002 - Ashy Lips and Devine Debates | THE SPEAKEEZY Podcast 

berlin and joe arguing with pg silently wheezing in the back is the best part of this😭😂

This man Joe is really proving himself as the funniest member of eezygang with these podcast episodes

I swear bro PG LOVES WHEN JOE AND BERLIN ARGUE AND HE IN STANDBY CRACKIN UPPPPP😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

This man Joe really said “Jack Sparrow” then proceeded to sing the Game of Thrones theme. I’m crying 😭😂😂

pg be folding himself up in his chair like he’s so petite and delicate, and honestly i live for it

watching joe kick his feet around every time a joke hit be killing me bro 😂

berlin was asking why the general public disrespects christianity more than any other religion and i want to give my perspective on the take: Christianity is the most popular religion practiced in america, so it’s often perceived as the “default” religion. especially in the south(from my experience) it’s either you’re christian or you worship the devil. there has been a few times where i have mentioned that i’m agnostic and a persons reply will be “i’ll pray for you”, as if i’m in danger or like they just found that i was diagnosed with a terminal illness. one of the worser cases of mine is as a kid me and my family would go to our local church and my mother was called a “hard r lover” because of her biracial children. that had to be the last time we attended church since. i am no way defending those who hate on a particular religion, but i can see their perspective. i’ve watched berlin for a good 4-5 years now and him speaking on his faith and using his religion to spread positivity and love is proof that there are genuine people out there and we shouldn’t hate a religion based on a few bad experiences.

To Berlin’s Point about criticizing christianity: I dont think its so much that people are criticizing Jesus himself, but more the people who use Jesus as a “shield” to validate their disrespect for other people. My problem specifically with Christianity is that there are some people who will use their religion to justify hate and THAT is just as disrespectful as people who are dishonoring Jesus. Plus there are a lot of people, especially people in the LGBTQ+ community, who have been subjected to hateful Christians and so once they get out of that toxic environment they feel that the religion itself is to blame and not the terrible people.

i love this podcast

“The birthday bro “ dry hump was wildddd😂😂

PG feet were dangling while seating in the chair. 😂

Only a minute in and Joe is killing me😭what the plants do to you?

5:23 “Yeah, *YOU WOULD* bring up Frozone first. *Sub-Zero👉🏻( * points towards PG * ) **_Ahuhuh_** ”* Joe really hit PG with a “I know *YOU* not laughing” with that sub-zero stray🤣💀💀

To comment on the Lil Nas situation and the pushback towards Christians- I think a lot of it has to do with the usage of Christianity throughout history. Christianity was used as a form of oppression and justification for things like slavery and colonization, as these colonizers would claim it as "God's will" and their "Divine right". I'm from the Caribbean and during history class in secondary school we learned about how colonizers would forcibly convert the indigenous population, and later enslaved Africans (despite them already having their own gods) and if they refused to comply they would be tortured or killed. Christianity was also (and a lot of the time, still is) used to demonize those in the LGBTQIA+ community. I was raised Christian but over time I've become more spiritual, I still have respect for Christianity as a religion but I can see why many are opposed to it due to its unfortunate usage. I think a lot of people look at Christianity and pinpoint it to radical Christians who disrespect and look down on others, especially those of different faiths. It's really sad because the lengths that _this_ specific group of Christians go to in a way goes against what the bible teaches, especially in the aspect of "Loving thy neighbour". I believe that Christianity, like any other religion, should be respected- but at the same time, I can somewhat understand where these people are coming from. Why respect a religion that was used in bad faith for over a millennia? Why respect a religion that excludes and looks down on those with a differing sexual orientation from the "norm"? Why respect a religion consisting of people who call other religions "fake" and tell those believers that they'll go to hell? I think that a lot of the hate and disrespect you see recently towards Christianity is more pointed at its use throughout history, and specific people who practise it, and not so much to do with its contents. That's my observation anyway. Imo I don't know what the point of using Christian imagery in his music video was for. I didn't see the point. It's not even coming from a place of me being offended I just don't know why he'd choose it instead of going for something else.

2:36 berlin mocking joe “wE CAn’T Be BiRThdAy BrOThers”💀

9:12 Joe’s impression of a father is HILARIOUS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Joe been the funniest dude of all of 'em and this just keeps solidifying it. I love how PG is always just laughing in the background when Berlin and Joe go at it lol. W podcast.

Word up, Berlin, you and the bros and poiised truly helped a bro out zeen. I've been fighting Cancer for the past 2 1/2 yrs and watching your content helped me through a lot of hospital stays and chemo moments. I lost my leg and withdrew from people for a long time, but by the grace of God and watching your content helped me deal with my new situation and navigate myself back to some form of normalcy. I'm just an hr away from you bros now. My wife and I bought a house out chea. You and the bros are always welcome to come by for some good grindz..on me as a thank you.

Berlin, Mark, Joe, please bros we need an episode with each of y’all friendship origins. How long have you and Joe known each other, some childhood stories. Pg’s first editor days, living together in the EGHQ. How close you three actually are. The SomeBros founders lol.

Listening to Joe and Berlin argue has to be my favorite pass time. PG over there dying 😂😂

I’m considered spiritual and it needs to be understood that Christianity is heavily linked with trauma. More than any other religion, I think. I don’t know the rapper personally, but he may have gone through that, and this is his way to cope. I’m not saying Christians can’t be upset either but to pretend that Christianity is this completely clean slate and nothing ever goes wrong and they don’t deserve it. It is asinine.

Joe is the mvp of this pod rn bro 😭😭

Perfect timing for this new podcast. Let me get my food to watch

This podcast is beyond anything I’ve ever seen. The chemistry all of you have as hosts. Each member brings something different but needed to the table. I needed this content.

I’m falling in love with this pod way faster than I thought I would, like no other pod has made me feels this happy

This is it. No disrespect to any of the other sombros....but these three together is where it's at. I swear I could watch PG laughing all day! Joe is hilarious and big eezy is the man❤️ can't wait to hear more.

I know the topics are old, but still. Maybe this can offer some perspective on the Lil Nas conversation. The reason some people gravitate towards using jesus and christianity as symbolism in their music, is because more often than not, it's the community that shunned them in their musical life, or their personal life at some point. Gays for the longest time have avoided being themselves because of what comes from that... In black households... In religious households. In the church. In the community as a whole. But since the pain it causes them doesn't typically affect others, it looks like nothing is wrong. It might seem like they're acting out against christianity or any religion for no reason, but they aren't. There's a reason for everything if you dig deep enough. We might not all like it, but it's there. Anyways, I love the pod. And I appreciate the bros getting into their deep bags for these 🙏 Episode 3 couldn't come sooner 😭

Between joe and Berlin’s banter and Pg laughing at everything😂😂😂 bro

To correct 38:25, Allah refers to the one and only God in Islam who is considered above all. The definition of “arm arm leg. . .” is from an African American group from New York who believed that black people are the original Gods of Earth. Muslims take Allah very seriously because associating Him with a human or others is considered a grave sin. Regardless, loved listening to yall talk 💙 Thanks for bringing back the podcast brus

alternative title: Ashy Lips And Touching Tips 🔥🔥🔥

It literally makes no sense how CRISPY he be with the velvet durags.

Kai was actually on some homophobic shit though in his response. He literally had to stop himself from saying the f slur and going too far. And its like, so many other rappers have done this concept with comparing themselves to Jesus or God and didn't/still don't receive anywhere near as much pushback. Jay Z, Kanye, Lil Wayne, Nas, Tupac and more. All have done it and no one cared. So when someone who is gay does the same thing and it becomes an issue it very much does come off has homophopia, which is very rampant in the christian community historically. Its corny what he's doing for attention but at the same time the lack of consistency and ppl using this as an opportunity to spread hate toward LGBT folk is very apparent. Not everyone, but a lot are doing that.

respectfully, i think its a closed minded to question why a religion like christianity gets critiqued/ridiculed. of course everyone is entitled to walk whichever paths they choose but to be naive of the good AND bad that comes with it can cause ignorance. just as much as christianity has helped, it has also hurt a lot more, thus why its easy for it to be the butt of jokes for some. i think acknowledging that can help with just letting stuff like that slide because other religions get made fun of all the time; that isnt okay but it is also inevitable.

57:30 man i feel like PG is always the underrated one but he’s fr my favorite and i love how much he’s grown on stream… really sad he had to read those comments

I’m usually not one to comment but, I kind of wanted to expand on the lil nas x situation. Though I do see how the j Christ video could be seen as disrespectful. I think the purpose of the video was to get views. It did exactly what it intended to do which was to get people to watch it and talk about it. Lil Nas knew exactly what would happen and now the video has millions of views. Because for him there’s no such thing as bad publicity. Also, Berlin said something that was interesting to me which was “why do people feel the need to speak negatively on Christianity. I feel like it stems from a lot of people having religious trauma associated with that religion and because of the history of violence and discrimination that was done in the name of the religion. No hate to Christian’s though just wanted to provide a prospective.

"My low for the week was I went blind bro" - Joe Iacovetti

This definitely gonna be the #1 podcast of 2024😂!

regarding the lil nas x / christianity topic, what we choose to focus on shows a lot about what we truly have a problem with. using blasphemous imagery and language in art is nothing new in the slightest. theres a reason why it feels like a punch in the face to see lil nas x do it yet can still tolerate other completely secular music that promotes extreme violence, also has blasphemous imagery, and includes the uplifting of a multitude of other sins. is lil nas x’s music video something that no one has ever done or seen before? no. the outrage is cause hes gay doing it. him being gay to people is like the extra disrespect, which is exactly the point of the pushback on the criticism and the criticisms of christianity itself. people get to mask their hatred for certain marginalized communities by hiding behind their religion. and a lot of people unfortunately had to grow up with the same hypocrisies at the hands of christians. kai praying occasionally and giving thanks to god does not erase him uplifting and providing a space for sin. nicki minaj did a whole christian thing too and she was still on his stream. consistency matters. and what you choose to focus on matters.

I love this video. I always love watching yall talk and share opinions. The convo on lil nas x got me thinking, too (and I love how they all kept that discussion so respectful while also cracking their normal jokes). My question as far as lil nas x was why is everyone so mad at him specifically? Not everybody in the Speakeezy per se, but a lot of people in general? Didn't Kendrick Lamar insinuate himself as a Jesus-like figure, too, in his music video, N95? I feel like Kanye received more pushback for his anti-semitic comments (which were not cool, btw) versus him referring to himself as "Yeezus," which we all pretty much brushed off as silly ole Kanye being Kanye. I def don't support disrespecting Christians by targeting them specifically, but I also know a lot of Christians are not as kind as Berlin, either. A lot of us have traumatic memories of the Christian or Catholic church. I also believe in freedom of speech, and I know Lil Nas X has been targeted specifically by some Christians just for being black and gay in the public eye, before any of his imagery got super religious in context. Why can some Christians critique other groups and it's seen as normal, like protesting outside of a pride parade for example, but when other groups critique Christianity, it is seen as blasphemous and a sign of declining times? Why can some white artists like, say, Billie Eilish or Ashnikko, or even ACDC with something as simple and seemingly harmless as "Highway to Hell" (all of which are incredible artists, btw), play around with demonic or satanic-like imagery or methaphors, a lot of which could def be interpreted as blasphemous as well, but Lil Nas X is able to spark this much commotion? Also, we don't know his experience with Christianity either, and because a lot of people who have left the church (or been shunned by one, or raised by religious parents, whatever the case may be) have a lot of complex feelings toward the religion, they should be allowed to unpack that through art and express themselves like anyone else. It feels like pushing artistic boundaries always gets the line drawn at Christianity but not at any other religion, and it does really go to show the favoritism toward Christianity in western society. And I can't lie- every time Lil Nas makes a joke out of it, his views go up because people are so passionate about Christianity, when it is in fact another religion like any other religion. I could see why he'd keep using the formula if it's the sure-fire route that works: "I mention Christianity=my views and engagement go up." I think sometimes we should take a step back and reflect on why this makes US so angry, especially when there are plentiful examples of "blasphemous" things that we turn a cheek to everyday, some of which we do ourselves? Lil nas x being so far in the public eye, I feel, just makes him the perfect target and the perfect person to make an example of, which I don't think is fair. Butttt, I do believe EVERYone should be allowed to stand in their beliefs and express themselves, so long as no one is physically or verbally abused in the process. Lil Nas X aint hurting nobody, so just turn off the video or don't watch if you don't like. Same for peaceful Christians, lol--they minding they business so let them go 'head about they business. Love is the bottom line. Everything else just makes it seem overly complicated.

"cake" is crazy lmao 3:15

it's kinda crazy how every white rockstar from the last 6 decades has used the same imagery & it's labeled as "provocative" but now it's blasphemous, yes it's cheesy in the sense that it's nothing new & interesting art-wise but he's also getting the exact engagement he wanted from the outrage, it's an obvious double-standard & ppl have nothing genuine to rally against

From what i’ve been taking from the speakeezy and berlin’s channel is that he is ready for another shift in his life. He went from exposed videos to more focused gaming and now it may be time for a new transformation/era. Thats growth. With every beginning there must be an end. The real supporters will be there regardless of what he chooses to do in his life. Wish him & all the gang the best!

reading these comments gives me more faith in the internets ability to have complex and critical thinking luv yall down♥ good pod btw

Hey Guys, just wanted to clarify PG statement at 38:16. Allah DOESN'T mean Arm,leg,leg,arm,head in any literal, metephorical, or theoretical sense. Allah just means one god. I think I understand the intention behind (Self-Impowerment I assume) but don't overthink it. I hear some stuff about Islam from the spiritual community (or whatever community you wanna call it) and some of the stuff can get lost in translation. I do like how PG and other people around the world are realizing the spiritual aspect about Islam. Keep the good work up yall

love how the comments were giving the pod perspective on the lil nas segment. as someone who has always questioned christianity, though i feel no need to disrespect the religion, people who dont like christians, are indeed VALID. the historical and even current use of this religion and how the most bigoted, radical people will do things in the name of that religion (unfortunately), is why people are comfortable disrespecting it. even kai, almost said the f slur in his rant, which is why people thought his commentary was in bad faith. mind you, there were plenty of ppl jumping to be homophobic, just because they didnt like the video. which shows that if they were so quick to compromise morality due to being offended, they were always that way. again, giving anti-christians more fuel for their dislike.

always loved these three together i’m so glad they’ve restarted the pod

Not one to comment, but i just wanna say at 38:21 when pg says Allah means Arm leg leg arm head, that is incorrect, Allah is not an english word, its Arabic for God. Loved the podcast this new form of content is very enjoyable

In regards to the understanding and practice of Christianity, I feel that it becomes an issue to me when people choose to be devout Christians when it is selectively beneficial for them or to essentially berate. For example: Kai being upset about what took place while simultaneously saying nothing about Palestine, which is the birth place of Jesus, is a bit flippant. Not to mention, he was drinking Starbucks on his stream, who are one of the funders of the genocide. Not to mention, Kanye West stated he was God and had entire aesthetic of being Jesus. Kendrick Lamar has a shoot with him with a thorn crown on and no one batted an eye. I will always say people will use Christianity in the way that they are as people.

Ik in there eyes they just having “a talk with the guys” but man If only they knew how much these podcasts do me. These videos truly feel like a blessing and always give me so much mental clarity, thank y’all for just being yourselves🙏🏽

Hearing and seeing how all of them grew to create this platform gave me goosebumps. Once again beautifully said Berlin, Im glad you can still inspire me after all these years!

The speakeezy is the only podcast I’d ever sat and watched in its entirety. I really admire you guys. Been watching for so long and I never thought we’d see this. Proud and happy for y’all

Best podcast out by far, hearing conversations held by creatives are top tier…s/o Somebros🤘🏾🔥

I love the back and forth between Berleezy and Joe 😂😂😂. This podcast is both hilarious and inspiring. As a beginning gaming content creator, I enjoy listening to OGs talk about their experiences and give inspiration!

I don’t comment much tbh, but I figured it’s one of those times to chime in since the crew was conversing with the subject of Lil Nas X and Christianity. Prepare for the biggest yap: To give background, I grew up Christian and went to a private catholic school when I was younger. I’m more so agnostic now but I do respect your beliefs as long as it doesn’t harm others. With that being said, I always had a viewpoint + the experience that religion is meant to help build the foundation of what it is to be a good person how to treat others with respect (as well as handle disrespect). As I grew older into my adult years, I learned more about the history of how Christianity was used as a weapon to oppress and kill other people. Nowadays, obviously it doesn’t compare to back then since there was wars and crusades over it, but that hate still remains using the guise of religion to hurt others. Racism, homophobia, sometimes used to hurt women. Obviously we all should disavow ANYTHING that brings harm to another person. When Berlin asks why Christianity is seen so negatively, it’s not the religion itself but the people that claim they are true Christians but do these horrid things to others for just being different than them with their beliefs. I think we can agree it’s horrible. It is also horrible to hate Christians for the actions of other “Christians” who do wrong. I can understand the crew’s sentiment and overall disdain with what Lil Nas X did, and imo it is just a publicity stunt to get people to talk about him. However it’s also naive to think that Lil Nas X doesn’t have a connection to Christianity what so ever. He didn’t just “decide” to go after Christianity for no reason. It is because in his experience, the church would absolutely ridicule and hate him for being gay. I’m not saying it makes what he did right, but there is always an explanation to these actions a to why it happens. Side Note: Lil Nas X ain’t even the first rapper to make himself Jesus or God. You have DMX, Kanye, and even Travis Scott do the same thing, but no one talks about it really or with an outrage even on a similar level. If the outrage is genuine, then it needs to be addressed with EVERYBODY, not just Lil Nas X. On that note, Jesus loved everybody no matter who you were. He sat with sinners and broke bread with prostitutes rather than sit with those who already share his beliefs. He conversed with them and made them feel seen even if they didn’t like them. You can’t respond to hate with hate, it goes both ways. Overall, my perspective is that there is a lot of internalized hatred with a chunk of Christians that use their religion to hurt or justify violence against others and it has shown in history to be the case. I just want the boys to approach what they talk about with nuance and ask each other “why.” That’s pretty much it, though. I love this podcast and can’t wait for the next episode. Eughh.

PG please clarify that your definition of "Allah" is the 5 percenter definition Allah is "Al- Ilah (The God), as stated in his book "He is Allah, the only One Allah, the One taking care of everything He begets, nor is he begotten And He never had any equal at all" Surah Ikhlas 112

I started my channel almost two years ago and I started out thinking since I was a loser in school why would anyone like me online? I am so happy that I kept with it because I realized that I really just messed myself up because today I am in the 2k subs and people tell how funny I am and how much they like me. Now I don't have any RU-vid friends to work with, but I know one day I'll get there. until then, you guys keep letting us know it's not impossible. Peace and Love

Just to clear what PG said here at 38:19 Allah doesn't mean arm leg leg arm head like he said. It simply means God in arabic. Nor does Allah mean "our inner god". Nor do we believe that we are god or a part of him (nor do we think that he looks like a human) cuz that will be contradicting to the teachings of Islam. Allah is God and there's nothing that looks like him in the heavens and the earth (exalted he is in his might) and we worship him alone. Also, we do believe that Jesus peace be upon him is a prophet and a messenger of Allah (we do not tolerate any disrespect towards jesus) just like we don't tolerate any disrespect towards Mohammed peace be upon him and all of the other prophets. Hope i cleared out the misunderstanding here.

i love these men sm. they make me smile no matter what im going through.

the energy yall have for lil nas is the same energy i need yall to have for kanye west, playboi carti and a lot of other rappers who disrespect christianity

This feels like a behind the scenes type thing, like after hours or something. I love these precious chats.

the forces wit the ankle socks is CRAZY Berlin

man these podcasts are emotional lowkey! working a job that feels dead end to me, feeling like i’m talking to myself with my content, etc. these motivational conversations speak life into me the way i didn’t have when i was younger it’s powerful. good job guys with this podcast, seriously

I know Joe did not just ask if an 80s movie was in black and white. Damn I feel old watching y'all! Love y'all but damn! Lol! 😅

honestly love the candid conversation being on light topics and topics that require the discussion to dig deeper, love the concept of the SPEAKEEZY, glad its back.... and let me say you have created a great team and community of people who want to see each other do great things, being in a different part of the gaming community myself, i learned that there are subsections in the gaming world with people who will take your ideas and capitalize on it , exactly like you guys were saying, and still try to use you at the same time and it absolutely SUCKS, however the same thing that you told your sis is what my core people tell me, to continue to be me and do what i want block out the noise. This episode was sooo good love the dynamic.

i could see why he did it. he’s always getting told by people that he’s going to go to hell and other things by people who believe being gay is a sin. i don’t think he hates all christians or jesus himself and yes it’s wrong to mock jesus, but there’s many people that are just angry with some christians that they do crazy things and he most likely did it for a reaction.

Please promote this channel more. I loved watching y’all game but as I grow older I desire to hear more about opinions within y’all lives too. This is a great side of all 3 of y’all to see. Undivided attention to bounce ideas around and expanding reality for your viewers. Excellent, EUGH ✊🏾

Kinda wild I've always assumed these dudes were well read on Christian theology but no one clinched or corrected Joe when he said Lucifer was the angel of "music" like no bro, Lucifer was the angel of enlightenment.

I love all these guys individually and together. It’s so cool to hear them kick it and talk about whatever

The reason why Christianity is so easily ridiculed is because it’s a religion that is not immediately tied to a group of people or culture because it’s so wide spread. Furthermore so many people ridicule Christianity not because of the religion itself yet so many people suffer at the hands of “Christians” people who say they embrace their religion and may pray and go to church but once they come across someone different from them (gay, trans, black, etc) they turn to complete hatred. At some point in my life I was against religion because of those people but maturing is realizing that’s not every Christian and you shouldn’t turn away god for someone who isn’t god. Aside from that, people are defending Nas so hard because many people will take the video and use the excuse “it’s disrespectful” just to be racist and homophobic toward him so the conversation becomes so muddled. Is he being disrespectful? Maybe, but then why are we talking about him being gay? “Because it’s against god” whatever and that’s why he criticizes Christians and god, because he’s suffered due to the people who believe in faith but then why mock (if he is or not that’s for you to decide) god just to make his followers who don’t truly listen to him mad? It’s just a back and forth you can never win because it’s founded in personal beliefs that you hold to how you perceive god which is something no matter what you can’t change for someone. Two Christian will respect god in their own way and someone who might not believe in him will take a whole other approach. It’s just pointless. If you don’t like don’t watch it’s meaningless tbh

This journey with you three men, experiencing all this as a community, is so beautiful to me.

so yall like 21 savage rapping about killing people, and other artist like that, but nas x talking about christianity is where yall draw the line? I understand that its disrepectful if you are christian but when yall choose to call things out is weird sometimes to me at least

Thank God for berleezy,pg and Joe man these guys are super inspirational man I’m glad they started this back up and just getting to know them better thru these conversations 🤞🏾🤞🏾❤️

Whats so crazy is no one has EVER had a problem with rap blasphemy until Lil nas x... like yall listen to kanye and jayz but when a gay rapper does it yall suddenly don't get the message... ik this video is dated but ik for a fact they have this mindset is so fucked, yall are so focused on what he's doing instead of what he's saying and what's he's trying to put into the world. he's "killed" the devil, he's "beat" the devil in basketball ntm is christianity not about being apart of jesus, is the message of christianity not to be whole?

berlin, people saying u saved their lives with ur gaming videos had nothing to do w the games. it was all YOU! it’s ur vibe, ur humor, just ur whole personality. i’ve been watching u since i was like 11 and i’m about to be 19 this year. i don’t even like story based games all like that and still i watch those videos because it’s you fr

I totally understand why a lot of Christians weren't happy with the Lil Nas X 'J Christ' song. There definitely was imaginary in there which i would label as unsavory and blasphemous to the Christian belief. However, I personally feel like the backlash he got was disproportionate to his peers who have done similar if not more revolting things using Christ's name. I am in no way, shape, or form defending his behavior or saying that "others have done it so why cant he?" but more as a comparison to his backlash and others who have done similar things. Artist like Playboy Carti with his upside down crosses, Travis Scott dressing up as the Lord and Satan, Nicki Minaj sexualizing Catholicism, Lady Gaga sexualizing Nuns and Judas, Kendrick Lamar's glorified bedazzled crown of thorns, and Ariana Grande using God as a sex symbol (the list can go on forever) have done very unsavory things using the Lord's name and the Bible but somehow the backlash they experienced can't even be remotely compared to what Lil Nas X was facing. Many people were attacking Christians calling out his behavior because a lot (NOT ALL) were being very hypocritical when it came to evaluating the video. You used Kai Cenat as an example (which I think personally wasn't the best choice) of a man defending his religion, however Kai is an avid fan of many artist you can say are sacrilegious and in his video of criticizing Lil Nas X he almost slipped up and said the F slur on stream. In which many were able to see his biases masquerading around as legitimate criticisms. There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with defending your religion however to pick and choose who and who isn't blasphemous when doing the same act is not really defending but rather discriminating. Lil Nas X definitely deserves backlash for his video that's undeniable, however the Christian community still struggles with equally handing out punishments/shame when it comes to committing such sacrilegious acts. The reason you don't really see people playing with other religions like this is because in most religions regardless of your gender, race, sexuality, ethnicity etc a Sin is a Sin and you will be punished for it period. Although many Christians claim that they believe this idea as well, we more often than not come across hypocrites in the community that tarnish the faiths name which threatens the seriousness of it's followers. There's a MUCH bigger issue to be addressed when it comes to this topic. How much is too much, and where do we draw the line when it comes to religion especially when it comes to art, music, film etc? That's just my thoughts on it tho many could disagree

I love the way Joe, Pg & Berlin are so unique in their individuality like Joe with his DJ stuff and Pg with his movie things and Berlin with gaming and trying games. Seeing a live time friendship between them and even the other people that are part of SomeBros is so endearing. Seeing their respective personalities coming together and they bounce from one another is great. I’m so happy you guys started this podcast 🫶🏼 can’t wait to continue growing with you guys.

Asking if an 80s movie was in black and white I-

Dude, these podcast Eps.. The Speakeezy season this is going to be amazing!

As a caribbean person, JACK SPARROW is wild joe 😂😂

I’m so glad this podcast is really a thing now. Will be tuning in every single week.

PG lineup clean asl 😮‍💨shii fye

I don't know what PG was talking about when he mentioned Allah as "arm, leg, leg, head". This is NOT part of Islam. God is not described as having human characteristics. Also believing that Jesus came down as God is also completely against Islamic belief too. Saying that Allah is "our inner God" is not mentioned in Islam at all. Islam is clear that there is only one God and that Jesus was a prophet of God.

I was visiting texas a couple years ago during valentines day and they had a freeze. As a New Yorker I felt the same way Pg did like "why are they trippin'". It just comes down to the fact that texas is not prepared for cold weather like states that are used to the cold. It felt very apocalyptic while I was in texas during the freeze like hella people died. What tripped me out though is that it was colder in texas than it was in new york & new york was experiencing a snow storm at the time!

When is “Pause” gonna be over-played? I feel like that is so limiting within discourse.

This podcast just feels so important to our community. It truly feels as if this is a huge steeping stone in our path. Its so crazy how much a conversation can do for someone. Whether its the vibes of the conversation, or the message the conversation puts across, there is IMPORTANCE. That's so fucking fire.

I don’t think it’s Christianity that ppl really come for but it’s the ppl who worship that religion that can sometimes be the issue when choosing when something is sinful and make other sin seem greater then others when that’s not the case. So it just be the pick and choose that make ppl question certain things or don’t give as much respect for the religion. It not the religion itself but ppl in it that don’t represent it in the respect that it should be and or don’t live by it fully but want to make statements on certain topics when it come to it. If that make sense.

I love this podcast, it’s cool that this group is growing up alongside all of us. As I get older I wanna hear the thoughts and stances of the people I look up to in a way. Texas cold is no joke solely because of the unstable power grid, one one hand I get people panicking but people snatching EVERYTHING off the shelves was tew much imo.

Berlin’s lil nas x bit went on for way too long 😂

Man y’all really be having me rollinnnn 😭😭

There's so many great points in the comments being made about the Lil Nas X music video/Christianity discourse that I dont wanna run the points into the ground. On the topic though, I've noticed that the way we have passionate disagreements with others on the internet has changed dramatically. Instead of engaging in conversations in a healthy manner and separating ourselves from our beliefs to talk about points, a lot of the time, people tend to use those disagreements to make personal attacks at others to try and win the argument (these are called Ad hominem fallacies, logic girlies rise up). When it comes to criticizing a religious belief, this gets really tricky because its easy to feel like our religious/spiritual beliefs are a part of us and integral to our identity. So when someone criticizes a spiritual or religious belief that has saved us, given us meaning in this life or provided solace, it can feel like WE are being called into question which makes people defensive. I think people are valid to criticize something they've had negative experiences in and I think its valid that people who have positive experiences highlight the positive aspects and challange the critique. What's missing in most spaces but what I see in these comments, is people sharing wisdom and perspective with respect.

THANK YALL for going on Apple Podcasts. You’ve saved my days at work 🙏🏽🙏🏽. Much love keep doing yall thing man!!

Another banger 🔥PG needs to stop talking about Allah though, high as hell talking about "Allah stands for arm, leg, leg, arm, head." That was the most stoner shit I've ever heard and they really believed him.

I’m glad Joe and pg got their vision back after 10mins and a hour , I still haven’t got my vision back in my left eye from gaming too close and it’s been a couple of months 🙄

i love the show but can we give the masculinity police an episode off every now and again

This is the best podcast on RU-vid right now, We're blessed that all three hosts are equally as funny, and it feels like you're in the room with them.

38:28 with all due respect to PG that is not the view of God in Islam. We believe the creator is uniquely 1 and is nothing like us and we are nothing like him (Quran chapter 112). And Jesus Peace Be Upon Him we believe is one of the mightiest messengers but is not at all God Almighty. Just want to clarify this ✌🏽but I’m appreciative that religion is a talking point and we as Muslims are just as offended to see these depictions of Jesus PBUH and even the ark of Noah Peace Be Upon Him and other imagery so we’re with you in that sense ✊🏽.

im ngl berlin and his boys may be some of the realest influencers on this platform its hard to find the authenticity and genuine passion that they portray in they’re work and that ending convo really hit home especially being someone that takes hella inspiration from yall. i hope this podcast gets hella publicity because you guys deserve it, much love ❤

Ngl everyone needs to remember that not everyone who is on the list is a pedo. There are victims on the list along with people who had no clue what was going on there.

Man i love this energy it is great to hear these conversations from these goats

Christianity has a bad history whether it’s from people misinterpreting parts of the book and using that to fuel their hate or the unspeakable things that were done in framed as acts of God, and it’s majorly due to the fact of how big it is so many people believe in it, and there’s so much attention on it with the media, especially in America, because we were not founded on religion watch, everybody interpreted it as being founded it on religion. Even speaking on when it was brought here U.S and was forced on people it stems so much discourse and hate bc people use it as a justification for their harmful and hurtful ways when the Bible and many religions teach about love, faith and, discipline but it was so construed and people lose sight of the real message(by the way this is no hate to any religion this is just a perspective I wanted to give to the convo)
