Yo!
I'd like to welcome everybody back
to a brand new episode
of the cognitive-colort podcast
I'm your host, Quentin Gold.
With friends and family,
they call me QG for short.
And if you feel like that's what we be coming,
you can call me that too.
Where to begin?
Uh...
I don't want all my episodes to be so somber,
but like the world, this season of America
is fucking trash already, like, it's terrible.
Uh...
ICE, who's a...
immigration-like military type of shit,
they are literally showing up to children's schools
and trying to take the kids out of school
to force the parents to show up to get their kids
so they can deport them off.
That's the real thing.
It's not...
I'm not exaggerating, I'm not putting sauce on it.
That's the real thing.
But while that's going on,
uh, Drake is trying to sue his record label
for defamation.
Basically his feelings was hurt
because he lost to Kendrick Lamar, so
that's the thing now.
Well, I think it's soon over this record.
But whatever.
Uh... what else?
What else?
Um...
The Kansas City Chiefs and the referees
cheated per usual, so they're heading back
to the Super Bowl versus the Eagles.
Uh, I'm not a fan of Eva,
but I want the Eagles...
I do like Ciccone Bucke, you know.
And Jaylen really cool too, I ain't mad at that.
So I want the Chiefs to lose, obviously.
Uh, what else is going on?
Oh, DJ Academics was, uh...
on a live stream,
joking with a ad quartet I can't see,
but joking with a 15-year-old kid,
uh...
telling him to do gay shit,
and then, uh, just tell him to get some pussy in general.
And the kid is just like, this is weird.
Get me... and he just keeps going.
So then he goes, I'm just joking
because he got a whole bunch of backlash.
But this nigga said,
anybody who has little brothers or older brothers,
they know that people joke like this.
All right.
But instead of just apologizing,
taking some other accountability, he was just like,
you Kendrick fans, it's blowing this out of proportion.
Nigga, nobody makes you get on that stream.
Nobody made you say that shit.
But what else?
Uh...
I want to hit the lottery.
So...
Uh...
Actually, you know what? On some for real shit,
I'm about to become strategic
when it comes to, like, the lottery.
I know it's a game of chance, essentially.
But I think if you apply some level of strategicness to it,
like, you know, when I budget my money for the month,
oh, this money is going to this,
this money is allocated for this,
I'm going to actually include the lottery in my budget.
And I know that sounds fucking irrational.
But...
I think I'm going to do
$10 a week.
However I divvy up that 10 throughout that week,
but $10 a week, four weeks in a month, so $40 a month.
My truck costs about $40 a so-called my tank, so...
I won't miss it.
But it might not hit, but then again, who the fuck knows?
Oh, this shit is a simulation anyway, but
I ain't going to get into that.
But I am going to try to hit the lottery.
And if I do, this will be the last episode of my pocket.
No, no, no.
I would still do it.
Just like I said, this shit is fun. I like it.
It's just some fun thing to do.
So I like to find, like, random shows
and just, like, watch them.
So in the past week, it's a show on...
It's on Netflix, but I want to see it originally.
It's on, like, on Heacock, I believe.
The show is called...
AP Biome?
Advanced Placement Bichemistry, but it's a comedy.
So the star, if the star of the show...
I know his real name is Glen, but I can't think of his last name,
but he basically plays Dennis from...
I who plays Dennis from Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
He's, like, this Harvard graduate who...
pretty much, like, fucking, like, ruined his career
trying to fight an old dude or some shit
because he didn't win a award or something.
So he's forced to go back to his hometown.
And he's working as, like, a high school biology teacher.
And he refuses to teach the kids any biology.
He just makes to... he forces the kids to help him get revenge
and to be his enemies.
It's fucking hilarious.
Patton Hall's well-desended as the principal.
He's fucking... it's a great cast, but it's...
it's just a great show.
And I made the stupid fucking mistake of basically binging it.
So I had four seasons, and I want to say the first two seasons
were, like, 16 episodes, and then the last two seasons
were eight episodes apiece.
And I got one episode left,
and I don't want to watch it
because then it'll officially be over.
So I started Googling, like,
will there be a season five?
And he was just like, no, it was canceled.
I was like, fuck.
Amazing show, though.
Like, it's funny as shit.
It's... hmm.
A good description of it would be
Always Sunny in Philadelphia meets Abbot Elementary.
It's amazing.
The kids agree to...
I mean, it's just a good show.
All the support and the actors...
sometimes it'd be just like the random, like,
banner in the background, like...
Like, so the main stars would be talking about whatever.
And then a third party might walk up and start talking to him.
And when the third party walks away,
he might be, like, mumbling something to himself.
And it'll be some of the most outrageous shit you ever heard.
It's just funny.
It's like the NPCs and, like, Grand Theft Auto or some shit.
It's just a great show.
Uh... oh.
This is something that pissed me off, so...
Last week, the Ravens played against the Bustle of the Builds.
Josh Allen versus...
Uh...
Yeah, Josh Allen versus Lamar Jackson.
You know, they was in a run-off for MVP and all this shit.
So...
The Ravens were down.
At the end, Lamar throws a fucking touchdown.
We had two-point conversion away from sending this shit to overtime, basically.
And Mark Andrews, the ball hit him in both hands.
In the end zone, he drops it.
Game over, we lose.
I typically avoid sports in any sports-related talk show
after a Ravens-like loss,
because, like, they hold Lamar to this unfair standard.
So, you know, man, the ball could have been placed better.
It was a perfect fucking pass.
It was in his hands.
Granted, it was cold, it was slippery, it was icy, whatever.
And he drops it. All right, game over.
They ran Lamar named through the fucking mud.
So, last night, the Buffalo Builds had to play the Kansas City Chiefs
in the AFC Championship.
The referees and the fucking...
Chiefs cheated. Whatever.
Long story short,
Josh Allen and the Builds, they lose.
So, it's like, all right, I get on.
I go to YouTube to catch highlights of, like, talk shows and all that shit.
No, no bad mousin', no critiques of Josh Allen.
If he played a perfect game, we just...
No, he didn't. He is the reason why they lost.
This only makes me feel strong about how much of the MVP...
Bro, are you fucking kidding me?
So, it's this double-standard, this sports.
I don't know why the narrative is they hate Lamar,
but they just fucking hate Lamar.
And, granted, I am a Ravens fan, and a Lamar Jackson fan,
but I can put that shit to the side.
I don't know if it's because Lamar's not like a media dullin'.
Like, he's not the first person you think of who represents the NFL.
They want the Tom Brady's to my home.
But Lamar's Lamar, he really him.
So, but I just watched how they, like, tore him down,
but, hey, man, we gotta give Josh some grace.
And I like Josh Allen a lot.
I think he's a good dude. I think he's a great fucking player.
You know what I mean?
But, like, the double standard that they held to is fucking insane, so...
But I noticed there were, like, a lot of shit,
but niggas ain't really had that talk.
Actually, you know what? I am gonna have that talk.
Fuck it. I ain't really got shit goin' on.
Yo, throughout society, shit, throughout societal history,
if you want to be technical,
it's always been this, like, unfair double standard.
Or the way...
Because this is deep in the football.
This is...
This is life shit. I want some real shit.
So, growing up, I was a kid who...
I didn't just listen to rap music.
Like, I listened to every genre. So, for me,
there is no bad genre of music.
Whether it's rap, bluegrass, pop, country, rock and roll,
whatever you into, jazz, whatever.
There's good and bad versions of all of those things.
So, I always had, like,
because I can draw and paint and all that type of shit.
So, like, I like...
I like home design.
I like interior decorating.
I like seeing houses built from the foundation up on YouTube.
I like seeing renovations. Like, I'm into that type of shit.
And I've always been.
So, when I was fucking 15, 16,
I'd go outside and do some stupid hood rat shit.
But then, I'd come in the house and watch fucking...
HGTV, and then I'd watch fucking Duff's and Scree's.
You know what I mean?
But anyway, I used to watch Extreme Home Makeover.
I can't remember the host name, but once his name was like Ty,
or something like that, White Dude, or BDIs and shit.
I remember he got like, D.U.I. It was hilarious.
Like, that's not hilarious. He could've just... whatever.
The long story short, like,
at some point, they started showing Extreme Home Makeover
on the country music network.
They say, wait, MTV stopped pretty much showing music videos,
and it was just like TV, like syndicated shows and shit.
So, I was like, I don't want to watch Extreme Home Makeover.
So, at the time, they were doing The Sensors.
And, you know, The Sensors, like, they sent it out,
and they pretty much trying to get, like,
an idea of, like, demographics for particular communities.
If this community only has one library,
that this one has four libraries,
all right, how can we counteract that to balance it out type of shit?
So, Extreme Home Makeover goes to the commercial.
I don't even think about it.
Where this commercial comes on, and it's like this guy,
white guy, just walking in this open field,
and he walks up to the camera, he goes, hey, fill out your senses.
It can help your community.
And then the commercial just goes off.
I don't think nothing about it.
Now, I've never been a fan of BDC.
I can understand the importance of it, but...
Ah, man, I don't want to go crazy on BDC right now.
But I...
It's jiggable shit to me if I'm keeping a butt.
You got fucking real world on MTV,
and then you got to make fucking College Hill.
Or you have, like, fucking TRL.
And then you get one on Six Apart.
You know, just that type of shit.
It's just like, be some original shit.
Just stop making black versions of shit.
Like, I don't like that shit.
Anyways, so it's the next day, and I'm watching one on Six and Park,
because Dip Set is supposed to be on there,
and I'm a huge camera fan and shit.
So, like, I'm watching this shit.
It goes to commercial.
And then it's show like this neighborhood in Brooklyn
or some shit in New York.
It's like black and Puerto Rican people out there,
like these niggas, it's like beatbox and then pop lock
and then playing boomboxes and sitting on the steps
and popping their head and all that shit.
So I don't know what the fuck this commercial is about.
And then all of a sudden, and this is like fucking
after school special hip hop sound and beat, boom, boom,
but don't punch, like, with some wacky ass
melody trash.
But anyways, I'm watching the commercial and I go,
what are they trying to sell?
Like, I'm confused at this commercial.
So then some black dude with dress walk up to the camera
and go, hey, yo, you want to fix up your hood?
Fill out the senses, word up.
And then the commercial goes, I can work that fuck.
Is that, is that what they think it takes us to
exorbit message?
To now, I'm pissed.
I can see in the watch BTC so I can see the camera
on performance shit.
This is back when like, old boy was out and shit.
So once that shit goes off, whatever.
I'm sitting there.
I'm kind of stuck on that.
So I'm like, man, like, it's kind of blatant, but
I'm like, I'm not gonna do it.
So I was like, all right, this is what I'm gonna do.
The next day I took a pen and a pad and I spent my first
half of the day watching the country music channel just
for the commercials.
And I'm like documenting what commercials I said.
Okay.
Right in that there.
Okay.
And then the second half of the day I watched BTC solely
for the commercials.
Make a list of that.
Okay.
And when that shit was done, I sit there.
I look at the list and I can pay the commercials to
themselves.
I'd see each other.
I should say on the country music channel, all the
commercials.
Hey, man, you want to see these vitamins to get healthy?
Hey, is your credit damaged?
This is how you get tax released.
This is how they're done.
Yo, this is when you're.
Then I saw analyzing the BTC commercials.
Everything was fast food or fucking sneakers or
promoting some kind of beef DVD or some stupid ass shit.
Nothing to make niggas strive or think that, you know, we
deserve more.
So it's like subconscious type of programming type of
shit.
Like it's small subtle shit that most of us don't pay
attention to like.
And this is, I want to make this a black and white
thing, but fucking.
You think of a white person, you go, he's an American.
Nobody bats an eye at that shit.
But then everybody else Latin American, Asian American,
African American.
The natives of America is called the natives of
America.
They should be the ones just called Americans and
technically they shouldn't even be called that because
nobody know what the fuck the name was.
Is there a heritage or something?
But the fact that you see a white guy in the school is
American, but why isn't he English?
American, why isn't he Polish American, Russian American,
whatever.
So white people, they just Americans and so everybody
else does something then American, which makes you
less than.
No man.
Even with that shit.
When I hear white people say, say to like a Mexican
person, go back to your fucking country, get out of
America.
It's just like, hmm, Mexico's in America.
It's the North American continent.
Which consists of Canada, the United States and
Mexico is North America.
South America is Brazil.
It's fucking Costa Rica is Columbia is.
Yeah.
So technically Mexicans are Americans because it's on
the continent of North America.
Our country is the United States of America, but
it's not America.
It's the United States of the American continent.
You give it on saying, but it's such subtle shit like
that that we don't even think about.
But whatever.
I don't know what I'm talking about in case the
government listen.
They probably not.
But if they are, I don't know what I'm talking about.
I'm just joking.
I don't know.
They fucking kill you.
They think you're smart.
They go make a little clever than we thought he would
do.
Yeah, he's going to have an accident.
Also, I'm making that close to the truck.
Can't see.
They get a fucking camera.
But at the same time, I don't really want a camera.
I like this shit.
If you motherfuckers want to know what I look like, do
diligence.
I fucking plug my Instagram at the end of every episode.
I can write it down.
Go click the link or go click the profile.
See what the fuck I look like.
I don't really think I got any pictures on that motherfucker
even.
I'm only just be posting like beats and sneakers and
cover up for shit I be working on.
But it might be one or two on that motherfucker.
I don't know.
They know.
There's even that's a little inside.
Anyways.
Everything's fucked up.
But then at the same time, life is beautiful.
There's also fucked up.
Honestly, I honestly, I'm starting to more and more believe
in like simulation theory.
Like.
And it's so many times I can go go into, but I don't really
want to.
Because I don't feel like over the top.
And at the same time, I don't really feel like a sin in
nobody.
But you know, I remember one time I asked somebody, I go,
bro, do you believe in reincarnation?
And he goes, yeah, for sure.
Yo, I think my son might actually be my grandfather.
I go, okay.
Maybe.
I say, but do you believe in heaven?
Of course.
How can you get both?
I don't know.
You don't know.
I don't know, but I do believe in God.
I don't believe in God.
I don't know.
You don't know.
I don't believe in God as far as I can go.
You don't know a thing.
I just don't believe in God.
I think I saw a ghost over there.
It was weird.
So.
It was weird.
So my kitchen in my house is like super dark,
but like it's like an open concept.
So like kitchen, the dining room, the living room
is essentially like all in the same spot
except for like the island or like the bar
that kind of like separate the space,
but it's pretty much all open to each other.
So we walk out there and it's like dark,
like the shadows and shit like of like furniture
and chairs and whatever's like hanging up with plantas
shit like that.
It'll look like a human form.
And like you'll sit there for like,
I'm sitting there for a good like 10, 20 seconds.
I'm like that I can make out the outline of the head,
neck, shoulders, arms.
I'm like, it's a fucking person standing there.
And then when you turn the light on,
it's like a fucking jacket on the back of like a bar stool,
some shit and just like, that doesn't make sense.
So I don't know, I should might be haunted,
might not be haunted.
I don't know.
I like ghost though, if I'm being honest.
I think ghost got a bad PR.
They got bad PR.
If you from like, I don't know, fucking Wisconsin lava,
Wisconsin lava.
And you've never been around like any black people.
Your only point of reference would be movies,
music videos, whatever the fuck.
So when you see that, you go, oh, that's what they like.
And then through your travels,
you'll actually like meet one or meet like a black person
and some shit you can go.
And then when they speak, we're like, you know,
grammatically correct and they have like good diction
in their words and all that shit.
And they have like advanced like vernacular.
You go, holy shit, I'm surprised.
And then they're confused like surprised at what?
That I talk like a human being.
No, I ain't mean that way.
I think it's the same shit with ghosts.
Cause again, you know, energy can be created and destroyed.
It can only transfer.
It always existed, always will exist.
Our bodies have electrons, protons, neutrons.
We have biologically scientifically proven
that we contain electricity,
but it's also a scientific fact that energy
can be created and destroyed.
It can only transfer.
So if this shell fades and that energy transfers,
cause it can't die, which I think that's what the soul is,
where does it go?
And I think that's what create ghosts.
You know what I'm saying?
But as far as like shadow motherfucking suits,
like peek around corners and shit,
I don't understand them niggas, them niggas are scary.
Cause if they do exist and you have in a glance
and see a nigga like swing his head back
or like move his head out the way to avoid being seen,
like first of all, fuck are you creeping for?
Second of all, what the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you from?
But ghosts, I just, like it's just,
if they do exist, which I believe they do,
it's just misplaced energy.
It's energy with nowhere to go.
And I just think like the first time
I'm fucking so a ghost,
it could have been like a ghost of like a nigga
who used to like fuck his wife or some shit.
So he's like, ghost are bad.
And then he wrote like a poem about Ebenezer Scrooge
or whatever, fuck that one, I can't talk about it.
But anyways, and I think ghosts just got a bad,
technically, technically,
the father, the son and the Holy Spirit.
And what's the difference between a spirit and a ghost?
Nothing.
But I know a bunch of niggas will believe in God,
but don't believe in ghosts, right nigga?
Anyways, I'm all over the fucking place
and I don't give a fuck.
At this point in my life,
I just wanna fucking get rich,
get rich and just be happy and shit.
And not even want no extravagant shit.
Like let's say if I hit for like 200 million,
not even that much.
I'd say if I hit for like 90 million,
50 million, all right, 50 million.
This is at the taxes, obviously.
I would give some money to like a certain amount of people
that I got true love for, get them nice and situated.
Pay off their houses, get them cars, like that,
that clean, get them a little lump sum,
you got a fresh start, dude, you want it.
But after all that has said and done,
so let's say I had 50 million.
And let's say roughly it took about, I don't know,
five million, they do that, or 10 million.
Let's say 10 million.
I'm giving them big lump sums of money, whatever.
If I'm left with $40 million, I'm gonna buy me a nice home,
not a mansion, because that shit is expensive to maintain,
but a nice house, five bedrooms, max, maybe six.
I would go off to space, finish basement, little pool table.
I would deck out that fucking studio.
I would just chill, I would travel a little bit,
I would just make music, I would paint,
I would just really take the time to enjoy life,
but I'm not trying to get like fucking 50 gold chains
and fucking 10 benzes and I don't need that shit.
Because I think when people do that shit,
they might like extravagant shit like that,
but at the same time, I think it's more so
to show other people that I can afford extravagant shit.
So in a sense, you can be rich as fuck,
but still searching for validation
from people who probably won't achieve as much as you.
Not even on a financial level, on a personal level,
spiritual level, emotional level.
We still seek that validation.
That's why our motherfuckers be like sad and silly,
depressed, and then they'll go and make a whole fucking
social media post about being sad
and then put nobody reach out to me.
That's like when you call a motherfucker to tell him,
don't call you no more,
oh, I'm not gonna call you no more.
And that's how you really felt you just,
whether you just stopped calling or answering.
You wouldn't announce it.
That's like, well, kill us.
A killer don't be like, I'm gonna fucking kill you.
Usually, they just kill you.
Why the fuck would I give you a heads up?
Anyways.
So, this has been another episode
of The Cognitive Collage podcast by your host, Quinn Golden.
Some say QG for short.
Well, that being said, I'm here for a good time, man.
Not a long time.
So, I hope everybody had a good week.
Again, whatever goal you chase,
and I hope you get one step closer to that goal,
if not achieve that goal completely.
And then once you achieve that goal,
you know what I mean?
Reset your goals.
Make a new goal.
Then work towards that.
I hope everybody stay peaceful, positive, safe,
healthy, productive.
All of the good words.
Yeah.
Actually, hold on.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
You probably go.
Oh, wait.
I will say this before I say my last name.
If you wanna challenge anything I said today,
or you don't agree, or you do agree with anything
I said today.
You can always reach out to me on Instagram,
at QGMusic, that's QGMUSIC, on Instagram.
Yeah, and just inbox me if you wanna challenge some shit
or disagree or whatever the case.
Oh, yeah, what I was gonna say.
I wrote this quote, and I really like this quote.
And whenever I find myself having moments of like doubt,
where there's self doubt or doubt that I can achieve anything,
I go, ah, man, I'm afraid to.
I always keep this quote in mind.
He who fears he will suffer, already suffer because he fears.
So don't fear shit, man.
Be wild, be free, and brace life with both arms.
Be free, and brace life with both arms.
Peace.
