Speaker 1: guys definitely should go and watch it. You know, once
1:41
Speaker 1: you go and watch it, please let me know how
1:42
Speaker 1: you felt about it. If you felt the same way
1:44
Speaker 1: that I did. If you didn't feel the same way
1:47
Speaker 1: that I did, that's fine as well too, But I
1:48
Speaker 1: would love to know, like if I was the only
1:50
Speaker 1: one who felt some of the sentiments that I'm about
1:51
Speaker 1: to express. So Andrew Schultz sat down with the Pivot,
1:57
Speaker 1: Ryan Clirk and the team over there and they had
2:00
Speaker 1: some conversations. Now, you guys will remember, and if you don't,
2:04
Speaker 1: Andrew Schultz comedian Andrew Schultz of the Flagrant podcast. He
2:08
Speaker 1: also does Brilliant Idiots with Charlemagne. He is a comedian,
2:11
Speaker 1: like big comedian. Like if you don't know who he is,
2:14
Speaker 1: I don't really know how to describe him, but google
2:16
Speaker 1: him because welcome to the party. But he had sat
2:20
Speaker 1: down with the it's like Shits and Giggles or Shits
2:23
Speaker 1: Giggles something like that, the podcast. I don't even care
2:27
Speaker 1: if I get their name right because I really don't
2:28
Speaker 1: care for them after this whole debacle. But anyway, just
2:31
Speaker 1: added some background context. He sat down with them. They
2:34
Speaker 1: were on his show Flagrant, where it's him and like
2:36
Speaker 1: a few other hosts. And while they're Andrew Schultz and
2:41
Speaker 1: the guys had begun joking about black women, and you know,
2:44
Speaker 1: just there there were a few different jokes thrown, but
2:48
Speaker 1: you know, some of the things that were insinuated were like,
2:52
Speaker 1: you know, black women are stressful. We you know, we're aggressive,
2:55
Speaker 1: we you know that whole thing. It's like the angry
2:57
Speaker 1: black woman, the we stress our man out, we don't
3:00
Speaker 1: know when to keep our mouth shut, like that whole thing.
3:01
Speaker 1: And people did not take it lightly, nor did they
3:04
Speaker 1: care for you guys know that me Andrew Schaltz have
3:06
Speaker 1: had the conversation about this when he came to the
3:08
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. If you didn't see that interview, please go
3:10
Speaker 1: take a listen to that as well. But he sat
3:13
Speaker 1: down with the Pivot and on the Pivot they talked
3:15
Speaker 1: about this, because when all of this happened, Ryan Clark
3:18
Speaker 1: had actually they talked about it on the Pivot. On
3:20
Speaker 1: that platform, and Ryan Clark shared sentiments that went pretty viral,
3:24
Speaker 1: and in the sentiments he shared, he was basically saying, like, Okay,
3:28
Speaker 1: so y'all are over there talking about black women, but
3:30
Speaker 1: let me tell about the black women. I know, they're amazing.
3:32
Speaker 1: They do this, they do that, they take care of us,
3:34
Speaker 1: They hear the world on our back. And I'm, you know,
3:36
Speaker 1: making things up, not making them up, but I'm paraphrasing
3:39
Speaker 1: and just summarizing a bit. But his sentiment was that
3:42
Speaker 1: you guys have all of these negative things to say
3:44
Speaker 1: about black women, you want to lean into these tropes
3:46
Speaker 1: with the black women that, in my life literally are everything.
3:52
Speaker 1: And Andrew Schultzen and Ryan Clark had a very one
3:55
Speaker 1: on one conversation. Either are other people in the room
3:57
Speaker 1: about that moment Andrew Schaltz shared, you know, with Ryan
4:00
Speaker 1: Clark that he felt like Ryan was not trolling, but
4:03
Speaker 1: that it was like a clout chase because at that moment,
4:06
Speaker 1: everybody was talking about Schultz and his jokes and blah
4:08
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. Ryan made it very clear it
4:11
Speaker 1: wasn't about you. He said, you know, basically, respectfully, I
4:15
Speaker 1: don't care about you. I used you as a symbol
4:18
Speaker 1: of here's what happens when it comes to black women
4:21
Speaker 1: in these little jokey jokes. Here's what happens when it
4:23
Speaker 1: comes to black women in this non respect Basically, he
4:26
Speaker 1: said that he felt like it didn't feel like a joke.
4:29
Speaker 1: Like a lot of the things that Andrew Schultz said
4:31
Speaker 1: and that sit down with the Shits and Giggles podcast,
4:34
Speaker 1: I feel like that's something you heard, you regurgitated, that's
4:38
Speaker 1: how you felt. Andrew Schultz of course took that offensively.
4:41
Speaker 1: He you know, felt like in the moment, you know,
4:44
Speaker 1: you're throwing it on me that I don't know that
4:46
Speaker 1: these tropes and these things exist that I don't know,
4:50
Speaker 1: amazing women in general, but also amazing Black women, and
4:54
Speaker 1: you know, like he kind of was offended that Ryan
4:56
Speaker 1: thought that he was he was that ignorant to you,
5:00
Speaker 1: you know, all of the things that you know, us
5:01
Speaker 1: as black women deal with, the stereotypes and the walls
5:05
Speaker 1: that we, you know, fight against. But I think Ryan's
5:08
Speaker 1: point was it's like, well, you know, I honestly might
5:11
Speaker 1: not have been trying to make that point, but since
5:13
Speaker 1: we're here, if that is what you understand, if that's
5:16
Speaker 1: what you know, why would you even make that joke.
5:18
Speaker 1: I understood why people were bothered. For me, it was
5:21
Speaker 1: like it was the messenger like that's never gonna land
5:25
Speaker 1: well from white men. It's just not even if I
5:27
Speaker 1: think it's funny as hell, like I think Andrew Shows
5:30
Speaker 1: is funny. Especially after meeting him, I feel like, you know,
5:34
Speaker 1: our conversation was a one and done conversation at the
5:36
Speaker 1: breakfast club, but I feel like after meeting him, I
5:39
Speaker 1: understand that he takes aim at everybody. You know, nobody
5:44
Speaker 1: is a safe per se. But I do think that
5:49
Speaker 1: there is this like thing when it comes to black women,
5:53
Speaker 1: and I think rightfully so one of my homeboys asked
5:55
Speaker 1: me today, like, well, you know, that's kind of unfair.
5:59
Speaker 1: So you want him to treat you different because you're
6:01
Speaker 1: a black woman. And I was like yeah, and he
6:04
Speaker 1: was like, well, I don't understand that. And I was like,
6:06
Speaker 1: I mean, it's one of those things where to me,
6:09
Speaker 1: I feel like we carry so much, we deal with
6:14
Speaker 1: so much, we are the ingredients so much that yeah,
6:17
Speaker 1: handle me, talk to me nice. I think that there
6:20
Speaker 1: is just a level of understanding that doesn't have to
6:23
Speaker 1: happen when you're white. Period. My friend actually came back
6:27
Speaker 1: around and was like, you know what, I kind of
6:28
Speaker 1: understand it because it's like if a white woman were
6:31
Speaker 1: to say certain things about a black man. And they
6:33
Speaker 1: brought this up in a podcast. They talked about Chelsea
6:35
Speaker 1: Handler saying that because of how aggressive she is, white
6:38
Speaker 1: men can't handle her. She was making a joke white
6:40
Speaker 1: man can't handle her, she needed a black man, and
6:42
Speaker 1: they were talking about how like you know that leans
6:44
Speaker 1: into like black men have to be aggressive, they have
6:46
Speaker 1: to be tough. And after this and after that, and
6:48
Speaker 1: when they were telling the joke, my friend was like,
6:50
Speaker 1: I don't really like that. I said, oh, you want
6:54
Speaker 1: to talk about mothers, Like, okay, now you understand, And
6:58
Speaker 1: do you think Chelsea Handler is racist? He said no,
7:01
Speaker 1: do you think she means it will to you. He said.
7:03
Speaker 2: No.
7:03
Speaker 1: I'm like, but it's because it's like, who are you?
7:06
Speaker 1: That's all that the people are saying, and that is
7:08
Speaker 1: the conversation that they were having on the pivot. I
7:11
Speaker 1: do think that like somebody in the room at some
7:12
Speaker 1: point could have been like, all right, bro, all right,
7:14
Speaker 1: you know, like I feel like comedians should be able
7:17
Speaker 1: to be comedians. They should be able to joke, they
7:18
Speaker 1: should be able to have a good time. But I
7:20
Speaker 1: do think that they got to stand on their shit though,
7:22
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm like, I don't want to even
7:25
Speaker 1: really discuss the guys from the Shits and Giggle's podcast
7:27
Speaker 1: who sat in that room and he ha ha joke,
7:30
Speaker 1: he joked, and then after that we're like, oh my god,
7:32
Speaker 1: we were so intimidating. We should have said something. If
7:35
Speaker 1: we knew, we would have punched him in his face,
7:36
Speaker 1: but we were just like, you know it just you know,
7:38
Speaker 1: time and place, time and place. No, if they would
7:41
Speaker 1: have stood on like yo, no, I thought the joke
7:43
Speaker 1: was funny, it would have been like, okay, cool. I
7:45
Speaker 1: think standing on it is the big thing. And that
7:47
Speaker 1: was like when me and Andrew Schultz had the conversation
7:49
Speaker 1: at the breakfast club. That was my whole thing. It's like, okay, cool,
7:51
Speaker 1: if that's how you you know, you want a joke,
7:53
Speaker 1: but like, stand on it. And I do appreciate that
7:55
Speaker 1: he does stand on I don't mean harm by this.
7:57
Speaker 1: I'm a comedian. I understand He also in the Pivot
8:02
Speaker 1: interview says he understands people that are upset. He gets it. Like,
8:05
Speaker 1: if you're upset, he gets it. You have a right
8:07
Speaker 1: to be upset. But he's still going to tell his joke.
8:10
Speaker 1: I don't think that comedians, white comedians should not be
8:12
Speaker 1: able to joke about black people and black things. I
8:15
Speaker 1: think funny is funny. But I do think that there
8:18
Speaker 1: are you know, cultural awarenesses and certain levels of tone
8:23
Speaker 1: deaf that you just have to be knowledgeable of so
8:26
Speaker 1: that when the backlash or the response comes your way,
8:30
Speaker 1: you know how to deal with it. And then I
8:31
Speaker 1: think they raised a good point too. In this interview.
8:34
Speaker 1: The conversation came up in the room of like, okay,
8:36
Speaker 1: because Andrew Schultz is white or whoever, right, should you
8:39
Speaker 1: only as a comedian be able to joke about things
8:42
Speaker 1: that you've actually experienced? So like if he had actually
8:45
Speaker 1: experienced a black woman or like whatever the case may be.
8:49
Speaker 1: I don't think that that should be a rule either,
8:51
Speaker 1: Like I'm so free flown when it comes to this,
8:53
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I still kind of felt like,
8:55
Speaker 1: m you know what you did, Like it's a hard
9:00
Speaker 1: middle place to be in and rightfully so, I think
9:02
Speaker 1: it depends on the day. And I think when my
9:04
Speaker 1: friend asked me, like, as a black woman, you want
9:06
Speaker 1: people to regard you differently, Yes, we do. But again,
9:10
Speaker 1: at the same time, I'm still one that believes that
9:12
Speaker 1: people should be able to laugh and joking he ha
9:14
Speaker 1: like and all that good stuff. But I will say
9:16
Speaker 1: like it was I felt good watching the pivot and
9:19
Speaker 1: them having a very respectful conversation about black men, feeling like, nah,
9:24
Speaker 1: but don't play with them though, don't do that because
9:27
Speaker 1: other way around, black women we coming out swinging like
9:30
Speaker 1: we we moved, like we pushing protest lines about y'all period,
9:35
Speaker 1: And that's I think that that's the biggest thing as
9:37
Speaker 1: well too. I think it was the optics of this
9:38
Speaker 1: white man making the jokes regardless if you thought it
9:41
Speaker 1: was funny or he could or not. But then it
9:43
Speaker 1: was okay, there's these other black men who are there,
9:46
Speaker 1: and it's no like, yo, bro, relax like. Even if
9:49
Speaker 1: it was jokingly like yo, relax like, it was nothing.
9:51
Speaker 1: So make sure y'all go check out that conversation on
9:55
Speaker 1: the Pivot with Andrew Schauss. It was a really good conversation.
9:57
Speaker 1: I would love to hear what you guys thought about,
9:59
Speaker 1: you know, the middle point that they came to in
10:02
Speaker 1: that conversation. Now, next up, we're gonna take a very
10:07
Speaker 1: hard rite and head on down to the South where
10:10
Speaker 1: the Brick Squad be at in Atlanta. Waka Flaka so
10:15
Speaker 1: Whaka Flaka posted this video today and in the video,
10:19
Speaker 1: he's having some internal thoughts about the fact that now
10:22
Speaker 1: he's older and he don't want no holes no more.
10:26
Speaker 1: He wants his woman. He say, he don't want no
10:29
Speaker 1: thoughts no more. He wants his woman. He talks about,
10:32
Speaker 1: you know, as you get older, becoming sensitive and more
10:35
Speaker 1: sensitive and just wanting to be with one person, somebody
10:38
Speaker 1: that's gonna hold you. And the people are in the
10:41
Speaker 1: comments flaming my guy, Waka. You know I love you,
10:45
Speaker 1: but they were flaming you, and I was kind of
10:50
Speaker 1: I know why the people are doing it, because most
10:52
Speaker 1: people are like, well, you had Tammy. She was a
10:56
Speaker 1: dedicated wife, a loving wife, and you just couldn't hold
10:59
Speaker 1: it together. It's given like waka, isn't it very I
11:01
Speaker 1: know he's still like doing shows and performances and all that,
11:04
Speaker 1: but it seems like he's just in the mental space
11:06
Speaker 1: of like, I just want something a little bit more
11:08
Speaker 1: of substance right now, not even right now, but at
11:11
Speaker 1: this point in my life, and whatever made him arrive
11:14
Speaker 1: to that feeling. I'm not mad at it. I know
11:17
Speaker 1: some of you guys make me mad about it. I'm
11:19
Speaker 1: not mad about it. And the reason why I'm not
11:21
Speaker 1: mad about it is because I think a lot of
11:24
Speaker 1: times as a woman, I think, and I've been guilty
11:27
Speaker 1: of this and probably will be guilty of this again.
11:29
Speaker 1: I think sometimes we date men and we try to
11:33
Speaker 1: like be with men and you know, engaged and married
11:37
Speaker 1: and having kids by these men because of where we
11:39
Speaker 1: see them going, not where they're actually at. And I
11:42
Speaker 1: think as a man, it's like men can kind of
11:45
Speaker 1: like compartmentalize a little bit. It's like, Okay, I know
11:48
Speaker 1: I might not be ready for all of this, but
11:50
Speaker 1: let me sit back and think about it. Like what's logically.
11:52
Speaker 1: Men are so much more logical sometimes than we are,
11:55
Speaker 1: even when the logic is like stupidity. And let me
11:58
Speaker 1: explain that. When I say that, I mean like, okay,
12:00
Speaker 1: so a a man will be like, all right, I
12:04
Speaker 1: might not be the most happiest, but this home brings
12:08
Speaker 1: me peace. I'm here afraaidy to have kids. I know
12:11
Speaker 1: so many men right now who are in situations where
12:14
Speaker 1: they you know, they're married. They locked into these situations,
12:17
Speaker 1: and to be honest with y'all, like, if they could
12:19
Speaker 1: go and figure it all out again, they would, but
12:22
Speaker 1: they're so locked in they can't. But it's because at
12:24
Speaker 1: the time it made sense for like what they needed.
12:27
Speaker 1: They needed that family unit they needed. Like some men too,
12:30
Speaker 1: also don't feel like anything unless they're providing in a
12:33
Speaker 1: unit like that. So they fulfill that void. They compartmentalize,
12:37
Speaker 1: They put to the side of things that that you know,
12:39
Speaker 1: might seem like a hoop dream and take. You know,
12:41
Speaker 1: it's like the eighty twenty rule and lock in, and
12:44
Speaker 1: then things happen. They're not happy, the cheating comes in
12:46
Speaker 1: and all of that stuff. I would rather be with
12:48
Speaker 1: a man who's like, yo, look, I'm in a space
12:52
Speaker 1: right now where like I can't really give you everything.
12:55
Speaker 1: And when I say be with the man, I mean
12:57
Speaker 1: you can't really be with someone who's in this space.
12:58
Speaker 1: But I mean I would rather have a man tell
13:01
Speaker 1: me and be honest with me about Hey, right now,
13:04
Speaker 1: I'm not in a space where like I can be
13:06
Speaker 1: what you want me to be for you, Like I
13:08
Speaker 1: can't be with you, I can't lock in. I'm not
13:10
Speaker 1: Monogamy is not a thing that I'm doing right now.
13:13
Speaker 1: I'm not there then, leaning. So I don't understand why
13:17
Speaker 1: we get upset at men getting to that point, because
13:19
Speaker 1: women get there too. Like us as women, we like
13:22
Speaker 1: like we really act like sometimes like just because a
13:26
Speaker 1: man is a man, like we're both not like human
13:29
Speaker 1: like as women, Yeah, I think that we do have
13:31
Speaker 1: the tendency to lean in a little bit more, locking
13:33
Speaker 1: a little bit more or whatever. So it seems depending
13:36
Speaker 1: on the man that you're dealing with. But like we
13:38
Speaker 1: all have that time in our life where we're like, oh, okay,
13:41
Speaker 1: like I gotta do the kids thing, It's time to
13:44
Speaker 1: buy a crib. Okay, normal clubs, maybe just lounge just now,
13:49
Speaker 1: you know, maybe not even lounges, maybe cute, little dinner,
13:51
Speaker 1: little drink, a little happy hour. It's time to have them.
13:53
Speaker 1: Like we all have that shift in our life where
13:55
Speaker 1: it's just like substance. I want more, I want a level?
14:00
Speaker 1: What up? I need to do more? What's wrong would
14:02
Speaker 1: a man be allowed about that? I don't understand it,
14:04
Speaker 1: because when you're getting the other thing, a man who
14:07
Speaker 1: is playing all these games, not saying much of anything.
14:12
Speaker 1: Now now we all andressing the boy page trauma, bonding
14:16
Speaker 1: in the comments. So I don't really understand it. But
14:18
Speaker 1: the girls are dragging him. So I wonder know how
14:20
Speaker 1: y'all feel. Please go take a listen to that Waka
14:22
Speaker 1: Flocka video. I don't know if Waka serious, why could
14:24
Speaker 1: play so dang much? I don't really know, but take
14:26
Speaker 1: a listen. Let me know what you think. And I
14:29
Speaker 1: believe that Waka Flocka is actually single. Now, he did
14:32
Speaker 1: have a little girlfriend that he was a little girlfriend,
14:34
Speaker 1: no shade Waka. He had a girlfriend that he went
14:37
