Summary Takeaways

• **Motherhood changes everything—including self-perception and society’s view—but reclaiming confidence is a deeply personal and non-linear process.
• **Wellness and luxury can belong to everyone, especially Black women; community and representation matter in traditionally exclusive spaces.
• **Dating standards evolve as self-worth grows; honesty—with oneself and others—is crucial for setting (and keeping) boundaries.
• **Open relationships, swinging, and non-traditional dynamics can be liberating, as long as consent and transparency are centered.
• **Sexual safety and health must be normalized, not stigmatized; abstinence preaching without practical support is unrealistic.
• **Internet and fame risks—parasocial relationships and over-familiarity—touch everyone who’s visible online, and require new, collective boundaries.
• **It’s okay for women to compartmentalize—sex, relationships, emotions—just as men do.
• **Culture is shifting, for the better, in recognizing consent, age-appropriate relationships, and unlearning past harms.

[Keke Palmer]

She crazy glued the belt back on. So it just, you know, was because the belt buckle broke off. So I had the. You know how you do a. How you do a belt? You know what I mean? It's like if the belt buckle broke. So she super glued the belt buckle piece back on to the back of the dress so that it could go on, like, you know, into the loop and everything.

[Weezy]

Okay, seamstress haddish. Come on.

[Keke Palmer]

[Keke Palmer]

Oh, my gosh. I love Etsy, baby girl. I love a little beanie moment. This one lady, I wish I could drop her name right now, but she makes these little knitted beanie heads, girl.

[Weezy]

Oh, you know what you did? I bought some Etsy. I was at Black on the Block and I sent you a picture. Keke. I don't know if you remember, there was a girl that was selling T shirts and there was a huge. A frame of Keke. Keke Palmer has worn.

[Keke Palmer]

That's fabulous. And I said, she better market her shit.

[Weezy]

I took a picture of it.

[Mandy B]

I said, did you know?

[Weezy]

And you were like, I'm an Australian. But no, listen. And everybody came up and they're like, which one?

[Mandy B]

Kiki Pa. That is too funny. I'm curious about speaking of just even your clothes. We had. We just talked about it right before we started. When you came on to this pod for the very first time, you did not let nobody know that you was pregnant. And you said, don't tell nobody. We cannot talk about it, but I am expecting. I'm about to be a mother.

[Keke Palmer]

But why do pregnant people do that? I had that big ass jacket on.

[Weezy]

Big ass jacket?

[Mandy B]

No, no, no. The jacket was big, but then you. It was a little denim, you know.

[Keke Palmer]

You know what? I also thought his face was swollen.

[Weezy]

When you told me you was pregnant at that dinner that day, I was like, no. And you were like, yeah, Gila, yeah.

[Keke Palmer]

And first of all, you know, all the people involved, like, you know, the fam. So you probably already had been heard.

[Weezy]

No. You know, before I asked. It really was your outfit choice.

[Keke Palmer]

No, because they were obviously like ill fitted, like everything. I don't know why pregnant people do this, but it's like we just, you know, because we want to pick the right time, but we still want to be outside. We want to be able to deliver our good news. But it's such an obvious news. It's like not a news you can really hide. So it's like either. Well, it's a news too, that, you

[Mandy B]

know, you got to hold for a little bit because you got to make it past a certain time.

[Keke Palmer]

You know what I mean?

[Mandy B]

It gets a little tricky. I will also say though, the difference in you coming in here, you say, hey, y', all, I just got to do a look because I look fabulous night and day. From when you did come in, there was so many. From your body to your skin. There was so many insecurities that you had three years ago that have completely.

[Keke Palmer]

Girl, when you have that. When you have that freaking baby, when you're pregnant, I mean, I think also I'll say, like, in life you just grow. I mean, I would hope you do, you know what I'm saying? Like now, I don't know how old I was then. 28, 29. You know, you feel more comfortable, whatever. All those things are real as well. But also, when you're pregnant, you really do be feeling like you got egg on your face or something. Like everything feels so nerve wracking, you know, your body, all the changes that are happening.

[Weezy]

Like, but your skin has really.

[Keke Palmer]

Wow. Yeah, my skin was definitely on the up. But then as soon as after I had the baby, the skin went left again. Did it really save me, bitch? No, like, that skin stuff, it really is tough.

[Weezy]

Dermatology can bring you up.

[Keke Palmer]

Oh my gosh, really?

[Weezy]

Like, I just have been in so many places where someone will just say, do you remember Keke?

[Keke Palmer]

And then this.

[Weezy]

Because you were a marker for like. But for real, think about how you shared all of that shit with us

[Keke Palmer]

and the shit is gone. You know, I will say this to anybody, like, at the end of the day, we could talk holistic all day. We can talk dermatologists, we can talk estheticians. Sometimes medication may be what you need. And I'll leave it at that. I don't know which ones are gonna be good for you, but I just feel like people gotta understand we all have stuff we're dealing with. We all have stuff. And sometimes you can't. It ain't just, dude, drink the water. They ain't doing it, girl, I'm a fish especially. They're still messed up.

[Mandy B]

And then you all know the country you live in, there's certain places you can't even drink the water. So then there's now you better bring

[Keke Palmer]

up the truth while she went real political for a good moment. Oh, sorry, you can't even drink water out here.

[Weezy]

Maybe we're a sex podcast.

[Keke Palmer]

Well let you know.

[Mandy B]

Hold on, hold on. Well, mind you, I was about to say, well, there's also certain kind of facials that the ladies can get. But you see which she was about to go in. How do you want me to go? Here.

[Weezy]

No, I like that little segue.

[Mandy B]

Keep it. Where do we want to go first? I mean, for me, speaking of you coming on our pod before your baby to after, you also became somewhat a poster child of showing that you as a new mom and you was sexy and so a part of talking to you and talking to other women too, who feel like they have. They may have lost themselves.

[Keke Palmer]

Right? Yeah.

[Mandy B]

I have a friend right now. She just celebrated her one year old son's birthday. And the conversation for this first year and a half of this little boy's life has been she's relearning herself. She's a whole new person.

[Keke Palmer]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

And so she's trying to find who she loves. She's trying to get back comfortable. Boobs are big. She thick now. But she's loving it. But also like, I'm a new me.

[Keke Palmer]

That's right.

[Mandy B]

How did you get to a point where you went through motherhood, went through the body changes, but found a way to be confident and embrace the new you?

[Keke Palmer]

Yeah. I will give a shout out to Sergio Hudson because right after I had had my son, me and him did the Met Gala together. Now we did the first Met Gala, we weren't together. I just wore his dress. That was when I had hosted. And then the second year after I had my baby, we did it together. And it was that relationship, meeting him and him encouraging me and pouring into me in fashion that really, I think helped me a lot. I loved it.

[Weezy]

You know what I'm saying?

[Keke Palmer]

Like it really. He supported me. He made me feel good in my new body. He showed me how to flaunt my body. He showed me how to feel positive about the things that I was excited about and also how to not feel insecure about the things that were, you know what I'm saying? I never had curves and stuff like that. You know what I mean? I never had that body.

[Weezy]

And speaking of, I remember the moment that. Cause, you know, Internet comments tear us up. And I wonder if the Internet made you feel better. There was a leopard dress or a cheetah dress or something and people said Do I need to have a baby, too? And everybody was on the shade room, like, keke got ass, girl.

[Keke Palmer]

When I say the Internet has torn me up and round inside. And I've had so many ups, and we all have so many experiences with the Internet. But then after that, baby body was unanimously profound. Like, everybody was like.

[Mandy B]

I was like, wow.

[Keke Palmer]

Like, guys, you really. And I really. But it's so funny, to that point, it wasn't how I knew me. So there was still a moment where it's like, it's great that everybody loves this and I love that everybody's giving me life, and that's cool, but I don't know that I love this, you know? And so I still had to figure out, like, again, how do I feel comfortable in my new body and how do I. Whatever changes I want to make or however I want to grow and I want to be me, how do I find that again? So it definitely was a process. And that's why you was talking about the Pilates. Like, for me, finding different practices, whether it was hiking, digging into my wellness, like, what I want to eat, what should be in my diet, what shouldn't, what should come out of my diet, what's going to help my skin, what's going to give me peace, Let me do my yoga, but actually let me do my Pilates because I like being active in the. In the. In the relaxation. All of those things were a part of, I think, what helped me find me again in a new way.

[Weezy]

Seeing you do Pilates. So we both jumped into Pilates as work. Yeah, my moment was a little different. So I've always been a lover of Pilates. And I had a moment a few years ago where I was in a class and I was saying to the teacher, like, oh, you know, you need some hip hop in here. Like, because of course, you know, Pilates is very white.

[Keke Palmer]

And she says it was also very seen as, like, an elitist, you know what I mean?

[Weezy]

Very wealthy, very.

[Keke Palmer]

Which I think should change.

[Weezy]

She said, we would never do that.

[Keke Palmer]

We would never do that. It's crazy.

[Weezy]

I had a drunk idea and I'm like, guess I'm making a trap house. And literally that was how it started for me. And so when building trap house, I used to make jokes with my business partner, like, we don't have all these white bitches in here listening to Jeezy. 95% of our clients are black women.

[Keke Palmer]

Come on.

[Weezy]

I mean, to the point where the white girls be like, I don't know

[Mandy B]

if I should come I don't want to invent respect.

[Weezy]

No, we'll take your money too. But the thing that I learned in this is I have stayed away from so many things, thinking it was unattainable for me, even if it's health wise. Just like, ah, that's too expensive. But then I'm spending a few hundred dollars at the club, getting fucked up.

[Keke Palmer]

Yes.

[Weezy]

Pilates, ain't that skincare?

[Keke Palmer]

Ain't that wellness? Wellness. Because I feel like with practice by Palmer, people are like, what is practice by Palmer? It's a culture, you know? Yeah, we do Pilates, but I also do strength training, but I also have conversations. It's about community. I love what you're doing with Trap House because it's about community building, where it's like, guys, like, let's. Let's make it our own. It doesn't have to be this thing that's far away from us or back in the day, when you say, oh, that's for white folk. No, it's for all the folk. We all should be able to have access to things that are gonna make us more optimal in life. And so that's what I'm on, you know what I'm saying? Especially being a mom and what I want my son to see me doing and how I can show up for him. Like, I'm on that wellness. I'm on that. You know, let's sip tea, but let it not be bitter, bitch.

[Weezy]

Honey, we can see from the outfit you are very Los Angeles now.

[Mandy B]

Leaning into health and core and all the stuff that y' all do. It also helps you in the bedroom, you know what I mean? And you got. See, you know what's crazy? You hear that up now I'm jealous, girl.

[Keke Palmer]

Uh, that's a fake ass move.

[Mandy B]

You say that's a fake move.

[Keke Palmer]

That ain't real.

[Weezy]

That's enough for the mistakes and ends,

[Mandy B]

but ain't, because I don't do much of those things. So I do want to talk about how getting to actually love yourself, working out, getting your body to be the best, and then deciding who gets to partake. Oh, so how do we decide that?

[Keke Palmer]

Cause I don't see anybody stop it when they act.

[Mandy B]

Stop it, guys. I'm not dating is not that difficult outside.

[Keke Palmer]

First of all, you've been had your man for ages. I don't know. Does the Internet.

[Mandy B]

Do people know the Internet, young girl?

[Weezy]

Okay, okay.

[Keke Palmer]

Yeah, period. Period. So you can't be involved. I don't know. Are you in a relationship?

[Mandy B]

Okay, I am in multiple.

[Keke Palmer]

That's why I can't talk to y'.

[Care for the Culture Host]

All.

[Mandy B]

I don't date.

[Weezy]

Because you thought we weren't there. You stay with a job, we stay

[Mandy B]

together, we stay with a man.

[Keke Palmer]

Okay.

[Weezy]

We do. Multiple dollars might not be working for you.

[Mandy B]

I know that's right. Right. And so then when you get to a place where. And I guess this is a question because I talked about it in our book, right?

[Keke Palmer]

In our book.

[Mandy B]

No, hopefully New York Science, Us colors. You know, I talked about how actually when I wasn't the most confident with my body, I realized I gave it up. More interesting because there was validation there that I needed or saw from those temporary interactions. And what's crazy is maybe that's why it's so difficult for you right now. It's not that there's not anyone out there, but when you become the best version of yourself, whether it be through working out, whether it be through therapy, whether it be like, damn, I'm that bitch. Yeah. It makes it harder for you to want to share your space with undeserving.

[Keke Palmer]

What you're speaking to is something that I remember. Ciara also changed. Excuse me. Sierra also said as well where your taste changes and that's no shade, right? But like as you think things change in your life, you acquire different tastes. And so I do think that, yeah, like, I'm not picky, but what interests me, what I'm open to, are different than they were before. And so it's like you're caught in between what you used to like who you've become and what it looks like for where you're going.

[Mandy B]

Is there any like, toxic trait of a man that you used to be? Used to be like, I'm gonna look past it or I really like this and now you won't do that.

[Keke Palmer]

I will say this is toxic and I'll use it lightly because toxic, you know, we just everything toxic. And I hope everybody move forward, you know what I'm saying? When I hear toxic, I feel like we all have to change. You know what I mean? So I hope that. But I think something that I used to, you know, have time for that I don't have time for is like, do the things you say you're going to do for yourself. When somebody used to not show up for theyself, I would recognize. I've always shown up for myself, right? But I could recognize the feeling and the emotion in somebody where they feel unseen and then. But if you don't catch that in the right time, then you start not seeing yourself.

[Weezy]

Do you wanna. When you see that happen, do you wanna be the healer? Do you wanna do it for them?

[Keke Palmer]

I think I end up feeling the vibe. And then now I'm reliving the shit I did. Ooh. Phase first. You know what I'm saying? Now I'm in phase one. Like I wanna go back to a new book. And then by the time I'm. Once that happens, they still in that first book. And so it's like I just outpaced it, if that makes sense. So anyway, I guess what I'm ultimately saying is I, you know, I could feel you, but I ain't gotta be with you. You know, I can feel you as a friend and I can connect. I can see myself in you. I remember when I was like that. I remember when I did it. You can get through that. But that don't mean we be together.

[Mandy B]

Right?

[Keke Palmer]

You know what I'm saying? As opposed to maybe it's like being with somebody, that's where you are. You know what I mean? And that's why they say the things of, like, equally yoked a lot of times. I used to feel bad about that. Cause it's like we all loved in God's eyes. But it's like, that's not really what that meant. It means like just that you swimming in eight feet. I'm swimming in eight feet. Just cause I know what it was like to be in three feet don't mean I gotta be over there with you. Now I can't go to eight feet. Cause all you can do is swim in three feet, right?

[Weezy]

Who holds you back?

[Mandy B]

Come on.

[Keke Palmer]

Now.

[Weezy]

We could pretend that it, but is everybody okay?

[Mandy B]

Mom.

[Weezy]

Mom, you can't.

[Keke Palmer]

What's up?

[Weezy]

Filming. You can't do that.

[Keke Palmer]

Yeah, what's up? She look cute.

[Weezy]

I'm sorry, we, you know, we don't do this at the house normally. That's my mother in the back, Keke. She says she coming. I'm making deviled eggs.

[Keke Palmer]

So hilarious.

[Mandy B]

Now, I did want to. Leading into that, we have a segment called Reactionary.

[Keke Palmer]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

And where I think a lot of us are even, whether we're in relationships or dating. Right. I saw this interesting video about what it looks like to kind of choose yourself. And it leans into this word we talked about, toxic. But there's also this word called bread crumbing. And I wanted to play this video.

[Keke Palmer]

Bread crumbing.

[Mandy B]

Yeah. See, and I want.

[Keke Palmer]

No, no, no.

[Mandy B]

You've never heard that one.

[Keke Palmer]

I've never heard of this.

[Mandy B]

So I want.

[Keke Palmer]

Y' all know I Heard breadcrumbing. But like, it could be in so many different contexts. So many.

[Mandy B]

So I want to play this video and get your reaction from it.

[Keke Palmer]

Come on. Two fingers short. I know.

[Mandy B]

That's fine.

[Weezy]

You want to be with me or not? Because it feels like you're just barely keeping me around. So you give me just enough attention

[Keke Palmer]

to keep wanting you, but never enough to feel secure.

[Weezy]

It is.

[Keke Palmer]

What do you need from me?

[Weezy]

I need to know how you feel towards me.

[Keke Palmer]

Oh, well, I like having the option. So you have no intention of.

[Weezy]

Am I. Is that going to change? It might. Well, that doesn't feel good. I can imagine.

[Keke Palmer]

This is crazy.

[Weezy]

See? Should I close the door then?

[Keke Palmer]

If you want to. I don't want to. Why? Cuz I like the idea that one day you'll chase me. Oh, no.

[Weezy]

There's a chance that's enough for you.

[Keke Palmer]

So what do we do now?

[Weezy]

I guess we just keep doing this till one of us gives up.

[Keke Palmer]

Yeah. Yep. I guess I'll. I'll be anxiously waiting.

[Mandy B]

So this is an exaggerated clown nose. So it's an exaggerated form of. Where unfortunately, a lot of women find themselves when they're dating guys. They have the intention and desire more, but they receive only what the man gives them because it's just enough.

[Weezy]

But, you know.

[Keke Palmer]

But that's a reflection of you too.

[Weezy]

But also, we're taught that men have to lead. So a lot of women are pacing themselves.

[Keke Palmer]

Yeah.

[Weezy]

When I've made that mistake, I've had to recognize it as an adult. But before it was like, okay, well, I'm not gonna tell him what I want because he's gotta come to me.

[Keke Palmer]

I also think we don't give ourselves enough credit as women. And people don't give us enough credit. Girl, you know, you don't want shit neither. Oh, stop acting like you're the victim in this. You looking for something to do on Saturday as well? We always try to play this role sometimes where we're like, he's not giving it. No, you got exactly what you want. A Sometimey ass nigga.

[Mandy B]

Oh my God. Wait, my best friend is still here. Oh my God, you talking out loud Sometimey too.

[Keke Palmer]

Ooh, that's what we try to act like. We try to fill this role and make it be boohoo. No, it ain't. Boo hoo, girl, you got exactly what you looking for. Ride it till you don't want to ride it.

[Weezy]

No, but no, you right.

[Keke Palmer]

And I think I do that to ourselves.

[Mandy B]

I love that you say that because, yes, a Lot of times, unfortunately, the rhetoric is, men ain't shit. But it's like, as women are, we are we.

[Keke Palmer]

But also we getting exactly what we asked for.

[Mandy B]

And do we really know that we want more? And are we ready for more? Because we're also maybe just right here because this is just enough.

[Weezy]

I only know what she keeps talking about when he really ain't shit. Like, hey, see, look, she going back

[Mandy B]

and blaming the man.

[Weezy]

No, no, no.

[Mandy B]

You see it.

[Weezy]

Let me explain myself.

[Mandy B]

Accountability.

[Weezy]

When I come over and the bills are just kind of stacked up, and I know the lights may turn off at any moment, but the sound is good.

[Keke Palmer]

Now, that sounds crazy, but what you just said was, but the sex is good. You getting exactly what you asked for.

[Mandy B]

You know what I mean?

[Keke Palmer]

And you paying for it in them bills.

[Weezy]

You know the thing I'd be like, you know what? I'll get the Uber eats. I'll order the food. You know what?

[Keke Palmer]

Just sit. And I think people gotta be real what they say.

[Mandy B]

But that's also, I think, the problem right now. So when we talk about that, that being D whipped, dick whipped. When the sex is good and the sex can be good across, you know, multiple people, girl, you know, we sitting here working with people.

[Keke Palmer]

I got D whipped. Has me on the flip. It's really.

[Weezy]

Cause Ms. Sharon in the back, you know, y' all be over here.

[Mandy B]

We be over here. I'm like, can I say that? But the conversation around sex and how we have it a lot of time, that blurs our decision making in what makes money more. Now, what you just said, as a woman, we may want a real relationship, we want love. But when it's good, nothing else sometimes seems to matter. Or we'll stick around as long as we can keep getting at it.

[Keke Palmer]

I think we got to be real with the parameters, right? Like, people got to start really having real conversations. I don't think we're having real conversations with sex. And I get it. Maybe this is also, like, a part of the gray space that people need to be turned on, which is part of the problem. But, like, just say, look, boo, fool. You know what I mean? Look, I like what we doing in the bedroom. I don't need nothing more. Let's just do this. Let's figure it out. Like, when you free, I'm free. Like, let's be respectful of each other. But, like, I don't need nothing more from you.

[Weezy]

I don't think it starts. I think it starts like that, but I think other stuff, they be lying.

[Mandy B]

Feelings get Involved?

[Keke Palmer]

How do they get involved?

[Weezy]

You cuddle. That's how you fuck me.

[Keke Palmer]

And then it's like, maybe I'm too detached.

[Weezy]

Cause I love. Oh, my God, look how funny.

[Keke Palmer]

I feel like this is a character.

[Mandy B]

Stop it. I'm out.

[Keke Palmer]

Like, just be a character. Get into. You know, we've got to compartmentalize in a healthy way.

[Mandy B]

Do you think women are capable of really doing that? Without a doubt. That's the conversation where people don't think that they are.

[Keke Palmer]

You know how guys. Because we always got 12 different things we're doing at once. We're amazing at multitasking. But I think that society has also put us in this position with our relationships where we have to play only one or two roles. Why put on Spike Lee's movie with the lady with. She got hair, she got half and going.

[Mandy B]

She got hat. She got.

[Weezy]

It was another whole movie, but that was.

[Keke Palmer]

Oh, yeah.

[Mandy B]

She said Spike Lee girl.

[Keke Palmer]

She's talking about the TV show, huh? Yeah, the movie.

[Mandy B]

The movie.

[Keke Palmer]

She's gotta have it. Oh, no. Now she's gotta have it.

[Mandy B]

Is it.

[Weezy]

No, wait, it is.

[Keke Palmer]

Confused me.

[Weezy]

She had three boyfriends. That's you.

[Keke Palmer]

That was.

[Mandy B]

She gonna have it.

[Keke Palmer]

Boom. Three boys. That was a sketch. That moment. I need, like, I need just that moment. But yeah, that moment where it's like, live in your truth, find what's good for you.

[Mandy B]

However, then you do it as a woman, and you're called a jezebel by all of America.

[Keke Palmer]

We just don't say that to anybody.

[Weezy]

We just experience. They say any to us.

[Mandy B]

And so as women, how are you liberated? One guy, you may only like his sex.

[Keke Palmer]

You may, like, go to dinner with this dude. You may, like, you know, going to bed with that guy. You may, like, you know, talking to this dude on the phone. Look, it's called dating for a reason. You're not married. Damn. As long as we're being honest.

[Mandy B]

No, they date when they're married too.

[Keke Palmer]

Married men have to be stopped.

[Weezy]

Do you find that when it comes

[Keke Palmer]

with you on that.

[Weezy]

Wait, do you.

[Keke Palmer]

Do we do a hearing, say to

[Weezy]

the married men, why do they come of you?

[Keke Palmer]

They don't know if they swinging. They don't know, like, is your wife involved or not?

[Weezy]

Speaking of swinging, have you had.

[Keke Palmer]

It's like cackling in the back.

[Mandy B]

It's. Cackling in the back is hilarious.

[Keke Palmer]

Let me ask my question. Oh, my gosh. You holding. Why you holding like a 40?

[Weezy]

You know, we hear about Hollywood parties, right? And how they get nasty and I'm not talking about the one you just came to on Tuesday, your birthday party

[Keke Palmer]

with the cake and the cake pink vaja.

[Weezy]

So has there been like a celebrity couple that was like.

[Keke Palmer]

No, but I feel like people have wanted. Well, actually somebody did once and they came up to me very normal and I respected that. I respect. They was like, look, me and my husband, we would love to blah, blah, blah. And I was like, thank you. You know, I wasn't into it, but I was like, thank you.

[Mandy B]

You weren't into it or was one of them not attractive that's actually seen now, wait, but it's okay, we ain't got to talk about you.

[Weezy]

One of them like you fucked with

[Mandy B]

one of their work.

[Weezy]

Like you actually like them and were like, they ruined it.

[Keke Palmer]

Now say the last part again.

[Weezy]

Like, were you a fan of one of their works or something?

[Keke Palmer]

Yes, I'm very close. Yeah, very.

[Mandy B]

Yeah, period.

[Keke Palmer]

Fucked them heavy. Yeah, yeah, I fucked with them heavy. And I respected the vibe that she took. Now I've had other people that I felt have wanted to do that kind of thing and they weren't really coming right out with it. Spit it out.

[Weezy]

How do they have the saying like keke, we should go eat sometimes altogether?

[Keke Palmer]

Because look, you know, we have a unique thing going on. If you ever own it, if you're ever down.

[Mandy B]

Nah, I'm sorry.

[Keke Palmer]

Just be cute and just be respectful. Allow somebody to have consent. I don't think there's anything wrong with people's unique relationships. I think we gotta stop yucking everybody's young period. If somebody is in an open marriage, if somebody has a swinging relationship, if somebody has a whatever, let them do that. You ain't gotta be a part of it. But like people have things that work for them. And I think the path, the problem is while we get into some of this cheating and this lying and blah blah, is cause people can't be themselves. Be yourself. Find somebody that lets you be yourself, even if yourself is. Look, every five days I gotta go and be in the woods. That's my thing. Every five days I gotta go spend time in the woods. Let that motherfucker go to the woods.

[Mandy B]

And if he could be honest with you. And as long as he getting tested and everything is safe and everything is clean and everything is.

[Keke Palmer]

And that is a thing in general across the board because people are being full on close relationships. It's just them too and can't even tell the truth and can't tell the truth. We do need to get more talkative with the Consensus scent factor. Just lay it on the line. Do you want to get busy?

[Care for the Culture Host]

Yes, it's me again. And we prepped.

[Keke Palmer]

Oh, wow.

[Care for the Culture Host]

Oh, wow. Oh, wow. It's the time for empowerment. And I've got a message for you. You gotta think about sexual health no matter what, when, or with who. Yeah, yeah. To all you lovers out there, ain't no judgment. This is a chance. You. It's time to talk about pre special prophylaxis, a part of HIV prevention. Talk to a healthcare provider and visit carefortheculture.com to learn more.

[Mandy B]

Weezy just sent something to my phone.

[Keke Palmer]

Celestial ucla Mic.

[Mandy B]

Yes. Cheryl Lee Ralph was advocating about getting tested in prep and all these things. And the people in the comments were so ignorant because they was like, the messaging used to just be abstinent. Now it's preventative now. But also one of the comments from a married woman, they was mad about that. They were mad that a married woman was saying to be safe.

[Weezy]

And you can't think of who Sheryl Lee Ralph is.

[Keke Palmer]

It gets to the point where everybody just mad.

[Mandy B]

No, Sheryl Lee Ralph is my queen. She says she don't even live with her man.

[Weezy]

If anybody is going to be the person to tell us to take care of ourselves, the fact that it's that.

[Mandy B]

Mom, I can't.

[Keke Palmer]

You don't even want to listen to Auntie? No more like what? You can't listen to Auntie? Auntie can't even tell you. Wrap it up.

[Mandy B]

You know what's funny about that? You know what's funny about that, though? But we didn't like. Can you remember the things that the older ladies. And mind you, when we say older ladies and we go down, it's really now, the 30s, for real. It's just the women in their 30s,

[Keke Palmer]

we thought they was so grandma, so grandmama.

[Weezy]

We didn't we do that.

[Mandy B]

But they knew what they were talking about and unfortunately they didn't. So I think these types of conversation needs to just actually be had more across peers.

[Keke Palmer]

I agree.

[Mandy B]

Across friends, across.

[Keke Palmer]

And we're grown. We're grown enough to set the example and to set the standard of what it should look like getting into to any sexual relationship.

[Mandy B]

I agree.

[Keke Palmer]

It's appropriate. It's. That's what we should be doing.

[Weezy]

And I think the thing that I'm thinking about when y' all are talking is Sheryl Lee Ralph was talking about HIV specific specifically.

[Keke Palmer]

Okay.

[Weezy]

Right.

[Keke Palmer]

That's right.

[Weezy]

And that is the scariest thing for everybody to hear about. But what I would Love to know is like, we're talking about this right now as friends and podcasters. Did your mom, because y' all are so close, ever talk to you about sexual safety? But did. When she did, did HIV come up or was it pregnancy? Like, how did that look?

[Keke Palmer]

You know, my mom, her first thing was when I had my. I got my period very young. I was about 11. I was 11 years old. On the Madea's family reunion set. No, we was in Atlanta, Georgia, and I was on Medea Film reunion. I got my little period.

[Mandy B]

Yeah, that's what I came during.

[Keke Palmer]

The period is crazy.

[Mandy B]

I got my little period. I'm a woman to check.

[Keke Palmer]

Right. Anyway.

[Mandy B]

But Medea. Never mind.

[Keke Palmer]

So anyway, my mom was like, you can get pregnant now. Just so you know. That was, like, the entry point.

[Weezy]

Shut up.

[Keke Palmer]

She was serious about that type of stuff. And she started telling me about how, you know, where she grew up and how a lot of the young girls did. She did have friends that was 12 years old that had kids, you know, that grew up in women's shelters and stuff like that. And then she started talking to me about rape culture and her friends going places and somebody dropping something and they drink. So it was mostly around, you know, childbearing and possibly, like, being taken advantage of. What could result in that? It was a lot of, like, some of that trauma that she had heard secondhand from friendships. And then as I got older, it started to be letting me know about hiv. You know, it's interesting. We never had really any extreme conversations around, you know, the, you know, chlamydia or gonorrhea or any of those things. I would hear about them on television, actually watching Degrassi when Emma got gonorrhea.

[Mandy B]

Oh, my God, stop it.

[Keke Palmer]

I remember watching that.

[Weezy]

I lost my voice.

[Mandy B]

Don't say anything. I mean, you did just have a

[Weezy]

party with a whole lot happening now.

[Keke Palmer]

You know, we hear about that kind of stuff or we hear about it in pop culture. But my mom did talk to me about HIV and aids, because that was like, a big epidemic. Obviously, it always has been, but it was. She. Remember when it happened?

[Weezy]

Because our mom has probably had, like. My mom talked to me about it because she had lost a friend.

[Keke Palmer]

Absolutely.

[Weezy]

And see, that's the thing that's changed now, because HIV was so terrible back then for people because it was turning into aids. Cause there was no prep. There was nothing preventative. Right. There were no.

[Keke Palmer]

Which. I'm so thankful for all that stuff now. I really, really am thankful for that.

[Weezy]

And I'm glad that we're talking about it because, you know, we talk about sex on our show every week. You probably have the dash.

[Keke Palmer]

But we like to talk about it more.

[Weezy]

Here we are.

[Keke Palmer]

It's just not happening for me.

[Weezy]

But HIV is growing amongst black women more than anybody else in the country.

[Keke Palmer]

Shout outs to the Girlfriends episode that just came on last night that I was watching. Cause I go to sleep to that show when they were talking about that. They did two great episodes about it. One of them was with Kimberly Elise when she was their long term friend who came back in town and they were envying her life. And she was. Joan was mad because she was like, you took my man, you took my man. She said, yeah, you know what? And he gave me hiv. But the other one, you know, they removed it. They removed that Kimberly Elise.

[Mandy B]

No, there was another one with the

[Keke Palmer]

documentary that Lynn made.

[Mandy B]

Well, there was another one where I think one of the men had HIV on it. I think it was one of their close friends and they all were scared to be around.

[Keke Palmer]

Oh, yes, that was the Kimberly Elise.

[Mandy B]

Yes, Kim.

[Keke Palmer]

Kimberly Elise cut her finger, her hand with a knife. And Joan threw the knife away.

[Mandy B]

Yes.

[Keke Palmer]

Cause Joan was like, oh my gosh, you know, I never can use it again. And Kimberly was like, no, no, no, that's not how it is. And so I love that we have those things, those things that she's talking about. And I just saw something online the other day where a young woman was talking about her storyline, how she was just. This was a longtime guy that she had been messing with for years. And next thing you know, he gave her to her. You know what I'm saying? And so, so anyway, it's just important that we have these discussions. That's why I really do feel like we get. It's like we live in this world, y', all, where it's like one second is flew out city girls, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. And the next minute, don't ask me about, don't ask me about my health.

[Mandy B]

It's literally that. And we were talking, why is it

[Keke Palmer]

either porn or not?

[Mandy B]

Nothing at all.

[Weezy]

And that's the problem with those comments that day. It was like, what happened to the conversation about abstinence? It doesn't. It's not real. It's not real.

[Mandy B]

But also weird things.

[Weezy]

Do you know in Houston, 1% of people are asexual?

[Keke Palmer]

1% of people are asexual.

[Weezy]

That means 99% of the population wants to fuck.

[Keke Palmer]

True.

[Weezy]

And the problem with abstinence conversation is you discourage People to be honest, to get tested and to disclose. And then I'm looking at these comments

[Keke Palmer]

like it's a human thing.

[Mandy B]

But even outside of the comments, what I've been seeing happening in Houston, it's

[Keke Palmer]

spring break and what has been like, I've seen a video.

[Weezy]

Okay, can y' all tell how did it happen?

[Mandy B]

Hold on.

[Keke Palmer]

How do we arrive?

[Mandy B]

Okay, what happened was Miami started putting curfew. So in our day, back in our day, we was going to Vegas, we was going to Miami.

[Keke Palmer]

Miami was that girl.

[Mandy B]

Miami was her 11:11 period. I was like, before 11. I'm talking about before then. I'm talking about way back then when it was like kld tootsie.

[Keke Palmer]

Okay. Yeah.

[Mandy B]

King of Diamonds on Monday.

[Weezy]

It used to be a Walmart. That's why the poll so high.

[Mandy B]

I did not. Anyways, right now the Gen Z are partying it up in Houston.

[Keke Palmer]

Okay.

[Mandy B]

And what's crazy is we see it all on social media. It's a lot of people. It's freak nick 2.0, right?

[Keke Palmer]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

Now I just saw nurses posting about the spike in Houston specifically talking going on. And I love. And I don't know if it's. I don't think it's violating hipaa, but I do like that nurses are like, listen, there's a spike in STDs happening right now because everyone's coming into this. By the way, those are the locals getting tested. What about the people who came to town and went back to their little town? What's happening? And so when we're in a place where we're preaching to date multiple people.

[Keke Palmer]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

And go out and get your. Go out and get your nut, girl. Good luck getting it. Because they having a little problem finding out how to do it. But if we're avid. I'm just saying. I'm saying.

[Keke Palmer]

But I'm with you on this 1000%. You have to be responsible. You have to be responsible and we

[Mandy B]

have to be able to talk about it to where you're not a shame.

[Keke Palmer]

Whatever persons. We should be able to just be

[Weezy]

open and you know, people that fuck multiple people generally have that language. Like we've interviewed so many porn stars over time, they know they status immediately. Right now if I ask my homegirl who's maybe dated one guy 10 months ago, maybe then just on a few dating apps, like they just get their pap, they're not really asking for money.

[Mandy B]

And even a pap you don't have to get yearly.

[Keke Palmer]

So which is crazy with that Pap. They try to force it. I tried to force it. She was like, you don't need it. I was like, but I want it. You don't need it.

[Mandy B]

And I think that's another thing. Just ask. Advocating for yourself as black women. Not even just STDs, but it's everything.

[Keke Palmer]

Can I have one as well?

[Mandy B]

Thank you so much. How you gonna tell. How you gonna tell me what I need and what I don't need for my body?

[Keke Palmer]

You know what I mean? I'm that person. I ain't even did nothing. I'll be ready to take a test. There's no reason why to do it, but why not?

[Mandy B]

Now, I did wanna ask you because we were talking about comments on social media.

[Weezy]

Yes.

[Mandy B]

We talked about how you had a really good response to your new body as a new mama. And those relationships, those parasocial relationships were dope. However, we just saw a girl. You was at south by Southwest.

[Weezy]

Now, I do want to also preface this by saying when we. You know, when you do interviews, you got a team. This was one of those things that we really wanted to check in with and see if it was okay to discuss with you. Because that, for me, was really scary to watch. Not just.

[Mandy B]

Can you explain to the people who may not have seen it?

[Weezy]

Of course. Of course. Let me cook.

[Keke Palmer]

She said, I just got in the

[Mandy B]

oven when I was trying to tell

[Weezy]

you I love y' all when, you know, we are casual friends. We don't talk all the time. Seeing a clip of you look a little bit scared when you have so much confidence. And at south by Southwest, somebody proposed to you, and I just. I wanted to talk about it because of how you handled yourself. And we talk about safety so much, but at the same time, it was so violating that it's like, how can we do this in a way that feels tasteful because you are so fun. So to bring keke down from the fun may not be fun for you to watch. But, like, I want you to walk us through when you were looking. You know, when that ring came out like, you. You asked if it was a prank. Like, walk us through a little bit of how you kept composure.

[Keke Palmer]

First of all, I just love you guys. I love you guys so much. I love talking with y', all, hanging with y'.

[Mandy B]

All.

[Keke Palmer]

I like how y' all present everything and give me the opportunity to talk to it. Yeah. So at first. So I will show you a little bit. Cause I want you to be able to see what the vibe was. This is how I knew that something was wrong. Because the ring was nice.

[Weezy]

Stop it.

[Keke Palmer]

It wasn't like no cracker jacket.

[Weezy]

Keke, please don't make me laugh.

[Keke Palmer]

Serious.

[Weezy]

Why are we laughing?

[Keke Palmer]

The ring looked expensive and it looked, it looked, it looked expensive. That's when I knew something's up. But like, so talk to each other right now and then just look at me when you have to.

[Weezy]

Okay, so you know, we about to have Kiki on here today. She didn't say the talk. We're just acting.

[Mandy B]

You see?

[Weezy]

No.

[Mandy B]

Oh, wait.

[Keke Palmer]

With the ring, with this type of eye contact. And so I was like thinking to myself that. That's when I was like, is this a joke? Because it was so sincere. Like I could see in his eyes that we've had romance. We had a lifetime in this man's eyes where he was like, seriously, like, like, like it gave. Like the day finally came and I'm like, how could this be? You know? And so then I was like, okay, sir, you know, no, I cannot marry you. You know, I cannot marry you, sir. And then that's when I knew. When he started looking back to the people and he was like, she wants to say yes. Help her say yes. And I was just like, oh, no.

[Weezy]

He said constantly.

[Keke Palmer]

He said, help her say yes. That's what I. Then I got sad, guys, because I feel like, I feel like when stuff like this happen, it's not even about me. It's about like we're really in a really bad time. Like economically, like loneliness rates are at an all time high. Depression is up, you know, people suicide. Like for him to. What kind of. I felt so nervous. I was nervous more for myself, delayed after because I was like, oh, it could have got dangerous. But in the moment it went from this is a joke to I've got to be careful with how I break the reality of this guy because this is fragile. Because for him to walk up there, for him to go, first of all, he looked he. Like a pretty together guy.

[Weezy]

He did.

[Keke Palmer]

He got this ring. The ring looked expensive. He paid for a ticket to be in south by Southwest. They're not cheating. They're not. And then he got the gumption to walk up here and ask me to marry and actually believed that I could potentially say yes. This is nothing to play with. And that's why I got very. Just started feeling sad because I was thinking to myself, man, this guy is in a really bad way, man. We might look back at his storyline. He might have just got laid off. He might have got laid off, started living at his mama's. House and watched me say, you know, it's your girl. And he done watch every episode of Baby. This kid Palmer, he, like, she makes me happy.

[Weezy]

Is the connection that you build. Like, we all know you. I feel like I know you. I feel like watching my phone, seeing Leo, you give us so much you didn't make you want to stop, man.

[Keke Palmer]

You know what? I've had different moments of extreme visibility throughout my career. I remember when I did True Jackson VP and the show first hit, you know, And I remember going to. My uncle has been on dialysis for many years, and this was, like, the beginning of it. And it's a timer that you have to go back and do all that type of stuff, right? And so, like, hundreds of people were surrounding me at the place. And I felt when I was a kid and I would experience extreme fame and visibility, I would be stunted, and I wouldn't know how to speak to it, and I wouldn't know what to do, and it would traumatize me and I would just kind of like, I don't know how to let them down. But then, like, we gotta go back and get my uncle on this dialysis machine. And my parents are like, we need to go. But I don't wanna know who to disappoint. How do I honor myself? How do I honor my family? How do I honor their reality of me? So now, flashbacking forward to where I am now, it makes me wanna talk about it. It makes me wanna share and say that I do understand what I represent and I do understand how people are responding to me, and I do care about those things. But. But I must be honest, and I must say, I'm only. I'm only human. You know what I'm saying? Like, I give what I can and I show joy and I share because that's who I am. But, like, I have limitations, you know? And I hope that we can all start having these conversations around what it means to be an entertainer, what it means to be a celebrity, what it means to have impact and visibility.

[Mandy B]

Because you know what's scary, though? Anyone with an Instagram can be in a situation where someone has a parasocial relationship with them. Like, if you were a woman in your city posting photos, without a doubt, a man that saw your picture and knows that you live in the same city could start seeing you. And so I also, for the people listening, we have to remember, it's not just the podcasters or celebrities or child stars, singers, you know, all the other stuff.

[Weezy]

It's for all of Us.

[Mandy B]

It's for all of us as women. It is true to realize that people could have relationships with us in their mind as long as we're placing our pictures online.

[Keke Palmer]

And that's why I do think people like, I get it. The celebrity for the celebrity is a thing. Fame for fame is a thing. Right. I'm not shading anybody's reality and how they want to make money. But this is why I never understood it, because, you know, it's one thing to want, you know, to want to be known for what you do and creating something, whatever it is. I can understand how you'd be willing to put yourself on the line for that. I understand why. Visually, you'd be like, okay, this is for my calls, or this is for my blah, blah, blah. But, like, it's not nothing to play with for no reason at all.

[Mandy B]

Right?

[Keke Palmer]

You know, just to be seen and not being actually known and put and want to be, you know, that's a lot for anybody to handle. So I think people should also really think about that. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, social media, whether you're an influencer or not or just somebody that posts and whatever, like, these are things to think about. You know, when I came into the game, I didn't know about fame and popularity. It's something that ended up happening. But I remain doing what I'm doing because I care about my craft. I care even more so as I've grown up in my generation. I care about being a reflection, like my podcast. I care about, like, reflecting the conversations we're having online. The same way that you guys. We're the same. Where it's like, I'm interested in pop culture. I want to talk about these things. And so, yeah, it's like, it is what it is. It comes with it.

[Mandy B]

I will say something that I really love that you've been doing more. First off, you have an act to just get people to be completely comfortable with you. So we've seen how you've got Usher to open up about his experience with sex at an early age. But one of the clips that recently had a lot of us talking as women, especially millennial women, is the fact that we were dating older guys when we didn't really need to. And so I wanted to talk about what those conversations look like in terms of safety and dating. And when y'.

[Keke Palmer]

All.

[Mandy B]

When y' all had that. Yeah, when y' all had that moment with you and Demi about it kind of where it brought you back to and where you're like, ooh, there's so many things that need to be unlearned. And I would love for you to talk to like the women listening. In terms of dating, what things have you had to unlearn?

[Keke Palmer]

Man, I had to unlearn a lot of stuff, you know what I'm saying? I think rape culture is really big. And I'm not even just talking about that situation, I'm talking about other situations I've had.

[Mandy B]

Okay.

[Keke Palmer]

You know what I'm saying? So I think so starting with that. It's hard to know what is wrong when you don't, when you haven't visualized it that way. So the age discrepancy stuff, I think it took many years for me to understand what consent couldn't have been at that age for me, you know? And I remember watching this movie called the Tale with. Oh my gosh, the movie is called the Tale. I cannot remember the actress's name. Common was in it.

[Mandy B]

Okay?

[Keke Palmer]

And I wish I could, but I wrote about it in my book. And watching that movie was really impactful for me because it was this young girl who kind of was like, in the story that we're watching, she's dating an older guy, but she looks a lot older. Like she looks like, you know, more true and everything like that. But then when we actually go back to it, like what her age really was, we see how young she was, really was in comparison to the guy. And I think that it's hard to realize those things, at least from my point of view, because a lot of people might feel differently. But for me, when I think about my age, or if I think about even when I was at 25, whatever, I wouldn't be interested in nobody that's 16 or 17. Right? I just wouldn't be. And so I think when you start looking at it from that point of view, then you kind of are like, well, maybe, you know what I mean? And then you start examining stuff from a different vantage point that you didn't have then.

[Mandy B]

Oh yeah, the way I'm about to read Coldest Winner Ever and look at it differently. Cuz Midnight, we liked Midnight. And so it's a little different.

[Keke Palmer]

And culture has changed.

[Weezy]

Culture has changed.

[Keke Palmer]

I don't think we talk enough about how culture has changed as well.

[Mandy B]

Because for the better.

[Keke Palmer]

For the better.

[Weezy]

For the better.

[Keke Palmer]

But like for the better. That's also why many of us, I think back in those days, we didn't think of it like that. We, we. Because. And that's also like, I mean, look, I Haven't read tons of books on. On culture and conversations in academia, blah, blah, blah. But, like, right, we're in it, we're living it. And that's what they say is that like. Like, when you're looking back, everything is. Hindsight is always 2020, because you can see things from a different vantage point. And it was like culture at that time. And what we thought was okay and what we thought was appropriate, especially with Demi and I and just child entertainers, a lot of older people. Friendships even. Not even just romantic friendships as well, because you making money like a grownup, and it's isolating to your peers, but you still not grown, though.

[Mandy B]

Yeah.

[Keke Palmer]

And people take advantage of that. And you don't realize until later, like, man, that was kind of crazy. That shouldn't have happened. But what can you do, you know? Can't cry over, spill milk. You just kind of move forward type of thing.

[Weezy]

We're just in a weird era of child stars and, you know, and it's really the Internet because it's so accessible to learn about everybody. Now learning that Brittany, you know, reading her book, I was kind of like, oof. You know, even the other day, I'm listening to Toxic and all these different stories, and I'm like, damn. All the lyrics are about her being caged up. Like, seeing Amanda. You know what I mean?

[Keke Palmer]

Amanda kills me. I don't know what even the storyline is there. Nobody has ever really spoken to her. We've never even got really an interview with. You're not talking about Amanda Bynes, right?

[Weezy]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Keke Palmer]

But I really do wonder, you know what I'm saying? How's she doing? You know? Cause I loved her.

[Weezy]

She pops out in LA every once in a blue, and people get to see her and enjoy her company. But.

[Keke Palmer]

And, hell, maybe she's great, you know, I don't know. You know, maybe she's just like, I'm doing this for the gag of it. You know what I mean? Is she in the house like, Kiki, Kiki, you never know.

[Mandy B]

You never know.

[Keke Palmer]

You never know.

[Mandy B]

Well, now, how soon do you start telling your friends about a dude you actually like?

[Keke Palmer]

I don't have nobody else, okay?

[Mandy B]

You hate everybody.

[Keke Palmer]

I love everybody, but they don't love me. So, guys, I'm telling you. Let me ask y' all this. Cause y' all know me writing Real

[Mandy B]

Talking into podcasting now. Kiki, want to ask, though.

[Weezy]

I need to tell me you do it.

[Keke Palmer]

Do I. Do I come up, like, very professional or something? Do I not come off, like people don't really like what do I come off?

[Mandy B]

Are we giving honest honesty?

[Keke Palmer]

Stop it. Honestly. I want to give it honest now. Okay, don't play.

[Mandy B]

You look like you would laugh while sucking dick. Like you just look like nothing would be taken serious in the bedroom. Like you look like you'd be down there and be like, hey, look, guys. Like, you look like you would make a joke with the dick.

[Weezy]

I was gonna say.

[Keke Palmer]

Well, what are we supposed to do?

[Mandy B]

No, girl, wait.

[Keke Palmer]

It looks like a joke.

[Mandy B]

Here it is. Hold up. She is. No, she not doing nothing. Fallicle girl.

[Weezy]

Okay, Just color the brand. Nothing fallical. But it's just like.

[Keke Palmer]

I will not lie. I am sick. I do make jokes and stuff.

[Mandy B]

And they know that.

[Keke Palmer]

Like it may be a good time, not a long time.

[Weezy]

You add on to it.

[Mandy B]

Say something funny.

[Weezy]

Like, I didn't think you were gonna be tri colored.

[Keke Palmer]

Look at the little top hat. He's got a whole sleeve.

[Mandy B]

And that's what they think you're gonna do in the bedroom. Kiki. Kiki. See, that's okay.

[Keke Palmer]

So wait, that was hers. That was hers.

[Mandy B]

That was hers.

[Keke Palmer]

Oh, here we go. That was hers. What's yours? Tell the truth. What do I come off as? For real? Cause I feel like guys don't really know how to approach me or they don't know why they would approach me.

[Weezy]

I've seen you liked somebody and. But this was a long time ago. Call the. I think a lot of people are almost belie thinking it's unbelievable. So here's why.

[Keke Palmer]

What could be unbelievable?

[Mandy B]

One,

[Keke Palmer]

I love you. You know, you don't know how you're perceived.

[Weezy]

Okay, this is half of my guess. I think these conferences consider your age, right? I'm 35 years old. Even whatever age we are, we grew up with you. And I think. And I was at a regular party with you. I don't know if you wanna lead this in.

[Mandy B]

No, you could, but I was at

[Weezy]

a regular party with you and you went. And when you was flirting, I think he was like, is this fucking keke flirting with me? And then because you got a little nervous, you started. Nah, what are you saying?

[Keke Palmer]

I go full on Sandra Bullock, Miss Congeniality. I am, you know, I am. I am silly and bi. And that is true. I want to go back to this unbelievable, this type of thing. Like so what? So what breaks that Gila. Okay, your name's not Gila.

[Weezy]

She goes on it. But this is what I mean because you really are on screen. Who we know. I don't think people Believe it. They're like, this is her. She's disauthentic or whatever. It doesn't feel real because they're not believing. This is you. Think about how many celebrities we've come across that are fucking weird and clammy and whatever. You still are. Fun, vibrant, I don't think.

[Mandy B]

And very rich.

[Keke Palmer]

And you think that's a thing, too. But what are rich niggas? They don't want. No, I'm ready.

[Mandy B]

You're too busy. The rich men want someone available at the drop of a diamond. Guess what, Ms. KTD. Not available.

[Keke Palmer]

Come on. I do love a gig, but I feel like.

[Mandy B]

But no, girl.

[Weezy]

I just have to.

[Mandy B]

You got a whole nother little. It's funny, because I was gonna say they looking for a ride or die. And I saw you just.

[Keke Palmer]

By the way, can we talk about how that's my dream come true?

[Weezy]

Marlon.

[Keke Palmer]

Marlon Wayne. And I was like, why?

[Mandy B]

Every time I'm on the Internet, it's a new. It's something new with Keke. And I saw that, and I was like, oh, my God, Rom Com. Now this might or die.

[Keke Palmer]

I'm thrilled because I know I get to kiss him at least once.

[Weezy]

Oh, God. You get to kiss.

[Keke Palmer]

I know I get to kiss.

[Mandy B]

Is there going to be a sex scene? Give us some tea.

[Keke Palmer]

Now, I would be a joke, but I said, see, that would be crazy.

[Weezy]

But wait, you did that one when

[Mandy B]

you was kissing that girl?

[Keke Palmer]

Oh, yeah. Pimp. That's what I love. Haley keeping his. She's been here before.

[Weezy]

She always talks. She's friendly with me.

[Mandy B]

But after seeing that, I was like, so. So you're. So you're excited about that film. I did want to lean. Are you a ride or die in real life?

[Keke Palmer]

Well, what do we consider.

[Mandy B]

What is. What? It's the wrong. What? I mean, I'm not dying for nobody.

[Keke Palmer]

You know what I mean?

[Mandy B]

Like, if you go to jail, I'm not even writing you. You know, the poor.

[Keke Palmer]

Right?

[Mandy B]

You know, but, like, are you down for the long haul? If he loses his job, you gonna hold him down? If he cheats, you gonna forgive him? Cause it was a mistake.

[Keke Palmer]

Like, can I forgive someone if they've cheated? I could. Okay. If somebody. If a man. If a good man lost his job, he got down on his luck, could I hold him down? I could.

[Mandy B]

You know what's a deal breaker for you?

[Weezy]

We don't have a time limit. We need a time limit.

[Keke Palmer]

A deal breaker. Time is usually a thing. Like, that's a time. Time is A big thing for me. Like, for me and my relationships also. Like, if I feel like we're not moving forward, like, if I got into a serious relationship and we've been together for two years, and I don't feel that we are growing together, I don't really go beyond that.
