• 3:44
  Speaker 1: makeup from Tea I Shadow Palace.

  Speaker 3: I do not throw them away. I do not throw
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: them out.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so the weekend was uneventful. It's uh, it's a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: great day to day though, And let's get it get
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: into the sin stupid Internet. I'm gonna change it from internet.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: So stupid internet.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Carisha Police came out with season two and we definitely
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: were like Carrisha pleased with this episode because girl.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I season one only had five episodes. Okay, really she
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: really finessing the podcast. Yes, so many episodes did you
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: see in season one?
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but they did numbers. They did numbers.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: All her episodes did really big words and she started
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: her season two with her story is who better to
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: interview her than Saucy C and ten and her bestie?
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: But I just did not I you know, I ran
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to watch it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: But I didn't get nothing.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Did you feel like it was like, ooh, she shared
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: some you know something that we didn't realize already. We
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: know you and JT ain't like that no more. We
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: know y'all probably still love each other, but it just
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: ain't what it used to be. We know you're gonna
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: stick beside Diddy because you ain't saying shit all this time.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: And out she says she not with him, so I
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: mean she probably at gonna just discard him. But as
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: far as the relationship, she at this point is self perseverance,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: So I wouldn't want to attach myself to that shit either. Okay,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: she's a smart girl for that. And like she said,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: they both used each other, so I agree.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: With But that's something we all knew, right, didn't we
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: all know that?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I wish you would. I wish they wouldn't
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: even have talked about JC, y'all. I love jt Okay.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to pick sides, but it's I don't know.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I like jt Okay and I feel like they had
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: already smashed whatever they had going on, let it go.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So they got into it. Yeah, they got into it online,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and I thought they had gotten past it, So for
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: her to then still mention, you know there, we know, y'all.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: We know, y'all, not like that. We could see it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: We could tell. I especially knew when they both was
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: on the Breakfast Club and I heard how they travel
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and from Entourage's makeup artists. They just got there separately,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and she confirmed like they they didn't really see each
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: other until they got on stage most of the times,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: like they just you can tell she lives in Yeah,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: she's in Miami. JT's in La. So they just weren't
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: on the same page with a lot of things. So
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I can kind of it's nothing new, Okay. I do
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: like that she was vulnerable a little bit. I definitely
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: understand how she says she she was she lost her person.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I imagine, all right, so when we say shit on
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: this podcast, people be attacking us for our views, imagine
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the magnitude that she gets attacked in this next level.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta have really you gotta have really thick skin,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: and you just got to be on some some fuck
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you type shit. You know, I had to tell one person,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: there's nobody in this world that can say or do
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: anything that will appease every time. You can't, right, So
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: some people whatever I say might resonate with them, and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: some people are and that's okay. You're not one of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: my people, and that's okay, But I'm not about to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: go back and forth with somebody who really, you know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: like you mad her but not to my immediate real life.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: You just don't, and they crucified Jesus.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Jesus, So.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Do this, okay, then celebrate her afterwards, you know.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: So I don't humans girl bye, Okay. I was sure
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the best of luck on all the things she has
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: going on. I think we know JT was always the rapper.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: You know, Karesha hell.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Locked up. She did hold him down.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I hope they can reconcile just enough to be sisters again,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: to get back to who they were before the money
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and the fame.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think once when certain things happen in relationships,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: is no really getting back. I have friends who I
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: consider family members, right and I don't talk to them anymore.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I still love them, but once certain things happen, is
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: like it's hard to get back. Like I can never
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: get on the phone with these bitches and tell them
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: about my life never again. I don't trust them anymore
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: in that way. So yeah, I just, you know, you
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: just deal with them from a distance kind of. So
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think that they'll probably never get back to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: what they were, but they still consider themselves family. That's
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: most important, right, So you ain't just you know, undercutting
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: each other all crazy in the public. Just keep it cordial.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: At this point, y'all moving in two different directions, and
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: it's okay. I think a lot of it is social media, right,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you allow these outside entities to disrupt the relationship you
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: have with this person that you've known way before the money,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: way before the fame, way before anybody really knew y'all,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So sometimes you just got
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to get back to the basis basics, and they probably
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: will never get back.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: I know, it was funny when she was like who
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: got left off? Bat and bougie me?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: That was funny in hell, that was funny as how
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: she was. I didn't even know nothing about it. Like now, yeah,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, y'all don't have to do everything together, you
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, even when we talk back,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: this is a platform that both of us should be
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: able to make next steps off of. Right, Everything does
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: not have to be a group effort. Okay, this is
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a stepping stone for the both of us. So I mean,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that's just how they have to look at us so
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: they can move on and be okay with each other,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: or I mean, at this point, be okay with you.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to order Kresha. Uh what is it called?
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Richa Roulet?
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Part two?
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: The first one.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Questions.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I was like, these young millennials is off the motherfucking
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Chaine because a lot of this stuff do not align
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: with my spirit and I I've never gon like it
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: was one question like fucking your mama boyfriend or something
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: That Priscilla has that game and we played it and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: it's like a lot of the cars are the same thing.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: It's like very repetitious. It's the same content on each card.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: It's like it's just it's easy. Like I wonder what
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the second one is gonna be, Like, I hope she
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: adds like, you know a little bit more substance.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but she balling, bitch.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: We need to come up with a uh.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: We talked back the card game. Yes, yeah, that sound fun.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Let's make it up or shut the fuck up. Oh yeah,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: we shut the fuck up.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: We talked.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll create that soon, all right. So I don't
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: know if y'all saw this, but I thought this was interesting.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: This black male waiter from a restaurant followed a Patriot
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: and that he had just served outside because she did
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: not provide a tip for him, and he basically confronted
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: her at her car about not leaving.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Him a tip. And I was looking at that, like,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: what in the entire fuck is happening in the United
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: States right now? Girl?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I could not imagine. That wasn't even the scary part
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: for me, right, It's the comments in the post that
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: are that's more scary to me, because a lot of
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: people thought he was okay and justified in following a
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: woman from his job to her car and confronting her
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: for not tipping him, like, sir, take it up with
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: your manager if you're not making.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Enough, right, or go get a different job.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: A lot of people, yeah, a lot of people will saying, oh,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't eat out if you can't tip, you know,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: come on, man. On top of a regular eighteen to
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: twenty five percent tip, a lot of these restaurants have
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: added extra service fees and shit like that onto your
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: bill automatically since COVID, nobody has rolled anything back that
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: they implemented after COVID. Okay, COVID is essentially over now,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: but we are stuck with a lot of, uh, just
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: different things. People are a price sclengon on every goddamn thing.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: So you mean to tell me, if I want to
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: eat out and I can only afford my meal, I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: can't afford the extra to tip. You're saying stay home.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: That's how people are didn't say it. I think I'm saying.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I assume maybe they're in the service industry.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I've never actually been in the service industry outside of
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: working in my family's restaurant, which wouldn't require tip because
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: it's like get your food and gold type shit. But
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: first of all, maybe his service wasn't that great. Her
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: thing to him was, you know, I didn't have any cash.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: He was like, oh, I got cash.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: App excuse me, I got pepper spring. Get away from
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: my car, because why are you out here with me?
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: You are neglecting to see you He probably had bad
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: service because I'm sure you got some tables right now
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: that you neglected to be outside with me asking for money.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: No, that's now.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: If that weren't my employee, find yeah, because how dare you?
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing I understand.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Tipping is proper etiquette in the United States, right it is,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: But in the event that there is no tip, you
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: are not entitled to that. The only thing that you
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: are entitled to is your minimum wage salary that the
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: restaurant pays. That is the only thing you're entitled to. Now,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: is it sucky if someone doesn't leave you a tip tip? Yes,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: but they don't owe you that. You can't follow nobody
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: out to their car to requesting free money. You're essentially begging.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Now you're outside begging.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: And it was really weird, and you're a grown ass
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: man rolling up on a woman at night time, like
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, sir, I probably like would have put my
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: pistol on my lap or something in his face, like
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: GIFN buy my car because.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Now you got a panhandling you are you outside begging?
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Go back to work?
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't do that. Yeah, I understand where he
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: would want that tip.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: That's never okay.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I understand where you want your tips. I get it
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: because you don't make nothing an hour, and I get it.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: But you don't get to do that. You should never
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: do that follow anybody about a tip.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: That's just like people like doing door dash and uber
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: eads and Instacart stuff like that. Like there there's been
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: drivers that would go back to the customer's house, you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: confronting them for not giving them a tip. So now
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: what's happening is these big companies, corporations, small business owners,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: they're now pitting the employees against the consumer because they're
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: not paying them enough. Essentially, that's what it is, because
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: maybe minimum wage for service should be a little bit
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: more to fill in the gap absolutely, you know, with
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the tips. I feel like that if you don't make
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: enough in tips for that day, there should be some
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: system in place to where they kind of offset your pay,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: right so you can at least get this a good
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: minimum wage for the evening. Like that should not The
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: owners should not be on the customer that is.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: And then the little bit that they do pay.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: People in the services industry they texting the fuck out
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: of that too, you know.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: So yeah, again that's still not just not.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Should not it should not be fair.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: To her for saying it, Like I would have felt
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: compelled to send him some money too, Like are you
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: going to attack me because you came to my car
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: he robbed?
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Much like, yeah, he's strong on her for real, for real,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Like and you know it, almost people may not this
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: might sound kind of weird, but it's almost like getting
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: your kuchie taken, you know what, I'm saying, we talked
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a lot about how.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: We talked a lot of we've talked.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Listen, We've talked about like things can be a little
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: things could be a little, ari a little. It's a
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: little bit, you know what I'm saying, Like you might
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: do some shit in a moment so you can get
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: out of this situation. That's what I felt, Like, what's
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: happening with her?
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Like she she.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Probably couldn't believe that that was.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: She just sent a cash out, because what's next? If
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I say no right here?
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: This man might hit me? What you know exactly?
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: So to me, she got robbed.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Because I didn't leave. If I wanted to leave a tip,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I would have done it in the restaurant.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like, what are you doing? What are you doing?
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Why did you think that was okay? That guy has
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: mental health issues and she probably shouldn't have played with him.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: She did, right, she didn't? She Well, if it was me,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you know, I gotta learn how to de escalate, because
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I swear to God.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I would have something that I would have did. I
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: was like, hold.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: On on that, nigga, I'm already in the garbage.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: What you gonna do?
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: He would have been holding on to what I had
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: would have held on tight because I would have hit
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: that gas.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: So hard that ship is Oh yeah, okay, but listen.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Shout out to everybody in the service industry because that
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: is hard work and the tips do help out a lot.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: You know, I get it, But don't do that. Don't
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: none of y'all do that no more? Period. Yeah.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: That that's like kind of ridiculous. Okay, So now the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: internet is in a frenzy. Just a little tad bit.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Tracy Ellis Ross, she posted a picture with some slacks
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: on and no top hole in her titties. Right. The
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: first comment I saw about it, it was a guy saying, like,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: you know, you down bad at this big age if
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you don't have a husband, and it's how you present
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: on the internet. It was something like that along those lines, right,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: And I think either it was today or yes, yesterday
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I saw that, But now today another another blog actually
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: posted it. Says Tracy Ellis Ross sparks online debate about
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: thirst strapping in your fifties with resurface topless photo. Okay,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: so she maybe maybe she didn't just post us people.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all it's just researching.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Is this pick on Tracy Ellis Ross week. But you
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: know it's attack on women. You know, we can't do
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: nothing right and nothing wrong, because if you're young and
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: posting some shit like that, it's a problem, you know
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If you do it older, it's a problem.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, what do you think.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: I think her tits look so good. First of all,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: she looks amazing first and foremost, and second like it's
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: her body to do with what with it, what she desires.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: She wasn't showing nipples, It wasn't like nasty and who cares.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I just don't see nothing wrong with it. She looks great.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Shout out to Tracy. And I think she looked great
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: because she ain't married and ain't had no kids, and
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: it just that energy just preserves you for some reason.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: That part, that part, you know, because I mean, let's
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: let's let's just not act like like relate getting married.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: It just it doesn't just complete you. Okay, that is
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: one part of your life if you happen to do it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: But like we talk all the time, I think that
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: women do look better single Like I'm sorry, I'm sorry
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: if you're not in a relationship with the right person.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: You'd be looking dragged. I feel like my last relationship,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I looked so old and he would make jokes about
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: how young he looked. Right, this nigga was literally sucking
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: my life and it's a real thing. So shout out
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: to Tracy Ellis Ross. So some of these comments, and
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: it looks like a lot of them were for women. Okay,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the first one I mentioned was a guy. Here goes
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: one comment. Someone says she's too old to be thirst trapping.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I realize I don't find shit as deep as y'all do, ever,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: because who gives a fuck? That's how I feel. And
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: it's just a guy. Let me see, he looks like
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: a guy, big king, big big bic. Okay, he said,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: ain't she like fifty? Why she got her to out?
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: What's wrong with some fifty year old titties being out? Like?
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: I'm confused. I'm confused.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Her titties look great, she looks excellent, and she feels
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: confident in her body. And what is she supposed to do?
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Not get older and not love herself anymore? Not just
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: be yourself? Whatever?
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: That looks like that's annoying because let me trust.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: And believe if these titties stay sitting up at fifty
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: y'all might see you.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not putting my titty. That's not my brand, Like,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that's not on brand for me. Like I'm not gonna
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: be naked on the internet ever, right, But if there's
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: two things with that, right, because I have made comments
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: about people just blanket statements like if you got to
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: wake up and put your ass on the internet and
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: then go work and a call, go sit on there
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: all day long on the call center, like that's something shit.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: It's just like every day. Nobody want to see your
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: ass every foll Maybe do, maybe some people do want
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: to see your ass every day, but me in particular,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Like I'm really going to unfollow you if I see
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: your ass.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: To my very first earthquake on my very first day here,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: that's scary.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I saw it screen shaking too. I started screenshaking, Yo.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: That's scared the ship out of me. I want to go.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: There's a theory that California and New York will one
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: day be detached from the rest of America because of
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: things like that earthquakes and being below sea level and yeah,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: y'all motherfuckers might float away. Yo.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: My mouth is I want to go hanging open. I've
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: never felt anything like that before.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: You never felt like a little quake before in South Carolina,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I have not like that, not like what that just was.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I heard an alarm going off. Yeah yeah girl, m
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: m mm hmm. Girls up, So I could go back
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: to the airport. Look, but back to back to the episode.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: So another comment says she she's suddenly too old to
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: be posting thirst traps. But when women in their twenties
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: post them, they are called attention seeking whores. Just say
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: you believe you have the rights of police women. Just
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: say you are narcissist. You are narcissistic enough to believe
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: this woman was performing for the male gaze. That could
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: be a thing. And another guy says this internet had
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: The Internet has destroyed everything elegant about women. Nobody ever
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: criticizes men. I mean only thing men really get criticized
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: by being broke. That's about it. They could do whatever
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: else they right, Yeah, because depending on how much money
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: you have, like you can get away with whatever. But
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: for women it don't matter. Like you got too much money,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: oh bitch, don't nobody give a fuck about your degree
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: or your money.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Fuck you bitch, you.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Don't have no money.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Oh you project ho, get off the project.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know what y'all want. I don't know what
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: y'all want, but get off of us. And Kirk Franklin
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: okay said get the.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Fuck up off of it. Yeah, Kirk.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Kirk Franklin was just on Cam Newton's podcast this week,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: and you know, he was talking about how marriage has
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: been weaponized in Western civilization because here Tracy Ellis Ross
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: is an example. She's a fifty year old woman with
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: no children, has never been wed. She's attached to a
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: couple men, you know, throughout years for fifty like a
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: couple guys maybe, and you know she's being shamed for
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: having never been married and having never had children. Kirk
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Franklin was talking to Cam Newton about this and he
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: did say marriage is a necessary distraction. I remember t
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I was saying how his marriage was a distraction. TI.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: You are where you are because of the energy of
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: time in Let's be very fucking clear. So when y'all men,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: you know, you're trying to figure out, okay, what what
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: what is? What do men get out of marriage? Everything?
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: You get everything out of marriage? Everything? Okay, So when
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: you're trying to take your life to the next level.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Consider getting a wife. How about that? So it is
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: a necessary distraction, is what he's saying. A lot of jobs,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of positions. People don't even want to see
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: y'all ass single as a man, Like where's your wife?
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: You could be the preacher of a church.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Well, now they got their husbands up.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: That's what he That's what he said.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: He was like, you can't be in ministry without a partner,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: like they'd be wanting you to be.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Well they up there what they partner? It's for real now,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: So I mean that's also different. You know, I don't
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: think nobody wants to see a single CEO of a company,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: a single president president, like like, where's your wife?
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Because with good women comes wisdom, right, So it's not
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: a bad thing. Ever, I don't know. It just seems
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: like in the black community, like we don't grasp that
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the men don't grass It's not that women don't women
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: want to be single. Is that men don't want to
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: be married?
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: For real?
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: A lot of them don't.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Baby, I just pissed my pants a little bit.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: I just don't.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: I can't even folks. I got to change my draws
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: when we get deal with.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: This and one other thing. Kirk Franklin also said he
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: said being married is not a prerequisite for God's hand men, Like,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: just because you don't get married, that doesn't mean you're
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: not going to be successful. This is I'm talking about
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: for women because they act like we can't do nothing
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: great without a man next to us, and actually, to me,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: women do pretty well without without a husband. I can't
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: say the same for men and not having a wife. Yeah,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: like y'all don't even know how to wash your clothes
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: half the time or even wash your.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Draw They haveing a thousand dollars suit and they had
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: like a little joy.

  Speaker 1: can get your hygiene up.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but some of these women be nasty
• 27:01

• 33:01
  Speaker 2: y'all had some because it was import that y'all have goals.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Because I feel like I didn't have any graduating from
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: high school. I have no major goals. I know I
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: wanted to go to college, I did not finish my degree,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: and I didn't have like I'm impressed because I didn't
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: know what the hell I wanted to do come out
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: of high school.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I think we live in a time now where entrepreneurship
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: been more pushed, and like, get into your bag has
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: been more push than when we was eighteen years old.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: When I came out of school, I was.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Like, I wanted some new lip blows and I want
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: my hair. So I'm very proud of y'all.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I definitely want us because we talk about a lot
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: about relationships on this show, so I definitely wanted to
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: get into your relationships as young women, you know, because I.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Know y'all got little things going on, and.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: So hand on, I wrote down some questions. Do y'all
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: have boyfriends?
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: I don't have a boyfriend.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: You don't have a boyfriend. What about you?
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: I had a boyfriend, You had a boyfriend?
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: How long you been with your boyfriend?
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be a year in October?
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: You would love he love?
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: You bet? It's it's some wax now, you bet it
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: say it right?
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: So why are you single?
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: Why am I single? I don't know.
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: It's like I don't think that the boys who be
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: coming for me and I don't really chase, so I
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: usually just wait.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: And the people who be coming for me, they don't
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: really live up to the standard that I won't like
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: a lot of them. They don't even have a car,
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: and I don't have a car either, So if we
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: both don't have cars, I don't think that's gonna work out.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: Somebody gotta meet somebody in the middle, like I can.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: So basically, you just want someone who's focused.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: You're focused on your goals, and you want someone who
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: has their own goals before you.
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: Or at least a car, at least a car, or
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: at least the money to give me an uber around like.
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: That.
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: I could do that, but a lot of times that's
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: just not what be going on, Like their heads just
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: be everywhere else.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: So I think the young girls usually always have a
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: car before the young young guys, So it's always somebody
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: driving somebody's daughter car somewhere.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: But don't do you feel like that's a hard expectation
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: for an eighteen year old boy.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: He's just a I do, But I mean, I just
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: want to get myself to get the first, Like, I
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: don't think that I can deal with somebody else not
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: having no car. I mean, I feel like, because if
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: you're eighteen, Like honestly, like you guys just have to
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: start getting your life together.
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: Like at this point you have to start doing something.
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: I mean, I could see if you offering me like
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: uber money or something, but you're not.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: Like a lot of just don't say you're.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Not doing it.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: So do you have a driver's license? Because I realize
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of the young boys don't even have a license.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not even interested in getting one.
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: Y'all can't be doing that. Y'all have to step up, like,
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: oh my gosh, I can't.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Never been issued a license. And half of them wonna
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: be thirty when no drive is licensed.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, the same they're gonna have licenses. So let me
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: ask you this. You say you're in love, Well, what
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: does it mean to be in love? In your opinion?
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: So to me, it's like I don't want to stay home,
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: but like you know, it's like a safe space for you.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: It's like that's who you run to when like you're
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: you just going through anything. You know, it's like a
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: comfort for you, Like it's I don't know, like it's
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: just like it's a feeling you have, like you just
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: feel so secure, you feel wanted, you feel loved, all
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: of the things that like make you feel cozy inside.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: So when you think of love is it's more about
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: how it makes you feel or how you want to
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: give love too.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: Because I know you didn't mention.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: You asked me what is it like to be?
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: What has loved me to you? But you didn't say
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: anything about No?
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Are you love right?
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Are you? Are you giving love to this person?
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: Yes I am. Man.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: In what ways? Did you say it's hot?
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: It's a little toasted, just a little bit, just a
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: little bit, just a little toasty, you know, go ahead,
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: But yes.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: I feel like I feel like in this generation and
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: like not even in generation, but like this on social media,
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: Like I feel like we put out that like men
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: are like supposed to do all of this and like
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: girls are supposed to do nothing in return, and I
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: feel like that's not true. Like I feel like everything
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: that my boyfriend does for me, and like everything that
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: I want him to do for me, I should be
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: able to reciprocate, and like also I do do that
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: for him. So I feel like, because like fifty.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: That's good. I'm glad to hear that.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I think some of the conversations we see online are
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: also from older people. Sometimes it's not from the younger
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: person perspective, because you guys are building. So when you
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: see older women online talking about relationships and what you
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: know they require and and they're hard stops, it's because
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: you expect this man to be in a certain position.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: At this point, y'all are together. You're building two young people.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Like it's given that he might not have a car. Okay,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: it's given that y'all gonna have to do fifty to fifty.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: But these conversations between adult women is just a little
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: bit different because we have higher expectations. I think I
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: always wanted to live a new set.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: I think you see adult conversations because that's your algorithm, right.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: We ain't got no young like the young conversations. I'm
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: sure they haven't them.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: We're just not seeing it because they're not directly.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: And y'all don't be talking like, no, we just don't see.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: My niece don't talk, she whispers.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: So I have another question. What are your thoughts on marriage?
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about marriage?
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like that's something that you would want
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: in the future or you feel like marriage is an
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: idea of the past, Like is it something that.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: You require or you could just be with someone like
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: is your boyfriend forever? What do you think.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say that I would be with someone
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: from my boyfriend forever. But like right now, in this
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: day and age, as a twenty year old, I'm not
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: dating to marry. Maybe like a little later in my
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: life I would be dating to marry, but right now, no,
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: But I do want to get married at some point
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: in my later days. I just feel like right now,
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: like I'm young, like I don't want to be like
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: I'm in a committed relationship, like it's definitely committed, but
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: like marriage is like full on commitment. You know, I'll
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: start everything that everything comes together as one, and you know,
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: it's just like I'm not against it. I can see
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: any young people getting married on TikTok at like twenty
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: like I been thinking it's cute, but it's not for me.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: At twenty it's not for me.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: But alright, so but you would get married.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: I do wanna get married in the future, And what's
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: a good age. I feel like t like twenty seven,
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: like my later twenties, early thirties, but I wouldn't want
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: to get married no younger than that.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: And you think the person you went right now, y'all
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: gonna make it to early late twenties, early thirties.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: My aumby asking me this all the time, and I
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: don't feel like okay, So I'm not oblivious to the
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: fact that, like we're young, so like you know, like
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: when you young, like relationships is like temporary, like you know,
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: you don't even know everything that you like right now,
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: like you you're growing and you outgrow stuff. So I'm
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: not oblivious to the fact that, like, probably not, but
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: I do, like I would love that, like you know,
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: I'm not against it, like I I love my boyfriend again,
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: like I would like to be able to grow with
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: each other versus outgrowing each other. But I'm not like
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: settling that.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: Like and what about you in Mahogany, how do you
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: feel about marriage?
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: I mean, I mean, just like women in my life
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: are really married, so I don't even really have a
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: good example about it.
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: But marriage for me, like I don't, I don't really know.
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: I mean my angle, like I want to get married
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: at one point in my life, but I don't see
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: that as like a real big goal for me because
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: I feel like I'm my own person again. That's like unity.
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: Like once you marry somebody, you just come as one.
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: And I don't know, I just want to be my
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: hogany right now.
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but maybe like when I'm twenty eight, twenty eight.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, that when your birthday it just passed, Yeah, twenty
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: ninth of July, Leo, that's Leo, right.
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: I don't know, though, I feel like marriage ties people down,
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: and you gotta accept a lot with marriage, like especially
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: from what I've seen, like people put up with a
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: lot just in the name of marriage, and I don't know,
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: I couldn't deal with it.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that's fair.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why we gonna say.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: But I desire that though, you know, that's something you don't.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't desire to grow old alone, you know.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: I mean some people are okay with that and there's
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: nothing wrong with it, But me, what about you is?
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: I think the people who are okay with growing alone
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: are the ones who have already had families, like, they
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: already had kids, they have probably already been married. Because
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: if you speak to a divorcee like a woman I
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: don't know, forty to fifty, they do not desire to
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: be married ever again. Nor they're not looking forward anyway,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: and I think because we haven't actually done things, you know,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: it might look lit, but even just cohabitating, as I
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: spoke about last week, Okay, on last week's episode, it
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: is fucking hard. So I went mahogany. When like having
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: to split yourself in half? You know you want to.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I like to say I like to be single in
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: a relationship, which could be very problematic, problematic for most people,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: but that's really how I feel, and not because I
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: want to be able to do what I want to
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: do outside of this relationship. I just want to make
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: sure I can maintain my own independence within a union.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: And when you marry, I feel like you sometimes lose
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: yourself women oftentimes I don't think men consider that, and
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: that's that could be our perception, but we do end
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: up giving up a lot to maintain relationships, that's true.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: What are your what are your thoughts on motherhood? Like,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: how do you feel about motherhood?
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: I think motherhood is very significant a persius life. I
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: think that everybody needs parenthood actually, like I think everybody
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: needs both parents. But I feel like you could raise
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: a daughter without her father, so motherhood is definitely important.
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: Like what about a son though, no, you a son
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: need his daddy, like to show to display what a
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: man's supposed to be like because because a lot of people,
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: a lot of my friends personally, they're like really misguided
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: because they don't have a father figure in their life,
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: but they have their mother. They see their mom struggling
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: and stuff, so they think it's okay for a woman
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: to be out here struggling. Like they think that's what
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: y'are supposed to do. But it's not like people need
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: they das.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: But motherhood is very important, Like you don't do you think?
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: So you said, like girl, like you can raise a
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: girl without a father. Why do you feel like a
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: girl doesn't need a father?
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: Because I mean even though even though she do, but
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: it's like nine times I tend she's gonna learn how
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: to do most of the stuff for her by herself
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: because like I don't know, it's just a woman thing,
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: Like you're gonna learn how to take care of we're smarter, yeah, yeah, like.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: Prone.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, Yeah, I don't know if that's it.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: I think it's just that that's what we've seen. We've
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: seen women do it on their own. We've seen women
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: raise women to be independent, which is a word I
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: personally hate.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't subscribe to.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: No other race of women is like strong, strong Asian
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: women or strong White women.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: It's just strong Black women.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: We've adopted this idea that we are supposed to be
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: strong and independent when we really are supposed to be
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: a unit and rely on our male counterpart. So so
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: I understand why you would feel that way, Like where
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: you see women doing it by theirselves, so you feel
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: like a woman can raise a girl to be fine
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: without a father.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: But we need fathers.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, especially as young women. When you start dating, you
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: need to know what as a woman, you need to
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: know what a good man looks like. You know what
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, And this is why I always talk to
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: men if they have a daughter. You're talking all this
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: shit about women. Your daughter's gonna break your heart one
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: day because you're gonna run into a nigga like you,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: So you better be being the best dad possible to
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: your daughter. So girls need dads too, you know what
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. I probably wouldn't have went through half the shit.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: My dad wasn't absent, but he just doesn't talk much.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying like they my parents weren't.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: They got divorced, but he didn't talk much, so it's
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: not like I could go to him for advice anyway,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. And when I did ask for advice,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: it was to be by yourself, was the advice from
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: my daddy.
• 46:21
  Speaker 6: Although he's not present with me, he tells me all
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: the time. He's like, he just shows me how to
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: love myself. But I feel like my mom, she shows
• 46:27
  Speaker 6: me how to love the world.
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, I hear what you're saying.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: That's a good balance.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: But I do think it's important for our days to
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: help us understand.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: How to love men, you know, and not just them
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: you know. Like I guess that's the first.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Example of how to love a man is with your father.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: But if he ain't around, then what.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: Do you do?
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: You be looking for daddy and niggas And that's a problem,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Like you you could pick your daddy, but you can't
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: choose your father, right right, that's crazy.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: What do you feel about our generation, me and AJ
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: and your moms and aunties, Like what do y'all feel
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: like we just don't understand, Like we just don't fucking get.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: This is I don't know.
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: This is a really complicated topic actually, but it's mostly
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: just social media, like the exposure of social media that
• 47:29
  Speaker 6: the younger generation has caught on to, Like I don't
• 47:31
  Speaker 6: think the older generation will ever understand that because y'all
• 47:35
  Speaker 6: wasn't really there, like how much we are here at presently,
• 47:39
  Speaker 6: and it's like we see so much and it's like we.
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: Affected by so much. So I don't know.
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: I think it's it morphed our minds differently than how
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: it was for y'all growing up, especially while we developing,
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: Like seeing stuff like that, I don't know. I don't
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: think it's normal, but it's happening, Like in the world,
• 47:57
  Speaker 6: it's very common.
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: So so you.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: Just feel like the access to information that y'all got
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: in your formative years was just more so y'all think
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: y'all know more than us.
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: No, it's not even that.
• 48:07
  Speaker 6: It's not even that I feel like kids have been
• 48:11
  Speaker 6: it's supposed to more explicit things like you're not supposed
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: to be watching it as a kid, Like.
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: It's just some things that.
• 48:19
  Speaker 6: You was not supposed to see right now, but you
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: got to see it and you can't unsee it, Yes,
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: And it's like it traumatizes you and it affects you,
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: like and controlling their emotions, like, this generation do not
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: know how to control their emotions. Nobody do nobody know
• 48:38
  Speaker 6: how to control their emotions.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Adults don't either. Okay, there teaching us and we don't,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: and we just go about everything the wrong way because
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: we're seeing the older generation doing well. Our generation, I
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: feel like we had a we saw everything eighties babies,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: like from the change in music or how music is
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: even played TV. Internet, like, we experienced all the things.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: And we also grew up during an epidemic. So during
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: the eighties, a lot of our parents, a lot of
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: our uncles aunties were addicted to drugs. So we were
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: latch key kids a lot of us. We were home
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: by ourselves oftentimes, and we got to expose to a
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: lot of different things too. And I think the parents
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: now are just have sheltered our thought. They sheltered you
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: because of their experiences. They wanted to just keep you
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: safe and keep you away from all of these things
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: that we got to see. And in the midst of that,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: you were exposed to so much by looking at your
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: tablet all the time.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: So yeah, because parents weren't parenting, like the internet was
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: get where my phone at, give them the iPhone or
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: given them tablet. They can't even go any place without
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: the tablet.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: Because we were outside running the street until the street
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: light came on. We were outside running around, and we
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: might've been exposed to think exact way, but you were
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: in the house being exposed to things all.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: Over the earth. So it's just a different experience. What
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: about you?
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: Going off of what you said, Like parents like seeing
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: a lot, so they were like trying to shelter their
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: kids from stuff. I feel like parents just don't understand that,
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: Like it's certain stuff your kids have to learn on
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: the like on their own. It's certain stuff they have
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: to go through to get through. Like you can't preach
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: to the choir to death and like expect them to
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: just listen. Like, no, your kid's gonna want to see
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: firsthand how stuff is gonna play out, how the result is,
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: and like I feel like they don't understand that. We
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: understand like what could happen, and we just want to
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: see for ourselves. Like it's like I don't know, I
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: get like that. Yeah, y'all have been around and like
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: y'all see stuff around you've been around, You've seen it,
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: you went through it. Like I get that, we get that,
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: but it's like you can't shelter us, and like expect
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: you vocally telling us something is like enough versus us
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: physically seeing it firsthand on our own.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: M M.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: I agree. And what Mahogany said, I do expect our
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: the younger generation to be smarter than the last one.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: Our parents probably can't accept that we might be smarter
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: than them, but we're supposed to be so. I expect
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: y'all because y'all have more access to more information at
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: a younger age, you should be accelerated at this point
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: with life. Sometimes. But what you just said about not
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: letting them do the things, Yeah, and see, this is
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: why some of my friends get mad at me. I'll
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: be like, fuck black moments, just fucking with them, right
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: because we were just y'all age doing all the dumb shit,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: experiencing the dumb shit. Like your parents can tell you whatever,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: but you still want to do what you want to
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: do because you've got to experience it for yourself. Some
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: people can learn from other people's mistakes, some things, certain
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: things I'll look at other people say, I ain't never
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: doing that shit. You ain't got to worry about it.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: I can learn certain things from other people, but I
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: always did my dirt by myself, and my mama just
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: thought all these people had this influence over me. And
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm the influence, I'm the problem. I'm the villain.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: But parents forget that they were young sometimes, so you
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: put your child on a pedestal and you expect them
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: to be better than you, hopefully right. You want them
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: to be better than you, but they are also human,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: just human. They're gonna make mistakes, and you made all
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: these mistakes. You forgot he was just doing this shit. Yes,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: you can't expect somebody what have the life experience to
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: be able, you know, to make all the right decisions
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: all the time. You will have to repeat yourself a lot.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: And then what you said, half the life experience even
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: less than that, because I feel like the parents now
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: are like very very sheltered of these kids, so they
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: don't even get to experience nothing. I remember one time
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: when my friends was like mad at her baby for
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: not washing the clothes right, but never really gave her
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: the instructions on how to do it.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: See, and I think I think being alive long enough
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: when no children, we get to see like how things
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: that you know from our childhood, what we would do
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: with our kids, and then we also get to see
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: other people parents, so that type of shit like clean
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: your room.
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: You never showed her how to do it, You just
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: did it for her forever and then one day do it.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not how. It's not supposed to be like that.
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: So that makes perfect sense what you're just saying.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: All right, she they's smart.
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: I told you, where do you see yourself in ten years?
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: Ten years, I'll be getting married and I'll be finishing
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: up my degree and I have my own house.
• 54:01
  Speaker 7: I'm probably not gonna have no baby, but in me
• 54:03
  Speaker 7: and my husband, we're gonna.
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: Go all vacation.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: That's all.
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: Whatever I do.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what about you?
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: That sounds good?
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Sound good?
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: Life? Don't be like that though, Yeah they can.
• 54:22
  Speaker 6: Oh no, I'm gonna make sure I get that. I
• 54:25
  Speaker 6: deserve that, so I'm getting that cool.
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: What about you now?
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: Ten years from now, I see myself like move slowly
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: moving from behind the chair like I probably wouldn't be
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: fully but just about just like a toe left behind
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: a chair, and I feel like I would be more
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: stable than I am in my twenties. Definitely, I'm not
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: gonna say that I'm gonna have everything put together because
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: I feel like we look at thirty and we light dang,
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: that's old to.
• 54:54
  Speaker 6: Hell, but like you're gonna be thirty and that ten
• 54:58
  Speaker 6: years y'all disrespectful.
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: Actually, no, man, I don't ring no belt.
• 55:13
  Speaker 6: I feel like we look at thirty everbody like you
• 55:14
  Speaker 6: feel met supposed to be put together.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: On damn auntie, I ain't your auntie.
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: I feel just.
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: Starting to figure that's what about to say. Like, I
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: feel like I'm gonna be like slowly like figuring out
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: what is right, like what it's gonna work for me
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: and what's not working for me. And I feel like
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: I'm in my mature era where I'm grown sexy. I'm thriving.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: Girl. You don't even get sexy til thirty. Okay, okay, okay,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: I thought you meant like right now.
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just see myself like, you know, stable home,
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: stable income, visiting countries, you know, just thriving.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, how do y'all think the music now
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: plays on relationships? Like what do y'all think about relationships?
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: Like like literal like intimate really.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Like yes, yes, or even just meeting people, you meeting guys,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: getting to know people, Like what do you How do
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: y'all think the music plays a role in y'all dating life?
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: Or does it?
• 56:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: I don't feel like it does. But what I will
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: say is like we do not have that music that
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: y'all have back and the day. We do not have
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: that R and B y'all don't. We don't have that.
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: We don't have that money you want. We don't have
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: that jacked edge. We don't have that. So like we
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: hear in songs all day about like niggas and like
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: having a bunch of females and like living like quote
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: unquote rock star lifestyle, and like no one's like really
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: committing to relationships. No one's like putting themselves to that standard.
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: So I guess like men are taking that and like
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: running with it because I've like the females they be
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: wanting a relationship like it be the man who don't.
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: And that's the problem right there.
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: Do you feel like the music is too violent?
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: I see, I see you girl.
• 57:14
  Speaker 6: I gets down with I gets down with that type
• 57:18
  Speaker 6: of music.
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: Sunday on the way here. Maybe I'm listening to it,
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: but listen, it's not affecting me.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: So I feel like the men.
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I separate as a girl, I separated, Okay, Okay,
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna say me. I feel like I don't
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: allow music or like social media like really have that
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: influence on me. But I know that there are people
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: out here, younger adults, like my peers, that will like, girl,
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: is this girl on Instagram right now posting with her
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: gun every day? And it is just like, why are
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: you doing that? Be a lady. But I definitely feel
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: like the music has like molded that in them, like
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: shooting my bang bang or something.
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Do you agree just a little bit.
• 58:02
  Speaker 6: I mean, I do think that the music don't got
• 58:05
  Speaker 6: a little more violent over the years, especially with this
• 58:09
  Speaker 6: gang culture y'all, Oh my god, and the people they
• 58:11
  Speaker 6: so hard drugs, they think that they could kill anybody,
• 58:15
  Speaker 6: do anything that anybody just be so mean. It's really
• 58:18
  Speaker 6: a lot of anger in this music and they're putting
• 58:20
  Speaker 6: out and I believe that it'd be like spirits in it,
• 58:23
  Speaker 6: Like I believe in that.
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: So I think what you're listening to.
• 58:26
  Speaker 6: Is definitely like you need to be mindful of that
• 58:29
  Speaker 6: because it's definitely a lot of chance going on in
• 58:32
  Speaker 6: the background that you don't even know.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, come on, mahogumy see, it's the subliminals.
• 58:37
  Speaker 6: Like nobody's really talking about that, and we just feeding
• 58:41
  Speaker 6: into these young children. Like it's getting really scary nowadays.
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: Like I agree, I agree, y'all hear that you.
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: Do not play that soon. She heard curseword in the song.
• 58:53
  Speaker 6: Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off, like
• 58:57
  Speaker 6: because the growing up now they don't even be caring,
• 59:01
  Speaker 6: because that's why you could control yourself now, like but
• 59:04
  Speaker 6: back then, it's like they begin mom worked, brainwashed, whatever
• 59:11
  Speaker 6: you want to call it.
• 59:12
  Speaker 5: Like you gotta check on these kids, y'all.
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: So let me ask you this. Do you feel like
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: the music is too sexual?
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: Okay, I feel like y'all generation be trying to make
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: it seem like y'all didn't have Trina, which she was
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: popping it. So I don't feel like it's any different.
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: I just feel like right now, it's more it's a
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: lot of Yeah, it's more.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: We had a couple. We had a couple. Y'all have
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of them right now.
• 59:49
  Speaker 4: It's very very y'all had a lot of.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: Everything. It has just the same type of.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 6: Basically extremely sexual because sex sells, that's what it is.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 5: Sees a lot of.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: It.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, everybody ain't buying that shit either. Everybody ain't making
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: money off sex either. They just doing the thing.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sometimes it be like, you know, like cringe, like
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: were clutching our pearls a little bit. But some of it,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: like y'all can't lie.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 6: Sexy Red is very catchy, like she she's.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: Doing her thing right now. But I do feel like
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: it's definitely a little too much right now. It's it's
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: it's a young girls.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like okay, like if you're twenty and above
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: and you're listening to Sexy Red and you can, you know,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: distinguish art from reality, you know, but if you in
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: the car with your four year old and she is
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: like this is her you know where she's absorbing the
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: most information and she's listening to Sexy Read, you know,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: this is what this is what she's learning how the
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: world is.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: And so that's how it starts. And then like by
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: the time she's twenty, what will the music be? You know,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: what will the music be? What will society be?
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: If you know it's gonna be. It ain't even gonna
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: be fuck my baby, Dad, It's gonna be fuck my baby.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: People already be rapping about playing bees and abortion like
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: that shit is like cool.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: Right, So it's very scary. So I wanna do you
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: have any more relationship questions?
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: Because I shift, go ahead and shift it.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 5: So let's talk a.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Little bit about politics because this is both of your
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: first time voting.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: This next election. Correct, Yeah, so that's exciting.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: Are y'all registered?
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: Are you registered? You're registered? How do y'all feel about
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: this next election? Do y'all care? Do y'all feel like
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: you're affected by it?
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 6: Like I do care, and I feel like we affect it,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 6: especially as black women.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 7: And I'm going to be voting for Kamala this year,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 7: but it's only just.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 6: To avoid going into Agenda forty seven and Project twenty five.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 6: But I mean, I think that they both puppets and
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 6: the government. I think that we need to be voting
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 6: like year round. So like y'all need to be focusing
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 6: on them mayors, them governors, them centers for y'all states,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 6: cause that's what we be making the laws, Like that's who
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 6: passing on bills and stuff.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: So that's what we need to be focusing on.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: So your low collection. Okay, yeah, okay, I'm gonna hung me.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: What do you think it's smart?
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: I definitely. I'm definitely gonna vote this year.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: Is it important to you though?
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: Yes, it is important. I feel like I feel like
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 4: our generation kind of like I feel like that's where
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: the disconnect is with the generations. Like I feel like
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: y'all are more aware. I mean, of course, but y'all
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: are more like aware, y'all know more about politics. I
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: feel like the younger generation they don't really like feel
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: like they get it. I feel like we understand voting,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: and like I feel like our generation isn't making it
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: a priority. Like they don't feel like if they don't vote,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: then like what would that do? Just like one person
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: I vote in but like.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of people in our generation feel
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: the same way.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like it's like many people that have the same
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: thought process, so like it's not one person I vote
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: and it's all of all that's not voting, so like yeah,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: and then when the person that they wanted to get
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: an office that they didn't vote for doesn't get an office,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: they like on Instagram or on social media looking at
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: the world crazy and it's like you didn't like you
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: have a choice, Like you have the right to vote,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: and if you didn't vote, then like you can't be
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: mad that the outcome wasn't what you wanted.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I ain't gonna hold y'all.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: When I was eighteen, I wasn't very politically inclined. I
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: didn't really care as much about politics. And I remember, y'all,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: I swear to god, I was it was election day
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: and I was in the bed.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: Now I was home.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: I was home, and I was in the bed and
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: I got hit in the back with a cane by
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: my grandma.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: Get your ass up and go to the pole.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: She made me go to the pole and vote.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: And she really hit me like that, and that is
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: what started my Like, damn, she carried as much. Let
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: me get up and go participate in this process. Yeah,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: and that's how I got. I got beat to the pole.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: So I'm.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: To go to the poe, but get up and go vote.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: Did she have a conversation with you about the people
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: who are running and that's who you're voting for? Did
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: you know at eighteen.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: As I walked to the cause, it was the elementary
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: school right up the street. I didn't even have to
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: go that far to vote. She rode behind me with
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: her fuck hover around, talking to me about why it
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: was important for me to vote and who the candidates were,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: and I need to get my lazy black asses to
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: do something with myself. So that was the conversation that
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: happened with my grandmother, who's right here on my neck.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: I've missed her so.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: Much because she cared that much, and I think it's
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: important for us to, you know, instill that in the
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: younger people now. And I think like when Kamala had
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: what was a Kamala I always say Kamala, Kamala Harris
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: had Meg thee Stallion come on stage. Everybody said it
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: was cringe, but that was in an effort to pull
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: in the younger voters so they could start listening to
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: the politics and not just be concerned just with Meg
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: thee Stallion and sexy Red. Did y'all feel like that
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: was a cringe moment for her to have a sexy Red?
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 6: I think it was obvious. I think it was an
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 6: obvious move. I think that anybody could see that from
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 6: like a mile that you were trying to pull in
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 6: a younger generation. Ain't nobody, No, ain't nobody over fifty
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 6: listening to No Sex Red.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: But they already voting, you know, so the over fifty,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: they don't have to pull them in because they're already Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: so yeah, because Trump Trump people gonna vote like like,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but do you feel like Trump's younger
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: can't like the younger people who know?
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 5: Yes, them too.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 6: It's like a whole family like like no, like the sister,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 6: the brothers, daddy's and mamas, y'all gotta get out there,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 6: like m hm, Trump is coming.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 7: Like.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: Trump is coming.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 5: In the Washington in the in Washington, d C.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: They went very January six.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, that is bad. You've never seen nobody Biden
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 5: doing that.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: No, nobody has scaled the wall for Obama.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I'm getting my thoughts to myself. But yeah,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: just do you make sure you know about everybody exactly
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: before you make a decision or anything. Because we talk
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: back does not endorse any political parties, okay, in particular,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: any people in particular. Okay, fyi, because everybody has different perception,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: which we talk about a lot. Okay, people perceive things differently.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: We can I could see one thing, you could see
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: something else, and we can both interpret it two different ways.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: And that's really what we're dealing with a lot of things,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: which you know, religion and politics. It starts arguments a lot.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: So yeah, just be informed when you go do that vote,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: because I can remember the very first time I voted
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: eighteen in college, Benedictte College. They told us to go
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: vote Democrat. They told us who to vote for, right
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: when nobody was informed for real, this is our first
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: time voting. I remember one student and she might have
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: been a senior at the time, and she was kind
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: of like a like a little chunky girl, pretty girl,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: stuck up though, like she acts like a white girl,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: people would say. But I remember her standing up and
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: this is the age, okay, standing up in the gym,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: and she was like, y'all don't have to vote for
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: this person. Y'all can vote for that person, you know,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: telling the students you don't have to vote straight Democrat,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: you don't have to vote for this one particular person,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: just because the majority of the people at the school
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: are telling you to do that same thing. I'm telling y'all,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: so be informed about everybody, So to go to the
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: polls and vote straight Democratic never made sense to me, right,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: because these other there's gonna be other things on the
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: ballot to also vote for, So you needn't know who's
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: running for each of those things and what matters to you.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: So you vote based on policies, right, based on what
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: you want for your future and who's the best person
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: to give it to you. What do y'all think about
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: the current state of America? Because y'all are young, Like
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: I said, we grew up and we saw everything. We
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: saw the world change, and to me, it's progressively gotten
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: worse in the last couple of years in our lifetime.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: What do y'all think.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 4: The economy is in a downward spiral? Yeah, a fast
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: time in real pace, in reural life.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: It's like.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 4: It's going to ship.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: Because why a pack of cheese six dollars?
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: Girl, I went to the story yesterday and I got
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 4: a juice and a chip. It was six dollars, Like
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: that should have been three dollars back in the day.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 4: That's one fifty and fifty back.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: In your day. Y'all already got it back in the day.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: Imagine that seating up so fast, y'all got it back
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: in the day when we were.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: When I was your age, bag of you could get
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: a bag of.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 4: Chips, I know. And when I was running up there
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: was fifty y'all.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: Y'all they had a dollar twenty five.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: All right, let me ask you this, speaking of your
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: back in the day, if if you could have given
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: your ten year old self advice about life right now,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: what would you say to her? What would you say
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: to your ten year old self?
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 4: Listen to yallama, Please.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: Listen to your mama.

  Speaker 6: Oh my god, my mama don't got me out of
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 6: so much stuff, like I should.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 5: Just listen to her like I should.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: So she does understand, So parents do understand. But she
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: don't know everything because y'all don't tell everything.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: Because y'all don't share enough.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: We were trying to help y'all through the dumb bitch
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: stages of life. This is gonna take us back to relationships,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: so you can bypass that stage, so you can make
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: the best choices. Because what I want to tell you
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: is make sure you keep all your grets to minimum.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: That's the best device. And maybe try to get a
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: business loan instead of a student loan or some ship
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: like that. So yeah, keep your regrets to a minimum,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: and mamas are going to help you because we already
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: did the thing. Okay, it's nothing that I'm telling you
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: not to do that I haven't done and already.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: And that's the biggest thing.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: Your mama always say everything you're thinking about doing, I
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: already done that.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: Ain't nothing new under the sun.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: But there are new things there are. There are new
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: things that mama.

• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: got one. Listen. I stopped telling my niece giving her
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: advice at a certain age because at that point I
• 1:11:45

• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: don't need to tell you about my shit no more,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: because you already made some mistakes to learn from.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: So give me one, all right, So let me tell
