Ever wondered how a movie like "Head of State" could prognosticate the rise of President Obama? Join us as we celebrate President's Day with a robust discussion on this cultural gem that dared to dream of a black presidency before it was a reality. Professor Tuck's birthday bash sets the stage for a lively exploration of the film's humor, Bernie Mac's unforgettable performance, and the soundtrack that perfectly encapsulates the story's spirit. We don't just stop at the movie's laughter-inducing antics—we also peel back layers to examine its sharp political commentary and foretelling of an unprepared president in the context of recent elections.
This episode isn't your usual political banter; it's a full-bodied conversation that connects the dots between political satire and the real-world mechanics of systematic racism and political scapegoating. Delight in our candid musings on how "Head of State" mirrors the intricacies of gang dynamics in its portrayal of political strategy. But we don't leave you in the realm of fiction for long. We bring it home by highlighting the pivotal role of Congress versus the perceived omnipotence of the presidency, pressing on the importance of being an informed voter and recognizing the power of your voice in the legislative process.
As our talk winds down, we invite you into a more personal space where we share stories of personal boundaries, reminisce about Burning Man escapades, and navigate the complex waters of racial preferences in dating. We candidly address our own biases and extend an invitation to our listeners to reflect on their own. Wrapping up with "Head of State," we grant it four stars and a 'certified hood election' label for its cultural relevance and humor. And before we say goodbye, we encourage you to keep your civic engagement high-octane—vote, participate, and help steer the ship of state. Remember to follow us for your regular dose of nerdy, lovely, and unabashedly patriotic content.

Speaker 1:
What's good nerds? It's President's Day and God bless America. We are back at again with another review and before we continue I gotta say happy birthday, professor.
Speaker 2:
Tuck, yeah, what up, though what up though.
Speaker 1:
What's good man? How you doing you today?
Speaker 2:
Hey, professor Tuck, the birthday boy today. You know what I mean. And I got my last present right here. I'm about to open it. I'm about to open it. What?
Speaker 1:
All right, gentlemen Cook, you guys dude Professor Tuck. It's time for another review. Today's topic is head of state and without further ado, let's go ahead and zone in on it Now. Front and tomatoes and other critics did not like this film, but personally I have to disagree. I feel like it was one of those pre-Obama year movies to where we can only dream of a black person being in the Oval Office. Hell, like even I back in the day, like when I was a kid, I would daydream about being president. But every time I think of that I'm like think of that old throwback, that one Y-Club song How'd I go again If I was president.
Speaker 3:
I'd get a lesson on Friday, assassinated on Saturday, buried on Sunday and then I would go back to work on Monday If I was president.
Speaker 1:
You know like that it was pretty funny, though, like there were some scenes where, okay, first of all, with the political points from Mace Gilliam, I was feeling that because that is true, you know like with welfare, healthcare, income and quality society in general, and then there were just some parts were just funny outside the whole political aspect, where you got his brother Mitch, played by the late great Bernie Mac, just literally punching the shit out of people as soon as they walk up to him, or his ex-girlfriend Kim, to where. Oh, you left me when you assumed that I was going to be this loser, this loser older man in Washington DC, but oh, as soon as I get chosen to be the Democratic Party candidate for president, oh, now you want to fuck with a nigga.
Speaker 1:
Now you want to like all this, ain't it great?
Speaker 2:
Look at him now he's the head of state. Boy boy. That soundtrack was dope.
Speaker 1:
Oh yeah, oh did the soundtrack.
Speaker 2:
Let me see, Let me see, here's a story about a man Boy. That's the only came in boy that ain't just dope what they don't know about, that right now, Okay, music by Mark is the only All right.
Speaker 1:
Well, that doesn't tell me a whole lot, but I'll probably look up the soundtrack later. But, um, you know, with the whole plot, basically, may kill him. He rescued like a cat and some people from this burning building and meanwhile the Democratic Party, the president and the vice president died in the plane crash and they were like, okay, we got scrambled because we feel like we might have lost to this. Um, vice president dude, Brian Lewis, by the way, fuck this dude because he was like oh, I'm vice president, Blah, blah, blah, I'm so jealous, don't cut down.
Speaker 1:
Like what the fuck about that? But all they were like, okay, we need to find somebody who is likable, but most likely he's not going to win this one. And they thought, okay, so this, here's this black dude who just saved some people. It might look good for where. Okay, if he doesn't win the 2004 presidential election, that'll make us look good for the 2008 presidential election. And, funny enough, who gets elected as president in 2008?
Speaker 4:
President Barack Obama.
Speaker 1:
There you go. Oh BZ, now I got that Obama water changed the way you hydrate. Now go get out soon. How are you feeling by head of state?
Speaker 4:
Head of state one of being very good. Funny enough, I know. Right before we was like looking at talking about all the different reviews on to it, head of state wanted to get a whole lot of negative reviews, saying it was entirely not serious enough. It was supposed to talk about what it would be like having your first black president and most of the people who complain were white or less what do you want to call it that way? Whatever case it be, those are the people that mostly complain. So, funny enough, there's a lot of people who now start to see it the way that we were seeing it before. They're starting to see this now because a lot of people have recently gone and rewatched the movie. Go figure, after Trump gets elected.
Speaker 4:
Well well, well, after Joe Biden was elected president and then was like you know what, maybe this movie was a little bit funny, maybe there was some truth in the comedy. There's literally some reviews, or current reviews, of that. Now it's like, oh, there's different truth in comedy.
Speaker 1:
They're looking like Thanos, like perhaps I'll treat you too harshly.
Speaker 4:
Exactly, exactly. This was one of those things of like as funny as it was, it talks about some real shit that would happen, like it's like oh, you think you're really ready not even just so much like ready for a black president? Are you ready to have a president who truly doesn't know what the fuck he's doing and is being run by his political party? And that wasn't something that happened with Obama. He knew, he looked, he went in on what he was trying to do. He went in making changes. That was the thing.
Speaker 4:
But let's be honest, though. We got Trump and then a lot of people really saying it's about Joe Biden right now too. They're like, and I honestly, he's too old, he really don't know what he's doing. The party is running this right now, not him, and this is like becoming a big problem. No, this is some real shit. I bet that movie seemed real funny and truthful. Now it's held on it.
Speaker 1:
You know what, speaking of which, speaking of which, I looked up who we got in current. I'm like okay, democrats, we got Biden and Phillips. Or Pokémons got Trump, haley and Binkley, we got the independent party. Of course, this do feel so on, I'm trying to as it go, I think, phillips on this Democrat elected in the house in 18. I guess policy disagreements with Biden supported his agenda in Congress, but argues that Mr Biden's age and low approval rates mean the party should nominate someone else.
Speaker 2:
So usually when a person is president, they usually screen board the vice president. But what's crazy is the vice president approval rate is lower than the president. That's crazy.
Speaker 3:
That's all it is.
Speaker 1:
The race is saying like oh um Biden just couldn't feel Obama's shoes.
Speaker 4:
I mean, let's be real, though, there was no way for him to do it. Keeping mine on to this. Biden never originally wanted to run. He did not want to at first. That was a big thing for him, he's admitted himself. He was like no, he was backing Obama and that's how he wanted to be kept. It was one of those things where Obama's like yeah, you don't have to run, and he's like Biden did not want to do this. Biden himself said no, I'm too old for that. He literally made that comment before Obama's turn had ended. He admitted himself bro, it was like we kind of forced him in this case, for people's like we absolutely don't want Trump back again. So now we kind of stuck Right back to. Who was that before?
Speaker 1:
Well, hold on. There's the independent service part of where it's like there's this guy, kennedy, this black dude and Jill Stein, but that's about it. In other words, it just kind of feels like okay, it feels like it's going to be a rehab to Biden versus Trump and I'm like I'm here.
Speaker 2:
It's going to be crazy, bro. You know, what's crazy is that like it, don't? It don't really matter who president, it's all a figurehead when you think of the programs of it, but nevertheless, who your head is actually matters. It's just like whoever the king or queen in England, it still matter, even though, even though parliament run everything, it's about the show of force, bro.
Speaker 4:
Yeah, the thing about it is the president.
Speaker 4:
Oh yeah, the president is supposed to be a representation of the people, so it's like this is supposed to be. Who was supposed to represent us for the government? We're saying, hey, government wants you guys to run this country for us, but this is our representative to say how we feel on different things and stuff, and it's like we can't agree as people. So this is not going to work as far as the president seems like, yeah, we can't even agree as people. How's the president going to be able to agree for us? Like that's just, it's a problem. I mean, I know we live on this podcast.
Speaker 2:
I do want y'all to see my crown, though I just you know what I mean, and my president, that boy.
Speaker 1:
Hamilton the musical.
Speaker 2:
I want to tell you how much I look. I know every song, Word for word, bar for bar.
Speaker 4:
But that is my thing on to head to state it's hard to believe. It's obviously there's little specific points into it that I really do enjoy and we'll probably get into that really quick. But yeah, that's just my little one, two general on that.
Speaker 2:
You know, let me just say that a black president is iconic. It's history in and of itself, whether it's in head to state or in real life with Obama, when you don't have no drama, no issues, no mess, and when all they got to talk about you is how you got a tan suit on as long as it's not, amanda.
Speaker 3:
Waller Bro.
Speaker 2:
Can't argue with me on that.
Speaker 4:
We don't need no Amanda Waller. There's no president.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, man. Well, yeah, the, regardless of which which aisle you're on, which which part of it. But look at people policy, bro. Look at the policy and whatever policy you agree with, Vote for that.
Speaker 1:
Forget who it is, because it's about rhetoric to basically you're saying to absorb the message, ignore the messenger.
Speaker 2:
Correct, like it don't matter who it is, vote for policy, bro, long as you vote. No matter who you vote for long as you vote. Exercise your right Right? There's plenty of niggas that got shot. Stab Bit. I couldn't. I couldn't get bit. I ain't gonna lie to you, I was just wouldn't have voted, Bro. Don't don't do dogs.
Speaker 1:
You know, I'm going to be looking up these presidents of candidates Like I don't even know what you're going to be voting this year, Like I just don't know. But um, it's like. I'm just not hold on any of these guys, yeah.
Speaker 4:
That's cause we don't know them Like yeah.
Speaker 1:
Yes, I'm like, okay, I'm going to have to do my research and I'm not feeling any, any of y'all at this point. So I'm like I'm going to have to feel y'all out like midway into this year.
Speaker 4:
But look, here's the thing, though Don't get so distracted with the presidential vote, because this happens every year. Don't get so distracted with the presidential vote that people forget that it's the legislative vote is out. It's already happening right now in multiple, multiple states. Go vote your legislative right now, currently, please, they're the ones who make the biggest decisions on stuff.
Speaker 4:
They decide the money that go on the food stamps. They decide the data ones who create the laws before the president takes a look at them. Like that's very, very important. Please, look, go and vote now. You can vote right now for your legislative branch. Don't pass that up, please.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, how can you take a normal person and make them into a president? That's basically the movie, bro. That's basically the movie. Cause old buddy on Lance. His name was Lance. In the movie Lance was just telling him mind of his business, having the worst life ever. He got his girl to look. He lost his job. He lost his car. It got repoed, bro. Bro was outside in the rain Like what's next? His bicycle got ran over. God, jesus Christ, he was a alderman, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1:
Yeah.
Speaker 2:
And then this dude wrote he's like hey, you know what we should, we should, we should make this a show. I'm gonna win, but let's make this a show. What? Hey, come on, my boy, Just tell him, you, black Bro, what. It's going crazy.
Speaker 1:
Outside of that, it was more about like, okay, maze was trying to do it the old fashioned way, with the bland, boring, uncontroversial speeches prepared for him by the Democratic party, but then his brother was like nah, fuck all that, you do it your way and I'm like all right, cool.
Speaker 2:
But what does that talk about? His brother? Real quick though, cause when he got off that train.
Speaker 4:
Yeah started slapping motherfuckers left.
Speaker 2:
Burnie man.
Speaker 4:
My favorite scene about the whole movie. As soon as you say it, I need to get involved, need to get my brother involved. You like, who was your brother?
Speaker 3:
That clean-ass.
Speaker 2:
Boy what he was dressed the devil, but he hit him with the back.
Speaker 4:
Yeah, he's a big. He faked out one person and then slapped him anyway.
Speaker 1:
You see them like they hold him money so all of them.
Speaker 4:
Do Brothers the can't see? See for the being the next president of the United States of America. Yeah, you owe me money at this point.
Speaker 1:
Now I would say the whole thing with the romance with the gas station. Lisa Kaur, I thought that was kind of cute words like oh, but I barely know you know, you know me.
Speaker 1:
You know me, like come in here every now and now you know me and then you know, basically Maze was trying to be like this great, weird dude, even though he was running for president's, but it was more a man Like I may be running for president, but at the end of the day I'm still human, so I'm like a let's just go on a date, so I just get to know each other and whatnot. You know, I thought it's pretty cute and in the end he Lisa became the first lady. But um, aside from that, essentially Of William and his brother Mitch decide oh yeah, yeah, first girls and um, basically they decided, since Louis wanted to do these um smear campaigns against Gilliam, like some things like supporting cancer or whatnot. Gillian beside to do this on Bugs Bunny of my foot, um Dynamic called kid on kissing his opponent, where it's like part of strategies, like Dubbed of videotape of a lot of Osama and saying that he hates America but loves Brian Lewis. So basically it's like just a whole bunch of smear campaigns and shit.
Speaker 1:
And then, as soon as the election day came close, maze found out the re the main reason why he was chosen to be the party candidate in the first place Fired everybody. They got him back, though, because you know he was like okay, well, I still need. I don't appreciate what y'all did, but I still need y'all. But um, and then, you know, had to debate and Won the crowd over with on his talking points like oh man, I can't even. Uh, they won't, I'm so broke, they won't even take my cash, like that, my credit's that bad.
Speaker 1:
And you know, he was benched with one and became the president. Now Can I pause and say Am I the only one who sometimes get Lynn Whitfield and Angela Bassett mixed up? Because I, swear to God, thought this lady was all Angela Bassett but it was Lynn Whitfield who was also in a thin line between love and hate and I also thought, like, is that Angela Bassett? No, that's not Angela Bassett. I'm like, yeah, man, it's like. I bet you they don't even look like that much, look like that much, but I keep thinking that they.
Speaker 4:
I say, put aside by five picture comparison and see, I mean I myself can't say I can mix up Angela Bassett with anybody else, to be honest with you, because I love Angela like that, so it's me perfectly All right.
Speaker 1:
I am looking them up now. I don't know, man, okay, I mean no, but sort of, but no, it's like kind of there, but no, I'm tripping. You know, just we're talking up the young brain, talking up, as I'm just straight, I'm just.
Speaker 4:
Just talking up to a young brain. That's it.
Speaker 3:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
At least it was kind of like that back in the days where it was like okay, when all I was watching their movies, like it was like between that, like a thin line between love and hate, and what was the other movie? All Well, the girl was like wait an exhale, yes, I was like getting them all crossed up and shit.
Speaker 2:
And let me tell you how fine Tamela Jones is. Yeah, she's fine yesterday too.
Speaker 3:
Boy.
Speaker 2:
I'm trying to tell you she fine Now, hmm, today.
Speaker 4:
We probably like to go focus on that, because you know what all our lovely black women fine. There you go oh that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:
Hey girl magic Dr Uvabrew.
Speaker 1:
Hey, you know what Um that reminds me? Yeah, I just watched the moribos. Yeah, I just got around to watching it.
Speaker 3:
I.
Speaker 1:
Will have a review on. Definitely. But um, let me talk about one of tuss baby mom, um Spectrum or uh, captain rambo, I'm like he was kind of doing her thing, like flying or anything, I'm like okay.
Speaker 4:
She doing her shit, just flying like. So flying is all they gotta be having. Yeah, I owe.
Speaker 2:
I owe her some trust. I'll do it. I know that.
Speaker 1:
Now it's more to it than that cook guys. So just more like I'm saving my full criticism for the review okay.
Speaker 2:
That's fair. What's your main criticism? Define that.
Speaker 1:
I mean.
Speaker 2:
I can't help you criticizing my baby mama on the podcast now.
Speaker 1:
No, actually, actually, I'm gonna be honest with you, like I was trying to save it for a review, but she was the best part of the movie. Hold on, hold on. I thought it was a fun movie. I didn't think it was bad, but it wasn't amazing.
Speaker 2:
Out of all the actresses and actors, who was the best though?
Speaker 1:
It was her.
Speaker 2:
Oh, exactly, yeah exactly that's what she, my baby mama. I mean even hold on even Nick Fury.
Speaker 1:
Trying to move on to somebody else Like it's Even though Nick Fury was in there, I feel like it was a watered down version of him, you know, just kind of like he didn't seem all grizzled like he usually is.
Speaker 2:
So I'm like Are we sure that?
Speaker 3:
was him.
Speaker 1:
Probably not, it's probably a creepy. You gotta think it as well.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, they be transforming bro.
Speaker 1:
Hey, but no, for real, though, for real, though y'all got anything else on Hedda's thing.
Speaker 4:
Okay. So Hedda's thing one of the things I did like about how the political aspect is one of the biggest plot points in the whole movie itself, whereas, like Chris Rock's character, yvanda, having this thing where he's like he's being forced to do things he doesn't want to do and specifically in order to make that particular party look nice, so that way the party could do well, like you know, he's already established for the very next election, so it was purposely for him to be a scapegoat, and it became a much bigger issue when his popularity started skyrocketing and so it created a bunch of big issues within the party where literally his main person he was upset because he's like, no, you're supposed to be a scapegoat, so I will look good on the next election so I can become elected, whereas the secondary person or girl, is sitting here like, look, we gonna go ahead and get you up. Your popularity is skyrocketing and it started bringing a big disdain between the party. This is a big thing about political aspects. That's understanding about what's happening to our country right now is the fact that we we'll constantly use people that stepping stones in order to move up. It's heavily preached upon that we should always be trying to help each other. We should always be pulling each other up While at the same time constantly dealing with the ridicule of people always having to step on us to move up, like one of the things about it is that with Bernie Max character, that was something that he was criticized for in his younger days in that movie.
Speaker 4:
So it was like his character was like oh, he always stepped on other people in order to make himself bigger. He first, he would step on his little brother type of thing. He would always make himself seem bigger and tougher and stuff than his brother and that's just kind of how things wanted him sticky. Then, as things got older, they literally talked about in the movie that that was something that he always kept doing. And it's always crazy in the aspect where, when it comes out of politics, politics is no different from gangs. Like on real shit, they're all just a gang in itself and they're going to use everybody else and hit real whoever else stands in their way in order to try to help them move forward. Because in the end, it's all about that money, it's all about that power and that's one that they just said.
Speaker 4:
that's a very dangerous speech you're talking about on this podcast, but look, each president's day, we are hitting a very hard election right now. We've hit hard elections before Because before it felt like the only thing we was going to deal with was Trump and Hillary Clinton Before. And then we know.
Speaker 4:
And then unfortunately the United States chose Trump, the whole world laughed at us and all types of things and we still having to deal with shit from actions from when he was president. And the bad part about it is and I have to be honest with you they took care of job and it was not all his fault. On real shit, A lot of stuff that got passed. Like I said, like I mentioned earlier, pay attention to your legislative system, Our legislative, our House of Representatives, our Congress. They are the ones that created those laws before it passed on to him. He has no power to create a law. The presidency doesn't have the power to do that.
Speaker 1:
They can create a suggestion, he just signs off, he just told signs on it basically Sure or be told.
Speaker 4:
They can make a suggestion.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, and then they still got to go to the House to the Senate Exactly.
Speaker 4:
But here's the other issue that comes into it as well too If the presidency does decide to veto a law and say, no, this is not good for the people, that can still be overruled and keep in mind. This has happened to Trump and Biden. Both of them have had moments Like I'm not a Trump supporter, but I'm just being honest on this. I have to pay attention to those political views because this affected my kids' lives now Like shit. But it's one of those things of like they can veto a law and both of them have done this. They have vetoed laws.
Speaker 4:
That was actually going to be detrimental for the people. It was gonna be detrimental for our nation as a whole and only beneficial for the rich and the powerful. And the issue was is that those laws still got passed, even though the presidency vetoed them? Because the problem is is that when we wound up not Voting and this was something that actually happened in one of the bills that passes Some people didn't pay attention to this and some people on TikTok wound up bringing it up Because most people chose not to vote their house of Congress and their house of representatives electives. There was no competition, so when a person was elected, in it.
Speaker 4:
Yeah, for the Senate, yeah. And then to when these people were elected. What wound up happening was is that they put a liability on their thing and it's a liability for us. They put onto the where, if this person is elected, they will be allowed to go behind the president's veto and still pass a bill on certain bills. They literally put that on there and because people didn't vote and that person was elected, those laws passed. And Because we did not use our right to vote and we did not look it up and look and see what was happening, we allowed these bills to pass. So there were several times where presidents vetoed a bill and it still passed. But we blame the president and the president's no Let me tell you something about oh.
Speaker 1:
Basically, they're using a president as a scapegoat.
Speaker 2:
Basically always as a scapegoat. Yeah, statistically is like if that's a puppet, it's a figurehead, that's it. You can always blame the figurehead, cuz you got somebody to blame, whether it's good or bad. See the president. The current president is always affected by the previous president, so everything right now yeah it's because of the stuff that happened when president Trump was president.
Speaker 1:
That's in the book and vice versa.
Speaker 2:
It's gonna. It always goes like that.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I was just thinking about that earlier to where it's like. It just seems like okay, they're blaming a lot of shit on buying it for what Trump did. They're blaming a lot of shit on Trump for what happened the Obama years and they're blaming Obama on On low-out shit that happened during the Bush years and just keep going back and back.
Speaker 2:
That's what happened on the watch. Anything that happens, good or bad, if it's on your watch Like if you the general of the military anything that occurs in the military is your fault. You know me, and we've been hitting a lot of heavy stuff, so I'm gonna talk about the funny stuff. But before I talk about the funny stuff, I'm gonna tell you about generations. Right, I want you to understand something. Look, samuel L Jackson, samuel well L Jackson. He was a pallbearer at Martin Luther King film. Did you know that? That's crazy. Little Ruby Bridges is still alive, the first little girl that integrated school. They want you to think the history was so long ago, but it was. They want you to think the racism is gone, but it is. It ain't me. Not with stuff that close.
Speaker 4:
Did you know that literally just last week no, not even last week, just a few days ago actually in Nashville, tennessee, there's a bunch of white people in black hoods and black masks, walking with a Nazi flags, protesting Black History Month right now, yeah.
Speaker 2:
And I, you know, I don't Charlotte may, the guy right, he had a radio show on comedy since I said radio shows, the TV show on comedy central. He got a radio show, the breakfast club, but he was talking about Germany and what happened after Germany, right After the war, after Hitler was dethroned, they had a denoxification. They took everything related to the Nazis, they burned it, they made it illegal. But in America, something different, right, we changed the laws. Supposedly we altered the laws because they still effective laws. We just make them inactive and everything still stays the same. That's how we have systematic racism. We haven't changed it. We need complete overhaul of the system in order to move forward, and we can never truly move forward until we overhaul the system.
Speaker 4:
But the problem is, if we do a complete overhaul of the system to change things up like that, a bunch of the rich people who we found are actually the main ones backing these people, they'll be called under the bus.
Speaker 2:
They'll lose a lot of their money, just the few versus the many, the few versus the many. If we all come, together which is what they're scared of, and rise up y'all, give me a sense of it.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, see, like that's why I was like let's be careful, because, but honestly, it's like with the executive branch, I feel like they're not even the ones pulling through. Like even with the legislative branch is like yeah, but like I feel like, you know, with the corporations and the oligarchy, that's where it's like oh those, the ones that really line the box.
Speaker 2:
Big business, big farm, a big business.
Speaker 4:
Yeah, the rich funds the government Wall Street and shit the rich funds the government and then the rich infiltrates the government, because rich people love keeping other rich people rich, because if you have rich friends. They keep you rich as long as you're not stepping on another rich person's toes. They're not going to interrupt your money flow.
Speaker 1:
In fact, they will help your money flow and see, that's why I kind of like how the whole relationship with the Armstrong family and Full Mountain Alchemist where they have, you know, like rub elbows with the higher crust, so that way you know it's more political to stay in power when, okay, you're pretty much cool with everybody else who's in power.
Speaker 2:
I know we've been hitting you with some heavy facts. Let me, let me, let me spin us back. Let me spin the block.
Speaker 1:
Hold on why you do that. Keep in mind we got about 10 minutes left before we got moved on to the thing.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, Let me spin the block though, because it got some funny quotes in here. Boy, how many of you right now work two jobs to have enough money to be broke? That ain't right.
Speaker 1:
I felt that one oh man that hurt.
Speaker 2:
You can survive on stroke, but the high price of medicine will give you a heart attack. That ain't right. Exactly that ain't right. I work in a neighborhood so bad you can get shot while you're getting shot.
Speaker 2:
That ain't right. You show up to get your pension. They give you a pen. They give you a damn pen. Now what the hell am I supposed to do with a pen? I should stab you in the neck with this pen, mr Pension taker. If we had laws on Destiny Child video, we have less crime. That ain't right. People can't decide If people too busy getting shot in the ass. Bernie Mac hit him with a. There's no such thing as white collar crime. It is definitely no such thing as black on black crime. Crime is crime. Let me explain something to you. I don't care if you have a white collar or a tank top. If you ride me, i'ma whip your ass. But my favorite quote, bro America is the richest, most powerful country on earth. If America was a woman, she'd be a big titted woman. Everybody loves a big titted woman Bruh. That is a fact.
Speaker 3:
Oh, I dropped it.
Speaker 2:
America ain't got no teeth but it's so got some pitts in it. You gotta tell you flat back there, but that's.
Speaker 4:
I think that's all we got for Head of State. Like it wound up being the things of like it's not. I can't say the whole movie is forgettable. No, it's not really forgettable, like when you you can sit back and enjoy it, like when you watch it. Yes, it hits real political points, but in a funny way You're supposed to enjoy the humor of it. It's like you know what I'm dealing with, this nonsense.
Speaker 2:
The roof. The roof is on fire.
Speaker 3:
Oh my God, the roof is on fire.
Speaker 2:
Bruh, and when he found out he won, bro, he tried to go meet with the old girl and then to do the the grab her booty to my. What don't you get, don't grab my ass. It was so good, bro. Shout out to Burning man.
Speaker 4:
Bro, rest in peace to Burning man, Peace man.
Speaker 1:
Hold on, hold, on hold on hold on that one white girl that was like hey, um do you need anything.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I ain't gonna lie, dr Umar would probably approve bro. No he wouldn't, he like he would understand.
Speaker 1:
Phyllis, we must stay focused, we must stay focused.
Speaker 2:
For Snow Bunny Crisis.
Speaker 4:
I think the funniest thing for me is the fact that I had no problem staying focused on that whatsoever. See, that's a funny thing. I have nothing against white women. That's not, I guess, because for me it's not really my cup of tea into that, that. I'm just like yeah, I appreciate it, I'm good, Thank you though.
Speaker 2:
I ain't got no problem staying focused either, bro. I don't know man, it's just something about chocolate, yeah.
Speaker 4:
Oh Lord, You're not wrong.
Speaker 1:
All right. With that being said, head of state, if I were to give it a rating I'd say four out of five stars. Is like fairly funny movie. I would say a certified hood election.
Speaker 3:
I like how you played that.
Speaker 1:
Well, with that being said, we're gonna go ahead and move on to other things. You already know the drill, ladies and gentlemen follow us on the social media. We got things going on more views in the words, but until then, you stay nerdy and remember to stay lovely as well and stay patriotic because, please, please, we need People like you know, like what cookie got, to say vote for your legislators, like, get the right people in the right spaces, all right, all right. With that being said, y'all take it easy.
