when everyone gets to exercise it.

What bothers me about the show is how semantics and agendas get in the way of real understanding. It feels like people are more interested in protecting their identity or past decisions than genuinely examining the conversation.

I'm sure she's a sweet lady, but Mandy's perspective on relationships is too chaotic to be a voice other women should follow. The problem isn't that she has opinions, it's that people are influenced by them. She has a platform, she's successful, and somewhere there's an impressionable woman building her expectations of love, men, and relationships around that perspective. That part deserves more thought.

Is this a crazy idea or would you be offended. I have a theory. And I wonder if anyone would know where I'm going with this.

"It's Your Fault You Got Cheated On"

Baby Rose voice throws me off.

I be thinking she look like Dionne Warwick RIGHT NOW.

That dissonance disturbs my listening experience sometimes.

That's real, though. A clean exterior, but a junky interior says something about you.

How you do one thing is how you do everything. Ish does have some junky interior values, and he talks money and "who has that shit on" like it's supposed to make them a superior man.

Might as well add a Vine-like component to the site at this rate. 🔥

How do you betray, lie to, or deceive yourself?

We spend so much time worrying about who might deceive us that we rarely stop to ask how we're deceiving ourselves. That answer has the power to change your life.

I'd go Ish, but he'll be snapping his fingers trying to remember something. then....

I happen to think I'm slightly above mid 😂, but I'm certain my mind is elite. I like that about me.

Wouldn't communities just be separated like on reddit?

I just want to see commentary based on the episodes and the host.

I'm not trying to see Kai Cenats community among my Joemies.

That's the only thing that would turn me off. But I can't imagine that's the play.

How dare you grow when you're not growing how I want you to grow.

I support you and your growth, but but not if you grow the way you see fit to grow.



I don't want to diminish peoples concerns, but that's what it all feels like. Respectfully.

Ohhhh, so other creators will be able to have communities just like this on THIS platform?

Yo. That's brilliant. $$$$

And people feel slighted by that?

Some of ya'll only want Elon and Zuckerberg to be the only ones eating huh?

"No ideas original, there's nothing new under sun."

I heard that business men or creators tend to focus on making something that already exist 3% better.

*shrugs*

I have no clue what is happening right now.

I just keep seeing disappointed josts.

I've never been into scandalous shows like #ThePolygamist, but my lady begged me to watch it so we could talk about it, and it was the most jaw-dropping show I've ever seen.

SMDH @ Jonasi

The ONLY thing anybody KNOWS to be true is their personal experience.

Everything else is someone else's interpretation and their motive.

Mona is kind of triggering me at the start of this episode. All the laughing feels dismissive.

She's talking about having a big platform, yet she's repeating racial talking points that, in my view, deepen the divide between Black and White people instead of helping bridge it. If we want society to change, our thinking has to change first. Otherwise, we just keep reinforcing the same patterns.

#Episode947DragonsAndDinosaurs

Marc being in a cult and having such strong pushback on certain topics has always seemed odd to me.

Parks is quick with a snarky comment whenever he disagrees, too. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the contrast stands out. The culture seems fine letting debauchery slide, but question the moon landing and suddenly that's where the line gets drawn? That inconsistency is interesting.

#Episode947DragonsAndDinosaurs

I'm telling you...

The more an idea or perspective gets ridiculed and mocked, the more you might not want to follow the crowd that's doing the mocking.

Laughing at someone and attempting to embarrass their intelligence for what they think is a potent way to control someone.

Just pay attention.

It might be time for Marc to slow down on dismissing conspiracy theories so quickly.

You don't have to see it to believe it anymore.

Nowadays, you have to see it IN PERSON & know the context before you should start to believe it.



#Episode947DragonsAndDinosaurs

Don't mind me. I'm in my time machine.

Ish literally said, "I don't do that!" Then the next sentence says, "I do that to you"

That's a terrifying way to manipulate words and meaning.

Top-tier lie tactician.

#DontYouSeeTheVision

Dog. I would NEVER ask someone to go to the store to get some water. They'd have to volunteer.

The fact that Ish can't see how that's disrespectful is concerning.

Part of being considerate of the space you occupy with others is considering the impact your actions can have on them. Respect isn't just about intent; it's also about awareness. And honestly, I don't even want to force you to overcome your ego on my account. If consideration has to be extracted from someone, it probably wasn't there to begin with.

#DoYouSeeTheVision

So many people's default answer to "Do you need help?" is "No."

Knowing damn well they need some help.

Pride has probably kept more people stuck than incompetence ever has.

Ish said Derek Jeter retired recently.
He retired in 2014 fam. 12 years ago is recently to who?😂

Ish can't be stopped.

#DoYouSeeTheVision

The whole "You did it too, so why are you judging me?" argument is often just righteous indignation protecting people from change.

If I did it, my advice comes from experience. If I'm still doing it, I recognize a weakness I'm still fighting. Either way, I can still want better for you while I'm working on being better myself.

"You cannot judge somebody based on the decisions they make in a life that you don't understand." - Zaire

Environment absolutely influences the life you live & can make better decisions harder, but morality doesn't operate on a sliding scale. Circumstances may explain your choices, but they don't erase them or their impact. Everyone eventually has to answer for the decisions they consciously made. The good news is that accountability doesn't condemn people to stay who their environment taught them to be. Growth is always possible.

#TheWillToFight

I will judge you on how you nod your head to a song.

Hell. I'll judge you on IF you'll even nod your head or if you're too cool for school.

SMH @ myself.

Your spouse crashes their car with the person they're cheating on you with in the passenger seat. Are you staying at the hospital or leaving?

#Questions

The creativity in this song doesn't get talked about enough.

#SexySleeper

This'll get it done.

Thank me later.

Broken heart Emanny is a problem.

I need him to channel this vulnerability again.

Tell me I'm not the only one, but when you have to pee, WHY does the feeling intensify as soon as you get closer to the bathroom.

I was cool at my desk, Nice chill walk...now it got me power-walking the campus cause my brain knows the bathroom is near.

The brain is crazy.

Oh, you might as well start getting paid for making content if you have people clicking the notification bell for your jwitter jost's.

It's moving up my list of most irritating things on the pod, but my guy Ish GOTTA stop talking in lower-case letters.

ⁿᵒ, ʲᵘˢᵗ ᵐᵉ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵐʸ ᵍⁱʳˡ

What you say? Speak up like you do when you argue with Joe.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a better song that this.

To Fat Joe, honestly, if you don't know who 38 Spesh is, you're too industry for me and you're just being petty.

Those games are gross. More popular does not mean better. And it never has to a real one.

Podding with industry relationships has to be so hard, because people are sensitive.

I hate when I can tell who is being protected with how they speak.

I get it. I just hate it.

Why is Ice acting like 38 Spesh isn't about to rap? Him being on podcast is new.

That's how I know they nitpicking due to relationships.

#Episode946HovDid

I'm rocking with what 38 Spesh was saying. You have to act your age if you're still rapping. Anything else is irresponsible and thirsty.
