@@dedebean7804 Glad you found these stamps useful 😊👌🏾

The “don’t call me, don’t come by my house we’re done” has me in tears every time 😂

[@gwendolynegutierrez6087]

Quit worrying about other people souls, save your own..... NO LIES TOLD!! Go one, Preacher Tony!! People get up in arms about the WRONG DAMN THINGS.

[@Passion84GodAlways]

(38:32) Tony brought up some GREAT POINTS regarding the reception that some Black actors receive when they choose to play - or not play - certain characters!!! 💎💎💎

[@DeathofTakeo]

Most underrated podcast.

[@hedgehogfunds]

Tone is my favorite lately. Thank you for the smiles. Much Needed

[@TonyBakercomedy]

You are so welcome!

[@LylesNate]

Thanks for bringing your pov on black actors into the conversation. 🎬✊🏽👑 Lets not put our art, talents, and influence in a box.

[@ej6388]

Tony, I need you to write a thesis paper on water lol

[@LadyTam716]

I just popped the top on a cold soda and got mad conviction from the first few seconds of this podcast off my water intake 😂😂😂😂

[@tjax5534]

Lots of gems today Tony! I feel you 1000% on the gym tunes. I’ve forgotten my AirPods a few times and had to cut that gym session short. I need MY music! 🤣. The sauna story was HILARIOUS! Folks are comfy putting the chicken cutlets on stroll🤣🤣🤣

[@saturns_eyes]

That rant about the gang and drug violence is real Tony. I grew up in Roseland in Chicago on 112th. I saw my first murder at 9. A young boy shot in the head right in our driveway. He was trying to hide or run idk. I they tried to tell me to stay in the back of the house but i snuck and saw his body. I can still remember seeing the blood coming from his head although i wasnt close enough to see any brains.

[@SOULTRANADA]

Tony was spitting at the end of

The ear tips in the sauna!!! I felt that!!! 😂😂😂. I hate that! Ears just baking rotisserie style 😂

Man, y’all run these numbers up. (Tony’s voice)

[@KingRo22]

Had to run and get my water but I'm ready!!!

Lesson of the Day: Dont get stuck as Cowboy Curtis, you are multifaceted. and, yes, this show IS growing.

You are worth their time, Tony. Lol. Glad to see another episode.

“Mercedes is too flashy. I like BMW.” Tony is definitely a cat person.

Verbal cardio is great. This is like the perfect even amount of funny and smooth talk for a work day. I love here's the thing but it can be too loud sometimes.

[@DJ-wl9iw]

Let’s not pretend that Hollywood is being called Hollyweird for no reason. It is what it is. My son is out there as a professional dancer and absolutely works his connections. However I’ve heard many stories of what goes on behind the scenes. It’s on those who want to be out there to decide what they will and will not do to be famous. As for us viewers you’re right we can pick and choose what we support and I certainly do.

[@whatdavethinks1676]

When I tell you this man WAS COOKIN’ this episode!!!

[@407Wavy]

You right.. as much as we love De'Aundre Bonds being Stacey in The Wood . We remember that Lockdown role forever.

[@bryansl0587]

I went to the gym once, like it was a drive, and didn't have my headphones. I went home. I need my sounds man

[@AllThingsLoud_]

That topic on the depiction of characters and their impact on reality is deep. I disagree with some of the specifics you stated but I get the message

[@knowledge5106_]

Dang Tone, the dealership hit you with the Verbal Cardio fists from your background 👊👊

[@daresseowens335]

I just love this show Tony! Keep them coming 😊❤

[@courtneyware9034]

I have to listen to the gym music because if I'm the DJ ... I focus more on what song I'm going to play next than just doing my workout. Lol. I have Playlist but there are still songs I want to skip. Also, we love verbal cardio! I am looking forward to seeing you back on the road. I got engaged at your DC show bald brothers. We said our vows this past Saturday. ❤

That's why a lot of people lease their luxury vehicles. I think all repairs are covered.

[@geeman8332]

750 LI BMW has always been one of my favorite cars

[@_ileaj_]

He's back❤

[@mimimileigh2484]

This ep was so good. I agreed with everything except that Hollywood is just entertainment. Media is programming and the example you gave about Nino Brown supported that. But this was so well said. Worry about ya own damn soul.

[@viclynn33]

Ain’t nothing better than water. 👍🏼

[@DaveGrowl-fd7gz]

Love this podcast ton 🙏🙏🙏you're funny asl

[@adriane23]

I never thought I’d be a BMW driver, but I ended up buying a BMW X4 M40i last December. I’m in love with it, but I’m dreading those future maintenance bills 😅

[@RandomlyCJ]

Midnite is 100% watching this and don't care nothing about what Tony said. 🤣🤣🤣

[@DJ-wl9iw]

If I don’t have my headphones I’m not even entering the gym. Back home I go. I already don’t want to be there but no headphones is the kiss of death

[@kimf2361]

The old naked man and his cheeks 😅😅

[@chucqie]

Tony also got my dream car the BMW batmobile bruhhh

[@kevinspencer3242]

I also listen 0ld school love songs and easy listening so I'm paced ..........lol but straight looking at me you would think lox, DMX, styles P, juvenile

[@Bobby_June]

Even though you’re not supposed to folks be pouring water on the heat element to raise the humidity 😂😂😂😂

[@aharris82]

Having my headphones when I go to the gym or on the bus/train is a MUST, most people are inconsiderate and talk too loud or play music that I can't stand XD

[@knowledge5106_]

I watched the show and I clicked the bakery link

[@jeromegriffiths4462]

That’s So funny 😂😂😂😂😂

[@seikoellis17]

$4400 for some brakes and a vacuum Definitely would have just traded it in

[@annak706]

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@thechoosychosen]

I don't think the issue is w/BM in dresses. It's w/black straight men cos playing femininity. It's nice to tell parents to raise their kids but most don't. So if a child is looking for a role model...it's easier to pick the BM making money from being 'masculine' then the BM making money from playing dress up. U made solid points tho.

[@shamainmccotry9713]

Yaaay VC is back 🙌🏾❤️

[@EmeraldAriell]

Bro my car been at the dealer 2 weeks Every time they call me they found something else wrong and the warranty don’t cover the extra repairs

[@kingdoksims3432]

Yoooo Tony

[@_ileaj_]

This show is more entertaining than Daddy issues in my humble opinion. I'd be quite saddened if this show were to come to an end

[@malcolmvadermosely1742]

Oh Tony, when you realize that Midnight is the Diety, and Dapper is his half Diety, and you are just a good worshiper, then you will understand this cat thing. Cats love us, but only for what we give, food and love when they decide that we are allowed to give it to them. Otherwise we are just second class citizens to cats.

[@Heemy706]

Midnight , is the punk ass ninja you needed in your life everybody has to have.

[@jacobhayes8324]

What's crazy about the dealership is it likely didn't even take them that long to do it. I got charged like $250-300 to have my license plate switched lol. That's maybe 10-15 minutes. Got charged for like 30-45 minutes.

[@shamainmccotry9713]

😂😂😂 the locomotion

[@knowledge5106_]

Whew I don't take any of my cars to the dealership aka STEALERSHIP. I do most of the work my self & if it's something I can't do I take it to a good shop with great work ethic & prices. I make sure to get cars I can maintain myself.

[@wildboy6718]

Yo I feel ya pain las week I took my car to get transmission repair an was charged 3,020 dollars an two days after I still going through the same problem

[@Vanilagorila130]

75% of my gym time is canceled if I don’t have my headphones smh

[@eklctc]

Yea…people’s obsession with the sexuality and sex lives of other people by way of religion, politics, or whatever mental conditioning they’ve embraced has always been very off to me. The fact that it’s supposedly addressed in the Bible but f*cking babies isn’t, being able to claim a woman after r*ping her is, and many of the other asinine parables found in this book that people let control their lives…is proof that it isn’t a moral compass.

[@djsliderbite]

What about the guy in downtown Chicago that literally tells everyone they are going to hell?

[@krystalification1]

I went on and got Car Shield cause I’m tired of getting over charged for stuff I know nothing about on my car😂 let them pay for it

[@kenp.m.3602]

I'm late but I'm here❤

[@thebeatdown9882]

Midnight leaving hate comments right nah😅

[@malcolmvadermosely1742]

NOT the gym tracklist, with the tini bopper music. that is the absolute worst. I have pretty much built a home gym just to avoid that mess

[@gabriellehorace2289]

Damn.... that's terrible music for a gym!! I would've walked right out, too!!!

[@OfficialMrGrinch]

Water on deck!

[@amazinggrace863]

It's more about emasculation and ritual of the business. Not being corrupted or influenced. When you are in your own box preaching your word with no one questioning what you're saying. Your words are of course, absolute. Not saying that you are wrong but to say it's only influence is not the whole story. I also guess we shouldn't be fishermen of men? Pastors and others should just focus on their own self? No community? Therapists should shut down? Worry about themselves?

[@puba2389]

They definitely holding us back but let ah movie need new Life they get somebody Black lol I been trying for years 🥷🕺🏽🛑✋🏻🚪😂😂

[@justpeoples]

I get what Tony is saying about the imagery and kids but the only difference is Nino brown, scarface not on sesame street or any children shows but the other stuff is I don't think no one's sex, or gender, or relationships should be discussed on children shows that's goes for straight gay bi trans just make the shows imagery entertaining for the kids that's a place for them to dream, imagine, and become creative that's all

[@TonyBakercomedy]

Why can’t they be? Me and women relationships are discussed and shown to children all the time.

[@justpeoples]

@TonyBakercomedy that's what I'm saying remove all relationship stuff for the kid shows just focus on the imagination and fun smurfs would still be the smurfs without relationship episodes, now if you want to bring all the relationship stuff into more older type shows like teen appropriate shows that's fine just not the stuff geared towards pre teens

[@TonyBakercomedy]

@@justpeoples do they come on sesame street to discuss sexuality?

[@justpeoples]

@TonyBakercomedy I used sesame street because they tried to change burt and ernie to a gay couple or was that a myth if so bad example

[@TonyBakercomedy]

@@justpeoples lmao.

[@chickenman515]

God said, I don't really like how you handled that.

[@suade925]

Tony, it wasn't fair at all to bring up The Wire and Snowfall in that conversation as far as stereotypical depictions of the drug culture. Those shows were grounded stories that relayed the message of how oppressive policies lead to the unfortunate circumstances that contributed to the lifestyles and choices of many Black Americans. Cautionary tales that gave us something to actually contemplate in the face of sociopolitical issues like the education system, politics and law enforcement that effect our communities and how we interact in them. Don't conflate good art with the b.s. you're discussing. The Wire and Snowfall didn't "glorify" anything. That's part of the reason they were so poignant.
