minimal ice i was like yo we gonna die yeah we got another that's why they have another um ocean
a [ __ ] yo i keep seeing memes of this [ __ ] it was like yo this can't be the heat that we we
grew up with because this [ __ ] ain't the same like yo this he is something different though
like it was i i don't remember it being this human like i've been to connecticut my entire
life i've visited other places i don't know what the heat like is there this time of year i
kind of do but kind of don't connecticut is where like i know it ain't never been this [ __
] hot dog like it's been like 80 something degrees but the humidity make it feel like 103.

day and a half i'm bouncing i'm okay with that no yeah i'm telling you yo the earth

stop saying that but the earth is [ __ ] up like i don't i don't wanna i mean i don't wanna be alive in 2078 or whatever
[ __ ] 99 whatever yeah i'm calling it by like 20 35 dog all right well that's a little just
right all right well that's that's a lot closer now i feel like you know the [ __ ] earth
that the kids is inhabiting now is just [ __ ] and like i know it was a certain
company that they said they want to do all electric cars like 2025 or something like
that you know they want to reduce emissions but these other white men that don't make cars
don't give a [ __ ] about none of that [ __ ] they all about the bottom dollar what make what make my
world go around we'll put more money in my pocket they ain't gonna stop doing none of that [ __
] they're gonna still feature just processed cancer meat they're gonna still [ __ ]
put all these cars on the road they're gonna still do all this [ __ ] that [
__ ] up the ozone layer and we can't they keep you know they've been saying since
like the early 90s that if you [ __ ] up the ozo land it's gone yeah gone gone it's
you can't repair that [ __ ] they should they they used to put that [ __ ] on on uh
rocco's modern life it was like yeah once you you know what i'm kind of with what you said hey
hopefully i'm gone that's what i'm saying i'm just saying like i'm realistic hopefully i just
isn't i ain't just gonna not be here to uh see it i'm gonna say if if there's a [ __ ] god or
like whatever higher powers out there reborn me as like some [ __ ] that could easily
be eaten i i don't want to be here long now obviously this [ __ ] up it's [ __ ] up
but it was like yo i don't want to be here long dawg like if like when i die and it's like
reincarnation is a thing put me as like a chick a chick like i got i got a shirt i got a short
lifespan like two years max don't put me you'll put me as a rooster i get the [ __ ] [ __ ]
and then when it's my time got my head off oh how was your week uh my week was cool uh
did number work in this intense ass heat um played a little bit of vr that
was fun oh cool uh other than that did some trivia that was fun getting
get in front of large crowds is like nerve-wracking but kind of fun yeah i want to say
because it's like the only reason i do trivia is like to prepare me for doing comedy so when i
like i get in front of the crowd like i ain't [ __ ] [ __ ] on myself it's like i can like
get in front of large crowds like hey these [ __ ] ain't hitting labs you [ __ ] had to
do one thing just like yeah and then if i make them laugh like oh that's an extra but if i do
a comedy club and these things just hit a laugh it makes a little bit easier like i can do
that yeah so that's that's always cool um i mean i've been in the house i've been
trying to get off work as early as possible and it's just not been working i've been
getting all the latest [ __ ] getting home having like two three hours to myself hey
go to sleep so you can do it all over again no [ __ ] the grind i have to quit yeah
that [ __ ] hurts my soul every day if people wonder why i don't talk to people
while i'm at work i [ __ ] hate all y'all i don't like you i don't like
this place it's just not even like well it is kind of like i don't like y'all but
it's like i just don't want to be here as well because yeah it's also the fact that
i've seen how they treat other people whereas like when people are out of work and how
they'll talk about them and just like i don't want to be a part of that fake [ __ ] like yo i know
you don't give a [ __ ] about me if i could if i get fired today ain't none of y'all [ __ ] gonna
call me y'all right like that y'all ain't gonna like you know like oh damn i bet oh you wanna go
get beards after i get out of work today because i know you fired you wanna go get beer like ain't
nobody gonna call me anybody gonna [ __ ] about me man like if i get fired today nobody's gonna call
me nobody's gonna give a [ __ ] so it's like facts i don't really talk to people but i like i
i say i i say hi to who i need to and then that's about it yeah you know i don't
talk to nobody in my job [ __ ] i know one [ __ ] actually you know this was funny [ __ ]

union steward or whatever you're talking about yo go [ __ ] clock out on such and such
and let's go talk to the back i was like they talked to me i was about some [ __ ] and
i'll be like all right i'll go back to work now soon yo so soon as i get in a good space i'm i'll
just [ __ ] on all y'all [ __ ] i'm feeling the same way i'd be coming to work not giving a [
__ ] and that's that's unusual because it'll be [ __ ] like uh like i work at a car dealership and
sometimes it'd be cars going in the morning but everybody leaves and i'd be there by myself right
for like two hours yeah and it'd be this car that'd be going at nine o'clock in the morning and
then [ __ ] get that ace i said you know what i ain't doing that [ __ ] so i just leave i'll leave

like um his monetization from youtube and he it was something he did that was like a minute like
uh two three years ago right it got over like a million views or some [ __ ] like that but he only
got four dollars off of it one of the reasons why it was because of the algorithm like they changed
the algorithm so you can't curse within the first 46 minutes or some [ __ ] like that and they just
they just they just hit the [ __ ] out of you in order to make at least a hundred dollars

[ __ ] the questions we all tired it's late let's [ __ ] knock this [ __ ] out
get this [ __ ] to y'all so we can [ __ ] go so titans of marvel marvel's what if what we
doing first two titans will you do titans yeah didn't watch it didn't finish it you didn't
finish it i nah cause friday oh yeah that's the other thing friday i hope the [ __
] paint the new house a little bit so but how far did you get i watched
him go see a psychiatrist and that was it and then he got thrown
into the pool i think i got that phone oh okay that you didn't miss didn't you miss much so what i watched was uh scarecrow talking to
jason and he gave him some more to happy juice oh well basically the whole episode
it was about uh i'm gonna hold you i i could have watched that [ __ ] but
i've been too busy watching sopranos though one character up there that that's so unauthentic
that it gets on my [ __ ] nerves sylvia he is so [ __ ] fake yeah he was so [ __ ] stereotypical
as a [ __ ] italian out of everybody in that [ __ ] show him it's like yo if you just x him
off he always got that [ __ ] look then the robber near look like like i mean you know i can't i
can't wait until we do these [ __ ] uh sopranos breakdown it's two characters i can't [ __ ] stand
you know like cannot stand for the life of me uh but yeah the titans right uh basically
the whole episode was about it was like a flashback episode of how he came to be what he
was and one of the things was you know it was it was pulling from the second season when uh you
know deathstroke kind of inflict fear into him but beating his ass and [ __ ] like that so he was
like kind of that [ __ ] yeah he pushed him out he just threw him off the uh roof and he was scared
from that yeah yeah so this [ __ ] was upset uh he went home and i guess i get wait was that
around the time i cuz i forgot what happened at on the second season didn't dick don't um push
him away or some [ __ ] something like that because he was with uh homegirl yeah being like
he's being tough on a lot of [ __ ] sorry but he's being like a little he yeah so yeah so they
was just like sort of beeping um i just know i just know that he went because i guess he was he's
um acting erratically so bruce is like hey man you gotta go see my psychiatrist because you're
acting wild wild and he's like i don't do it and then i guess when talking to her she happened
to have been a victim of scarecrow yes yes yeah so after have talking to her he kind of was like
i don't know he got the idea in his head to like betray batman for whatever reason like i don't
that's what i'm saying i don't really like it's like whatever bro so he went to go see
crane and crain was like yo i'll help you reverse engineer this toxin to take away fair which it
did end up being that's what we were talking about last week he's like you're going to do that uh
but in order for you to do that you're right give me all the secrets of batman basically between
batman i didn't like that [ __ ] and then i guess as a test to see like they're canon i guess he's
working on a formula so i'm doing that and i guess the final one of the final version of the formula
he's like alright just to test it to see how it works you're gonna go go fight joker so then he
did go and fight joker and joker really did kill that [ __ ] yeah i think his face was all off yeah
he's smashing the whole [ __ ] in and he showed it yeah and then um i guess in the an arkham asylum
there's like a lazarus hitting there for whatever [ __ ] reason it's convenient as [ __ ] i'm
like i know come on man really and corinne has access to it and he knows about it so i was like
all right well i guess and then he goes jason and then and he comes now he's reborn he's like now
you're gonna be the new symbol of gotham and then i stopped watching yeah that [ __ ] was it was
like plot convenience it's like you mean to tell me this [ __ ] pit is just sitting here nobody
knows about it but your ass yeah i thought roz was gonna show up or something like he's like what the
[ __ ] plus he got plus he had like a whole like laboratory room that he just had and nobody
knows about that he's just doing something like i said this argument where the one place you
believe [ __ ] because joker gets out every other week yeah why wouldn't he have a secret room
that's lazarus painted it that [ __ ] don't know about why the [ __ ] not yeah but yeah that's
just great well yeah after that um he took a shot of the [ __ ] he took a shot of the [ __ ] on the
fear the anti-fear of toxins something like that and then yeah yeah then he started uh going to
work on [ __ ] so it was it was a it was a time where it was one of these dudes who actually
worked close with the joker i think remember remember the um the dude that was sitting on the
car and then uh jason was uh talking to this chick and he was like yo we bout to run down to the
dude right quick and then like he put the gun to his head he got scared and he just got pissed
and got [ __ ] up oh was that in this episode yeah yeah it was this episode and he got [ __ ]
up and then uh that that's why he even went the um crane because he was like yo i'm too scared to
do anything like i just froze and got my ass beat like this [ __ ] that [ __ ] ain't working
so uh he ended up finding him again after he was red hood and just don't work that [
__ ] like yeah so uh but it's see see this is when i'm kind of this is when the
story is getting kind of deluded because it's like he's not he's
not really a bad guy but then you killed hank but i kind of understand because
he was on the field toxins he was like you're not in fear of consequences of nothing like that so
you just did it but yeah it's it's still kind of confusing because with the chick he was being
nice to her but it's i don't know it's kind of weird to me i'm i'm also gonna assume that
crane is doing something funky to that formula and it's probably making him susceptible like mind
control by cream is what i think is going to end up probably being because he's the one who made
the formula and jason ain't no [ __ ] chemist so you don't know what the [ __ ] is inhaling he's
just doing drugs and it's a dumb ass maybe he has iv toxin in it or something i'm sure it's gonna be
something like that where he wrote it up so that he'll only listen he'll listen to crain's orders
and be more yeah you know if he has iv toxin i'm sure it's going to be something along that
kind of line yeah we'll find we'll find out but yeah yeah because i think um was it this season
where um somebody somebody had something like that when it was mind-controlling people but
it looked it looked kind of like ivy toxin oh was that last season um homeboy can
like teleport into other people's bodies and he was controlling people um i don't
know but it gotta be i i'll be talking to you whoa he died didn't he oh did it a slave
son oh in the bodies wait did he die i kind of swore he jumped to the
slave's body and they killed him oh because it wasn't um wasn't dick like all sad about it and [ __ ] yeah yeah but that was basically the whole
episode after uh he came out of this yeah crane's definitely doing something i don't
know what he's doing yeah i don't know okay all right so uh marvel's what if episode three season
one i don't know if there's a season two or three in the works or it's been renewed already
but you know season one we got that for now yep yeah um this is what if we lost all of avenger
all of marvel's strongest heroes or the avengers team basically yep so um i did see this and
um i ain't gonna hold you until they killed uh no until they killed um clint i was like what
the [ __ ] is happening and then when they killed clint i was like all right i get it now like it it
didn't take that long when they when they killed iron man i was like what the [ __ ] is
happening when they killed thor i was like what the [ __ ] is happening when they go clean
i was like you gonna tell me this [ __ ] air type somebody like he just died i was
like all right this got to be [ __ ] hank i i didn't figure that out until they revealed it i was like yeah now
i figured that out matter of fact when he shot that [ __ ] in the arm i was like
that's not the last thing that arm shot like hope hulk's skin doesn't get penetrated and this [ __
] got shot i don't give a [ __ ] this bruce banner or not hope if he didn't got if he got shot and
turned into hulk he'd have popped that bullet out this [ __ ] was still in there and then the [ __
] at the right time the [ __ ] squash wound that [ __ ] hit him with that what was that [ __ ]
that blade hit that [ __ ] wit hit [ __ ] right man [ __ ] [ __ ] bubbled up or whatever serum and
[ __ ] i never hit him with that blade in a dope and they go [ __ ] and then i was like
how canon is this because has no one ever figured out how to kill the hulk except
the smartest man and one of the smartest men in the [ __ ] galaxy how do you get to his heart
normally if you can't get inside his body so he's telling me nobody in the okay so everyone in the
galaxy is knowing of hulk right i assume right kind of really ends not really he's uh
if he fought a [ __ ] harlem and then and then he fought some giant aliens in the sky i
mean if you have impenetrable skin and if you're a human man that has been exposed to gamma rays and
they don't know how to kill you i'm pretty sure someone that's a bad guy unearthly probably
figured out hey well also this takes place before avengers 1 so this would only be his first
move like after the first movie where he fights [ __ ] harlow and he fights abominations and then
yeah you're right it's not like mad people know him he never gets a chance to [ __ ] get his ass
be and then exactly none of the thanos [ __ ] so none of that so this is before any of that
could happen so nah blew his heart up [ __ ] so basically this was an episode of like what what
if we lose our uh our heroes or whatever so it starts off that uh what the [ __ ] all right
man nick fury and um black widow are recruiting the avengers now right so they meet at the diner
with a tony stark and then tony stark gets uh they so it was after iron man won and tony
has the thing in his chest or whatever so they want to slow down the [ __ ] uh the stuff that's
actually killing them so they give them a shot the neck and iron man one it slows down on this [ __ ]
going through his body but and then [ __ ] what if she just straight up kills them no that's not what
happened so this is for this is so um iron man to store incredible hulk and i guess maybe i don't
know about um captain america but anyway those three movies all take place technically
like within the same week span of time yeah um so like canonically in the movies so um so
obviously what what's brother you got this so what happens is the the villain ends up being hank pym
so what happened yeah so uh the original ant-man because his daughter died and he's
mad about it because he i guess this is his daughter daughter so that's that's why
he's wilding out his daughter so i guess in this the the nexus event here is like she ends up
she somehow ends up being um an agent of shield and she's dying she's a guy for whatever reason
so he's mad so what he struck down and so when she was because in iron man 2 the the [ __ ] he
has in his heart was poisoning him and whatever so what they had done in the original movie was
they shot him something to like sort of slow down yeah counteract it but i guess he backstep pretty
much but in this i hank i guess he shrunk down and did something to kill so the whatever they had
in there didn't even get in his body so like he just didn't entered his body and killed the [ __ ]
and then he uh made it so that clint shot an arrow through thor's heart when thor was a human still
on earth he died and then i thought i thought that was stronger than that dog well he was human at
the time yeah he was human when he got transferred because this takes place during one when odin was
mad at him and he yeah unworthy yeah mirror was on uh yeah he was a human and [ __ ] so then
when he got shot through the heart he died then after he did that he killed clint somehow
because you know he's a human he chunked down this thing was shrink down and sneak under the little
air airtight seal thing getting his [ __ ] i don't know what he did to his [ __ ] head but
he went through his [ __ ] earlobe came out yeah [ __ ] [ __ ] his whole brain up choked his aorta
out or something um medulla oblongata you feel basically he's just going around killing
all the avengers because he's mad um but then because they killed thor loki
shows up on earth because like kill's brother and he basically at the end of everything he's
like i like this plan i'm gonna take it over so then now they're gonna now so now nick fury's
alive and he's like well we gotta do something new so he he used the pager earlier than he he used in
the canonical mcu which you should have used when the [ __ ] giant real things came out the portal
but that's a good question but anyway so captain marvel was gonna show up and then who else was
there that they had today i forgot there's some other [ __ ] that was gonna because basically
it's gonna be their new version of avengers to take out loki i forgot who the other person yeah
it was captain america no it was it was marvelous marvel was somebody i can't remember who
else was there at the end i don't know i know captain marvel showed up um because
black widow died yeah black widow died hulk died thor died clint died because the
other person was in the car right who's in the car the other person and then captain
marvel showed up showed up outside the car i'm talking about okay so where's the fight yeah
yeah yeah yeah who the [ __ ] is in that car i don't know i don't know yeah [ __ ] plus it's
late this is why they don't love us as blurs man write down notes or nothing yeah
we don't probably should start but that's that's a good point
but i'll just be watching [ __ ] then we try to remember it off the rip and then
three weeks later yeah [ __ ] stupid [ __ ] these [ __ ] like it [ __ ] them yeah um the three episodes where does this one rank better than the first one no
you're gonna touch the challah one all right so we going three two one i mean two
two three one yes okay but it was good to see like uh how um showing ant-man could actually be
kind of an effective killer in a different way with prep time i guess with prep time and make it
better killer which is cool it was captain america yeah you're right [ __ ] i mean that's kind of
all you need right no [ __ ] you need somebody worthy and one of the strongest avengers ever
think about that he could pick up me oh yeah that's season two you need and then they can win
the soldier because he could he could be the new captain america oh all you need doggy and and then
i don't know where which nexus event but the child is still around you can get that [ __ ] too so
what you need dog is mad when you're here likes i'm trying i'm trying to see if nah that's
probably the thing i was trying to see if all this is within the same universe you know
what i'm saying yeah i don't know or is it separate separate that's you know that's one
thing i don't no that's that's what uh jeffrey wright said he was like yo i'm i'm the the [ __
] overlooker of all this [ __ ] in this like mad different timeline so this is why it's what
if no it has to be different yeah it's only only timelines only because peggy carter
didn't get frozen she got totally oh yeah yeah because you got captain america right
you're right yeah yeah only because of that yeah so so it's different you think they
purposely put this afterload after loki yes they had to like they have to have to like
because this only exists because of logi i mean okay like if we're talking about canonically
yeah i mean multiverse yeah you could like oh here's just a cartoon or dumb [ __ ] and
like i mean you don't know you have to make it canon but you could just make like the offshoot
of just like some fun [ __ ] like hey we're having fun what if yada yada they can do whatever the [
__ ] they want at this point like they they got it they heard that [ __ ] [ __ ]
they they got me [ __ ] yeah they have what ups all the time though it's
usually interesting like the the best what if i seen that was kind of wild was the [ __ ]
old man logan that [ __ ] was crazy because [ __ ] uh bruce banner was was he got some
yeah kids like because he was [ __ ] like his he [ __ ] his cousin he [ __ ] she-hulk and they
made kids and then them [ __ ] was like bushwicks that [ __ ] was crazy though that she was crazy
i was like what i ain't got that many choices and i'm feeling yeah she was the only
one you can shoot the club up with but it was crazy how they how they described it it
was like you can't he can't ejaculate in anybody else because his [ __ ] is radiation so so i was
like yeah just like somebody gotta take it like he takes my stroll no we're not doing it that's what
happened i was like what why are we saying that when bobby did it whatever we'll take the stroller
he said he got some new kids you could say [ __ ] you see you put the hand up and all that
there's some incense babies that's what you got oh yeah we now we're moving on topics let's go

__ ] [ __ ] up yeah this is why they hate us that's part of it y'all i'm fine with where it

season five i'm gonna watch season four yeah yeah i haven't watched season three then
that's what i'm talking about yeah yeah they say renewed it for season five before you four even
came out so yeah yeah i gotta finish season three miguel is an [ __ ] yeah yeah i like the writing
in the movie because it'll be like it'll be rooting for the good guys because it makes fun
of himself it doesn't take herself that serious which i kind of like i needed to i need to do
the first two seasons that it did not this third i don't think you got to the part yet you yeah the
school fight we broke his back oh okay you know that's a two finale okay so in season three he
was he was crippled yeah he was season two he got out the hospital he was just a [ __ ] his
back ain't working me yeah but i got to like if there's like 12 episodes in the [
__ ] season i got to maybe like five because that don't work so he's out the
hospital um his sensei you know his miguel's mom don't [ __ ] with the sensei because you
literally get [ __ ] up let his back get broken you ain't though man come on man i mean i'm
saying let me taste that again sure damn i think the funny thing in that
whole series was uh when johnny when johnny was explaining to miguel why he don't
like daniel and the way that was explaining it i couldn't see his point [ __ ] new kid come
out just steal my [ __ ] girl [ __ ] it get up i got that dirt [ __ ] outta here man i love
her nah that's funny like that's um i don't know if y'all ever um seen how i met your mother
before but um um doogie houser his character like loved that movie like in the show he
loved that movie and he was like but his favorite character was zabra because he's like
he's the good guy in the movie because there's like some dude just trying to take my girl and
he didn't and like start beating me up and then like i forgot i think he like hit him with the
holes or something he did some something to him but like from his perspective it's like then
he's just an [ __ ] yeah my girl [ __ ] and i was trying i'm trying to defend myself
from some [ __ ] just trying to take my girl so i was like some people like [ __ ] without
you yeah okay uh eddie murphy and jonah hill will become comedy's next big duel in kenya barriss's
netflix comedy believe it um a few questions right yes when is eddie murphy going back on the road
he might be in the room right now who knows it's hard he might be trying to shut out
like local comedy club something like that yeah i don't know about actually
like i want i want like a tour now it's like a dave chappelle tour
like announcement oh yeah yeah um is that more of a um is that more of a challenge for
eddie murphy or jonah hill eddie murphy eddie murphy's comeback wasn't the best but
he's still eddie murphy i want to believe that like his core but jonah hill and eddie
murphy that's like jonathan hill got to really step up to the plate is it is that more of a
tough eddie or jonah i think neither i think so like if he comes because they're doing so
obviously they're gonna be doing something fresh the coming to america thing was an issue because
you're basically off of the original coming to america and it's 20 years later right if he just
came in and just did a different movie and maybe we wouldn't have the same uh reaction to what
happened on screen but just because it's tied to the original coming to american people more
whatever that but i would say it'd probably be more on eddie just because jonah's been active
this whole time so he's you know he had that goal and eddie hasn't been doing so much stuff right
so i put it more on eddie i mean are you guys excited about eddie murphy and jonah hill comedy
rit okay eddie murphy and jonah hill comedy but written by kenya barris are you all excited about
that well i don't hate candy barrels like other people do so i'm fine i don't hate him it's just
he seems really hacky like really like predicted well yeah he seemed like hacky predictable
and like borderline corny yeah so i yeah i guess i don't hate money yeah so i don't so for
me it's like i've never really watched blackish or mixes i gave i watched like an episode of that
shitty on netflix like if that and i was like oh it's grown-ish i haven't watched any of that [ __
] so i have no frame of reference for any of that okay yeah so to me it's just like oh he's
just some guy who does [ __ ] so i don't know enough of his work to like have a i guess
negative or positive opinion on the work he does i didn't the netflix show was like this is
whatever but i never like finished it so um so maybe that might be a uh implication of how i
feel because i like it enough to finish it stuff i'm just going off of uh cause because he wrote
coming to america too so yeah i didn't love that either yeah i didn't either it was a lot of [ __
] that was dated in there and it was like um on fleek i was like what the [ __ ] these don't
say that no more at all all right all right didn't he have a show he had a show right yeah yeah netflix i was talking about
the show yeah this [ __ ] would um well maybe because of his acting his acting's like
really bad it's like yeah he could have he's not an actor you could ask herself you should have got
somebody else to probably yeah play him yeah but don't be ditty all the videos acting i mean
diddy was good in um getting to the greek i liked him oh yeah yeah that's funny cause he
was just an [ __ ] he was just complaining he was just being an [ __ ] because it was kind of
funny he was like i'm mine [ __ ] you right now you see me [ __ ] mine yeah you feel me [ __ ]
your mind i'm to the ground outrun me i am black okay uh jurassic park star says he was quote
unquote very bitter about the movie for years yeah bd1 um henry wong the asian duke the asian
guy who was a scientist in the book oh okay the character is um more of a major player in the
books and in the first film they kind of just have him in there and then he never comes
back up they because he made it to the cops extinct somehow escaped the island i don't
think they just got rid of him and so he was like a little bitter like oh his character kind
of got a short swift and then he didn't really get a fair shake until they did the reboot stuff
later on that this character came back out shut up fell that way but i mean if glenn don't feel
away i don't want his [ __ ] from nobody glenn i'm [ __ ] walking dead for at least
another two seasons before nikki came no i mean it wasn't in the comic books that's how it
goes though no i mean it it that's how it goes but they could at least stretch the story out where
he could have been on their elite because like the part where negan comes they kind of like hurry
that along like [ __ ] like if you want to follow the books like the comic books chronologically and
what happened [ __ ] don't come along for a while and you could have had [ __ ] uh glenn there
for like at least another two seasons and they just said hey we need like everybody
talking about when the [ __ ] is negan come they just had to put that in there and it was
like i know when negan come glenn died right yeah then glenn had to get the shoulder to stick
so if glenda oh i mean i guess you can't okay cool claire had to go [ __ ] he had to go he had to
have eye pop out yeah clint claire glenn ross man um lion king prequel cast young mu foster
scar james earl jones not returning which is expected for me i guess because why
would james jones be playing like a young mufasa yeah this is actually what i wanted
from like um the first movie who is playing is i agree with you i just don't know better enough
i mean i would like y'all yeah i'm doing my team i mean he's popular right now so i don't see
him i need to get me [ __ ] um uh what is it aquaman 2 aquaman oh he's back for that yeah he
you see the pictures then you got mad buffy i'm are you going to see candy man am i i
mean do y'all want to watch candyman i mean i think we kind of have to i mean
i'll watch it i feel like we have to because that's our only black like villain horror guy i
watch it i wasn't planning on it but it wasn't and now because i was too scared it just
wasn't something i was planning on watching have you ever said candy man in
the mirror yeah i've never done it listen sometimes it's one of the things i
know i'm not real but i don't want to test yeah what's that same thing with bloody mary just
like you know it isn't it's fine listen sometimes it's okay to just not do [ __ ] some things you
know white men draw up and i'm like you know what i don't know this white man's intentions maybe
he could be trying to get us i don't know i don't know what the [ __ ] i'm unlocking
with these uh words in unison in pattern i don't know all right i'm gonna just mind my
own black ass business and then do what i'll do azareth metrion xentos i don't know what that
does [ __ ] could open somewhere i don't know uh john cena understands why dave bautista doesn't
want to work with him and why is that because he doesn't want to be associated with any wrestlers
like dave bautista is taking this a lot serious then i'd say even the rock like he really
wants to be like on some thespian [ __ ] yeah like he really wants to be i mean but i guess dave
bautista doesn't have the resume that the rock has because at this point dave petit so yeah i mean
yeah yeah i mean he's he's on his way there but when david teased to stop wrestling and got into
movies as of right now david teases it may be what six movies from what i knew of he's been a
lot more than i think actually a lot more movies he's been in a couple of movies like
straight to dvd no he's been in some in between i mean you got you got what buster guardians
you got avengers you got netflix movies you got maybe some not so popular movies yeah i mean the
rock did a tooth fairy movie he did mad movies before he got to where he's at now i guess he can
be associated with john cena and not take a hit i forgot he was inspector that double seven movie
yeah he was a mad ship yeah some d some some straight to dvd [ __ ] final score he was in blade
runner escape plan runner yeah yeah you're gonna be in dune he's gonna be in the iron that um he's
in thor loving thunder wait ain't the rocking doom oh don't doon d-u-n-e not doom not that not that
[ __ ] dune is some new [ __ ] that's coming out that everybody's making a rave about it off the
books that's supposed to be good though i don't know when it's coming out but yeah uh don't
you don't guys in day and moon night in it yeah yeah so when that's supposed to come out
i thought it's supposed to come out this year it's supposed to go you know
negative it's it still says 2021 yeah i think it ms it's supposed to
be out this month if i'm not mistaken yeah it's supposed to come out
soon but we'll see what happens in august yeah he's been in the couple my point
being is most of them straight to dvd [ __ ] though yeah or just not they're not guardians of
the galaxy level he's been in some [ __ ] yeah yeah but you know but he crowd seriously yeah
he's taking it it's just funny because uh it's just how everything comes this full circle
like everybody every wrestler that wants to be an actor goes to the rock and he gives him the
vice and then he just [ __ ] take the [ __ ] off yeah he's like hey man take the [ __ ] serious and
then you'll be serviced yeah yeah serious workout you're mad for no reason oh yeah i do i do see
dave batista taking roles that are different than john cena and the rock they're more serious
and like character driven he doesn't want to get he doesn't want to get lumped in he has the
action star the big buff like he's the buff yeah but he can do other but he can do films where
that's not the main focus of the kid no yeah you can't be that buff look at my muscles well he
just i guess he's not just trying to do the arnold schwarzenegger route you know like the big buff
like oh let's do the pacifier or some [ __ ] that you're just not trying to be another yeah yo have
you ever watched that movie with dave batea saying like the little girl where uh i guess he was
like a secret agent and she was like in school or some [ __ ] that's just like the pacifier i
know what you're talking about though the chick was talking [ __ ] yeah yeah yeah i forgot i
forgot the name of the movie that might be his tooth fairy yeah they only they all gotta go
through that hopefully that's a whole few like [ __ ] arnold schwarzenegger what was that [ __ ]
with the kids and he's like stop shut up shut up that's crazy yeah i'm not i'm not i'm not mad
at batista yeah i kind of like him as an actor yeah he's pretty cool um gaming news
uh xbox series x and s and xbox one getting cloud gaming this holiday mm-hmm
how do you feel about that is that free oh yeah yeah yeah if you got a game pass
well yeah you got that looking looking it's free it's free them everything's
free if you want because you need gay pass ultimate is what they say okay so yeah i
already got that so it doesn't matter for you well you you got it too right yeah but okay i'm
talking about the [ __ ] that don't well get it i think it's worth it at this point you get
enough [ __ ] you get mad [ __ ] way more yeah you get uh what what is what is coming out
um hey they might have [ __ ] halo up there no you know mike i'm pretty sure this ain't no
mic yeah i think anything i think they've been made statement when they're saying i think most
other anything they own first party is going on game pass day and date i'm like
98 certain yeah did we good then there you go uh imagine clang rips a riff
aparts rifts could have easily been done on ps3 says traveler tails game founder
yeah i feel like i hate him yeah definitely i could have did that yeah yeah i mean when
did the first rating well not the first ratcheting claim but when did the uh new gen
wrestling play come on like ps the three ps4 that was the ps4 that not like the one before the part was repeated i know it was working oh
yeah they had one on ps4 yeah just came out like three years ago or something like that yeah
and and if you got playstation plus i think you could down oh i don't know if you can still
now but you could have downloaded that free oh yeah that's that's definitely hate yeah
he's saying that uh you don't need the uh pf ps5 ssd to achieve the roof mechanic which i'm
not really that in tune with it but i think that [ __ ] would be in order to do that it would have
to be some serious [ __ ] loading time that that or something i'm pretty sure you could do it
but it would be a [ __ ] drawback if you do yeah but i think yeah i'm sure so yeah he might be
right on a technical standpoint you could probably achieve that effect on that older technology but
i think with the solid state driving makes it so it makes it so that it loads so fast and there's
no lag there's no issues and you can do that plus plus i think graphically the rest of the game
looks immaculate too yeah i i don't have a ps5 and i haven't played the games i don't really
know that for a fact i believe that's some of the things that some people were saying so i
think you add all that together and it's like nah we need that solid statement i kind of
understand what the traveler tells dude is talk about but the way they described it how they did
it it's not like the world that they're jumping into it's not the same world it's a completely
different it's a completely different [ __ ] yeah it's generated in somewhere else it's not like
the same [ __ ] like you just like let's say if you made the stage right in this parallel then all
right the riff is right here here's the next level that's not how they did it it's literally like
cut cut like that and that's how they do it so yeah i mean you could have done it but it
wouldn't have been the same yeah and it's like seamless so yeah you're loading up two game stages
at the same time and yeah you drop them in between autumn sets without lag without loading time
all that [ __ ] so you know yeah stop eating um dr disrespect says he's suing twitch over band
yeah yeah um i don't know how that's gonna go though i mean unless he has legitimate evidence
over why he was banned and it's not the sexual allegations that we have heard if it's something
that you know is just it could be a money thing and like the sexual allegations could be a rumor
we don't know but for him to sue it has to hold some weight where he knows like y'all [ __
] disa [ __ ] yeah in the article it says i guess he's streaming on youtube or whatever he
streamed he was saying that he's gonna assume and i guess he he knows what he was banned for
obviously he didn't probably he did not again go into detail because obviously he's gonna have a
lawsuit so he's not gonna go into details about what it is but i'm guessing at least from
him stance is [ __ ] and it's probably not necessarily what people were thinking was over so
he must have some type of grounds for something and he's gonna sue him like he wouldn't be like oh
no i [ __ ] up i'm still gonna i mean some people would but i don't think he's gonna he might really
have a case or at least his version of a case whether he wins or not something different but
i'm assuming that's been some [ __ ] [ __ ] he's like that about time [ __ ] um uh nickelodeon's
all-star brawl adds april o'neil and cat dog you say what i see you skip yeah let's get the
topic oh what to do oh twitch streamers are boycotting the site for a day to protest hate
raids [ __ ] that's the thing this is stupid it's been a problem people have been raiding
people and slurring them out this is this is uneffective and [ __ ] stupid sucks right
when i make affiliate now i got a boycott congrats but this is stupid because so so for everyone not
on twitch or know what the [ __ ] hate rate is so right it's it's one king loser right so it's a
loser who happens to want to make content right and then he gets online and he forms a
community with other loser [ __ ] that he that assume that they're like him so then he builds
this big ass community of like loser minions right and then one day the king loser like loser leader
says hey you know what we can do because we're [ __ ] and losers in real life we're gonna go make
someone else feel bad we're gonna go make them feel bad because they have less followers because
they're black they're women they're gay they're trans whatever the [ __ ] we're gonna
raid them with either i think it's from like a thousand followers to like 1500 i've seen
like at the most and we're gonna go raid them with slurs so send them over there all right
yeah you're fat you're gay you're transgender [ __ ] you're [ __ ] [ __ ] get in the kitchen
blah blah all that [ __ ] right they do all that [ __ ] and then uh i guess the people getting the
raid like oh they're thankful for the raid but then when the messages when the spam messages
come obviously it [ __ ] up the day because a lot of people just can't take that kind of like
onslaught of [ __ ] and i i think it's admirable that they're doing this but it's also kind of
dumb because it doesn't really affect anything what no also said they're doing it because twitch hasn't done anything to stop the
stuff from happening so it's less about that it's happening and that i understand that
like setting up protection so that it doesn't happen or that there's no or seeming to be no
repercussions for it to have happening so they're like well i mean you're not like doing anything
to protect us you're not doing anything to like make it so okay this happened and then we
could have a process to ban this person so they can't do that again it's like it
just happens keep happening i saw somebody uh just today they had retweeted something
twitch had tweeted on like the 11th of twitch saying oh we see that this happened and then and
i think he was like today he's like i got um he's uh rated three times today like so like you're
not doing anything so like you're saying that you recognize there's an issue but you haven't
done anything to like protect us from this issue so i understand the source like okay well
if you're not gonna protect us we're gonna not use your [ __ ] and i mean obviously it's a
one day boycott thing it's just a show to power like because the power it's the same thing with
only fans how they backpedaled on getting rid of the pawns like well we need them hoes if you get
rid of all the creators well we need them hoes too so a show of force like oh look you're not
helping us we're just leaving go somewhere else without us you got nothing yeah
but my thing is like the people that are participating in the day off of twitch
the quarter the hashtag day off of twitch right the doing it one day doesn't really affect
anything that i don't i yeah i don't know i kind of want to compare it to like george
floyd but like hear me out right so say if like what happens happens with george floyd and [ __ ]
protest for a day what is a day really doing like are you are you really expecting effective
change for you protesting getting out there using your voice using your platform for a day
and then going back to like oh that's that day then that day did nothing we're just going back to
the regular schedule program and like i feel like with them getting off a twitch for a day doesn't
really do anything because what's gonna happen is well what's what's happening is the people that
are gonna be off twitch for a day they probably weren't gonna stream that day anyway they're
not losing any revenue they're not losing any subscribers they're not like losing anything so
it's like if you take that day off for twitter you're only going to stream some other day that
week and you know what's going to happen they're going to get auto subscribers that they probably
missed that day off of twitch they're going to get that same payout the next day and i feel like
what people are doing doesn't really matter at this point and like if you
wanted to make effective change if you're really worried about hate raise and your
friends getting hate rated or like lesser creators or creators of color creators of this background
or whatever are getting like discriminated against you wouldn't make a stand like hey we'll leave
twitch for a week will we twitch for a month we'll just flat out leave twitch and go somewhere
else but you know why these people really don't give a [ __ ] because like that affects their
bottom dollar they're not gonna they have all their eggs in one basket i feel and they're
not gonna completely boycott twitch because if if you really gave a [ __ ] about this you would
just leave twitch it was like yo my friends the creators that that have you know whatever
reason they're being hate rated bid you know they had they don't have as many followers
they're black you know overweight this whatever they identify with this whatever you would
just leave twitch and go somewhere else you're not really affecting twitch's bottom dollar by
leaving for a day i say yes i say yes and no so here's the thing there's no one saying that
they won't necessarily completely boycott twitch but i think maybe this is the and also i do think
there's bigger creators who are doing it so it's not just the small creators and it's not saying
that but it's just like they're not going to leave permanently it's just okay so if you're saying
you don't want to get off a twitch a whole 20 24 hours off of twitch that's cool because what's
gonna happen is you're gonna stream so say if like tim the tatman pokemane uh ludwig all them [ __
] say hey i'm not streaming this day and they go stream the next day hey i stood in solidarity
with y'all i'm part of the movement yay me i'm a big creator and i stood with y'all and they just
get all that [ __ ] that they missed on wednesday on thursday or friday what if that's just my thing
is what that's just to start well if they just do the day because i think it's less about what's
going to do to the bottom line and just to show twitch maybe like hey look we're kind of serious
we're not going to use your thing because then once because it's less about them losing money
more about twitch loads of money because once twitch stops starts losing money they're not going
to care but they're losing money for a day for the start and then and then because i mean obviously
i know i understand what you're saying i'm not disagreeing with what you're saying but what i'm
saying is maybe it starts with a day and then if they do the day and then nothing significant
happens for that then maybe they're like we'll do a week and then we'll do two weeks or do three
or maybe we'll just leave twitch all together like you're not gonna think well i can't say yes
or no one way because i don't know but no i can okay so i don't i don't know if you really like
dive into like the analytics of [ __ ] right so you know i don't know if you know but like yeah
i'm pretty sure you've seen like either somebody on twitch try to like promote their youtube
channel or something like that right then you go over and check the youtube and it's just not
as many subscribers as it is on like their other channel right so like it's like it's like one
percent that was you know so it's kind of hard to move [ __ ] from one platform to another right so
if someone says hey i'm quitting twitch i'm moving over here yeah if they were having to do that
they would lose if the article i said is correct they will lose 60 to 85 percent of their revenue
right and if people make this their like full-time things if this is their full-time gig you're not
gonna you're not gonna compromise your revenue for a year year and a half two years for you to gain
another audience all because you wanna stay in solidarity with a couple [ __ ] getting hate rated
every now and then but the thing is if enough people do it then the twitch will have no choice
but to fix their issue and then they'll come back um and you're right but uh and you're also right
about that because um in terms of that uh doctor disrespecting in the article he was talking
about how because i guess now he only streams predominantly on um youtube or whatever hell he
makes like a court he makes like a quarter of his profit that he's making while he's on twitch which
is part of the reason why he's so easy exactly that's great yeah so um so i don't disagree
with that i just think what else i mean they got to start somewhere and this is a thing to do
and i don't know if i agree with it i don't even know if it's the right idea but i understand why
they're doing it i'm not mad but you're right it might just be like oh yeah we did it and then they
go back onto the day and then nothing ever happens then usually that's generally what happens but i
can i guess appreciate the idea of effort i guess yeah like i said i didn't want to try to relate it
to george foreign or [ __ ] like that because no you're absolutely right you know it's like if you
if you do marching in like you know we we we we riot and we protest and we do all this [ __ ] over
days and weeks and months and like half a year and like eight months out of a year 10 months out
of a year then we start to see effective change so they started changing [ __ ] in minnesota they
started changing [ __ ] all across the country they pull up certain regulations and you know
just certain things to like ensure that this what happened in minnesota or minneapolis doesn't
happen where where we're at but i don't know what a day off of twitch i mean you you could
be right where [ __ ] be like yo we're doing a day right now if they keep doing this [ __ ] two
months from now we're doing a week off then if they don't stop that [ __ ] then we doing like
a month off and then we [ __ ] leave and we go into facebook youtube we'll find somewhere else to
go but i don't know if [ __ ] give a [ __ ] about that like that because it they don't give a [ __
] about unless it happens to them like unless it's happening to them nobody gives a [ __ ] about
anything really unless it directly affects them all these like natural disasters that happen in
other countries you know third world countries it's [ __ ] up the loss of life but if i'm
not affected i don't really care it's that old patrice o'neill joke was like yo such
and such people died in a plane crash like ah trying to give a [ __ ] but i don't i just don't
i'm good i'm alive i'm well i'm on the ground yeah i really don't give a [ __ ] i got some i
got subscribers i'm streaming i'm making 30 000 a month i'm making this much a month i'm able to
live off of just talking to y'all on the camera i'm good yeah y'all little y'all little [ __ ]
i stay on solidarity y'all because we gamers we supposed to be brothers and sisters or whatever i
really don't give a [ __ ] i'm not leaving twitch listen you might be right it's got to be somebody
who who has a name for themselves like if somebody like ninja like was to do some [ __ ] like that
then it would make a it would make a wave it's kind of like it's kind of like this [ __ ] when
um you know it was this thing where the people who are behind star wars was uh attacking the
fans and like people on youtube were making or making uh videos and stuff about it was saying
yo like look at these look at these creators look who um lucasfilm got working for them
they talking mad [ __ ] about the fans but then it didn't get big until they [ __
] with this dude named uh star wars theory like when the mandalorian season two like
the finale happened like he did a reaction video and he was crying and one of the dudes
who was involved with lucasfilm he kind of he kind of reposted him making fun of him
and then now it started getting like headway because like he's the bigger name when it comes
to like basically star wars content on youtube so then that's when it started getting less
because somebody who actually has the following got hit yeah yes i don't know
man well i guess we'll see in in the months to come yeah i guess only only only
time will tell at this point yeah yeah uh oh yeah uh nickelodeon's all-star brawl as april o'neil
and cat dog [ __ ] i was there for michelangelo like nickelodeon is like my childhood i feel
like you know doug brennan stimpy you know later on like 99 they oughta they added cat
dog spongebob and patrick and all the [ __ ] i mean april o'neil was a plus i mean like that
that wouldn't even look like if y'all had not added her i'd have been i'd have still been
on board but no i just want to give me that cool i don't know who else can they put
that they gonna put bad [ __ ] up here um this is this is wild uh fortnite as will
smith's bad boy's character mike laurie mark lowry mike live she was random look random i mean it it
means something if you talk about [ __ ] with guns yeah he's one of them [ __ ] with guns
i mean they got captain america in there and they got kelsey here in there they
got [ __ ] mad they got mad just random [ __ ] in there too did they have a terminator
in there yet he wasn't there yeah i feel like yeah it's not even just looking with guns
though because they put captain america he's a shield but it's just like oh yeah no
but captain america used a gun at one point i'm pretty sure they got they have superman
in there um yeah characters yeah they just get characters they put them in there because
it's just skin you know i mean it's not like yeah yeah it's it's but that's that's a wild
random ass skin though i mean listen this can't be more random than martin luther that's
what i'm saying i mean okay so why they put will without martin i don't know he next they
gotta do and also you have to do the tandem though you owned it also also you know i don't
know we'll smell the bigger styles i'm just waiting for john mcclane or fresh friends
too i've had this conversation before but we're going to have it burn the first prince yes i
would say martin's funnier the better the better black sitcom oh what is the better black sitcom
martin it's probably i laugh more from martin that makes sense bro man fifth floor oh no that's a that's a debate that's
that's like [ __ ] jay-z and now's at this point that's like martin from fresh friends
though well that's less of a debate for me well jay-z and alice yeah for me personally just
because personal preference music tastes what is your preference i i like jay-z better than like
now i'm not saying he's better i just like to listen to jay-z's music more than i like to listen
sometimes that's not second to us it's bad that's not saying now it's garbage i'm just telling you
my personal preference because i know once you say that people get all up and around yeah you
like that are you like i just i just prefer to listen to jay-z's music more than i do now like
jay-z that mean you like big over park [ __ ] that's awesome not usually like that that's been a thing for a while if you pick jay-z
over knives you like big over pocket and like and i do like i don't know what it is that's just how
that's just how it goes i can see that bars um fortnite is getting a martin luther king
experience i had a dream uh i had a beam um without reading the article i know that
martin luther king is not going to be a skin yeah no um i'm guessing israel yeah i'm
guessing it's just like an educational thing because yes it's it's nowhere in hell that
they would pick a man because it would be tone deaf blasphemous disrespectful and what
never even crossed my mind what i know i know what you're to say now but it never even crossed
my mind fam it would be every every like word you could think of that's like derogatory for a man
to be a skin running around in a [ __ ] suit with monotones like black and white skin because that's
the only way we see martin luther basically he's like running around with his skin shooting [ __
] and getting shot because that's how you're not i have a baby you're not i think it's just like
a museum experience it's kind of like how in some of the assassin's creed games because
they spent so much time recreating the um historical pairs they go to
they kind of use them as like museum pieces like without the gameplay there's
like it's like some type of mode that you can activate and you can just like go through
and like see how things look because they take so much time to like actually depict
things i think it's just a museum type of thing oh my god well this thing will tear
through any fortnite skin i have a beam oh you come at the king you best not miss this ak will spray any which away
on any given sunday i have a baby think about jesse jackson of that [ __ ] no oh this chapel will hit any hypocrite blood or
[ __ ] any jump that runs this lift i have a big oh [ __ ] one day little black boys and
little black boys would join hands with little white balls and little white girls on
the top of any fortress and scream ggs lord you know why they hate us they
hate us because they hate us y'all hate us because y'all hate us one day all of god's children black and white men jews and gentiles will
be able to sing that old negro spiritual season pass season pass play a game
without lag and game without lag i have a season pass a season pass some type
of some some type of hell lord i have a beam can you make it a shirt with martin's face you know what if we had a bigger audience that
would be like a show like you can only know that what that [ __ ] means if you listen to the show
yeah you have and then you can have martin on the back but it's it's the it's the malcolm x picture
when he's looking through the window you're making martial oh man i have a beard i have a beard
oh you come at the king you best not missed yeah that works so perfect hey man i get drunk more often this is fun off the top [ __ ] gamescom 2021 open at night i
didn't see it you see none of the trailers none of it i think i think i saw a little bit of that
uh saints row [ __ ] because only it was only like 10 seconds and the [ __ ] the the the gameplay oh
okay oh yeah the gameplay yeah the whole trailer was like [ __ ] three minutes yeah that's
like three minutes but you know but the gameplay was like 30 seconds and then i think
that's it oh they have marvel's midnight sun yeah marvel the night sons is it midnight suns
or marvel suns midnight midnight suns midnight suns okay i thought i like i know that it's like
an x-com game but with marvel characters yeah yeah so i know i know about that but i know they
have halo's release date which is something december 8th or some [ __ ] uh-huh
but i didn't like read the download tired i'm sorry what happened nothing man um
bobby what else they released uh well they said horizon horizon uh forbidden west is delayed
until like 2022.
Alcohol uh they they they showed they showed uh they showed him the standard
look at uh call of duty vanguard people aren't really [ __ ] with it they're kind of done with
that [ __ ] uh yeah i'm done with that [ __ ] i'm sure they're still doing them but
they don't need to release the yearly games anymore because they got words on them i
have a beam martin luther showed up they got a death stranding director's cut yeah they got a jet
pack in it yeah i think they did a lot of quality of life [ __ ] to like make the game maybe a
little better and this would probably be the version of the gameplay versus the original
version that came out of course they have a [ __ ] jet pack what uh what is life without
jet packs yeah uh not saying andreas though yeah most of the time most most of the things it
was just uh stuff that got released days like sifu uh that comes out february february yo i'm
gonna be broke [ __ ] february god damn uh and uh that was most of the stuff i was
just interested in like everything else is just random games that i probably never play you ain't gonna play that uh
but i forgot what they announced i forgot only only thing i really cared about
was uh the ninja turtle game where they added april o'neil again when they made her a [
__ ] playable character in like the beat em up thing i was like oh okay but then i
think they're gonna add casey jones too okay as they should that'd be cool they kind
of have to because like if you look at the picture that they dropped at the end of the
trailer that left side look kind of empty dog you got to drop like a splinter or casey
jones or something like that or jimbo oh that'd be dope dude yo you just [ __ ] laddered me whole new world [ __ ] i ain't even i didn't even think about my boy
yo jimbo yeah april in yo jimbo what i gotta ask kevin eastman about that when i talk to him when
he goes pass on you i don't get [ __ ] from this um eternals official trailer yeah now they show
something with this do we feel better about the movie now yes a little bit i'm not gonna lie
this one this one did a little bit i'm still weary i'm not gonna act like i'm not gonna
let you hear uh people at disney aka marvel [ __ ] we all did we watched that trailer and
it's recorded on youtube now yeah we doubted it yeah so so don't just try to back me in the
corner there yes i'm just saying [ __ ] down better marvelous time brady i
will never doubt them [ __ ] again i mean you right here in the buccaneers right
now you're right you got to never doubt the [ __ ] again facts um so yeah but now this does
look better yeah we get we're getting a little bit more we understand we get and i'm glad they're uh
asking and probably gonna answer questions about hey man if y'all been here this long what the
[ __ ] hell it's like oh we crazy we was told not to and then obviously we don't know what the
what's exactly happening i saw a few things where obviously i think most people's theories is
this is going to be what leads into mutants or does that i think one of the other things was
it could also maybe lead into galactus to some some extent um and then they're saying that
maybe one of the things was like the celestial inside the core of earth and that's what the event
they have seven days to stop is from it emerging so i think that's how they're born like they
like basically impregnate planets and then come through and like destroy
the whole planet like you should and they're born out of planets
and [ __ ] oh yeah you're right ego yeah so we'll see what happens but it does
look better um still don't know what the [ __ ] happening though but i was like this
is more intriguing got to see some of the action a little bit so that's where that critter
came from yeah that's what he put his dick in grand canyon who smashed it i promise we we gonna go sleep so bad maybe maybe bobby was right are
you going to be done by now yeah in a spider-man no way home teaser trailer
yo yeah [ __ ] yeah when the movie comes out and i was right put that clip out of me whatever
of what me i'm philosophizing everything put that clip out of me call me dumb cause i
know put that clip out again i was mad right about everything if them [ __ ] show up in that [
__ ] yeah so they got everybody from the everybody so we got confirmation of of a version of
green goblin we don't know what where and who where why we just saw a pumpkin bomb
yeah well maybe can we hear the laughs i know i'm i'm assuming it is oh no not jane
franco's it's multi it's multiverse but what if it was oh no he got sexually or what if
is this this is their way of introducing the new person to play um uh osborne and it's
somebody new but because it's multiverse they can introduce them that way it's multiverse they can
just introduce them that way that there's a way to do it like that we'll see um we know jamie
foxx is coming back so electro yeah but it's not quite the same electro from yeah the light
yeah the light is yellow and then they saw something that looked like it was either sand or
whatever so it might be sand man might be in there uh yeah and obviously a doc ock and i feel like
i'm missing somebody but it's like fam i think i think mysterio's still alive missing me they don't have black people in movies but yeah they're doing um the storyline
that came i forgot what it's called off the top of head now that came after civil war
in the color books because in the comic books in civil war spider-man um sided on iron man's
side and in doing that he revealed his secret identity to the world like on a press conference
and obviously that made a whole [ __ ] ton of problems for them sitting with the doctor strange
to be like hey man fix this yeah that's sort of the storyline they're going to make a clip um yeah
i think that's what happened i've seen a lot of people online and even in like the uh comments on
youtube saying why would doctor strange do this is there a reason why doctor strange would
do this because it seems like something so trivial was like [ __ ] everybody know everybody
secret identity what the [ __ ] is the matter like why would dr strange do this thing y'all think
peter's a kid oh yeah and the thing you're talking about i think it's like it's one moment in time
something there's something like that but that happened fisting it yeah this is why people keep
thinking that doctor strange is mephisto for some [ __ ] reason yeah and there's also well there's
a i think there's a happy career i saw one thing with some people saying that that's not even
doctors that's not even doctor strange yeah or that he's a squirrel or whatever the hell it is or
he's being controlled by somebody else or whatever the hell it is i think you get the [ __ ] you know
what nevermind yeah i don't know i'm just telling you what's theories it's this theories um but
i think maybe because he's a kid and because um iron man is dead and iron man was his mentor and i
think maybe he's like let me do something for this kid because obviously he's strong and i know he's
just trying to help and he's a kid compared to others who are adults who could deal with the
consequences of actions more so than a teenager with kids didn't they get in college now they
can't graduate yet no [ __ ] completely in high school yeah he's like a sophomore really yeah
yeah oh okay they got time how long would you use it and then he died for five years he came
back and he went back to school mr stark he's like 16.
So that's the meaning of bozeman facts oh i'm sure there'll be a story i'm sure there's gonna be like a story reason
why i help them and they'll probably like i'll do it we'll figure it out or maybe it's
a whole surprise who knows but multiverse [ __ ] i mean i guess we'll see oh oh [ __ ]
um so we're not watching candy man right um i thought we was well saint
chi comes up next week i believe that's why i said that yeah so uh shane she
takes precedence over uh candy man yeah that's why i just thought about that because it comes
out on friday third yeah so i mean so i mean if y'all give a [ __ ] about our review of candyman
let us know and we'll go ahead and watch it but if y'all don't we just gonna stick with the
whole marvel thing that we've been doing yep so let us know um that's it for topics yes all
things so we have an interview with the blur con founder himself to answer for
all the blurred khan's discrepancies and all of his happenings uh we have hilton george
on the show you know it's a regular on the show you know he [ __ ] with us kind of sort of but
not really he won't give me a job but it's cool um but we have him on the show you can go
ahead and check that interview right now all right so three ninjas
podcast domino hedge jones bobby and uh as many of you know we
didn't go to blur con this year you know with that vaccine [ __ ] yeah but
big big boo but you're not here yet so chill so right we didn't go to blur con we we wasn't
with the vaccine [ __ ] it's not that we're you know against vaccines as you know with the first
wave of vaccines but you know we plan on getting it um what it looks like with blurrycon we
missed one of the biggest blurred blowups in recent history um kind of mad that we weren't
there to witness it live but we do have the man that got all the smoke for that blow up on
the line right now live and direct we have the co-founder or founder of blur con we have hilton
george hilton how are you oh i'm doing all right brother how y'all doing all right good man can't
complain uh doing better than you i want to assume i'm doing great you're doing good i'm i'm
doing all right i'm doing all right you got it you got to take the take the hits with
the with the misses in life that's how it works now that vacation you went on was that
playing before or you saw that black that that black glass i got to get the [ __ ] out
of here man listen um the tva came to me we can't we can't mess with the time stream
hilton but you probably won't go to miami right after blur just just don't it will you just you'll know when
you see it right now that had been that had been booked for for months before beforehand um frankly
we really didn't know what we were going to do as far as numbers and you know we were actually
expecting a pretty subdued crowd more akin to what we did in our year one which is just under
2 000.
Uh but we ended up doing closer to 4 500. there's a lot of a lot of people and a lot
going on uh and so it was it was a lot of work during that weekend so it was definitely a
well-timed even in the best of scenarios uh vacation okay good to hear good day now how was
awesomecon awesomecon was really good uh we have a relationship with them uh with left field media
that's been really productive as you know uh you know they brought in uh us and our cosplay winner
they put our boots together so i don't know if you saw the pictures but we had like one big long
booth we had like this huge expanse right in front of our station so we turned up the music we always
bring music to our boots and dj and everything and we just just blew the whole left side of the
convention center out for three days and it was really really dope a lot of positive energy i mean
it was just a lot of people who hadn't been out some people a lot of people who came to blur con
came to awesome con but then the people who go to otakon are not necessarily the same crowd that
goes to awesome con so it was good to see two separate crowds of people and kind of get full
circle um but uh it was it was a real good time uh a lot of walking that makes you walk but it was
a real good time we had a really uh we had some great parties you know some great little reunions
uh and i mean we're already promoting for 2022 so it's a good promo for that too good good good
now uh mine is the [ __ ] how was blur con 2021 to you from like i guess the outsiders
experience or just your experience in general i will i will be the first to say that
i'm the last person anybody should ask about how blurred come on because i never actually
get to see blurry okay so minus the contest right how were the panels how was the ambiance the
feel the blackness like how was everything besides not just [ __ ] you know that
one point everybody blew the top no actually uh you know we came out of blurred
con you know this thing didn't hit until monday so you know we came through blur con and uh
people had a blast you know all of the reports you know and the feedback that we got from people
you know just the you know some of the stuff we did was new uh we had a third stage outside in
the food truck rally area where we had 23 acts performing and you know there's some
people who had some suggestions maybe like what kind of acts that they want to see and
that kind of stuff scheduling you know is always that you know we have a lot going on
at blurred con more than most conventions and so people are always a little uptight about
the stuff they had to choose versus something else that they wanted to do and we kind of forced
people to have to try to be in two places at once uh so there was some things about scheduling
but everybody else was just like it was a great experience and you know even with the
vaccine mandate uh you know we really didn't see that much year of people not coming out um and
it was just a really all-around good weekend um if you saw uh you know just talking about
you know the timing of how everything went it was mid afternoon late afternoon monday when it
finally got to me that this was becoming a thing you know it was like people in the contest
people in attendance at the contest there was no beef there was the rest of the con after this
is saturday at six o'clock not the end of the con so all night saturday all day sunday all sunday
afternoon bye thank you you know announce 2022 like we always do god bless good night pack up
nothing get home and you know i i tried to go to sleep i look my phone is is you know looking at
me and saying hey you got way too many messages and that's when people are saying this
thing is getting getting its own legs we got to figure out what we got to do get in
front of it and then trying to gather information after everybody had left the venue really
slowed the response because you know nobody lives at blur con i know the illusion is that
we're all kind of like right around the area and we're only two three miles away people was
on the road to new york philly north carolina tidewater virginia beach people wasn't even home
yet i'm talking to people's in their car driving what is this and what's going on trying to gather
information so it really was later that evening before i could really even wrap my head around you
know all of the the drama that was ensuing so up until three in the afternoon on monday america was
beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful experience it basically wasn't an issue until the internet
got his hands on it or as big for the most part yeah i mean you know but that's how it normally
works you know you get you know it's like if if somebody comes up in like the middle of a concert
or something you're not paying that much attention and they give you a quick rib punch you know it
may hurt a little but you know it might take a little bit for it to put the set in like the next
day actually punch me you need to get on hold hey well i need to meet you we got to square this up
yeah or like despair like goddamn that was racist yeah so it was kind of that kind
of thing it was really the internet and uh you know that really spun it out of
control and kind of really just the momentum and you know it was just it was it got really really
really ugly and uh if you saw the tone of my first response it was because it was a response yeah
yeah and i just i gotta put the brakes on before i even get all of the the nuanced information
about you know who this woman is and what happened with the contest and you know all of these other
things that i really got to get my head around like people are getting their inboxes blown up and
getting threatening messages and not just the girl but like the staff and the cosplay contest judges
and you know just down the line people were just getting all kind of crazy stuff and i was like
okay i gotta i gotta at least pump the brakes on that long enough for us to give us bias a day
to you know get everybody home sit down talk and figure out what happened and what we're going
to do make a plan and then make another address right now as a [ __ ] that's been to the con you
know from friday to sunday it's a lot going on i'm pretty wiped out but monday i'm on your ass right
so now um first question i want to ask you right is well about this thing right um what
is the mission statement of blur con oh i mean it's on the site you know this
is the i just want you to say it the idea the ethos behind blur con's inception is
to highlight and showcase you know black nerd achievement and contribution and cosplay
anime gaming you know music you know art etc etc and have that be in an environment where you know
we are in control of the transaction where we're not just selling black art or we're not just
showing blurred contributions but the people on the stage talking about it are representative
of the subject matters that they're talking about getting people who are not normally on the stage
or on the dais or behind the table at a panel that opportunity to do their first panel or they
do their first podcast or do their first in uh con activity um you know that's really what the
con is about and all of the stuff that we do is about taking that population that we know of
you know the go to cons and our participating in the geek space and then expanding that you
know because there's a lot of black nerds who do not participate in the blurred community and
these are the people that we want to have come out to their first convention so we reach out and
partner with high school programs and even some college programs we had bowie state come through
with a group of students we had thurgood marshall academy in northeast d.c excuse me southeast
dc come through you know just to kind of bring this next generation of 14 to 18 year olds into a
space that they may not be able to afford to come on their own or may not get permission to come
to on their own um and those are the kinds of environments that we create the rest of it is
internal commerce this is you and you and you taking advantage of the space to have
conversations to have interactions make connections on your own terms and then we kind
of stay back and just let things happen and try not to micromanage you know every aspect of the
con especially since there is so much going on so khan starts with thursday for like
the vip or something like that right yeah that was one of the new things
that we did we did some uh pre-con activities uh for the vips had a little
reception and party we did a full day of registration for the vips on thursday just for
them um we had djs and gaming and a wet bar all that kind of stuff happening but then for
everybody else the convention starts at noon on friday and goes to about three or four in the
afternoon on sunday non-stop right so now thursday goes off without a hitch friday then we get
to saturday there were hitches on thursday it's all it's all you know it's like the wizard
of oz you know the man behind the curtain with the smoke and trying to keep everything together
oh man listen you just gotta like get the dj set up right and all right video games aren't aren't
plugged in the way they're supposed to be and you know the people are lining up and you know
that kind of stuff you know anytime you're doing something new man there's there's the you just
trying to keep the wheels on the cart you know just come on give me four hours let's do this four
hours no hitches and you know but people if people don't see it that's a mark of success not because
nothing went wrong but you didn't know something went wrong and that's you know but there was
enough oh yeah this was i mean this was a high maintenance convention to manage yeah so you know
be it that you know whatever happened thursday it doesn't compare to what happened to saturday night
right so now were you actually at the contest when it was going on the cosplay contest no i actually
haven't seen a cosplay contest since 2018. i make my i i put it on my little
calendar like okay i'm gonna go down i'm gonna stand in the back of the rooms
nice and dark nobody's gonna bother me and you know you you make it halfway down to
you've been to the venue i make it down the first escalator no problem second escalator you
start hearing the hilton let me borrow you for a second he'll let me highlight him and no there's a
problem something something i gotta put out and uh the con the contest ironically enough only lasted
like 45 minutes and that's what we did a wedding in between the intermission oh yeah i just i
think i did see that in the uh the little rundown clip y'all did yeah yeah we did if we planned a
full-blown wedding in the intermission between the dope and [ __ ] and it was lights on to
lights off was 45 minutes by the time i got down to the second level right before i was gonna hop
down the escalator they're like the contest is over like dang 45 minutes was gone usually it's
like two hours yeah but you know it it really really really went fast right so that whole blow
up took 45 minutes so i guess put a stain on the blur con name when it comes to a lot of people
that went there to be a first timers or people that have been there since the inception of it be
it 2017 or whatever so the cosplay contest happens uh you have how many contestants do you
know i think we had 19 entries 19 entries 19 entries out of 50 slots that we set aside right
and uh not even all 19 were qualified to actually you know because a lot of the costumes were
purchased some of them had not made i think it's like you have to make 80 of it in order
to compete for the main prize uh we added some into the contest of through a separate contest
that was being done by black cosplay boosters so there was a couple more people they were able
to get up on the stage and showcase their stuff um but yeah it was a it was a relatively small
contest to begin with okay so out of those 19 the judges pick one person to win now who were
the judges well those are the cosplay guests cosplay guess so every year the cosplay guests
are the judges for the cosplay contest okay so it's like when we win 2019 it was uh
was it it was it was yeah it was the uh cosplay guess that would that would
adjust so it's the same thing every year so they get up there at blur con and say hey this
white woman had the best cosplay i don't know what could you i don't know what credentials they
went but i don't know what checklist they checked but they said this white woman had the best
cosplay in this black ass convention they didn't read the room pretty sure it was the
sea of black people they got up there and said that white woman won that contest so
white woman is elated from what i hear hey i won i love y'all [ __ ] with y'all i'm
here i'm here to celebrate nerd [ __ ] cool she i mean she gets out of the the area that the
cosplay contest is getting is is taking place at and then it's just totally eruption of [ __ ]
blur khan damn we can't never have [ __ ] um i'm never supporting blur khan again
they'll never see another dollar mine um first first of all how does that make
you feel when people take this one incident from this cultural thing that we're trying to
build from from the ground up we always complain that black people never have [ __ ] and then
when we create it you know we like to tear down as fast as we create it how does that make you
feel that people are already like throwing away blur kind as like i'm not [ __ ] with them no
more well you know on its face it's disappointing i mean as anybody who creates a convention you
know it's like uh if you go to king's dominion and there's i don't know 30 roller coasters
or something like that at king's there's a lot of rides there and you get on one ride on the
last day of your or the last hour of your visit and you get stuck upside down in one
of the loops now so i understand that it's [ __ ] king's dominion after that you know
right back sure right you know it doesn't matter it was the big bad wolf the messed up scooby-doo
was fine you know no it's all like the whole thing is ruined for you if that happens uh the ironic
thing is that you know it was a spectrum you know there were people on every spectrum of it that
were you know concerned or upset or complaining the people who were on the full out [ __ ]
blurred con they never get another dollar in mind most of those people weren't at blur con a good
chunk of those people have never been to blurred con and never will come to blur con so we have to
we have to delineate you know the people who have legitimate concerns and are upset and you know
have questions versus the people who are always waiting in the wings i think would probably just
you could probably find this with any convention but i know who mine are uh who are just waiting
to tear down the convention no matter what like somebody could have not put enough sugar in the
kool-aid on sunday and they were there are people who just their brand is dating bloodcon and you
you kind of take that that group and you put them over here and then you have the folks in the
middle who are upset and you know they're hurt and it's enhanced because this partnership that
we did with awesomecon was in an effort to extend the the experience and extend the uplifting you
know that we want the contest to have outside of blurred con you know being the number one contest
winner cosplay contest winner at blur con is great and wonderful but i was looking at it as well you
know how can we make this an opportunity for this person as a cosplayer in general so what can we do
beyond you know the dollars and the trophy and all that you know so one the winner of the contest was
going to be one of the judges and the you know on the guest list as a cosplayer for blurred con 2022
then there was the uh guest slot at awesomecon and awesomecon has an issue where they really
want you know to have blurred representation and this serves you know their diversity needs as
well and we're really happy to be a part of that that mission for them as well uh so it's it's
just it it hits on like three four levels whereas you know in previous years you know the person
would have got their fifty dollars or whatever the prize money is a little trophy and they
would have walked on stage and you never would have heard from him again but now you've got this
person representing blur con theoretically at you know this larger convention you know and in dc
awesomecon is the largest convention in dc nerd convention 80 000 people come to that right so
this opportunity is supposed to represent the uplift of black cosplay even beyond the contest
so it added so much insult to injury for everybody that i understand why it caught fire i understand
why i got legs um even though some of it was irresponsible but that's just a quadrant that it's
over here like we were talking about before um so what you have to do is you have to explain to
people you know because most people don't know how cosplay contests go you know even people who
weren't there you know have legitimate questions and concerns you know they may think oh hilton
walked a white woman up onto the stage and said here give this white woman a shot representing
black nerdum judges and judges like hmm i don't know hilton this is a black you know room and it's
a black con are you sure i'm sure write it down she's your queen to be you know all of that you
know cis people who don't know if that's how it goes because they don't know how cosplay contests
work i was like i wasn't even there i didn't even know a white woman who won until monday you know
it was it was not this thing that until monday engineering yeah wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait wait wait so you're telling me it's that this happens saturday evening sunday goes on you don't
hear [ __ ] uh i'm guessing you're you're ripping and running on sunday you don't have really much
time to check your phone i'm guessing i don't know so then monday nothing came to me nothing
no okay nothing came to you that night at all no no dms not a face-to-face [ __ ] what
the [ __ ] is hill in that i need to talk to him right now he ain't in the barbershop space
table nothing ain't nobody seen you say nothing nothing listen i'm telling you it's the if you
want to talk about another layer of disappointment is that i don't know however many people 150 i
don't know how many people who decided to get online and and you know add my judges or
at my staff or at this this woman the one nobody messaged me and that's just how it works
you know nobody nobody likes to really come directly to me for stuff i mean even if it's to
say [ __ ] you you know nobody really wants to i don't i don't know i don't know what what it is i
you know people have told me different things and you know like oh you know people are intimidated
i'm like no why i'm always smiling and i'm goofy there's really not anything to be intimidated
about you know with me i don't have a magic wand you know whatever so no nobody's messaging me
like what the hell hilton and why this hilton and da-da-da until monday when the internet got
a hold of it and it reached this noise level this fever pitch now monday i had a lot of people know
these are people that are close to me like people who know me who are like hey i don't know if you
are hearing what's happening over on tick tock i don't know if you've logged in and start and did
a search for the hashtag blurredcon on you know uh twitter or youtube but this is really blowing
up and da da da you need to get ahead of this so even then it's just the people in my
circle you know of friends and colleagues who are reaching because they're hearing it
but there isn't anybody like you know dming me saying you know we want answers and all this sort
of stuff and like i said it wasn't until monday where i was like wait a minute like all right
everybody you know whoever i can get on the phone fill me in what happened give me the blow by blow
um yeah so i mean i'm i'm saturday you know i got a concert to do got to make sure the party comes
off you know i mean there's so many things that are that are trying to take the wheels off the
structure of the cart that i'm really focusing on this stuff but like during the convention
nobody was really talking about it during i mean they if they were it might have been off in
their rooms but it wasn't like groups of people making noise and shaking their fists or following
me around or at the con the people at the con had a great experience it's the the acid indigestion
that kicked in on monday for the three day tacos that they ate that that really was only kicked in
i know it sounds crazy but there's really this one now um i guess monday when the [ __ ] hit the
fan right um i saw little sprinklings of like you know rundowns of what happened at blur con but
i i didn't know what the [ __ ] they was talking about so maybe like wednesday or thursday i wasn't
just paying attention to what happened at blurred count because i wasn't there but even still i just
wanted to know what the [ __ ] was going on so when i started seeing like you know hashtag [
__ ] con like hashtag like kinda blurred khan like i i i was seeing all types of
wild [ __ ] but then it was like you know i guess the the the the vitriol
and like the anger was just all about this white woman within the cows like do you do you
actually understand why people are upset or do you just be like hey this was this was always an
all-inclusive event and she had the best cosplay like a white woman won a cosplay competition at
a convention specifically catered to black nerds and you know that was always in the mission
statement like all-inclusive you know everyone's you know when when when i was there in 2019 i saw
gay straight asian white uh latin uh non-binary whoever i saw whoever there everybody enjoying
they enjoying a nerdy ass time but as soon as a white woman when the cosplay competition at blur
con everybody just seems to [ __ ] lose it like do you understand why people are mad though or do
you just be like oh absolutely absolutely and so you know that's kind of where i started off at is
trying to find you know fundamentally understand you know where the spectrum starts and stops you
know concern to anger to outrage and what people are outraged about and uh you know again just
like i said it was layers you know on its face you know it's just you know it it's like jumbo
shrimp it's like these these two words that that are just antithetical to one another existing
in one one situation and it was a series of decisions that just you know as i'm i'm learning
now it probably took me about a week and a half to really get the full picture that she had a
black group of friends that she was there with yeah and they pushed her to to go go into the
contest yeah you got this you got dope cosplay and you know your plus size and or whatever
and you know she's like if she won the space tournament i can get it i get that cosplay
i'm like hi dawg maybe i just wasn't up to par right and i i think she think
there was a series boston on who gave her the chico what part of dc is
she from that black part of dc ain't she right right right right you know but i think with
the cosplay piece it was uh more about you know there was hurt because people are looking
at it in the big picture like i said it's digesting this and and then it comes back up when
it really hits you know what what does this mean oh you're telling me a white woman is
going to be representing blurred khan in black nerd cosplay at awesomecon and as a guest
now here at blurredcon and you know all that sort of stuff and and i totally understand and you know
what i tried to to kind of let people know is that you know the in the lane between you know divert
i mean uh uh you know blame and responsibility you know i'm responsible because i put
the structure of the contest together and there's no speed bumps on there for anybody
of any race you know to be highlighted and be elevated to that position and while legally you
know there's there's a whole quadrant of people in this argument that are thinking you know why why
people have to be there at all and you know why does why do black folk stuff have to be inclusive
and all cons are inclusive the black the name the blackest khan you know that you think is blacker
than blurred khan and i guarantee you they got white people to go there too some of them have
white guests this is all they're all inclusive but when you have something as high profile
as a cosplay contest winner at a con the size of blur con you know those things go to another
level i mean white people have always been at blur con and just like you said 2019 you saw a mix
of people but they were dissipating you know they weren't the show you know and the cosplay contest
is the only place at blur con where structurally someone who was part of who's just participating
was just there observing uh you know uh could elevate themselves to the forefront of the
convention and that happened and so i had to come up with and this took a couple of days because you
know you got you know okay what can we legally do and you know we're wrangling with before she
relinquished her her prize you know like okay how do we go about you know altering the situation
with her in the in the winner's chair right what do we do you know because obviously we can't you
know we can't have the blurred con representative [ __ ] white like sex and caucasian way just yeah
i mean so we so i'm i'm planning i'm planning ways to to work around that but she had already
relinquished the prize i think she realized you know dawn and her they're like oh [ __ ] like okay
this i really misread this room i misread my place uh as a attendee and what the con was about and
opportunities that i might have taken away from other really great black cosplayers who were
in the contest and you know it you know this is these this is how we learn like something like
that yeah well if she had the best costume if she had the best costume like why this is this is the
conversation that we were having whenever we uh the news droppings i don't know i don't have
the answer for it but like if she had the best costume i don't understand i like now going
forward with the uh representing stuff that i get but in general just for her winning the
contest i don't understand if she had the best costume she didn't have the best costume that's a
different conversation to have at a different time but if she just had the best costume you can't
be mad at her for wanting to participate in something she spent her money to go to visit
this convention to do this stuff and she wanted to participate and then she happened to win like
i don't so i don't get you're not you're not alone there was a whole there was a whole quadrant
of the spectrum that was there and and almost to the letter what you just said they had
that same position uh and had a lot of you know real valid thoughts around you know what
what does it mean to have a cosplay contest you know that excludes you know cosplayers
of inequality or skill level you know it's a cop it's a cosplay contest at blur
con it is not a black cosplay contest right right but this year i think it's different because
the winner that prize pack what that represented was so much more above and beyond what we had
ever done before or any con ever i don't know of any conventions that partner with another con to
say not only are you going to win here but we're going to make sure that you get your first show
over there you're going to get two guest slots you know to launch your cosplay career from this
win from the stage and this yeah that sounds crazy that's not crazy now i'm thinking about it
that doesn't change yeah that sounds crazy yeah you know so so i was excited by the idea
and the the the the one the the cosplayer who was elevated to the winning slot uh kiwi nina
mori uh you know she already had she's at this moment she's a poochie con she got called by
poochie khan before she even got to uh awesome con so she's she's doing a cosplay you know guest
slot up in uh new jersey so it's working you know what my idea worked like you know so i'm happy
for that because i think this is a formula that that i can replicate in other areas you know and
and find ways to take dope black cosplayers and dope black creators and dope blurred musicians and
comedians and anyone who's there participating in some way and find ways to extend the reach of the
stage of blur con to encompass other nerd spaces that are not necessarily nerd specific and uh i
think that's the key that is the part that i think probably added that critical amount of fuel to the
fire that that made people really see this as an impact because of that now on me what i failed
to do was to consider that this could happen and that this could happen in such a way that
you know we would be faced with having you know somebody who's not representing the blurred
community representing the blurred community you know whatever whatever and uh that's a wild
ass thing to put on a resume as a white person it you know but you know it's like this
someone said to me like oh you know naacp has given awards to white people for
me yeah but those are like special lifetime achievement awards or you know some side award
or something like that they're not winning you know black image award for justin timberlake
or something like that you know what i mean it's yo trey had a justin timberlake award lifetime
award yeah you know it's not the same thing um so what what we had to do was come up with
a way in which that prize that number one prize even in an inclusive environment an inclusive
con where people can participate just as anyone else would uh in any way that anyone would
in the con regardless of their race or gender orientation yada yada is to make that prize
qualify to you know a black nerd and i said well you know what i can't make a contest
within a ticketed event that only allows for black people to participate that's that's a
lawsuit that you know nobody's going to give me 10 cents for my legal defense fund for it so i'm
not even going that way i said but this number one prize is going to be the black cosplayer of the
year award right so the judges to their defense and i i really tried to drive this home but it's
so complicated that it never really get to it there was nothing for the judges there's no
mechanism for them to steer the ship away from the white woman or anyone else who's participating
in the con everyone's getting these worksheets and they're all sitting at different stations and
people come up and they stand in 10 feet away and you know they can approach and everything and
they're writing numbers hey one through ten how was the craftsmanship ten how was the presentation
eight you know blah blah blah they're not sharing this information they're writing down what
is given to them they do the [ __ ] paper bag test and be like ah she can't win because she's
right there's no there's nowhere on this like sct you know it's like you know so there's really
you know they have no sense of like they're not coming together with this meeting where
we're like okay what are you thinking so-and-so no it's like these these sheets are
collected because we want it to be objective and we want it to be sterile this is another
reason why i don't i don't go backstage i don't go anywhere near the contest because you know
there's people just waiting to say the fixes in you know even on when you know we have the fight
if it's not black and white you know in 2019 it was armor versus sewing you know in 2017 it was
oh you know i think hilton knew the girl who won or you know she works for blurred con or something
like that and i said man listen you know there's money involved with this prize and there's a
lot of work and a lot of personalities in the cosplay community i'm going to keep myself
as far away from that process as possible so it never really dawned on me that man you
know somebody could just come up in here and win regardless of the ethos of the contest or the
ethos of the prize pack or the ethos of the con and there's no there's no speed bumps there's no
breaks there's no potholes once somebody enters to how far they can go so this new structure is going
to allow for anybody still can enter if they want we're going to probably do some different
things with uh you know the qualifications for you know how much of your cosplay did you make
versus buy or assemble that sort of thing but this this cosplayer of the year black cosplayer of the
year award is going to be more like a a mr or a miss america thing because this person is not just
going to be the best uh among the best cosplayers at the con they're also going to be representing
blurred con at another convention at least one other convention they're going to be representing
blurred con as a guest the following year and everybody might not be down for that you know
so we can't just use the check sheet because this you notice there's some cosplayers out there
they're huge talents crazy who shy to a fault don't won't speak in a room with more
than three people like you know and now i'm gonna put you on the stage you know i'm
gonna put you on four stages i'm gonna send you to new jersey i'm gonna send you to the
day when they should they don't want it so you know if somebody is not interested in that
they'll have the opportunity during the q a which is a new thing that will be added
somebody's going to ask questions hey what do you think about the state of black cosplay
please let me do it can i do it please oh god aside but those are the kind of of solutions and
remedies that we were we were we would normally do in problem solving but i think that um you know
there are people and i mean you guys are out in the world you know so you know there's people that
you know that say blurred con at least once a day and in a negative sense you know and they wake
up every day in a cold sweat screaming blur con and they waiting for blurred con to trip
so they can you know they can make hay of it and those people are always going to be there and
i think this gave them an opportunity to blow a lot of air to feed this fire beyond the people
who attend because i look i look i i actually you know a week after once i had time to actually comb
through some of these uh you know youtube videos and stuff and i looked and i was like okay this
person's saying something crazy you know kun khan all that kind of stuff and i'm like i don't
see you attending i'm going to your profile you're not attending no cons cosplayer you got
no blurred credentials anywhere in your profile i don't know you we don't have any mutual friends
and i'm just like okay it's not a loss if you tell me you're not i'm not getting no more of your
money and i've never gotten none of your money and never was going to get none of your money i mean
you know some people just want to say something and they said what they said and they move on
but the people i'm really focused on are when the people who attended the convention the people
who are you know making balanced even you know even in their outrage like yo you know i i have
a real question on how we're going to fix this going forward hilton talk to me you know those are
the folks that i'm i'm really able to to assuage and and and are willing to listen to solutions
whereas others not so much right now i saw this on twitter was as well i don't know if it's true
but i gotta ask you um i heard somebody say that in all the years of blur con there's been
one black cosplay winner is that true no uh year one uh was black and korean but she
was darker than me so i didn't even know she was a half asian but uh then uh 2019 uh we had uh what's
the princess and the frog's princess name chad the green yeah yeah she won uh but yeah you're right
this is not the first time a white person has won the cosplay contest 2018 we had a blind cosplayer
uh who sewed her own dress right now this again i didn't see like i said i didn't see this uh but
i saw the pictures and uh the controversy was you know i mean people were kind of like uh but it
didn't go nowhere um and i kind of looked at it as kind of like a freak accident like okay you know
you know what uh what huh you know okay well they got the prize you know there's not too much of
a dust up about it you know apparently there was consensus why consensus that this person had the
best cosplay enough to the point where it maybe trumped this person i don't know it never got
to the point where we really had to examine it but i did look at it as a oh okay this was
a freak accident you know it's like a car accident in front of your house like oh you know
it's not because of the pothole up the street this is just jesus deciding that there's going
to be a car wreck in front of my house this year and boom and uh you know if i could do it over
again again i'm real big on responsibility even for things that i'm not necessarily directly
to blame for if i could do it over again i would have probably done something similar to
what we just did for what's going to be 2022 back in 2018 but since we come out in 2019 and you
know the whole top five was black in 2019 and i was like oh okay it was a freak accident you know
look look at that you know it's this is this is a nice you know pantheon of winners on stage and
you know a little controversy of armor versus sewing which is always going to be there but other
than that it was gone so i was like oh okay well that's not as much of a problem as i thought it
would be turned out i was wrong right now have you personally talked to the cosplay winner the
the woman who won the woman yeah the woman i never got the chance listen i made my first statement on
monday and i it sounds like y'all saw it this was monday night and i mean i was i'm i was probably
working off for four or five hours sleep for the whole three four day weekend right my throat was
just dry and i was like i just gotta i just gotta put the brakes on the harassment just so that we
can bring the temperature down enough for us to take a day to address the situation in another
post so i took that opportunity expecting to be able to have a conversation with this person maybe
the next day or something and say okay what what what do we do here you know what you know that
kind of stuff tuesday she relinquished the prize and then shut all her social media off so i
didn't have a oh [ __ ] [ __ ] a macklemore well yeah she she's shut everything
she's gone she's gone off of the internet i mean she's still on twitter but you know i'm
not even well i mean when i say off i don't know that you can just delete a profile like that
but she's not on it's not after social media yeah she's not actually you can't message
me right because it was it got really ugly and it got really rough uh for a minute there
and i didn't get a chance to come around and and have any kind of direct conversation with her
before she relinquished the uh the position um um where want to go next with this why was this so much smoke for blur
khan as a whole and not just the judges because you so the judges were invited there by
you know i guess you know like a collective of the blur con staff and they don't represent
blur con per se right they you know they're judges they're you know outsourced they
have their own opinions or whatever the case they chose the winner so why was it blur
con as a whole took a hit and not just the judges you feel well i mean i think there
was for some people again they don't know that the judges don't work for blurred con
like i've had i've seen so many people post y'all need to get new judges next year
and i was like well they don't work for us different news every year right right and you
know i i could sit back and take for granted that everybody knows how cons work but apparently
that's not the case so that might be part of it you know that people are thinking that these are
folks from inside the circle that you know we have this long relationship with but cosplayers are
under the aegis of the con for the weekend of the convention and then that's it so when people
are are saying oh you know so-and-so cosplay judge said something i didn't like you know what
do you have to say about that and i'm like they said that on tuesday this person's contract
ended on sunday the 19th at five o'clock nothing to do with their life
after they leave the con space right and and everything and so they can say
what they want to say i can agree or disagree or you know whatever whatever but everyone who i
read their statements were quick to preface to say i'm not representing blurred economy
speaking for anybody about myself and as in artful as some of those statements were you
know they were in response to like this constant badgering uh you know and our pr operation didn't
get a chance to even you know before things really really were just turning left and turning right
normally if something really crazy happens or potentially crazy happens we'll have a moment or
a window to say to the department involved don't answer any questions we're going to come out with
a statement from the con and that will be you know the official statement and it will answer all the
questions but we don't want you talking to people responding to tweets and all that you know these
folks are hitting these guys up directly and again they're not part of the staff they're not
part of the department so you know if dax gets a tweet that's mean and and somebody's
saying something and you know dax is like nah and and wants to clap back that i i'm not in a
position to call dax and go hey private citizen uh i need you don't do that i need you to i need
you to eat a little more [ __ ] on our behalf not gonna pay you but right exactly it's like you
off the clock but you know so yeah i think there's a uh like i was saying before there are people
who wake up every morning and say blurred calm before they brush their teeth just so that blurred
con can come across their mouth when their breath is the worst it's going to be just
that's how much they hate blurry there are people who hate blurred con since 2016.
they were saying in the mirror like candyman exactly like they really really really have it but they don't really have
the hilton hilton necessarily listen if i if i said names and anybody here would
know them you go oh damn he is so right you know it's that crazy uh and again these are folks a lot
of these folks like this one i haven't talked to since i haven't exchanged any words with since
2016 and this person is writing the same article you know every time that you know a cosplay i'm
not even joking a cosplayer got their cosplay caught in the door in a uh an elevator blur con
i think it might have been 2018 2019 this person got on there and tried to spin it like see this
is why i try to tell you the blur khan ain't for black people they're trying to they're trying
to lynch this the elevators is racist right like so yeah this is this represented for that group
of people an opportunity to try and make as do as much damage to the convention as they can
and these folks are the ones that you know if you look at they'll make first of all they'll
make more than one post and their their analysis is not fair they're making you know very sweeping
judgments about the con in general anyone who says that the 45 minutes of that contest represents
the entire experience of the of the 57 hours of blurred con that's what i'm talking about somebody
who's on who's usually in that that boat way over here on the right that's like okay i'm gonna see
how i can you know just really really just rile this whole thing up and they're always there and
they always will be you know i mean listen black people aren't 100 on nothing right you can't find
you can't find anything that 100 of black people you think it's 100 but if you if you post if
you get into a position of influence or volume or voice or elevation and you say man i love
grits there's gonna be five people that's gonna i saw a horror story on grace the
other day i saw somebody put flour in there grits and i almost died that's
cornmeal ain't it no no no no no no no no that disturbed me because i
had grits this morning and but i'm just saying that those should
those people exist for blurred con and we're doing i i always knew that was going
to be the case you know when we incepted blurred con and we put it together everybody's
waiting for this army of white people or you know asian people whoever to come and try and
mow us down you know uh and i was like nah the probably the biggest and most vocal criticism of
blur counts gonna come from people to look like us because we're doing how it is a lot of things that
are so different and if we achieve any success i mean listen i'm not bragging on blurred con but
this is just a objective fact blurred con has had the kind of explosive success that is rare amongst
conventions and if we were flying under the radar year four we were under a thousand people and it
was a small con nobody would care what we were doing but when you start off at 2 000 people and
2019 is like 6 500 people and we're on track for like 8 000 people next year you know i mean that's
that's not normal for most conventions you know and people feel a certain way about that you
know that's just how human nature is and they saw this opportunity like oh man let me write this
thing piece hold ups people are going to care and it's the same three articles they put
three articles on this they're all getting it's just you know they're getting posted and
reshared by the same people and i'm just like there's like 40 articles hilton what
are we gonna do like no it's three three articles the same three
you're being retweeted yeah yeah they didn't created
the doom against you goddamn listen man yakovsky what we're
doing is controversial you know there are people like you know who really
really really do not like the fact that there are non-black people in any way
associated with the con in attendance in the building for you know sitting behind the
engineering booth at behind the state they don't nothing they just cannot stand that that will
be the forever point that they will always hate us for there are folks that you know don't like
the way i brought blurred con up i didn't i i am the first say i didn't kiss any rings on on my way
into doing blur cut there are a lot of established conventions out there that feel like what you know
[ __ ] didn't talk to me and and you know there's some indignation to that you know for some people
and i understand it you know um but again there are folks who are outside of the bubble like you
guys objective people who uh you know they're just like man this is making a lot of noise what in the
hell is going on we missed one year we missed one hilton burned down crystal city we did
not cover it this is a missed opportunity oh [ __ ] woke up one day the world was on fire one day the world's on fire this this was the
day and you know so yeah the most for most people you know once they saw the plan to move
forward and you know it made sense to them you know they're like okay we're gonna see what
happens next year and we're going to see what 2022 is you know starts to get mapped out to be uh
but then there's others who no matter what you say you know you're just they're not listening
they are not paying any attention to i have a question and then you answer the
question and well i have that same question again just to ask it so people think it's still
an issue now but but but the question is right and you're like okay this person's not really trying
to hear the solution oh [ __ ] we don't need them so now before i ask you about
uh 2022 and your plans for that what i want to know is after the blow up
what was that first staff meeting like like did y'all did did y'all come
on zoom where did y'all you know go into a conference room it's
like hey we kind of [ __ ] up what was the energy in that room well again you
know we have to just because the structure of conventions is the way it is uh we have silos
so programming is not aware of any of the stuff that's going on with cosplay and guests in
the counseling contest they're sitting up on the third floor in a back room making sure the
panels go and you know everybody's projectors are working and everybody's on schedule and people
are recording no shows updating the site yeah you got it i got people in registration they
spend the whole con sitting behind the table you have your id please you know they don't know
what's going on so we didn't have to necessarily have like this big come to jesus meeting so
much as just for me to come forward and say okay this is where we are and we're going to
craft three sets of statements that are going to go out we didn't do much crafting with the
first one but the second one and then was the first one yours that you deleted that one yes yes
okay okay all right that was me because people were like the messages i gotta say something well
yeah people like you can't hide from this hilton from the issue you can't hide from this
you can't no i'm not [ __ ] i don't know what to say to y'all i'm like i gotta find i
don't even know what happened all i know is everybody's mad and i got it and uh so that when
i was like look i just got to stop the harassment that's the that's my responsibility at the very
moment that's the only thing i'm really going to focus on as far as that and then the second
one we can kind of once we get more information so we really didn't put the rest of the team in
any position where they had to make any statement because nobody's asking registration what happened
at the cosplay contest nobody's asking the stage manager for the outside concert or the coordinator
for the food truck rally you know about it they're talking to cosplay judges one or two people
they think are associated with it and um you know ostensibly me i mean of course nobody's
messaging me directly from you know the the mob people in my circle are and so yeah we had that
meeting and was like okay we we have to figure out a way to do this like how do we address legitimate
concerns about representation and uplift and you know the ethos of the convention while still
staying within you know what the legal confines are for you know exclusion from public events you
know um so we had to kind of you know figure this out so that the the idea that i was so excited
about you know this ability to take the blurred con cosplay winner and elevate them even above
and beyond our stage and put them on at least two other stages uh which will probably end up by
the time we get to next year you know our cosplay winners probably end up on about five stages
you know by the time the end of the year comes around so really really good thing how do we do
that and make sure that it's meeting its purpose you know because this isn't about elevating
blurred con this is about elevating the community you know this is about elevating you know the
hard work and talent in the blurred community in this particular lane it's cosplay right so
how do we do that you know and so we talk with some people you know like my business partner
haas you know he's got a jd so you know he knows a little bit about law and how to look things up
and that's what we came up with what i put forward to you guys a little while ago uh but i mean we
knew that this the community has a news cycle and a lot of people we i knew as like at some
point they're going to over play their hand and people go okay all right over there i'm mad
too but you're doing euro with some other stuff you know that's you you way out of bounds like
we're not even talking about that we just want to know what we're going to do to make sure this
represents us and in the way that the founding is supposed to mean and uh yeah and inevitably you
know a lot of the the real haters overplayed their hand and there's people there's some posts up
now it's about why are y'all still hilton was on you saw me on head nerds in charge i was on the
three hours answering that's why i didn't ask have the questions i wanted to ask because like
they already covered it so i ain't gonna rehash it i you know i i love curtis uh for what he did
uh but i told him i said here's why i need you and this is why i'm reaching out to you first
he said well i said because you're messy and you're laughing and i need i need you to use
your messiness and loudness and you know your irreverence to create a neutral platform you know
where you know you know if i'm wrong or if i'm saying something that's you know off off key or
if there's something that i'm trying to hide you you'll raise some ripples [ __ ] you know maybe we
can get this message out here so i ain't got to go on all these [ __ ] platforms the same question
18 times three ninjas might be where it stops i don't even i said i don't even want to
see the questions as many questions as you get from submitted and he said he got like
200 of them but there's a lot of repeats as many questions as you get submitted i will stay
on air to answer until you run out and that was my friend that's all i need to know just tell me when
to log in and when we gonna start and that you know when as he hit me with him i mean yeah i've
heard them before from other places but i didn't know what he was gonna have i was scared for you
yeah i i was never nervous because i you know i'm coming from an honest place you know and anytime
i see black women no i get i get nervous man i saw it because like i i saw the video
and i saw three black women i still sh to a certain extent they did to a certain instead
they absolutely yeah and and you know the thing is that you have to ask yourself the question
if you're if you are one of the people who was really really upset and if you're not now you know
that it might be the answer to the question but you know what is it that you want you know do
you just want to see somebody get dragged because that's you know that that's just in in you know
the next sequence of events you know from real housewives from blurcon.com or whatever i don't
know if you want that you know you're probably never going to be satisfied because you know
we're not we're not dealing with a situation that was part of any chicanery or you know where's
the money or anything like that this is just a really awkward situation that happened that i
as a car runner and responsible for dealing with in the moment and preventing in the future and
the anger and the discomfort and the concern that comes in the moment is reflexive and it's
it's it's natural uh but you know when you start looking at solutions you know you have to allow
for that and if you're still mad after you see the solutions like you have to ask the question
like okay why are you here like are you is there any answer that would make you happy and if the
answer is no then i won't i won't burden you with any more of my voice but you know it's just
a hiccup you know now that i think about it if we were a little bigger that thing we did with
the speed dating that [ __ ] would have got hate you remember that like we didn't do the lgbt
we didn't consider that we got hate off rip because we didn't include because we didn't say
it was like all inclusive we didn't include like non-binary people the lgbtqia plus community
like we didn't put that on the sheet we just said hey speed dating we just all we just
thought all straight people was going to come but you know little did i know that every every
type of [ __ ] was like yo we was waiting for this [ __ ] we saw this [ __ ] on the program we was
waiting for it i was like i didn't know this mean [ __ ] are going to come we have to turn people
away at the door we was like yo this is our first time doing this i don't know [ __ ] i don't know
do my hands ricky bobby i don't know nothing so hopefully if we do it in 2022 we get like the
big [ __ ] room and then we get to actually like you know have everybody in it that wants to be
in there and then we get the inclusion that we want or do more than one speed dating panel
i don't know we'll talk to you i don't know we'll figure something out figure it out so
always do now um speaking of 2022 right um the hallway cosplay contest pageant that you uh i
guess you announced i i don't i don't know if it was a preemptive announcement or you already had
that plan to announce but you announced that on a video i think at the end of july i want to say
and was that always a plan to have that or did you feel the pressure from this thing and be like
hey i got to do something well it's a little bit of both um because you have a challenge on both
ends of the of the challenge like i was saying you know we uh looked at the con and said okay
how many people can we comfortably accommodate in a cosplay contest and the the number the
magic number that we get for registration is 50.
For prejudging and you know people
walking across the stage and all that i mean cosplay contest i did a wizard world cosplay
contest when i was cosplaying and it was six hours i was yeah another contest didn't like the
audience didn't see six hours but if you wanted to enter and you had to participate it went from
like 4 30 in the afternoon to 8 o'clock at night just in line queuing up getting judged
walking you know no food nowhere to sit and so we are sensitive to the fact that people
want to attend a convention and we want this to you know the contest to exist within this
two-hour block that we have set aside now this year like i said we only had 19 entries
right so you know how do you spread or expand the footprint of the uh the competition to invite
people into the process who don't want to spend yeah it might be about two and a half hours
of their saturday participating in the contest because you know one of the things that you always
hear and and it's funny because i'm like yeah i agree with you they're like oh man i was
walking around i saw 20 cosplays that was better than so and so such and i get this every
year it's not unique to this year like yeah exactly i was like i saw that cosplay too i walked
up to that individual i told that individual you got a dope cosplay you should enter the contest
and they were like yeah and then they went about their day but it was never in it forced people huh
they was never in it no no they're just talking about people walking around the con okay like
you know when they see the winners people that walk around with dope ass cosplays but they don't
want to get on stage and want to enter the contest and and i understand that i understand that and
how do we showcase dope cosplay even if they don't want to enter the formal contest because i think
that we can still serve the mission of elevating and highlighting you know the dopest cosplays
that we see on a saturday which is the day of the contest even without having these people going
through the full prejudging and all this stuff to win maybe a formal set of prizes so what i said
was going to do is say hey we're going to have a hallway cosplay contest and we might say we might
give 10 people 10 armbands a piece and it's all right you're going to walk around if you're in a
place that's pivotal you might even be a vendor i mean it doesn't matter like if you see somebody
in a dope cosplay you are authorized to take these armbands walk up to that person in the middle of
the hall and be like look here i want to give you this you can go walk the stage you know you don't
have to do any prejudging you don't have to have your you know your cosplay taken apart you don't
have to have created or built or sewn 80 of it doesn't matter if you bought it doesn't matter
if it's your cousins and you're just wearing it that matters you know whatever it's a dope cosplay
and we want to see it on stage what's going to happen well you're going to be in the video most
likely there's going to be a photography aspect of it so we have these opportunities to to elevate
what we see and what the cosplay you know quotient is at blur con and then we'll have some prizes
that might go a combination of crowd participation or you know maybe even the judges doing
on-site saying okay boom we like the way you embodied that character maybe you did good
voice characterization and body movement just as you walk the stage you know maybe that that'll be
something and we just you know give you something a little token of uh of your accomplishment
and you know you get a little picture boom and and that's it took 30 minutes of your day to
do it um so that's really what we wanted to do unfortunately uh you know there is no method as
it stands right now to just goad some of the best black cosplayers that we all know to get on that
stage and showcase their skill and their talent in a formal contest and uh this is a way to do it
it's low maintenance uh it's not that much work uh it doesn't have a heavy load on the actual
structure of the contest and uh at the end of the day there will be more blurred contestants or
blurred cosplayers on the stage as a show because as an audience when i go to a cosplay contest i'm
there to see dope cosplay right people i might not have seen in the hall or you know i might have
missed because i was in a panel but you know boom oh yeah you was telling me about that iron
man or you was telling me about that deadpool or or you know that any asha or whatever whatever
oh there it is take picture boom boom boom you know we want to have that at least both for
the audience and for the cosplayers so we're going to see how it runs this next year right hilton i i
mean this kind of goes without asking but you seen uh chappelle show right yeah okay what you just
explained to me sounds like uh i think it was in the first season when de chapel he went around new
york and said hey you had a great new york boom he was just giving him ribbons and
[ __ ] but you just added a stage yeah actually that's literally what it is hey you
have a great cosplay there you go well you know it i'm not reinventing the wheel this is actually
yeah yeah this is how a lot of contests work uh i you may not have known me from my my heavy cosplay
days but i was known for my deadpool uh back in the day and uh i am not a crafter you know i'm
not a sower you know i'm not a you know molder uh i'm a hack you know i put together stuff and
what i think is creative cosplay but if you ask me how much of it that i actually make like why
i painted that you know and i you know did this but i didn't make it you know wired that in you
know put the speakers in so you can hear my voice and i went to momocon and entered the contest and
you know they asked me so well we got a category you know do you want this you just want to get
up there and walk the stage and and show your personality and your performance well there's
a prize for that and you know so they did the pre-judging i walked up on stage they gave me this
little bag it was really cool and i got my little chance to wave and take a picture with the
cosplay judges and sat my butt down and i was like oh that was pretty cool and it was just
that simple and it didn't take too much of my life away and i got a chance to you know kind
of get up there and say something crazy and uh that was it so i think i think there's a way to
make that work at blurredcon so that we do get more highlights of the cosplay and and yes it
will be very much like handing out uh ribbons nice new york boots there you go that'll be
kind of cool to have a cosplay to where um you're having it to like uh best performance like
if they dressed up in a cosplay and they acted out on stage for like a good like minute or 30 seconds
or something like that just as you know it is you just have different categories like best
best performers best uh style the look and things like that right and these prizes don't have
a whole lot of responsibility behind them they may not be monetary you know they may be contribut
contributed into a bag or a set of bags by the vendors and then they get you know prize sponsor
consideration you know in the program or something like that uh but it's just a way of acknowledging
it it's like i said it's low maintenance and again you know there are a lot of people who you know
maybe they're not crafters and they're not sewers but you know some of my favorite cosplayers
are people who bought their cosplays but they performed the hell out of that character you
know um like my man uh eric the smoke moran he does uh uh an amazing um skeletor you know
i mean he didn't he didn't make the cosplay but i mean he's got that voice now he man that [ __
] right i'm looking at this 350 pound ex-marine you know former pro wrestler you know he puts
his helmet on and he's sounding just like and i'm like that voice is coming out of your
head but that wow like you really are skeletor but the way a formal cosplay contest works now
he might not win you know one on that alone if we did like a hallway cosplay contest like somebody
could walk up and go boom we need you to get there and show that voice and show that performance
and you know get some acknowledgement for it so i think i think it would be cool to uh because you
know they have lightsaber duels sometimes and they have them as cons sometimes i go to the cosplay
and i see people dressed up as certain characters [ __ ] what the duel awards it'll be a dual
wars it'll be like batman versus [ __ ] uh look he already said in the predicate for the 2022
scandal with the dj's you know what that was all i loved blurred khan so much that i wouldn't
even ask y'all for a check i just want to be a part of the [ __ ] festivities and [ __
] but i've seen that too many times where [ __ ] are still so my idea because they
like gave like a [ __ ] skeleton of an idea and they were like huh never thought of that what
i'm gonna do i'm gonna flush this [ __ ] skeleton and i'm gonna just do it like i thought of
it you see that's why i don't talk to people listen i kept listening i kept
blurred khan underwraps for two years i from the first day i said i got mad ideas this
is if you're going you first time i just like let me just don't say the name because somebody
already be at the patent office i'm out you're throwing out a blur con application
too all right cool we about to be exactly that's why look that's why we can't you know as a
people and i you know i i think about this all the time a great opportunity comes to you or is on
its way to you and you're so enthusiastic that you put a post on social media saying something
amazing is coming can't say nothing yet but i'll wait till tomorrow that that can't say nothing yet
he talking to black people that y'all mess this up for me i'ma wait till the contract to sign because
i know y'all gonna mess it up if y'all thinking driving for a job right i'm applying for this
job and oh i know somebody work at target too and you know you ain't get no managing
position we got a weird phone call before we said something about your past and you know it's
the same way with with these creative ideas you just gotta run just make it happen yo it's yo hi i
got mad ideas yo just you know work with me now um i guess what precautions are going to be set in
place come 2022 as like a preemptive strike to stop any [ __ ] that may occur that's a big big
category [ __ ] i mean i mean i mean although we're like a month removed from 2021's blur con
you got a whole 11 months until uh next year's but like has the team discussed anything is there
anything that's you know it's concrete nails or anything that you're you know thinking about
that's like 80 percent there that we're going to do like is there anything like somewhat solid
or solid well it's just really interesting because you know with five months of planning and
what could have very well been a hugely diminished crowd we actually ended up
doing more in expanding blur con in 2021 than we would have normally done in you
know any other year uh before we had the third stage it was a whole concert going on two
days you know almost 12 and a half hours per day concert running outside in a parking lot act
after act dj after dj you know led wall i mean you seen the video it was an amazing stage uh
so that's going to happen again uh you know for 2022 uh you know we're gonna do a lot of stuff
that's thematic i mean i'm really really excited about the homecoming uh theme you know yes
i'm a product of hbcu and that experience is almost inherent with homecoming to the point
where the the black people who went to pwis or anyone who went to a pwi they look at the
title homecoming and it kind of cocked their head to decide so what exactly is happening
next year everybody who went to or is me with the black college experience is like oh [ __ ]
oh man it's going to be this is going to be that because they know you know what that connotation
is i think i have all white drumline or some first of all white bands don't have a drama it's
like that that's that one dude on [ __ ] what's the name on the drum line i was just beating
that baby oh you're talking about big percy you gotta have it uh but yeah like
doing doing uh you know a band maybe some type of small limited parade depending
on what kind of route we can get christopher um you know maybe doing uh some step teams
come through and and do a little something uh from local colleges and it really depends on as
well because summertime everybody's scattered to the whims so trying to do those negotiations now
and figuring out what we can bring about is going to be important uh this also may uh color some of
the uh content as far as what panels are submitted uh we're also looking at maybe some of the guests
you know that we might bring about that are thematically within in that theme or the cosplay
you know that we might be looking at there's a there's a lot of ways of inserting which is
really the the art behind blurred con is each year we have to find a way to take the black experience
and weave it into the nerd experience and make it look seamless because if it's just nerd nerd nerd
black you know it's going to be weird you know and i i it's a very very fine line between black
nerd and black excellence we could very easily it would be the easiest thing in the world to make
black blur con a black excellence festival because anybody black who's doing anything could come but
i'm like we got to stay in the nerd lane in order for blurred con to be blurred con so the guests
that we bring you know like if they don't have a voiceover for an animated character or they're not
doing something sci-fi or at least horror you know we you know i can't really do a whole lot with
you because it's not a pop culture con in that way um so trying to weave that in like with the
barber shop you know there was some amazing uh uh responses we got to the barbershop both in 2019
and in 2021 we partnered with this group called clip dart and his brother is out on the west
coast and he's got an app and he sends through his foundation black barbers to white colleges to give
the black students at those white colleges edges she's giving chad a fade i don't know get well
i mean chad may want one but he's really there to give free haircuts to the black students
at the white colleges because if you're in ames iowa you know yeah where's your black
barber you know and you're running around with your ears all fluffy trying to figure
out what to do since some of those are yukon no hey he might already be with it but she
actually worked with us and we got the two barbers we got one of them was from colorado flew in one
flew from arizona and i mean that dude those dudes were doing some serious work so we're going to
be partnering with them to expand that next year um and then again you know musical guests you
know i got i want to get a go-go band this year weren't really able to make it happen last year
but really really really want to go go band and everybody i'm talking to about it i'm like i
gotta have a horn section as long as i got a horn section i don't care as long i don't care you know
i just just we got to make that happen um but a lot of what you saw in 2021 will be replicated in
2022 i don't think it was going to be a whole lot of nuance or or things that we're going to add to
it structurally beyond that i mean i think we've cemented the spades tournament is we figured out a
way to make that work because that was bigger than the the room that it was in in 2019 and now we
got a way to uh to make it pop and make it as big and as expansive as we need it to be [ __ ] you
talking about some black [ __ ] there's some black like you're like i love the black i love like the
blackety black [ __ ] that you implement though like like the spade [ __ ] like i like when i
saw that [ __ ] i was like yo i'm gonna shed a [ __ ] tip man well you know it's funny because
you know there is a line because there are some people who get like like oh man that's too black
i don't think they can get it i'm like even if they die that's because they worry about white
people we we ain't worried about white people no it's not white people it's black people who
don't know how to play spades because you know yeah going to teach you
how to play too many of how spades in black america you
can't walk up on those [ __ ] where's your where's your daddy daddy where's
your uncle i'm not your family i'm not teaching you to play space nobody wanted tj play
space so that part of the black community and remember it's a spectrum you know you got
the the black community that have had the black experience and the products of it and then there
are the people who are black who have not had the black experience right because they're from
sanford north carolina or you know booganook south carolina or whatever whatever and they're
coming to get it you know and i think it's similar when you see who's coming to the hbcus a lot of
the black people to go to hbcus will tell you i grew up in a white neighborhood you know i've
lived in this area all my friends are white i want all these white schools and i was like you know i
really need to connect with my people so i'm going to an hbcu so i can connect with my customers
with my people exactly and those folks are are i think there's a lot of them that are using
blurred con as kind of that same way like wait you know i don't have like a black environment for
my cousin then you come in and then it's like i mean look y'all were there in 2019.
Yeah right and
you saw the faces of at least one or two people who obviously had never been in the room lost
fire in the sauce never seen this many black people anywhere ever for any reason and they're
just kind of like frozen in an awe just kind of looking around and don't really know what to do
yeah those are the ones that i'm like okay space tournament that might go over some people's but it
ended up being a really positive experience what i would add is maybe we have a panel on friday
if the spades tournament's on saturday we have a panel that teaches the fundamental of spades for
people who don't know it right that's dangerous we're just going we're just going to go through
the fundamentals of bit with the fundamentals what's a cut book how do you bid what's board
what's a boston boy that might be a setup because some you know somebody like oh i'll watch this
fundamental get in there with somebody who really plays spades and then they're like
yo you gotta get off the table right now almost got in a fist fight with my
frat brother in atlanta over a spade game man i thought he was going to kill
me in the parking lot because i cut it why did you tell me you had
that book yeah i mean nobody i was cutting diamonds the whole time i swear to god nah but y'all like
it's kind of like like a write-up passage like you know if you get like if
somebody cut your books you gotta fight about it afterwards like yeah we gonna
be boys again though like it's so good but it's just like punching your face though oh
yeah some people might not be scared we gotta and advanced mm-hmm somebody come up and say
hey you you you know can i play with you be like let me see your wristband yeah
yeah they're only in base form if you if you got a green wristband set that [
__ ] beginner table don't talk to me hey if you got a yellow i might go [ __ ] with you red but
you know for advanced players people snuck in and we didn't even think about about it this way but
because it wasn't intended to be this way but uno is a black game oh yeah in ways that that we're
really just i mean it wasn't designed as that but that's our it's only a black game because
we cheat it's not cheating my [ __ ] will throw withdrawal yo we'll throw eight draw fours
on a [ __ ] be like yo nah ain't no rule that say that [ __ ] come on we ate how the
[ __ ] you know you know you know the rules yes now you take down here take this whole
deck or you only say uno on your last card you gotta pick up some more like what the
[ __ ] like i ain't put the card down yet i hate that so they were playing both at the
tournament so we could probably include that too so we're anyway yeah that's the whole idea
yes bringing bringing in as much blackness into the nerd space as we can and uh you know
so that it is unique i mean there's really you know people ask me like what's the secret
sauce for blur con and i'm like it's really it's the people and it is what we can do that other
kinds can't do you know i mean you don't have the institutional dna at all all-white convention to
do a spades tournament without people getting back you know i mean no that's what it really is almost
literally what it's called and you know if you were to do it like you people might get offended
like black people if you did a space tournament at your local just regular con run by joe
blow white guy like y'all would be like uh i'm not he's [ __ ] you know it's yeah
like it's pandering i'm uncomfortable not sure what's you know you got the henny on
the side because we're in the space that we're in ain't no henny on the side ain't no fighting
ain't nobody uncle [ __ ] on the grill when the when the barbecue truck got pulled
up for the first time in 2018 and i saw he was wearing white socks with crocs and he was
making his barbecue sauce out of he had a big old tray like a tub cans of coke 45.
And i thought
i thought he was selling coke 45 and i was like i wanted one i would never go into a you know a
liquor store buy from five i'm like hey it's hot there's a cold 45 and he's like nah man that's
for my barbecue sauce i said oh [ __ ] if you're making your barbecue sauce out of code 45 yeah
come right i'm sold you gotta tell me nothing else i'll be back let me know when the grill is fired
up it's been there every year since i mean you know and even with the with the food truck rally
you know we we curate as many like there's only two trucks that are not black owned out of the
16 that come to blur con and one is a pizza truck and one is uh the noodle truck we're just not
doing noodles yet when we get to doing noodles i'll call you know the brother but right now we
ain't got nobody doing it we're gonna buy doing that and so people are like even looking at these
black owned trucks you know you got the jamaican vegan truck and you got the barbecue truck and
you got the slider truck and the ice cream truck and you know we're all doing it you know but
uh you know where however we can insert it in you know every year we want to do something new
and that's how we do it yo i i ain't gonna hold you those food trucks is where [ __ ] caught a lot
of action at the food trucks like y'all be going to these parties and all that chicks get hungry
and it was a lot of action from food trucks man food is a universal aphrodisiac you can
you can get like girl you want to reap like that sound biblical i think i
think adam said that one real one you know but yeah i mean it's like we had the
opportunity baby can i buy you a finished sandwich right right you know like being able to eat and
and you people take that for granted sometimes there's a lot of cons that are subject to
you know whoever's signed a contract with the convention center and you you go to
the convention center it's like you know it's the same for sandwich places you know and
you're kind of like oh okay whatever whatever but then if you have the opportunity to bring
16 food trucks running around the clock for three days right you know people don't think
about food like the food is an experience the music is an experience right that people are
taking the memories from this time that they're spending at the con i mean look if you take a
moment in time and you attach an emotion to it people will never forget it right and that might
be food that's an emotional connection like oh i heard frankie beverly mays came over to dj speaker
while i bit into this rib and i saw my ancestors and the pretty woman dressed in a cosplay came
over and said my name and boom you will be in your graves thinking about that memory like yeah that
was a good day right and all we got to do is get out of the way and let y'all have those moments
and not try to overcook it yeah like the ones who never went there they bought in some some
some freshly made chicken and [ __ ] like that all right i guess i belong here [ __ ] you buying you know it's funny but that's actually
the experience i had with the barbecue truck i can't actually i i talked to them
to the man uh stackhouse i was like dude i can't handle barbecue because the i just
kicked out you know stuff in fact you know if i'm if i'm eating this because i'm eating
like when i'm eating i'm hungry hungry you know and if i go into my room and i'm just
trying to eat peace because i can't eat in peace because everybody needs me for something if
the sun can see me everybody can so i'll get them and then the itis kick in and then i'll go
to sleep you know rome will burn while i'm knocked out i can't do that so i gotta put that
stuff in the fridge and hit it on on tuesday you know i'll buy it today but i'm gonna hit it on
tuesday because it's you know i just can't do it right really really really but yeah 2022 is
going to be special i think this is going to be i really think we're going to be in a better place
as far as kovid i do not anticipate us having any coveted restrictions as far as the you know
mandates and stuff like that uh you know i mean don't put anything past america and americans to
you know screw up a good trajectory but i you know i think next summer we'll have us under control
um and we can kind of get back to normal you know and um this is there are there are a
lot of cons that are not coming back and we're starting to see it like there's people
looking on the account like didn't you know xyz khan used to be here on account like now they yeah
they're not coming back because you know and uh yeah so i think we're going to be in a really good
place and we're going to put on a really good show and like i said we take this stuff and strive you
know this this is uh our job you know you you take on the responsibility if you create a convention
it's not going to ever be perfect it's something that you're constantly perfecting and you know
you try to do it and as constructive and as in as thoughtful away as you possibly can and you
know like i said there's there's always going to be half of the community that's skeptical about a
con like blurred con that's just this is how how we're built and uh but 50 is a lot but yeah i mean
you saw it you saw you saw what we did on year three like we forget 2019 is was year three we
had two years of experience running the con before 2019 that was a two-year-old convention happening
in its third year the year you saw it and if we get any kind of longevity and if we're able to
have any type of growth that is commensurate with any other convention you know we will end
up being that 10 or 15 000 person convention before we get you know past 2026 and so we're
always going to have to be growing and expanding and changing you know because stuff we're doing
today might not fit two years from now there's stuff we're doing in year one that don't fit
this year uh and you know like i said you know it there's there are people like i talk about the
crazy folks on the far far far far fringes of it but the funny ones are the ones that talk about
us every year and then they come back every year and i see them at the con having a
ball shaking ass at the parties and you know just high-fiving everybody
having a great time and i'm like okay let me let me let me tell you here's the cycle
that's the cycle blur con 2019 changed my life you know you got me some action i ain't gonna
sweep anybody else you got me some action i got you action got me you created this con oh oh i
thought you liked that no no no no no no no no no no no but you you created this
kind i went there [ __ ] transpired and then you know appreciate you my brother
now oh some things i cannot take credit for i'm gonna [ __ ] if you want to or
not i'm giving you the credit yo without you listen this you know what never mind three top five yeah no top three oh well that's
what it was yo you two [ __ ] you have to relax we'll talk offline and talk um yo if y'all haven't heard of [ __ ] blur account
recap of 2019 you can go ahead and check that out now so um now i wouldn't go uh try to um book
my ticket for 2022 and is the hotel still giving discounts or no yeah yeah if there are rooms
available the room block uh is posted in the facebook group i don't know if it's on the page
yet we're doing a revamp and moving our server uh at the moment so uh i don't know if it's on
the page yet but if you go to the facebook page where we keep it pretty much purely uh learn con
information it's like maybe three or four posts down where the link is and i think that's probably
109 or 112 dollars a night is the room rate also anybody out there who's thinking who's on the
fence about getting the vip we got about 50 vip badges left like they there's like
150 of them have already been sold it might be more uh checked a day ago
but people are really buying the vips and there's yeah i've got out last year was the
first time that we really really leaned into vip and i'm telling you there's only so many we can
do i caught so much flack not flak but people really disappointed because they were on the fence
and they were waiting for their cousin and they went to the and then once they sold out they were
like helen can you give me one more and i'm like like the tickets that are in a you know they're
online at a at a certain number and i can't like go back and change it so get that because it's
going to be off the hook this year we're doing some really innovative stuff uh la i don't know
if you heard but we did some really cool stuff with uh quiet ordinance technology based out of
charlotte north carolina it's those uh silent disco uh earphones so you guys familiar with
those oh yeah neon joys and you could set the uh music to what you want and party exactly required
those [ __ ] bouncing around but you don't know what they bounce into actually these were
a little more mundane we give it to people in the vip got them for free and what we did was
that we put microphones in two of the main uh panel rooms and so even if you weren't in the room
for the panel you could turn to channel one or two and there would be two panels that you could
listen in on even if you didn't get into the room and so people really took advantage of that there
was a third one that we were piping in and from uh from the main ballroom in and we're gonna
expand that and do some more things with it uh musically and uh you know content-wise for
2022.
Uh we're definitely gonna have you know the uh dedicated uh registration uh for vip so
you're not gonna be standing in line because we did have more of a line this year than i've ever
seen a blur con it was around the corner up the street you know it was crazy like on friday i'd
never seen it like that but that's the enthusiasm of the people and we're you know we're used to
it now um and then uh you know the parties you know are going to be able to hook with this what
we did this year that was revolutionary we did a late night party called the pre-dawn and we went
from 11 o'clock to five in the morning on saturday you know so so you know i normally a hotel
party in any hotel lights on 1 30 everybody out day away at the [ __ ] room by two i was like
nah i just people got too much energy i told the hotels like if you don't want people screaming
and running around acting crazy in the middle of the night that's how you do it but if you
let them in that room and you let them dj spin we can have them crawling on their
bellies out of there they'll be so tired they're not going they don't want to do nothing
after that and then y'all can have a quiet place and everything and they were like okay let's do
it so we had we had a seven it was roughly seven hours with the party with the concert that
we had with afro kokoba so there's a lot of renovated i mean uh revolutionary stuff that we
did that we're gonna repeat and uh and expand on so just keep an eye out for the uh announcements
and uh you know hopefully the guest list will be able to expand you know once covid starts clearing
up you know we got some ideas and some folks who want to reach out to but you know we'll see what
the fall holds okay so right after this episode is up i'm gonna go ahead and book my ticket and uh
hopefully you know we can get to 2022 without any crazy viruses [ __ ] covet whatever the [ __ ]
and we can just go there and have a good black ass time with your shot man just get it just
i'm gonna go with this little body i know it's the illuminati just let them have it man i know
it's the nanites just take the nail out there look look we going this is
this look i know in 30 years we're going to be the borg and they're going
to face it back to this shot but for now let's just do it just now my whole thing is that
stop calling a vaccine when it's just a shock it's not it's not a cure-all it's just a [ __ ] shot
to make sure you don't [ __ ] get the worst of the symptoms stop calling the vaccine vaccines cure [
__ ] just don't cure [ __ ] no a cure cures stuff vaccines prevent you from doing exactly what they
do that's why it's like it keeps you from dying that's all it is that's all it is so when you get
sick you know you get a little sniffle a little red eye your homeboys can still hang with you be
like look at you got a little red eye there look at you dude yeah coven covered ass you know but
just joking you can joke with kovit when you get the shot now if you don't have the shot and you
get cold with you'll be like oh man you got your affairs in order like you don't want that legal
stuff i don't want i don't want to lose nobody else to covet i'm telling you i'm i'm i'm mad at
covid yeah man it's ruined my life you know it's you know it's got air it just it's the it's the
worst thing that i could have ever met a comet could have hit earth and done less damage to
the world killed less people than this damn virus i mean depend on where it hit obviously but
still i'm like dang it messed up my khan world i didn't know all my friends went to cons i didn't
know that all the people that i considered friends i would see them at cons i thought i had
all these friends that lived around me and ain't nobody living there i'm like oh wait
what's wait where y'all at man oh new jersey damn i thought you lived you know because you see
him at magfest and you see him at all the comments he didn't work on and you see him at you know
katsukon he's like oh yeah maryland dc maryland dc well yeah boston boston damn i'm
going to boss going to [ __ ] races you're not going to boston yeah i've
been in the races as boston that's racism yeah you know so yeah i miss it i miss the world
so hopefully we'll be we'll be safe and back in in business soon yeah so hopefully you'll see all
three of us at uh blur con 2022.
Um hilton is the anything else that we didn't cover that you want
to say is there any you know feeling that you want to put out there any statement you want to put
out there anything that you want to say in closing you know the the thing that i've always wanted
for blurred con is what has shown to be true uh time and time again even when we get stuff wrong
i want people to look at blur con as their con and if the solution you know requires your input
as a community or requires your volunteerism as a community uh or just you
know you communicating with us that's what i'm looking for you know there's
there are cons out there that people look at as this administrative function that
they can they could give a damn about and i think a lot of the anger and even a lot of
the hurt uh that some people felt about this last issue was because they love blur con and they
love the blurred community believe and even if if that turned into anger toward us you know
it still comes from a place of love you know and i've always wanted that for bloodcon and i am
convinced that if we continue to have dialogue and realistic expectations of one another from the
management and the leadership to the attendees and the participants you know there's really
nothing that we can't get past and you know like i said i'm just a nerd like everybody
else here you know and my black experience is projected onto the convention and uh the
community shapes the direction that the con goes for the most part you know i don't do anything
that that the con that the khan community doesn't enjoy that doesn't make any sense so your
continued feedback your continued engagement is always going to be beneficial to the convention
even when you're mad even when you you know you're kicking stuff over at your house or cussing
us out in private chats or whatever you know that's still okay as long as at the end of the day
we're all working toward a better convention and the betterment of the community you know because
like i said there's a lot of folks out there who may not be bold enough to reach out to me
directly i understand that you know people are very non-confrontational in the blurred community
and that's fine yeah you know an email you know a message you know uh hit the questionnaire
it's anonymous you know just put your put your suggestions out there at the end of each
convention that's what we need that is support of black business is even when we get it wrong
or even if you see something that needs drastic and immediate correction that we're all on board
to make that happen because 2022 is going to be so dope just because of us having to go through
some of the things that we had to go through to get 2021 right and these types of discussions
this type of dialogue is important so i really appreciate you guys inviting me on i know it was
it was there was some fits and starts with the scheduling and stuff but i was like no it's all
good as many opportunities as we have to talk about these issues and talk about this collective
project that we're kind of on which the con is there's no way we can lose there's no way that
we can not have a fun weekend and uh have stories that my man is going to talk about as soon as we
get on right i mean you you gave them [ __ ] to interview first but shout out to them appreciate
them getting all the other questions out the way because i have three hours to just sit here and
ask you all that [ __ ] but you know you answer most of it i i think from what i've heard heard
from them head nurse in charge and what we asked here i think you pretty much covered everything
if you revisit this thing again when it comes to i guess like there's a whole i guess case with
like not sexual assault but like revenge point whatever the [ __ ] contests whatever the case
may be i think you pretty much covered all bases now all we have to look for is 2022.
Uh my [
__ ] appreciate you for being as black as you are don't want throwing the blackest convention
that weakness that i can think of um you know coming up on blur con 2022 we'll probably
talk to you again to see what what you implement or initiatives that you have or if any
things change you know whatever the case may be probably talk to you uh then but coming back
down here man look we got cons that's gonna happen this year and if y'all feel safe enough
to come out man this come me i will be at other cons i will find somebody to go i don't like going
places by myself i gotta find somebody who is cats he don't really like people i don't really
[ __ ] for that i don't really push it boom this nick this [ __ ] i don't know what he'd
be doing he'd be tired of a whole bunch of other [ __ ] i don't be asking no question i'll
be like yo you won't do it he said yes or no either he will he ain't okay cool i gotta find
other people to go i mean i can go down there and make friends probably but it's just like i
don't like initially going down there by myself i don't go nowhere by myself i said what has a
court no i have a choreographed group of people that's gonna be there with me or meet me there
so i'm with you uh i'm comfortable in crowds but you know i got a mission so i gotta have my people
with me right so if you go look if you go to a con blur con is gonna be there i'm gonna be there
you'll have people there and you know the con we bring a little bit of blurred khan with us
everywhere we go so you know we'll be going to cons this fall i'll be at anime nyc i'll be at new
york comic con i'll be at neko con i'll probably be down at mo at momo's winter fest uh in december
too uh afropunk uh in uh september down in atlanta you know so i i'm out here promoting blur con and
and doing partnerships and stuff so if y'all look at something you hear that we're going to be there
man y'all family come on through pull up how many you look listen hey bye pull up you can hear the
sound of my voice pull up hillary's gonna be there you can ask maybe anything that we didn't ask

solid like fan base dog i don't know who gonna pull up the wood though i don't know but uh you
know as always you know hillary i appreciate you thank you for coming on and expressing everything

Um and that was our interview with
him george shout out to hilton uh gave us a lot of insight on what stop blaming
that [ __ ] for the [ __ ] he didn't do it all right he he got nothing to do with
the judges acting on his own accord and i got nothing to do with them he don't deserve
that smoke deserve that smoke for the judges her hilton is not and he put a space tournament
in the goddamn goddamn he is not anti-black okay so reserve your judgment i like that shirt
bobby oh thank you um what are we doing uh not topics uh picks yeah what do we got

usually move with some fancy [ __ ] uh so um what's it called edens zero it's on
netflix it's from the it's an anime from the creator of fairy tale and it's basically fairy
tale but in like space because like they have like a lot of things it's like it looks exactly

got for what you have a pig it's on netflix netflix uh the
witcher nightmare of the wolf that [ __ ] is crazy um it's i'm thinking it's
made by the same people who made castlevania because they kind of got the same style because
[ __ ] basically getting ripped the [ __ ] off and it's it's like a it's sort of like
a prequel uh gerald is in it but he's a kid but it's not about him it's about his yeah
yeah yeah yeah so i was watching i think mentor that and that was kind of good you might get mad
at the beginning though because uh black people either they kill some black people
or they kill some white women no they they kill some [ __ ] but they they killed them
killed them like that oh they like slaves rated just white people [ __ ] so everyday white
people said everyday white people [ __ ] okay see that [ __ ] i was like whoa the kids
