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

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

1:26:23

1:26:37

about my daughter to her face

1:26:40

around her nothing She don't even

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

What crystal said, you know, I doubling

1:26:56

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
