SPEAKER_00

Next question. See ya. No. Um, that woman is fun.

SPEAKER_03

Neat. That woman was like when she did, I said girl.

SPEAKER_00

And then was next question. See ya. With the hand, look, TJ. See ya. See ya. Um, mental health is mental health thing. Um I had this talk with Diamond. We recorded, it seems like Wednesday is our like new day to record for Sisters in Sync. But yesterday, me and her recorded our show. And I don't know, I always have a nervous breakdown around my birthday. I'm just like, I'm not feeling it. The world is worlding. It just feels like another fucking day. And like I explained to her, it's like what I want for my birthday, I can't buy. Like, I can't go out and buy a good dick and down or buy a good relationship or buy a good male or female partner. I can't go out and buy another job. More money. Like, you know, so it's like I've been around the world twice. I have the purse, the designer bags, I have the perfumes. I've, you know, I've aided the no booze, the Brazilian steakhouses, the resilient. There's nothing you can buy for me. My car's almost paid off. I'm satisfied. I'm not a car person. I keep my shit up and I keep it clean. I don't have to get a new car every two years. You know, I'm not that type of person. My cell phone's gonna be paid. You know, so it's like outside of what I wish I could just pay off all my debt in one time, but there's nothing from the store that I want. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, so I don't know. I'm just, and it's a lot going on in the world. So I think I'm reinvesting into skincare and just those small practices. I've gotten back into my diamond painting. I've gotten back into a skincare regimen and exercising. And I know next week my mother and I we're doing a full, we're starting a full seven days of only fruits and vegetables, but I'm doing a 15-day gut cleanse. So I'm excited about that. Um I am the unofficial, official wedding planner, bone neural planner for my parents of convineural. So that's been fun, taking care of all of that, which Mr. Steele got invited to. I'm so excited. Um, he family, because mom was like, My baby TJ sent him an invitation. He only was girl. Um, but no, uh, and then the one person that triggers my mental health sometimes, he is back with Avengers like a damn roach that won't die. Um I already told my mama, I said, listen, when I get in a relationship with whoever, or if I get into one, the first thing I'm gonna do is send me a picture of me doing even nasty stuff with this person or tongue-kissing them. Just be like, yeah, nigga. That's the that's the patty in me. Because leave me the fuck alone. Y'all ever had somebody who y'all mess with or was in a situation years ago, and this person continuously continues to come around. No matter what I say, no matter what I do, how much I'll call you and cuss you out, no matter how much I even say, I'm praying for you. Even Jesus won't want to call. So I I'm just stuck. You know what I'm saying? And I'm but I'm not changing my number. I blocked, I, you know, you continue to reach out to me through different platforms, different medias, new whatever. So it's just been interesting. But I miss my therapist. I'ma probably email her to reach out, like she told me to. But I do miss our, was it consecutive therapy appointments? But I don't know. I just think mostly what's egging me on is I get like this around my birthday. It's like I have these time clocks that I feel like I'm not meeting, so it just bothers me. And then just what's going on in the world? There was a school shooting today, so it's just rest in peace in the one person that lost their life, but it's just like it's such a reminder that times are so precedented, and it's heavy. So that's my mental health. How about you, friend?

SPEAKER_03

Well, so I wasn't gonna talk about it on the podcast, but my uncle is in the hospital.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_03

Um, this is my oldest uncle on my dad's side. So not on my mom's side, but on my dad's side. I just feel like the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026 has been so fucking heavy. And I am trying my best to cope because I do not handle death well at all. When my uncle Ray died, I did not handle that well. When my aunt, my aunt Christy died in California, I don't think I told you about that. Because I when things like that happen, I I try to keep it private, I try to keep it to myself, right? My Aunt Christy died, she stayed in California in LA, um, kept that to myself. And when my aunt Lena died, my mom's sister, um that was heavy, very heavy. And now that my uncle is in the hospital, and all I hear is, you know, they're trying to make him comfortable, and I'm just like, damn. You know, it's like the people that you grew up with, right? Your uncles, your aunts, the the people that and these uncles and aunts that have passed away always rolled for me. Always. These weren't aunts and uncles that you know I didn't fuck with or know. These were my aunties, these were my uncles that fucked with me heavy. So I was gonna keep this, I was gonna keep this, but I have to be, I I realized that I have to talk about it. And I can't have a podcast talking about real shit and real issues about what the fuck is going on in real life and not talk about my real life, you know what I'm saying? Like I can't do that anymore. So it's happening. He's at the hospital right now, and my family is just we're just waiting. Um so yeah, it's been heavy. And then having to go to work with these white hosts, and because I don't tell I don't, I just don't tell them any of my business because only the black people that I work with, I tell them I, you know, I'll be like, like I just I don't because they'll know when I say, hey, my uncle is in the hospital, I I gotta go. You know what I'm saying? That's all they need to know, that's all they have to know. Because I have sick time. I have sick time. And I just cannot and will not deal with that shit at work at all. I don't need people asking me 99 motherfucking questions and oh well, you didn't bitch. I uh leave me alone. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00

It's just you know it's i I'm laughing, but it's not funny. It's just like This is fucking irritating. It's like I really want to take one of these fucking phones or whatever I got close to knock you upside the damn head with a little bit. You talking, uh bitch, shut up. You don't like me, I don't like you.

SPEAKER_03

Hello? And I know you don't like me because I'm a nigga. And I do my job better than you.

SPEAKER_00

Twice as better. Why are you looking at Bella Davis playing Michelle Obama? You're a nigga. No, but I want to tell you something on the series, too. When you just said about how, you know, I can't be on this podcast talking about real shit and me not saying what's really going on.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

That's the beauty of having your own platform.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

You being the CEO of your own shit. This is a safe space that you've cultivated. Talk about whatever you want when you're ready. Because again, that's not easy. And I think the hard part about growing up is you grow up, but you don't realize that everybody else grows up around you too, even the adults. So you get to a certain age. Right. You get to a certain age and you're like, damn, like these. I can't lie, sometimes I get emotional looking at my parents. You know, when I met my parents, they were young, vibrant. Now, you know, they're getting knee shots. Both of them have full heads of gray hair. They're moving slower. They have a grandchild now. So it's just like, you know, it's sad.

SPEAKER_03

It's, it's, yeah. And, you know, with my family, you know, we gotta, these niggas, these grandchildren over here, these niggas is just a fucking army over here between my mom and my daddy's shit.

SPEAKER_00

I'm just giving young women's soldiers over there.

SPEAKER_03

My oldest nephew is 27.

SPEAKER_00

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_03

27. That's my oldest nephew. And my youngest, first of all, I'm a great uncle, by the way. I'm a fucking great uncle. My youngest.

SPEAKER_00

I would have one nephew. He's still one.

SPEAKER_03

He turns two this summer. My youngest niece, my great niece is a year old. My niece. Great niece. And think about it, like I have, okay, let's see. Caleb, Amelia. Okay. So that's seven right there. Out of the seven, okay, I mean sorry, six. Sorry. I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. So out of the six, right? Three of them have children. All right.

SPEAKER_00

Crazy work.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. So my actually, hold on. No, Lavarius and Azalea have children. Sorry. I'm trying to get my other nephews and nieces a damn child. No, two of them have children. And Lavaris has three. And Azalea has one. So yeah, that's that's four great nieces.

SPEAKER_01

Jesus.

SPEAKER_03

And they're all girls.

SPEAKER_00

That next generation is gonna be girl heavy. Because I think that's generators boy heavy.

SPEAKER_03

Yes, it's good. And mom, oh mama, I'm like, mom, you a great grandma.

SPEAKER_00

That's crazy word.

SPEAKER_03

You talking about big mama, big mama. I said, well, mama, I said, you a great grandmama. And you don't get to see, you honestly, you don't see that. You really don't see that anymore, like great-grandmamas.

SPEAKER_00

Well, and my grandmother's a great grandma. Because my brother has a kid. So and all of us are in the same house. So it's like we live in a multi-generational house with five generations. So you have my grandmother, who's a boomer. You have my mom and dad who are Gen Xers. You got me who's a millennial. You got my brother who's a Gen Z. And then my nephew, who's who will be two this summer, is Gen Alpha.

unknown

Damn.

SPEAKER_00

It's five generations in one hour.

SPEAKER_03

That's beautiful. That is beautiful.

SPEAKER_00

My my grandmother is in her, she's 76, 77.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. Yeah. That's good. My grandmother passed when she was 85. So yeah. Yeah, she passed when she was 85. So she lived a blessed life, lived a good life. And um, yeah. So I mean, listen, death is is always gonna be hard. I just think I take it the hardest because I am just so used, and I have to get to a point in my life where change, like change is inevitable, right?

SPEAKER_00

It's inevitable, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

It's inevitable. Things are always gonna change, and the way you pursue change is how do you how do you move from it, right? Not move on, but how do you move while also keeping their legacy and their the the the memories of them? So that's that's uh that's my mental health. Um I'm here. Uh I just took an edible.

SPEAKER_00

Um so you send me swang, and he's gonna be swinging and laughing by me. You hear me, shouting out to me in condition, okay?

SPEAKER_03

But no, um, but that's it for me. I gotta go to work at eight o'clock in the morning. So listen, yeah. Speaking of just mental health, let's go into your corner, babe. What's going on in Ashley's corner?

SPEAKER_00

All right. So I kind of went, this is the most viral I've been on threads. I want to share something. It's not a tweet. What they call them, a threat? Like it's a thread.

SPEAKER_03

It's a thread.

SPEAKER_00

It's a threat. Oh, hey, a thread. That makes so much sense. My dumb ass is like, is it a threat? A threaty? Like, what is it? Um shut up, TJ.

SPEAKER_04

I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_00

I posted, I said, living, and I I did this two days ago. I said, living in Tennessee is so funny. Y'all are so pro-gun or Tennessee's and open to Carrie State until you see a black person born. I really want black people to understand me and understand me well. Hello. In these times that we're living in, you have to realize who your enemy is. And one thing I love about being from the South, they don't stay hidden. Nope. And and they're very verbal with who they don't like or what they don't associate themselves with. So just like them crackers got their guns, you need to get you a gun, or a few of them. So, be prepared. At this point, we don't, our government's a fucking joke. They don't tell us the truth about shit. It's so much that we're finding that. Well, conspiracy theorists like me have been known, but it's a lot of shit that's just coming out to the forefront. If you're a real nigga, some of this shit you know, like we know that crack was invented in the USC and it was put into the neighborhoods by the Jewish people and just dropped the fuck off. But white people are acting like they're just figuring this shit out. So it's a lot of things that's being rediscovered or oh my goodness it's a lot of that going on right now. Not to mention, we're in a full on fucking war with the country of Iran. So you huh?

SPEAKER_03

What? Bring them. We're ready. Let them come.

SPEAKER_00

We're ready for them. Oh, bitch. Listen, y'all think Middle Eastern people, your motherfucking enemy, you better be free. Respect to the law. Respect to the law. If they come up, listen, if this shit hit US territory, I'm gonna be in my motherfucking house. I'm not fighting no war. Because guess what? We didn't land on Plymouth Rock. Plymouth Rock landed on us, okay?

SPEAKER_04

Hello.

SPEAKER_00

So let these white people fight this fucking war. Don't I if at this point, I wouldn't encourage any young black people to go into the military.

SPEAKER_03

This is a white man's war. This is a white man's war. We didn't sign up for this. We told that stupid orange.

SPEAKER_00

Shit, white people didn't need to. Congress told his no. Why the fuck isn't Trump burning under a federal prison right now? His ass, uh y'all living his ass, speaking to this hole. He needs to be at the bottom of the hole that she's speaking into. Him and his toupee and his tanner.

unknown

Shit.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, God. Go ahead, babe. Go east.

SPEAKER_00

And no, but that's Ash's corner, though. Like, y'all, I've seen a lot of like black people online just having this realization like propaganda and colonization and white people have done a number on the entire world. And I think it's it's we've always realized this as black Americans because we have a unique perspective. We're American blood, but or we have conspiracy theories about that, but we are linked to the same genealogy. But despite whether we were born in America or whether we were indigenous here or our lineage came from Africa, this is our land. Okay? Um, well, this is the land that we have the ties to because this is the land that our ancestors built and established. I won't necessarily say it's our land because it belongs to the natives. Now, whether some of us were natives or whether I think some of us were natives, but in in the grand scheme of thing, I do think the indigenous people, this is their land, right? But at the same time, it's kind of like we've been made to believe. And having a father who fought in the Iraqi war and he came into the military on the tail end of the, I think the Persian Gulf War, I've been knowing this for the longest time. Black people and brown, black people, we don't have enemies in the Middle East. If y'all look look it up, you know, Iran freed all those black uh hostages. Black American soldiers will tell you they've always gotten treated better. Now, I'm not gonna be sitting up here and be stupid because two things can be right at the same time. We know act anti-blackness is worldwide. We know colorism is a thing, and we know persecution based off of religion is a very real thing. I'm not stupid. But and on the on the grand scale, black people were never the fucking problem. It's white people, their incest, their fucking greed, and the audacity and the totality of the lengths they will go to maintain power that is fading and dying out.

SPEAKER_03

So black people and their pedophilia. Oh call it out. Let's if we don't cut less, call that shit out because let me tell you something. Go, I'm gonna let you finish about it, but I got something to add.

SPEAKER_00

No, baby, you took it there.

unknown

Took it there.

SPEAKER_03

Because it's the truth. It is literally Tim, was it Tim Tebow? He literally said that 66 or 68% of all pedophilia cases are linked to white men. So what the fuck does that tell? Like, here's the thing. This is a white man that is doing research that are that is trying to protect kids. He literally told this to Congress. He told this to Congress. He said 66% or 68% of white men are linked to pedophilia. They are sitting at home sending fucking pictures, emails of little kids. So who's the fucking problem here? We've always known as black people, we have never been the fucking problem. Because one, we have never conquered a land, because black people don't. Why would we? Do that? Why would we do that? Why would black why would we have to when we have our own shit? When we know agriculture, when we know when the soil is right.

SPEAKER_00

Why would see we can detect weather patterns off of smell? The average American nigga can say, hey, it's finna, I smell the rain coming. It's finna come. That's why our nose is so damn big. We can smell the weather. Shit.

SPEAKER_03

So what why would we need, why would we need to conquer other people's land? Because we have our own. And for centuries, guess who doesn't? You don't need to conquer a land if you have your own fucking culture. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_03

Like, when are y'all gonna put when are y'all gonna put two and two together? Y'all literally try to conquer a lamp for spices and y'all don't even use some bitches.

SPEAKER_00

It's like putting a square through a round hole. That's it. It's like putting a square in a round hole. Like, I just don't like it.

SPEAKER_03

I understand. I really do understand. Because at the end of the day, black people know who we are. And we are the shit. So when white people see us laughing and giggling and being loud and having fun, they hate that shit. They hate, they hate when we are grouped together. Because to them, to them, unless we are fucking playing basketball, unless we are throwing a fucking football, or unless we fucking tap dancing, we shouldn't be doing anything but serving them.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. Whenever they see a group of black people together, it gives uh Evelyn from the Wiz, I'm allergic to water. They just get the fucking melting and seething at the mouth. Like, bitch, are you okay? Even in my corporate meeting last week, it was one, two, three, six. It was nine of us in one place. Basically, all of the black women in the company, we just attract each other. And oh my God, here's the problem. What's funny, bitch? There's no problem over here. But peeps, hair grease, and conversations. There's no micro regressions over here. There's no colorisms over here. There's none of that. We're having a good fucking time. All of this is the first time all of us get to be together in one fucking setting. Like, leave us a fucking loan. Or like y'all, hey, what are you girls talking about? We're women and we're discussing our business.

SPEAKER_03

Black shit. I just want, I honestly, I just, I can't, listen, I cannot wait to the day that me and you, and I am putting this into the motherfucking universe. The last two weeks at our fucking jobs, when I'm telling you, because it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. The last two weeks of our fucking job, baby. What are you gonna tell black shit?

SPEAKER_00

Look. Not on my watch. Uh oh, the way they'll be, we need to have a conversation over them, because bitch, I'm out of here.

SPEAKER_03

See you later. What company are you going to?

SPEAKER_00

None of your business. I don't, you know what? I'm gonna throw white people off so bad. I'm not even gonna update my LinkedIn when I leave. Because bit nowadays, everybody wanna get you fired based off of some shit they don't like.

SPEAKER_03

Exactly. Exactly. So no, I I just I I I say I say this to say all of that, right?

SPEAKER_00

Where are you going next? To hell with you next. Oh, I took it too far.

SPEAKER_03

No, you took it, you took it to where I was going. But hey, that's that's how that's how you know black minds work together. We collaborate and we understand, like, hey, like, there's a problem here. It is not us. Oh gosh. Moving on, uh speaking to white people. Um, Timothy Chameley, or Shamalay, or how do you say his pronounce his motherfucking last name? Shamolet, you said it right first time.

SPEAKER_01

Come to the forest. Shamala Wadin Dong.

SPEAKER_03

I I it's like you give white men an inch and they want to take five feet. It's like, why was that so fucking necessary for you to say that shit about ballet? Your family literally comes from ballet and dance, my nigga.

SPEAKER_00

Your mother, your sister, and your grandmother. Matthew McConaughey looked like Tom Mamas when he was talking to the Iranian prime minister. Matthew McConaughey gave Bill Duke in Society. You know you the fucked up, don't you?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

You know you fucked up, don't you?

SPEAKER_01

Matthew McConaughey didn't know what to do. He was like, Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. What the hell? Like, what the fuck? What the fuck is wrong with this nigga? Like, why would you do that? Why would you?

SPEAKER_03

Because ballet and ballet, dance, all of that is world renowned across the globe, my name. Like, what are we, what are we doing?

SPEAKER_00

And as quiet as it's kept, you lost a role to another white man who was classically, who was a classically trained dancer. So instead of sitting here upset about an art form that you feel is not prevalent, how about you step your cookies up? Because last time I checked, I don't see. Let me tell you something. The difference, you know what your problem is, Timothy Chalamet? You are the typical white man that gets rewarded for mediocrity. You play damn near the same fucking role in different fonts. Meanwhile, you got actors like Miles Canton, his debut role blew it out the water. You got Michael B. Jordan. You got actors like Aldous Hodge. You, and I can if if, oh, let's say everything's about race, Jacob Bellordi. That is a white boy who looked unrecognizable as Frankenstein.

SPEAKER_02

Hello.

SPEAKER_00

Who went from Frankenstein to fucking Wuthering Heights, a classic literature, a classic piece of American literature in the same fucking year. So no, if you don't win, bitch, you don't win. Leonardo DiCaprio, who it is an A-lister by by A-lister terms. That man took him how many years to win? If you don't win, it's just not your turn. White people hate to lose, and that's part of their fucking issue. That's a part of their psychology. Like, so this shit isn't funny to me. Oh, this is right. This is why art programs get kicked out of school because of the shit you saying because you fucking mad. Like, shut the fuck up.

SPEAKER_03

And then he tried to like, oh, I think I just got uh I lost 14% of my viewership. Nigga, what? What the fuck are you talking about?

SPEAKER_00

It's giving Matt Rife. You're gonna like you, you're you're gonna estrange your, it's giving Miguel, you're gonna estrange your fan base based off of a fantasy that you want that's really not even an issue if you kept to the original fucking formula. Yeah. But Marty Supreme was not all that good anyway. The only reason why most black people want to go see that shit was because of Tyler the Creator. Let's wake it up. That's the only reason why I had it. I did not want to see white girl Odessa Ozian, who, first of all, your mother is the white lady who plays the cartoon character off of Daria or Bob's burger. You are a full white woman at cosplay in a tan and a wig. If I wanted to watch a woman in a wig, I'd just look at my sisters for that. That move, there was nothing interesting about Marty Supreme except how Decurtis Debbie movie performance. That was the.

SPEAKER_03

Honestly, Marty Supreme just showed me, well, and probably the black people that seen it, well, this is literally what white men do. They get so fucking mad because they lost, and their ego literally, they do not stop. They do not stop. And that's what I was like, the martyr, the the ending of fucking Marty Supreme, I was like, You you literally destroyed everybody and everything around you just to win a fucking, you know what? I at that end of the movie, I was just like, this is typical. This is literally the ego of a fucking white man. And I was like, why the fuck?

SPEAKER_01

Like, and then it's like, oh, you know, like Oscar. For what?

SPEAKER_00

Who this for? Clearly not my ass.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, anyways, yuck. Um, moving on. You know what? Nashville Electric Service. Let me just according to News Channel 5, Nashville Electric Service email show CEO directed staff to give board members senator special treatment during ice storms. CEO, first of all, you're a dummy bitch. Teresa Royals Applin directed staff to provide board members with power restoration updates unavailable to the public during January's ice storm. Now, if you didn't know, Tennessee, we went through hell and back in January when we had a fucking, not blizzard, a fucking ice storm to come in wreck everything around us. Trees fell down, trees were just fucking busting. You could hear the fucking trees about the crack. Like it was terrible. Terrible. The interstate was fucking, like, it was awful.

SPEAKER_00

People were trapped in neighborhoods for weeks at a time.

SPEAKER_03

The older, let me tell you something how bad it was. No one could get emergency medical help because the roads were iced out. Were iced out. People were trying to get to the hospital, were crashing in their fucking vehicles. The elderly people in areas like Bellmead and Forest Hills and all of these places that have so many fucking trees around them, they didn't have power. We had elderly people die because of this fucking ice storm. And you dummy, you fucking dummy were sending updates to Marcia fucking Blackburn, who is the devil. She's a fucking devil. She ain't no demon, she's the devil. You sent updates to board members from Nashville Electric Service. What are we doing? You need to be out of that job like now. Someone needs to kick your ass out of that. I just don't understand. And this is what I mean when I talk about the state of Tennessee. It's treacherous. The state of Tennessee, the way that this government, the way that all of this shit is run in Tennessee, get just ass backwards. We're we're we're we are governed by a bunch of fucking dummies. Dummies and hypocrites.

SPEAKER_00

Racist dummies and hypocrites.

SPEAKER_03

So, yeah, this Teresa, you need to be gone. Like immediately, like two weeks ago. Stupid. Like this is for like this is this is so insane. You had people literally without power for almost two weeks. And then they get these motherfucking bills talking about 600, 700. Uh, I think a girl posted on Instagram talking about um, I got a bill for$1,500 from Nashville Electric Service. Bitch, who? And guess where I would have been had my black ass at the downtown, waiting for them to open the motherfucking doors. And now they have this fund that's going around talking about, oh, if you need help paying your bill, help paying my bill, this bitch ain't getting paid. I done have for two weeks. Bitch, this ain't this shit ain't been who? You better ask Bill Lee.

SPEAKER_01

Who said that?

SPEAKER_03

You you better ask Bill Lee for that money that uh that was given to him by the by the government. That's where that money needs to be going to. The people. Fuck you talking about. Anywho, talking about this stupid bitch. Um oh yeah, baby. Go ahead, Meta Glasses.

SPEAKER_00

First of all, and I am so serious when I say this. Being a millennial, I come from an era where I had to text on my phone in order for me to text a character, I had to press a button three times. I come from the era, we're the last era to do analog. So I came from analog to digital. When we used to party, go to and I come from the age. We used to have teen clubs. Our age group had teen clubs.

SPEAKER_03

Correct.

SPEAKER_00

When we were in college and we were partying, we partied. You might have taken a picture or two, but nobody was recording, nobody was filming you. So now we have meta glasses. Motherfuckers are getting so extreme with this shit. They're telling you how to kick the light sensor off, which tells you there's an indicator light on them that people are either covering or kicking off or taking them off so people can't tell they're filming with meta glasses. First of all, bitch, if you'll wear a pair, this young lady said it best. I cannot think of her name, but shout out to her. If you'll wear a pair of meta glasses, bitch, you'll wear a wire.

SPEAKER_02

Hello.

SPEAKER_00

Why are y'all recording everything and everybody? It's been a lot of reports, and there was a report released by the workers of Meta of these smart glasses that are telling you, hey, we're watching y'all's footage. And guess who are the main perpetrators of this? Men. Y'all have women drunk or in uncompromised positions, and they're you have people watching this live feeding stuff. Or y'all are recording people without their consent at the club, having a good time, recording drunk women, or recording a bunch of women getting undressed or in uncompromised positions, y'all are fucking freaks and weirdos. This is why women choose the bear. So honestly, it's getting to the point now, bitch, if you got glasses on, I don't even want to be around you. Sorry that you're blind, bitch, but I can't trust you. Because it's just like I go to have a, this is why people don't dance, people love type, because of shit like y'all always are filming people. Like it's it's not cool. And y'all are doing this shit to people that y'all don't know. Imagine you sitting there having an intimate conversation, having the drink, letting loose. You're a professional. Everybody likes to let their hair down. Literally, this one, this one white girl was in the airport. She was sitting there, I think she was reading her book or on her phone, scrolling. This guy was kicking his feet in front of her, and I think she asked him to stop. So they struck up a nice genuine conversation. Her brother calls her next day, was like, hey, you know you're going viral on TikTok. She said, for what? She didn't know what she had said had been filmed. Gladly, you know, I'm glad she wasn't talking about nothing, but she was, she was like, I was petrified because I didn't know why I was going viral on TikTok. Just like this lady was undressing. Some man had like left his glasses in a room. And that's something that I've, you know how many times I've been in a dressing room in public, and I've seen people leave their glasses or leave a phone and I leave it right there. I'll go to the store clerk or give, like, hey, they'll left there. People are leaving their glasses in places and recording people. If you, if I find that you got some meta glasses on around me, it's a wrap. I'm airing you out.

SPEAKER_03

Um this shit happened last month uh with me. Um group of I'm just gonna say group of teenagers walked in and they kept touching their glasses or whatever. I'm at work, by the way. They kept touching their glasses, and I said, I said, are y'all okay?

SPEAKER_01

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03

He said, What do you mean? I said, you keep on touching your glasses. He goes, what are you talking about? I said, your meta glasses that you have on? He goes.

SPEAKER_00

Like, do I really look that stupid?

SPEAKER_03

Like, the what I guess one of his friends was like, I told you, why would you walk in here? They know what those fucking glasses are. Bitch, you walked into a tech retailer and you don't think we know what those fucking glasses are?

SPEAKER_01

Stupid.

SPEAKER_03

I said, before we have any conversation, I said, I need you to take those off and put them in your pocket. He goes, Oh, we'll come back. I said, thought so. Fuck out of here. You thought you was gonna come in here and fucking record us, bitch?

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_03

We have a no we have a no record, like there's no recording policy for a reason. Fuck is you talking about? Yeah, you put, let me tell you something. I better not be in a motherfucking conversation and you pull some glasses out of your fucking.

SPEAKER_00

It's been people that said they found themselves online from clubs, having a good time. Yeah. Or like concert. Or, you know, you know how many times, and this ain't even me trying to be funny, it's just real. You know how many times I've seen a drug sale? And I mind my fucking business, because black people, we know how to mind our business.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Imagine you doing a drug sale and you see it online, or imagine you cheating on a spouse or a girlfriend, and somebody they made a glasses catch you. Granted, you shouldn't be cheating, but it's just a matter of fact that all this shit is given 1984 by George Orwell.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

This is he, we're we're moving into a heavy surveillance society. Yeah. And it's not cool. Like people are afraid. And I really feel like that's that's one of the keys to the loss of individual individualism in this country. But it's just like everything you do is being monitored or being data tracked or you're teaching AI some shit. Fuck AI. Fuck this medicine. And if you had no shit around me, you won't be around me for long.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, you better not pull out, you, you bet not pull out no motherfucking glasses around me and click something because it's gonna, I'm telling you right now, it's gonna be a fucking problem. It ain't gonna be no, oh, nigga, what you doing? Oh no, what you doing? Yeah, we done. Whatever you got, we done. No, I wanna know. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give you the little weirdo. And I'm gonna let the people around you know that you got some fucking meta glasses around you on your fucking face. I'll do it every single time.

SPEAKER_00

You got he got the met He got he had the Matt Gala, y'all. He had the Mets.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, God. Moving on, this is who you really need to be recording, uh, Andy Ogles. Uh he's a 5th district congressional um representative um here in Tennessee. And um he's a piece of shit. Um he's a racist, he's a misogynist. Um he said um no Muslims should be here in America. They should all but go back to their country. First of all, this is not a Christian. This is not, as much as y'all white people want this to be a Christian company, uh not a well, might as well say company. Um that's how y'all, that's how y'all run y'all business. Um as much as y'all want this to be a Christian nation, it is not, because this is not your nation. You didn't find shit. This is has always and will forever be. And this is why, this is why shit, y'all keep on coming up talking about Christianity and all of this bullshit. Let me tell you something. It doesn't, it is, it's not landing. It is not landing. You telling certain people to go back to where they came from, you need to look in the mirror. You need to go back to Europe, you need to go back to the caves, you need to go back to wherever you fucking came from because as quiet as kept, and they know this too. The truth of the matter is brown people have always been over here. They have always been over here. Brown and black people have always been over here. And what you're not gonna do, Andy Ogles or whatever the fuck, however you say your name, you are you're really nothing. I don't care for people that sit up there and tweet because he's what he's looking for is a Trump nomination. He's looking for orange puss. You know, to give him the attention that he wants. His daddy. That's what they call him. Daddy Trump. So again, if Trump says, hey, come up to the White House, he will leave, be on a motherfucking plane up to that White House in five seconds. Because he loves kissing ass. And I heard he loves kissing a lot. Well, I'll say that. Wait a minute. He's an alcoholic. He's just like Pete Hessef. He's a fucking alcoholic. He was literally filmed in Spring Hill, Tennessee, talking about drunk. Talking about, yeah, I voted for that. I voted for that. What's the problem with it? You're a you need to, sir, are you okay? You're getting paid by the people, the tax dollars. And you're sitting here, you're drunk in a public restaurant.

SPEAKER_00

Meanwhile, you got so many Republicans. Who was it? Was it Alex Jones crying to Nick Fuentes about voting for Trump? Shut the fuck up. Y'all know Trump voting for y'all.

SPEAKER_01

We do not care. We do not care.

SPEAKER_00

First of all, white people, this is an education system that you put in place and you're not using it. Since when has there ever been a Muslim country or a Christian country? There isn't a country that's based off of religion, you dumbass. Religion is its own separate entity. You can go to any country. There might be Christian majority or the m but there's gonna be people that practice every religion in every country. Like, fuck out of here. It's stupid. A lot of people talk to hear themselves talk.

SPEAKER_03

I am done. So Andy Ogles, uh go, you know, go drink some more because uh apparently you haven't got you haven't got, you know, in those classes yet. But please just do do us a favor. Why don't you just drop out? Why don't you just drop out of Congress? We don't need you. You are dig a hole and bury yourself. Yes. Yeah, we don't need you. We don't, we do not want you, or we do not, and we do not need you. So stop. Um next up.

SPEAKER_00

Take Marsha Blackburn with you.

SPEAKER_03

Take Marsha Blackburn, take that's uh the uh the speaker of the house, that one too. Take all of them motherfuckers with you. Take the speaker of the house, Bill Lee, Marsha, all of them. Y'all need to just rotten hell. Um speaking of rotten in hell, Department of Defense spent$93 billion. Um and then, hold on, let me see what they spent this shit on. Uh heard about some crab, uh, crab legs. Yeah,$93 billion.

SPEAKER_00

How come cool stamps? And two months said, This shit 30 years ago, you got money for wars but can't feed the poor. How'd that work?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Often described, where you're doing something nice for the troops, often described as a surf and turf meal. It's a tradition in many cultures. The steak and lobster dinners are meant to be a thank you. Boy, if you let me tell you something.

SPEAKER_00

The Olympic male hockey team, McDonald's, Big Mask.

SPEAKER_03

McDonald's.

SPEAKER_00

Which that's what they deserve.

SPEAKER_03

Because they was talking shit about the women's house when you're called McDonald's at that, but that's you know, yeah, that's what y'all get. That's what y'all fucking get.

SPEAKER_00

But it's just like how embarrassing.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. We have so this is what our tax money is going to. Lobster, steak, furniture expenses, um, violent.

SPEAKER_00

People that's not even in the government.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. It simply reserved both orders of furniture and technology for September to use up the rest of the budget. These motherfuckers are playing in our face every fucking day. And we keep on trying to tell you black people have been trying to, we always are trying to save the world from its just destruction. But here y'all are. Y'all love chaos.

SPEAKER_00

They damn do.

SPEAKER_03

And we've seen that with the Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico. Y'all white people and Latinos really irked the shit out of me down here in Texas. Y'all motherfuckers will sit there and get frozen to fucking ice every time there's a fucking blizzard in Texas. But y'all said, oh, her tone. Hot Wheels is down there not giving a damn if you have electricity or not. You thought our ice storm up here in Tennessee was bad? Nigga.

SPEAKER_00

It was horrible in Texas.

SPEAKER_03

And then you got not DeSantis, but uh, what's the what's the other motherfucker uh uh in Texas? Cruz, Ted Cruz.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, good.

SPEAKER_03

He he leaves and comes back every time an ice storm comes, he leaves.

SPEAKER_00

That motherfucker was on the damn vacation. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

So you got Ted Cruz, you got you got Ted uh Island Cruz, and then you got Hot Wheels. And y'all want to sit up there and say, oh, you know, Jasmine's tone is just a little bit. You know, when I hear white people talk about tone, it doesn't, all it does to me is says, oh, you just don't like black people. You just don't like black women. Because everything that Jasmine Crockett has said has been the truth about what the shit is, how it is going in Texas.

SPEAKER_00

And you Hispanic people, Texas people give ISO I Texas, if it was up to white people in Texas, every last one of y'all and y'all Mexican restaurants would have been the fuck out of there, but y'all didn't vote for Jasmine McCrockett. We need a chance.

SPEAKER_03

We need a chance of winning. Okay. Go ahead, we're preacher boy then. I don't give a fuck. I really don't. At the end of the day, like, at the end of the day, again, this is why black people look at y'all sideways every fucking time. And you Latinos down there that are getting rounded up by fucking ice. I just don't understand. I really don't. Y'all want to be adjacent to white people so much that you will vote for your own demise. Y'all are getting worse than fucking white women.

SPEAKER_00

That's why I say, baby, I'm not a person of color. I'm a black woman.

SPEAKER_03

Thank you. You said what I was just about to say. Every time someone said, Well, you know, people of color, I'm not a person of color, I'm black. I'm very different. Listen, I had to correct someone the other day. They kept on saying, people, I said, Who's this people of color that you speak of? I'm black. And they're like, oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I said, just so you know, Uno, Dose, Trace, I started counting out all the black people. I said, we're black people. Okay? Because you, you're not gonna group me in with Latinos, you're not gonna group me in with Asians, you're not gonna group me. We are all different. We are all separate. We have our own different things.

SPEAKER_00

That don't fuck with black American people. Because they'll sell us out too. I come in for y'all too.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, because y'all didn't want to help, y'all didn't want to join the program. Y'all didn't want to join. When black people again, when we're talking about black immigrants, listen, this whole notion of, you know, you got some people on here talking about, well, this is just, we don't need to be doing all of this.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, we do.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, we do.

SPEAKER_00

These are the conversations that need to be had because I'm not fighting for you.

SPEAKER_03

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00

I'm not.

SPEAKER_03

So we're not. So everyone's supposed to band together just because we're black, and then them niggas sell us out, and there ain't gonna be no shaboozie's type shit over here, nigga. What the fuck is you talking about?

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_03

Nominated for an Oscar.

SPEAKER_00

No. I forget what he's in somebody's tribute and it's for a blues. That nigga don't even respect black Americans or our music. I'm so I'm like, take to what's that? Um Tanner would posted about it. You have to read in the take on the book. Oh, I seen, I seen that.

SPEAKER_03

I seen, I seen that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Someone, some black, a black woman said, She read his ass to film. What they say. She said, She said, I don't know why y'all got your boozy immigrant ass on here.

SPEAKER_03

He don't even respect, he said, he don't even respect fucking country music that was created by motherfucking black people. I just, I, at the end of the day, the conversations have to be had because what we're not gonna do is have another fucking essence festival. We're not doing that shit. Oh. They're coming back. And speaking, speaking of Essence Festival, the motherfuckers said, all right, move all of that shit. Whatever we did to the side, bitch. Let's get black. Listen.

SPEAKER_00

Let's get still. Just like Target, I'm still not fucking going.

SPEAKER_03

Uh-oh.

SPEAKER_00

That's not on our document, but we need to talk about it.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, we can let's let's talk about it. Um, we'll talk about it next week. Um, because I I think I know Brandy and Monica are um headlining and I'm Oh God.

SPEAKER_00

What Target?

SPEAKER_03

No, no, no. You talking about Target or you talk about the SS Festival?

SPEAKER_00

I was like, we need to talk about Target. I don't give a damn about Esses Festival.

SPEAKER_03

I know.

SPEAKER_00

So I'm over that shit.

SPEAKER_03

We'll talk about we'll yeah, we'll we'll talk about Target. Yeah. Well, speaking of, hell, let's just do it now. Speaking of Target, Jamal Bryant, who the fuck do you think you is, nigga? Like, what are we doing?

SPEAKER_00

Who named you the black delegator? And it wasn't even your idea at first. I want to give a shout out to the black woman whose idea it was.

SPEAKER_03

Yes, please look her up, baby, because this shit is getting out of hand. I don't know how much the CIA or the FBI paid you. I I don't give a damn.

SPEAKER_01

But we'll Target cut him a check, honey. Allegedly.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, God. He got uh, first of all, he was in a Target. In a Target, talking about, I am so proud of, you know, we got the three things out of the four that we asked for. What was that?

SPEAKER_00

And the fourth was the most important fucking one. So you mean like this nigga here.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I I tell you who read him for fifth, though. That damn Yvette Nicole Brown.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, yeah. She read, listen, I love her.

SPEAKER_00

I love her now.

SPEAKER_03

Love her. But um, yeah, Jamal Brown. I see, I you know when you have feelings about something and you like, mm, the switch up is mmm.

SPEAKER_00

And this is why we say black capitalists can always be blocked, can be bought.

SPEAKER_04

Hello.

SPEAKER_00

And this is why we, and this is why, as black American people, a lot of us have distanced ourselves away from the church. Because pastors used to be on the front lines with people of the liking of Amart Luther King, a Megar Evers, Malcolm X's. Our black, our black religious spaces and a lot of our black quote unquote leaders who the only reason why they're leaders is because they got money and they're black celebrities. Half the time, half of them are appointed by the CIA. Let's talk about it, let's wake it up. A lot of y'all fucking suck and y'all don't have a backbone.

SPEAKER_03

I am trying to get this. Um, well, he was a he was a pastor at a church for about four years, but he uh he left the church. He started his own like community. It's not called a ministry, it's called a community because he just seen the lies. He's seen the lies, he's seen what happens in just the different spaces. And this is a man that has been to almost 65 different churches, like visited, like over his five-year period. I'll tell you off the podcast, but I'm trying to get him. I'm trying, I DM'd him. Yeah. I DM'd him and I'm trying to get him on the podcast because the schedule is heavy right now. But I want him to, because he was like, his testimony, like his testimonials, like about what goes on in the black church. When I tell you spot on, and I don't know what's going on with you, these, well, I do know what's going on. These motherfucking black pastors and y'all uh doing these little viral videos of y'all talking about uh y'all gonna take people's W-2s and look at them because you know, y'all ain't gonna be playing in my face. Nigga, get a fucking job. Get a job. Get a job like your whole congregation. Get a job. People, black people are being, and that's that's the disconnect. Because if you was a real pastor, if you was a real pastor, you would understand that almost 350,000 black women have been let go of their jobs. Over half a million today, over half a million black men have been let go. So if you really want to be real and you want to be a real pastor, you should be talking about that. You talking about giving tithes and offerings. Nigga, fuck your tithes and offerings. You talking about someone trying to pay you? No, nigga, you get a real job. How about that? Get a real job instead of one of the jobs.

SPEAKER_00

Where are your tithes and offering at?

SPEAKER_03

Hello?

SPEAKER_00

And honestly, Pastor Jamal Bryant, you kind of became the unauthorized face because this was started by Nakima Levy Armstrong. And the fourth demand was that D and I D E I would be reinstated. And that shit wasn't. Fuck Target. I never was a Target shopper to begin with, but guess what? I take a stand. I'll never go in the fucking, I'll never got to buy a goddamn thing from Target. Fuck them.

SPEAKER_03

I'm not going, I haven't been to Target since uh, what's this month? March. I want to say a year, a couple of months. And guess what? I'm not missing shit.

SPEAKER_00

Nothing.

SPEAKER_03

Honestly, I'm not, I'm I'm not missing shit. I've been going to Kroger, I've been going to Aldi, I've been going to Publix. I ain't missing shit. I don't go to Walmart. I don't go to Super Walmart at all because I like neighborhood Walmart better. And we don't have none of them down here. But yeah, I don't, uh no, I don't, I'm not going to Target. Target had like every other store that I just named has everything that I need. Everything that I need.

SPEAKER_00

Nicole Brown said, and is your church, talking about Pastor Jamal Bryant, one of the beneficiaries of that 100 million? And if so, how much did Target pay you? Oops, I mean your church, to declare that all is forgiven and that we are returning to their stores. That part. Shout out to you, Vet Nicole Brown.

SPEAKER_03

Capitalism, and I'll say this. Capitalism will never save black people. Capitalism will never save black people. And I'm gonna add one more thing to it. Religion will never save black people. Because black people do not come from capitalism, and black people do not come from religion. We come from spirituality. Now take that whatever the fuck you want to take it. I said what I said, and I'm not taking it fucking back. You can tell me you need to be in the I'm not going to know, I'm not going to fucking church. I've already talked to my mom and my daddy about it, how I feel. And my thing, I told to you a couple of episodes ago, Ashley, about some of my family that they kept pushing. I said, listen. When the church accepts everybody, and I mean everybody in that motherfucker, then I'll come. When the church lets people come as they truly are, which states in the Bible, which you can let the path of them.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And what they really are.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

A lot of you have sexual trauma that started in church. There is no hate like Christian love.

SPEAKER_03

There you go. There you go. When you sit there and you listen to a man tell you how to run your motherfucking household, that's a problem. That is a problem to me. You gonna let a pastor tell you how to run your household? So miss me with that shit. Like I said, these these churches, and y'all wonder why millennials are not going to church anymore. Because we have sat through our childhood and listened to the bullshit.

SPEAKER_00

A lot is happening.

SPEAKER_03

And things don't add up.

SPEAKER_00

And and the force to be seen, not heard, to get the fuck beat out of you for asking the question. Hello. Having to deal with haters. Some of your first haters in life as a young black child can be older people in the fucking church. Hello. To be abused sexually, verbally, mentally, sometimes physically.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. I'm good on that. I'm good on that. And listen, you know, I have been in this spiritual, the spiritual um journey, and it's working for me. It is working because as black people, we are spiritual beings. We're not supposed to be under a religion. But that's that that that's you know, that's another conversation for another episode. Um hopefully I can get the gentleman on here. Um, and I'll talk to you about it after the podcast, Ashley. But yeah, yep, I'm not doing it. Um LaRussell sold 30,000 copies.

SPEAKER_00

Congratulations to him.

SPEAKER_03

Yes, congratulations to that black man. Um you know, everyone loved it, except one entity, right? Billboard. Billboard disqualified him for selling 30,000 copies because as they state, he didn't go through the right or correct levels. What do you mean correct levels? Oh, you mean he was supposed to give y'all half.

SPEAKER_01

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, not a piece. He got half of the pie. No.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-oh.

SPEAKER_03

Half of the pie. Because that's what they do. He didn't go through a record, he didn't go through marketing, he didn't go through all of these places that would have took most of his money.

unknown

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03

Even if he sold 30,000 company uh copies. So they disqualified him from being on the billboard chart. Um, and guess what? You don't need validation. You don't need validation from Billboard, you don't need validation from these white entity companies that um, you know, have white people at the helm of them. You don't need it. You don't need it, LaRussell. We got you. We got you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And and I just want to say that is a clear definition of every time we catch up, y'all move the goal. And move the goal. Every time.

SPEAKER_03

Every single time. Every single time. All right. I want to make this real quick. Illiteracy in America, we are witnessing a overwhelming, overwhelming population and increase of illiteracy in America.

SPEAKER_00

If you want to really get into that, look at the teachers on TikTok. They will fucking tell you eats.

SPEAKER_03

These kids that are in eighth grade are reading on a third grade level. George W. Bush, someone needs to beat your motherfucking ass. Um, can you name me three countries, uh Ashley? Can you name me three countries in America?

SPEAKER_00

Three countries in America. So if we're doing just America as a continent, North America, South America, Canada. And then, well, then you got Central America, which includes like Honduras, Nicaragua. No, you're good. Thank you.

SPEAKER_03

You passed. You passed. Yeah. They asked they asked a group of people. There's a video, by the way. They asked 30 people. Name me three countries in the in the continent of America. Countries. Not continents. These motherfuckers said North America, South America, not continents, babe. Countries.

SPEAKER_00

United States, Mexico, Canada.

SPEAKER_03

Canada. Shit, Brazil, yeah, yeah. Brazil.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Uh Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Venezuela, Grenada.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And I bet they were Republican. Next case.

SPEAKER_02

Yep.

SPEAKER_00

They probably lived in a red state. Embarrassingly enough.

SPEAKER_03

Gosh. Um, yeah. So moving on, I just wanted to bring that to, you know, y'all listen to this podcast. We just want y'all to just understand that illiteracy is running a muck in the fucking palace. Okay?

SPEAKER_00

And here's the thing, and Lord, I'm I'm I know how the girls like to tussle, but shit, I deal with that shit in dating. Cause let's not act like black women and black men are not on the we're not on the even playing table that comes on edge comes to education.

SPEAKER_04

We're not.

SPEAKER_00

I feel like some straight man feels like being educated and knowing how to read a full passage of a book makes you a corny ass nigga. No nigga, what makes you a corny ass nigga is you can't even spell I. WYD nigga, what? Don't don't smoke, don't talk to me in acronyms like I'm a fucking theater in the military.

SPEAKER_03

Don't piss me off.

SPEAKER_00

Like, I just so every man that asks me what you doing, I leave them on it. Bitch, what you doing?

SPEAKER_03

Because what why is that the that is the standard? What you doing?

unknown

Blocked.

SPEAKER_00

In my skin. Like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_03

Blocked.

SPEAKER_00

Instantaneous.

SPEAKER_03

Not, oh, I'm gonna come pick you up, we're going to a five-star restaurant. No, I'm about to put a thousand dollars in your bank account. Oh, no, I'm about to bring you some flowers, open the door. What you doing? No, I bought you some. No, even the simplest thing is I bought you some food, open the door.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_03

Or I see your car, I see your car in the driveway.

unknown

I got

SPEAKER_03

You something come outside.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, yeah, like just simple, simple shit like that. Irritate.

SPEAKER_03

But niggas want to say, What you doing? And that's why. And the thing about it is. Nah, I'm not going down that rabbit hole. I'm not going down that rabbit hole. Because there are a lot of there's a lot of straight men that get mad at women because women know and understand what the fuck that they are talking about. And the reason why a lot of straight men get mad is because the woman is more intellectual than you. Oh yeah. You you you get mad because you know she's smart. You know the woman that you are dating is smarter than you. And that guess what? That's great.

SPEAKER_00

But that's the thing. It's just like that's what makes it so it's already, and Lord forgive me.

SPEAKER_04

Go ahead.

SPEAKER_00

This is why we say, and this is a real conversation we had. That's why a lot of black women make the comment of listen, if it's not my girls or my gay men, I don't have to worry. Like I know I'm not gonna be set. Like because we're not on the same playing field money either.

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_00

Because again, black women are the most educated demographic. We have the most businesses.

SPEAKER_02

Hello.

SPEAKER_00

So we're the only race of women whose partners are not on the same level as us. Everything we do, we have to date down. Because have y'all talked to y'all? Like, ooh. Especially the heterosexual ones. They ooh, they still think washing through their ass cheeks is gay.

SPEAKER_03

Oh God, I'm sorry. I I feel like we have this conversation every other episode about it's just, I just want I just want my niggas to do better. I really do. I just want y'all to read a book like once a week. I mean, read something different. You know what I'm saying? And listen, you need, if that woman or the woman that you are dating or trying to pursue, if you know she is smarter than you, which 98% of the fucking time they are, that is an amazing thing. You know how many niggas won't you listen. You know how many you need her. I'm just gonna say it like that. You need her in your life. You need her to change the things that you are motherfucking doing. Because the things that you are doing, nigga.

SPEAKER_00

They don't like listening and taking instructions because you ain't no bitch.

SPEAKER_03

She's trying to help you, and you're talking about I'm the man of this motherfucking house. In your what house. She paying the bills. Oh she she paying the bills, my nigga. Like, what the fuck we talking about? Okay. Listen, listen, let's move on. Let's move on. Listen, I'm always, and listen, before we even get move on, I'm always gonna have the woman's side. I don't give a fuck. I was my mama, my grandmama, my aunties, they raised, they raised the hell out of me. My daddy was here and my uncles here, but my mom, they they taught me to respect women and understand. And there is nothing like having a black woman on your fucking side. There's nothing like having black women on your fucking side. Because, baby, they're going to ride. They are going to ride for you to the day that you fucking die.

SPEAKER_00

A lot of us have stopped doing that though. Because what did what what does it get us in return? Absolutely nothing.

SPEAKER_03

I'm talking for listen, listen. And as y'all should, as y'all should, but at the same time, I see you black women supporting the men that still love you.

SPEAKER_00

Hey, man.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. All right. Gas prices, they up. They up. They ain't going down. I and I listen. It's gonna get worse. And Iran, uh, Iran, sorry, Iran. I know some people say it two different ways, but Iran is talking about they finna hack um all the U.S. All the US banks? Baby, wipe my debt clear, but clean, baby. Whatever you got to do, wipe that shit clean, okay? When I look in there, all I got is zero zip. Listen, zero debt, zero this, zero that. Okay. I'm good. I'm Gucci.

SPEAKER_00

When I signed gas prices, all I said was, show me how to do things. Yo. Listen, I'm finna be on some skates, a bicycle, because bitch, by the way, you remember how high gas was when we were at war with Iraq?

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_00

I ain't got it. I ain't got it, nigga. Um, but shout out to the natural black market. But for real, though. This gas is gonna be expensive because California, they already had$8.

SPEAKER_00

$8.30. Bitch, if I saw that guy, I bet that's the cost of my phone bill. For$14. I mean, think about it. So I have a mid-sized SUV. My car is$14, is$14 gallons. With to the two, with how gas was two weeks ago, usually tasty money would be$36. Imagine eight times eight dollars, 14 gallons times$8.30. That's$116.20. That don't make no motherfucking sense. That's my phone bill for gas. And you have to get gas. I know I get gas weekly, every week, or sometimes I can push 10 days.

SPEAKER_03

Mm-hmm. I can push, I can push like maybe 12 on like a good, like a 12 or 13 days. But you know, my, you know, my car. It's like a little, you know, some. I ain't telling the makeup my motherfucking car. But it's a it's it's it's a mid-size, you know, mid-size little car. Little car. Um, baby. Iran said, fuck with us to find out, bitch. We finna we finna make y'all shit work. Listen, and the fact that they said, um, the black people, y'all don't have to worry about nothing. We ain't coming after y'all. I said, baby, thank you.
