2:01
SPEAKER_03: Like whatever I do, I want to make sure I'm doing it to my a hundred percent.
2:06
SPEAKER_03: And so I'm just it just worries me.
2:09
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, I understand.
2:11
SPEAKER_03: Where are you going to school at?
2:13
SPEAKER_03: Uh all online, fully online through Walden, Walden University.
2:18

2:21
SPEAKER_02: Girl, you got this.
2:23
SPEAKER_02: You got this.
2:23
SPEAKER_03: I think that's a good one.
2:24
SPEAKER_03: This is also the first time going to school where AI and like chat GPT and shit is so popular.
2:35
SPEAKER_03: And so I'm like, I don't want that itch of let me throw this in chat GPT and checkers.
2:46
SPEAKER_03: Your ass are sure will.
2:49
SPEAKER_03: So I just think it's just I don't know.
2:52
SPEAKER_03: It's just really weird, it's strange being back in school, but it's just a lot of mixed emotions.
2:57
SPEAKER_03: So we'll see.
2:59
SPEAKER_02: You got it.
3:01
SPEAKER_02: That's what you got me for, and you got K-Round for your other friends for to keep you back on because I mean shit.
3:08
SPEAKER_02: Being having being a black woman and having a master's, which I don't have yet.
3:12
SPEAKER_02: I need a I'm actually looking at options.
3:15
SPEAKER_02: I thought I was gonna go back to finish my master's program, but Traveka for HR, that's not what I want to do.
3:20
SPEAKER_02: That's not what I'm passionate about.
3:22
SPEAKER_02: So I'm looking at starting over a complete program somewhere else.
3:26
SPEAKER_02: I'm looking at a few schools now.
3:29
SPEAKER_02: Um, but I think when you a black woman gets a master's degree, she's in the 6%.
3:35
SPEAKER_02: And I don't, and I think that is growing.
3:38
SPEAKER_02: So I can only imagine how like, girl, when you become a doctor, was it a doctor of education that you'll be?
3:45
SPEAKER_03: No, I'm I actually what you just said made me think of me.
3:49
SPEAKER_03: So um I've decided to go back for developmental psych.
3:56
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
3:56
SPEAKER_03: Um, I didn't want another degree in education, and I didn't want a degree in English.
4:02
SPEAKER_03: I wanted to do something completely, well, not completely different because not it it's not, it relates, but damn.
4:12
SPEAKER_02: Oh, you're gonna be studying like a lot of stuff dealing with psychology and and and mental stuff.
4:17
SPEAKER_02: And oh girl, that's well, that's green's paycheck.
4:21
SPEAKER_02: Do you know like where do you want your tri career trajectory to go after you receive this degree or what you thinking?
4:28
SPEAKER_03: So if I stay in the education field, like if say if I you know continue in my job where I am now, um, you have like your directors of special education, you have director of um uh special populations, things like that.
4:49
SPEAKER_03: Um you would like overseeing full departments.
4:55
SPEAKER_03: Um so I thought about that, but then I've also thought about getting into like teaching at the college level, maybe being a professor of like developmental site.
5:09
SPEAKER_03: Um, so yeah, I just I don't know yet.
5:13
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
5:15
SPEAKER_02: Possibilities are definitely endless, and who's to say once you finish getting your doctor doctorate degree that the the landscape won't be different, and it could be other opportunities that you can lean towards.
5:26
SPEAKER_02: So that's always good.
5:28
SPEAKER_03: Um in my in my uh school is steady growing, so um I know there's been talks of like my school in a five to six years adding maybe an elementary school, so that'll open up more opportunities.
5:45
SPEAKER_03: So it's just a um, I know they're adding some new things in the high school as far as like work-based learning and things like that.
5:54
SPEAKER_03: So um more recruitment uh positions are coming down the pipeline for my school.
6:00
SPEAKER_03: So we are definitely expanding as far as like the charter world, trying to be a bigger charter.
6:06
SPEAKER_03: Um, but yeah, so I'm I'm excited for what's to come, but I am I am a little nervous.
6:14
SPEAKER_02: And that's I mean, hey, we're starting something new that comes with the territory, right?
6:19
SPEAKER_02: That's right.
6:20
SPEAKER_02: That's right.
6:20
SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.

6:34
SPEAKER_03: Um, that was super exciting to be done with this school year, and now I'm into summer work.
6:42
SPEAKER_03: So summer work has begun.
6:44
SPEAKER_03: I only go in three days a week from eight to three, but it's a lot of planning for next year, and then also creating professional development for teachers when they come back in July.
6:57
SPEAKER_03: So that's what I've been doing.
6:59
SPEAKER_03: Also, been doing a lot of interviews.
7:01
SPEAKER_03: I actually interviewed two potential teachers this morning.
7:06
SPEAKER_03: I did one at one at 9:40, no, 915, and then I did another one at 12:45.
7:14
SPEAKER_03: One was for a science position and one was for an English position.
7:18
SPEAKER_03: So we're because we're trying to be fully staffed.
7:21
SPEAKER_03: That's like the goal is to be fully staffed by August, by the first day of school.
7:27
SPEAKER_03: We don't want to have any um substitutes or long-term substitutes in those roles.
7:33
SPEAKER_03: So that's what I've been doing.
7:35
SPEAKER_03: So it's just been like a lot of projects, like creating different things and revising stuff.
7:40
SPEAKER_03: That's always cool.
7:42
SPEAKER_03: Um, but it's just really low-key.
7:44
SPEAKER_03: I just love, even though I work in the summer, it's still super, super low-key.
7:50
SPEAKER_03: So that's been cool.
7:51
SPEAKER_03: Um, the kids are doing great.
7:54
SPEAKER_03: Joy will be at my school in August, so that's really amazing.

SPEAKER_03: Here's the thing.
8:25
SPEAKER_03: He's just really, really smart.
8:27
SPEAKER_03: And I know like like people say that a lot about their kids, but like the things that he remembers and like puts together is just like, how did you even know how to do that?
8:42
SPEAKER_03: Or where did that come from at two years old?
8:45
SPEAKER_03: And so channeling that and then him also having like a lot of fucking energy is just very overstimulating.
8:54
SPEAKER_03: And I'm just like, dude, and just not listening.
9:00
SPEAKER_03: He is just a hot ass fest, and I'm like, man, you prayed for this boy, but boys are different, man.

SPEAKER_03: Boys are really different.
9:08
SPEAKER_02: Um the heart of the potty train.
9:11
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, oh yeah, that's a that's what we're doing right now, and he will get up from the potty and like literally pull his pants back up and be like, I PP.
9:23
SPEAKER_03: And it's like you're supposed to pee on the toilet, so you can tell me that you pee, but you pissed in your pants.

9:53
SPEAKER_03: Like, even though right now our weather looks like shit.
9:56
SPEAKER_03: Um, and the rain is fucking killing me.
9:59
SPEAKER_03: But summertime is usually like my my happy time because my birthday is in the summer and all that good stuff, and I'm just at a slower pace.
10:08
SPEAKER_03: So yeah, I'm I'm doing really good.
10:11
SPEAKER_02: You have to deal with kids and their when we talk about that off record, but not having to deal with kids and their parents.
10:17
SPEAKER_03: Yes, the fucking constant emails of just crazy shit.
10:22
SPEAKER_03: And I'm just like, man, like I'm the emails that I get from people, I'm just like, is there like a somewhere on the website that says I'm like specifically the person to email?
10:32
SPEAKER_03: Because I literally I feel like I'm the one on my team who gets email the most.
10:36
SPEAKER_03: And it'd be about stuff that I don't even own.
10:39
SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, where who told you to email me?
10:43
SPEAKER_02: Um they just emailed the first person email they saw on the website.
10:47
SPEAKER_02: That's all I did.
10:48
SPEAKER_02: Like, what?
10:49
SPEAKER_03: And so that's yeah, I'm so glad that that's paused for now in the summertime to have to deal with that shit.
10:57
SPEAKER_03: Um, but yeah, I'm doing good.
10:59
SPEAKER_03: How you doing, sis?
11:01
SPEAKER_02: I'm doing.
11:02
SPEAKER_02: Um, I share with TJ on Thursday.
11:04
SPEAKER_02: It's just I know something big is coming.
11:08
SPEAKER_02: Like, as far as then, I don't know what a job I thought I was gonna get by now, two jobs actually, another full-time and a part-time I didn't get.
11:16
SPEAKER_02: Um, so I'm like, okay, I gotta go back to the drawing board.
11:21
SPEAKER_02: I gotta start back applying, and I need I want to get a part-time because it's a trip that I have coming up at the end of July, like July the 30th through like August the 3rd, that I really, really, really want to take and have a nice amount of money for.
11:37
SPEAKER_02: But I'm like, crap, I thought I would have been working.
11:40
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so it's just been dead ends.
11:43
SPEAKER_02: Um a lot of just getting body along, you know.
11:49
SPEAKER_02: Um the only thing that I'm certain about is I'm not gonna allow myself to be stressed out like I was last year because that's how I literally developed freaking morphia, which is my skin cond autoimmune disease, which is a skin condition, right?
12:07
SPEAKER_02: Um, I just don't want any flare-ups, but life is just I uh girl.
12:15
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I I have nothing to add.
12:18
SPEAKER_02: But um outside of the trip, I really don't have nothing to look forward to per se.
12:26
SPEAKER_02: It's just yeah, but that's depressing.
12:30
SPEAKER_02: So let's go.
12:31
SPEAKER_02: We can get this show started.
12:33
SPEAKER_02: Um girl, say I'm music.
12:38
SPEAKER_02: It's first of all, maybe it's just me as somebody who's uh I listen to music every day.
12:45
SPEAKER_02: It's very rare if I'm not talking or if I'm not like listening to something or in a meeting, typically all day through work, either I have music playing in my ear or one of my co-workers, because it helps when you work with a team with six black women.
13:00
SPEAKER_02: All of y'all typically can agree to let's just listen to some 90s RB or some soft jazz or something.
13:05
SPEAKER_02: Um, if I'm at home, if I'm not watching something on TV, I have music playing on my headphones.
13:12
SPEAKER_02: You know, I always have music when I'm doing like when I'm showering, if I'm cooking, if I'm whatever it is.
13:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
13:19
SPEAKER_02: I've listened to enough music in my lifetime to understand soulless versus soul.
13:24
SPEAKER_02: So it's like I hate, even with the girl that went, I think she was the first AI artist to have placement on the Bible Hot 100, Zania or Zania Monane, her shit, all of her shit sounds the same.
13:37
SPEAKER_02: It's it's it's not it's rhymey rhymey to me.
13:40
SPEAKER_02: It's it's it's it's like it's empty.
13:42
SPEAKER_02: There's nothing attached to the music.
13:45
SPEAKER_02: So it's just like I or like you pop up with the AI album covers and it's like oh King Will Alone is there doing a cover of a song for I'm like that shit's not real.
13:55
SPEAKER_02: And honey, our parents are fucked.
13:59
SPEAKER_02: Like, I like this song.
14:00
SPEAKER_02: Mom, that's not even real.
14:02
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
14:04
SPEAKER_03: Um, there was, let's see, what day was this?
14:07
SPEAKER_03: It was like two nights ago.
14:10
SPEAKER_03: I was super sick.
14:11
SPEAKER_03: Matter of fact, this is the night that we were supposed to record Wednesday night, and I'm like sick in the bathroom.
14:19
SPEAKER_03: Um, those of y'all, I've told y'all before here on the pod that um I'm doing GLP1 medication.
14:26
SPEAKER_03: Um, so far I'm down 37 pounds.
14:30
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
14:31
SPEAKER_03: Yes, thank you so much.
14:32
SPEAKER_03: But I up, I upped my dosage again, and so I take my shot on Sundays, and then midweek I I can get pretty sick.
14:41
SPEAKER_03: So I was super sick, and I'm in the bathroom, like trying to get my life together, and I hear my mother-in-law, she's playing this song, and it's like loud a f.
14:53
SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, what is this song?
14:55
SPEAKER_03: And she's like singing to it, and she's like, Um, how does it go?
15:00
SPEAKER_03: Um, I believe in me, or I put it on me.
15:05
SPEAKER_02: Little songs like that.
15:06
SPEAKER_03: I'm like, oh my god, it's fucking fake.
15:10
SPEAKER_02: If it ain't listen, oh shit.
15:12
SPEAKER_03: What is this?
15:12
SPEAKER_03: I'm like, what is this?
15:13
SPEAKER_03: What is this?
15:14
SPEAKER_03: But of course, I'm sick.
15:15
SPEAKER_03: So the next day, it's so crazy because I get on the phone with my sisters, and they are, you know, they're the same age as James.
15:26
SPEAKER_03: And so they're really on social media, they're on TikTok more than I am, and so we're talking about it, and they're like, um, that's an AI song.
15:35
SPEAKER_03: And I said, I fucking knew it.
15:37
SPEAKER_03: I said I knew it, y'all, that it was an AI song.
15:39
SPEAKER_03: And so then Zaryan goes, go on TikTok and type in phenomenal woman.
15:47
SPEAKER_03: Phenomenal black woman.
15:49
SPEAKER_03: So I typed this in, and so it's like this TikTok trend of like our generation, a younger generation, my sister's age, who are like recording the older black women, like jamming out to these AI songs.
16:03
SPEAKER_03: And this shit is so fucking corny.
16:07
SPEAKER_02: It is the corniest shit I've ever heard in my life.
16:10
SPEAKER_02: Well, what I what I'm not what's not under what I'm not understanding, what's not clicking to me is they'll be quick to say, you know, which I do believe them.
16:18
SPEAKER_02: So I'm gonna give them grace.
16:19
SPEAKER_02: They'll say, oh, y'all music is shit, or the music of today is shit, which a lot of it is.
16:24
SPEAKER_02: A lot of it's bullshit.
16:25
SPEAKER_02: But it's just like y'all grew up with these amazing fucking artists, and y'all can't tell the shit.
16:33
SPEAKER_02: AI.
16:35
SPEAKER_03: So I go and tell mom, so I go and tell my mother-in-law, I'm like, mom, who sings that song, that celebrate me song?
16:41
SPEAKER_03: She's like, I don't know.
16:42
SPEAKER_03: I said, Yeah, you don't know because it's not a real person.
16:45
SPEAKER_03: And she's like, You're kidding me, you're kidding me.
16:47
SPEAKER_03: I said, Mom, it's AI.
16:48
SPEAKER_03: And I said, I'm gonna tell you something else.
16:51
SPEAKER_03: The person who typed that shit into AI, you have no idea who that person is.
16:56
SPEAKER_02: I said to me Asian or white man, yeah.
16:58
SPEAKER_03: That's what I told her.
16:59
SPEAKER_03: And I said off of black voices and black images.
17:02
SPEAKER_03: That's right.
17:03
SPEAKER_03: And I told her, I said, you know, y'all are falling for the okey doe.
17:07
SPEAKER_03: I said, they're putting in these words and phrases and shit that they feel like y'all are gonna respond to and y'all are doing it.
17:14
SPEAKER_03: And I said, y'all need to stop pressing the play button on that shit over and over.
17:19
SPEAKER_03: I said, because really what you're doing is you are getting rid of basically real artistry, real writers, real musicians.
17:30
SPEAKER_03: Um, you're taking away people's careers and their jobs and their livelihood.
17:34
SPEAKER_03: And she's like, but but it's speaking to you know what I've been through as a black woman, and I depend on me.
17:42
SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, mom, it's not real.
17:47
SPEAKER_02: Just like it's this game.
17:50
SPEAKER_02: I've been seeing it advertised so much, and I refuse every time I see it, I scroll up, put not interested, but it still ends up because I'm on, I would say I'm mostly on TikTok and threads.
17:59
SPEAKER_02: That's my preferred method of um of social media.
18:03
SPEAKER_02: And it's it's you'll see like a black, and they use black women to advertise, which is which is very um is is what's some it's very facetious.
18:16
SPEAKER_02: So you'll see a black girl's uh with her hand covered, like, I received a five-paragraph essay through text message from my AI boyfriend telling me he's breaking up with me.
18:26
SPEAKER_02: Are we like as lonely as I am?
18:29
SPEAKER_02: I'm I'm very and I try not to say, oh, I'm single and lonely, but I'm fucking lonely.
18:34
SPEAKER_02: I get lonely sometimes.
18:35
SPEAKER_02: I'm fucking human.
18:36
SPEAKER_02: That's what makes me human.
18:38
SPEAKER_02: I will never get that lonely to where I'm fucking, my boyfriend is an AI.
18:44
SPEAKER_02: You're basically feeding a machine to learn how to respond to you.
18:48
SPEAKER_02: It's there's nothing fucking real.
18:50
SPEAKER_02: There's no heart, there's no emotion.
18:52
SPEAKER_02: This motherfucker does not care.

19:22
SPEAKER_02: You can't have sex with this person, you can't touch this person, you can't argue, you can't hug this person.
19:29
SPEAKER_02: And and to be honest, who's to say this shit's just technology?
19:32
SPEAKER_02: I'm a firm believer.
19:33
SPEAKER_02: A lot of this, you could be talking demons, people, and you don't know what the fuck.

SPEAKER_02: I was watching some little tech thing, and they had a robot doing the Michael Jackson, his famous routine when he first premiered.
20:31
SPEAKER_02: I saw that himself doing the first of all, the fact that this fucking AI that it couldn't do the dance.
20:37
SPEAKER_02: It didn't look good doing it.
20:39
SPEAKER_02: There was nothing in me about it, but the motherfucker was tripping and falling and just powered off.
20:43
SPEAKER_02: I guess she was embarrassed.
20:44
SPEAKER_02: He, she, whatever was embarrassed, but I'm just like, can we stop this?
20:49
SPEAKER_02: When you have people who grew up dancing their whole life, the average black person knows somebody or in the hood don't have the opportunity to go to dance schools or shit.
20:59
SPEAKER_02: You got Juliana trained dancers, you got people that are background dancers for all these types of, but this is what y'all do.
21:05
SPEAKER_02: This is what y'all spend money on.
21:07
SPEAKER_02: The amount of money that y'all spend on AI, this technology and shit, y'all could really feed an in-world hunger, but y'all don't want to do that.
21:15
SPEAKER_02: Y'all could, you know, house homeless people that we can get higher pay.
21:20
SPEAKER_02: It's just like this world, especially living in a capitalistic country like in the United States, is so fucked up.
21:28
SPEAKER_02: It's so fucked up.
21:29
SPEAKER_02: I had to talk with the reverend about this, but I'll go into that later.
21:32
SPEAKER_02: But girl, yeah, this AI music has got to go, and I really feel like there needs to be some ramifications on AI in all sectors, whether it comes to entertainment, music, movies.
21:42
SPEAKER_02: And I feel bad for celebrities who are are, especially celebrities who are deceased, because if there was a video of Tupac having a conversation with J.
21:53
SPEAKER_02: Cole, that's not fucking real.
21:56
SPEAKER_02: Tupac died when Kids of Lamar was potentially fucking bait.
21:59
SPEAKER_02: Like, What are we doing?
22:01
SPEAKER_02: So imagine his living family members seeing that shit.
22:04
SPEAKER_02: Like who would want to, you know what I'm saying?
22:07
SPEAKER_02: So I don't know.
22:08
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
22:09
SPEAKER_03: I just saw a video of Aliyah at a fucking uh sitting in the stands at a damn basketball game.
22:17
SPEAKER_03: Drinking.
22:17
SPEAKER_03: This shit looked real.
22:18
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, drinking soda and eating popcorn.
22:20
SPEAKER_03: And that was the first thing I thought about was fuck, man.
22:24
SPEAKER_03: Her family has to scroll and see this shit.
22:26
SPEAKER_03: Like her mother and her brother are still alive.
22:30
SPEAKER_02: Alive and well.
22:31
SPEAKER_02: So it's just well, I don't know if they're well, but you know, it's you know what I'm saying?
22:34
SPEAKER_02: Like, I don't know.
22:36
SPEAKER_02: But when this country is for sale and has been, and when we only protect the 1% of the 1% billionaire class, of course, motherfuckers like Elon Musk don't give a fuck.
22:45
SPEAKER_02: He's consistently putting up AI data centers in black cities or in cities that are poor.
22:54
SPEAKER_02: Or where they simply said, we don't fucking want a data center, but you're gonna do this shit anyway, because we don't care about the people in this country.
23:00
SPEAKER_02: This administration don't give a damn.
23:02
SPEAKER_02: But this is all part of the ramifications of you got what you voted for.
23:11
SPEAKER_02: Well, sis, I am going to mute my mic because I want you to get into this next story about the autistic young child out of Louisville and how his mother became his advocate.
23:20
SPEAKER_02: So I'm gonna mute myself and let you deal with this because I know this is personal.
23:24
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
23:25
SPEAKER_03: Um, this is extremely personal for me when I saw this come across um my Facebook page is where I first saw it.
23:34
SPEAKER_03: So out of Louisville, um, you had a um a parent whose son was going to um school every day, he is nonverbal on the spectrum.
23:49
SPEAKER_03: I can't remember the age.
23:51
SPEAKER_03: I know it's elementary school.
23:53
SPEAKER_02: Um I think maybe like seven, six, seven or six, if I'm not mistaken, if I can remember.
23:58
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
23:59
SPEAKER_03: Um going to school every day, and she had, you know, you have those even though, and I'll speak to the like the fact of being a parent of a child who's on the spectrum and being non-verbal, even though our kids cannot speak, we still of course know when something's wrong.
24:22
SPEAKER_03: So, for example, with Joy, um, she'll pace, like, she'll she does walk around a lot, but like her um pacing will become very aggressive, she will become aggressive, she may even start to um SIB, which means like self-induced behaviors.
24:44
SPEAKER_03: So she may scratch herself, she may make very loud noises, she might try to lunge um at you.
24:51
SPEAKER_03: So it's just things that we know as a parent when our kid is, you know, um going through something or having a hard time.
25:00
SPEAKER_03: I also, you know, like for instance, Joy does not like going to a specific doctor's office, um, her developmental um doctor's office, and she knows the building really well, and she doesn't like to go because um a few times back she had to get blood drawn, and that was very, very traumatic for her.
25:20
SPEAKER_03: And so oftentimes I see her like when we get to that building, she'll start rocking back and forth, she'll start getting like really fidgety, and so I know that um I have to do certain things to calm her down.
25:33
SPEAKER_03: With all that being said, this parent, this um, this woman, this black woman, um she obviously, you know, felt that there was something going on um at the school and was, you know, wondering what was happening in the classroom.
25:54
SPEAKER_03: Um, so she placed, of course, because there are no um cameras in the classroom, you know, and our kid our he can't talk, you know.
26:04
SPEAKER_03: We have a child who's non-verbal here, so it's not like he can come home and say, Mr.
26:09
SPEAKER_03: or Miss So-and-so did XYZ.
26:12
SPEAKER_03: Which I'm gonna tell you, as a parent, that is the most because already your kid is out of your eyesight, and so you can't be with them every day, but then also they are not able to communicate to you when they are away.
26:29
SPEAKER_03: I think for me, speaking from my point of view, especially having a daughter who is very well developed at her age, um, who does not even look like she is 10 years old, she looks more like she's pushing 13, 14.
26:48
SPEAKER_03: And so for me, it is a constant worry and a fear every time she is out of my eyesight that something is gonna happen to her, and she will not be able to tell me.
27:02
SPEAKER_03: So us, you know, black women, what do we do?
27:08
SPEAKER_03: We figure out a way.
27:10
SPEAKER_03: So this mom, um, her son has natural hair, he has locks, he had a style done to his hair, and she was able to put a camera in this baby boy's hair.
27:22
SPEAKER_03: Um, I'm gonna tell y'all something.
27:24
SPEAKER_03: I went on Amazon because I was looking for actually for a camera for Joy's bedroom because she's still having like toilet issues, and so I was looking for something that I could put in her room that would alert my phone when she would get up, blah blah blah.
27:40
SPEAKER_03: Y'all.
27:41
SPEAKER_03: Speaking of AI and technology, talking about cameras, yo, it's some shit on Amazon.
27:47
SPEAKER_03: So if you ever want, if you ever want to like uh put something in your house, put something on your person, whatever you want to do to for security, there is a lot of shit on Amazon and it's cheap.
28:03
SPEAKER_03: Um, well, I won't say cheap, it's affordable.
28:05
SPEAKER_03: So, anyways, this woman she puts the camera in her baby boy's hair and records, y'all, records this particular fucking nasty ass, disgusting ass white man being abusive, both verbally and fucking physically, to her child.
28:30
SPEAKER_03: Um yelling racial slurs to him, telling him get up.
28:36
SPEAKER_03: Um, I think even one time, correct me if I'm wrong, Ashley, but he kicked him or some shit like that.
28:42
SPEAKER_03: Um Lord have mercy.
28:47
SPEAKER_03: I cannot even imagine, imagine what this woman was going through as she is taken in watching these things unfold with her child while she is fucking at work.
29:04
SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, you send your kid to school thinking that people are gonna have their best interests at heart and take care of them, and this is the shit that they're doing.
29:13
SPEAKER_03: Um, I will say this, and then I also, because she also had the camera on her and recorded.
29:19
SPEAKER_03: Well, she didn't have a camera on her, she recorded herself when she went up to the school.
29:24
SPEAKER_03: I will say this: the amount of strength and advocacy and level-headedness that this woman possessed, and she went in there and demanded it's commendable.
29:37
SPEAKER_02: I still would have been beating that teacher.
29:39
SPEAKER_02: You it would have taken God Himself to prime me from that motherfucker.
29:43
SPEAKER_02: You hear me?
29:44
SPEAKER_03: Ashley, like there is no way in hell and fucking uh hey, I don't even know this woman's like family background or anything like that, and that don't even matter.
29:54
SPEAKER_03: But I'm thinking about Heyron.
29:58
SPEAKER_02: Oh, shit, I'm thinking about I'm thinking about um mom.
30:02
SPEAKER_02: Mom wouldn't go for that shit.
30:06
SPEAKER_03: So, I mean, it was a time one time uh at Joy's in Clarksville at Joy's uh old school where she had a guy where she had gotten a new teacher, and they weren't sending her uh log home every day, and it's in her IEP that they're supposed to send home a log of what she does all day because she can't tell us.
30:25
SPEAKER_03: And there was a point in time where they had stopped following the IEP and they weren't sending the log home.
30:30
SPEAKER_03: And then also a couple of times when they were putting Joy in the car when mom and TC were going to pick her up from school, the people was just like just talking, like just putting her in the car, not saying hello or speaking.
30:41
SPEAKER_03: Um, and so we had a parent meeting, and I was on Zoom because I was at work, but mom Kron, mom and K Ron were in school in person, and my mother-in-law was going off.
30:53
SPEAKER_03: And I was like, Yeah.
30:55
SPEAKER_03: So I cannot, I can't, I can't even imagine, I can't imagine how this woman kept her cool and was able to walk into that school and demand justice for her child.
31:11
SPEAKER_03: I I I would have gone into the school and fucked the front office, fuck all that shit.
31:17
SPEAKER_03: Like I would have gone right to that room and like grabbed this man.
31:21
SPEAKER_03: I would have I would be in jail.
31:23
SPEAKER_03: I would be in prison because I would have just lost it.
31:26
SPEAKER_03: I would have been temporarily insane.
31:29
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I would have clicked out too because the fact so first of all living in a society as a woman or a child is already hard.
31:47
SPEAKER_02: Living in this society as a woman or a child is already hard.
31:51
SPEAKER_02: Men in the patriarchy love to cause us harm.
31:55
SPEAKER_02: Right?
31:57
SPEAKER_02: Add that layer, two layers for this baby.
32:00
SPEAKER_02: This baby is a black male child, and this baby is a nonverbal black male child.
32:11
SPEAKER_02: Just like, you know, we talk about I don't understand how people get in certain fields.
32:17
SPEAKER_02: Like, you know, you have doctors, police officers, uh teacher, t shit, teachers that are really fucking racist or evil or sexually predatory.
32:29
SPEAKER_02: But to be that sadistic to work with a subsector of children, despite race, that are either, you know, whether it's visually impaired or, you know, uh they're autistic or down syndrome or they can't speak for themselves, like how much of a sick fucking human being do you and you wonder why.
32:50
SPEAKER_02: And you wonder why m um what is it?
32:55
SPEAKER_02: Mortuaries, not moraries, what are they called?
32:58
SPEAKER_02: Uh funeral homes, don't hire men.
33:00
SPEAKER_02: You have some states where it is extremely hard to become a male teacher.
33:05
SPEAKER_02: You you know, it it's it's men are just so I don't fucking understand.
33:11
SPEAKER_02: Not that there are not women abusers out there, that's not what I'm saying, but you know how they say it's not every man, but it's always a fucking man.
33:19
SPEAKER_02: Like I couldn't imagine.
33:22
SPEAKER_02: I could not imagine.
33:24
SPEAKER_02: But I mean, this goes back to that white lady who she if she didn't get fired from her job.
33:30
SPEAKER_02: She's just they just moved her to another hospital.
33:33
SPEAKER_02: She was breaking all of the black babies' bones, like their legs and arms in the NICU.
33:39
SPEAKER_02: These are fucking newborn babies.
33:42
SPEAKER_02: So just the thing, it's a sick sadistic bitch out there that's like, ooh, first of all, black people are not protecting in this country.
33:49
SPEAKER_02: There's no hate crimes for us, there's no reparations for us, so we're already exposed and vulnerable with an administration that's emboldened.
33:57
SPEAKER_02: But to take a child already, put them in that harm because you're a fucking sick, twisted, disgusting racist, and you need to be under a fucking jail.
34:06
SPEAKER_02: But that extra nuance of this baby don't even have a fighting chance to fight for himself.
34:14
SPEAKER_02: And this is why like I love the fact that black women typically, because a uh let's be clear, and I had this discussion with a friend the other night.
34:23
SPEAKER_02: Most white women are fucking medicated, so you're not, you know, white black women are just tapped in different.
34:31
SPEAKER_02: We're tapped in with nature, we're tapped in with each other, and we're tapped in our fucking kids.
34:36
SPEAKER_02: When I was living, when I was studying abroad in England, my mom would call me and we're eight hours apart.
34:41
SPEAKER_02: Hey, what's wrong with you?
34:42
SPEAKER_02: I felt something today.
34:44
SPEAKER_02: And I was living in England.
34:45
SPEAKER_02: I was overseas.
34:48
SPEAKER_02: So to know your child, how they pace differently, how Joy, you know, she might feel a little aggressive because this, that, and the.
34:56
SPEAKER_02: But to be that tapped in to realize, like, hey, something is wrong with my baby.
35:02
SPEAKER_02: They can't talk to me.
35:03
SPEAKER_02: I'ma figure out why.
35:05
SPEAKER_02: I commend that mother.
35:07
SPEAKER_02: And I pray to God, that motherfucker not only gets fired, but he needs to face criminal charges.
35:12
SPEAKER_02: And if he and if he don't face criminal charges, y'all niggas that want to shoot up each other, go shoot that nigga up.
35:18
SPEAKER_02: That part.
35:19
SPEAKER_02: Beat his fucking ass.
35:22
SPEAKER_03: So the biggest question is that you know has been circulating now is should in fact schools put cameras in classrooms?
35:31
SPEAKER_03: Um, I think so.
35:33
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think so.
35:34
SPEAKER_03: I definitely think so.
35:35
SPEAKER_03: And the reason why I say this is because and it's not just for, of course, it's for accountability of teachers, especially in um this particular day and age and all the shit that's you know happening in our society right now, how divided we are, especially right now with race and um um, you know, just every fucking thing, political views.
36:00
SPEAKER_03: Yes, the accountability there.
36:03
SPEAKER_03: Um, but I also think, too, with that being said, as an administrator, um, I'm also thinking about the teachers um who are at risk as well.
36:16
SPEAKER_03: So I'm gonna kind of flip things for a second because I know a lot of people say, well, yeah, you know, um these kids be with any teacher as a kids.
36:26
SPEAKER_02: Yes, honestly, you couldn't pay me to be no fucking teacher.
36:28
SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry.
36:29
SPEAKER_03: Now there's not enough money where duty badass kids.
36:32
SPEAKER_03: And the last, I would say the last, you know, I'm going into year four as an administrator.
36:38
SPEAKER_03: You do not know how many times I have had parents sitting in parent meetings and they go, This is the first time I've heard of this.
36:51
SPEAKER_03: He doesn't do this at home.
36:54
SPEAKER_03: His last school never said this.
36:56
SPEAKER_03: And we're talking about kids who are in sixth, seventh, eighth grade, not just fifth graders.
37:05
SPEAKER_03: I'm also talking about my upper school kids as well in middle school that now all of a sudden, you know, these particular things just came out of nowhere, and they're just happening, and they and you don't see none of this at home, or you can it's no way, it's no way that's happening.
37:26
SPEAKER_03: Well, when I was at home at the at the breakfast at the dinner table, I asked him, and he said that's not true.
37:35
SPEAKER_03: Miss uh so-and-so in bat, his math teacher has to be lying.
37:40
SPEAKER_03: So clearly, clearly, there is a there's a there's a there's a there's a there's a breakdown nowadays of parents and parents.
37:51
SPEAKER_02: I don't fucking know.
37:52
SPEAKER_02: And I try to be real careful with my words because I don't have children.
37:56
SPEAKER_02: But I just I just live off of my experience and how I see my friends who were teachers or because it couldn't be me, had your child, like there's a there was a teacher and I watched her story.
38:09
SPEAKER_02: She, this little black girl beat her so fucking bad her eye fell out her fucking socket.
38:14
SPEAKER_02: And she's still living with the I'm sorry, I would have stomped your child to the fucking ground.
38:20
SPEAKER_02: And I'll stomp you in the ground too if you if I saw you.
38:24
SPEAKER_02: Ain't no fucking way.
38:25
SPEAKER_02: These kids are so disrespectful.
38:26
SPEAKER_02: And then it's just like I was talking to shout out to Candace.
38:31
SPEAKER_02: Talking to her, she was just telling me we were talking about this thing called teen takeovers.
38:36
SPEAKER_02: Now, I Nashville isn't like a big, big city like a Chicago or in Atlanta or Detroit, you know.
38:43
SPEAKER_02: It's a big city, but not quite that big.
38:46
SPEAKER_02: And I think it's a cultural thing too, but I'm like, what the fuck is a teen take the teen takeover?
38:52
SPEAKER_02: She said she was in traffic getting off from work from downtown Chicago, only 20 minutes away.
38:59
SPEAKER_02: It was like a swarm, like of a thousand teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18 that just they're jumping on cars, breaking windows, storming business.
39:09
SPEAKER_02: And I looked them up.
39:10
SPEAKER_02: They're very popular in like big cities.
39:13
SPEAKER_02: Ain't no fucking way.
39:15
SPEAKER_02: And y'all wonder why y'all, as as Gen Z, it's getting really strict.
39:20
SPEAKER_02: I think Clarksville passed the law.
39:21
SPEAKER_02: Your ass can't be in the mall after a certain time and you have a certain cause they even when I went to the movies three weeks ago, it was me, a white guy, it was a black couple, and there was a gang full of teenagers that walked in.
39:34
SPEAKER_02: Super disrespectful, super riley.
39:36
SPEAKER_02: That black man stood up, I shut the fuck up.
39:38
SPEAKER_02: And they shut the fuck up.
39:40
SPEAKER_02: Because ain't don't nobody pay to be.
39:42
SPEAKER_02: We could go to the movies.
39:44
SPEAKER_02: I was getting dropped off at the movies at 11.
39:46
SPEAKER_02: But I we were not causing ruckus and our and our parents didn't drop us off nowhere without fucking money.
39:51
SPEAKER_02: We weren't going nowhere acting a fool.
39:53
SPEAKER_02: We went, you know, it's just like y'all can't even do the basic things because y'all don't know how to act.
39:57
SPEAKER_02: So yeah, that will protect the teacher.
39:59
SPEAKER_02: Cause or people that not my child, your fucking child's a menace.
40:03
SPEAKER_02: They yell at you too.
40:04
SPEAKER_02: You just keep your child on the fucking tablet or phone all day to get out your hair.
40:08
SPEAKER_03: Correct.
40:08
SPEAKER_03: So yeah, I mean, and that's the conversation I have to have with parents too, is they're like, that doesn't happen at home.
40:14
SPEAKER_03: And I have to remind them, well, home looks very different.
40:18
SPEAKER_03: You know, we are asking your child to sit in a seat amongst 30 other kids and pay attention to a lesson.
40:27
SPEAKER_03: Something that they do not, this is not a choice activity, something that they want to do.
40:32
SPEAKER_02: So and it's all day during working hours.
40:35
SPEAKER_02: You don't be home.
40:36
SPEAKER_02: We know your kids more than you fucking do.
40:39
SPEAKER_03: You don't be home with your child like that.
40:42
SPEAKER_03: So clearly, there's a disconnect on both sides.
40:45
SPEAKER_03: There's a disconnect on both sides.
40:47
SPEAKER_03: There needs to be accountability on both sides.
40:49
SPEAKER_03: And I've always said if a police officer has to wear a body cam, then yes, the classroom should have a camera.
40:58
SPEAKER_03: I just I've always I've always felt like that.
41:00
SPEAKER_03: And I've always felt like this too, as a teacher, especially in the in the high school, but now shit, elementary and middle school too.
41:09
SPEAKER_03: I've I've always felt like it would be the students were against mine once I shut my classroom door.
41:18
SPEAKER_03: They couldn't say that I did anything.
41:21
SPEAKER_03: Just because they was pissed at you that, you know.
41:23
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
41:24
SPEAKER_03: So I mean, and even like I used to just always make sure, like when I was um, you know, when I started Boys to Men, my mentoring club, that was all boys, and I was I was I was not dumb and naive, you know.
41:38
SPEAKER_03: I was a young black teacher who a lot of people thought when I first started at Kenwood, people thought I was a student.
41:47
SPEAKER_02: And you're a very attractive woman too.
41:48
SPEAKER_03: So that could have been the perception of that just yeah, and so I would always make sure, like when anytime the boys would want to come talk to me or whatever, one-on-one, I would always make sure my door was either open or we were in eyesight, like of my door, people were passing by.
42:05
SPEAKER_03: Or, you know, when I would have after school activities, K Ron would be there.
42:10
SPEAKER_03: I would, you know, try to have at least one male teacher that was there, someone else or somebody else around.
42:18
SPEAKER_03: Um, just for the sake of I just did I just always I just never wanted people to think that ill of me or something crazy was going on.
42:30
SPEAKER_03: But I've always felt that way.
42:32
SPEAKER_03: That if a if a if a student hated your guts, you told them something, then that is just one allegation away from you losing your fucking job because that's your kids word against it.
42:44
SPEAKER_02: Smart in a different way.
42:45
SPEAKER_02: These kids were in your fucking livelihood to today.
42:48
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
42:48
SPEAKER_02: We like you had people that kids like that you grew up with that were just vindictive or just like, oh, this, you know, this motherfucker is no good.
42:55
SPEAKER_02: But like these kids will change the trajectory of your life off of a fucking lie and not have no emotional qualms about it.
43:04
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
43:06
SPEAKER_02: Much like our much like our next kid, this crash thing I've been hearing about, and I don't let you talk about it because I didn't watch it.
43:12
SPEAKER_02: I kind of after I watched the entirety of the Nature Boy, I'm like, well, I need to step out of true crime for a while.
43:18
SPEAKER_02: I was having dreams about motherfucker.
43:19
SPEAKER_02: Talking about peace reflections.
43:21
SPEAKER_02: No, I said, let me step away from true crime.
43:24
SPEAKER_02: So talk about it, sis.
43:26
SPEAKER_03: Oh lord.
43:27
SPEAKER_03: So I said uh it was once again, y'all.
43:30
SPEAKER_03: I say it all the time, but I get on social media and something is just like over and over and over again.
43:35
SPEAKER_03: I'm like, God damn, like, okay, I'll check it out too.
43:39
SPEAKER_03: So I, you know, went ahead.
43:41
SPEAKER_03: It was all over my timeline.
43:43
SPEAKER_03: Um, the documentary, The Crash.
43:45
SPEAKER_03: Um, and so I love a good true crime documentary anyway.
43:50
SPEAKER_03: So it piqued my interest.
43:51
SPEAKER_03: So I was like, cool, I'll go check it out.
43:53
SPEAKER_03: Um, got into the documentary.
43:56
SPEAKER_03: I'm watching a documentary to make a long story short.
43:59
SPEAKER_03: Um, This particular young girl, her name is McKenzie.
44:03
SPEAKER_03: Am I saying it right?
44:04
SPEAKER_03: Mackenzie Sherilla.
44:05
SPEAKER_03: Sherilla, I guess you're saying, I don't know.
44:07
SPEAKER_03: Um, she was 17 at the time.
44:13
SPEAKER_03: Um, her boyfriend, I believe, was 20.
44:16
SPEAKER_03: His friend um was about 19, 18, or 19, very young.
44:22
SPEAKER_03: Um, it had like a really weird relationship.
44:27
SPEAKER_03: It started out at the beginning of the documentary.
44:30
SPEAKER_03: They were like really lovey dubby.
44:32
SPEAKER_03: Of course, he was older than her.
44:34
SPEAKER_03: When she graduated high school, she moved in with him.
44:38
SPEAKER_03: Um, that was a red flag to me, of course.
44:42
SPEAKER_03: Moved in with him.
44:44
SPEAKER_03: Um, they had been having like some, you know, back and forth.
44:48
SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna break up with you, kind of like toxic situations.
44:52
SPEAKER_03: Right.
44:53
SPEAKER_03: Um they get to, they ended up, you know, going to a friend's house one night, um, smoking, hanging out, doing a little drinking.
45:07
SPEAKER_03: Um, there were shrooms that were around, even though there was toxic toxicology reports um found that there was no shroom psychedelics in McKenzie's system at the time of the crash.
45:20
SPEAKER_03: Um, but yeah, so they ended up, you know, hanging out at the friend's house.
45:25
SPEAKER_03: Um, McKenzie gets in the car, she's the driver, her boyfriend is the passenger.
45:30
SPEAKER_03: Davion um is the friend who's in the back seat.
45:35
SPEAKER_03: Now, Davion was not supposed to ride home um with them.
45:40
SPEAKER_03: He actually changed his mind at the very last minute because he was gonna stay at that friend's house that they gathered at because he was gonna work on um the guy's car.
45:50
SPEAKER_03: But he was like, Man, you know, I'm gonna go with them, change my clothes, take a shower, and I'll be back.
45:55
SPEAKER_03: He gets in the car, and it had to be, I think it was like 5:30, 6 a.m.
46:01
SPEAKER_03: They left.
46:02
SPEAKER_03: Um, they get in the car.
46:03
SPEAKER_03: There is video footage of them turning on a street.
46:07
SPEAKER_03: Mackenzie puts her signal light on.
46:10
SPEAKER_03: The car is working fine.
46:13
SPEAKER_03: All of a fucking sudden, the damn car goes from regular speed, goes from um regular speed to up to a hundred miles an hour.
46:29
SPEAKER_03: What?
46:30
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
46:32
SPEAKER_03: Um it just like it just fucking takes off and it never swerved out of nowhere.
46:41
SPEAKER_03: There is like, so it's not like a recul reckless situation.
46:45
SPEAKER_03: Um the car did hit like a sign and then it slams right into a building.
46:54
SPEAKER_03: Um the they were in they were able to get like the box, it's like the black box report from the car.
47:03
SPEAKER_03: Um, there was nothing wrong with the brakes, there was no type of malfunction, none of that.
47:10
SPEAKER_03: The only thing that it showed, it was like the car was went from um it went from neutral park during those couple of seconds.
47:21
SPEAKER_03: And like somebody was messing with the gear shift.
47:24
SPEAKER_03: People are assuming that maybe Dom, her boyfriend, or Davion was trying to like stop the car.
47:32
SPEAKER_03: Smashes into the building, kills Dom and Davion.
47:38
SPEAKER_03: The first responders get on the scene and McKenzie is alive.
47:45
SPEAKER_03: Um Mackenzie is alive.
47:52
SPEAKER_03: She said, Yeah.
47:54
SPEAKER_03: Well, the way that the car smashed into the building, it did smash on Dom's side.
48:01
SPEAKER_03: So that's where the impact the car took the most impact on the passenger side.
48:08
SPEAKER_03: The way that, um, and this is a little graphic, I'm not gonna get into too much detail, but the way that uh Davion was positioned, um, the way that first responders found him was on top of Dom.
48:22
SPEAKER_03: Like stacked on him is how they found him in the car.
48:26
SPEAKER_03: Um Jesus Christ.
48:28
SPEAKER_03: Yes, yes, and so that's why a lot of people think that they were like trying to like stop it.
48:35
SPEAKER_02: Like they were probably arguing and trying to get change gears.
48:40
SPEAKER_03: Oh my god.
48:41
SPEAKER_03: Now here's the thing though.
48:43
SPEAKER_03: Home girl Mackenzie says that she has no recollection of what took place, all she remembers is getting in the car and waking up at the hospital.
48:59
SPEAKER_03: There's no psychedelics in her blood system.
49:04
SPEAKER_03: The only thing that they found traces of was marijuana.
49:07
SPEAKER_03: Um, but yeah.
49:10
SPEAKER_03: Now she did, her parents did, you know, try to use the fact that she has a history of Potts syndrome.
49:18
SPEAKER_03: So Potts syndrome is some type of fucking syndrome where you can lose consciousness from time to time or blackout.
49:30
SPEAKER_03: So her lawyers just might be convenient.
49:32
SPEAKER_03: Uh-huh.
49:33
SPEAKER_03: So her lawyers tried tried to use that during the trial.
49:36
SPEAKER_03: Um, it did not work.
49:38
SPEAKER_03: Um, and they still did give Mackenzie 15 years to life, and they found her at fault.
49:45
SPEAKER_03: A couple of reasons why they found her at fault, that she that they felt like she did the shit on purpose and ruled it as like a homicide.
49:52
SPEAKER_03: Um, is because she was seen.
49:56
SPEAKER_03: Um her phone was pinged at that location where she had like driven around that street a few times several days before.
50:07
SPEAKER_03: Like it seemed like she was casing out that street.
50:10
SPEAKER_03: Where to get into an accident at.
50:12
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
50:13
SPEAKER_02: Girl.
50:14
SPEAKER_03: And then also there were some text messages between her and her boyfriend, them going back and forth talking about how um she would like kill him or whatever in the car or kill them together in the car.
50:28
SPEAKER_03: The really, really sad, sad part about this whole thing, I think, is Davion.
50:35
SPEAKER_03: Um, Davion was a um a mix, he was a mixed boy.
50:41
SPEAKER_03: Um, he was adopted.
50:43
SPEAKER_03: Him and his siblings were adopted by a white couple.
50:46
SPEAKER_03: Um, they had like a really tumultuous growing up or whatever, and this white couple um adopted them to give them, you know, a chance at a new life.
50:57
SPEAKER_03: Um, Davion was a football player, he was really good in school.
51:01
SPEAKER_03: Um, and so it just kind of just like the wrong place at the wrong time type of situation.
51:08
SPEAKER_03: Um, that's who I really feel for.
51:10
SPEAKER_03: I also feel like the Netflix documentary did not do enough, and his parents and his sister are really pissed off because they feel like they didn't do enough in the documentary to shed light on who he was.
51:23
SPEAKER_03: It was kind of like glazed over.
51:26
SPEAKER_03: Um, and then the other takeaway from this is that Mackenzie is now a household name.
51:32
SPEAKER_03: This bitch is sitting in prison.
51:34
SPEAKER_03: Um, she's wearing makeup, she's getting her nails done.
51:38
SPEAKER_03: Her mom, you know, sends her money all the time.
51:41
SPEAKER_03: She's living her best life.
51:43
SPEAKER_03: She's has had several girlfriends in prison.
51:46
SPEAKER_03: Um, yeah, she's just doing her fucking thing, doing her big one in prison.
51:52
SPEAKER_03: She still says that she has dreams of being a model.
51:56
SPEAKER_03: Um, some um, she's even been caught on uh the jail phone calls saying things like, um, glad my face.
52:07
SPEAKER_03: Oh, well, no, this was not on the jail phone call.
52:10
SPEAKER_03: This is what she's allegedly said to her prison bay, um, who got out, who was in there with her.
52:17
SPEAKER_03: Um, she said, luckily my face didn't get messed up in the crash, so I could still be a model when I get out.
52:34
SPEAKER_02: The way if I was one of them young young boys, the sister I'd be ringing her ass around like oh, roping her ass like okra.
52:41
SPEAKER_02: Cause what?
52:42
SPEAKER_02: Just no empathy.
52:44
SPEAKER_02: Like none.
52:45
SPEAKER_02: Oh Jesus, here you go, and you only got first of all, you only got 15 years, you took two lives.
52:51
SPEAKER_02: It's fucking crazy.
52:54
SPEAKER_02: Fucking crazy.
52:55
SPEAKER_02: And you just non-the fucking wiser, it's a Tuesday, and you getting your coochie by Bull Deck in jail, like, what the fuck?
53:05
SPEAKER_00: Oof, girl.
53:07
SPEAKER_03: Um, and a lot of people are saying, I know I was talking to my mom and my sisters about this, um, and they were saying, you know, if this had been, you know, a black, a black teenage girl, um, we wouldn't have had no damn uh documentary.
53:21
SPEAKER_03: Hell no.
53:23
SPEAKER_03: And she would have she would have got life without parole.
53:27
SPEAKER_03: That shit would have made the news one night.
53:29
SPEAKER_03: We would have never and we wouldn't have heard nothing else about the shit ever again.
53:36
SPEAKER_03: And this is not the only documentary.
53:39
SPEAKER_03: Come to find out, there's one on fucking Hulu.
53:43
SPEAKER_03: Um, Mean Girl Murders has an episode on her.
53:47
SPEAKER_03: There's one on fucking Tubi, and there's one on YouTube.
53:57
SPEAKER_02: So Netflix, what was the fucking point?
53:59
SPEAKER_02: Y'all would rather make a bullshit documentary about Michael Jackson, who was acquainted for his crimes back in the fucking 90s, who y'all are trying to cash grab uh off of his success.
54:12
SPEAKER_02: But there's a documentary about a little bitch who nines out of ten purp purposely killed, and Dave Yon was just a residual.
54:21
SPEAKER_02: She really didn't even want to kill him, she wanted to kill his friend.
54:25
SPEAKER_02: Oh, there's an orb in here, honey.
54:27
SPEAKER_02: Oh, no, wait, no, that's not an orb.
54:29
SPEAKER_02: That's a little circle thing on my little on the cause a little bit.
54:32
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, damn, that's the perfect sphere.
54:34
SPEAKER_02: I was like, oh, whatever spirit in here, honey, hey.
54:37
SPEAKER_02: Hey.
54:37
SPEAKER_02: But um she gets another documentary special.
54:43
SPEAKER_02: Like, I that's why I was just like, I cannot wait within the next 10 to 15 years, 10 to 20 years.
54:50
SPEAKER_02: What was the propaganda y'all are trying to push for true crime?
54:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
54:54
SPEAKER_02: The shit is addictive as hell, but it's just like y'all build this sorrow for, but I mean, we're always sorrier for white people.
55:02
SPEAKER_02: That's just how we've been programmed.
55:04
SPEAKER_02: But it's just like, where are y'all trying to get at?
55:07
SPEAKER_02: Even when I think about that fucking, and I couldn't even finish it.
55:10
SPEAKER_02: I ended up finishing it later because it just pissed me off.
55:13
SPEAKER_02: That little quasi modo-looking bitch who fucking was texting her daughter.
55:20
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
55:21
SPEAKER_02: You remember that one?
55:22
SPEAKER_02: Like, that was crazy work.
55:24
SPEAKER_03: That was wild.
55:26
SPEAKER_03: That was wild.
55:28
SPEAKER_03: Um, but yeah, and then this bitch's parents is even worse than her.
55:32
SPEAKER_03: Um, that shit, the shit that they've, you know, said on camera, the things that they said during the trial, the things that they've been caught saying on the phone with her.
55:43
SPEAKER_03: It's just despicable.
55:44
SPEAKER_03: Like, it's just some disgusting ass people.
55:46
SPEAKER_03: Like her mama was caught on the phone telling her, um, laughing and saying, Can you believe it?
55:52
SPEAKER_03: Can you believe it?
55:53
SPEAKER_03: You made the daily mail, you made the daily mail.
55:56
SPEAKER_03: And then McKenzie goes, Yeah, maybe Kim Kardashian will reach out to me now.
56:01
SPEAKER_03: Everything just to get fucking clout.
56:03
SPEAKER_02: And like, did I girl?
56:06
SPEAKER_02: Social media was the worst fucking thing that happened to the internet.
56:10
SPEAKER_02: It really was.

56:14

56:42
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.

56:51
SPEAKER_02: Yes, yep.
56:52
SPEAKER_02: I have to watch it.
56:53
SPEAKER_02: But like I said, I had to get true commerce.
56:55
SPEAKER_02: I watched a 46-part documentary on hood whores.
56:58
SPEAKER_02: It was a total of like 50 hours of content and girl.
57:02
SPEAKER_03: Actually, I I tried to do that, and I was like, this is so much.
57:07
SPEAKER_03: I had to stop.
57:08
SPEAKER_03: And so I just I just did the cheat way and just watched the Hulu one for Nature Boy.
57:13
SPEAKER_03: The Hulu one fucking sucks.
57:14
SPEAKER_02: It the Hulu, but here's the thing.
57:17
SPEAKER_02: It's not like the Hulu was short and condensed.
57:20
SPEAKER_02: There were so many things that the Hulu documentary didn't even sacrificing of a fucking child, the death of a mom, a white person infiltrating this, the how Nature Boy started sleeping with transsexuals and calling them more women than women.
57:37
SPEAKER_02: Shit that you you have to really get into.
57:40
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, I'm gonna have to go back.
57:42
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.

57:47
SPEAKER_02: How other cults, how Jack Warrior Wright was involved with fucking Carbon Nation.
57:52
SPEAKER_02: How one of the members of Carbon Nation was spraying his ash, her dead son's ashes on himself and her.
57:59
SPEAKER_02: Fucking crazy.
58:00
SPEAKER_02: Hulu doesn't begin to scratch the surface.
58:04
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, I'm gonna have to go back.
58:06
SPEAKER_02: You have to take a break or something, but honey, like I said, I'm having peace reflections.

59:23
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
59:24

59:40
SPEAKER_03: I moved my headphone, sorry.
59:43
SPEAKER_03: I was like, oh.
59:44
SPEAKER_02: But um, the way he got on this breakfast club and just kind of justified all his actions and felt no remorse.
59:51
SPEAKER_02: Like, nah, nigga, you are a capitalistic ass nigga who loves white approval and you're a tap dancer.
59:58
SPEAKER_02: And you haven't been black funny in a very long time, so we leave your ass where you are, where you're at.
1:00:02
SPEAKER_02: Because I didn't forget when George Floyd died, you went to George Floyd's fucking funeral just for you to let a Jewish white man talk about this man in a way that was so fucking disgusting.
1:00:16
SPEAKER_02: I couldn't even watch this shit.
1:00:18
SPEAKER_02: Like, I think what was hard for me to watch, the fact that every black person that was in attendance wasn't laughing.
1:00:25
SPEAKER_02: Regina Hall didn't crack once more.
1:00:27
SPEAKER_02: The only thing I watched was Kevin, uh, not Kevin Hart's, um Cat Williams.
1:00:34
SPEAKER_02: Cause people were laughing, but he didn't tell one fucking joke or one lie.
1:00:38
SPEAKER_02: Nope.
1:00:40
SPEAKER_02: Like, I just, it was just disgusting.
1:00:42
SPEAKER_02: And I'm so sick of, but I that like I was telling me my friend, me and TJ talked about this.
1:00:48
SPEAKER_02: Shout out to Black Paradigm and the Family Breaming Network.
1:00:51
SPEAKER_02: Me and TJ talked about this, and it's just like the hardest thing about that, with the whole Kevin Hart in this roast, you go to realize when you're looking at these, even with my favorite makeup influencer.
1:01:05
SPEAKER_02: There's a lot of shit going on in the influencer space.
1:01:07
SPEAKER_02: Once a black celebrity or a black influencer gets to a certain point and they get to a certain tax bracket, they lose themselves.
1:01:18
SPEAKER_02: They get so infatuated with being the one and the only.
1:01:22
SPEAKER_02: They get so infatuated on laughing for white people and making them fucking happy where you forget your morals and you forget your blackness in the in the end.
1:01:30
SPEAKER_02: There will be no fucking way you would get in front of me to talk about a George Floyd, a Breonna Taylor, of I There will be no world where a joke about Trayvon Martin or Mike Brown would be fucking funny.
1:01:43
SPEAKER_02: And then you let you're and then you you you keehe in a cocaine in front of fucking white folks on a just in the guise of fucking comedy.
1:01:52
SPEAKER_02: And a lot of people, because you know what they say, comedy always has some truth to it, but y'all was saying whatever the fuck y'all want to say about black people under the guise of fucking comedy.
1:02:00
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:02:00
SPEAKER_02: So you're the same bitch that probably voted for Trump, Kevin.
1:02:03
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:02:03
SPEAKER_02: Cause you have no morals, you'll do anything.
1:02:06
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:02:06
SPEAKER_02: So I've just, like I said, Kevin Hart hasn't been funny since his first his black wife started writing his fucking jokes for him, allegedly.
1:02:12
SPEAKER_02: Fuck Kevin Hart.
1:02:14
SPEAKER_02: I was wondering very long time.
1:02:16
SPEAKER_03: I was wondering if you had uh heard him this past week on the Breakfast Club.
1:02:20
SPEAKER_03: I was wondering if he was like, Girl.
1:02:22
SPEAKER_02: And the way he was talking to Lauren LaRosa, like, just the way he was talking, interacting with Lauren LaRosa and um his answers just was snarky, like, yeah, I did it.
1:02:34
SPEAKER_02: And so what?
1:02:34
SPEAKER_02: Nigga, fuck you.
1:02:35
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:02:36
SPEAKER_02: When you piss them white folks off and you have your black wake-up call, don't come back over here.
