    OJ Simpson
    Alex, you did a great job debunking the Nipsey Hussle conspiracy theories and others as well but I can’t believe that you had this clown on. I believe about 10% of what this guys says. He’s tying everything together in a weird way and it doesn’t line up with the facts. And I’ve studied the OJ case for years.

    Fact check
    48.15 time marker: you say Quiet Village is in El Monte but it’s actually in NorthWest Whittier (south of El Monte).

    Alex Got a Question/Request
    Hey Alex I catch all the episodes from here to street tv even including some of your guest interviews on YouTube. Reggie and James have been dropping a few bombs on Steele and GCP lately and wanted to know if you could chime in with your thoughts? If you missed what Reggie and James said it is on the Bomb1st YouTube or the Still Bombing podcast. Peace brother continue the great work.

    Kevin Durant.
    Really enjoy the podcast. It gets better every week. But I want to point out. Can’t believe FG didn’t know Kevin Durant was part of the BIG 3 in OKC Thunder. It was KD, Westbrook and Harden. Harden left to The Rockets 1st because OKC didn’t want yo pay him. Also KD and Westbrook where drafted to The Seattle Super Sonics at first which later turned into Oklahoma Thunder. Anyways keep up the good work. 👍🏽👍🏽

    Love the show fellas. Been tappin in w Alex for years on StreetTv and FG has been a great addition but he says on Ep 49 the Eagles haven’t won in a long time but they won a chip back in 2017. I only remember because they had the crazy “riot” after they won. I thought the same thing as FG then it clicked so I’m not trynna clown the homie or anything just something I caught. Keep up the good work. Def a weekly listener

    Great show
    Great podcast salute!
  • Nina Browne
    Love it!
    I look forward to this podcast every week. The guys do a good job of balancing topics and checking each other on their politics. The title of the podcast is perfect as well. Every once in a while I wish some feminine energy can slide through on some of the topics, but they even handle those well. Thanks for contributing positively to our culture. ~ Nina

    The cops resigning
    From my understanding that lady has a bad track record with torpedoing cities. Most smaller towns don’t like the agenda liberals are pushing by promoting government dependence

    Great Podcast
    Peace Alex & FG I really enjoy the podcast look forward to it on Thursday keep up the good work. I have a 2 part question about gangs in LA the first question is related to mixed gangs are there Mexican and Blacks claiming the same gang or set. My 2nd question is related to certain symbolisms of gangs for example why do gangs call themselves “Rollin” 30’s 60’s etc I never understood that element of the culture. Thanks again fellas keep up the good work
