As a black man, I appreciate how Aba and Preach check each other in a healthy way . I feel like that allows their friendship to thrive and grow soo amazingly. Big Ups
They're business partners in this youtube channel and with their comedy but they don't hangout together like friends do. That's what they said in other video. They don't have the same group of friends,etc... they may hangout with other comedians or some of their friends but they're what we would called acquaintances. They met through comedy and they vibed well together and they decided to start being a duo. They were doing that even before they started RU-vid. I went to one of their comedy show!!!
@@MyOwnChannel92 okay nice. Still admire how they handle each other ever the less. A lot of men (black or white or whatever) aren’t as open to check each other when they step out of line. So I commend them
This is why these boys are the best: they take someone's unhinged anger and transform it into a genuinely self-aware reflection about themselves and society
After I cracked up at the song, I didnt know they were gonna be mature and poignant...but I should have known. Preach: "I dont think he knows what he is pissed about," was a legit cherry on top of his train of thought.
I also thought it was wholesome af hearing preach say “you called me out” and aba saying that he edited it out (for preach’s honour) and preach ‘i know but i reflected on that and grew because of it’ ❤️
True signs of a heyoka empath. They mirror people back to themselves. It's not meant to be mean, but to help others see where they can improve. Also to show ppl the bigger picture or a different perspective. They can also break down ppl who are full of themselves, in humorous ways. Heyokas are the peace keepers.
Some of the most honest humble and self-aware men on the internet. I don't always agree with you but I respect you guys because of how genuine you are. You say what must be said to create a healthy dialogue.
@@briankenome Pearl started out reacting to Aba and Preach videos, and she knows how massive they are, she was probably dreading it inside. Even Sa Ra was shocked and surprised he tried to go after them. He also thought it was going to go viral and "light up the internet" he was after his 15 seconds of fame and some recognition from Pearl
Man. The level of emotional maturity in these guys, and the want to attack the problem at the root, and even handling it with humor. This is why I will forever love these guys. They’ve got good heads on their shoulders and it’s reflected in almost every argument they encounter. Their videos are not just top tier, their character is top tier. That’s why regardless of the studio, the mics, the creaky floor, or anything else the critics can name, they will continue to grow. Y’all are the best.
Exactly, we aren't so shallow as to allow these unnecessary esthetic related things to distract from the very real, very intelligent arguments A&P make! If your points are good, I dgaf how simple your set up is, and adversely, if you make shitty non points, your nice set up is not going to save you from that, especially not in this case, with Mr. 12-word-vocabulary 😅 No wonder he had to just keep repeating himself
This dude is the prime example of "not knowing when to shut up". The others are like "we were talking about divorce where did this come from?" and he kept going.
not the first time he done that on the show either. I watched a few episodes with him & this guy always derails the convo off topic & just keeps rambling.
It happens when you plan to do something your thought was the right thing then you find out midway that you messed up and should not have even thought about it but you can't stop mid-way cos then you look like a Muppet and then you just have to see it to the end, making yourself look like a ginormous Muppet 😂. If that guy doesn't cringe watching that later, then he's a lost cause.
And YES you are correct about some black men feeling they have to overcompensate. It’s a symptom of a group who feels like they are losing and then in turn want to make another group feel like they’re losing. In this case it’s against other black men and black women. It really hurts my heart seeing this played out so often and it being fed into. 😭
When we talk about “I’m better than you” We are talking about 2 men, who are in the same room they started RU-vid in, with a creaky floor, ALONE with just their own opinion and humor.. who have millions of followers, and views Vs. Multiple people who need to spend thousands of dollars on a fancy set, who needs guest to keep it interesting, who need to say outrageous things to get views, who need to start “internet beef” to stay relevant, who wouldn’t be able to sit in a room ALONE with his own opinion & talent & get HALF the views as Aba and preach…. I would have to argue… the two men who don’t need anything but themselves & their floor to be HUGE on RU-vid… are the ones who are better. But hey, that’s just me
Don't change a thing about your production. You guys keep it simple, and this makes it feel candid and real. I don't agree with everything you guys say, but I respect your induvial views/thoughts. I like keeping an open mind by listening to different sides.
It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war Those who have swords, and know how to use them, but keep them sheathed…shall inherit the earth
As a mom of a black male child, I absolutely love how Aba n Preach address/diffuse conflict with mental toughness. I hope this catches on worldwide. My child is growing up in Chicago and we absolutely need more, not less, examples of how young men can manage conflict resolution productively. Bravo amigos! 😀👏👏👏 Edit for the trolls: my son has a father, my husband, who is raising him. I'm speaking from a community pov. My children will have to interact with other children without stable homes. We need all the positive male influence that we can get. But thanks for all the unsolicited parenting advice. I hope you all practice what you preach! 😉
Mental toughness? They bash a woman for her views based on her Catholic upbringing and you think they are intelligent? God help us if you think you think bashing views based on religious choice is conflict resolution. Your son should be getting his life skills from his father not 2 guys on the internet.
@@tailwatcher2500 lol stop it, she made many a tik tok criticising the church for the way they empower women, called Godly men “fools” for marrying born again women who turned their back on past sinful behavior….if she’s Catholic, the sky’s neon purple
Never get rid of the creaky floor. That's part of the personality of the "show" and gives what you guys do way more character than these fake "60 minutes" interview setups.
Much respect to Preach bringing up his own faults and self reflection during this. He didn’t have to. Both of you consistently do that and it’s a big part of what makes you the kind of role models young men need. Keep it up brothers.
ABA let's women put fingers in his butthole and you actually think he's the kind of role model young men need 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 . ABA has said on multiple occasions that they don't give af about y'all
In their current "form" Aba and Preach are untouchable 1. Their takes are generally logical so for a sane person at worse you can disagree with them but can't really ridicule them using their takes. 2. They apologize when they realize they are wrong even if there is no backlash or push back against something they have said. 3. They are introspective (demonstrated by Preach's story of how Aba checked him when he was holding on to the FnF thing for too long) further making it less likely to he caught sleeping. Like honestly it is borderline stupid at present to attack them... You can disagree with them but if you come with a "I got smoke" mindset you will be resoundingly owned.
People don't understand that the true fans of AnP we are here for honest, true, unbiased content. We all want more peace in our lives and you all encourage us in one way to think about why we act a certain way. It doesn't matter the size of the production, how expensive the mic is, it's about finding your inner peace.
It’s really them keeping it real that keeps me watching, the honesty, because everyone on planet earth has biases, but when you acknowledge that and still try to get to the root of things that’s real
Those sqeaky floors, that background layout, the single angle POV, is part of the ABA and PREACH RU-vid EXPERIENCE. Nearly 2 million views AND SOARING, and STILL keeping it real!
It's laughable what passes for "alpha male" these days. And the fact that it matters to so many guys in the first place is even more laughable. That being said, I cried when that man said "Don't say we. Just say you." Bro should have really read the room on that one.
It’s generally the opposite. Emotionally immature, lack of self-awareness, poor social capabilities, inability to lead anyone. Generally the idea of a masculine figure is someone who’s strong, a good leader, capable of providing for those in his familial circle, displays good judgement. The “alpha male” entertainment plebs on RU-vid are literally just a 14 year old boy’s idea of a strong man. If you scratch beneath the surface they’re all soft boiled eggs who don’t have any business trying to lead lost men out of the wilderness. They’re just trying to grab headlines and get RU-vid money for chatting shit.
I will be so upset if Aba and Preach ever get rid of the creaky floor…pure comedic genius. Sometimes in their silence the floor speaks 😂. I watch this podcast for Aba’s articulation, Preach’s realness and both of their perspectives!
Hes on an entirely different wavelength from everyone else in the room. They were lost because they didn't know they were supposed be upset. He's by himself for real. He needs to get it together.
He needs a slap! I hear Aba with all the allow the violence stuff but sometimes ppl just need to get slapped! Those who don’t hear must FEEL!!!!!!!! 👋🏿
I'm not usually a huge proponent of the "Toxic Masculinity" arguments but I'm definitely seeing more and more that there are real examples of it and generally it's actually to our own detriment. I think the reason i didn't like the idea was that the ideology was/is too often used to devalue Masculinity as a whole which I think is wrong, and I think the other reason is that the ideology regarding it was/is also too often stretched and contorted to explain many women's issues that weren't necessarily the result of toxic Masculinity.
@@PorchBanditwhile you aren’t wrong,there is still Some serious issues amongst men(of all colors honestly) that NEED to be adressed or we will suffer harder and our sons will soon too.there I balance that can be achieved in keeping our stoicism while taking away habits and certain traditions that haven’t truly benefited us
This is why I love you two, you're not far left off the deep end woke, and you're not far right off the deep end conservative, you're just regular people with common sense! Why is that so rare these days? Especially online and on social media, everyone is so ridiculous and illogical and offensive just to get attention, no wonder politics are a hot mess.
Maybe because they’re immigrants, they had clashes with gangs growing up, and they listen to wisdom where they can, displaying it on a platform that reaches many ages, helping it with humor. And maybe because they’re artists they’ve resisted identifying as conservative, but a lot of what they say is stuff traditionalists have known for a long time (minus stuff relating to sex). Looking at the slavery situation in Qatar, I’m still appalled so many Americans don’t understand how the outside world is, let alone how the human condition works.
They're sane and normal. Most crazy people are spoilt, overprivileged people with no real life experience. People who've dealt with hardship are firmly planted in reality.
Aba and Preach are the true definition of masculinity in my opinion. They are not obsessed with being right, they embody integrity and apply logic CORRECTLY.
Hey, I'm the only LOGIC police here mmmkay?? ONLY I THE LORD have the right to judge who embodies what incorrectly or correctly or close to either sides like sixty-nine shades of brown mmmmkay InsincerelyChampaign !
@@PutsOnSneakers BWWAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA i didn't kno what u meant with InsincerelyChampaign until i clicked on her channel name its "SincerelyCharmaine"🤣🤣🤣🤣 u mad man talking like a real religious guy bless u 🙏
i fkn love aba m preach too! hilarious especially how they wrap it up with actual arguments that make sense instead of strawman shit like most other youtubers throw around
The preach "finish your sentences" comment made me LoL. Just before he said it I was thinking "this guy needs to read a thesaurus and learn a few more words"
Every time I am witness to fuckery I scream "IT IS A SEEEEKKKNNNEEESSS!!!!" Thank You Aba & Preach for being a voice of reason in a never-ending hurricane of foolishness...
Hahaha, I second that. I have heard Ava’s voice pop in my head while watching other RU-vid videos of of the hinge people and he comes in my head and i just agree
You are freaking right Black people are way too aggressive towards each other but downgrade their energy when it is another group. Very annoying and disturbing to see how self-hatred we are as a group
@@gabrielmeth4844 No black woman is threatening another woman on RU-vid regardless. We might argue disagree, and hate but theres no black female RU-vidr with this childish behaviour. There's a reason why Aba specifically said "black men ".
@@aquarius-woman5364 just because it isn’t on RU-vid doesn’t mean it isn’t happening because I’ve seen a shit ton of videos of black woman bullying /fighting/harassing each other so ….
There has to be a point where we have to accept that some people aren't worth talking about if they cannot take criticism well and they're going to twist your words every single time against, even if you're not trying to attack them. No one is worth that kind of time & energy.
100%, I get that they maybe feel a need to defend their actions when they meant no harm to begin with. But the clearly “put on” reaction by the ol dude with an aim to generate clicks and shit shouldve always been ignored by AnB. But we must also never forget that AnB aren’t perfect and they are also content creators who might lean into bs for clicks. They know damn well they didn’t have to address this shit.
@@MackJoseph cause saying that ppl on the left and right act stupid and say dumb shit instead of being a pick me and saying what u wanna hear while having fun is acting like a clown
Pearl was quick to vehemently distance herself from whatever tf that guy was saying, an outstanding move I'll say. She learned from the mistakes of her fallen brethren😂😂😂
I think she was feeling it, otherwise she wouldn't of kept it in the edit. The production is hers, the last in East London is in her name. Paid by her parents money but probably now she pays for it.
@@dazedconfuseds That's a good point , You reckon she left it on to capture the attention of aba and preach and as such, boosting her audience but also saving face in the process. Essentially throwing that guy under the bus 🤣😅 But then again most of Pearl's videos a captured live, I haven't seen this specific one and so idk if it was taken from a clip she may have posted or the live video instead. If its the former I'd be inclined to agree with you.
@@Napkin2d considering how the other guy and her went out of their way to ensure that they don't share his hot take, I honestly beg to differ. Actions do speak louder than words though so perhaps.
@@MegaIIII didn’t they make an entire video going over how that story sounded extremely made up and actually defended Myron over it even though he really dislikes Fresh and fit
What I really like about these two is the fact they’ll point out the stupidity on both sides, and do it in a strong healthy masculine way. Honestly the world needs more of this now
He’s the definition of a crash dummy he’ll die for Pearl’s RU-vid channel and we have no clue what his name is. It’s also ironic how he was talking down on Aba n Preach without realizing Aba n Preach have another channel and they are the unofficial Kings of the Manosphere because they are so balanced
Creaky old floor, one microphone, common sense and healthy reflection. Love the show for years, keep it up guys. People that need a lot of irrelevant shit to make good content might just not have the best content.
The creaky floor makes it feel like were in the same room with them. Its unintentional but its great for audience engagement. Like living room setting on TV talk shows
@@LittleMissDeeDee it's almost like he's enveloped in smoke. He can't speak properly, he looks confused, can't see his way to an end of a sentence 🤣🤣🤣... Brother needs help fr
I’ve been watching you two for about two years now. Don’t get rid of the creaky floor. It keep your platform real. Kind of says, what y’all doing is from the heart.
In 1 sentence Aba summed up a plague that is endemic in poor Socioeconomic communities “Blackmen have to over compensate for their masculinity and act way tougher than they actually are…!” This in my opinion is pivotal
Part of it is also they are mostly raised by women, so what ends up happening is a severe disconnect from masculinity and failure to see masculinity represented in a healthy fashion. This is why a lot of these alpha male types in the “black manosphere” space reflect a lot of the “overly emotional” behaviors they criticize women for.
@@suzygirl1843 That has nothing to do with that point being made. The point is about how it is between black AMERICAN men amongst each other regardless of who else is around. The over compensating their masculinity always trying to one up the other beyond who they truly are is a problem.
Don’t forget the fatherless rate so a disconnect in true masculinity. To be fair, the poorest communities in the US are white and in the south (specifically KY, WV) and the same thing isn’t seen. Violence is a big factor for the way BM/BB behave as they’re surrounded by it.
I think Aba N Preach need to make a course on how to stay chill in a world where people just want the smoke for no reason. Your patience and humour are legendary.
16:05 "You're the only one in the room who saw that elephant" she was so right. Glad dude got it off his chest because no one else felt or thought the way he did not even Pearl.
As 1 black man to 2 more, this was a really solid video. Personally, i’m grateful that you all are holding yourselves accountable and in this light. It has a major pour over on the rest of us. Its also a good example that there is so much more to black men than hate and that we are much more.
I like that you’re in the apartment w the squeaky floor. It’s more intimate and original than the whole podcast setup that most ppl have. The sets are like watching a daytime talk show and every channel is the same three setups. I don’t always agree w you guys but I like the different perspective and I love the originality.
"I feel like they only have this type of energy for other black men" is the absolute truth, and add ing black women to that equation shows that you guys are in tuned with what's going on in the black community, because where there's smoke for BM there's fire for BW all over social media. And why is he sitting on there defending that woman as if she can't defend herself? If that girl, with barely any lived experience, has the gall to sit on a podcast aligning with misogynist talking points... she articulate enough to defend her own self.
@@thepovdweller I assume he's Haitian or Jamaican based on the fact he mentioned it and said they weren't and his accent. Plus they're basically next to each other.
You guys are so cute together, I mean your synergy as friends is a rare thing to see. Lots of people do couples react and friends react channels but I seldom find a channel where the 2 people bounce off each other so well. You guys both respect and love each other like brothers, it's just cute I love it! 🤩🕊
This was the most hilarious "smoke" session I have ever watched. Dude ran in circles over his issues, for a topic everyone else in the room was not even on. He's that friend that goes out with you knowing he's going to get into a fight without telling you we are about to get into a fight. Like bruv, give me the option of laying my life down, don't choose for me....clown
@@kro0018 He is the example of Biggie's "Never get high on your own supply." He knew he f'd up but could not turn back. Everyonr else 'The topic is divorce', Him naw I wanna pick an imaginary fight with A&P.
Man, y'all time and time again prove to everyone how "quality men producing quality content" y'all are. Cause you showed the video, y'all made your jokes, and then you dug deep into it and broke it down. It wasn't just about "the smoke" with you two, it's about understanding. Preach's story of self reflection and his honesty about that situation is what sets good men apart from the rest. Self reflection is everything. Self awareness is everything. Just want to say thanks for promoting that through what you guys do.
They proudly exclaim BW don't deserve their protection but desperately and eagerly waits for any chance they can take at being the protector of WW, till he overshot the run way and basically defended where it wasn't necessary and now he looks like the 🤡 BW and society knows him/BM(the ones who h8 BW) to be... embarrassing
Upmost respect for the intellectual consistency & honesty. Recognizing how your opinions/critiques may have missed the nuances in other peoples’ viewpoints. recognizing when a person tries to pick up the torch & fight for ppl who don’t want a fight……you guys refused to get sucked into an ego beef, or clip words up in bad faith to dunk on others from a disingenuous moral high ground like the dummies on TYT. Your fans sincerely thank & appreciate you guys.
I agree with most of what you said. Guess I just don't get what Aba N Preach has to do with TYT. So vastly diff; that to even mention in the same sentence... peculiar.
@@k.m.b969 Seems to me he’s just some clown that looked up a few words he considered intellectual and strung them together after being triggered by a tyt vid that he watched before and wanted to let everyone know🙄…….why an asshat would try and link the two shows how disturbed he is in his thinking! 😒👈🏽
@@darnellwilliams8783 what are you even talking about? Last time they talked about fresh and fit was over a month ago and it was because DJ Akademiks flipped out on their show, they had to talk about it.

I thought being a man is also not caring what people think. Being a man or woman seems to be a bunch of made up shit. I thought our penis would be a good answer but even that is up to debate according to some.
Its weird its like they're all apart of this whole dictator fad where people want all the attention but none of the criticism they just soft as hell trying to be bullies.
As an now man 29, that has watched you two for OVER 5 years....one of things I learned from you two and something that most men do not overstand is how CONSISTENT you two are and how an man should be. Consistency is an lost art of being an "man" and most are not adapt at being consistent. So when you represent something that some lack and aren't willing to admit, you are met with bruised egos. Bruised egos respond, MOST OF THE TIME, with childish and/or very telling simulations of fuck you or what do you do to deflect from taking accountability. The other flip side to this is appearances. They want smoke because you are exposing actors, it is harder to be authentic than play an character you imagined/fabricated. In conclusion, stay great and stay safe you two. You are loved and appreciated. I so hope I get to work with you too soon, as you have changed my life in so many ways. Much gratitude and abundance to you both.💯💪🏿🙏🏿
I've noticed that too. The majority of men in this generation aren't consistent. We try to dip our hands in so many pies that we can't finish any of them. It's why most men are indecisive these days and not consistent in nature.
I really appreciated preach admitting he was hot-headed about another situation and how he dealt with it. He's leading by example, and showing how to break the cycle of negativity and improve one's self. We'll done sir!! (No sarcasm, I'm being sincere) love you dudes!!
This was the best thing ever Also many of her opinions are harsh but they’re praised by so many but then if someone criticises her, she’s just a 26 year old little girl who can’t be held responsible for what she says? Nah
@@Drew-The-Philosopher Exactly, just because your a women doesn’t mean you can’t be misogynist, that’s like saying Black people can’t be racist or women can’t be sexist. This identity politics is going way to far
I remember saying something about the grounds under one of her videos saying “Are you married? Do you have kids? What responsibilities do you have to really speak on it?” Aye they lit my ass up about her. 😂😂😂
i lovee that moment of preach saying he had to self-reflect. it's soooo hard to do that shit and the fact he can accept and bring that up so easily is just inspiring fr. i try to do that constantly and sometimes it stings because you just want to be mad and mull over things because it makes you feel better but you just gotta get tf over it. ik he was saying it in a more specific sense focused on men but i really resonated with that in general.
Always wild to see people come at Aba & Preach about nonsense like this considering they're two of the most level headed and self aware people in this space always trying to understand the bigger picture above all the base level drama so many get absorbed by.
they made videos on f and f over 15 times after their beefs but f and f never made no one video about them in a year people are coming at them because they see them for who they are they can mess with some people and get away with it now they being tested what happens when more people come at them like they come at red pill people now without all the banning what happens when they get called out and have videos on them he want to fight now its their turn to run from a fight or fight the person who wants to fight them and if they back down is people going to call them weak or just be a weak fan
Aba and Preach… you have me in stitches every time. I’m from the U.K. and this guy is an embarrassment, unfortunately people listen to him which makes him feel like he has something important to say, which evidently isn’t the case. You handled it like a boss! Peace ✌️
You know the corniest part of this? It's how the rest of the people in the room don't give a shit about what he's saying, and actually want him to stop talking. And the guy thinks he's defending all of them from a "troll" 😂😂😂
@@grownupcaillou2685 Being stoic and strong keeps you in your masculine frame and sometimes shows others nothing gets to you. You just deal with things in silence or handle situations the best way
"Just Pearly things back up dancer" is an instant classic and perfect description of this dude. Even the other women were looking at him like he was some crazy woman.
Pearl doesn’t make any sense, because her whole comment is she doesn’t want responsibility without repercussions. Her speaking on a podcast is responsibility and people commenting on the message she is spreading is repercussions. So therefore she shouldn’t have an issue with what they were saying. Side note: can’t believe is 26, definitely thought she was in her 30s 😅
I literally just found this channel a few weeks ago and I'm obsessed. You guys are hilarious, your middle of the road and common sense definitely makes this one of the top youtube podcast channels. I love how you take no shit from radicals on the left and right, morning routine now includes coffee and Aba N Preach! ❤
This was a reply but i want to post this here too. I'm 19 years old atm, pretty young for the audience of this channel but i really like to model myself after aba and preach. Their character is somthing i want to achieve for myself, especially how they handled the whole fresh and fit thing, it was very telling with who is more logical and relaxed and who is emotionally reactive. Hit me hard too because ive had to deal with a lot of anger, vengeance, depression and victimhood. Seeing how fresh and fit reacts especially when i was used to watch their vids. It showed me what is masculine and what isn't. I saw some my character and the way I behave in the way fresh and fit behaves and I did not like it. I knew that if I want to be the masculine man I've always wanted to be have to confront these behaviours. It's difficult and uncomfortable, I'm still dealing with this today but its helped me to learn a lot. It also showed me how to control my aggression. There is levels to this shit and if I'm over aggressive right of the bat how can I ever think logically? How can anyone take me seriously? Just watching their videos I've become a lot more balanced politically too. I've learnt to look at things more objectively and decide for myself rather than pick one side and agree with everything they say just because its my chosen side. I've learnt to do research and shut the fuck up if im not well versed on what im talking about. The way they handle disagreements sometimes looks like they hate eachother for 2 seconds but I realise it's actually not that deep, that's what a healthy disagreement is actually supposed to look like but I've never seen it in that way before. They're male role models for me and watching their vids has helped me learn a lot
That guy sounded remedial at best and insecure. Look at how much BM love to come to WW damsel in distress antics. She straight up made her way doing responds videos to your content. She’s a high key parasite on BM red pill content. Like always we’re super thirsty for any WW attention even when she’s looking us right in the face while she robs us blind. Smh. I swear large sections are easily predictable. rinse, wash, repeat every single time.
Yes! Odd how some of us Black men are still weak minded to White women. And i don’t know why, I grew up around White women, and they’re seriously overrated. Some are cool, but most are seriously overrated. I’m so happy I don’t lust after them, Black men seriously should get their mental checked. White people, farming on the Black struggle is nothing new, she’s doing the samething. White women, I swear.
