I'm behind on the podcast, i'm currently listening to the January episodes. But is you posting this video supposed to be a reference to Basa always talking about these female hosts on these entertainment news shows & talk shows being inappropriate with male celeb guests?

Robert F. Smith's first wife
Now that I got your attention, imma have to disagree regarding the Robert F. Smith thing with Morehouse, but not for the ignorant reasons people are using.
It is a great act. Do not get me wrong. $40 million is a grip of money, and it will set those kids up with an excellent start for their lives. Not having debt, especially for young black students, is tremendous and its an immense gift by him. I am not going to criticize the act of giving that money to those graduates.
What I will criticize is that this guy is worth $5.5 billion and knows that student loans are a problem, especially for black college students. What is he doing to help alleviate this problem structurally? Is he advocating for better student loan practices? Is he advocating for free college tuition for students? Smith knows it is a problem yet won't do anything to change things structurally. This is what the ultra wealthy do. The ultra-wealthy do not want to pay taxes. Look at the number: $40 million. There were under 400 students who will benefit from that gift. That means the average student loan debt was $100,000. This is a problem, and it is crippling millennials and generation Z. What is he doing to help change that systemically? The ultra-wealthy does these grandiose gifts that do not change anything to structurally changes things. That includes the Oprah, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and whoever else you want to mention. I say that because you have the Koch Brothers out there doing shyt to change things structurally with their money and influence politics. They are doing evil shyt, but they use their power, money, and influence. This act by Smith isn't that.
I am not asking Smith and other billionaires who know these problems to spend all their money to help society, but they need to pay their taxes and use their influence to structurally change things instead of doing grandiose gifts like this that make the news but do nothing to change the world.

100% agree about waiting one day for an athlete to put they hands on one of these TV media members.
John Wall took an L in the public eye when SAS ran his mouth and said John didn't want to see him after the Boston game. Of course John said that the nikka walked by him with his head down (which I believe), but the loudest one in the room usually wins out. Somebody gotta put one of these dudes in their place.
John Wick was tight as fukk, but I went in thinking it was a trilogy so I was tight when I didn't see the adjudicator getting fukked up by Halle. Fishbrown was hamming it up like usual. My man Wo Fat was a beast. Good to see my guys from the Raid movies get a check as henchmen.
I wished they said that this wasn't going to be the finale because no one of importance died and I walked out feeling empty from a story standpoint. Hopefully they give some backstory to the High Table in the next film. I assumed Keanu was doing some excellent acting when he ran because that shyt was hard to watch. I hope his knees aren't that cooked.
