- 0:37Speaker 2: to The Grind today, I am preparing for family to
- 0:42Speaker 2: come in town.
- 0:43Speaker 4: Y'all know how that goes.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Like whenever you're hosting, you just I feel like you
- 0:48Speaker 2: think about everything that could possibly like not go the
- 0:53Speaker 2: way it normally goes when you're home alone.
- 0:56Speaker 4: But when family comes in town, it's like things just
- 0:58Speaker 4: pop up.
- 0:59Speaker 2: And you know, when people in town and you're hosting them,
- 1:01Speaker 2: you want everything to be like smooth, you want them to.
- 1:03Speaker 4: Be comfortable, you want them to have a good time.
- 1:06Speaker 2: So, I mean, I did the grocery shopping thing, things clean,
- 1:11Speaker 2: like I've done all the things last week and when
- 1:14Speaker 2: I had the time, knowing that this week would be
- 1:16Speaker 2: kind of crazy. But I'm still sitting here thinking of
- 1:19Speaker 2: like little things that I'm not for sure if I
- 1:24Speaker 2: like have or if I have set up, or if
- 1:25Speaker 2: I have ready. So just a little anxiousness around that.
- 1:28Speaker 2: And I don't even know why I'm anxious about that,
- 1:30Speaker 2: because some of my family that is coming up there,
- 1:35Speaker 2: they're excited.
- 1:36Speaker 4: They want to go to watch the Breakfast Club tape.
- 1:39Speaker 2: But some of my family that is doing that, they've
- 1:42Speaker 2: already been here to my home.
- 1:44Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't know. It's just first it's like Jitters.
- 1:49Speaker 2: I was gonna say first time Jitters, but again it's
- 1:51Speaker 2: not first time, but it's just like Jitters a little bit.
- 1:53Speaker 2: But I'm excited though, to even be able to be
- 1:55Speaker 2: at the place where, like you know, I'm back home,
- 1:59Speaker 2: closer to family and able to have family come up,
- 2:03Speaker 2: spend the night, get the experience like what a day
- 2:05Speaker 2: in my life is like with a day in my
- 2:06Speaker 2: world is like. That was like always something for me
- 2:09Speaker 2: that when I was living in LA that I really
- 2:12Speaker 2: really missed and not even missed because I never had
- 2:15Speaker 2: it before I moved to La. I was right out
- 2:18Speaker 2: of college. So it's not like I had, you know,
- 2:20Speaker 2: apartment homes set up people could come to and all
- 2:22Speaker 2: that I was.
- 2:22Speaker 4: Figuring out life.
- 2:24Speaker 2: But I just knew that it was something that I wanted,
- 2:26Speaker 2: being a person that's like so family oriented and family like,
- 2:32Speaker 2: you know, like I rely a lot on my family,
- 2:34Speaker 2: but I've always wanted to be able to like host them,
- 2:36Speaker 2: have them come up, come over. And that's why I'm
- 2:38Speaker 2: actually looking forward to buying a home somewhere in the
- 2:43Speaker 2: New York area. I am really excited to get studied
- 2:45Speaker 2: on that. Every time my family is talking about coming
- 2:49Speaker 2: to visit me and stuff in my apartment, it makes
- 2:51Speaker 2: me be like, all right, this is amazing, but like
- 2:54Speaker 2: way until I buy a home and I could do
- 2:56Speaker 2: like the family cookouts at my house and stuff like that.
- 2:59Speaker 4: And I was thinking about all this today.
- 3:01Speaker 2: I'm like, girl, you are really an adult now, Like
- 3:06Speaker 2: you are like getting excited to buy patio furniture so
- 3:12Speaker 2: that people can sit out on the patio and like
- 3:15Speaker 2: have a good time and you know, like that type
- 3:16Speaker 2: of thing.
- 3:17Speaker 4: I'm like, sister, girl, you're getting old now.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Like it's just there, like the time is there on
- 3:23Speaker 2: my god, Laine at thirty four. Wow, And there are
- 3:26Speaker 2: some people listening to this that about be like, girl,
- 3:28Speaker 2: you are a baby. But I don't know in my
- 3:31Speaker 2: mind thirty four in the way I thought about it,
- 3:35Speaker 2: like in thirty five, it was really thirty five for me,
- 3:39Speaker 2: Like I remember being younger and thinking about what I
- 3:41Speaker 2: would be doing and what I would have happening at
- 3:43Speaker 2: thirty five, Like I thought I.
- 3:45Speaker 4: Was going to be married by now, children in a home.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Like it just felt so grown when I wasn't when
- 3:55Speaker 2: this age, like when I was younger, and now I'm
- 3:57Speaker 2: this age and I don't feel like an adult yet,
- 4:00Speaker 2: Like I feel so not fully responsible and still putting
- 4:04Speaker 2: the pieces to the puzzle, but I'm doing wrong things.
- 4:07Speaker 2: So yeah, today I was going down that whole rabbit hole,
- 4:10Speaker 2: like you really the auntie You're gonna be showing up
- 4:14Speaker 2: with box line next. Okay, now let's get on into
- 4:21Speaker 2: the latest talk about some things.
- 4:23Speaker 4: Okay, now let's get right into it.
- 4:26Speaker 2: So Chelsea Handler, a comedian, talk show hosts, podcaster, actress,
- 4:33Speaker 2: sat down with Dion Cole also comedian actor Dion Cole
- 4:38Speaker 2: Funny to Know You, which is his podcast that he does,
- 4:40Speaker 2: and in this podcast, I really love his show. It's
- 4:43Speaker 2: a sit down, one on one segment. It's literally it's
- 4:46Speaker 2: very chill though, Like he has a variety of guests
- 4:48Speaker 2: everybody from comedians to actors, to musicians to just you
- 4:52Speaker 2: know friends of his and the business in the industry.
- 4:54Speaker 4: They sit on the couch reflect through moments.
- 4:57Speaker 2: But I feel like on this show, the moments that
- 5:00Speaker 2: are the best are when he has comedians there number one,
- 5:06Speaker 2: but comedians of a certain era or genre.
- 5:08Speaker 4: So Chelsea Handler.
- 5:09Speaker 2: When I saw her on the show, I wasn't surprised
- 5:12Speaker 2: to see her, but I was interested to see how
- 5:14Speaker 2: the conversation was going to go because I think the
- 5:16Speaker 2: pocket I love to see Dion cole in is when
- 5:18Speaker 2: he talks to like the Tashina Arnolds. I love to
- 5:21Speaker 2: hear him in that pocket of like you know, like
- 5:23Speaker 2: that def comedy jam old school.
- 5:27Speaker 4: Like get like you know what I mean.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Like, I think I get so much out of his
- 5:32Speaker 2: guests because they're not guessed to him, even though they
- 5:35Speaker 2: are the colleagues, and they share stories differently, Like it's
- 5:40Speaker 2: just like a really good conversation. Sometimes his show to
- 5:43Speaker 2: me is like it's the black og comic sit down
- 5:48Speaker 2: version of like what drink Champs is to hip hop,
- 5:50Speaker 2: if that makes sense, and get what I'm saying. Okay,
- 5:53Speaker 2: But anyway, Chelsea Handler's on the show, and Dean can
- 5:55Speaker 2: talk to anybody. He's one of those people who can
- 5:56Speaker 2: talk to anybody. So the conversation was great. Go check
- 5:59Speaker 2: it out if you have not already. But she got
- 6:02Speaker 2: into the roast and she talked about the fact that
- 6:07Speaker 2: she did not like the racist jokes at the roast.
- 6:10Speaker 4: And I mean, she's a white comedian, so let's take
- 6:12Speaker 4: a listen.
- 6:13Speaker 3: I mean, did you like this shit they were saying
- 6:15Speaker 3: out there?
- 6:16Speaker 5: No?
- 6:17Speaker 3: I mean it was ick, it was gross. There's not
- 6:19Speaker 3: I don't find those jokes to be funny.
- 6:21Speaker 6: Junked about lynching black people, or like lynching is not
- 6:27Speaker 6: if Joe is not, that's worse than rape.
- 6:29Speaker 3: Like you're not joking.
- 6:30Speaker 4: About rape, are you?
- 6:31Speaker 3: Are you saying I don'mbody go rape you?
- 6:33Speaker 6: You know you can't do that, but you can say
- 6:35Speaker 6: lynching like I find that to be I don't know.
- 6:38Speaker 3: You know, people like it's a roast.
- 6:39Speaker 4: You go for it.
- 6:40Speaker 6: I'm like, you can go for it without being gross,
- 6:43Speaker 6: Like I find that to be gross.
- 6:45Speaker 3: I found them making fun of Eryl Underwood's like dead
- 6:48Speaker 3: husband who committed suicide, Like, you know, she's fine with that.
- 6:53Speaker 3: If she says she's fine with that, she's fine with that.
- 6:55Speaker 3: I wasn't fine with that. I thought that was disgusting too.
- 6:59Speaker 6: But there was so much much disgusting this that I
- 7:01Speaker 6: knew it was going to be such a like gross
- 7:04Speaker 6: vibe that I would be able to elevate it no problem,
- 7:08Speaker 6: and that's what I want to do.
- 7:10Speaker 2: I don't know if I was surprised to hear her
- 7:12Speaker 2: say that or not, Like a part of me wasn't
- 7:15Speaker 2: surprised to hear her say that, because I don't know,
- 7:18Speaker 2: Like I don't know how to describe it, Like I
- 7:19Speaker 2: saw some people in the comments of this post when
- 7:22Speaker 2: it started to go viral, like Chelsea Handler has always
- 7:25Speaker 2: been invited to the cookout, and I don't be knowing
- 7:28Speaker 2: how I felt about that whole cookout invite thing. I
- 7:30Speaker 2: feel like sometimes we just let people do things a
- 7:33Speaker 2: little bit too much, and that's how we end up
- 7:35Speaker 2: in situations where people are.
- 7:36Speaker 4: Joking about things like George Floyd and his death.
- 7:39Speaker 2: But Chelsea Handler has never given me like all right,
- 7:43Speaker 2: so you got like white, like all right, there's white people, right,
- 7:45Speaker 2: Like y'all know, it's the white people in the world.
- 7:48Speaker 2: You got white white people who are very oblivious to
- 7:52Speaker 2: what is happening outside of their bubble of whiteness and privilege.
- 7:55Speaker 4: Chelsea Handler has never given me that.
- 7:58Speaker 2: I mean not just because she didn't have had a
- 8:01Speaker 2: couple of black men run through her.
- 8:03Speaker 4: That's not shay. She talks about it openly and they
- 8:06Speaker 4: joked about it at the Rose.
- 8:07Speaker 2: But she's just never given me like a you know,
- 8:10Speaker 2: to be a person opposite black culture who isn't aware
- 8:14Speaker 2: of the fact that she enjoys our culture, that there's
- 8:19Speaker 2: a respect level that should be there for a culture,
- 8:20Speaker 2: but also that she understands she's a white woman in
- 8:24Speaker 2: the world and what that.
- 8:25Speaker 4: Comes with, and you know what I mean, all those
- 8:27Speaker 4: things right.
- 8:28Speaker 2: So I wasn't surprised because she's always struck me as that.
- 8:33Speaker 2: But I was surprised because I don't know, I be
- 8:35Speaker 2: feeling like when it comes to like white entertainers, or
- 8:41Speaker 2: not even just white entertainers, but non black entertainers in
- 8:45Speaker 2: mainstream media spaces, one of the things I feel like
- 8:49Speaker 2: they do very well is like they don't have to,
- 8:53Speaker 2: like ever be like called out about anything to the
- 8:58Speaker 2: point where they feel like they have to actually answer
- 9:00Speaker 2: to it. I mean, and if they do, they have this,
- 9:05Speaker 2: they have this the way that they maneuver through the
- 9:08Speaker 2: world and through society where it's like, I mean, when
- 9:11Speaker 2: Luis c K was canceled, when Kevin Spacey was canceled, right, like,
- 9:16Speaker 2: statements were put out, things were said, but like they
- 9:18Speaker 2: still maneuver through the world as if somebody owed them something.
- 9:23Speaker 2: And so hearing her just volunteered the fact that like,
- 9:28Speaker 2: oh no, they were on bullshit and should be held
- 9:31Speaker 2: accountable for it. I just didn't expect to hear that
- 9:34Speaker 2: because of that that notion, especially in Hollywood, because of
- 9:39Speaker 2: all of the powers that being. You'll know, that whole
- 9:41Speaker 2: conversation about you know what is the minority and the
- 9:43Speaker 2: majority in Hollywood. I don't know, I just it kind
- 9:46Speaker 2: of it just surprised me a little bit just to
- 9:48Speaker 2: hear her call them out, But it didn't surprise me
- 9:52Speaker 2: at the same time. Now, they didn't get into a
- 9:55Speaker 2: conversation about how she felt seeing black people laugh at
- 9:59Speaker 2: the gy.
- 10:00Speaker 4: Kevin Hart included, Let's take a listen, when you.
- 10:02Speaker 5: See black people laughing at that, does it make you
- 10:06Speaker 5: so all right whatever, or do you think to yourself,
- 10:10Speaker 5: what the fund.
- 10:11Speaker 4: Are they laugh from that before?
- 10:12Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not here to tell black people what's
- 10:14Speaker 6: funny I call about black.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Jokes like, No, I'm not here in the world to
- 10:18Speaker 3: do that. Like I know enough to just that's my opinion.
- 10:21Speaker 3: I don't like that. I also don't like the N word,
- 10:23Speaker 3: But I have plenty of black friends wh should toss
- 10:25Speaker 3: that around all the time. It's not my.
- 10:27Speaker 6: Place to say, oh, that word makes me feel uncomfortable.
- 10:30Speaker 6: You know, Black people are allowed to do whatever they want.
- 10:32Speaker 6: If Kevin thinks that's funny, he thinks that's funny. I
- 10:35Speaker 6: don't think it's funny.
- 10:36Speaker 2: But her answer was brilliant. Stay in your lane, understand
- 10:39Speaker 2: what you Kenny can't do? Why not you know what?
- 10:43Speaker 2: I love it, Nah, Chef's kiss to her understanding that
- 10:47Speaker 2: ain't none of your business at all. We appreciate an ally,
- 10:51Speaker 2: but we don't need the white savior, and that is
- 10:54Speaker 2: not what she's doing. And that's why I appreciate, you know,
- 10:56Speaker 2: the way she went about this. Now, I will say
- 10:59Speaker 2: I'm very interested to hear from Kevin Hart. No one
- 11:03Speaker 2: has heard from Kevin Hart in any of this, outside
- 11:05Speaker 2: of the thank you that he posted the day after
- 11:08Speaker 2: the roast, We're kind of talked a little bit about
- 11:11Speaker 2: the backlash he was receiving from some of the racist
- 11:14Speaker 2: jokes that were jokes that were made by the white comedians.
- 11:15Speaker 4: Let's take a listen.
- 11:17Speaker 7: That on frond is what you gaing'still supposed to be,
- 11:21Speaker 7: Scott damn hard hitting, letless jokes and no consequence. Shets
- 11:28Speaker 7: out every comedian that came on that stage, because they
- 11:30Speaker 7: all understood the assignment. Man, there's no emotions attached to
- 11:34Speaker 7: a roast. Let me tell you, jokes we understand that
- 11:37Speaker 7: they gonna come with and heat, so all in the
- 11:39Speaker 7: efforts of being funny.
- 11:40Speaker 6: It's that simple love.
- 11:42Speaker 4: Yeah, But this was literally like the day after the roast.
- 11:45Speaker 2: The roast is almost two weeks old now and we're
- 11:48Speaker 2: still having a conversation about it, and no one's really
- 11:50Speaker 2: heard anything directly from Kevin Heart. So I'm interested to
- 11:53Speaker 2: hear how he feels, because it seems like a lot
- 11:56Speaker 2: of the people literally there on the stage were just
- 11:59Speaker 2: as comfortable as some of the people watching it. But
- 12:02Speaker 2: I mean, but there are people that are like jokes
- 12:04Speaker 2: or jokes, you know what I'm saying. So yes, moving
- 12:09Speaker 2: on right, Speaking of Hollywood, the mainstream, the conversations, it
- 12:14Speaker 2: was announced that current up Brunson my girl ooh, he got.
- 12:20Speaker 4: Money, she didn't. Came a long way from that viral video.
- 12:24Speaker 2: She is going to be starring in and developing a
- 12:26Speaker 2: new Betty Boop movie that is going to be coming
- 12:29Speaker 2: to theaters now. She's her and her production company called
- 12:34Speaker 2: Fifth Chance Productions. It's partnering with Mark Fleischer, who is
- 12:38Speaker 2: the grandson of Betty Broup creator Max Fleischer, and Fleiescher
- 12:43Speaker 2: Studios on the project. Now, this is important because Max
- 12:47Speaker 2: Fleischer some mini many many many years ago, was actually
- 12:51Speaker 2: a part of the legal proceedings that went down when
- 12:55Speaker 2: the original Betty Boop idea was being contested in court
- 12:59Speaker 2: about where the inspiration came from. Now, a lot of
- 13:01Speaker 2: you guys are you know, are probably sitting here like, wait,
- 13:04Speaker 2: what how is Quincon Brunston going to be the Betty
- 13:07Speaker 2: Boot character.
- 13:08Speaker 4: Wasn't Betty Boot a white girl baby?
- 13:12Speaker 2: No? This is a I love this because I feel
- 13:15Speaker 2: like the history behind Betty Boot, the history behind the
- 13:18Speaker 2: conversation of Betty Boop, will actually get it's just due.
- 13:22Speaker 4: In a theater.
- 13:23Speaker 2: So Esther Jones aka Baby Esther is that black woman
- 13:28Speaker 2: who is literally known as the inspiration for Betty Boot
- 13:33Speaker 2: but sadly enough, not known amongst the masses as this.
- 13:36Speaker 4: So Esther Jones or Baby Esther.
- 13:39Speaker 2: She was a child performer and she would do the
- 13:41Speaker 2: cotton clubs within like the nineteen thirties era, right, And
- 13:44Speaker 2: when she would go and do the cotton club she
- 13:47Speaker 2: had this like baby scat that she would do, so
- 13:49Speaker 2: that infamous the Betty Boot boot boop, like that whole
- 13:53Speaker 2: thing literally came from her actual performance, and she was
- 13:58Speaker 2: known for all of the scatting that she did and
- 14:00Speaker 2: Harlem and her look everything right. And some years ago
- 14:06Speaker 2: there was a Betty Boop play on Broadway, I believe
- 14:09Speaker 2: it was like a year or so ago, there was
- 14:10Speaker 2: a Betty Boot play on Broadway that actually attempted to
- 14:14Speaker 2: give Esther Jones her flowers, but again still not as
- 14:19Speaker 2: widely talked about. But there was a black woman named
- 14:22Speaker 2: jazz Line Amy Rodgers who played her. And even then
- 14:25Speaker 2: she talked a lot about how people would come to
- 14:27Speaker 2: the play and it would be twofold. It would be
- 14:29Speaker 2: like people would either come and be like, oh my god,
- 14:32Speaker 2: I didn't know Betty boot was inspired originally by a
- 14:34Speaker 2: black woman, a black jazz singer, or there'd be people
- 14:37Speaker 2: who would come, especially people of a certain age generation
- 14:41Speaker 2: that would come and be like, we are so happy
- 14:43Speaker 2: to see one of us up there telling this story
- 14:46Speaker 2: because this is the original roots of Betty Boop. Now,
- 14:50Speaker 2: some years ago I mentioned the legal proceedings that the
- 14:56Speaker 2: Fullisher family were involved in because there was a white
- 15:00Speaker 2: woman named Helen Kine who had always alleged and even
- 15:04Speaker 2: to this day so allegend that she was the original
- 15:07Speaker 2: inspiration for the Betty Boop character. And she actually sued
- 15:10Speaker 2: Max Fleischer, who is the grandfather of the guy that
- 15:17Speaker 2: Quinton Brunson is going to be doing this movie with.
- 15:20Speaker 2: And when she sued him, she sued him when it
- 15:23Speaker 2: was one of the original Betty book cartoons that came out.
- 15:27Speaker 2: She sued him because she said that her likeness was being.
- 15:30Speaker 4: Used against her will. She sued, she.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Tried to sue for a ton of money. Now, during
- 15:35Speaker 2: his trial, you know baby esther. She of course was
- 15:39Speaker 2: not in court during the trial, though it was always
- 15:42Speaker 2: reported as if she was alive during the time, but
- 15:44Speaker 2: she just didn't come to court. Her manager ended up
- 15:47Speaker 2: coming to court though, and testified about, you know, the
- 15:50Speaker 2: actual origin of Betty Boop, how this woman Helen Kane
- 15:54Speaker 2: had actually come and saw Betty Boop or Esther actually
- 16:00Speaker 2: performing in Harlem at some of the clubs and then
- 16:02Speaker 2: took the style and kind of created it in her
- 16:06Speaker 2: own way and ran with the narrative that she was
- 16:08Speaker 2: the person who inspired this. There was some sort of
- 16:11Speaker 2: screen test that is now like lost and can't be
- 16:14Speaker 2: found that was shown by the defense in court to
- 16:17Speaker 2: prove that, you know, Esther Jones and Betty Boop was
- 16:21Speaker 2: a whole conversation, our baby Esther was a whole conversation
- 16:25Speaker 2: prior to this woman named Helen Kane. Now the Supreme
- 16:29Speaker 2: Court at the time of this threw this out. They
- 16:31Speaker 2: said that there was not enough evidence for her to
- 16:33Speaker 2: show what she was claiming and through this whole thing out.
- 16:38Speaker 2: And it's been reported that Esther Jones passed away and
- 16:43Speaker 2: never got her just do, so that cirk case happened.
- 16:45Speaker 2: She passed away and never got ads do. But now
- 16:47Speaker 2: the movie is coming. Now there is no word on
- 16:50Speaker 2: the specific storyline of the movie, but it is said
- 16:54Speaker 2: that you know Quinta is going to be able to
- 16:59Speaker 2: talk about the impact on culture for nearly a century.
- 17:02Speaker 2: She gave a statement to Variety, and she said, Betty

- 17:16Speaker 2: After Aaron and I met with Mark and learned more
- 17:18Speaker 2: about his grandfather's creation of Betty, I realized there was
- 17:21Speaker 2: much There was a much deeper story to tell, one
- 17:24Speaker 2: that could be explored in a way that feels refreshing,
- 17:26Speaker 2: submersive and timeless, much like Betty herself. So Mark Fleiescher,
- 17:31Speaker 2: who was again the grandson of Max, who went through
- 17:34Speaker 2: that whole original court case, and you actually got his

- 17:42Speaker 2: with the unique concept of a movie about the relationship
- 17:44Speaker 2: of my grandfather, Max Fleicher and his creation Betty Boop,
- 17:48Speaker 2: I was breathtaking. Quinta so embodies Betty's love of life, intelligence, humor, sassiness,
- 17:54Speaker 2: and compassion that the relationship between her as Betty and
- 17:58Speaker 2: Max first into life at it'samere mention.
