This is a black podcast. And the last person that commented on our reel, trying to talk about Ashley, about uh she don't know what she's talking about. Well, bitch, come on the podcast, ho. Come on the podcast. Because your Abby, first of all, you're a bot. You're a bot. Someone that doesn't have any posts. You have, you follow 438 people and you only have 22 followers. You're a bot, bitch. Please. I'm so sick and tired of these people. Y'all always want to get in these motherfucking comments and say something stupid.

You can email us at the BlackParadigm77 at gmail.com. And that is the Black Paradigm77 at gmail.com. We're excited to be here tonight. Uh, a lot of my sinuses and stuff is a lot better than you know what we dealt with last week. Uh Ashley's is too. So we're here. We're here. Um, so let's just hop into it. Uh, Ashley, how's your mental health boo?

SPEAKER_06 2:06

Well, mental health is all right. Just going through the day-to-day, um, I really haven't been so much concerned with my mental health as I've been with my health, just the allergies, the pollen. It's, I feel like throughout the years it's getting worse. And through the epiphany we had on our last show about not having female trees is the reason why we're in this big allergy debacle that we're in. And it almost feels like it's gotten worse because man-made tends to break. Patriarchy tends to fall. Clearly, men in every species is trash.

SPEAKER_04 2:42

Um, thank you.

SPEAKER_06 2:46

And except the girls. Um, but the rest of you niggas, including trees and even the damn male octopus, the female octopus is throwing rocks at this nigga. I said, Oh, he pissed her off on the water, bitch. So you had all the women across society and across the species just pissed the hell off, including my allergies. So, yes, it's been last week was a short week. Like short work week because of Good Friday. Still was a long week. This week, full five-day week, but a long week. So I'm actually really looking forward to the weekend. I told nobody, don't call me. I'm not coming, I'm not spending money, I'm not drinking. I'm just cleaning up, catching up, and relaxing. I want to get back into my book. I'm starting a new book. It's a black mystery by uh, I think R A or S. A. Crosby and my diamond painting, and that's it.

SPEAKER_04 3:44

First of all, I love your shirt, by the way. Dear ancestors, I understand the assignment. Yes, ma'am. Because we know you uh scary assholes that sit up there and say, I'm not my ancestors. We know pussy. We know.

SPEAKER_06 3:58

Shout out to Candace. She brought me this shirt for my birthday.

SPEAKER_04 4:02

Oh, shout out. You said shout out to who?

SPEAKER_06 4:04

But Candace. She listens what my coworker and my good sister brand.

SPEAKER_04 4:08

Oh, shout out to my brother.

SPEAKER_06 4:09

Sister Cat brought me this for my birthday, and I love it.

SPEAKER_04 4:11

Yeah, I love it too. Um, and as you can tell, I got the uh the black paradigm shirt on.

SPEAKER_06 4:18

I need to wear.

SPEAKER_04 4:20

I know, I know, I know.

SPEAKER_06 4:22

When we go see the gristen eggs, I'm gonna get my shirt.

SPEAKER_04 4:25

Yes, yes. When we go see Deontay Kyle, um, yeah, I'm gonna be excited. I'm gonna be excited. Um, my mental health is um, I tell you, I told my managers and I told some of my co-workers at work that um I need a third day off because I feel that me losing my aunt, me losing my uncle, as close as it was on both sides of my family, it has triggered something in me. And I don't do good with, you know, no one does good with death, but me especially, I need time to myself to kind of like process a lot of things, right? So thank God for my company having this whole kind of like um wellness um company where you can take days off, months off, and everything like that. Um, shout out to them. I am in the process of filing to get like three days off a week, uh, still getting paid for, you know, being a full-time employee, but just taking that time to get a lot of things done, to process a lot of things for my mental health. Um, and I deserve it. I literally woke up today and I told myself, bitch, I gotta do what's right for TJ. Like, if I'm not good, then my parents aren't good. If I'm not good, then I mean, I have to, I have to take care of my parents. I have to take care of a lot of financial stuff. And if I'm not good, who's gonna do that? You see what I'm saying? Yes, I'm a middle child, I have two brothers and everything, but they both have kids. I don't have any kids. So I have the responsibility of taking care of my mom and my dad, which I will do. But I'm going to be healthy, my mentor's gonna be at a good place, and it's me time. So even after this podcast is like even after this podcast tonight is over, I'm looking at movies. See if I want to go look at a movie tonight, or I might find something on Netflix, and it'll just be me and the motherfucking movie talking. So, listen, I tell you this. If you have, if you have time, right? Sick time, or if you have a wellness company or anything like that that lets you take off for some couple of months and everything like that, do it. Take advantage of it. And you know you've been at that company for a while, baby, do it. Because they're not gonna tell you to do it. You gotta do it on your own. You gotta take care of yourself, okay? So do it. And I'm specifically talking to black people because in these motherfucking times where they're trying to erase our fucking history, when they're trying to act like, oh, well, you know, they didn't create that. Bitch, we created mostly everything in this fucking country. Stop it. We know black people always know what we created. So, yes, mental health, wellness is very important. So take advantage of it. Okay?

SPEAKER_06 7:40

And again, you think I'm gonna listen to a motherfucker who found this country by happy stance because they got lost.

SPEAKER_04 7:46

Do you think I'm gonna listen to a motherfucker that used to eat me? They used to eat us? Exactly. Come on now. Come on now. Anyways, what's going on in Ashley's Corner, baby?

SPEAKER_06 8:02

Okay, I want to say something. Being a white person, a w a black face in a white place, in specific my company, and fun fact, I'm not gonna say where I work, but we don't have an HR department. Now, I want black people, yeah, don't have no HR personnel, no HR department, never have. I wanna say something. If you have an issue with your company, we've always been taught in America to go to HR, which stands for human resources, and that was done on purpose. Human resources are not meant to protect you.

unknown 8:39

Correct.

SPEAKER_06 8:39

HR is meant to protect the company. Yo, your ass, your black ass, call EEOC. EEOC is the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It's an independent federal agency that enforces laws prohibiting workplace discrimination and harassment based off of race, color, religion, sex, including pregnancy and sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, and or genetic information, and investigates complaints and acts against employees with 15 plus employees, with employ against employers, excuse me, with 15 plus employees. They protect you. So firing, hiring, promotion, harassment, training, wedges, wages, not wedges, excuse me, wages. Um, if you feel like somebody discriminates against you because you're black or you're a woman or you're gay or you're whatever it is, or if you feel like you're overlooked, ELC is gonna come investigate if you call them. Yeah. They're there to protect you. Yeah, not a jar. I really want black people to understand that. And coming from somebody that's has a, well, I finished half of my master's degree as a master of organizational leadership with the focus of human resources. Yeah. Human resources, I've really learned what it was. It's not what you think it is. So, black people, please know who your people are, know your chain of command.

SPEAKER_02 10:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 10:07

When the white person, it's always white people that have nothing better to do, or they're intimidated by how good and how excellent you are. They want to dim your light. So you need to do this. Actually, I don't need to know because now I need to do a goddamn thing. Because in the handbook, this is my job description, and this who I report to. And if I don't report over that person, is this person, over this person is that person. Out of scope.

SPEAKER_04 10:36

Out of scope. That's what I tell you.

SPEAKER_06 10:39

Y'all let that one book, the Bible, indoctrinate y'all. Get indoctrinated by your work handbooks. No section 2.25 says this. Because when the bitch try to come up and tell you what you need to be doing or what you should be doing, no bitch, you should mind your motherfucking business and learn the handbook like I did. I know that motherfucking inside out like I know my damn panties and my PH balance. Because you are not gonna fuck with me. And it's like white people fuck with black folks so much in a fucking workplace, it don't make sense. Half of the time, well, not even half, I would say 70% of the time, it's not even something that we're doing. It's something that we're not doing, and this we're not fucking with y'all. We just want to work my business. I just came to dance for y'all. That's it. That's all I want to do is work and get my motherfucking check. So, black people, please, I employ you. Know who to talk to, know, know what your job is.

SPEAKER_04 11:33

Correct.

SPEAKER_06 11:34

Know what your job is, know what the rules of your workplace is, kind of know something about your state law. Because state laws and right the fire, right the all that shit varies by state, right? And call E E O C, don't call H R.

SPEAKER_05 11:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 11:49

And if you're really a cinematic bitch, and you want to blow up a company by the time you read that clause so they can't come back and sue you. Because some people you have to wait a certain amount of time before you can talk about what happens if you get fired or if you're not working for. So know your handbooks.

SPEAKER_05 12:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 12:07

That's absolutely true.

SPEAKER_05 12:08

Know your handbook.

SPEAKER_04 12:09

Yeah. Listen, I'll tell you this. I always tell motherfuckers that's out of scope. Know your position. Know what's in your position. And when they change what you're supposed to be doing in your position, because companies will do that. They will literally oh, well, you can look it up. No, where is it? Every employee should have got an email about my position changing.

SPEAKER_06 12:39

Because the thing is, the what you come back to, why wasn't I made aware of that change?

SPEAKER_04 12:44

Correct.

SPEAKER_06 12:45

My favorite saying at work, that's about my pay grade.

SPEAKER_04 12:48

Correct. Listen, don't let them say that, oh well, this it it was, it was in the um the new description of your job title. I said, Oh, when did that happen? Oh, well, we um we. So we we didn't let me me know. I'm confused. Are you confused? Yes, yes, I'm confused.

SPEAKER_02 13:14

Clearly.

SPEAKER_04 13:15

Because that, like I said, it's out of scope. Because I don't know anything about what happened two, three weeks ago. Because guess what? You as my manager, you as my store leader, you as whoever, the director, y'all didn't notify me. I don't even have an email. Look, here you go.

SPEAKER_06 13:32

Where's the email? And black people, stop deleting emails, baby.

SPEAKER_04 13:36

Oh, I don't delete emails at all.

SPEAKER_06 13:37

Your mailbox typically, and mostly everybody uses Outlook, but typically you you come with a hundred gigabytes of free. I've been in my company now for almost 18 months, and I still haven't used a four gigabyte. Don't delete nothing.

SPEAKER_04 13:54

Nothing.

SPEAKER_06 13:55

Nathaniels. I don't even delete the spam or tips. I keep it all, bitch. You're not gonna fucking give me. You will not trick me.

SPEAKER_04 14:03

Listen, let me tell you something. I got you one better. Do not delete your emails at work and do not delete your motherfucking text messages. I have text messages from 2014, my nigga. Because if some shit go down, guess what? I got receipts. You're not finna let me let me tell you something about me. I'm gonna, as y'all know, I'm a motherfucking Libra, okay? You might start the shit, but bitch, I'm gonna motherfucking finish it. And I'm gonna have all my receipts in order, and I'm gonna have a case study on your motherfucking ass.

SPEAKER_06 14:37

Here's, oh, you wanna talk about mother?

unknown 14:41

Oh!

SPEAKER_06 14:42

Esteem, I keep text messages, but I'm also good crispy bitch for a screenshot. Exhibit that. You see this? You see this? That's what you said. That's what you said. When shit happens, because you you bitches like to unsend messages and delete tweets. Nah, bitch. I got your motherfucking number, hoe. Because you want the only thing I have to do is stay black and die. I don't gotta do a motherfucking thing. So you're not finna say I said that. Cause I know what I said and what I didn't say. Nephew. I know what I said. See what you did.

SPEAKER_04 15:22

You put him on the screen. You put him on the screen, and he said, Oh, he said, I feel my presence. He felt that, baby.

SPEAKER_06 15:27

He said, You pay me my 10 cents for that appearance.

SPEAKER_04 15:30

Hello?

SPEAKER_06 15:32

Because who you thought this was, bitch. I don't work for free.

SPEAKER_04 15:37

But no, I listen to everyone that's listening to the podcast, keep your emails, keep your receipts, keep your text messages, and keep your screenshots because the way that these people, a certain demographic, is always trying to try us at the workplace, baby. Listen. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_06 15:56

Last tip, keep a tracker of everything you do.

SPEAKER_04 15:59

Correct.

SPEAKER_06 16:00

I have my own personal trackers. I have my own way of how I keep my own metrics. And, you know, I'm a little spicy. I'm a little crazy. I take pictures of people unknowingly doing crazy shit. Oh, actually, you're not supposed to I'm only supposed to do what? Play with your mammy, hoe. Don't play with me. Well, you and that lady were leaving together at the same time and you have a wife at home and you're supposed to be at work.

SPEAKER_04 16:27

Y'all were hugged up in the break room. And it wasn't another.

SPEAKER_06 16:31

Let me tell you something else. This is coming off into a full tangent, but this I've been in the workforce since I've been 16, technically 15, but legally 16. When I was 15, I had the job under the table. So I've been in the workforce for over half my life now. It's been 17 years. White people are going to cheat at that job. Damn near all of them do. In some shape, form, or capacity. They're going to sleep with somebody, they're going to sleep with a coworker. They're going to sleep with clients. They're going to text us, they're going to flirt after the company party. Everybody got drunk on the company field day. They're going to fuck each other. Keep that shit in your back pocket. Be seen and not heard sometimes. Because a lot of the times of the power that black women have, black people in general, people treat us like we don't exist. I heard a great point the other day that said that the reason why black, the reason why a black person can say something and a white person can't understand or hear it, because they're trained not to understand and listen to the shit we say. We get a white person say the same thing. We say, oh, I understand. So the power of that is they treat us like we're not, they treat us like we're invisible. So the shit that they do in front of us, sometimes they forget we're fucking there. Use that to your advantage.

SPEAKER_04 17:50

Since they don't want since since they don't want us, they don't want you to be seen, use that. Use that as your power.

SPEAKER_06 17:57

Listen.

SPEAKER_04 17:59

Oh, I'm invisible. I'm gonna be invisible, hoe. It's gonna cost you though.

SPEAKER_06 18:03

When I worked, I kid you not. I worked in Wendy's. It was mostly black girls there, but it was some white people there. I was in the bathroom stall, two white girls, I was on my break. I was just in the bathroom on the toilet, just sitting there.

unknown 18:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 18:20

Two white girls came in there. They were just talking about their husbands, and one, she ends up sleeping with this soldier that comes there all the time. And I remember just taking notes on my phone. I was listening to her. So I came out of the bathroom and they just woke up like this. Anyway, so a month goes by. Husband comes in. Oh, I just love you. So she was just like, oh, I'm so glad he left, blah, blah, blah. And she, I remember I was working the shoes like, I need you to go do the chicken, nuggets and fries. I said, Well, our manager said that I'm working to register because I've been on chicken, nuggets and fries all day. Well, I said, I'm like, well, you're not the manager. Well, I've been hung on. I said, Well, what does your husband think about Billy coming in right after he leaves? Yeah, bitch. So, what about the chicken nuggets and fries? How about you fry me a 10-piece because I'm about to get off? Thank you. I learned a valuable lesson at 19 years old. What you're not gonna fucking do, Becky, is play with me.

SPEAKER_04 19:27

You know what? Let me tell you something. I have to give you your chance on that one right there, baby. Because you she thought, she thought that she could talk to you and tell you what to do. Girl, what the fuck you think this is?

SPEAKER_06 19:40

That's all, bitch. We all pushing fucking burgers and fries, ho. This is not a hierarchy. I'm here on the summer to get a paycheck. And let me tell you something, it took me years. I used to have about a thousand notes on my phone. I have a naming system that nobody knows. I haven't written down. So if I die, one of my best friends is gonna get this. I'm about to delete all this shit, bitch. Nobody knows my system. As much as I talk to my mama, don't nobody know my system for how I name shit in my phone. Especially my fucking notes. So a lot of that shit I got rid of. I'm like, I'm not gonna see that stupid bitch again. Delete. But some of that shit for certain people I keep. Because I know some of you racist white bitches that I went to college with are gonna run for Congress or Senate. This was you in 2012. This is what you said. I got the voice recording. And some days I be recording shit and you'll never know.

SPEAKER_04 20:36

Yeah. Yeah, that's how I um back in my Starbucks days, baby, there was this white hoe that. Oh God. There was this white hoe that thought she could just come in and tell people what to do and everything. And the whole, like, I feel like about 80% of the store did not like this woman, right? This woman came in one night and she was drunk off her ass, right? Now she wasn't clocked in, but she was drunk. So I was saying, hey, like, you know, do you need anything? Because I was like, I was really worried about her because she was stumbling and shit, right? And someone, I think it might have been Liz or someone, someone said, Hey, what time do you have to be at work tomorrow? Oh, I open. Now, everyone that has worked at Starbucks knows that our opens are usually you have to be there at 4 o'clock or 4 30 in the morning.

SPEAKER_06 21:28

Or 4 30, depending on your store. Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_04 21:32

Baby, when I tell you Liz looked at me, I looked at her, I said, Oh shit. I said, I don't know what I ain't got, y'all got it. I said, because I don't have to be up in this bitch to 11 tomorrow, right? So she stumbles herself into the bat, has a seat on the computer. First of all, again, the bitch is not clocked in. So she's going in, and as a shift supervisor at that time, they Had the power to like do the schedule and shit like that. When I tell you this bitch went in and tried to make her schedule, like she could come in at six or seven o'clock in the morning. She tried to change this schedule. So right there, I was right there at the door. I took a picture of her. I surely did. But I knew this bitch was up to something. So the next day, I get a phone call around like 5 30, 6 o'clock, like, hey TJ, da-da-da-da. We didn't have an opener. So-and-so called that. I said, Oh, she did. She said, Yeah. Like, she said she's sick. Oh, she did. Okay, cool. I said, I'll be there at 9.30. I can come in early because I can get off at 6, right? I get there. She's like, yeah, like she just sounded like she was, I said, she was drunk. She came in here. I said, pull the cameras up. She came in here. She was fucking drunk. She was stumbling on all the fucking tables. And Liz was like, I told her. I told her. I was like, she said, I just needed a witness. I said, no, no, no, no, I got this. I said, here you go. I showed her the photo. Because this bitch had been getting on everything. She said, was she trying to change the schedule? I said she wasn't even clocked in. See? See you later. See you later. No, fuck you. Because you you you set up there, you sit up there, and you played with people's schedules for the last two, three months. You um got caught cheating. No, it's time for you to go, bitch. It's time for you to go. So see you later. I don't give a fuck. I don't care. You come in there drunk trying to change people's schedules and stuff like that. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_06 23:43

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_04 23:44

Yeah, so yeah. And then I think soon after that, I think the only people that could change the schedules or something like that were the managers, and they took like a lot of access away from like the chef supervisors and shit like that. But yeah, she was she was one of those people that uh got y'all shit taken away. But uh, yeah, with her drunk ass. Because that's not the first time that she came in the store. Like I've heard stories. Like there, like it was uh momentum built up. Like this wasn't the first time she's done that. This is the first time I saw her ass. You come into your own store drunk, stumbling over tables, and you don't think the camera's gonna see that?

SPEAKER_06 24:22

Not only that, the scary part is bitch you was driving in that state. That's crazy work.

SPEAKER_04 24:27

You were driving in the state of Tennessee. You were driving. Period.

SPEAKER_06 24:33

Insane.

SPEAKER_04 24:34

Yep. So keep your receipts, keep your emails, and keep all your videos and your pictures.

SPEAKER_02 24:40

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 24:41

Um Easter shenanigans. So we know Easter has come and gone. Um did everybody have a good Easter weekend?

SPEAKER_06 24:51

I did. It was fun. I made my nephew an Easter basket. I did the theme was Blue Bunny and it came out so nice and so cute. He loved it. Yeah, I was like, first little basket.

SPEAKER_04 25:05

Yeah, I was talking to um Majestic. He was in Louisville with the bunny. Yeah, he posted that shit off. Like, what the fuck, nigga?

SPEAKER_06 25:18

See how he does you, Majestic? You hear him, don't you? He's our editor. So he's gonna do this.

SPEAKER_04 25:24

This nigga gonna say fuck the Easter bunny.

SPEAKER_06 25:29

Here comes Peter Cottontail. Yeah, right with the Easter bunny.

SPEAKER_04 25:34

Uh speaking of the fucking Easter bunny, um Trick Daddy.

SPEAKER_06 25:42

You might make me choke on my damn energy, Dream.

unknown 25:45

Trick Daddy.

SPEAKER_06 25:47

So pussy at you, sir.

SPEAKER_04 25:56

So rapper Trick Daddy shut down at the AKA conference. Alpha Kappa, Alpha Sorority, and aka leaders say a rap performance by Trick Daddy fell short of expectations. So here's the thing. And I'm gonna I'm gonna put it like this. Y'all knew what the fuck was going on. Y'all had to sit down with this man. Like, I listen. Y'all had to sit down with this man. This shit had to get approved by the sorority. Don't sit up there and act like, oh, Trick Daddy shouldn't have done this. Y'all hired him to do a motherfucking performance. This is Trick Daddy, 305, Miami Dade, nigga. What the?

SPEAKER_06 26:48

And I'm gonna play devil's advocate because I love the ladies of AKA. I have a lot of my good girlfriends in AKA.

SPEAKER_04 26:54

They've done a lot of amazing things. A lot of amazing things.

SPEAKER_06 26:58

I knew what I was gonna say. Legendary they have.

SPEAKER_04 27:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 27:01

I truly feel like, this is my personal opinion. I feel like the younger ones that did the voting, they didn't respect the older AKAs at all because I got insight from people that were actually there. A lot of the older AKAs, or like people that were used to be in leadership that transferred leadership to the younger ones, was like, this is not how this is done.

SPEAKER_04 27:25

So it was a generational.

SPEAKER_06 27:27

I think it was a generational thing. I really do, because you had some aka's that saw no issue with it. And I'm just observing online. Even with people that I know of my personal life, younger ones, like younger millennials, Gen um, Gen Zers who are AKAs, saw no issue with it. Versus like older millennials, Gen X, but we still have some people that are alive that are early boomers that are like golden JKA been aka for 50 plus years. So I truly feel like as this is more of a generational thing. Because even if you think about how we do church, back in the day, you would have never been a woman in church with jeans on or a pair of pants. You know what I'm saying? So I do think that this was generational. Now, did it have to go through multiple voting specs? Yes, but I think how older people, how younger people perceive older people is so different now because, you know, in the workplace, in church, certain things, like even with us being 32 and 34, 35 years old, like it's certain, even though we talk a lot of shit, you know we respect our elders. So it's certain shit we're not gonna say in front of them. Like for instance, if your grandma and my grandma was in this room listening to us record, we would clean a lot of shit up.

SPEAKER_04 28:48

So out of respect. Out of respect to our grandmamas, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 28:52

These new kids, well, she in here. She get a birthday, she gonna hear it, or whatever the fuck they're saying. So I think it's a generational thing. I do.

SPEAKER_04 29:02

Yeah, but we were like us as millennials.

SPEAKER_06 29:06

And Trick, what the fuck was that dance looking like a goddamn kangaroo just hopping around? He needs to stop his shit. Ain't that like sir? What did he say? He said, Who pussy can I eat? He's like on me, he didn't. Look, you gotta jump on this, I belly, you gotta jump on this dick, y'all hire me. Nigga. I just walk out.

SPEAKER_04 29:34

It was just a video. Oh, they walking out, y'all. And then you had some people that were dancing, and then you had like some of the older aka's walking out. I was just like, oh God, this is a fucking mess. Like they, they're I tell you this. Next year, oh baby, they're gonna have a mix. They're gonna have a mix of generations in there because they not gonna let that shit happen again.

SPEAKER_06 30:00

Baby, next year, I know they finna have them uh, they finna mess around and have Shirley Caesar up in there as an entertainment because what you thought this was? The Alpha Kappa Alpha, them ladies, them beautiful ladies are not going for that. I mean, it could have had like even if y'all, okay, so again, and this is why I'm Tamia, I mean, was Tamia not on the like But they've had too short, I'm I'm gonna play devil's advocate again.

SPEAKER_02 30:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 30:29

Too short did the Sigma Gamma Rose Centennial, but the difference was he censored his lyrics. So that's what I'm saying. Did the younger generation not because again, these younger kids don't hold their elderly in the high in in such a high regard like we did. So they don't think cussing and not dressing, they don't think that's a big deal. Even with bonnets. I won't go in public with a bonnet on because I hear the older women in my life, I hear them in my head. Like, this is a sort of young kids, I don't give a fuck. Like, they don't. So they probably didn't even think the cussing and the dick, all that was a big deal. Meanwhile, our age group right in center, like, yeah, this is popping, but not for not for this setting. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_04 31:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 31:16

So I that's kind of what I got from that. But yeah, I think it's it again, just that was.

SPEAKER_04 31:23

There's two sides. Like, yeah, I see, I see both sides. I really do. And you know, I've always I've always been the optimist, right? But when I seen that video and them ladies was walking out, and then I seen some of them ladies dancing and like getting down, I was like, oh, this is a generational, like, it's a gap.

SPEAKER_06 31:39

But even outside generational, there were younger women that I seen walking out. Because if you think about the mission, aka what they stand for, how it came to that. Like, nigga, you shocking me up to a pussy. This is what you think of me. But as a that that's what I'm saying. Yes, and that's what it sometimes that's what it feels like being a woman.

unknown 32:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 32:03

Dealing with men. Nigga, all you think about is my pussy. You don't think about me as a person, you don't think about my accomplishments, you don't think about my community service, our ver, you know, our values.

SPEAKER_04 32:13

It's just, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 32:16

Her daddy is the bottom of the barrel. So that's kind of like you said, that's what you need to expect. That nigga does cocaine and weed. That's called bunk. Who the fuck? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 32:34

So I I would say this, like, because you said they had too short, right? And I I look at too short and then I look at it. I I look at too short and I look at Trick Daddy. And to me, it is easier to talk to Too Short than Trick Daddy, because at the end of the day, Too Short has records where he's, you know, he's letting shit fly out, right? But at the same time, you talking to a nigga from Miami Dade that still acts like he's a young nigga from Miami Dade. So it's it's it's different. It's different. And I think the maturity, because I know they had to have a talk with him. They had to have a talk with him. Like, hey, like, you know, could you censor your words? And that nigga got up on stage and said, fuck y'all.

SPEAKER_06 33:16

But then again, even with how, and this is just so Go ahead, go ahead, Frank. When a nigga's wrong, he only he don't meant what he's wrong, in my personal opinion, because when we even when we listen, y'all hired me, y'all hired me. I feel like what what what he would have said would have been, yeah, I just came up here and did it anyway. I did what the fuck I wanted to do.

unknown 33:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 33:40

Yeah, they talked to you. I honestly don't feel like whoever the community would have told him this. And they probably just assumed that he would have, which I don't know why they did, but how he was how he was talking about how, y'all hired me, y'all know who Trick Daddy was. I don't think they told me.

SPEAKER_04 33:54

I don't think they had a conversation. Yeah, yeah. You're right. You're right. You're right. I don't think they had a conversation about his lyrics. So that's why he kept on saying, Y'all hired me. Y'all hired me. Y'all hired me.

SPEAKER_02 34:05

Y'all hired me.

SPEAKER_06 34:06

Nigga, you look like a Buffalo soldier up there. Go on. Get the fuck out of here. Hey, Sap. That shit. Hey, Sap.

SPEAKER_04 34:23

Oh, not Tokyo Tony. Ooh, God. All right. Speaking of another crackhead, uh, Jake Paul, baby, you got this one.

SPEAKER_06 34:38

First of all, you punk ass bitch. You tried to do blackface and the shit fell flat and it wasn't fucking funny. To be honest, you look better as a black man than you ever did as a fucking white one. Let's start there. Wow. You're trying to, you're, you can't compete where you don't compare, and you or Drewski don't even belong in the same sentence. So white people need, we could do blackface. Now, bitch, y'all been fucking doing it. But the difference is, and y'all are so, y'all are so dense. Y'all don't want to look at the facts and look at it for what it really is. Drewski parodies everybody. You white bitches did blackface for hundreds of years in a defensive derogatory way, derogatory way, making fun of slaves and making money off of this shit. Yeah. Drewski was doing cultural studies. And plus, again, if you're gonna do it, even when I think about Tropic Thunder with Robert Down and June, that shit was fucking funny. I can't lie, Tropic Thunder is fucking hilarious. But why are y'all so mad at Drewski? But y'all wasn't mad when Drewski played the white boy who hangs out with black people. Y'all weren't mad at the Wayans for doing white chicks. Why were y'all so y'all were y'all mad at y'all God and savior, Erica Kirk? Because it wasn't Charlie, because again, Erica Kirk more mad at the nigga who parried her than the motherfucker who shot or quote unquote shot her husband, which allegedly I feel like she did, allegedly, allegedly. But because the bullets didn't match the gun. Let's not forget that.

SPEAKER_05 36:11

Yeah. They don't want to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_06 36:12

Never in my life did I think I would agree with Candace Owens. I'm in the upside down like Stranger Things, but the bitch is right about that.

SPEAKER_04 36:18

We're all in the upside down right now. And you get y'all motherfuckers got us agreeing with motherfucking Candace Owens, the last Tucker Carlson.

SPEAKER_06 36:26

Crazy.

SPEAKER_04 36:27

Damn, what the fuck are we doing? We are really in the upside down. Shout out to Stranger Things, though. Um, but it's it. Jake Paul.

SPEAKER_06 36:38

Tension whore.

SPEAKER_04 36:40

Well, yeah, we know he's an attention whore. Him and his brother, but Jake Paul takes it up to another level where you have been wanting to be black. The chains, the cars, hanging around black people all day and every day, uh, you, you, you know, being swagged out, getting your hair cut like a motherfucking black man. You want to be black. And that's why, that's why when your ass got beat by a real black man, you was like, damn. Yeah, Anthony Joshua beat your ass.

SPEAKER_06 37:14

So that's why I didn't even share or give you attention. The only thing I shared with you was you getting your ass whooped by Anthony Joshua, and it looked a little bit like this. How you like that?

SPEAKER_04 37:29

And I think you really liked it. I like he you like getting your ass beat by a black man. It it is like, because here's the thing. Jake Paul, you love black culture. You love it. If you didn't love black culture, you wouldn't be dressing the way you dressed. You wouldn't be in the cars that you are in, you wouldn't be trying to get the haircuts that black people get. Come on now. Come on. Then you go on fucking Theo Vaughn, and that's a whole nother fucking story over there. And Theo Vaughn was like, uh, I mean, you uh you you go ahead and do that. He said, he said, don't he said, don't give me no fucking baton, baby. I listen, if you do it, I I might laugh, but hell shit. I ain't I ain't I'm not doing that with you, my boy.

SPEAKER_06 38:19

Theo Vaughn said, I just can't dance for y'all. That's it. I'm not doing this shit with you. He said, I'm not. See, that's another example of white people trying to do what we do, but they fail fucking miserably, and then they get mad, then they'll get the reaction one. Bitch, you fucking suck, and it wasn't funny. You weren't, you were never the funny brother. You're the brother who got famous off of the kill to his brother who actually had a career, but you just got drug along.

SPEAKER_04 38:44

Correct.

SPEAKER_06 38:46

You either like getting your ass people on black men or you like paying for them to lose. So shut the fuck up.

SPEAKER_04 38:50

And we still didn't forget about you filming that whole um, that whole scene of uh well, what was the deal with that?

SPEAKER_06 38:57

The suicide force was in Japan, because you have no respect.

SPEAKER_04 39:00

Yeah, we didn't forget about that. Yeah. Anywho, let's get back to black people. Um LeBron James.

SPEAKER_06 39:12

LeBron James. Listen, I Memphis on his motherfucking head. I told you. What Lilae say, you from Cleveland. But he's from Akron, though. He's from Akron.

SPEAKER_04 39:24

Um yeah. Let me just post this video. Um, we'll let y'all hear this video, sorry. Let's see.

SPEAKER_00 39:34

Saying what the fuck with I'm saying what the fuck with I at 41 years old. And think I'm gonna do that shit being in Memphis on a fucking random ass Thursday. I'm not like the first guy to even talk about an NBA. Like, we all like, you guys have to move. Just go over to Nashville. Got the you got Vanderbilt over there, you got the fucking NASCAR, you got a stadium. Don't they got a hockey team too? Yeah, yeah, predators. Like, they've got everything. Doesn't look like LeBron's gonna be on the Grizzlies anytime soon, so Grizzly fans are out there. Yeah, they know. Their only chance is in 2003 if they'll won the lottery. And I might have pulled a Eli Nanny and not showed up.

SPEAKER_04 40:19

So LeBron. I'm gonna tell you from a nigga that is born that was born in Nashville, the standpoint that I have. Nashville and Memphis are like first cousins. Okay? The black people, that's what I'm talking about. Um niggas know niggas in Memphis, just like niggas in Memphis know niggas in Nashville. And if you would have asked any niggas in Nashville, they would have told you to keep your motherfucking mouth shut about Memphis. Because what you're not gonna do, niggas in Nashville don't play about Memphis either. You were surrounded by a bunch of white boys, and you were talking shit about a historic iconic black city, which is Memphis.

SPEAKER_06 41:16

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 41:18

I'm gonna say this again. You were around a bunch of white boys talking about black people's business.

SPEAKER_06 41:27

That's what bothered me the fucking most.

SPEAKER_04 41:30

Go ahead, folks.

SPEAKER_06 41:31

That's no, go no, please keep on, but that I was finna say that's you can say what you want to say, because again, I feel like sometimes people that are not from the south, and again, I know we're talking about Tennessee, but as a southern collective, southern people tend to be on the same page. You can't be a motherfucker from the West Coast, East Coast, and the Midwest. You talk about people from Texas, Alabama. I'm gonna look at you real fucking crazy. Except when it comes to sports, I don't give a damn. But in general, you're not talking about my southern brothers and sisters. So I feel like it's an air of upper elitism for them to look down on southern people. I'm just like, LeBron, come on, bruh. You in a room full of fucking whiteies. Like, sir, you've been bald.

SPEAKER_04 42:13

The fact that you talked about Memphis as a as iconic as Memphis is, you talking about being in Memphis on a random Thursday night. Nigga, niggas travel to Memphis on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday every fucking day of the week to go to Memphis to experience Memphis. What the fuck are you talking about right now?

SPEAKER_06 42:38

Crazy work.

SPEAKER_04 42:40

You're not know. Have you never heard of Bill Street? Have you never heard of the fucking like it's just so many things to do in Memphis, but you wouldn't know that because the only time you're in Memphis is when you're playing a game. And then you talked about, oh, I'm standing at the fucking Hyatt. A white boy even went to the Hyatt and made a video about NBA stars stand at the Hyatt. I think it's the Hyatt centric or something that's close to the stadium. Nigga, those rooms are, nigga, those rooms are amazing.

SPEAKER_06 43:14

Expensive.

SPEAKER_04 43:15

Expensive as fuck, but they're amazing.

SPEAKER_06 43:17

Oh, for sure. Beautiful.

SPEAKER_04 43:19

And you mean to tell me you can't find shit to do in a black city? Because you never had the chance to explore Memphis. But you sitting here around a bunch of white people talking about, talking shit about Memphis. And if your friends, your black friends were your real motherfucking friends, they would have texted you be like, hey.

SPEAKER_06 43:41

But I think at this point, I'm starting to really believe, because allegedly, you know, LeBron been cheating on Savannah with a white woman. Allegedly, so that's the real reason why he don't like white, well, Memphis because there's no white woman there. But allegedly at this point, most black men have reached that.

SPEAKER_04 44:00

Level of capitalism.

unknown 44:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 44:02

That level of that black capitalist uh tree.

SPEAKER_06 44:06

Like it's giving Kanye. It's giving it like it's just, I just was so turned off. And it's just like, all that shit you preached, like, my nigga, what we? But then again, it's just like, I don't expect nothing from a black capitalist. And then it's just like you don't or do something about it.

SPEAKER_04 44:26

If you feel that way about Memphis, then do something about it. You got the money, LeBron. You built schools. You bit you built schools in Aklan. Won't you do, won't you help the why don't you partner with the black community associations in Memphis? Won't you do something about it? I get so fucking tired of black capitalists and black people in general that have so much to fucking say and got money. Why don't you do something? Put your money where your motherfucking mouth is, bitch.

SPEAKER_06 44:52

He's not gonna do that because it doesn't benefit him directly, or it benefits his white donors.

SPEAKER_04 44:58

Of course.

SPEAKER_06 45:01

But again.

SPEAKER_04 45:02

And that's what I have a problem with. You niggas always talking shit, but don't never want to help because your donors and the people that you partner with, they're like, whoa, you shouldn't do that. And most of them are white. It's not a good look. It's not a it's not a good look to help a black city out.

SPEAKER_06 45:18

But then again, you know, that's the black city that's pumping all the life force in the AI. So that doesn't meet their agenda.

SPEAKER_04 45:25

So I'm just so tired of this whole situation.

SPEAKER_06 45:32

When you be, when you don't be with Savannah, you always say some dumb shit.

SPEAKER_04 45:37

Because Savannah keep that nigga on lock, baby, when they would when they together. Don't talk too much. Because as a black woman, don't talk too much. Don't be around.

SPEAKER_06 45:46

Savannah be giving him that speech in the car. You better lay it though.

SPEAKER_04 45:51

There was a scene, and I don't know if you guys watch, on Southern Hospitality. It's a show on Bravo, but it's these two, it's just like three or four, I think, black characters. Um, not characters, but like people on this reality television show. But it's this uh black girl, her name is Janet, I don't know what it is, but she was arguing with this gay black man. I think his name is Mikos or something like that, but she ended up telling a group of white people his business and shit like that, and he got really mad, and then she called her mom, and her mom was like, Why the fuck are you talking telling white people about black people's business?

unknown 46:31

Mm-mm.

SPEAKER_04 46:33

She started crying, she said, You know better than that. Why are you tell why are you in a room full of white people talking about black people business? I taught you better than that. Like she got on her ass.

SPEAKER_06 46:46

As she should have. And here's the shit just need to stay in-house.

SPEAKER_04 46:50

Thank you.

SPEAKER_06 46:51

And that's the difference between us and everybody else. When white people beef, they keep that shit in-house. Not that's why I hate reality TV, because they're not gonna put their white asses in such a negative light where it stirs up conversation. Like Hispanic people in-house, Asian people in-house, and they be on one accord to the public and they might fucking hate each other, but they know how to be on the same sheet of music. We don't act, we don't, we're not socialized to act that way.

SPEAKER_04 47:19

And I think for because, you know, them, them, them, them white reality shows, you got the Real Housewives of New Jersey, the Real House Brother Brothers, they be putting their business out, but at the same time, they be on one accord after that bullshit. See, us as reality television, you know, when we put our families in there in the middle and everything like that, after the show done ended, we still beefing. Come on now. Come on now. It's a show. And when that, when that when her mama said, baby, you why is you in a bunch, why, why is you telling black people business to a bunch of white people? Don't do that. And that's how I felt. I seen that clip, and then I said that's after I seen the LeBron clip, and I said, you know what? That's exactly how I felt. You a bunch of around a bunch of white boys talking about black people business. And when Memphis got on your ass, all of a sudden I didn't.

SPEAKER_06 48:15

That ain't what LeBron said. He wasn't, that ain't what I said. And double down on the shit.

SPEAKER_04 48:20

Yeah. He's like, I didn't say that. I just said that, you know, da da da they could be better.

SPEAKER_06 48:25

I'm like, okay, receding hairline. Go on.

SPEAKER_04 48:31

Who is this? I had this whole job to get on. Yes, honey. But um So Memphis. That's that that's honestly LeBron. I I feel like I could have told you, nigga, Memphis was gonna get in that ass. Nashville, the state of Tennessee was gonna get in that ass.

SPEAKER_06 48:48

And when and they don't forget, when he the next time you come down there and play a game, they're gonna be on his ass. Because can't nobody join like people from Chicago or Memphis. It's a rap. You're done.

SPEAKER_04 49:00

Listen, when Memphis, when niggas from Memphis start, they don't stop.

SPEAKER_06 49:04

Hey, man. It's a rap. Go ahead and pack it up. Put your hairline in the suitcase and go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 49:12

They are the two newest cast members of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Shout out to both of those amazing women. K Michelle came in and said, bitch, ooh, what is this?

SPEAKER_04 50:06

And I remember she was talking to Jason Lee and she said, she was like, Well, you talking about Giselle and Robin. She said, I don't give a fuck about that couch potato. She said, she can't even keep a fucking job.

SPEAKER_02 50:24

SPEAKER_04 50:27

She said, she said, in Jill uh uh Just Evil, she's talking about Giselle. She said, let me tell you something. My accomplishments trumps all of y'all's. She said, whatever y'all got going on, I got gold records, I got platinum records, I got a day in Houston. That's the name for me. She said, I don't even go to Houston like that. And I was like, damn Kay. She was like, I am a singer. I make money from singing, not selling merchandise. I said.

SPEAKER_06 50:57

Cambridge Dale was on stage, even though I'm not a fan, but Cambridge Dale was on stage with Joe Roll again in a standing ovation from white people in the country. She got more accepted in the country than Beyonce did, and that says something. So y'all not finna. And then Drew Sidor sent her punk ass up there. I've heard of her. She said, girl, you've been the girl. You know she's a singer. Girl, you you did a stint on the fucking game. You're more known for that little split-second stint you did on the game than you were in a TLC movie. Lil Mama was known for her performance in the TLC movie.

SPEAKER_04 52:30

Oh, we love you, K Michelle. Uh, Pinky Cole got on Real Housewives of Atlanta. She is, y'all know her from Slutty Vegan. Remember that time when we went to uh when she was up here for Slutty Vegan and everything was going on? She talked about that on the podcast, how like nobody knew like her business was struggling, that she was losing her business. And she was saying that things just, you know, wasn't going her way. So now she's bought her business back, right? Slutty vegan, and now they're expanding and they have the capital to do what they need to do now. Um, but she was on a couple of other podcasts basically explaining, like, hey, like, you know, even with this company, as big as it is, I made mistakes. And you have to own up to that, and you have to ask for help. And I appreciate a person of that stature that says, shit, I need help too, hell. I might be on these covers of these magazines and shit like that, but hell, I'm struggling. And I love that. So shout out to Pinky Cole, shout out to K-Michelle. Um, I will be watching and tuning in to this season of Real Housewives of Atlanta because I feel like it's it's giving kind of like the old school, like kind of like sisterhood vibe. So I'll be tuning in. I'll be tuning in.

SPEAKER_04 55:34

Sam uh Levitsen or something like that. Well, yeah. Anywho, Zendaya was on the red carpet looking flawless. Style by Law Roach, of course. Shout out to Law Roach. I think, honestly, I think he is so fucking entertaining. Like he is so fucking entertaining. Yes, love Law. But she was on the red carpet, and Sam was like, Oh, I want you to take a picture or something. He was asking her to do something, and her public was like, no, no, we have to go, we have to go, we have to go. Now, this is the director and the, you know, producing everything. Zendaya's public was like, fuck no, we gotta go. Pulled her away. And with the red carpet, it seemed like the whole cast was in good spirits, but you could tell that the cast was separated on purpose.

SPEAKER_06 56:28

I know there's they're saying that Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya have issues with each other.

SPEAKER_02 56:33

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_06 56:34

They was like, oh, it was just so funny how the media was trying to twist it like, oh, um, what's her name? Zendaya avoids Sydney Sweeney. Zendaya don't have to avoid nobody. She don't have to avoid beautiful gowns.

Anyways. Um, so I'm gonna read y'all a little uh excerpt of basically uh where is this from? It is New York Post. You know, sometimes they get it right, sometimes they get it wrong. Um Euphoria Season 3 is an unhinged disaster review. There's a moment in Euphoria Season 3 when Cassie, Sidney Sweeney, uh shrinks it um and says, What is happening right now? And that sums it up as a whole. You'll be saying the same thing as you watch every other scene. The hit HBO show's Long Await a return is an off-rails roller coaster of insanity. Whether that's good or bad depends on if you want to see the Gen Z superstars Zendaya, Jacob Belordi, and Sweeney in luxurious, uh ludicrous, sorry, ludicrous situations that feel like breaking bad meat to looney tunes. Here's the thing about this fucking cast. All of these people are grown. They have a lot going, right? Jacob Alordi about to be an Oscar nominee, Oscar nominated films. Zendaya, Dune 3 probably gonna be Oscar nominated.

SPEAKER_06 58:29

I say Jacob Balordi definitely is one of the things. He's in his dad.

SPEAKER_04 58:33

When I tell you, he's probably he's probably the most because when Jacob Balordi started Euphoria, he didn't have a lot going for him. Now the tides have changed. I think, you know, with Zendaya, Jacob Ballordi, uh, and Sydney Sweeney, I think all of them have these big, you know, separate movie entities, right?

SPEAKER_06 58:57

Alexa Demi should have got the career Sydney Sweeney had. Shit, even Barbie Fietna, but I digress.

SPEAKER_04 59:03

You know, I was just talking to one of my coworkers about that, and they said that felt like a destiny swap. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 59:08

Honestly, Alexa didn't, and even as a person who don't fucking watch Sephora, I just I don't watch stuff without full black women in it. But I'm just like, I all my eyes was always on her.

SPEAKER_05 59:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 59:23

Or Zendaya or fucking Barbie. Even fuck I was more drawn to Hannah Schaefer than I fucking was. Sydney Sweeney added nothing. She was a dynamic, she wasn't pretty like the other girls to me. Correct. Her genes didn't stick, her genes didn't stick through. Um and she was just I feel like the watching euphoria and seeing Sydney Sweeney be a main, I just feel like that's just was what it's like working with me and yoga white girls. It's just like there's nothing there. I I just I didn't understand.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:00

I wish Alexa and you know what, in the future is still bright for Alexia. I I I think and I really couldn't put my because the same thing that you just said, like Sydney Sweeney, like Alexia should have had what Sydney Sweeney, all the movies and the the the the different, you know, uh features and stuff like that. I felt like to me, Alexia's the star.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:27

Yeah, Alexa Demi is a star.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:29

She is definitely a star, and I want more for her. Um I feel like I think after this season, I feel like a lot of people, because I feel like a lot of people are gonna be looking at her different after the season is over, Euphoria. Um Jacob will already, of course, he already has his, you know, he's he's going up there, right? You know, he'll probably win an Oscar in a couple of years. Zendaya, she is probably gonna win an Oscar as well, but I just, for Alexi, I just want her to um get the movies that she's destined for.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:05

I would love to see her play into her Spanish, you know, heritage more.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:11

You know what? If go ahead.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:13

Go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:14

I was gonna say, if they ever, if they ever make like a a Selena type of, not like a series, not her actually playing Selena, but like maybe one of her cousins. I don't know. I just feel like there's so many ideas that could be thrown out to her, or just like, I feel like she's destined to do a lot of roles. You know? I feel like I could see her doing romantic comedy. I see, I feel like she can be in a thriller.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:42

I would love if the Hispanic community got their own um rom-com or I don't want her to do nothing to Selena because I feel like Selena let my girl rest in peace. She has a lot of things about her life, and I feel like I'm not a J-Lo fan anymore, J Lo did that movie justice.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:59

Yeah, yeah. But I think I think there needs to be more Hispanic rom-coms as well. I I agree with you.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:04

There's Hispanic representation in movies and stuff too, but you know, I'm black, I'm not a POC, so I'm gonna leave that alone. But fun fact about Alexa Demi, I was watching um my YouTube music was playing in the background. I have a video playlist of my favorite videos. I used to be obsessed with uh Azealia Banks, and I'm so sick that she's fucking the Zionist now. But Azealia Banks, I used to be obsessed with the ATM Jam music video. Alexa Demi is one of the girls in Azealia Banks ATM Jam. I got Rax, Rax, Rax in the ATM.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:40

Oh, she is. You know what I can see, I I can see Alexia like uh like doing a lot of things in fashion. Um, I can see that too. And also, she, you know what? To be honest, she should have been in fucking Dev the Devil World's Prada 2.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:55

First of all, as somebody who watched the first one, OG Devil World's Prada fam, yeah. What the fuck are these designs? Um I'm looking at it from um, I'm not even a fashion girl here.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:09

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:10

But it's falling flat. A lot of people like this is gonna be a horrible sequel.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:17

Oh shit, I hope not. I hope not, but hey, if it is, it is, you know. I they waited so long to do a sequel. You know what I'm saying? And I think with fashion and what it's looking like now, it's like, honestly, ain't nobody got listen, we don't have the money to be buying all this shit. We don't.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:39

But my whole thing is this too. Can we just fucking leave sequels? Like, y'all have so many people that want to be filmmakers that have original ideas. Y'all don't allow black people to get half of the movies made that they want to get. Can we stop fucking doing sequels and remakes? Can we get original ideas and movies and music and scores again?

SPEAKER_04 1:04:00

They don't care about that. All they care about is profit.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:02

I'm missing the soundtracks for movies. Because my favorite soundtrack for a movie, I love the Love Jones soundtrack. In my opinion, Above the Rim have one of the best hip-hop soundtracks. Like, we don't even have soundtracks for fucking movies.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:18

No, we don't. We don't. They just put them on fucking movie island, and there it is. No soundtrack, no, because there's no originality. It's either a sequel, a third, a fourth, or fifth, or it's just uh another adaptation.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:32

I'm just like even with certain movies, like you know, certain movies with their song, like when I think about Will Smith, I'ma think about Men in Black and I'ma, I'ma think about Dangh, it's a minute.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:46

I know the whole thing, you know what I'm saying? Or the Wild Wild West.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:50

Yeah, Wild Wild West. Or you think about what's another movie in Songness, or cars, even the cartoon, life is a highway. Yeah, you know, people don't even have songs associated with it no more.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:05

It's all about the capitalists, it's all about the shareholders and what they want, and and that's why ticket sales are drowning. Because why do I want to keep on going to see a sequel? A third, a fourth, a fifth. Like, fast, I'm sorry, I know some people are gonna hate me for this, but the fast and the furious should have been canceled after the fifth. It should have been dead after the fifth film. After the fifth film, it should have been done.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:28

I'm sorry. If Paul Walker died, that shit should have been done.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:31

That last film, it should have been done, honoring Paul Walker. Yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:36

That's him.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:36

You're right, because now it's just like, what the fuck are we watching?

SPEAKER_06 1:05:39

I feel like I'm gonna be eighty years old when the new fucking Fast and Furious and y'all bitches in there race drive uh racing damn walkers and shit. Like, sir, no pun attended the Paul Walker recipes.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:50

Right.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:51

But what I need the shareholders to do, mm hmm, stop eating babies and forcing people on the casting couch. Thank you.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:57

Oh, well, that too. Moving on, shout out to the whole cast of Euphoria, Alexia. I have big just hopes for you. I know you're gonna kill it. You know, I know there's gonna be that one director that's gonna be like, come here, let's get you this role. So shout out to the whole cast of Euphoria. Um other news, Brandy's memoir uh Phases is the number one, number one, number one New York Times bestseller. I can see, honestly, I can see Brandy getting a Grammy from this book because she let that shit out. And you know what? Good for her. Good for her. Because the way that Dark Child. Huh?

SPEAKER_06 1:06:52

I got one critique.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:54

The way I'm gonna say this, the way that Dark Child did Brandy when they was in the studio and told and told her that I'm gonna go work with Beyonce and sell five million records.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:04

I got you. Well, I'm gonna make this$5 million of Beyonce. You do nigga, we know you because of Brandy.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:11

Correct. And then y'all wanna sit up here and act like, well, you know, Brandy this, Brandy that. The shit that she had to deal with, and then the Kanye shit, when Kanye had already sent the fucking record off talking about crazy. So at that time, I'm like, nigga, you're a producer. You're talking to a fucking this is Brandy.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:32

A legend.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:33

Brandy, a legend. And see, I'm so glad she aired this shit out because these motherfucking people are horrible. And it made me look, and listen, Kanye, whatever this journey that he's on right now, whatever he's trying to do, I hope it listen.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:52

I've been checked out that nigga ever since he did.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:54

I hope I I listened. I listened to you.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:58

Oh, Jesus. Well, Kanye, I'm just starting to fall. You just started to fall out with his ass. For real, LeBron! What are we fucking talking about? Let that nigga go.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:11

Let that nigga go. So who? And here's the thing. Here's the thing. He's not been the same. He's not been the same. We know that.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:20

That nigga cancel his ass. Just like y'all.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:23

But he was doing shit even when his mom, even, even when his mama was alive. He was doing this shit. He was doing this crazy ass shit.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:32

Ciao.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:32

And when I when I read that and when I listened to the Audible with her, I was like, oh, bitch. I would have lost my shit up in that motherfucking studio. Kanye would have had a motherfucking black eye plan with me, bitch. Me, Brandy motherfucking Norwood Ho.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:50

Brandy Ranger Norwood. Don't get it fucked up.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:53

Don't get it fucked up.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:55

Okay. I have a critique. The only thing that wasn't in that fucking memoir was that note Whitney Houston handed to you right before she died. That's what the girls want to know. Shout out to my sister Kat McCandis. She that I know that'll probably never see a lot of day, but Whitney handed her that note and died the next day. Supposedly her brother was at the scene. Well, Brandy's brother, Ray J.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:22

If Brandy wanted to air this shit out, she could have aired it all the fuck out.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:28

Because I really five Davis is still alive. That's probably why she didn't say nothing about it.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:32

Yeah. Yeah. I feel like that's why I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:37

Come to the forefront.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:38

Let it go, bitch. Let it go.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:41

You said up there you tried to do damage control years ago because you probably figured that after a while this will go. People knew back then that you were 22 fucking a 16-year-old. But see, this is where I kind of blame her parents because y'all were so Brandy's image. You made her lie about getting married because she got pregnant before marriage, which was okay because she was grown. It happens every day. Half of us was born to people that weren't fucking married. But why the fuck? Where were y'all at when she was using Yay as a confidant that he confident out of his way into fucking her at 16 and he's 22 years old? Where were y'all at?

SPEAKER_04 1:10:17

I'll say this. When Monica was talking to Michelle Obama on her podcast, Monica says, I understand so much from Brandy now. Because when she was growing up, she had to be perfect. She said, I could do what I want to do. And I think that's why me and her clashed, because she said, I wasn't understanding why she was always trying to be perfect. And now that I I understand that. So she's like, now I'm protective of her. Because when she was growing up, she didn't have, you know, she just couldn't do what she wanted to do. Because at the time, she was doing studio albums and she was filming a whole fucking like she was feel she was doing television at the same exact time.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:02

And movies, because don't worry.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:03

And movies.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:04

Don't feel like that.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:05

She said, yeah, yeah. Wow, we never, we listen, hold on. Her dysography is come on now.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:11

But I think the thing that killed me though, the thing that kills me is, yeah, her mama then was on her, especially her mom, because her image, but her image to what? Just make y'all money? Because y'all weren't concerned for her safety. Cause again, she's 16. Why is she looking at fucking Wanya Norris as a fucking confidant? You got your 16-year-old daughter in in subliminal battles with a grown ass woman like Adina Howard. And I honestly, you know, just think reading like, and that, and I'ma just give a sneak peek. Our book club for Sisters in Sink, sinking in the minds were reading this next month.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:55

I really want to know did Adina Howard know she was 16 when she was going back and forth with Brandy over Wanye. Because you know, niggas lie and lie all the time. So you don't know what the fuck he was telling Adina. Because because of Brandy and the beef that she had, because she was sleeping with Wanye too. She got blackballed in the music industry. So I would love for that to be revisited. Do a podcast.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:19

Yeah. I I think, I think, you know, even on her show Moesha even on her show Moesha, there were people telling once she messed it with Fragile Star too, and that was a big deal. Yeah, that was a big deal. Um I'll say this. Moesha. It was a lot of shit going on on the set of Moesha. I wasn't it was a lot of shit going on the set of Moesha. It was when I seen that clip of Jay-Z visiting the set, and I was like, Jay-Z, I was like, where the fuck this clip come from?

SPEAKER_06 1:13:14

I'm telling you. TJ get out. So that wasn't addressed. The Fred Joe Star was and you know what else wasn't addressed?

SPEAKER_01 1:13:28

What?

SPEAKER_06 1:13:28

Supposedly, and I'ma say allegedly, because you know how motherfuckers be tripping.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:32

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:33

Didn't Brandy kill somebody?

SPEAKER_04 1:13:37

So the car accident. Yeah. Allegedly, yes. Yes, so the car accident. So the jury found her not at fault because someone hit her in the car. You know how it was a pile up. But Brandy was the only superstar that had the money. So everybody blamed her.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:02

You don't want to know what was in the book?

unknown 1:14:04

Who?

SPEAKER_06 1:14:05

Is he gonna talk about how Brandy, the reason why Rom Romeo from um IMX has an eye patch on it? Supposedly Brandy knocked his eye out when they were kids. I wonder if that's gonna be in the book too. Well, Brandy's runs deep. I love Brandy. Ain't nobody perfect. I'm not a perfect bitch either, but her lore runs super deep. And I still and like talking to some people that's already read the book, like, and and I'm talking about these are women that I know in real life.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:39

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:40

Some of them have said there's still an air to the book that you feel like, let me keep my pristine image. Like, I'm gonna tell these secrets, but I'm only gonna tell so much. Cause I can't honestly, I'm excited. And again, we're gonna read this for our book club next week.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:57

But honestly, when Brandy becomes 70 or 80 years old and maybe she decides to do a phases part two, oh bitch, check Phil.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:05

I don't even think it's gonna take that long. I think it's gonna get give it about five or ten more years. I think she's gonna. Yeah. I think when he, I think, because here's the thing. He she was under the management of Clive Davis, I think. She was uh she was so watched, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:15:23

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:25

Her producers on the Set of Moisha told her, hey, we're gonna tell Cheryl Lee Ralph to take one of her braids out because that's your signature, like your signature hairstyle on the show. Cheryl Lee Ralph said, I'm not doing that. He said, Well, Brandy, the producers told Cheryl Lee Ralph that Brandy wants you to take it out. And see, that's the shit that I'm talking about because the producers started that shit on set of Moesha.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:53

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:54

And it's it's ever since, and I think Brandy, once that person, you know, once Clive, you know, I think she is going to air a lot of shit out and be like, these motherfuckers have always started shit with me and another person and other people. And they have tried to taint my motherfucking image or try to, you know, and I just feel like every time Brandy has been in a situation back in the day, it's always been other people involved. It's always been other people involved because they know she was the goody two shoes girl.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:26

Or she was conceived as the black girl next door.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:29

Correct.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:30

That's how they kept her image.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:32

Correct. And I think now she's finding Brandy is now at the age that she is, she is now finding who Brandy really is. And I have to commend her for that because again, having a brother like Ray J, right? Having a brother like Ray J and doing and Ray J doing what he's uh he does, right? And having to continue to keep this perfect girl image, and then having the parents that she had that really kind of, I don't want to say they worked her because she was the cash cow. When you are the cash cow, she still is the cash cow, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:17:13

I was about to say shit.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:15

She still is the cash cow. When you are the cash cow of your family, I mean, it is what it is. And that's why I have so much respect for her. Have respect for her and Monica because the way that they grew up, you know, Monica had her own. I'm ready for her to have her book out too.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:31

Oh, bitch. Oh. I want to hear everything about C Murder.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:37

Because listen, not you said C Murder. I listen, I want Monica to come out and be like, listen, this is what happened. Because I remember when Brandy and Monica were doing the verses, and she said, Yeah, like me and Usher was gonna do another song, but he didn't want to do a song with me. I don't know what happened. And Brandy was like, oh, that's crazy. Like, what happened? And Monica was like, Well, we ain't gonna get into all of that. And Brandy was like, Oh, she was like, I'll tell you after the verses. I said, Oh shit. So, yeah, I um congratulations to Brandy on a you know, New York Times bestseller. I feel like she's gonna win a Grammy for the Audible um arrangement on this book. Um, shout out to her. Let's see, what we what else we got going on in the words of Cynthia Bailey.

unknown 1:18:28

Uh-uh.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:30

What else is going on? Oh, rock bands, you need to know. Um so I've been listening. So I've been listening to Hero of the Band. Um they're a black band from Atlanta. I know I mentioned this in a couple of episodes before, but they are, first of all, they're amazing. Um, I've also been listening to, um, let me pull it up. I had this right up here. Um The Paradox. So the Paradox, hero of the band, and also, hold on, I got my other music. Shit. I love Five Squad. You say what?

SPEAKER_04 1:19:54

It's been a minute, and we're gonna get it together, y'all. I promise we're gonna get it together. Um But you go ahead, and while I look that up, baby, let's go ahead and do the black business. You have a black business this uh this week? Yes, yes. Yeah, you go ahead and talk that. Talk about it.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:13

Yes, I want to discuss a business called Glow Nelanin. It is a black-owned skincare company. They um focus on so many different types of products that centers around melanated skin and hyperpigmentation. So I used to use them back in the day when they first came out as a company. Then I kind of stopped, but I got back into them. I'm wanting to clear my skin. They got turmeric scrubs, turmeric brightening soap, turmeric and colic acid foaming face wash. They got skin oils, ingrown oils, scrub, they got all types of stuff. I just think it's an amazing company with national ingredients and it's backed by black doctors, and it is endorsed by a lot of black dermatologists. So it's called Glow Melanin, GLO Melanin. And I think it's an amazing company, and I love um, I implemented two of their products, but I think once I finish some of my other products, I think I'm gonna order the entire line for my face and for my body. I'll still incorporate some of my career products, but I love them and the results speak for themselves, you guys. So if you're dealing with more so acne, scarring, or pigmentation, glow melanin is an amazing, amazing company. It's natural. So it does what it's supposed to do, but it doesn't like strip your skin of any moisture, it doesn't make your skin hard, and everybody's different. And I'm not a licensed dermatologist or aesthetician, but what I will say is I think they're amazing products. So if you need some glow in your life, if you're trying to get your skin even, like you know, it focuses on face, uh, your thigh area, armpits, you know, your joints, it's a great company. It's called Glow Mel.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:59

SPEAKER_06 1:24:20

So what have I been listening to? Okay, my girl Leia just came. She hasn't released any music since 2024. Her song Luber, which is her take on Uber, amazing. She encapsulates the 90s so well in a modern way. She films, writes, produces, arranges, vocally sets. She does everything herself. Amazing. Love Leia. Um, I want to talk about, I'm a huge Key Glock fan, so his new single loc, his new single loco, is my shit. Um I want to talk about Elmin. He's an RB soul singer. His new album, Sounds for Someone. I love he has a collaborate, a collaboration with Rafael Sadiq called Light by the Window. Amazing, amazing work. Love him down. Can we get into My Girl Ray? Her album, This Music May Contain Hope, My God on Today, and my Dominique Morgan voice. I love the entire album. In particular, um, I hate the way I look today, Winter Woman, Nightingale Lane. She has a fucking collaboration with the legend, Al Green. The song she wrote with her granddad, Michael Fields, had me in tears. Ray is impeccable, and I cannot wait. If she ever goes on tour in the United States, I think I'm gonna try to catch that. Even though I said no concerts this year. So I'm trying to not spend as much money, but she is worth it. I have been stuck on the song Motion Party by Boss Band D'Lo. Is the motion party you're gonna get in? Nah, who I don't drink. I'm gonna give a shout-out to Alex Isley when the city sleeps. First of all, Alex Isley is like hot chocolate on a cold winter snowy day. Her voice is amazing. She has been doing music at least since 2010 dropping. And I feel like she's just getting her just due. She is the daughter of the legendary, I think, Ernie Isley and the niece of Donald Isley. And when I say she got that talent for singing in that soprano, beautiful, airy way, I definitely love her. If you like Janae Eko, I think you'll like Alex Isley. I love her music. I've always been a huge fan. Um, I want to give a shout out to Ty Dallasign, Girl Music Volume 1, Love It Down.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:54

And there's a song with him and Brandy on that, right? Yes. I think so.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:02

Yes. I love that one. I love Intention, but my favorite song on that is Miss You Two with Leon Thomas.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:08

Oh my God.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:10

First of all.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:10

I mean, Leonatan, uh, Leon Thomas is a genius, anyways.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:14

Leon Thomas is definitely gonna be, and I don't want to compare him because Leon Thomas is Leon Thomas, but I can definitely see him once he gets older in his career. I cannot wait to see him produce for other people. I feel like he'll be a Raphael Sadiq, his own right. His music that he makes on his own will be incredible and technical. He's an instrumentalist, but he produces and writes as well.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:39

So I cannot wait to see where his career goes. And last, but certainly not least, I want to give a huge shout out to um my girl, Tiana Major 9. She her debut album is just coming out in 2026. Like my girl is. Known for same space collide was her biggest hit with my boy from Earth Game. Yeah. But her new album, I think it's called Is it called Scorpio? Let me see. She's a British singer, and I feel and here's just my feeling. I feel like she don't get as much play. Because you know, they say British RB is trending, is it's great, which it which it is, but I don't think she gets as much play because she's a chocolate sister. So please go listen to November Scorpio. Every song is fire. I love her collaboration she has with Yebba. Oh my girl, Yebba released a new album as well. And I think the difference with this album is not as RB driven as her previous albums, but I appreciate it. Cause you know, she's from West Memphis, Arkansas.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:48

Um West Memphis, Arkansas.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:51

Yeah, this album isn't as um RB driven.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:57

But I do enjoy it. So shout out to my girl, Yeah, but that's that's all the new music that I have been into. And I can't lie. Last, and and I'm gonna mention this, I'm gonna shut up for real. I know we canceled Daniel Caesar. I know, y'all. I fucking know it. But baby, his album, the last album that he just did, the um it came out of 2023, but the son of Spurgy. Crazy. Love it. But I love all of his music though. I'm a huge Daniel Caesar fan. You know he just.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:28

I think Daniel Caesar has learned um a great lesson in the black community. I think he, you know, I listen, and I'm gonna be I'm gonna be fucking honest with you, right? I feel like everyone deserves, especially black people in general. Um, and that's who I'm who I'm fucking talking about. I feel like black people deserve chances, right? As long as you if you're not a pedophile, uh you know what I'm saying? If you're not a pedophile, uh a wife, a white beater, like you know what I'm saying? I if as long as you don't hit women and you're not a fucking pedophile, I just feel like and you're not running, you're not running a sexual, um a sex ring or anything like that. I feel like you deserve a chance. Well, hey.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:33

Can you say goodnight to the pod? Say goodnight.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:38

Good night.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:39

I love you.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:40

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:41

That that's a good one. Good night, night. Good night.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:07

That, ladies and gentlemen, is my nephew. My precious, precious nephew, you guys.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:12

I'm so glad you you have so baby, you're auntie over there.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:18

That's my baby, honey.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:20

Yeah, yeah. Meanwhile, I got uh almost five grown nieces and nephews.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:25

That's insane.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:26

And I'm a great uncle, yes. I have Oh man. Yes, five, almost five grown nieces and nephews. Uh, two, you know, the smaller ones, right? A niece and nephew from my my little brother, and then I have three great nieces. And fucking insane. But back to what I was saying, like if you're not, if you're not a pedophile or you don't beat women, I feel like you, you can, I feel like there's a chance that should be given, right? Now, if you any of those, that shit over there, that we don't, mm-mm, y'all keep that keep that lock them niggas up. All right.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:00

That makes me so sad because Daniel Caesar's never enough album that came out in 2023.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:06

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:07

Fuck. That's my second favorite album from him.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:11

My thing is this, Daniel Caesar just gotta like, I don't think he understood who his audience was.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:17

That's what I think that's where people understood the impact of black American people on his career.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:22

Mmm. And that's what I mean. Because black women, you say whatever the fuck you want to say about black women, but black women are gonna support you hands down. So the last people that are gonna support you are gonna be black women. They're gonna stand, they're gonna stand with you through everything. And I think that's where he's fucked up at. So um, yeah. With me, I have I have been watching, so I watched the drama with Zendaya and Robert Patterson in the movie.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:59

How was that?

SPEAKER_04 1:33:00

That was it's an A24 film. It was a lot. Okay. Um I I'll I'll say this. A lot of people are so it did good at the box office. They spent$28 million to make it, and it grossed$28 million already. A lot of people, yeah, a lot of people are saying, like, oh, this was supposed to be like, I thought there was gonna be like a rom-com, and da-da-da. It's nothing else.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:24

If you watch the commercials, you knew it wasn't a rom-com. You bitches just be talking to y'all.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:29

They be talking out their ass. And speaking of ass, listen.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:33

Oh, God, well.

SPEAKER_04 1:33:34

I don't know how many, I do not know how many conversations we've had on this fucking podcast. Open your asshole and wipe your ass. I don't know what it is about this shit. There have been so many, there's a there's like a thread going on or something, like either uh a thread talking about grown ass men not bending over to wipe their ass.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:57

As a straight woman, I know, and again, I've only laid with a certain amount of people, so I it hasn't been in my experience. But as straight women listening to my no, I'm serious because I don't want to compare myself because I haven't had much experience. But my friends that have been active with a certain number of guys will tell you sometimes they've shut down sex because they've seen street mark on the nigga's drawings, or when he dropped, you know, when it's time to get intimate, there's so many women that have their stories of bitch, he stank. Or hey, there's shit mark. Or like he bounced that ass once he took his jeans off. Well, I'm sure he did. He had 28 years worth of funk oil and shit and piss running out his ass crack. I'm sure. Like, literally, you got truffle butter growing out your ass crack. How does that work?

SPEAKER_04 1:34:48

I just I just wanna I just want to make sure that all the niggas that are listening to this podcast, please. And then there was some comment talking about um I really feel like that's the reason why dogs don't like men half of the time.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:01

Cause you niggas stank. Oh, that's gay.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:08

It's gay to use a wipe to wipe your ass? That's crazy work. Someone said, no nigga. Someone tweeted and said, this is on Twitter. Someone tweeted and said, no nigga should be using wipes to wipe their ass. Oh, we can already tell what kind of white, what type of nigga you is. We could tell we we could already see you smell, you stink. You're a funky ass nigga.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:30

Someone's probably doing it.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:33

I didn't. So I'm just letting you guys know, you niggas know, please wipe your ass. Okay? We shouldn't be in our 20s and our fucking 30s and not understanding what hygiene is, okay? Anyway, saw the drama. Um, very, you know, A24 film, really good. I loved it. Um, I've also been listening to Don Tolliver's new album.
