• 1:26
  Speaker 1: them days. I've been doing seventy five hard and I'm
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: on day eight.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: What does that mean?
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: It's a workout program? Well, it's not necessarily a workout
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: program because they don't give you no workouts to do.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: But what you gotta do is two forty five minute
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: workouts a day, drink a gallon of water every day.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: You gotta pick a book and read ten pages of
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that book every night, and you gotta oh and no alcohol.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Look, that's the easiest one for me. What else is it? Oh?
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: That's easy. We would be trying to read that night.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Workouts to day has not been easy for me.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: But I feel like when I okay, I have not
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: work out worked out in about three weeks. First of all,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: not I did this weekend. Like when I say workout,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I mean like every day, right, some type of something.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I haven't been consistent the last couple weeks because I
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: couldn't find time for real, I gotta But that's regular, right,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: because I know this is hard.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: That's why I was seventy five hard.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: But when I go to the gym, I do forty
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: five minutes of cardio and forty five minutes of like
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: calisthetics or waits already, like just in one setting, though
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I don't split it up.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I guess you could do that if
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you wanted to do it that way. But seven days
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a week, no days off, Oh, seven days a week,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: seventy five days straight.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Seven days a week for seventy five days straight. Yes, man,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: that's too much time. That's three months almost right, yeah, girl.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: No, it's like two and a half months. But the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: reason I wanted to do it is because my friend
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Diana did it, and I mean she lost fifteen pounds,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: but all right. She also like, because you just one
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: of the workouts is supposed to be outside m H.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: So you do a forty five minutes outside and forty
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: five minutes. You could do both outside if you want,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: but one of them is supposed to be outside, you know.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: But like when it was raining and it was cold,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't go outside.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: I'm just like, what walking running walking?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't like whatever you like, you know, whatever you
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: want the workout to be. And now I'm on day eight,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and the hardest part for me has been so getting
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: those workouts in on the weekend has, like my busy days,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: has proven kind of difficult. I was in the gym
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Saturday night after a party at eleven thirty, trying to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: get it in before twelve o'clock.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Made you be dedicated when you locked it, I'd be
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: like bullshitting with life.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Okay, I gotta get like you.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Y'all tell me, ay be doing some fucking donkey kicks
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: randomly somewhere.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: I got video bitch to prove it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: That bitch gonna get it in when she lock in.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: But me, okay, so yeah, I'm super locking right now.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: But that's that's all. But the hardest part is the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: no alcohol.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: That is that would be that I don't drink like that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: So that's the easiest part for me.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I was at a party everybody and it seems like
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: when you tell people you're not drinking, everybody's like challenge
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: accept it. Now they think it's their personal challenge to
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: get you to drink. You know, like just one shot. Damn,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you can't do one shot with me. You can't do
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: one shot with me. No, I can't do one shot
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: with you, So don't ask me until June. But I
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: feel good. I'm all happy and shit.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I like saying no. I don't got no problem telling people, no, pass.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Me some weed. Ain't know seventy five hard, don't say
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: nothing about weed?

  Speaker 3: Right?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I have that too, But then there's no sugar, So.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: No sugar for seventy five days. Now that might be
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: my struggle area as well. But I kind of got
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: to do something like that right now because I just
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: got to kick like the bread, the sugar.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: That's like my main problems issues in life. And I
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: feel like I've been doing really well with no bread.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I open out candies and shit, let'spress of Martini. Hate
• 5:28

  Speaker 4: He was one of the kids this weekend.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was at the kiddie table, not drinking. Let's
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: get into sense.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: There's a lot going on in the world.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Of politics and just America. So people are so concerned
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: about these tariffs. What do you think about the tariffs
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: that are being imposed on other nations?
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: I understand them. What's your take on them?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. I feel like, you know
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: some of the stuff. I'm looking at it, like, why
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: are we paying y'all so much? And y'all ain't paying
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a ship? You know, that's point. So that's one of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the points. Yeah, I'm okay with that. But however, Comma,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I'm very concerned about the tariffs between China and America
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: because I work in the industry. I mean a lot
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of us. We rely heavily on Chinese imports
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and with the hair business and my weave girlies. How
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: much is these bundles gonna be in the coming months
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: when these terrorfts are applied?
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: You know, y'all can hit me up. I got a
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: surplus coming in. I put my water in early. I
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: have a surplus.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, just.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Bundle during a zombie, right.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want Indian hair.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Though, that's the best hair, like, Okay.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I visited China when I was looking to start holiday hair,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: which will happen in one of these days. I went
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: to China and I saw these people smoke cigarettes. You here,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: that shit is on the fucking floor, on the ground.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: The vendor I use for India, we FaceTime like I
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: can see their facility, you know what I'm saying. I
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: haven't actually went to India to visit, but I went
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: and went to several places in China. So I get
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: my frontals and shit from a place I visited in China.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: But other than that, that should be trash anyway, It
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: really do be trash, and a lot of it.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. But everybody can't afford six and seven
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars bundles, you know.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Well that's the mouth that people consider the like, Okay,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: the retailer. The retailers are the ones that's causing your
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: bundles to be two three hundred dollars.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: And imagine not how much their opinion.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: How much these other vendors are gonna go up knowing
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: that these Chinese imports are this much. So now y'all
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: ruling I gonna come to us. I think we're gonna
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: take the price up. We just don't have to see
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: how it play. But you know, everybody, like I definitely
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: service the girl who has kids. Who is a single
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: mom who doesn't have that kind of money to invest
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: in a hairstyle. You know, I have those clients and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I care about them, and we're gonna have to do
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: your hair, and who want to sell person during the summer,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: then you're gonna have to get braids and then guess what,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I don't do those.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: So on a grand scheme of things, right, our hair
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: should be the least of our worries when it comes
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: to this thing, right, I do take.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: You to me for me. That's how I earn my money.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: So that can't be the least of the words for me,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and it should not be the least of the words
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: for y'all because I need y'all to still come.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: I take into consideration that, right.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: And I also think about how Asian restaurants, Asian hair stores,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: and how they've always been implanted in the black communities
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: and they send they don't invest in the communities that
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: they're in and the people that they service and who
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: frequent their establishments, and they send out their money home.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: That's a problem too.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: If we want to start a hair company, they're gonna
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: already charge if we excuse me, not a hair company.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: If we want to start a beauty supply store. Black
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: people have always been trying to start beauty supply stores
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: and they're hardly ever successful because they have a monopoly
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: on that industry. What if we actually started manufacturing some
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: of that stuff ourselves over here?
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: You see what I'm saying.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: This is what This is what Trump is trying to
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: get business owners, big small companies, little companies, big corporations
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: to try and bring back that that that industrialization back
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: to America as opposed to us always having to go
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: outside of our country for everything because because there was
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: a time where America things you would see things made
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: in America. Now everything is made in China, made in Vietnam,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: made in Taiwan. You see what I'm saying. So he
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: wants to try to bring that ship back to America.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: And this is kind of how.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: You go working in places. Though Americans don't want to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: work in in places. Are not trying to work in
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: No factory.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: People work in factories.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Now what we what are we I'm saying? But they're Americans.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Most Americans aren't trying to be factory workers.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Girl. I feel like, yes we are.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of people would do those jobs,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: but they were. They think about Detroit, right, think about
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: places like India. What's it where Michael Jackson was born at? Gary, Indiana?
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Have you ever been to Gary?
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Why would I go there?
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Gary?
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've been because I wish it wasn't I
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: want to go visit Michael Jackson's home that he grew
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: up in Gary, Indiana?
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: You went specifically for that.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: I went to Chicago and we caught the train. It's
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: only like twenty minutes to Gary.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Gar folks, If y'all listening, I'm just saying it ain't
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: like you know, so we were.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: You know, it used to be a booming city for
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: black people, in particular, because when we talk about black jobs,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just let's just be honest. Those are
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: some of the things that black people have been doing
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: in America. And black people were feeding their families for
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: a very long time. On the car industry, all these
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: different industries that eventually got taken from this country and
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: sent overseas. Right, So we were doing it at one point.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: We don't do it because somebody else is doing it
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: for us. If we no longer have that option, thing's
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: gonna have to change. I don't see a problem with
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: taxing Canada. Canada whole existence depends on America. If we
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: tax them more on the things that they're sinning here
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: that that doesn't it doesn't just hurt America, it really
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: hurts their industry. And all Trump is trying to do
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: is get people to stop having drugs come into the country.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: That's really how this shit started. So this is like
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: retaliation because I'm not helping us manage.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Feeling like America is trying to absorb Canada because other resources.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: I mean that America got natural resources as well. You
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: But we we are dealing with We are living in
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: a country where these people are conquerors.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: We're dealing with the worst of the worst.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: They've been expelled from Europe and tell America how fucking
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: years ago this is what we're dealing with. But I
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: need people to realize this is our country too, this
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: is our country, Like we gotta support it. We can't
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: be online cheering the fucking president of China on like
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: that shit is weird to me.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: We here, this is where our children are. You know
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: You gotta so support your country on some things. Okay,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I don't support this country on the fucking war in Palestine.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: I don't support that shit.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I don't like that children being murdered, and I don't
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: feel like enough people are able to even talk about
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: it without being called anti Semitic. So that shit is
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: weird as hell to me. That's the only thing I
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: don't support. But rebuilding America for that shit.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: If America can be great for the first time, I'm
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: with it, you know, I'm always with that. But I
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: am not with these bundles going up.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Hit me up, curly, what's going on this time? To
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: get holiday hair popping? Shit?
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Zombie upopped? The lips happened. I got the bundles, bitch,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: we're gonna be the only ones a weave stow hair
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: stove popping?
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: What else we got going on? Y'all?
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: That was our politic political rant for a quick second.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: So Gail King took her ask to space, y'all. I
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: don't know if y'all saw that, but there was a
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: celebrity launch with the Blue Origin launch with Gail King
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: and Katy Perry, and there was a list of other
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: celebrity women who went up into space and then came
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: right back down. And there's a video that's gone viral
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: of Gail looking very conflicted about taking her ass up
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: in the sky, and then when she makes it back down,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: she kisses the ground, y'all. That, And then there's also
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a video where she's like, look at the bone, look
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: look look look like sounding like very like h like
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: a childlike, you know, that childlike innocence when you're seeing
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: something for the first time. So I thought that was cool.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: And this accompanyed Blue Origin, so I did. I looked
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: up some shit on them. So it says about Blue Origin,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: it's the generation's job to build a road to space
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: so the future generations can unloosh their creativity. And it
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: says we're building a road to space for the benefit
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: of Earth. And that is a quote by the first
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: one was a quote by Jeff Bezos or handing this
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: or so.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Jeff, I think he chartered the last flight out of space, right,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: So personally, I don't think that they are getting past
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: the Orion's belt when they go into space. I don't
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: think that they're actually going outside of this atmosphere because
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: I do believe there's a dome, y'all. I believe in
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: the Bible. They talk about it in the Bible. I
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: do believe that there's a dome that we haven't been
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: able to penetrate. So they probably are going as far
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: as that dome will allow them to. I don't think
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: they're actually going into space and then just coming right
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: back down.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Well, says among those who have previously boarded the new
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Shepherd's Capsule. Ticket first sold for twenty eight million for
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the very first flight up into space, with twenty eight
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: million per ticket, y'all, So I won't go for a while.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I want to go. I'll do that shit, and I'll
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: get on that ship and go up there. But I'm
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: gonna wait till the ticket price go down a little bit,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of bits.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: By the time I get up there, it's gonna be
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: like detrimental, like for everybody to go because Earth is
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: over and that's that's what we'll get up As.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Soon as they put a Starbucks get it Starbucks so fluid,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna be there.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Shame Yeah, I don't know, y'all.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I just feel like they're trying to it's to me,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: it's all a big it's a big sham.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: But we've ever been to the moon.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Can anything ever be what it is? Though?
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: No, it can't be because I know for sure that
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Ronald which president.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Was in when they went to the moon before.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Ford.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: No, they had him calling on a landline phone to
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: the rocket.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: That's not impossible.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: And we know that the CI who was it, I
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: can't remember, but I remember the video of him calling
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: calling the uh calling.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: They played in our face with that.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: That's what and they still playing We get the same
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: image of the moon all the time, Like why can't
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: we get like an image that looks like it looks
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: like when we take a picture from Earth looking.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: At the moon.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: It's like always the same, Like who's taking that picture?
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Who the fuck was taking the camera? Who was taking
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: pictures of the person on the moon? Who was behind
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: the camera?
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: It was Nixon?
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, so you're right, so Nixon called, right, But then
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: think about the man walking on the moon putting.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: The flag up?
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Who recorded that video was the only person up? Then
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: it's all done in a Hollywood studio. This is how
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: I feel.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: So I don't know where they're going.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: I feel like out of space is actually over there
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: as opposed to up there.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Neil Armstrong didn't land on shit, is what you're saying.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: He landed on Hollywood Studio.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Yes, I know it.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: There is some with all the technology we have now
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and thinking about how things were, this was what nineteen
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: forever ago. Yeah, between nineteen sixteen nine and nineteen seventy four,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: because that's when Nixon was in office, y'all did not
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: have the technology to have that phone call.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: I know that, but not from a landline anyway, you
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: see what I'm saying.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Like I do believe that they have always had some technology,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: but they choose when they like cell phones, like they
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: choose when they're.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Going to give it to release it the general public.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: So a lot of things they've been had access to
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: because our ancestors from the future, like I like to call,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: left that stuff here. So it's just like it's from
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: the landline, you wallin' and we see you really really walin'.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: It was a regular office phone, more a low beige,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: low office phone.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: I don't believe it.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Hello, Neil, I have a feel up there.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: You need more.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: People, Go ahead. What happened else? What else happened? So?
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, I saw this article and I just because my
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: homegirls having a baby went to the baby shower, and
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: several other old bitches at the baby shower are also expecting.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: So exciting, so an article came out.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: It says, for the first time ever, women over forty
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: are having more.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Babies than teens.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: The article goes on it says, for the first time
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: in the United States, the number of births to women
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: aged forty and over has surpassed those two teenagers. This
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: shift reflects a significant decline in teen birth rates alongside
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: and increase in births among older women. According to the
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: National Center for Health Statistics, in twenty twenty three, women
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: aged forty and above accounted for four point one percent
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: of births, while teenage teenagers accounted for four percent. This
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: trend is attributed to various factors, including advances and fertility treatments,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: greater financial stability, and evolving societal norms that support delayed parenthood.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: It says.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Conversely, the decline and teen births is linked to improve
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: access to contraception and comprehensive sex education.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: And my hypothesis is.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: The bitches who had abortions as teenagers are now having babies.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: We got punished for like twenty years and now God
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: like Okay, bitch, you up next.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: All right, now it's your turn because I.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Sent you one twenty five years ago and your ass
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: send it back.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Remember the women still I already had kids. They just
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: having more in their forties, that's.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: All that part a lot of them. So that's exciting,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: I do think that the younger girls, like, yeah, you
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: still have team pregnancy and stuff like that. But some
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: of them, some of these girls are a lot more smarter,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, have a little bit more
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: self awareness. They just ain't with that shit being tied
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: out with some dudes. Baby, you know, they're making better choices,
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: I believe.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: With their bodies. Yeah, and listen playing how long plan
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: be been out?
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Oh right?
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: That shit is over the counter now yeh, lan By
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: wasn't always over the counter, so within the last ten years,
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: I think it's been so that might play a little accessible.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Fifty dollars. You know, you can come up with a
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: fifty quick, you know.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: So if you can come up with a fifty, you
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: should not be having sex.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: And if yeah, but and it's still like literally on
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the shelf. If you can't come up with the fifty
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: can literally steal that ship out of.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Nothing, usually being the cases though, like the little security boxes.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: You can run with that ship if it really gets serious.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: This it is life, life and death.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Bitch.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah that this is actually a very This
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: is a good thing.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: This is a good thing. It's as our generation of
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: women were healthy. You know, you got to be healthy
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: to still be having a sight babies having having babies, Like.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: We're healthy. That means we might live even longer.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: And we're staying I feel like we're staying younger longer.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I think about my parents and our parents. They was
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: not outside like how we still outside. I don't think
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: like how we care about, you know, staying youthful and
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: staying you know, in good shape. And I don't think
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: our parents were as much concerned with that as we are.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: I know my mom was, but she just didn't really
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: instill in us like how important health was. Because my
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: mama literally used to work out with me as the weights,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Like I remember her doing like like sit ups and
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: shitting and lifting me up in the air, like she
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: would use me to work out. And she was always
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: smaller than me and my sisters. My mom didn't gain weight,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: so she probably was like in her fifties. Food change
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: is just not the same. So all the you know,
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: the environmental things caused her to probably gain weight. But
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: for the most part, she's always been pretty health conscious.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: She just didn't tell us that we needed to be,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: like we was definitely raised on McDonald's birth.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing telling you, y'all, if y'all witnessing it,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: you don't need to be told, Like it should be
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: just stuff that you if you're seeing it done you shit,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Like if you're.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Eating lean cuisine and we're eating big macs. Like I
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: remember my oldest sister, I always be I probably be
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: pissing them off because I always feel like the woman
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: is just responsible for the nourishment of the family, Like
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: it's just our responsibility, Like we be mad having to
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: worry about this nigga's stomach in ours, it's just our responsibility.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: So they gonna eat however we prepare things.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: And I remember my sister like being on a diet
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: and she was eating real healthy but simultaneously cooking like
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: fried chicken and shit like that for her family. Like, nah,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: they supposed to eat how you eat, so everybody could
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: be healthy together.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: You lead the pack. You know what I'm saying when
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: it comes to like health.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: So yeah, they used to piss me off With my
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: ex boyfriend, Like I would cook. He would let the
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: kids eat cereal for dinner instead of what I cooked.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Uh uh, here's the thing. It'd be something that they've
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: eaten before. You know, so you liked it the last time,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: but now you don't want it this time.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: You know what they want.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: He let them eat what they want. But guess what
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: when he go to work the next day, they'd be like,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: what's for breakfast? And I'll be like, dinner. You ain't
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: cook nothing for breakfast. You're gonna eat what I cooked
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: last night. You ate the bra for dinner, so now
• 25:53

• 25:55
  Speaker 1: food either one way or another. You're gonna have it.

  Speaker 1: And your daddy ain't here to tell you that you
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: can have more cereal. Ain't no more cereal? You ate it.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: It ain't used to be the opposite with my ex.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Kids like them niggas used to really wake me up
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: and be like, ag, like, what were we gonna eat?

  Speaker 4: I'm like, didn't y'all just have cereal? But we want
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: your breakfast.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I get up and like they want me to cook
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: like a real meal like daddy I made.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: They ass eat cold ass cereal.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: No, you're gonna eat this food because you ate it before.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: But you just want to eat cinnamon toast crunch instead
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: of eating some real food. No, you're not gonna He'll
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: let you do that, but you're not gonna have it
• 26:31

  Speaker 4: You're gonna eat this food, right, shame.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have them problems to more.

• 29:23
  Speaker 3: of a rant session for we talked back this week.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: We're just gonna talk about all the things that's bothering us.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Things we can't stand. Things were tied of seeing, things
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: were tied of talking about all the things.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: What's getting on your nerves?
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: Ah?
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, Rant number one. Okay, I don't want black women
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: to get mad at me, because I am also guilty
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: of this thing. Right, But does it not seem like
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: black women might be a little bit or act like
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: we may be a little bit above reproach collectively, Like
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: when it's a group of us, like we really beyond
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: some can't alt detail us shit. So recently I saw
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: nineteen Keys had an episode and he had a black
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: woman as a guest on there.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: And I didn't watch the episode.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Yet, I only saw the couple minute clip on Instagram
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: and he basically, like the caption was, black women need
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: to stop wearing synthetic hair.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: So he's talking about the braids.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: And again he had a woman on the show, you know,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: engaged in this conversation as well, and we know, like
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: this is synthetic here, like the synthetic fibers, Polyester, the
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: same shit most of our clothes.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: Is made of.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: So that was my only comment on the post, and
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: all I said was I agree, but the clothes is
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: made of polyester too, So what we're gonna do about that?
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: The leggings, these nigga y'all shirts, everything y'all do, rags,
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: it's all polyesters, all fake materials. But the black women
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: in the comments, niggas need to stop telling us what
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: to deal And don't nobody be telling you y'all what
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: to do. You know, I am guilty of saying that.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: You know, black women, we have lunches, brunches and conferences
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: to talk about all our shit. So no, we are
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: here in podcasts, okay, exactly, so no, we don't need
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: niggas also then telling us what to do once y'all
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: congregate and talk to y'all brethren. You know. So I'm
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: guilty of saying that shit too, But in this particular instance,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: he wasn't even saying human here. He didn't say weave,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: he didn't say, y'all, beitch, you need to start wearing frontals,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: none of that shit. He was talking about synthetic care
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: in particular, which we know most of the beauty industry
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: is killing black women right that part.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I paid two thousand dollars
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: for a hairstyle only to have to go home and
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: pour apple side of vinegar over my head and stand
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: in the shower and cry because the synthetic it was
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: supposed to be all human here, and that's what I
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: paid for. But she wrapped my lock at the top
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: with synthetic hair, and I had an allergic reaction something
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: in that hair, some kind of chemical that was on
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: that hair. It felt like fire iNTS was on my head.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I was so miserable, so I fucking synthetic hair. Fuck
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: that shit. I'm with nineteen keys. Don't put that shit
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: in your head. It is toxic. My brain felt like
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: it was squeezing through my pores. So I agree with him,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: but we we are anytime I'm in an argument with
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: a man, he started making sense.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: My chest start hurting, Why are you talking to me
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: like that? Automatic?
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Immediately I start crying.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: Let me there's black.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Women tears don't like if a fuck will we cried
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: for real.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: That shit only work on the police for me for
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: some reason. When it's my nigga, he know better. He'd
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: be like, girl, shut the fuck up, because I'm right
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: now you cry.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: I'm guilty the room I just heard.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I'm guilty, girl.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: I remember when my fucking asked like he asked me
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: to make him a sandwich.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: So I go downstairs, and as soon as my foot
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: stepped into the kitchen, I said that nigga going through
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: my cell phone like I can feel him, like I
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: almost could see him from downstairs in my phone, bitch,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: when I can't. Yes, he asked me to do that
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: just so he can get to my phone.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Girl. When I when I um back upstairs.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: He was acting in there like he was cool, but
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: I could feel his energy ship that nigga energy is sickening.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: And I said, do you found what she was looking for?
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Like he didn't even have my phone in his hand
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: at the time, I just knew he was in my shit.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Girl. He started whiling out in there, and I just
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: started crying. My grandma, the lady. I already talk to
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: the lady, and she told you to get over that shit.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Fuck you.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: And the lady on my side, the lady on my side,
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: the black lady, she's still on my side.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Listen, shit, we can be collectively beyond reproach. And I
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: attribute that to us having to be raised to be
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: so strong. Have we not been raised to be like
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: that's you when you had that baby. That's your baby,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: all right. You need to take care of yourself because
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: because if that man leave you, you're gonna have to do
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: it by yourself. So you got to be able to
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: do this, and you got to be able to do that,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: and you need to be able to understand this. And
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: you need to learn how to change your tire, and
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: you need to learn how to take out the trash.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: You need to learn how to do all these We
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: don't get to we haven't been raised to be soft.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I mean historically we have had a lot
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: of disrespect. We are never put at the top when
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: we are at the top, and we know that, right,
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: So sometimes we might move in that way. I feel
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: like when and this might come off as feminist. I'm
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: not a feminist, but I do believe that the patriarch
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: is probably about to be over and I think the
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: matriarch has always been in place.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: We've just been doing it from the bedroom.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: And I think when we start coming to the forefront
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: and telling people how shit is and how it is
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: going to be to make things better, it's kind of
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: threatening to the patriarch. So I think when we do
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: move like in droves, it could come off intimidating. You
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, like, y'all can't you can't tell
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: these bitches nothing, you know.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: Meanwhile, we got all the.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Advice for everybody else, but even when somebody's trying to
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: tell us something that's going to help us, we're telling
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: them to shut the hell up.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. It's so crazy because I always say,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: like I want somebody to come in and be a leader.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of being the leader. I want someone else
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: to captain the ship. But am I really going to
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: allow a nigga to come in and do that? That's
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: the thing, you know. Am I really going to be
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: able to relinquish control in that way to allow man
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: to be the leader? That is the cross that I bear.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: I don't think that we have these conversations, and we
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: hear these conversations on podcasts all the time, and I
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: just don't think that the GDP allows for any one
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: person to be the decision maker. And why would a
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: man have to like why would you? Why would anybody
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: want to always be the one making decisions? Like you know,
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: it should be it should be split. You're going to
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: be good at some things. He's going to be good
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: at some things. That's what equally yoke actually means. Equally
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: yoke doesn't mean like he's supposed to do everything exactly
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: how you do it and as good as you do it. No,
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: you y'all show up for each other where the other
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: persons shit.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, partnership, But I still want a leader. I think
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: my mom was like, you need a beta man. You
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: don't need no alpha male, need a beta, And I'm
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: like you.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: No, you don't.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I know, absolutely not. I don't try somebody.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want a nigga who I can easily
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: like disrespect, because that's what happens when you have somebody
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: who isn't a decision maker, who can't who's not decisive
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: about anything. Women then tend to like just take the leader.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Now I got the pants and I got standing up.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: I don't want that my mom be saying I got
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: the fussy dick like she be saying that.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: I don't ever want to feel that way.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: I don't ever want to say that to a man.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so we want the man to, you know, provide provision,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: protection and things like that. You have to be able
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: to listen to somebody if you really want them to
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: be able.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: To protect you.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: You may think it's gonna trolling when he say, you know,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: I don't think you should go outside.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: You know, go to the grocery. So it's ten o'clock.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: What the fuck you got going on?
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: You know that's not try and you complained about I
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: have it on lunch.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Well our source. Maybe we'll get instacart.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but sometimes you have to listen to
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: what your man, the man that is supposed to be
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: able to protect you because maybe you as much as
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: we think we are always alert, and you know, Mama
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: bears and just you know, sometimes somebody else has a
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: little bit more insight than you do. Black women, So
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: if you want that provision from black men, you got
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: to listen to them sometimes sometimes on Wednesdays and Sundays,
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: you gotta try.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: All right, let me see what is my vent. I
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: am so sick of trying to maintain beauty and go
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: to the gym. Oh my god, when I say I sweat,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: it's so bad in my head right, and I got
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: these European tracks in my head, and my natural hair
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: is given a fresh off. It's just such a struggle
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: every day, like I can't. I'm gotta get me some locks.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I'm going back to my locks because I can't do this.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I can't live like this anymore. That is a battle
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: for the black woman in the gym. If you are
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: not wearing a natural even with natural styles, it's just
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: still such a fucking struggle. Are you wearing a hat
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: or you got a wig? But if you got some
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: natural leave out, maybe the struggle is real.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: And I be in the gym with a hat wig,
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: I do do that right now. I actually have my
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: ship laid down blue down.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: But if I go to the gym, this's gonna be
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: lifting you.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: You. I'm want you to do then braids you had
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: back when we went to see old girl a braid
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: from there.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: We just talked about the braiding hair and that shit
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: be having my scalp and flame.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: They got they got, they got hair.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: Now that is you don't know until you're tried.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: You might think my homegirl getting her hair braided today, right,
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: and her braider had her drive all the way across
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: town because now she used to provide the hair, but
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: now she no longer provides the hair. You got to
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: bring your own hair because somebody complained about some here
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: they that she used on their heads. So now you
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: got to bring your own ship. She's no longer providing here.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: So you just never know what's going to Something might
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: work for somebody and it may not work for the
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: next person. And I have very sensitive skin.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Well, what would did you use that time? Because that worked?
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: I can't remember. I can't remember. They provided the hair.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: It was an African shop in Charlotte.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: But they got these new Uh. What I've seen is
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: supposed to be hypoallergenic and all. But you also can
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: wash your hair and apple cider vinegar and do all
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: these things first that they're saying. But I would love
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: to see you back in some braids or some locks
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: or something like that. I just I be.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: Feeling stuck, Like as soon as I put the braids in,
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: I want to take it out to see if my
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: hair grew, because.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Like immediately, that's how I feel about the gym. It's
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: my back big after two days away. What did you
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: get on the scale? Fuck?
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: I lose five pounds.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Already after one workout. But y'all know that, you know
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: you'd be wearing the wigs all the time, this part
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: of your scalp get lighter than I don't.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: So I hardly leave the house for one right and
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: when I do, like, I don't wear my Like right now,
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: I glued my hair down because we're supposed to do
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: something else today and that didn't happen. But for the
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: most part, I do not be just having my weight
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: glued on. I be in a bonnet most of the time,
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: and I don't be outside. So I know you're talking
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: about like that little light skin area. My shit was
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: fucked up because I stopped using a ghost Bawn glue
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: because they changed the formula. And this goes back again
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: to like these people trying to kill us. My shit
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: was fucking raw.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of our beautiful black women got raw
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: hairlines and this colored hairlines because of those wigs. And
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: that is an indicator to take a break and give
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: your scalp some rest from that chemical that's in the
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: glue and just being completely covered all the time. And
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: then once you continue to do that, your hairline receiveds
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: and then you are stuck with it. Stop doing that,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: So just stop doing that to your head. Your hairline
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: is beautiful. Just love it, love on it.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: So what about these foreheads though, because you know, I
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: do get to hide like a half an inch of mine,
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: wear a band, get a sour a bang, and then
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: when I wear a bang, I missed my forehead.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: I remember, I had to. You can't say I did
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: sew in with a bang.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god, I missed my forehead. So
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: it's just I don't know.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: I like what I like, and I can't necessarily say
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: I like braids.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, I feel like too much in my fucking face,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: be out it's just it.
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: Become a lot.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: So you hide under your hair a little bit, yeah,
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: I do. And I have to enter this forehead, yes
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: I do. Okay, so the whole forehead is out because
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: I don't got no little sleek, little baby edges. I
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: might have the girl I permed my edges once. I
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: put a Jerry curl on my edges one time and
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: them shit came out. But luckily I have very resilient hair,
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: at least the edges.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: My edges I got too thin spots. My shit came
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: to fuck back, and I've been rubbing bath and lathering
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: them little spots right there, just trying to get them
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: to grow back, because it is what it is though,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: fuck it, you know.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So yeah, trying to maintain the hair and go
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: to the gym.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you really like, I don't give a fuck,
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: I'll be in there with this shit loosening up and
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: all that. Well, I put a scarf or a hat,
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. Like you wear more men
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: leave out? Yeah, yeah, you wear more leave out a
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: lot of times. So I can see, like trying to
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: maintain that shit and like sweaty scalp.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: I don't sweat in my head that bad.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: And it's cool y'all because I love y'all. We family
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: my quick weaves. Think I gotta take it out before
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: I can't let easter. I can't let Easter catch me
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: like I started sweating. I could smell it. I'm like, oh,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: oh my god, and I'd be thinking like, no, I
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: could not lay next to nobody's son with my head.
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: And bitches do it though, women be definitely laying down
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: with that corn chip scalp.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: It was thank I got this.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: Man can't tell you nothing about that. He can't say, dibby,
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: you smell funny, you get offended, right, we'll.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Get my hair done. And then.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: Knowing, damn well, you're the first person that can smell
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: that shit like it's right above your nose.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: I know because I had this quick weave in for
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: about three weeks now and I've been doing a day
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: workouts range sweat shank.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, y'all, any suggestions on I mean, aside
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: from just going coming to the gym as you are with.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: That look, shit you can do. There is no alternative
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: for sweat. You can't stop your head from sweating.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Another thing, I've been sank. I've been stank, y'all. I stopped.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I told y'all, I stopped using like the odor with aluminum.
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, I've been stank, bit y'all.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: So I tried this new. I tried Donna Cararin aluminum
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: free deodor. I like it, but I definitely have to
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: travel with it in whites because after about a good
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: eight hours, if I don't go back home, I'm gonna
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: start getting twanky. But now I just tried this Tai
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: crystal mm hmm theodor and it's literally like a crystal bar.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: You gotta put it under water.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I've done that too. Yeah, and I use
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: Florida water. I used to do that too, so I'm
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: trying that now. So when I first started wearing natural deorderance,
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: I started with nothing, no deorderance. I started using no
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: deordering and I'm like, oh, hell no, bitch, because you're
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: whole grown ass man, especially when you go to the gym.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: So now, then the next step I went to just
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: using lemon and that really works raw, yes, but it's
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: too acidic and it will burn your skin after a while.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: So I had to stop that.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: Shit.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Did the crystals with the Florida water. Now I'm just
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: at the almond hammer.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: Did I not give you a tube of that before?
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Girl?
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, so I feel like it works. Okay, now, it's
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: not going to stop you from sweating.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Stop using aluminum. It's over but not sweating. But I
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: just feel like I'm supposed to sweat. You know, my
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: body are.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: Exactly so what we're doing when we use these deorderance
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: with all these chemicals in it, you are blocking the
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: pores under your own, which then can lead to things
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: like breast cancer. You're plogging up the lymph nodes and
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: stuff like that with with the with the you know.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: So that's why that's why I stopped. You know, I'm
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: gonna be alive and stink.
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: How about that?
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: That's how I feel when I be in the gym,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: I be looking mean, not just because I don't want
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: y'all to come talk to me because I don't want
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: to be bothered. It's because I don't want you to
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: smell me.
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: And I'm mad. I'm mad, I'm stink.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: You know, he'd be mad somebody else musty. I'd be pissed,
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: like you're so disrespectful. Why the funk would you be
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: that musty.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: In here, right, So that's what's happening. That's funny, man,
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: Somebody help.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get in shape. I'm just funky.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: My head staying.
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: He's trying to be healthy, that's all, you know what
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. So healthy, don't always be pretty like.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: You know it's I'm going through a very stinky transition.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: But your face looks slim always it looking slim. Good.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: It's starting to come off of me. I'm trying to
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: get the second chip. Like, for the life of me,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: this second chain go to go.
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: That's your next rant.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my that's my third and final rant. After
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: thirty something the collagen and our next starts to like
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: d window and this little piece start to hang a
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: little bit. That is the backing neck.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: I hate that shit so bad I do. I'll be
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: doing the exercises under my chin.
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: I got a little roller in the freeze, roller rolling it.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: None of that shit works. None of it works. And
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: so now if I'll get down to the wait I want,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: if it don't come off, which I doubt it will
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: because this has more to do with age, I think,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: what'd you think?
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: I mean?
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: Possibly my mom is in her seventies and she hate
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: that shit too. She's always doing this like I just
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: want this thing off, and it does start to even more.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: But it's also like weight loss, weight gain, weight loss,
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: weight gain, also the elasticity.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: So I don't know.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: You know, my the lady who I go to for
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: my colonics, she's fifty something, beautiful skin.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: I asked her the other that said, you use well
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: you get boltok. She was like no, never.
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: She basically like slathered her face every day twice a
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: day in castor oil. She just put it on real
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: thick and then like rub it in, real good rub
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: it in. So she does like a whole little maintenance
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: with cast oil. So I started doing that because I mean, boltops,
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: I feel like that shit, like this fucking line in
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: my forehead.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: I'm sick of it, you know. And my mom she
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: has this thing right here just like I do, like
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: the little bulldog, little fat in between the eyebrows.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: So when I squinched my face up, it's like my
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: mom's now is like hanging there. So I'm like, oh
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: my god, when I get old, like that's how my
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: shit canna look.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: So what I'm gonna do about that.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: I'm about to go get this shit. Snitch.
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, let's go to Turkey, bitch, Let's go to Turkey.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: We don't get the whole comprehensive healthcare shit where they
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: checked all their things and you see all the specialists
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: all in one day.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: It used to be four hundred dollars.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Now it's nine hundred because more Americans has been coming
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: to going to Turkey for it. We need to go
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: ahead and do that this year. Yes, and we do
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: like packages with hotels and flight, so we need to
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: go ahead and do that because I'm sick of this
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: little piece of shit about the monmit.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: So yeah, so when we come back from the break,
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: I want to rant about one more thing. Okay, just
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: one more thing right back, all right?
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: All right, So we're back, and.
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: I know you guys have seen these headlines, and I've
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: seen so many posts and so many different influencers online
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: talking about these fake bags, like from the post at
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: China that the Asian countries have put out basically disparaging
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: right the European nations in the bags, like Italy seeing
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: that all these bags are actually made in China. I
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: have always had the inkling that that's what's going on
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: because right now we.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: Are in a place where.
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: The real and the fake is being exposed, like literally,
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: So to me, like that whole situation is way bigger
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: than those handbags, right because what's the lie and what's
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: the truth? The lines are like so blurry right now.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: I've been thought, like you go in the store, like
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: who's to say like that, what is the real bag
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: and what is a fake bag? But the craziness that
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: I see from some people online like ah, yeah, y'all
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: bitches bags been fake Like it's like now they think
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: it's like even playing field or somehow everybody is like
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: on the same playing field.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing about these bags, it's the logo that
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: gives it status exactly. That's what it is. It's a
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: status symbol. It is not even about the bag. Most
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: of those Ermag's bags are ugly.
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, what is a lunchbox?
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Right, So let's be clear, they're not exactly the cutest
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: bag in the world. If you were walking past a
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: store and saw that bag in it without Irmaz symbol
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: on it, you wouldn't be like, Ooh, I love the
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: design of that bag. You're not. But because it is
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: Ermaz and because it was thirty eight thousand dollars for
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: this bag. It is a status symbol, and that's what
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: I think people are missing. It's about the status that
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: comes along with it, not necessarily the look.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: Of the bag or the well the price also, right,
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: So yeah.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I remember some guys pay thirty eight thousand dollars
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: for a bag, you know you coming like that.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: So I remember some months ago, white women were coming
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: out saying that they ordered these knockoff armaz bags and
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: they were comparing it to their real thirty eight thousand
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: dollars bags. And I mean the finishing on it, like
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: the locks, all that stuff was identical. So this is
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: before this time right now, right before like age and
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: now trying to confirm some things. Now, I've been to China.
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: I went to guang Zhao and in Hong Kong. In
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: Hong Kong, there is a designer handbag store damned on
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: every fucking corner. They're designer stores on every corner. And
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: when I say they have these vintage bags, new bags,
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: all that shit in there for resale prices, prices and
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: new prices for the same price, you'd probably see the
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: shit inside of a Louis Vuitton store, So I think
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: they are partially lying right about them making all of
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: these bags in China. There is a black market for
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: I remember when I came back from China, they took
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: my luggage.
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: I have no fake bags in there.
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: I had a bunch of weave in there, because that's
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: what the fuck I went to China for to find
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: some here vendors. So I didn't get my bags delivered
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: to my house until like the next day, and like
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: the TSA slip was in there, so they went through
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: my shit. So it's a real big thing about you know,
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: important and exporting like the counterfeit items. But in China,
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: they are selling legitimate Lui Tatan Italian made bags in
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: their country. So do not pay attention to all the propaganda,
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: right because it's no middle class in China, baby, And
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: they all walking around with thirty eight thousand dollars arms bags.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: I promise you, Okay, you either really rich are you
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: really poor. So what they're doing now I feel is
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: trying to destroy that market and maybe they're gonna then
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: insert themselves with the thirty thousand dollar bags. Mm hmm, okay,
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: So just be careful, you know, So.
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't. I don't think right now.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: I feel like sucker bag fuck a bag full right
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: now because it's.
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: Way nicer shit out here. Like my little cute little
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: bag I wore last.
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: Week to my homegirls baby shower, Like that bag cost
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: me forty dollars and she had a.
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: Little Gucci little bag.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: My bag is cuter, same little little bamboo handle, all
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: that shit. I paid thirty nine forty dollars for the bag.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: Her bag was two thousand dollars.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all about how you style yourself.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: I make the clothes look good. You got to make
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: the clothes look good. Clothes on make you you make
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: the clothes.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Right well, trying to make the clothes.
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: Everything China tie one, we don't make ship and thus
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: trying to bring back some of these industries. I want
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: to open up a fabric store. Joeanne Fabric just closed down.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: All the sewing girls and all the seamstresses in Charleston
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: are in a friends for good. They just closed the
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: one that's in the area I live in, which is
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, so like all all of sewing, like
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: my steam stresses, Like, I don't know what we're going
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: to do. I'm like Oh my god, this is a
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: fucking opportunity for a small business. Like I'm going to
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: order all this fabric from China because I have connects.
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: When I went to China, they have this big ass
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: places like a coliseum, and you can literally walk in
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: there and start any business you want to start. If
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: you want to sell kurlinized, you want to sell combs,
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: you want to sell weave, you want to sell fabrics,
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: you want to sell rugs, you want to sell the pakaba, Yeah,
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: you could do that too, right, they have everything. It's
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: called I think it's called Fashion World or something like
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: that big ass place in the middle of Goangzhao. You
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: can go in there and start whatever business. So yes,
• 56:11

• 56:33
  Speaker 3: they would have.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: Well, they started looking to make me some clothes.
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: I ain't trying to sow shit, I'm just trying to
• 56:39
