1:03

She was arrested for contributing to the delinquency

1:13

Investigator say, at least two other people

1:17

on the student, even get in between

1:20

the two. What she was

1:22

gonna get it one way? Your another was

1:25

a juvenile. That's hilarious,

1:28

Jackline, What does that I mean? You can't

1:31

help yourself when

1:33

juvenile. You

1:35

know, so, your honor, my

1:37

client is not guilty, and we all know when

1:40

back that ass up comes on, you're

1:43

such a freak, Jacqueline. That is

1:45

not true. That

is not true either is the argument

1:50

of you can't help yourself when back

1:52

that ass comes up, or it's just Florida

1:55

as a state. Florida.

2:19

My name is Roy, this

2:29

just know that it is presented fresh You're

2:32

hot for you on Wednesdays wherever you

2:34

download podcast. Um.

2:37

I'm not saying that other days of the week of whack,

2:39

but I am saying that Wednesday is the one that

2:41

is the best. Any other day is whack. Friday's

2:44

payday and all that money be gone as

2:46

soon as it hit your counts. Saturday's trash because

2:49

that's where you spend all the money. Sunday, Monday

2:52

2:54

That Monday is around the corner. But Wednesday,

2:57

she is the white blood cells that keeps the show pure.

3:00

J G. How are you doing

3:02

it though? I'm well, Roy how

3:04

are you? Oh good?

3:06

Thank you to everybody whom shot

3:09

an email it two in regards to um

3:13

the brother Banks last

3:15

week, Ramsey

3:18

High School and the death of music and everything

3:21

that's going on with trying to get

3:23

the bands back to the school system.

3:25

But um, we have to say thank you to you

3:28

really quickly. I apologize for interrupting,

3:30

but you started that world

3:32

wind role of people donating,

3:35

and there's still time to donate because they

3:37

try to get to New York. We've got

3:39

to get these young children to New

3:41

York City so they can get their first rat bike.

3:44

And I think that's it's

3:48

rats about Carnegie Hall. So yeah,

3:54

yeah, we didn't say an uptown rat was in Manhattan

3:57

rat just a little like third.

4:01

How's the young fourth doing with the

4:03

football? He's he giving up on it yet or is he

4:05

loving it? Because this is about that point with sports

4:07

where your kid doing something for the first time, but they're

4:10

kind of go ahid daddy, this ship trash. You

4:12

know. The weird take on that man is

4:15

Ralph played spring football and now he's playing

4:17

fall football without

4:20

understanding that most people have a full

4:22

year in between seasons. So

4:25

so now when he's out there with the kids. He said

4:27

stuff like, yeah, you know back when I was playing in the

4:29

spring, you know it was way tougher

4:31

round. That was two months ago. Bro, Like, it's not, it

4:35

was not. It was not all time A man

4:38

um the shout out to my playing field times. We're

4:40

currently one in three. We're working

4:42

on it, brother, we're working on I don't think you should shout

4:44

out of teams. They they are kids

4:47

and this is encouragement. So you know what I'm saying,

4:49

y'all just get better. Please,

4:52

if you're listening to this and you play for Ralph's

4:54

team, turn it off and go to study

4:56

some football. Go watch some tapes. Please

4:59

watch something coming just for me.

5:01

Go watch something on open field

5:03

wrapping people up for coach. That's

5:05

all I'm asking. We asked that you

5:08

visit us on all the socials

5:10

at Roy's job Fair or Roy's job Fair

5:12

dot com if you ever want to be a partner program

5:15

Russ job Fair. Gmail is

5:17

the email address. Uh j

5:20

G. What's your sidebar? Real quick? Oh?

5:22

My sidebar is a note from

5:24

your uncle. He didn't send an email, He just

5:26

called me directly. He wants you to know

5:29

he has an iPad and he's ready to

5:31

be on the show. After

5:33

three times being on this show, he found technology

5:38

to be on the show. Yes, he

5:41

has an iPad? Who

5:43

about Uncle Derek and iPad? That's telling

5:45

his face? I'll tell you out fair. Oh

5:49

to a woman, you

5:51

think Uncle Dave's discovered only fans. Don't

5:54

ever mentioned only fans to my uncle, because

5:56

my uncle is one of the mines that don't fall for it and be messaging

5:58

the women actually talking to

6:00

him and don't realize he's talking to some hired

6:03

intern. You got a choice. He can

6:05

either, you know, do the only fans

6:07

thing, or he can follow a ride on Twitter like

6:10

that's that's a that's a pretty fair playoff one

6:12

way or the other. Well, we're gonna

6:15

work on turning it on first. That's

6:17

what he don't don't

6:21

you know. I have to help him, Jaqueline.

6:24

I'm asking you respectfully as a friend,

6:26

please don't help my uncle into the

6:29

portal that is the web. Please,

6:32

no, no, no, that flip

6:34

phone was perfect, cause it ain't, but so much mischief

6:36

you can get in on a flip phone. But he

6:38

wants to learn. Speaking

6:41

of, it's about time to do another freaky episode.

6:44

Maybe we need to rack up some only fans people

6:46

and stuff like that real quick. Also, let

6:48

me make this solicit right now. Rod's

6:50

6:52

workplace sex and but naked action that's been

6:55

7:05

Tappy, is that gonna come

7:07

7:09

d M s on the I G says Uncle

7:12

Tappy quote. Listening

7:14

to the Rods Relationship Office

7:16

Party episode, it

7:18

reminded me of the time I slept with someone for

7:20

months in the academic department who thought

7:23

I was single. I

7:25

love I love that Tappy didn't tell it.

7:29

How do how does she? Okay? Yeah, I'm

7:32

gonna Tappy to talk that one out. Yeah

7:36

yeah, I'll stop right

7:38

there. As

7:41

is customary once every four months, this

7:43

is the part of the show where

7:46

I have to ask you to rate and review us. And

7:48

I don't like doing this, and I know that

7:51

every podcast asked you to rate

7:53

and review and tell us did

7:55

you like it? And tell a friend. We never do that.

7:58

But here's how pot casts or

8:00

metrics and decided upon its

8:02

literally it's literally decided to pulling how

8:04

many people interact and engaged. And so

8:08

if you love us, this is our

8:10

Once every five months, ask to

8:13

whatever app you're on, please rate the podcast.

8:16

Write two sentences and say it's good

8:18

or they're not good, five stars

8:20

whatever. And I promised to not ask

8:23

you again until probably February.

8:27

Is that fair. I'll check in with them and see

8:29

if they're in the mood. So this is

8:31

me taking the temperature. We're gonna talk

8:33

with the homie Dalen Golf today,

8:35

uh, the new president of Jet magazine.

8:37

And apparently there's some scams going

8:40

on down there at these football stadiums

8:42

when they're selling the bear. We're gonna find out

8:44

what the fun going on down there as well. But first

8:47

it's time for the most Outstanding

8:49

Employee of the Week. Now, it's

8:52

hurricane season. Never

8:56

a good time when you see the hurricanes out

8:58

there and see those reporters.

9:01

Why why are we still putting reporters out? Thank

9:03

you hurricane? Please answer that makes

9:05

no sense. Saying

9:08

holding them down makes no sense. Okay,

9:11

See the

9:14

wind is blowing very

9:16

hard. I don't know if

9:19

you can tell by the ripples

9:21

in my face. Thank

9:24

you, thank you. Can you tell us a little bit

9:26

about what you're seeing on the ground, nothing,

9:28

motherfucker, I can't. There's

9:32

driving rain hitting me in

9:34

my face at about two hundred and fifty mile

9:36

an hour. All I see is

9:39

darkness, darkness.

9:42

So there was a hurricane a

9:45

little while back up there.

9:47

And where was

9:49

it the Gulf coast side of Florida, Hurricane

9:52

Ian Strap Brown,

9:54

you know, somewhere around um

9:57

Naples and Fort Myers, um.

10:02

And it's one thing about reporting that you have to

10:04

do. You have to improvise m

10:07

you know. And if you're out there in those elements

10:10

a lot of water. Electronics

10:12

can get wet m okay,

10:16

and they put the little they have a case, you

10:18

know for the cameras. Now all

10:21

weather okay, And it's not what what

10:23

what is the different waterproof versus water resistance?

10:26

That's the difference. There's waterproof versus water resistance.

10:29

That's the real trip. Yeah, like, get

10:31

a little water off it, but it's not water tight. Water

10:33

Proof is means it's water tight. If

10:36

I'm not mistaken, I'm not sure. It means it's water

10:38

tight. Water resistance means that you can put

10:40

it in water, and it can and it can hold for a certain

10:42

amount of time, but you can't like just hold

10:44

it down there forever. It's still gonna kirk

10:47

out promise that. Okay,

10:49

okay, got you so wonderful

10:52

reporter. It was out

10:54

there reporting in the rain and NBC

10:58

two reporter Kylie

11:00

Galor he's on camera

11:03

giving her live reporting the rain, and you know she

11:05

has to do that with a microphone and that rain is

11:07

coming down profusely. What is the most

11:09

efficient way, Jacqueline, if you

11:11

did not have the

11:14

proper microphone casing

11:16

to properly protect this microphone and waterproof

11:19

from the element, what would you

11:21

how would you? What would you mcgiver

11:23

a microphone cover out of Well,

11:26

I couldn't use you've

11:28

worked in journalism, j television.

11:31

I couldn't use a plastic bag because that's too

11:33

much creakily noise. A

11:36

box doesn't make any sense because it's

11:38

going to get wet and fall apart. Kyler

11:42

Gally used the condom with a reservoir.

11:45

Oh oh wow, she

11:47

rolled that condom down that long,

11:50

big black microphone. Yes you

11:52

did not say the long, big black microphone,

11:54

big black

11:57

microphone, that micro

12:00

that right

12:02

up to a mouth and kept reporting, Yo,

12:06

you know what. You know what, man,

12:09

o, some awesome real ship. That's actually

12:11

the smartest thing that you could possibly do in

12:13

that situation. Because the condom

12:15

won't stop the sound from coming through. Plus

12:18

hopefully it wasn't lubricated, she wouldn't

12:20

have any cook on her hands. But you know, at the

12:22

end of the day, it protects the microphone.

12:25

Where did she learn this? Where did

12:27

she learn to protect her microphone?

12:30

Like this way? That's really

12:32

smart. What was interesting

12:34

though, is that a lot of people were kind of

12:36

like teasing Earn on it and like teasing NBC,

12:38

but like there's no other real tech which you know,

12:40

some finding needing to fulfill it. Why isn't there a

12:42

waterproof microphone cover that has

12:45

been invented at this point? Because these microphones

12:47

cost hundreds of dollars and usually

12:50

most local news outfits there is no backup.

12:53

So you know what, man, it sounds

12:55

to me like you got a business venture here, Roy that you're missing

12:58

out on. Bro. You know what I'm saying? The would

13:00

microphone condom you make a killer? Jacquelin's

13:03

use microphone time, we

13:06

make a killing. It's the best thing to use

13:09

in that situation is actually a really true. Well,

13:11

it sound like we got out of the side hustle

13:13

real quick. We need them make that's

13:15

a little little condom, get

13:19

paid, bro. I'm trying to tell you here's

13:21

the bigger question. Third, she

13:24

was reporting from very dangerous

13:26

areas evacuation

13:28

areas during Hurricane Ian, which

13:30

means no stores was open. Is

13:33

that part of your standard reported

13:36

outfit does have a draghe

13:39

little makeup? Get your makeup bag.

13:41

It's the same ship to correspondents, care you have a second

13:43

suit in case of ship happened to the first suit? And

13:45

then also condo because somebody might woma

13:48

just happen to have a lubricated mint condom

13:50

with you. I understand, never

13:53

know when you have to have a three pack? Was

13:55

it a twelve? How did you pack this? Have

13:58

questions for UK I do it? I know we can't

14:01

get to him right now, we don't have enough time. But nonetheless,

14:04

for helping I

14:07

don't I don't know which brand now that would be is

14:12

a magnum that is not for

14:17

doing what ever needed

14:19

to be done during a live hit to

14:21

keep the technology rolling so that people

14:23

could get the information and get

14:26

themselves to safety, even if it

14:28

meant holding a big black microphone

14:31

dot condom rode all

14:33

the way down that chaft. Oh

14:35

my goodness, gracious congratulations

14:38

to you, Kyla Gaylor. Most

14:42

14:44

16:12

16:18

as Jet. Hello, Dalen, Dalen

16:21

Golf, welcome back to the job fair. I'm

16:23

16:26

Okay, I'm pretty sure you're

16:29

16:32

third time. I know we

16:34

16:39

goddamn nagy page word dr every guest,

16:41

and we too lazy

16:43

to search for the ship. Dalen, What made

16:46

you take this on? And

16:48

you seem to be doing just fine at Wayne

16:50

stopped growing that brand

16:52

and making the pivot. What made

16:54

you take over Jet Magazine? Yeah?

16:57

Why you? Why you go from black Ass Food

17:00

the black ass magazine?

17:08

You were trying to get people to read

17:10

a magazine in the era where

17:13

a lot of the stuff that is in a magazine Jet

17:15

Jet Magazine for the young uns. That

17:17

was black Twitter in a pamphlet every

17:20

week, every single it was the excellence

17:23

about us. It was all of the TVs

17:25

and movies. There was a little bit of gossip,

17:27

you know, it'd he'd be uppity black gossip like

17:29

you know, did Bobby cheat on Whitness?

17:31

You know, ship like that, But that and

17:34

it was also it was also really black because it was

17:36

also a week late, normally a week

17:38

to two weeks later. It was very black.

17:40

That was was persistent, consistently

17:44

late because the January thirteenth issue,

17:46

like it's the thirtieth bro January,

17:58

Happy Black, valentized that and mag it's

18:00

March four, Thank

18:05

you

18:09

No. But to j G's question, though, what

18:11

what made you take on the challenge of trying

18:14

to rejuvenate and

18:16

because I can't say bring back the Jet

18:18

officially go out of print and go digital or did

18:20

it go out of print altogether, Well,

18:23

went out of print, went digital

18:25

and then went bankrupt. So absolutely

18:28

it's to bring it back situation. And

18:31

part of what you're talking about is

18:33

one of the reasons why I

18:35

felt the need to take on this particular challenge.

18:38

Now, if you really look at my career, I've

18:41

been multicultural marketing

18:43

most of my career. When I met you down

18:45

at Essence, I was handling multicultural

18:48

marketing for a brand like uh

18:50

Stay farm To, whereas they

18:52

were looking at how to be able to tap into

18:54

black audiences, how to be able to talk

18:56

to them in a very authentic way, and how to be

18:58

able to tap into the paces and spaces

19:01

where that audience live. You

19:03

haven't done that my entire life. Say

19:05

well, now you have ended the black Jake from

19:07

State farm. I didn't. I did not invent black

19:09

Jake, but I worked for the agency that

19:12

actually did that. But as I

19:14

always told people, I was my

19:17

My job for years was Anthony

19:20

Anderson's character on Blackish. That's

19:22

literally what I did. I explained

19:25

black culture to white owned

19:27

brands and white audiences and white

19:29

leadership and being able to say, no, this

19:31

is where you need to be, this is what's up and coming,

19:33

this is what's popping. Black culture is

19:36

pop culture before it's

19:38

pop culture, and usually by the time it becomes

19:41

pop culture, we over that ship. We're

19:43

doing on the suthing else. So, if you

19:45

are a brand that's able to tap into

19:47

black culture early and often

19:50

you get the credit and get the ride with it, which

19:52

is exactly what happened. From a Wingstop perspective,

19:54

we were Wingstop is not a black owned company.

19:57

Now Ross owns a considerable amount. We

19:59

have a lot of you know, well they

20:01

have a lot of um they

20:03

call them brand partners, but franchisees that are

20:05

black. But the reality of it is,

20:07

most of the people pulling the strings at the very

20:10

very top don't look like us. So

20:12

if you're a brand that is able to capture

20:14

it earlier and often, you're gonna be able

20:16

to ride that wave and you're gonna be that get

20:18

that credit before it goes to being

20:21

pop culture. You'll get the cool factor.

20:23

You'll get the kids on social media

20:25

like, oh nah, I funk with wing Stop,

20:27

or you know, I like Nike, or I like these

20:30

brands that you know, even like a Supreme,

20:33

you like, oh I like Supreme. Even reality

20:35

of it is, Supreme is very wide owned. But you're

20:37

tapping into black culture and you get

20:39

the credibility that comes from Wendy's

20:42

is absolutely good by the way they talk about it

20:44

on social and so there's

20:46

a connection honestly with Wendy's and Jet,

20:49

and I'll kind of go through that and kind of

20:51

tell you how I came to be

20:54

position. Hold up, yeah, Dylan, are you are you trying

20:56

to tell me that that I might be popping to surprise?

20:58

But the jaw of the jaw the jet

21:01

by the person who does Wendy

21:03

social media on Twitter because I always thought

21:06

that she was black, understanding, I just

21:08

thought it was a face. Because that that

21:10

that that Wendy's Twitter is off the chain

21:13

and I can see you doing that. Did you all? Did

21:15

you all going by that white girl until her she's Tina

21:17

Marie? Absolutely didn't. But

21:19

I do know who it is over there, and it's

21:22

not a girl, But yes, I do know

21:24

because my only person that want

21:26

to see and my only person want to see, like the full

21:28

body of Wendy from Wendy's did just see

21:30

what perfect?

21:34

This is what happens? Well, lord, I'm a perfect.

21:36

This is what happens when Roy goes

21:39

to the strip club and why

21:44

goes back to that. I want to

21:46

see the full body got this voice stolen

21:48

about Winch, she got cursed out there. Back

21:51

to answer your specific question, the reason

21:53

I took this role is I've been explaining

21:56

black culture the white people in the white brands for

21:58

a long time. Why not take all that

22:00

experience that I've been able to garner all over

22:02

these years. To be able to do that for

22:05

an iconic brand like this

22:07

was this was personal for me. This

22:10

was I'm developing this probe

22:12

called my Jet Story, my personal

22:14

Jet story, because everybody has a connection

22:16

to the brand, especially from a black experience. Mine

22:19

started at when I was eight years old, going

22:21

to park with barbershop in Kansas City, Kansas

22:24

on Sister Friday,

22:26

needing to get a haircut, or that Saturday

22:28

morning, needing to get a haircut. And there's this stack

22:31

of Jet magazines just sitting there

22:33

and you just looking through every one of them, and

22:35

you're seeing what's going on in Black America.

22:38

And this is from a kid from Kansas City, Kansas.

22:40

Like I'm from Kansas so

22:42

I can be able to see what's going on across

22:45

the nation, like what's popping in

22:47

d C, in Little Rock,

22:50

in you know, California,

22:52

in New York. Like that opened me up

22:54

to that entire world. So I had to go back

22:56

to albums on the back so you knew which

22:58

albums. Even check out sound

23:01

Scam movie box Office. The TV

23:03

ratings of black shows, it was

23:06

a black shot. They showed you which black people

23:08

was gonna be on the show that particular

23:10

week. So looking at that and understanding

23:13

that week actually the week before, it

23:17

might be a little like, but they're gonna come on again, They're gonna

23:19

come on Theyna, come home, They're gonna be bad.

23:21

We as a culture, we support

23:24

our own and that was one of the things

23:26

whereas from a historic standpoint,

23:28

we always kind of rallied

23:30

around, we circle the wagons, like now this

23:32

this is one of us. So we're gonna

23:35

give you all the benefits of the doubt because

23:37

from a white culture, they don't give you benefit

23:39

of the doubt. You are the doubt initially.

23:42

So that's where from a black owned

23:44

media standpoint, where there's that need

23:46

to be able to have this this

23:48

platform, to be able to tell to

23:51

tell the stories for us, by us and

23:53

all about us. Love it or hate it,

23:55

it's still us and we need to be able to own

23:58

and and honor those stories. So that's

24:00

one of the reasons why I was like man when I got

24:02

the call from the Bridgeman family, who I

24:04

talked about Wendy's. The Bridgeman family

24:06

owned evidence Jet. They bought it out of bankruptcy,

24:09

and they bought it because they owned

24:12

roughly four d these locations

24:14

at one point in time and then ended

24:16

up selling some of them and bought

24:18

the Co Cola bottling plant in Kansas

24:21

City and the one in the country of Canada. So

24:23

they have amassed a

24:25

substantial amount of black wealth. And

24:29

then they said, you know what, We're gonna own our

24:31

own things. And you know that's

24:33

kind of how you know, that opportunity

24:35

presented itself. So when they called and was like, Dylan,

24:38

what would you do if we gave you the keys to Jet?

24:41

I was like, wait a minute, Like this

24:44

man, okay, this you know. I

24:46

had to take a step back and set my cup

24:48

down. Um. But in

24:50

doing that, it's like, no, I gotta do this for

24:52

myself to be able to challenge myself,

24:54

but also doing it. I hate to overuse

24:57

it, but damn it, it's the truth. I was doing this ship

24:59

for the cold and I know that I

25:01

can be able to take the skills that I have in

25:03

order to bring it back to its prominence.

25:05

Because honestly, Jet as

25:07

a brand It's iconic

25:10

no matter what. When I rock a shirt like this and

25:12

I'm walking through the airport, it's

25:14

still okay. I like

25:16

it. I like it, I like it. I actually love

25:18

it. Jet Magazine is a vintage

25:21

brand. It's an iconic brand

25:24

absolutely. So I'm looking at those

25:26

little nuances and like, Okay, how

25:29

can I be able to flip it, extract the

25:31

value do some cool things. Damn if I made

25:33

Wingstop cool, I think I can't make

25:35

Jet back cool, Like

25:38

let's just be for real here. So that's kind of where

25:40

I looked at it as the opportunity

25:42

to be able to do that. You're the one that told Rick Ross

25:44

the show is ted is and get the numbers up at Winston.

25:49

Nobody controls Ross, nobody

25:51

controls Bross. But if you notice,

25:54

if you watch that Versus battles

25:57

that was on where he took his shirt off and

25:59

you saw all the Wingstop branding that

26:02

wasn't supposed to happen, that was me. I literally

26:04

say food truck to the

26:07

studio and I made them feed

26:09

everybody in the entire studio. I paid

26:11

zero dollars and zero sense to be on that Versus

26:14

Battle, but I literally fed

26:16

everybody in the whole station. So when

26:18

my team went up there and put those bags

26:20

there and everything else, it was like, you

26:22

good because we fall over here, we're straight.

26:25

And then Ross took his shirt off, and

26:27

then you know, the rest is history. After

26:29

the break, we're gonna get into it with a little

26:31

bit more of Dalen Golf. We need to talk about

26:33

the world of being a black ad exact at

26:35

white companies and what that world was like and

26:38

there was any little scamming and shadiness

26:40

going on in that world. But first we

26:42

gotta let the home in the right Owa k right for short,

26:45

take this show off the rails, like you always do with

26:47

a little segment we called breaking the iis the

26:49

job there. We shall return job

26:59

there. We got the homie

27:01

Dayling Golf from Jet Magazine still

27:03

standing Viber get into a little bit with him

27:05

just about the scams of being an

27:07

ad executive. Was

27:10

that like being a black man in a white space trying

27:12

to tell white people how to sell stuff to black people.

27:15

You know, mistakes have been

27:17

made, sounds frustrating. Sure,

27:20

it's an interesting world. But before we do that, it's

27:23

trying to do We always do this part of the show

27:26

if you're new to the program, this is where we

27:28

slow it down for a minute and give you some topics

27:30

to help you break the ice with co workers. You can't

27:32

stand co workers at the

27:34

opposite race. That one co worker,

27:36

you know, the one and

27:40

one motherfucker who bart the

27:42

staple of three years ago and you're still still

27:46

you know one co worker

27:49

man at one

27:51

co I remember working the dish room, you

27:54

know, at that Health South Rehab Hospital

27:56

in Birmingham on Lake Shore, and every now and then

27:58

I got paired in a dish him as a

28:00

sixteen year old four

28:03

year old man. And

28:06

I don't know if you ever seen a sixteen year old and at

28:08

four year old man working together. But

28:11

she ain't got a lot of ship to talk about. That's

28:15

why we do this segment so you can have at least

28:17

one little thing to take to your job to

28:19

get these born motherfucker's up off you to

28:23

help us do that. As a man who was undefeated

29:22

A beacon of light has shown

29:24

through in the email Doku

29:28

Nia Long Boston Celtics cheating

29:30

scandal email

29:35

man Celtics suspended for

29:37

a year for inappropriate,

29:40

consensual but not illegal per

29:43

Jacklin relationship. So what's

29:45

the ray of hope? What's the good news over there? In

29:47

Boston? Marlon Waynes was recently

29:50

interviewed and asked

29:55

about things going on. He had

29:57

a bit of advice for his old free and

29:59

Nia Long shout out

30:01

to Marlon Wayne's solid blue, soliditude

30:03

fairy Fairy and and his advice

30:07

was that he he would

30:09

ask her if she was happy before

30:11

this scandal broke, and if so, she

30:14

shouldn't throw away the man of

30:16

her dreams because he got some pussy want

30:18

them.

30:22

And he stood. He said this is

30:24

He said that this is advice he would give to

30:26

his daughter, He would give this

30:28

advice to his sisters, any

30:30

woman. He knows if that man

30:33

was everything that

30:35

you ever hoped for in relationship and you

30:38

were happy, don't throw that

30:40

away

30:41

for being publicly

30:44

embarrassed. And he

30:47

talked about how you know your

30:49

marriage and things like that. It's a true partnership

30:52

and people aren't perfect. And if you're gonna,

30:54

if you find that thing that makes

30:56

you want to live for another day

30:58

and within a person, you gotta

31:01

deal with everything else that comes along with it.

31:04

I understand. First

31:08

off, there's a gooding to bring up at the job you

31:11

bringers over with your white co works, to do

31:13

you forgive because see there's cheating and

31:15

then there's motherfucker you embarrassed us.

31:19

You know what I'm saying. Like, so

31:22

there's a difference in

31:24

the layers of that. But you know, let's

31:26

let's toss it over to j G. You are women's

31:36

because what say you to forgiven

31:39

a man? Is there a difference in cheating

31:41

versus motherfucker you embarrassed

31:44

us or as cheating cheat. In

31:46

the sense of forgiveness, I

31:48

thank you forgive regardless. However,

31:52

that doesn't mean you have to stay with someone.

31:54

We don't know the details there. They

31:56

have a kid together, so they're always

31:59

going to be in each others lives and they're

32:01

probably going to sleep together again just

32:03

because they're familiar with each other. It has

32:06

you get you wanted two more outer system.

32:08

You get one of them catch

32:10

each other slipping fox like the way out

32:12

the door. But however,

32:15

I don't see a way that because

32:20

the problem is that if she takes him back, then

32:22

she still faces the public judgment from other

32:24

black women who are gonna go, why are you settling?

32:26

And then because we all live in this era where

32:29

your relationship, your behavior within your relationship

32:32

is judge if your relationship is on Front Street,

32:34

and their relationship, as far as I could tell,

32:36

they were like out there like Steph

32:39

Curry or Lebron and Savannah

32:41

and like always making public appearances. Nobody

32:44

knew they were together until he got this because

32:46

she was courtside at the NBA fund alone.

32:49

She suck the coach. She

32:51

has a baby with the coach had been to get to you alone

32:54

that the coat. Yeah, and they like

32:57

fifteen sixteen years. Actually, I

33:00

don't I

33:02

understand what brother Marlon Lands are saying. I

33:04

do think the forgiveness is important.

33:09

Like when we talked and we talked about this the week before,

33:11

you know, when we talk about love triangle. So if we're

33:13

talking about cheating, getting

33:16

cheated on, or being the side, dude,

33:18

I've lived at all three corners of

33:21

that of that ordeal

33:24

in my life. J

33:26

G. I have lived a life. My twenties were

33:29

fucking wild. Oh

33:33

my gosh. I was on probation,

33:35

so I couldn't do a lot of drinking and drugg What

33:38

do you think? What do you think the mischief went

33:42

straight to the woman

33:46

was with another man? Comes

33:50

grandma. I've done that before us. Shock

33:54

the grandma. Wait a minute, you're

33:57

telling me, Wait

33:59

just one second there. Now, I've never

34:01

heard I've all heard this in stories. You're

34:04

telling me you actually

34:07

slept with the woman who

34:10

had a man. People actually do

34:12

that. I saw him

34:14

that morning. I was at the house that night. You

34:18

saw him that morning? Yeah, I

34:20

work together. Remember

34:22

I told you. I told her. No,

34:26

I've put it in the Girl Western

34:28

Hills Mall, Tell

34:32

It, Tell It. At

34:36

the time, I was doing morning radio. This is like

34:38

O two oh three, and

34:40

my prank calls is jumping and

34:42

we did a live hit from this shoe

34:44

store at the black was at the Black Mall. This is

34:46

an important detail. It was at the black

34:48

mall in Birmingham called Western Hills Mall. And

34:51

the dude that worked at the shoe store came.

34:54

You know now that I said the mall, it don't

34:56

matter because all

34:58

right this and he

35:04

came over and he goes, a man, I'm

35:07

down bad with my girl. Can you call my girl

35:09

and print caller for me and chill up? I

35:11

go like and he like, he comes over

35:14

a man and he's like for real sad, and this mother's

35:17

like he tatted up like tear drops

35:20

like a for real about that life

35:22

ass dude like sevenfold

35:25

Gangster Disciples man

35:28

called my girl and chilled

35:31

my girl for me. All

35:34

right, cool, I pull out my phone

35:36

and put the number and I call this girl or I print

35:38

caller. It's funny. He's happy. He gets

35:40

on the phone. I little you or whatever we can

35:42

do to baby a little at you And

35:44

she said, yeah, let's work it out. So that

35:47

was that ten

35:50

o'clock that night, I get a text

35:59

about ten any boy I was over Because

36:09

I was. I was still in my mama's apartment

36:11

and Avenue any time I had a chance to

36:13

have a road game and sleep on a full bed

36:16

because I was still sleeping on the twin bed and them

36:19

days, I was like, against

36:21

jack Wine, I have lived. Wow,

36:25

shouldn't have done it. Though she gave me cramps

36:32

about that.

36:36

She was a grown woman fucking the nigger who worked

36:38

at the foot like I believe she had craps. Agreed.

36:47

Men might lie by live thing, but no man alive

36:50

lies about getting grabs. So about

36:53

I will say, I will say,

36:55

yeah, forgive. I was just gonna say, always

36:58

forgive, no matter what the city wishing

37:00

is. That doesn't mean you have to have that person back in your

37:02

life. But if you do decide to take that

37:04

person back in your life, don't

37:06

bring that stuff up anymore because it will

37:09

kill your relationship.

37:11

Let's flip it up on

37:13

the on the other side of the scales, no pun

37:16

intended. We've got

37:18

a very vicious

37:20

scoundrel brewing in the world

37:22

of white sports. And

37:24

that is two fishermen were

37:26

recently called cheating during

37:29

the fishing tournament and are staring

37:31

down the battle of a suspension and

37:34

felony themth charges because

37:41

because they weigh the fish, the way

37:43

you win is breaking the heaviest catch. And

37:46

so they got caught stuffing

37:49

their fish with basically

37:52

a little ball bearings like that's what the BB

37:54

and stuff

37:57

leadball version and fish

38:01

filets from other fish they

38:03

sell fish for. They

38:11

put fish in the fish off. You opened

38:13

up my posies look like fishing out of me. It's

38:15

good. The

38:21

only thing I compared it to is like

38:24

as a black child growing up, when

38:26

somebody claimed that their jacket was real

38:29

and then they go take it off and then they expose

38:31

it that you wear a bootleg version kind

38:34

of clothes. Everybody made

38:37

a circle around there like oh, and

38:39

they're pulling the lead balls out of that,

38:42

Like what's the penalty for that

38:44

other than what you get kicked out the lead Like that's

38:46

I guess that's qualified

38:49

and that they're used to. They're they're a great

38:51

fishing duo too. So now all

38:53

of the previous winds are

38:55

being called in the question, But like I said, they're facing

38:58

steff and the thepth charges for essentially

39:00

stilling the prize for the fish.

39:04

There's a couple of thousand dollars. Man, they

39:07

were they were looking at it fishing.

39:09

It's like, it's like golfing when

39:12

you win some money, even if you lose,

39:14

and they are like, you don't even have to come in first

39:16

place to get like to hit a lick. Yeah,

39:18

like you come in last, lazy and get like five, because

39:21

that's how golf works. Like the top golfers

39:23

are winning millions of dollars a year

39:25

and hundreds of thousand dollars in one tournament,

39:28

but you come in thirty fifth and still get twenty

39:30

seven thousand. Well,

39:33

his mama named in Mrotto. We call him

39:35

Rod for short the podcast his

39:37

uncle Rod's Story corner and hit

39:40

him up on the internet at Rod for Shortness

39:43

right there in the episode description Rod, as

39:45

always, we thank you. You welcome to hang around

39:47

a little bit longer. We gotta run it back with DAYLN

39:50

Golf real quick. Yeah, absolutely, I

39:52

got some questions. Thank

39:55

you as always for that Rod scam of a week time.

39:57

We welcome back to the program. President

39:59

of magazine formally of

40:02

Wingstop International,

40:05

Brother DALN Golf quick quick

40:07

question before before we get into

40:09

what you're doing with Jet for the future,

40:11

quick question about your old job introducing black

40:14

people to white brands and

40:16

in being the Nick groy at liaison for people

40:19

like that,

40:28

did you ever run into somebody

40:31

like from a brand who was so out

40:33

of touch with black people

40:35

that they were very casually racist, Like,

40:38

did anybody ever set you down in the meeting to go listen,

40:41

man, the darkies aren't buying our toilet paper?

40:43

How do we fix that?

40:48

These questions weren't in the prep doctor, I

40:52

will say this, No, that

40:54

didn't never happen. But

40:56

but the nuance part I did have

40:59

a rand that

41:02

uh put together a program

41:05

and the title of the program was called

41:07

run Gigga run like gigabytes

41:09

like cell phone down.

41:15

Run All press is good

41:17

pressure right, And I in turn

41:20

founded and came to

41:22

me and was like, uh,

41:25

this was the final deck presentation

41:27

and honestly it was a very very

41:30

I can't I'm not gonna say the name, and

41:33

luckily they changed the name

41:35

of some stuff that they were doing. Um

41:37

that you can't do it. But it was a major,

41:39

major, major company

41:42

top five. Did this come from

41:44

an intern? Yes? Was that an

41:46

early draft.

41:49

It was a final deck. They were going to present

41:51

this too presentation.

42:00

I still have the presentation,

42:03

forward it to myself in my

42:05

personal no

42:07

presentation, and the big idea.

42:10

It was three ideas. This

42:12

was the big idea that they was gonna put

42:14

all the money into. And it was called

42:16

Run, Gigga Run. Can you

42:18

forward? That's a rous job fair at gmail

42:21

dot com? Yeah? Can

42:23

we can we present this day that

42:26

I will not do that. I

42:29

want to win a little microphones and

42:31

and and do the whole thing. You

42:33

have some please digg

42:36

it, please, I get a hundred

42:38

subscriptions to the new jet of you forward

42:40

that to us. We're with that being

42:43

said, being the being the world

42:45

whisper. I had to be able to say,

42:47

oh no, no, no, no, no, this can't go. And

42:49

I had to say it to him to the VP who

42:52

still didn't get it. He's like, no, it's like run

42:54

for us run. I was like no, no, no, no,

42:56

no no no. There

42:58

are people like that, move it right, which

43:05

I do love that movie. That's a good movie. But he's

43:07

like no, it's like but

43:09

literally that was the final

43:11

presentation and the name of the program

43:14

that they were going to do and they were proud of it, and

43:16

I had to be like, nad

43:18

this this right here, you need to burn this.

43:21

This absolutely did not happen.

43:24

But it absolutely did happen. So

43:26

yes, before we end on the ways that people

43:28

can support JET and everything that you're doing,

43:30

now, I have a more serious question just about

43:33

the relationship and the responsibility

43:35

of black media companies to black journalists

43:38

and black freelancers. So as

43:40

the president of JET, and I

43:42

don't think JET was caught up in this bullshit

43:45

from a couple of years ago. That's still

43:47

kind of going on for some freelancers,

43:50

but there were, or there

43:52

are a lot of black freelance

43:54

journalists and writers across the whole

43:56

gamut of journalism who were never

43:59

paid, or they got short change,

44:01

or it took sixty days to get your money

44:03

for an article you wrote forty days

44:06

ago. How does JET,

44:08

how do you plan as a company. And

44:10

I don't know if this is your area of expertise

44:12

or if you hire somebody for it, but how do

44:15

you plan to rebuild the trust? Because

44:17

for all the legacy that JET is, at the end

44:20

of the day, you got to be providing good information

44:22

and point in journalism to the people the market

44:24

is much more competitive now for eyeballs

44:27

on black stuff. So how

44:30

do you all what is your approach or have you all

44:32

even gotten to that point yet as an organization

44:34

on how you get good black journalists

44:36

to come back in the fold and trust

44:39

that they'll get their money and they'll

44:41

get it on time. Well, first

44:43

and foremost we're not at that

44:45

level just yet. The way I'm positioning

44:48

JET from an initial standpoint,

44:50

I mean you brought it up previously, or

44:53

at least a point to it. Jet was

44:55

social media. Jet was black Twitter

44:57

before social media was ever invented. And

45:00

my goal and if you think about black Twitter,

45:02

if you ain't check your Twitter in two weeks, in

45:05

two weeks, what

45:07

was happening two weeks ago? But think about

45:09

a Jet magazine, if you go back to it,

45:12

it was really democratized journalism.

45:14

Meaning the Jet beauty of the

45:16

week was a girl from Virginia.

45:18

Is third kind of reas out or just you

45:21

know somebody a college student. That part of it

45:23

you had if you've got married,

45:25

cougars in there too. Cougar, I

45:28

mean it happened, but if you got married, you

45:30

submitted your photos and they show

45:32

your photos of when you got married. It

45:35

talked about in there people who got a promotion.

45:37

If you were an executive at GM and

45:40

Black and you got promoted to senior vice

45:42

president, that got written in it. So all

45:44

these things was

45:46

in a Jet magazine. When people die,

45:49

you had that in there. The Vampire and Brooklyn

45:52

cover, I still got that one that you still

45:54

got so and you look at it

45:56

was really community focused, democratized

45:58

journalism. You got content from

46:01

everywhere, which is honestly what social

46:03

media is. So the way I'm positioning

46:05

Jet is kind of pulling some of those

46:07

things back in at least from an initial standpoint,

46:10

to be able to regain that trust, to

46:12

be able to be that I've been calling

46:15

and playing with this this term called fueled

46:17

by Jet. We don't want to be the beginning.

46:19

We don't want to be the end. We just want to be the fuel. We

46:21

want to get you from point A to point B. We want

46:23

to give you the amplification, we want

46:25

to give you the opportunity, we want to give you

46:27

that stamp of approval. Because reality

46:30

is, if you are on the cover a Jet

46:32

or you were in Jet, you were somebody.

46:35

I had a conversation with Yasin

46:37

Bay most deaf. He talked about

46:39

how his grandparents were

46:41

still even when he was a rapper, had album

46:43

and stuff, his grandparents were still like, yo, you

46:46

might need to go get you a job at UPS. So

46:48

you need a job at the post office. They're paying good, they

46:50

got good benefits. But when he

46:53

was on a Jet cover, his grandparents

46:55

was like, you're good. You

46:57

made it. Your officials that overpro

47:00

you made it on Jet. Oh, you're good.

47:03

Like I ain't gonna ask you and bother you no more

47:05

because my boy was on the cover of Jet. So

47:08

that part of it of using that brand equity

47:10

and that stamp of approval, it's kind of what

47:12

we're looking at doing, at least from an initial

47:14

standpoint. So as we talked about

47:17

what we're trying to do, at least from an initial standpoint,

47:19

I encourage everyone to go to jetmag

47:22

dot com, follow us on social or go to jetmag

47:24

dot com because I'm gonna give everybody

47:26

an opportunity to get that stamp of approval.

47:29

Because you can be able to go to the website, upload

47:31

your image and now you can be

47:33

on the cover of Jet and now you

47:36

can share. You can tell us your Jet story.

47:38

So you know, my Jet story was Kenns

47:40

City, Kansas Parkwood Roy, your

47:42

Jet story is your father's eulogy

47:45

was in Jet. But you can be on the cover.

47:47

You can be able to kind of share that because we want to hear

47:49

that part of it. So it'll be and

47:52

you know, we'll re share it using

47:54

the hashtag my Jet story. So that's kind of

47:56

what we're doing from an initial standpoint, Dalen,

47:58

we talked about Jet celebrating

48:01

the entertainment side of things, but

48:03

how will Jet honor the

48:05

legacy, the past, the older

48:07

version of the magazine and

48:10

also still address social

48:12

issues in the black community. I

48:14

use this analogy. Jet was to Emit

48:17

Till what Twitter was to George

48:19

Floyd. It literally

48:21

started the civil rights movement.

48:25

I think MLK was like twenty six. He

48:27

saw that Jet magazine. He's like, you know

48:29

what, I need to be able to do something. Mega Evers

48:32

saw that Jet magazine. The world saw that

48:34

magazine. So when the world saw it,

48:37

they felt they had to do something about it.

48:39

And that was that spark. In the same exact

48:41

way that when people saw George

48:43

Floyd on that ground, it was

48:46

like, we gotta do something about this. We

48:48

need to start this movement. So we understand

48:50

our positioning and our value,

48:52

especially from a black community standpoint, and

48:54

we're just figuring out the ways to be able to unlock

48:56

that. And then eventually, as we're

48:59

kind of building that credit ability back, as

49:01

we look at being able to tap into journalists

49:03

and get content out and being able to do that part

49:06

of it, we'll figure out the ways to make it makes

49:08

sense. Well, we're proud of the work that you're doing over

49:10

there, Jet Magazine. Let us know, um

49:12

when we can start nominating Beauties of the Week.

49:15

Whenever y'all get that back up and tack the I

49:18

will not I'll say

49:20

this last point about Beauty of the Week.

49:22

Jet. Beauty of the Week is like

49:25

the Ignition remixed by R. Kelly, phenomenal

49:29

when it was out. But you play that right

49:32

now in this particular climate and

49:34

you might get some I

49:37

don't know, I don't know what

49:39

that is. So we're figuring out ways

49:42

to be able to bring it back to be able

49:44

to be palatable for our audience,

49:47

but also do it in a way that's respectful

49:49

the Jet all the fans account

49:52

of the week, only

49:54

fans account of the wing. Oh no, that's

49:58

a that's acceptable. That's

50:00

not gonna happen. I will say we

50:02

are working on a documentary

50:05

with Lamont mc lemore talking about

50:08

the impact of it from a historic standpoint,

50:10

but we're figuring out ways to be able to bring

50:12

it back to life but also do it in a way that's

50:14

respectful. And let's understand that the beauty

50:17

standards, everything is out there.

50:19

We have to be able to do it. This is why

50:22

they pay me as always.

50:24

Brother, we love you. We gotta get you back on because we need

50:26

to find out what happened in wing Stole because yeah's

50:28

probably got fired. I did not get fired,

50:31

but my last day was was epic.

50:36

You're coming back that you're coming back for last You

50:38

got to do it last day. Okay,

50:40

and let us get a copy of that email. I'll

50:45

write for a year for JAT for free if you

50:47

send me that email. I'm

50:49

not sending you know we're still

50:53

is real quick No no, no, no, no, don't tell

50:55

us, don't tell us. Look, man, don't lose your job. You to

50:58

sign NDA's brother Dalen gulf Prey it

51:00

in the Jet magazine. We appreciate everything

51:02

you're doing the move culture forward. Thank

51:04

you for coming on the job. Don't say nothing else,

51:06

just shut after

51:09

the break more of the job fit would

51:11

be right back trying to save your job. Job

51:21

fair, we are bringing at home. Third,

51:24

did you ever sell sodas and stadiums

51:26

where you're a stadium vendor? Get your hot dogs

51:29

here, get your fresh go peanuts?

51:32

Yeah right, peanuts. Now,

51:36

those kind of jobs need a certain level of

51:38

coordination that I just did not have at

51:41

that age. I would have been on Sports

51:43

Center every week for falling down

51:45

flights of sets with soda and beer tumbling

51:47

over my head, like no question about

51:49

it. I did it for two football

51:51

seasons Alabama ninety two,

51:53

the championship years, shout out Jeans, Stalin's,

51:56

Jay Barker and all the Gang and

51:59

nine three as well. I

52:02

did it for I was a vendor

52:05

in those days. Alabama

52:07

would play when they were renovating Bryant Denny

52:09

Stadium in the early nineties to increase seat capacity,

52:12

Alabama would play their major opponents

52:14

in Birmingham because that stadium had

52:16

more seats, So they

52:19

would split their home schedule. So you know, you catch

52:21

three four games and I saw good fucking

52:23

football. Peak. Steve Spurrier,

52:26

Pete Peyton, manning front

52:28

row seat to that ship. That

52:31

job, I don't see that. I didn't

52:33

need it. That's why I only did it for two seasons. I'll

52:36

keep this hot ship two

52:40

seasons applied, you work in the entire season.

52:43

I'm with j G. I just couldn't see you

52:46

doing that, like going up and down the stairs. I

52:49

sold Pepsi's and I

52:51

had the little badge for one fifty. And

52:54

the way the way the scam worked at Legion

52:56

Field was some of the vendors

52:59

would have buttons that

53:01

say to fifty. They would make these buttons like

53:03

Kinko's and FedEx or whatever Michael's,

53:06

and then they will put them on once they

53:08

got Like in the tunnels, you have ushers

53:10

watching you, so they're checking

53:12

each each vendor to make sure you're

53:15

wearing the right price button on your

53:17

apron. Once you get up in the

53:19

stands, once you're going up in the bleachers, there's

53:21

no more super no one's watching

53:24

you. So you run a switch real

53:26

fast and then you go up and you've

53:28

got a tray of twenty soldas that you're selling

53:30

for a dollar extra. That's twenty extra dollars

53:33

on top of your tips. So

53:35

if you hustle. You can sell six seven

53:37

trays of sodas just

53:39

on the overages, you're damn near

53:42

at a hundred and fifty hundred sixty dollars

53:44

and they ain't even counting tipshet, So it's

53:46

a good lick if you But if you get caught, you get

53:48

banned from the stadium and all of

53:50

that ship. So with that aside, j G. Who

53:53

do we have on the phone? Okay,

53:56

we welcome John to the show. John

53:59

resides in New Hampshire with his

54:01

wife, four kids, and a

54:04

Birmingham born puppy.

54:07

John works as a special education

54:09

teacher and serves as a

54:11

returned Peace Corps

54:14

volunteer. Today he's gonna talk with

54:16

you Roy and tell your story about

54:19

a beer scam he ran back

54:21

in college. Welcome John, Hi,

54:24

how's it good with everybody? So? John,

54:26

first and foremost, congratulations

54:29

on everything that you have done

54:32

as a specialist teacher. We thank you, and I

54:34

mean sincerely, thank you so much

54:36

for being an educator. I

54:38

know that that is money

54:41

would be better. We ain't got no money. Who was still working

54:44

on sponsors? Count

54:47

the number of commercials between breaks? You know,

54:50

we ain't making no money as a still gron Um.

54:53

Tell us a little bit about the beer scams.

54:55

Now, I was a teenager when I worked the

54:57

stadium, so I wasn't allowed to sell alcohol.

55:00

Those were the big money. Those would have been whales.

55:02

There was was

55:04

beer, and anybody selling

55:06

food you were going to make a misty more money than

55:09

I was. Basically selling chasers for people who

55:11

were sneaking. Jim being stadium.

55:15

Wow, So where

55:17

where were you was this? Was this up in the Northeast

55:20

where you were selling beers? Yes, A certain

55:23

football team that will remain nameless. Uh,

55:26

about twenty years ago opened a new

55:28

stadium UM and

55:31

went on to win a lot Northeast. You

55:33

know, we went a lot of championships

55:36

in that time area. Any

55:39

names, but because I got you know, the

55:41

Northeastern minute men that did

55:44

a Northeastern minute min so

55:47

the first year. So they opened a brand

55:49

new stadium and the

55:51

first the first year that they had

55:53

their beer system, their their

55:56

whole vending system. UM. The

55:58

room where all the supplies would go in and out

56:00

of was run by like these

56:03

fraternities and sororities.

56:06

I guess the team would pay the sorority or

56:08

the or the fraternity, the like whatever.

56:11

The house. But these

56:13

kids wouldn't get to raise money

56:15

for their and so they

56:18

are which is what we were doing. It was our

56:20

baseball team that was selling the soda I

56:22

give you. So they're

56:24

sitting there keeping track of stuff, and these

56:27

they could not care less what's going on. They're

56:29

just like looking around, flirting with each other and

56:32

hungover and stuff like that. So

56:36

what I would do is you

56:39

take two cases

56:41

of beer out into this crowd and before

56:43

the game, you're selling two cases of beer,

56:45

take five minutes to sell, you just like opening

56:48

tops and just you can't even get

56:50

to the stands. People are just like on

56:52

it. And then so you go back in and

56:56

uh you go to check in with

56:58

the fraternity and sorority

57:00

people and uh you

57:03

have to pay for the stuff

57:05

you just sold. And they're like, oh yeah,

57:07

they said whatever the amount for one case of beer

57:09

is. They're like, oh yeah, give

57:12

me that. So I was like, okay.

57:15

It was like how many beers hang

57:18

on a second? So I can follow the math, so I can understand

57:21

this. How many beers in a wreck

57:23

were you're taking out? It's a case of

57:25

beer. It was just like a case of so twenty

57:27

four, So okay,

57:30

so twenty four and you're selling them for how

57:32

much At the time, it was like six

57:35

bucks a beer. Okay, So

57:38

then you're coming back and essentially paying

57:40

it's probably costing you what four bucks of beer

57:43

and you're making two bucks profit or something

57:45

like that. No, no, you gotta pay for the whole the

57:47

whole beer, and then you get a commission check later.

57:50

Um got got

57:53

you? Okay, okay, So it's like a hundred and fifty

57:55

bucks hundred forty bucks or something, so I

57:58

would sell to and pay for

58:00

one. Okay, hang on, let me follow this. So

58:03

you show up to the frat boy and go, hey,

58:05

frat boy, here's a hundred and fifty dollars.

58:07

I'd like twenty four beers please. No, no,

58:10

that's no. You

58:12

take you take the bear out, and then you pay for it when

58:14

you get that, correct with the money you just

58:16

made for everybody if you get if you walk

58:18

out with two cases of there they have no idea. Oh

58:23

so they're not keeping till they should be keeping. Yeah,

58:26

so you're going out, so they

58:29

should be keeping track. Like okay, so you're basically

58:31

going out double fists out with two cases. Okay,

58:33

So well to collect to because they're not paying

58:35

attention. You grab two cases

58:38

and get out the door with two cases, so

58:40

you're pocket so you're making one forty raw

58:43

profit every trip out. I

58:46

would walk out with like, I'm

58:51

okay with this, And you know why, I'm okay with why

58:55

because these stadiums fucking overcharge

58:57

you for concessions, and god damn

59:00

it. If anybody can get over God

59:02

bless him because the fans mentioned

59:08

fact. I don't even like that team, so I love

59:11

the fact that that's

59:13

the way I look at it. I support that in all

59:16

the ways possible. I like this. You're

59:20

talking seven. Hang on, let me get to calculated

59:22
