- 0:26Speaker 1: It's common in black women. I have fibroids removed over
- 0:30Speaker 1: the weekend, and I took a girl out pretty much.
- 0:36Speaker 1: I've been out the game. And I'm such not a homebody,
- 0:40Speaker 1: so this is also very much hard for me just
- 0:42Speaker 1: being in the house this much.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Sit your ass down.
- 0:47Speaker 1: I ain't got no choice. I barely can get up.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to take it easy. I've never had
- 0:53Speaker 2: fibro surgery, but I've definitely had a woman's surgery. And
- 0:57Speaker 2: that shit is no joke. Man. When they have to
- 1:00Speaker 2: cut you open.
- 1:01Speaker 1: I underestimated. Yeah. I underestimated this shit. I ain't going
- 1:05Speaker 1: to lie. I thought three days and I was going
- 1:08Speaker 1: to be back outside.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Wrong. No, if you have a baby, you're going to
- 1:13Speaker 2: be smashing before them six weeks. Yeah.
- 1:17Speaker 1: I don't know. This shit is humbling.
- 1:19Speaker 2: I'm glad I'm pregnant again.
- 1:21Speaker 1: When my mama had to pull my drawers up and
- 1:23Speaker 1: down for me this weekend, it's definitely humbling.
- 1:27Speaker 2: You remember we did that episode with, uh, we was
- 1:30Speaker 2: talking about, it was a white girl who had a
- 1:33Speaker 2: surgery coming up and she was talking about like how
- 1:35Speaker 2: now she needs a mate now more than ever because
- 1:39Speaker 2: she has like surgery coming up. And what I said,
- 1:42Speaker 2: this shit, even if you have somebody, you really can't
- 1:45Speaker 2: depend on men to do those things. Like, of course
- 1:48Speaker 2: you need somebody in the house with you for sure.
- 1:51Speaker 2: But mamas and sisters, they're going to come through. Yep.
- 1:55Speaker 1: My mama was here all weekend. She was so good.
- 1:59Speaker 1: I couldn't have done it without her. One of my
- 2:01Speaker 1: neighbors came and took my trash out today, so that
- 2:03Speaker 1: was good.
- 2:04Speaker 2: How nice is that? Yeah.
- 2:06Speaker 1: And then the Instacart lady put my groceries away from me.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Uh-uh. Yeah. Wow. Did you give her a tip?
- 2:14Speaker 1: I sure did. I sure did. I was like, thank you.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Thank you. Oh, that's nice. You need to make sure
- 2:24Speaker 2: she get a 10-star review. All right?
- 2:26Speaker 1: I definitely gave her a good tip.
- 2:28Speaker 2: All heroes have a cape.
- 2:32Speaker 1: What about your weekend?
- 2:34Speaker 2: Shit, my weekend was, you know, I just hung out
- 2:38Speaker 2: a little bit. Dinner. Date weekend, basically. You know, it's
- 2:43Speaker 2: always nice when niggas take their bitches for walks.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:50Speaker 2: I said I was going to stop saying nigga. I'm
- 2:52Speaker 2: going to try real hard. Real hard. You know, but.
- 2:55Speaker 1: You done said that for the past couple new years.
- 2:57Speaker 2: I know. But listen, fellas, you have to take your
- 2:59Speaker 2: bitch for a walk. Okay. If you don't take her
- 3:01Speaker 2: for a walk, somebody else going to take her for
- 3:03Speaker 2: a walk. Just like dogs.
- 3:05Speaker 1: In other terms, what she means is take your girl
- 3:08Speaker 1: on dates.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Yes. Take her on dates. Even if it's to the park. Literally.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Take her for a walk. Bike ride. Something. Yes. I
- 3:16Speaker 2: got outside a little bit. That's about it. Good weekend.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Good weekend. It's cold outside. I don't know what the
- 3:22Speaker 2: hell is happening. You ain't missing nothing. It's cold outside.
- 3:25Speaker 2: It's like Charleston is never this cold. In March. Absolutely not.
- 3:31Speaker 2: And tomorrow, like the lowest 39 or 36, I think.
- 3:35Speaker 2: That is freezing.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Is it really that cold outside right now?
- 3:38Speaker 2: Right now, it's probably like 50. But this is not
- 3:42Speaker 2: normal weather. This shit is different.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nice. It's getting warmer.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I heard it was snowing in L.A. or some shit.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Get your house in order, folks.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Yes. Look, let's jump right into stupid internet news, okay?
- 3:56Speaker 2: Because y'all see what's going on with these banks, okay?
- 4:01Speaker 2: Like Tam said, get your house in order. This is
- 4:03Speaker 2: a small sample size of what we could see on
- 4:07Speaker 2: a larger scale because, you know, they want to get
- 4:10Speaker 2: us on a central banking system, right? But they got
- 4:14Speaker 2: to make the U.S. dollar fail first. So this Silicon
- 4:17Speaker 2: Valley Bank in California, they went under, right? Obama just,
- 4:22Speaker 2: excuse me, what the hell? So now.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Now he like, now how I get it?
- 4:29Speaker 2: Damn! Shit, same people. So Biden, Biden basically has bailed
- 4:36Speaker 2: them out. And it's not like a bailout like from
- 4:38Speaker 2: 2008 where taxpayers paid for it. This one is going
- 4:43Speaker 2: to be paid for by the bank fees, essentially like
- 4:46Speaker 2: the insurance that they have. And he's also calling for
- 4:50Speaker 2: the top executives to be fired from the bank. Apparently,
- 4:55Speaker 2: the CEO actually sold all his stock the day before
- 4:59Speaker 2: this actually happened.
- 5:02Speaker 1: To protect his own interests.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Exactly. So I wonder, you know, he knew what the
- 5:07Speaker 2: hell was going to happen. And this bank in particular,
- 5:09Speaker 2: they said that the median deposit is like $ 250, 000. So.
- 5:16Speaker 2: At this bank, the median account balance is like $ 250, 000.
- 5:20Speaker 2: These are rich people's money y'all playing with. And these
- 5:25Speaker 2: people were pulling up at the bank for their money,
- 5:28Speaker 2: and they got the police called on them.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Right. They can't get it.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Because isn't it like only a certain amount of your money, like,
- 5:36Speaker 1: insured that you can get? Through the FDIC.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Yeah, through the FDIC, it's $ 250, 000. After that, that's it.
- 5:46Speaker 2: So that's why now the government is stepping in.
- 5:49Speaker 1: It makes me think of my great grandmother because of
- 5:52Speaker 1: the stock market crash in the 1930s. She put all
- 5:56Speaker 1: her money in coffee cans and buried it in the backyard.
- 5:59Speaker 1: She said she would never put her money back in
- 6:01Speaker 1: the bank because of that.
- 6:04Speaker 2: That's not smart either. Like tomorrow, the way it's looking
- 6:08Speaker 2: like we will be wiping our asses with $ 100 bills
- 6:11Speaker 2: in a minute.
- 6:14Speaker 1: You need gold.
- 6:15Speaker 2: You have to make actual investments in tangible assets, land, houses.
- 6:23Speaker 2: I wouldn't say stock market for real, even though I
- 6:25Speaker 2: fuck with the stock market, because that's the same as
- 6:28Speaker 2: a bank.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Yeah, it could crash too.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Definitely natural resources. Those things aren't going anywhere, but they're
- 6:38Speaker 2: definitely trying to get us on a cryptocurrency type platform.
- 6:44Speaker 2: And my thing, my only problem with that is like,
- 6:47Speaker 2: what's the conversion going to be? You know, what's the
- 6:50Speaker 2: conversion from my US dollar to whatever crypto going to be?
- 6:53Speaker 2: Is it going to be like, will I lose half
- 6:55Speaker 2: of my money?
- 6:57Speaker 1: So you might get me. I thought crypto went under.
- 7:01Speaker 2: It is going under. All of this shit is going under.
- 7:04Speaker 2: But I think it's, they're trying to, I think the
- 7:06Speaker 2: government is trying to get more regulation done around cryptocurrency
- 7:10Speaker 2: because if they get everybody on crypto, like if everybody
- 7:14Speaker 2: had to do Bitcoin instead of the U.S. dollar, whatever,
- 7:17Speaker 2: you know, country currency, there's more control involved with that.
- 7:21Speaker 2: They can turn your finances off when they want to
- 7:23Speaker 2: because it's all digitized. But it's essentially still the same
- 7:28Speaker 2: thing even with fiat currency as far as I'm concerned.
- 7:32Speaker 1: What I don't understand is how they can do that
- 7:34Speaker 1: but we still voting in an election booth with a
- 7:36Speaker 1: goddamn piece of paper. But okay.
- 7:42Speaker 2: But really, we don't, though. It's kind of like, some
- 7:44Speaker 2: of those machines are electronic. What is it, Dominion? Not
- 7:47Speaker 2: all of them. But a lot of places have electronic ones,
- 7:51Speaker 2: which I think can have a little bit more manipulation. Yes,
- 7:54Speaker 2: people can throw pieces of paper out, but I can
- 7:56Speaker 2: literally program your shit to change. It's a little bit different.
- 8:00Speaker 2: So I would prefer to keep the paper out.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Let me tell you, as I was sitting around, hurting,
- 8:07Speaker 1: I was scrolling my social media and I saw everybody
- 8:10Speaker 1: upset that Angela Bassett was snubbed by the Academy for
- 8:15Speaker 1: the Oscar that she was nominated for for Best Supporting
- 8:19Speaker 1: Actress in Wakanda Forever. And she, I mean, if we're
- 8:23Speaker 1: going to be honest about it, she been should have
- 8:25Speaker 1: got an Oscar.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 8:26Speaker 1: If we relying on white people to give us our awards.
- 8:30Speaker 1: But she definitely should have been got a.
- 8:37Speaker 1: But anyway, Angela Bassett didn't get the Oscar and niggas
- 8:40Speaker 1: was mad as fuck. I was upset too.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 8:44Speaker 1: But I just feel like, why do we care what
- 8:48Speaker 1: white people think? Why do we need these awards that
- 8:52Speaker 1: was never meant for us to validate us in our careers?
- 8:56Speaker 1: Because she should have been had that. Everybody knows it.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Jamie knows it.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Yeah, and so Jamie Lee Curtis, she won Best Supporting
- 9:07Speaker 2: Actress for Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. It's an alright movie.
- 9:13Speaker 2: It's kind of on the esoteric side of things, but
- 9:17Speaker 2: good movie nonetheless. But come on, Wakanda Forever? All of
- 9:21Speaker 2: these great movies, she's one of the best actresses out here,
- 9:24Speaker 2: and this is only even her second time even being nominated.
- 9:27Speaker 2: The first time she was nominated was for Best Actress
- 9:30Speaker 2: in 2004. So here it is now, 20 years later,
- 9:35Speaker 2: and she's finally nominated again, only not to get the
- 9:39Speaker 2: award again.
- 9:40Speaker 1: I hate that for her.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Me too. I hate that because, you know, to us,
- 9:46Speaker 2: she's one of the best. Who's better than Angela Bassett?
- 9:50Speaker 2: Let's be clear. Who? I don't know anybody better than
- 9:55Speaker 2: Angela Bassett.
- 9:55Speaker 1: And if I hear you had my kids around that
- 9:58Speaker 1: tramp bitch, you were going to regret it for the
- 10:01Speaker 1: rest of your life.
- 10:03Speaker 2: Get your shit! Get your shit! And get out! Yo,
- 10:12Speaker 2: the way she was talking, that's how black women be
- 10:14Speaker 2: for real. You be talking yourself into a rut, okay? Right.
- 10:21Speaker 1: We love you. Angela Bassett, if you're a fan of
- 10:24Speaker 1: We Talk Back, we love you. Girl, I wish. You
- 10:27Speaker 1: have been an Oscar award winner in our hearts since
- 10:31Speaker 1: the beginning of time.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Right. Still waking up to shit this morning. So speaking
- 10:36Speaker 2: of the Oscars, the internet, again, the internets are in
- 10:40Speaker 2: an uproar. Comparing Ciara to Savannah James. today because of
- 10:49Speaker 2: her choice of attire for the awards. She wore a
- 10:54Speaker 2: barely there naked dress straight out the runway.
- 10:56Speaker 1: That was the after party.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the after party. And several women were
- 11:00Speaker 2: dressed the same way. But for whatever reason in our community,
- 11:03Speaker 2: it's almost like Ciara isn't worthy of the life she
- 11:08Speaker 2: has to some people. It's like she's just this super
- 11:11Speaker 2: chicken head that only deserves a man-like future. you know,
- 11:17Speaker 2: like stay in your place, chicken head, baby mama. I
- 11:19Speaker 2: don't know what the energy is. She is a married woman.
- 11:23Speaker 2: She does have children. She's still fine as hell. I'm confused.
- 11:27Speaker 2: And this is entertainment.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Why do people care so much what other people got on?
- 11:32Speaker 1: If her husband was happily standing next to her, what
- 11:35Speaker 1: does it matter to y'all? I'm so confused.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Exactly. I don't get the hate and disdain nowadays for Ciara.
- 11:44Speaker 2: I don't get it.
- 11:45Speaker 1: It be people who ain't got the first husband or
- 11:47Speaker 1: wife or the potential for one that's got the most
- 11:52Speaker 1: horrible things to say about Ciara. Like, relax. Mind your business. Right.
- 11:56Speaker 2: It's not really mind your business per se, but it's
- 11:59Speaker 2: almost like, okay, these people are in entertainment. I talk
- 12:03Speaker 2: more shit about the bitches I see at the club
- 12:05Speaker 2: dressed like that because let's be clear. People be outside
- 12:09Speaker 2: looking like that, like they're a celebrity.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Soon as I heal, I got that same dress Sierra got,
- 12:16Speaker 1: and I'm going to put it on.
- 12:19Speaker 2: That dress is going to look a little bit different
- 12:21Speaker 2: on you, bitch. A little bit. Oh, it hurts so
- 12:25Speaker 2: bad to laugh. That dress is going to look a
- 12:28Speaker 2: little bit different. I don't think you should.
- 12:36Speaker 1: Shame.
- 12:37Speaker 2: But leave Sierra alone. Let that lady do what she
- 12:39Speaker 2: want to do now. One thing, you know, I don't
- 12:42Speaker 2: have a problem, like, just, I don't know. I guess
- 12:48Speaker 2: if I were married and had kids, I wouldn't wear that.
- 12:51Speaker 2: I wouldn't, personally. Yeah. I wouldn't, personally. But I'm not
- 12:55Speaker 2: here to judge her. She probably felt empowered to wear that.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Right. Honestly, I wouldn't wear that now just because of
- 13:03Speaker 1: my body type. She's slim, though. I feel like she
- 13:06Speaker 1: can get away with it and it'd be okay. I'd
- 13:08Speaker 1: wear that as a beach cover-up without a problem.
- 13:12Speaker 2: What thong they the suit underneath but there were several
- 13:15Speaker 2: several several you know she was only black woman dressed
- 13:18Speaker 2: like that but there were there were a lot of
- 13:21Speaker 2: model uh uh victoria's secret models a lot of different
- 13:25Speaker 2: people it's almost like that was like the theme for
- 13:28Speaker 2: the after party as far as i'm concerned because i
- 13:32Speaker 2: i literally just wanted to make sure like is Is
- 13:34Speaker 2: Ciara the only naked bitch at the whole thing?
- 13:37Speaker 1: But, I mean, it's been dresses like that at these
- 13:39Speaker 1: awards for years and years and years.
- 13:41Speaker 2: But it's just like when a black woman does anything,
- 13:44Speaker 2: it's a problem.
- 13:46Speaker 1: It's a problem. And then trying to compare Savannah James
- 13:49Speaker 1: and hers, like, why did y'all pick this one woman
- 13:52Speaker 1: against this one woman?
- 13:53Speaker 2: Right.
- 13:53Speaker 1: It was a lot of women with fully clothed dresses
- 13:56Speaker 1: and a lot of women who were naked in their dresses. So,
- 13:59Speaker 1: I mean, what's the difference? Mind your business.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Right. I guess it's just like the athlete husband thing.
- 14:03Speaker 2: You know, that's probably what it boils down to.
- 14:07Speaker 1: They don't even play the same sport. Right. If y'all
- 14:09Speaker 1: want to be that particular, find somebody in the NFL. Yeah.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Just leave it alone altogether. Right. Moving right along. Blac
- 14:18Speaker 1: Chyna took to the Internet this past weekend, and she
- 14:25Speaker 1: had a message for everyone that she was getting her
- 14:28Speaker 1: butt reduced to a normal size. And her breasts reduced
- 14:32Speaker 1: to a normal size. And she also said that her
- 14:36Speaker 1: face fillers would be next to be removed. So I
- 14:41Speaker 1: think the era of over-exaggerated asses and titties and faces
- 14:46Speaker 1: kind of dwindling down. What you think?
- 14:49Speaker 2: I'm happy for it. So we're going to have an
- 14:51Speaker 2: episode soon where we actually talk about body dysmorphia and
- 14:55Speaker 2: maybe some of the mental health shit that surrounds that.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Maybe she's been going through therapy. Maybe she is now
- 15:04Speaker 2: more accepting of who she really is. Maybe she has
- 15:12Speaker 2: this stuff caused life threatening issues, you know. Yeah. Especially
- 15:17Speaker 2: with the butt.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Maybe it's just not, no longer trending.
- 15:19Speaker 2: I don't know. I remember, um, when Cardi B first
- 15:24Speaker 2: came out, well, not first came out once she started like,
- 15:27Speaker 2: cause you know, to me, Cardi B is one of
- 15:28Speaker 2: the best dress in the industry when she got to
- 15:30Speaker 2: hit the runway. I mean like hit a red carpet
- 15:32Speaker 2: or something. Yeah.
- 15:32Speaker 1: She'd be fly as fuck.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Period. And I remember her saying like, you know, she
- 15:36Speaker 2: wished she didn't get the butt shots because now she
- 15:39Speaker 2: wants to fit in those nice dresses and stuff like that.
- 15:42Speaker 2: And she can't always fit into things. So, I don't know.
- 15:47Speaker 2: I don't know. If your body is naturally like that,
- 15:52Speaker 2: then it's... But to add all of that shit, it
- 15:55Speaker 2: does look crazy. And I feel like doctors should be
- 15:58Speaker 2: held responsible for some of the botched shit you see
- 16:02Speaker 2: on the internet.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Because it don't be matching oftentimes. Right. It look crazy.
- 16:06Speaker 2: I would suggest against it. I have a friend who's
- 16:09Speaker 2: a cosmetic surgeon, and she does a lot of reconstruction,
- 16:13Speaker 2: like people after breast cancer, stuff like that. But she
- 16:15Speaker 2: doesn't do BBLs.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 16:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:19Speaker 1: And BBLs is really dangerous from what I understand. Putting
- 16:23Speaker 1: that fat in your butt. Yeah. Like they can hit
- 16:27Speaker 1: like a major artery and it could go bad.
- 16:29Speaker 2: Well, I had my little cousin who actually got a BBL.
- 16:33Speaker 2: And her body, the butt rejected the fat transfer. Yeah.
- 16:39Speaker 2: And so she ended up with all type of infections
- 16:41Speaker 2: and shit. Had a hole in the top of her ass.
- 16:44Speaker 2: They had to pack with gauze. and all type of shit.
- 16:51Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot to go through. You know what?
- 16:53Speaker 1: I think social media, when we have that episode, I
- 16:56Speaker 1: think we need to go into how social media plays
- 16:59Speaker 1: a huge role in people's body image.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Absolutely. Absolutely. So would you say the Kardashians kind of
- 17:07Speaker 2: started this thing? What we see now? People been getting surgery.
- 17:11Speaker 2: I know people who have had surgery 15 years ago,
- 17:14Speaker 2: but it ramped up.
- 17:16Speaker 1: I can't say they started it, but I think their
- 17:25Speaker 1: huge platform made it seem very socially okay to do.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, because I'm trying to figure out even the teeth.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Regular people wasn't getting the teeth done and all that
- 17:39Speaker 2: shit 10 years ago.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Well, they made it so affordable now. You can fly
- 17:45Speaker 1: out the Somewhere and get you a new set of teeth.
- 17:49Speaker 2: A 32-pack.
- 17:50Speaker 1: And a dinner for $ 600.
- 17:52Speaker 2: I don't want no $ 600 teeth. And then when you
- 17:58Speaker 2: get back to the U.S., ain't no dentist going to
- 18:00Speaker 2: fuck with them when they mess up. Just get your
- 18:05Speaker 2: money up and get the shit at home so you
- 18:07Speaker 2: can get the best care.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Get the right ones because... Some of the cheese, I
- 18:11Speaker 1: don't even think they like separate. I think it's just
- 18:13Speaker 1: one long piece they put in your mouth.
- 18:16Speaker 2: A lot of y'all look like y'all bite. Okay. I'm scared.
- 18:21Speaker 1: I hate that shit.
- 18:24Speaker 2: I'm scared.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:26Speaker 2: I don't know. Love yourself. God damn it. Shit. I
- 18:29Speaker 2: know it's hard sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. It's, you know, everybody
- 18:34Speaker 2: has like things they would like to fix. Like, bitch,
- 18:36Speaker 2: I'm definitely going to get me some lipo. I've been
- 18:37Speaker 2: saying that shit for years. I want my bra fat gone.
- 18:41Speaker 2: And I feel like no matter how much shit I
- 18:43Speaker 2: do in the gym, it's just not going anywhere.
- 18:47Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:48Speaker 2: So I definitely want some light pull on my back.
- 18:50Speaker 2: But other than that, I don't want nobody fucking my
- 18:52Speaker 2: shape up.
- 18:53Speaker 1: I want my double chin gone. I want the second
- 18:58Speaker 1: one gone. But I know it's probably like if I
- 19:02Speaker 1: just lost maybe like 20 pounds, it'll go.
- 19:05Speaker 2: That's really what it boils down to. Shit.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:08Speaker 2: You got all these bitches taking this.
- 19:13Speaker 2: We go V and O's and peak this diabetic shot
- 19:18Speaker 2: now for rapid.
- 19:20Speaker 1: I'm not doing that.
- 19:21Speaker 2: Yeah. I have some friends that are doing it and I,
- 19:24Speaker 2: and I did the research. Right. And I advised against it. No,
- 19:28Speaker 2: I'm not a licensed physician, but that shit causes thyroid cancer.
- 19:40Speaker 2: What else did I say? It was a lot of
- 19:41Speaker 2: different side effects. You know what I'm saying? Like, no,
- 19:44Speaker 2: you may not be affected, but it's not worth it.
- 19:46Speaker 2: To me, it's not. Anyway, do what y'all want to do.
- 19:50Speaker 2: Moving along. This month, March, is Women's History Month. So
- 19:59Speaker 2: what we would like to do today is talk about
- 20:03Speaker 2: what a woman is exactly for the month of March.
- 20:07Speaker 1: Let's get into it.
- 20:12Speaker 2: All right, y'all, so listen. It is National Women's History Month,
- 20:18Speaker 2: March 1st through March 31st. And, you know, with it being,
- 20:24Speaker 2: you know, this national holiday that actually was invented, I
- 20:28Speaker 2: think I read it was 1970-something or 1960-something is when
- 20:34Speaker 2: different states start adopting just to try to, um, um,
- 20:40Speaker 2: you know, showcase the women who have contributed to American history,
- 20:43Speaker 2: essentially women.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Right.
- 20:45Speaker 2: So with this being a national holiday, it kind of
- 20:48Speaker 2: gets me in the mind of, you know, in this day, 2023,
- 20:55Speaker 2: what is a woman is an actual question.
- 21:00Speaker 1: People ask, um, Which is crazy because I thought I
- 21:03Speaker 1: knew I had to Google it for this episode. I
- 21:06Speaker 1: wasn't sure, bitch. All right, so I Googled it and
- 21:10Speaker 1: it had two separate definitions.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Yo, I can't.
- 21:13Speaker 1: So it said a biological definition of a woman is
- 21:19Speaker 1: when sperm fertilizes an egg, it's X or Y chromosomes
- 21:23Speaker 1: combined with the X chromosome of the egg. A person
- 21:27Speaker 1: with XX chromosomes is... usually has a female sex and
- 21:31Speaker 1: reproductive organs and is therefore usually assigned biologically female. You
- 21:37Speaker 1: see how they done? Biologically.
- 21:39Speaker 2: Yeah. So, you know, this could be a joke. Like,
- 21:43Speaker 2: men could possibly just be a broken ex.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Yes.
- 21:48Speaker 2: So is everybody woman? I know there has been things
- 21:51Speaker 2: in the past where people say, like, everybody is born.
- 21:53Speaker 1: Start out woman.
- 21:54Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the man... So who knows? The phallus goes.
- 21:57Speaker 1: So basically, maybe being a man is a deformity.
- 21:59Speaker 2: Of a woman? Yo.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Jokes.
- 22:03Speaker 2: They don't want to hear that shit. Don't kill me, guys.
- 22:06Speaker 2: These are all jokes. I was just arguing with somebody
- 22:08Speaker 2: online about how women used to, like... As, you know,
- 22:12Speaker 2: we evolved, but I believe it started female. Like, there
- 22:16Speaker 2: had to be a woman, right? Because men cannot, you cannot, like,
- 22:20Speaker 2: procreate with a sock. Okay? So, parthiogenesis is a process
- 22:27Speaker 2: of a female organism reproducing by itself.
- 22:31Speaker 1: Like a seahorse.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Yes.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Like female seahorses.
- 22:34Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. They still do it. Yeah. Different animals in the wild.
- 22:37Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy? Yeah.
- 22:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 22:40Speaker 2: But I believe women did it at one point.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Y'all better hope we don't learn how to do that
- 22:44Speaker 1: shit again.
- 22:45Speaker 2: Look, man, women, like, men aren't being born. I looked
- 22:48Speaker 2: at some data, and there's a lot of women being born, like,
- 22:52Speaker 2: this last decade.
- 22:54Speaker 1: But, you know, I feel like women have always outnumbered men. Mm-hmm. Crazy.
- 22:58Speaker 1: It also said that a female human being, a person
- 23:01Speaker 1: assigned a female sex at birth, or a person who
- 23:04Speaker 1: identifies herself as a woman.
- 23:07Speaker 2: That's a female.
- 23:08Speaker 1: That is a woman. But if you look up man.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Clear cut dry, huh?
- 23:14Speaker 1: Adult male human being.
- 23:16Speaker 2: So you would have to, one would have to try
- 23:20Speaker 2: and figure out why is it that it seems like
- 23:22Speaker 2: there is an attack on the Y? Excuse me, on
- 23:26Speaker 2: the X. Why is there an attack on women? Why
- 23:30Speaker 2: is it like a clear cut definition for man? Because
- 23:33Speaker 2: I've said this before. It's almost like this is the
- 23:38Speaker 2: ultimate form of patriarchy. When a man can say, bitch,
- 23:43Speaker 2: I'm you because I feel like it.
- 23:45Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 23:46Speaker 2: And people don't see this as patriarchy, but it is
- 23:49Speaker 2: to me.
- 23:49Speaker 1: Because, you know, the men who were born female, they
- 23:55Speaker 1: don't be pushing their gender.
- 23:57Speaker 2: Yes, you don't even hear from them. No. Where are y'all?
- 23:59Speaker 1: All right, so also, I Googled one other word.
- 24:04Speaker 2: What, sis?
- 24:05Speaker 1: Hey, sis. Gender identity.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 24:10Speaker 1: So gender identity is a person's innate sense of their gender,
- 24:14Speaker 1: chiefly used in contexts where it is contrasted with the
- 24:18Speaker 1: sex registered for them at birth.
- 24:22Speaker 2: But now you have a judicial system which legalizes people
- 24:27Speaker 2: changing their sex. Can they put it now on their
- 24:30Speaker 2: birth certificates? Can they change a birth certificate? Can they
- 24:33Speaker 2: change a driver's license? Or what's showing up on these
- 24:35Speaker 2: official documents? Is it what you were at birth? Because
- 24:39Speaker 2: now you're going to have to ask people, what chromosome
- 24:41Speaker 2: are you?
- 24:42Speaker 1: Or what were you on your birth certificate?
- 24:45Speaker 2: Right. And, you know, a lot of.
- 24:46Speaker 1: When you were born.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of trans people feel like they don't
- 24:49Speaker 2: have to disclose that they're trans. Like, that's the whole thing.
- 24:54Speaker 2: Somebody seeing you physically and thinking that you're a woman.
- 24:59Speaker 2: That's what they go for. You ever seen that video
- 25:03Speaker 2: on Instagram? It was a Hispanic guy. and maybe the
- 25:06Speaker 2: lady was in the car Hispanic too, but it looked
- 25:07Speaker 2: like a white woman or man, right?
- 25:12Speaker 1: He was arguing.
- 25:13Speaker 2: He was, listen, the guy, the woman in the car
- 25:16Speaker 2: was arguing with a Hispanic man outside the car. And
- 25:18Speaker 2: she was like, well, what do I look like to you?
- 25:20Speaker 2: And she turns the camera on herself and transsexual. I don't,
- 25:24Speaker 2: they don't like the word transsexual, right?
- 25:26Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know. I can't really, I wish
- 25:28Speaker 1: we had like a trans person on with us who
- 25:31Speaker 1: could just talk.
- 25:32Speaker 2: We need a hand pamphlet or a booklet. We all
- 25:35Speaker 2: do that shit. To make sure we, you know.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Yeah, but listen, nothing we say here is meant to
- 25:40Speaker 1: be offensive. It's meant to be funny. That's it.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Not even funny. We're trying to understand.
- 25:45Speaker 1: Yeah, but also, I want to tell jokes.
- 25:47Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Yeah, it need to be funny, too. I make light
- 25:52Speaker 1: of everything, though, so don't take it personal.
- 25:54Speaker 2: Right, so the guy was like, you look like a man.
- 25:57Speaker 2: And she was so upset.
- 25:59Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 25:59Speaker 2: Because they want us to see them in the way
- 26:02Speaker 2: that they see themselves.
- 26:04Speaker 1: And that's fair, right?
- 26:06Speaker 2: No, it's not fair because I'm not going to be
- 26:08Speaker 2: delusional with you. Because you, maybe you don't have enough
- 26:11Speaker 2: money to actually look like a woman in the way
- 26:14Speaker 2: you want to. You're six foot and you're walking in
- 26:16Speaker 2: and look like a man to me.
- 26:18Speaker 1: But it's fair to want people to see you as
- 26:21Speaker 1: you see yourself is what I'm saying.
- 26:23Speaker 2: Not in this case, Tammy. Do you see what I'm saying?
- 26:25Speaker 1: No, I get what you're saying. You physically present as
- 26:31Speaker 1: a man dressed as a woman. Right. And then you're
- 26:33Speaker 1: upset with people who don't see you as a woman.
- 26:36Speaker 2: Exactly. How am I now being disrespectful to you because
- 26:41Speaker 2: I can't trick my mind to see what you see?
- 26:43Speaker 2: I told you once before, my homegirl, she's a chiropractor, right?
- 26:47Speaker 2: She has a client who is.
- 26:52Speaker 2: A woman, born a woman, XX. She presents as a woman, right?
- 26:58Speaker 2: She's in a relationship with a trans woman, white trans woman,
- 27:05Speaker 2: which is a man, right?
- 27:10Speaker 1: A woman who's not a man.
- 27:11Speaker 2: Genetically a man. A trans woman is genetically a man, right?
- 27:15Speaker 2: But she wants to be addressed as sir, him, he, right? Right?
- 27:22Speaker 2: but she doesn't dress up like a man. She presents
- 27:25Speaker 2: as a woman. But I, in my mind, have to
- 27:29Speaker 2: go by your pronouns, but you look like a woman
- 27:33Speaker 2: and you present like a woman. It's not like she's
- 27:34Speaker 2: presenting like a man to where I can, you know,
- 27:37Speaker 2: my mind, it might click in my mind to make
- 27:40Speaker 2: sure I call him sir and stuff, call her sir.
- 27:43Speaker 2: It's like, ah.
- 27:45Speaker 1: It is hard.
- 27:46Speaker 2: It is.
- 27:46Speaker 1: And it's an adjustment that, it's a new adjustment that
- 27:50Speaker 1: I feel like But, I mean, call people what they
- 27:53Speaker 1: want to be called, right?
- 27:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I don't have a lot of those
- 27:56Speaker 2: people in my life. And if I were to run
- 27:57Speaker 2: into somebody and they let you know what it is,
- 28:01Speaker 2: of course I'm going to do my due diligence to
- 28:02Speaker 2: make sure I'm being respectful to them. But the thing is,
- 28:06Speaker 2: I believe, like, just publicly, online, the different conversations I see,
- 28:10Speaker 2: it gets to be disrespectful to actual women.
- 28:13Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Just don't be angry with me if
- 28:16Speaker 1: you see me trying, you know. It's one thing to
- 28:18Speaker 1: be blatantly, like, just, like, Fuck how you feel. You
- 28:22Speaker 1: a nigga.
- 28:22Speaker 2: Right. You know?
- 28:24Speaker 1: It's one thing to be like this.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Like Boosie.
- 28:25Speaker 1: Right.
- 28:26Speaker 2: We ain't Boosie-ing.
- 28:27Speaker 1: Right. We ain't Boosie-ing.
- 28:28Speaker 2: Right.
- 28:29Speaker 1: But if I'm out here trying to get it right,
- 28:31Speaker 1: but I'm fucking up because it's new, don't be mean
- 28:35Speaker 1: to me about it. That's not fair.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 28:37Speaker 1: I'm not being mean to you about your shit. So,
- 28:39Speaker 1: I get what you're saying.
- 28:41Speaker 2: And as an actual woman, if I say, I don't
- 28:43Speaker 2: want to be called sis.
- 28:44Speaker 1: See, like an actual woman, they would be offended by
- 28:46Speaker 1: saying that.
- 28:46Speaker 2: That's their business. Yeah. As an actual woman... I don't
- 28:50Speaker 2: want to be called sis. So at what point do
- 28:52Speaker 2: you respect my, my, um, my stance?
- 28:56Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't like bitches in my jeans. Tell my,
- 28:58Speaker 1: you my favorite auntie girl. Fuck you. I'm not your auntie.
- 29:03Speaker 2: Trans auntie. That's your mama sister. Not me, bitch. Listen,
- 29:09Speaker 2: I met this girl and her, uh, her Instagram was auntie.
- 29:12Speaker 2: I'm not going to say her whole shit, but it's,
- 29:14Speaker 2: it starts off like auntie such as such. I said, girl,
- 29:16Speaker 2: if you don't change your goddamn Instagram name, Like, imagine
- 29:20Speaker 2: your shit, Auntie Tam.
- 29:22Speaker 1: I don't play like that.
- 29:23Speaker 2: And you're in your 30s.
- 29:24Speaker 1: Only bitches who only, like, just turned 30 call theyself Auntie.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Once you're getting closer to 40, that is, like, offensive.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Who you talking to? Yeah. If I'm not, your Auntie
- 29:33Speaker 2: is offensive.
- 29:34Speaker 1: Right. Who you talking to?
- 29:35Speaker 2: Right.
- 29:35Speaker 1: I don't even like, my nieces call me that. Call
- 29:38Speaker 1: me Tammy, bitch, when we in public.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Exactly. Y'all can cuss and do what the fuck you
- 29:41Speaker 2: want because you're not my kid.
- 29:42Speaker 1: No, I don't let my nieces cuss and show off.
- 29:50Speaker 1: A little bit, but you're going to have to keep
- 29:51Speaker 1: it cute around me because you will respect me like
- 29:54Speaker 1: my sister.
- 29:55Speaker 2: Y'all be power trippin'. Black mamas and black aunties be
- 29:59Speaker 2: power tripping.
- 30:00Speaker 1: We not going to do that.
- 30:01Speaker 2: I was talking to my homegirl today and she was like, yeah,
- 30:04Speaker 2: the kids was mad because they had to go to
- 30:05Speaker 2: school and it's snowing. She was like, we live in
- 30:07Speaker 2: New Jersey. It snows here all the time type shit.
- 30:11Speaker 2: I said, but you don't remember not wanting to go
- 30:13Speaker 2: to school? It's like work. They need a break. Those
- 30:16Speaker 2: kids be tired. She was like, well, they just was
- 30:19Speaker 2: off on Monday. I'm like, okay, have you never wanted
- 30:22Speaker 2: five days off from work for free? Just because you
- 30:25Speaker 2: won it don't mean you get it.
- 30:27Speaker 1: So you need to learn how it is in real life.
- 30:29Speaker 2: As a grown person, stop acting like you don't remember
- 30:32Speaker 2: not wanting to go to school.
- 30:33Speaker 1: I remember not wanting and I remember also still having
- 30:36Speaker 1: to go.
- 30:37Speaker 2: Right. But they can still... I guess my thing is
- 30:40Speaker 2: that I'm not about to challenge my kid on some
- 30:44Speaker 2: shit that I did too. As a child. You know
- 30:48Speaker 2: what I'm saying?
- 30:49Speaker 1: Like complaining?
- 30:50Speaker 2: Yes.
- 30:51Speaker 1: No, shut the fuck up. shut the fuck.
- 30:56Speaker 2: Up and go to school that's the 11th commandment thou
- 30:59Speaker 2: should not complain let's back to back to women yeah
- 31:04Speaker 2: um i don't know i wish things were much simpler
- 31:10Speaker 2: like how they were you know.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Some things are offensive being born a biological woman like
- 31:16Speaker 1: given caitlin gender woman of the year last.
- 31:19Speaker 2: Year was aya It's hurtful. I don't think she got
- 31:23Speaker 2: woman of the year, but she did have like a
- 31:26Speaker 2: sit down with Michelle Obama last year.
- 31:29Speaker 1: During Women's History Month. Yeah. It's just kind of like,
- 31:33Speaker 1: I mean, I understand like things are changing, but what
- 31:36Speaker 1: about me? Can I be woman of something?
- 31:40Speaker 2: They're going to say y'all been women for all of
- 31:42Speaker 2: this time. Now let us. That's where we at.
- 31:51Speaker 1: It's crazy it's a lot of things that I just
- 31:53Speaker 1: don't understand like I don't understand trans women participating in
- 32:01Speaker 1: sports with biological women when we know biologically that trans
- 32:07Speaker 1: women would be stronger physically.
- 32:11Speaker 2: Than a woman but are they stronger than the men
- 32:15Speaker 2: that they're competing with so now they couldn't compete with
- 32:17Speaker 2: the men so you throwing with the women to beat
- 32:19Speaker 2: up on the women.
- 32:22Speaker 1: And win like fuck.
- 32:23Speaker 2: That is wild.
- 32:24Speaker 1: That's not fair. We all can sit and act like
- 32:29Speaker 1: this is normal, but it is not okay.
- 32:32Speaker 2: No, I think maybe they should have their own league
- 32:34Speaker 2: to compete. And then they would think that's disrespectful because
- 32:37Speaker 2: they identify as a woman. But genetically, a woman can't
- 32:41Speaker 2: compete with you.
- 32:42Speaker 1: Not physically, yeah. In sports, when it comes to wrestling
- 32:47Speaker 1: and These trans bitches is beating our ass. Watch it now.
- 32:57Speaker 2: It's not fair.
- 32:58Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I said it. It's not fair.
- 32:59Speaker 2: It's not fair. And again, we should be able to
- 33:02Speaker 2: talk about it.
- 33:03Speaker 1: And not be mad at us for saying what everybody's thinking.
- 33:08Speaker 1: Everybody's thinking it.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Okay. I said it.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Fuck it.
- 33:12Speaker 2: So because it is National Women's History Month, let's get
- 33:15Speaker 2: some history on exactly what that is. So as recently
- 33:19Speaker 2: as 1970s, women's history was virtually an unknown topic in
- 33:23Speaker 2: the K-12 curriculum or in general public consciousness. To address
- 33:29Speaker 2: this situation, the Education Task Force for Sonoma County, California
- 33:34Speaker 2: Commission on the Status of Women initiated a Women's History
- 33:37Speaker 2: Week celebration for 1978. So this is how long. Mm-hmm.
- 33:42Speaker 2: I feel like I've only heard about maybe, I don't know,
- 33:45Speaker 2: last five years or so that I actually heard about
- 33:48Speaker 2: Women's History Month.
- 33:50Speaker 1: Since we've been podcasting, that's when I've been hearing about it.
- 33:53Speaker 2: The day, March 8th, International Women's Day was chosen as
- 33:57Speaker 2: a focal point for the observance. So, Tammy, what is
- 34:01Speaker 2: a woman to you?
- 34:02Speaker 1: A woman to me is my mama and my grandmother. Okay.
- 34:09Speaker 1: I can speak to black women. I won't just say
- 34:11Speaker 1: a woman. I'll speak to a black woman. Unfortunately, I
- 34:14Speaker 1: hate to say strong black women because I hate the
- 34:18Speaker 1: term strong for a black woman. But I feel like
- 34:22Speaker 1: my mother and my grandmother had to be that. They
- 34:26Speaker 1: were resilient, loving, and hard at the same time. They
- 34:33Speaker 1: bled every month, and you knew it sometimes because they
- 34:36Speaker 1: were bitches during that time. I ain't going to lie.
- 34:40Speaker 1: A woman is birthing life to this earth. You know,
- 34:47Speaker 1: I think that's what a woman is. A woman is
- 34:49Speaker 1: a mother. A woman is a sister, an auntie. A
- 34:54Speaker 1: woman is you. A woman is me.
- 34:56Speaker 2: Right. A woman is who gave birth to you. Yeah.
- 35:01Speaker 2: You know, a lot of people, not to go back
- 35:04Speaker 2: to the same topic, but you would not exist if
- 35:06Speaker 2: it weren't for a woman.
- 35:07Speaker 1: Right.
- 35:08Speaker 2: Right. So to be dismissive of what an actual woman is,
- 35:12Speaker 2: it's kind of wild. So when I think about women,
- 35:17Speaker 2: I definitely think about myself. I think about my aunts,
- 35:20Speaker 2: my mother, the actual women in my life. Don't get
- 35:23Speaker 2: mad at the word actual. Again, I don't like the
- 35:28Speaker 2: strong black woman throat. I feel like it's not exclusive
- 35:32Speaker 2: to just black women, women throughout every culture. have had
- 35:37Speaker 2: times where they had to be super resilient. We're not
- 35:40Speaker 2: in those groups, so we may not see it.
- 35:41Speaker 1: But I don't hear other groups use that word to
- 35:45Speaker 1: describe the women of their culture.
- 35:47Speaker 2: And it's kind of like... A strong black woman. The
- 35:51Speaker 2: reason why I hate it is because... You know, this is...
- 35:54Speaker 2: It was an Indian guy on YouTube a while ago,
- 35:56Speaker 2: a video I listened to. And he was talking shit
- 35:59Speaker 2: about black women and how we like to say we
- 36:01Speaker 2: strong black women. And he was like, yeah, just because
- 36:04Speaker 2: you can have a bunch of kids... With no fathers
- 36:07Speaker 2: and struggle to take care of them and persevere doesn't
- 36:11Speaker 2: make you a strong black woman. So you put yourself
- 36:13Speaker 2: in a situation to have to struggle.
- 36:16Speaker 1: What does that make you then? It definitely makes you
- 36:18Speaker 1: a strong black woman.
- 36:18Speaker 2: Shut the fuck up.
- 36:20Speaker 1: It definitely makes you strong if you.
- 36:22Speaker 2: Had to persevere. And he was talking about how other
- 36:24Speaker 2: women from other groups, their husbands are wealthy, this and
- 36:28Speaker 2: the third. The people they choose to have children with
- 36:32Speaker 2: are not just leaving them with kids and stuff like that. So-
- 36:35Speaker 2: His whole stance was you put yourself in a position
- 36:38Speaker 2: to have to be strong.
- 36:40Speaker 1: Okay, and? And what the fuck you saying? Strong is strong.
- 36:45Speaker 1: I just don't want us to have to be strong.
- 36:48Speaker 1: I want us to live a soft life. I want
- 36:50Speaker 1: black women to reside in their feminine energy and not
- 36:55Speaker 1: have to.
- 36:55Speaker 2: Yeah, even if the soft life you're providing yourself.
- 36:57Speaker 1: And I think saying that, women are a strong black woman,
- 37:02Speaker 1: then other cultures view that. And then now when you're
- 37:05Speaker 1: in the hospital in pain, they be like, but you
- 37:08Speaker 1: a strong black woman.
- 37:08Speaker 2: But other black people do that to black people, black
- 37:11Speaker 2: women as well. You realize that, right?
- 37:12Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 37:13Speaker 2: It's not even just other groups of people. It's everybody
- 37:18Speaker 2: just does that to black women. We do it to
- 37:19Speaker 2: each other.
- 37:20Speaker 1: Yeah. But now you're in the hospital hurting and nobody
- 37:24Speaker 1: recognizes your pain because.
- 37:26Speaker 2: You're supposed to be so strong. I mean, because the
- 37:27Speaker 2: medical system was actually built off of us and how
- 37:29Speaker 2: much You can endure. Exactly. It's some bullshit. Which, we
- 37:33Speaker 2: be in pain. Yeah. But, yeah, so for me, yes.
- 37:39Speaker 2: An actual woman, you have to be able... Even if
- 37:42Speaker 2: something happened and you haven't procreated, right? There's a lot
- 37:46Speaker 2: of science going on right now. You can have a child.
- 37:49Speaker 2: So you have to have a womb to be a woman.
- 37:53Speaker 2: May it be functioning or not. If you don't have
- 37:56Speaker 2: a womb.
- 37:58Speaker 2: You know, to me and my definition of what a
- 38:01Speaker 2: woman is. You couldn't be a woman. And that's okay.
- 38:06Speaker 2: It's okay.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. It's fine, you know. How can we
- 38:10Speaker 1: celebrate Women's History Month if we talk back?
- 38:14Speaker 2: I guess it just, you know, comes right after Black
- 38:18Speaker 2: History Month where we celebrate the different baddies. We can
- 38:21Speaker 2: continue to celebrate awesome-ass women in the month of March.
- 38:28Speaker 1: Okay, so I have somebody that I would like to
- 38:31Speaker 1: celebrate for women's history. And I found this girl on
- 38:34Speaker 1: Lil Duval's page earlier. She is a pilot, a young pilot.
- 38:41Speaker 1: That's my bucket list. Her name is Shania Noel. And
- 38:45Speaker 1: her Instagram, y'all should follow her, is I-A-M-N-Y-A-N-O-E-L-L-E. I am
- 38:51Speaker 1: Naya Noel. And this is a young, young girl. And baby,
- 38:59Speaker 1: she is flying these big ass planes. Look at this girl.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Y'all can't, you can't see her, but y'all go look
- 39:05Speaker 1: at her Instagram page.
- 39:06Speaker 2: How old is she?
- 39:07Speaker 1: I can't tell. She got the baby's little face. She
- 39:11Speaker 1: looks very, very young. And she is a pilot. And
- 39:15Speaker 1: she just flew across country. And she is a beautiful
- 39:18Speaker 1: young black woman. And she is getting to it. And
- 39:20Speaker 1: I love to see it. And she started a little
- 39:23Speaker 1: group called Pretty Pink Pilots.
- 39:26Speaker 2: I love that I love that even getting into air
- 39:29Speaker 2: traffic control if you're under 30 years old because there's
- 39:32Speaker 2: an age limit to be in air traffic control so
- 39:37Speaker 2: I think you have to be younger than 30 so
- 39:40Speaker 2: if any of our listeners that is a job if
- 39:42Speaker 2: you are into you know working for somebody for the
- 39:44Speaker 2: rest of your damn life you're already going to do
- 39:46Speaker 2: it get that job because usually people will start that
- 39:49Speaker 2: and then they, that's what they, you know, retire from,
- 39:52Speaker 2: but there's an age limit. I feel like more black
- 39:54Speaker 2: people need to get into air traffic control. They make
- 39:57Speaker 2: a lot of money as well. And also into, um,
- 40:00Speaker 2: being pilots. Is there any.
- 40:02Speaker 1: Black person that's not exactly celebrated? Like not someone that's
- 40:07Speaker 1: a celebrity, a black woman that you are, any woman,
- 40:10Speaker 1: let me not say just black that you would like
- 40:12Speaker 1: to celebrate today.
- 40:15Speaker 2: Um, Not off the top of my head. I ain't
- 40:19Speaker 2: happen to see nobody flying a plane this morning.
- 40:21Speaker 1: Well, maybe not nobody. Maybe somebody that you know personally
- 40:25Speaker 1: that just, like, did something great that you just want
- 40:28Speaker 1: to celebrate.
- 40:31Speaker 2: You know, my best friend Priscilla. I'd like to celebrate her.
- 40:34Speaker 1: Okay.
- 40:34Speaker 2: Priscilla had two kids when we were in high school.
- 40:36Speaker 1: Okay.
- 40:37Speaker 2: And when I tell you, like, this is, like, a
- 40:40Speaker 2: lot of people's stories, and I kind of use her oftentimes, like,
- 40:46Speaker 2: over the years for people, when I hear them complaining
- 40:48Speaker 2: about certain shit, like Priscilla did it. I really be
- 40:50Speaker 2: feeling like that about her because the way she set
- 40:54Speaker 2: her life up, even with having little small kids is
- 40:58Speaker 2: a fucking amazing. So I don't want to call her
- 41:00Speaker 2: like the strong black woman, but she would be that. Yeah.
- 41:03Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? And actually her oldest child
- 41:05Speaker 2: is my little cousin. Essentially his, her dad is my
- 41:12Speaker 2: cousin and he's not the, like she really did it
- 41:14Speaker 2: by herself. out here I'm here for a lot of
- 41:18Speaker 2: black women so I want to celebrate my bestie so y'all.
- 41:20Speaker 1: If y'all know a woman that you love and you
- 41:24Speaker 1: see her doing her thing we challenge you to celebrate
- 41:27Speaker 1: her send her a lunch cash app or send her
- 41:31Speaker 1: just coffee money right some good words of encouragement just

- 42:05Speaker 1: watching this episode Celebrate your sisters outside. Whatever gender your
- 42:11Speaker 1: sisters is, celebrate them. I'm here for that.
- 42:16Speaker 2: So when we come back from break, I do have
- 42:18Speaker 2: a dumb bitch story. Oh, okay.
- 42:19Speaker 1: I can't wait to get into it.
- 42:21Speaker 2: All right. We'll be right back. Dumb bitch story. You
- 42:25Speaker 2: are so dumb.
- 42:26Speaker 1: Because we've all been a dumb bitch at least once
- 42:29Speaker 1: or twice.
- 42:30Speaker 2: All right, so, and look, this girl sent me a
- 42:33Speaker 2: damn picture and all, so I know what the people
- 42:35Speaker 2: look like. So she says, been with this guy for
- 42:39Speaker 2: about 16 months. Me and his youngest BM have had
- 42:43Speaker 2: words on two occasions. Their youngest kid is almost five.
- 42:46Speaker 2: She posted on Facebook an old video and pic from
- 42:50Speaker 2: last year saying, happy 16 years, happy birthday, baby daddy.
- 42:55Speaker 2: Y'all want him so bad. I'm Creshawn. I'm not going nowhere.
- 42:59Speaker 2: That's the whole caption of the post for his birthday. Right?
- 43:03Speaker 2: She said, I told him today he needs to tell
- 43:05Speaker 2: her we are together and the back and forth Facebook
- 43:08Speaker 2: subliminal and BS need to stop if he is serious
- 43:12Speaker 2: about me or go be with her because I'm not
- 43:15Speaker 2: going through this shit anymore. He says he has no
- 43:19Speaker 2: problem with that. So we shall see. But I feel
- 43:22Speaker 2: like I'm right to give him an ultimatum after 16 months.
- 43:25Speaker 2: I've expressed the importance of boundaries before with their relationship,
- 43:30Speaker 2: and I'm ready to walk away if he doesn't make
- 43:34Speaker 2: this right, even though I really want to be with him.
- 43:36Speaker 2: What do you think? And then she sends a picture
- 43:40Speaker 2: of the guy with the post from the BM. So
- 43:45Speaker 2: I asked her, how many kids, how many BMs? He
- 43:49Speaker 2: has three baby moms, five kids. Last two are four
- 43:52Speaker 2: and 12 years old.
- 43:53Speaker 1: With that lady.
- 43:55Speaker 2: Yeah, must be with the youngest then.
- 43:56Speaker 1: First of all, what grown woman?
- 43:58Speaker 2: Or maybe they just got the one, the five-year-old.
- 43:59Speaker 1: 16 years in, and you out here talking about you,
- 44:02Speaker 1: Chris Sean?
- 44:03Speaker 2: 16, wait, is that what it said? 16 years.
- 44:06Speaker 1: That is her post, yes. First of all, you a grown,
- 44:10Speaker 1: you a old-ass lady, because you've been fucking with somebody
- 44:12Speaker 1: for 16 years. How dare you call yourself Chris Sean?
- 44:15Speaker 1: Chris Sean? That's who you was.
- 44:17Speaker 2: They 35, both her and the girl.
- 44:20Speaker 1: How you talking about you, Chris Sean? There is a
- 44:22Speaker 1: young girl who's trying to figure it out out here.
- 44:26Speaker 1: She got a lot of trauma and a lot of,
- 44:28Speaker 1: you know. And that's what you're talking about?
- 44:31Speaker 2: Look, I asked her how the hell does she see
- 44:33Speaker 2: the post. She basically said the girl has her blocked
- 44:36Speaker 2: or they have each other blocked. But, you know, she
- 44:38Speaker 2: obviously if you want to see. My thing is, why
- 44:40Speaker 2: are you lurking? If you weren't lurking, you would have
- 44:44Speaker 2: never seen her post that. Oh, so it's on her page.
- 44:47Speaker 2: It's on the baby mama's page. Yeah.
- 44:51Speaker 1: Yeah, don't post my nigga talking about you, Creshawn.
- 44:54Speaker 2: That's her baby daddy.
- 44:54Speaker 1: Don't post my nigga talking about you, Creshawn.
- 44:57Speaker 2: Girl, we know what it is. Like, so, okay, you
- 45:00Speaker 2: have a decision to make. You don't have any kids
- 45:02Speaker 2: with this guy. He has three baby mamas. Are you
- 45:05Speaker 2: strapping up? Are you trying to be the fourth baby
- 45:07Speaker 2: mama with the sixth child?
- 45:10Speaker 1: Right.
- 45:10Speaker 2: Like, really, is that what you want your life to
- 45:12Speaker 2: be at 35?
- 45:12Speaker 1: It sounds like that's what she wants. She says she
- 45:14Speaker 1: wants to be with him. So that's what she's signing
- 45:17Speaker 1: up for. But there is a thing called boundaries, and
- 45:19Speaker 1: don't disrespect my relationship. He need to check her.
- 45:22Speaker 2: Right, absolutely. So, you know, you can't fault anybody outside
- 45:27Speaker 2: the relationship.
- 45:28Speaker 1: Right.
- 45:29Speaker 2: So definitely, if it's a situation, he definitely needs to
- 45:32Speaker 2: handle it.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Right. I don't like men who can't control their hoes.
- 45:36Speaker 1: What you want me to do?
- 45:37Speaker 2: I don't like those type of dudes, man. What you
- 45:38Speaker 2: want me to do about it? You know what I
- 45:40Speaker 2: want you to do. You know exactly what the same
- 45:43Speaker 2: shit you would want me to do if my baby
- 45:44Speaker 2: daddy was doing that.
- 45:45Speaker 1: Right.
- 45:46Speaker 2: Yeah, like, control your people.
- 45:47Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 45:48Speaker 2: Because she wouldn't be accepting that bullshit either.
- 45:51Speaker 1: Right, exactly.
- 45:52Speaker 2: Yeah. So, I don't know.
- 45:54Speaker 1: And he must be still sleeping with her.
- 45:57Speaker 2: Yeah, because we're her nigga. Her man would probably be like,
- 46:01Speaker 2: why are you posting that?
- 46:02Speaker 1: Right.
- 46:03Speaker 2: See? No BMs, no mamas, no sisters. No problems.
- 46:11Speaker 1: No baby mama, no sister, no mother.
- 46:13Speaker 2: Damn, who you trying to... I agree with men.
- 46:15Speaker 1: This bitch want to fuck Antoine Fisher.
- 46:17Speaker 2: Shut up. He fine, too.
- 46:21Speaker 1: Yeah, he is.
- 46:22Speaker 2: That actor.
- 46:23Speaker 1: Derek Luke.
- 46:23Speaker 2: Yes, he fine, too.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Where is Derek Luke? We done said that in the
- 46:27Speaker 1: last couple episodes.
- 46:27Speaker 2: I don't know. Pull up on us.
- 46:28Speaker 1: Where is Derek Luke? We want Derek Luke on the show.
- 46:32Speaker 1: Come talk to us, Derek. We want to see where
- 46:33Speaker 1: you've been at.
- 46:34Speaker 2: I'm with men when they say women are out here
- 46:36Speaker 2: having kids with men who already have kids. Because I'm
- 46:41Speaker 2: finding that there are some single men out here who
- 46:43Speaker 2: don't have kids, who haven't started a family, who you
- 46:45Speaker 2: can start a family with. You don't necessarily have to
- 46:47Speaker 2: be with somebody who already has kids. But the older
- 46:51Speaker 2: we get, you know.
- 46:52Speaker 1: The more difficult it becomes.
- 46:53Speaker 2: Right. Yeah. So I told my guy friend, he said
- 46:56Speaker 2: he doesn't want any more kids. And I was like,
- 46:58Speaker 2: you know, most women have kids. So you're going to
- 47:02Speaker 2: end up with somebody with kids helping take care of
- 47:05Speaker 2: a kid that isn't yours.
- 47:07Speaker 1: Well, depending on how old he is, them kids might be.
- 47:10Speaker 2: Out the house.
- 47:10Speaker 1: Yeah, grown, big kids. Yeah. They still... They'll always be
- 47:14Speaker 1: a child, but they not.
- 47:15Speaker 2: Let me let him... Let me let him keep thinking
- 47:18Speaker 2: that he gotta be with a bitch with little kids, okay? Okay.
- 47:22Speaker 2: Because why not be with somebody who has your kid?
- 47:25Speaker 2: I'm confused.
- 47:27Speaker 1: It don't work out like that always.
- 47:29Speaker 2: Anyway. Girl, run. Run. He's still fucking his baby mama.
- 47:34Speaker 1: That's what I think, too.
- 47:35Speaker 2: Get up out of there.
- 47:36Speaker 1: They still fucking.
- 47:37Speaker 2: Don't get that man no ultimatum. Grown people don't do
- 47:40Speaker 2: well with ultimatums. They are who they gonna be.
- 47:42Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 47:43Speaker 2: That situation was going on prior to you, even though
- 47:45Speaker 2: you've been there for 16 months now.
- 47:47Speaker 1: Right.
- 47:48Speaker 2: It may never change.
- 47:49Speaker 1: Right. And she Chris Sean, bitch. So that means she
- 47:52Speaker 1: want to fight about that nigga.
- 47:55Speaker 2: You hear me?
- 47:55Speaker 1: I ain't trying to fight.
- 47:57Speaker 2: Right. You trying to fight? Can you fight? That's my question.
- 48:00Speaker 2: Can you fight?
- 48:00Speaker 1: Can you fight? Because that girl said she'll fight. She'll
- 48:02Speaker 1: beat your ass about her baby daddy.
- 48:05Speaker 2: Can you fight?
- 48:07Speaker 1: I'm not trying to fight. At this age in my life,
- 48:09Speaker 1: I'm not trying to fight by nobody.
- 48:10Speaker 2: Bitch, you fuck around and fight and can't get up
- 48:12Speaker 2: the next day. You know, like how shocked.
- 48:14Speaker 1: Your body would be. The last time I got in
- 48:16Speaker 1: a fight, y'all, I was in live in Miami of
- 48:19Speaker 1: all places in the club. And we whooped at a
- 48:22Speaker 1: bitch ass. But the next day, I felt everything. That
- 48:27Speaker 1: whole donkey kicked me. In my shin, I was limping
- 48:31Speaker 1: through the airport trying to get back to Charlotte. She
- 48:36Speaker 1: kicked backwards like that? Backward, yeah, because I was hot, hot,
- 48:40Speaker 1: hot in the back of the head. Y'all, we do
- 48:45Speaker 1: not condone violence on this show. I was very young
- 48:48Speaker 1: when that happened.
- 48:49Speaker 2: Violence is sometimes necessary.
- 48:51Speaker 1: And I was attacked, so I was defending myself. I
- 48:53Speaker 1: did not start anything. Let me just put that out there.
- 48:56Speaker 2: It's necessary sometimes.
- 48:59Speaker 1: I was attacked in a rental dress.
- 49:02Speaker 2: I was so mad. I was so mad. I had
- 49:03Speaker 2: rented this $ 2, 000 dress for the night so I could
- 49:04Speaker 2: be a bad bitch for the night in that dress.
- 49:06Speaker 2: And it was one of my friends beef.
- 49:11Speaker 1: I didn't even know these girls. They were actually girls
- 49:22Speaker 1: from New York. And my friend was like, oh, yeah,
- 49:26Speaker 1: me and this girl got a situation or whatever. We
- 49:28Speaker 1: don't get along. We're in a VIP, chilling, having a
- 49:31Speaker 1: good time. I'm sparkly in my little rental dress. And
- 49:35Speaker 1: the girl and her friend walk up. And, you know,
- 49:40Speaker 1: I'm watching because I know it's smoke between them. And, y'all,
- 49:44Speaker 1: this is a long time ago. Okay, so we're in
- 49:48Speaker 1: the promoter section or whatever. They come over. They talking
- 49:50Speaker 1: to the promoter. We're sitting on the top of the couch.
- 49:53Speaker 1: One of them climbs up into the couch. The other
- 49:55Speaker 1: one is on the floor. So she keeps bumping into
- 49:58Speaker 1: my friend, like, on purpose, for real. So my friend
- 50:01Speaker 1: was like, please stop bumping me. Nothing disrespectful. Please stop
- 50:05Speaker 1: bumping into me. So then I stood up. But not
- 50:08Speaker 1: stood up like on no aggressive shit. I just stood
- 50:11Speaker 1: up because there's a lot going on. So I stood
- 50:14Speaker 1: up because I was I was vulnerable sitting right when
- 50:18Speaker 1: I stood up. The friend that was standing on the
- 50:20Speaker 1: floor punched me in the face as soon as I
- 50:23Speaker 1: stood up.
- 50:25Speaker 2: God damn on go on go.
- 50:27Speaker 1: Just as soon as I stood up, the bitch hit
- 50:28Speaker 1: me in my face. But little did they know they
- 50:31Speaker 1: thought it was just me and my homegirl in the section.
- 50:33Speaker 2: It was six of us.
- 50:35Speaker 1: We just, like, me and my homegirl were sitting next
- 50:37Speaker 1: to the promoter. My sister was right next to me
- 50:39Speaker 1: sitting on the couch. And then I had four homegirls
- 50:42Speaker 1: sitting on the other. It was a big-ass couch.
- 50:44Speaker 2: Right.
- 50:45Speaker 1: So I got hit.
