How A Buffalo Transplant Builds A Charlotte Food Brand

Somebody stole the Buffalo Eats Philly sandwich, the cameras rolled, and that chaos somehow turns into one of the most useful restaurant growth conversations we’ve had. We link up with Mohammed “Buffalo Mo” Zaid, the operator and owner behind Buffalo Eats CLT, to talk about building a Charlotte, North Carolina food brand that people actually trust, not just try once. If you care about wings, cheesesteaks, hospitality, and real entrepreneurship, this one is packed.

Mo breaks down what makes Buffalo Eats different: char grilled wings finished over an open fire pit, a cheesesteak built with fresh ribeye and a longtime family house sauce recipe, and a service standard that stays consistent even when the line is slammed. We get into menu engineering and the numbers behind it, including his five to ten percent rule for cutting items, portion control for protecting profit, managing waste with a log, and why simplifying the kitchen matters when you’re scaling to a second location in Steel Creek.

Then we switch gears into the “Bounce Breakdown” with headlines that spark real debate, a truly unhinged “what would you do” get-back story, and Lex Rated’s “Triggered” segment on individualism vs collectivist culture, hustle culture, burnout, and why community care is missing from so many mental health conversations. We close with “Words of the Week” and “Pods and Bars” for anyone who likes the mix of deep talk and pure energy.

Yeah. So let's bring you in a no bars way asking three simple questions. Just three. You ready?

SPEAKER_01 2:42

Got it.

SPEAKER_14 2:42

Who you are? Where you from?

SPEAKER_13 2:45

What the fuck you do?

SPEAKER_01 2:49

Well, my name is Mohammed Zaid. I'm from Buffalo Eats. And uh I'm originally the operator and owner of Buffalo Eats. I got a partner. Um and we opened up a location here in Charlotte, North Carolina during COVID, and uh we're now expanding into a second location. And what do I do? Just like I said, I'm a restaurant owner and I'm an entrepreneur here in Charlotte, North Carolina.

SPEAKER_16 3:21

You from Buffalo, New York, right? You said that? Yes. Okay. See the hat is Buffalo Mo.

SPEAKER_01 3:25

I know that what did you know about Benny the Butcher? Oh Benny in the Guinea. We actually almost I grew up almost in the same area. They live a couple streets down from us. So we stayed on Goodyear Avenue, they stayed on Montana Avenue. Okay, so literally the street over. You were around a bunch of crackheads and stuff? Oh, yeah, a bunch of crackheads, honestly. Type shit, type shit. That's not a wrestling. That's not a big wrestling. Because I'm from Buffalo, but I probably can't name five players. Well, you say you can't name five players? I cannot name five players. On the Buffalo Bills? I cannot.

SPEAKER_11 4:00

But he a fan.

SPEAKER_01 4:05

Yeah, yeah. That's crazy. Not really some diehards. They're gonna kill you in the comments. They're gonna be like how you got a Buffalo hat on. Oh no, no.

SPEAKER_16 4:12

You know one player.

SPEAKER_01 4:14

We actually one player. One player. Oh, we know Josh Allen, of course. James Good. Uh so I actually visited Charlotte uh probably around 2020. I visited Charlotte and uh it was during COVID, so a lot of stuff did shut down. But uh while I was out here honestly, I just really didn't see no like New York style concepts, you know. Uh if there was, there wasn't that many. And uh so and I went to a few like sandwich spots and it just this sucked. So we were like, yo, uh, I'm not gonna lie, there's some opportunity here, especially for like a New York style or even like a Buffalo, New York style kind of concept where like you're just slinging sandwiches on like a fast-paced environment. You know, um fast service, good service at that. Service was trash for real. Uh and honestly, it's still trash till this day. Like there's a lot of corporate businesses here, so like the service don't really be up to par. See, like in smaller city cities, there's a lot of family-owned stuff, so like people are more passionate about what they do. And um of course, I feel like service plays a huge part uh in any kind of business that you run, and especially when it's uh you know, um hand-to-hand transactions, service is number one, especially with food.

SPEAKER_11 5:45

Yeah, I agree. 100%.

SPEAKER_14 5:46

Yeah, because I saw your um one of your videos when you was like genius, actually, when you went to different spots and seeing what they was offering. Yes, and they were like, Man, come down here, man. Niggas over there ain't doing nothing. We got that was great. I got in the bill, all over.

SPEAKER_05 6:05

Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_04 6:07

You got you got restaurant beef out here? Like you just be like, nah, nah, we do not.

SPEAKER_01 6:13

You know, like people ask me that all the time, and people be in the comments, like talking shit, uh, you know, and I don't really like it's all love, you know. I I go to other spots and you know, uh they be showing love, and they be uh it'd be really inspirational to see stuff like that because it don't really be like the internet shit just be like lame and it it's just its own thing. And then when you go to different places, like they they be showing love. I've never really had a bad experience. That's dope. Um I actually, you know, like um even when we launched like the strawberry hot wings mad, people was like talking shit and I love strawberry, trying to just create some beef, but it's it's really not like that. I feel like out here it's uh you see, in a small town where I'm from, there would be like some restaurant beef, right? Because it's a small town, everybody trying to eat. But like something like this, we just live in a huge city where like there's just so room, there's so much room for people, you know what I mean? So it's just like pull up a chair here. It's not really like they don't really be on no weird shit shit show.

Char Grilled Wings And Top Sellers

SPEAKER_16 7:13

So, what what makes Buffalo Eats different from every other wing spot in the city?

SPEAKER_01 7:19

Um, great question. What makes us different is uh hospitality, quality of food. Um we have char grilled wings, which a lot of people do not have. What is that? What is char grilled? I hate it. So they're fried crispy.

SPEAKER_03 7:34

They fire.

SPEAKER_01 7:34

Uh that's like an up north thing. So they're fried crispy, we toss them in the sauce, and then we put them on an open fire pit, so they have like a unique taste to them. And we actually sauce them up again after we pit them.

SPEAKER_11 7:43

That's good.

SPEAKER_01 7:44

That's double dirty. Those are going crazy. Like once you try those, you're probably never going back to regular wings ever again. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 7:51

You heard that? And they come never going back.

SPEAKER_01 7:53

And then another thing that makes us different. Um, we got the best cheesesteaks here in Charlotte for sure. Oh, standard. I said in Charlotte, uh you said Philly. Okay, okay. Okay, in Charlotte, North Carolina, we probably got the best cheesesteaks right now on the market.

SPEAKER_11 8:09

I gotta try it.

SPEAKER_01 8:10

Uh, we're using fresh ribeye. Uh, we got a great seasoning, we got a great house sauce. The house sauce is honestly uh that recipe is probably like 20 years old. It's like a family recipe. Um what else, man? Service is awesome. I think the quality really quality matters a lot because uh there's a lot of um, you know, there's a lot of steps that go into cooking our food. It's not really just like we don't slap shit together. You know? There's uh steps that go into how that plate was created, you know what I mean? Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 8:46

I know you said it off of camera, but can you tell, you know, the camera what does Buffalo Eats mean, like what it represents?

SPEAKER_01 8:53

Uh so what Buffalo Eats means is uh So we're originally from Buffalo, New York, so our name was inspired uh by the city that we come from, which is Buffalo, New York. Um there used to be a great Facebook page, believe it or not, there used to be this great Facebook page that was called Buffalo Eats on Facebook.

SPEAKER_14 9:11

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_01 9:12

I haven't used Facebook in like 10 years, but uh I don't even think they exist anymore. But it used to be this like go-to page if you wanted to like even in Buffalo. Not even people were like selling like ho housemade dinners on there and uh it was great for like people that just wanted to start up a business and uh or even sell plates out of their house or whatever the situation is and um so I probably stole the name off of that for sure. And then uh really uh use you know, put the buffalo in it. You know, uh got a like a designer to create the logo, and the logo we wanted to include the city and some utensils, of course, like some cooking utensils to kind of inspire the whole cooking thing going on. Um but yeah, that's where Buffalo Eats the name came from for sure. And some help from others.

SPEAKER_04 10:03

You say it's a family business, so when you say us, you mean like your family, uh me, your mom, your dad?

SPEAKER_01 10:07

No, it's uh me and my uncle, which is my mother's brother. Okay, okay. Yeah, that's the only two owners currently.

SPEAKER_16 10:17

So how do you decide when to like add or remove things from your menu?

SPEAKER_01 10:22

Um great question. Uh my rule is if we don't see items that are not selling five to ten percent a month, and uh so basically if if we're not selling five to ten percent of this item a month, we kind of just get rid of it. It's not worth being in the way, it's not worth training somebody how to make it, it's not worth buying the product for it to just sit in your fridge or your freezer. Um yeah, so that's a great question. Great question. Yeah, because I am I'm actually launching a menu in like 12 days, and we got rid of some items.

SPEAKER_16 10:58

A brand new menu, okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16 11:00

I I'm glad you brought up tracking.

SPEAKER_01 11:01

And and like the last couple years, we have been filtering our menu. Like our menu used to be more larger and uglier when we first launched, and uh, we've gotten so much better at designing it and you know, putting what works first, and there's like a whole like science behind how menus are designed. It's 100%, yeah. You gotta put your hitters on now. Right, right, for sure.

SPEAKER_16 11:22

So I'm glad you mentioned training because it leads into my next question. What goes into maintaining consistency within the business? Like if you are busy and or if you are like short staff, what what is something that you guys always make sure you do? Because you mentioned quality service earlier.

SPEAKER_01 11:43

Yes.

SPEAKER_16 11:44

What is something that you guys do to maintain consistency and quality regardless of what's going on?

SPEAKER_01 11:52

Um so we don't really we gotta honestly I got a wonderful team and they play a huge part in making sure that things are consistent. Um even when working under pressure, they they know how to rock out. We've learned so much, you know, they've been with me for years. So um honestly, it's all been trial and error, and we fixed obviously, you know, cooking systems to make sure that there is efficiency and there is standards, whether it's like you're being worked under pressure or you're not, you know, it's always got to be consistent. And um we just float through it and you know, we portion everything, so everything is portion controlled. Um whether it's slow or busy, everything is portioned. And I have a great team where like, you know, if they see something wrong or you know, there's a certain individual that's just not following the rules, you know, they got uh maybe one or two mistakes to make, and if you know we hurry up and notify them about the mistake, and if they don't adjust it, uh they will get kicked off the line immediately. You know, we don't care if we're like slammed and we need you, we're gonna kick your ass off the line. We honestly don't really like standard Yeah, we got standards and uh personal design. Yeah, and even when I'm not there, like I got a great team that kind of like you know puts me uh puts me on real quick. Keep you know yeah, keep me in the loop really fast. But I spend a lot of time on site, so that's another reason where like uh you know I am a very strict with portion control because like now if you're not portion control that goes into your costs and that goes into profit, right? I'm in this business to make money, not really like make somebody happy.

SPEAKER_04 13:31

So you the boss when you walk in, everybody tighten up, they start doing it.

Standards Under Pressure And Hiring

SPEAKER_01 13:35

They can, they can for sure. But uh I'm a really great boss, I think. And uh my people uh like I really still work shoulder to shoulder with my people on certain days. Yeah, um, it helps me find a lot of purpose at work, to be honest. And um also I spend a lot of time with them, you know. I ask them what they need. I try to whatever, just try to invest my time because they invest their time into what I'm doing. Absolutely. They have a passion for what I'm doing, so it's like they they part of the you know the come up. Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_16 14:09

Are you hiring?

SPEAKER_01 14:10

We are hiring for cashiers and line cooks right now. Remember, second location opened in like two months. That's right. We need a staff of 24 people.

SPEAKER_16 14:19

So where's your second location gonna be?

SPEAKER_01 14:21

Steel Creek. So this one is in a more bigger plaza. Um now when I first got here, um, you know, uh obviously we're a new company, so trying to get into a plaza with like big companies, national accounts, like I don't know, like for example, like Panera, Walmart, I don't know, like Lowe's and shit like that. They weren't fucking with us. But our second location, we're right in front of Lowe's, we're right in front of Walmart.

SPEAKER_11 14:47

We're right next to Whitehall.

SPEAKER_01 14:49

Yeah, we're in Whitehall Commons. Yeah, next to right next door to Cadoba. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, right next door to Panera, Smoothie King. That's a good spot. That's a good perfect spot. Right, and we got the uh dining option this time. Oh, sure. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_11 15:08

That's fire.

SPEAKER_01 15:09

Yeah, dining about to be crazy. I'm not gonna lie.

SPEAKER_02 15:11

So my next question is do you need um content creators for that next location?

SPEAKER_01 15:16

Um possibly. I mean, that's girl. I'm the girl. Right, right. Well, honestly, uh, I have a really great um you know, marketing team. He's really just an individual. Um I hired him. I got I gave him a shot. He's like 19. Well, at the time he was probably like 18. But he's been with me for almost a year, and uh he does really great for marketing. And also, cameraman, it really just a lot of a lot of it be me, and I'm trying to get a lot of my staff to get to like be comfortable to the camera too, because they be like lame and shy, and and like they be uh quiet and shit on a camera. I'm like, yo, bro, like practice is perfect, bro. You just gotta start doing it now. So, like, bro, if I ever like sometimes I'd be needing a mental break from that shit. Or just like you know, uh, you just don't want to be on camera and just like that shit's not easy, man. So it's like sometimes I want to get somebody else on there, but and and they be getting engagement. Like when they see somebody else, uh, I'm not gonna lie, like the whatever how the algorithm works, I'm not really sure, but uh I'm not a genius at that. But like when they do be seeing other individuals on camera, they be they be clicking on that shit. So I'll be like, yo, listen, your video did good, so try to like hype them up, you know. But a lot of them definitely be camera shy, for sure. They gotta get out of that. Yeah, that's right. I'd be like, yo, listen, uh, this is gonna get you fired if you're not trying to be on camera. Wait, what? I'm not gonna lie. Uh I've been thinking about like adding it to like uh, you know, some of our requirements on when you are getting hired.

SPEAKER_16 16:52

No, I think incentives are great. So coming from I work in the food industry myself, I'm a hospitality worker, whatever. But I definitely think that incentives are great. So even if it's like if your video, not you have don't say this per se, but you know, if the video is getting traction, or like, hey, if you're willing to do some of this stuff, then it's like you know, you'll they'll get incentives. Like that's always a competitive thing with servers and cashiers and people. So it's like just to keep the momentum going too, you know.

SPEAKER_01 17:18

Yes. An incentive you mean like a payout?

SPEAKER_16 17:20

No, not a payout. It doesn't have to be a payout, hell no, just like a gift card prize or like a payout. Like, you know, which is not like cash, money, but you know, gift cards. If you see somebody doing star cards, I love gift cards, whatever, stuff like that. Me too. I love gift cards. I take gift cards all day.

SPEAKER_04 17:36

What do you mean when you say on camera though?

SPEAKER_16 17:38

Like what like they're doing marketing, so too.

SPEAKER_01 17:40

Like market, yeah, like creating videos about it.

SPEAKER_16 17:42

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:43

Like, for example, like, you know, sometimes I'll have my cameraman come like every two weeks, right? And I'm just saying, like, maybe I might not be able to make it. I I mean I make sure that I'm available for sure, but like if I'm running late, or like uh, you know, I might be busy, I I don't know, just uh or I might be having like a rough day, and I'm just like, yo, you know what, like it's a two-hour shoot, so I'll be like, yo, listen, I'm gonna hype them up, get them, you know, I'm gonna do like the first hour, and then I want you guys to hop on. You know, and then it's you know, because like I'm not gonna lie, bro, being on camera for like sometimes two, three, four hours, bro, it's a little nerve-wracking. Yeah, yeah. You know, especially when things are script. Like, I'm cool with the natural shit, but like when things are scripted and you're fucking up and you're trying to like when you're fucking up the script, it's it it's nerve wracking. It's hard.

SPEAKER_16 18:33

It's like, damn, confidence shot down.

SPEAKER_01 18:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_16 18:36

Do you think viral moments um actually translate to real sales for you?

SPEAKER_01 18:41

100%. Um I'm not gonna lie, like you you you never really know what's gonna go viral, right? So you could spend, you know, whatever, hundreds, thousands of dollars on videos, but you know, on creating the video. Um but you never know like what's gonna really hit. You never know. You gotta put the content out. Yeah, you you just gotta keep pushing it, just gotta keep posting. One of them is gonna hit, you know? You know, you never know which one. You're just gonna wake up the next morning and it just went like viral overnight. Exactly. But uh another thing we do do is uh we spend a lot of like marketing money on like boosting ads on Instagram too. Okay. Yeah, that works for us a lot. So that generates a lot of business for us for sure.

SPEAKER_14 19:26

I wanna know like how important like you got the wings here, right? I've been to places where wings is trash, like I ain't gonna name the per the place, but uh how important is it picking like the suppliers for your food? Because that's very important too. You don't want to be a good thing.

SPEAKER_01 19:39

Yeah, yeah, that's very important. Well, how I look at it and how my how you know mentors tell me to look at it is your vendor almost has to be like your partner. So if you don't have like a part uh like basically a relationship where the vendor, you know, make sure that you're getting almost, you know, top quality or or letting you even test a couple of his products free, you know, um you know you gotta be fine, you you gotta find a different vendor, honestly. Because it all starts with your vendor, right? He's almost like your partner. Because like you're buying the supply from him, the supply you're using is you know being cooked and sold to somebody else. So like it's like if they're making if they're if they're making money, you know, uh well if you're making money, they're making money. You know what I mean? So like if you just got a shitty vendor that's not really like bringing you ideas or trying to help you save on cost or bringing you ideas to help you even save on cost or try new products, then honestly you gotta find your new vendor. But also, you know, you gotta know your vendors really. You like for me, uh it took me a while to like find a good vendor for sure. Uh and that just goes back to trial and error, you know, starting a new restaurant, figuring out the market in a new city. I've never lived here, like I just moved here in 2020, so um but you find out pretty fast, you know what I mean? But for sure, you just gotta find out who's number one, who's number two, and uh you go back to back with those guys, you know? And uh trust because you gotta try to keep both vendors on their toes. You know, because it's like okay, if number one is fucking up, then I gotta go to number two, and if number two is fucking up, I gotta go to number one.

SPEAKER_16 21:28

Do you communicate that with them?

SPEAKER_01 21:30

Uh they could feel it every time I place an order. For sure. You know?

unknown 21:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_16 21:36

How much chicken, like in an average order, how much chicken are you placing? Like how many pounds of chicken?

SPEAKER_01 21:42

Uh well, weekly we go through uh just chicken wings. We go through um about fifty uh cases of forty pound boxes. So that's about two thousand pounds a week. Of chicken wings only. Yeah, that's great.

SPEAKER_11 22:01

Yeah, not even the tender.

SPEAKER_04 22:03

But that's like your main dish, the chicken wings and the cheesesteaks.

SPEAKER_01 22:05

Chicken wings and the cheesesteaks. Cheese steaks, we probably use almost like 800 pounds a week right now. Summertime is more like a thousand pounds. Because it picks up a lot in the summer. You got any vegan options? We do, but they're gonna be discontinued in 12 days.

SPEAKER_16 22:22

He told you the new menu, if it's not selling. Unfortunately, uh take it next to the five.

SPEAKER_01 22:27

You know why? You know why? Because uh steak costs about five dollars a pound right now, and steak bites, vegan option, costs about twelve dollars a pound.

SPEAKER_16 22:37

Damn shit.

SPEAKER_00 22:41

That's more than double. That's why we're getting rid of that shit.

SPEAKER_16 22:45

That's because there's more ingredients in it. That's why I'm gonna be able to do that. I'm sorry to ads. Give me the meat. Right.

SPEAKER_14 22:53

Vegan cheese, I better come to the crazy expensive when go vegan. Yeah, no, one of these vegan spots will be going out of business now. I know.

SPEAKER_11 23:02

Yeah, vegan options are hard, dude. That's why they they uh menus.

SPEAKER_01 23:06

And then, like, I'm not gonna lie, like uh, you know, back to quality control, right? So uh it's very tough to like try not to make sure that there's no cross contamination going on with a vegan cheesesteak. Even when I got like an eight-foot flat top, like it's still hard. It's too much going on, huh?

SPEAKER_16 23:26

Yeah, because you're cooking all the meat at one time. Like, do you get it?

SPEAKER_01 23:29

I gotta get new utensils. I gotta like I sell 50 cheesesteaks, regular cheesesteaks, before I sell one vegan option. So back to like what the rule is, right? If you're not if if it's not five to ten percent, yeah, five detectors. So I'm sorry, vegans.

SPEAKER_11 23:44

But they gotta go.

SPEAKER_01 23:45

Sorry, but not sorry. And honestly, I'm trying to simplify my menu so uh it's easier for me to like cross-train, it's easier for me to expand into another location because obviously I can't be in two, three, four places at a time. And as you can see, like the the way to go about you know expanding nowadays is you gotta keep it nice and simple. You know? Like there's a bunch of franchises out there right now that just started the last five years, they literally got like six items on the menu. I'm not saying that I'm gonna go down the six items, but yeah, 20 items sound about right.

SPEAKER_11 24:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:18

Yeah, because I ain't gonna hold you.

SPEAKER_14 24:19

If I go to a restaurant or something, if we got too many options, I'm like, yo, what the fuck? Yeah, I don't know what to get. I don't know what to get. Yeah. Everything sounds good. Right, yeah. I don't know, B. Give me like six options, you'd be like, ah, I want that. All right, man. You know what? Let me just get the tenders and the fries.

SPEAKER_01 24:33

That's it.

SPEAKER_16 24:36

No, Mo. What's one of the um menu items that you have created that you felt like, you know, was great? It was your idea, you thought it was great, but it didn't go so great. Like out of the box ideas.

SPEAKER_01 24:48

Um, no, we're actually supposed to launch some peanut butter and jelly wings, though.

SPEAKER_11 24:58

Oh, I went to a shot. I went to a side. That's for fat people. But I gotta try that. That's for naked people.

SPEAKER_14 25:12

How does that work?

SPEAKER_16 25:14

If they're naked wings and not breaded, it's so much better.

SPEAKER_14 25:16

I don't even know how that works.

SPEAKER_16 25:18

Actually, all items are kind of long.

SPEAKER_01 25:19

I I've I don't really know. I'm not gonna lie.

SPEAKER_16 25:23

No, a burger.

SPEAKER_01 25:24

I mean, we had like a savaki wrap. That shit was ass. A what?

SPEAKER_16 25:27

A chicken savaki wrap? Right. I like chicken savaki.

SPEAKER_01 25:30

They were good, but like ingredients on that. It's like grilled chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, feta cheese, free dressing. I love me some feta cheese. Yeah, that feta cheese is fire. But it kept going bad, and it's expensive. Yeah, it is expensive. God damn. What's the hottest mark? What's the hottest item on there right now? The hottest item right now is either gonna be the regular cheesesteak or something called the stinger. The stinger, what's that? Right. It's the Philly cheesesteak with the chicken tenders inside of it.

SPEAKER_11 25:56

I saw that. Oh, I never had that.

SPEAKER_01 26:00

With tenders inside of it, and you get them tossing any of the wing flavors. Oh, people get like strawberry hot, honey hot.

SPEAKER_16 26:07

And the cheesesteak.

SPEAKER_01 26:08

Yeah, it's fire. Uh it's laid on top, but you can get it chopped up. Oh, that's fire.

SPEAKER_02 26:17

I want it to be a steak instead of taking it.

SPEAKER_01 26:19

Uh so we used to throw out a lot of our hungry. Like these niggas is hungry. So we used to throw out a lot of the tenders because they used to be super small, right? So we had to create a menu item that could basically get rid of the waste, right? Because you got to be smart with the waste.

SPEAKER_11 26:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:37

Uh, because obviously you're paying anything you're buying is by the pound. So if that's being thrown out, you know, obviously that's just money in the ground. Um so we created something called the stinger fries. It's basically a loaded steak fries with chicken tender bites on top, which is those small tenders that used to go to waste, and we toss them in the wing sauces. And that those stinger fries, they've been doing numbers. I like how let you stay open. Uh one? One o'clock? Yeah. One o'clock?

SPEAKER_00 27:03

Go see this man.

SPEAKER_16 27:04

Go see this man.

SPEAKER_01 27:05

Uh 11.

SPEAKER_04 27:07

Y'all got an eleven. You got a brunch menu, a breakfast menu? No, that's all. You should do the brunt. Man, wrap that Philly cheese up with a pancake. You know what?

SPEAKER_01 27:16

Pancake, Philly cheese. I tell, I'll tell everybody, anybody want to come switch it up? Just come work. We'll see if we bill for it. Break the breakfast. I'm not waking up early for no breakfast hours.

SPEAKER_16 27:27

And then breakfast items are more, but only have a couple breakfast items. Yeah, you're like two of them joints, two, three. I feel you.

SPEAKER_01 27:33

Well, try to work a big and make a cheese in the room. The thing is, is like, you know, we're we're uh we operate five days a week, but we actually bust our ass. And um, you know, if you're working till one, two, three, it's really like two in the morning because it takes us about an hour to clean for my staff to clean or whatever. Like, there's no way you're getting up at 7 a.m. coming to open shop after that long.

SPEAKER_14 27:56

Yeah, there's no way. You know what I want to know? Because you you mentioned waste, right? Um, and with her being an influencer, and a lot of times they come and you know the restaurants will give out the food. Like, how does that work on the back end as far as uh we actually keep a waste log?

SPEAKER_01 28:12

So, for example, I got a waste log that uh we have a column for mistakes, we got a column for employee meals, and we got a column for stiffs. And we got a column for like content, you know. But it's not every week, you know, because not every week I'm doing something with content creators or whatever, but I just tell my employees, yo, listen, uh you know, we gotta write down everything that we eat. So if I eat something, I write it down. And um really I tell them, hey, listen, if we're doing good with mistakes, as long as we're not like my mistake column isn't as huge as my employee meals, I don't care because like we're doing the right thing. These guys gotta get fed, whatever. It's not that you know, it's not that crazy. But if there's a lot of mistakes, y'all gonna have to start paying for your food. Because uh there's a lot of cost there.

SPEAKER_11 29:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:05

You know? And I don't let my employees go like overboard with the shit. Like, I'm not letting them, you know, they're not taking home like 16 wings and two cheese steaks. I'm like, you know, they get a meal just specifically for them. Right. Like I don't mind like a cheesesteak and fries or wings and fries, but you're not going home with like loaded up a whole bag. There's no way that's happening. No way, Jose. Yeah. I mean, you can get a discount though. We can get you an employee discount.

SPEAKER_16 29:31

That's why I was just getting ready to say, Mo, I I like the way you think because we gotta get you the employee discount for sure. It's not about it's not about being stingy, it's about being smart. Right, right, for sure.

SPEAKER_01 29:42

There we go at the end of the day. Exactly.

SPEAKER_16 29:46

Take a mile every time every time you can't do it.

SPEAKER_01 29:50

Uh-huh. So definitely.

SPEAKER_16 29:52

Did he know you was gonna be on the podcast? Did it say dad? Yeah, it did say dad.

SPEAKER_13 29:57

That's been like soon. I see you won't hear talking about smoke talk.

Profit Math And Return Policy

SPEAKER_16 30:01

Making me hungry then, son. I wanted to ask what advice would you give a small food business trying to grow in today's economy?

SPEAKER_01 30:14

Uh so a lot of people are in the business because they thought, well, anybody that opens up a restaurant loves cooking, right? Ninety probably 99% of people. Um But when you get into the real world, uh real world where you're making where you're supposed to be, you know, it's okay, you you're passionate about the food, but it's about now it's about making money. Um what a lot of people don't understand is or you know, they they never uh do the financial part. They just think about like how much orders they're pushing or how much they love cooking. And trust me, they don't love cooking when they're cooking for twelve hours straight. You know? With no break, no cigarette break, barely getting a bathroom break, barely drinking water. Summertime is hot as fuck. You know what I mean? Like your friends are all out, they're coming in these fucking swimsuits, getting food while you're making it. Yeah, you looking at them like what the what's going on, right? Right. So they don't think about that part, right? They just all want to get into the food industry because it's fun and I wanna people are love my food and whatever situation is, right? Uh, but they don't uh my advice is uh make sure you just stay on top of your financials. Like you should definitely find out your labor costs, you should definitely find out your inventory cost. Um before you even create your menu, you definitely gotta find out how much each plate costs you so you can market how you want it, so you could create, you know, make a profit, right? But a lot of people don't even do that. They just skip to right right to like, okay, what is competition's price? This is what I'm gonna price it for, when they don't even really know their their basically their prime cost. Your prime cost is basically, you know, like inventory plus labor. That's your prime cost.

SPEAKER_14 32:03

How do you handle customer service? Like save somebody, because it'd be a lot of people they got food. Well, that or you know, say somebody bought some wings, right? And they they know they they intent is to go ahead, then leave, then say, Oh, I need to get my correct order. How do you handle those types of customers?

SPEAKER_01 32:20

Uh I actually have a return policy that I stole from Cuzzos. Oh, shout out to Cuzzos. Yeah, shout out to Cuzzos. Yeah, their return policy is really straightforward. I mean, I can't tell you all of it off-rip, but it's very strict. And I think the only way to get a return, uh, you know, whether it's like a remake or even some money back, is the food has to be actually brought back. So even if you tell me like, yo, I'm 40 minutes away, I'm like, well, listen, bro, I'm here the next four days. You know, I don't care if you bring it back to me and it's four or five days old. Oh shit. You know, I'm gonna throw it out once I get it anyways. But like I need some evidence that uh or you know, sometimes I'm not gonna lie, like if it's a small mistake where like they ordered some wings and maybe they got a wrong flavor, I'll just be like, I could tell which, you know, which flavor is which just off a picture. So I'll tell them, like, yo, you know, send me a picture. I don't know. And uh, you know, then we move on to the next steps, like, you know, how could we make this right? Okay, bet. Yeah, but but the uh return policy was really great when I went to Cuzzo's this one day and I was like, yo, bro, I think this is the best return policy I've ever read for a restaurant. And uh I just took a picture of that shit, went back to my uh, you know, my designer and was like, yo, put something like this together, just reword it a bit, just so it's it's not like that.

SPEAKER_00 33:44

Yeah, cuz I'll appreciate you, man. Great return policy, my man.

SPEAKER_11 33:47

Great return policy.

SPEAKER_02 33:50

What has been your biggest challenge and biggest win so far in the food business?

SPEAKER_01 33:56

Biggest challenge is um biggest challenge. There's a lot of challenges. You know, restaurants is like it's almost like every day, not every day, but a lot of days you're putting out a lot of fires, but challenges, I would say the hardest one was probably getting I don't know. Hardest challenge is probably um trying to just get good people that's like for the brand that like understands the vision. Um you know, my turnover rate isn't really crazy, but like I got a few solid people that's been with me for years, but I just wish like, you know, restaurants didn't have to deal with just so much turnover. Yeah, I think the rate right now in the US is like 150%. Every every three every three months. So that means that every three months everybody in your team gets replaced. Yes. There's a hundred and fifty percent chance.

SPEAKER_16 35:02

That's why.

SPEAKER_01 35:03

And turnover rates like cost a lot of money, really. Now you gotta like onboard people, yeah, you gotta train them, they're making mistakes, you gotta pay them for training. Yeah, you know, like is it's time consuming. You know, somebody has you somebody has to get paid to train them. You know, so it's very time consuming. That's the worst. And uh biggest win so far right now uh is honestly the second location because uh you know, just the whole we got like a spot like two and a half times the size. Uh luckily we didn't have to go into like no debt for it. We didn't have to ask no bank for no money. And uh I mean I did in the beginning because I really didn't want to like you know, we didn't want to burn our own cash. But like But like they were the banks were charging some crazy numbers for some money.

SPEAKER_16 35:58

Interest rates were high in 2020.

unknown 36:00

Right.

SPEAKER_01 36:01

And uh we was like, man, fuck this. We're just gonna we're just gonna use our own money. So that's that's the biggest one so far. You know, getting that second location, locking it in, working on it right now, and hopefully open in two months. Two months.

SPEAKER_08 36:16

Yes, two months. And would you collab with um another food business to come up with like a limited dish? Because I know like Pizza did one with Swirl, the pizza ice cream.

SPEAKER_01 36:27

Yeah, for sure. I mean, you know, people reach out all the time, and uh like I was just out with my wife the other day, and like somebody called me into like uh not a damn chance burger spot. Well, I know that's fine. They got good burgers, right? Uh I'm not paying$20 for a burger, but that part I don't care. Like, if I that I think that shit is just crazy. Because like I'm the type of person, even if I got money, like I'm not buying a$20 burger. There's no way.

SPEAKER_16 36:55

Yeah. Um if it was Ted Steam Burgers. Let me stop the steam burgers, not even.

SPEAKER_01 37:01

Oh no, but twenty dollars is that it's a lot. Like that it don't even come with fries though.

SPEAKER_11 37:08

No, no, I never think.

SPEAKER_14 37:10

It's really like sixteen dollars, not a damn chance of paying twenty dollars for a gumbo.

SPEAKER_16 37:14

But listen, this is the thing though, where there is I read a book, it's called Contagious, and when people even if they can't afford it, huh? They um there there's gonna be a line. There's gonna be the masses that are trying to get this one thing.

SPEAKER_01 37:30

Yeah, but guess what's gonna happen after they try it?

SPEAKER_16 37:32

They're not gonna like it.

SPEAKER_01 37:33

If it's not like that, they're saying I paid twenty dollars for this goddamn burger. I promise you, look, I I don't know. I I mean I don't want to shit on their business, but I just think sixteen dollars for a damn burger, like honestly, I've been to places where I've spent, you know, sixteen to twenty dollars on a burger, but I could go to five guys and honestly the burger's better.

SPEAKER_16 37:51

And get mad fried at the bottom of that bag. Right.

SPEAKER_01 37:53

Well, Bad Daddy's burgers, best burgers. You've been to Bad Daddy's. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, five guys is better though. What? Yeah, honestly, I think five guys have has like almost one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life.

SPEAKER_16 38:07

Because it's it's so simple. It's so simple. Maybe I got consistent. I tried to do that. I went one time.

SPEAKER_01 38:12

I was like, this is a good one. You just gotta throw a little salt and pepper on it. Flip it upside down, put the salt and pepper on it.

SPEAKER_04 38:20

Yes, sir. I feel like the burger a good burger starts with the bun. Like the it's easy to make the meat, but if you get a good bun, inspire at five guys, get the sesame bun.

unknown 38:29

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 38:30

Can't go wrong with that.

SPEAKER_04 38:31

I'm gonna try it again.

SPEAKER_01 38:32

I'm gonna try it again.

SPEAKER_16 38:33

Five guys, please hit him up because he he's just a lot of burger.

SPEAKER_01 38:37

But yeah, collabs though, back to collabs. I mean, I'm open to whatever. It's just like it can't be a complicated menu item. Honestly.

SPEAKER_16 38:43

It has to make sense.

SPEAKER_01 38:44

Yeah. Like, I don't want to have just like I said, like, if it's like complicated in the kitchen, uh, we're not gonna carry it. You know, like uh the people from not a damn good chance, whatever, they hit me up. She's talking about some, she hit me up and she was saying that she wanted to do some egg rolls with the Wagyu meat, and I'm like, okay, but like if you're sell if you're selling a burger here for sixteen dollars, how much I'm gonna sell this fucking egg roll? Shouldn't make no sense. Yeah, and it's wagoo. Wagu's Wagyu is expensive.

SPEAKER_16 39:13

That's why it's expensive because Wagyu is expensive.

SPEAKER_01 39:15

So, like, uh uh egg roll is supposed to be like a side item. I'm selling them shit's like seven dollars. So how much I'm gonna have to sell the wagoo one?

SPEAKER_14 39:23

Yeah, that's a fact. So let's get to pricing, right? Like how how are you are you you know highly priced, moderately priced, you know, underpriced.

SPEAKER_01 39:31

Um I'm moderately priced, honestly. Uh so you know, I'm not gonna lie, like I was saying earlier about menu. So when I opened when I first opened up, I went off competition pricing, right? But uh once I started finding out, you know, with some help from my mentors and you know, myself or whatever, or just I I've invested a lot of hours into studying, podcasts, listening about the business that I'm running. Um I'm always learning. So um once I actually so now when I created like this new menu, my latest one, or even the one before that, you know, I found out what was like my cost for each item and just you know, market basically market it up and use a little bit of competition pricing, but like, you know, don't just go overboard with it. As long as you're making a good profit. Um and uh you're making a good profit, and also uh you could sell it way more many times because it might be at like a discounted price, like maybe a dollar off from your competition. And I sell way more, then it's like less is more. Yeah, less is more, exactly.

SPEAKER_14 40:39

Make that slow dollar every single time. That's that's that's up north mentality.

SPEAKER_01 40:43

I swear to god, uh, y'all got desserts on the main. Yeah, we do got desserts. We actually get our desserts from a local vendor, uh, jazzy cheesecakes. Not the jazzy cheesecakes. Uh so good.

SPEAKER_15 40:57

I'm about to be at Buffalo Eats.

SPEAKER_01 40:59

Right, we do have some banana pudding, some strawberry banana pudding. Oh man, banana pudding.

SPEAKER_15 41:04

I mean, bring some of that. God damn it.

SPEAKER_16 41:06

Unpopular opinion. Do you think banana pudding is an old person's dessert? Oh no. Even though my grandma was the one that used to bake the shit, but no, no, no, no. That's all jello is. No, no, I I I I've had conversations with people and they've said in the past that banana pudding is for old people. Oh, eat that banana pudding.

SPEAKER_01 41:28

But behind closed doors, they're probably crushing banana pudding.

SPEAKER_16 41:30

Yeah. I mean, I that's what I think.

Expansion Lessons From COVID Leasing

SPEAKER_01 41:33

Like they go into like their grandma's event and probably like crushing that shit. Taking a whole thing. Some good old old banana pudding. Good. Can't go wrong with that though.

SPEAKER_14 41:43

So, um, like, what is a piece of advice you would give to a young entrepreneur that is uh getting into the restaurant business, you know, like you said, the challenges, the highs and lows. Like, what is that piece of advice you would give to them when they in starting into this business?

SPEAKER_01 41:58

Well, if you're starting up, I would definitely tell you to try to find a second generation restaurant because building anything out nowadays just way too expensive and it takes too much time. Um second, I would definitely tell you to, you know, before you even get the restaurant, make sure you design your menu, make sure there's an audience for it. Um by maybe checking out the area or maybe you know pushing some ads and try to see if there's some engagement for that type of stuff around there, whatever area you're trying to go in. Uh maybe even do like pop-ups, you know, pop-ups really work, especially nowadays. Um more advice. Yeah, second gen, do the pop-ups, and then just uh once you see the engagement, you definitely gotta take action, ASAP, because somebody will steal your idea fast.

SPEAKER_11 42:49

Yeah, especially in Sharon.

SPEAKER_01 42:51

Action is definitely gotta take action and don't hesitate, you know. Like I didn't really know what was gonna happen. You know, me and my partner's investment here, like I told you, we opened during COVID and we spent a lot of money opening that place. And uh we literally paid rent, people don't even know, but I came to Charlotte three different times, and I spent a week each time, and I was literally like, we're sleeping like Airbnbs and hotels, you know, trying to open a or trying to get a lease, right? But like it's during COVID, and so landlords is looking at us like we're crazy. Like, how are you guys trying to open up a restaurant during COVID? You know, like all my tenants closed this year. Yeah, anybody that had a restaurant. So um really uh I ended up and the third time I came out here, I told myself, like, I'm not leaving Charlotte until I sign a lease. And I kind of stamped that and I literally overstayed by like seven days. You know, it was originally only supposed to be five. I ended up spending another seven days, so you know, uh you gotta invest the money into your dream, you know. Investing meaning, even like you know, I was basically. Ran a car, you know, sleeping in hotels overstaying, right? So sacrificing that's the sacrificing and the investment. And uh yeah, I I I told myself I'm not going back without a lease, and we actually signed a lease and we sat on the space for a whole year before we even did anything to it. Just paying rent on it. Just paying rent on it because we just had a dream. You know?

SPEAKER_16 44:24

Oh, he got money. So now I'm playing. I'm just trying to do it. It was two thousand dollars a month.

SPEAKER_01 44:33

It was like two grand a month, so it wasn't really like crazy, but you know, it was still like you spent it, you're talking about twenty-four thousand dollars. Like I was eighteen years old. No, I was twenty years old at the time. So you know regular 20-year-old dude. He like, man, I'm about to go buy like a motorcycle or something.

SPEAKER_16 44:51

All right, this might be stereotypical, but are you what nationality are you?

SPEAKER_15 44:57

Wait, what?

SPEAKER_01 44:59

Yeah, I'm Yemeni, yes.

SPEAKER_15 45:02

Let me tell you, they really are.

SPEAKER_01 45:03

You work really hard though. No, I don't understand that.

SPEAKER_15 45:05

But you like I'm gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_01 45:06

See, my my parents migrated here in the early 90s, yeah, and they've been working ever since. And uh believe it or not, you know, I love my family. Shout out to them. Shout out to them but I think our brand has been the most successful part of our our family right now. I love that. I love that.

SPEAKER_04 45:22

So in your culture, when you're younger, like are your parents like honing the business on like the business aspect of life? Oh yeah, they letting y'all know, like, as young as like you gotta have your finances together.

SPEAKER_01 45:35

No, not really. Uh honestly, my parents were pretty con like I I'm speaking for my parents, because like I grew up around my parents a lot, but I also grew up around my grandparents, and they were the entrepreneurs. And my my father was an entrepreneur too. He actually used to own an ice cream truck, but you know, they always told us to focus on school, you know? And um so they weren't pushing that shit into us or like you know, translating that stuff into us, but um To be honest, man, I just really didn't have no choice. You know? Like, you know, growing in like uh uh growing in like a middle we're we're kinda like right under middle class family. You know, we had food stamps, we had, you know, we did own our own house. But like my dad bought our house like during the crash, so like we paid like probably eight thousand dollars for our house. You know, and now that same house is worth like 300k, but but during the crash it was crazy. Like literally, I remember like our mortgage was a hundred bucks a month, bro. Like that's nothing, no interest, you know? Um so all I'm saying is like, yeah, dude, uh, it wasn't easy. Uh it wasn't, you know, um engraved in us, but you know, I didn't have no choice really because like I just didn't like the stuff that I grew up with. You know, my dad really didn't know a lot of language, and um I just wasn't going for that. I just knew there was something better for me. And you know, whoever I wanted to bring with us. You know what I mean? Because I actually like sacrificed a lot of my time, a lot of my teenage years to be where I'm at today. Like I wasn't I wasn't outside at 13, I was at work. Facts, you know? Like uh I'm getting on the bus, you know, like to get to work. I'm not asking for no ride. Like, if you can't come get me, I'm hopping on the bus and spending an hour to get to work.

SPEAKER_16 51:21

All right. You the one that said it was real.

SPEAKER_04 51:24

It was real until it wasn't. It was false.

SPEAKER_16 51:25

SPEAKER_11 51:28

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 51:35

SPEAKER_14 51:56

SPEAKER_08 52:02

Hey, yo.

SPEAKER_16 52:04

Cause I'm in toxic. Yes, I love that song. That's my shit. I'm gonna sing that at karaoke next time I go.

SPEAKER_14 52:11

Oh shit. We should go to karaoke. Nota what I want.

SPEAKER_16 52:18

That's it. Manager and she's been bringing in content creation. It was like a first day I went with this girl. Oh, yeah, sing them now. Yeah, we haven't like stuff now. All right. Let's get to this breakdown.

SPEAKER_14 52:30

So y'all so stupid. No, you can follow me. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 52:32

No passports for the parents that owe child support.

SPEAKER_16 52:38

Sound like stay your ass in the staying point. Do they got passports? Hold on. This is the same thing.

SPEAKER_02 52:48

So the U.S. the United States State Department is expanding enforcement of a decade's old child support law to actively revoke ange passports for parents who owe more than$100,000 child support.

SPEAKER_16 53:02

That's a lot. That's a lot. I mean, that it takes a while to get up to$100,000. You do not give a fuck about your child. You had multiple kids you weren't taking care of, goddamn it.

SPEAKER_08 53:12

Shout out to my daddy, but I gave your passport.

SPEAKER_02 53:16

You not get your password. I still love you though. Yeah, my father. Right.

SPEAKER_14 53:23

That nigga can wait till he left, huh?

SPEAKER_11 53:25

You ain't getting your passport.

SPEAKER_16 53:29

Facts are then he had a light in front of him. Like here. That sounds like that cigarette.

SPEAKER_03 53:37

He was touching the water.

SPEAKER_02 53:38

He was like, cigarette? No, alright.

SPEAKER_16 53:40

No, we'll do those, we'll do those.

SPEAKER_02 53:42

Alright, so under the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, the um government is authorized to deny or revoke passports for parents who owe more than$2,500 in back child support, which happened in the fa in the past, and enforcement typically happened during passport renewals or applying for it. Now, three US officials explained that the Trump administration is planning to actively seek out individuals who are behind on payments, even if they are currently renewing their passports and pull passports from those people.

SPEAKER_16 54:13

I hope y'all treat them how y'all was treating the look the mom. Shut up. Who? You gotta say it. It's no advisory. And anybody, anybody that was getting yanked up out their car, that was getting boots to the head, that couldn't breathe. I hope y'all put that same energy into collecting these folks with their passports. Put the same energy into it. With that same energy. Yeah, because it just don't make no sense. Like to be a hundred thousand dollars in debt to your own child is crazy.

SPEAKER_14 54:39

That's crazy. Like, what's the cutoff? Obviously, there's no cutoff.

SPEAKER_16 54:42

There's no cutoff. Why would there be a cutoff? I'm still waiting on my shit. Don't you got do you get back child support if you're an adult? Like, I don't think so. I think they go back to the government. I heard he got a lawsuit or something like that. Yeah. Also, you can take your daddy to civil court. Yeah, but I ain't got to do that. If you're not into a lawsuit, they are obligated to take half. They can't take it all.

SPEAKER_02 55:03

I don't really care about child support. Child support is lame.

SPEAKER_16 55:05

Child support is the devil.

SPEAKER_02 55:06

Oh my mom's. But those who are enrolled in a payment plan may be able to avoid losing their travel privileges. But there's no official public date that's starting yet to like make it like in effect. So yeah. But do y'all think it's fair for the parents to owe that owe like a lot of child support to get their travel privileges taken?

SPEAKER_16 55:27

Absolutely. I mean you don't deserve the travel. Yeah. Exactly.

SPEAKER_14 55:30

Probably half of them niggas never even own no don't even want a passport. Anyway, who gives a fuck? Some people don't give a fuck. You're like, okay.

SPEAKER_04 55:40

I'm still not gonna pay because I ain't going nowhere.

SPEAKER_16 55:42

Oh,$100,000 in child support, you're supposed to be just living your fucking life damn.

SPEAKER_04 55:45

Yes, because it's bitter baby mamas.

SPEAKER_16 55:51

That don't need money. I'm with you though. I don't vouch for child support, but a hundred thousand dollars is a lot of fucking money.

SPEAKER_14 55:58

Hey, teachers own.

SPEAKER_16 55:59

That's what I'm saying. If you if you get if you owe that much money and you haven't done anything about your quote unquote bitter baby, whoever, like that's a you problem. You obviously don't make decisions properly. And if you gave her ever a lump sum of money or you was dishing out funds, you know, as a black man, I want y'all to know this. If you are giving your baby mother money, you can go down to the courts and make it. Yeah, you gotta all you gotta do is call your horses. Yeah, cash out that whole zero that's gonna be. Every time. Every time.

SPEAKER_08 56:27

All right, let's talk about Cardi B and Stefan Diggs.

SPEAKER_16 56:30

For what?

SPEAKER_08 56:31

I thought that was a lot of people. What do you mean for a way? I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 56:35

If y'all don't know, Stefan Diggs is the NFL player that plays for the Patriots and who was linked romantically with Cardi B and was spotted with a woman named Pre who was offsets Cardi B ex-husband, allegedly side-check.

SPEAKER_08 56:49

He's not alleged.

SPEAKER_15 56:51

You know that? Yeah, they're gonna be a good idea.

SPEAKER_08 56:54

And it's known that Pre is Stefan's long-term close associate and an Instagram model.

SPEAKER_02 57:00

So they've been knowing each other for a while.

SPEAKER_16 57:02

They're supposed to be best friends.

SPEAKER_08 57:03

Yeah. So that's really weird, you know.

SPEAKER_16 57:07

Apparently they broke up.

SPEAKER_10 57:08

They did broke up. They went, um, well, I don't know if they broke up. I don't know if they broke up. I'm gonna say that. I'm not gonna say that.

SPEAKER_16 57:13

Because they just unfollow each other off of Instagram. So were the tweets real that she was like, you're a disgrace to super bowl. No, that was fake. That was fake. Disgrace the rap.

SPEAKER_11 57:20

Yeah, that was fake.

SPEAKER_14 57:21

My thing about the situation is Cardi Cardi knew this shit before going into the situation. Stefan made it perfectly clear. Listen, I got all these kids, I got this shit. Are you willing to go? The thing that Cardi fucked up is she thinking, because she's Cardi B, that she's the head B and that he's gonna bow down and do, and and and it didn't happen. You know what I mean? So she knew that.

SPEAKER_16 57:42

I have a misconception. You don't know what Cardi thinking. Cardi probably saying, fuck that nigga. You don't know what really like Cardi's a Libra. She could literally be like, okay, and happy as fuck. Bye bye. Like, I know you can't do that. But she's she's a sucker.

SPEAKER_04 57:53

She's a no one. She got a whole baby though.

SPEAKER_03 57:56

She got a whole baby. There's a whole baby.

SPEAKER_16 57:59

She got a whole baby. Wait, but wait, there's more. Y'all are missing like the actual factual. That's the factual boot. What is it? Her new baby daddy, Stefan Diggs, is best friends with the bitch that she but the mystery is like. Yes. So why, if you know that and we have a child together and you know what she did to me and my family, why would you bring that bitch to the Super Bowl with confidence and then go greet her in the crowd? I'm gonna just do it. You think I'm my best friend when I met you, it doesn't matter. When me and you started fucking, that was already bad. That was barber. She was like the super, she was at the dark. It doesn't matter. I'm putting me away.

SPEAKER_08 58:51

That is best friends with my ex-nigga side chick.

SPEAKER_16 58:55

But realistically, do you think that was one of the questions that she asked him while they were in the bedroom? Are you best friends? No, but when you get to know somebody, you know they're friends, and that's one of their immediate friends. Off rip, it's like, oh damn, that's your friend. Oh, I know that bitch because she was fucking with my man.

SPEAKER_14 59:10

Like, but I will add, I will add, and no offense to the LBGTQ community. I don't know no nigga that got a girl as a best friend. I don't know no nigga.

SPEAKER_11 59:20

I do I got I got girl best friends.

SPEAKER_14 59:23

I got girl best friends. I know a lot of people best friends. Twitch, you got a girl best friend? Twitch.

SPEAKER_04 59:28

I got like five. I like five. Shout out to all the homegirls. You know y'all, I love y'all. None of them.

SPEAKER_14 59:34

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04 59:34

I'm a homegirl. I love y'all. I love y'all. Hey nigga, you got five girl best friends? I bought them all up here, yeah. You gotta understand, like most of the best friends. Most of the bros is there or in jail. You feel me? I got like, you feel me? Some of the bros is right here, you feel me? But I got mostly homegirls now. You feel me? It's like 10 years. Every girl I brought in here, that's my last question, nigga. Your best friend? Best friends. These are my best friends. I could call them all right now. These are my best friends.

SPEAKER_14 1:00:01

Well, see, in Stefan Diggs' case, that was his best friend. He knew her before Cardi. Cardi already knew the situation. Cardi, hold that L in your head. Get a tatted right there. L. L. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:10

I'm not gonna do Cardi like that.

SPEAKER_16 1:00:11

Yeah, I'm not gonna do her like that.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:15

I would deal with that nigga.

SPEAKER_16 1:00:16

Two make it right. Cardi just tried to get a gift back and it got back, got back to you. Expect a little bit of loyalty. Like, it's I mean, come on now. Just one event. Like, y'all can still be best friends, but like if I'm here and she's like, why like I mean it's the biggest moment?

SPEAKER_15 1:00:36

They were trash.

SPEAKER_16 1:00:38

We all knew they was gonna lose. They were trash.

SPEAKER_11 1:00:41

What do y'all be doing?

SPEAKER_14 1:00:42

What you doing do it, Bella? Hell, holy Dells, Cardi.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:48

Yeah, I like Cardiff. No. So do y'all think that her getting with Stephon Diggs after offset was an upgrade or a downgrade?

SPEAKER_16 1:00:57

It was a downgrade. This nigga got 32. Like allegedly. Which is okay. It's okay, but it's like somebody came out and said that he was trying to touch on him and stuff. Like it's a whole guy that has a whole court case about him. Yeah. We're gonna spend a whole time. So like if you got them, if you have multiple kids by one man and you were married, going from a man with multiple kids to another man with multiple kids is always gonna be a downgrade. Call the whole thing. You should have stayed with the treating, the cheating nigga that you had. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_14 1:01:30

Hold the L Cody.

SPEAKER_16 1:01:32

Baby mother was at the game too with the newborn baby. We had multiple baby moments. Man, I'm boy. Round of applause. They're all the same age.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:48

How the word black is banned on black history month and an HBCU. Would you hear about that? No, I didn't hear about that.

SPEAKER_14 1:01:56

The word black?

SPEAKER_02 1:01:57

Yes, the word black. Yeah, so earlier this month, a law student, Aliyah Stewart at Florida A and M University, said she was told that the word black needed to be removed or abbreviated to BHM on flyers promoting her Black History Month event hosted by the Black Law Students Association. She is go ahead.

SPEAKER_14 1:02:17

Wait, hold on. We gotta rewind that. Rewind that.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:20

So she was posting.

SPEAKER_14 1:02:21

Now wait which school was it again?

SPEAKER_02 1:02:22

Florida A and M University.

SPEAKER_14 1:02:24

And it's an H B C U.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:26

Yes.

SPEAKER_14 1:02:26

And she was doing it with her. Should you say it again?

SPEAKER_02 1:02:30

She was she was making a Black History event with her Black Law Students Association. And she put black history in mind, but they told her that black is banned and it needs to either be removed or abbreviated as BHM. What was the reason?

SPEAKER_14 1:02:46

What was the reason? Yeah, well I gotta know why black was banned.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:51

There's really not even no reason why black was banned. No reason. It's not. The president of the um the university said that it was by uh a staff member.

SPEAKER_08 1:03:02

It was by a staff member and she told me Oh, an individual staff member. Mm-hmm. So it was an error.

SPEAKER_16 1:03:06

So it wasn't like by but that's crazy.

SPEAKER_14 1:03:09

So there's not real, it was just an error.

SPEAKER_16 1:03:11

No, it it's not basically somebody trying to take the initiative and say the law, the DEI law.

SPEAKER_11 1:03:18

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:18

The um the initial so that the explanation given students tied to the issue to the Florida's anti-DEI. You know how they was. Yeah, you know how the funds and stuff they was using public funds to support black.

SPEAKER_14 1:03:33

But what does it have to do with not using the word black?

SPEAKER_16 1:03:35

They're trying to say, I guess, promoting it. Yeah. They was taking it law too seriously, basically.

SPEAKER_14 1:03:39

But it was an error.

SPEAKER_16 1:03:41

No, it was an error. They claimed it as an error, saying it was one person.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:45

After it went viral on social media, they claimed that it was an error. But they like she would complain about like why is black getting banned? Why is it getting banned? And they would not contact her or change anything until after it got viral on social media.

SPEAKER_16 1:04:02

Yeah, because that's something not adding up. I I was finna eat y'all up.

SPEAKER_14 1:04:06

Something not adding up.

SPEAKER_16 1:04:07

I was finna eat y'all up. How dare you? And I, you know, I I I'm not prejudiced. I I don't like nobody. I don't like humans in general. But like, it just some shit just don't be making sense. Yeah, it don't make no sense. Some shit just don't be how you gonna ban a word?

SPEAKER_08 1:04:22

Yeah, and how do you celebrate black history, man, in an HBCU and not use the word black?

SPEAKER_16 1:04:27

Yeah, something add up. Nah, suck my dick. Black history my SMGs.

SPEAKER_14 1:04:33

SPEAKER_02 1:04:35

Um She's a lawyer that's that goes to the school.

SPEAKER_14 1:04:37

Right, and they they the one that put it together.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:39

Yeah, the black, um, the black law student association.

SPEAKER_14 1:04:42

And they put it together, and uh, you said a staff member said that it was an error after all the time. No, the president. The president said it was an error after the word got out that they tried to take the word black off.

SPEAKER_08 1:04:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 1:04:54

Yeah, something gonna add up.

SPEAKER_08 1:04:55

And then she didn't even get to do her event because it got post it got postponed due to her getting ignored.

SPEAKER_14 1:05:00

Yeah, something don't add up. We're gonna we're gonna dive deeper into this and give y'all.

SPEAKER_16 1:16:27

I'm playing it. It's supposed to be playing the audio. I'm I don't know what I can't even hear it.

SPEAKER_14 1:17:57

You made this nigga DM all that and he had your grandmom's off social media. That's crazy. Like you you gotta go out if you can't play, but he had the the grandmom's giving the nigga top. He had the video of that. He had the video of fucking up. I'm like, yo, that's my grandmom's no get back on Facebook.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:14

SPEAKER_14 1:18:15

That was his get back for the nigga, like just hitting him up in the in the DMs because he was like, yo, bro, go away. And the nigga was really persistent in antagonizing the nigga. So he said, I'm gonna get my get back somehow. And he found his grandmom's and fucked his grandma.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:29

You know, he gotta do though too. He gotta fucking grandma's man.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:33

I don't know what a nigga talking about catching a body.

SPEAKER_14 1:18:36

Grandma got grandma What if his grandma not not here?

SPEAKER_04 1:18:40

When his grandma passed, we gotta fuck somebody in this family.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:47

Everybody on the head list. Everybody on the head list after that.

SPEAKER_14 1:18:52

Listen, I was like, yo, this shit is tricky. Because I'm just thinking like that's not even my mom's, that's my grandma's. That's disrespect. My grand that's disrespect. If it was mom's like, okay, you hear cases about mom's. You don't really hear cases about niggas fucking somebody's grandma's and then putting it on Facebook.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:12

That's real good. That's real spirit.

SPEAKER_14 1:19:16

So that was that was my what would you do, my old you do? This nigga know me too.

Triggered On Culture And Care

SPEAKER_16 1:19:27

That's a trip. That's wild. That makes me not want to hop in nobody's DMs. No way. Ever. God. Alright, y'all. So if you don't know, I'ma still her line. Now you gonna know. It's triggered with Lex rated. Lex rated. In this month, week, whatever, we're talking about the difference between societies on the Western side, individual individualistic societies, and the societies on the eastern side. Collectivist societies. Okay, talk about it. Last week, what I talk about, I told y'all that what 250 years ago is when we became independent.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:11

I said it, but yeah, you said it.

SPEAKER_10 1:20:13

You cheated like a motherfucker.

SPEAKER_16 1:20:14

Became independent from Britain only four only 410 years. 410 years since the first person came over here. United States is young. It's like a little kid out here learning everything brand new. So you can see how young this country is in everything that we do and everything that's going on right now. When something goes wrong, we usually ask, what did that person do? Instead of what's happening around them. We see homeless people scattered around LA, and we're saying, Why is all these homeless people out here? Why they ain't get a job yet? Why ain't nobody working? Y'all know how hard it is to get a job being homeless.

SPEAKER_14 1:21:02

Yeah, it's crazy.

SPEAKER_16 1:21:03

Do you know how hard it is to get a job with a home? How you gonna type a resume? How you gonna take a shower to get clean? You can get a gym membership, but how you gonna pay for the gym membership if you're homeless?

SPEAKER_04 1:21:17

They hiring that cheesecake, I swear. I work with a lot of homeless. Buffalo eats, go get a job. It's like they just pick people off the street and just throw them back there with me, I swear.

SPEAKER_16 1:21:27

They're hiring, but where they're hiring, they're not doing enough of it. It's too much judging going on first before there's helping. So I think about like the conversations around money, housing, and work right now. If someone can't get or afford rent, the advice is usually to get another job or budget better. Burnout is treated like a mindset and not a system problem. Everybody's acting like it's normal for people to have more than one job in today's society. Like the average person has a hustle and survival mentality to where if they do not work more than one job or they're not doing more than one thing, they're lazy. They're wasting their time, they need to do more. What about when our parents were telling us to go to college to get a job to make more money? And now you're in debt. But you got a degree. A debt degree. When surviv when survival is framed as a personal choice, empathy starts to disappear. When people look at you and they say that person chose that life instead of what happened to this person for them to be in that situation, empathy disappears. You get blamed for shit that you ain't got nothing to do with on a daily basis. Because I'm gonna talk about mental health and how we talk a lot about self-care and healing, and and you know that's good as far as like a country, but healing is treated like something you're supposed to do alone. Where do you go to seek out help for mental health? I mean, you see the ads on Instagram and YouTube for better help and all these other places, but how do you actually seek out that help? How do you know if your insurance covers that? Do you have insurance? How are we taking care of our mental health? What tips are being spread from one person to the other to take care of their mental health? But they expect you to take care of that. First thing you see on social media is get your shit together, come healed. But this is coming from a person that's not healed, and tell you how to heal yourself and what you need to do, but they're not taking any of that shit into consideration about themselves. Phrases like protect your peace and cut people off or common, even when the problem is bigger than that one relationship. When that problem is internal, when the person is struggling with something that they have been dealing with with years, and this person that they're dealing with right now in this time period ain't got shit to do with it. Community care is rarely a part of a conversation. I don't know too many community groups for mental health, I don't know any support groups where you can go to. I feel like in movies, it's the only time you see a support group. When the last time y'all saw a fucking advertisement for an AA group? Or a fucking uh drug anonymous group. Social, social, social media addiction group. Body dysmorphia. There's people out here that see beautiful people online all day and they hate themselves because they don't look nothing like that. Where are their support groups for that? Real shit. So we've mastered self-care, but we're struggling with showing up for each other. That's what makes us different from the other side of the world. So work culture shows individualism clearly. Hustle culture, side hustles, multiple jobs. If you're exhausted, the advice is usually to do less or optimize your time. Not the system is draining people. It's to get another job. Not figure out why the people are not paying us more in the first place. It's to work harder because other people in other countries are working twice as hard. People tie their worth to productivity. If you're not doing anything, you're lazy. If you're not taking full advantage of all the options that are available for you in the country, you're wasting your time. Success is loud, but struggle is quiet. We don't talk about how people have to split their bills into different payments and payment plans so that they can pay one month's bill.

SPEAKER_14 1:26:00

That's crazy. You heard about to try to put bring a firm out to pay the rent now.

SPEAKER_16 1:26:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 1:26:05

Nasty work.

SPEAKER_16 1:26:06

They got app. Listen, if you listen, I'm gonna put y'all down. If you don't know, there's an app in the app store right now, it's called Flex Rent, and you can use it to pay your rent. It'll pay the full amount, and you pay half up front, and you pay the other half on the back end. There's so many different things out here that's here to help us, but we're not talking about it because it's embarrassing. I was on a cruise not too long ago for my birthday, and we was in a hot tub talking about chime and how we use the uh the spot me payments for chime and the my pay for chime, where chime gives you a little loan before you get paid, and it pays you back, right? And I'm sitting in this hot tub with people that I'm assuming didn't pay for their cruise and payment plans, and they're talking about chime and my pay and and using after pay to pay for certain things. And I'm like, damn, so everybody's struggling. It ain't just me.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:05

The whole thing.

SPEAKER_16 1:27:06

But everybody fucked up, but everybody's acting like there's nothing going on and there's nothing wrong, and we all living our best life. Why?

SPEAKER_05 1:27:13

Yep.

SPEAKER_16 1:27:14

In an individualistic society, rest feels lazy and asking for help feels risky. In collectivist culture, struggles are shared. Families step in, support is expected, not earned. That that lowers your stress over time and overall, because it helps people survive hard times because they know for a fact they're not doing it by themselves, but can also limit your personal freedom. Because at the same time that you out here doing everything for your family, with your family, your family has an opinion about everything you're doing. Hell yeah. They they have something to say and they have something to to stamp on like. Like family family uh rules and traditions. Uh, if you don't be a part of this this uh family function, we're not inviting you to the next family function. If you don't do what I say, I'm not writing you in my will. If you don't come to my wedding, I'm not coming to your birthday.

SPEAKER_14 1:28:17

Take for tact.

SPEAKER_16 1:28:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 1:28:19

Take that.

SPEAKER_16 1:28:20

Or or some cultures, if you don't go to school and become a doctor, I don't care how good you are at singing and dancing and writing. If you don't go to school and become a doctor, I'm disowning you. And it's crazy because every society solves problems and creates others at the same time. Individualism gives freedom but often leaves people alone. Collectivism gives support, but also limits your choice. So the reflection question for this week is when you struggle, do you feel more pressure to fix yourself or to hold everything together and keep it from others?

SPEAKER_10 1:29:01

Hold everything together. I'm always on the other hand.

SPEAKER_16 1:29:07

I'm a little different.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:08

A little bit of both. I got my people I vent too, but all in all, I I dug it out and just figure it out.

SPEAKER_11 1:29:14

Too many people's opinions.

SPEAKER_14 1:29:16

That's being a like normally that's what men are um good at, yeah. Yeah, well, not even good at. That's what we that's we're programmed to do to do that. You know what I'm saying? Um, but yeah, uh it's a little bit of both.

SPEAKER_16 1:29:30

You think that's learn behavior to be programmed to keep it in? I know in the past we spoke about how um my boy said um he was taught not to cry or something about uh You talked about that, yeah. Yeah. So you you think because this is a culture thing and it and it goes back into identity, is it learn behavior to where you see your father's and your father's fathers and and whoever doing it to the point where you don't know any better?

SPEAKER_14 1:29:59

Um, I mean, a lot of this stuff is programmed, just like in school, right? We program and say, go to school, get a job, go to color, go to college, get a job, right? So it's just I I just think like our whole existence is programmed from not I I don't see it it go deep in it. Cause I I'm a I'm a real deep thinker at times. Uh-huh. Um but yes, programmed to actually answer your question. Yes. Everything is programmed. Everything.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:31

I feel like it it uh it boiled down to the person too.

SPEAKER_14 1:30:37

Not the person is programmed.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:39

Ah, cuz like you got niggas, you got you got you got niggas out here who don't have no hustle, who don't have no problem asking the bitch for shit. Like, can I get your car? Can I can I do this? Can I stay over here? Can I do me? And then you got niggas who don't want a bitch nothing from.

SPEAKER_14 1:30:58

Yeah, you feel me? Either side.

SPEAKER_16 1:30:59

You you were programmed or you learn it from either side. So the next question is is those of y'all who have children, what are you instilling or passing along to your children? Are you passing along them to follow the status quo? Because that's not how I was raised. I I was raised to cause chaos. I was raised to do what I want, be what I want, and fuck anybody who doesn't care. And I tried to do that within reason because I also don't I'm smart enough to know that you can't shake the table too much without disrupting shit. So those of y'all with children, are you raising your children to fall in line? Or are you raising your children to step the fuck out the line and take a look at the last generations of people that have been falling in line and following the system and do something different?

SPEAKER_10 1:31:50

Definitely step out of line, do something different.

SPEAKER_16 1:31:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:31:53

Because my family shit.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:54

My kids who artistic.

SPEAKER_10 1:31:55

I let her just line.

SPEAKER_14 1:31:57

I'm not gonna program my child to go to school, get a job. Nah. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, if you feel like school is not for you, then it's not for you. You know what I'm saying? But you gotta find a way to get money because you gotta survive without money.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:10

Sure.

SPEAKER_14 1:32:10

You know, you can't survive without money. You know, so you need it, is it is a necessity, is it essential? You know, but if you don't, if you feel like a job is not your essential way to get money, then do something else. You know what I mean? You can't just can't tell your kids, you can't tell your kid anything and be forceful in your kid with anything because they're gonna grow to resent that. Yeah, you know, like church girls, a lot of church girls is hoes. Because why? Because they say you better not go out here and do that. Hold on, hold on.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:35

I'm a church girl, I ain't no help.

SPEAKER_14 1:32:36

A lot of church girls hoes.

SPEAKER_16 1:32:37

I ain't no help. Thanks.

SPEAKER_14 1:32:38

I say a lot of, I didn't say every church girl.

SPEAKER_16 1:32:40

Yeah, a lot of them are.

SPEAKER_14 1:32:41

A lot of them are a lot of them are because when they grow up, they was programmed to be like, oh, you gotta stay in the house, read the Bible, da-da-da. So they're like, oh my god, oh my god. And then what I see, the other friends going out drinking, they're like, I'm gonna do that, but I gotta stay in this fucking house. So once they grow out, it's over. It's over, it's over. Rest rest they pussy. Amen. But yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:02

Rest they pussy. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't say all.

SPEAKER_14 1:33:10

I didn't say all. I said a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot. But yeah.

SPEAKER_16 1:33:15

So just to close it out for this week, I think there's good and bads on both sides. For me personally, there's good and bads on both sides. I I I love the fact that in collectivist cultures, they're able to help each other and work together and build with each other, and there's this framework that comes with those cultures. I love that. But in individualist cultures, the fact that each individual person has the ability and the free will to be whatever they want and do whatever they want is intoxicating to me. The only problem that I see with this is we're not doing nothing with that freedom. We're falling right the fucking line. That's the problem. And my name is Lex Rated, and this is fucking triggered. Fucking triggered.

SPEAKER_14 1:34:17

That was a great one. Triggered. We like that one too. That was real great.

Words Of The Week Vocabulary Drill

SPEAKER_16 1:34:21

Definitely some stuff to think about. Not this time. She was cheating last week. I was. I was cheating. No, hell no. You know I don't want you to cheat. But welcome back to words of the week, you guys. This is the segment where we dress our vocabulary in silk and we give it some spice. We talk wild and we think deep. So get comfy. Classes in session. There is absolutely no advisory. I feel smart already.

SPEAKER_11 1:34:52

Swish is ready.

SPEAKER_16 1:34:53

He always speaks. He got that.

SPEAKER_10 1:34:54

Everybody in the live. Hey y'all! What up, friends?

SPEAKER_16 1:34:59

Welcome to the words of the week.

SPEAKER_10 1:35:00

You didn't add it, these people. All right.

SPEAKER_16 1:35:04

So the the first word that we're going to discuss today, and don't be cheating, is Imperious. Imperious. It's spelled I M P-E-R-I-O-U-S. And it's an adjective.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:24

I don't know what it means.

SPEAKER_16 1:35:25

Okay, so I'm gonna tell you a little bit about it. It's um derived from a Latin Greek word called Imperium, meaning command, authority, or empire.

unknown 1:35:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_16 1:35:39

So Imperius is derived from Imperium. Do you guys have any thoughts on what this word could possibly mean? Imperium, isn't that like a store, a place you go for things? Imperium?

unknown 1:35:51

Imperium.

SPEAKER_16 1:35:52

It's like a Imperius. I've been to a um, what is it? Uh Euphoria? No. What am I thinking about?

unknown 1:35:59

Total imports. That's an Imperius.

SPEAKER_16 1:36:01

Imperial? Okay. I feel like Imperium. But this is Imperial. You can go to get a bunch of stuff. So Imperius has to be like a jack of all trades, like somebody that can do a lot and or has multiple skills. Okay, I could see that. This what um so imperium means command, authority, or empire. So the definition to it would be commanding, arrogant, or expecting obedience. So because if it's it's an adjective, it's describing someone. So this person is commanding, arrogant, or expecting obedience. Did y'all know that TikTok? You knew that? Well, why you ain't say it then? Do you want to try to use it in a sentence? Can you use imperious in a sentence for me? I'm an imperious. I don't want to. Anyone else in the audience want to um use imperious in a sentence? Imperious. Imperious. Can you give me the definition? One more time. Well, the definition is to be commanding, arrogant, or expecting obedience. When it came to the new teacher that I was meeting today, she had when it came to the teacher that I had today in her course, she was very imperial about her imperious about her position. Imperious I M P E R I O S. And I like that nine. Yes. I like that. Yeah, I like that. I see I thought I was like smart E M P E. I M P E R I O S. I feel like I'm an imperious when I give my segment to the world. I think you are. So here's the thing. She gave it, so I'm gonna put her name and say Lex gave an imperious glance in the room, went silent. You know how she be like, hello, quiet on the set, or whatever. Hello, trigger. Do it again. Quiet on the set. That's not how you do it. I know, I can't. My voice travels. Ah, so the next word that we're gonna talk about today is called. I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna use that one last. So this one is magnimusus. Magnimum. Magnim. What the fuck? Magnemus.

SPEAKER_14 1:38:33

Magnanimous. Magnimus.

SPEAKER_16 1:38:35

Magnanimus. Magnanimus. Yes. Magnanimus. Magnemimus. Magnanimus. Magnanimus. Magnanimus. Google. It's an adjective. So this word is from a Latin word magnus, meaning great. And animus meaning spirit. So magnanimous. Okay. Anyone want to take a quick guess? I feel like my aura is yellow. So I have a magnanimous aura. Okay, I like that. I see where you're going with that for sure. Because it's magnus is great and then spirit. So um anybody else want to take any guess?

SPEAKER_14 1:39:20

I feel like it's uh I feel like it's like you know.

SPEAKER_16 1:39:24

Seven says he feels like it's another word for a lot.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:27

A lot. I feel like it's uh magnanimous. A connection you got with somebody. You you can't help the connection that you have. You're very drawed into somebody.

SPEAKER_16 1:39:35

Okay, that's a good guess, friend. Good guess.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:39

I'm taking mag as a magnet and then magnet.

SPEAKER_16 1:39:44

Magnet magnet. Magniminous. What were you gonna say, Nai? What do you think?

SPEAKER_04 1:39:49

Oh but try.

SPEAKER_16 1:39:50

No, no, no, no. You said magnanimous. So mag being what now? Mag is Magnus is great, and animus is spirit. Great spirit.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:04

Well, yeah, that's what like right. I'm thinking along the lines of like, you know how like outstanding, but more yo sweet.

SPEAKER_16 1:40:13

But then again, I could be so wrong. But like again, along the lines of spirit, it's like to where it's a range of I can't think of the word, but it's like more out there. Okay, okay. I see where you guys are going with this. So the definition to this word is basically to be generous and noble, someone that's um generous and noble, even toward a rival. So when you think of like J. Cole, and he has that peaceful J. Cole. Definitely magnanimous. So that's where that word comes in. So like you'll be nice even to people beneath you. So it's just like I would say, even in victory, she remained magnanimous, proving her power didn't require cruelty. So it's just like I beat you and still love you, type of thing.

SPEAKER_04 1:41:03

Like, you know, that's what I said.

SPEAKER_16 1:41:08

Yeah, kind of like sportsmanship, but honestly, it's more so like you're still gonna be nice, even in you winning. Like if someone else lost and you beat them to the death, you're not gonna be like it's more so like gracious energy, just like sportsmanship. This type of person. This type of person. I'm more that type of person. Not really humble. It's um derived from a Latin word. So when I think of it, I think of like back in the olden times where like people was fighting and stuff, and it's like you fight to the death, but also you're gonna still greet them and you're gonna help them up.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:44

Like, yeah, I guess sportsmanship, but it's like being humble, but also having a level of respect, like, yeah, I did my shit, but at the same time, you also played a good game, too.

SPEAKER_16 1:41:54

So GG Right, but you know that they're beneath you, so it's more so like it's an art of manipulation. Yeah, it's an art, like I know I'm still better, so I'm st I have no choice. I'm still gonna be nice, because what else? Like, you know, manipulation tactic. That one it's in the book. 48 Laws of Power. You you bring people up while also bringing down Oh shit. All right, and this is the last word, it's also an adjective, and this is recalcitrant. What? Recalcitrant, and it's spelled R-E-C-A-L-C-I T-R-A-N-T. What's the root word? The root word is uh recalcitrare. It means to kick back. So the Latin word recalcitrare means to kick back. I have a guess. I have a guess. Okay, come on, come on, come on, come on. I think it's to kick back and relax and and put yourself in like a trance or like a coma where like you just fall into relaxation, something like that. Wait, what's the word again? It's so funny hearing how you guys think of it because a trance. I would probably I would probably go in that route. Recal. Recalce. You know how you have students in the classroom where they're very attentive, and like if you have a person that says, like, hey, everybody sit down, but you got that one student that's like, yeah, they want to be like a class clown, but they're like cool about it. I don't know how to put it in words, but like they're more so like more so when it's like an authority speaking or like a leader speaking, they're just like chill about it. So like more so laid back. Yeah. That that actually was really close. Um, honestly. Does anybody else want to take any guesses?

SPEAKER_14 1:43:46

That was really close.

SPEAKER_10 1:43:48

Recal. So I'm not gonna say nothing.

SPEAKER_16 1:43:49

Recal. The cover ground, cover ground, recal, recalcitrant. So basically, this word is to stubbornly refuse or obey authority or rules. So when they say kick back, it's like meaning like to kick back as enforced, not like kick back or relax, which I would have probably thought too. Like, that's what I'm like.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:11

It's so funny to see different.

SPEAKER_16 1:44:13

But recal as someone who is um stubborn, recalatrant, recalcitrant, stubbornly refusing to obey authority or rules. Does anybody want to try to use it in a sentence?

SPEAKER_14 1:44:23

That's me to it.

SPEAKER_16 1:44:24

And it's an S. That's why I said, yep.

SPEAKER_14 1:44:26

That's me to it.

SPEAKER_16 1:44:28

T I would say anybody born in torse. No, I would I would say I would say anybody born in January and February has a recalcitrant aura about them. Or a recalcitrant trait.

SPEAKER_10 1:44:51

I am a recalcitrance ass nigga.

SPEAKER_16 1:44:53

Yeah, I'm I'm really I'm really fucking up the pronunciation. I got you though. Recalcitrant. Recalcitrant. Recalcitrant. Sarah was very recalcitrant. When the principal told her mother about her actions today. Yeah, Sarah was fucked up today. Today. Sarah would have got her ass up.

SPEAKER_14 1:45:15

SPEAKER_16 1:45:16

SPEAKER_04 1:45:37

SPEAKER_07 1:47:17

I don't know. It's hard not to just get straight to it without just saying, you know what I'm saying? Or this person is recalcitrant. You know what I'm saying? That's that's the best I got for you, especially knowing the definition now. What this person is recalcitrant?

SPEAKER_16 1:47:32

All right, that's what he said. Because it's the adjectives. It is an adjective. So you gotta describe it. I like that word. I would say some people aren't confused. They are just recalcitrant. Like they understand the standard, but they just refuse to meet it.

SPEAKER_14 1:47:46

Understand the standard, but just refuse to meet it.

SPEAKER_16 1:47:48
