- 4:10Speaker 1: with It's Chris White.
- 4:11Speaker 3: T after cancel flight after you.
- 4:14Speaker 1: You be dealing with, You be dealing with the airline.
- 4:16Speaker 3: You know what it is? The weather.
- 4:17Speaker 2: The weather is very moody right now, and you could
- 4:21Speaker 2: guarantee if it's if it's flashed on warning and you
- 4:24Speaker 2: got a flight to catch in New York on the
- 4:25Speaker 2: East Coast, it's probably not gonna happen.
- 4:27Speaker 1: You know what else I noticed too, Atlanta will be
- 4:30Speaker 1: quick to ground and not let flights go out like Atlanta.
- 4:34Speaker 1: And I didn't know, because it's such a big fucking airport.
- 4:37Speaker 1: I didn't think it would be that much issues. It's
- 4:40Speaker 1: always something with Atlanta.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing too, is what I'm now learning
- 4:44Speaker 2: having these experiences is that the planes are not coming
- 4:48Speaker 2: in or they're delayed from.
- 4:49Speaker 3: Their origin because of the weather.
- 4:51Speaker 2: So once the once they figure out two or three times,
- 4:54Speaker 2: that's pretty much.
- 4:55Speaker 3: You know, that's their window. That's it. Then you gotta
- 4:58Speaker 3: rebook if you can rebook.
- 5:00Speaker 2: In my case, I think I was supposed to come
- 5:02Speaker 2: back Saturday, and there was no flights with the Green,
- 5:06Speaker 2: the Green and.
- 5:07Speaker 3: White until until Tuesday.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Oh ship.

- 5:19Speaker 2: I had to leave from Philly. I had to drive

- 5:27Speaker 2: pay fifteen hundred dollars a day.

- 5:33Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
- 5:34Speaker 2: I don't have the points like men remix nah, but seriously,
- 5:40Speaker 2: that was my only option. I was like, this is
- 5:42Speaker 2: I was gonna go on. There's a new airline that
- 5:45Speaker 2: leads out of the small Mark, the small airports Avello.
- 5:48Speaker 2: I think it's a bellow A V e l O.
- 5:51Speaker 3: I was gonna do.
- 5:51Speaker 2: That, but I would have had to go to Connecticut
- 5:54Speaker 2: that comes to Atlanta.

- 7:23Speaker 4: I could my eyes stopped working after a certain time
- 7:26Speaker 4: of the day.
- 7:27Speaker 3: I couldn't see it. But ya ya yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 7:32Speaker 3: big big tomorrow energy. Well let's let's tomorrow.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Let's get into uh you and your ignorant thoughts, and
- 7:39Speaker 1: let's let's have a little combo.
- 7:41Speaker 3: Oh so yeah. So the other day I was this
- 7:44Speaker 3: is a random thought.
- 7:45Speaker 5: This wasn't even really sparked by anything in particular, but
- 7:49Speaker 5: I was thinking about, you know, like we got this
- 7:51Speaker 5: election coming up in November, the mid terms, we do
- 7:54Speaker 5: twenty eight, We got a new presidential election, and we
- 7:56Speaker 5: know it seems like nobody knows what's going to happen
- 7:59Speaker 5: in this presidential election, right, Like we're pretty sure jd
- 8:02Speaker 5: Vance is going to run for the other side, but
- 8:04Speaker 5: like who else might pop out the woodwork, We don't know.
- 8:06Speaker 5: We talked a little bit a few weeks ago about
- 8:08Speaker 5: Kamala looks like she might be trying to dip her
- 8:11Speaker 5: toe back into this thing, but like there's gonna be
- 8:14Speaker 5: some unexpected things that pop up, candidates whatnot. So I
- 8:17Speaker 5: was thinking like who could be the next president and
- 8:21Speaker 5: not just who could be the next president, but like
- 8:23Speaker 5: what minority group could become has the best chance of
- 8:28Speaker 5: becoming like next Already? I feel like this is some
- 8:30Speaker 5: shit that would end up on Calci or on prize pick.
- 8:36Speaker 3: Yeah, right, yeah, that.
- 8:37Speaker 5: Could be six to seven you said group. Yeah, so like,
- 8:41Speaker 5: is the next president going to be like a straight
- 8:43Speaker 5: black woman? Is the next president going to be somebody
- 8:46Speaker 5: in the LGBTQ community? Is could the next president be
- 8:50Speaker 5: somebody Muslim, somebody Latino? Like what what underrepresented group could
- 8:56Speaker 5: be like the dark horse to become the next president.
- 9:00Speaker 4: President or the next Democrat nominee?
- 9:03Speaker 5: Oh okay, that's that is a more specific question that
- 9:06Speaker 5: limits the amount of people because it was like, is
- 9:13Speaker 5: THEREAMI like cut his way and boot lick his way
- 9:18Speaker 5: to becoming like the time Republicans on the Republican side, Right,
- 9:21Speaker 5: but yeah, if if you're talking about Democrat versus Republican, yeah, Jay,
- 9:24Speaker 5: I think that limits narrows the field a little bit.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Ignorant. I'm gonna go ahead and just say it. A
- 9:33Speaker 1: straight black woman's at the bottom of the total that's
- 9:35Speaker 1: gonna be. I think I think.
- 9:39Speaker 3: Hold on the last, Okay, damn, I think what.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Else has the least Muslim?
- 9:46Speaker 3: I'm sorry I was last.
- 9:49Speaker 1: I think that the country is still so ignorant to
- 9:53Speaker 1: Muslim We are all still it still almost seems still
- 9:59Speaker 1: very fresh from not eleven.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Even here was to justify their racing ignorant take is
- 10:05Speaker 2: that every day that well, not only that.
- 10:06Speaker 1: I am hoping he sues the dog ship out of there.
- 10:09Speaker 1: But did y'all see the recent Muslim guy whose phone
- 10:14Speaker 1: just went off into the prayer, but it's one of
- 10:16Speaker 1: his alarms and the flight attendant alerted. They detoured and
- 10:23Speaker 1: did an emergency stop in Atlanta.
- 10:26Speaker 3: If you can't actually in Atlanta, they.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Did an emergency stop in Atlanta. I think they were
- 10:30Speaker 1: heading to Florida. Could you look this up to see
- 10:32Speaker 1: what airline it was? I hold this man sued the
- 10:36Speaker 1: dog ship out of this airline. Literally it was just
- 10:39Speaker 1: his phone that came off, but it was just a prayer.
- 10:42Speaker 4: Southwest airlines there, we got all.
- 10:47Speaker 3: Southwest airlines.
- 10:49Speaker 4: Could you read what happened in this case, Jason Yes,
- 10:53Speaker 4: Southwest Airlines flight traveling from Tennessee to Florida was diverted
- 10:56Speaker 4: and made an emergency landing in Atlanta after a passenger's
- 10:59Speaker 4: phone along arm trigger the device played the the Islamic
- 11:03Speaker 4: called a prayer, which caused concern confusion among crew members.
- 11:08Speaker 3: And that is the next level.
- 11:16Speaker 1: And I want to say racist, but it's just ignorance ship.
- 11:19Speaker 3: But I will say I will say this though.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Let's be clear Tennessee to Florida, right, so let's we
- 11:26Speaker 2: know the demographic of that plane.
- 11:28Speaker 1: The fighters alerted and diverted the plane to an emergency landing.
- 11:34Speaker 4: He l even better if if it brings you comfort.
- 11:37Speaker 4: They just described it as a misunderstanding, and they didn't.
- 11:42Speaker 3: I am the suit of dogs ship matilt misunderstanding?
- 11:46Speaker 2: Well, why couldn't they process what that was in real
- 11:49Speaker 2: time rather than having to stop the whole plane and inconvenience.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Old these people ignorance?
- 11:53Speaker 3: Because what you could google this ship? Oh ship, that's
- 11:56Speaker 3: they're about to do the like. But but what does
- 11:59Speaker 3: like if you the flight attendant and you hear Arabic prayer, like,
- 12:02Speaker 3: what does that mean? Like the hot is coming? Like,
- 12:05Speaker 3: what do you say because you heard Arabic words mean?
- 12:10Speaker 3: Did they say what type the person? The fight attendant was?
- 12:12Speaker 1: Of course white?
- 12:13Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel I feel like it has to be.
- 12:15Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna lie. Black people are also
- 12:18Speaker 1: ignorant too, muscle.
- 12:19Speaker 3: But I don't think we would. I don't think you
- 12:21Speaker 3: start the point.
- 12:22Speaker 5: I think I think it was black attendants. I feel
- 12:25Speaker 5: like they were amongst themselves, like hey, they.
- 12:28Speaker 3: Say, hey, hey, sir, can you turn that down? It'll
- 12:30Speaker 3: be one of those right, we'll make it about the
- 12:32Speaker 3: noise and not the prayer. Correct, So you know what, I'm.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Not gonna lie now talking about this Muslim is below?
- 12:38Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm gonna say.
- 12:39Speaker 2: I think Muslim, how long did a long play?
- 12:42Speaker 3: Two checkings? Maybe he was probably sleep And that's what
- 12:45Speaker 3: the whole way.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Mostly I said, Muslim is below a black woman, and
- 12:52Speaker 1: then okay, tricky, here we go. I actually think I
- 12:57Speaker 1: actually think that the next the the next president could
- 13:02Speaker 1: be I would want to say half though I think Latino.
- 13:06Speaker 3: Yes, I think they.
- 13:09Speaker 1: I think if we had a president running that was
- 13:14Speaker 1: maybe not even Puerto Rican because the white still don't
- 13:16Speaker 1: even know that's a part of the US.
- 13:18Speaker 3: But a half like like Puerto Rican. Yeah, yeah, I'm
- 13:23Speaker 3: gonna say like a like a.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Doesn't have to be port It doesn't have to be
- 13:28Speaker 1: a Puerto Rican because you can be You could be
- 13:30Speaker 1: American born and be Latino from another country, right, true,
- 13:37Speaker 1: like because it's just about being born in that's done
- 13:41Speaker 1: camp run.
- 13:41Speaker 5: Right, which is also probably why they're going so hard
- 13:44Speaker 5: with birth right citizenship because.
- 13:45Speaker 3: They don't they don't. They probably don't. They're trying to
- 13:47Speaker 3: eliminate options.
- 13:49Speaker 1: That's what it's exactly what they're doing.
- 13:51Speaker 2: So I'm just thinking of connection to the country. That's
- 13:53Speaker 2: why I'm saying Puerto Rico.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Well did I did skip the lgbt Q plus, But
- 13:57Speaker 1: I will go out on a lemon, say we don't
- 14:01Speaker 1: already have to gay president. He was just on the
- 14:03Speaker 1: down load. Like I believe that a few of these niggas,
- 14:07Speaker 1: if you even the little curls they.
- 14:10Speaker 3: Was wearing back in the day, it was just it
- 14:12Speaker 3: was well they say Eisenhower was like playing that game.
- 14:16Speaker 3: He didn't want to.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Here we go, come out and what they said about
- 14:20Speaker 1: Alaho tell the people.
- 14:22Speaker 3: Well, no, I thought there was I don't want to thing. Yes,
- 14:28Speaker 3: there was rumors.
- 14:32Speaker 1: But Amy, Dad, what you gonna do?
- 14:34Speaker 4: We just questioned, do you think Trump has tendencies?
- 14:38Speaker 1: You know what's crazy Trump is if if Trump was
- 14:44Speaker 1: in the closet, I would one hundred percent believe he
- 14:47Speaker 1: was a bottom because only because do y'all see on
- 14:53Speaker 1: South Park? And maybe this is me just really believing
- 14:57Speaker 1: he got that little strip dick like they show in
- 14:59Speaker 1: South Park. I'm like, where is that going?
- 15:01Speaker 3: I think Trump like pumpum. I don't think he's I
- 15:03Speaker 3: don't I think he's like.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Because if you look at like Trump his early day,
- 15:10Speaker 2: like seventies and eighties, how he was very high profile
- 15:13Speaker 2: celebrity in linelight.
- 15:14Speaker 3: He loved women. He just be around women a lot.
- 15:17Speaker 3: You never had no.
- 15:19Speaker 4: But the people, the people who talk about women too much.
- 15:21Speaker 4: It's like it's like the red flag and it's like, oh,
- 15:23Speaker 4: gorgeous women, Like I love women, women, women, women.
- 15:26Speaker 5: Well that's the thing about Eisenhower, right, what I was
- 15:29Speaker 5: gonna say, he looked it up.
- 15:30Speaker 3: Yeah. I was trying to make sure I had this
- 15:31Speaker 3: right because I didn't want to say it the wrong way.
- 15:33Speaker 5: So Eisenhower, when he was in office, he purged LGBT
- 15:38Speaker 5: people from federal jobs. They called it the lavender Scare,
- 15:43Speaker 5: where it was like anybody who he thought was gay,
- 15:45Speaker 5: rumored to be gay, thought was living in a quote
- 15:48Speaker 5: unquote alternative lifestyle.
- 15:49Speaker 3: He wanted all of those people purged.
- 15:51Speaker 5: And it was an actual law that he signed in
- 15:54Speaker 5: like the fifties, I believe about getting gay lesbian people
- 15:58Speaker 5: out of the federal government. So to me, that speaks
- 16:01Speaker 5: to the same thing Jay's talking about, Like, you hate
- 16:03Speaker 5: gay people too much.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Then you probably, like I, trying to compensate for something.
- 16:08Speaker 4: Right.
- 16:09Speaker 2: He doesn't want to have interactions with other people, identify,
- 16:11Speaker 2: identify who might see him, and be like, eliminate.
- 16:15Speaker 3: My, you know, in that community, and then he could
- 16:18Speaker 3: have free ranks, right, he could do his things.
- 16:19Speaker 5: So it was never confirmed, but that was always the
- 16:21Speaker 5: thing that people kind of talked about.
- 16:23Speaker 3: What it was, like, why are you going so hard?
- 16:26Speaker 1: I do want to say there was another president with speculations,
- 16:30Speaker 1: President James Buchanan. You never married and had a very
- 16:34Speaker 1: close friendship with William Rufus King who also never married.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Oh yes, so.
- 16:48Speaker 1: You know what of the minority groups, great, great ignorant
- 16:53Speaker 1: conversation too. I would say a Latino gonna take office.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Off about this A Latin woman? No, so that was
- 17:00Speaker 3: gonna be my next question though, think a Latin.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Women because of what we've seen in terms of galviny
- 17:06Speaker 2: galvanizing communities, galvanizing an agenda.
- 17:11Speaker 3: What we the sample size that we have now, I'm
- 17:13Speaker 3: gonna I would think this is gonna be a lot of.
- 17:16Speaker 5: People think AOC is gonna put her name in, So
- 17:20Speaker 5: we'll see how had the spirit and the energy to
- 17:22Speaker 5: go forward.
- 17:23Speaker 3: To do that thing.
- 17:25Speaker 5: That would be my next question is which of these
- 17:27Speaker 5: could cross over? Like could we have a gay Muslim president?
- 17:31Speaker 5: Could we have all due respect?
- 17:37Speaker 3: You can't.
- 17:40Speaker 4: Do this.
- 17:41Speaker 3: You only get.
- 17:43Speaker 2: What I'm saying, like like those cross streams and Muslim
- 17:48Speaker 2: and gay, Yeah, there might be, but I thought that
- 17:51Speaker 2: goes Christianity too, but it's gay Christians like they don't
- 17:55Speaker 2: care about what the Bible says and they live their
- 17:58Speaker 2: life because I've never seen I.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Mean, you're not going to see a gay Muslim.
- 18:02Speaker 5: I'm sure there's probably they have to be out there,
- 18:04Speaker 5: just the numbers that don't have to be I just
- 18:07Speaker 5: never you know, I thought.
- 18:08Speaker 1: There was do you be at the monsques?
- 18:10Speaker 3: Not at the monque? But I've been around like, you know,
- 18:13Speaker 3: you ever been a avenue Bedford?
- 18:15Speaker 1: Have you ever been in their bedrooms? You don't know
- 18:17Speaker 1: what they do behind closed door?
- 18:19Speaker 5: Like hold on there now that we're talking about that,
- 18:23Speaker 5: are there any publicly out Muslim gay celebrities what I'm saying,
- 18:29Speaker 5: I'm really.
- 18:30Speaker 3: Thinking about it now, Like damn, I don't know if
- 18:32Speaker 3: they're I don't know if I could name it.
- 18:33Speaker 5: Maybe over there, maybe overseas, there's people who have, you
- 18:36Speaker 5: know whatever, But in America, in American society, I don't.
- 18:39Speaker 5: I can't think of anybody who's openly gay and Muslim.
- 18:43Speaker 1: I mean in America.
- 18:45Speaker 4: A dude from a queer eye for what the guy
- 18:48Speaker 4: Tom France or whatever is he is a Muslim, He's Muslim.
- 18:53Speaker 2: Yeah, so I just it says, yes, there are many
- 18:57Speaker 2: gay Muslims navigated the intersection of faith and sexuality can
- 19:02Speaker 2: be complext droughe to traditional interpretations. Numerous individuals to identify
- 19:06Speaker 2: as both progressive organizations and welcoming communities. Exists to support
- 19:10Speaker 2: the LGBTQ plus Muslims through social and family acceptance.
- 19:14Speaker 3: Those social and family except.
- 19:15Speaker 1: I ain't gonna just ignorant.
- 19:17Speaker 3: Ha.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Wow, you're supposed to be sort of hope, but we're
- 19:24Speaker 2: not saying it did. Letting us informing us that this exists. Okay,
- 19:28Speaker 2: shout out.
- 19:28Speaker 1: To the you know, so, then let's let's put a
- 19:31Speaker 1: bow tie on this conversation with for the twenty twenty
- 19:35Speaker 1: eight presidential election. Do we have a minority bucket candidate
- 19:44Speaker 1: or is it still too early for that? I mean,
- 19:46Speaker 1: clearly maybe Kamala.
- 19:48Speaker 3: We do, yeah, of course.
- 19:49Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not Kamala or AOC. It's just gonna be
- 19:52Speaker 4: white men running the table. It's definitely how I'm putting
- 19:55Speaker 4: it on white men.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Okay, because the.
- 19:58Speaker 5: Way it's lining up, it sounds like it would be Kamala, AOC,
- 20:02Speaker 5: Gavin Newsome and maybe jos Shapiro Jo Shapiro.
- 20:06Speaker 3: Here like that, and that would probably that sounds like
- 20:08Speaker 3: the most likely for that.
- 20:10Speaker 1: ALC would be running for twenty twenty eight.
- 20:12Speaker 5: I don't know if she's ready for that yet. I don't,
- 20:14Speaker 5: but there's been speculation about what is she going to do.
- 20:17Speaker 4: Over the time more time in Congress than Obama did
- 20:20Speaker 4: when he ran.
- 20:21Speaker 3: That's true, her profile is probably higher than his.
- 20:25Speaker 2: She does have a higher problem than him at the time,
- 20:27Speaker 2: so at the time, but we can't play tip for
- 20:29Speaker 2: tat here either.
- 20:30Speaker 3: It's like this is the stakes is high right now.
- 20:32Speaker 2: So at the end of the day, it's like you
- 20:34Speaker 2: got to put your biases aside and say, yo, I
- 20:36Speaker 2: don't want to be locked up in cages.
- 20:39Speaker 3: That's simple.
- 20:39Speaker 5: Well, the question will become it's really not about the Democrats.
- 20:42Speaker 5: The question would be is how many cal we're asking this,
- 20:45Speaker 5: how many Republicans can we could get on this train
- 20:49Speaker 5: if that was the case.
- 20:51Speaker 4: But John, do you really think it's Do you think
- 20:52Speaker 4: it's that versus like just getting the Democrats excited to
- 20:55Speaker 4: come out, because you know, sometimes it's like they lose
- 20:58Speaker 4: because of like low terms. If you want to flip
- 21:02Speaker 4: a Republican as much as you'll get a Democrat to
- 21:05Speaker 4: just sit home because like I imagine a lot of
- 21:09Speaker 4: Democrats would sit home because they would be tired of
- 21:11Speaker 4: Kamala because they're saying she did it before extension of Biden.
- 21:14Speaker 3: I'm just not going to vote.
- 21:15Speaker 5: Well, the question, I guess I asked that because in
- 21:17Speaker 5: the era of Maga is like we saw Republicans basically
- 21:21Speaker 5: like hold their nose and vote for Trump, and we
- 21:23Speaker 5: saw Republicans who said, I voted for him once, I
- 21:26Speaker 5: can't do it no more.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Well, I'm curious at the Republicans knowledge of DeSantis and
- 21:34Speaker 1: what he stands for, because if DeSantis puts his hat
- 21:37Speaker 1: in the in the race, I'm really coming from a
- 21:41Speaker 1: Floridian voter and what he's done at, you know, in
- 21:46Speaker 1: Florida over the past. I don't know he's been there.
- 21:48Speaker 3: For a little while now, but definitely over the past.
- 21:50Speaker 1: But I would be very curious to know if there
- 21:55Speaker 1: would be any switch within the Republican voters as to
- 21:59Speaker 1: wanting to get someone probably more evil and wicked than
- 22:03Speaker 1: what we have right now in office. And I don't
- 22:06Speaker 1: know if people are aware that DeSantis is probably worse
- 22:09Speaker 1: than Trump, if anyone can imagine somebody worse than Trump
- 22:12Speaker 1: on policy and hate for He passed the He's the
- 22:16Speaker 1: one that removed the critical race theory out of the schools.
- 22:19Speaker 1: He passed the you can't say gay bill. He's very anti.
- 22:23Speaker 5: Everything was on Disneyland to not was it? I think
- 22:28Speaker 5: it was de I and yeah it might have been
- 22:31Speaker 5: even been LGBTQ stuff, But he.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Was aligned with marijuana being lee a lot of ship
- 22:38Speaker 1: that if he came in and start just I would
- 22:42Speaker 1: want you all to do y'all research on DeSantis, because baby,
- 22:44Speaker 1: that is the devil and.
- 22:45Speaker 4: We do not want, we do not want to go
- 22:47Speaker 4: on high heels.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and he on the.
- 22:51Speaker 3: The criss crossy with oh yeah crazy.
- 22:56Speaker 1: It's crazy. Well Andrew, Okay, now before we get to
- 23:01Speaker 1: this is America this week. Hello, gotta do a double
- 23:06Speaker 1: down or take it back? And you know what, this
- 23:12Speaker 1: past week has been quite interesting. I do have a
- 23:15Speaker 1: clip to play if you have been living under a
- 23:18Speaker 1: rock and didn't hear this clip recently went viral. So
- 23:25Speaker 1: let's go ahead and play the clip that got everybody's
- 23:28Speaker 1: paintings in a bunch over the last week. Agree everything
- 23:33Speaker 1: that you have if you're a woman that is focused
- 23:37Speaker 1: on making more, having your own career, bringing your own money,
- 23:39Speaker 1: absolutely I think. Okay, so this is gonna be my
- 23:41Speaker 1: hot take and no shade to either. And I know
- 23:44Speaker 1: I think marriage is for broke bitches, and so I
- 23:47Speaker 1: think a woman who wants to be married is leaning
- 23:50Speaker 1: more into the patriarchy and wants to be essentially possibly
- 23:53Speaker 1: taking care of how their man is the leader. All
- 23:55Speaker 1: of the ideals for me of what marriage looks like
- 23:57Speaker 1: is that. So I just saw my friends recently this weekend.
- 24:00Speaker 1: She like, did you want to be married? And I
- 24:01Speaker 1: literally said, yeah when I was poor as a woman
- 24:03Speaker 1: who can now like provide for herself, also doesn't want
- 24:06Speaker 1: motherhood and also sees a lot of these celebrity women
- 24:09Speaker 1: now having to continue working because they have to pay Allalony.
- 24:11Speaker 1: I mean, we have even podcasters now paying Alaloni shout
- 24:14Speaker 1: out to Rachel lindsay like, there's all these people that
- 24:16Speaker 1: once you make a certain amount of money, if if
- 24:18Speaker 1: your man doesn't, you have to pay them out. And
- 24:21Speaker 1: I just don't want to say that. I don't want
- 24:22Speaker 1: to be that. So I listened to this and I'm like,
- 24:30Speaker 1: this is what everyone is so up in arms about.
- 24:35Speaker 1: By the way, I want to clarify something. This episode
- 24:39Speaker 1: released in August of twenty twenty five. So this is
- 24:43Speaker 1: a conversation regarding my views on marriage, sitting with two
- 24:47Speaker 1: people who at the time did not yet have an
- 24:51Speaker 1: engagement ring, but was talking about how much they both
- 24:55Speaker 1: wanted to be engaged to be married. So Cammy and Weezy,
- 25:00Speaker 1: both at the time of this episode, were not married,
- 25:03Speaker 1: and so in a conversation with two women that want
- 25:07Speaker 1: to be married, and as a woman who does not
- 25:10Speaker 1: seek marriage, this was my hot take, and of course,
- 25:14Speaker 1: yes the delivery was awful. Okay, but maybe it's a podcast,
- 25:19Speaker 1: I gotta make it a little spicy to be fair.
- 25:23Speaker 1: I genuinely am someone that didn't grow up wanting or
- 25:28Speaker 1: thinking about my white dress or what venue or the
- 25:32Speaker 1: ring shape that I wanted, And even now today as
- 25:37Speaker 1: a woman with my own I just don't seek getting
- 25:40Speaker 1: into another business arrangement. I think I've shared this plenty
- 25:46Speaker 1: of times before. I think I even shared this on
- 25:48Speaker 1: this specific episode of Relationship with Kemmy Crawford. I have,
- 25:53Speaker 1: in my opinion experienced kind of two divorces already, of
- 25:59Speaker 1: course leaving thee where said person got perpetuity and I'm
- 26:05Speaker 1: still somehow attached to him all these years later. And
- 26:08Speaker 1: then of course with the end of see the thing
- 26:10Speaker 1: is where lawyers were involved, assets for stolen assets had
- 26:14Speaker 1: to be split court and all of that got involved,
- 26:18Speaker 1: that got sued after. I don't want to deal with that.
- 26:22Speaker 1: And unfortunately, as someone who doesn't lean heavily into the church,
- 26:27Speaker 1: I also don't remember if the conversation between or on
- 26:32Speaker 1: that particular podcast leaned into the church either so as
- 26:37Speaker 1: someone who doesn't lean heavily into religious beliefs in terms
- 26:41Speaker 1: of marriage, and as someone who doesn't seek to be
- 26:45Speaker 1: a trad wife, as someone who is also consuming and
- 26:49Speaker 1: talking to all these girls who apparently want their bills
- 26:53Speaker 1: paid on date one to me marriage. As it pertains today,
- 26:59Speaker 1: the divorce rate at fifty percent is heavily due to finances,
- 27:04Speaker 1: and a lot of people are currently dating with finances
- 27:08Speaker 1: in mind. Straight out the gate. I don't understand why
- 27:14Speaker 1: this was like such the hot take that it was.
- 27:17Speaker 1: I listen to this today and believe the same sentiment.
- 27:25Speaker 1: Mary J. Blige, Kelly Clarkson, Madonna, Wendy Williams, like the
- 27:32Speaker 1: list goes on and on. We are now seeing that
- 27:35Speaker 1: women don't have to be defined by the amount of
- 27:38Speaker 1: kids that they have, by partners, their ability to even
- 27:43Speaker 1: bear children, or a man claiming them because whoop do
- 27:48Speaker 1: you do? We see how y'all be out here embarrassing men,
- 27:52Speaker 1: and speaking of embarrassing men, the idea that the response
- 27:57Speaker 1: to this is that I am unmarriageable. I want to
- 28:04Speaker 1: lean into the fact that I'm not offended that a
- 28:08Speaker 1: man called me unmarriageable, but what I am offended by
- 28:13Speaker 1: is that someone who is unmarried, who got denied a
- 28:18Speaker 1: proposal on national TV, and someone who is prone to
- 28:22Speaker 1: self sabotage calls himself a terrible friend, is emotionally stunted,
- 28:28Speaker 1: is problematic, is jealous, all of these terrible adjectives to
- 28:34Speaker 1: describe himself, while also someone who has made bitches feel
- 28:38Speaker 1: uncomfortable in a room, while also being alleged to have
- 28:42Speaker 1: assaulted women and other things, has the nerve tous site
- 28:45Speaker 1: here and say I'm unmarriageable, as if that is the
- 28:49Speaker 1: eligible bachelor that we have to consider out here in
- 28:52Speaker 1: these streets. I swear to God, if my option is
- 28:56Speaker 1: to be wiped up or proposed to by a man
- 28:59Speaker 1: of that caliber, Jesus saved me. That's the other thing,
- 29:04Speaker 1: as women, whether it's our size, whether it's our weight,
- 29:08Speaker 1: our looks, whatever, the fact that a man with that
- 29:11Speaker 1: type of background, with that type of history can have
- 29:15Speaker 1: the nerve to hop on a microphone and shade me
- 29:20Speaker 1: for what he thinks I am and how I've lived
- 29:22Speaker 1: my life well. It is available in Noel's Bard, which
- 29:27Speaker 1: is a New York Times bestseller. Like you, Joe, I've
- 29:30Speaker 1: gone through therapy and I've sat here and made the
- 29:33Speaker 1: best of my life too. Okay, I'm glad that you're
- 29:36Speaker 1: no longer struggling with drugs. I'm glad that you are
- 29:40Speaker 1: a better person. I'm glad that you also are out
- 29:43Speaker 1: here on the GLP ones taking care of your house,
- 29:47Speaker 1: making yourself a better eligible bachelor because you're still technically
- 29:51Speaker 1: an eligible bachelor too, regardless of how many years you've
- 29:54Speaker 1: been in relations with whomever. My issue isn't that you
- 30:01Speaker 1: said I was unmarriageable. I have an issue with you
- 30:06Speaker 1: leading into the fact that it's because of my wildly popular,
- 30:10Speaker 1: my legacy horrible decisions as to being the reason why listen,
- 30:17Speaker 1: say what you want about horrible decisions, do it. All
- 30:21Speaker 1: I'm saying is nothing about what I've created is going
- 30:25Speaker 1: to make me less desirable than maybe I would be
- 30:29Speaker 1: to anyone who already saw me as less desirable.
- 30:32Speaker 6: That also being that, being.
- 30:36Speaker 1: That being the disc listen. I am blessed to have
- 30:44Speaker 1: worked on myself, both inside and out. I am blessed
- 30:48Speaker 1: to have been loved and as a woman, I am
- 30:52Speaker 1: blessed to experience choosing my partners because they respect me
- 30:59Speaker 1: and make me happy, and not being dependent on a
- 31:03Speaker 1: man and so I'm sorry if it really missed the
- 31:09Speaker 1: mark in my delivery. I say all of that to say,
- 31:13Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, I am so proud to be
- 31:17Speaker 1: able to say I don't want to be a mom.
- 31:20Speaker 1: I don't need to be chosen by a man to
- 31:22Speaker 1: have my value dictated by society, and I want more
- 31:29Speaker 1: women to strive to do that. Yes, in my twenties,
- 31:33Speaker 1: I didn't think i'd be able to travel to certain
- 31:35Speaker 1: countries without a man booking my ticket. That's not the
- 31:38Speaker 1: case now. I didn't know I'd be able to live
- 31:41Speaker 1: the way I live unless a man were to do it,
- 31:44Speaker 1: because unfortunately, that is kind of what I grew up around.
- 31:48Speaker 1: That's what I saw women wanting that and not my
- 31:55Speaker 1: case specifically. I mean, there's deep rooted into my thoughts
- 32:02Speaker 1: and views on women staying with abusive men and in
- 32:06Speaker 1: terrible homes because they didn't have any other choice. You
- 32:10Speaker 1: could date it back, maybe to the seventies, before women
- 32:12Speaker 1: could even get a bank account without living under a
- 32:15Speaker 1: man's roof. You could go back to when men needed
- 32:17Speaker 1: to give dowries to me, like when literal families were
- 32:21Speaker 1: pushing women to marry men they ain't even want. I
- 32:24Speaker 1: didn't watch Pride and Prejudice. What I said is nothing new,
- 32:31Speaker 1: and I didn't deliver it correctly. If you want to
- 32:35Speaker 1: be married, go be married. But I don't believe in
- 32:44Speaker 1: getting married to a man for stability, for tried wife, bullshit,
- 32:50Speaker 1: for a home over your head. I am pro ladies,
- 32:55Speaker 1: get it yourself. And what I'm not is for the
- 33:02Speaker 1: inceels hopping on the internet telling a woman where her
- 33:06Speaker 1: value is based on XYZ elemental p. There are sex workers,
- 33:15Speaker 1: porn stars, felons, there's all of these buckets of people
- 33:21Speaker 1: that are viewed as undesirable by society, and they're getting
- 33:26Speaker 1: married every day, They're finding love every day, and I
- 33:32Speaker 1: want that for them. I say all of this to
- 33:36Speaker 1: say I'm doubling the fuck down on everything that I said.
- 33:43Speaker 1: I'm not taking it back. And you know what, at
- 33:48Speaker 1: this point, in terms of aligning myself with a man,
- 33:51Speaker 1: I can do bad by myself. And I say all
- 33:58Speaker 1: of that to say, here we are, Here we are.
- 34:02Speaker 1: So I'm hoping that this is done with. And the
- 34:11Speaker 1: last thing I'll say, the last thing I'll say cross signals.
- 34:23Speaker 1: I don't you know what, I ain't even gonna go
- 34:25Speaker 1: there I ain't even go go there, but I'll say,
- 34:27Speaker 1: what a bitch I ain't never been at her motherfucking
- 34:30Speaker 1: life is a liar. And anybody who know me and
- 34:35Speaker 1: it pulls ass hold, it don't cross me. Anyone who's
- 34:39Speaker 1: worked with me, anyone who's been my friend, anyone who's
- 34:44Speaker 1: been my phe knows I ain't gotta lie, Craig. I
- 34:49Speaker 1: ain't never had to lie, Crag. I swell for God.
- 34:51Speaker 1: So whatever I've said in the last week, I said
- 34:54Speaker 1: it with my chest and meant it because ain't nobody
- 34:57Speaker 1: got a lie. Doesn't matter how long you've known me,
- 35:02Speaker 1: what body changes, you see me go through, what obstacles
- 35:06Speaker 1: I'd have been through.
- 35:08Speaker 7: Maybe.
- 35:12Speaker 1: I ain't got a lie, Craig. And on that note,
- 35:16Speaker 1: let's get to this is America. Let's get into this
- 35:23Speaker 1: is America baby, which is at this point just embarrasson.
- 35:28Speaker 1: Let's start with this Sandior ground case. John put us
- 35:32Speaker 1: up to what's happening with this NAACP case, and I'm
- 35:38Speaker 1: ready to talk about it because I love a little
- 35:40Speaker 1: Standiar ground case.
- 35:42Speaker 5: So back in twenty twenty five, there was a shooting
- 35:47Speaker 5: where a teenage boy, young man whatever, allegedly pulled out
- 35:54Speaker 5: a shotgun, aimed it at a couple of some black
- 35:57Speaker 5: people that were outside, and much like the other case
- 36:01Speaker 5: that we talked about, like black folks retaliated, they shot
- 36:04Speaker 5: back at the barbecue.
- 36:06Speaker 3: Yeah, the white the marine around.
- 36:08Speaker 5: There's a similar situation where this guy comes along with
- 36:11Speaker 5: the gun. Black people feel threatened, they fired back at him.
- 36:14Speaker 5: They end up shooting him, killing him. Okay, two black
- 36:19Speaker 5: men are two I guess they were teenager at the time.
- 36:21Speaker 5: Jamarian Byrd and Travis Roberts Junior were eventually arrested. This
- 36:27Speaker 5: is months after the incident, so they happened. Months went by,
- 36:31Speaker 5: everything was whatever. Then they were arrested and got charged
- 36:34Speaker 5: with first.
- 36:34Speaker 1: Degree murder by the way, only because you didn't say,
- 36:37Speaker 1: I think it's important to state that this took place
- 36:41Speaker 1: in Florida.
- 36:41Speaker 5: This did take place in Jackville, Florida, where you know
- 36:44Speaker 5: this is at that point. Florida is like the hotbed
- 36:47Speaker 5: of standing year ground. These cases that happened.
- 36:50Speaker 2: With Trayvon Martin and all these other places like this
- 36:53Speaker 2: is always the case in Florida.
- 36:56Speaker 1: It was the conversation even with the uh the woman
- 36:59Speaker 1: for the Netflix.
- 37:00Speaker 3: Shooter Lawrence, same thing. The the best neighbor. Yeah, something
- 37:08Speaker 3: like that.
- 37:10Speaker 5: The case, right, So these two brothers were charged with
- 37:14Speaker 5: first degree murder, which already sounds crazy because first degree
- 37:17Speaker 5: murder is usually about premeditation. They were defending themselves in
- 37:21Speaker 5: real time, So how did they premeditate that somebody was
- 37:24Speaker 5: going to come put a gun on them and they
- 37:26Speaker 5: were gonna have to shoot back. So I don't understand
- 37:28Speaker 5: that whole thing, but the judge in the case essentially
- 37:30Speaker 5: said that you shot back too much, that they fired around,
- 37:36Speaker 5: that the guy started to run away because he was
- 37:38Speaker 5: getting shot at and they kept shooting. He was still
- 37:41Speaker 5: holding his gun, so they probably thought, well, this guy
- 37:43Speaker 5: is still a threat. He just tried to shoot at us.
- 37:46Speaker 5: They kept shooting until they got it. And the judge
- 37:48Speaker 5: is basically saying that when he turned around and ran off,
- 37:53Speaker 5: the incident was over and you were supposed to stop shooting.
- 37:56Speaker 5: And this is the thing that happened, that he was retreating.
- 37:58Speaker 5: He was retreating and so and this happens a lot
- 38:01Speaker 5: in cases where you're in the heat of the moment,
- 38:04Speaker 5: someone's trying to kill you and you shoot because you
- 38:07Speaker 5: feel under threat.
- 38:10Speaker 1: While he's explaining this, can you pull up the case
- 38:12Speaker 1: that's still ongoing with the the convenience store who they
- 38:19Speaker 1: came out and shot the guy that they thought.
- 38:21Speaker 3: So Richild there Richild case.
- 38:23Speaker 1: Yeah, could you look that up because that's the I
- 38:26Speaker 1: know him running away, right is what's happened.
- 38:29Speaker 3: What's happening is right? Yes, they say that.
- 38:31Speaker 5: Yeah, the guy who rich Child shot was leaving the inding.
- 38:36Speaker 5: Richild shot him in the back and rich Child with
- 38:38Speaker 5: no weapon, and rich Child got acquitted. He got quitted
- 38:42Speaker 5: because of.
- 38:42Speaker 3: Standing his ground. He was allegedly being attacked.
- 38:45Speaker 1: So the na A CP got involved in this because
- 38:47Speaker 1: they felt like the judges charges are just.
- 38:51Speaker 3: Too harsh, yes, and that they're misapplying.
- 38:54Speaker 5: They're picking and choosing how they apply stand your grounds,
- 38:57Speaker 5: and it's like in this case you slide, and the
- 39:00Speaker 5: other case with these black boys, you're not letting it slide.
- 39:03Speaker 5: You're saying they were supposed to stop. And like there
- 39:05Speaker 5: was a case actually here with the very famous Atlantan
- 39:08Speaker 5: Shakazulu had a case a few years ago, and I
- 39:12Speaker 5: when that case happened, I was watching the video and
- 39:15Speaker 5: I was scared for him because I'm like it wayed
- 39:17Speaker 5: like it was gonna go back the way it happened
- 39:19Speaker 5: was like, Okay, these guys tried to jump you.
- 39:22Speaker 3: You were on the ground.
- 39:23Speaker 5: Security guard came and broke up the situation, and you
- 39:26Speaker 5: got off the ground and shot And it was like,
- 39:29Speaker 5: I was worried that of this exact thing.
- 39:31Speaker 3: Now the incident is over, security guard has come down
- 39:33Speaker 3: and stopped the confrontation. You shot the kid. Anyway, how
- 39:37Speaker 3: is the court going to look at that?
- 39:38Speaker 5: And apparently they're too you know that was in Georgia,
- 39:41Speaker 5: but apparently the court doesn't have a unified way of
- 39:45Speaker 5: how to look at these cases because in some cases
- 39:47Speaker 5: they'll say, oh, no, this is perfectly fine.
- 39:49Speaker 3: In some cases they'll say, no, you did too much.
- 39:52Speaker 3: You were supposed to.
- 39:52Speaker 1: I mean, I'll be honest with you. As someone who
- 39:55Speaker 1: is like anti civilians with gun ownership, we've talked about
- 40:00Speaker 1: this a lot. I think that's where it gets tricky
- 40:02Speaker 1: for me because as a human being, you know how
- 40:06Speaker 1: like when you go to the hospital, a doctor really
- 40:08Speaker 1: can't tell you. You can't tell your pain tolerance, the
- 40:13Speaker 1: pain level. It's one of those things. That's why tell
- 40:15Speaker 1: me your pain rt it from what It's the same
- 40:18Speaker 1: conversation we had with the Carmelo Anthony case, where how
- 40:22Speaker 1: can you tell someone their life wasn't in danger in
- 40:25Speaker 1: the moment or what they felt like in terms of
- 40:28Speaker 1: defending their because some people could be more pussy than others.
- 40:33Speaker 1: I really could have thought I was going to lose
- 40:35Speaker 1: and risk my life and that my life was in danger,
- 40:38Speaker 1: so I had to a gun. And unfortunately, when you
- 40:42Speaker 1: look at all of the details, the people, the prosecution,
- 40:47Speaker 1: the judge, the jury may not or US podcasters may
- 40:52Speaker 1: not feel like you actually had to use a gun
- 40:55Speaker 1: or had to use a deadly force.
- 40:57Speaker 4: In this incident.
- 40:58Speaker 1: And so this is tricky because at least with this one,
- 41:02Speaker 1: the other person did still have a weapon. Like I said,
- 41:05Speaker 1: there's so many cases where in the convenience storecase, the
- 41:10Speaker 1: boy didn't even have a gun on him, right, it's
- 41:13Speaker 1: I don't know where do y'all stand with this?
- 41:15Speaker 5: Well, and digging into it, the the the burden of
- 41:18Speaker 5: proof in this case is on the prosecution. Prosecution has
- 41:21Speaker 5: to prove that it was intentional and that this person
- 41:26Speaker 5: was was was not acting in self defense and the
- 41:28Speaker 5: whole thing. So it gets dicey because now it's like, Okay,
- 41:32Speaker 5: here are the facts of the case, quote unquote, and
- 41:35Speaker 5: they have to make a case as to why the
- 41:37Speaker 5: defense has to make a case as to why they
- 41:39Speaker 5: did have to use the least man.
- 41:41Speaker 3: They argue the other side.
- 41:43Speaker 1: Listen, I'm arguing, I don't watch enough movies. The motherfuckers
- 41:47Speaker 1: could still shoot what they bet they can't like if
- 41:50Speaker 1: there's a if there's a gun, if you still are
- 41:53Speaker 1: holding onto a weapon, you accidentally are.
- 41:55Speaker 2: Still and that's what the police would say, We're going
- 41:57Speaker 2: to stop turning around and then put and put it back.
- 42:00Speaker 5: And when the police say, I feared for my life
- 42:02Speaker 5: A lot of times. You see it all the time
- 42:04Speaker 5: in these videos. You see the dash can video or
- 42:06Speaker 5: the body can video. The person is running away and
- 42:08Speaker 5: they're saying, oh, he's holding a gun, holding a gun,
- 42:11Speaker 5: so I had to shoot him because who knows what
- 42:13Speaker 5: he was going to do next. Here, when they shot
- 42:15Speaker 5: Richard Brooks in the wind, he's parking lives for the
- 42:18Speaker 5: same thing.
- 42:19Speaker 3: He was running away.
- 42:20Speaker 5: Police said, oh, he was holding something, so I had
- 42:22Speaker 5: to shoot him. And so I was felt like my
- 42:25Speaker 5: life was in danger because he was still holding a weapon.
- 42:28Speaker 2: How much case study is going to be involved now,
- 42:30Speaker 2: because usually these cases they have some kind of president
- 42:33Speaker 2: precedent and reference points where they can go in well
- 42:36Speaker 2: for the defense.
- 42:37Speaker 3: Particularly so it's Florida too, I just say, but it's Florida.
- 42:43Speaker 2: Those people in Florida don't give no ships about this, right,
- 42:46Speaker 2: So of course they're going to go this was a.
- 42:47Speaker 1: White man that got shot. Yes, it is a white
- 42:49Speaker 1: man like because then then, unfortunately, especially with the state
- 42:54Speaker 1: of Florida is in our country, I think it becomes
- 42:57Speaker 1: a part of crime is a problem.
- 43:00Speaker 3: So they're gonna I think the judge did that to
- 43:02Speaker 3: try to bleed the money of.
- 43:04Speaker 2: The defense now because it's what you said, a first
- 43:07Speaker 2: degree murder, agree murder, which seems like an old child
- 43:11Speaker 2: and did the n double a CP go ahead and
- 43:13Speaker 2: get them attorneys for year.
- 43:17Speaker 3: That's encouraging.
- 43:17Speaker 2: Yes, that's that's the first thing I bleed them.
- 43:22Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, double A you get behind bars? Correct, Yeah,
- 43:27Speaker 3: they are.
- 43:27Speaker 5: They are fighting for you know, fairness in this situation.
- 43:30Speaker 5: We don't know how it's gonna turn out. I'm gonna
- 43:32Speaker 5: be watching that right now really closely.
- 43:34Speaker 3: They their hands.
- 43:35Speaker 1: Let's talk about fairness. Uh, Jason, can you pull up
- 43:39Speaker 1: the clip for this next conversation because this is where,
- 43:42Speaker 1: by the way, me and a king love talking about
- 43:45Speaker 1: our experiences happened in these goddamn ubers.
- 43:47Speaker 5: Okay I might be ignoran. I don't know if'na be
- 43:50Speaker 5: the ignorant one. Okay, I might be the ignorant.
- 43:55Speaker 1: We have four people, you will have to be the tiebreaker.
- 44:01Speaker 1: We want to know who's right and wrong. Here could
- 44:03Speaker 1: you play this this video? Please?
- 44:06Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 44:06Speaker 1: Here we go, fucking man like this ship is nicle
- 44:10Speaker 1: talking about?
- 44:10Speaker 8: Don't cuss.
- 44:12Speaker 1: They told me to stop talking on the phone, so
- 44:14Speaker 1: we can't even like. I am so silly and tired
- 44:17Speaker 1: of fucking men. Now I'm about to keep pushing to
- 44:21Speaker 1: make sure he's like, it's crazy.
- 44:29Speaker 3: We didn't do a black women.
- 44:34Speaker 9: You're supposed to protect us.
- 44:37Speaker 8: You're exactly, so you're supposed to protect black women.
- 44:42Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 44:45Speaker 2: You get in, you start cussing, and I said, ladies,
- 44:48Speaker 2: please language please women, and we're you can turn.
- 44:53Speaker 1: Out cancel the grown women? Can you after you canceled
- 44:56Speaker 1: because I'm not going to pay. You're not not getting
- 44:58Speaker 1: into it. Oh yeah, hold on, you're not even.
- 45:01Speaker 3: In a tesla.
- 45:01Speaker 1: He's driving the wrong car. No problem. So these women
- 45:12Speaker 1: took to social media to share about their experience in
- 45:18Speaker 1: this uper Clearly, y'all heard what happened. The Uber driver
- 45:22Speaker 1: respectfully asked them not to curse in their car, and
- 45:25Speaker 1: they turned it into misogyny and patriarchy. Baby, But want
- 45:29Speaker 1: to know y'all thoughts on this clearly not how they responded.
- 45:32Speaker 1: We know the girls here are wrong. None.
- 45:36Speaker 3: Oh yeah, here we got fuck that nigga and his car.
- 45:40Speaker 3: Drive the car. Nigga, I pay you to drive the car.
- 45:42Speaker 3: Drive the car.
- 45:43Speaker 5: Just tell me where I gotta go. Like, I get it,
- 45:45Speaker 5: it's your personal vehicle. But you signed up to be
- 45:47Speaker 5: an Uber driver.
- 45:48Speaker 3: Just drive the car. What I'm talking about, Me and
- 45:50Speaker 3: a conversation were in the backseat saying whatever we're.
- 45:53Speaker 5: Saying to each other, that's our business. All you got
- 45:55Speaker 5: to do is get us to our destination and get
- 45:56Speaker 5: your money.
- 45:57Speaker 3: Who the fuck is you?
- 45:59Speaker 1: Do you say that when you walk to the front
- 46:02Speaker 1: door of an establishment and they present you a dress code,
- 46:06Speaker 1: they tell you you can't wear something because this is
- 46:08Speaker 1: their establishment. We are not.
- 46:10Speaker 4: I think this is more like I would compare this
- 46:12Speaker 4: more to like you renting your own hotel room and
- 46:15Speaker 4: you could do whatever the fuck you want to do,
- 46:16Speaker 4: And that's not what this.
- 46:18Speaker 1: I disagree with that. I disagree with if you're like
- 46:22Speaker 1: maybe because none of us are ubers when people come
- 46:25Speaker 1: into our vehicles. I remember when I had a car.
- 46:27Speaker 1: If my friends got into my car, even though I'm driving, baby,
- 46:30Speaker 1: you can't eating my ship. You're not gonna smoke cigarettes
- 46:33Speaker 1: in my car. This is my car and you're driving
- 46:36Speaker 1: around in.
- 46:36Speaker 4: It, right, because you're preventing But in that case, you're
- 46:39Speaker 4: trying to prevent damage to your car.
- 46:40Speaker 1: Correct, But also okay, okay, okay.
- 46:47Speaker 4: In your instance, you're you're trying to prevent damage. He's
- 46:49Speaker 4: trying to police behavior.
- 46:51Speaker 3: Like yeah, I'm not with you, yeah, yeah, yeah, like
- 46:55Speaker 3: if you like, if you if you're.
- 46:57Speaker 5: A super hype and you don't want to be around
- 47:01Speaker 5: vulgar language or whatever, put in your air pods and
- 47:03Speaker 5: listen to Kirk Franklins.
- 47:04Speaker 3: We get the fuck out the car, but don't talk
- 47:06Speaker 3: to me about what I'm saying back. You can say
- 47:08Speaker 3: whatever the fun. I'm not cursing at you now.
- 47:10Speaker 5: If I was abusing the driver again, by all means, okay, yeah,
- 47:14Speaker 5: I don't curse at me, don't you know whatever. But
- 47:16Speaker 5: I'm talking to my friend in the backseat, and I
- 47:18Speaker 5: said fuck and you're like a language please, who are
- 47:21Speaker 5: you nigga?
- 47:22Speaker 2: Like sound like they say way more thing then.
- 47:29Speaker 1: Talk about sucking dick and eating ass. But if my
- 47:32Speaker 1: you know, I dont no. But if my Uber driver
- 47:38Speaker 1: was like, hey, respectfully, can you not have that conversation
- 47:41Speaker 1: in my car, I don't think I'm gonna over it,
- 47:44Speaker 1: like understood. I hold the conversation till I get.
- 47:47Speaker 3: Out my only see look.
- 47:50Speaker 1: At y'all, y'all don't want I don't think.
- 47:54Speaker 3: I don't think the Uber drivers and you don't want
- 47:55Speaker 3: to respect them, I don't think that. I don't. It's
- 47:58Speaker 3: not his space.
- 47:58Speaker 4: They're literally renting.
- 48:00Speaker 1: I'm just saying, service is a car ride, but you're
- 48:04Speaker 1: still in somebody when you go and eat it somebody's restaurant,
- 48:08Speaker 1: it's their restaurant.
- 48:08Speaker 4: Yes, a restaurant is a public space. That's like a bus.
- 48:12Speaker 4: That's like comparing a bus to a private car. To me,
- 48:15Speaker 4: it's different like the exchanges. They've rented out the space.
- 48:19Speaker 4: They could say whatever they want as long as they're
- 48:20Speaker 4: not damaging his vehicle. The confines of that car is
- 48:23Speaker 4: their space for the ride. If they want to curse,
- 48:25Speaker 4: if they want to take a phone call. If they
- 48:27Speaker 4: just want to be quiet, it's all them.
- 48:29Speaker 3: But see, the thing is right, so one I'm giving
- 48:33Speaker 3: them one star.
- 48:34Speaker 1: Because for these bitches bumbell, I'm.
- 48:40Speaker 2: I'm not giving them No, I'm not giving them bum
- 48:43Speaker 2: bail because at the end of the day, you know,
- 48:44Speaker 2: what's that question here?
- 48:46Speaker 3: What decency? Yes, that's it. Nobody the ober driver.
- 48:51Speaker 2: No ober driver is supposed to police anything, right, They're
- 48:53Speaker 2: just supposed to get you to your destination safely.
- 48:55Speaker 3: That's it.
- 48:56Speaker 2: However, it's still which is not in the print or
- 49:00Speaker 2: the term of condition.
- 49:01Speaker 3: This is just a moral value. Why you got to
- 49:04Speaker 3: do all of that? Calling Aaron kemp.
- 49:13Speaker 2: Care curse in public all the time you go anywhere
- 49:18Speaker 2: at the Hawks game.
- 49:20Speaker 3: Whatever the elders I have, would you vehement for all
- 49:27Speaker 3: kinds of sons of bitches in front of an elder.
- 49:30Speaker 5: If I'm looking at an old woman, I'm not gonna
- 49:32Speaker 5: say anything. You would say, oh my bad, I'm sorry.
- 49:34Speaker 5: Let me carry myself because of decency. If we're in public,
- 49:37Speaker 5: I'm just talking and anyone who's around me hearing me talk,
- 49:41Speaker 5: can hear the words I say?
- 49:44Speaker 3: Get away?
- 49:45Speaker 1: We take when we take ubers. We asked them to
- 49:49Speaker 1: turn down the radio. I ask scuber drivers, hey, can
- 49:51Speaker 1: you get off the phone?
- 49:52Speaker 3: Like yeah, because I'm the boss now. But there's an
- 49:55Speaker 3: exchange of because you want decency. So this to me,
- 49:58Speaker 3: and I know those girls on right cursive go ahead?
- 50:01Speaker 1: Oh my god, you're right.
- 50:03Speaker 3: They don't they're talking. They don't know how to express
- 50:06Speaker 3: motherfucking bitchy.
- 50:09Speaker 4: That behavior was if you're if you're if you're in
- 50:11Speaker 4: an uber and you say can you turn that down?
- 50:13Speaker 4: And they say no, this is my car, my space.
- 50:16Speaker 4: Are you gonna Are you gonna knock them on their stars?
- 50:20Speaker 1: No, I'm knocking their stars down.
- 50:21Speaker 3: Most likely they won't do that though, No, Mandy.
- 50:29Speaker 4: So for you, when you get in an uber, who
- 50:31Speaker 4: ultimately who's in charge? Because you said earlier the customer
- 50:33Speaker 4: is right, So if you're in the uber, who's in
- 50:35Speaker 4: charge you or the driver?
- 50:36Speaker 1: I think there's an equal balance of an exchange.
- 50:39Speaker 7: No you.
- 50:42Speaker 3: Even it changed these nuts. Let me tell you.
- 50:46Speaker 1: Let me tell you this the same way. I'll be
- 50:49Speaker 1: tricky on who the hell is out here owning guns.
- 50:52Speaker 1: What I'm not gonna do is get snippy with someone
- 50:56Speaker 1: who has my life in their hands. When someone is
- 50:58Speaker 1: behind goddamn will to be very clear, they run ship,
- 51:02Speaker 1: they could speed up, they could fucking crash this bitch.
- 51:05Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 51:06Speaker 1: And honestly, the way I'll be talking to these super drivers,
- 51:09Speaker 1: their lives be hard. Man went through the lives being hard.
- 51:12Speaker 1: I'm not sitting here trying to have any sort of
- 51:15Speaker 1: turmoil or chaos with someone who has my life in
- 51:18Speaker 1: their hands. Are we kidding me?
- 51:19Speaker 4: Like?
- 51:19Speaker 5: Hello, Well, if their life is so hard, they should
- 51:21Speaker 5: do themselves a favorite and make it easy and shut
- 51:23Speaker 5: the fuck up and drive the car.
- 51:25Speaker 3: Well, way is not hard. No more to do his drive,
- 51:28Speaker 3: but you got to do nothing else. Just drive the
- 51:30Speaker 3: car and shut the fuck up and everything can be okay.
- 51:32Speaker 3: He'd be saying the Uber driver was being respectful. He wasn't.
- 51:35Speaker 2: He wasn't full, and they had they took note of it,
- 51:39Speaker 2: not trying to do all that lie.
- 51:42Speaker 3: Decency.
- 51:43Speaker 2: I know he shouldn't plea It shouldn't have got to
- 51:45Speaker 2: that point. They should have been the I'm assuming the
- 51:47Speaker 2: adults right though.
- 51:48Speaker 4: Yeah, what if he started, we don't even by the way,
- 51:51Speaker 4: we don't know how he started. He could have said, ladies,
- 51:53Speaker 4: watch your tone. He could have used all the triggering
- 51:55Speaker 4: language of ladies or watch that he could have said, ladies,
- 51:58Speaker 4: let's be respectful of yourself.
- 52:00Speaker 3: You know, I don't.
- 52:02Speaker 2: I do believe they didn't do that because you heard
- 52:05Speaker 2: you're supposed to protect us a black woman.
- 52:06Speaker 3: You heard that, right? Yeah, he sounds like Israel nigga.
- 52:09Speaker 1: The girl.
- 52:10Speaker 3: The girl said that, the girl, but he's he sounds
- 52:12Speaker 3: like one of the niggas that be like now, black queens,
- 52:14Speaker 3: y'all are supposed to be. Y'all was supposed to be classy,
- 52:18Speaker 3: young ladies. You're not acting like a class class her
- 52:24Speaker 3: whole big shut up?
- 52:25Speaker 1: Then?
- 52:25Speaker 3: What?
- 52:25Speaker 1: Okay?
- 52:26Speaker 3: So wait a second, everybody get it one story.
- 52:28Speaker 1: Let's both he.
- 52:32Speaker 3: Who is right here?
- 52:34Speaker 1: Is it the passenger or the driver?
- 52:36Speaker 2: King?
- 52:37Speaker 1: I think the who's right here?
- 52:39Speaker 3: Who's right?
- 52:40Speaker 1: Who's right? Who's in the right?
- 52:41Speaker 3: They're both in the right.

- 53:08Speaker 2: them because they all did that ships.
- 53:12Speaker 3: I'm actually gonna take triggering because it didn't happen to me.
- 53:15Speaker 3: There was a case. This was last year, I think
- 53:18Speaker 3: in Atlanta, of course where there was it was this time.
- 53:21Speaker 5: It was two black women talking about So. The woman
- 53:25Speaker 5: got picked up from the airport. She had long days,
- 53:27Speaker 5: fucked up whatever. She had her window cracked or something
- 53:30Speaker 5: like that. Oh no, no, she wanted the air on.
- 53:32Speaker 3: That's what it was.
- 53:32Speaker 5: The driver had the window cracked. It's fucking July in Atlanta.
- 53:36Speaker 5: It's hot as ship. The passenger asked the driver, Hey,
- 53:39Speaker 5: can you roll the window up? No me, No, like
- 53:43Speaker 5: it's hot in here. I just want to get some air. No,
- 53:46Speaker 5: because something about I don't know if she was trying
- 53:48Speaker 5: to prevent a smell or air out.
- 53:50Speaker 3: Of car, whatever it was, she said no.
- 53:53Speaker 5: So they get into a beef and the driver stops
- 53:57Speaker 5: the car like on the exit, like on a highway,
- 54:00Speaker 5: pulls over.
- 54:01Speaker 3: Was like, yeah, this is over, get out of my car.
- 54:04Speaker 2: And people in the comment section with saying exactly what
- 54:06Speaker 2: you're saying, include to some of my homegirls, It's.
- 54:07Speaker 3: Like that's their car. They can do. You can't tell
- 54:10Speaker 3: nobody how to run their car. No, you're an uber driver.
- 54:12Speaker 3: It is your car. But you're an Uber drive.
- 54:13Speaker 5: You're not gonna put me out on the side of
- 54:15Speaker 5: the highway because I'm asking you to do something that.
- 54:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a car to uber drive, cause nigga,
- 54:20Speaker 1: you're getting out my ship. I'm ending this ride right
- 54:24Speaker 1: the fuck now. But you ship the same way. If
- 54:28Speaker 1: I feel disrespected in my house, I'm gonna kick you out.
- 54:30Speaker 1: If I feel disrespected and what is mine? You do
- 54:33Speaker 1: not get to disrespect people, and they ship and so
- 54:37Speaker 1: the same way when it comes to like, like, bro,
- 54:39Speaker 1: what I be seeing right now and on on, Uh yeah,
- 54:44Speaker 1: my algorithm is all over the goddamn But there's like
- 54:48Speaker 1: right now, these y ns fucked up this airbnb like tragic,
- 54:54Speaker 1: and people are like, well that you better have insurance
- 54:57Speaker 1: because you're right yourse, Like there's the.
- 54:59Speaker 3: Wast a whole.
- 55:00Speaker 1: There's a way that we as people over decency. Decency
- 55:05Speaker 1: is so important that you don't get to be indecent
- 55:08Speaker 1: when you're in the private also space of someone else.
- 55:12Speaker 1: So I think back to Jason's uh state this, these
- 55:16Speaker 1: aren't public spaces with rules, These are private spaces. And
- 55:19Speaker 1: what do private companies and private schools all get to
- 55:22Speaker 1: do whatever the fuck they want to do. So, nigga,
- 55:24Speaker 1: get the fuck out my car. If you don't have
- 55:27Speaker 1: the decency to respect me in my ship, you here
- 55:30Speaker 1: your luggage, You get the fuck out. You got me
- 55:33Speaker 1: fucked up.
- 55:36Speaker 4: This clip, y'all talking about the Santists and y'all talking
- 55:39Speaker 4: about jd Vance and put it together.
- 55:43Speaker 2: Would fully Agreegan, would fully agree this topic.
- 55:50Speaker 1: We're going to the next one.
- 55:51Speaker 2: I ain't taking jobbers. You don't put me in a way.
- 55:58Speaker 1: Problem.
- 55:58Speaker 5: We don't have a fucking robot having us around run
- 56:01Speaker 5: off the road about the ship.
- 56:04Speaker 1: All right, So this one we do have a clip, Jason,
- 56:07Speaker 1: we're gonna talk. Oh, this is gonna be fun too,
- 56:09Speaker 1: because this leads into moral standards and people wanted to
- 56:13Speaker 1: go with they are not welcome.
- 56:15Speaker 3: Welcome out. That's how I fliped. Now, that's how flip.
- 56:17Speaker 1: Now.
- 56:20Speaker 3: I'm glad we did these back to back. I can't wait.
- 56:25Speaker 1: You can play the clip for this one. The Turkish
- 56:29Speaker 1: government band travelers from jocking because of quote moral standards.
- 56:34Speaker 3: At least a thousand Americans are on board, including passengers
- 56:37Speaker 3: from South Florida.
- 56:38Speaker 8: Thomas Barker is from Miami. The ten day trip was
- 56:41Speaker 8: a gift to him from his husband, And so.
- 56:44Speaker 10: There are thousands of men who come to the ship
- 56:46Speaker 10: to celebrate UH and to feel free to be who
- 56:50Speaker 10: we are without any fear of homophobia, or to be
- 56:53Speaker 10: able to be ourselves in that public space.
- 56:55Speaker 8: But that freedom of expression was challenged when the ship
- 56:58Speaker 8: tried docking in Turkey. The government unexpectedly denied the ship
- 57:02Speaker 8: entry because of what they call moral standards. Authorities posted
- 57:07Speaker 8: this online translated in English, it says, a cruise ship
- 57:10Speaker 8: chartered by a group known for behavior that does not
- 57:13Speaker 8: align with the values and moral standards of our society
- 57:16Speaker 8: and that had generated significant concern among various segments of
- 57:19Speaker 8: the public, has been canceled. It is absolutely out of
- 57:22Speaker 8: the question that this group will come to our province
- 57:25Speaker 8: for such an event.
- 57:26Speaker 3: I mean, I think what's.
- 57:27Speaker 10: Really disappointing is that we spend a lot of our
- 57:29Speaker 10: times is gay people really trying to find safe spaces,
- 57:32Speaker 10: and going on this cruise spaces about as safe as
- 57:35Speaker 10: it's supposed to get, right, And we were excited to
- 57:38Speaker 10: go to new places and potentially experience that safe space
- 57:42Speaker 10: in places like Turkey and in Egypt, where it is
- 57:44Speaker 10: obviously very difficult to be a gay person in those countries.
- 57:47Speaker 8: The cruise who has been rerouted to Egypt, but at
- 57:50Speaker 8: the last minute the port was also canceled without any explanation.
- 57:54Speaker 10: We thought that it would be a great opportunity for
- 57:56Speaker 10: those people in those countries, also experiences in the rest
- 58:01Speaker 10: of the world where people can be free and be celebrated.
- 58:03Speaker 3: For who they are.
- 58:04Speaker 8: In a statement, Atlantis Events said in part, they hope
- 58:07Speaker 8: this is an isolated incident and to return in the future.
- 58:10Speaker 8: They also hope Egypt and Turkey will welcome all guests
- 58:13Speaker 8: without conditions, all prejudiced.
- 58:15Speaker 10: I think it's definitely sort of taking a bit of
- 58:18Speaker 10: a magic away if you can, if I can explain
- 58:21Speaker 10: it in that way, because it started off with such
- 58:23Speaker 10: a high and everyone being so excited to be together
- 58:25Speaker 10: and see people.
- 58:28Speaker 3: Nope, so look, I love it. Go ahead.
- 58:32Speaker 2: Look, I haven't been to Saudi Arabia. I would love to,
- 58:36Speaker 2: but I know that there's certain things you cannot do.
- 58:38Speaker 2: It's not acceptable. So weed, for instance, you can't get
- 58:42Speaker 2: caught with weed out there. You can yeah, a year minimum, right,
- 58:46Speaker 2: they know they try to move the gold they try
- 58:48Speaker 2: to move. Well, yes, so they try to move the
- 58:51Speaker 2: gold post and try to do reform in real time.
- 58:54Speaker 2: My question is how did they know. Did they have
- 58:57Speaker 2: a manifest and said, okay, what.
- 58:58Speaker 1: Does the LGBT cube boy like the right was getting so.
- 59:02Speaker 2: So they thought that they was going to do some
- 59:05Speaker 2: activism with a whole country that's been doing this shit
- 59:07Speaker 2: for forever since the inception of the decade, since the
- 59:10Speaker 2: inception of with the other country.
- 59:12Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember, especially with the World
- 59:14Speaker 1: Cup ending. So the last World Cup took place in
- 59:18Speaker 1: cutter and there was a whole conversation about this because
- 59:22Speaker 1: they were refusing people to wear rainbow flag in lgbt
- 59:26Speaker 1: Qia because of course.
- 59:27Speaker 3: Pride is not sat.
- 59:31Speaker 1: And this is the ignorance of Americans to believe that
- 59:35Speaker 1: they can just go into these other countries and be
- 59:38Speaker 1: full American in these countries that don't allow. It's the
- 59:40Speaker 1: same conversation we had about Brittany Grehner. Baby, you can't
- 59:43Speaker 1: just be having bape pins brought into other countries when
- 59:46Speaker 1: there's rules against fucking bapes or THHC. Or the same
- 59:51Speaker 1: way our sexuality is kind of even, uh, you know,
- 59:55Speaker 1: kind of dictated here. It's ten twenty thirty times more.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: In these other countries, you cannot be openly gay. When
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: I went to uh I went to to cutter maybe
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: like fifteen years ago with one of my partners, and
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: he literally had to pay the front desk because we
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: were not married. We couldn't stay in the same room together.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: When we went out to the clubs, we couldn't dance
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: on each other. There was a respect that we had
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: to adhere to in another country, because that's how the fuck.
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: No, it's not respect. Your niggas ain't want to go
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: to jail how long.
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: It's not respect respect, But respect is not under the
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: threat of fucking persecution, death or imprisonment.
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: That's not respect. That's just a nigga.
- 1:00:37Speaker 5: I don't want to die here, so I'm gonna keep
- 1:00:39Speaker 5: my hands.
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: But at the same time too, hearing him talk, Bro,
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: if you know that Turkey and Egypt are both anti
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: gay essentially, right, you do it? Why the fuck do
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: you want to go parade yourself not gonna welcome you.
- 1:00:55Speaker 5: Hold on, they didn't do anything the cruise. They don't
- 1:00:58Speaker 5: dictate where the cruise go.
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: They get on the cruise knowing where the cruise is
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: going sure, but the cruise ship knows that too.
- 1:01:05Speaker 5: So if the cruise ship knows, hey, we're gonna have
- 1:01:08Speaker 5: this cruise, we're gonna invite folks on there, We're gonna
- 1:01:10Speaker 5: go to these places.
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: Hey, why did you take them there?
- 1:01:13Speaker 5: If it was gonna be a big deal B To me,
- 1:01:16Speaker 5: it suggests that this cruise ship has probably been there
- 1:01:18Speaker 5: before and done the same thing before. Now all of
- 1:01:20Speaker 5: a sudden, it's a problem. See, these are just gay
- 1:01:24Speaker 5: people all within these countries. And so what is Turkey
- 1:01:28Speaker 5: in Egypt saying, oh, because we can tell that.
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: I don't know how you can tell this is a
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: gay cruise, but we can tell.
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: This, so probably like that. I do want to add
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: that this particular cruise has successfully docked LGBTQ cruises in
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: Istanbul thirteen times. Yeah, twenty five years.
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: That's what I figured. Okay, just like with our country.
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: Though, you know what happens. New people get in fucking seats,
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: New people get in control, New people come in and
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: say what's gonna happen and what ain't gona happen. Look
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: at all the things that we had to deal with
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: with FIFA coming like coming into America, this year, you
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: know what I mean.
- 1:02:06Speaker 5: Yeah, No, But the difference is nobody here thought that
- 1:02:09Speaker 5: that shit made any sense. Nobody here thought, oh, we're
- 1:02:12Speaker 5: at war were Iran? So ye had Iranian shit fly
- 1:02:14Speaker 5: to Mexico and then fly back to Seattle every game.
- 1:02:16Speaker 5: Nobody here was like, oh, these people aren't allowed in
- 1:02:19Speaker 5: here because we have this beef, and of course we
- 1:02:21Speaker 5: can't because we're American, and that's what we say. No,
- 1:02:23Speaker 5: we said, everyone said that's some fuck shit. Why y'all
- 1:02:25Speaker 5: fucking with these people? And that's what I'm saying about here.
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: Everyone, well, very clear. Everyone did not say.
- 1:02:31Speaker 5: People with good sense, people will get in politics, said
- 1:02:34Speaker 5: that this is fucked up, while y'all doing these people
- 1:02:36Speaker 5: like that.
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: It's the same thing here. I get that these.
- 1:02:38Speaker 5: Countries don't fuck with homosexuality or anything like that, but
- 1:02:43Speaker 5: this idea that they're picking and choosing, Oh this this
- 1:02:46Speaker 5: ship is pink.
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: We must be some gay people on that ship. We're
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: not gonna let me do this guy.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: This makes me think of like a black person going
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: to Argentina and then coming back complaining that he was
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: treated with racism or that he was discriminated against. Hebe
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: you took your ass to Argentina.
- 1:03:04Speaker 3: And like, I'm kind of black though.
- 1:03:07Speaker 5: If I go to a bar in America in the
- 1:03:09Speaker 5: wrong red neck ass town and I walk in there
- 1:03:12Speaker 5: and there and everybody's looking at me, like what are
- 1:03:13Speaker 5: you doing here?
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: Boy, I'm gonna order more drinks.
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: Oh god, I'm gonna see that was gonna Now it's
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: going to be a party at olck in a sundowntown
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: Nigga you walking around, I know, but a but but
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: I order you know, white right there, right there, this
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: is I'm ordering. I'm ordering South. He wouldn't do something.
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: Now we're ordering ordering.
- 1:03:45Speaker 5: We're ordering michelob light for everybody in this bitch. Now, now,
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: let me let me ask you. Let me ask you
- 1:03:51Speaker 5: not running me out.
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: Of enough, Jason, as the resident Latina here, I don't
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: do femino and mascolino.
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: And masculino as.
- 1:04:08Speaker 4: You do.
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: You and your community had these conversations about where you're
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: accepted or not accepted, Like, are these conversations to that
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: that you have with your peers?
- 1:04:21Speaker 4: Well, last time I hit the group text, I was
- 1:04:23Speaker 4: talking to them about this conversation. No, I mean, I
- 1:04:26Speaker 4: think to Job's point, like he's saying it kind of correctly,
- 1:04:29Speaker 4: like you have a sense of where you're welcome and
- 1:04:32Speaker 4: not welcome, and some people like to challenge that, right
- 1:04:34Speaker 4: and so you might get your uber driver saying, sir,
- 1:04:37Speaker 4: stop using that language.
- 1:04:40Speaker 9: You know what I mean.
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: So it's it's it's that case.
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: I'm shocked.
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought up the point about like they've
- 1:04:45Speaker 4: successfully done this before in the past, but the seats
- 1:04:48Speaker 4: have changed, because that's really the thing that's been initiating
- 1:04:50Speaker 4: this is the seats have changed. So it's like the
- 1:04:52Speaker 4: community can kind of feel a certain way. But I
- 1:04:55Speaker 4: actually feel like it's a theme throughout this episode, like
- 1:04:58Speaker 4: with the Muslim in the air line, with the standard ground.
- 1:05:01Speaker 4: With this, there's there's other there's other people who are
- 1:05:04Speaker 4: dictating towards us, our behavior and what's acceptable, and they're
- 1:05:08Speaker 4: deciding subjectively what's okay for us or not.
- 1:05:11Speaker 5: But the thing I guess I have a question about
- 1:05:13Speaker 5: is even with the seats thing, right, like, it ain't
- 1:05:16Speaker 5: like Egypt or Turkey has ever been run by the
- 1:05:19Speaker 5: fucking Democratic Socialists of America.
- 1:05:23Speaker 4: But you know, sometimes there's hardliners, right Like, sometimes there's
- 1:05:26Speaker 4: like more traditionalists, like Muslim hardliners who they'll follow it
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: to the t by the Quran. And then sometimes there's
- 1:05:34Speaker 4: other people who it's less like based on religion and
- 1:05:37Speaker 4: more based on like power. Right, so like right now
- 1:05:40Speaker 4: there's just a group of people on power who are
- 1:05:41Speaker 4: like hardline religious sect and what they say is like,
- 1:05:46Speaker 4: this is how the book goes, and it's that it's.
- 1:05:48Speaker 5: Giving that they have a closeted Eisenhower running the show
- 1:05:52Speaker 5: over there, and they've decided they've decided to have a
- 1:05:56Speaker 5: lavender scare in Turkey in Egypt because now all of
- 1:06:00Speaker 5: a sudden, well they don't want to be outed for
- 1:06:02Speaker 5: their bullshit.
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: Okay, they're probably aligned with that ideology, the mega megaology,
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
- 1:06:08Speaker 5: So, oh yeah, Magga is definitely global. I think people
- 1:06:10Speaker 5: should start to understand that too. Like this idea what's
- 1:06:13Speaker 5: going on here is not limited to America. There's lots
- 1:06:16Speaker 5: of other world leaders who feel.
- 1:06:18Speaker 4: Exactly Turky is a part of that. It's like Turkey, Italy, Yeah, Italy,
- 1:06:22Speaker 4: like the populace, right, the populace who are.
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: Like I mean, there's there's certain countries within the African continent.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: I don't know if you can look it up. I
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: think you Ganda, is one of them. But there's certain
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: countries that also will kill you if you are gay.
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: You cannot be open about it. There's like you will
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: be imprisoned. I think, if I'm not mistaken, Ghana was
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: one of those as well. Ended up looking into that.
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: When we were in Ghana, like, bitch, I don't know,
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: we could be dancing on each other out here, girl,
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: we ain't fing to go to jail because they might
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: think were bumping coucies.
- 1:06:53Speaker 4: So like the Cameroon, I.
- 1:06:56Speaker 5: Think Lgeria might even be on that as well, where
- 1:06:58Speaker 5: it's like, yeah, you know what, it's going to be
- 1:06:59Speaker 5: a problem out here.
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: And so to me, yes, I mean, you know, we
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: we've luckily been a part of a country that only
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: also by certain states, allow.
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: You to be did right.
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: It's not even a federally mid rated acceptance here in
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: this country. So you know, the same way some states
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to get abortions, some not. Some
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to get married as a gay person,
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: You're not. When you travel abroad, you can't think that
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: all of your beliefs in the way that you exist
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: is going to be accepted. It's just literally the American
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: ignorant way of fucking thinking.
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: Why do you get I guess what it is for me.
- 1:07:39Speaker 5: I'm never going like, if there's a situation like that
- 1:07:42Speaker 5: where there is like, Okay, this is how they get down,
- 1:07:45Speaker 5: this is how we get down.
- 1:07:46Speaker 3: I'm never going to.
- 1:07:49Speaker 5: Uh, I'm not wanting to really capitulate to the wrong
- 1:07:52Speaker 5: side of it. I don't care if that's your morals,
- 1:07:55Speaker 5: in your standards, I don't care.
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: If you're wrong, you're wrong.
- 1:07:57Speaker 5: And so that's what probably makes me ignorant because I'm
- 1:08:00Speaker 5: trying to fuck up your shit. Yes, oh I I'm
- 1:08:02Speaker 5: trying to make a scene of your bullshit standard, of
- 1:08:05Speaker 5: your bullshit rules.
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: Like I'm that guy.
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: Now fuck that. Take me back to twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen,
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, when I was a solid two twenty. The
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: meatpacking district, the white clubs, the upscale places in New
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: York did not welcome me. I was charged at the door.
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: Same for LA. There's certain places that as a black
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: woman of a certain size, I was not welcome into spaces.
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: I got treated poorly at the door. When I tell you,
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: as soon as I did not feel welcomed, y'all will
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: never get my fucking money, y'all will never see me again.
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: And so for me, I have never been a person
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: who felt the need to go to spaces or feel
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: like I had to be in spaces where I was
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: not welcomed. And as someone black and someone thick and big, listen,
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: as a woman, certain places it becomes hard to get
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: into if you don't look a certain way. And when
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: I tell you, once I realized that place didn't want
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: me in there, I don't want to be in here.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: And you know, you know I go ahead and touch
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: your gun, wave it around and bottom shots in the
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: Sundowntown Listen, listen. Well, let's get into for celebrities say
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: the darnest things. We're gonna lean into possible right message,
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: wrong messinger. Now we'll start off with Tristan Thompson, who
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: gave the advice to Clay to just be quiet, and
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: a lot of people felt like he was the wrong
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: messenger for this advice in terms of Clay actually coming
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: out and finally responding to the cheating allegations from megde Sallion.
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: He's also someone who has not stayed quiet. We just
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: talked about him not too long ago, sitting with Chloe
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: Kardashian and explaining, you know, his bullshit. But I wanted
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: to ask, y'all, and I wanted to have fun with this.
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: I wanted to know if there are any celebrities that
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: could say something that sounded right, but because of who
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: they are and where they've leaned into, we just don't
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: want to hear it from them, even if they're right.
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: So like, for example, say Kim Kardashian talking about climate change, Babe,
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: we saw you cry over that diamond that fell into
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: the ocean. We know that you take private jets. We
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: know what those fuel admissions doing to the universe. I
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: would also say I never want to hear the baby
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: talk about gay rights or have him even if he
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: learned against it, right.
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: Y'all, I was gonna say it, depending on maybe he
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: people that do the work.
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: I need to know what the work was. I never
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: want to hear Jess Hilarious talk about trans rights or Muslims,
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: because baby, what what a can you of? Your cutdown?
- 1:11:00Speaker 4: Reille?
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: Oh Okay.
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: What I'm saying is when people, when people speak out
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: so much against or their behaviors go against something, they're
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: the last person I want to hear in a campaign
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: or messaging, even if their celebrity does bring more eyes
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: to a certain cause.
- 1:11:21Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that perfect and you can evolve and
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: grow and learn.
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: Trisian Thompson probably learned from his ways and he wants
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: to give advice, you know, to someone in his peerdom.
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: He's like, yo, bro.
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: But that's why I said, I need to see the work.
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: I need to know what the work was to know
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: that you are not still in your ignorance.
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:11:44Speaker 5: Well, I mean this is when we talked about this
- 1:11:46Speaker 5: a little bit last week with Antoinette about communication.
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: Right. Communication works two ways. It's what you say and
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: what they understand.
- 1:11:54Speaker 5: What is heard right when you're speaking to somebody, and
- 1:11:56Speaker 5: the idea is that you want to communicate yourself clearly
- 1:11:58Speaker 5: enough that they take you seriously or in this case,
- 1:12:01Speaker 5: if you're a celebrity or some public figure, you need
- 1:12:04Speaker 5: to not be perfect, but you need to maintain some
- 1:12:08Speaker 5: level of credibility, dignity or otherwise about what it is
- 1:12:12Speaker 5: that you're saying.
- 1:12:13Speaker 3: Mind you, this came about seriously.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: This came about as a topic as well because me
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: talking about the misinformation that's spread online in regards to
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: the history of the KKK niggas literally was in the comments.
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: Maybe because I'm by racial acting like I couldn't talk
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: about the history of the KKK.
- 1:12:31Speaker 3: I'm like, wrong messenger.
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: Because of your African American studies you're one in college.
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: But you know what that is.
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: That's more so because they know that you what will
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: respond and you're halfway you know, I'm saying that's what.
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: I can't talk about history because I'm half like, so.
- 1:12:51Speaker 3: That's what That's just that's the Internet, you know how,
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: they just like the.
- 1:12:55Speaker 4: Is there any credible message you would take from somebody
- 1:12:58Speaker 4: like Safari or like ray J?
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: They have experience, you know what, they.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: Have real you you know what? He's the thing and
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: I did no, no, no, you know what's crazy on
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: the Bonus episode and it was really it was all
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: the way end. So I don't know if people heard it,
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: I would absolutely and I do think that ray J could.
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: He could, he could be a spokesperson for Gilead and
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: getting tested and at least sharing results because on the
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: in a conversation that he was having he was openly
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: talking about STDs and yes, he said he liked the
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: ones you could get rid of. He was the tattoos
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: the ones that don't go nowhere. But I do think
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: that there is benefit in a black man openly talking
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: about STDs, openly acknowledging that he knows what he has.
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: There's a lot of black men that don't even do that,
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: We had the final balls, so that already what that
- 1:13:58Speaker 3: that said, he had the biggest one.
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: Who you're talking about, Magic Johnson? Oh yeah, I mean,
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: but he specifically asked about Safari and ray Jar because that's.
- 1:14:10Speaker 4: Like the premise of like Scared straight right, Like it's
- 1:14:13Speaker 4: people who went through it who are able to explain
- 1:14:16Speaker 4: it and hold that.
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: So hopefully you're gonna have to go through that.
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: Oh God, I'm not gonna lie. I don't know if
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: there's anything Safari could tell me. I don't I mean,
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: how to wind his hips. I don't know what is far.
- 1:14:31Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anything that I care. I
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: don't know if he has I don't know if he's smart.
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: I don't know anything about Safari outside of the fact
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: that he was Nicki Minaja's backup dancer and that he
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: manipulated and chased Eric Amenna just to leave her with
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: two kids and being single mama a single mother, Like
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: I don't know much of what he's done or given
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: the culture or what he has to say about much.
- 1:14:56Speaker 4: Of anything, honestly, So for right message, wrong messenger? What
- 1:15:03Speaker 4: makes it the wrong messenger? Is it like they're they're
- 1:15:06Speaker 4: like you said Safari, like I don't know if he's
- 1:15:07Speaker 4: not that smart or because I presumably if they want
- 1:15:10Speaker 4: through the experience, they're a good messenger.
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: That's what you would think.
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: I think it's because it's the patterns that they've they've
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: displayed over the years.
- 1:15:19Speaker 3: It's not favorable. So it's like I'm listening to you for.
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: Yeah, like like Safari coming out and discussing how to
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: love a woman, but seeing his behavior, I just don't
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: know if that's what would make you the wrong messenger.
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: Like and that's the thing. A lot of people get
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: on these microphones and have opinions about things, but their
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: behavior goes as like, oh, you're just giving us a
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: word salad. Oh you're just telling us what we think
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: you know or what you think people want to hear.
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: But you don't live life this way, which is why
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: I come on here and I talk from this is
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: why my opinions are not favored in society because they
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: come from my lived experience, and people may disagree with them,
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: but at least I'm coming from a place of what
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: I believe, and when I'm wrong, we hop on this
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: mic and we correct ourselves. I think I'm an ever
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: evolving person. I think that people choose to continue in
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: their ignorance, but out of their mouth they want to
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: be right.
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: If that makes sense, You got to have some credibility factor.
- 1:16:18Speaker 5: What there's opposing forces at play too, right, Like, cynicism
- 1:16:21Speaker 5: in society is like an all time high. Nobody believes
- 1:16:25Speaker 5: anything that they see in a public sector, everyone is lying,
- 1:16:29Speaker 5: Everyone has an ulterior motive. Or he just said that
- 1:16:31Speaker 5: because he's paid all you work for Rock Nation, that's
- 1:16:34Speaker 5: why you said that. Like, it's always a thing that
- 1:16:36Speaker 5: someone will come up with as to why the person
- 1:16:39Speaker 5: saying whatever they're saying is not being in good faith.
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: Now here we go. I got a clip, I got
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: a clip, Could you play the white Man? And I'm
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: not sure what radio show or podcast this is, but
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: he goes into just play the clip.
- 1:16:58Speaker 9: But see, like my taste in black women's a little
- 1:17:01Speaker 9: bit more refined than the average black women. You find nowadays,
- 1:17:04Speaker 9: Like I like the Lauren Hale type of black women,
- 1:17:07Speaker 9: you know, the Pam Greer or the Tisha Campbell kind
- 1:17:09Speaker 9: of black women. Why is it every time I walk
- 1:17:13Speaker 9: through a mall or I walked into a convenience store,
- 1:17:15Speaker 9: all the women there look like glow Rilla or sexy red.
- 1:17:18Speaker 9: It's like those women just look like science experiments from
- 1:17:21Speaker 9: the CIA meant to destroy Black community.
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: So like you're saying that a man, do you think
- 1:17:26Speaker 3: like glow? Really?
- 1:17:27Speaker 4: You know?
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: Now, if you got me a girl that.
- 1:17:30Speaker 9: Looked like Patrece Russian, then all day, every day, let's
- 1:17:33Speaker 9: get a Kraken. But I'm not gonna curse my children
- 1:17:36Speaker 9: with a mother that goes skam phonem.
- 1:17:40Speaker 3: Ain't no way, just ain't no way.
- 1:17:42Speaker 9: These two is the disgusting hair colored hair they have nowadays.
- 1:17:48Speaker 9: Whatever happened to afros and looking like you're guarded from
- 1:17:51Speaker 9: Stephen Universe? Now they all got like red hair with
- 1:17:54Speaker 9: green highlights. Like look at Kanye West daughter. It's like, baby, girl,
- 1:17:57Speaker 9: you do not need aquamarine hair to make yourself look beautiful.
- 1:18:01Speaker 9: You're beautiful the way you already were born. I don't
- 1:18:04Speaker 9: need I don't need no girl, to look like, oh
- 1:18:07Speaker 9: my gosh, bro.
- 1:18:10Speaker 3: That there's a lot going on.
- 1:18:12Speaker 7: So this.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: Man, it's a message. It's a it's a not bad message,
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: but possibly wrong messages.
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: It's intellectual Plotlust's an intellectual plot.
- 1:18:24Speaker 3: Lush The first about to rast I see the hand.
- 1:18:31Speaker 5: The first thing is like he's doing this thing where
- 1:18:35Speaker 5: it's like it's wildly racist, is it? Yeah, yeah, it's
- 1:18:41Speaker 5: wildly racist. But he's also trying to he's also trying
- 1:18:46Speaker 5: to find a soft space that he can land to
- 1:18:48Speaker 5: express his preference. I guess, and naming t Campbell and
- 1:18:53Speaker 5: Buttes Russian is like a very specific type of black
- 1:18:55Speaker 5: woman that I'm like, I'm surprised you even know.
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: But I honestands that black is not a monolith. And
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: so for me, I'm not gonna hold you. I say
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: it all the time because I women. I don't like
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: the lace Wiggs, I don't like the super So to me,
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: this is if a black man or to say this
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: on any of these black pods, no one would say.
- 1:19:16Speaker 3: I don't think that's true at all.
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: You you don't think a black man could say that
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: he doesn't want I think that's type. But he wants
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: a refined, natural type.
- 1:19:26Speaker 3: Yes, I think that it's worse that a white man
- 1:19:28Speaker 3: said it.
- 1:19:29Speaker 5: That's I think that's what you always can never just
- 1:19:31Speaker 5: leave that part out, like it's a white man talking
- 1:19:33Speaker 5: like that, so that's always gonna get your Spidey senses up,
- 1:19:36Speaker 5: like hold on, what the fuck?
- 1:19:37Speaker 3: Like maybe he dates black women, that's why he's so
- 1:19:40Speaker 3: so let me get to that. Though. The version of
- 1:19:42Speaker 3: that clip that I saw wasn't that clip. It was
- 1:19:45Speaker 3: a clip from O. G. Big Matt OG Big Matt.
- 1:19:50Speaker 5: Yes, of course, and yeah, and og Big Matt is
- 1:19:54Speaker 5: loved on Instagram because most of the time he is
- 1:19:57Speaker 5: on the right side of the politic that people feel
- 1:20:01Speaker 5: is appropriate for the time being.
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: O G.
- 1:20:04Speaker 5: Big Matt is also married to a white woman, and
- 1:20:08Speaker 5: his response to this was, oh, well, I'm not mad
- 1:20:12Speaker 5: at this guy because what he's saying has some merit
- 1:20:16Speaker 5: because he mentioned people like Tisha Campbell and Patrets Russian.
- 1:20:21Speaker 5: But he also went on to og Big Matt also
- 1:20:23Speaker 5: replied by saying, just talking about like the greatness of
- 1:20:26Speaker 5: black women in general.
- 1:20:28Speaker 3: I think the problem is that everyone has their preferences,
- 1:20:30Speaker 3: everyone has likes and dislikes. But when you start talking
- 1:20:33Speaker 3: about like a science experiment and cursing my family and
- 1:20:38Speaker 3: the CIA, and these look like like you've gone too far.
- 1:20:42Speaker 3: You're not talking about you going out of your way.
- 1:20:46Speaker 3: These narratives the narrative that exists before.
- 1:20:49Speaker 5: He said that for us us, but those astic narratives.
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: They're not and I disagree. It's the same way as
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: the black community. We are like we and when I
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: say we, people who do like to see us more refined.
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: We cringe at a zoos network, We cringe at the
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: stereotypes being being pushed to the media.
- 1:21:13Speaker 3: Those are respectability politics.
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: But let's but let's talk about it too. There's still
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: a lot of people that question why Sexy Ray got
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: the push and platform that she did. But a rhap
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: city doesn't black excellence. But we're trying, and so to me,
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: I'm not mad at anywhere. You said a black man
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: couldn't have even said that. I disagree.
- 1:21:31Speaker 3: They said, all the time he sounds like all.
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: The time, me all the time.
- 1:21:35Speaker 3: I said, all the time, exactly how he talks.
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: I don't want a nigga with but dazzlement at all.
- 1:21:43Speaker 3: Patricia Rushland, No, no, no, no.
- 1:21:45Speaker 5: Myron Gaines doesn't like black women because he thinks black
- 1:21:47Speaker 5: women are sexy red whatever that means to him and
- 1:21:51Speaker 5: Glorilla whatever.
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: That means acknowledging that that's not the case here. So
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: like for me and for me as a black woman,
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: I want an educated, wealth came, clean cut black man.
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: I don't want a hook booker.
- 1:22:03Speaker 4: I'm sorry book for context of who this guy is before,
- 1:22:07Speaker 4: because you guys are saying some good points. But so
- 1:22:10Speaker 4: his name is Fawcett, he's fought streamer, and he has
- 1:22:14Speaker 4: he has a lot a lot of large play streaming
- 1:22:16Speaker 4: on kick and and kick is where you get like that.
- 1:22:18Speaker 4: Aiden Ross is yeah about to say, you know what,
- 1:22:22Speaker 4: maggot Jason Folks so that that's kind of the sandbox
- 1:22:25Speaker 4: that he plays.
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: Who's saying this.
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: I'm still not mad, And I think I think anyone
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: should be able to say that there with no no
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: race is a monolith.
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: So to me, him coming out and saying that he
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: prefers that he still loves black women but he wants
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: his black woman to look a certain way is no
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: different than me as a black woman saying that even
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: in me only dating black men, there's a certain black
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: man I don't very different.
- 1:22:50Speaker 5: He's a white man also, he's not just saying the
- 1:22:53Speaker 5: white women the black women that I like. There was
- 1:22:55Speaker 5: no reason to even bring Blowrilla or Sexy Red or
- 1:22:59Speaker 5: Northwest into none of that fear.
- 1:23:00Speaker 3: He could just say what I dated black. The question
- 1:23:03Speaker 3: that someone perpetly sent him was, would you date a
- 1:23:05Speaker 3: black women? Sure?
- 1:23:06Speaker 5: I love black women like Tisha Campbell and Patrese Russian
- 1:23:08Speaker 5: And go about your business here, taking your opportunity to
- 1:23:12Speaker 5: kick somebody's back in just because you think that that
- 1:23:16Speaker 5: shit is ghetto and ugly and niggery. That see, That's
- 1:23:19Speaker 5: pretty much what he said, everything except calling them niggers
- 1:23:22Speaker 5: science experiments created by the CIA.
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: I mean that I ain't gonna hold you. I ain't
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: gonna hold you. When I watched Zeus, I wouldn't fuck
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: any of them bitches.
- 1:23:32Speaker 3: Sure yuck.
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: So if we are seeing if I could see him
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: and say that we as people are anti the behaviors
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: and the way would they portray themselves even on TV.
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: I'm saying me as a person, I would not fuck
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: or be with a person who dresses or looks or
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: behaves in that manner. I don't think it's wrong for anybody,
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: especially if he's saying he loves them, he dates them,
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: I like black women. He's not being racist about it.
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: He's saying, but this is the type that I like.
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: I think if we are a place that allows preferences
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: and types and the way that y'all do, what is
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: the problem with expressing that.
- 1:24:09Speaker 4: Out louds The messengers the problem here?
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: We got the messages the problem.
- 1:24:14Speaker 5: It's a white man. Part of it can never be
- 1:24:15Speaker 5: stripped away from the conversation. You saying that, it's not
- 1:24:18Speaker 5: the same thing as him saying, I'm only bringing that
- 1:24:20Speaker 5: up also a black man. I don't think you're saying
- 1:24:24Speaker 5: a black man, because no, I think black men have
- 1:24:26Speaker 5: gotten cooked for saying that same type of ship for
- 1:24:29Speaker 5: years and years and years.
- 1:24:31Speaker 3: I don't think that is new.
- 1:24:32Speaker 5: I don't think him getting cooked is specific to him
- 1:24:35Speaker 5: being a white Yeah, he's the wrong message.
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: So a man is the wrong message, because am I
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: gonna get cooked for saying I wouldn't with someone that's.
- 1:24:42Speaker 3: They might well find out when a clip.
- 1:24:47Speaker 4: You're saying, you're saying, you're saying your preferences. He's not
- 1:24:49Speaker 4: setting it up as his preferences.
- 1:24:51Speaker 5: I think that is better than this right here, And
- 1:24:55Speaker 5: the preference is proofessed of like, Oh, I'm not racist.
- 1:25:00Speaker 5: I'm just saying what I like. I'm not misogynist. I'm
- 1:25:02Speaker 5: just saying what I like. That's exactly how Dusty red
- 1:25:05Speaker 5: Pill managed to your niggas.
- 1:25:06Speaker 3: Talk about it. If that's exactly how you had a choice.
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: Next week he came about to give me a problematic
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: ass you have.
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: To say, you have to pick one. Okay, this is
- 1:25:17Speaker 3: that thrill, Sexy Red? Which one you let touch it? Oh?
- 1:25:26Speaker 5: None?
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: Nothing?
- 1:25:28Speaker 3: Not? I said one of them, touch them touch it?
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: You. I let them touch me.
- 1:25:39Speaker 3: Gloriohole's touch touches.
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: They got glorioleside. They got to be in a whole
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: ski man. I don't like. I don't want to see them.
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: I put my puss it through a hole.
- 1:25:48Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Glory, I don't know Glory got that's crazy.
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not sexually and mind you got to
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: interview Sexy Red. I think she's dope and cool. You
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: set that up for us. Yes, yes, what I want
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: to be intimate with either one of them? Absolutely not,
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: but that's fine. Like to be fair, I even find
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: brandon Ingram to be disgusting now, because that's who's got
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: a lot going on. I don't even like him choosing
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: her as his partner makes me be like, E yuck.
- 1:26:21Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: I judge niggas about who they fuck, and Brendan Ingram
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: is e yuk to me.
- 1:26:26Speaker 3: Now, no, that's fair.
- 1:26:27Speaker 5: I just think there's a huge difference. Like I can
- 1:26:31Speaker 5: say what I like without saying what I hate. Like
- 1:26:35Speaker 5: it's real, it's real simple to do. I don't have
- 1:26:38Speaker 5: to kick nobody's back in. I don't have to talk
- 1:26:40Speaker 5: about nobody's gender or nobody how they look or whatever
- 1:26:43Speaker 5: they do.
- 1:26:43Speaker 3: I could just be like, what do you what do
- 1:26:45Speaker 3: you like? Do you like vanilla ice cream? Do you
- 1:26:48Speaker 3: like cookies and cream? Do you like mink chocolate chip? Yeah?
- 1:26:51Speaker 3: I don't have to uh what they call it? Yuck,
- 1:26:53Speaker 3: you're young. I heard that.
- 1:26:55Speaker 1: But even your this or that, let's move it to
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: if I was talking about and that that this or
- 1:27:01Speaker 1: that is comparable to me, and you asking me boosy
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: or Charleston white like that's what like? And so I
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: think that we should be able to identify that there
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: are differences even in preferences, and we should be able
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: to say it. And I don't hear how much you
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: don't like your niggle.
- 1:27:22Speaker 4: Preferences is fine, hierarchies is not.
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: All right. Well, let's get into the last topic here
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: we go. Let's play this clip, and this is where
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: we'll talk about to uh if y'all felt anything was wrong,
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: if if also the messenger was wrong here because it's
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: the child to the parent, and I saw this one
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: last topic of the pod. Let's get into it.
- 1:27:45Speaker 3: This was there.
- 1:27:48Speaker 4: My own house.
- 1:27:51Speaker 3: You really are on drugs. You need to find me.
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: My AMEX card.
- 1:27:58Speaker 3: You need to find me more clothes.
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: You know what I mean. There's so much to build.
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: Like how you said you're still going up. We can
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: go up together.
- 1:28:07Speaker 3: This doesn't have to be a you thing.
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: It can be a wee thing.
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: And then when I'm older and I have no nursing
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: home and I need you to take care you can't
- 1:28:16Speaker 2: do that, nurse, You're not going to do that.
- 1:28:17Speaker 3: Two words, she's hilarious. So you put your dad in
- 1:28:21Speaker 3: the nursing home.
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: What else would I do? Take care of you myself?
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: Go all, put me in your home and have twenty
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: four hour nursing assistant in my house with my kids.
- 1:28:35Speaker 3: She's effectively in my.
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: Car and my husband and my pool, my guest trip.
- 1:28:45Speaker 3: The one that made it all possible.
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: She's from a distance guy.
- 1:28:50Speaker 3: You know, I don't want to see him public. I
- 1:29:02Speaker 3: don't want to see him debating, no other sports figure out.
- 1:29:05Speaker 3: I just want him and his daughter on the screen
- 1:29:08Speaker 3: on and just thephew with their nephew. Every once in
- 1:29:12Speaker 3: a while a lot of.
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: People said the exact opposite of you and was like,
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: this is cringe. Don't want to see it. How dare
- 1:29:20Speaker 1: she say that to her father?
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: I love I don't believe she's serious. I do believe
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: she's performing. I do believe she's from the line of
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: stephen A. Smith, and she doing it. She understands, con
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: she understands, she understands.
- 1:29:30Speaker 3: The tone of voice suggested to me that she knows
- 1:29:33Speaker 3: exactly what.
- 1:29:34Speaker 5: The way she's getting so queer and why she said
- 1:29:36Speaker 5: nursing home, like like, that's not that's what she's not
- 1:29:39Speaker 5: going to do.
- 1:29:39Speaker 3: That's performance. I love it.
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: So do y'all find a problem with someone saying to
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: their parents, I'll put you in a nursing home.
- 1:29:52Speaker 3: You can't stay with it. I don't believe she generally.
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: In general, because are y'alling kidding me? Nursing home.
- 1:29:58Speaker 3: Well, listen, I don't.
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: I don't I want to anyone in my space.
- 1:30:02Speaker 3: But it's not that type you don't want to care
- 1:30:04Speaker 3: for them. It was just different things. That's being in
- 1:30:07Speaker 3: this space because you're not going to be them being
- 1:30:11Speaker 3: in a space.
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: They confined to it. That's the reason why they're going
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: to be in your place. So it's just a matter
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: of at that point you have to care for them.
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: That's the part you probably don't.
- 1:30:19Speaker 3: Want to do.
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: Because he did say the twenty four hour nurse.
- 1:30:21Speaker 3: Yeah, he's rich. I'm pretty sure they'll have it set up. Yeah,
- 1:30:27Speaker 3: have ANX.
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: But this is it's crazy because whenever I have the
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: conversation about not wanting children, right the first thing immediately
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: is like, well, who's going to take care of you
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: when you're old? And when we talk about you saying well,
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: they have a big house, they have all this space.
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: The majority of people are struggling right now, can't afford
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: a twenty four hour nurse, don't have extra bedrooms. No,
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: I'm talking about the majority of America. So this idea
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: that anyone has to now bring in their parents and
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: care for them, it's not realistic. It's not a realistic ask, it's.
- 1:30:58Speaker 3: Not a feasibley's not equipped for that everyone.
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: And so this is maybe not for Steven A. Smith,
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: but this is a common response, and I saw so
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: many people upset that this was the response. And maybe
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: because of the wealth, but for most of America, I
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: believe a nursing home is what's the most.
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: Every parent knows their kid, they know if their kid
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: is going to be willing to do something like that,
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: and hopefully they would set it up where that wouldn't
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: even be a conversation because you don't want miscare from
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: your own offspring, right right, But if you know the hand,
- 1:31:33Speaker 2: that's where you tend to lean towards, and if the
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: hand is not you know, there to be cared, then yeah,
- 1:31:38Speaker 2: you might have to go to the nursing home.
- 1:31:39Speaker 5: I mean, my mom has always said, like even when
- 1:31:41Speaker 5: she was in her like forties, she was like, yeah,
- 1:31:43Speaker 5: when it's time to move out of like the house,
- 1:31:46Speaker 5: and we always have like, yeah, send me to a
- 1:31:48Speaker 5: senior citizens joint and let us talk about My mom
- 1:31:50Speaker 5: will always say that and he always she said that
- 1:31:52Speaker 5: for years she said that.
- 1:31:54Speaker 3: So she's not tripping off of it. But guess what
- 1:31:56Speaker 3: when it was time. I think I think we take care.
- 1:31:57Speaker 4: Of my sentiment.
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: Right you said?
- 1:31:59Speaker 4: What they think them in is like, you know, you
- 1:32:01Speaker 4: take care of your kids, and you don't want your
- 1:32:02Speaker 4: kids to take care of you, right.
- 1:32:05Speaker 3: Understood.
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: I would like that to be just an okay sentiment
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: to have because like it does become a burden and
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: it becomes like, why would you want my life to
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: become difficult in your old age when we all know
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: we're gonna get old, Like there should be conversation. And
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: you know what's crazy, now that I think about it,
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: I've had the conversation with my mom with what she
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: wants to do in her passing. She wants to be
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: cremated and put into the ocean. But I don't think,
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: now that I think about it, we've had the conversation
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: about old age because my mom is babe, she gonna
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: be trucking if you ask me, she's gonna be working
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: till she in a step. Oh I'm gonna be I'm
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: gonna hire somebody. I don't want none of my I
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: don't want any of my family, first of all my sisters.
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: Oh no, none of my sisters. I don't want my
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: mama to do it.
- 1:32:54Speaker 3: Give everybody fits to me, I'm not gonna lie in
- 1:32:57Speaker 3: my old age.
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: I would like to hopefully be in a position to
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: higher care. But I mean, my mom is a nurse,
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: but she gonna be older than me or not here anymore.
- 1:33:08Speaker 3: And none of my.
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: Sisters are nurses. I can't think that any of my
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: sisters would know what the fuck to do with me,
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
- 1:33:14Speaker 3: I mean, all play too right.
- 1:33:16Speaker 5: We're talking about like old is one thing, infirmed is
- 1:33:20Speaker 5: something different. So like you can just you can be
- 1:33:23Speaker 5: ninety five years old and still be able to wipe
- 1:33:25Speaker 5: your own ass and it just is what it is. Well,
- 1:33:27Speaker 5: you could be seventy two and be in bad shape
- 1:33:29Speaker 5: and need constant care and everybody a isn't equipped for that,
- 1:33:33Speaker 5: willing to do that, And that's just like you said,
- 1:33:36Speaker 5: it's not I.
- 1:33:36Speaker 3: Don't think that's realistic for most Americans.
- 1:33:39Speaker 1: I mean, And that's that's the thing too, right, Like
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: like I know that dementia runs in my family. If
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: it becomes difficult like that, like I have like BPD, bipolar,
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: people with like neurological you know, issues that I choose
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: not to deal with if I am faith with dementia.
- 1:34:01Speaker 1: I don't want to be that burden on anybody. And
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: I think that there's a level of awareness that I think,
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: even in old age we should have to wear. As
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: old parents, we shouldn't want to be a burden onto
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: our children. We shouldn't want them to have to deal
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: with the emotional label or emotional abuse of what's to
- 1:34:22Speaker 1: come once you start, you know, declining. And so I
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: don't know, I'm not mad at her saying this because
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: I ain't gonna hold you Stephen A. Smith at his healthiest.
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine putting up with that nigga in old age.
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: Oh my God, think home for you.
- 1:34:37Speaker 3: A nigga like Stephen A.
- 1:34:38Speaker 5: Smith is probably gonna hire like five only fans girls
- 1:34:43Speaker 5: and like taking care of them and shit like that.
- 1:34:46Speaker 3: Nigga's not gonna have no regular nurse. That nigga's not
- 1:34:49Speaker 3: gonna have no old lady.
- 1:34:50Speaker 5: He's gonna be perfectly happy whatever situation that he figures out.
- 1:34:54Speaker 5: That had nothing to do with my daughter having to
- 1:34:57Speaker 5: come and change my depends every she wants.
- 1:34:59Speaker 1: Do you do you feel though, that that narrative is
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: a healthy one for us overall? Like that as children,
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: we are supposed to be take care of our parents
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: in old age and for parents and vice versa. Do
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: you think it's fair that to have children just to
- 1:35:17Speaker 1: take care of you when you get old on the
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: conversation the expectation because the conversation is what we're happening now.
- 1:35:23Speaker 1: But to me, I think it's almost put as an
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: expectation and you're looked at as a bad person like
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: people are like nursing home. Like there's also society's input
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: or opinion that you're not a good child if you
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: choose not to take care of your parents in old
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: age and then also as parents is people CARTI said,
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: I like having these kids because I need people to
- 1:35:43Speaker 1: take care of me when I get old. That's also
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: to me an expectation that you're putting on people that
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: I don't think is realistical. But they got to have
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: those conversations with the I agree, and that's why I'm
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: realizing I didn't.
- 1:35:53Speaker 2: Have to have it. I'm just gone through that. And
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: it was like my mom always said, I don't want
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: y'all to but me. I'm like, but I would never
- 1:36:03Speaker 2: not do it, you know what I mean? Because I
- 1:36:05Speaker 2: know that it wouldn't it's that's my mom, right. It's
- 1:36:08Speaker 2: just you know, I'm thankful that I was able to
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: participate in that. It's just a matter of having a conversation.
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: And to your point, it's not wrong to not want
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: to be able to do that. Either if you don't
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: have the bandwidth or you're not you don't think you
- 1:36:23Speaker 2: can tolerate that, that is absolutely fine, But conversations are necessary.
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: I hope that people are commenting and watching this, do
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: the fake outrage shit. I hope y'all are having a
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: conversation with your parents, probably have kids, just to what
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: your expectations is talking.
- 1:36:38Speaker 5: But also I think some of it is cultural, not
- 1:36:40Speaker 5: like Black culture, but like for culture, immigrant families and
- 1:36:44Speaker 5: things like that. Sometimes the idea is like, no, we
- 1:36:47Speaker 5: all live together, like the family is the family.
- 1:36:50Speaker 3: There is no like you're over there, I'm over there.
- 1:36:53Speaker 5: If you have an elder who is infirmed, if you
- 1:36:56Speaker 5: have a cousin who is down bad, whatever the case is,
- 1:37:00Speaker 5: like we all stay in this same house or in
- 1:37:03Speaker 5: this same neighborhood. You're already the city, You're already there.
- 1:37:05Speaker 5: The community is already established for us to be able
- 1:37:07Speaker 5: to help each other.
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: And sometimes for if you don't grow up inside of
- 1:37:13Speaker 2: that kind of culture, with that kind of idealism.
- 1:37:15Speaker 3: You're just like like the daughter, like, all right, nurse
- 1:37:18Speaker 3: a home for you.
- 1:37:18Speaker 5: I'm gonna go about my life in my pool, in
- 1:37:20Speaker 5: my house with my husband and my kids, and you
- 1:37:23Speaker 5: be over there and we'll come holl at you on Thursdays.
- 1:37:26Speaker 3: I think I act like I'm here.
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: I will say, in terms of the need for conversation,
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: you said the conversation needs to be had with your parents,
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: I will say also, this is a conversation to be
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: had in romantic partnerships, yes, because if you're going to
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: be cohabitating, like you don't know if your spouse is
- 1:37:47Speaker 1: aligned with moving in their parents in old age, and
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: now that becomes a burden that you have to take
- 1:37:52Speaker 1: on as well. So this is a conversation that also
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: needs to be had in romantic partnerships.
- 1:37:56Speaker 5: And honestly, and I hear this conversation more about men
- 1:38:00Speaker 5: in getting married that I even do about kids. I
- 1:38:03Speaker 5: know a lot of women who are like, look at
- 1:38:05Speaker 5: these old niggas with nobody, and they think they still
- 1:38:08Speaker 5: in the club.
- 1:38:08Speaker 2: They think it's cute. But when you get old, who
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: you're not going to have a wife to help you out.
- 1:38:13Speaker 2: You're not going to have a partner to help you out.
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: You're just going to die alone and be like Kevin Samuels.
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: I just hate that rhetoric because again, and this is
- 1:38:21Speaker 1: I think what men need to do better at is friendships.
- 1:38:25Speaker 1: Like when people talk about dying old or dying with
- 1:38:28Speaker 1: nobody there, maybe I got a community around me. I
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: have no fear in saying that I don't want to
- 1:38:35Speaker 1: be married, saying that I don't want children, and that
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: I fear dying alone. I have really good friends in
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: my system now and cut a lot of these bitches
- 1:38:43Speaker 1: off because I realize they're not good. But the ones
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: that are still in my life I have that are strong.
- 1:38:49Speaker 1: I have very good male friends in my life. I
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: have show that I still think would always show up
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: for me. And so to me, this idea that only
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: your romantic partners are your children or who's gonna watch
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: you after age. We all create communities and villages around us,
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: and I think that that needs to be pressed as
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: what's more important not just that your kids or your
- 1:39:10Speaker 1: husband gonna be the only ones. When you build community
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: and you live life as a good person and a
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: giving person and a caring person. You're never going to
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: be alone.
- 1:39:18Speaker 3: No, I'm with you one thousand percent.
- 1:39:19Speaker 5: And I think that's an important point to make because
- 1:39:23Speaker 5: you're right, Like you talk about your family and then
- 1:39:25Speaker 5: the family that you choose, yep, and like who you
- 1:39:28Speaker 5: surround yourself with, Who do you trust?
- 1:39:29Speaker 3: Who do you know will show up for you? Who
- 1:39:31Speaker 3: do you know actually loves you, cares for you and
- 1:39:33Speaker 3: wants to do those things for you?
- 1:39:34Speaker 5: And people are wrapped up in that romance of like
- 1:39:38Speaker 5: my husband, my wife, if that's the only thing you'll
- 1:39:40Speaker 5: ever have once you get married, And.
- 1:39:42Speaker 3: That's just not true.
- 1:39:43Speaker 1: It's just not true.
- 1:39:44Speaker 3: It could be an uber driver, it could be a driver.
- 1:39:48Speaker 5: The most wants you to be decent. We're putting decent
- 1:39:53Speaker 5: right along with great these sense decen the same place.
