Losing Voting Rights: Redlining & The SAVE Act

[32:08–38:06]

• Gerrymandering & Redlining: The group discusses how the redrawing of congressional districts in states like Texas, Georgia, and Virginia suppresses Black electoral power.
• The SAVE Act: Mandii breaks down how the proposed law, under the guise of fighting non-citizen voting, could disenfranchise millions of women who have changed their names after marriage, requiring exact-name matches across documents.
  • “Patriarchy is afoot.” (Mandy B, 35:38)
• The impact is disproportionately felt in swing states, and hosts urge listeners—especially married women—to verify their voter registration details ahead of the midterms.
• The team critiques Republican efforts, calling the “non-citizen voting” panic a “bullshit” pretext for voter suppression (Jason, 38:06).

---

Living Through a Scam Economy

[61:04–63:50]

• Millennials and Gen Z are navigating a world where stable work and upward mobility are increasingly elusive.
• Layoffs at major companies (Cisco, Spirit Airlines, Meta) leave tens of thousands jobless.
• The “scam economy” is both literal and figurative: Dr. Cheyenne Bryant, critiqued as a scammer preying on Black women, becomes symbolic of broader predatory systems.
  • Jason points out: “The American way, though, should not be to pretend to be a credentialed professional to scam the American people who work hard for their own [money].” (Mandy B, 61:24)
• The group discusses how, in a society already loaded against Black people, internal exploitation within the community is doubly infuriating.

---

Grieving Difficult Family Relationships

[19:04–25:47]

• Mandii shares a listener’s dilemma: supporting a grieving friend whose late parent was abusive.
• Complexities of grief when relationships were toxic or estranged – is it “ignorant” not to comfort someone in this situation? (19:07)
• Jason and Yomi discuss holding space for regret, guilt, and the emotional aftermath of unresolved issues.
  • Mandii vulnerably shares her own experience of preparing for both guilt and grief regarding her estranged father and sister—“I am preparing myself to feel guilty and grief... I'm preparing myself to be guilty for not mending this relationship.” (Mandy B, 23:22)
• The team emphasizes boundaries: mental health struggles are real, but they don’t entitle people to mistreat others.

---

Financial Realities: Wages, Layoffs & The CEO Mentality

[45:21–60:29]

• Debate over wage stagnation, political promises, and entrepreneurship myths.
• Review and critique of a clip with congressional candidate Isaiah Martin and a CEO, who claims: if you don’t like your wage, work somewhere else or start a business.
  • “The idea that most people can just go and start a business...that’s the thing. Do you know what it takes to start a business?” (Mandy B, 59:19)
• Hosts dissect the fallacy of meritocracy and “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” logic, especially when corporate profits soar while worker wages lag (Cisco, Spirit, Meta layoffs).
• Mandii and Jason discuss multi-generational wealth gaps, how Americans are one emergency away from ruin, and the pain of living paycheck-to-paycheck.

---

Entertainment & Influence: Scamming in the Culture

[79:14–93:15]

• The hosts break down the controversy over Caresha’s (Young Miami) new song celebrating “scamming ass niggas” and shoplifting.
• D1, a rapper-activist, criticizes the song’s glorification of scamming; Mandii and Jason debate whether entertainment is to blame for cultural woes.
  • “She’s just highlighting how to get out of this economy situation we’re in.” (Yomi, 83:37)
• The crew emphasizes the difference between art and reality, and the responsibility of parents, churches, and communities to educate and set boundaries.

---

Celebrity Beef: Rick Ross vs. Drake

[100:09–113:17]

• Rick Ross calls Drake’s recent album “horrendous” and claims Drake is “not on his level.”
  • “They lost an hour of their life for this.” (Rick Ross, 101:26)
• Hosts reminisce on Ross & Drake’s classic collaborations and lament the feud—“Ross has the best features. Nothing even to talk about.” (Jason, 105:34)
• Discussion on celebrity fallouts, how Drake’s personal issues with peers have led to business and creative rifts. “People who have a problem with Drake pretty much say: ‘He knows why I don’t fuck with him.’” (Jason, 109:19)
• The team compares the pettiness of rap beefs with bigger, real-world problems but still appreciates the entertainment value.

• “I'm preparing myself to be guilty for not mending this relationship.” - Mandy B (23:22)
• “The American way, though, should not be to pretend to be a credentialed professional to scam the American people.” - Mandy B (61:24)
• “If you don’t like the wage, don’t work there. Go start something.” — CEO clip (56:36), critically analyzed by hosts
• “Ross has the best features. Nothing even to talk about.” - Jason Charlie (105:34)

Memorable Moments

• Mandii describes preparing herself for the inevitable guilt that will come when estranged family members pass, showing deep vulnerability. (23:22)
• The gang jokes about whether Harriet Tubman would have "shot" them if they weren't down for the cause, bringing levity to serious discussions of community solidarity. (70:40)
• The “CEO Mindset” clip and the rich investor pep talks are roasted as out of touch, as the group exposes the class divide and hypocrisy of American success myths. (64:55–67:39)
• Debate over Caresha’s song leads to a nuanced discussion about the role of culture, personal responsibility, and entertainment in shaping values.

Tone and Style

Irreverent, funny, sometimes raw, but always honest. There’s a constant push-pull between sharp cultural critique (“the patriarchy is afoot,” “pull yourself up by your bootstraps is a scam”) and reminders to protect your mental health, set boundaries, and keep enjoying life—even in hardship. The hosts drop gems, tease each other, and lean all the way into controversial pop culture with unfiltered takes.

For Listeners

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in authentic commentary at the intersection of race, politics, relationships, pop culture, and personal growth—especially through a Black, millennial, unapologetically candid lens.

What's up, y'? All? Summer's got a different tempo. Everything's a little looser, brighter. One plan turns into another. You hear something, you stay a little longer. Next thing you know, you're somewhere you didn't plan to be. It's those in between moments. That's where the ideas hit. Conversations stretch out. Little memories sneak up on you. And sometimes it's just about what's in your hand. That color. That chill. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks. Guava and passion fruit flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls.

[Jason Charlie]

Like, people were obviously mad in the comments. They're still mad right now.

[Yomi]

They fired the fuck up.

[Jason Charlie]

They're pissed off. But the funniest thing to me is that they were in there calling me fat nigga. Even on Twitter. They was like, oh, this fat nigga. I'm like, fat nigga.

[Yomi]

I was like, bro, you know what's crazy? Well, when you're on camera, it adds some weird.

[Mandy B]

Yeah.

[Jason Charlie]

And it puts on a big ass video on.

[Mandy B]

I love that you said this because I get. You know, that's me. Who is this fat bald nigga? I'm a fat bald nigga now on the comments.

[Yomi]

That's crazy. But that's the default hate, right? It's something that they oppose. They automatically attack some personal shit like, oh, that nigga hat is dirty.

[Jason Charlie]

Well, the nigga, One of the niggas in there was like, oh, he be on cnn. CNN is owned by umg and umg, it's the same companies. This nigga is paid by the Zionists to push the agenda. I was looking at the you niggas love Drake this much. I was like, wow.

[Yomi]

And technically, he would. Aubrey would be a. I mean,

[Jason Charlie]

this

[Yomi]

is the part of the room that won't get the symbol of package. These two will get it, but we won't get it.

[Mandy B]

I don't understand. Like, mind you, I'm just in the clip laughing. I like Drake and they're coming for me.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, look how she laughing. She laughing so fake. Her vein popping out of her forehead. I was like, oh, these niggas, they be going. They be going on a shout out to all y', all, man. Thank you for the engagement. I don't like. Thank you for the metrics.

[Yomi]

What I don't like about it is some of what I thought was our peers jump in And I'm watching very cautiously, like, guys, don't do it.

[Public Advertiser]

Don't do it.

[Yomi]

Cause we gonna be out. The summertime is coming.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, everybody's gonna see everybody.

[Yomi]

You can't take back certain comments.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mandy B]

Especially they getting disrespectful in there.

[Yomi]

I could tell they were struggling to figure out how participate. Because some people, I was like, ooh, that's interesting.

[Mandy B]

My homies that don't know you. Because we have a lot of mutual homies, right?

[Yomi]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

But the homies that don't know you is in the DMs, like, yo, who is your man?

[Jason Charlie]

What is this nigga doing?

[Mandy B]

What is this nigga?

[Yomi]

And Ja is on some shit like, what you gonna do about it?

[Mandy B]

And.

[Yomi]

And I love that. Cause at some point you like, all right, we can't do the 250 word essay. Like, yo, what now what?

[Jason Charlie]

What is this land of. I wanna fake fight over this nigga.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

Ja was active.

[Mandy B]

No, no, no. It's active.

[Yomi]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Jason Charlie]

But still, the patient was.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

He was replying to every single comment.

[Yomi]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jason Charlie]

Boom. Here, got something. Got something for you. Got something for my thumbs. Is going to work.

[Mandy B]

Welcome. Welcome to the Internet.

[Jason Charlie]

I had a fantastic time. I love and appreciate each and every one of you.

[Mandy B]

Because when you even were doing the bossip, it didn't feel like a direct attack. When you do the BOSSIP headlines or you're talking about celebrities, or even when you get on Twitter, even when you're on cnn, it doesn't hit like this.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, no. The format is ripe for N to be outraged and for N to be angry and upset and respond in ways that, like, attacks them emotionally. I love that shit.

[Mandy B]

I think what it goes to show more than anything is how much it's why this show even, you know, with a sexual life. It goes to show how people get so emotionally charged by someone just having a difference of an opinion.

[Jason Charlie]

That's all.

[Mandy B]

And then when they come to you about, like, why their opinion is their opinion, they can't really back it up. They can't explain why. They're just emotionally charged and they don't know why.

[Yomi]

Right? Yeah.

[Mandy B]

It's insane.

[Yomi]

You know it's barbershop talk, right?

[Mandy B]

Yeah.

[Jason Charlie]

That's what I'm talking about.

[Yomi]

So barbershop talk is, you know, you have a community of dudes, for the most part, they just engaging in conversation about dislike, like about hip hop, movies, whatever, Right? But I never seen it to a point where you're gonna say something foul to somebody that's So I think the Internet makes it a way where now we can say it foul. Cause I think I might not see you ever.

[Mandy B]

Tricky. Yeah, yeah, Tricky. Why tricky? Cause first off, that's why I'm nervous this summer. Cause I done already bought Jah around a friend and they was arguing in the strip club. Them niggas are so I'm like, jah is someone that can't let it slide.

[Yomi]

Yo, this n eating a whole T bone steak. That nigga eating beignet, but I'm gonna fuck it up. Beignets with the powder, dipping the powder. I'm like, these niggas are casually slicing each other up, eating their face, favorite foods. I'm like, y' all gonna put that down and be like,

[Weezy]

this is wheezy. WTF from Decisions, Decisions. You know, a lot of us grew up not fully trusting the healthcare system. And honestly, the system has given us plenty of reasons to feel that way. But now it's time for us to take control of the conversation, to take control of our sexual health. Learn the facts, ask questions, and advocate for ourselves. That's how we start changing the story.

[Mandy B]

So let's talk.

[Weezy]

We like to think HIV is something that affects other people, but it is hitting our own community hard. Black women make up about 13% of women in the US but account for nearly half of all new HIV diagnosis around women. And being proactive doesn't mean you just don't trust your partner. It just means you trust yourself enough to stay in control. So know your options, ask questions, and protect your peace and your body. That's real power. Because protecting yourself isn't embarrassing, it's responsible. Sex is normal. Protecting yourself should be normal too. Actually, it's kind of badass. Taking control of your sexual health is grown woman energy. Sponsored by Care for the Culture from Gilead Sciences.

[Bethenny Frankel]

This is Bethenny Frankel from Just Be With Bethenny Frankel. Let me be blunt. Most dog food is junk. It just is. And I'm not feeding junk to Biggie and Smalls. That is why they eat just food for dogs. It's real, 100% human grade food with ingredients I actually recognize. Not mystery pellets pretending to be healthy. And once I switched, the difference was obvious. Better digestion, better skin, more energy. Dogs who actually feel good instead of just surviving dinner. Here's the thing. You care about quality. You make an intentional choice to be healthy. So why are you gambling with your dog's health? So let's think about our furry babies.

[Mandy B]

I did want to bring one of the ignorant moments, so I had class assembly last week and following I stayed on with our classmates. Our problematics. By the way, Trev said we can take his gold star away for this month because he refuses to spend hours watching anything on Nature Boy.

[Jason Charlie]

That's not a first.

[Mandy B]

I'm gonna give y' all the homework if you haven't yet. Not only is there a three part Hulu doc on nature boy, babe, there's 49 parts.

[Jason Charlie]

That's a lot of parts.

[Mandy B]

Hood Whores on YouTube, I would say watch the one through eight. That gives you his childhood upbringing and his first baby mama and how he got to Atlanta first. And then I would say go to, like, 16 to 24, because that kind of shows the HIV allegations, the herpes allegations. It shows also how the women in the document. Oh, my God, Barry. Bingo card. I'm not hating women right now. But it does show how the women were also inflicting harm and pain and sexual assault to each other for him. So. And I don't know what part yet. I haven't got to. Apparently, the men were drinking his semen. So also real gay. I don't know.

[Yomi]

Yeah. The clip I saw, he was. He was saying that gay being gay is a cat spirit.

[Jason Charlie]

Oh.

[Yomi]

And he started meowing. And then he's like, meow. And then they was doing. So you watching it? I'm like, they're all behind. I'm like, ain't no way. And I'm waiting for it. I'm like, please don't do it.

[Jason Charlie]

And they did it.

[Yomi]

And you were saying, like, it was a choir. They were like, meow, meow, meow, meow.

[Mandy B]

I'm like, what?

[Jason Charlie]

Listen, yo, ain't no charisma in the world gonna make me drink nut and meow. Listen, like, I don't care how funny you are.

[Mandy B]

I'm not gonna lie.

[Jason Charlie]

Crazy. Like, what?

[Yomi]

Crazy, bro. Crazy.

[Jason Charlie]

These niggas.

[Mandy B]

I'll drink that for charisma.

[Jason Charlie]

Different. Different for me.

[Mandy B]

Different strokes for different strokes. But I did want to bring up something. I'm not going to say her name because I don't know if her friend that she was talking about listens to the show, but basically one of our dope classmates shout out to her. She knows who she is. She was like, hey, so I have an ignorant question that I want to ask you. And I was like, okay, you know what? I'm gonna bring this to the show because this is a really good question. So she's like, so I have a really good friend that for pretty much her whole life, they've known each other since they were kids. She was like. My friend has talked about how much she despises her father, how terrible he treated her, how awful he was to her. And there's never been anything good that I've heard about her relationship with her dad.

[Jason Charlie]

Okay?

[Mandy B]

Her dad recently passed.

[Jason Charlie]

Okay.

[Mandy B]

And so she's sad. She's crying. And the girl who's a classmate was like, I have a problem with how I'm supposed to show up for her. Because you've only said bad things about this person. You didn't have a relationship with him. He didn't treat you well, while he was here, I feel a way that I now have to console her for being sad about someone that I know wasn't good to her while he was here. And she was like, is it ignorant that I kind of don't wanna be there for her in this moment? And I was like, wow, this is a really good question. And I wanted to bring it to y' all because I have thoughts on it, and I have a personal attachment even to my thoughts on this. But I'm curious to know how you guys have grieved someone in your family who didn't do right by you while they were here. Or also, have you been the friend of someone who is grieving, someone that wasn't good to them? And is it ignorance, a battle, you know, with how to show up for someone during this type of thing?

[Jason Charlie]

I feel like I can't. I don't think I have a personal connection to the story as far as, like, I don't. I've never grieved anyone who did me dirty or had that kind of situation. But what I would say to the question, specifically to that thing is, like, hey, listen, man, somebody doing you bad doesn't necessarily equate to, like, emotionally how you feel about the person.

[Yomi]

Right.

[Jason Charlie]

Like, you might have an ex that did you dirty, that you love that person and you still. Emotionally, you still kind of feel a type of way about that person. But if you heard something happen to them, it would fuck you up. Or, you know, other situations where you might have had a friend who was a bad friend and y' all fell out. But you might not want the person to pass away or to die. So it can be complicated. Especially with a parent.

[Mandy B]

Yeah.

[Jason Charlie]

Because it's like, I know people that have bad relationships with their parents or at least tenuous relationships with their parents, and, you know, they went through a lot of shit when that person died. Because it's like, not only do I. Do we have a tight relationship or a bad relationship, rather, but, like, now, after you pass away, I gotta deal with all of your aftermath, the funeral and the bills and all of this administrative stuff. And it's like, that could be a tough spot to be in.

[Mandy B]

What about you, King?

[Yomi]

Yeah, you know, it's funny. I don't have a personal connection to, you know, but I think when it comes to being there for somebody, you just still have. I think there should be some grace given because that person, clearly, there's a feeling of loss, a feeling of regret, a feeling of them wishing the relationship could have been better otherwise. They'd be like, man, fuck em.

[Mandy B]

Yeah.

[Yomi]

But they're not. And I think that void, even them sharing the turbulence, that's more wise unpacking.

[Jason Charlie]

Right.

[Yomi]

If they're not going to a therapist, you're the therapist now, so I don't think we can. I don't think old girls should bottle up and have. Harbor any feelings where they can't show up for the person. I think you should definitely do it. And again, just be the shoulder in the air again, you know?

[Mandy B]

So I'm not gonna lie, when she asked that question, it hit me because I do not have a good relationship or solid relationship with my dad or my sister.

[Jason Charlie]

Okay. And older sister, Younger sister.

[Mandy B]

Younger. I'm the oldest.

[Jason Charlie]

Oh, you're the oldest.

[Mandy B]

And so for me, and this is something I've even talked about in therapy, I am preparing myself to feel guilty and grief. Hear me out. I think that they are not good people. I have a lot of history with treatment of them and ways in which they like showing up or things that they've said to me that I can't get over. And a part of me. Last year my dad went into the hospital for a heart thing. And my mom called me. And immediately I was like, I felt something.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, right.

[Mandy B]

And I didn't even. I didn't call him, didn't check on him. He lived. And I was like, oh, wow, I'm gonna. I'm preparing myself to be guilty for not mending this relationship with this human being. Same with my sister. But in present day, I don't feel like they're capable of being someone that would bring any sort of positivity into my life. I think that they're cruel.

[Jason Charlie]

Right.

[Mandy B]

They don't take accountability. They're not nice. And in a way of protecting my energy while I am here, I know that when they're gone, there's gonna be a whole lot of woulda, shoulda, coulda's.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

And knowing that I'm still not willing to.

[Jason Charlie]

I'm still not acting on it, I'm

[Mandy B]

still not active, I'm still not acting

[Jason Charlie]

on it now that I can relate to.

[Mandy B]

So in. So in her asking that story, it's crazy because I'm gonna grieve, I'm gonna feel sad. And I wonder too, if with this person that's her friend, if it's not as much as they're gone, but it's the regret in knowing that you had the chance to mend something. You had the chance to share your thoughts or emotions or get things off Your chest. But when you feel like it's not gonna be received, when you feel like that person is who that person is and they're just not great and you just don't want them in your life because they're not gonna bring anything but turmoil. Right when they're gone. Yes, I'm gonna be sad, but I think the grief is going to also be a lot of regret and guilt, which is crazy that I'm preparing myself for those feelings on top of the grief that just someone's gone. Mind you, you don't get. Oftentimes, you don't ever get another dad unless it's a stepdad, but you don't get another biological dad. And based on my mama's tubes, I ain't getting another sister.

[Jason Charlie]

So this is it.

[Mandy B]

You know what I mean? Like, and so it's it.

[Yomi]

My mom always says you only get one. Yeah, you only get one. And while they're here, do your. As long as you do your part right.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

Okay?

[Yomi]

Nothing else matters.

[Public Advertiser]

Cause you.

[Yomi]

So if you're the one that's initiating the repair, if you're the one that's saying, hey, I wanna do my best to fix this.

[Mandy B]

So that's. I'm not.

[Yomi]

But I'm saying if you get to that place, at least, even if it don't work out in the inevitability of transition, you know in your heart that you tried all you can while they were here so you won't have that guilt.

[Mandy B]

But that's what I think.

[Yomi]

Every time I'm preparing to have the

[Mandy B]

guilt, I'm preparing the guilt because I didn't have enough combos, enough. They didn't come around enough to where it's like, oh, you're not gonna change and you're not getting better. Like, I don't have it in me. I'm not a therapist. I don't have patience. And then I do have a sister that's bipolar and bpd. So, like, it's. No, wait, bpd. And what's the other one? What's the other one? BPD is bipolar disorder. And then schizophrenic. No. Multiple personalities. Borderline.

[Jason Charlie]

Okay. Right. So there's a lot going on there that contributes to why the relation. But that's also a thing where it's like.

[Mandy B]

Like, mind you, hold on. So bad. So where. You know, I just went fishing a couple weeks ago in a way to where it's like, she wasn't invited because she ruins everything. She decides to text my other sister. Hope.

[Jason Charlie]

Hope.

[Mandy B]

None of y' all get too drunk and fall off the boat. What? Mind you, bringing up the drinking and things, which has already been. That's what she says.

[Jason Charlie]

It's a cold world.

[Mandy B]

And I'm like, disgusting.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

Mind you, there's, like, layers. Disgusting.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

And that's the text that I get. And it's just like, oh, and this is why, like, you're just not invited. Like, you're an evil person and you don't even try to.

[Jason Charlie]

But knowing that she has a condition, that might also play into some of the guilt, right. Of like, yeah, this person is, like a terrible person to me, and I don't fuck with them, but I also know that they're not, like, all the way. Right.

[Mandy B]

That is my ignorance. And I will say, I know when it comes to mental health, a lot of people make excuses for their behavior, for who they are as humans, because of the neurological issues that they have. I don't know if you guys have been seeing couples therapy. Oh, no. But there's a man on there who has manipulated, who throws tantrums, but he's autistic, and everything gets blamed for his autism.

[Jason Charlie]

Right.

[Mandy B]

To me, there's a level of awareness that that can't be the excuse for everything. And unfortunately for the people on the receiving end, we don't deserve to just extend the grace and be berated and humiliated and manipulated and chastised because you have this neurological dysfunction. And so for me, that's, like, my boundary. I'm not gonna lie in full ignorance in a way that y' all know I care about mental health. I ain't got time for the niggas with those sort of psychological issues. I can't. I don't have the patience to do it. And I'm sorry, take that elsewhere. Good luck with your love life. Good luck with work. I can't be involved with somebody who. And that I'm just supposed to put up with it because they're diagnosed. I can't do it.

[Jason Charlie]

No, I think that's fair. And I think two things are true, right? Like, I have a soft pushback against excuse, because I don't think it's an excuse. I think that's what it is. But I don't think it makes the treatment okay. I don't think you have to accept it. I don't think anybody has to accept being abused basically by somebody because they have a condition, that person needs to seek help. But also, if they could help it, I guess the question would be, like, if they didn't have these afflictions Would they still be like that? And I think most of the time the answer is probably no. But some people, anyone can just be evil. Doesn't stop you from being evil. It's just because you have a condition. But chances are if people are acting out in certain kind of ways, you just know, like, that's just what it is.

[Mandy B]

And I commend anyone who. Anyone who willingly can work past and look past and heal past all of the trauma that is put onto you by dealing with someone with a diagnosis like that, you know, So I would

[Jason Charlie]

say this real quick, too.

[Mandy B]

Yep.

[Jason Charlie]

Not to the diagnosis part of it, but as far as, like, the complicated relationship between grief, guilt, and all of that kind of stuff, I would suggest everybody go watch is got. Is this week.

[Mandy B]

Was it good?

[Jason Charlie]

No, it's a great film. It's not perfect. I think people will have, like, fair criticisms of it, but I think it's a dope film.

[Mandy B]

And that's the one they're criticizing right now. Cause it's the black women going to kill the dad. Yeah.

[Jason Charlie]

The two sisters. Two twin sisters going to kill their dad for the abuse and trauma, setting them on fire. Them and their mother on fire. And I'm not gonna spoil the thing, but when the scene arrives where we finally get, like, the meeting, things that are said in there and things that happen in there and their reaction to what goes on.

[Mandy B]

So it's well written.

[Jason Charlie]

I think it's well written. I think it's well written. I think it's well directed. I think there could be some pacing issue stuff. There could be some things that, like, people who are going to take offense to the idea. These.

[Mandy B]

Yeah, no, the idea. I've already seen them.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, I've seen the dragon. I've seen a little bit of that. And I'm like, you got to see the. It's a movie. You got to see the movie to see why someone would feel that way. Because if the roles were reversed and it was two black women, if it was two black men going to kill their black mother because their black mother set them on fire and their father on fire, I think n would understand why these two niggas want to go kill her.

[Mandy B]

Yeah.

[Jason Charlie]

Like, it would kind of. Not that we want to see black people killing each other, but, like, I think that's.

[Mandy B]

That's what. That's what the issue is.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, I think that's more what it is, sensitivity to that.

[Mandy B]

But I do want to see it.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah. I think it addresses some of this thing of, like, if this person was to pass away and you. And they did you bad. How would you deal with that? Yeah, so it has some of that in there. So I would like people to go see it and then.

[Mandy B]

And I will just like for people with tumultuous relationships with their parents, as we get older, mending those or have like, it becomes even more hard, more difficult. You're looking now not at your parent as a parent, but as an adult grown person. And you get to see their flaws. You get to like look at them as a peer, essentially. Yeah, we got the same bills, we have the same, like, we're dealing with all the same things. I'm not a child anymore.

[Yomi]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

And so it becomes just a little difficult with forgiveness, I would say, at this age. But let's get into it. This is America, baby. It's been the conversation happening for a few weeks now. We do know that midterms are coming up in November fast. And yeah, it's coming.

[Jason Charlie]

It's coming very. I mean it's already May. May is actually almost pretty much over. So it's June now. So half the year is gone. Like November is coming.

[Mandy B]

And what the conversations are specifically being had currently are the fact that we are losing our voting rights and the Supreme Court is pretty much heading it because we're now seeing a lot of redlining and gerrymandering happening. Which ja. Do you want to kind of lean into that? Cuz I want to talk about the other act that's also being enacted. But talk to us about what's happening with the redlining and why it's impacting our votes.

[Jason Charlie]

Well, essentially with gerrymandering, these congressional districts are redrawn every few years. And with the redrawing of these districts, you can basically rig the election so that people who live in majority black neighborhoods are out of popularized, I guess, for lack of a better word, by other people. So you don't get to necessarily choose your representative. You might live somewhere and depending on where the map is drawn, if it's a majority black neighborhood that also includes all of these white counties and areas, then it's like you basically get drowned out because there's significantly just less of us here than there are of them. And so when these maps get redrawn in places like Texas and I believe in Georgia, and I could be wrong about this, I think in Virginia.

[Mandy B]

Virginia, yeah.

[Jason Charlie]

Virginia, yeah. Virginia was the other one. It's like they are playing these game of keeping. Not that your vote doesn't count, but they're keeping you at arm's length from being able to elect the people that you wanna elect because of how the math is.

[Mandy B]

Yep.

[Jason Charlie]

And like, this is part of their game. They know that the blue wave is probably coming. Trump has pissed off everybody. Everybody, even moderate people have seen enough of all the shit that's gone on. And they know that there's good chance they're gonna lose a lot of seats come November. And they're trying to do everything in their power, crooked and otherwise, to stop that from happening.

[Mandy B]

Now, this has been a conversation specifically. Clearly, the neighborhood's being redrawn with the black vote. However, I don't know if it's just not being talked about enough. And I wanted to talk about the SAVE Act. So the SAVE act is something that is essentially going to infect women votes. Now, let me tell you, I'm going to read it so that you can understand it, and then I'm going to explain it to you like you're a fifth grader. So the proposed SAVED act is a bill that would require people to show extra documents proving US Citizenship when registering to vote or updating their voter registration. So the bill could accidentally make voting harder for millions of eligible women. And here's how many women change their last name after getting married. Here we go. Let's blame the patriarchy.

[Jason Charlie]

Patriarchy is afoot.

[Mandy B]

Tradition has been right.

[Jason Charlie]

Patriarchy is afoot.

[Mandy B]

So when you're registering to vote, your birth certificate may still show your original last name, while your driver's license and voter registration will show your married name. Well, under the SAVE act, election officials could require documents that exactly match, hello, your birth certificate. And these things aren't gonna match after marriage. So it's gonna create kind of issues or obstacles and loopholes that you're gonna have to jump through to even get your voter registration. Now, supporters of the bill say that of course, this is to prevent noncitizens from voting.

[Jason Charlie]

Of course.

[Mandy B]

However, we also do see that even in the last election, specifically, not only black women, but women as a whole normally also do lean blue, especially following the reversal of Roe v. Wade and

[Jason Charlie]

women Vote and women majority eligible voters,

[Mandy B]

a lot of women also do care about our rights as women, the autonomy of women. And so they're leaning into this, saying it's to keep these non citizens from voting. But essentially it's really going to have a strong impact on a lot of women who are married. And so for those of you who have changed your name or even hyphenated your name, especially if you're in these tricky states where they kind of Flip flop between, you know, blue and red, depending on who's running throughout history, I would encourage you to go and make sure that you're where you need to be come time to vote. So midterms are here, but then of course in two more years we have the big one.

[Yomi]

Right.

[Mandy B]

And that's the also tricky part right now because I don't know if you see the conversations of what's happening with all of these meetings where there are Republican head Supreme Court judges pretty much acting like they don't know whether or not Trump can run for a third term, as if it's not constitutional. They are literally looking to weave in through the Constitution and find any loophole to allow this man to be a dictator of this country. And it's getting scary. So ladies, especially ones that are married and have taken on the name of your spouse, please look into what is happening with this SAVE act, how you can be sure that your vote counts and make sure you show up to the polls.

[Jason Charlie]

The thing with this whole SAVE act is that, and I may be at the risk of giving them too much credit, like the Republicans pushing this idea know that it's bullshit. Like the idea that there are non citizens voting, like that's not even really a thing. Like they've done studies on this. They've done multiple studies on multiple platforms have done studies on this thing. And there's like less than 000, 0.1% incidence of not only non citizens.

[Mandy B]

Let's be very clear. You know who was very loud during the last election? Felons.

[Jason Charlie]

Right.

[Mandy B]

In support of a felon. But they literally. And you know, I had the conversation with Chaotic. Is that his name? The one I saw backstage? Yeah, Chaotic. Like there's also a loud voice of people who don't have voting rights speaking to voting and who to vote for even when they can't vote, who they can't vote. So like them leaning into this seeming like it's a non citizen thing. Yeah, it's just making it, it's just trying to make it easier.

[Jason Charlie]

Any advantage you can get, that's what they want.

[Weezy]

This is weezy. Wtf from Decisions, Decisions. You know, a lot of us grew up not fully trusting the healthcare system. And honestly the system has given us plenty of reasons to feel that way. But now it's time for us to take control of the conversation, to take control of our sexual health, learn the facts, ask questions and advocate for ourselves. That's how we start changing the story.

[Mandy B]

So let's talk.

[Weezy]

We like to think HIV is something that affects other people, but it is hitting our own community hard. Black women make up about 13% of women in the US but account for nearly half of all new HIV diagnoses around women. And being proactive doesn't mean you just don't trust your partner. It just means you trust yourself enough to stay in control. So know your options, ask questions and protect your peace and your body. That's real power. Because protecting yourself isn't embarrassing, it's responsible. Sex is normal. Protecting yourself should be normal too. Actually, it's kind of badass.

[Yomi]

The married American woman is upset right now, and they hold a lot of weight. What are they upset about? Well, just the direction of the country.

[Mandy B]

Of the country? Yeah.

[Yomi]

Usually the narrative was that the woman, the white woman, will vote like her man despite whatever she says on social media or in her circle of friends. Right, right. They might be pretending to be ally in terms of how they vote, but when they actually vote, they vote. They live. I think that's in jeopardy. Right?

[Mandy B]

You bringing that up? Also, couples therapy, new season. There's a couple on there with two difference of political views.

[Yomi]

Oh, shit, that's not gonna happen.

[Mandy B]

And no, no, no, it's really interesting

[Yomi]

because who's a Democrat, who's a liberal?

[Mandy B]

The woman.

[Jason Charlie]

The woman.

[Mandy B]

So it's crazy.

[Yomi]

Is she white?

[Mandy B]

You know, they're both white. So it's really interesting because even you see the dynamic where the therapist asks, so can you guys both explain what each other cares about? Because, of course, when you're politically leaning, there's a reason. And it's so funny because the way they both explained each other was like, oh, this is where we're at. So the therapist was like, what does she care about? And he was like, you know, women's rights and the gays and the LGBTQIA community. And, like, I care about them too. But, like, she really cares about them. And then the therapist was like, and what does he care about? Taxes and money. And it was like, oh, wow. And these are the conversations literally pulling us apart and making us vote differently in the polls. And so, like, read up on what's impacting. And that's another thing. Whether they're local on a federal level, when you get into voting, really look at what these people want to do.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

Look at their policies that they're trying to push. Look at their agendas. Really see how they align with you. Even if you can see someone in red and their policies align. Like, vote with who aligns with your policies. Let's stop being so color focused. But we have to sit here and lean on policy. And baby, if you believe in women's rights, Then Republicans don't really care about what we do with our bodies and how we have autonomy for ourselves.

[Jason Charlie]

Well, that's part of the thing, too. Like that example of the couples therapy thing. I think that is where we're at, and I think distilled down to an even lower level than women's rights, LGBTQ and taxes is the idea of who do you care about actually, do you care about Empire or do you care about people?

[Weezy]

Oop.

[Jason Charlie]

If you care about Empire, then yeah, taxes, corporations, even people who aren't in the tax bracket that would be affected are acting as if they care about that, and it affects them. Like, I have a homie, a former homie, who was kind of acting like that around the time when you make $65,000.

[Mandy B]

You talking about tax brackets is crazy.

[Jason Charlie]

Even if you make $250,000 a year, the tax bracket. Mondami in York, he's talking about taxing, like, the 1%, 1%, like, n that make $200 million a year. And niggas who make $200,000 a year acting like that's them. Like, no, that's not you.

[Mandy B]

That's you.

[Jason Charlie]

Niggas would kill themselves if they had your bank account. Like, what are you talking about? That's not your fight, but you're fighting this on their behalf. So it's like, do you care about people? Do you care about maintaining this American status quo of the empire? And, like, that is really what it speaks to where people are at right now. And if you care about the empire, people about. People are looking at you crazy.

[Mandy B]

Now we're bringing up money. There's a clip of Trump that I want us to play. If you could play that. And then we'll get into the CEO. Because I think when we talk about people caring about people, it's, do people have the money to afford a roof over their head and food in their mouths? Is this. Yes. If you could play this clip.

[Jason Charlie]

Democrats and political pundits, the people get it jumped all over this that you made the other day.

[Mandy B]

You were asked on the.

[Jason Charlie]

When you were leaving, to what extent

[Mandy B]

are American financial situations motivating you to make a deal? Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters that I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about American financial situation. I don't think about anybody.

[Jason Charlie]

I think about one thing.

[Mandy B]

You cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.

[Jason Charlie]

That's all. That's right. That's a perfect segment. Make it again. But you can imagine how Many people stop the sound button at I don't think about America's financial situation. So what's your response to that framework? It's very simple. When people hear me say it, everybody agrees short term pain. It's going to be short term pain, but the pain is much less than people thought.

[Mandy B]

And this is.

[Yomi]

I got a question.

[Mandy B]

Yes. The way you were looking through them glasses.

[Yomi]

No, I just got a question. What I love about. And don't clip me up.

[Jason Charlie]

That's how it starts.

[Yomi]

What I love about. I know. Nah, look, this guy stands on whatever he stands on all the time for the last eight to 10 years. I think we get in this psychosis of thinking that he's gonna say something opposed to how he's been talking down to us the whole time. That's one, two. This Iran conversation. Iran, sorry.

[Mandy B]

Yes.

[Yomi]

I think when the war started, they said, hey, the American people, we don't have the ballistics. None of this shit that we got going on could reach the American soil.

[Jason Charlie]

Right.

[Mandy B]

That's been said.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

Which is why they were dropping all bombs in the places that their missiles could.

[Jason Charlie]

They could get to.

[Mandy B]

That they could get to. Yes.

[Yomi]

There's probably three other countries that I could think of off the top of my head that maybe can do that.

[Jason Charlie]

Right.

[Mandy B]

Yeah.

[Jason Charlie]

It's not a lot.

[Yomi]

Not that I'm encouraging.

[Jason Charlie]

No, of course.

[Yomi]

Absolutely not.

[Jason Charlie]

But.

[Yomi]

But this is the Okie doke, bro. Big Okie doke. To say you don't care about American people. The American people now digest that and come November, get to it. Right.

[Jason Charlie]

Get what you get, I'm afraid.

[Yomi]

But I'm afraid my fear is that people ignoring this type of shit and they gonna continue to ignore it and they gonna go to the poll around it.

[Mandy B]

But did all that happen in terms of.

[Yomi]

They did it in some of the primaries. They didn't go how we thought they should have went? No, that just happened. Not the locals in Kentucky and a couple other states. Even in Georgia, bro, the Supreme Court picks. It's like removing the designation the Democratic Republic from the nominees and people are just voting for the incumbent.

[Jason Charlie]

It confused a lot of people. I saw a lot of people who were complaining on threads about how confusing the ballot was. You saw that people taking pieces of paper into the booth to write down. We have to do better and more

[Yomi]

of informing the PDF because we don't have the time afforded. Remember how we talked about early on about the sibling or the parent or whatever who you might have issues with? We got issues and we here to fix It. Otherwise, after November, we might not be

[Jason Charlie]

able to fix shit.

[Mandy B]

Yeah, but also, if you don't understand policy, right? If you don't understand what these bills and acts and laws are and how they will impact you, this is your president saying he's not even concerned about your financial give fuck about.

[Jason Charlie]

None of that.

[Mandy B]

Like, he don't give up. So to me, even if you are ignorant, even if you don't understand policy and law and all the jargon that is involved in that, because it's a lot, right? You understand.

[Jason Charlie]

You understand when a nigga say, I don't give a fuck about you, I

[Mandy B]

don't give a fuck about you.

[Jason Charlie]

Actually, that's brave.

[Yomi]

All y' all paid for them videos where he used Aubrey's songs and Iceman shit, though.

[Mandy B]

You know that, Mind you, let's also do this to. Let's also talk about how he's like, it's gonna be very short term.

[Yomi]

What's short term?

[Mandy B]

Short term. Two months, but you ready?

[Yomi]

Six months.

[Mandy B]

You ready? I grew up in a household that we were always one emergency away, but being completely behind.

[Jason Charlie]

And that's a majority of the American people.

[Yomi]

A majority of the American people.

[Mandy B]

You were in a place where I'm seeing people say that they're not going out anymore because gas prices are so high. You have people like. Like, literally someone on Twitter took a receipt, found a receipt from 2006.

[Yomi]

It was 79 items. It was like $162.

[Mandy B]

We all have the same algorithm.

[Yomi]

Oh, no.

[Mandy B]

And they were like, they looked at what, prices of eggs, chicken, all the things. They were like, wait, you were able to get all these groceries for this much money? If this would be.

[Jason Charlie]

And it was 10 years ago, this

[Mandy B]

would be $300 today.

[Yomi]

And mind you, that time, motherfuckers were still clipping coupons then.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, then.

[Yomi]

So imagine now. Crazy, bro.

[Mandy B]

And so for anyone. And clearly, he's wealthy. Clearly, we know the wealthy people do not care about anyone underneath. It's crazy, because I literally just had to have this conversation with a friend of mine who is well off. Boyfriend number two. Boyfriend number two, very well off. And I was like, yo, who do you. Who do you get to complain about the price of life to right now? Because.

[Jason Charlie]

Cause you got it.

[Mandy B]

And everyone assumes I got it. And, bitch, I'm like, God damn, this is expensive. I ain't gonna hold you. I cooked this week. I did.

[Yomi]

Domesticated. Mandy.

[Mandy B]

No, no, no, no. I've been cooking. I got my Tupperware.

[Yomi]

Mandy, meal prep.

[Jason Charlie]

Mandy meal prep. Mandy meal Prep.

[Yomi]

Listen, nice, real.

[Mandy B]

I'm about to go sprouts. They said they got a whole little meal. You get family of four for $30. Like, I'm about to do that. But, like, I was like, life is, like, expensive. It's when you go out, it's when you drive.

[Yomi]

It's when you, like, you can't take a without without. You know how much toilet paper is. Yeah. Septic tank toilet paper. You can't just buy a regular ass

[Jason Charlie]

because trash bags, you're gonna cause more problems.

[Yomi]

Trash bags is crazy.

[Mandy B]

It's high. And so I'm just like. Like the fact that our president, who has a way to. First off, y' all see where we at? Where the simmies at? Where the simmies at? This the nigga that y' all was like, he gave us $200. He gave us money, though. Where the money at?

[Jason Charlie]

I hate that that narrative even took hold.

[Mandy B]

I hate it.

[Jason Charlie]

But the thing that is crazy about this particular Trump comment is that that's what they always try to sell us on. Anytime they want to do, they go external. They say, oh, short term pain. Short term. Like, first off, to your point, people can't afford short term pain. You can't afford no extra pain. Everything already hurts right now.

[Yomi]

Yeah.

[Jason Charlie]

Niggas is in traction with the arms, legs up in the air. You talking about suffering from pain?

[Mandy B]

Yeah.

[Yomi]

Financial pain, right?

[Jason Charlie]

Yes. You cam skippy.

[Mandy B]

We do.

[Jason Charlie]

So the idea that short term pain is just nothing like.

[Yomi]

No, we got financial aid.

[Mandy B]

It can put you out in the streets.

[Yomi]

Yeah.

[Jason Charlie]

Most people, if they had a $10,000 emergency right now, oh, it's gone.

[Yomi]

They ran through that. No, they ran through.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mandy B]

I mean, I say that too, though. Like, when I got ready to quit my. My career, one of the things that I was like, before I leave, let me have a savings account. I grew up. No one in my family has a savings.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

Like, even I was having that conversation even with my mom and my sister last week, I was like, what, What. What does your account look like? Like, what number has to be in your account to. To make you feel like you're okay? And it's not a lot for people. As long as there's a comma, they're like, ooh, I could breathe. But that's $1,000 for some. It could be 2,000 for some. But then your bills are that every month, so, like, you can't miss one check.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, no, that will fuck you up. There's a viral video going around right now. I don't know if y' all saw this. It's of a group of white people and they are finding out who's the richest in the room and they're casting their bank apps to the tv. Cannot relate. They're casting their bank apps to the TV screen and they're saying who has the most savings in the room? It's like a group of like six or seven white people.

[Mandy B]

Oh, wow.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

That's the age range.

[Jason Charlie]

They look like they're in their mid-30s, maybe some of them in the early 40s, but they look like they're anywhere from like maybe late 20s to maybe in their early 40s or whatever. And like they're like, oh, Catherine, she has, you know, $9,500 in savings. Oh, bill has $10,000 in savings. The richest person in the room with savings account had $44,000.

[Mandy B]

Wow.

[Jason Charlie]

So it's like 44,000.

[Mandy B]

That's someone's salary.

[Jason Charlie]

That's what I'm trying to say. Like you can chip away at $44,000 real quick.

[Mandy B]

But did you see the other video that's been going viral? So there's a guy in the mall who asks the same thing. How much is in your checking account right now? And the people in the mall, all different races, colors, ages, negative, $16, $24. One person had 900 and something dollars. But just at the mall asking people, and there were so many people with less than $1,000 in their account. Less than $100. There was a few people with less than 100. And one person had a negative balance. Why he was in the mall, I don't know.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, yeah. You gotta go somewhere else. You need to go to the park or go.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

You were scared for that pocket watch.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, that's what it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This must have been what it was.

[Mandy B]

We're hurting out here.

[Jason Charlie]

There's people with good six figure jobs who are just paying their rent, getting their bills and getting by now real quick.

[Mandy B]

Speaking of jobs, I do want to get into this Isaiah Martin clip if we can, because this says a lot of where we are in this country right now. So, Yomi, if you can play this

[Yomi]

for us, por favor, Mrs. 20V. Who is he talking to?

[Mandy B]

20V, one he is talking to.

[Jason Charlie]

I prefer Abby asks the questions. For sure.

[Mandy B]

Let me see. I don't know the CEO. It's okay, we can talk to each other.

[Yomi]

Do you think that it's insane to say that Starbucks should wage.

[Jason Charlie]

Should raise their wages for their workers?

[Yomi]

Is that insane to say?

[Jason Charlie]

As a concept, I think That I believe in free markets. And if a private company sets their wages what they are, and that's what they are.

[Mandy B]

And if you don't like the wage, if you don't like the wage, don't go work there.

[Jason Charlie]

I've applied for hundreds of jobs where they didn't meet my minimum. I wanted to make, and I didn't go work there. We understand that when Trump was running for president, he said that he was

[Yomi]

going to raise the wages.

[Jason Charlie]

All these workers all across America, real

[Yomi]

wage growth is 80% less than what it was.

[Jason Charlie]

So that's the real facts. So if you make a campaign promise that you're going to raise wages for workers all across this country and you

[Yomi]

do not deliver on that, then who

[Jason Charlie]

does that fall on? Well, I don't think the president's point was he was going to go tell private enterprise you have to pay people.

[Yomi]

He said he was going to create the economic conditions to do so.

[Jason Charlie]

Has he done that? That doesn't mean that he was going to go invade businesses, boardrooms and say you have to pay your taxes. Did he create the economic conditions to go and do business? You can spin this. The President of the United States States is not going to. He didn't make a promise to go and invade boardrooms and tell companies, private

[Mandy B]

families, how much they should pay their

[Jason Charlie]

mothers, like mine and others at this table, do what they have to do to. To go and provide for their families. And my father, also, for the record, worked several jobs as well.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

But he looks like a good.

[Jason Charlie]

My point that I'm making, I would not complain that my CEO is making all this money. If I had an issue with that, I would go start something, I would go create something. I would go create memes for me to go and make more money. That's what I wanted to do. We live in a country where that is available. We live in a country where people. We actually don't live in a country that's available.

[Yomi]

Here's the thing. The idea that we should just continue business as normal, it's just simply not working. We know that we have 1.1 million layoffs just last year alone.

[Jason Charlie]

That's the highest number since when Trump was last president in 2020, and then even before that, the biggest number since the Great Recession. So at the reality that we stand today, I think instead of spending $400

[Yomi]

million on a Qatari plane and all these other things that Trump is spending money on, let's put money towards universal

[Jason Charlie]

childcare so that someone like your mom does not have to Go and work

[Yomi]

two and three jobs to go and provide for her children.

[Jason Charlie]

My mom, she would work anyway.

[Yomi]

Well, she shouldn't have to do that.

[Mandy B]

By the way, for those of you not watching the video on YouTube, this is a black man, by the way.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Yomi]

Talking like that.

[Mandy B]

This is a conversation among. Amongst black people.

[Yomi]

I get what he's saying, but the problem is, yeah, we want everybody to get out and get something, but where's the something?

[Mandy B]

But that's the thing too.

[Yomi]

There's no something. Everybody trying to get to it. It's not like the lack of not doing it. We're doing it.

[Mandy B]

But this idea that, okay, I don't like what wages I'm seeing at these certain jobs that are hiring, let me just go create this wealth for myself. The idea that, yes, we live in a country where you can be an entrepreneur, but the idea that most people can just go and start a business, that's the thing. Do you know what it takes to start a business?

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah. That costs money. You don't have any money.

[Mandy B]

It costs money that you don't have.

[Jason Charlie]

That's a loan that you might not qualify for. We're talking about three to five years.

[Mandy B]

It's a credit card that you might not have.

[Yomi]

You're going to be in the red for three to five years.

[Jason Charlie]

It has an APR of 38%.

[Mandy B]

I mean, when we talk about the investment, I would love for you guys, if you're not on Patreon, to go listen to the last class assembly. I may actually post it here, at least a portion of the conversation because it was really interesting to also know that we as millennials, right, 30, 40 year olds, we got into the system of being fed the red Kool Aid of, well, you need this degree to also get a good paying job. And what we're seeing right now is a lot of us are stuck in debt. A lot of people are not using their degrees because they're either outdated or you're now overqualified for certain positions that you can't get.

[Yomi]

Could be that or all day.

[Mandy B]

The jobs that are really paying are now saying, well, your degree kind of doesn't matter. It's skill, it's previous experience. It's all of these things to where what the fuck are we doing? And then unfortunately, Cisco laid off 16,000 people. We saw Spirit Airlines 17,000 people meta 18,000 people. We are also in a workforce where tens of thousands of people are looking for work and there's just no jobs. And then unfortunately, what are we talking about? Former managers of C suite or C suite level positions now having to go and work at the mall at fast food, below their pay grade because there's just no jobs out here.

[Yomi]

You know what?

[Mandy B]

What

[Yomi]

I think we were wrong about. Oh, I think Dr. Cheyenne Bryant was right.

[Mandy B]

Yo, shut the up. Shut.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

She.

[Yomi]

She created a pathway to get out of this. We over here judging her and critiquing her, right? But she ain't hollering, hooping and hollering at the pump. She is living.

[Jason Charlie]

Okay, so we need more scams. I think maybe that's not a scam.

[Yomi]

Maybe that's just the American way.

[Mandy B]

The American way, though, should not be to pretend to be a credentialed professional to scam the American people who work

[Yomi]

hard for their own niggas scamming niggas. She ain't talking to them white folks.

[Mandy B]

And to me, though, that's even worse. Oh, and I love that you said that, because the conversation has been like, why we we? And when I say we, it's black women attacking another black woman. But while we're talking about what type of economy we exist in, the idea that we would continue to platform a person who is literally taking advantage of our community, taking advantage of hardworking black and brown women, because that's also who's going to pay for her services 1000%. She is taking advantage of those people that work hard for their money because she's positioned herself as someone who could help the community, when in fact, she's only lining her pockets. She's only able to exist in the world of fame and enter these rooms and hang with these celebrities. But the actual reality is she's kind of no different than Trump. She don't give a fuck about your financial standing. She doesn't give a fuck about what lines her pockets, as long as they keep lining. Cuz. Sorry. Cheyenne Bryant. I saw your pool in your backyard. Looks beautiful. The cabana, the people working for you. It looks great that you're able to live the life that you're able to live. But I hate that it's at the detriment of fucking black women. And so when we talk about black women critiquing another black woman, what sucks is when we talk about this economy, when we see other people say, just get more jobs. Stop complaining. Stop crying.

[Yomi]

Get up off your ass.

[Mandy B]

If we're gonna sit here and critique these other people that have stuff to say about how we should be living, if we're critiquing Trump as our president, if we're. If we're Telling people to get out there and vote. We should be able to critique someone who has taken advantage of our community, and that's what she's doing. Sorry, Ace, I don't know if you could sit us on stage next to each other for tonight's conversations anymore. But to me, as someone who has met her, as someone who has heard her talk against what she be preaching to the masses behind the scenes, I actually feel infuriated that now the narrative is that black women are jealous of her, that black women are just haters, that black women are just tearing down another black woman, when in fact she's sitting here infiltrating herself into our community and lining her pockets with the bullshit she's doing. And I just don't like it. Clip that up.

[Yomi]

Damn, nigga.

[Jason Charlie]

Fuck you, nigga.

[Yomi]

It's an alarming economy.

[Jason Charlie]

Pussy ass ho.

[Mandy B]

Pussy ass ho.

[Jason Charlie]

So one of the worst parts about what it is that we're talking about is that that, like, the conservative white people vote for this shit, and some of them are just as affected by all of this shit as everybody else. Like, it's obviously gonna do damage to black and brown people, but it's doing white people dirty too, and they keep voting against their own interests. So my homie sent me this clip the other day of this guy who attended a. I guess this is like a business conference. Grant Cardone.

[Yomi]

Oh, God.

[Jason Charlie]

Is like an investor. Multimillion dollar investor investor. And so this clip is. Is going viral. It used to be like a. Maybe like a half of this. And I guess now this is like the full clip now that has come out. And I just want you to listen to what this guy says to this room full of people. And the advice that he gets from this multi billionaire is like, exactly the problem of what we're talking about right here. Wow.

[Public Advertiser]

I'm a small fish in a big pond. I have a mindset question.

[Yomi]

So I took a two loans to get here today.

[Mandy B]

I don't even have money for a hotel. Slept.

[Jason Charlie]

Give him a big hand, guys. Homeless dude.

[Yomi]

But just.

[Public Advertiser]

Yes, we slept in my car the past two nights.

[Jason Charlie]

But I just wanted to show up.

[Mandy B]

So my question is, how do you

[Jason Charlie]

10x your mindset to like, break through

[Public Advertiser]

that fear of just, like, getting to the next point?

[Jason Charlie]

You know, the thing you need to start doing is collecting money. So you.

[Mandy B]

Your mindset.

[Jason Charlie]

Mind's not your problem, bro.

[Mandy B]

Like, you're sleeping in a car.

[Jason Charlie]

99 of the people in this room, probably no one else in the room is willing to do that, including Myself. You need to pick up a check. Like I would tell you, before today is over, you should get somebody to give you 500 bucks.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

It's the music.

[Jason Charlie]

Like this profound Target brainwashing. Yeah, I need 500 bucks. It starts with the first 500 or 100. 100 or 50, whatever the number is that you need to be like, I need to get somebody to give me something. And there we go.

[Yomi]

That worked.

[Public Advertiser]

So somebody asked, what. What do I do?

[Mandy B]

Hold on, hold on, hold on, bro. Wait, what is. Is this a skit?

[Yomi]

I've been to plenty of conferences. I know. I've been never just. They go, all right, you got an internship.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

So God's plan.

[Jason Charlie]

This is God's plan.

[Mandy B]

So they're giving him bum bail.

[Jason Charlie]

They're literally giving him bum bail. Why? But they're giving. They're. They're literally giving handouts to this white man because while they would tell us that we're begging for handouts, that we're worthless, that we're begging the government to fix our problems, and Whoopi, Whoopi, Whoop. This is a multi. Multi billionaire person who manages billions of dollars worth of money. And the first thing he tells him, oh, you just need somebody to give you some bread. Oh, you need to just go get a check. What kind of advice is that? A B. Your advice to him is just get people to give you money. Not me, not the person who could actually probably help you. These other people.

[Mandy B]

These other people.

[Yomi]

Well, he never got a chance to because they just gave him fucking money. We never see him ask in front

[Mandy B]

of a room of people. He said, not only are you, oh, you're homeless, but you're willing to sleep in the car. Which I. And I'm sure no one would ever do that. But, yeah, just go out there and

[Jason Charlie]

beg and beg and just tell someone to give you something.

[Yomi]

But he never beg. I want to see who he was gonna go to first.

[Jason Charlie]

I would've went right there. Walked right up to him like, yeah,

[Mandy B]

when a black person does it, though, it's awful. Or when a black person is struggling because of, unfortunately, the circumstances that we are put into because of years.

[Jason Charlie]

You're a welfare queen. You're a bum. You're a leech on society. You need to go get a job. You need to work harder. You're not ambitious.

[Yomi]

You got the same 24 hours.

[Jason Charlie]

We got the same 24 hours, bro. If I can do it, why don't you go do it?

[Mandy B]

But even what else I saw when I was watching this cooked well. This reminded me heavily of when I watched the Manosphere Doc. Oh, that reminded me of a lot of a man just lost, broke, doesn't have his money, so he's looking to just a man to look up to instead of just bitch, go get a job. And that's what I saw on the Manosphere Doc. These guys were saying they ain't got no money, they just worked out on the beach all day and they were just trying to get good looking enough and hopefully get enough money to bag a woman. Yep. But they looked up to the Myron Gaines. They looked up to these red pill pod niggas as gods.

[Yomi]

You wanna do it?

[Mandy B]

What? What are we doing?

[Yomi]

Keep going.

[Mandy B]

What are we doing? What? What?

[Yomi]

No, they do, but it's an economy, just people. That's type of shit.

[Weezy]

Yeah.

[Yomi]

I think they had a Manosphere conference. I don't know if it's called Manosphere, but it was with the General. I don't want to say that's what it sounds.

[Jason Charlie]

That's what it sounds like.

[Yomi]

And it was only maybe 100 people. Maybe, but maybe less. But if you look at the character of man that was in that crowd, bro, it was like, yo, these are all insecure. Who would see you in the street and talk all kind of crazy, wild shit to you with the expectation that

[Jason Charlie]

you gonna give him a little whatever,

[Mandy B]

a little bit of pull.

[Yomi]

But this is. Oh, yeah, my bad. But no, that's that. This is. We got a lot of fights.

[Mandy B]

Yeah.

[Yomi]

A lot of internal, spiritual, financial, moral. And I don't know how we get out of this shit.

[Mandy B]

I'm not gonna lie.

[Yomi]

I don't know how.

[Mandy B]

This is what I've been saying. Y' all know I love Antoinette and she believes we will see world peace in our day only if there's alignment.

[Yomi]

Only when there's alignment, there's no alignment.

[Mandy B]

Sometimes we see things like this and like I said, the nature bo. And as long as we still have people willing to ride and die as a proud boy and a maga, for someone to be a leader such as Trump, there's no way we see it because unfortunately we are a lot of people. And yes, I'm an individualist too, so I'm not gonna like be a hypocrite here. But there's a lot of people that only serve self interest and there's a lot of people that don't care about others.

[Jason Charlie]

There's no sense of community. Good.

[Mandy B]

The lines of. And let's be very clear, the lines of racism. We are in a war Right now, where white people are scared they are going to lose their spot in the

[Yomi]

world, that nobody's threatening white supremacists, that

[Mandy B]

nobody's threatening, but they feel like they are threatened. Right now. They feel threatened.

[Jason Charlie]

And the perspective is, nigga, if you think that you're fucked, how you fuck.

[Mandy B]

You think we God damn, like, y'

[Jason Charlie]

all got everything and you think you're fucked. So, like, what does that say for everybody else that you try to put under your thumb for a thousand years?

[Mandy B]

Boom.

[Jason Charlie]

Like, ooh, these niggas is crazy, man.

[Yomi]

What I would implore us to do, though, as people that are melanin, look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself this question. If you existed back in the days with Harriet Tubman, would she have shot you? Cause you know how they say, I

[Mandy B]

didn't think you were gonna get back?

[Yomi]

No, wait, I thought you were gonna

[Mandy B]

go so much cheaper.

[Yomi]

Nah, listen, looked at yourself in the mirror. Damn, am I a nigga that she was with a shot? Ask yourself, cuz. That's the only way. I think when you.

[Mandy B]

Wait a second, you hear the.

[Yomi]

That was the most. See this?

[Mandy B]

Wait, y. You thought. Wait, did y' all not think he was gonna.

[Jason Charlie]

I actually turn around like, oh, this nigga's about to cut.

[Mandy B]

What?

[Yomi]

Look yourself in the mirror and say, damn, am I the. That she would have shot?

[Mandy B]

Wait, she was shooting.

[Jason Charlie]

Don't leave me hanging.

[Yomi]

They said that. You know how they have the. Oh, my bad, bro. My bad, my bad, my bad, my bad. Nah, no. You know how they said black people. Well, they said that, you know, if she tried to free niggas, if they weren't.

[Jason Charlie]

He was on with the program, she might catch somebody. You know what I mean? So think about.

[Yomi]

Put yourself in that environment. Harriet Tubman would have shot your ass.

[Mandy B]

Listen, y' all know yomi not American, but she looking this up for us. She's like, wait, look, Harriet Tubman never shot or killed any of the people she led on the Underground Railroad. However.

[Jason Charlie]

However.

[Mandy B]

However. Read on. However, she carried a pistol for protection and to maintain strict discipline.

[Yomi]

So that identified not just the oppressor, but the niggas. She knew niggas was weak. Somebody in line is gonna be acting.

[Jason Charlie]

Stay in line. Fuck, nigga, we going to freedom.

[Yomi]

I could name 20 niggas right now that got blasted. She probably had to.

[Mandy B]

It does say, too. Hold on. In terms of the Underground Railroad discipline, on rare occasions when a fugitive got cold feet or threatened to return back to the plantation, she would point the gun at them and Threaten to shoot them, famously telling them, go on or die.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

See, she ran a strict program.

[Yomi]

Ask yourself, would she have told you to go on and die?

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

Yeah, Go on or die.

[Yomi]

Because I'm saying, Virginia, you either go down, grandma kill, you go and die.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, like, nigga, don't.

[Yomi]

You can't go and die. You go and die.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

Why you make hard draw like that? Y' all see how New Yorkers are

[Yomi]

part Geechee, part Geechee. I'm part seven, partially you real New York. I know I'm super New Orleans, man. But no, but just the concept of everybody ain't not. You know, that everybody not gonna go. But if we on a mission, if we in alignment and we trying to get over the next shit, and one of you niggas get out of pocket.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

This was a thing.

[Yomi]

One of you niggas get out of pocket.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Yomi]

We trying to meet yomi and her grandmother on the other side of this. And if y' all need my grandma out of. If y' all niggas act up, guess what? You see this shotgun?

[Jason Charlie]

Hey, man, listen.

[Yomi]

Right through your throat.

[Jason Charlie]

This ain't boys in the hood. If you trade, you can't get out the car, bro.

[Yomi]

They gotta go.

[Jason Charlie]

Cause then you gonna go.

[Yomi]

Because once you go back to the plantation, you know what they gonna do. Yo, you know they on that trail, right? You know, and then you know what's gonna happen, Henry? They gonna go on and die your ass. And then you just.

[Mandy B]

Yeah. Cause he gonna ask not to stay in the hole too long. Cause you know he going in the hole. When he go back to the place,

[Jason Charlie]

they gonna make an example of you. Autumn slaves gonna get dragged back to the plantation. They gonna see your ass hanging from a tree. You a snitch and a turn.

[Yomi]

You think the go and die was light skins?

[Mandy B]

Here we go.

[Yomi]

Those are the house. They said those are the house. What about the light skins? Those are the ones that want to be in the house.

[Jason Charlie]

They might have been scared. They might have been more scared.

[Yomi]

Not saying you.

[Mandy B]

Yeah, I mean, you looking right at me, talking about house.

[Jason Charlie]

I don't like.

[Yomi]

No, no, no. You're not a house for sure. We've already examined.

[Mandy B]

I would not. I would have been a baby. They would have, like, threw in.

[Yomi]

No, no, no. You a rebel. Mandy the rebel.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

He did call you the M. Mandy will call.

[Yomi]

You see what happened?

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

You did call her domesticated.

[Mandy B]

Mandy domesticated.

[Yomi]

Well, that's because she's meal prep. Mandy.

[Mandy B]

Well, now you looking at me. Talk about house. And I Don't like I didn't want

[Yomi]

you to feel, like I said, light skinned, but I know you're not a house, okay? I think you would have probably told Harriet like you see them shoot him

[Jason Charlie]

out of the way. That's a puss ass, yo.

[Yomi]

That whole line would have been 50 to 5. Manny would have made sure it's only five of us.

[Mandy B]

Cause y' all know I want freedom. I ain't following the rules, okay? Oh my God, I'm not doing it.

[Yomi]

Ask yourself.

[Mandy B]

This was not a part of the outline. Guys. Not sure how we got here, but welcome to selective ignorance.

[Weezy]

This is Weezy. WTF from Decisions Decisions.

[Mandy B]

You know, a lot of us grew

[Weezy]

up not fully trusting the healthcare system. And honestly, the system has given us plenty of reasons to feel that way. But now it's time for us to take control of the conversation, to take control of our sexual health. Learn the facts, ask questions and advocate for ourselves. That's how we start changing the story.

[Mandy B]

So let's talk.

[Weezy]

We like to think HIV is something that affects other people, but it is hitting our own community hard. Black women make up about 13% of women in the US but account for nearly half of all new HIV diagnoses around women. And being proactive doesn't mean you just don't trust your partner partner. It just means you trust yourself enough to stay in control. So know your options, ask questions, and protect your peace and your body. That's real power. Because protecting yourself isn't embarrassing, it's responsible. Sex is normal. Protecting yourself should be normal too. Actually, it's kind of badass. Taking control of your sexual health is grown woman energy. Sponsored by Care for the Culture from Gilead Sciences.

Think about it. When it comes to your own food, you can walk into a restaurant, see what's being made, and know exactly what you're getting. But with dog food, most brands keep that completely hidden. Just Food for Dogs does the opposite. They've built their entire brand around open kitchens. You can actually walk in and watch them prepare your dog's meals with real human grade ingredients like chicken, beef, carrots and peas, cheese cooked right there in front of you. No mystery, no behind the scenes, you're not allowed to see. That kind of transparency is rare in the pet food world. And it's a big reason they've become the number one vet recommended fresh dog food, earning trust from pet parents who want to feel confident in what they're feeding. When a brand is willing to show you exactly how your dog's food is made, it says a lot about the care, quality and standards behind every meal they produce. Use nothing to hide everything to love.

[Jason Charlie]

Yo, look at the.

[Mandy B]

I'm sorry. I have to say, Caresha's new record is the song of the summer. I'm saying it right now. It is amazing. Over Any of Drake Ass niggas bring that money.

[Jason Charlie]

No, I think it might be, though. Honestly, like, it might legitimately be. Maybe. Maybe you're our guy. Maybe.

[Mandy B]

No, no, no. I just want to tell you, I went out out this past weekend.

[Yomi]

Okay, That's. That's. That's slappy, babe. That slap the.

[Mandy B]

Any one.

[Jason Charlie]

That's what it is.

[Yomi]

That's what it is. They got shot now.

[Jason Charlie]

Definitely now.

[Mandy B]

By the way, they have five different versions of this.

[Yomi]

That's crazy.

[Jason Charlie]

Wait, do they.

[Mandy B]

They do.

[Yomi]

That's a maxi signal they have.

[Mandy B]

So spin. Spin that check.

[Yomi]

You're right.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mandy B]

Then they have the. Hold on. And I'm just going. Hey, Sid.

[Jason Charlie]

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

[Mandy B]

They have a booster version.

[Yomi]

Ah, that's smooth.

[Mandy B]

Ah, that one's a little smooth. Then they got the scammer version. Hold on.

[Jason Charlie]

Oh, the Hellcat version.

[Mandy B]

Hello.

[Jason Charlie]

The Hellcat trackpaw.

[Mandy B]

And then they got the baller version. That one's just the one that's looks smooth, baby.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

Before, it was like, giving, like.

[Yomi]

That's a Larry June feature.

[Mandy B]

So she's literally making it to where a DJ in any part of the.

[Jason Charlie]

They need a Miami bass version, though. I thought.

[Mandy B]

No, but so they do. So there's. There's the fast, but one of these are sped up to where it goes.

[Jason Charlie]

It goes. Okay.

[Mandy B]

And then the regular version is like, just a regular. But basically, while we hear what D1 had to say about this record, it

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

could go up and strip off.

[Mandy B]

No, no, it goes.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, Big time, bitch.

[Mandy B]

It was going up ahead in Whiskey.

[Jason Charlie]

Oh, was it?

[Mandy B]

Oh, my God. Under the Whiskey tick. Okay, if y' all don't know Whiskey

[Yomi]

on a Sunday, don't tell them.

[Mandy B]

We pretty much.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Yomi]

Now that's another place we can't go.

[Mandy B]

Go now.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

If you want to run into Mandy, go down.

[Yomi]

We can't go, though.

[Mandy B]

If you want to run into Atlanta, you can. On a Sunday. I will be at Whiskey or McK. And also shout out to Mey, who's now a part owner at Candyland. I will be up in there, too.

[Jason Charlie]

I still haven't been to Candyland I

[Mandy B]

know we got to go.

[Jason Charlie]

Oh, I'm going right up.

[Mandy B]

Me coming after you, and I'm coming soon.

[Jason Charlie]

I'm going right up in there.

[Mandy B]

No, your picture about to be at the door. Do not let this nigga in.

[Jason Charlie]

We might go to Candyland.

[Mandy B]

This mind you. And you know he's 21's man. You know, 21. That nigga, like, get this nigga out of here.

[Yomi]

I want to look at his face.

[Jason Charlie]

I want to look that man right in his face. Let's have the conversation.

[Mandy B]

You talking about. You know what? Let me ask you, because someone did leave it in the comments just before we get to Drake, too. Someone did say, if Drake hit you up and said, I want to come on the pot. Are you letting him sit on the pod?

[Jason Charlie]

Oh, yeah. No.

[Mandy B]

Come on, let's go. Okay. And that's what they said you would say. All right.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, let's talk.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

Drake has barred for da next album.

[Mandy B]

Listen.

[Jason Charlie]

Hope so.

[Yomi]

Listen, yo, I ain't gonna lie.

[Jason Charlie]

I hope so.

[Yomi]

I ain't gonna lie. You know, I was like, damn, this nigga is one of them niggas that'll fucking take a screenshot. And he put on his stories with no content.

[Jason Charlie]

With no content. It'll be my face.

[Yomi]

I do the same shit back. I'm like, all right, I'll just find some shit. Like, all right, nigga.

[Mandy B]

Oh, nah, I ain't gonna hold you. Y' all know I don't like Nikki. I don't want to sit with the bitch. She crazy.

[Jason Charlie]

I don't want to sit with Nikki's crazy. Drake isn't crazy. Drake will come on here and try to defend himself.

[Mandy B]

No, no, no, no. But the way you talk about Drake is Carrie. I talk about Nick. I don't care if that bitch wanna sit next to me and talk. I'm not gonna talk. That's fair. You a little loony, you a little cuckoo, and I ain't got nothing for you. Okay, that's fair. Now, before we get into D1 on this song of the Summer, guys, the lyrics that he is talking about, it says, where all my scamming ass niggas at? Spending that money fast. 20s, 50s, hundreds, cash. Boy go in that go yard bag boosting bitches. Where y' all at? Stuffing that shit in y' all back just to flip it. Pop some tags. Girl go in that go yard bag. Hello.

[Yomi]

I would offer the reason why she

[Jason Charlie]

hates everything about that.

[Yomi]

She's just highlighting how to get out of this economy situation we're in.

[Mandy B]

Okay.

[Jason Charlie]

Financial Advice.

[Yomi]

Yeah. She's like, you know what?

[Mandy B]

Let's hear what D1 had to say about the record.

[Jason Charlie]

Catch it. That's glorifying scamming, shoplifting, and street life. And people who know better in the culture are too afraid to say something something because they don't want to seem like a hater. Then when white people start jamming to her, we not even offended no more. Watch this. We like, oh, she lit. Invite her to the barbecue. But she not worried about if her grandkids gonna become scammers or shop caught up in the streets. That's something we got to worry about with our kids because, of course, we make it cool first. Young Miami, I love you, baby, but this making the devil happy. And I know you love God.

[Yomi]

That wasn't bad.

[Mandy B]

I didn't.

[Yomi]

I'm not mad at that.

[Jason Charlie]

I'm not mad at.

[Mandy B]

Okay. I'm not mad at the message I need first off. And I got in the comments and.

[Jason Charlie]

Hold on.

[Mandy B]

Go up to the top. Cause he responded, too. I said, oh, my God, Dee. Yo, let us have something. The world is ending. He said, let us have scamming and shouting and sliding cops.

[Jason Charlie]

Okay, yeah, you're right. Maybe I'm tripping. Come on, baby. I know.

[Yomi]

I felt. Shout out to D1.

[Jason Charlie]

That sound like TID1.

[Mandy B]

I need you to read D1's response. One more gig.

[Yomi]

No, I can't do it.

[Mandy B]

I can't do it again. Do it again, do it again.

[Yomi]

I can't do it twice.

[Mandy B]

Do it again, do it again.

[Yomi]

Yo, holla, rejoice.

[Mandy B]

Okay. Oh, my God. D. Yo, let us have something. The world is ending, man.

[Yomi]

Mandy, let's have scamming and shoplifting and

[Jason Charlie]

sliding on our opps. Okay, yeah, you're right. Maybe I'm tripping.

[Yomi]

Sarcastic, sarcastic, sarcastic.

[Mandy B]

D1, we love you, man.

[Jason Charlie]

But here's what I say about that specific response. Right?

[Mandy B]

Talk to me.

[Jason Charlie]

Okay. Yes. Sliding on the opps. The murder thing is that you probably shouldn't murder people. That's not.

[Mandy B]

But none of this in here talked about murderers or killers, right? Hey, hey. Scammer than shoplifters.

[Jason Charlie]

So here's what I'll say as far as scamming and shoplifting goes. Like, chances are if you scamming, you're scamming the Empire.

[Mandy B]

No, no, no, no. Not Cheyenne Brown.

[Jason Charlie]

Well, I mean, she's scamming my people. She's scamming people. But if you're scamming, like, PPP loans. If you're scamming, like, you're Finding a way to juke some of these corporations to get some money out of them. I don't care if you're shoplifting from Target or Walmart or one of these other empire. I don't give a fuck. Take all of they shit. Why would I care if you're stealing from. Don't get arrested. But why would I care if you're stealing from the Empire? Steal everything from the Empire that you can, right?

[Yomi]

But when you're caught, that's when.

[Jason Charlie]

Well, you gotta pay the price. That's what it is. Right?

[Yomi]

But you don't want to pay the price in this administration.

[Mandy B]

What are the consequences when you do anything? Right? Do you want to go back? Yomi saw a comment from a Latina woman.

[Yomi]

She going down a rabbit hole. You forgot you wasn't on your phone. Yomi, you ain't low. We like, look, we right here. But you're not supposed to do that over there.

[Mandy B]

We can see you.

[Jason Charlie]

Yo.

[Yomi]

She's like, who that?

[Jason Charlie]

Who that over there?

[Mandy B]

Yo, yo, yo.

[Jason Charlie]

She and bigging that joint too. She was like, yeah. No, hold on. Let me see.

[Mandy B]

Never mind. I agree with.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

Nah, fuck y'.

[Bethenny Frankel]

All.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

I was just making it big for y'.

[Yomi]

All.

[Jason Charlie]

Uh huh. Thank you.

[Mandy B]

But someone in the comments actually said

[Yomi]

mad loud, real loud. Coming from a Latina woman who worked in the club for 20 years until Jesus called. Jesus called me by my name out in the nightlife music industry. But what is she? We don't know what she is.

[Mandy B]

She's like, she definitely Puerto Rican.

[Yomi]

It's much deeper than most people really realize.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

Why you sound Indian now.

[Yomi]

Duolingo. Duolingo. Now. She said it's 100% spiritual. It kept me in cycles and mindsets that were ungodly.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

This is what she'd say, coming from a Latina woman who worked in the club.

[Mandy B]

In the club, in the club, the

[Jason Charlie]

nightlife in the club.

[Yomi]

She said it was ungodly. And I was reaping the poisonous fruit from those seeds. I was meditating, you know what I mean? I guess there's layers to this shit, right?

[Jason Charlie]

Right?

[Yomi]

Young Miami. She's speaking from the culture that she come from.

[Mandy B]

The Miami.

[Yomi]

The Miami culture. The lifestyle culture. This is for the lifestyle people. Now I get it. Kids are impressionable as fuck. Especially these kids. Social media makes the world way smaller.

[Jason Charlie]

That was solid. That was the one I saw, literally

[Mandy B]

why JT was in jail.

[Jason Charlie]

When I saw that one, I was

[Mandy B]

like, she did do time for it.

[Yomi]

So Jenny gonna come out with a record with D1 then no, never.

[Mandy B]

Here's the thing, right?

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

D1 won no parts.

[Yomi]

Here's the thing, he wasn't.

[Mandy B]

The way that D1 is sitting here saying, this is no different than, first off, the blame on hip hop for all of the demise of our culture, which is. I don't think you could sit here and just put that one thing to blame.

[Jason Charlie]

Maybe.

[Mandy B]

But also, we also, in terms of killing and all the things that are violent, we've seen them put blame on video games when at the end of the day, as parents, as a community, as teachers, as peers, we should just be educating our community on what's right and what's wrong. To me, when it comes to entertainment, when it comes to movies, the movie you were just referencing earlier, when we watch, like, these action movies with all these guns and all these, like, let's be clear, entertainment is just that a lot of times. And there has to be a level of discernment on what influences you to be this way or not.

[Jason Charlie]

Correct.

[Mandy B]

And to me, to sit here and be like, caresha, baby, the devil is doing all this, and you can't be putting this into our community. It's poisoning our minds. It's just like, what are we like, let's be responsible here and realize that there's ways that you go to school, you go to church, you educate yourself, you have conversations. We not sitting here blaming Caresha for making niggas scammers and shoplifters. And by the way, by the way, it's really hard. It's really hard. I tried to scam one time. I really tried to scam. Y' all know, back in the day, the iPhone thing, I tried to scam one time. It's not easy. Like, your heart beats fast and you do get caught.

[Jason Charlie]

You're just like, oh, shit, the feds is coming to my door.

[Mandy B]

Listen, I told y', all, I tried to sell Molly one time. I tried to do the iPhone scam. Scamming is very hard.

[Jason Charlie]

It is difficult.

[Mandy B]

Shoplifting is also very hard.

[Jason Charlie]

Stressful.

[Mandy B]

It's stressful.

[Jason Charlie]

Raise your blood pressure.

[Mandy B]

So at the end of the day, we do also that everything done in the dark will come to the light. So if people are out there talking about that, it is what it is. This is also just entertainment. And, baby, sonically, this is beautiful. This is what we needed for the summertime. We ain't at, like, last year.

[Yomi]

They better go vote, baby.

[Mandy B]

Last year, last year, the song of the summer was folded. Let us now, you know, come back with, I got that money. I love it.

[Jason Charlie]

You Said Kehlani was keeping a little too domestic, a little too much fun.

[Mandy B]

Too much like, just want them to spend that spin that we just talked.

[Yomi]

We just did a whole segment about not being able to spend anything. There's nothing to, what are we spending with we bartering milk for?

[Jason Charlie]

Well, that's why she asked for the scammers and the shoplifters.

[Mandy B]

But that's why the scammers and shoplifters do. Because the Nine to Fivers ain't got nothing to spend.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah. She didn't say where my baristas and my fry at. She didn't say where my Burger Kings and Wendy's at.

[Yomi]

She said those people would start, they get ideas.

[Mandy B]

They like, where my Target workers.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, yeah. That wasn't the thing. But as far as D1 goes, like, I respect the fact that D1 wants to be a positive influence and wants to kind of push people the other way. But I agree with you. I always been on the time where it's like, okay, yeah, you can point to all these things to say that, like, this is influencing the culture. Right. Cause you're right. Kids are impressionable. We've all been a young age, have been influenced by something that we've seen. But, like, most grown adults aren't making these decisions because of songs. They're making these decisions because they wanna do crime. Because they wanna get over the easy way or whatever the thing is. But the music is just gonna be the music. The movies are just gonna be the movies. It kind of just is what it is. So what is the like, Everything has to be Christlike. Everything is positive. Everything. There's no nothing. We remove ourselves and that will be.

[Mandy B]

And we see what's happening in the church.

[Yomi]

Malcolm X, before he was Malcolm, he was Lil Redd, right?

[Jason Charlie]

Detroit Red.

[Yomi]

Detroit Red. And he was scamming and doing all.

[Mandy B]

And I heard he was. I ain't gonna do it. I did hear he was selling that dick too.

[Yomi]

Whatever. Meaning he had a past life. He couldn't do those things as Malcolm X. Cause he saw a better version of him.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Yomi]

And that version of him is what he tried to enlighten the people. Right. I don't see a marriage between that type of messaging and that lifestyle and then also wanting to do better, you know, as a community. Like, we gotta pick a side too, at some point as far as what direction we gonna go.

[Mandy B]

But even in the direction of which way we wanna go. Can we also just enjoy some music? Can we have something like. Can we, like.

[Yomi]

Mind you, you don't listen to jazz.

[Mandy B]

I'm not. You know, we wouldn't have saw Robert Glasper. I love that music. But also, also when I go to McK and I want lemon pepper wings,

[Yomi]

maybe don't go to McKinley. Go to a cigar lounge where you could just hear some blues and R and B and, you know.

[Jason Charlie]

No. Sometimes I want to shoot a nigga in the face when I'm in traffic.

[Mandy B]

Hello.

[Jason Charlie]

Sometimes I want to up the yappa and do 85 miles an hour down the highway.

[Mandy B]

That's why we need to.

[Jason Charlie]

And feel good about myself. And I never killed nobody.

[Yomi]

Cult classic.

[Mandy B]

Ain't never cult classic. Nook if you buck. Come on.

[Jason Charlie]

I can't punch a nigga in the face no more because God is going to smite me.

[Yomi]

I'm just trying to be objective.

[Jason Charlie]

Objective. So is he, so God bless him.

[Mandy B]

But to me, that's too leaning to the other. God bless him. It's too leaning. It's too leaning. All right.

[Jason Charlie]

And if she goes to hell, that's her business.

[Mandy B]

Okay.

[Yomi]

You gonna go with her?

[Jason Charlie]

I'll probably be there.

[Mandy B]

I don't know. Nah, I'm not gonna lie.

[Jason Charlie]

I can't answer for that, man. That's his call.

[Mandy B]

I realized with the heat, I can't even dress for. I hate hot.

[Jason Charlie]

I'm with you there, too.

[Mandy B]

Like, I be trying to go out and I'm. I'm like, all the things I want to wear is leather. Bitch can't wear that in 90 degree weather. I realized how much, like, I used to say, oh, I'll go to hell because I like the beach. But being in hot weather every day is by far, like, bar none.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, it's miserable.

[Mandy B]

It's gross.

[Jason Charlie]

The only thing I want, the only place I want to be hot at is at the beach.

[Mandy B]

Like, I now see why Southern niggas can't dress. Because you don't care to put shit on when it's hot. It's hot as y' all about 10 months out the year. I need my seasons, babe. I need my fly shit. I am miserable trying to find clothes to wear. And then that's the other thing. As a woman, you know what you have to wear shit that makes you look like a hoe. And then you get called a hoe because you ain't got clothes on. But it's because I'm hot.

[Jason Charlie]

The weather made me a hoe.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

A hoe or a stud.

[Mandy B]

A hoe or a stud. It's one of those.

[Jason Charlie]

That's a crazy.

[Mandy B]

I'm literally. I'M literally be. And I'm a ball headed hoe, right? And I am literally being forced to look like I only eat coochie. Like literally. Phaedra was at dinner and was like, you lesbian. Right? Like bitch, I got a dress on today. But it's cause she literally. He has.

[Yomi]

Well, you have. I mean.

[Mandy B]

Shut up.

[Yomi]

You just showed identifiers.

[Mandy B]

Shut up.

[Yomi]

All I know is if she waved

[Mandy B]

high, it is very difficult to be a well dressed fly bitch in this hot ass weather.

[Jason Charlie]

It's hot as fuck outside.

[Mandy B]

It's very.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

It can be done though.

[Jason Charlie]

Oh, it can be done.

[Yomi]

Look up.

[Mandy B]

I'm miserable.

[Yomi]

What are we looking for patterns in Google and see what comes up Non hoe ish.

[Mandy B]

Like.

[Yomi]

Cause you said hoes. You said.

[Mandy B]

That is not coming up.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

You gotta go on Pinterest.

[Yomi]

Oh, Pinterest.

[Mandy B]

Maybe Pinterest'll help.

[Yomi]

Okay.

[Jason Charlie]

In a self serving kind of way. Like it's hot outside.

[Yomi]

Like I wanna like she gonna look like a southern. But I don't want to go to church every Sunday.

[Mandy B]

I can't even put my layers on. No. I can't even cover up these titties. Gotta brush. Breathe. Cause they sweating. Do you know how uncomfortable it is for the tit of sweat?

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, I don't want to like.

[Mandy B]

And then I'm sitting down, I get up, my whole belly wet. This is embarrassing.

[Jason Charlie]

Bitch.

[Yomi]

You drink something?

[Mandy B]

No, bitch, it's my titties. They sweating. My titties are sweating.

[Weezy]

This is weezy. Wtf? From Decisions, decisions. You know, a lot of us grew up not fully trusting the healthcare system. And honestly, the system has given us plenty of reasons to feel that way. But now it's time for us to take control of the conversation, to take control of our sexual health, learn the facts, ask questions, and advocate for ourselves. That's how we start changing the story.

[Mandy B]

So let's talk.

[Weezy]

We like to think HIV is something that affects other people, but it is hitting our own community hard. Black women make up about 13% of women in the US but account for nearly half of all new HIV diagnoses around women. And being proactive doesn't mean you just don't trust your partner. It just means you trust yourself enough to stay in control. So know your options, ask questions and protect your peace and your body. That's real power. Because protecting yourself isn't embarrassing, it's responsible. Sex is normal. Protecting yourself should be normal too. Actually, it's kind of badass. Taking control of your sexual health is grown woman energy sponsored by Care for the culture from Gilead Sciences.

Think about it. When it comes to your own food, you can walk into a restaurant, see what's being made and know exactly what you're getting. But with dog food, most brands keep that completely hidden. Just Food for Dogs does the opposite. They've built their entire brand around open kitchens. You can actually walk in and watch them prepare your dog's meals with real human grade ingredients like chicken, beef, carrots and peas. Cheese cooked right there in front of you. No mystery, no behind the scenes, you're not allowed to see. That kind of transparency is rare in the pet food world, and it's a big reason they've become the number one vet Recommended fresh dog food, earning trust from pet parents who want to feel confident in what they're feeding. When a brand is willing to show you exactly how your dog's food is made, it says a lot about the care, quality and standards behind every meal they produce. Produce nothing to hide.

[Mandy B]

Anyways, last topic.

[Yomi]

D1 last one.

[Mandy B]

Shout out to D1. We gotta have him on the show. Last conversation.

[Yomi]

Oh man, let's get to this.

[Mandy B]

Rick Ross.

[Yomi]

Are we listening to the whole thing or this is just part of it?

[Mandy B]

This is just part of it.

[Yomi]

Cause this nigga is hilarious.

[Mandy B]

Rick Ross says that Drake is not on his level and claims that his recent albums were horrendous and his homies are recovering from trauma after listening to them.

[Yomi]

And he was on the. I think this is a word, a right wing platform too.

[Mandy B]

It's PBD podcast.

[Yomi]

What is that? It's a right wing platform.

[Mandy B]

All right, let's get into. Let's hear what Rick Ross had to say.

[Public Advertiser]

Break at your level.

[Jason Charlie]

No,

[Public Advertiser]

you're not putting Drake at your level.

[Jason Charlie]

No, see, you might be. I could see it in your eyes. You might be confused with the numbers and all of the fake numbers flood the marketplace. 50 something. That shit ain't nothing. Remember what I told you? The streets are the streets. If Drake was what he thought you you. What you think he was or what he thought he was, he would have been able to clear all this up, address it and been moved on. He's still suing the label. That's like him. He might sue you for speaking of him on this situation.

[Public Advertiser]

Did you listen to Iceman, the new.

[Jason Charlie]

I listened to some of it. My engineer was. It was horrendous,

[Mandy B]

man.

[Jason Charlie]

They lost hour they life for this.

[Mandy B]

Listen to it.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Public Advertiser]

Are they recovering?

[Mandy B]

Yeah.

[Jason Charlie]

Trauma Tr. When you. When you've been waiting after you seen people put ice blocks in the middle of places and promoted and marketed and the world knew what day it was coming out and the came out and. And really, you know, folded.

[Public Advertiser]

But have you personally listened to every single one of the tracks in the new album?

[Jason Charlie]

No, I couldn't do it. I mean, Pitchfork gave it. I said it was Mid. Mid meant five. Pitchfork gave it a four point something. I don't know. But it was like, no one's my friend. You left me alone.

[Mandy B]

What is wrong with this? Stop that.

[Jason Charlie]

Yo, this is.

[Yomi]

Yo, bro, you know. You know we've seen Ross and 50 go at it.

[Jason Charlie]

Sure.

[Yomi]

We seen Ross and this n go at it. Ross and everybody. And I don't think I've ever heard this. He's hilarious.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

Bronom hate, bro.

[Yomi]

But it wasn't even like. It was like.

[Mandy B]

So he was fluid with it.

[Jason Charlie]

What the fuck did Drake do?

[Yomi]

This is why I say, yo he be doing wild mixy shit. Cause why they be doing this?

[Mandy B]

But you know what's also crazy and what hurts my heart? They have some of the best music.

[Jason Charlie]

Oh, they have. They made amazing songs. Oh.

[Mandy B]

When I knew that Drake was coming out with a collab album before we knew it was her loss with 21, I wanted it so bad.

[Yomi]

You wanted it.

[Mandy B]

These two, like, if we go back to where people are like, yeah, I haven't liked Drake music in a long time, baby. Everyone who liked Drake music a long time ago, this nigga has songs with him. Like, it's so freaking good.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah. He's by far.

[Mandy B]

Do we know where they Drake. So the me beef.

[Jason Charlie]

Oh, because that was. But that was after what happened.

[Yomi]

Because before the beef, they was already having issues.

[Jason Charlie]

There was something going.

[Yomi]

It just wasn't put out to light yet.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

The meek. Whole Meek.

[Mandy B]

Oh, Meek Mill, Montana. There was some.

[Jason Charlie]

But Drake and Meek like kissed and made up like they were all good. So I felt like, I mean, maybe.

[Yomi]

But Ross, they did records after that.

[Mandy B]

Aston Martin. I'm on one. Stay scheming. Go Rosie. Lord knows. Money in the grave.

[Jason Charlie]

Money in the grave is my. Yeah, he's by far.

[Mandy B]

If you right now in your phone, you could probably make a playlist.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

If you go Ross's like greatest hits. Y' all would say one of.

[Mandy B]

With Drake.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

With Drake.

[Mandy B]

With Drake.

[Yomi]

No, I like.

[Mandy B]

I mean, he has a lot of good music.

[Yomi]

Ab Stormer.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

Yeah.

[Yomi]

The Avery TV record. Fucking every day I'm hustling obviously is in there.

[Mandy B]

Nigga. No new friends. Like, what are we talking?

[Jason Charlie]

What's the shit with John Legend?

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

He was on new.

[Mandy B]

New yes.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, that's his hook.

[Yomi]

That's your tagline.

[Jason Charlie]

After last week, no new friends.

[Mandy B]

You know what's crazy? I'm actually looking for all new friends. Cause I'm cutting n off all new friends. I need a goddamn song for that.

[Jason Charlie]

But yeah, like, But Ross is his best collaborator by Far behind by far. I don't think there's anybody other artists that rapping, whatever. And there's more that have as good songs as they do together. Like Ross songs are better. Ross and Drake songs are better than all of Drake. Jay Z's songs, I'm not gonna lie.

[Yomi]

But a different, different vibe. I think. I think the aim was different when Drake did records with Jay. They was trying to.

[Mandy B]

I'm not gonna lie. Every record that I just read, Drake and Ross together is better than the entire Her Lost album.

[Jason Charlie]

I would agree.

[Mandy B]

Like if you put Drake alongside all of his features, I agree along all of the rappers that he's even aligned himself with. Cause even Cole, we only got what, one or two records.

[Jason Charlie]

I think we got two, three, maybe two.

[Mandy B]

Two or three. If we look at all the songs that Drake has been on with other rappers, bar none, it's Ross. Ross has the best features.

[Jason Charlie]

Nothing even to talk about.

[Mandy B]

They put the best music together. So this is probably. If we talk about historical beef, this is one of the ones I'm most sad about.

[Yomi]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

And this shit is because we're not gonna get new music. That relationship is over that Drake and future Squash and beef like shout out to bank for that. I don't know who can get in

[Yomi]

between because according to when he was on Apple Music and he acknowledged that French still has a relationship with him and he was like, yeah, he could do. I'm good. You know what I mean?

[Jason Charlie]

So whatever it is, it's unfixable.

[Yomi]

And then he also alludes to him having to say something publicly.

[Mandy B]

I don't know all of these jokes. So Ross gets.

[Yomi]

I'm pretty sure Aubrey will address it somehow some way later down the line.

[Mandy B]

Wait a second. Was Ross not dissed on the latest.

[Yomi]

Oh, maybe we didn't catch it yet. We probably did.

[Mandy B]

We not catch it.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

But it seems like it's one sided currently because Drake hasn't really addressed him at all.

[Mandy B]

I haven't seen Drake address.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

But he keeps going hard.

[Mandy B]

Like the whole. It's a press one right.

[Yomi]

But I think.

[Mandy B]

But I think maybe, maybe Drake is paying him.

[Yomi]

No. But to go in with him.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

No fucking way.

[Jason Charlie]

But there was.

[Yomi]

I did see a clip where Ross. Somebody asked Ross about it and he was like, he know what he did. He gotta be the one when he handles what he needs to handle. Then we could sit down and unfortunately, whatever that is.

[Mandy B]

But that's what I said in the last episode. Like where it's like I'm a victim and everyone turned on Me, I would like to know more of what the fuck Drake did to these n. Because it has to be what you think it is. Well, to me, even seeing, like, clearly, business be a little sheisty, right? We heard Metro come out and was like, the reason why I don't fuck with that nigga is cause my mama passed and that nigga harassing me for beats harassing me about music. He doesn't know how to deal from a personal. We saw Wayne, like, yeah, Wayne was maybe able to forgive him because he done made so much money for Wayne. But, bro, I'm locked up and you went and fucked on my jaw. Like, to me, he hurts people from a personal level, which is why it's crazy that he's crying so much over what LeBron did from a personal level. Because. Wait, did y' all see what people broke down? So, allegedly, one of the songs. There's a girl in the video, and he smiled.

[Yomi]

He looked in the face.

[Mandy B]

And when he starts talking about LeBron, the girl leaves the room. But then in the video, he looks

[Yomi]

back and sponsoring, and she's on the screen, too.

[Mandy B]

When he looks back, people are insinuating that that's one of the bodies that maybe LeBron got.

[Yomi]

And it's like, that's dry snitching, too.

[Mandy B]

It's dry snitching?

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah.

[Mandy B]

Oh, I'm not gonna. If you sit here and you start parading on a diss record and start

[Yomi]

can't dance now, you're gonna out him like that. You're gonna take his tattoo and put another. Man.

[Mandy B]

I love the Internet. From the LA show to when that nigga was on an island to on a boat to before the game.

[Yomi]

You know, Kendrick and LeBron had a relationship before the beef there.

[Mandy B]

It doesn't matter. There is now a. Like, who that? Like, no, I don't know who that is. Yomi, Stop looking at bitches like, yomi, we are working her name. Yeah, her name is, like, CRO Max.

[Jason Charlie]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's from Toronto.

[Yomi]

That ain't her.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

She's a. No, she's a Toronto girl.

[Mandy B]

But she's a baddie.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, she's a baddie.

[Mandy B]

She's a baddie.

[Jason Charlie]

She's a Toronto baddie.

[Mandy B]

She's a baddie.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

And she's from Ecuador.

[Mandy B]

Is she a baddie? She a baddie.

[Jason Charlie]

So here's the thing with the Drake and, like, who did what to who. I think the most interesting and telling part of the whole shit is the. That people who have a problem with Drake pretty much say what? Ross says that n know why. That nigga know why. That n know why. And people aren't necessarily coming out and saying what it is they're on. Some, like, he knows why I don't fuck with him. And Drake's response to all them people isn't like, oh, I didn't do nothing to you. I didn't do that, or whatever the case is. His response is, I know secrets about you that I'll tell niggas. Shut up. So to me, I'm like, that's not a defense of, like, I violated you. That's saying, like. Like, okay, I violated you. And what, nigga?

[Mandy B]

And what?

[Jason Charlie]

If you keep fucking with me, nigga, I'mma tell them how you. So it's just like, damn, bro. Like, what did these. What did you do to these niggas? Because they don't fuck with you at all.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

Okay, John knows Ball. He's following her.

[Mandy B]

Oh, John.

[Jason Charlie]

Cause she's old school baddie. Not old school, but, like, she's been doing this Internet baddie thing, like, from the beginning of Instagram.

[Mandy B]

Oh, I'm denying.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

You know Ball.

[Yomi]

Is she a service provider? No, I don't mean like that.

[Jason Charlie]

I don't mean.

[Yomi]

Not that you would know.

[Jason Charlie]

I'm saying. No, but I'm saying.

[Yomi]

I'm talking about her contributions to the culture.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

No, but I'm saying, like, she makes music.

[Yomi]

She's a. And I. Oh, she does. Okay, dope. Is it good?

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

She makes music.

[Yomi]

Is it good?

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, she does make music.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

I don't really listen, but no one has.

[Jason Charlie]

But she does provide services.

[Yomi]

You gotta represent Ecuador. You know what I mean?

[Jason Charlie]

She does provide services, though.

[Yomi]

I just wanna know.

[Jason Charlie]

WiFi services. I don't know if she provides, like, in person services.

[Mandy B]

She fine. She can provide me some. See, this is why.

[Yomi]

That's what you could wear in a tsunami.

[Jason Charlie]

That's the summertime. What is this hat? What is that? Mushroom hat?

[Yomi]

Oh. Oh, wait.

[Jason Charlie]

Whoa.

[Mandy B]

Oh, yeah. Nah, she bad. Sorry, y'.

[Jason Charlie]

All.

[Mandy B]

Okay. Yo, we are potting right now.

[Jason Charlie]

We are potty.

[Mandy B]

Get off of this woman's face.

[Yomi]

It's not that. It's just the workouts. That's why we just looking at the workouts. Calisthenics, y'.

[Mandy B]

All. Looking at the calorie burning, the fits. Y' all could wear that during the summer. Get the fuck out. Get off of that girl's face. But, yeah, I mean, to me, I will say from a troll perspective, I think it's funny. Him and 50, you know, and they got the money to back it up. They have businesses on businesses. They go beyond rap. They have investments that have garnered them tons and tons of money. And he is a fun. He's a cool guy. Like, I've been around Ross.

[Jason Charlie]

Ross thinks that's all I've ever heard.

[Mandy B]

This is crazy hearing him talk. He thinks I'm nuts.

[Yomi]

No, he's gonna say, you're traumatized.

[Mandy B]

I'm not traumatized.

[Yomi]

You need to unpack your traumas.

[Mandy B]

I like both of their music. I really like both of them. Like I said, I've been around both of them. Drake, not so much. I be scared cause I done said some shit. But Ross, I've seen plenty of times. He's a nice guy. He cool. This is funny. I like it. I like it.

[Jason Charlie]

It's entertaining.

[Mandy B]

I like that he's keeping this energy. I would like to see though this beef mend. I think that there's hope.

[Jason Charlie]

I'm gonna say there's hope for our benefit of the music. I'm using you there. I don't really care about him fixing it with anybody else, but for Ross and him to get back and make

[Mandy B]

me to like, I'm mad. He fixed it with future. Like, cool. We got March Madness. I'm cool with not having died.

[Yomi]

They're gonna do more. I think he was on his way to Toronto.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

He didn't like another time.

[Mandy B]

What a time to be alive. It was cool. I would say even hold on. Hot take the 10 records. I just said between Drake and Ross was better than what a Time to be Alive. If you put that, like.

[Jason Charlie]

But what a time to be Alive was my shit.

[Yomi]

But also when you have lightning in the bottle like that and then there's discourse and then y' all come back, it's not gonna be the same.

[Jason Charlie]

It's not gonna be the same.

[Yomi]

So that's why you don't do it. You don't do another album. Maybe one or two shows here or there.

[Mandy B]

I mean, we got the feature.

[Yomi]

We got the one feature.

[Jason Charlie]

But I don't even like that song. I'm not gonna hold it. I like the beat. The beat is crazy. But I don't really like. I'm not that familiar with Molly Santana, but, like, I just don't.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

New Hannah Montana.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not. I don't really like. I don't like what no one really did on that record. But that beat is crazy.

[Yomi]

But it's the intent of the. The record.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah. Let me get back the.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

Kendrick.

[Mandy B]

The production is insane.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah. But it's a. It's a Kendrick troll and a reuniting with Future at the same time.

[Yomi]

Yes.

[Jason Charlie]

So it's like, okay, we get it. Like, that's cool. Like, have your little moment.

[Yomi]

I would have put it on.

[Mandy B]

Do you think Kendrick and Future now probably not cool.

[Jason Charlie]

No, I don't think Kendrick cares about that shit.

[Yomi]

I don't think Kendrick is on it like that.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, I don't think he's on it.

[Yomi]

I think he said what he said. I think that's another thing too. Even with gnx, when you listen to certain songs, I think Kendrick is standing on everything he said.

[Weezy]

Yeah.

[Jason Charlie]

Plus, I don't think that Kendrick did like that thinking, oh, Drake. I mean, Future doesn't fuck with Drake no more.

[Yomi]

Right.

[Jason Charlie]

I just think Kendrick got on the record on somebody. Oh, y' all want me on that?

[Yomi]

It seemed like they.

[Jason Charlie]

They.

[Yomi]

Whatever they had going on, it was like, oh, we gonna double down.

[Mandy B]

It's just big me.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

Yeah, but people are talking on the Internet that, like, Future is on all of their albums.

[Yomi]

That's true too. You got number ones?

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

No, no, no. Like in the fall off.

[Yomi]

Yeah.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

Three records on gnx. Right. And then Drake.

[Jason Charlie]

No, not on gnx.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

Is he on gx?

[Yomi]

No, that was on Metro.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

But anyway, they're just. They're just kind of saying, like, Future doesn't really stand for anything.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah. I don't think he's a fl.

[Mandy B]

He doesn't even stand for fatherhood. Like, I mean, why are we talking? Like, we're surprised, you know? You know.

[Yomi]

You know what I love about you? The way Mandy be lining this up. You would thought she had three kids. And she's speaking from a perspective.

[Jason Charlie]

Right, right, right.

[Yomi]

And I love that for you, cuz you are absolutely advocating for the. Against the fuck shit.

[Jason Charlie]

But it's like how.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

You know the smoke she has with Anthony Edwards?

[Yomi]

Smoke?

[Jason Charlie]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've heard her. Shouldn't come to Atlanta.

[Mandy B]

He's gonna make more broken homes.

[Yomi]

Could you imagine if she was a fucking child support judge?

[Jason Charlie]

Oh, man.

[Yomi]

Oh, wow. In another life, it's over with.

[Mandy B]

You know what's crazy though? I do stand for men that want to be good fathers being able to get the time to see their kids. Like, I've seen women be like, this is my baby. Like, there's this couple that I follow on Instagram and they be going back and forth like crazy about, like, co parenting. And you could tell he want to be a good daddy, but you could tell she wants a family.

[Jason Charlie]

They argue on Instagram against one another.

[Mandy B]

It's like Nardo something. They argue on the Internet and the baby be right in front. Like, it's so sad. But literally, you could tell she had the baby and thought it was gonna keep them together. And so she don't want a co parent, she want a family. And he's like, nah, but let me see my son. And it's just a lot. So to me, like, when you have men that are actively wanting to be in their children's lives and as a woman, because you couldn't be with the man in a relationship.

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, don't deny that man. Don't deny that man being with and beyond the man. Honestly, don't deny the child their father.

[Mandy B]

And that's where I do. Like, Russell Wilson stepped up and, you

[Jason Charlie]

know, held it down.

[Mandy B]

Even held it down. The fact that she named that nigga Future. What type of dick that nigga got. You named your child after a stage name? What were you thinking?

[Jason Charlie]

Yeah, that is kind of crazy, though.

[Mandy B]

Who were you thinking? Imagine if she had a baby with bow wow or 50 before that. Naming a baby. Like, what are we talking about? But yeah. Shout out to. I don't know who I'm shouting. Shout out to the great dads. Especially with Father's Day coming up and you know, I ain't shit. I didn't even know Father's Day was the weekend of Juneteenth.

[Yomi]

I was gonna attempt, but it would have been too much. Plus, Shameless Plug. The day we recorded is my birthday.

[Mandy B]

Ah, shit.

[Yomi]

So that's another reason why. That's another reason why I said Damn. I fly in. That's gonna be a lot of work to be doing for three, four days.

[Mandy B]

It's okay. No, I'm gonna bring breakfast, and then we're gonna party after. There we go. We're partying after.

[Yomi]

Well, you know, to see this nigga. Cause he about to turn the fuck up.

[Mandy B]

He's already ruining it for me. Why close compound? My tickets are only vip, not artist bands. Ugh.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

B might be in the building.

[Yomi]

But you know what? You know what, though? But you are. You are me.

[Mandy B]

I'm about to hit black thought right now.

[Yomi]

Like, nigga, but you. Mandy B, we know the VIP passes today won't be the passes she has on the day.

[Mandy B]

No, no, no, no. Oh, yeah. I'm going to work.

[Yomi]

Yeah, you know.

[Jason Charlie]

Come on.

[Mandy B]

But they said it's a closed compound because they don't want us to see Blue and B. I'm sure.

[Jason Charlie]

Well, that's different.

[Mandy B]

And that's Saturday. Ain't nobody gonna be able to be around me Saturday.

[Jason Charlie]

He's performing Saturday.

[Yomi]

Right? So let's do this. What would you do if you had access to the car compound?

[Mandy B]

I just want free drinks and a. And I don't want to P. So

[Yomi]

you got Jay Z, Beyonce and the kids. You got Ty. Ty Emory, the fam. And Mandy walks in the room. What's your name?

[Mandy B]

Why am I Julius with his fine ass? What you talking about? Julius is fine, man.

[Yomi]

She just

[Jason Charlie]

swerve.

[Yomi]

Bring her to the compound. She's not a threat.

[Jason Charlie]

For the chaos. For the chaos.

[Mandy B]

I don't want no picture. Like Beyonce. Maybe I would like a picture with her. But Jay. I've actually ran into Jay. Talked to Jay at 40. 40. Like, I've been in the room.

[Yomi]

What if Beyonce come up to you?

[Mandy B]

Like, hey, I've been in the room with Beyonce.

[Yomi]

What'd she say? Hey, Mandy, what are you gonna do? You would lose it.

[Mandy B]

Hey, B. Hey, B. First off, y' all know it depends how many my food and how many liquor. Cause y' all heard the story. I saw Huncho and was like, you the birthday, yo.

[Jason Charlie]

You the birthday.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

Like I said, I was so quick with it.

[Mandy B]

Like, it was corny.

[Jason Charlie]

That's important.

[Yomi]

It's better to be quick and corny than just not be anything.

[Mandy B]

I'm corny. Like, literally, I'm sitting next to Phaedra last week at the dinner for Birthday bash, and I have to introduce her. And I'm like, uh, this card don't say what my girl is. She all the things. She a mother. She's a current housewife. I love Phaedra. Phaedra's great, actually.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

You gotta talk about when y' all was in the store and she had her hand.

[Mandy B]

Oh, oh, I ain't even gonna hold you. Cause this is me. So Phaedra wrapped her arm around me, so we're taking pictures, and she rested on my ass. And she starts complimenting me on my ass, but her hand stays on it. I said, oh, girl, I'm real gay. You better stop flirting with me.

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

And then she shows a.

[Mandy B]

And then I show her my fingers, and she's like, ah, she lost it. She lost it.

[Yomi]

So now what? There was no follow up.

[Mandy B]

Now that she let me know, she demures. She's a Southern belle.

[Jason Charlie]

She banned you?

[Guest or Minor Speaker]

But I feel like I would ask.

[Yomi]

Cause I'm like, all right, what's the climactic part of their life?

[Mandy B]

No, she nicknamed me.

[Jason Charlie]

She caught the field.

[Mandy B]

Not Two Chains. I'm Two Fingers.

[Yomi]

Yeah, Phaedra's crazy.

[Mandy B]

Phaedra.

[Jason Charlie]

I met phaedra outside at 2 Chain's Pink Haunted House. This was like eight, nine years ago on Halloween. And I didn't know Phaedra from nowhere. She just came up and just started talking to friends.

[Mandy B]

I was like, oh, girl, you cool. She's seen as a villain online as well. And in the reality.

[Yomi]

Yeah.

[Jason Charlie]

I don't know where her lore is

[Mandy B]

to the point, but when I say just her energy. She was funny, she was fun, everybody. I was like, okay, Phaedra, you done got up on my Housewives rankings just a little. I've always loved her.

[Jason Charlie]

She's the only housewife I ever met.

[Mandy B]

I'm glad she's back on Housewives and not on Married to Medicine anymore. But anyways, Love it, love it, love it, love it, love it.
