• 1:50
  Speaker 1: my girl.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: And halle Berry.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: When she says something, she say it and when she
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: mean it, she stand on it.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: But she's having a backtrack.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: So she just announced that her and her boyfriend Van
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Hunt are actually engaged.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: As a class. As a class as a class tailor
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and tailor nade it this over there on the morning
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: side of the podcast right now. I am so happy
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: for my girl.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: They've been together for about like six years, and y'all
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: are like, damn six years and are just now getting engaged.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing, halle Berry never gave one my answer
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to the proposal. So let me let me give you
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: guys some background. So back in twenty twenty five and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: June twenty twenty five, Van Hunt spoke about the fact
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that he had already proposed to halle Berry, and he
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: said that you know, she said no. He said, he
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: put the proposal out there, it was still floating in
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the air, but at the time they weren't engage.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: She had said no.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: So halle Berry, who people always have conversations about her
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: relationships and about her not being able to stay in them,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: She is very well aware of that.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: She's been divorced three.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Times, and she has said that she didn't rush and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: she isn't rushing to marriage with Ben because she's had
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: three marriages that didn't work out right. And it's like, Okay,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I understand the logic, but I do feel like if
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you have a person that's there, that's willing, that you've
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: obviously been with for six years, I mean, I don't know.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the hesitation is. But again, she
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: knows herself. She's the one who's been through these past situations.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: She knows what's going on, so we gotta trust it.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: But last week, halle Berry did this interview with The
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Cut magazine, and it was a written interview, so you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: won't hear her. But in the interview, she talked about
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the fact that, like after her third divorce, people started
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to ask, like, what's wrong with halle Berry?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Is she crazy? She can't keep a man?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And she said that her pushback would always be who
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: says I want to keep a man if he's not
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the right man. And then she talks about, you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: being in the best relationship that she ever had. Her
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and Van met in during COVID in twenty twenty two,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and it was like set up by his brother.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: She says.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: They text and talk on the phone for four months
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: before their first in real life date. Then she talks
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: about the fact that she had Actually, halle Berry has
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: stopped doing interviews because she felt like, for like ten years,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: every interview she did it always became about her in
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: relationships and how they didn't work. She says it was
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: always poor halle unlucky in love again. And then so
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the editor of the Cut magazine is like, well, why
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: don't you come up with your headline like your own.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: If you could come up with your own headline about
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: halle Berry in relationships, what would it be? And so
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: she closes her eyes and she goes, halle Berry is
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: not a damnseone distress. Halle Berry is not a victim
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of a fel relationship. Halle Berry never said it was
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: anyone else's fault. So she's very well aware of the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: conversations that are out there. She obviously is very well
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: aware of herself, and she talks a lot in this
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: article about learning to take accountability for what would write
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and wrong, both in her relationships, her work life. Everything right,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: But in this article, mind you mind y'w this was
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: like not even a week ago. In this article, she
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: volunteers the information that Van Hunt proposed to her this past.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: June, and she still hadn't said yes.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: So in the article she goes this past June Hunt proposed,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and the interviewer goes and and she says, so Holly
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Berry leans in and she says, I haven't said yes.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think we need to be married to have
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a full meaningful relationship. I don't know if we will
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: ever get married, then she says, So then she's talking about,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you know, because of health reasons or having full access
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and the right to make crucial medical decisions as a
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: legal spouse is one of her exceptions to the rules.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: So it didn't even sound like in this article that
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: marriage was something on her mind. She admitted that this
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: was one of the best relationships she's ever been in.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: She admitted that she's at a place of taking full accountability.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: She admitted that she barely even talked to people you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and hasn't.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: For a while.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: But now she's been out, you know, promoting all of
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the work that she's doing in the mental pause space,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: so she has been more active. But she says that
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: she even at one point staied the way because she
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: didn't want to have a conversation about relationships.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: And now here we are and Cally Berry's volunteering information
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: about the relationship.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: So fast forward, we're like, what a few days after
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: she's now on fallin and she lets us know she's
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: like clearing up the confusion. She says that people have
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: their relationship confused. They are actually engaged. Let's take a listen.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: There's some confusion it's going around that I that my
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: guy Van Hunt.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I've been dating him now for almost six years. Yes,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: he's great, he is great.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Well there's some confusion that he asked to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: marry me and I said.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: No, no, don't sir.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Stop.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: But no, that's not the case. I did not say no.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: We just don't have a date, but of course I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: said yes. So I don't know what's going on over there,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: but congratulations question mark to halle Berry and Ving Hunt.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm glad that she's cleared it
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: up because I do feel like when I read the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: article with the cut, I.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Was like, damn, she still didn't say yes to that man.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: That is a very patient man, because I understand you
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: come with your bruises and all that, and girl, listen,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and for any woman out there listening to this who
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: has been through some things in a relationship, you already
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: know you're never fully together for that next relationship the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: way that you think you are. You're not until you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: get in it and you realize those triggers and like, oh,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it's just a whole process. But if someone's there and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: they're doing everything they're supposed to be doing. And she's like,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: this is the best relationship I've been in ever. Girl,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Marry that man. I don't know what you talking about,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Halle Berry. Marry that man with your beautiful, fine self.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: They are a beautiful, fine couple. Can't wait to see
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the body and photos now in other news, because I mean,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I guess that was Black History. Holly Berry is finally
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: engaged again. Oh she would hate that headline.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: In other news.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: You know, there is a latest update over at the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: White House. So on this sixth day of Black History Month,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: our President Donald Trump gave to us a racist video
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: of Michelle Obama and Barack Obama. So randomly today I
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: minded my black business and I'm scrolling on my timeline
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and I see this video. It's like an AI video
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: where Michelle Obama and Barack Obama their faces are infused
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: with like characters from.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Planet of Apes, and I'm like, what the hell is this?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: And then I see that it's being reposted from truth
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Social posted by the White House, and I'm like what, Like,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: first of all, why, Secondly, I mean, we know Donald
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Trump is racist, but like I'm like, did something. Did
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: something happen within the last like ten minutes, Like did
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Barack Obama, like I don't know, post a Black History
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Month post or something like what triggered the shots he's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: throwing his way now, like what is it? So the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: clip was posted and this actual So this video that
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: was posted was actually a part of an old video
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: that talked about these unverified alleged wrote fraud claims, something
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that happened allegedly back in twenty twenty two, which we
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: all know anything that is alleged from that side of things,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: it is typically the furthest from the truth. But yeah,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: so the clip showed what I told you guys, Barack Obama,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Michelle Obama with their it was like animated with their
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: heads on, two characters from the Planet of the Apes.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: And then the song that was played is the Lion
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Sleeps Tonight.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Trump's account reposted this with no caption at all on
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: truth Social and then when the White House Secretary Caroline
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Levitt was asked about it, this is a statement she gave.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: She said, this is from an internet meme video depicting
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: as characters from the lion king, please stop the fake
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: outrage and report on something today that actually matters to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the American public.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: So what Caroline Levitt is referring to.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Is the original meme that was posted that had Trump
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: like his body superimposed on the body of a lion,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: and then he had the faces of other politicians, including
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, but also the Obamas on
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: these like jungle characters or whatever.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Right, but I.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Don't care who all over there, who else is included.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: You can't put black people anywhere on a monkey like what?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And then I tried to go find the post myself
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: on his truth Social account because I just couldn't believe it.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I'm like, this is so blatant, like Trump is very blatant.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: But I'm like, I don't know, I just need to
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: see it myself. So I went to truth Social three times.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Actually I thought maybe I missed it because there were
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: all these other videos that he had been reposting and
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I couldn't find anything.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: And then there was an update.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: So the White House sends out another statement that said
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: a White House official or White House staffer uraniously made
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the post. It has been taken down, so they're blaming
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: like a random White House staffer after Caroline Levy already
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: stood ten toes down on it ain't that serious. The
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: post has been removed though, That's why I couldn't find anymore.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: The post has been removed.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, and now all is well, But
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, are is anybody surprised here? Low ryders? Like,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: are any of you guys surprised that this happened at all?
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: But I'm gonna keep on having a great Black History Month.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I'm listen.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I saw Lonnie Love, comedian Lonni Love post that man
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: is gonna ruin my Black History Month, because you know,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: after that happened, there was like a big outpouring of
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: love to Michelle Obama Barack Obama across various Twitter accounts,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Instagram accounts, media outlets, and not just the black centered
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: ones and not just democratic ones. You know, Republicans were
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: also really upset. I saw some people speaking out about
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: this as well too. But hey, look, I mean, it's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: so bad to be numb to this type of stuff,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: but we've lived through worse attacks on the most beloved
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: presidential husband and wife, Michelle Obama Barack Obama, so we'll
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: be okay, it's just sad, you know, twenty twenty six,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: we're still dealing with these things. But hey, such is life,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: such as to be black in America. So let's celebrate
