I don't know if I fully believe him. Um, this might be a pressure tactic to get the leakers to do something because I just can't imagine him not doing the whole retirement year toward things, you know what I'm saying. But on the other hand, I mean, he's thirty eight, so I wouldn't be soprano. Hey, man, he should retire in Cleveland. That's a lot of people feel that way. He should retire Cleveland and Mike win a championship with Donovan, Mitchell and Darren or the retirement. Our team is better than the Lakers, so way better. Would you trade Jared Allen for a thirty eight, thirty nine year old Lebron that you know you're only gonna have for like a year or two? No, no, no, no, no no. Lebron takes the minimal, takes the vet the veterans minimum. You trade Jared Allen for like a Molique Monk? Would you do that? Maybe if he was willing to take the minimum, which I doubt. Yeah, Well, I we'll see, man. Well, listen, I had to get a little sports because I ain't talking.

You know, y'all like ey, So anything's possible. Um that this is, this is interesting. You need to pay attention to. It's certain things, you know what I'm saying. It's certain things that pay attention to. Why are you talking about that? That segued me into our hot topics? While you know, as we as we run on into the show. So Derek Jackson and his wife have has officially called it quicks. They are they are getting they are divorced or getting or in the process of getting divorced. And she says in an interview, and I want to make sure I pronounce her name right, is uh Dania Dania U Dania Jackson is okay. So Dnia says that during the time she knew that her husband, Derek Jackson, this uh self proclaimed relationship guru guy or expert, have been cheating on her. She said that she used to go on the women's pages that he was cheating with to see what kind of clothes they were wearing, to see some of their videos and how they were having sex so she could match style and try to game. Why was their sex tapes? That's a girl? First of all, I want to know who I didn't know if she was, she might have been the camera lady. I don't know. But all I'm saying is all I'm saying is this woman says she went to Great Lake to try to um. She tried to emulate these women, thinking that's what he wanted and if she was those things, he would choose her. And it is the same that there are women out here like that. But this is a class example of men like Derek Jackson who go get a very plain, chained, insecure woman that they know that they can clean up and she'll look damn good, but they'll never give her that option. And they messed with the trash while they put the queen on the mantel. Wow, and and and you know, he knew what he was getting. He knew he couldn't have done that with any of them thoughts. He was out there, you know, the community community. P Okay, he's for the streets, and that's what he was. But she thought she could save him with a little prey at a bonnet. Okay, But she learned real quick that this is just a dog. I mean, let's just keep it real. There are people who just ain't do to no matter how you slice them. Dice just ain't do Tom And he you know what, Cocode. You know the problem I had with Derek Jackson was this, Okay, you set up here and and and you dog black men publicly and said that black men at cheat was was it nothing that you you you spoke all this venom on black men, and yet you are worse. You are worse because yeah, because you actually was you was you was just like the black man you talked about. Yes, you you built your whole Yes, yeah yeah. Kevin Samuels first came out, Kevin was doing the same thing. When he realized he wasn't getting the amount of love and and likes and follows by calling black men out, he decided to flip it and call black women out and realized his following grow tremendously when he was out here saying all the things and being just as mean and nasty and cruel and everybody put it under the guys if he keeping it real and some of y'all candle the truth. No, you need rose putting hands the truth when he first came out. So we had to clip the game. So trust and believes. Derek Jackson knew with the way he looked, and he had this instecure a little home body wife at home that he could get up there a pander to every black woman with his little muscles and stuff and say all that stuff we wanted to hear and make us feel empowered and we're not alone. And he could use that to his advantage to not only get a check but to also get some booty. He didn't do nothing different than Kevin Samuel's. He just flipped it. Yeah he's a corn ball, but you know a cocon. I know we gotta run on with the show. But I do agree with you that he's a corn ball. And yeah that's that's what. Yeah, I'm pretty baby girl. He heals because she is a beautiful girl, and I pray that she does not you know, that she gets the healing and the help that she needs because he prayed on her. That he had that girl sitting up there looking like she lived in a closet eighteen hours out there. No, she does look good. I've seen I've seen it, and now she came out herself and she does look like I pray. Yeah, yeah, I pray for Derek Jackson Park two girlfriend, he before you get back out here in these streets, because unfortunately it's way more Derek Jackson's than it is decent. Brothers, I hate to break it to your baby. Yes, trouble darby real quick. Rick Ross in Fadville, Georgia might be making a political run for mayor. Can you know that's my whole that's where's that's my city? Yeah, way. You know, the mayor down there, they shut down his annual was his his car show he was gonna do at his house. They shut it down. So so he I'll give my political observation and then I want to hear Coco stots, especially because you're down there. But I mean, why not? He has America loved celebrities, and we love, we love voting for celebrities, not only just the previous president, but Jesse, Jesse the body vent Tour was governor. You know what I'm saying. Arnold Schwartzenega. Ronald Ragan was an actor before he became governor and then president. So we we like voting for uh pain from wwe is in Tennessee right now? Yeah? Right, so so we like America love celebrity culture, and it's only gotten worse over the years. So hell why not? But what do you think that since you down there? Well, my thing is this, Yes, it's all about the celebrity and all of that. And yes he has multiple wingstop locations in Sayingville, but you have to understand the climate and the temperature of Fayetteville. Fayetville is not millennials that can vote, but Fayetteville is families, older families, retired people. The majority of fayreevillein gonna who the hell he is, so his platform better be very strong. He cannot rely on. He's Rick Ross, the rapper, Rip Ross, the person that Ross, the celebrity, not for Fayetville. Because where he lives. It's so funny, how pay it Bill splits where he lives. He lives in the upper part of Fayreville. Now, yes, you may have yes, right there on the border of Old National Highway. And if anybody know about Old NAT you drive down that with your lights on and don't even worry about the speed limit. So right there at the beginning of where he lives, up until right before you hit the good part of Fayttville, there's a there's an element, you know. It's you know, people that finally got some money, you know what I'm saying. And then you get in to Old Fairville. A lot of white folks, a lot of Republicans that don't get me wrong, we have a black mayor. Now he's actually speaking at my event on Saturday. Great guy, awesome, awesome guy. I have met him. He is so down to earth, so cool. But he's also somebody that understands the temperature of Fairville. It is family oriented and it's steeped in traditional values. So I'm just very curious what Rick's platform is going to be because if he's trying to come after the whole I'm a celebrity, I'm a rapper, I'm Rick Ross, he might not have a shot in Helen Favorville. Well, let me say this as we wrap out the show and my guest, I want him, Demetris. You want to thank Demetris for coming on. I've seen him. I think he had had to pause for a second. But let me take the time to plug the Pink and Black Honor Daddy, go there, Detris, We want to thank you brother. Do me a favorite, give me a pick a quick plug for the Pink and Black Honors. Yeah.
