4:10
SPEAKER_04: I'm doing good.
4:11
SPEAKER_04: Um as good as I can.
4:13
SPEAKER_04: It's important for my mental health and for me to stay on the strict schedule.
4:19
SPEAKER_04: Um, I'm keeping myself busy every day when it's helping the friend move, going to apply for jobs at a friend's house or a cafe or trying to get up every day at seven so I can, you know, hey, I need to get up, do my prayer, get up, you know, apply for jobs for this amount of time, go do my exercise and then just try to keep my mind busy because I'm a mind is the devil's workshop.
4:41
SPEAKER_04: Um feel like my family's going through transition right now, so just praying for that.
4:47
SPEAKER_04: Um, keep the Lee Worth family in y'all's prayers.
4:52
SPEAKER_04: Um, my grandmother's birthday was yesterday.
4:54

4:55
SPEAKER_04: So shout out to my grandmother, Cheryl.
4:58
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
4:59
SPEAKER_02: Happy birthday, man.
5:00
SPEAKER_02: Leo's season is in full effect right now, man.
5:04
SPEAKER_02: Full Lord D.
5:06
SPEAKER_02: We are outside, man.
5:07
SPEAKER_04: It's everybody's birthday.
5:09
SPEAKER_04: She calls her wiping herself down with her mango little celerose, a little shot because she knows right.
5:14
SPEAKER_04: Hey.
5:15
SPEAKER_04: Um, girl.
5:17
SPEAKER_04: We, my dad barbecued, we had the family over, and it was just, it was part of the, it was a really good day for part of the day.
5:25
SPEAKER_04: Um, yeah, so just mentally just keeping myself busy and just I think being an empath, I do feel emotion to take on people's emotions, but it's like I can still be there for my friends and family, but at the same time, it's just like I have to just focus on what makes me happy.
5:44
SPEAKER_04: Like I just can't take on other people's shit anymore.
5:48
SPEAKER_04: So Yeah.
5:53
SPEAKER_04: I'm I'm destined to make it a good day.
5:56
SPEAKER_04: Despite it all, that's right.
5:57
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
5:59
SPEAKER_04: Um, I've dealt I'm not perfect.
6:02
SPEAKER_04: I've dealt with my demons though.
6:04
SPEAKER_04: Talk that I'm through therapy.
6:07
SPEAKER_04: As soon as I get the opportunity to get back into therapy when I get employed again, because those benefits are very important for me.
6:12
SPEAKER_04: I'm getting my ass right back in there.
6:15
SPEAKER_04: So, yes, that's just how I'm feeling.
6:18
SPEAKER_04: Just important to keep my mental together, keep myself on a schedule.
6:22
SPEAKER_04: I do allow myself downtime to process how I'm feeling because I'm allowed to have bad days or that's right, to feel certain way about not working, but it's just like I can't afford to dwell in that again.
6:34
SPEAKER_04: I overeat, I become depressed, I don't want to put any extra burden on my parents because a mental burden or a mental block is so much harder to break than anything else for me.
6:45
SPEAKER_04: I get very drainy to be around and I don't and I and I'm a self-isolator.
6:50
SPEAKER_04: I don't want to talk to my friends and my family.
6:52
SPEAKER_04: I just get in my head because I feel like I'm not where I'm supposed to be, so I cannot do that this time around.
6:58
SPEAKER_04: And I'm not I've chosen that path of not taking it, right?
7:04
SPEAKER_04: So it's been good overall.
7:07
SPEAKER_04: I came back from Atlanta for six days.
7:10
SPEAKER_04: Me and my best friend had an amazing time.
7:12
SPEAKER_04: However, I did go to a funeral, which was very sad, but it was beautiful because so many people from the community, from just I think one of the beautiful things I've noticed about funerals when you have a person who is as impactful as Nicole was, to see all of their friends, all of their crowds, and everybody from every walk of life show up at one time and see the impact that person had on just everybody.
7:42
SPEAKER_04: So, you know, going to a funeral wasn't fun, but uh it was beautiful just to see how loved she was, to see how much of an impact that she made on her community, her family, her friends, her wife.
7:53
SPEAKER_04: It was just beautiful.
7:54
SPEAKER_04: The the kids that she was a basketball coach for, it was just an amazing thing, and she will definitely be missed.
8:02
SPEAKER_04: Um and again, to be able to support one of my best friends during such a traumatic time, it was a blessing to be able to do that.
8:12
SPEAKER_04: And I Lord knows I try to support all my friends.
8:14
SPEAKER_04: I might make the money, the time, but if I can show up where it really matters, that's what I really try to do.
8:22
SPEAKER_02: Um that means so much more than uh money or you know, any material thing.
8:28
SPEAKER_02: Your time is always gonna be mean so much more than that.
8:33
SPEAKER_04: Absolutely.
8:33
SPEAKER_02: So that's amazing.
8:35
SPEAKER_04: And I, you know, granted, I'm always happy to see my friends, but when, you know, we hugged each other now.
8:40
SPEAKER_04: She was like, I'm she was like, I'm so glad you came.
8:42
SPEAKER_04: I was uh I didn't go to the viewing of the body.
8:46
SPEAKER_04: I'm so weird.
8:47
SPEAKER_04: I oh I can't I just like when it comes to funerals, I just don't view the body because in my head it's easier for me to remember how they were before they transcended to the other side, but because they had it was separate.
8:59
SPEAKER_04: So the Saturday they had the viewing of the body and then the Sunday was the funeral service.
9:05
SPEAKER_04: I did go.
9:06
SPEAKER_04: So I traveled and went and I'm glad that I was able to witness that greatness and to be there for another section of family that I have.
9:17
SPEAKER_04: I chosen um but yeah, I've having having a strong circle of my girlfriends have been just so monumental.
9:30
SPEAKER_04: And I think I made a post a few weeks ago and I shouted out your name.
9:33
SPEAKER_04: I said, I love the diamonds of the mall, the Gabbies of the Mall, the Allies of the Mall.
9:38
SPEAKER_04: It just so my girls and my TJ, right?
9:41
SPEAKER_04: Um I'm just blessed.
9:44
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I am.
9:46
SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna get emotional, but I know when I pick up that phone, if I call Diamond, she's gonna answer.
9:52
SPEAKER_04: That's right.
9:53
SPEAKER_04: I know if I call Gabrielle, if I call Allie, if I call up a candle, a portion, they're going to answer.
10:00
SPEAKER_04: You know, I have it's it's a I got a strong group of about 10 or 12 that I can depend on.
10:05
SPEAKER_04: And I never take that for granted.
10:07
SPEAKER_04: Um, and everybody has stuff going on in their lives and their families, their kids, their relationships, marriages, jobs, just personal needs and wants.
10:17
SPEAKER_04: So to be able to have that circle that's there for me, or that just even want to listen, or just offers amazing.
10:25
SPEAKER_04: Because one thing I love about the friendship of Diamond, my sister right here, she offers solutions.
10:30
SPEAKER_04: A lot of the time she will listen, but she's like, hey, sis, I think it'd be beneficial if you do this.
10:35
SPEAKER_04: So that's that's a blessing.
10:37
SPEAKER_04: And you know, I I'm in this season now where I'm really just trying to wait and just wait on the right thing.
10:43
SPEAKER_04: So it really isn't nothing nobody nobody could tell me, but it's just like, hey, keep yourself keep yourself grounded, keep yourself, but just keep on doing what you're doing.
10:53
SPEAKER_04: Because last year, if I would have lost my job, I probably wouldn't even want to do the podcast anymore.
11:00
SPEAKER_04: So it's just a blessing to have that.
11:03
SPEAKER_04: And sis, I thank you.
11:04
SPEAKER_04: You you show up for me more than I think you realize it.
11:08
SPEAKER_04: And I, you know, I look up to you and your husband and your family, the fact that you such a badass and you still set forth, like I told you, you sat forth to do whatever you wanted to do and you did that.
11:20
SPEAKER_04: You got your podcast, you know, you 40 and a 40, you've been doing the damn thing.
11:25
SPEAKER_04: So it is definitely inspirational.
11:27
SPEAKER_04: And I know sometimes I look back, I'm just like, dang, I gotta be happy for everybody else.
11:31
SPEAKER_04: But it's very important because I surround myself with people that got emotion.
11:36
SPEAKER_04: Women that got shit going on, that got shit going for themselves.
11:40
SPEAKER_04: So it's so important to see.
11:43
SPEAKER_02: But I mean, in your circle, I mean, I I look at myself and the other women that you are surrounded by, and you know, I'm just so I'm proud of you as well, you know.
11:55
SPEAKER_02: And I want you to always give yourself the credit, you know, that you give to others because what you do is nothing short of greatness as well.
12:08
SPEAKER_02: I mean, um, look at you.
12:11
SPEAKER_02: You are, you know, on two podcasts, the black paradigm does significant, you know, numbers, and y'all have been now, what has it been?
12:21
SPEAKER_02: What two, three years, two years?
12:23
SPEAKER_02: It's been over two years, which is crazy.
12:26
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
12:26
SPEAKER_02: Like that is, you know, and then as a fan, you know, of the black paradigm, every week, you know, I am wanting more, and it's like to be able to keep your listeners invested for so long in the things that you and TJ talk about, uh, how real it is, how um how you all are pouring into the community.
12:54
SPEAKER_02: Ashley, I just want you to know that, you know, give you yourself your flowers and pat yourself on the back, all the things that you're doing, and just being there for your family, being there for your friends, showing up even when it's hard and the things that you're going through.
13:11
SPEAKER_02: Um, that's nothing short of amazing.
13:13
SPEAKER_02: So I just want you to know that as well.
13:16
SPEAKER_04: Thank you, sis.
13:17
SPEAKER_04: Ah, mm-hmm.
13:19
SPEAKER_04: Not gonna cry today.
13:21
SPEAKER_04: Well, I did.
13:23
SPEAKER_04: I swear, I'm such an emotional.
13:26
SPEAKER_04: Uh I'm not gonna cry today.
13:28
SPEAKER_04: I already did.
13:29
SPEAKER_04: So that was a lie.
13:30

13:35
SPEAKER_04: Let me tell you something.
13:36
SPEAKER_04: That vanilla buttercream, get it's every time.
13:39
SPEAKER_02: Oh, oh my god, I had that.
13:42
SPEAKER_02: Okay, so that's crazy you say that.
13:44
SPEAKER_02: Is that the one that has like the cookies on top?
13:47
SPEAKER_04: No, this is my grandma just it's the plain, she wanted like a plain vanilla cake with the buttercream from no now.
13:54
SPEAKER_04: Uh okay.
13:56
SPEAKER_02: No, have you had the banana pudding cake for fucking no, but uh Tiffany.
14:03
SPEAKER_02: So my girl Tiffany uh ordered me, yeah, she ordered me the cookie butter one for my birthday.
14:11
SPEAKER_02: And had it, she ordered it in uh Panama City, so I was able to pick it up from the public's out there for my birthday.
14:20
SPEAKER_02: That was the best cake I've ever had.
14:22
SPEAKER_04: Since I had that one, we had it at work um a few months ago.
14:29
SPEAKER_04: When I tell you it was Lord, you know how Negroes get when something is good, you and it was stark quiet.
14:35
SPEAKER_04: All you heard was that cake was fired.
14:39
SPEAKER_04: Then I think like the next month we went and it's talking about this, I realized like how much of an overeater and how stressed we were on that job.
14:50
SPEAKER_04: Because we ate a lot to cope.
14:53
SPEAKER_04: So, you know, that's something I'm dealing with and and trying to like because I'm enjoying myself this week.
14:59
SPEAKER_04: And I say, you know what, I'm not gonna overindose, but I'm just gonna enjoy because I know tomorrow I won't be having another piece of cake, right?
15:06
SPEAKER_04: I'll try not to dive all new sweets through the week.
15:10
SPEAKER_04: But sweets and alcohol.
15:12
SPEAKER_04: But I will be joining another piece today.
15:15
SPEAKER_04: And honey, when I tell you we had that banana pudding cake.
15:20
SPEAKER_04: It was a banana.
15:21
SPEAKER_04: I can only imagine.
15:22
SPEAKER_04: It was a banana pudding cheesecake cake.
15:25
SPEAKER_04: It was like a banana cake with a layer of the cheese.
15:28
SPEAKER_04: Oh god.
15:30
SPEAKER_04: I wanted to dance like David danced.
15:32
SPEAKER_04: Do you hear me?
15:33
SPEAKER_04: Baby, that cake did so good.
15:37
SPEAKER_04: Oh, so good.
15:39
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
15:41
SPEAKER_02: Oh, see, now that now that I'm on my shot, I can't eat a lot of sweet.
15:46
SPEAKER_02: So yeah, even though that cake that I had was good, I could only have one piece, and because I could feel myself starting to get a little nauseous.
15:56
SPEAKER_02: So I was like, okay, this was great, but I can't eat anymore.
16:00
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's the only thing I think is like my mind is like, girl, eat, eat, eat.
16:07
SPEAKER_02: But my body and my stomach is like, bitch, stop.
16:10
SPEAKER_02: That's just like last night we went to uh we went out for sushi and my mind and my eyes were like, you could really get four rolls.
16:22
SPEAKER_02: Oh, but I ordered, I ordered two and I had maybe like four pieces and I had to eat the rest today for lunch.
16:30
SPEAKER_02: Like I just cannot, like I can't, like I will get sick.
16:34
SPEAKER_02: So that's the only that's the only thing is that I can't indulge in the things that I love anymore because my body just won't let me.
16:42
SPEAKER_02: I will be sick as a dog.
16:44
SPEAKER_04: So that's the sucky part.
16:46
SPEAKER_04: When you got sick when you first started, uh that recovery time is crucial.
16:52
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
16:53
SPEAKER_02: And so it's crazy because people, I'd be like, I'm done, I'm full.
16:56
SPEAKER_02: And like last night, I took a picture of K-Ron.
17:00
SPEAKER_02: He had like four or five plates in front of him, and homeboy was just like going in, and I'm just sitting there looking at him like, okay.
17:08
SPEAKER_02: He's like, You really first of all, K-Ron's so skinny anyway.
17:12
SPEAKER_02: Yes, oh my god.
17:13
SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes, in the way that he eats.
17:16
SPEAKER_02: Now, I will say this he only eats like once a day.
17:20
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
17:21
SPEAKER_02: And when, but when he eats, like he'll come home from work and he'll make like six hot dogs.
17:29
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, what the fuck?
17:31
SPEAKER_02: Or he'll get like mama fried chicken and he'll eat like three, four pieces of like fried chicken wings and like all, and I'm just like, what the fuck?
17:40
SPEAKER_02: But yeah, I just sat there, sipped my drink, and watched him like just continue to.
17:44
SPEAKER_02: I just can't, I can't.
17:46
SPEAKER_02: I'm just like, he's like, you sure?
17:47
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, yeah, I'm done.
17:49
SPEAKER_02: But um, but yeah, now you got me ready to taste some of that um what what did you say?
17:55
SPEAKER_02: Banana pudding.
17:56
SPEAKER_02: That sounds delicious.
17:57
SPEAKER_02: Banana pudding, cheesecake cake, baby.
17:59
SPEAKER_02: Listen.
18:02
SPEAKER_01: Shout out to Publix.
18:03
SPEAKER_01: Shout out to Publix.
18:04
SPEAKER_01: They got some good cakes.
18:06
SPEAKER_01: They do got some good cakes.
18:08
SPEAKER_04: Even that berry chantilly chef.
18:10
SPEAKER_04: I don't give a damn.
18:11
SPEAKER_04: Hand in hand.
18:12
SPEAKER_04: Um, so we're gonna get started on our show.
18:17
SPEAKER_04: We have a few topics.
18:19
SPEAKER_04: Ciao.
18:20
SPEAKER_04: So we mentioned that we were gonna talk about this last week, and we're gonna talk about it this week.
18:26
SPEAKER_04: We gotta talk about Wu Lady, and I don't think people realize how dangerous her as a person really is.
18:35
SPEAKER_04: Um and the message she's the message she's giving to women and the young girls.
18:40
SPEAKER_04: Because I say women because it's women like our age and older that's trying to take tips from this girl, and I'm just like, okay.
18:49
SPEAKER_04: So sis, you get started, how you feel?
18:51
SPEAKER_04: What's going on?
18:53
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I just think, you know, this whole culture.
18:58
SPEAKER_04: I'm sorry to cut you off, but it's just in case.
19:00
SPEAKER_04: Woo lady, to kind of give y'all some backstory, she is a young black, a young black girl.
19:06
SPEAKER_04: I think she maybe is she around, I think looking at her, she probably's around our age, maybe later 20s, but she's a black woman.
19:15
SPEAKER_04: She gives tips and she writes ebooks and she she teaches classes and teaches young girls how to trick, specifically how to trick in Miami and how to get a trick.
19:26
SPEAKER_04: So before Diamond continues, I just want to give y'all backstory as to who she is.
19:30
SPEAKER_04: If you really want to go in, because there's so many rabbit holes that involves her and people already.
19:36
SPEAKER_04: Because I just started hearing about her maybe a month or some change ago.
19:39
SPEAKER_04: So she's fit to my lexicon that I'm seeing in my algorithms.
19:44
SPEAKER_04: Just type her name in, W-O-O-Lady, and it's gonna be a lot of things that pop up.
19:50
SPEAKER_04: But go ahead, sis.
19:51
SPEAKER_04: I'm sorry.
19:52
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I just think this, like this culture of, you know, I can remember with even when the City Girls came out, you know, that was a whole thing.
20:05
SPEAKER_02: A lot of their songs were about getting men to, you know, spend money running a bag, getting fluid out, you know.
20:15
SPEAKER_02: And so this whole culture of basically like using a man or getting what you can get.
20:25
SPEAKER_02: Here's the thing.
20:27
SPEAKER_02: Some people say, well, that's women's empowerment.
20:30
SPEAKER_02: You know, women are taking a stance and saying, if you want to sleep with me or you want to enjoy my body, then run me some money.
20:42
SPEAKER_02: Okay, I understand that.
20:45
SPEAKER_02: However, with that comes a lot more than these people who are in the limelight, they are not sharing or being forthcoming about.
21:01
SPEAKER_02: And so I think people have to start talking about the downside of playing that game and how things can turn very dark very fast.
21:12
SPEAKER_02: And you know, I don't think that we need to continue to sell dreams to young women or maybe even some older women, that this is just like a simple transaction because it's not, and there's nothing wrong with being a boss woman or being a woman who demands her money or her respect or whatever.
21:42
SPEAKER_02: That's great.
21:43
SPEAKER_02: I'm all for it.
21:44
SPEAKER_02: But the type of games that we're playing, and when I say games, I mean things like I'll use an example, you know, seeking out men, putting your body to the Front of the conversation, meaning that you're like selling yourself.
22:05
SPEAKER_02: So dressing provocatively, you know, leading men on, you know, saying and talking a certain way, promising things, receiving gifts and trips and all of those things, and then saying no at the last minute, or then denying, you know, those promises that you've made.
22:34
SPEAKER_02: That's the game that I'm I'm speaking of.
22:37
SPEAKER_02: And you know, every man or woman, whatever, is not going to be accommodating to you and say, okay, it's cool.
22:47
SPEAKER_02: You know, we're not gonna do X, Y, Z after I just sent you, you know, these flight, these flight tickets or whatever, or paid for da-da-da-da-da.
22:58
SPEAKER_02: Everybody's not gonna be okay with that.
23:00
SPEAKER_02: And so I'm just like, Lord have mercy, especially with the amount of you know, women who've gone missing and all this shit.
23:09
SPEAKER_02: I'm just like, what are we doing?
23:12
SPEAKER_02: But once again, we live this lifestyle now where social media, the TikTok and the Instagram and all this shit is making this lifestyle look so great, like the come up, like the come up is impeccable, it's um makes it look glamorous, it makes it look come up versus like this is what I had to do to get this shit.
23:35
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
23:36
SPEAKER_02: And so I'm like, do you really know?
23:40
SPEAKER_02: Like, if it cause the the women who are, here's my thing the women who are like flossing the money, you know, flossing the bags in the cars and shit like that, they aren't talking about the way that they might have just had to like blow off a dude and two of his friends, or some shit like that.
24:04
SPEAKER_02: Or she just got peed on in the hotel room, or somebody just damn near broke her fucking nose, and like we just not we just not telling.
24:17
SPEAKER_02: It's just a bunch of lies like oh, he flew me out and I ain't even have to do nothing.
24:24
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
24:27
SPEAKER_02: I just I don't know.
24:28
SPEAKER_02: I come from the old school where and my mom used to keep it real, 100 with me, and I just come from the old school.
24:39
SPEAKER_02: If it looked like a duck, it sounds like a duck, it's a duck.
24:44
SPEAKER_02: And like nothing, and then I also come from like ain't shit free out here in this world.
24:48
SPEAKER_02: Yes, that's it.
24:49
SPEAKER_02: If you yes, and if you doing this, that, and the third, and you're getting that, you are clearly putting out like you're you're doing something.
25:00
SPEAKER_02: And so I just I don't know.
25:03
SPEAKER_02: I just feel like a lot of dreams are being sold.
25:06
SPEAKER_02: And then for like the woo lady, I went on the TikTok rabbit hole and like was like watching her, and I'm just like, the shit she was saying, like one of the videos, she was like, I told a girl, um, what'd she say?
25:20
SPEAKER_02: You gotta, you gotta make sure you use she was talking about like fresh, freshening up your vagina, like in between men or dates or some shit.
25:30
SPEAKER_04: First of all, and I say this with all due respect.
25:35
SPEAKER_04: It was like, what?
25:37
SPEAKER_04: I say this with all due respect.
25:39
SPEAKER_04: As a bigger, you know, I am bigger than a woo lady, but look at a woo lady, first of all, we about the same fucking size.
25:46
SPEAKER_04: Who's tricking off on you in Miami?
25:48
SPEAKER_04: Let's be clear.
25:49
SPEAKER_04: They're very anti-black, they're very anti-dark skinned, and you don't fit the standard down there.
25:55
SPEAKER_04: And don't you live with your mama if you're tricking and hoeing and doing sucking and doing all this fucking and shit you're doing, you would think you would have your own place by now.
26:02
SPEAKER_04: You wear the same Lululemon, whatever set she beware, it's that same gray set.
26:07
SPEAKER_04: I'm like, girl, and like I told, and I commented, and I think she blocked me.
26:14
SPEAKER_04: I'm like, are we doing all this shit for a bag?
26:17
unknown: Yeah.
26:20
SPEAKER_04: I bought my own telephone bag.
26:22
SPEAKER_04: Like I work.
26:23
SPEAKER_04: Um sometimes I work two jobs, sometimes I just work one.
26:26
SPEAKER_04: I can go in the store and buy my own fucking part.
26:28
SPEAKER_04: Like, what what is this?
26:30
SPEAKER_04: What is this thing we got with not wanting to to do it the right way?
26:33
SPEAKER_04: And again, if that's what you want to do, because let's be clear tricking, you know, escorting, all of it's a form of fucking prostitution.
26:43
SPEAKER_04: Let's just call it Spain Spain.
26:45
SPEAKER_04: And while we're talking about Wool Lady and the City Girls, I guess in that sense because they're from Miami, but like trick, like places like Miami, Houston, Atlanta to a certain extent, places like that where tricking and and pimp culture is very, very prominent.
27:01
SPEAKER_04: Like for instance, I love watching the software underbelly because that's the realest you're gonna fucking get.
27:06
SPEAKER_04: Yes, yes, yes, yes.
27:08
SPEAKER_04: These women that you think are tricking that gala like that, they're not telling you that they give a pimp 50% of their proceeds, but they keep the certain 50% to look and to and to put out like their.
27:18
SPEAKER_04: They're not telling you like I was supposed to trick off with this one dude.
27:22
SPEAKER_04: I go in there, six other niggas in there, and I got beat within a half inch of my fucking life.
27:26
SPEAKER_04: They're not telling you I had to blow a dog off in Dubai in front of a group of freaky ass old men, or I'm getting my mouth shit on, shut in.
27:35
SPEAKER_04: That's I was able to come back from Dubai with$100,000.
27:37
SPEAKER_04: They're not and I'm not and they're not telling you some of these girls are dying out here.
27:45
SPEAKER_04: Like you, it's it's not worth it.
27:48
SPEAKER_04: And again, Diamond and I were raised, you know, from the old school.
27:52
SPEAKER_04: We were raised by parents that kept it real with us.
27:54
SPEAKER_04: So sex work and prostitution is the oldest profession in the book.
27:59
SPEAKER_04: Correct?
28:00
SPEAKER_04: Prostituting back in the biblical days with Jesus and them.
28:02
SPEAKER_04: Shit, Jesus turned water to wine for the prostitutes and the and and the criminals and you know, for the people of the city.
28:09
SPEAKER_04: So it's just I was sitting back like this already been around, but it's just like to live in an age where that's glorified as a lifestyle, like you paying for a fucking e-book and a class to learn how to trick.
28:21
SPEAKER_04: What word are we either you get either you got it or you don't?
28:25
SPEAKER_04: It's simple.
28:27
SPEAKER_04: And it's and if that's what you choose to do with your life, that's what you choose to do.
28:30
SPEAKER_04: But uh to sit here and sell it to this next generation as an end-all be-all, because pretty only lasts so long.
28:38
SPEAKER_04: Youth only lasts so fucking long.
28:40
SPEAKER_04: What do you have to stand on?
28:44
SPEAKER_04: There's so many girls that work in that lifestyle that I've seen stories, watch the software on the belly.
28:50
SPEAKER_04: Even look at some of my classmates or people that I went to high school with.
28:53
SPEAKER_04: You got the Louis Bag, the Range Rover, the the Mercedes being struck, but you can't go to the mercy room to take care of an issue that you have.
29:02
SPEAKER_04: You don't have a PCP, you don't have a 401k, you don't have a doc, you know, you ain't been to the dentist because you had so many men come in your throat in the last month, and you got a permanent bacterial infection, and you can't understand why your throat won't stop hurting.
29:17
SPEAKER_04: Like, we're not talking about the real issues.
29:20
SPEAKER_04: Correct.
29:21
SPEAKER_04: So again, wrong ass woman, and that's what you choose to do, that's fine.
29:26
SPEAKER_04: I respect it.
29:26
SPEAKER_04: Like, shit, if I had the body, who's to say if I didn't look like how I want to look, I wouldn't be out doing sex work.
29:32
SPEAKER_04: You just never know.
29:33
SPEAKER_04: People can sit up there and pretend like, oh, I wouldn't do this, I wouldn't do that.
29:37
SPEAKER_04: You know, sometimes the only difference is environment, how you was raised, and and what timeline you allowed yourself to go on.
29:46
SPEAKER_04: But to sit here for anybody to be advertising this shit for the next generation of young girls as a lifelong profession, that's where I have an issue.
29:54
SPEAKER_04: Because I don't care how you live, sis.
29:57
SPEAKER_04: At the end of the day, we all again prostituted in some fucking way.
30:00
SPEAKER_04: Even husbands, it's been times my mama, she had to put on my daddy to get something.
30:06
SPEAKER_04: And she's fucking married to the man.
30:08
SPEAKER_04: That's just how I see it.
30:11
SPEAKER_04: And especially women.
30:13
SPEAKER_04: But it's just like we've all used our bodies to get what we want in one way or a fucking other.
30:18
SPEAKER_04: But it's just like, come on.
30:20
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think that's that's what really is so disheartening and so sad is that it's not necessarily the act of it, it's the the soliciting of the information.
30:37
SPEAKER_02: And I think it's so easily accessible because of the social media platforms.
30:44
SPEAKER_02: Like, like I've said before, everyone's everyone wants to tell their story.
30:48
SPEAKER_02: Well, hell, everyone wants to sell their story.
30:52
SPEAKER_02: And this is just, I feel like we have to start looking at the reason behind.
30:58
SPEAKER_02: So let's talk about it.
30:59
SPEAKER_02: The woo lady herself.
31:01
SPEAKER_02: You gotta remember too, this bitch is trying to be on a come up.
31:04
SPEAKER_02: Like, yes, you know, she wants to be a for her ebooks.
31:10
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like she wants to, she's she's getting paid for this.
31:13
SPEAKER_02: She wants to come up, she wants some type of stardom, you know, at the expense of young women potentially putting themselves at harm in harm's way.
31:25
SPEAKER_02: I mean, let's just call it what it is.
31:27
SPEAKER_02: And so I think a lot of folks have to remember that too, is that by looking at this woman and taking to what, taking into what she's saying and following her, you know, you're blindly following her and you know, increasing her uh what what is that called?
31:45
SPEAKER_04: Like her, not stardom, but increasing her followers and her followers, her platform, how else, her general, you know what I'm saying?
31:56
SPEAKER_02: You know, so I mean, I think that's what anyone if in 2026, soon be 2027, anyone right now, at the flick of a wrist, at the drop of a dime, can open up one of these social media platforms and sell something, whether is it, whether it is a material, some type of good, service, or idea.
32:23
SPEAKER_02: Hell, look at uh what's his name?
32:25
SPEAKER_02: And that was from that won't even end, uh that was from years and years ago.
32:30
SPEAKER_02: The the guy that nailed the Hulu documentary, but we were watching on YouTube.
32:35
SPEAKER_02: You say no, um Nature Boy.
32:39
SPEAKER_02: Nature Boy.
32:40
SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes.
32:41
SPEAKER_02: That's I mean, there's a pro I mean look, anybody can do it.
32:45
SPEAKER_02: Anybody can do it.
32:46
SPEAKER_02: And so I just, I don't know.
32:48
SPEAKER_02: I just feel really I feel really bad and sad for these young girls who are.
32:56
SPEAKER_02: And then it's always, and it's always the girls and the young guys who come from, you know, broken homes, who don't have uh, you know, both mom and dad in the home.
33:07
SPEAKER_02: And, you know, like I was that one with, you know, daddy issues and shit that are just so vulnerable that here's this shit, and they just like, oh hell yeah.
33:16
SPEAKER_02: Like, yeah, sign me up.
33:18
SPEAKER_02: And it's just like oh.
33:19
SPEAKER_04: But I've also seen the girls, you know, that had everything and they just well, yeah, that too.
33:24
SPEAKER_04: Just use that.
33:25
SPEAKER_04: No, it's like I mm-mm.
33:29
SPEAKER_04: But no, I do agree.
33:30
SPEAKER_04: I think because I've watched one of her lives one day and she said something that just really disgusts me.
33:37
SPEAKER_04: She said, Yeah, you know, if you didn't grow up having this, you'll never have to be without a meal again.
33:42
SPEAKER_04: Some shit, and I'm just like, so you're targeting people based off of socioeconomics.
33:47
SPEAKER_04: Well, everybody does that.
33:48
SPEAKER_04: All these corporations and companies do, right?
33:51
SPEAKER_04: Yep.
33:51
SPEAKER_04: But to be a person from a marginalized black, you know, to be a black American person and to see the struggles that we I I just mm-mm mm-mm.
34:01
SPEAKER_04: Not a fam.
34:02
SPEAKER_04: No.
34:03
SPEAKER_04: So if you're listening to your big sister Diamond, your big sister Ashley, like I promise you, there's so much more in life than to tricking.
34:12
SPEAKER_04: Um, and again, I don't judge if that's what that's the route you choose to go.
34:16
SPEAKER_04: Get your money, little sis.
34:18
SPEAKER_04: But or get your money, sis, because it's women our age that's tune into the Who Lady fully, they feel like they just can't get uh it has it's something bigger out there for you, whether it's an instant career, whether uh it's it's something more out there for you than laying down with an old motherfucker to trick.
34:35
SPEAKER_04: And let's not act like we don't know the statistics of sex work.
34:39
SPEAKER_04: Most sex workers will tell you that a certain demographic men don't even pay.
34:44
SPEAKER_04: You have men that make you do all this strange shit and won't pay for or won't pay for shit.
34:49
SPEAKER_04: Or return the tricking.
34:50
SPEAKER_04: So it's just like, imagine you blow off a limp noodle and he just stands run off on a plug and you you you out what?
34:59
SPEAKER_04: Your dignity and your pride?
35:01
SPEAKER_04: For a bit.
35:02
SPEAKER_04: Girl, please.
35:05
SPEAKER_02: Mm-mm.
35:05
SPEAKER_02: Mm-mm.
35:07
SPEAKER_02: And then I'm like, who gonna be, who gonna be, who gonna be the doctors, who gonna be the lawyers, who gonna be the the teachers, who's gonna be the nurses, the daycare workers, the daycare owners, who are gonna be, like, who's that gonna be in the next 10 to 15, 20 years if we all gonna do this shit?
35:30
SPEAKER_04: Like, I just everybody wanna be, you know, everybody wanna be wool, everybody wanna rap, everybody wants to place where everybody wants to be an influencer.
35:38
SPEAKER_04: It's just like, but that's again, social media has a lot of people's realities warped.
35:44
SPEAKER_04: I do this shit for, and this is something TJ and I say on the black paradigm all the time.
35:49
SPEAKER_04: I do this shit for the enjoyment, but never once had I ever had the thought to wake up and all I'm gonna quit my job and do this full time.
35:57
SPEAKER_04: Nigga, what?
35:59
SPEAKER_04: No.
36:03
SPEAKER_04: No, no.
36:06
SPEAKER_04: I want to form one K, I want to be able to go to Dr.
36:08
SPEAKER_04: Insurance.
36:09
SPEAKER_02: Like, no.
36:11
SPEAKER_02: That's right.
36:13
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so um last thing to say on that subject cancel that bitch immediately.
36:22
SPEAKER_04: I just want to know if she takes her own device.
36:24
SPEAKER_04: And if she takes her own device, why don't she got more than one suit to put on?
36:27
SPEAKER_04: But anyway.
36:29
SPEAKER_04: Um shit.
36:31
SPEAKER_04: All right, bo.
36:32
SPEAKER_04: You you got Cardi on the list.
36:34
SPEAKER_04: What you want to say about Bella Calice?
36:36
SPEAKER_04: Cardi, yes.
36:37
SPEAKER_02: Cardi has a new song out titled Aha.
36:41
SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
36:42
SPEAKER_02: Aha.
36:43
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
36:44
SPEAKER_02: Um, Cardi is looking fine as hell.
36:47
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
36:48
SPEAKER_02: Um, I don't give a fuck what y'all say about her damn body.
36:51
SPEAKER_02: I don't give a fuck how much she paid for that shit, who did her body.
36:55
SPEAKER_02: I don't give a damn.
36:56
SPEAKER_02: And then I heard motherfuckers too talking about how she was she smoked cigarettes.
37:00
SPEAKER_02: Cardi got right on live and said, Y'all bitches out here doing horse tranquilizers and got nerdy talking about me and my motherfucking cigarettes.
37:07
SPEAKER_02: Let Cardi do her, okay?
37:09
SPEAKER_02: God damn, all this shit.
37:14
SPEAKER_02: Let her smoke a cigarette.
37:15
SPEAKER_02: Damn, it's way worse shit going on out here than smoking some cigarettes.
37:20
SPEAKER_02: Anyways, but yes, Cardi's new song is out.
37:24
SPEAKER_02: Um, it's really good.
37:25
SPEAKER_02: She did clear the air.
37:26
SPEAKER_02: There's a line in there that she wanted to make sure people understood what she was saying.
37:31
SPEAKER_02: Basically, to summarize, she was just saying that, you know, no man can trap her.
37:37
SPEAKER_02: Um, and she was saying that no matter how many children she has by a man, she will, and she said this on another live too.
37:45
SPEAKER_02: She was like, I'll take the kids, the dog, the cat, and my pussy and get out of there.
37:50
SPEAKER_02: I was like, oh, okay, card, no problem.
37:53
SPEAKER_02: Um so she stands on that, that, you know, she's not gonna sit around and deal with the disrespect, uh, the cheating, the lying, even if she does have kids with a man.
38:08
SPEAKER_02: And I and I respect her for that wholeheartedly.
38:11
SPEAKER_02: We talk about women's empowerment, you know, shifting gears from what we just talked about.
38:15
SPEAKER_02: That to me speaks to true women's empowerment and making sure that you put yourself and your respect first, putting your you and your kids first.
38:26
SPEAKER_02: Um, there's so many women I feel like they stick around with a man who mistreats them because I have kids and I don't want to break up this home.
38:36
SPEAKER_02: When in reality, sticking around with a man or a woman, um, because there's some ain't shit ass women out here too.
38:43
SPEAKER_02: Uh sticking around, yep, yep.
38:44
SPEAKER_02: So sticking around, you know, and you're actually doing your children a worse-off disservice by them sitting around and digesting that toxic ass relationship, then picking them up and getting the fuck out of there.
38:58
SPEAKER_02: So shout out to Cardi.
38:59
SPEAKER_02: The song is hot.
39:01
SPEAKER_02: She got nothing but the hits, nothing but the hits, nothing but the hits coming out, swinging.
39:06
SPEAKER_02: Um, she also mentioned that, you know, she would love to go back on tour.
39:11
SPEAKER_02: Me and Ashley was just talking about this before we hopped on.
39:13
SPEAKER_02: I believe a new album is on its way.
39:16
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
39:17
SPEAKER_02: And she did say that she's got a lot of features that she has to get done first before she can really pour into her own album, but I believe it's on the way.
39:28
SPEAKER_02: And yeah, she also said because I I follow Cardi on everything, so I'll be catching her lives.
39:34
SPEAKER_02: Uh, but she also said that since Aha is doing so many numbers, because she didn't really put out an actual visual for it, but she's like, everybody's asking her for it.
39:43
SPEAKER_02: So she should be coming out with an actual music video for it soon.
39:49
SPEAKER_04: I had with um in my The Drama.
39:53
SPEAKER_04: She didn't really, she could have released a video for had it pretty.
39:56
SPEAKER_04: She, I think the only video she had was safe with Kelani.
40:00
SPEAKER_04: And yeah, have a music video for outside.
40:04
SPEAKER_04: Let me see.
40:04
SPEAKER_04: Is she?
40:06
SPEAKER_04: I know Up had one, but Up I don't think was on that album.
40:10
SPEAKER_04: Uh oh, it wasn't.
40:13
SPEAKER_04: Cardi didn't and and Cardi is a Cardi, and one thing you can't take away from people like Cardi, Megan Italian, especially when you think about new age artists.
40:23
SPEAKER_04: So like a Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, um, Doja Cat, Monet, Other Kendrick Lamar in there, and it's a few others, but them five off the top of my head, they always have bomb ass visuals.
40:43
SPEAKER_02: I'm trying to think.
40:44
SPEAKER_02: What was another one?
40:45
SPEAKER_02: It was something, it was another song from Am I the Drama that she did a s a visual for.
40:51
SPEAKER_02: But it wasn't many.
40:52
SPEAKER_02: It definitely wasn't many that she did for them.
40:56
SPEAKER_01: Since it was only one.
40:58
SPEAKER_04: Damn.
41:00
SPEAKER_04: Oh, as you're like, you're right, I lied.
41:04
SPEAKER_04: Um, wait, wait, hold on.
41:06
SPEAKER_04: Let me look at the maybe this crazy.
41:10
SPEAKER_02: Um I just miss, I miss good ass music videos anyway.
41:20
SPEAKER_02: She had a video for imaginary players.
41:23
SPEAKER_02: She did?

48:59
SPEAKER_02: Um, just like there's good news.
49:02
SPEAKER_02: Brittany.
49:04
SPEAKER_02: There is some bad news.
49:06
SPEAKER_02: Brittany Greiner and her wife are separating uh after I think how many years?
49:14
SPEAKER_02: Six, eight years of marriage.
49:16
SPEAKER_04: Eight years of marriage.
49:18
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
49:19
SPEAKER_04: Here's the gag.
49:21
SPEAKER_04: Before Britney was with before Britney was married to Sherelle, she was married to Glory Johnson.
49:27
SPEAKER_04: But Brittany was with Sherelle in college.
49:32
SPEAKER_04: Brittany left Sherelle, got with Glory Johnson, got married, they got engaged, had them twin babies, and Britney moved on like nothing happened, married Sherelle, they had their kid, their kid, and now she's asking for divorce.
49:46
SPEAKER_04: I'm just like, this woman was fighting for you tooth and fucking nail.
49:49
SPEAKER_04: Yay! Granted, we don't know what's going on behind the scenes.
49:53
SPEAKER_04: So again, I if I'm wrong, I will come on here and stand corrected and apologize.
49:57
SPEAKER_04: But I'm just like, your traffic ain't looking good, sister.
49:59
SPEAKER_04: It looked like it's you.
50:01
SPEAKER_04: Yes.
50:02
SPEAKER_04: Just terrible after all of that.
50:05
SPEAKER_04: And I'm just like, it's like you moving like a straight, you move like a nigga.
50:11
SPEAKER_04: You having kids with these women, and just you know, I'm just like, because you don't even talk about the twins you had with Laura Johnson.
50:21
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I didn't even know that.
50:22
SPEAKER_02: That's news to me.
50:24
SPEAKER_02: I did not know that.
50:25
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I thought the way she was moving, she was acting like that baby with her wife was her first baby.
50:33
SPEAKER_01: Girl, that's crazy.
50:36
SPEAKER_01: Wow.
50:37
SPEAKER_04: So she did Sherelle dirty fucking twice.
50:40
SPEAKER_04: Like I said, Brittany and Sherelle were together in college.
50:43
SPEAKER_04: They was together.
50:44
SPEAKER_04: You leave Sherelle for Glory Johnson because Britney and Glory was both female basketball players.
50:49
SPEAKER_04: You and Gloria, I think y'all just got to engage that.
50:52
SPEAKER_04: I don't think they got married.
50:54
SPEAKER_04: She got pregnant with twins, had the twins, and you leave her because plus there was a lot of domestic violence going on.
50:59
SPEAKER_04: And I remember this.
51:00
SPEAKER_04: There was a lot of domestic violence going on between Britney and Glory.
51:04
SPEAKER_04: Then you get with Sherelle, get well, no, you get back with Sheryl.
51:09
SPEAKER_04: You do write about her, you get married, have this baby, and the baby looks still significantly young.
51:17
SPEAKER_04: I don't even think that baby is one, or if it's one, it's not two.
51:21
SPEAKER_04: The baby is hella young.
51:23
SPEAKER_04: Mm-hmm.
51:24
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
51:24
SPEAKER_04: So it's looking like you the problem, sister.
51:29
SPEAKER_04: I don't listen.
51:30
SPEAKER_04: We don't condone when niggas do it.
51:31
SPEAKER_04: I'm not finna condone it when we do it.
51:33
SPEAKER_04: Like if nope.
51:34
SPEAKER_04: And we I feel like it's I'll really be set in how I feel if and when we know more details.
51:44
SPEAKER_04: Cause it just seemed like because I felt like I was just watching an interview with Brittany, and Brittany was just singing Sherelle's good praises.
51:51
SPEAKER_04: So I was just like, you know, like, damn.
51:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, to us, it's like it came out of nowhere.
51:58
SPEAKER_02: So yeah, I wanna, I would love to know more.
52:01
SPEAKER_02: Cause I was like, damn, I thought they were good.
52:03
SPEAKER_04: Like it's like you don't want to say, but is it cheating about like something something going on?
52:09
SPEAKER_04: Uh-huh.
52:10
SPEAKER_04: So yeah.
52:12
SPEAKER_04: It's is is is giving very much something.
52:20
SPEAKER_01: I'm glad it says you um you going back to your girl.
52:28
SPEAKER_04: Girl, unfortunately.
52:29
SPEAKER_04: So first of all, Ariana Grande, I this is why I can never fully settle into her as a fan.
52:39
SPEAKER_04: Because I love her music.
52:41
SPEAKER_04: But I just think it's so, first of all, it's so fucking weird how every three years you have a new accent or a new look or personality or you look like another race.
52:49
SPEAKER_04: Because when you was Aim Big Sean, Keanu, get your ass over here.
52:53
SPEAKER_04: Speaking in the blacks and shit, now you coming off looking like, well, that's she wants to.
52:57
SPEAKER_04: I don't know what you want to do, sister.
52:59
SPEAKER_04: But she called herself, she was in an interview, and she calls herself kind of feeling like she's disappointed in her fans.
53:06
SPEAKER_04: First of all, I'm not gonna mention the weight and body image.
53:09
SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna leave that out of it.
53:10
SPEAKER_04: Because again, ever since Chadwick, I've definitely been a lot more cognitive on how I talk about people and how they present themselves weight-wise.
53:18
SPEAKER_04: So I'm not even we're just gonna go strictly off, girl.
53:22
SPEAKER_04: Every time you work on a project, you switch relationships, which is fine, do you?
53:27
SPEAKER_04: But you were fucking with that man who played SpongeBob on Broadway.
53:31
SPEAKER_04: He was fucking married.
53:33
SPEAKER_04: And you knew that.
53:34
SPEAKER_04: Granted, it's his marriage, his marriage, but damn, girl, like we're not gonna sit up here and act like you wasn't you didn't break a marriage up.
53:44
SPEAKER_04: Like, yeah, that's that's terrible.
53:46
SPEAKER_04: I hope he feels dumb as hell because she left you to get back with an old ex.
53:49
SPEAKER_04: She's with a dude named Ricky now, who I think she was with in the past.
53:53
SPEAKER_04: So it's just like, girl, as a woman, and as, and then it's just like I feel like she used to vantilized so much.
53:59
SPEAKER_04: People still look at her as a teenager.
54:00
SPEAKER_04: Ariana Grande, I think, is two years older than me.
54:04
SPEAKER_04: Damn.
54:06
SPEAKER_04: She knows what she's doing.
54:08
SPEAKER_04: Yes.
54:09
SPEAKER_04: She knows what she's doing.
54:11
SPEAKER_04: I did not know that.
54:13
SPEAKER_04: Yes.
54:14
SPEAKER_04: If not two years, listen, but she's older than me.
54:17
SPEAKER_04: So it's just like, girl, you know, you you you make these bad choices that reflect on your brain.
54:23
SPEAKER_04: Because as a woman, for you to have a majority woman audience and you appease to a lot of young girls, it's just like you're not sending the right message.
54:31
SPEAKER_04: You breaking up marriages and shit.
54:32
SPEAKER_04: You thank you next, and and talking about taking somebody nigga.
54:36
SPEAKER_04: It's just like, girl, grow up.
54:38
SPEAKER_04: Take part of what you did.
54:40
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
54:42
SPEAKER_03: You know.
54:42
SPEAKER_02: I did not know she was that old.
54:44
SPEAKER_03: I'm looking up now.
54:46
SPEAKER_02: It's crazy that you say that because I can remember when what's the what's the woman's name that played um on the movie as her uh alongside her in that uh rebo?
54:59
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
54:59
SPEAKER_02: But what the hell was that when she was like protecting her some shit from paparazzi or some shit that time?
55:08
SPEAKER_04: Girl.
55:10
SPEAKER_04: That I just feel like in 20 years, we're just gonna get a special.
55:15
SPEAKER_01: Did you see that?
55:17
SPEAKER_04: Huh?
55:18
SPEAKER_01: Do you see that message up there?
55:21
SPEAKER_03: No.
55:22
SPEAKER_03: What is I don't see anything, sister.
55:28
SPEAKER_02: It said um there was a message that came across that there we had to, it said we had to stop your recording and then restart it because there was a change in your audio.
55:38
SPEAKER_04: Oh, mine's still recording.
55:40
SPEAKER_04: I didn't see anything.
55:42
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
55:43
SPEAKER_02: Is it still, does it say like how long we've been recording?
55:46
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, 5508.
55:49
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
55:50
SPEAKER_02: Cause mine has started over.
55:53
SPEAKER_04: Oh.
55:54
SPEAKER_04: Well, we'll see when we stop because honey, I Okay.
55:58
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
55:59
SPEAKER_04: Maybe it'd be okay.
56:00
SPEAKER_04: I saw you and everything, so I was just like, uh.
56:03
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
56:04
SPEAKER_01: Okay, we'll see.
56:05
SPEAKER_02: Um, but yeah, that was weird.
56:07
SPEAKER_02: When that happened, I was like, why is she like protecting her?
56:10
SPEAKER_02: That's another reason why I assumed she was like significantly younger than uh yeah, like that was weird.
56:19
SPEAKER_01: That was strange.
56:21
SPEAKER_01: Really strange.
56:25
SPEAKER_02: I never was a big Ariana Grande fan.
56:28
SPEAKER_02: I always just kind of felt like she was like a like a fake and phony type of chick.
56:33
SPEAKER_04: So I really but here's the thing.
56:36
SPEAKER_04: I don't like her as a person, like as a personality, because I don't know her as a person, right?
56:42
SPEAKER_04: That's very personal.
56:44
SPEAKER_04: But it was just something I just couldn't give up.
56:46
SPEAKER_04: But I loved her songs like Sweetener, Seven Rings, I love POV, thank you, I loved her music or songs, but to get with her and no.
56:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
57:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
57:04
SPEAKER_04: But yes, honey.
57:06
SPEAKER_04: So and then, girl, you want to talk about Usher and Chris Brown?
57:12
SPEAKER_02: Girl, oh my God.

SPEAKER_02: But the tickets were so damn expensive, and I was just like, no, I'd rather just take a take my family on a trip.
57:41

57:48

SPEAKER_02: Everybody's reposting this chick that goes on the stage and, you know, does not kiss, well, not kiss, but does not like entertain, I guess, the situation between her and Usher after she's been called on stage.
59:59
SPEAKER_02: But she kind of like, you know, it's kind of like the way she looks, it's like she's almost disgusted or like frozen and doesn't want to participate in the interaction.
1:00:11
SPEAKER_02: And, you know, she's catching a bunch of backlash because people are like, Why the hell did you go up there in the first place?
1:00:16
SPEAKER_02: You should have just said no.
1:00:18
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
1:00:19
SPEAKER_02: So much so that she decides that she's gonna go and address the internet about why and how she got on the stage.
1:00:29
SPEAKER_02: So then there was talk.
1:00:30
SPEAKER_02: She was like, you know, it's not my fault that I look good and pretty privileged.
1:00:36
SPEAKER_02: Girl, it just went like real left.
1:00:40
SPEAKER_02: And I was like, bitch.
1:00:41
SPEAKER_02: Very much just wanted attention.
1:00:43
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
1:00:44
SPEAKER_02: Like, ew, like, girl, shut the fuck up.
1:00:48
SPEAKER_04: Like, seriously.
1:00:49
SPEAKER_04: Um, I was like, oh, you know, she didn't have to do it.
1:00:52
SPEAKER_04: She went, but then I was just like, bitch, you could have said no and let them move on to somebody else.
1:00:58
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
1:00:59
SPEAKER_02: Then I just seen, you know, a picture pop up.
1:01:03
SPEAKER_02: I just seen a picture pop up where I guess the guy or husband I don't know if he's her husband or boyfriend, is like they're they're standing together and he's like, this is why she, you know, was doing what she was doing on the stage.
1:01:16
SPEAKER_02: Look at me.
1:01:17
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, what the ooh girl.
1:01:21
SPEAKER_02: Like, what are we what are we doing?
1:01:23
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, people just oh, I'm just so sick of people getting clout and fame and shit off the dumbest shit.
1:01:34
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, how did she become like this fucking meme and like I'm getting all over social media?
1:01:42
SPEAKER_04: This like uh the whole shouldn't have got time that you was acting, saying they went on stage next.
1:01:47
SPEAKER_04: Yes.
1:01:48
SPEAKER_04: Why does her story matter?
1:01:50
SPEAKER_02: Like the shit that we like repost, and I'm just like, Lore.
1:01:55
SPEAKER_02: And even I did it because the meme was funny as fuck, though.
1:01:58
SPEAKER_02: The one about going back, going back to work.
1:01:59
SPEAKER_02: I thought that shit was funny.
1:02:01
SPEAKER_02: It was like work, and then me and her leaning back side did repost that one.
1:02:04
SPEAKER_02: But I'm just like, how did this become?
1:02:07
SPEAKER_02: I think what really is irritating is like a week later when people are still talking about it, it's just like, okay.
1:02:14
SPEAKER_02: Like, don't nobody give it a stop.
1:02:16
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:02:17
SPEAKER_02: Like, please.
1:02:19
SPEAKER_02: So.
1:02:19
SPEAKER_04: So Nashville show made headlines because of this bitch.
1:02:25
SPEAKER_04: Baby, Usher ain't never coming back.
1:02:26
SPEAKER_04: Nashville ever game'd, okay?
1:02:29
SPEAKER_04: He found it.
1:02:30
SPEAKER_04: He's like, you know what?
1:02:31
SPEAKER_04: Nashville.
1:02:34
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
1:02:35
SPEAKER_04: And one of the last most disturbing topics I want to talk about, and I want to talk about the annual study that is released from the National Low Income Housing Coalition, the NLIHC.
1:02:48
SPEAKER_04: So they break it down by state.
1:02:51
SPEAKER_04: I want to play the beginning part of a video that I want you guys to listen to.
1:02:55
SPEAKER_04: We're going to discuss, well, discuss it further, per state of Tennessee, but kind of how it affects everybody, right?
1:03:03
SPEAKER_04: So, you guys listen to this.
1:03:05
SPEAKER_04: This is from a creator by the name of Miss the King of Yarn.
1:03:17
SPEAKER_00: Show this to your parents when they say they don't believe you, that you can't afford to live.
1:03:23
SPEAKER_00: The National Low Income Housing Coalition just published their out-of-reach report that shows you exactly how much you would need to make to afford an average two-bedroom rental.
1:03:35
SPEAKER_00: Not even talk about home, not to talk about home, affording a two-bedroom rental home, how much you would need to make per hour.
1:03:42
SPEAKER_00: In zero states in the United States of America, can you afford a two-bedroom rental home on 725?
1:03:52
SPEAKER_00: If we take Puerto Rico out of the equation, which is not a US state, it is a territory.
1:03:57
SPEAKER_00: Zero state, can you afford a two-bedroom rental home on 725?
1:04:03
SPEAKER_00: 825, 925, 1025, the minimum amount of money that you would need to make in the cost of living state in the United States of America is in West Virginia at$19.23 an hour.
1:04:19
SPEAKER_00: Meaning that you need to make standard$20 an hour just to afford a two-bedroom rental home.
1:04:25
SPEAKER_00: In 2026, California surpassed$50 an hour.
1:04:30
SPEAKER_00: $50 an hour.
1:04:31
SPEAKER_00: In 2025, none of the US states did you need to earn$50 an hour on average to afford a two-bedroom rental home in California.
1:04:46
SPEAKER_04: So yeah.
1:04:48
SPEAKER_04: So I went, I was curious because I didn't even know the National Um Low Income Housing Coalition was a thing, and that they researched this every year just about the housing crisis and the cost of living and all that stuff.
1:05:00
SPEAKER_04: So let's go to the good old state of Tennoke, shall we?
1:05:04
SPEAKER_04: So Tennessee, oh wait, no, that's Texas.
1:05:07
SPEAKER_04: Maybe Ed.
1:05:08
SPEAKER_04: Hold on.
1:05:09
SPEAKER_04: I was like Okay, Tennessee.
1:05:11
SPEAKER_04: We're number 31.
1:05:14
SPEAKER_04: The minimum wage in the state of Tennessee is$7.25.
1:05:20
SPEAKER_04: Just for a two-bedroom rental, which includes a rental house or an apartment, we should at least be making$26.21 to survive.
1:05:30
SPEAKER_04: The number of rental households that that was reported was$933,708.
1:05:39
SPEAKER_04: Almost a million.
1:05:48
SPEAKER_04: The average cost of a two bedroom fair market rent is going to be$1,363.
1:05:55
SPEAKER_04: Working at minimum wage of$7.25 an hour each week.
1:06:00
SPEAKER_04: You have to at least work 125 hours to afford a modest one-bedroom rental at fair market rate.
1:06:07
SPEAKER_04: Now, if there's 24 hours in one day, seven days a week, 24 times 7, that's 168 hours.
1:06:16
SPEAKER_04: So of the 168 hours you have in a given week, you have to work 125 hours of those to at least afford your apartment, which leaves you 43 hours to work, do whatever the responsibility in the sleep, right?
1:06:30
SPEAKER_04: To afford a modest one-bedroom rental at fair market rent, um, yeah.
1:06:36
SPEAKER_04: To afford a four-bedroom house on your own, the average person should at least be making$50 an hour.
1:06:43
SPEAKER_04: So you kind of see how the disconnect from old generations and bitches like Caroline Levitt that calls a new generation or people under the age of 40 lazy.
1:06:53
SPEAKER_04: Well, we can't afford nothing.
1:06:56
SPEAKER_04: Everything is, you know, everything is just gas, food, not to mention all these fucking recalls, medicine.
1:07:04
SPEAKER_04: Like if my grandma didn't have Medicare for a basic 30-day supply of one of her medications will cost$2,000 for 30 pills.
1:07:12
SPEAKER_04: Who has that money?
1:07:13
SPEAKER_04: I know people personally that pays about$2,000 in daycare a month.
1:07:19
SPEAKER_04: Yes, same.
1:07:20
SPEAKER_04: Car notes are ridiculous because obviously the administration we have, the tariffs, the traveling, the straight and harm use, a basic car, the car note for like a basic two, a basic four doors today and a smaller one at that, I'm paying the same car note as somebody who has a knee size center and I have a small mid-sized SUV.
1:07:40
SPEAKER_04: How does that make sense?
1:07:43
SPEAKER_04: The cost of services.
1:07:44
SPEAKER_04: Why is it that you know, to get my nails done, a basic French tip is$125.
1:07:50
SPEAKER_04: When$125 just to get your eyebrows, your nails, your feet done and tip, and you probably will still have$40 left over.
1:07:59
SPEAKER_04: When you're looking at, you know, you go to a restaurant, gratuity, gratuity, tip, gratuity, but what's going on?
1:08:08
SPEAKER_04: Even the cost of electronics.
1:08:10
SPEAKER_04: Like, I'm gonna go buy another mouse for my um one of my other computers, and it was just like$30 for a basic mouse.
1:08:18
SPEAKER_04: Just everything is so phone, like Apple fucking us over bad.
1:08:22
SPEAKER_04: Like every time you pay off a devices, shit just stopped working, and we don't have options in the states for phones.
1:08:28
SPEAKER_04: Either you have an Apple, a Samsung, or you get in the Google phone, which basically Google falls damn near with everything because Google's on all the technology.
1:08:37
SPEAKER_04: AI is taking over.
1:08:38
SPEAKER_04: Like college is expensive in the States.
1:08:41
SPEAKER_04: To get educated is expensive in the States to get certs in everything fucking cost.
1:08:47
SPEAKER_04: Not to mention a lot of these rivers and natural lakes that we have that provide water to a lot of different states and people on an everyday basis are drying up because these corporations are doing it on purpose to marginalize and call and pay for fucking water and they're using all these waters for all these punk-ass data centers.
1:09:05
SPEAKER_04: Fisk University, right here in Tennessee, it's gonna have a data center on it.
1:09:09
SPEAKER_04: Of all the universities, you chose the HBCU.
1:09:12
SPEAKER_04: Interesting.
1:09:14
SPEAKER_04: So you kind of see how it's just like I feel like they're just trying to break the American people and just bring back slavery.
1:09:20
SPEAKER_04: Because what else do y'all want us to do?
1:09:22
SPEAKER_04: Not to mention it's like everything we're saying is being washed and surveilled.
1:09:27
SPEAKER_04: These cameras, these body cameras, essentially what's gonna happen is I think I'm gonna have to go back to pen and paper and write down my thoughts because it's just like there's nothing sacred no more.
1:09:36
SPEAKER_04: You know what in my bank, you know what I'm doing, because there's a digital footprint of everything.
1:09:41
SPEAKER_04: You know what I'm watching, what I spend my money on, you know what I'm talking about on the phone because y'all are fucking listening.
1:09:46
SPEAKER_04: And that, and for whatever reason, this week, I've seen about 10 of my favorite content creators across platforms, whether TikTok, YouTube, um, Instagram basically say, like, hey, I'm gonna stop talking about politics.
1:10:00
SPEAKER_04: Shit, in a way, that burned me in the ass with my job.
1:10:03
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:10:04
SPEAKER_04: So it's just like, what do y'all want from us?
1:10:07
SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
1:10:08
SPEAKER_02: I think it goes back to something that you and TJ say on the black paradigm a lot that sticks with me is that elections have consequences.
1:10:17
SPEAKER_02: I think that's where I go back to, you know, when we talk about this, I mean, clearly it has affected so many um avenues of life, just daily life, whether it is gas prices, the food that we consume, how right now um, you know, we are scared to eat certain, you know, certain foods, um freaking uh global warming, climate change, uh health care.
1:10:51
SPEAKER_02: I mean, it just affects every avenue.
1:10:54
SPEAKER_02: And that's why it's so important to make sure that you are going out to both these local elections as well as um presidential elections.
1:11:05
SPEAKER_02: And I mean, because this is a top-down, it's a top-down situation of who you are putting in that seat, who is gonna fight for the things that really affect you, things that are most important to you.
1:11:19
SPEAKER_02: And we clearly have someone in that top seat who could care less about how much rent is compared to what we get paid an hour.
1:11:28
SPEAKER_02: It's just it is what it is.
1:11:30
SPEAKER_02: Don't give a fuck, you don't give a fuck about how your ass is driving to work.
1:11:33
SPEAKER_02: Hell, you don't give a fuck if your ass can work at all.
1:11:37
SPEAKER_02: And so I think it just it just boils down to that we got to get out here, got to get off our ass, um, you know, and get to these poles and put people in these seats who are gonna do right by us.
1:11:52
SPEAKER_02: And that's just where, that's just where I am with it.
1:11:55
SPEAKER_04: I wish we had a Mandami everywhere, because he actually making change in the city of New York.
1:12:01
SPEAKER_04: Mm-hmm.
1:12:02
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
1:12:03
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
1:12:06
SPEAKER_01: But girl.
1:12:09
SPEAKER_02: Anything else?
1:12:12
SPEAKER_02: No, I hate to leave on that note, but I think it's a note that we all need to be very, very aware of.
1:12:18
SPEAKER_04: Um that we gotta get out here and we gotta vote.
1:12:22
SPEAKER_04: One thing I wanna leave y'all with is something even more demented.
1:12:25
SPEAKER_04: It's a subsector of parents that are using bell peppers to make cupcakes in.
1:12:34
SPEAKER_04: If somebody was to give me a damn bell pepper with a chocolate cupcake bake, I'm airing the place out.
1:12:41
SPEAKER_01: What is that?
1:12:44
SPEAKER_01: Ew.
1:12:46
SPEAKER_01: No.
1:12:48
SPEAKER_01: What the fuck?
1:12:49
SPEAKER_01: Don't bring that shit to uh your kids' school.
1:12:52
SPEAKER_01: Okay?
1:12:53
SPEAKER_01: It's like Ugh.
1:12:56
SPEAKER_01: That's disgusting.
1:12:57
SPEAKER_01: What the fuck?
1:12:59
SPEAKER_01: Ew.
1:13:00
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I know.
1:13:01
SPEAKER_04: If somebody had I had to see it, y'all y'all gonna see it too.
1:13:05
SPEAKER_04: That's gross.
1:13:07
SPEAKER_02: Just throw the whole just throw the whole idea away.
1:13:09
SPEAKER_02: If you can't make regular ass cupcakes, don't make that shit at all.
1:13:13
SPEAKER_02: Like, that's gross.
1:13:14
SPEAKER_04: But there are healthier things, but to bake the shit in a dam, and then she you icing it and putting girl, if you don't.
1:13:23
SPEAKER_04: Just be doing shit.
1:13:25
SPEAKER_02: Ugh.
1:13:27
SPEAKER_02: But yeah.
1:13:28
SPEAKER_02: Um, I hope that you all have a wonderful week this week.
1:13:33
SPEAKER_02: August has started.
1:13:35
SPEAKER_02: Kids are going back to school.
1:13:38
SPEAKER_02: So I pray that this is a safe school year for all of us headed back into the classroom or into these school buildings.
1:13:48
SPEAKER_02: Um, I've already started praying over my school.
1:13:51
SPEAKER_02: Every time I go in my school, I'm saying a little prayer.
1:13:54
SPEAKER_02: But yeah.
1:13:55
SPEAKER_04: So I hope y'all have a great week.
1:13:57
SPEAKER_04: Yes, and y'all, if y'all can get out of voting, like Diamond just said, get out and vote in your local elections because elections have consequences.
1:14:05
SPEAKER_04: And look at the consequences we are facing.
1:14:07
SPEAKER_04: And it just pisses me off because I kind of wish elections only affected the people.
1:14:12
SPEAKER_04: Like, if you voted for them, this shit should just affect you, but it affects all of us.
1:14:17
SPEAKER_04: So yeah.
1:14:18
SPEAKER_04: But it's a pleasure doing this with my good sister again, and we will be back.
1:14:24
SPEAKER_04: That's right.
1:14:25
SPEAKER_04: All right, bye you guys.
1:14:26
SPEAKER_04: Bye.
