  Speaker 2: Well, donkey of the day for Tuesday, September 29th is
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: going to everybody on social media who has decided to
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: make the homie Jasmine Guy a target. Yes, the good
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: sister Jasmine Guy has reprised her role as Whitley Gilbert
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: on a different world sequel now playing on Netflix.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Drop on the clues bombs for the different world sequel
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: on Netflix. She was 31.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: When the show ended in 1993 and she is 64
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: years old now in 2026. And for some reason, people
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: on social media have just discovered this thing that's going
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to happen to all of us.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: If you're blessed and it's called aging. Okay.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know when y'all decided that aging was some
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: type of character flaw, but let's discuss this morning because
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I'm always down for a teachable moment. So from what
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I gather, uh, social media was critiquing Jasmine guys appearance.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: And so she decided to reply with a post on
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: social media, uh, Let's go to Entertainment Tonight to hear
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: what she had to say.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I was so excited to hear that they were bringing
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: A Different World back. I love that the OGs get
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to come back, too. That's been a lot of fun.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Jasmine's back at Hillman College as Whitley Gilbert-Wayne for Netflix's
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: all-new take on A Different World. And her older appearance?
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Patching her some strays online. With critics questioning the way
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: she's aging. For the record, she's 64.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I was trying to do the math, but I'm not
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: good at math, I think. I know I was 25
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: when I got A Different World.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Jasmine taking to the gram after the reboot's premiere, showing
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: off her getting glam for a party scene, and writing,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the internet can be brutal to women as we grow older.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: It asks us to celebrate life while criticizing every sign
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: that we've lived it. Growing older brings change, and I
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: won't pretend every change is easy. But beauty, style, and
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: joy don't have an expiration date. Let's spend less time
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: judging ourselves and each other, and more time loving each other,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: making memories, and living the life we're here to live.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: First of all, Jasmine Guy is beautiful inside and out. Okay,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: she's just a beautiful spirit.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Second of all, Jasmine Guy is 64 years old. 64!
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: And you heathens online are discussing how she looks now
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: compared to how she looked as Whitley Gilbert on A
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Different World in 1988? You mean to tell me a woman,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a person, looks different in 2026 than they did in 1988? Well,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: somebody call Scooby-Doo and the gang because we got ourselves
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: a mystery to solve.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: If you are sitting around asking yourself... What happened to
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Jasmine Guy? The answer is time, Mother Effa.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Okay? Time happened. Alright?
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: The same thing that's happening to you, me, him, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: her right now.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Even today he's got to age. Okay?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: When I was young, I made fun of people being
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: old too. But I quickly realized that every single one
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: of us has a birthday. And if you're blessed, you
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: will receive as many birthdays as possible.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Okay? I don't understand people making fun of somebody for
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: getting older. Simply because.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: As you're typing about somebody aging, you're aging while you
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: type it, okay? You started that tweet younger than you
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: finished it, all right? Every second you're roasting somebody's wrinkles,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you're getting closer to your own. And some of y'all
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: need to stop worrying about Jasmine Guy's face and start
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: worrying about your knees, okay?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: You're talking about Whitley don't look the same. Neither do you,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: all right? You watched A Different World when it originally aired.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You couldn't even get off the couch this weekend without
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: making a noise. OK, if you was binge watching a
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: different world, I know you had to get up to
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: stretch between episodes. Your ankles cracking, lower back hurting. You
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: got reading glasses sitting on top of your regular glasses
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: talking about what happened to Japan guy age. OK, and
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: it's going to happen to you, too, if you're blessed.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: All right. You remember.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Whitley gilbert young because television you know froze her there
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: okay whitley gilbert is permanently young in those episodes you
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: can turn on an old episode tomorrow and young whitley
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: gilbert will be there okay so your memory of jasmine
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: guy didn't age but jasmine guy did and that's okay
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: all praises do to god that the human being who
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: played whitley gilbert is still alive that's a blessing OK,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and we've created this ridiculous situation for women where they
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: can't win, where they can't win.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: If a woman gets older naturally, people say, damn, what
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: happened to her? OK, if she gets Botox, damn, why
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: did she do that to her face? If she gets
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: a facelift and you say she should have just kept
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: it natural and age gracefully.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: What the hell do y'all want?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Because apparently the y'all aging gracefully means getting older without
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: actually aging.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Looking older. Okay, that's not aging gracefully, all right?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: You want somebody to be 64 with a 34-year-old face
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and somehow accomplish it naturally? how okay don't get me
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: wrong genetics do play a part but some people need
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: more than prayer and shea butter okay at some point
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: gravity is gonna collect his debt and you know this
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: isn't even me saying cosmetic surgery is wrong either if
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: somebody wants botox get your botox you want fillers get
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: your fillers that's your business i don't care the problem
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: i have is we've convinced women that whatever choice they
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: make is the wrong one and social media has made
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: it worse because we're comparing real human beings, the filtered
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: human beings.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Humans are walking around looking.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: At themselves through Facetune and Instagram filters and the perfect lighting, okay? Makeup,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: cosmetic procedures, oh, AI, please, forget about it, okay? So
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: many AI-enhanced images. We're seeing so much of that that
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: we're starting to forget what an actual human being looks like, okay?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Human beings get lines, human beings get wrinkles, OK, your
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: hair changes, face changes. That's just called being alive. And
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: that's why making fun of somebody for aging is stupid
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: to me. Unless you plan on dying young.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: OK, that's the only alternative. There are only two ways
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: this story goes. You get older or.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: You don't get the opportunity to get older. OK, either
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: grow old or die young.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: That's it. So when I see Jasmine, God.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: At 64 years old, still working, you know, still acting,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: still being Whitley Gilbert, still here for people to celebrate
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: 30 years after a different world first became part of
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the culture. She got her memoir coming out in February
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: that my book in print is publishing. I'm not looking
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: at her thinking, damn, she got old. I'm thinking, what
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a beautiful life she has lived. OK, she's still alive,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: getting to it at 64.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: And God willing. I will be too. Okay. Some of
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: y'all better pray you get enough wrinkles for somebody to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: make fun of. Okay. You better pray you get some
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: gray hair. Okay. I hope you live long enough to
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: complain about your back hurting when it rains. Okay.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I hope in 2056, somebody looks at a picture of
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: me and says, damn, he got old because you know
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: what that means? I made it 30 more years. OK,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why we humans spend the first half
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: of our lives praying for birthdays.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: You want to be 16. You want to be 21.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: And then the second half of our lives, we pretend
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: birthdays are a problem.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Nope. Nope. I want them all. OK.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Every birthday is confirmation that you're still in the game.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Jasmine Guy does not owe anybody the face they remember
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: from 1988. And before you make fun of somebody else's age,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you better check the date on your own birth certificate.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: And remember, father time is undefeated. He's coming for all
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: of us. And getting old, being called old, it's not
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: an insult.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Getting old is the blessing because everybody doesn't get to
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: do it. Please give Remy Ma. Please let Remy Ma
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: give everybody. Shaming Jasmine Guy for doing whatever a human
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: being on this planet is doing, which is aging.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: The biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Hee-haw.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: You stupid motherfucker. You dumb. I want them all. Okay?
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I want them all. I feel you. I want to
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: be so old that I can't even blow out a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: birthday cake. Yeah. Somebody got to do it for me.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I don't like the way they made her feel. It's
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: not cool. Makes no sense.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Makes no sense. All right.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Guess what?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: What? I'm going to hold it now. After doing that donkey.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: How long was that? 10 minutes. Like 12. I'm 12
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: minutes older than I was 12 minutes ago. Happy birthday.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying?
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: That's true. But anyway, yes, you're absolutely right. We should
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: pray to get over it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Now, if she had a damn BBL and, you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: her face pushed back to the back of her damn head,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: then everybody has something to say about that, too.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: They have something to say regardless. But I just hate that, though.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh, she's 67.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: 64.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: 64.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: The hell? What's going on? All right. Thank you for
• 8:50
