Yep, that's
0:07
the song.
0:09
That's the
0:13
intro. These are the girlies.
0:15
Welcome back.
0:24
To
0:30
another episode of the show. I, you know,
0:34
I'm
0:34
feeling
0:37
a little bit like Christ.
0:39
I'm feeling a little bit like, yeah,
0:41
a black Jonathan Van Ness. Yes,
0:44
that's what it's giving. That is what
0:46
is giving. Bundles, you
0:48
know.
0:50
Priyanka.
0:53
Drag race Priyanka? That
0:56
one and the
0:58
Jonas Brother one. Chopra. Yeah,
1:05
no, you look amazing. This is
1:08
incredible hair growing right out of your head.
1:11
What lace? Directly out of it. You
1:13
know, I felt like just going back to my natural color.
1:15
The
1:16
blonde was feeling a bit gauche.
1:19
So. Okay. So you dyed it. This
1:22
is more of my natural thing. I did. I
1:24
did flat iron it this morning. Okay.
1:27
I did straighten it a bit just because, you know,
1:30
all the. Yeah.
1:32
That gets a little much sometimes.
1:34
So here we are. Is there a reason
1:36
why your natural hair color is about five
1:38
shades lighter than your facial hair?
1:41
Um, science, biology. Okay.
1:44
You know, it's like a,
1:47
it's kind of like a world wonder. This
1:51
thing that happened. Um, doesn't
1:53
really, it's like a small percentage of the world. Yeah.
1:57
This happens too. But, um, I'm comfortable.
1:59
with it. I've learned to like really embrace
2:02
who I am, you know, my natural. Yeah,
2:04
of course. Genotypes
2:07
and phenotypes and biology. Feel
2:09
free to take a screenshot. Oh, okay.
2:11
Adorable. Love that for
2:14
you. Thanks.
2:14
Um, okay. Yeah. And I am
2:17
Robin Roberts, and this is the read. Thank
2:19
you all so much for coming back. It
2:21
is. It still is. Hello.
2:24
Well,
2:26
another week. We're
2:28
on the last week of October, I believe here.
2:30
That is so wild. Spooky
2:33
season. Um,
2:35
so basically we're going to belch and it's going to be
2:37
next year. And it's not only going to be next year, it's
2:39
going to be spring of next year. Keep
2:42
that in mind. Um, it
2:44
will still be a bit chilly, but
2:46
we will be halfway into a closer,
2:50
closer glance of the door.
2:52
Okay. Yeah. I love fast
2:54
forwarding. Right through. Yeah. Right
2:56
through winter. And oh, okay.
2:58
I thought you meant like the door to summer. You,
3:02
you were taking it somewhere. Oh
3:08
my God. No,
3:11
I'm kidding. Yeah. No, we're honestly going to like
3:14
blink and it's going to be time
3:16
to like put on something a little bit
3:18
lighter and the clouds are parting hopefully.
3:21
And then inside out somewhere
3:23
again, hopefully we'll have like
3:26
another
3:28
Megan anthem
3:30
or maybe somebody new will pop us and give us
3:32
like a great summer 24
3:35
song. Love
3:37
that we're just skipping right through the hell
3:39
that the winter is going to be. I
3:41
want to think about it. Do you? Well, I mean,
3:43
at least you have an LA winter. I have a New York
3:46
winter.
3:47
That's right. I don't want you to think about it either. You
3:53
felt thoughtful. I really appreciate it.
3:55
So how are you? Do you
3:57
have a check in?
4:00
Did you do one? You have to go first. I
4:03
mean,
4:04
I
4:04
feel like the exact whatever I said last
4:07
week, I'm probably feeling it again today. Yep,
4:09
school and... How's Tears
4:11
of the Kingdom going? Oh, God. Oh,
4:14
I've been playing so much more lately.
4:15
I decided to
4:17
go ahead and find all the Dragon Tears. That
4:19
was really smart. Gave
4:22
a lot of information to the story that had been
4:24
missing. And
4:26
then, you know, I just ran around and completed some
4:28
shrines.
4:29
But what's great, I think what's greatest about
4:31
it is my nephew is playing too.
4:34
And so he'll FaceTime
4:36
me and be like, Auntie, did you
4:38
find a ball? And I'm just like... Like
4:41
now I see why y'all have kids. Because he plays
4:43
Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. And
4:46
so when we play the same games, it's like, and
4:48
I'm better at it than his daddy. So
4:50
I get to be like,
4:53
oh, honestly, obviously, ain't
4:55
nobody she's doing right. So it's
4:57
just so... Yeah. So I love
4:59
it. Tears of the Kingdom is great. That
5:02
game, every time I think about how much
5:04
fucking work they put into that game, not just the sky,
5:07
not just the depths, but like actually
5:09
expanding the wells,
5:11
like even
5:13
being
5:13
able to go into the wells and the shit that
5:15
you do in there. And
5:18
it's just... I just,
5:20
I stand, I do. It's just such a
5:22
great game. And I actually just got
5:24
to Master Sword. I decided to quit fucking around and
5:26
go get
5:27
it.
5:29
But yeah, I'm having fun. I'm
5:31
having a good time in Hyrule. And
5:34
yeah, being a student, being a therapist.
5:36
Yeah. I'm playing Spider-Man 2 right now.
5:38
So Zelda is taking the backseat.
5:41
It's one of those games that like
5:43
can be the only game you play
5:46
period for months. Really?
5:49
It's so full. And I
5:52
just want to like
5:53
give it its own time. But then
5:56
it keeps throwing all of these titles at me that
5:58
I must play. So right
6:01
now I'm doing Spider-Man 2 because that just came
6:04
out. And it's great because you can play as Peter
6:06
Parker and Miles. I mean Peter Parker and Miles.
6:09
Peter Parker, Spider-Man and Miles. Oh,
6:12
I love that. So you can choose. You can change
6:14
them around. They both have stories.
6:16
It's a little like for
6:18
those of y'all at home also playing, which
6:20
I'm sure is many people. It's a little
6:23
like Saturday morning cartoon,
6:26
the moral of the story, Captain Planet,
6:29
kind of like it has these little vibes
6:31
in the story that are like, make
6:34
sure they put out your
6:37
fires in the forest. It's just like,
6:39
okay, girl, you know, I don't know how
6:41
it tastes at all. That is, um,
6:44
but I'm enjoying that. Now onto me.
6:47
I was very depressed yesterday. I
6:49
don't know why I'm still trying to figure
6:51
out
6:53
triggers or whatever.
6:55
But like,
6:57
you know, the journey of a clinically depressed
6:59
person, of like figuring
7:01
it all out because I was fine. And
7:03
then I wasn't fine. And
7:06
yesterday was one of those days that I just
7:08
wasn't. And my therapist had to
7:10
like get
7:13
me to be okay with the
7:15
possibility that I might be spending
7:18
that day sitting down and watching
7:20
anime. And that that's fine.
7:25
Um, so that was fine.
7:28
Uh, today, you know,
7:30
I woke up about an hour and a half ago.
7:32
I got me a Celsius and
7:35
we're going to see what this thing does today. Yeah.
7:38
You called me right on time, sounding fresh and awake.
7:40
I'm like, Oh, this is,
7:42
this is nice. But,
7:44
um, yeah,
7:47
I'm part of the process is like with
7:49
depression. Sometimes, you know, we make
7:51
it worse by beating ourselves up for being
7:53
depressed and holding ourselves
7:55
to non-depressed standards. And it's like, you
7:58
do just kind of have to. sometimes
8:00
be like, this is all that I got for today, and
8:02
that has to be good enough.
8:04
Yeah.
8:05
Yeah. True. So
8:07
good. Work in Prague. Proud of you, yeah.
8:09
All right, let's do some Black Excellence.
8:12
Yes, let's do that. We're gonna start with,
8:15
with Asia Wilson,
8:17
a job. Of
8:22
the Las Vegas Aces,
8:24
Madam Wilson was named the WNBA
8:27
MVP
8:29
of the finals, after 24.16
8:32
rebounds
8:35
in 39 home ends of play. She
8:38
apparently got two bottles of champagne,
8:42
brought to the post-game news conference,
8:45
who was joined by her entire team. Of
8:47
course.
8:48
And they, they celebrated.
8:51
As she said, this is a moment that we need to celebrate.
8:53
Not a lot of people get a chance to do it. And
8:55
for us to do it, short-handed is truly amazing.
8:58
It just makes us win that much better. I'm gonna
9:00
get choked up, because this shit wasn't easy. So
9:03
congratulations to her, to our team,
9:06
and really to women's
9:08
basketball, which is very much up at
9:10
the moment. It
9:11
is, yes, I love Asia.
9:13
Also, for a
9:16
Black owned bourbon and American whiskey
9:18
brand called Uncle Nearest,
9:20
she's become the largest Grand Champagny
9:24
vineyard.
9:26
Uh,
9:27
the largest Grand Champagny vineyard owner
9:30
in Cognac, France. Love
9:32
these pronunciations. Nothing wrong with them
9:35
at all. The founder
9:37
and CEO of Uncle Nearest is
9:39
Von Weber. The brand acquired
9:41
a 100 acre domain, St. Martin
9:44
estate in Cognac. This,
9:47
I'm intentionally mispronouncing that.
9:50
No, we know, we know, we know. I
9:52
dreamt, so please, I'm serious. I
9:56
can say all these words in my sleep. Yeah,
9:59
please, okay. This marks
10:01
the first time an American company has taken ownership
10:03
of a prominent cognac estate.
10:05
Historically, the sector has been
10:07
monopolized by a small group of large
10:10
companies that produce en masse. So the estate
10:12
is nearly 400 years old with 50 acres of vineyards. They
10:17
purchased it from a family that held the property for
10:19
four generations. So
10:22
Uncle Nerris, go get
10:24
your bugs on. I thought that was a really cool story.
10:27
Have you ever had
10:27
Uncle Nerris?
10:29
No, not before. It is so good. It
10:31
is so good.
10:32
Yes. Jay put me
10:34
on. It is so good. It's fantastic.
10:36
Yeah. Oh
10:38
no. Uncle Nerris is great. So yeah,
10:40
congrats to them.
10:41
And wow. Largest
10:45
grand?
10:46
I don't even know what that means. Grand vineyard? Maybe
10:49
that's just like... I mean, well, hell, 100 acres. Like,
10:52
goddamn. And 50 of those being
10:54
just vineyards. Like, yeah. So,
10:57
whew. Shout out to them.
10:59
Yay, black people. All right.
11:01
Let's do
11:03
the pop culture gossip
11:07
state of affairs that
11:09
we call hot tops, killers of
11:11
the flower moon.
11:14
Uh, where to begin? I
11:20
really don't know because I don't...
11:23
I just have to say I'm so proud of myself because
11:26
the girls really liked my Scream Poppers
11:28
prequel last week. They
11:30
did. They liked that a lot. Yeah.
11:33
Good for you.
11:34
I have
11:35
to take my wins where I can. Why
11:38
not? Why not?
11:41
So, Lupita
11:44
announced that she and
11:46
her now ex
11:48
have split.
11:52
She made
11:54
a statement about her breakup from
11:57
Selima Mas...
11:59
I'm gonna mispronounce his name. I honestly
12:02
didn't know Lupita had a man. Oh, really?
12:05
I really, I mean, I'm not shocked, but
12:07
I didn't know anything about this person.
12:09
I remember when she debuted him on Instagram. So
12:12
that's when, you know, I figured it
12:14
was real. And I follow her, so I don't. You
12:17
just be like, okay. I don't wanna pay attention. All right.
12:20
You saw a man in a tuned out. You
12:23
know, I follow her to look at her. And
12:26
that's what we're all there for, so I get it. I
12:28
feel like that's
12:30
most people. I also feel like you
12:32
had a read about this one.
12:35
About, oh, I
12:37
was talking to fine dykes.
12:39
I don't follow you to see your fucking wife. And
12:43
that was directed to one person in particular, but it goes
12:45
for all of you. All of you
12:48
fine dykes, about six or seven
12:50
of y'all that I follow. I don't follow you to see your fucking
12:52
girlfriend. You're gonna, hello.
12:56
Okay, and I'm gonna mute you until that's over. Cause
12:59
I don't follow you for that. It will be.
13:04
Oh, don't DM me, don't
13:07
DM me. So
13:10
there were implications made in her
13:13
statement. She said in some
13:15
part of your quote that we
13:17
should face our pain so we don't spread
13:20
it. Woo.
13:21
So it sounds like this motherfucker was
13:24
running her ragged
13:26
and running her nerves ragged specifically.
13:30
Yeah. So, you
13:32
know, she's on,
13:34
onto other
13:36
things. She has since
13:38
been spotted with Joshua Jackson
13:41
out somewhere. I can't remember where they
13:43
took her. Where they at a concert? I don't remember where
13:45
they were. I think so. I think I saw that. And
13:47
he just filed for divorce from his wife
13:50
too, didn't he? A few weeks ago. Yeah.
13:53
But I don't know if they were just
13:54
like happened to be there together. You know how sometimes
13:56
celebrities just be in the same spot or,
13:59
you know.
13:59
they were dating because she sounded heartbroken
14:02
in her Instagram caption. So I don't
14:05
really know. Yeah. When she said that, what did
14:07
she say? The love was devastatingly
14:10
extinguished by deception. I'm like, damn,
14:13
even ugly niggas cheat.
14:18
I mean, I just assumed
14:20
there was infidelity there and she found out,
14:22
but you know, some steps it could
14:24
be anything. Yeah. Deception could
14:28
be, I didn't even want
14:30
to say it, but deception could
14:32
be, you thought he was paying the rent all this
14:34
time
14:34
and really he was, you know, on Draft
14:36
King. So who knows? But
14:39
yeah, fucked up, fucked up,
14:41
man. All kinds of motherfuckers out here fumbling
14:44
bad. How do you fumble? He
14:46
took me young. Go.
14:48
She posted you multiple
14:50
times on Instagram. Like y'all was doing a TikTok
14:52
trans and everything. Nigga, how did you
14:54
fuck that up?
14:56
Now that you're saying all this, it's like I have
14:58
seen this person and somehow you didn't
15:01
ever look at his face. Oh, this
15:03
is her boyfriend. I,
15:05
cause I didn't care when I see
15:09
a picture or video with her in it. I'm focused
15:11
on her. I don't give a living fuck who she did. She doesn't
15:14
have to be sitting next to Angela Bassett or somebody for
15:16
me to be like, Oh, that person exactly.
15:19
I don't know. Maybe
15:21
that's my issue. No,
15:23
cause I mean, I don't know his face. Like
15:26
I, I don't think I could recognize
15:28
him. I just remember when, when she first
15:30
posted my, I remember thinking this is a very extra regular
15:33
looking nigga to be with Lupita Nyong'o. Like
15:36
there must be something about him. She really liked.
15:37
Yeah. Yeah.
15:40
I do recognize this person.
15:43
And I actually have been like, yeah,
15:46
now that I see his face, I'm like, Oh
15:48
yeah. I remember processing
15:50
him as her boyfriend at some point. And then
15:52
I stopped caring. Yeah. It's,
15:55
I mean, I just, I felt
15:57
for, I felt for it because fuck
16:00
that up.
16:02
Like
16:03
deception
16:05
my nigga. I can't like so this means
16:07
that means it was completely avoidable. It wasn't just oh
16:09
we decided we're incompatible and it's not gonna work
16:12
out. You literally fucked her over
16:14
like and that I don't understand. Why would
16:16
you do that? Oh he
16:18
a podcast nigga too. Oh no
16:20
don't say that. Please don't say that.
16:22
This
16:23
is his podcast. I thought he was a businessman
16:25
of some sort. Please don't tell me he's
16:27
on a oh god.
16:30
Oh no he was a guest on a podcast.
16:32
I'm just looking at again. I'm
16:35
looking at. For me to have a podcast. I'm really
16:37
I'm really averse to podcast
16:39
niggas.
16:40
I am.
16:42
I mean it's almost like saying black twitter.
16:45
You know you're not even you know talking about twitter
16:47
and you're not even talking about all
16:49
black people on twitter. Talking about specific.
16:51
Specific. Podcast niggas.
16:55
Yeah specific kind
16:57
of nigga that I am not. That's true.
16:59
So because I've noticed that like
17:01
sidebar a lot of people are like starting
17:03
to get discouraged from entering
17:06
the podcasting space because there's
17:08
so many now and it's
17:10
now starting to get like some
17:13
weird reputation based on
17:15
podcast niggas. Yeah and as someone
17:17
who's been doing this for 10 plus god damn
17:19
years and can't keep up with how many are
17:22
coming out. I would still say
17:24
if you got an idea go for it. You
17:26
should like you have something
17:29
to say or have like whatever.
17:31
Are you just want to do it for fun or just
17:33
get whatever the do it. You never
17:36
know what you have to offer.
17:38
You could support. We didn't we didn't do this
17:40
to be even
17:42
money. We did this to
17:44
have some. I did this specifically have something to do.
17:46
You had a job. Right. You
17:49
asked me to do it. I was like alright nigga like
17:52
sure but you know but also
17:54
we I
17:56
mean not to
17:58
brag but the facts are just the. the facts, like we changed the
18:01
game. So it makes sense
18:03
that people will
18:04
see what we were able to do or what
18:06
other giant shows have been able to do
18:08
and think, oh, you know, I want to do something
18:10
like that. Of course we didn't go into it for the money
18:12
because niggas wasn't making money podcasting it. And
18:14
so I just feel for y'all, cause
18:16
it seems like in order to keep people's attention,
18:18
y'all have to be on video
18:20
and that would get on my, that would actually keep me
18:22
from recording every week. If I had to make sure my hair
18:25
and makeup and
18:25
clothes and all lighting
18:28
and all that, like that's a million other steps when
18:30
all we have to do is cut on these zooms and FaceTime
18:32
each other. Like you're going to hate me.
18:35
You could literally record like this. No,
18:38
but not only shut your
18:40
mouth and you're going to shut it at the moment. Not
18:45
only would nobody have
18:47
anything to say, you would have
18:49
a litany. I'm talking about, I'm talking about
18:51
cross clothes. Crystal,
18:57
let's stop it. You
19:00
could honestly, rather than,
19:02
and this is no shade, rather than just
19:04
whatever that t-shirt, you could put on just like
19:07
a cute blouse or like
19:10
something, you know, like just a cute type
19:12
and literally have no draws on.
19:14
You could have nothing, you could be new
19:17
waist down at the moment also. And
19:19
the girls would be like, look at this fucking
19:22
hot educated bad bitch. That
19:25
is just me saying that. And then obviously
19:27
I have gorgeous hair. Right. So,
19:30
I'm just saying, but I also, yeah,
19:37
I agree to an extent that it feels
19:39
like there's a mold.
19:43
A lot of people
19:45
are connecting themselves
19:47
to in order to try and like stand out. Now,
19:50
I don't necessarily feel like that is,
19:53
is like needed
19:56
either, but it doesn't,
19:58
it helps.
20:01
But yeah, all that to say, I feel
20:04
like more there are people who are now
20:07
just saying crazy
20:09
things or making things up.
20:12
Oh yeah, absolutely. People are being outlandish
20:15
to try to go viral because that does get the
20:17
clicks, that does get
20:18
the views. That's everything. Right.
20:20
People will share it regardless,
20:22
which is why, I mean, we've been saying
20:24
it for years, but I'm always like, if you have
20:26
something you are really passionate about and you
20:28
really want to talk about it, then go do
20:30
your show.
20:31
I don't give a fuck if people say it's saturated
20:33
and we don't need no more podcasts, stop selling
20:36
mics to the black community like that. All that might
20:38
be true and still,
20:40
if there's something you want to talk about,
20:42
then put your voice out there. Why the hell
20:44
not?
20:45
There are a million TV shows that are coming
20:47
out every second of every day. It doesn't mean I want
20:50
people to stop making TV. Right. They're
20:53
not books. And they're not all going to be Abbott Elementary. They're not all going
20:55
to be Game of Thrones. They can't. Most
20:57
of them won't. It doesn't mean you won't
20:59
have a beloved cult classic.
21:01
Hello.
21:02
People can still love your show. You can be a small
21:05
beloved show
21:06
like Good Christian Bitches, which is
21:08
probably a bad example because it was on a major network.
21:10
But I'm still mad to this day. To
21:13
this day. I'm still
21:17
mad to this day and everybody
21:19
else who loves that show. It was so
21:22
good. It was so
21:24
good and so accurate. I knew it would be
21:26
canceled. South could not
21:28
handle it. They could not. They
21:31
were just like, and the fact that it was
21:33
funny. Yeah. Yeah.
21:36
And
21:36
dragging them. They said we actually
21:38
have to shut this. It was like that sorority
21:40
girls show on VH1 or something
21:42
where all them girls in black sororities went
21:45
and embarrassed themselves. I hope they were good with that. And
21:48
they were like, we
21:49
cannot have y'all.
21:51
Confish of.
21:52
Oh, okay. Anyway, sorry,
21:54
Lupita.
21:55
I hope your heart heals
21:57
soon.
21:59
Jay Z has entered
22:03
the chat as far as the long
22:05
debated 500K versus
22:07
the dinner argument. He
22:10
recently had an interview with Ms.
22:12
Gail King who brought
22:15
it up to him to get his
22:17
take
22:18
on it.
22:21
And Jay Z, I think
22:24
quite obviously, said, you
22:26
got to take the money. Done, niggas.
22:29
He said
22:32
the opposite would be a bad
22:34
deal. He wouldn't tell you to cut a bad deal.
22:37
There
22:40
you have it. That was
22:41
so kind. That was a nice way of saying,
22:44
if you're a dumb broke ass, don't take that fucking
22:46
money. Jay Z would take 500K over a
22:48
dinner with you and
22:50
he don't need it.
22:53
But then I was just trying to eat him up
22:55
like a couple of weeks ago when he was saying something
22:58
about family
23:00
members coming up to him and being like, all I need
23:02
is $4,800 and I can turn
23:04
it into a duh duh duh duh. And he was like,
23:06
first of all, I thought that clip was so funny because it
23:08
was like they were trying to turn that into, like
23:11
there were literally headlines that came out that were
23:13
like, Jay Z says he denied
23:16
his cousin $4,800. Very
23:18
clear he was using that as an example
23:21
and not saying that that specifically happened to him.
23:23
But then I think a lot of people also miss
23:26
the point that it's not a lack
23:28
of wanting to give people in your
23:30
life money.
23:32
More so like, I'm not just going to throw
23:34
money out at you that you're not going to do
23:37
anything with because you don't know how to do
23:39
anything with that money. You have no business plan.
23:41
This is just some half baked scheme that
23:44
your homeboy's homeboy came to you
23:46
with. And that's how a lot of people who come into
23:48
new money, athletes especially, you hear this story
23:50
a lot where they get put on all of a
23:52
sudden they have millions and all they homeboys got the
23:55
best idea for a business or an investment.
23:57
And then six years later, these niggas be flat.
24:00
broke and where did any of the money go?
24:03
Nobody knows. So I really
24:06
didn't even pay attention to that because I was like, y'all just
24:09
be looking
24:09
for shit to argue about. But um,
24:12
literally this title
24:14
tweeted like two or three years ago, take
24:16
the 500k. Like they, I forgot
24:20
about that. They did. They literally
24:22
said, I don't remember if they were like, listen, we
24:24
just texted him and he said, take the fucking money. Or
24:26
if they just fucking, you know, if they just tweeted
24:28
it out, right? Like,
24:30
just quoted somebody else's tweet and was somebody
24:33
probably was like, that'll be funny. I mean,
24:36
and it's,
24:37
I just felt like, why
24:39
are we even asking this question?
24:42
It's so fucking asinine, but I
24:44
mean, there are still niggas. There are still niggas
24:46
talking about I'm gonna take the dinner anyway.
24:48
Um, because just
24:51
being around Jay Z will help elevate
24:53
my life. Do you know what half a million dollars
24:56
can do to elevate your life? I
24:58
feel like y'all don't understand how much money that is.
25:03
That is so much money.
25:05
I
25:06
honestly received
25:08
this as one of those just
25:12
fun debates,
25:15
those like, why not social media
25:17
debate?
25:19
That essentially mean nothing. You
25:22
know, ultimately we can bicker
25:25
back and forth about it for fun, even though
25:27
there's clearly only one sensible side, but
25:29
we can be her back and forth about it
25:32
for fun. And it's not like
25:34
we're arguing about babies dying
25:36
in Gaza. So it's like the
25:38
opinions on either side kind
25:40
of don't matter. They're irrelevant. None of
25:42
us are about to have dinner with this man.
25:45
Um,
25:46
but my initial thought
25:48
of it was exactly what he said in this
25:50
interview, which is that Jay Z for
25:53
years, like the past 10 plus
25:56
years has in his
25:58
music been saying,
26:01
hey, niggas,
26:03
here are some directions.
26:08
Do this, don't do that.
26:10
Go here, stay away from here.
26:14
Let these habits go, game,
26:16
like he's done this over and over
26:18
and over again in music that
26:21
you can just stream for whatever your fucking
26:23
subscription is.
26:26
And most of you motherfuckers, when he does it,
26:30
I wanna be like, I wanna hold stacks in my ear
26:32
in Magic City and spend $500 at Waffle
26:34
House after. Leave
26:38
me alone, Jay-Z. So I don't.
26:40
Well,
26:41
I mean, do you
26:43
think he just got there out of thin
26:45
air? Like, I mean, do you wanna sell drugs
26:47
and risk going to prison like this man did? I
26:50
don't know if you actually wanna follow
26:51
in Jay-Z's footsteps, first of all,
26:54
but
26:55
I just,
26:57
we're talking about, I mean, I get what you mean about
27:00
like, it's a stupid social media argument. So of course people
27:02
are happy to engage
27:03
in it. But to me,
27:04
it's so frivolous. I
27:06
just feel like all of my Virgo is like,
27:08
I immediately am
27:10
annoyed that the question is even being asked
27:13
because it's so goddamn stupid.
27:15
$500,000 tax-free dollars or a 90 minute dinner
27:20
with somebody who's gonna ask
27:23
me how the salmon is.
27:25
What? If
27:29
you take $500,000 and properly invested and
27:33
like,
27:34
you know, allow it to work for you, you'll
27:36
probably end up at a dinner where this nigga is in
27:38
a few years anyway. Yeah,
27:39
or you could just take that $500,000 and
27:42
do regular nigga shit with it and
27:44
have an incredible life. Like you
27:46
could set yourself up for
27:47
retirement. You could put
27:50
it in a high yield savings account if you don't wanna
27:52
go risky with investments and shit like that. Like
27:55
you could buy a house in most places
27:57
in the country. Like that is not, you could.
27:59
It's just a fine.
27:59
Lindsey's last five questions.
28:02
I'm thinking. Keep in mind that has also been versions
28:05
of this that have gone like, would
28:07
you take $500 worth of food stamps or
28:10
a dinner with Bow Wow? Like these exist. Right,
28:13
and so those are rude. Those are rude. And
28:16
also you have to think about the, now
28:19
that is fun because that's more
28:21
equitable.
28:24
$500,000 to me,
28:26
I cannot think of
28:28
a single person alive.
28:31
Not even Beyonce. No,
28:33
no, not even Beyonce. Not
28:35
even Beyonce. I just don't understand.
28:38
Like, do you niggas not really grasp how much
28:40
money that is that you trade men for potential?
28:43
Come on. So
28:46
you mean I could have half a million dollars or
28:49
I could go to dinner
28:52
with an ingot who at best will
28:55
give me words of advice. And
28:58
then I leave the dinner
28:59
without half a million dollars. Like I
29:01
leave the dinner with just still the same money
29:03
I have.
29:03
Feeling happy, maybe
29:06
getting a selfie.
29:08
Full maybe.
29:09
You leave the dinner full, okay. And
29:11
the type of restaurant that super
29:14
wealthy people go to, bitch, God bless you, you
29:16
leave full. That never happens. Okay, cause
29:18
what? At Nobu, you're
29:21
gonna be eating them little small bites. You're
29:25
gonna be eating them little rock shrimp. Like.
29:29
Yeah, them real fancy restaurants where everything
29:31
is $200. I hate it. You're
29:33
not gonna be full, you're gonna be satisfied because
29:35
rich people don't
29:36
eat to get full. They eat just enough
29:39
to stay, you know,
29:41
like mobile throughout the day.
29:42
They're not eating like the rest of
29:44
us are. But anyway, anyway, it just
29:47
to me, something
29:49
that extreme has always seemed outrageous.
29:52
Whereas I would take $500 to get full.
29:56
I would take $500 in food stamps over meat and Bow
29:58
Wow.
30:00
I would do that. I mean, it's rude,
30:02
but and y'all shouldn't have. I don't know
30:05
that y'all should have got on camera asking
30:07
random people that because
30:09
it seems like unnecessarily mean. Yeah,
30:11
you would. And who wouldn't be like, that's mean
30:13
for no reason. Like, like what
30:16
am I in it? Even I read
30:18
that and was like, OK, now y'all are you
30:20
know, like, you didn't have to do that. You didn't
30:22
have to record it and publish it on.
30:24
Well, I
30:26
mean, and like it's rude,
30:29
but being real,
30:31
most of us would get dubbed
30:33
for the $500 in food stamps. Most
30:36
of us would.
30:37
So you laugh in that little bit. Oh, well, but
30:40
your mama would take $500 in food
30:42
stamps over having dinner with you.
30:43
If it were $500 for
30:45
the food stamps versus like
30:48
brunch with Kif Urie and everyone
30:51
picked this food stamps,
30:53
my feelings are going to be heard.
30:56
I would fully expect all of y'all to pick the food
30:58
stamps. I would I
31:00
would call you a dummy. If you came
31:02
anywhere, I would be like, oh, so you're rich. So
31:05
you ain't got no problems. Everything
31:08
going great. You said what recession?
31:12
Crazy to your girl. But
31:14
yeah, hopefully this really does end
31:16
the debate once and for all, because to me, it is asinine.
31:19
I may want. Have you seen the Lil
31:21
Wayne wax figure?
31:24
Right after I saw the
31:26
not what is that biracial
31:29
man's name? Right after I saw the one
31:31
the rock one
31:32
where they made him look Caucasian.
31:36
He legit looked white and said,
31:38
y'all need to go ask him. He
31:40
said, y'all need to add a little color to that, because
31:43
that don't look like me. But yes,
31:45
I did see the Lil Wayne wax figure. Do
31:52
you think that the
31:55
people perhaps who sculpted
31:58
this?
31:59
Um,
32:02
also feel away about the Trump
32:04
thing.
32:06
Um,
32:09
because they went out of their way to make it hideous.
32:12
And I mean, no shade is Wayne.
32:14
So it's not like you have your
32:16
heart. Okay. Well,
32:19
um,
32:22
I said before Wayne went out of his
32:24
way to look the way that he does. You
32:26
know what I mean? Because naturally
32:28
he is a handsome person. That's
32:30
true. Yeah, I agree. I agree. He did
32:33
all that. Um, he
32:35
just like stopped taking care
32:37
of his drugs. They had a whole
32:39
bunch of tattoos and strong hair, his face,
32:42
drugs. You know what I mean? Um,
32:44
anyways, but this
32:47
figure is literally like
32:49
someone was like, what is we, what
32:54
is the Carter
32:56
was amazed at Halloween horror
32:58
nights.
33:00
It's like something
33:03
that, okay. The fellowship
33:05
of the ring would fight,
33:08
you know, it's something
33:11
that like
33:12
would probably be hiding
33:15
in the corridors of Hogwarts
33:17
at night. Okay. That shit was offensive.
33:20
Like, and I'm
33:22
not offended for him because
33:25
I feel like, you know, as I said, the
33:27
Trump thing happened and that you
33:29
just put out this music, this, this fucking,
33:32
uh, mix tape or whatever that I couldn't even enjoy
33:34
it because barely halfway in it, you had a
33:36
hook that was like, Donald Trump. It's
33:38
like, you can even let me forget for
33:40
a second. So, you
33:42
know, I think this is hilarious for
33:44
that reason. And
33:47
because it's hilarious to look at it.
33:49
It honestly looks like the Goomba
33:51
is in the live action Mario movies
33:53
from the nineties. It is hideous.
33:55
I mean, y'all going to be mad
33:57
at me, but I don't think it's that bad.
34:00
It looks more like him than the rock
34:02
statue looks like his wax figure looks
34:04
like his the rocks was I
34:07
Thought was egregious,
34:09
but this you look at this and you
34:11
know, that's Lil Wayne. He looked like a contestant
34:13
Oh, who she daddy's but
34:15
But that's a lot of dikes look like that. So
34:18
I mean I you
34:20
think
34:21
That this rock wax
34:24
figure
34:25
Looks less like the rock
34:28
Then the Wayne one now, no, no not
34:30
in the face in the in the
34:32
like the Cacacity of it
34:34
like the face of the rock one is dead
34:37
on the face of the Lil Wayne when it's not like
34:40
exact but
34:42
It's not that bad. Like you look at that
34:44
and you know exactly who that's supposed to be like
34:47
it
34:48
I'm sorry. I'm sorry that it looked like
34:50
that nigga to me The way
34:52
the if I was walking through a max
34:55
museum and I passed this rock statue
34:57
I'd be like, oh They made
35:00
the rock white. Yes wonder why
35:02
if I was
35:04
Walking past the little Wayne
35:07
one. I would have been like, oh they
35:09
collaborated with token and
35:11
George are In
35:15
order to create this one maybe
35:18
a territory armor like
35:20
this What is this? But
35:23
again, I love it because you know,
35:26
yeah, well, I mean
35:29
I'm sorry. It I see it. I
35:31
do it's a little too light skin. No, I love
35:33
that you see it I love that you see it
35:35
because that is shady
35:39
It looked like that nigga to me, I'm so
35:41
sorry
35:44
TGT is getting back together. I don't who
35:48
tank genuine Tyrese
35:52
And they couldn't be a group because them niggas couldn't go along
35:55
I go to TGT and Target Corporation
36:00
specific. I love
36:04
that.
36:06
Leaving it at that. Nini
36:10
and Bethany are apparently working on a limited
36:12
series podcast. I should have mentioned that when we were
36:14
doing the podcast thing, it would have been a perfect segue.
36:17
Bethany. Is that
36:19
the name? No,
36:25
that's the name of it.
36:26
Okay, I'm sorry. I love it. I thought you came
36:28
up with it, but Bethany is incredible.
36:31
That's pretty great. That
36:33
is a great name. I mean, it's like right
36:35
there. Yeah.
36:37
So it's, it's like, I
36:39
love it. It makes sense. And it will be easy to find.
36:42
Right. Bethany is pretty great. Uh,
36:45
instead of trying to call it the reading room
36:47
or whatever. Remember when she, remember
36:50
when she tried to start that show called, what
36:53
was it called? Like the Reed hallway or something?
36:55
I don't even know. It was just the reading. It was
36:58
something where it was like,
37:02
didn't Alex have to send her people something like
37:05
don't, don't play with it. Did
37:09
she, I thought one of the white people sent her, sent
37:11
her people something, but
37:13
no, I think, I
37:15
think they said they would if we wanted
37:17
them to. Oh, I definitely didn't give
37:20
a shit. Well, I mean, you see, it didn't go nowhere. So it's
37:22
not like it mattered, but I
37:24
remember seeing that promo video, like what
37:26
exactly do you think?
37:29
Anyway, Bethany sounds
37:31
like a
37:31
much better idea. Yeah. Um,
37:36
good luck to them for that. I saw a video
37:38
this morning
37:39
that Nini posted on her YouTube, uh,
37:42
two days ago. That was like a tribute to Greg.
37:45
It was like 15 minutes and
37:47
it was like a voiceover
37:50
of her just talking about the last couple's days,
37:52
weeks of his life. Um,
37:55
and it had like clips of him in there
37:57
and some stuff. People have seen stuff. People haven't seen. And
38:00
it was really emotional and she cried
38:03
at the end and talked about how she misses him
38:05
and she doesn't want to have another love
38:08
and all that other
38:10
stuff. And it was really, really very
38:12
sad.
38:14
So,
38:16
you know, and I remember a lot of people,
38:18
maybe even me,
38:19
kind of judging
38:22
the way that she
38:24
was
38:27
behaving
38:28
during that time.
38:30
And even after his
38:32
passing, a lot of people felt like she was just,
38:34
she was out a lot taking
38:36
pictures. She, you know, people felt
38:38
like
38:39
some people were feeling like she didn't seem
38:42
sad enough for whatever.
38:47
And I mean,
38:49
the
38:50
same may be me, but I just feel like
38:52
my thing has always been people grieve
38:54
in all kinds of ways. They do.
38:57
And you really don't know what to expect
39:00
when people are dealing with something like
39:02
that, especially when
39:06
it's like cancer and
39:08
just like unfair fuckery.
39:10
Like that. Yeah. It's
39:13
a weird place to be in. So that
39:15
was, I don't even remember how that came across my radar,
39:17
but it was like very humanizing
39:22
and emotional.
39:24
And yeah. So what
39:28
was just a harder answer to
39:30
this new podcast? It actually sounds like it
39:32
says limited series. I don't know what that means. Like
39:34
I guess they're, you know, planning on just
39:36
doing like a few episodes, letting
39:38
in that be that. I wouldn't
39:41
be surprised if it really works
39:43
out for them because I mean, Bethany has literally
39:45
been a talk show host. Oh yeah.
39:48
I'm
39:52
just thinking of when Omarosa was like, you get to be a mediocre
39:54
white woman and you have a talk show. So I
39:56
mean, that's the only reason. She
40:00
chewed that right up. I don't.
40:03
The only thing that comes to mind when I think about
40:05
Bethany's show is that she chewed
40:07
that right up. Amorasa went into that
40:10
ladies space and ate her. I
40:12
ate her. Ate her alive. Alive.
40:14
Yes, she did. And spit her back out and
40:16
then left. Jesus, that was gross. Anyway.
40:23
That could be cute for them. So God bless you. Are you
40:25
watching the New Housewives of New York or did
40:27
you watch it? It's the season is over now. Oh
40:30
my God. Asante had me watching the reunion and
40:32
now I think I'm gonna go back and watch the season. It's
40:35
all new women, isn't it? Yeah, it is. And
40:38
the only one I was aware of is like the Daik, Jenna,
40:42
Jenna, I know, right. But,
40:45
but that, that reunion was
40:48
kind
40:51
of
40:51
a mess. I'm going to watch the next one next
40:53
week and then I'm gonna decide
40:53
if I'm gonna go back and watch the whole season. But it,
40:56
they interest me. They did. They did. They
40:58
got me girl. So,
41:00
but, but yeah, good for Bethany
41:02
and Nini. This sounds honestly like a perfect
41:04
idea, especially a limited period.
41:06
Yeah.
41:07
Put out like five episodes or whatever.
41:09
Talk your shit, have fun and,
41:12
and move on or do it again, another season,
41:15
whatever. Bring in another Housewife. Like
41:17
this could easily be a thing. For
41:20
all the shit that we have,
41:23
I think appropriately given the, um,
41:26
yeah, it was appropriate. It's just
41:28
not like, I
41:31
get the Bravo disconnect.
41:34
I super get it
41:35
from her perspective.
41:37
Um, but she has just done too
41:40
much in the realm of being
41:42
an entertainment personality to
41:45
not have like a thriving
41:47
platform to herself. And
41:50
I'm sure that it's just a matter of figuring
41:52
out what that is and where it goes
41:55
or whatever she could end up having
41:57
another show on the Netflix or a Hulu
42:00
or whoever the fuck or some shit like that.
42:03
Um, I think that she definitely deserves
42:06
that
42:07
because, you
42:08
know, as I said, as many times as that lady
42:10
has gotten him, I got deaf nerves mostly on her,
42:13
her on housewives. Yeah. She's
42:15
funny. She's naturally entertaining.
42:19
Um, she became the star of Housewives
42:21
of Atlanta for a reason,
42:23
but she also made helped
42:25
make gravel what it is today. Yep.
42:28
Sure did. Literally. Yeah. So,
42:30
and this was on a cast of huge personalities.
42:33
Nini was somehow the huge. Yes. Yeah.
42:37
And I liked her on that. What was that white sitcom
42:39
she was on that got canceled after that first season?
42:41
The new normal. Yeah.
42:43
I think that's what it was called. I liked her on that. I
42:45
felt like this was exactly Nini's.
42:46
That's another thing. She's
42:49
not, she was not a bad performer. Yeah.
42:51
Granted that character
42:53
was, it didn't feel like it was too challenging.
42:57
She was, it was just like the sassy black person. Yeah.
43:01
But before that she was also
43:03
on Glee.
43:05
She was,
43:06
she was on Glee as
43:09
what's that gay lady's name? Sue Sylvester.
43:12
I mean, Oh,
43:14
the actor. Oh, I don't know. I forgot her
43:16
real name, but yeah, she was Sue cause
43:18
she wasn't gay, but
43:20
Oh right. Jane Lynch,
43:23
Jane Lynch is gay. Sue wasn't,
43:25
uh, which I thought was interesting. And oh God. I
43:29
wish I could just go back and watch Glee, but it's just
43:32
an Amber. Yeah. I
43:36
listen. It's Sue Sylvester was
43:38
the show for me as the writing,
43:41
the performing performance by Jane
43:43
Lynch was spectacular.
43:45
There hasn't been anything on TV like
43:47
her since.
43:48
I mean, and she, I remember
43:51
watching that and being like, this person should be fired. There's
43:53
no reason this person should be allowed to work with
43:55
children. She literally physically abused the students.
43:58
Like this is the way.
43:59
But it was like an extreme.
44:03
Yeah, that was like the light world. Yeah,
44:05
that so ugly existed. Yeah,
44:07
Jay Lynch killed that character. She did.
44:10
Yeah, I got. But yeah, Nene
44:13
was like her black
44:16
nemesis and that character was
44:18
not very Nene. She was supposed to be like,
44:21
you know, a very
44:23
what is the definition of staunch?
44:25
Well, there's
44:26
I was about to say staunch, but I don't know if that's right.
44:29
You mean physically because staunch is usually
44:32
used to describe like
44:34
your feelings about a particular issue. Like
44:36
if you're very staunch about a particular
44:37
issue, then that means you feel very strongly about
44:40
it and you're very firm in your position. But
44:42
about, yeah, gymnastics. I think
44:44
that's swimming. She was a swim coach. OK,
44:47
OK.
44:48
She was very strict and all
44:51
about sports and all about the athletes.
44:55
So she was accurate. I
44:57
don't know, whatever. But that character was
44:59
very specific, like being
45:01
a hardened,
45:04
almost militaristic swim
45:06
coach. And I thought that she
45:08
did a great job. And that was like her first
45:10
big acting thing or whatever. And then,
45:12
yeah, she did the other shows she was really good at. And
45:15
I kind of expected to see her do
45:18
more movies and stuff or acting
45:20
since then, which obviously still can. But there ain't
45:22
even nothing but a B in music videos since then. I
45:25
mean, I don't I have
45:27
no idea like where her career
45:29
is going
45:30
in what direction she's going in these days.
45:33
But this project sounds like a great idea
45:35
and right up her alley. So are you going to see
45:37
Dicks the musical?
45:40
Is that a movie?
45:42
Yeah, Megan's
45:43
in it. Oh, that was gonna say,
45:44
why have I heard of that? Yes, I am. Yes,
45:48
I am. And it truly looks
45:50
awful. Is Nini in it?
45:53
No. Oh, OK. I thought you were saying that because Nini
45:56
had a job.
45:57
No, for some reason, it just made me feel
45:59
like I'm not.
45:59
me start thinking of.
46:01
Well, I don't care if it's bad. I do not
46:03
care if it's bad. I love, I
46:07
love Megan Thee Stallion and I will go watch
46:09
it. Oh wait, Megan Mulally is in
46:11
it. Nick Offerman, Nathan Lane, Bo and Yank.
46:13
This is a great cat. Yeah, no, it's a great
46:16
cat. I see card. Oh, I'm going to see this.
46:19
Let me know how it is. Let me see what it's giving
46:21
on. Oh yeah, Eddie. Oh
46:24
yeah, I'm going. Yeah, it's kind
46:26
of 58 on Metacritic. Yeah,
46:28
this was six out of 10 on IMDB.
46:31
Oh, but the Rotten Tomatoes
46:33
is not that bad. A 70. Oh, Megan
46:36
Mulally is in it. Yeah, that's what
46:38
I just said.
46:40
Oh, see cult movie in the making. That
46:42
sounds like my cup of tea. I'm
46:44
telling you, I like this cast.
46:45
I'm going to go see this.
46:48
You know what? I might get licked. I'll see about myself
46:50
too. I'm going to show you. Oh my God.
46:52
You know what's so wild is after I talked about
46:54
Michael Shannon last week, people started tagging
46:56
me and all these stories of Michael Shannon being like a
46:58
really decent human being. And
47:00
yeah, I've always heard great things about him.
47:02
I had
47:02
no idea he signed this letter in
47:05
support of Palestine and it's
47:08
like really was always like
47:10
very fervently anti Trump talking about Trump supporters
47:12
need to die and all this.
47:13
I'm like, I had
47:15
no idea. You know, Mike, my friend Mike,
47:17
of course, they
47:19
did a, he was in a movie with him.
47:21
I think it was called wolves. What?
47:24
Yeah. Okay. I'm thinking of a different Mike.
47:27
Wait,
47:28
I'm thinking, I'm thinking Mike who did your
47:30
documentary. Yes. He
47:32
was in a, what? Oh
47:35
my God.
47:37
He was in Joker too.
47:39
What? Yeah.
47:44
He was in a movie called wolves with
47:46
Michael Shannon. He
47:48
was also in the movie Joker and
47:50
the camera. How
47:53
did I not like when they're having the riot
47:55
and they're having the riot
47:57
outside for, for Joker. Oh my God.
47:59
right here in the credits. That's crazy.
48:03
And you know, the guy who gets, he's like on
48:05
the news, reporting and
48:07
what's his name is watching it, what's his character's
48:09
watching it. And then he, Mike
48:12
comes in with a joker makeup and he's like,
48:14
fuck the waves, fuck the, fuck
48:18
that and then I like he goes. Wow.
48:20
I mean, I've never seen that movie, but
48:22
wow. Now I gotta watch it just to be like, I
48:25
did not know that part. I thought he was just, you know, a
48:34
director and filmmaker and I had no idea.
48:36
He was a decent nigga and he doesn't go around
48:38
gloating. He takes his craft seriously.
48:41
I have always liked Mike. That's a good boy.
48:46
I feel like, you know, I don't know. I just
48:48
feel like an older sister to him. I
48:50
just feel like that's my little baby. Okay.
48:55
Anyway, I don't think I have anything else
48:57
here. Oh, wait. That's fine.
49:00
DJ
49:03
and V girl. Oh God. Okay.
49:06
Go ahead.
49:09
Do you want, we don't have to. I mean, I, I don't
49:11
give
49:11
a, I don't give one fuck about DJ. It
49:17
is wild to see all the videos
49:20
come out where he was blatantly talking
49:22
about it. Cause I don't watch breakfast club.
49:24
So I had no idea that
49:26
he had been selling this home ownership
49:30
fake like I had no idea he had
49:32
been
49:33
selling it and selling it so hard. I have heard
49:35
about it in passing a lot. Cause I
49:37
don't, I don't frequent the show
49:39
either. I don't, you know, but I know that I
49:41
had just heard in passing people
49:43
on Twitter or whatever talking about and be
49:47
in this real estate venture that he's
49:49
been on, but
49:51
doing it from this perspective of like philanthropy,
49:54
which confused me and many other people. Right.
49:56
Cause that is, that is, there's
49:59
really no such thing. You're nobody
50:01
goes into real estate to then be
50:04
generous and and provide fair
50:06
housing. I don't know. I think
50:09
people go into real estate to become landlords.
50:12
I don't know to make money off of rent.
50:15
Nobody's like, let me take a loss
50:17
by purchasing this building and
50:20
getting it up to code and then not
50:22
make any of that money
50:23
back by by renting
50:25
to people below market rate. Nobody does
50:28
that. That's charity.
50:31
It does not. So
50:35
a nigger privately selling
50:37
some shit is absolutely in it for
50:39
the money. And I mean, I
50:41
saw online that like
50:44
allegedly his wife went back and
50:46
deleted a bunch of Instagram pictures
50:48
with like the lavish gifts and
50:50
purses and all that. And
50:54
allegedly, I heart and them are
50:56
going back into leading certain episodes.
50:58
Or certain videos where
51:01
envy promoted this shit talked about. I
51:03
don't I can't say for sure whether that is true,
51:05
but I can say if y'all are doing that it's already
51:07
too late
51:09
because the feds are
51:11
here. Yeah, the
51:13
feds are here, which means they have their case. Because
51:15
coming from you
51:19
going back, his wife going back and deleting
51:21
some Instagram. This is like, girl, do you think
51:23
the feds haven't
51:25
already seen your Instagram? Furthermore,
51:29
where's
51:30
the feds? Do
51:34
you think that we cannot contact
51:36
that platform and get all this? Go back.
51:38
You think we can get it back? Oh, did you think when
51:41
you deleted something off of somebody else's platform,
51:43
it was really gone
51:44
forever?
51:45
Did you? Oh, I'll pour that.
51:48
I hate that for you. Right. So
51:51
I mean, I the idea
51:53
he said I did see this
51:55
clip where he was like, my lawyers don't want me to talk
51:57
about this. And Charlamagne was like, then don't talk about
51:59
it like. Yeah, no, he said,
52:01
my lawyers want me to talk about this, but I feel like
52:03
I really need to clear some things up. Charlamagne
52:06
was like, I feel like you need to really look at
52:08
me. He said, why do like-skinned
52:10
niggas always want to talk? Charlamagne said,
52:12
yeah. He did. And
52:15
my whole thing was, you know, my goofy ass is
52:17
always trying to give people a benefit of these
52:19
types of things, especially when it's like
52:21
you're a person with a certain level of
52:23
visibility and like things to lose. I'm
52:26
like, you couldn't seriously
52:29
be intentionally out here scamming people out
52:31
of their money. But you're also not dumb.
52:33
It's especially what, you know, like
52:36
DJ Envy is bright, but I don't think
52:38
DJ Envy is bright. I don't think he's literally
52:41
bright. Like, oh, God, but I don't
52:43
think he's bright, you know, right. Not
52:45
up here. Um, but like
52:48
when you're saying that people, including
52:50
personal friends of yours and then just onlookers
52:52
have been like,
52:53
hmm, this is some small, right? Yeah.
52:56
And you do it anyway. It's giving like for me,
52:58
my only, my only
53:00
like logical understanding for personally
53:03
would be you probably figured
53:07
I'm going it when she hits
53:09
the fan, I'm just going to make
53:11
sure that I position myself in a way that I can
53:13
do the plausible deniability thing
53:16
or whatever. Like his attorney is already trying to be
53:18
like, oh, well, he invested money that he
53:20
didn't get back to. He's also a victim
53:23
of such and such and such. And
53:25
how did we, how did we
53:27
get here? Then what then? Right.
53:30
And furthermore, the nigga that they arrested
53:32
his business partner or whatever. Have you seen
53:35
him? Yeah. Somebody
53:37
who wanted to guess on the breakfast club. I don't remember
53:39
who it was called in big pun and
53:41
I was like, that is so fucked up. Talking
53:46
about, damn, I thought pun was gone. That's
53:48
fucked up. But pun was
53:51
actually cute. Anyway, it's
53:53
not even just what he likes.
53:59
If I said I wouldn't let that man borrow
54:02
my phone to call He
54:06
looked like Yeah,
54:10
and he posted a picture of 50 cent
54:12
on his Instagram talking about every negative is a positive
54:15
the bad things I make I'm good. That
54:17
means you can't do anything to hurt me. How how
54:19
are you not a scammer? Okay,
54:21
have y'all met them? This
54:25
person might as well have a neck tattoo that
54:27
says I steal But
54:31
anyway, this is hilarious It is
54:33
and the fact that so many people went on the breakfast
54:35
club and asked him about it to his face And he could
54:38
not make it make sense that clip of yamanika
54:40
being like that
54:41
was You
54:55
You know, I'm trying to teach you how to not get got
54:57
I But
54:59
I gotta get got by you first for that
55:01
like bitch that part Set me
55:03
and everybody sitting in there laughing. I'm saying like
55:05
girl Right
55:09
You and your team just had an escape plan for when
55:11
shit
55:11
hit the fan and I really don't know if that
55:13
was a good If it's a good one. It's not looking
55:16
great. It's not looking For
55:18
Joe button to tell you nigga, this
55:20
is a Ponzi scheme and you're gonna go to jail
55:23
for Joe button to have better
55:25
sense than you
55:29
Things are love ever happens happen things
55:32
are bleak. This is gloom and despair.
55:34
Oh Man
55:37
I just don't I don't have no respect for
55:40
niggas who
55:41
Take the money the last
55:44
of other niggas Especially like I
55:46
don't have no respect for this shit period but when you
55:49
take it from your own community and like
55:51
and then the goal is to then fuck over
55:53
the Community
55:54
like the goal is to go to Patterson and
55:56
spend money on these houses and then
55:58
drive up the rent for people who can already
56:00
barely afford shit as it is. Like
56:03
the entire idea was predatory
56:06
and horrible. And you just,
56:09
the fact that he was warned repeatedly,
56:13
there are so many video clips of
56:15
people being like, yeah, you still scamming
56:17
on them houses in church. I'm like,
56:20
what?
56:22
It was a matter of time before the feds
56:24
caught up to him. So whatever happened
56:27
happened. I will be sitting here buying you my business. Yeah,
56:29
that's none of my business. That is
56:31
none of my concern.
56:35
What a fucking mess. I feel for the people who
56:37
fell for it.
56:39
I feel for them. I don't feel for him. I
56:41
mean,
56:43
the people that you're specifically
56:45
talking about, the folks in the community
56:48
who for whatever reason felt like probably
56:50
because of DJ and DJ specifically.
56:53
And his status
56:56
or whatever, because they don't know who the fuck that other nigga is. But
56:58
they know that DJ Envy is a rich motherfucker
57:01
who like every Christmas post photos
57:03
with his wife in first, sitting
57:06
on top of a ghost.
57:08
You know what I'm saying? On top
57:10
of whatever. So for those
57:14
people, that is unfortunate.
57:16
A lot of these lawsuits are investors, people
57:18
who are rich, who are just like,
57:20
oh, well, I gave this nigga my money and
57:22
I ran it back. So for those
57:24
people, I'm like, no, I'm
57:27
talking about
57:27
the people who got together,
57:30
all of a life savings or
57:32
something. Really thinking that this
57:34
was a legit opportunity to take their
57:36
money and grow it
57:38
and have something. Like you can't blame people
57:39
who don't have nothing for wanting to be comfortable,
57:42
having a comfortable life. And for
57:44
Envy to have promoted
57:45
it again so many times
57:48
on that radio show, so
57:50
many times, all over Instagram, promoting
57:53
it, promoting this man, promoting seminars,
57:55
going out and showing y'all how he's illegally
57:57
converting these homes into multi... family
58:01
apartment so that he can raise the rent and
58:03
get $7,800 a month off of one house. Like
58:07
you did it so, I,
58:09
I
58:14
just don't have it. I don't even have well wishes
58:16
for you. Like if you get caught up
58:18
on this, so be it. Cause this is disgusting.
58:20
Like, yeah, I mean, literally, like I
58:22
said, your goal was to fuck over niggas.
58:25
So
58:27
yeah. And
58:30
you know, nice alley for Dz. Yeah.
58:34
That was the cute segment on the daily
58:36
show last night with Dz covering
58:37
it. And I
58:39
had to, I did have to remind the girls cause I've
58:41
been seeing it a lot since the MV news came out.
58:44
But I had to remind them that like,
58:45
Dz and Meryl made it very clear.
58:48
They're not getting back together and it's time
58:50
for everybody.
58:52
The girls are still, and not just talking
58:54
about it, but I'm tagging these niggas
58:57
all day long. I see
58:59
it on my own timeline of
59:01
people
59:01
tagging the both of them and being like, please
59:04
motherfucker, please. Like I'm begging, like we
59:06
need it for the culture for the blah, blah, blah. And
59:09
it's like y'all have got to accept you don't.
59:11
Like I get it cause it would be incredible.
59:14
It would be like a full circle moment. It would be
59:16
great. I would love to see it too, but y'all
59:18
have to accept the reality of the situation,
59:20
which is that it is over.
59:22
It is over.
59:25
And you getting on they damn nerves. That's
59:27
when it's reignited. I mean, I'm sure
59:30
they have muted y'all months ago,
59:32
but
59:34
just yikes, yikes. But
59:36
you know, just goes to show really the impact that they
59:38
had on people. Like the bodega
59:40
boys, niggas really love that shit and they
59:42
are devastated
59:43
about it being over still. But
59:46
yeah, it was dope
59:48
to see Dz was to be in a position to be guest
59:50
host in the
59:50
Daily Show when
59:52
some shit like this happened after,
59:54
yeah. And we decided to be a bitch.
59:57
I don't know. I wake up the day after Christmas and then
59:59
realizing. you're in a Groundhog Day hot
1:00:02
style loop. And so you get to have
1:00:04
another present. Right?
1:00:06
Just
1:00:09
for you. Yeah, a blessing. So.
1:00:12
I'm done. Move on. Okay.
1:00:17
We're back.
1:00:19
It's time for
1:00:21
whatever you be talking about. Yes,
1:00:23
it is. Send your letters to ask3d at
1:00:25
gmail.com. We may read them aloud
1:00:27
on the show. There's one really quick
1:00:29
one here for you. Cause they said, Crystal, I know
1:00:31
you won't touch scary games with a 10 foot pole,
1:00:34
which is true. And also, I don't know
1:00:36
if I
1:00:36
ever cussed you out in person for
1:00:39
trying to
1:00:39
get me to play whatever wicked game that was
1:00:41
that you was posting them clips of on Twitter
1:00:43
a couple of weeks ago, but you, you really have.
1:00:45
I was not seriously encouraging you to play
1:00:47
that game. No,
1:00:47
but for you to even tag me in something that's
1:00:49
scary, why would you do that?
1:00:52
Because it's funny. It was scary. So anyway,
1:00:55
Kif Uri, being that you are
1:00:57
a big fan of scary season and trippy
1:00:59
weird games, have you played any of
1:01:01
the Alan Wake games?
1:01:03
If so, are you going to get the new Alan Wake 2? I'd
1:01:05
love to know your thoughts on the overall
1:01:06
story.
1:01:08
Yes, I have played Alan Wake.
1:01:11
Alan Wake is,
1:01:14
oh God, I'm going to do a nerd thing.
1:01:16
I'm going to make it quick.
1:01:18
Okay. Alan Wake
1:01:20
is a game developed
1:01:22
by a company called Remedy Entertainment.
1:01:24
They worked on Max Payne, which was very,
1:01:27
very popular, especially among young niggas
1:01:29
in the PS2 era. Alan
1:01:31
Wake is more of a like supernatural
1:01:35
thriller about, very Stephen
1:01:37
King inspired, about this white man who's
1:01:40
like a writer, goes to this
1:01:42
cabin in this weird town
1:01:45
with his wife, and then like
1:01:48
starts finding pages from a book that
1:01:50
he wrote that he doesn't remember writing.
1:01:52
And then there's shadow people
1:01:55
that attack you that you have to fight
1:01:58
with a flashlight and a gun.
1:02:00
The thing about Remedy's games
1:02:02
I really like is that they're very narrative
1:02:05
driven.
1:02:06
Even that game has like,
1:02:09
Alan Wake has
1:02:12
him while you're playing, there's like a
1:02:14
voiceover of Alan
1:02:17
talking as if he's reading a book. So
1:02:19
the whole time it's almost like he's talking
1:02:21
about what's happening like, I needed to get
1:02:23
to the gas station as quickly as possible
1:02:25
because that is it. So it's like really
1:02:28
narrative and fun if you're into stories
1:02:31
in video games, which is my
1:02:34
number one. But
1:02:37
also it is spooky, right? So if
1:02:39
you're into that, there's that one. The second
1:02:42
one now that's coming out soon is supposed
1:02:45
to be more horror
1:02:46
like.
1:02:50
Because
1:02:51
the first Alan Wake is spooky, but it's not
1:02:54
really, I wouldn't call it a horror game. Like
1:02:57
this one feels like more horror. I
1:02:59
am probably going to play it because they
1:03:02
are two protagonists in this game
1:03:04
and one of them is a black
1:03:06
woman. So black
1:03:08
woman who I think is like an FBI agent
1:03:11
who's trying to
1:03:12
solve the mystery of what happened in the
1:03:14
last, in the first Alan Wake
1:03:16
game. As far as the story, it's
1:03:18
cool. It's interesting. I love like
1:03:21
spooky supernatural horror.
1:03:25
And it also ties really
1:03:27
nicely into Remini's
1:03:30
last game, Control,
1:03:33
which is more like controls
1:03:36
kind of like the X-Files. He plays
1:03:40
the woman who goes looking for her
1:03:42
missing brother in this big,
1:03:45
like, brutalist style building
1:03:47
in New York City. And then she gets two powers
1:03:50
and has to like start fighting these mutants
1:03:52
or whatever. But they're all tied in
1:03:54
together. Control was my favorite game of that year.
1:03:57
It's tied into Alan Wake. It's all fun. This
1:03:59
game is going to have a black jig. get it. I'm going
1:04:01
to be all spooky and scared here in my bed
1:04:03
with Link. I can't wait. Yeah,
1:04:06
that's it.
1:04:07
Okay.
1:04:10
That was, I
1:04:12
feel... I love games, if
1:04:14
you couldn't tell. Yeah.
1:04:17
And I understood everything you said and I completely
1:04:19
stayed
1:04:20
abreast while you were talking. I've
1:04:22
always wanted to do another podcast that
1:04:24
was video game based. Who
1:04:28
else plays games the way you do?
1:04:30
I don't know anybody personally. Really?
1:04:32
I was
1:04:33
going
1:04:36
to say, call me when you... And he's up with the news.
1:04:39
Yeah, no, call me when you do a Breath of the Wild episode.
1:04:41
But otherwise... Oh yeah, for sure.
1:04:44
Otherwise, yeah, I don't know. I
1:04:47
have video game content ideas for the both
1:04:49
of us. Maybe we could do it for Patreon.
1:04:51
Oh yeah, that would be fun. We still have to do a Mario Kart.
1:04:54
Oh, the way I'm going to beat
1:04:56
your ass
1:04:57
in Mario Kart don't make no sense. I
1:04:59
don't doubt that. Welcome,
1:05:07
Mario Party. The new Super Mario game
1:05:09
is co-op. So
1:05:12
we could play Super Mario, Brothers, Wanda, and together.
1:05:14
That sounds cozy. Okay.
1:05:16
And then maybe sometimes we could play spooky games
1:05:18
where I play the game and you just watch.
1:05:20
Oh, okay. Well, all right. Maybe
1:05:23
you can close your eyes if you feel... And I probably will. Because
1:05:26
the game I showed you on Twitter is not that
1:05:28
scary. Well, you could
1:05:30
have fooled me because them videos was quite
1:05:32
creepy. Yeah, they're creepy.
1:05:35
They're creepy. I don't like to feel
1:05:36
like a dad either. But they're games that like a kid could
1:05:38
play. No. That's fair. That's fine. That's
1:05:40
fair. And the stuff I showed you, No Lie,
1:05:43
is the scariest shit in Little Nightmare. So you've
1:05:45
already seen the worst of it.
1:05:46
Wow.
1:05:48
You really was trying to set
1:05:50
me up, but okay. I
1:05:52
know you wouldn't play it. You
1:05:55
didn't write about that. You didn't know that.
1:05:58
Let's move on to this.
1:05:59
question from Lavender who says,
1:06:02
Dear Furiyan Crystal, I was listening to
1:06:04
your most recent episode where you discussed Kishan's fucked
1:06:06
up thoughts on raising children. I'm
1:06:09
a mama to a beautiful and amazing 10 year old daughter who
1:06:11
has expressed feelings of possibly being bisexual,
1:06:14
though at age 10 she doesn't quite understand the word
1:06:16
sexual, just that it means she likes
1:06:18
boys and girls.
1:06:20
I've always expressed my unconditional
1:06:21
love and support for her for being who
1:06:23
she is, whatever
1:06:26
that may mean for her. Her super
1:06:28
religious father and stepmother however have
1:06:30
not been supportive.
1:06:31
My daughter happened to mention being bi
1:06:34
on one of her weekends there and it caused a major
1:06:36
uproar with the stepmom and dad getting
1:06:39
upset with me for being
1:06:40
open and truthful with my daughter.
1:06:43
I'm getting mad. Yeah.
1:06:45
After I let them know that I have no plans of
1:06:47
making her feel bad about who she is, they decided
1:06:50
to instead just humiliate her whenever
1:06:52
she goes to their house. They have told
1:06:54
others in their family for them to also condemn
1:06:56
my daughter to the point where
1:07:00
she is embarrassed and won't speak anymore
1:07:02
about it.
1:07:03
I'm so sad and angry at
1:07:05
them for making her feel like now she can't be
1:07:07
her vivacious, honest self
1:07:09
for fear of judgment.
1:07:10
Do you have any advice for me on how I can make my
1:07:13
daughter feel the support from me and ignore the things
1:07:15
her dad and stepmom say or any
1:07:17
advice on what to do or say about the intolerance
1:07:19
at their house? Any advice is appreciated.
1:07:22
Thank you lavender.
1:07:26
Lavender first of all,
1:07:29
that wasn't a good one. Hold on.
1:07:32
There you go. There we go.
1:07:34
Um,
1:07:38
all right. Let me just because
1:07:41
my blood pressure. Yeah.
1:07:43
Woo. 10 year old. All
1:07:45
right. We're talking about a 10 year old man. We was talking
1:07:48
about a child. Yep. Hallelujah.
1:07:51
Oh, all right. Um,
1:07:56
we're talking about, I like, Oh, my
1:07:58
heart rate is actually increasing. We're
1:08:00
talking about cartoons. We're
1:08:02
talking about, I possibly
1:08:05
still like toys, but I'm going
1:08:07
to keep it a secret now because,
1:08:10
you know, some of my friends are probably
1:08:12
asking like, they don't like toys still
1:08:14
or dolls. And we're talking
1:08:16
about like, innocence,
1:08:19
but also the age of
1:08:21
a big discovery
1:08:24
age, where it's like a
1:08:26
lot of your emotions that you've
1:08:29
had, your whole existence,
1:08:32
start to like have
1:08:37
more depth, more nuance.
1:08:40
You start to have more questions about them. They
1:08:42
start to have more meaning.
1:08:46
And
1:08:47
it's so unfortunate that
1:08:49
a lot of parents, hetero,
1:08:52
or otherwise for that matter, when
1:08:55
they have kids or people, young
1:08:57
people that they're guarding, they don't
1:09:00
consider how
1:09:01
they developed as young
1:09:03
people.
1:09:06
Like when you had a crush
1:09:08
on somebody in third grade,
1:09:10
fourth grade, fifth
1:09:12
grade, it didn't mean like,
1:09:15
Ooh, I've got to start an OnlyFans. It
1:09:18
meant nothing. Right. It
1:09:20
meant nothing. And it may be I want to have
1:09:22
lunch with that person when it's lunchtime
1:09:25
and maybe I'm going to push them into
1:09:28
the fucking, the, what is that?
1:09:30
The mulch on the playground. Well, hopefully
1:09:32
not that. And make them scratch their knee. You know,
1:09:34
we'll let kids be like,
1:09:36
do kids still, yes, kids still bully kids that
1:09:38
they like. It's like, that's the...
1:09:41
Yeah. I'm just hoping that
1:09:43
we get out
1:09:43
of that, but it is... Yeah, no, obviously. Yeah.
1:09:45
I feel like mine was more like, I want
1:09:47
to sit next to you on the bus or like, I want
1:09:50
to sit next to you in class. Like,
1:09:52
I just want to be near you. Like it's something
1:09:54
about that. Yeah.
1:09:54
Like, I just want to be close
1:09:56
to you and, you know, maybe talk to you about what
1:09:58
we go and watch, Power Rangers or whatever. whenever when we get home
1:10:00
from school. Like, I, it was one of that. And
1:10:03
I wanted you to like, you know, like
1:10:05
being friends with me. Yeah. Yeah.
1:10:07
I wanted you to see me and be like, Oh, let me sit
1:10:09
next to you. Like I want, yeah,
1:10:12
that. My earliest crush
1:10:15
I remember was fourth grade.
1:10:18
I can even remember his
1:10:21
name, but it wasn't like
1:10:23
for me, it was just like,
1:10:28
I just want you to like me. Not
1:10:30
like, like, I just want you to think that I'm
1:10:33
cool. Like I want you to want to hang out with
1:10:35
me. The way that I want to like sit
1:10:37
next to you or like play
1:10:40
with you during recess or whatever.
1:10:42
I want you to have this same sort of like
1:10:45
vibe with me. Yeah. But
1:10:47
it wasn't like, I want to kiss.
1:10:50
Yeah. Or I want to touch body
1:10:52
parts. It was just like, I like this boy.
1:10:54
You know what I mean? Have fully
1:10:58
developed ideas of what
1:11:00
that means because that is how being a child
1:11:03
often works. Right. Yeah.
1:11:04
I remember I mostly had
1:11:06
crush his own boys, but there was this one girl
1:11:09
where
1:11:10
I look at it in hindsight and
1:11:12
I'm like, I didn't have
1:11:14
the words for it then, but
1:11:16
I
1:11:17
just remember like watching her put
1:11:19
on her lip gloss and thinking
1:11:21
like, I want to
1:11:23
be next to you. Like I want almost
1:11:26
like I want to be a lip gloss, honestly,
1:11:28
but I at least want to
1:11:30
share that lip gloss with you. Like it's something
1:11:33
about you that like I am
1:11:35
like feeling very much like this whole. It
1:11:38
is so innocent. It is though. It's not,
1:11:40
y'all act like people. I
1:11:42
mean, and
1:11:44
the fact that it's like
1:11:45
her father and stepmother
1:11:48
and they're super religious and so they
1:11:50
don't care about any of
1:11:52
like the.
1:11:52
I'm getting to that. Yeah. They
1:11:54
don't care about any of the things here that are logical
1:11:56
or make sense or about child development. Like.
1:11:59
they see this thing that they disapprove
1:12:02
of, and now they are going to turn it into
1:12:04
disapproving of this child as
1:12:06
a person.
1:12:07
I just bring up that
1:12:09
everything because I'm like, people
1:12:12
still subscribe
1:12:14
to this idea that when you're of a certain
1:12:17
age, you're not old enough to
1:12:20
decide such and such,
1:12:23
as if it's like,
1:12:25
A, a decision. Right. And
1:12:28
be impossible for you to know
1:12:31
who
1:12:33
you find attractive at 10
1:12:35
years old. So
1:12:38
that to me is ridiculous how y'all
1:12:42
will still jump through hoops to make this
1:12:44
the kid's fault, when
1:12:46
the fault is in your refusal
1:12:49
to accept that this is the thing that happens
1:12:52
and that there's nothing wrong with it, and that your child
1:12:54
will be more than fine. In
1:12:57
spite of this mutant
1:12:59
gene that we got. You know
1:13:01
what I mean? I wish we can, Gay came up
1:13:03
with a- Okay, I wish we were the
1:13:06
X-Men. I wish they
1:13:08
be the way we wouldn't have no
1:13:10
more problems.
1:13:11
Now,
1:13:15
that's it.
1:13:17
Two things.
1:13:18
A,
1:13:21
stepmom, let me explain something
1:13:23
to you. Let me talk to you, I'm gonna talk
1:13:25
to you real quick.
1:13:27
This is me speaking as you. What
1:13:29
was the name?
1:13:30
Lavender.
1:13:31
Lavender, one of my favorite colors
1:13:33
by the way. Purple period is like my face,
1:13:36
but I'm really into it. Anyways, stepmom,
1:13:40
let me tell you something. This is my baby
1:13:42
that came from my body that is mine.
1:13:48
Okay, I don't give A living,
1:13:51
breathing fuck that
1:13:54
you are married to her daddy. I
1:13:56
don't give A, some.
1:13:59
liquid or a gas
1:14:02
shit.
1:14:03
What kind of dynamic you
1:14:05
motherfuckers are trying to have in that home?
1:14:08
Okay, that
1:14:10
is my child that they
1:14:13
removed from my uterus
1:14:15
that I care read for a whole
1:14:18
goddamn year. Almost.
1:14:19
I
1:14:23
mean it's pretty much a year. It's about
1:14:25
10 months.
1:14:29
You have zero
1:14:31
place. I'm talking about zero
1:14:34
place opening thine mouth
1:14:37
to say anything
1:14:39
about who my child is.
1:14:42
If this girl come into your house where you
1:14:44
pay bills and is drawing on the
1:14:46
walls or breaking your fine
1:14:48
china or pissing in your sink,
1:14:51
you may pipe up.
1:14:52
When it comes to who she is,
1:14:56
what she looks
1:15:02
like, how she you don't have anything
1:15:04
to say. That's me. That's all me
1:15:07
bitch. So you
1:15:09
need to
1:15:12
keep my child's identity,
1:15:15
her name
1:15:18
out of your mouth
1:15:20
because if you don't,
1:15:23
I'm going to swell it for
1:15:25
you. Are you following?
1:15:28
Keep my child's name out your mouth
1:15:31
or I will swell it shut.
1:15:33
Work will.
1:15:37
That's that.
1:15:38
Now,
1:15:40
as far as how y'all feel
1:15:43
about my child being bisexual,
1:15:46
feel free to keep
1:15:48
those feelings to yourself. I
1:15:50
encourage journaling. I encourage
1:15:53
therapy. I super
1:15:55
encourage reading about these
1:15:57
things. Lots of books, lots of websites
1:16:01
for parenting advice when
1:16:03
it comes to Ligabigatigakids.
1:16:07
What you will not do is create an environment
1:16:10
that is violent, that is
1:16:14
unaccepting, that is bigoted,
1:16:16
that my child has to stay in.
1:16:19
Because what I will then do is I will go
1:16:21
down to the white people courthouse and
1:16:23
I will discuss with them custodial
1:16:27
rights when it comes to my
1:16:29
child because
1:16:29
I'm pretty sure no kids,
1:16:32
me personally,
1:16:33
no family lawyer or whatever the fuck. I'm
1:16:41
pretty sure if I speak to the Lofo
1:16:43
until then that every time my
1:16:46
motherfucking child goes to your house with you
1:16:48
and your bitch wife, that
1:16:51
they feel some type of
1:16:53
way about themselves, they don't feel safe,
1:16:56
that they are being accosted,
1:16:58
that they're being verbally abused. I
1:17:00
honestly feel like that my
1:17:02
child just won't be over there anymore.
1:17:05
So
1:17:07
what do we want to do? Because
1:17:09
the long and the short of the situation
1:17:12
is that this is who my
1:17:14
daughter is. It's
1:17:16
not going to change whether you try and bully it out
1:17:18
of her or not. And
1:17:21
this identity can also fluctuate
1:17:23
in another 10 years. You
1:17:26
know what I'm saying? It could be, oh, I'm gay.
1:17:28
In another 10 years, it could be,
1:17:31
oh, I'm straight. In another 10
1:17:33
years, it could be, oh, I'm
1:17:36
actually trans. Like, it could be
1:17:38
anything. It could be anything.
1:17:41
So what you need to be doing is
1:17:43
preparing yourself
1:17:46
and accepting the fact
1:17:48
that you are going to live as a parent
1:17:51
with a queer child. It is very
1:17:53
possible. This is where
1:17:56
we're at.
1:17:57
You know what I mean?
1:17:58
The best thing that you can do?
1:17:59
is not be the streets
1:18:02
because the streets are already going to make
1:18:04
that hard
1:18:07
for your child. I'm talking
1:18:09
to you now dad because obviously we've already
1:18:11
addressed the fact that now it's not my child's mama.
1:18:13
Right.
1:18:16
So what do you want to do? Do you want to
1:18:19
start talking about
1:18:21
visitation or lack thereof?
1:18:24
Do you want to let do we need to go to the court
1:18:26
because you're not gonna bully my child?
1:18:28
Not for being bisexual, not for any motherfucking
1:18:30
reason.
1:18:31
So
1:18:33
yeah what's it giving? Yeah. I
1:18:36
said what I said.
1:18:42
What
1:18:45
the hell was that?
1:18:50
Where did you get a shade button?
1:18:54
Where did you get that? Of
1:18:56
course. I was hoping it was licensed.
1:19:01
Not the shade
1:19:03
sound from the fucking drag
1:19:05
race. So yeah
1:19:07
I was actually gonna bring up that same thing. First of
1:19:09
all I would not force my child to go over there anymore
1:19:12
at all. If she don't want to go then she
1:19:14
simply won't and if y'all have like
1:19:18
a child support or custody agreement
1:19:20
then I mean I guess it really depends on where you live.
1:19:23
Like I guess some states, some cities, they probably
1:19:25
go they might be on the daddy side which is disgusting
1:19:27
and scary to think about but regardless
1:19:31
I'm not forcing my child to go over
1:19:33
there and I think if
1:19:36
it is outside your control lavender whether
1:19:38
she goes over there outside of both of y'all because it sounds
1:19:41
like she don't want to be around these niggas either. I think
1:19:43
the most important thing you can do is show
1:19:46
your child that you are advocating
1:19:48
for her.
1:19:49
Don't do it behind her back. Do
1:19:51
it to her face.
1:19:53
Show her. Stand up to
1:19:56
her daddy and her stepmama. Say
1:19:58
y'all are some ignorant niggas.
1:19:59
And the way you are treating this child is fucking
1:20:02
disgusting. Not only is she your child,
1:20:04
sir, or in your care, ma'am,
1:20:07
but like,
1:20:08
this is a human 10 year
1:20:11
old person that you are talking about,
1:20:13
and you are deliberately
1:20:16
humiliating her and gang,
1:20:18
which are big grown asses are
1:20:20
deliberately trying to make a 10 year old feel
1:20:22
bad and recruiting other niggas in
1:20:25
the family to come make her feel bad.
1:20:28
Like,
1:20:30
y'all don't see nothing wrong with this. This, this feels
1:20:32
okay to you. This seems like
1:20:34
normal, rational, healthy
1:20:36
adult human behavior to you.
1:20:39
That
1:20:40
also on childish and ignorant. Like,
1:20:43
sir, you're 42
1:20:46
beating up on a 10 year old for what? Like
1:20:48
I just, the
1:20:51
ways that y'all are like dedicated
1:20:53
to not doing
1:20:56
what's best for your baby really blow my mind
1:20:58
sometimes. It's like
1:21:00
being a good parent does not have to
1:21:02
be
1:21:02
as hard as y'all make it out to be, it
1:21:04
really doesn't like your children
1:21:06
want to love you. They want to be close with you.
1:21:08
They want to have an open relationship with you. Y'all
1:21:10
are the ones who get in the way.
1:21:12
You and your bullshit.
1:21:14
And so if I were you lavender that
1:21:17
I would be making sure my child knows that
1:21:19
mama is vocally, loudly,
1:21:22
all the time on team baby.
1:21:26
Here. Yeah. I want to assume that you're doing that
1:21:28
regardless. Well,
1:21:29
I mean, well, cause she asked
1:21:31
for advice on like how
1:21:32
to make the daughter feel supported or advice
1:21:34
on what to do or say, and I feel like you covered that
1:21:37
quite well. I
1:21:39
feel like you really covered that like
1:21:42
thoroughly. So as, but as far
1:21:44
as I think you also just suggested like
1:21:47
doing that in her present and the daughter's
1:21:48
right. Yeah. I mean, cause that, I think
1:21:50
that's what's going to help with her feeling supported,
1:21:54
um, and helping with, uh, her
1:21:56
discounting the things that her dad and stepmom
1:21:58
have to say, like.
1:22:00
yeah
1:22:00
when she sees you advocate for
1:22:02
her not just or her but in front of
1:22:04
other and adults to these people's faces
1:22:07
with our president like you
1:22:09
are not going to treat much how this way and
1:22:11
think that i'm okay with a period
1:22:14
and i just would i be seen as are all that are they will
1:22:16
have to some gave me i'm not making
1:22:18
her go over there to be humiliated in
1:22:20
embarrassed by her own fucking father
1:22:23
year from do you know that
1:22:26
does to a child sense of self esteem since
1:22:28
the south like is exactly what we talked
1:22:30
about last week lucas ah you fuck beast is
1:22:32
up you disconnect them from
1:22:34
their true selves
1:22:36
is the worse is one of the worst things you can
1:22:38
to salute child
1:22:41
job to kind of like want your kids
1:22:43
to be you and thing where you
1:22:45
think and agree with would you agree
1:22:47
with them like the things that you like a man
1:22:50
is nonsense new literal like
1:22:52
made his ah home
1:22:54
and is hard i don't know why
1:22:57
so many of y'all think that bears
1:22:59
these like super malleable
1:23:02
robot pod people
1:23:04
things that you'd just poke
1:23:06
and prod acts and turn
1:23:09
them into what you want them to these
1:23:11
are you do is really just traumatized them
1:23:13
yet
1:23:14
you fuck him up real real beds you
1:23:16
cinema us
1:23:18
over here in the field of mental health counseling
1:23:20
if they're fortunate enough to make it there
1:23:22
are too but them up
1:23:24
real bad and they turn for other ways
1:23:26
of coping that you also don't disapprove
1:23:28
with they look for love and acceptance in the fucking
1:23:31
street so they're not getting it from home
1:23:33
and they end up in worse situations
1:23:37
because of zone
1:23:39
please do better bodies kids
1:23:42
and of you in a position where your child at appear is
1:23:44
a shit hit like this you have to let her baby
1:23:46
know they have to be completely
1:23:48
certain about how you feel
1:23:50
turns out there with infuriated on that it
1:23:53
would nobody say they have to know
1:23:55
that they have to feel like they have
1:23:57
one say spirit
1:23:59
near
1:24:00
If the other one is intent on being a dickhead,
1:24:02
so Because
1:24:04
a lot of us don't have either
1:24:06
like even one. Yep can make a
1:24:10
world of all
1:24:13
Fucking difference. It makes
1:24:15
all of the difference like of course the
1:24:17
other parents lack their deficiency
1:24:19
is still going to
1:24:20
hurt
1:24:21
Yeah But it is a different
1:24:23
impact
1:24:23
on the child when they do have a place they
1:24:25
can go where their feelings and thoughts and
1:24:28
true Themselves are safe and it's
1:24:30
too many kids who don't have that
1:24:32
in either parent in either caregiver And
1:24:35
they're just alone emotionally and it's
1:24:38
just so
1:24:39
Heartbreaking to think about y'all doing this
1:24:41
to these kids when it is completely unavoidable
1:24:43
and the reason you are doing it is nothing But ignorance
1:24:47
you letting ignorance keep you from connecting
1:24:49
with your own fucking offspring
1:24:51
That is tragic
1:24:53
Yeah, again, I wish that like
1:24:56
my sexuality are accepting my
1:24:58
sexuality came with like I
1:25:01
Don't know some nuclear
1:25:03
powers when I turn 18 are like when I First
1:25:07
time that would be fun And
1:25:09
it wouldn't make all of the homophobe and
1:25:12
make more sense. Yeah, but
1:25:14
just like oh gay Don't do that
1:25:16
hell like no one I don't why
1:25:18
are we leave me alone?
1:25:20
gay people queer people have always been
1:25:22
around they will always be around you will
1:25:24
not be able to Ignor
1:25:27
us it be ignorant so ignorant
1:25:29
that we are now just
1:25:31
wiped out of existence It will not happen.
1:25:33
So like it's never gonna
1:25:35
do
1:25:35
you want to be a good parent or not?
1:25:39
That's really what it boils down to it is
1:25:42
so yeah, I agree with with crystal
1:25:44
I think the
1:25:45
Besides is right in the stepmom because I
1:25:47
mean somebody has to girl. I'll
1:25:50

I'm actually
1:26:07
Half a second away from just beating yo ass
1:26:10

1:26:12
But I don't know you a bitch off the street
1:26:14
talking to my child crazy This
1:26:17
is like, I don't know what you think is going on here.
1:26:19
I will fuck you up Like

1:26:37
about my daughter to her face
1:26:40

1:26:42
need to hear your voice as far as I'm concerned again.
1:26:44
I will fix it for you. You will
1:26:46

1:26:48
Can make that happen right but
1:26:51

1:27:53
That's what I want you to do or when you go drop

1:27:56
Say that all that the he just said say
1:27:58

this whistle Yeah, and mommy will
1:28:21
be here. Mm-hmm with brass
1:28:24
knuckles on
1:28:26
and Vaseline on the face. That's
1:28:28
right, you know I
1:28:31
hate the thought of it
1:28:32
It's a really a shame that some
1:28:34
people have to prepare their 10 year olds like that
1:28:36
to go into emotional battle
1:28:38
with the child other parent and have
1:28:41
like no control legally to
1:28:42
stop that from happening like
1:28:43
that is just I Would be
1:28:45
highly tempted to say fuck that custody
1:28:47
order. Fuck you Take
1:28:50
my baby and run disappear into the fucking
1:28:53
ether. That's that would be high. I'm not
1:28:55
even if the parent, you know Riley about You
1:28:57
know Come
1:29:02
get her. Oh, right. Oh my oh, okay Let's
1:29:06
wrap up the letters right there again If you have a question
1:29:08
for us send it to ask the Rita gmail.com.
1:29:10
Good luck lavender. And yeah, let's take a quick
1:29:12
break
1:29:16
We're back
1:29:17
it's time for the read the final portion of
1:29:19
the show I don't really remember what mine is
1:29:21
so Okay,
1:29:23
what an n-word I am going to
1:29:25
pass my read this week
1:29:29
To
1:29:31
Brian God
1:29:36
bless Brian He
1:29:38
wrote into us about something that's been pissing
1:29:40
him off lately
1:29:42
So actually let's just
1:29:43
dive right into it Brian
1:29:46
says hi Chris Lynn fury. I
1:29:48
wanted to write in regarding these out the worst
1:29:52
Hi, Chris Lynn West My
1:29:55
Amy has no idea about that by the way,
1:29:57
like she has no idea She
1:30:00
probably don't even remember saying it and if
1:30:02
I brought it up, she would be like, well, what is it called? Yeah,
1:30:05
it's not great, right?
1:30:10
That's what you'd be like it's called the read that's what I
1:30:12
did No,
1:30:16
okay anyway
1:30:18
Brian said I wanted to write in regarding these
1:30:20
outlandish ass pranks Scenarios
1:30:23
and the internet's reaction that somehow always
1:30:25
spins into a redundant ash gender
1:30:26
war discourse
1:30:28
First off are there no longer?
1:30:30
Improv classes everywhere
1:30:32
that these motherfuckers so desperately need
1:30:35
Girl don't start me the
1:30:38
actors always abysmal and the internet
1:30:40
eats that shit up every single time I'm
1:30:43
generally a skeptic, but I don't understand how
1:30:45
the general public does not see this shit Oh
1:30:47
does not see this
1:30:48
shit the recent cheesecake factory
1:30:51
date of an actress
1:30:53
that is known for doing this shit was so obvious Yet
1:30:55
it definitely brought about the tired-ass Expectations
1:30:58
of a date and why men or
1:30:59
women are trash
1:31:01
is the outlandish ass plot not enough
1:31:03
for people to see that this is all made up from
1:31:06
the father only bringing his child McDonald's
1:31:08
among a litter of children from his child's mother
1:31:10
to classrooms of 50 year olds with
1:31:12
a ridiculous plot when will people
1:31:14
catch a grip on reality? I'd
1:31:17
like to think I'm not so jaded to believe that everything
1:31:19
is fake But so much of social media
1:31:21
is manufactured and people just feed into
1:31:24
it I truly avoid every story
1:31:26
time because people make up scenarios and stitch
1:31:28
them to someone else that shared
1:31:29
their original experience
1:31:31
Did you really have a similar experience or
1:31:33
did you hit the right room for some views to rile up
1:31:36
some gullible
1:31:36
bystanders?
1:31:38
The internet is truly making people dumber and dumber
1:31:41
and I blame social media and the need for
1:31:43
attention Critical
1:31:45
critical thinking skills are lost
1:31:47
and we are headed further into doom
1:31:49
with this generation of iPad kids The
1:31:51
couples pages that are popular when less than 1%
1:31:54
of the content is even original and
1:31:56
aside from y'all annoying ass is not having a personality
1:31:59
outside your relationship you provide this
1:32:01
falsehood that people strive for as relationship
1:32:03
goals. Y'all are physically assaulting innocent
1:32:06
bystanders in the grocery store for pranks and
1:32:08
views, and the shit is so tired. I long
1:32:11
for the day a motherfucker tries
1:32:12
to prank my mama or grandmother on our routine
1:32:14
grocery runs, during which we bond.
1:32:16
How can you not consider the age and health of somebody
1:32:18
that you don't even know? They love to target
1:32:21
older black women because they usually provide the most
1:32:23
genuine animated response, but you have
1:32:25
no idea the outcome that these inconveniences
1:32:27
could result in, and I hope y'all get the worst
1:32:29
retribution. All in all, I just want everybody
1:32:32
to leave strangers alone and go find you a classroom.
1:32:35
The world is dumb enough, and you bitches are adding to the detriment. Instead
1:32:38
of making this shitty world a worse place, how about
1:32:40
we try uplifting each other? There is
1:32:42
so much space for positive content without videoing
1:32:45
people at their worst and how you helped
1:32:47
out by providing them with a McChicken and a small fry.
1:32:50
I beg for the day that people can deduce what is not
1:32:52
reality versus content, which is what
1:32:54
everybody else seems to be about, regardless
1:32:56
of the expense of the subject. Stop filming
1:32:59
strangers and these stupid ass situations. In the
1:33:01
words of my Auntie T.S. Madison, get a job, bitch.
1:33:05
Own a business. Suck a dick. I do. Suck
1:33:07
a dick.
1:33:08
Thanks, Brian.
1:33:12
All right, Brian. I feel you.
1:33:18
For me, it's not even
1:33:20
necessarily that other people
1:33:22
are believing it, although that
1:33:24
is irritating,
1:33:25
but it's
1:33:27
more that niggas are so desperate
1:33:29
for views or clicks or whatever that they will do. This
1:33:32
is relating to what we were talking about earlier
1:33:34
as far as a lot of these podcasts, where people
1:33:36
are just saying the most outlandish shit
1:33:38
in order to get y'all to listen.
1:33:41
These people are also saying or doing
1:33:43
or coming up with these most ridiculous
1:33:46
ass hypotheticals in order to get
1:33:48
y'all to engage with the content because Elon
1:33:50
is going to send
1:33:51
them $42.68 at the end of three months for it.
1:33:55
People are doing that for these
1:33:57
exact reasons. They're trying to go viral
1:33:59
on TikTok.
1:34:00
so they can get a brand
1:34:02
deal with Clorox. This is
1:34:04
the whole goal. That is the whole goal
1:34:06
and the content, I just hate it because
1:34:09
if
1:34:09
what you have to say is genuinely good,
1:34:12
if you are genuinely funny, if
1:34:14
you have a genuine
1:34:17
point of view or something to say, like
1:34:19
that also works.
1:34:21
There are so many people out here not doing
1:34:24
the most and being stupid about
1:34:26
it in order,
1:34:27
and are so successful, are absolutely
1:34:29
thriving.
1:34:31
You can just be you
1:34:33
if you are actually being you, if you
1:34:35
actually have a talent, if you actually
1:34:37
do have a passion,
1:34:40
instead of just pretending to do shit
1:34:42
because you see it's the way and trying to make money.
1:34:46
So honestly, once
1:34:48
something goes too viral, like once
1:34:50
I see too many people sharing it, I don't even look at
1:34:52
it
1:34:53
because it's like, I already know whatever this is about
1:34:55
to piss me off. I saw the stills of the
1:34:57
Cheesecake Factory girl refusing
1:34:59
to get out the car, rolling her eyes, because like,
1:35:01
oh, it's Cheesecake Factory, and I'm too good for a Cheesecake Factory
1:35:03
date. And now this then turned into people
1:35:06
circulating whole lists of like, where
1:35:08
it's too cheap to go on a date, where it's too expensive,
1:35:10
where niggas think, it's like, oh my God,
1:35:13
all of this is off of something fake.
1:35:15
The
1:35:18
battle of the sexes or whatever thing that
1:35:21
Brian mentioned, I think is a huge part of it.
1:35:24
I think it also reminds me of what we
1:35:26
were talking about earlier in like
1:35:28
the, I don't know if it's
1:35:30
like harmless debates,
1:35:34
but the kind of maybe baseless
1:35:37
social media, back and forth.
1:35:40
Women versus
1:35:42
men
1:35:43
is probably the most common one
1:35:45
I see, especially on Twitter. Oh yeah,
1:35:47
that's a big one, yeah.
1:35:52
And so yeah, I think it's like, first of all, I
1:35:55
don't think we're ever gonna live in a time where
1:35:58
niggas aren't trying to hit licks. because humans
1:36:01
are inherently lazy and
1:36:04
greedy.
1:36:06
So we're
1:36:08
always gonna want as much money as possible and
1:36:10
we're always gonna want to do the least
1:36:13
amount
1:36:13
of work to get it, right? Most
1:36:17
people, I don't mind working hard, you
1:36:19
don't mind working hard. A lot of us, especially
1:36:23
from those who have worked hard, don't,
1:36:27
but that's not obviously, it
1:36:30
depends on the individual. Yeah,
1:36:32
for me it's not even about working hard, it's
1:36:34
just there's a line I'm not gonna cross and
1:36:36
I'm not gonna do anything
1:36:38
for a dollar. That's
1:36:40
another part of it. Some
1:36:42
people will say ice cream's so good and pop
1:36:45
individual kernels of corn
1:36:47
on their flat iron. And
1:36:50
for me most of the time it's like, I don't
1:36:53
care.
1:36:58
Another thing I think, for
1:37:00
Brian I might say is the algorithm
1:37:03
and
1:37:04
figuring that out. Because
1:37:06
a lot of the time you'd be forgetting when
1:37:08
you interact with those things, these
1:37:12
ones and zeros are like, oh,
1:37:14
this is something you want to
1:37:16
see. You have, you
1:37:19
know what I mean? So you're gonna see more of that. Versus
1:37:23
me
1:37:24
right now, if I go on TikTok, most
1:37:26
of the videos that come up on my
1:37:28
feed, if they're not from people I follow, they're
1:37:30
dogs.
1:37:31
Because a lot of my TikTok
1:37:33
videos have LinkedIn. Yeah. So
1:37:38
it is
1:37:38
also just about what you
1:37:40
see and shit like that. The prank ones, also
1:37:44
it is that people don't know they're
1:37:46
fake.
1:37:49
They want to have the argument. Yeah.
1:37:52
The same way niggas,
1:37:54
a lot of the motherfuckers who argue about the dinner
1:37:56
for, or argue for the dinner with
1:37:59
Jay-Z.
1:37:59
No, that's dumb. They
1:38:02
just want to be one of the people who's
1:38:04
gonna be like, well, actually
1:38:09
Okay, I don't need y'all's
1:38:11
attention that bad Yeah,
1:38:13
I saw one maybe two days ago.
1:38:15
I was on Twitter. My Twitter algorithm
1:38:18
is a mess right now or well I everybody's
1:38:20
is that's Elon though. Yeah, that's
1:38:22
definitely For you shut
1:38:25
the fuck up. Nobody asked and it just pops
1:38:27
up
1:38:27
automatically and it's just random people
1:38:30
Nickers, I don't even follow like most of the
1:38:32
time like I did not Talk
1:38:34
about shit. I don't care
1:38:41
But yeah,
1:38:43
I definitely I saw one the
1:38:45
other day that was a black woman who
1:38:48
had like alleged It was like taking
1:38:52
all these groceries back to like
1:38:54
Costco or something. Did you keep this video? it
1:38:57
was like a black woman who worked for
1:38:59
like a
1:39:00
like like a door dash or some shit and She
1:39:04
in the video. It's like this part
1:39:06
person is taking this stuff back
1:39:08
because they didn't get it, too
1:39:11
Like these two white people didn't tip
1:39:13
her on a four hundred dollar And
1:39:18
she was like well I'm gonna pack all this stuff
1:39:20
back up in the car and take it back to wherever
1:39:22
the fuck they got it from And so then people were having
1:39:24
this whole argument about quote-unquote
1:39:27
tip culture, whatever that is and
1:39:30
I was like this
1:39:33
is fake Yeah
1:39:37
This said it was confirmed to be at
1:39:39
least one of the people in it was like in a bunch
1:39:41
of
1:39:42
Twitter or tiktok pranks. Yeah, cuz
1:39:44
they nobody cares. They show you the tip you're
1:39:46
getting before you even like
1:39:49
Before you before you pick up the food
1:39:51
like you you can see it on
1:39:52
my view unless you choose to tip
1:39:55
in cash But then like I
1:39:57
don't ever do that
1:39:59
If I was it
1:39:59
I don't know because I've never done it, but I'm
1:40:02
like the bill is $400 Do
1:40:04
you want to tip me when I get there?
1:40:07
Yeah, but I can see how something
1:40:09
like that that the tipping thing is another one
1:40:12
that really gets people going so
1:40:14
yeah, they make up scenarios to
1:40:17
yeah, and I
1:40:19
Man I I
1:40:21
don't know. I feel like eventually all roads
1:40:24
lead back to capitalism and ultimately I blame
1:40:26
capitalism
1:40:26
Because people Literally
1:40:29
it people are trying to pay their
1:40:31
bills. They want to make money Yeah, and
1:40:33
I you know, I can't
1:40:34
be mad at that. But is it still
1:40:36
irritating as fuck? Yes
1:40:38
So it is but it's always gonna be it
1:40:41
is same way. There are these very shallow Podcasts
1:40:44
that you see pop up every day where
1:40:47
it's just like some greasy
1:40:49
nigga talking to an OnlyFans model
1:40:52
who makes up a story about a rapper
1:40:54
and Runs numbers
1:40:56
like I've talked to the girls who have
1:40:58
admitted to me before like yeah,
1:41:01
I made it Like none that I
1:41:03
can think of that actually, you know did interview
1:41:06
But I
1:41:07
I know content creators before that was like,
1:41:09
yeah, you just like make shit up because
1:41:11
it's gonna
1:41:13
The clips gonna go viral and then they're gonna go to mouth.
1:41:15
So it's like it's a lick. I
1:41:18
I can't stop it I can only live with
1:41:20
it. I'm more concerned about AI and the girls
1:41:22
flat-out Oh my god, you able to
1:41:24
use an app that makes you say some shit.
1:41:27
You never say right? That's much more scary
1:41:29
to me. But
1:41:30
thank you for that Brian If you have a read you would
1:41:32
like to pass in that to pass the read at
1:41:35
gmail.com We are always accepting submissions
1:41:37
for that. And yeah, that's it for me
1:41:40
Okay, so for me
1:41:42
Real quick. I saw a clip this
1:41:45
week of Idina Menzel,
1:41:48
she was on a podcast I think with Jesse
1:41:50
Tyler Ferguson I
1:41:55
Guess he has the podcast. They're supposed to be good
1:41:57
friends some shit like that. And for whatever
1:41:59
reason and she was talking about Taye
1:42:02
Diggs on the podcast, which she used to be married to,
1:42:04
I believe she was with children.
1:42:08
And essentially she went
1:42:11
into, you
1:42:14
know, discussion of
1:42:17
the relationship ending. And
1:42:20
she said, you know,
1:42:22
she talked about basically him being black
1:42:26
and having like a,
1:42:29
he basically was in a different
1:42:31
world than they were as a performer,
1:42:34
as a celebrity, and
1:42:36
that it, you know, matter
1:42:41
of fact, let me see if I can find the exact quote,
1:42:44
because there's something I didn't like about the way
1:42:46
she worded this. Essentially she said
1:42:48
that niggas disapproving
1:42:51
of his relationship with
1:42:54
this non-black woman
1:42:57
had a lot to do with
1:43:00
their relationship ending. And
1:43:02
I was just kind of like,
1:43:05
my first thought was, wow, the girlies are talking
1:43:07
about their decades old relationships
1:43:09
these days, honey. Like,
1:43:12
please, Father God, if anything, leave
1:43:15
me away from that. Like I do not. Oh,
1:43:18
I found it. She said, Yeah, I found it
1:43:20
too. Oh, okay. Go ahead.
1:43:22
Literally the same time as you.
1:43:27
She said, we all love each other and sleep
1:43:29
with each other. I guess
1:43:32
talking about like, theater kids,
1:43:35
theater kids and how
1:43:37
diverse that can look. And
1:43:40
then she said that he was on the cover of Essence
1:43:42
and Ebony and being interviewed by all these
1:43:44
black journalists. And I think he had his
1:43:46
own stuff to deal with that.
1:43:49
And it seemed like there was some disappointment
1:43:51
in the community with him because he was
1:43:53
married to a little white Jewish girl.
1:43:56
And so I took that on too.
1:43:59
So,
1:44:01
all right, you know, I like
1:44:03
Elsa. I have. Like
1:44:08
she's never really got on my
1:44:10
nerves before, nothing I can recall.
1:44:14
I get where she's coming from.
1:44:16
I feel like
1:44:19
honey, aside from discussing a relationship
1:44:22
that you haven't been
1:44:24
in,
1:44:26
for God knows how
1:44:28
long, which
1:44:31
I guess that a lot of people are put in positions
1:44:33
to do that lately, whether they have a book
1:44:36
coming out or they're, you know, on
1:44:38
a podcast. That
1:44:40
in itself is that, right?
1:44:44
But I feel like if you're going to discuss
1:44:46
something like this, you
1:44:48
want to be careful of the environment and
1:44:50
the manner in which you're doing it. Because
1:44:53
I don't think that,
1:44:56
especially in a
1:44:58
room with no black people in it.
1:45:01
Yeah.
1:45:02
Unless I miss it, I don't know, like, yeah.
1:45:05
Yeah.
1:45:09
That's a conversation with
1:45:12
a lot of moving parts and
1:45:14
a lot of nuance. Yes, it is. And
1:45:16
I think that you want to be
1:45:18
careful of having that
1:45:20
conversation just like
1:45:22
off the cuff or whatever. And
1:45:27
then also, I think you should
1:45:29
also be careful with
1:45:33
the Jewish part.
1:45:35
Saying, you know, the community was
1:45:37
disappointed in him because he was married to
1:45:39
a little white Jewish girl. I
1:45:42
don't know that the Jewish part
1:45:45
had anything to do with it. I don't know
1:45:47
how to tell you this, but most black
1:45:49
people don't even be
1:45:52
thinking
1:45:52
about it.
1:45:54
Or knowing. Or having any
1:45:56
idea, like, there's, we just don't
1:45:58
know.
1:45:59
know girl like we
1:46:01
we would have never it was
1:46:03
the white thing more than anything the white
1:46:06
it's the white part and maybe she just said that
1:46:08
because you know she is a white jewish girl so maybe
1:46:10
she just said it like that but don't yeah
1:46:12
i niggas especially outside
1:46:15
of like the coast especially like outside
1:46:17
of new york baby in oklahoma i
1:46:19
tell you right now nobody was thinking oh
1:46:22
how dare he be with a jew like
1:46:25
nobody not one body
1:46:28
not one body and
1:46:31
to your point i don't think it was pointed that's why
1:46:33
i'm saying
1:46:34
i feel like you have to be careful you
1:46:36
know what i mean because you don't
1:46:38
like nobody in the community that
1:46:40
even gave a fuck first of all yeah
1:46:43
we don't do that i'm so sorry we
1:46:45
do not do that was like oh she's
1:46:47
jewish like no you
1:46:50
not at all you'd be first of all
1:46:52
again just people come to all shades and colors and
1:46:54
and races and things like that yeah
1:46:57
and so that would have never been a thing it's the
1:46:59
fact that you were white yep more so and again
1:47:01
we can get into the reasons why
1:47:03
that is but of course you wouldn't because
1:47:06
of the place that you did have that conversation
1:47:08
in the manner in which you did yeah um
1:47:11
so i just feel like that could have been done better handled
1:47:13
a little better frozen you know just if
1:47:16
you want to come on the reader talk
1:47:18
about it that would be fun i
1:47:21
don't want to but i feel like you know that's a
1:47:23
better a better place to
1:47:25
do it for sure okay never
1:47:27
mind you know i'll do it if i'll
1:47:29
do it if they both come on
1:47:31
oh okay meanwhile
1:47:34
i think that was a reality why either one
1:47:36
of them can fuck right first of all where
1:47:38
didim and zell even hears about this show but
1:47:40
that they're both like we need to go on the read and clear
1:47:42
our name you're
1:47:47
right i would be i would be shocked i
1:47:50
mean you just said in the garden
1:47:52
you you ate earlier and the show's like
1:47:54
but we changed the game well we did and i think
1:47:56
in breath you'd be like don't know about this goddamn stuff
1:47:58
um
1:47:59
Um, I mean, so
1:48:02
nobody has to hold up a mirror to my
1:48:04
face today. Thank you so much. Equally.
1:48:07
That's why I'm on FaceTime. You're
1:48:10
so rude.
1:48:11
That was unnecessary and
1:48:13
very painful.
1:48:14
So it wasn't necessary.
1:48:16
Thank you so much. That, and then lastly,
1:48:19
very, very quick, um, leave
1:48:21
people and make kids alone on Instagram and the like.
1:48:25
Uh, I don't know what it
1:48:27
is about
1:48:29
a lot of you where you have this
1:48:31
like primal urge to
1:48:34
comment on the people's parenting
1:48:36
or any little thing that they do with their children
1:48:39
when they post videos with them. Yeah.
1:48:42
Um, there are things that
1:48:45
we
1:48:45
can criticize such
1:48:48
as Christian posting
1:48:50
a 20 minute rant about how she's going to dress
1:48:53
like Cleo from set it off because
1:48:55
she doesn't want for her child to be gay.
1:48:58
That worth commenting and criticizing
1:49:00
thing. A video of summer walkers
1:49:03
singing to her baby and rubbing his head.
1:49:06
Doesn't need y'all's commentary about
1:49:08
whatever the fuck. I lent a comment on
1:49:10
summer walkers pictures because she was like cradling
1:49:13
her son and singing him and trying
1:49:15
to get him to sleep in the caption, say something like, I've
1:49:17
been singing this song for 10 minutes. And this boy just
1:49:19
looking at me. And it's the sweetest, cutest thing ever.
1:49:24
And she's like stroking his head and a bunch
1:49:26
of the comments are like, you supposed to do it with
1:49:29
the grain, not against it. This is why boys'
1:49:31
heads be messed up. Did I hold his neck?
1:49:34
I know that baby neck hurts. And
1:49:37
I'm like, this is why
1:49:39
we never seen her kids' faces. She
1:49:42
barely posting it. She do. It's always
1:49:44
something like very vague
1:49:46
where you only get a little tiny glimpse of them
1:49:48
and stuff, because y'all are nuts. There's
1:49:51
nothing that she was doing wrong in that motherfucker video
1:49:53
whatsoever. And I left a comment that
1:49:55
say everybody, everybody, Mary Poppins,
1:49:57
when people post, they have kids.
1:49:59
And I think a couple of people responded
1:50:02
thinking I was talking about her.
1:50:04
Like, no, that's obviously in defense
1:50:06
of her. I would think maybe
1:50:09
not so obvious. I think some people got
1:50:11
it, but then others thought that I was saying
1:50:13
like, she only posts nice things
1:50:15
and not like I was talking about her, maybe because Mary Poppins
1:50:17
sing. And so does she anyway,
1:50:20
I wasn't talking about you dumb news. First
1:50:22
of all, I just found it. And like you said,
1:50:25
there's nothing wrong with this video at all.
1:50:27
Y'all are being weird.
1:50:29
And I thought, yeah.
1:50:32
Last week I saw a video of
1:50:35
Jada, Jada Wada,
1:50:37
where she was the same girl who you told me,
1:50:39
like her son said, lemonade or
1:50:42
whatever. I'm sure that's my son. Boy. I think that's
1:50:44
her. Yeah. She
1:50:46
was like in a video looking gorgeous in
1:50:48
this cute outfit or whatever. And she's like doing
1:50:50
a video and it's like clearly
1:50:52
nighttime and her son is in the background like,
1:50:54
where are you going? You going to the club
1:50:56
or something like that. It was so cute. And
1:50:59
she was like, no, I'm not going to the club. It was adorable.
1:51:02
It was so cute. Even though a boy wouldn't even visible
1:51:05
and people in the comments like it's something
1:51:07
wrong if your first, your
1:51:09
child's first assumption when
1:51:11
you're dressed up is that you're going to the club,
1:51:14
like basically trying to imply that she clubs too
1:51:16
much or, you know, something or whatever.
1:51:18
And it's like, why are you going to turn every
1:51:21
single thing that
1:51:24
women do with their children
1:51:27
into a problem on social media? Yeah. Everything
1:51:30
is like that child is old enough
1:51:32
to know it's my bedtime. I'm in my pajamas.
1:51:36
My mama goes to the club where she gets paid,
1:51:38
even if he knows that part. So like, again,
1:51:41
even if she goes to the club, odds are
1:51:43
she's bringing money back home that he then
1:51:45
benefits
1:51:45
from that aside, even if
1:51:47
she was going as a club for funsies,
1:51:50
it's like, I've had my den den, my lunch, my
1:51:52
snacks, I did my coloring. I'm in
1:51:54
my pajamas. My mama is dressed out.
1:51:57
My brain works enough
1:51:59
as a human being.
1:51:59
being systemized, maybe she's going to
1:52:02
the club. If I had
1:52:04
poked my head out at 30 something and
1:52:06
looked at her, I'm like, I would be, oh, you going to the club? Like,
1:52:09
no, so why are we trying to make this a bet?
1:52:11
You're a bet. Like leave people
1:52:13
alone. Attend to not your own
1:52:16
kids, but to your own self. Because
1:52:18
your kids are really,
1:52:21
your kids are the ones who really
1:52:23
needs to be concerned with because they're
1:52:25
being raised by you, bitch. So instead
1:52:27
of spending time on motherfucking
1:52:30
social media, criticizing the way that somebody
1:52:32
brushed their hair, their child's hair, the
1:52:34
way that somebody sings to them, the way
1:52:37
that their child speaks, the way
1:52:39
that their child communicates with them, the
1:52:41
very harmless things that people are doing
1:52:43
on the internet that you try to morph into
1:52:45
some villainizing thing, mostly when
1:52:47
their mothers do it and not when their fathers
1:52:50
are like, oh, I got a 26 year old stripper
1:52:53
to throw it back on my five year old. Like,
1:52:56
get it. Mind your
1:52:59
own business, get some
1:53:01
therapy, do some work on
1:53:03
yourself so that your own motherfucking
1:53:06
kids have a fighting chance. Cause honestly,
1:53:08
a lot of your kids, if they were raising themselves
1:53:10
at this point, would be better off than what you doing.
1:53:13
And you want to be on motherfucking internet,
1:53:15
you know,
1:53:16
gagging and checking and talking
1:53:19
bullshit with people for
1:53:21
doing like the littlest things. Get
1:53:24
a motherfucking life.
1:53:26
These people be 10 toes down at home,
1:53:29
feeding, clothing, bathing,
1:53:31
disciplining, staying up all goddamn
1:53:33
night and still working their motherfucking ass off a
1:53:36
lot of times without help. This
1:53:38
nigga comes, takes this motherfucking baby
1:53:40
to go get him a flurry and
1:53:42
go to Blockbuster. And then it's
1:53:44
just like nothing, nothing. No commentary,
1:53:47
nothing is said over there. But
1:53:50
you brushing his hair from front to back and all
1:53:52
of a sudden you should go to hell. You
1:53:54
motherfuckers get on my nerves. Yeah.
1:53:56
Ain't need you some help. I'm finished.
1:53:59
Well, you covered all the bases, including the fact that they
1:54:02
never have this same energy for niggas. So
1:54:04
on that note,
1:54:06
that will wrap up this week's episode of the show.
