- 0:24Speaker 3: for tuning in. Hey, girl!
- 0:28Speaker 2: What's up?
- 0:29Speaker 1: I'm having a great day. My day is, is it
- 0:33Speaker 1: Mercury Retrograde today? Because my day has been kind of wild. Like,
- 0:38Speaker 1: I just got into a fight. Well, I didn't get
- 0:40Speaker 1: into a fight. It was like two pit bulls fighting
- 0:42Speaker 1: on the elevator. And I was like right in the middle.
- 0:45Speaker 1: I was so scared.
- 0:46Speaker 4: Were they brothers and sisters?
- 0:48Speaker 2: Like, did they belong to the same person? No, so
- 0:51Speaker 2: it was just young people.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Little tiny Asian lady with one big-ass dog and then
- 0:56Speaker 1: a black woman with the other pit.
- 0:58Speaker 3: And neither one of them had power over them dogs. Like,
- 1:01Speaker 3: they couldn't control them.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Both was pits?
- 1:05Speaker 3: Yeah, there were two pits.
- 1:06Speaker 2: I will never understand for the life of me why
- 1:08Speaker 2: anybody wants to live in an apartment building with big-ass dogs.
- 1:12Speaker 2: In a high-rise. Even having a small dog is a
- 1:14Speaker 2: bit much.
- 1:15Speaker 3: It's a stretch, right?
- 1:16Speaker 1: That's why I'm like, why y'all got these big dogs
- 1:19Speaker 1: in this building in the first fucking place? Now I'm
- 1:21Speaker 1: about to get ate up on this elevator. I was
- 1:24Speaker 1: so scared. I was pressed up against the wall. I
- 1:28Speaker 1: couldn't wait to get on my floor.
- 1:30Speaker 2: It was a race war. You know, pit bulls, black
- 1:37Speaker 2: people anyway, they like the black people of dogs. So
- 1:41Speaker 2: the Asian one is probably still like a black Asian dog.
- 1:45Speaker 3: What? See how you just always go too far?
- 1:51Speaker 2: He was adopted.
- 1:51Speaker 3: It was Memorial Weekend. What'd you do?
- 1:53Speaker 2: I didn't do much. This weekend was nasty. Why the
- 1:58Speaker 2: fuck was it like 50 degrees outside?
- 2:00Speaker 1: Yeah, it was so cold outside. No pool party, no nothing.
- 2:04Speaker 1: But listen, I would have been out there looking like Charlotte.
- 2:09Speaker 3: No, which one had the bush on... Oh, Samantha.
- 2:14Speaker 2: It wasn't Samantha. Nobody wants to fuck Grady's pussy.
- 2:19Speaker 3: It was the redhead.
- 2:20Speaker 1: She was all laying out on Mexico and she had
- 2:22Speaker 1: like the hair poking out her bikini.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Oh, I forgot her name.
- 2:25Speaker 3: Miranda.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Miranda.
- 2:27Speaker 3: I would have been out there like Miranda anyway.
- 2:29Speaker 4: You ain't have no wax to see wax lady off.
- 2:35Speaker 2: She quit.
- 2:35Speaker 3: I told you my wax lady quit.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Oh, shame. She ain't doing it at the house.
- 2:40Speaker 1: I'm trying to get her to do a house call.
- 2:42Speaker 1: I told her I'd pay extra to come out of retirement.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Shit, you got the stock bitches now. They do a
- 2:47Speaker 2: good job on your services.
- 2:49Speaker 3: Yeah, she quick and fast and painless.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't do much this weekend, man, because it
- 2:54Speaker 2: was so nasty out. So I did eat a lot.
- 2:56Speaker 2: I feel like I gained like five pounds this weekend
- 2:58Speaker 2: being in the house. Just fucking eating. It was my
- 3:00Speaker 2: friend's birthday, so we just hung out this weekend. I
- 3:03Speaker 2: didn't do much. My birthday is next week, bitch. Gemini
- 3:06Speaker 2: season for y'all. Hate your hoes.
- 3:08Speaker 3: How? Listen.
- 3:10Speaker 2: It's me and Kanye birthday next Thursday. Plan some, bitch.
- 3:15Speaker 2: I don't know. I might do a little something. I
- 3:18Speaker 2: didn't get my photo shoot together. Now, remember I told
- 3:20Speaker 2: you I wanted to do... I'm not going to tell
- 3:21Speaker 2: people because I don't want people to take my idea.
- 3:22Speaker 3: Yeah, still do it.
- 3:23Speaker 2: But I'm still going to do it.
- 3:24Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:26Speaker 2: I actually found somebody who has some... I don't know
- 3:29Speaker 2: why this bitch got dresses, but she does. Like some
- 3:34Speaker 2: cosplay shit. I'm going to... And my kids are going
- 3:37Speaker 2: to have that up in their goddamn house above the fireplace.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Looking like some old scary Tales from the Hood shit.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Bitch, I've been around here for a long time. This
- 3:47Speaker 2: ain't my first life. This is my last one, though.
- 3:49Speaker 2: I ain't coming back to this ghetto-ass planet. No, bitch.
- 3:53Speaker 2: This is it for me. That's it, bitch. I'm a
- 3:56Speaker 2: life path number nine. That's it for me. I'm out.
- 3:59Speaker 2: I'm sick of it. This shit is ghetto. You know
- 4:02Speaker 2: what I'm saying? I already know I'm going to live
- 4:04Speaker 2: until I'm like 95 years old. I got a long
- 4:07Speaker 2: time to deal with these ghetto ass people on this planet.
- 4:09Speaker 1: I want to go on a vacation for my birthday,
- 4:11Speaker 1: but I ain't got no bae. I cried about it
- 4:14Speaker 1: last night. I was sitting out.
- 4:15Speaker 2: I started crying.
- 4:17Speaker 1: I can't believe this milestone birthday of 25 is happening.
- 4:23Speaker 2: And I don't have a nigga.
- 4:25Speaker 4: Damn.
- 4:26Speaker 2: But you can have one. You know what I'm saying?
- 4:31Speaker 2: And Tam, that's the episode I want to do. Why
- 4:33Speaker 2: is it bad for women to be single? We got
- 4:36Speaker 2: to do that episode. Like, what the fuck? Why do
- 4:39Speaker 2: we get teased and shunned for being single? Single women
- 4:42Speaker 2: of leisure.
- 4:43Speaker 3: Right.
- 4:46Speaker 2: But niggas can be on Instagram with their dick print
- 4:48Speaker 2: out and every single picture and it's okay. Like they
- 4:51Speaker 2: could be thirst trapping and got a million bitches in
- 4:53Speaker 2: their comments and it's cool for them to be single
- 4:56Speaker 2: and unwed out here.
- 4:57Speaker 3: I love a good dick print picture. Me too.
- 5:01Speaker 2: I'm so fucking managed, bitch.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Yeah, me too.
- 5:03Speaker 2: And I want... Send them. Send the dick.
- 5:06Speaker 3: No, no, no.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Don't send no unsolicited dicks. No, I don't want that.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Because you're going to have all kinds of weird looking penises.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Anytime I get shit like that, it's fucking creep.
- 5:11Speaker 3: Yeah, it's weird penises.
- 5:13Speaker 2: And I'm going to report you. And I might start
- 5:15Speaker 2: making like a little collage of y'all little ugly.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Little dick look like a funnel. Like, why is it.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Little ugly.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Look like a funnel.
- 5:23Speaker 3: God damn, that shit weird.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Little ugly. Let's get into stupid internet dudes, bitch.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Yo, while over the weekend, Danny Lee was in Miami,
- 5:35Speaker 1: your favorite yellow bone bitch, and got a motherfucking DUI
- 5:40Speaker 1: and a hit and run charge, bitch.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Three felony charges.
- 5:42Speaker 2: He was a yellow bone. Shame.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Yeah. That's wild.
- 5:47Speaker 1: She was DUI, swerving in and out of lanes, as
- 5:51Speaker 1: one witness says. And she hit someone on a motorized
- 5:54Speaker 1: scooter and drug the moped. down the street for a
- 5:58Speaker 1: block before someone flagged down a police officer. And apparently, uh, allegedly, uh,
- 6:04Speaker 1: the person, uh, suffered some spinal injuries.
- 6:08Speaker 2: So, um, she felt that she left the scene.
- 6:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:11Speaker 1: And I don't need, she probably had her own music
- 6:13Speaker 1: turned up so loud in the car that she didn't
- 6:15Speaker 1: even realize.
- 6:16Speaker 4: That she hit somebody. Not you hitting people on the bike.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Right.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Bumping. She we want to light skin.
- 6:26Speaker 3: Girl.
- 6:27Speaker 2: You know, I do not like making fun of people's misfortune.
- 6:31Speaker 2: I've driven a car drunk before.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Me too. That's what I'm saying.
- 6:35Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. And I definitely try not to
- 6:37Speaker 2: drive when I'm drinking. At all.
- 6:39Speaker 3: When I seen this, I was like, Lord, thank you
- 6:41Speaker 3: for grace and mercy.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Because I know it's been many times that I done
- 6:45Speaker 1: had my stupid ass behind that wheel.
- 6:47Speaker 3: I wasn't listening to Danny Lee.
- 6:49Speaker 1: I was listening to something else, but I still made
- 6:51Speaker 1: that bad decision. That's why my heart goes out to
- 6:53Speaker 1: her because it could have happened to any one of us.
- 6:56Speaker 1: And now, but here's the thing. In my 20s, we
- 7:00Speaker 1: didn't have Uber and Lyft. And this bitch could actually
- 7:03Speaker 1: have a private driver if.
- 7:04Speaker 3: She want to. She could afford that, you know? Maybe
- 7:07Speaker 3: she can.
- 7:08Speaker 2: We be assuming these people have all this money, and
- 7:10Speaker 2: oftentimes they don't. She can afford a Lyft. She can
- 7:14Speaker 2: definitely afford a Lyft. But to have a personal driver,
- 7:17Speaker 2: she might get it for that.
- 7:18Speaker 1: If she can't get a personal driver, she can get Lyft,
- 7:22Speaker 1: black car, or a regular Lyft.
- 7:24Speaker 3: Get a Corolla to pick your ass up.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Where's your home, girls? Where's your friends? Where's your baby daddy?
- 7:31Speaker 3: So my heart goes out to her because she might
- 7:33Speaker 3: be about to sit down for me.
- 7:34Speaker 2: No, girl. My heart goes out to the goddamn victim.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Why did you leave the scene? That's usually when people
- 7:39Speaker 2: get into more trouble. She probably panicked. Check on the
- 7:41Speaker 2: person that you hit.
- 7:42Speaker 3: She probably panicked.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Yeah, but you thought you weren't going to get caught?
- 7:46Speaker 2: And you aren't... Who was that? I know Brandy. Didn't
- 7:49Speaker 2: Brandy kill somebody in an accident?
- 7:51Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, she did.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Before? Look, Brandy... Brandy ain't who we think. Brandy done
- 7:56Speaker 2: took a nigga eye out. Brandy done was trying to fight.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Adina Howard over a grown-ass man before. Brandy ain't who
- 8:04Speaker 1: we think. Brandy done killed a nigga. I don't want notes,
- 8:07Speaker 1: but Brandy, if you listen to the show, we're a
- 8:10Speaker 1: fan of you here. And we don't want no problems
- 8:12Speaker 1: with you girls. Brandy, get your ass the fuck up.
- 8:14Speaker 2: I need all my eyes.
- 8:17Speaker 3: Even the little gimpy one.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Brandy threw a book at a nigga and took his
- 8:23Speaker 2: eye out. Like, you may not have Brandy money to
- 8:26Speaker 2: get off on this shit, ma'am. And who else? Somebody else...
- 8:30Speaker 2: Was it Jenner? Didn't the dad, what's his name? He's
- 8:36Speaker 2: a woman now, Caitlyn. Didn't Caitlyn Jenner kill somebody on
- 8:38Speaker 2: the highway once?
- 8:40Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Yeah, and hit and run, I believe, also. I don't know. Damn, Danny.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Sorry to the victim. I hope they survive, and I
- 8:50Speaker 1: hope they get back to 100% after this experience.
- 8:55Speaker 2: I hope Danny won't have to sit down too long.
- 8:58Speaker 1: But if she do, I hope some good music come
- 9:00Speaker 1: out of it, at least.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Bitch, you better get to writing.
- 9:04Speaker 3: Right.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Shame. Okay, y'all. So listen, one of my favorite couples, well,
- 9:08Speaker 2: I won't say that because I did want that nigga
- 9:10Speaker 2: at one point. And I might still want that nigga.
- 9:12Speaker 2: I'm going to add him to my list of niggas
- 9:13Speaker 2: I want. So apparently, so the streets are saying that
- 9:18Speaker 2: Mag the Stallion and Party Fontaine, Partisan Fontaine, are no
- 9:24Speaker 2: longer a thing, right? As she was spotted. This past
- 9:28Speaker 2: weekend at a wedding with this French soccer player, Romelu Kukaku.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Is that how you pronounce his name?
- 9:38Speaker 3: He French?
- 9:40Speaker 2: Romelu Kukaku. I mean, I'm pretty sure he's African, but he.
- 9:44Speaker 3: He from France?
- 9:46Speaker 2: Yeah. And she even had a lyric in one of
- 9:50Speaker 2: her songs, girl, I saw on Twitter. She was like,
- 9:54Speaker 2: she got a little European bae I'm here for it
- 9:57Speaker 2: listen she might have been talking about him then girl
- 10:00Speaker 2: I done.
- 10:01Speaker 3: Had me a little French soccer player Remember? Remember? Remember, girl?
- 10:07Speaker 2: Was it Disney? No, it wasn't that one. I want
- 10:12Speaker 2: a new one. Girl, the internet is mad. The internet
- 10:14Speaker 2: is mad. It seems like the men are more mad
- 10:16Speaker 2: at Meg than women. Men are very salty about her
- 10:21Speaker 2: breaking up. Why the fuck do y'all care? It didn't
- 10:26Speaker 2: work out. You don't know why they broke up. Maybe
- 10:29Speaker 2: the thing with Tory Lanez put a strain on their
- 10:32Speaker 2: relationship and she is clear to move on and so
- 10:35Speaker 2: is he. What's the problem? And people are also assuming
- 10:39Speaker 2: at him that her and this guy are actually together.
- 10:43Speaker 2: They were photographed touching each other's arms. Kind of intimate
- 10:47Speaker 2: at a wedding, you know?
- 10:49Speaker 3: You know what?
- 10:49Speaker 1: I hate the world sometimes because imagine people always photographing
- 10:53Speaker 1: every move that you made. Like, damn, I can't even
- 10:56Speaker 1: touch this new nigga without it being like all over.
- 10:59Speaker 1: Bitches with podcasts talking about it. It's all over the blog.
- 11:02Speaker 3: Like, damn, that shit sound wild.
- 11:05Speaker 2: Bitch, if we ain't talk about you, you ain't famous though.
- 11:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess you're right.
- 11:08Speaker 2: There's that part. Yeah. So I know she wants people
- 11:12Speaker 2: to talk about her. You don't want people to not
- 11:13Speaker 2: be talking about you, but you want people to be
- 11:15Speaker 2: talking about you in a positive light. always. The boy
- 11:20Speaker 2: girls are mad for some reason.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Speaking of getting people taking pictures of you, there was
- 11:25Speaker 1: pictures of YG and Sweetie booed up in Mexico this
- 11:33Speaker 1: past weekend enjoying some time together. She looks so pretty
- 11:37Speaker 1: without makeup on.
- 11:38Speaker 3: I think she's even prettier.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Even when she had that short hair, she looked really nice.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Yeah, she is so beautiful.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Does she know it though?
- 11:47Speaker 3: Mmm.
- 11:49Speaker 1: I think she knows I think she knows YG I
- 11:53Speaker 1: just I don't know him personally I don't see them
- 11:56Speaker 1: two together but maybe he's like a phenomenal person.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Y'all remember when I don't know if it was Boss
- 12:04Speaker 2: Up or if it was The Shade Room or if
- 12:07Speaker 2: it was The Mother Blogs they basically did some detective
- 12:11Speaker 2: work and made the connection that Sweetie was actually on
- 12:15Speaker 2: a shopping date with Lil Baby And she was sitting
- 12:18Speaker 2: on this nigga lap like in Prada or something like that.
- 12:20Speaker 2: And like the store people called Jada. You remember that?
- 12:24Speaker 2: That was like last year, year before maybe. Girl, like
- 12:28Speaker 2: it's the most randomest niggas for me.
- 12:31Speaker 3: You talking about going from baby to YG?
- 12:35Speaker 2: Yeah, like I don't know who I see for her,
- 12:37Speaker 2: but not these niggas. It's kind of weird. And I
- 12:41Speaker 2: feel like the internet is kind of on the same
- 12:42Speaker 2: type of time. I'm reading some of the comments and
- 12:44Speaker 2: people are like, They acting like that's they homegirl and
- 12:47Speaker 2: they disappointed or something.
- 12:49Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:49Speaker 2: That's her coochie. I mean, she free to do whatever
- 12:51Speaker 2: with it. But I don't know. I see her with.
- 12:54Speaker 2: I don't know who I see her with. Maybe she isn't.
- 12:57Speaker 2: I don't know who I see her with. Who do
- 12:59Speaker 2: you think Sweetie should be with? What type of guy
- 13:01Speaker 2: you think that she would date? I think maybe those
- 13:04Speaker 2: people online. I don't think so. I think that would
- 13:08Speaker 2: be a better look for her. Maybe it'll be a
- 13:13Speaker 2: better look, but that may not be the type of
- 13:14Speaker 2: guys that she likes. She does have like a little
- 13:16Speaker 2: bap-ish little look. Like baps.
- 13:19Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Booyah.
- 13:20Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
- 13:21Speaker 2: Yeah. So she probably into like the hood niggas, street niggas,
- 13:26Speaker 2: you know, those type of guys.
- 13:28Speaker 3: I don't know. I can't put my finger on that.
- 13:31Speaker 2: You know what?
- 13:32Speaker 1: I'm more concerned with- Kind of all purpose.
- 13:34Speaker 3: I'm more concerned with finding a nigga for me, honestly.
- 13:37Speaker 1: I have like- My birthday coming, I need a baby
- 13:40Speaker 1: for my vacation.
- 13:41Speaker 2: Girl, you can have a nigga tomorrow. Cut it out.
- 13:44Speaker 3: A nigga I actually like, though. That's the thing.
- 13:47Speaker 1: I can't pick one of these niggas and go on
- 13:48Speaker 1: a trip with, but I just want to.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Actually be miserable the whole time. Why are you talking?
- 13:52Speaker 1: I don't want to have to tolerate a nigga like, damn,
- 13:55Speaker 1: he woke up again.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want that. Why are you breathing?
- 14:01Speaker 3: So, I don't know.
- 14:05Speaker 2: So listen, I saw this post and this is like
- 14:06Speaker 2: some real stupid internet news to me anyway. There's this
- 14:11Speaker 2: podcast called The Unbothered Podcast and it's ran by two.
- 14:16Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 14:17Speaker 2: I don't know if these guys are black. No, actually
- 14:19Speaker 2: they're Asian, I believe, right? Asian descent maybe. So the
- 14:22Speaker 2: one guy, I think his name is Thomas on social media,
- 14:27Speaker 2: but I don't want to give too much clout to
- 14:33Speaker 2: their ass. Anyway. But they were talking about, obviously he
- 14:38Speaker 2: does nails. So he's in the cosmetic industry, right? He's
- 14:40Speaker 2: in the services industry. He was talking about your waxes
- 14:42Speaker 2: and shit like that. So now he basically was saying
- 14:46Speaker 2: like he doesn't understand why nail techs aren't charging more.
- 14:49Speaker 2: People pay more. People pay so much money for all
- 14:51Speaker 2: these other services like hair and waxing and all this stuff. Estheticians,
- 14:57Speaker 2: why are people complaining basically about having to spend so
- 15:03Speaker 2: much money for nails? I do remember a time when
- 15:07Speaker 2: a full set was $ 25, $ 35. Now that shit is upwards,
- 15:10Speaker 2: you know, $ 100 plus for some basic shit. Even if
- 15:13Speaker 2: you get like a basic jail... Like, how much is that?
- 15:16Speaker 3: $ 70?
- 15:16Speaker 2: You get your shit done. I don't get my.
- 15:17Speaker 1: About $ 70, $ 75.
- 15:19Speaker 2: I feel like that's wild to me. It is because
- 15:23Speaker 2: I've never just consistently gotten those type of services. So
- 15:26Speaker 2: this guy... to me the target market for the nails
- 15:30Speaker 2: and the hair and all that shit is always like
- 15:32Speaker 2: black women. We know we, that's a multi-billion dollar industry.
- 15:35Speaker 2: We pay a lot into it. So the other guests
- 15:39Speaker 2: on the podcast goes and goes to say, um, the
- 15:42Speaker 2: first guy starts, he's like, um, this is going to
- 15:44Speaker 2: hurt a lot of feelings. Um, but y'all get all
- 15:47Speaker 2: these other things done. Nail techs basically cutting themselves short
- 15:50Speaker 2: by chart, by not charging a hundred dollars plus for fingernails.
- 15:54Speaker 2: And the guy with the next guy was like, um, Yeah,
- 15:57Speaker 2: they got to sit there and listen to y'all baby
- 15:59Speaker 2: daddy issues, smelling all the chemicals and getting carpal tunnel
- 16:04Speaker 2: on they wrists and all that shit. Like, who are
- 16:05Speaker 2: y'all talking about? Why are we still fucking with these people?
- 16:09Speaker 2: There's enough black women that's doing nails out here at
- 16:13Speaker 2: this point. Get out them people's shops.
- 16:15Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, so.
- 16:18Speaker 1: obviously going too crazy with the price because it's your fingernails, right?
- 16:21Speaker 1: So if you go so high, who going to come
- 16:24Speaker 1: to you? I'm not coming to you if you go
- 16:25Speaker 1: that high with your price.
- 16:27Speaker 3: It's fingernails.
- 16:29Speaker 2: And they don't last as long as they used to either. Yeah.
- 16:32Speaker 2: So you should be lifting all the little shit come off. Quick,
- 16:36Speaker 2: but y'all charging more money.
- 16:37Speaker 1: Now, my girl, my nail's been on for a month,
- 16:40Speaker 1: and I ain't got a feeling yet.
- 16:42Speaker 3: She's the beast niece, okay? She's really good, but.
- 16:45Speaker 2: Is she a black girl?
- 16:46Speaker 3: No, she Asian girl. She definitely Asian girl. She blackish,
- 16:52Speaker 3: very blackish.
- 16:55Speaker 2: So basically, these guys want to charge black women more.
- 16:58Speaker 2: That's what I'm hearing. That's what I heard, because anytime
- 17:00Speaker 2: I hear baby daddy or any other black colloquialism... colloquialism. Yes,
- 17:09Speaker 2: I said it right the first time. Anytime I hear
- 17:11Speaker 2: that type of shit, I already know y'all are exclusively
- 17:14Speaker 2: talking about black men and black women. But we aren't
- 17:17Speaker 2: the only people that get our nails done. But y'all
- 17:19Speaker 2: are in our neighborhoods oftentimes. So we are the ones
- 17:22Speaker 2: patronizing y'all businesses. And the disrespect we get is fucking,
- 17:26Speaker 2: it's just unwarranted. So, I don't know. Maybe, I don't know.
- 17:31Speaker 2: We have to have some type of exodus. Like, stop
- 17:34Speaker 2: fucking with these people, man. Only spend money with your people.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Because they only spend money with their people in a
- 17:38Speaker 2: real way. Like, say, for instance, I had a nail
- 17:41Speaker 2: supply company, right? And my shit was 10 cents cheaper
- 17:45Speaker 2: than Asians. They would still shop with their people as
- 17:48Speaker 2: opposed to coming with me. That's how they do group economics.
- 17:52Speaker 2: We don't practice that. We will cut each other's throat
- 17:55Speaker 2: to get the sale. You know what I'm saying? And
- 17:58Speaker 2: if my prices change over here, their prices change. They
- 18:01Speaker 2: always stay aligned.
- 18:02Speaker 3: It's the thing.
- 18:03Speaker 1: It's the crabs in the bucket mentality, right, for black people.
- 18:06Speaker 1: But it's only that way because crabs don't belong in
- 18:09Speaker 1: a bucket.
- 18:10Speaker 2: I know the same, but at some point we got
- 18:13Speaker 2: to take accountability for what's going on. Yeah, we understand
- 18:16Speaker 2: all the things that are against us. But a lot
- 18:18Speaker 2: of this stuff we can change overnight in a real
- 18:20Speaker 2: fucking way. The power is in the dollar. Yeah.
- 18:23Speaker 3: I agree there now. I agree there. Yeah.
- 18:25Speaker 2: A lot of this shit we can change overnight because
- 18:27Speaker 2: not only are we like the number one consumers, right?
- 18:31Speaker 2: We are like the number one, like workers. We work,
- 18:37Speaker 2: we work the most and we spend the most money.
- 18:40Speaker 2: If we stop spending.
- 18:41Speaker 3: And don't be on this shit.
- 18:44Speaker 2: Exactly. You know what I'm saying? We just stopped spending
- 18:47Speaker 2: for a day. It'll never happen. So we just preach
- 18:50Speaker 2: it to the choir. But I found that post very offensive. Yeah,
- 18:54Speaker 2: I was offended by it too. A lot of black
- 18:55Speaker 2: women were in the comments more enthusiastic about this guy's
- 18:59Speaker 2: voice because he had like a real deep voice. So
- 19:03Speaker 2: y'all just missed the diss.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Yeah, because he sound like an all-state nigga. Like, relax.
- 19:07Speaker 3: This nigga just called y'all baby mama drama. Like, mm-mm.
- 19:14Speaker 3: My girl don't do that. She cool.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Y'all, speaking of women and men, we're going to talk
- 19:21Speaker 1: about how women have to pay more.
- 19:23Speaker 3: We pay more, just period. So we're going to come.
- 19:26Speaker 2: We pay more to have a pussy. Yeah.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Even as little girls, the price is up. We'll be
- 19:32Speaker 1: right back, y'all.
- 19:36Speaker 2: And we're back, y'all. Thank you for tuning in to
- 19:39Speaker 2: We Talk Back TV. if it's for.
- 19:42Speaker 1: YouTube too okay y'all listen we got on robes today
- 19:45Speaker 1: because we was like you know what I'm not putting
- 19:47Speaker 1: on no fucking clothes for this episode bitch I don't I'm.
- 19:50Speaker 2: About to run out of clothes let's be clear I'm
- 19:52Speaker 2: going into regular daily wears like shit I wear to
- 19:54Speaker 2: brunch and why not see it a couple times why
- 19:58Speaker 2: not period it's expensive to be a woman like people
- 20:03Speaker 2: expect you to look It's so expensive to be a woman. Like,
- 20:06Speaker 2: a movie star every day, especially in this line of work.
- 20:08Speaker 3: And you know what? I knew it was expensive to
- 20:11Speaker 3: be a woman.
- 20:11Speaker 1: And then once we got on this topic, I didn't
- 20:14Speaker 1: realize that we were paying more than men for the
- 20:17Speaker 1: same shit.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Yep.
- 20:19Speaker 3: And that kind of upset me a little bit.
- 20:20Speaker 2: Yeah, it's predatory as far as I'm concerned. Did y'all
- 20:24Speaker 2: know there's such a thing as a pink tax, apparently?
- 20:28Speaker 2: And it's worldwide. It's not just here in the United States.
- 20:31Speaker 2: But women... generally pay more for our products, no matter
- 20:37Speaker 2: what it is, really. And it's literally because of the marketing.
- 20:41Speaker 2: So if it's pink in a pink box, there's an
- 20:44Speaker 2: actual tax budget, but then also pink is associated with women.
- 20:47Speaker 2: So if it's for a woman, it's going to cost
- 20:50Speaker 2: you more.
- 20:51Speaker 1: So it says that women spend an extra $ 1, 300 per
- 20:55Speaker 1: year for essentially the exact same products as men.
- 21:00Speaker 2: That's messed up.
- 21:01Speaker 1: So over a 78-year lifespan, you're going to end up
- 21:05Speaker 1: spending like $ 100, 000 more than men on essentially the same products.
- 21:11Speaker 2: So if I buy a laxative?
- 21:15Speaker 1: All right, so listen. I got a list from HuffPost
- 21:19Speaker 1: of seven things that women pay more for that's weird
- 21:24Speaker 1: than men that's essentially the same shit. So one of
- 21:28Speaker 1: them is laxatives. So the woman's laxative is $ 3. 69 and
- 21:34Speaker 1: the men's laxative is $ 1.
- 21:36Speaker 3: 49.
- 21:37Speaker 2: But isn't the women's laxative supposed to be made like
- 21:40Speaker 2: a more easier on your digestive system product? Like shouldn't
- 21:45Speaker 2: it have less ingredients then? Why are we paying more
- 21:47Speaker 2: for it?
- 21:47Speaker 1: This shit say they both got five milligrams of Bicicotal.
- 21:50Speaker 1: I don't know if that's how you say it.
- 21:52Speaker 2: Bicycle.
- 21:53Speaker 3: Bicycle.
- 21:55Speaker 1: But it's essentially more. At least a dollar and some
- 21:58Speaker 1: change more for a women's The doo-doo. For a woman,
- 22:02Speaker 1: a doo-doo is more expensive.
- 22:05Speaker 3: Then, hold on. Earplugs.
- 22:07Speaker 1: A woman's earplugs was $ 5.
- 22:11Speaker 3: 79.
- 22:12Speaker 1: And the men's earplugs was $ 4.
- 22:15Speaker 3: 59.
- 22:16Speaker 2: But why? Is it a different color?
- 22:18Speaker 1: One is purple and one is blue. But what difference
- 22:21Speaker 1: does it make? It's just for women. So, fuck us, apparently.
- 22:28Speaker 1: There was a hotel kid. With essentially the same things
- 22:31Speaker 1: in it. It had refreshing wipes, a razor, shaving cream, toothpaste,
- 22:37Speaker 1: a toothbrush, some aloe vera cream, shampoo, and foot gel.
- 22:41Speaker 1: In both of them, one was pink, one was blue.
- 22:44Speaker 1: The man's was $ 7.
- 22:46Speaker 3: 59.
- 22:46Speaker 1: The woman's was $ 9. 99.
- 22:48Speaker 2: That's wild.
- 22:50Speaker 1: Got the same shit in it. $ 2. 40 more because she
- 22:53Speaker 1: has a pussy.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Next is ankle support. And this is why we should
- 22:58Speaker 2: charge a usage tax for the pussy.
- 23:01Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 23:02Speaker 2: Listen to this.
- 23:03Speaker 3: It's ankle support. It's literally one.
- 23:05Speaker 1: The females is white, but the box is purple that
- 23:07Speaker 1: it comes in. The man's is black and it has
- 23:10Speaker 1: a blue box. His is $ 17.
- 23:12Speaker 2: 99.
- 23:12Speaker 3: The woman's is $ 26. 99. This is appalling.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Same shit. And then listen, it even goes into our kids.
- 23:21Speaker 1: A kid's bike helmet is one that's pink and one
- 23:24Speaker 1: that's blue. The pink one is $ 25. 49, and the blue
- 23:29Speaker 1: one is $ 20. 49.
- 23:31Speaker 3: They hate us.
- 23:32Speaker 2: I think black people have a tax too now, because
- 23:34Speaker 2: you know black dick in the stores costs more than
- 23:37Speaker 2: the white dick.
- 23:38Speaker 3: Wait, what?
- 23:40Speaker 2: Like in the sex stores. If you get a black
- 23:44Speaker 2: strap on, it costs more than the white strap on.
- 23:45Speaker 2: And you know this because? I saw it in the store.
- 23:50Speaker 2: Black shit costs more. So we got like double whammy. Yes,
- 23:55Speaker 2: black and white. If I want to buy some black dick,
- 24:00Speaker 2: I got to pay more for it.
- 24:01Speaker 3: Black dick is going for $ 40. Here you go.
- 24:06Speaker 2: White dick is $ 20. I'm not going to play our
- 24:09Speaker 2: brothers like that. They dick cost a little more. Oh, shit.
- 24:13Speaker 3: Sorry.
- 24:16Speaker 2: So what is the pink tax? Okay, the pink tax
- 24:19Speaker 2: is a markup. on products that are marketed to women,
- 24:24Speaker 2: while men pay less for similar products or the same product.
- 24:28Speaker 2: Sometimes the only difference is the color of the product,
- 24:30Speaker 2: which we just discussed, with the pink item being marked
- 24:33Speaker 2: toward women, while the exact same item is blue, black,
- 24:37Speaker 2: or gray is marketed towards men. The fact that there's
- 24:40Speaker 2: no real difference between the products in these cases shows
- 24:43Speaker 2: how simply purchasing something designed for women can be more
- 24:47Speaker 2: costly than opting for items for men alone. I do
- 24:51Speaker 2: buy them in shavers. I did realize.
- 24:53Speaker 3: For your beard?
- 24:54Speaker 2: Bitch, I'll kill you. For my legs, because it gives
- 24:58Speaker 2: a closer shave. I pluck my beard, I'll have you know,
- 25:02Speaker 2: in the sunlight. We talked about that before. Best place,
- 25:05Speaker 2: about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, in the car before
- 25:07Speaker 2: you drive off.
- 25:08Speaker 1: I have bought some facial hair one time.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Don't do that. Don't do it ever.
- 25:14Speaker 3: But it was so funny. I was at my guy
- 25:16Speaker 3: friend's house.
- 25:16Speaker 1: This is just my platonic male friend's house. I was
- 25:19Speaker 1: at his house in Atlanta. And I had to put
- 25:21Speaker 1: it on my lip, right? And I had a little
- 25:24Speaker 1: spot on my chin that I put it on, too.
- 25:25Speaker 3: But I just drug it down. He was like, God damn, bitch.
- 25:29Speaker 2: You got a goatee? And I didn't even realize what
- 25:33Speaker 2: I had done to my face.
- 25:35Speaker 3: Okay, I'm sorry.
- 25:36Speaker 1: That was random. But I did have a Nair goatee
- 25:39Speaker 1: on my face.
- 25:40Speaker 2: That shit burns. I remember I put Nair on my
- 25:43Speaker 2: mustache because I get a little fuss. Most women do.
- 25:46Speaker 2: I heard women with little mustaches got good pussies. It
- 25:50Speaker 2: burned my top lip.
- 25:51Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that shit burned me up. I would never
- 25:54Speaker 1: do that again. I would never do that again. That
- 25:56Speaker 1: was a mistake. It was facial Nair, but it burned
- 26:00Speaker 1: so bad. I already know I'm going to have a
- 26:02Speaker 1: goatee when I get old. My grandma, I used to
- 26:05Speaker 1: have to go shave her shit once a month. So
- 26:07Speaker 1: I know mine ain't going to come in.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Stupid. So the pink tax is not a myth, it says.
- 26:13Speaker 2: It's very real and continues to be a major issue
- 26:15Speaker 2: for consumers. In 2015, the New York City Department of
- 26:18Speaker 2: Consumer Affairs conducted a study of almost 800 products. The
- 26:22Speaker 2: findings detail that women's products cost more than men's 42%
- 26:26Speaker 2: of the time. Yet by comparison, men's products are more
- 26:30Speaker 2: expensive than women's only 18% of the time. In fact,
- 26:33Speaker 2: women's items tend to be an average of 7% more
- 26:38Speaker 2: expensive than similar products marketed towards men. So on average,
- 26:43Speaker 2: we're paying 7% more for our products. So it's expensive
- 26:48Speaker 2: to be a woman. That's essentially what we're talking about today.
- 26:51Speaker 2: Shit isn't fucking cheap. So when you see us, y'all
- 26:53Speaker 2: want fresh shaved pussies, fresh waxes. How much does your
- 26:57Speaker 2: wax cost? Because I don't get wax. I always do shave.
- 26:59Speaker 1: So my wax girl has a really good deal, honestly.
- 27:02Speaker 1: You can get your eyebrows and your wax for $ 75
- 27:07Speaker 1: right now. So that's actually pretty good because most people
- 27:10Speaker 1: just charge $ 75 for the wax alone.
- 27:12Speaker 2: How much do you pay for the eyebrow wax? Because
- 27:15Speaker 2: the prices, when I looked for lists online that show
- 27:19Speaker 2: how much women are generally paying for certain services, And
- 27:24Speaker 2: I saw $ 5. I know damn well.
- 27:25Speaker 3: Oh, no, that's not right.
- 27:27Speaker 1: Nobody's paying $ 5 for their eyebrows. But I get my
- 27:30Speaker 1: eyebrows waxed and tinted. But I get all of that
- 27:36Speaker 1: with my Coochie wax for $ 75.
- 27:38Speaker 3: Really? I told her she need to go up on
- 27:41Speaker 3: her prices. She too cheap.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Nah, she can go up on everybody else.
- 27:45Speaker 3: No, even me too. I pay, you know, I pay
- 27:47Speaker 3: what I want.
- 27:48Speaker 2: You tipper.
- 27:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I tipper good.
- 27:50Speaker 2: I don't think I'm that, I'm not that high maintenance. Like,
- 27:52Speaker 2: I don't go get the nails done. I only have, like,
- 27:56Speaker 2: my eyebrows grow kind of funny.
- 27:59Speaker 3: You should get microblading then.
- 28:00Speaker 2: I don't want that.
- 28:01Speaker 3: No? No.
- 28:02Speaker 2: Because I like to change the shape of my brows sometimes.
- 28:05Speaker 2: So I don't want it to be like a permanent look.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Sometimes I want them a little thicker. Sometimes I want
- 28:10Speaker 2: them thinner. So I have that option. My eyebrows go,
- 28:12Speaker 2: you know how people be cutting them slashes in their eyebrows?
- 28:15Speaker 2: Like my shit grow like that. So I got four eyebrows.
- 28:17Speaker 1: Three cuts in your eyebrows trying to wild out.
- 28:20Speaker 2: Yes. So I have to just cut one side off
- 28:22Speaker 2: and I'll just shade the whole shit in. But I
- 28:25Speaker 2: use strip lashes. So I don't go get lashes.
- 28:28Speaker 1: So you don't spend a lot. My maintenance a month
- 28:32Speaker 1: is kind of expensive.
- 28:33Speaker 2: How much do you think?
- 28:34Speaker 1: Because I get lashes done. And that's $ 120 by itself.
- 28:38Speaker 1: And that's every two weeks. My nails are about $ 90.
- 28:40Speaker 1: That's just my hand. Then I also get my feet done.
- 28:44Speaker 1: So that's about another $ 50. Then I get my coochie
- 28:48Speaker 1: wax and my eyebrows done.
- 28:49Speaker 3: That's $ 75.
- 28:49Speaker 2: And that's monthly?
- 28:51Speaker 3: Yeah. No, all right.
- 28:52Speaker 1: So the lashes are twice a month. So that's $ 240.
- 28:58Speaker 1: Then vagina every two weeks. That's $ 75 every time. So
- 29:04Speaker 1: that's $ 150. Then nails.
- 29:07Speaker 2: I need help.
- 29:09Speaker 3: Help me. I'm poor.
- 29:10Speaker 2: You're a financial analyst.
- 29:12Speaker 3: I know. I spend a lot of money just on upkeep.
- 29:14Speaker 1: And that doesn't include buying clothes, my hair. Then let's
- 29:21Speaker 1: say I want to pay somebody to do my fucking makeup.
- 29:24Speaker 1: That's another, what, $ 120, $ 50?
- 29:26Speaker 2: I did not want to pay $ 200. We almost paid
- 29:29Speaker 2: $ 300 for makeup, actually. Some shit you're going to wipe
- 29:32Speaker 2: off at the end of the day. And I understand
- 29:33Speaker 2: why some women sleep with their shit on. Like, can
- 29:35Speaker 2: I at least get 48 hours at this face.
- 29:38Speaker 1: Uh-uh i see i don't like first of all the
- 29:40Speaker 1: way i sleep i'll never wake up with the whole
- 29:42Speaker 1: face on anyways me in the pillow yeah like a
- 29:45Speaker 1: imprint of one side of my face right hello so
- 29:48Speaker 1: it's just no point in me trying to sleep in
- 29:49Speaker 1: it but yeah it is very very expensive and then
- 29:53Speaker 1: to hear that i'm already spending this much And then
- 29:56Speaker 1: if I need an ankle brace, I got to pay
- 29:59Speaker 1: $ 4 more than a man for the same shit. It's
- 30:01Speaker 1: wild to me.
- 30:02Speaker 2: So I know when we were getting ready for the
- 30:04Speaker 2: live show, while I was up, 2 o'clock in the morning,
- 30:08Speaker 2: before I had to travel to Atlanta, I said, you
- 30:10Speaker 2: know what? I need to learn how to delegate some shit.
- 30:14Speaker 2: I can't do all the things myself. So I do
- 30:17Speaker 2: my own hair. You know, the more we start doing
- 30:19Speaker 2: this shit, of course, I'm going to have to get
- 30:21Speaker 2: somebody to do some of this shit because it's time-consuming.
- 30:23Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 30:25Speaker 2: Do I like to be like primped up and catered
- 30:28Speaker 2: to by someone? Yeah, I like when I get my
- 30:29Speaker 2: makeup done and stuff like that. But the feet thing,
- 30:32Speaker 2: every time I went to get a pedicure, my toenails
- 30:36Speaker 2: began fucked up.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Really?
- 30:37Speaker 2: Like falling off and shit like that.
- 30:40Speaker 3: Really?
- 30:40Speaker 2: I have had my toenails fall off at least three
- 30:43Speaker 2: times in life. And I mean all of the toenails
- 30:45Speaker 2: just come off.
- 30:46Speaker 3: All of them off your whole foot?
- 30:48Speaker 2: Yes. Swear to God. Like they just get some type
- 30:51Speaker 2: of fungus and they lift up.
- 30:54Speaker 3: That's happened to me. They're so thin then. They must
- 30:56Speaker 3: be very thin.
- 30:56Speaker 2: No, my toenails are very thick. I receive the fungus
- 31:00Speaker 2: every time I went to get a damn pedicure.
- 31:02Speaker 3: That's wild.
- 31:03Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
- 31:04Speaker 2: So my skin is sensitive, so I can't be just
- 31:06Speaker 2: fucking around.
- 31:07Speaker 3: Putting your foot in anybody's bowl. Yeah.
- 31:09Speaker 1: But I just imagine where you're going to the same
- 31:12Speaker 1: place each time?
- 31:13Speaker 2: No, different places because I'm still only getting a pedicure,
- 31:15Speaker 2: I don't know, twice a year or some shit. In
- 31:16Speaker 2: between time, like when I take a shower, I scrub
- 31:19Speaker 2: my feet. I have like the little... Mm-hmm. little stone
- 31:22Speaker 2: in the shower. So I'm always exfoliating my feet.
- 31:25Speaker 3: So what else?
- 31:26Speaker 2: You know, I go to get it cleaned up, get
- 31:28Speaker 2: the cuticle cleaned up.
- 31:29Speaker 3: But you don't put polish on your toes at all?
- 31:31Speaker 2: I do. I polish them myself. But sometimes I want to.
- 31:34Speaker 3: And you don't wax your vagina?
- 31:35Speaker 2: No, I shave. The times I went to get waxed, no.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Baby, when I shaved my coochie and I didn't grow back,
- 31:42Speaker 1: I'll be like... That shit itch.
- 31:45Speaker 2: The first time when I was like middle school or
- 31:47Speaker 2: high school, the first time I ever shaved my coochie, yes,
- 31:51Speaker 2: it itched. But the more you do it is not
- 31:53Speaker 2: even a thing. The hair grows back less. Getting waxed,
- 31:57Speaker 2: I get ingrown hairs.
- 31:58Speaker 3: Oh, that can't happen. I use Tinskin for that.
- 32:00Speaker 2: Yeah, Tinskin works.
- 32:02Speaker 1: But, baby, if I shave, I'll be right in the
- 32:04Speaker 1: grocery store scratching my pussy on the aisle trying to make.
- 32:07Speaker 2: Sure ain't nobody looking at me. You make me sick.
- 32:12Speaker 2: I cannot shave it. Don't nobody got no time for that.
- 32:15Speaker 1: It's uncomfortable. I just like the way, like, when you wax...
- 32:20Speaker 1: It just feel like baby smooth down there.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Yeah, but it feels like that when you get a
- 32:24Speaker 2: fresh shave. But when it grow back.
- 32:28Speaker 3: When you get a fresh shave.
- 32:31Speaker 1: The only thing uncomfortable about waxing is having somebody who's
- 32:35Speaker 1: not eating your pussy that close to it.
- 32:37Speaker 3: It's so wild to me.
- 32:38Speaker 2: Like, girl, you is really.
- 32:40Speaker 1: My girl really be all up in there.
- 32:42Speaker 2: I saw a post one time. And the girl was like,
- 32:47Speaker 2: you know, sometimes she be wanting her wax lady to
- 32:49Speaker 2: lick her pussy.
- 32:51Speaker 3: That is wild.
- 32:54Speaker 2: That is wild.
- 32:55Speaker 3: Why?
- 32:55Speaker 2: That's weird. If I was her wax lady and saw
- 33:00Speaker 2: that shit, I would immediately cancel her ass off. You
- 33:02Speaker 2: cannot make no more appointments. You sexually harassing me.
- 33:06Speaker 1: I asked my wax lady in England, what was the
- 33:10Speaker 1: most embarrassing experience she had doing the wax? And she
- 33:13Speaker 1: said that, all right, so some people use hard wax
- 33:15Speaker 1: where it's just like you actually rip off the wax.
- 33:18Speaker 1: And then some people put the paper down, right? Most
- 33:21Speaker 1: people don't do that no more, I don't think.
- 33:22Speaker 3: But I don't know. I might be wrong.
- 33:24Speaker 2: I feel like, like, so the place, where did I
- 33:26Speaker 2: go to get my last wax when I was getting
- 33:28Speaker 2: the wax? Chrissy.
- 33:31Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. She used the hard.
- 33:33Speaker 2: Crystal here in Charlotte. But I also went to, what
- 33:36Speaker 2: is the chain for waxing?
- 33:38Speaker 3: European Wax or something like that?
- 33:39Speaker 2: Yeah. They still use.
- 33:41Speaker 3: Yeah, the strips?
- 33:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 33:43Speaker 1: Get somebody else to do it. But let me tell
- 33:45Speaker 1: you what she did. She said she actually put the
- 33:47Speaker 1: strip down. And, you know, people go and get waxes
- 33:50Speaker 1: while they're on their cycle, which is, I don't know
- 33:53Speaker 1: why you would do that.
- 33:53Speaker 3: No.
- 33:54Speaker 1: Because what's the point? Ain't nobody going to be down
- 33:56Speaker 1: there right now. Just wait until it's over. But she
- 33:59Speaker 1: accidentally caught the string on the strip. So when she
- 34:03Speaker 1: ripped it up, she ripped a bitch tampon out her coochie,
- 34:06Speaker 1: and it hit the wall and smeared and slid down
- 34:09Speaker 1: the wall.
- 34:12Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 34:13Speaker 2: That's nasty.
- 34:14Speaker 3: Mortified. Mortified.
- 34:16Speaker 1: If I was that woman... What the fuck is happening?
- 34:18Speaker 1: I'm suing this place.
- 34:20Speaker 3: Why?
- 34:21Speaker 2: Why'd you just reschedule? First of all, you can't use
- 34:23Speaker 2: your pussy. You're supposed to wait 24 hours after wax.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Right.
- 34:26Speaker 2: Before you have sex also. I don't know.
- 34:27Speaker 3: And then why are you doing.
- 34:28Speaker 2: I think people be getting fresh waxes for a date
- 34:31Speaker 2: to have sex that night.
- 34:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 34:32Speaker 2: That's kind of dangerous because your pores are open. You're
- 34:35Speaker 2: opening yourself up to more bacteria transfer. Right.
- 34:39Speaker 3: Especially... He probably got all kind of hair on his shit.
- 34:42Speaker 2: I like a good manscape now.
- 34:44Speaker 3: Yeah, me too.
- 34:45Speaker 2: I like manscape.
- 34:45Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm sure that was mortifying for both of them.
- 34:49Speaker 4: Right.
- 34:49Speaker 3: All right, back to the pink tax.
- 34:50Speaker 1: So a federal bill, the Pink Tax Repeal Act has
- 34:54Speaker 1: been introduced several times in different iterations.
- 34:58Speaker 3: I think that's what that says. Iterations. I don't know
- 35:02Speaker 3: what that means, but.
- 35:03Speaker 2: What? Like, yeah, different.
- 35:05Speaker 1: I get what it means, but I've never.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Used iterations in a sentence. I apologize.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Since 2016, most recently in 2021, but it's never been
- 35:14Speaker 1: passed because men don't care.
- 35:17Speaker 2: That's what about, but they care about us having abortions
- 35:20Speaker 2: and everything else. Like, I feel like tampons, all that
- 35:22Speaker 2: shit should be free.
- 35:23Speaker 3: It should be. Why are we paying.
- 35:25Speaker 2: For something we have to use? Could you imagine if
- 35:27Speaker 2: we just stopped buying them and just walk around leaking?
- 35:29Speaker 3: Leaking all over the place?
- 35:30Speaker 2: Then that's a problem.
- 35:31Speaker 3: Right. I bet you if men had periods, tampons would
- 35:36Speaker 3: be free.
- 35:36Speaker 2: It'd be free, yeah. So maybe the women who are
- 35:39Speaker 2: in legislation, like the women who are in politics, they're
- 35:43Speaker 2: not lobbying for the right things, apparently.
- 35:46Speaker 1: It seems like they have. They have, and they just
- 35:49Speaker 1: keep getting shut down.
- 35:50Speaker 2: Well, you know why? Because there's some old-ass ladies ultimately
- 35:53Speaker 2: in there still having to make the decisions, so they
- 35:55Speaker 2: don't got to deal with that shit no more. They
- 35:56Speaker 2: ain't had a period since 1940.
- 35:58Speaker 1: But I know them bitches need an ankle brace and
- 36:01Speaker 1: them shits is a little higher.
- 36:05Speaker 2: You know, women even pay more for health care. We
- 36:07Speaker 2: pay more for life insurance because we are living longer.
- 36:10Speaker 3: Right.
- 36:11Speaker 2: Right. So we got to keep a bigger nest egg,
- 36:14Speaker 2: all these different things. So it's very, very expensive to
- 36:17Speaker 2: be a woman in comparison to a man. So that's
- 36:19Speaker 2: why we should charge for the sex.
- 36:23Speaker 3: What?
- 36:24Speaker 1: See, sometimes I be feeling like you really going somewhere
- 36:28Speaker 1: and then you just come out of there out of
- 36:30Speaker 1: nowhere with the paper person.
- 36:32Speaker 2: Men are always trying to compare themselves to women. Like, okay,
- 36:35Speaker 2: we understand that we aren't equal, right? Obviously, now we
- 36:38Speaker 2: really see the data. You know, but it's the other
- 36:41Speaker 2: way around from what we thought. Like, we're really paying
- 36:44Speaker 2: more to breathe. We really pay more to fucking live.
- 36:47Speaker 3: I agree. You know what I hate? When a nigga
- 36:51Speaker 3: be like, just wear your natural hair.
- 36:55Speaker 2: Just wear your natural hair. You know how long it
- 36:57Speaker 2: take to get that natural hair to look nice?
- 36:59Speaker 1: And then, like, when I do it, now you trying
- 37:01Speaker 1: to have sex with me like all crazy. No, this
- 37:03Speaker 1: wrap need to stay. Like, this what you wanted, ain't it?
- 37:06Speaker 1: This what you wanted?
- 37:07Speaker 2: Don't touch this shit, nigga.
- 37:09Speaker 3: Don't come over here like that. You want me to
- 37:11Speaker 3: wash the dishes? What? Steve, no. You wanted my hair natural.
- 37:15Speaker 2: You wash the dishes, my boy.
- 37:16Speaker 3: Right.
- 37:17Speaker 2: So now it's taking me, I don't know, 30, 40
- 37:19Speaker 2: minutes longer to go outside. Now you're complaining about that.
- 37:22Speaker 3: Right.
- 37:23Speaker 2: It's taking me longer to get dressed. Like, it takes
- 37:25Speaker 2: a lot. Y'all don't really want natural hair. Y'all really
- 37:29Speaker 2: don't want natural hair.
- 37:30Speaker 3: Some of them do. But y'all don't want mine. I
- 37:33Speaker 3: promise you.
- 37:34Speaker 2: I got teddy bear hair. They definitely don't want this hair.
- 37:37Speaker 2: This is straight teddy bear hair. It's soft as fuck,
- 37:43Speaker 2: but that shit is fuzzy as hell. You don't want
- 37:45Speaker 2: this hair.
- 37:45Speaker 3: Fuzzy wuzzy.
- 37:46Speaker 2: I'm sorry. That was funny. I saw a clip just
- 37:54Speaker 2: recently on Instagram. A woman, she was at a convention
- 37:57Speaker 2: or something. She asked the guys what type of hair
- 38:00Speaker 2: they prefer. A lot of them were saying curly. A
- 38:03Speaker 2: lot of black women's hair are not just naturally curly.
- 38:05Speaker 2: There's a lot of manipulation that takes place to get
- 38:08Speaker 2: it to look like that. And I feel like maybe...
- 38:10Speaker 2: our generation in particular, like our parents started us off
- 38:13Speaker 2: with perms and jerry curls and shit like that. Fucked
- 38:16Speaker 2: us all the way up. Now the next generation, like
- 38:18Speaker 2: our kids, like my friends, their children, they have natural hair.
- 38:21Speaker 1: Their relationship with their hair is so different than ours
- 38:24Speaker 1: was growing up because my friend's daughter just went in
- 38:27Speaker 1: the bathroom and cut her hair into a little mini.
- 38:29Speaker 3: Afro and then was like, Period. You know? And I
- 38:33Speaker 3: was like.
- 38:33Speaker 2: I'll tell you. Bitch, I would never. I would have
- 38:38Speaker 2: never done that.
- 38:39Speaker 1: Even now, I wouldn't do that because I just don't
- 38:41Speaker 1: feel like I have the face structure for it. But
- 38:44Speaker 1: as a young girl in high school, I would have
- 38:46Speaker 1: never been so comfortable with my hair.
- 38:47Speaker 3: So I applaud them for that. I envy it.
- 38:50Speaker 2: They feel like it's just hair.
- 38:51Speaker 1: I envy and admire that attitude towards your hair because
- 38:54Speaker 1: we just don't.
- 38:55Speaker 3: I don't have that.
- 38:56Speaker 2: Girl, the one time I got my hair done and nothing,
- 38:58Speaker 2: I was definitely going through life. and I still look
- 39:01Speaker 2: back at that picture sometimes just to make sure I
- 39:03Speaker 2: don't go back there.
- 39:05Speaker 1: Bitch I was fucked up are like women who you
- 39:09Speaker 1: know it's some security that I just I don't know
- 39:12Speaker 1: if I'll ever have like women who be like just
- 39:14Speaker 1: when it go gray just let it go gray.
- 39:18Speaker 2: I don't have any gray hair just let it go
- 39:20Speaker 2: I keep getting one gray hair on my coochie popping
- 39:23Speaker 2: out and then one on my middle finger on my
- 39:25Speaker 2: left hand keep.
- 39:26Speaker 1: Popping out you only got one gray hair on your
- 39:27Speaker 1: coochie yes You're doing good out here.
- 39:29Speaker 2: I don't have none on my head. Y'all can't see
- 39:32Speaker 2: it because I keep it way going, but it's really
- 39:34Speaker 2: not gray underneath there. I have to see to believe that.
- 39:37Speaker 3: Whatever.
- 39:38Speaker 2: Tammy did my hair one fucking time, and I told
- 39:40Speaker 2: you this. I don't have no gray now. She started lying. Uh-huh. Yes,
- 39:43Speaker 2: you do, because when I was doing your hair, I
- 39:45Speaker 2: saw some in the back. Bitch, you a liar. There
- 39:47Speaker 2: was about four of them in the back. I saw them.
- 39:49Speaker 3: You a damn liar. They was fuzzy.
- 39:51Speaker 2: Fuzzy wuzzy. Bitch, don't think I get married to make
- 39:55Speaker 2: sure I'm not an old bitch yet. I act.
- 40:00Speaker 1: First of all you can gray prematurely okay first of all.
- 40:03Speaker 2: I asked my mom the other day like when did
- 40:04Speaker 2: she start graying and she was like um in her
- 40:07Speaker 2: 30s and you know i think kids having kids has
- 40:10Speaker 2: something to do with that it speeds up because i
- 40:12Speaker 2: have two friends who had kids really young and they
- 40:15Speaker 2: got rheumatoid arthritis right now they're younger than.
- 40:17Speaker 1: Me damn yeah i have a friend she uh started
- 40:21Speaker 1: graying when we were like in high school it's just
- 40:23Speaker 1: hereditary she just had a gray streak in the front
- 40:25Speaker 1: of her head and now like as we're like fresh
- 40:29Speaker 1: fresh out of college you know it is more oh
- 40:32Speaker 1: it's beautiful it's beautiful now it's like white it's not
- 40:35Speaker 1: even gray it's just white hair if i.
- 40:37Speaker 2: Have that nasty ugly brassy looking gray then maybe i
- 40:40Speaker 2: would color it but if i have like that nice
- 40:42Speaker 2: gray i'm well.
- 40:43Speaker 1: That can be manipulated though to be like silver fox
- 40:47Speaker 1: if you want to.
- 40:48Speaker 2: I would want that i don't mind getting.
- 40:50Speaker 3: Older I'm not dealing with it well.
- 40:53Speaker 2: I just need an M before it happens. That's all
- 40:55Speaker 2: I be concerned about.
- 40:56Speaker 3: You need a what?
- 40:56Speaker 2: A couple M's.
- 40:58Speaker 4: Okay.
- 40:58Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck how old I am if
- 40:59Speaker 2: I got a couple M's.
- 41:01Speaker 3: My hair always going to be black. Jet black. I'm
- 41:04Speaker 3: going to be 82.
- 41:05Speaker 2: Put that shit in there. Yep.
- 41:07Speaker 3: Put that shit in there.
- 41:08Speaker 2: The old lady I had living with me, y'all, she
- 41:11Speaker 2: would be at the gym like it was a spa day.
- 41:13Speaker 2: I mean, all day. She in there perming. This is
- 41:16Speaker 2: an 83-year-old lady at the time. And it wasn't until
- 41:20Speaker 2: I spoke to her like last year, like she would be,
- 41:22Speaker 2: she's 87 now. She just started wearing her gray hair. Oh,
- 41:27Speaker 2: she was like, I lit my gray hair, girl.
- 41:30Speaker 3: That's me. That's me.
- 41:31Speaker 2: She was making that hair black as hell, jet black. Girl,
- 41:34Speaker 2: if you don't sit your old ass down somewhere.
- 41:36Speaker 1: Yeah, see, that's how I found out I had a
- 41:39Speaker 1: gray coochie hair. Somebody was down there. He was like, oh,
- 41:41Speaker 1: you got a gray hair. And I was like, nigga,
- 41:43Speaker 1: is your hair a salad or are you eating?
- 41:47Speaker 3: The fuck?
- 41:50Speaker 2: I'm like, this session is over.
- 41:52Speaker 1: You trying to ruin my night, nigga. I thought we
- 41:54Speaker 1: was having fun together.
- 41:57Speaker 2: All right.
- 41:58Speaker 1: So back to are we going to go back to
- 41:59Speaker 1: the big text? We keep running off on the tangent
- 42:01Speaker 1: about being.
- 42:02Speaker 2: I don't like that. I got a big problem with that.
- 42:04Speaker 2: And I feel like somebody has to be able to
- 42:06Speaker 2: do something about it, because why are we paying more
- 42:09Speaker 2: for the basic necessities?
- 42:11Speaker 3: Right.
- 42:11Speaker 2: Why are we still paying for pads and tampons and
- 42:16Speaker 2: shit like that? Why? It's not fair.
- 42:20Speaker 3: What do you do, though?
- 42:21Speaker 2: We have to get the right people in place. We
- 42:23Speaker 2: need younger people. Or we just walk around and protest.
- 42:29Speaker 2: Just bleed everywhere.
- 42:30Speaker 3: Just bleed everywhere? Yes. Gross. I like the first option better.
- 42:37Speaker 3: That sounds very uncomfortable.
- 42:39Speaker 2: Or those cups. Do you use the cups?
- 42:41Speaker 3: The diva cup? I tried it.
- 42:43Speaker 2: I use the, what do they call it? Something ring.
- 42:48Speaker 2: It's not a diva cup. It's kind of the same thing,
- 42:50Speaker 2: but it's like a ring. It almost looks like a.
- 42:54Speaker 3: A condom kind of that you shoot up there?
- 42:56Speaker 2: Yeah, not a condom, but it has like a plastic
- 42:59Speaker 2: ring at the top. Soft cups is what they call them.
- 43:02Speaker 2: Soft cups.
- 43:03Speaker 3: That's the brand name.
- 43:04Speaker 2: Yeah, essentially. But Diva Cups, you can rinse them out
- 43:07Speaker 2: and use them again. These, you only can use it
- 43:09Speaker 2: for 12 hours, and then you got to throw it out.
- 43:12Speaker 2: It's messy, but you get a whole lot of them.
- 43:15Speaker 2: You get like 30 of them.
- 43:16Speaker 3: But you realize that.
- 43:17Speaker 2: You can use it all day, basically.
- 43:18Speaker 1: But you realize that you're really not bleeding that much, honestly,
- 43:23Speaker 1: with those cups.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Mine be kind of heavy sometimes. I don't want to
- 43:26Speaker 2: get into that.
- 43:28Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's still not as much as I thought
- 43:31Speaker 1: that it was every time.
- 43:32Speaker 3: It's really not that much when you use that cup.
- 43:34Speaker 3: But it's just disgusting. I don't like it. Some people
- 43:37Speaker 3: swear by them.
- 43:38Speaker 2: Yeah, because I feel like when I use the cups,
- 43:40Speaker 2: my cycle stops sooner. It's like four days as opposed
- 43:44Speaker 2: to six if I'm using a tampon.
- 43:46Speaker 3: I be in there disgusting with myself.
- 43:49Speaker 2: Like there's a murder scene in this bitch.
- 43:52Speaker 1: I don't like it.
- 43:55Speaker 2: I like the cups. You can have sex with them,
- 43:57Speaker 2: they say. I've never tried it.
- 43:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 44:00Speaker 3: Excuse me, what?
- 44:01Speaker 2: It's just like the NuvaRing. You know, you remember the
- 44:04Speaker 2: birth control NuvaRing? Mm-hmm. Yeah, you can have sex with
- 44:08Speaker 2: the NuvaRing. It goes up around right at your cervix,
- 44:11Speaker 2: at the top of your cervix, but you can have
- 44:12Speaker 2: sex with the soft cuffs.
- 44:15Speaker 3: And it's because it's catching everything.
- 44:17Speaker 2: Right, so there's a ring, and then there's like a
- 44:18Speaker 2: piece of plastic.
- 44:20Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. First of all, something about that
- 44:23Speaker 1: don't just sit right with me.
- 44:24Speaker 2: I've never had sex on my, I mean, look, while
- 44:28Speaker 2: using that thing. Let's be clear.
- 44:34Speaker 1: Listen, my grandma said he ain't no soldier if he
- 44:38Speaker 1: can't fight a bloody war.
- 44:39Speaker 3: Ah!
- 44:40Speaker 1: She was getting senile by that time.
- 44:43Speaker 2: I love old senile people. I was like, excuse me, what?
- 44:46Speaker 2: Y'all be having no fucking filter. They be saying anything. Yeah.
- 44:49Speaker 3: That was appalled. Grandma, what?
- 44:52Speaker 2: I know my homeboy Mark listens to the show, right?
- 44:54Speaker 2: But I met his, she's since passed away. His grandma
- 44:57Speaker 2: was like, I don't know, 105 years old at the time.
- 45:00Speaker 2: And she was like moving like lightning through the house, girl.
- 45:03Speaker 2: And she was down at the end of the hallway like.
- 45:07Speaker 2: trying to get me to, they're like, no, don't go
- 45:08Speaker 2: down there. She gonna feel you up. She gonna try
- 45:12Speaker 2: to feel you up. And I wanted to go because
- 45:16Speaker 2: I wanted to see what she wanted to, like, talk
- 45:18Speaker 2: to me about. But she probably wanted to.
- 45:20Speaker 3: Pat you in the pussy?
- 45:21Speaker 2: Yes, or something. You didn't go?
- 45:23Speaker 3: No.
- 45:24Speaker 2: But I wanted to, though. Not so she could pat
- 45:26Speaker 2: my pussy, but.
- 45:27Speaker 3: Just to see what.
- 45:28Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, but they was like, no,
- 45:30Speaker 2: don't go down the hallway, girl. She going to try
- 45:32Speaker 2: to get you. And she was never a lesbian. So
- 45:35Speaker 2: maybe I think maybe you lose that filter. Maybe she
- 45:39Speaker 2: always wanted to be one.
- 45:41Speaker 3: You know?
- 45:42Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 45:42Speaker 3: She probably lived in a time where it wasn't okay.
- 45:44Speaker 2: Look, filter out Mark's name. I don't know if I'm
- 45:47Speaker 2: feeling some type of way. I'm talking about his grandma
- 45:48Speaker 2: like that. Great grandma.
- 45:51Speaker 1: Having sex on a cycle is just.
- 45:54Speaker 2: Yeah, so I mean, being a woman is super fucking lit, man.
- 45:57Speaker 2: But it's expensive. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
- 45:58Speaker 3: Me either. I would always want to be a woman.
- 46:01Speaker 2: And so for all those men out there who want
- 46:03Speaker 2: to be a woman, y'all need to look into them
- 46:04Speaker 2: paying tax, y'all. We used to pay a lot of
- 46:05Speaker 2: money to be a damn woman.
- 46:07Speaker 3: Well, you know.
- 46:09Speaker 1: I would be a man for a day if I could.
- 46:11Speaker 3: All right, that's going somewhere else.
- 46:14Speaker 1: That's another episode for another day.
- 46:17Speaker 2: For another day. Yeah, I'm tired of squatting.
- 46:20Speaker 3: What do you mean? Over the toilet.
- 46:21Speaker 2: And like that pee sometimes don't go the right way.
- 46:24Speaker 1: Yesterday we went to Morton's.
- 46:27Speaker 3: Should I tell that?
- 46:28Speaker 2: No, I don't care.
- 46:29Speaker 3: So she was like. Her coochie lips got stuck together.
- 46:33Speaker 3: When she peed, it kind of got on her leg.
- 46:36Speaker 2: It's never positioned the same way. It's never positioned the
- 46:38Speaker 2: same way. So sometimes you start to squat and that
- 46:40Speaker 2: shit start going to the left or to the right.
- 46:43Speaker 2: And now you got to pee down your leg. So
- 46:45Speaker 2: in those instances, I do wish I had a dick.
- 46:47Speaker 2: I can just pull it out.
- 46:48Speaker 3: They got this thing that you can put up against
- 46:51Speaker 3: your vagina.
- 46:51Speaker 2: That probably costs $ 1, 000. Can I get the plastic little
- 46:54Speaker 2: piss cup?
- 46:54Speaker 3: And it makes it go like a man's penis into
- 46:57Speaker 3: the toilet.
- 46:58Speaker 2: I want that. Because a lot knows I hate using
- 47:00Speaker 2: public restrooms. But when you have to, in those cases,
- 47:03Speaker 2: you can't fucking hold it. Yeah, I wish I did.
- 47:06Speaker 3: Yeah. That's another episode.
- 47:10Speaker 2: But it's lit being a woman, y'all. I wouldn't have
- 47:12Speaker 2: it no other way.
- 47:12Speaker 3: Period.
