0:15

of months , it's been a solo show , but

0:18

, uh , holding us down , i'm

0:20

supposed to have a guest host today . But having

0:22

guest hosts , man , sometimes they get busy

0:25

or sometimes things happen that are out of their

0:27

control and They get pulled away

0:29

. But wherever you are , however

0:32

you are , i thank you for listening

0:34

and I thank you for Bringing

0:36

0:38

your , into your , into your brain

0:40

and ears for fan faces

0:42

. I am , i'm ado , i'm ado the great

0:44

today's episode . We

0:47

talking about a plethora of subjects

0:49

sports , popular

0:52

culture , politics . The

0:54

list goes on , but I'll try not

0:56

to hold you guys too long , cuz

0:58

I know you guys got busy lives . So

1:01

let's get the show on the

1:03

road , huh ? First of all , today's

1:05

gonna be one of the best episodes

1:07

to date , not just because I'm doing

1:10

it , because that's what it's gonna be

1:12

. I'm bringing that energy and I

1:14

hope you can feel it . So , some

1:17

of the well , since the last time we spoke

1:19

. Uh , what happened then ? be

1:21

a championship . sir Roland

1:23

Celeb , older

1:26

male celebrities are having babies

1:28

. They passed They

1:31

passed an increase on the debt Ceiling

1:33

for the US government

1:35

so that way they can be able to pay the bills

1:38

. Also , we

1:40

got a burner boys love

1:42

for remakes . Well , burner

1:45

boys love for remakes has given him hits , so

1:47

makes sense He should consider down

1:49

that path , even though these

1:51

artists can expect I mean , they

1:54

know who burner boy is , so they're expecting

1:56

a big piece of the pie

1:58

and maybe even an

2:00

opportunity for them to get

2:02

the original song start streaming

2:04

again and getting big numbers . So That's

2:07

kind of perfect for their agenda . And but

2:09

I'm burner boys agenda . But I hope

2:11

they don't take a big chunk out of his what's

2:14

it called His percentage

2:16

that he's supposed to get . So that's

2:18

a get to show on the road . First

2:21

topics first you got the Denver

2:23

Nuggets going against the Miami Heat . Denver

2:25

Nuggets Took game one and

2:28

they dominated in all phases of the game . They

2:30

didn't take that many . Well , they dominated

2:33

in all phases of the game and they held

2:35

the Miami Heat and their

2:37

role players , jimmy Butler and the role players

2:39

. They held them at bay . They

2:42

held them at bay and It's

2:44

not well . I can't say it's not looking too good . It's

2:47

early to game one game one , so

2:49

usually chippy . But an NBA

2:51

, the way game one goes , the

2:54

way game one goes determines who the champion

2:56

is . Unless Miami could pull

2:58

off some miraculous wins

3:00

and Maybe get a

3:03

couple of wins back to back , i feel

3:05

like this is Denver's , denver's game

3:07

to lose . But Miami's been

3:09

chippy . They've played , they've punched

3:11

above their weight class , but At

3:14

this woman time you can't say they've been punched

3:16

like above their weight class , because it seems

3:18

they're right where they belong . They

3:20

beat the 76ers

3:22

, they beat the Celtics and

3:25

now they're going against

3:27

the Goliath and the

3:29

Denver Nuggets with Nikola Jokovic

3:32

. And

3:34

Nikola Jokovic has been

3:36

putting in work and playing

3:39

basketball , playing basketball

3:41

as he knows how to do . I mean , he's

3:43

not the most athletic , his shot's

3:46

not the prettiest , he's not

3:48

the most chiseled guy out there , but yeah

3:50

, still , he's just playing his game and

3:52

that's working out for him , which is great And

3:56

I hope to see well

3:58

. Game 2 is going on . Right now

4:00

I can't watch it because I'm recording

4:02

the podcast , so we'll

4:05

know the results and I'll talk about

4:07

it , probably on Wednesday and in the pod

4:09

short and keep you guys updated

4:11

. We'll see how that goes , but , like

4:13

I said before , i feel like

4:16

Denver Nuggets , jamal Murray

4:18

and Nikola Jokovic

4:20

is their time to

4:23

win . So

4:28

go Denver , alright

4:30

. Next talking

4:33

point here is the

4:35

New Zealand Air decided

4:37

that they needed to weigh passengers that

4:40

are traveling on international flights

4:43

from New Zealand to anywhere . But

4:45

I mean , this is not information

4:47

known to the public , but I guess when

4:50

you board a flight , everybody

4:52

is accounted for weight wise , not

4:55

just everybody . Everything is accounted

4:57

for weight wise . So the

4:59

way they do it is they have a general

5:02

measurement that they've taken . If you're

5:04

around this age , you should

5:07

weigh this much , so they calculate

5:09

that in and that's

5:11

how they try to account for everybody . But

5:14

it's a double edged sword . If

5:17

you keep it that way , it's kind of anonymous

5:19

. And when I say

5:21

that way , meaning if you keep like a generalized

5:24

number for people , it's kind of

5:26

anonymous . It's great , nobody

5:29

gets their feelings heard about

5:31

it . But if you turn it around and try to

5:33

literally put people

5:35

on scales before they hop on a plane

5:37

and weigh them , they may feel disrespected

5:39

And airline

5:42

just like a restaurant doing a customer service business

5:44

. If the customers are not happy , you

5:46

get bad reviews . And when you get bad

5:48

reviews . What does that do for you ? It

5:51

scares you a little bit and you

5:53

might want to fall back into the old

5:55

habits of just guessing And

5:58

, you know , putting in guidelines

6:00

to assume that people around

6:03

a certain age should weigh a certain amount And

6:05

that could account for the

6:07

weight limit if you have a weight limit or

6:09

the amount of pounds that you

6:11

could travel with on an airplane

6:14

, on a particular airplane that day . So

6:16

it's a very tricky situation

6:18

. On one hand , you don't want to upset

6:20

people because you know it's customer

6:23

service laden . On

6:25

the other hand , you want to make sure

6:28

, for safety concerns , that

6:30

you don't overload the plane , and if

6:33

a plane is overloaded it could cause

6:35

I mean a disaster

6:37

, as things could happen , ie a crash

6:39

or , you know , a failure

6:41

to take off or not land properly

6:44

, whatever So and all

6:46

of that could kill people . So you know

6:48

it's a tricky , tricky , tricky

6:51

situation there , but

6:53

I hope they figure out something and let

6:58

it not be detrimental to them . Don't cut

7:00

off your face to spot your nose , kind of deal . Take

7:03

your time , do the right thing and

7:05

don't offend people , because you're in the customer

7:07

service business And customer and customer

7:10

service representatives or

7:12

customer service . Businesses are always hopping

7:15

on the customers , always right , and Weighing

7:17

people before they enter a plane will

7:19

not make people happy . So the customer , you

7:22

know , may get pissed off at you , but

7:24

that's neither here or there . I hope you

7:26

guys make the right decisions . But onto something

7:29

that's local and homegrown

7:31

. We got a debt

7:34

ceiling raised for the United States government

7:36

and raising

7:38

the debt ceiling helps the government pays its bills

7:40

and That's . That's

7:43

great for the economy . That's great

7:45

for America's credit score . Great for the economy

7:47

. Because of the country defaults . Then

7:50

our money is less valued and

7:52

then prices of goods go up I

7:54

mean , they've been going up already and America

7:57

? it makes it that much harder for America to be able to borrow

8:00

money because they have a bad credit rating . That

8:02

wouldn't be good . So it's a

8:04

good thing that the Republican portion of government

8:06

and The Democratic

8:08

portion of government came together to strike

8:10

a bipartisan deal to make

8:12

sure that America Stability

8:15

could at least be on our corner

8:17

for a few more years . Our or

8:19

our along . The debt ceiling was raised for

8:22

they struck a deal for . But the bad

8:24

thing Some of us we think it's a bad

8:26

thing . Some of us with student loans may

8:28

think it's a bad thing is that a

8:30

They did not . They

8:33

didn't put in there that we

8:35

could . They could wipe off student loans or

8:38

even give an allowance That people

8:40

given allowance , that people could

8:42

get back or you know a

8:44

limit where you know You don't

8:46

have to . Once you've reached that threshold , you don't

8:49

have to pay anymore . So that

8:51

wasn't part of the deal . That was one

8:53

of Joe Biden's things that he wanted to do , but

8:55

we don't get to do it . So people Recent

8:58

graduates , past graduates looks

9:00

like we're gonna all have to tighten our belts and pay off

9:03

our student loans . As

9:05

much as we thought who , the leaf was on

9:07

the way and hope was on the way to

9:09

clear out the debt , as

9:12

far from over , it were , far from there . So

9:14

they're gonna restart that those

9:17

student loan , student loan Payments

9:20

again . And the interest rates are not . You

9:23

know They're probably gonna go up because

9:25

interest rates are high everywhere and

9:27

I'm not gonna like it one bit . But

9:30

speaking of politics , we

9:32

got Russia issuing

9:34

It's . This

9:37

particular topic is very funny . Rush is

9:39

issuing arrest warrants against

9:41

people They can't even get to and these people

9:43

won't even be in their jurist in

9:45

there in the Russia and Russia's jurisdiction

9:48

for them to arrest them . They

9:50

put out a arrest warrant against Lindsey Graham . Basically

9:52

, they're putting out arrest warrants against anybody that

9:54

says Anything that

9:57

Russia does not like . If you

9:59

speak out against Russia , there's an

10:01

arrest warrant out for you . If you're somebody

10:03

that's That's

10:05

kind of popular or

10:07

, you know , famous or

10:09

in government , if you speak out against Russia

10:12

, there's an arrest warrant out for you . Silly

10:14

, silly , silly , they can't really

10:16

get to you . But if you ever decide

10:19

to go to Russia Which most these people

10:21

will never decide to go to Russia on a whim

10:23

But if you did out of

10:25

nowhere , out of the blue , you land in the

10:27

airport , i'm sure there's an arrest

10:29

warrant for you and they'll arrest you

10:31

and You

10:33

may be shocked or surprised . So

10:36

don't step in there . Rushes

10:38

using all the political tactics . And

10:40

another thing That made

10:43

me laugh kind of . I

10:45

mean it's a sad thing . The Ukrainians

10:48

bomb Russia's land . They

10:50

went into Russia and were bombing I

10:53

mean drone , drone , drones

10:55

were bomb bombings . They

10:58

were bombing some important structures and

11:00

Russia calls the Ukrainian

11:02

army , the Ukrainian drones

11:04

, terrorists or the Ukrainian

11:06

army terrorists . For you

11:09

know , bombing them you got . So

11:11

that made me laugh and I was thinking well , russia

11:14

, you've been bombing Ukrainian buildings

11:16

, all this all along , this war all

11:18

along , and you're not considered terrorists

11:20

. It's part of war . So if

11:22

you're getting the same back on return , that's

11:25

our goes , man . It can't be good for

11:27

you and not good for them to do . There's

11:29

no . Well , there's the genie genie of a convention

11:32

, but for the most part there's not

11:34

. I mean , there's rules to war , but

11:36

the way you guys are engaging them

11:38

is the same way they want to engage you . You

11:40

try to damage your infrastructure . They're trying to damage

11:42

your infrastructure . They're trying to , you know , touch

11:44

a couple of important pieces on your land , just

11:47

so you know how it feels and maybe

11:49

you think a little bit

11:51

about the war and get

11:54

out of there and go back to your peaceful go

11:56

back and go back to your land and Keep

11:59

your peace of mind . But you

12:01

Louder me a Putin and a propaganda

12:03

machine and the rushes Probably

12:06

losing their minds that they're

12:08

bombing us . Well , they're not

12:10

losing their minds . It's actually an opportunity

12:12

for them to be like CC They're the aggressor

12:14

. They're coming into our land because People

12:17

in Russia don't know anything about , but they

12:19

may . They may not know much about

12:21

the war , they may think that Ukraine's a aggressor

12:24

. And when , lord and behold , the rush

12:26

is the one that decided to go attack , do Ukraine

12:28

and get into their land and bomb them . So

12:31

what goes around comes around , i guess . But

12:34

let's get out of the

12:36

politics of it all , let's get into

12:39

, uh Well , actually politics

12:41

. Let's stick on politics . We got

12:44

the Sierra Leonean government . Elections

12:47

are coming up . Local artists are making

12:49

music . Vote at your right

12:51

, go vote at your right . But we all

12:53

know So From

12:55

what we've been hearing since last year

12:57

About the elections They're very

12:59

corrupt . The government , the

13:02

president right now in Sierra

13:04

Leone , julia Smada , be always

13:06

employed . A lot

13:08

of us tribesmen in positions

13:10

of power to help him win , to help him

13:12

win this election , and

13:15

He may likely win

13:17

. Win or lose . He may likely win because the

13:19

international community may not want a war and

13:22

they don't want a war . They'll just give the

13:24

election to the incumbent , which is him

13:26

, because the country is down-trodden

13:29

already . We don't want to start anything

13:31

else unnecessarily . So if he

13:33

says he wants to be present for five more years , they'll

13:36

give him that . But the only

13:38

thing is , once you get to five

13:40

more years and you decide you don't want

13:42

to leave , who's going to make you leave ? Isn't

13:45

that ? it's the international community going to continue

13:47

to appease him ? because

13:49

if they don't , there may be a civil

13:51

war breaking out , breaking out in the country

13:54

. And The country

13:56

already operates as an island and it's already

13:58

on stable monetarily . So

14:00

it's just going to go downhill further

14:02

, further . So I hope they

14:04

make the right choice and the right decision and let

14:07

the elections go peacefully

14:10

, let People

14:12

exercise their right to vote , let

14:15

the citizens realize their

14:17

hopes and dreams and let the Country

14:19

continue to make forward leaps and

14:21

grow . All right , let's

14:24

get out of The election land

14:27

, the political realm . Let's go

14:29

back to popular news . Earlier

14:32

this week , al Pacino had

14:34

a baby , or he's having a baby

14:36

on the way . He's 83

14:38

. His significant other that he's having

14:41

a baby with is 29 years old . But

14:44

This lady , her name is Nor

14:46

Nor . What's

14:49

her name ? Her name is Nor Alaphala

14:51

Nor . That's not a first

14:54

foray into dating older men . She

14:56

dated Mick Jagger , the rock

14:58

and roller from I

15:01

forgot the Rolling Stones . Mick Jagger is the front

15:03

man for the Rolling Stones . She dated

15:05

him for a year And

15:08

then she turned around after they broke

15:10

up , dated Al Pacino and

15:12

now she's having Al Pacino's baby . She's 29

15:15

, he's 83 . He could be her father

15:17

and grandfather . So

15:21

when the baby comes out , the baby's I

15:24

mean , the baby has his

15:26

father and grandfather in one place , but

15:28

the baby does have older siblings that

15:30

you know that are gonna be around , but

15:33

that's just crazy . So

15:35

right now the big

15:37

hoopla is is it safe for

15:40

older men to have kids ? On

15:42

one hand , that's your right If you can

15:44

go , have all the babies you want , especially

15:46

if you can afford them . But on the other

15:48

hand , will you be around long enough

15:51

for that child ? Cause kids

15:53

need both their mom and dad if they're

15:55

available when they're growing up . But

15:58

if that's not the case and

16:00

that's not possible , you being 83

16:02

, you're literally knocking at the

16:04

step of at the door

16:06

, i mean at the steps of death . You

16:09

could die anytime and your chance

16:11

, your chance , are far more increased at

16:13

an old age than a younger age . So

16:15

I could see that . I could see that being

16:17

an issue You can't . Just

16:19

you know , as an older man , you

16:21

shouldn't be a having baby shouldn't be

16:24

a thing anymore . You should , you

16:26

know , be ready to be a grandfather

16:28

or something . And also the

16:30

complications with having kids at an

16:32

older age , where

16:35

you know the baby could come out abnormal due

16:37

to the fact that , genetically , your

16:40

DNA material is getting older

16:42

and it's easily distorted . That

16:44

could definitely , you know , disturb

16:46

the growth of the child or the what's

16:50

it called the DNA of the child in that aspect

16:52

. So that's where I stand on

16:54

it . But I mean it's your

16:56

choice , of course . If you can , then you're capable

16:59

and you can handle them . When I

17:01

say handle them , you could provide for them and

17:04

make sure that everything is good for good with

17:06

them for the rest of their lives . I guess

17:08

you can go for it . There's nothing that says

17:10

no , you shouldn't . But Al Pacino

17:13

oh yeah , al Pacino's friend

17:15

, haraba De Niro , also had a baby recently

17:17

. He's 79 years old . They

17:20

just out here popping babies left and right

17:22

. These old guys , i guess they're

17:25

nostalgic . They want to go back

17:27

to the days when they were chasing around , chasing

17:29

around their kids , Cause

17:31

when they were younger they really I mean , they weren't

17:33

the thick of their careers , they weren't around to

17:35

be fathers . But I guess now

17:37

is as good a time as any to settle down

17:40

and be a father . So I guess

17:42

you know , good luck to them and

17:44

hope everything works out . Onto

17:47

another popular culture topic , we got

17:49

a burner boy , africa's

17:52

giant . He is literally the biggest

17:55

African or Afro

17:57

soul or whatever

17:59

the biggest African act out right

18:01

now . He sold out

18:04

an arena in London that takes over

18:06

80,000 people . He

18:08

sold that out and one of the first acts from

18:11

the continent of Africa to do that . And

18:14

his latest thing he

18:16

made a remake of Tony Braxton's

18:18

song And that

18:21

was pretty big for him , but

18:23

he gave her a good percentage

18:25

of the royalties . And now

18:27

he's making a . He made a remake of Brandy's

18:29

song Sitting on Top of the World . Back

18:31

in the day that was one of my favorite songs . You got

18:34

Brandy and

18:36

my boy , mace . When I was younger

18:38

I wanted to be Mace so bad . This

18:41

was like 97 , the shiny suit

18:43

days bad boy days . I

18:45

wanted to be part of that . So bad , and I wanted

18:47

to be part . I wanted to be Mace . He

18:50

was my idol at age nine , 10

18:52

, 11 . I was like he's the guy

18:54

I want to be like . He was just so smooth

18:56

with his swagger . But they

18:58

made a song he made , he rapped and

19:01

the song with Brandy sitting on top of the world . She

19:03

sang , of course . And now Burner

19:05

Boy is using the beat and the chorus

19:07

and he's

19:10

made another hit song . In my opinion . I

19:12

feel it's a hit And

19:15

that's That's great

19:17

for him . That's that's that

19:19

may seem to be his lane and moving forward

19:21

, taking old American songs that he enjoyed

19:24

and putting this spin on it and

19:26

putting it out to the world , which

19:28

is great for me because I love

19:31

when I'm at the club or when I'm somewhere . Old

19:34

song has been remade and

19:36

it has a new vibe to it But

19:39

new energy to it and sounds

19:41

pretty good . I listened to it a couple of times

19:43

and I even put it on a reel in the Facebook

19:45

And I mean I just

19:47

like the whole vibe of the song . So congratulations

19:50

to Burnaboy and his new hit And

19:52

congratulations to Mason Brandy

19:54

, because now you may get a little piece

19:56

of that modern pie , the streaming

19:59

money from that song , because people

20:01

are going to listen to the original , people are going

20:03

to listen to this version that

20:06

Burnaboy made It's still called Sitting

20:08

on Top of the World And

20:11

they're going to go back , run back , to

20:14

listen to the original . Speaking

20:16

of remakes , fabio Foreign made

20:19

20:21

Destiny's Child song , kind

20:23

20:27

my name and this other song

20:29
