Funky Dineva Live - Wednesday July 17th, 2024 

So we ain’t at church no more, I guess we down to the Oyster Bar where the Honda Cars be 😂😂😂😂😂

He ain’t lying about these jobs. Invest in yourself let the job that you have now pay for whatever dream you have

Thanks to all the funky members who put their lives on the line everyday....All the first responsers standup 😊❤

Firefighters go into dangerous fires and they want to go home We can’t discount brave people who run towards danger against natural human instincts

Funky, I did 22 years in the Navy and I can tell you, there are many people that would give "give their life for the country." Not me girl, I joined for the check and the college benefits. I didn't start any wars, and my goal, was to lay low and come home to my family. All by combat was on the ship. I volunteered to go to Afghanistan once, and it didn't happen. I learned that as I wanted to go, my mom prayed I didn't. If I had died, all she'd get was a flag and a $450k check. There are lots of brave men and women that without question put themselves in harm way. Somehow, they put their fears aside and are willing to sacrifice their life on the front line. I was in the office updating their service records and making sure they were paid!

As a retired Police Captain, I did take an oath for a job II love❤.....Starting Florida salary @ most Agencies is $70,000. In addition, some Agencies require you to have a BS before being hired.

It’s okay Funky, I’m a bad employee too, in the fact that I’m never on time. I will be your hardest working employee, but imma be late 😂

Okay gurl you can take the oyster background down now !! 😂😂

There is much honor in creating a life and saving one. I've saved a life before, and I've been blessed ever since with good health and peace.

My son has a degree in accounting while heading to received his master. He’s an officer because he decided to follow his father.God picks his special angels to protect his children on earth. Thanks for serving your purpose son. A lot of people have a lot to say about officers until your calling 911. Some people I wouldn’t spit on out here harming kids and the elderly keep up the Good work. Mommy so very proud of you son!

Halle Berry is worth $90 million she ain't hurting. Halle been famous since the 80's. She has been in the business for 40 years. Halle is a award winning actress. If she don't wanna work with Kim. She doesn't have too. Also Halle has multiple movies coming out this year. If Halle had scheduling conflicts. She couldn't do it. I doubt Ms Halle is pressed about Kim K. There may be million other Black actress. Ryan Murphy can go get. But there is only one Halle Berry. Funky was capping for Kim K hard....If you wanna be 100% honest Kim shouldn't be in a movie or tv show. With Halle or Glenn Close. The talent level is moons apart. 😅😂

My dad was a marine, a 24:50 police officer and a detective. The only reason he left the force is because it was a long time ago and he wasn’t going to be promoted to police chief. He went into corporate security and became the head of a major company. Yes, he was a kind of man who would have sacrificed his life for someone other than his family.

Some people have a higher calling and take their jobs seriously and are dedicated to it. Just because you wouldn't, doesn't mean no one else would...

It takes a special person to do these jobs. Military, Police Officers, Firefighters, Correction Officers, FBI, Secret Service. My husband has a Bachelor degree but chose to be a Correction Officer and my son chose the military. It does take a special person and its not for everyone. Just like everyone cant be a mortician

Funky talm bout why be modest/humble when he was preaching a whole word yesterday bout ppl toning down they bougieness... How contrary 😂

go'on to the next thing, Quentin...😂😂😂 we nit gonna all agree on this law enforcement topic❤

I'm proud of your come up Dineva. You are an example of how one can achieve what they dream to be if they keep going and never give up. Haters can go down under.

This one hit home. I’m a principal and my husband is a police sergeant. Everyday we go to work, we know our job is to protect the people we serve (even though I didn’t sign up for that). We should find other jobs if we aren’t willing to do so. Also, no one is trained to jump in front of a bullet. They are trained to neutralize the threat. My husband always wanted to be a police officer and has 2 degrees!

My mother called what Q is doing "the poor mans syndrome." When people aren't use to money, jobs, and certain luxuries they talk about it constantly. They try to convince the world of how awesome they are, in wanting to be accepted. When you got it, and are use to it having things/money, you just enjoy it. He's still angry about what Mitchell showed the RU-vid streets. He said it, and then acted like he was just playing. No he wasn't, he meant every word. Funky is not doing ANYTHING, that anyone reading this comment can't do. You don't need a degree to do this. His mentor Mitchell did not have a degree and she provided him with a place to live. Yeah No! It's another way to show Superiority. And then he goes on to tell you none of us are special, and in the same breath say that " he was favored." You can't make this stuff up.

Not true! My son joined the National Guards at 17. Once he graduated from high school, he attended FAMU. Graduated from FAMU went on to Detroit Mercy where he and his wife graduated as Dentist. They're now full time Navy and are dentist in the military. They decided to take FULL advantage of allowing the military pay their full college tuition. So now when they get out they will not have any school loans to pay. They joined the military for a purpose and makes over six figures, housing paid for, free insurance, and traveling the world enjoying life. So not all people join because they have no goals or a purpose in life.

This is why fire fighters are superheroes, the majority of humans would never. My first instinct is flight 😔

Omg 😂😂😂😂😅😅😅 not Fredricks of Hollywood heel .. I haven’t heard that name in minute 😂😂😂

Funky on my job we had all these drills and trainings for violent situations on the job and unfortunately a very violent situation happen on the job and all I will say is the training went out the window and human instinct took over and it was every man for himself it was a chaotic situation so hats off to any human that thinks all the training in the world will kick in a life or death situation

I’m proud of you. You doing your thang. You have the absolute right to talk yo shit! One thing I would say is talk it without comparing yourself to regular folk. You can pop yo shit without telling us you live better than us. We know lol

I've never had Covid and tested every time I had a slight cough or throat tingle. God is good ❤

Q- I have seen you for 12 yrs and you always say “ I ain’t gonna teardown someone down without giving them a hands to come up “ I am so proud of you with this Miss Amanda tomorrow. She needs some positive help in the world right now and this is what’s she’s amazing at .. thank you for helping our sister out .. she’s smart .. just caught up in a bad cycle .. so amazing of you and her .

You don’t live better than me……❤ I’m humble because I’m grateful to God for all he has provided for me

OH EM GEE! That Amanda Seales, Project 2025 episode is needed. It is so many ppl who really does not understand what is going on. THANK YOU, and I will be on the live so that I can ask her my questions.

Halle got a movie with Mark Walhberg coming on Netflix. Also a horror/thriller. Coming to the theaters. She'll be just fine....

The level of ignorance surrounding COVID is astounding… just because you haven’t or didn’t drop dead after having COVID 5xs, doesn’t make it normal… you’re sick too often and broken down when you do get sick… much is still unknown about the effects and affects of COVID long term…just silliness.

Funky picks really weird hills to die on 😭

Yesterday Dineva told the ppl to not wear Jewelry & whatnot b/c their coworkers felt some kind of way🫤

Talking down to your audience while maintaining that your RU-vid bag is forever is a delusion I aspire to 😌

“I’m open to being wrong.” “Y’all are not gonna get me to believe that!” 🤔

Look at funky on time and staying late for work. 😂

Watching the playback. I’m a cosmetologist and police officers train for less hours than we do. Police officers, firefighters, and jobs like it are public servants. Like many said, it’s the job they chose with the knowledge they may die on the job. You shouldn’t sign up if you don’t think you’ll put yourself in harms way, I know I wouldn’t. Think about nurses during covid. They knew they could get sick from this new thing but understood the job they signed up to do. The problem is that our society is so selfish bc since the beginning of time there’s been ppl whose job was to protect the community.

Dineva my 84 year old grandad caught Covid in January 2024 and it set off a mini stroke. He’s better now but it’s still serious for susceptible people

Seriously Funky Dineva, I LOVE YOU!!! #truthteller

All I took from this live was “Fashion Nova Thot Starter Kit” 🤣🤣💀💀

I’m praying for financial freedom. We are so proud of you. Loved your interview with Kasey

But thank God those people exist, thank God. A fireman saved my life.. But boo you are correct, I would , could never sign up for that gig💁🏾‍♀️😂❤️

Fireman Bae signed up for it because he said he always wanted to be a firefighter 🤷🏾‍♀️🔥 i pray for him daily

The flight or fight response can go either way. Some people’s instincts are to protect other people. These jobs are created for people who are willing to do that. It’s imperative for people to understand their nervous system and their trauma responses before deciding their career.

Remember your modesty soliloquy when telling someone not to wear luxury brands to the cookout or work

Halle didnt mean any disrespect to Kim. But, Halle knows doing a series with a actor that's not taking seriously would make her stock drop. I get it, totally.

If ppl have such an issue with Dineva ……. Please click off! He spends more time addressing yall than those that want to laugh and have difference and same opinion’s. I don’t understand those who don’t rock with him, yet … still on his channel!

I work @ hospital... people are still passing away 😢🙏🏾

😂😂😂 Q, you are just crazy! Not a UTI or bone on bone arthritis!!! I can't with you!😂😂😂

Nephew you on edge😅😂!! no but really nephew it is the oath of The Secret Service to lay your life on the line to protect the president of the world’s super power USA. That’s a known fact. They literally sign up to step in front of a bullet. That’s it! You my Florida kin and we smart af so I thought you would know this fact. They did what they signed up for. Now somebody may have handed in they resignation after that😂😂😂😂

You are 100% correct about living in Atlanta. I lived there for four years after graduating from a HBCU. It put it all together for me.

NESSA 🔥🔥💪💪😮😮 HE'S DA PRESIDENT THEY HAVE TO ANNOUNCE THAT.... GUURRL GON 2DA NEXT Thing!!!!

The way I look forward to these lives! Thank you !!!

The whole “Judicial Fish” segment lmaoo had me 😂😂

Hey Funky I am obsessed with the transparency of your show😊 👏 👏 👏

I currently live in Atlanta, and have been here for 10years. I understand where Funky is coming from. However Atlanta is a city of the haves and have nots. There are those that have put in the work preparing themselves BEFORE they move here who are doing well. However there are lots of people who are struggling. Crime is real here. Only a couple of months ago 3 men in the Apt next to mine were killed over a marijuana deal that went bad. One of the men crawled in front of my apt door and died. All in their 20s. There is a serious homeless problem here, that no one seems to acknowledge. The poor seems to be invisible.

This is where Amanda shines, definitely will be front & center for tomorrow’s show!

Not spending $4,000 a month on rent. That needs to be a mortgage.

Quentin, contradicted himself with the not being modest thing today but yesterday going in on people who are hated on for not dumbing it down for coworkers or at the family function. Also, there's nothing wrong with sharing what we have. There is something off with saying "I live better than most of y'all"

If I hire you to protect me, YOU BETTA PROTECT ME!

I love Funky! Been watching you for over 12 years! No need to be humble! You are a MOTIVATOR! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Brag on and respond back to the Gruls! 😂

😅😅😂😂 I love you Funky! The show was so good today!!! ❤❤❤ You always have a different perspective and my emotional intelligence has so improved listening to you!!!

THE Halle Berry ain’t gotta do a damn thang w/ Kim K - Glenn Close should have backed out too lol

Great show Funky! And F*** em if that can’t take a joke!! 😅

So I guess we can wear diamonds and cuban links to the family picnic since we ain't being humble/modest 😂😂😂😂😂

Nobody:... Me: "My line suspended" 😂😂😂

I’m so happy Amanda is coming ! That is the perfect person to talk about project 2025

Putting a background full of oysters up to distract from Funky Dineva’s feet is just Nasty work!! 🤣🍵💀

He hit it on the nose about how black people are collaborative in ATL vs in other places. I recently moved from ATL back to my hometown after 10 years and I’m looking for that type of black tribe feeling in my profession but where I am, folks have a scarcity mindset. I’m grateful that I established myself in the A professionally.

Covid is bad for the elderly. Be sensitive Funky. Please don't come to Atlanta. We full.

That’s what I like about Atlanta. I am from Atlanta and people will put you on!! Now I live in Houston and people are not going to put you on without a charge. I tell people this all the time. ❤

Ooooo funky! The amount of military that out earn, and out educate you with all that air in your chest... and they had options... and they left those educational institutions with no debt! How abt you?

Youre right about the military. Most of the guys i went in with were older and had no other option. Some were even college graduates looking to get their loans forgiven. No one is giving their life up for that lil but of money

What Q says doesn’t affect you if you know who you are and you’re comfortable in your own! I know my income and my husband’s so him bragging about his income does not bother me at all.

45:33 “Judicial Fish” 😂😂💀💀

I was ten minutes late at a grocery sto and got reprimanded. I have to find another job😂😂😂

Walter Lee already warned y’all about Atlanta. It’s just smoke & mirrors.

You just said yesterday to be modest and dumb yourself down when you go to family functions Literally yesterday

As a long term follower I have to say that their are people that are anointed people that want to serve the people such as police, fireman, .Regardless of the income they receive. Money is not always the answer. Love you Funky been riding with you for 5 years.

How does Q hate "contrarians" but he's one himself?

Q I LOVE when you show how educated, balanced & thoughtful you are. I miss those shows so much.

The way you talk about Atlanta is the way I talk about living in metro Detroit. There is something special about living in a city catered to your race and culture. Detroit made me strong in my love of self, blackness and African heritage.

I hate Atlanta. I tried to live there twice. I went to school there and went back when all my college friends moved back and lasted 1 year.

The part about humility is so true. Only under achievers are bothered by the success of others. I love hearing about how much money people have. It motivates me not to be basic 😂😂

Wait! How Louisiana caught the “mediocre” stray! My state could never!🤭😅😂💅

As a person who is actively joining the Air Force, I agree with everything you said in the beginning. I actually chose airfoce because they get treated the best and don’t really go to battle. Me signing up….they better not put me in nobody’s war cause im not playing those games babe….✌🏾

Chile, I don’t think Kirk & the BM ever STOPPED Hunchin😮‍💨

I was very sad today but you made me laugh so hard, THANKS Q!

Karlos Miller from 85 South said that he trained to be a firefighter got all the way up to the burning house and didnt want to go in My cousin is a police officer he dropped out of college and the job was the best for him at that time.

I knew it was Amanda people can say what they want about her but she’s doing the hard work and she’s so knowledgeable so I’m glad y’all are getting to connect ! She came to Baltimore a few months ago and I loved her before, but love her even more now ! So I’m excited

most of his supporters are working class people and he don't ever waste time to tell yall he better than yall 🤣

What I love most about Funkie, is that he speaks facts on what the majority won’t say, but thinks the same way. ❤

You clearly don't understand then I work in a hospital in Cleveland and people are still pasting away of C19

Replay Gang! Baby Funky was using his words for this live! Especially during the political rundown. But when he said, "Tell ya mama to go be humble with the little bit she got." I peed a little 🤣

Funky is defo king of ‘it is what it is’

Military- AF retired. Entered in halfway through college but I was running out of Money and didn’t want to have a bunch of loans when I finished school. 😂 I was a weapons specialist, and I retired.

I disagree with "people " not being special nobody can sing like Whitney Houston could. Nobody has the talents of Michael Jackson. And Halle Berry has a long term fan base who will always support her work. Where the "unknown actress" 👀 coming to replace her would not.

I hope somebody told Funky Joe was supposed to be at an event last night which is why they had to tell it. It was going to come out anyway.🤦🏿‍♀️

When you take certain jobs, it's your job to put your life on the line! Period. That's literally what you signed up for.

Q is right, I went to the police academy and most of the recruits were mall cops or young men and women with no other opportunities. The police academy alone is very dangerous and after having to be up and at attention everyday at 5am until 10 pm 5 days a week at the academy for $11 an hour I realized my life ain’t worth the 45k I was going to start off at.

Damn this was GOOD show!!! Love you Funky Dineva!!!!
