Hear me out. I think we collectively need to figure out a specific number for the word viral. This used to be a thing that made sense, but now I feel like some of y' all need help because you call it anything viral. I sometimes. To get your own kicks, you know what I mean? Like, oh, I put my baby mama out the house and. And. And I recorded it, and next thing I know, that shit went viral. Just because everybody at your workplace and all your family seen it does not mean it's viral. We don't know what the fuck you're talking about, and we don't care. And even if, like, who Shot John Blog posted it, I feel like if I hear about it, if my mama didn't hear about wasn't viral at all. Not just because my mother is older than me, but my mother is older than me and actually uses TikTok, so there's no way. There's no. She's on Instagram. She on all the places I'm trying to keep her away from. So if my mama don't know what you're talking about. Was it viral? And why do you need it to be viral? You know that word comes from virus. Just be satisfied with whatever number you got, okay? If it's you and your iguana and your ex looking at this, it's fine. But don't say it's viral, because even if it is. And what, like, you're not one of the icons? You're not. Hide your kids. Hide your wife. You're not. Ain't nobody got time for that. You ain't even do it for the Vine. Calm down and go to work, bitch. Hi, I'm Kip Fury. Welcome back to Furious Thoughts, Young people. Just give me some time to not even cook. Just let me prep for the meal. Just let me get my ingredients in order. Hear me out. What if I told you that you're gonna be ugly until you 30? Listen to me. Shut up. What if I told you that you're gonna be ugly until you're 30? Like, yeah, the skin is tight. And metabolism, or whatever the fuck, you are gonna hit your 30s and you're gonna look back at videos and pictures of yourself now and be like, I looked a mess. I could not dress. What was my hair doing? What was my lack of facial hair doing? I promise you, you not gonna be fine. If you do get there, it won't be until your early 30s at least. I promise you, you can argue with your mama about this. She'll tell you the same thing I'm Telling you, furthermore, you'll get there. You will get there. I promise you. You'll see the light. You will see the light. I, I, I, I assure you. I think I've also just been old my whole life. I think I was spiritually bold born. I think I was spiritually born and old nigga. So I've never really been like, oh, you know, oh, look at all these specifically fine niggas. I was always hyped to be around a nigga who knew how to roll a blunt and had advice. All that to say, right? I promise you, bookmark this. If you make it up there, your friends and folks make it up into their 30s, I promise you, you gonna look back and be like, not only did I look a mess, I am gorgeous now. And I don't even say that to how I feel about me. I just think that's something you should know. I mean, I am beautiful, but that's not the point. New theory. Theory. And I, I genuinely believe this one. I think a lot of gay Hollywood producers have like an underground bet on like who can make the most money creating trash. Think about this, like Ryan Murphy garbage. Tyler Perry, inexcusable. Lee Daniels just had Glenn Close, one of the most fantastic actors of all time, talking about smelling nappy pussy. They're doing it on purpose. They're doing it on purpose. They want these things to be bad and they know that you will watch them regardless, especially if they're bad, which is confusing for me on a different plane. But I really feel like these queens have like a WhatsApp where they're like, let's see who can get the lowest ratings with the most money and then whoever wins gets like a yacht or I don't know, 10 to 20 escorts. But think about it, like, wouldn't that make sense? There's no reason that they're like, like hardwired to making horrible things and just them. And you guys know that I am, I'm psychic. So with my gift for divination, astrologically, astro, astrologist, you never know, right? Astrology is when you be talking about like Sagittarius and, and astronomers. When you know about space black people, I'm begging you, when you go over to a game night, be open minded. My God, do we always have to play uno, spades and Domino's hoe? Can, can you figure out another game? Are we allowed to play anything else? Do you know what the problem is with you who go to game night and only want to play three games because you don't like Rules. You hate rules. You. You hate learning new rules. Your attention span is fucked because all you do is doom scroll and watch. Natalie None. Here I am wanting to have a good joyous time and play Scream the game or fucking traitors. And two steps in to the gaming process. Niggas on Snapchat. So why did you come? Why do you. Okay, let's take it back then. Because I know that you ungrateful, know how to play shoots and ladders and guess who. Let's just play. Sorry. Let's just play. Don't wake daddy. What's the other? The hospital. One was with the. With the organs. Maybe you pick out the organs.

Operation.
- [06:35]
A
Let's play operation. You don't want to learn a thing. Can we have a good time? Fuck. Or at least just say, hey, I don't want to play nothing. But I will bring over some casamigos and ice. Just be all like, I'm tired of playing Uno. I'm tired. And then I'm getting irate. And then y' all don't even play those rules right. And then y' all won't even play those rules right. I can't remember the last time I have played Uno with and we have all been on the same page about how it's played every single time. It's like, oh, let me stack this Draw 4 on this Draw 4. No, you shall not stack a draw floor ATOP another draw 4. We shouldn't even be stacking draw twos. And Uno, Hasbro. Whoever told you bitches that directly on social media and you told them to go fuck themselves. You said, this is how we play the game. To the creators of the game. What is wrong with y'? All? I connect four. I guess we'll do that, too. That's a classic. The other day, I was flying back to Los Angeles from Baltimore, boarding the airplane, and I saw a white gentleman in front of me with his father. I think he was mid-20s. This man had a bubble coat on, shorts and thong sandals, bare feet, thong sandals. Boarding an airline, an aircraft with his bare bitties out, just bare raw toes out in the wintertime in Baltimore. And I just. I'm like, where does the sense of adventure come from? I think for niggas, the sense of adventure is staying alive, you know? So, like, where. Where do you be? Like, you know what I'm going to do today? I'm going to wear a down coat and flip flops in public. I might just do like some man on the street shit and just ask white people questions because. And Also, thong sandals above the age of 8 and below the age of 80. Thong sandals, bitch. Did you think that you was at, like, Cocoa beach, ho. Did you think you was at, like, the south of France? We in Baltimore, it's cold. And you know what? Y' all love being barefoot in the airport too. I'm sure when you were sitting down at the gate, you just had your whole feet out on the carpet. I wish y' all would stop telling people where to move or where not to move because you're not having a good time. The amount of people, and it seems to be a real big problem here, the amount of people who eventually get source towards LA and people who are, like, interested in moving here or moving back. You. You go on this, like, personal Legend of Zelda quest to stop them. You collect all the korok seeds and you go get the master sword or whatever and you're like, no, don't move to la. It sucks. And. And smog and people are awful and broke and this and like, what are you, a Moesha diary bitch? Like, why are you trying to narrate this ho's life? They could move here and have a great fucking time. Maybe the problem is you. And I would attach that to the sentiment of, oh, you know, this city or that city. LA is. Is this LA sucks. So I'm going to move to Texas, or I'm going to move to Miami, or I'm going to move to Atlanta. I'm going to move DC because LA is trash. I'm New York City. All of those places are also going to be trash because you're going. Because you're going to be there. So, you know, you could shit on whatever location you at and try and talk people down into the same pit of despair and resentment as you. But, girl, that's your problem. And I think you will probably see very soon because once you move to Bikini Bottom and they kick your ass out too, because you are still you and you suck. Maybe you'll reflect. You probably won't. You probably needed to hear that. Good luck. The other day, I googled how much is crack? Just out of curiosity. I don't even really remember where this question came from, but I guess I really wanted to know. I googled how much is crack? And I learned a lot. For what it's worth. Just to clarify, I'm not interested in purchasing any crack. This is just for educational purposes. But yeah, I just wanted to know. Currently it's like $10 a fix or whatever Lin Whitfield said. So I guess it's affordable. Maybe not in this economy. If you're like a crackhead, let's leave the singing jobs to the singers. Oh, wow. Walk into the room personally, professionally. Disney movie karaoke Saturdays. Actually, karaoke is fine. You're supposed to sound like trash there. If you can sing a karaoke, girl, go home. What the fuck you trying to impress, Ho? Let us have a good time. Other than that, especially if making money is involved for the singing jobs. Oh, my God, please let the singers do it. I don't care how else you got here. I want to hear talent personally. Unless it's a joke, and even then you got to be really specific. But I'm really exhausted. And actually I can name a few real life artists that sing a lot and they never should. You probably can think of at least 3 of the people in my head right now. The issue is, why do they have careers? Why do people let them? What's going on again? Remember when I said we should bring shame back? Perfect example. You can't sing. Shame on you. Do you see how, like, that balances out? I mean, not like, oh, you have stretch marks or a fupa. Shame, like, that's disgusting. But wasting everyone's time. Shame on you. I don't remember what I was talking about. What the fuck was I thinking about when I wrote this? I don't really understand what's wrong with being a third wheel. Because some bikes have three. It's called a tricycle, and it gets the job done. So where's that term come from? I think I waste a lot of time, like, not even on purpose, just thinking of random phrases and being like, what was that about? Like, by George. I think we've got it. Who the fuck is George? And, like, by him is George bisexual. We talked about this and, like, why George? Who is that? I waste a lot of time up here. I waste a lot of time up here. But I guess not, because now I'm doing it here as a job, so I win. Sometimes I'd like to go back to a time where I knew some shit was gonna be fire. When at the beginning of the song, it would go AOL Music first. Listen. Remember back in, like, Kazaa days and Napster and shit, where you would, like, pirate these songs from AOL or wherever? I guess, or. Y' all remember this one Tape Masters Inc. Youth. The kids don't have. I mean, I guess they have, like, if Young Metro don't trust you, gonna go shoot. They have, like, all that, like, all the producers and have taglines and Stuff which I do think is fierce, but that's on purpose. You know, tape masters in AOL music, those things edge to it, because shouldn't have been stealing those songs. Shouldn't have known how to do it. And let me tell you, the one bright side I could think of for me in high school was burning CDs and selling them. Burning CDs and selling them. And why were we in 9th grade, 10th grade with bitches asking me to make them a CD with a T shirt and panties on by Adina Howard. Ma', am, we're 14. Like, they knew what? And they knew I knew what type of time they was on. You over here talking about you want Adina Howard on here and you want Keith Sweat on this bitch. How do you even know that? That was super before our time, kind of. And like, what a pretty ricky. Because we were in Miami. Like, oh, I know what this CD is for, and I'm not even sure I should make it because it feels like enabling your path to pregnancy before graduation. And at that point in public school, I'd seen enough of that. I was tired of being in social studies with this bitch in her third trimester. So that was not something I was proud to contribute to because I know, I know what was going down. But I made a pretty penny because nobody else, I guess, in my grade knew how to do it. So that's fun. This one's out. Going out to AOL music first. Is AOL music at the same. Is that a thing still? Is AOL a thing? I guess not. I mean, Justin Timberlake did try to bring back MySpace for like a month. And girl, everybody was like, just bring sexy back instead. We don't need. This is stupid. What the fuck was that? Like, girl, where are you going? You had a better time having us accept them cornrows than bringing my space back. And why did you think that you could have a blonde fro? I'm getting off topic. Speaking of nostalgia, sometimes I go back and list look at videos and photos and I asked myself, were we allowed to have style in the 2000s? Was it against the law? Why was everybody's outfit so God damn ugly? 2000 to like 2007. Everybody was dressed with like, looked like post its. Like everybody. Everything was so ugly. Like superstars were on a red carpet for like the Grammys or some shit like that and looked like they had on tissue paper. Everybody like, oh God, remember the like the, the belly jewelry and the, the high thongs that came out over the denim von Dutch hats jersey Dresses, high heel timbs, long white tees. What was that combo of like a. Of like a spaghetti strap, bedazzled, and then like a skirt that had all these tassels and shit on it. Boots with the fur. Disgusting. I really don't. I feel like we should just delete footage from that whole extended period. Because I go back and look at photos of me and some of my current faves and, like, was it against the law for us to dress nice? 90s fashion, great. 80s fashion, great. 70s fashion, great. 2000 is like someone died. I don't know what happened, but everybody was ugly. Speaking of fashion, straight guy fashion is back to Butch Queen. It's pretty satisfying. You know, we went through the baggy extra long tee that Andre 3000 said look like a nightgown. You know what I'm talking about. To, you know, just fierce Nike techs and, you know, Gucci belts. We're fully back to Butch Queen. We're back to, like, the tight this and the tight that. We're back to, you know, a bright color or two. Bedazzled belts. Everyone dressing like Young Thug when he first came out. And it's like Butch Queen first time as a suitcase. I really don't understand, like, the overall look, you know, I don't really get what's backing it, but I don't hate it. I don't hate it. I love when straight niggas get into their. Their Butch Queen jush. It's entertaining, especially because y' all don't know how to do it. Y' all look foolish, but you seem to feel good and that feels good. I know that y' all shake in your new balances. Whenever I talk about my death. I'm gonna tell a joke if y' all do not sing. Thank you for being a friend at my funeral. Fuck y'. All. You didn't know me at all. You never cared about me. You never listened. You never were never present. If you bitches do not sing. Thank you for being a friend as well as book that one nigga who made the, like, gospel version to it. Y' all know what I'm talking about. If you don't do that at my funeral. Disgusting. Do not visit my grave, girl, don't even bury me. Just cremate me at that point. Cause y' all bitches never care. Scatter my ashes wherever. I don't care. Could be behind a fucking Ross I like at that point. Because what was my life anyway, you know? Sing one of the most powerful, loving songs of all time. Thank you for being a friend. Travel down the road, back again, heart true pal. Confident. And my favorite portion of the record, if you threw a party and you invited everyone that you knew, you would see that the biggest gift was for me. And a card attached would say, thank you for being friend. The reason that that is my favorite part of the record is because it is disgustingly petty. You mean to tell me that if we're having a party for me and everybody that I know is here, my mom, my dad, children, maybe cousins, my man, you know, I'm my man's other man. Everybody is here that I know. And you brought me the biggest gift. That is so petty. And I love it. I love it. Imagine, like, your husband for your birthday gets you, like, a Rolls Royce, parks it outside. Everybody's screaming, oh, my God, it's like super sweet 16. And they hear you come with a fucking Boeing. You hear you come with Drake's Jet. Like, suck my dick. The biggest gift will, in fact, be for me. That is so fierce. So when I'm good and done, y' all know what to do. Y' all know what to do. And I plan on haunting the girls. I will be there in spirit. And I will look at every single face that did not take part in my life's theme song. And I'm going to Hereditary, you bitches. The Babadook, the others, Paranormal Activity. I am dragging you bitches like Katie and Micah. Horror fans. You know what I'm talking about. Do the thing. Do the right thing. Sing me the song in the name of Shady Pines. I think that's it for Furious Thoughts this week. I hope you learned something, and I hope you're changed for the better. Let's take a break so that I can adjust my brassier. And we will be back. Ladies and gentlemen, and all folks of this planet that we call Earth, welcome back. Today we have an extra special guest that I'm super excited to be seeing light in the flesh and to be speaking to on this program. Okay. She's an actor, she's a singer, she's a mommy, and she is a bad bitch. And she is the moment. Wendy, we miss you. Parker, McKenna Posey is here.
- [24:05]
B
I'm here. I can't believe it. You guys, thank you for coming. No, thank you for having me.
- [24:10]
A
You know, the fuck Good.
- [24:12]
B
Thank you. I thought, you know, let me try and be cute today. Let me try and do a little pink moment. My favor. It.
- [24:17]
A
And yeah, you're vibing just a little.
- [24:20]
B
Just a girl.
- [24:22]
A
Yes.
- [24:22]
B
Just trying to survive. Trying to Survive. I see just a girl surviving.
- [24:26]
A
I know what the project's called.
- [24:28]
B
Hey, things are up in the air right now. Like some new people have come in and like. And I'm like, ooh, I don't want you to change the. The title of my project, cuz I've been so dead set on that. So, yeah, yeah, just for your rides, a party.
- [24:41]
A
We'll get to that. So the first time that I was introduced to you, that many of us were introduced to you, was on a show called My Wife and Kids, still running in syndication, and things of that nature. And I've run my mouth for years and years about how much I love sitcoms, how inspired I always was or still am by sitcoms and you at a very young age. Cause you were what, five years old when you started?
- [25:11]
B
I started when I was like three and a half. I was young and the show ended when I was like turning nine, right before my ninth birthday.
- [25:18]
A
Okay.
- [25:19]
B
So, yeah.
- [25:20]
A
And so you very early on had this great command of comedy. And I will just tell you now to fan out that you have in sitcoms. You have one of my favorite line deliveries ever.
- [25:37]
B
Really?
- [25:37]
A
It's the pie episode of Wife and Kid.
- [25:39]
B
That's one of my favorite ones.
- [25:41]
A
It is. For those of you who don't know or need a refresher, there's an episode of My Wife and Kids where Michael is going to get a pie, his favorite pie, out of the fridge. It is missing. And he goes on 20 minutes of hijinks with the kids to try and figure out who ate this pie. And the children locked in on not snitching. It was one of the few times he kind of didn't get his way right in the end. He didn't figure it out. And I promise you, I love this
- [26:12]
B
afterwards, though, please do. I know that I got pink eye because, you know, we were obviously our faces and I, yeah, I ended up getting pink eye because I had so much lemon meringue pie in my goddamn eye.
- [26:25]
A
I can't film, though. It had to be a delight to film it.
- [26:28]
B
It was amazing. Every filming everything on that show was a delight. Like, honestly, I mean, the weighins in general, I mean, they are hilarious. They embody just funny. So.
- [26:39]
A
So you being the youngest one in this main cast.
- [26:42]
B
Yes.
- [26:43]
A
The end of this episode, Michael, Kyle says, y' all gotta promise me when it's all said and done, before I take my last breath, you had to tell me you ate my pie. And Lil gave without missing a beat. You go, Claire. And the Delivery was so dry, so intentional. So like, oh, I've been waiting to snitch on this bitch. Anyway, so like that part it. So to this day, if I see this episode, I will start laughing at that delivery. What was it like? Because my wife and kids was one of those episodes. I mean one of those shows that was chock full of comedians, main cast, recurring guest stars.
- [27:24]
B
You had like heavy hitters, Katt Williams, like everybody. Kevin Hart. Yeah, there was a lot of people.
- [27:32]
A
Yeah. What was it like being a comedian at three to nine? Do you even remember how your perception of professional as a comedian on set?
- [27:44]
B
I think honestly, like, I haven't even. I love that you're calling me a comedian because I definitely don't view myself as that and I love that that's where I got my start, obviously is from a comedic show. But I prefer, at this time of my life, I prefer drama for myself. So I don't view myself as like, you know, I was just a part of a show that had amazing comedians and who kind of like bred or raised other comedians like Katt Williams and gave them their kind of shots, their moments in time and even then listen, listen to look back and just. I think I realized that also like at a younger age when my wife and kids was over, like, what the fuck? I was on a show with literally the greats, you know, like, who get. You can't get any greater, honestly, especially in comedy. So I didn't view myself as that. So thank you for giving me those little flowers. But you know, I was just a kid and I think I just, I'm just a funny person. I guess naturally people tell me that now, but I come from a funny family and we're, we're very dry. We have very dry humor. We're very. I'm a very sarcastic person in my day to day life and I'm kind of like a little asshole. So I think, yeah, it just comes out, it came out in those moments.
- [28:55]
A
So yeah, that's what like my favorite comedies and sitcoms have a cast where everyone gets a character and quirk and moments to just be a fool. And my wife and kids was absolutely. That it wasn't this thing where the dad is zany and everyone's just dealing with his bullshit. His wife was a. All three. Everyone was crazy.
- [29:20]
B
It was a lot. So you, the neighbors, the friends. Yeah, it was a lot.
- [29:24]
A
The uncles, you held your own. You were still holding your own around some like comedic heavyweights.
- [29:29]
B
Thank you.
- [29:30]
A
So in your head at that time, you were just Being a kid, I
- [29:32]
B
was literally just being a kid. Like it didn't feel like a job to me. I feel like I say this all the time, it just didn't feel like a job. It was just something like I was just going to just live my life every day. Like I don't know, it's so weird to think of. Cause like I obviously have a daughter. So thinking about putting her in that situation now at her age, because we would be, you know, around the same age, I just, I can't see it for her. I think that I thought I was like a grown little lady back then and my mom wanted to be an actress. So I think she inspired me and just instilled that confidence in me and it just didn't feel like a job, it just felt like organic. Yeah, exactly.
- [30:09]
A
Yeah. Well, being that you were a child star and like a lot of people have had sentiments and documentaries and all kinds of things about child, child stardom, is there anything that you recognize or remember about that experience that you don't really hear echoed or spoken about much, good or bad?
- [30:35]
B
No, you know what, I think just the Internet has given us so much access to so many people's different experiences and just all the documentaries like you said, just everything that we have now, it's like, I don't know, I, I thankfully never really experienced anything like too crazy back then. I just remember obviously getting advice from Tisha, just little things because obviously she was in the game before being on my wife and kids for several, several years at a young age as well. So I don't know, I was just fortunate to. I guess I got lucky and I was just around good people. But there's nothing that I can tell you that isn't out there already is basically what I'm saying. I don't have anything too crazy to share and I personally haven't been through and thank God, you know, thank God that I haven't. But of course I've heard the stories, but it's nothing that we don't already know, unfortunately.
- [31:29]
A
Yeah, true. Well, you have grown from being a child star to now a grown ass woman star.
- [31:37]
B
Yes.
- [31:38]
A
And I'm really interested in what, like what is your favorite thing about nine year old Parker and what's your favorite thing about freshly 30 year old.
- [31:53]
B
Freshly 30 emphasis. Yes, I love that.
- [31:55]
A
Okay. Like a couple months ago.
- [31:58]
B
Yes, I did. Yes. So nine year old Parker, oh my goodness. I love just her spunk and like her zest for life and just her carefree attitude and I don't Know I found like I'm just going through things. Like I told you I've, you know, was on like my little mini hiatus from life. I feel like I literally took like a break from life for a second to just like, you know, like even welcome myself into 30 and just accept like where I'm at at 30. Because for some reason like growing up like I feel like male or female, I don't know why 30 was just so like emphasis like you're good. Yeah. Like it's like it's oh my. When you get to your 30s and I don't know even when we were kids, like looking at people in their 30s or someone who's turning 30, you're like, Ooh, like this is that, ooh, you're old and like this is that age. Like you're grown, you know. So I just wanted to take the time to reflect. But yeah, just the carefreeness of the nine year old Parker. And right now what do I love
- [32:51]
A
about 30 year old Parker part about being at this.
- [32:54]
B
My favorite thing about being at this age is I guess just feeling grown. Like even when it comes to like stuff with my mom, this probably sounds like really minuscule.
- [33:06]
A
Like give it to me.
- [33:08]
B
Even stuff with my mom and just like, you know what? Now I can like not, not put her in her place a little bit. But I'm just like, I'm speaking from experience now. Like I've been here for 30 years. Like it has nothing about like, oh, you know, like it's not, it's not. And I'm a mom now too. Exactly. So it's like sometimes like if I'm coming to you and I'm telling you like, hey, like you've done wrong or I think, you know, let's change here. Whatever the case, whatever we go through all the freaking time, our relationship, Lord love that lady. But yeah, I just feel like I'm now at that age where with her and everybody, I can just stand firm on how the I feel like and, and if you're not fucking with it, I'm not fucking with you and I don't need you to be in my space. I'm very comfortable, I'm too, almost too comfortable with being alone. But yes, and, and I, yeah, I'm just at that. That 30 has given me the firmness to just stand strong. Like this is how I'm feeling. This is what the I'm doing right now. And either you're with it and if you're not, sorry, but this is what I'm doing. Right now.
- [34:12]
A
Yeah. So what's best for you is what's best for you. I think Beyonce says something similar about, like, communication with her mom when she had kids. Initially she was like, it's like, I've been an adult for a minute, but I think I've now settled into the fact that I have a confidence through experience.
- [34:31]
B
Right.
- [34:31]
A
Where I can communicate with you as an adult to an adult, with respect, but also with boundaries.
- [34:36]
B
Yes, absolutely.
- [34:38]
A
And it's really awesome that you. Someone who's still incredibly on, has that level of understanding, because a lot of people go well into other decades in their life and generations in their life and still kind of struggle with holding on to or arriving at that level of firmness and those boundaries because of all kinds of reasons. So you can exhale and be like, this is where I am at, girl. And you can meet me here. Or you can go, with love.
- [35:06]
B
With love, always.
- [35:08]
A
Yes. I will say that, you know, being as gorgeous as you are and a former child star, I really am fascinated. I want to talk about this. I want to talk about the experience of growing into a bad bitch, because I'm like, there is absolutely no way. I'm incapable of believing. It does not come with sketchy ass commentary.
- [35:40]
B
Lord life, you know?
- [35:42]
A
So I'd love to know some of the, like, wild and crazy, but also, like, good. Like, what's some, like, wild, like, are you dead serious? Comments you've gotten from people like, oh,
- [35:55]
B
oh, my goodness, there's so many, like, literally comments. You want to know? Okay, so one of. I've heard this a few times, like, oh, I want to drink your bath water. Like, stuff like that is hilarious to me. Or like, oh, I bet your farts smell like, like, just nasty stuff like that. Of course. Of course there's the. The D pics, the D videos. I've gotten something really, really creepy. Really, really creepy. And I'm sure I'm not the only one out here. I don't even know if I should bring light, Melissa. I don't know if I should bring light. She's like, don't say it. I've had someone fully recording themselves doing that. This to my picture right, right there.
- [36:37]
A
So my thing is, were they expecting that you would be like, go for. I'm so proud of you. This is incredibly attractive. And you must be a decent citizen of any place. And I'm sure that your parents are super proud of you if they were ever present. Like, what is. What do they.
- [37:00]
B
I'm not sure. It's quite disgusting. And I don't. Yeah, I don't know. There's just, you know, it's consequences for being a bad bitch. And I know that I'm not the. I'm not the baddest bitch. And I'm not the only bad bitch who's going to say that. Like, there are a lot of consequences for being a bad bitch. But I always tell, I tell everybody, like, this is a. This is a Persona. Being a bad bitch is a Persona as well as like, it's in my heart, of course, but like, it takes a lot to, to.
- [37:29]
A
To get into the Babish aesthetic.
- [37:32]
B
It's a lot.
- [37:32]
A
It is a lot.
- [37:33]
B
It's a lot.
- [37:34]
A
Yes.
- [37:34]
B
And sometimes I prefer, you know what, to just be a regular bitch. Like, I love just being, you know, I do. Sometimes I love just taking it all off and just being a regular degular bitch. But getting it like, do, you know, do my makeup today. I was like, oh, like, I like this. I like, you know, my nails on. These are press ons. I'm a press on girly, like. But I'm really just a regular girl at heart. But you know, when I transform into a bad bitch, I love that. But there's consequences. There's consequences. But the thirst is all the time. Whether you look crusty, dusty, messy. They don't give us as well. Like, they really don't. They don't. But they go crazy when you're bad. When you're bad, they're like, oh my. They lose their minds. But.
- [38:11]
A
And some of you need a center. Some of you need a center. I'm not even going to call it a detention center necessarily. But you need to be someplace you can't leave until that is studied and cured. I feel the, the bath water thing for me is like, okay, first of
- [38:29]
B
all, or bottle your up. Like, I've heard stuff like that and it's just like, how gross can you get? Like, I don't care how bad A is. There's just certain things like I don't want. I'm not, I don't. I don't need to see or know about those things. Like what happened to shame? Bring shame back.
- [38:45]
A
This is.
- [38:46]
B
Listen, Bring shame back. Please bring it back.
- [38:49]
A
Mamdani, if there's anything you're gonna do, if there is any possible ripple effect, bring back shame. What are like, is there some fun comments that you get?
- [39:02]
B
Fun comments.
- [39:02]
A
I feel like it's usually the girlies that are like, yes. They leave the like positive.
- [39:06]
B
It is. I mean, who doesn't love to see a good comment from like, you know, another bad bitch. Of course a fellow bad bitch, you know, or like you've commented a couple of times on some. I feel like you commented on like a mom post of mine and like that warmed my heart. You know, there's little things from that. You're like, oh, it matters. But just people comment on just me being a good mom. Like that always warms my heart. It's been great to see some people sticking up for me time to time, you know, a couple. It's been nice to see random people have a clap back for me or other women come. And I love that. Like, I love when just a woman comes on is like, what the. Get this nonsense off her page. Like, I love those moments. So yeah, there's, there's good comments as well. And sometimes what I'm feeling because, you know, I'm a human being, sometimes the comments, of course they bother me or I'm like, you know what you. I'm about, you know, sometimes I have time. So I have gotten into it.
- [40:01]
A
Yeah, for sure.
- [40:02]
B
But you know, some. The people that love me and want me to just focus on, on the good, they're like, there's so many more good comments than the bad. So why the exact comments out of the. The 300 are you gonna be so bothered?
- [40:16]
A
Yeah, we're human.
- [40:17]
B
Yeah.
- [40:18]
A
It's okay to feel some type of way about people being unnecessary sometimes. It is always delightful when you have people who will handle that work for you before you even see it.
- [40:31]
B
Love that.
- [40:32]
A
People who just appreciate you or who are just leading in light enough to be like, don't worry about this. I got this. Yeah, bitch. What the fuck did you like? It's enough to get you out of bed.
- [40:43]
B
Yes.
- [40:47]
A
Seeing of like, what did you call it? The. The something of being a bad bitch.
- [40:53]
B
Consequences.
- [40:54]
A
Yes. I put the good and bad of being a bombshell.
- [40:57]
B
Yes.
- [40:57]
A
I think that we should make that a Lifetime movie.
- [40:59]
B
I think we should. Because there's so many things like I feel like even just, I don't know, I feel like being a bad bitch is like sometimes more of a curse than it is is a good thing sometimes. And then, you know, I just, I, Yeah, I'm just out there on the Internet, I'm looking at things as well, you know, looks fade. So it's just like it's such a, it's bad culture. Although, you know, I, I, you know, I cosplay as one some from here time to time. It's. It's a lot of Pressure. It's a lot of pressure. And, you know.
- [41:27]
A
Yeah, yeah.
- [41:28]
B
It's a lot.
- [41:29]
A
It is. I want to talk about music.
- [41:32]
B
Yay.
- [41:34]
A
I have my daddy.
- [41:36]
B
Daddy, my daddy, my daddy from my.
- [41:39]
A
I don't even remember where I got this. I think I was very drunk. Either way, I wear it a lot because the point is right there. So I would love to know what got you started on this musical journey and how much fun you've been having. I can't tell you how often I've been saying, ladies, leave that lame niggle. He a loser with the hard R. Loser. It's so la. I love the hard R at the end of all of these words.
- [42:06]
B
It's so la, right?
- [42:08]
A
It really is. Since I was a kid on the
- [42:10]
B
other side, it's West Coast. I won't say la, but it's.
- [42:12]
A
It is kind of West Coast.
- [42:14]
B
West coast, yeah.
- [42:15]
A
But I definitely attribute it to LA from all the fucking John Singleton movies and shit. I've been saying buster since before I got here. And I'm just like, I don't know why that is a thing, but I love it.
- [42:27]
B
That is an LA thing, definitely.
- [42:29]
A
Yes.
- [42:29]
B
And I love that.
- [42:31]
A
What's going on with the music?
- [42:33]
B
Oh, goodness. What's going on?
- [42:34]
A
Can we hear more?
- [42:35]
B
You can absolutely hear more. Very, very soon. Things have just been like. It's crazy because. Okay, so you wanna know about the start of the journey, so. Of course. I've always wanted to be involved in music somehow, some way, since I was a little girl. That's always been one of my dreams as well. Being a Mariah Carey fan, of course.
- [42:53]
A
Who the hell taste.
- [42:54]
B
We didn't wanna hop on the track one time.
- [42:57]
A
Oh, my God. I'm telling you. An embarrassing Mariah Carey story.
- [43:00]
B
Okay.
- [43:00]
A
Yeah.
- [43:01]
B
I won't forget because I choose my fave, so, you know, just always wanted to. And so, of course, approaching 30, it was like a big thing because I've. I've gone into the studio a few times. Like, I'm not gonna say a few. Several times over the years. Like, since I was probably, like 15, I probably recorded, like, my first song, you know, used to play around in the studio with my God brother. I love you, Marcus. So, yeah, we would. We would play around a lot, been in and out of the studio, but I've never recorded something that I was like, oh, my God, I love this and I want to share it with the world or any buddy. Honestly, I've been really, really shy about my music.
- [43:33]
A
It's like that with art.
- [43:34]
B
Yeah. It's just like. So, yeah, I just. I linked up with Dennis, and he just put me in hands with amazing producers and engineers and just got me with good writers. And we worked on some stuff for, like, a week. And I came home and I was like, I have, like, eight songs that I love, and I want to finish, and I want to, you know, pour my heart and soul into for a little bit. And that's exactly what I did. And then it led me to releasing Daddy, and Releasing Daddy was kind of just like. It was for fun.
- [44:04]
A
Yeah.
- [44:04]
B
Like, it wasn't really like, you know, because I have a lot of songs that are like. Like, my lane is more like pop, alternative. And I feel like Daddy and I feel like La Boogie is, like, more of, like, you know, kind of people like, oh, you're a rapper or you're trying to be a rapper, and it's
- [44:17]
A
like, no can rap if I.
- [44:19]
B
Right. You know what I call it? I'm, like. I get on the track and I just. I slide on the beat or, like, I'll get on there and I'll just talk my shit a little bit. Like, it's not. I'm not coming for Nicki or Cardi or Megan's spot at, like, y' all got it. Like, y' all really, really got it.
- [44:33]
A
Sza, for instance, is someone who. I think people think of her as primarily a singer, and I think she mostly sings across many genres. But every now and then, I'll be like, oh, wait, she's rapping.
- [44:45]
B
So I'm gonna get on there and talk her.
- [44:46]
A
Do what you want to do. Yeah.
- [44:48]
B
So that's kind of like what I'm on. But it started as fun, and it's led me to some great, great places. So I'm super excited. Like, I was thinking, oh, we're just gonna rush and put the project out, like, over the summer. Cause I'm thinking, oh, it was just some fun shit. You know, I'm just. It was back to saying, you know, turning 30. That was a big goal of mine, turning 30. Like, I'm gonna do this for me. So it turned into, like, a me thing. And then it started as a me thing, and now it's kind of turned into, like, a way more serious thing. So I want to put more time. It's. It really is like a baby. I'm trying to nurture it. I'm trying to figure out what, you know, my audience even likes and what they connect with. And also, I want to stay true to myself and just put out what I love. Because I'm so, like. I'm like, when I like something, I like something, I want to go hard on it, you know, So I love my songs already, but, you know, so many other things have come out of the woodworks and things are, you know, it sounds like.
- [45:39]
A
What you're saying, like, it sounds like, like, daddy Elle Boogie. Were you kind of getting being a performing musician off your dress? Like, it's almost like.
- [45:49]
B
It's just like kind of testing the waters and putting something fun out there first to just let people know. Like, hey, my loves, like, I'm here. This is what the fuck I'm doing. This is what I'm on. Seeing what people fuck with. Seeing if they. If anybody would even be interested in what I'm doing. Now that I know that, you know, three people are. Now that I know that the three people are fucking with me, I'm. You know, I want to go hard and really perfect my project just to grow. So that's what I'm going to do. And I want to put it out at a fun time. Like, I don't want to put my shit out during winter time when everybody's booed up and snuggled up and shit. I'm like, no, my music is fun. It's for fun people who want to have fun and catch a little vibe and just. Just be cute. So I want to do it in a cuter. In a cuter time and perfect it all and put it out.
- [46:34]
A
So, no, I mean, listen, I don't think. I don't think it is advantageous to release projects like that, especially music, until the person, the creative force behind it is like, it's done, it's ready. I think when you shoot for. It's gotta be this time because people are gonna be doing this. Gotta be doing this time because, I mean, if. If Covid and many other things I can list right now haven't taught you that you can't always be sure what people are gonna be doing or how they're gonna be feeling at any time.
- [47:04]
B
Right Then.
- [47:06]
A
I mean, I don't know what to tell you. Sometimes you just drop it when it's time to drop it. And when it comes out, you could get the feedback that, like, girl, I needed to hear this today. Like, there's so many times I've done something, I've just been like, I just went with it. When it felt right, then it's perfect that the timing is perfect.
- [47:26]
B
Right. Exactly.
- [47:26]
A
You're enjoying the. The pacing and.
- [47:29]
B
Absolutely.
- [47:30]
A
The journey.
- [47:31]
B
Absolutely, absolutely. And I feel Like, I'm so glad to be working with people that I am in music because they see my vision and they want to help support me to the best of their ability and make sure that my word also is bond. Like, it's not just what they want. They're not rushing me to do anything. They also want me to perfect it. And, you know, they're working with me. They're good.
- [47:51]
A
What's your favorite song right now? That is not yours, but like any
- [47:54]
B
song, my favorite song right now, I don't even know what the it's called, but it's like in the back of My Mind, it's like. Which is crazy. Which is like, terrible. In the back of my mind, I'm thinking about who did me bad. I just kept hearing it on Tick Tock over and over. I don't even know what the it's called. I'm like an old lady.
- [48:11]
A
So that is Tick Tock. But this is what Tick Tock has done to the world and everyone nuts. Everyone does, but we don't know what it's called.
- [48:19]
B
It may be called in the Back of My Mind, who knows? But I can't tell you who the rapper is. He's like, you know. You know how TikTok does. It's an underground person. Who knows? I don't know, but that's been stuck for me. And Rod Wade, he released Leaving. That also has been one of my favorites.
- [48:36]
A
So when I was, I don't know, let's say eight or nine years old, I was up past my bedtime in my bedroom and I was playing was. Was one of the songs from Glitter, the big ballad that is escaping me at that.
- [48:57]
B
Never too far away. Never too far away Love.
- [49:01]
A
Lead the way.
- [49:02]
B
Lead the way it was Lead the Way.
- [49:04]
A
I was playing Lead the Way on my stereo. Pass on Beethoven a little too loud and I had maybe like a rolled up magazine in my hand and I was on Drag Race. Like, I was lip syncing to Mariah Carey because the song is powerful piece of music. And I had my eyes closed and I'm just. I am on stage performing. And I opened my eyes and my mother was at my bedroom door. Like, had no idea because the music was too loud. She opened the door and was just like. And I threw whatever was in my head. I hopped into bed and put the covers over me. She was like, good. You gotta come my way. I thought it was good. I wanted death. I wanted immediate death. Great song, Mariah. That's your fault. I want to talk to you about Your daughter and motherhood for a bit. What's her favorite song? Do you know?
- [50:00]
B
Oh God. She would probably say daddy her ass. Oh my God. She loves that song. She's so crazy. She also loves. Right now, I'm trying to think, she actually has one. Oh, K Pop Demon Hunter. She's been on K Pop Demon Hunter's neck. She's got me fucking with K Pop Demon Hunters. Like the songs are good. They're really good.
- [50:21]
A
Great.
- [50:21]
B
The movie is also good and I would like to watch it myself. And it was kind of embarrassing cuz we watched it and then she left. She went with her dad for the weekend and I was like, why do I kind of want to watch K Pop?
- [50:33]
A
I mean, I'm already here and
- [50:37]
B
it's so cute.
- [50:38]
A
It is really adorable.
- [50:39]
B
Yeah.
- [50:41]
A
So first of all, I'm sure, like a lot of people have been asking you mommy questions. I guess the first thing that I wanted to know was how much of your daughter do you. How much of you do you see in her and how much of that informs the way that you raise her?
- [51:00]
B
I see a lot of myself in her. She is definitely that energy and like I said that zest and just spunk that I had then. I definitely see that within her and. And she's so funny. Like, they're quick, they catch on to things, of course. But it's funny to see the things that she does catch on to. Like she's also mentioned to me like, oh, I want to be a singer. Like I want to. She said, I want to go see my daddy in Atlanta. Like she's in her mind, you know, she can't fully form what that means, of course, being four years old. But like to her that means like, people are gonna be like, what the fuck? Why does she want to go see our daddy in Atlanta? But no, it's just they like what they like. Hey, right? No, I think it's just more she knows, like, oh, mommy's been working on her singing journey and doing stuff like that. So it's like she.
- [51:48]
A
I appreciate that, you know.
- [51:49]
B
So I think she. Yeah, she's like, oh, I want to, you know, kind of sing a little bit. Or I want to. She. I do see her interested in music. She kind of likes to play the piano a little bit. We have one at home. So she. I definitely do. Just the energy, the spunk, like I said, I see that. And as far as me wanting to raise her and how that helps me, you know, target her, I want to be very gentle with her feelings. And gentle with her when it comes to her self image. And I want to be gentle with her when it comes to. I want her to know that she has a voice. Like, she. I'm very. I ask her, like, oh, what do you want to. I'm always asking her. And I'm sure if anybody else heard me all day long, they'd be like, what the fuck? Like, just decide, like, you, you know, you're the mom or whatever. But I just. I always make it clear to her that, like, you have a choice and. And you have an opinion and what is it that you want to eat right now? Or, you know, what do you want to wear today? Like, I. Of course, I'm still mom, so what I say, you may not be wearing that today. I include her on a lot of stuff, and I think that that's important to establish at, like, a young age, especially someone who is clearly wanting to be the star. I see that in her. She has star energy and star power. So I'm like, okay, let me try and, like, you know, foster that and take care of that in a. In a delicate way.
- [53:04]
A
One of the things I really appreciate about parenting, as someone who isn't a parent, is that it seems like you really kind of get to vicariously live through them or experience childhood again in a way. Because I personally, kids this age, I love seeing all the things that they're interested in, from the obvious thing that's marketed to them to, like, the toddler who's just obsessed with water bottles. I don't know why. He just is. It's a shit.
- [53:36]
B
Or like, he likes just interesting things. Different.
- [53:39]
A
Just interesting.
- [53:40]
B
Even kids who like bugs. To me, I'm like, oh, my goodness. Like, it's. It's very. I'm like, oh, okay. Like, you. You really are interested and you like these creepy things and you want to play in the dirt and stuff. Like, that's not every kid.
- [53:50]
A
It's not like kids have different things. Some kids might be like, all of bugs, mud, rain, slime.
- [53:57]
B
Water bottles.
- [53:58]
A
Could be water bottles. Could be Barbies, could be, you know, like the kitchen cabinet. I just love seeing kids experience where we get so lost and so used to living, just living and seeing things and hearing that and so seeing young people just like our baby, when they discover their feet and they're like, lying on their back holding their foot. Oh, I got two of them. It's just like, can I take the day off? My baby figured their feet out, and I just. I need to sit here with this. What's that, like, how. Like, have you. What are some interests that are like, oh, she's really into this, or she's really into that, or she speaks up about this.
- [54:39]
B
She definitely. She. One thing that I see in her is just she likes to be kind. I see that a lot in her. She's very, very. She's overly kind sometimes. I see that in her. But, like, you're saying just seeing the innocence in them and seeing them live life and just discover it. Like, you're just figuring out your feet or little things like, oh, my God, why you know how to do that now, like, by yourself? That's crazy. But her interests. She just started gymnastics, so she's seeming, you know, like she's on that pace. And I'm just like, I love that, you know, because obviously my life was so different. I want her to just have. Have much more of a regular, normal life. Like, her dad is an athlete. So I'm just like, oh, I know. You already have it in you. Like, you're doing whatever. You know, you start soccer next week. Like, you're doing gymnastics, you're doing. I just. I want those things for her. So. But I don't want to force her into anything as well. So it's kind of like, you know, we're gonna test this out, and if you like it, you like it. But she seems like she's leaning towards, like, the gymnastics. She's also a weirdo, and she likes bugs and creepy things as well. We've been holding on to, like, this green beetle for, like, two months. This one green beetle has just been chilling with us, like, in a. Is it a conservatory? I don't know what it would be called. Yeah, I don't know. I don't. Abogatory. New. New word.
- [55:59]
A
Terrarium.
- [56:00]
B
Yeah, something like that. Something.
- [56:01]
A
We're just gonna go with one of those.
- [56:03]
B
A bugatory.
- [56:03]
A
That's what I'm saying.
- [56:06]
B
So we have this little thing. It has, like, the little microscope and stuff, but it's just one green beetle that's been in there.
- [56:12]
A
That's all you need.
- [56:14]
B
So she likes weird things. She likes spooky stuff. I love to see that in her. Like, she likes scary stuff. Like, she wanted to be Chucky originally for Halloween, and I love that she was Beetlejuice last year for Halloween. Like, she's really into just creepy stuff. Like, she would watch Chucky.
- [56:29]
A
I shouldn't even accept Chucky. When I was, like, 17, like, I wouldn't even walk past the Horror island blockbuster because I was like, I do not Want to see that person Now? Me and Chucky are homies, but I had to grow to that place. So this. This child is already born ready for the spooky.
- [56:46]
B
And I love that about her as
- [56:48]
A
you're describing her and children in thinking like, this new IT show, welcome to Derry. There's a young black boy on there who loves science and he loves just reading about science. And he had a scene that was so cute on the latest episode, it almost made me cry. Because he's talking to another black girl who's like, why you're reading a book on purpose? Like, not because it's like, you're so weird. And he explains to her that he just got stink bombed, but maybe he smells like, you know, a fart. Or he could also be covered in stardust because the same chemicals in a stink bomb are from, like. And he just had this cute little smile like, I'm interested in science, but I guess I'm weird. And she was like, no, that's actually kind of cool. I swear, I almost cried. I was just like, yeah, some children like all kinds of things.
- [57:37]
B
Yeah.
- [57:37]
A
And hell, the way this planet is set up, we might need that nigga to build us a spaceship at some point.
- [57:42]
B
Immediately, actually.
- [57:44]
A
And change our diapers on it.
- [57:47]
B
I'm done. Yes. Kids are cute. Honestly, I think they're my. My favorite little. They're beings, animals and kids for me right now.
- [57:56]
A
Mommy, bad bitch. Balance work for you?
- [58:00]
B
It works really well because, I don't know, I guess the career that I'm in, you know. Thank you. For an entertainer, things are, you know, you're on sometimes, you're off sometimes. So it works well in my favor because I don't always have to be on 24 7, you know, like, when she sees me all dressed up or like, when she's like, what are you doing? Where are you going? Like, she knows right away, what. What is going on? Cause she's used to seeing me just being regular, just being mommy, you know, so it works out well in my favor. I'm so.
- [58:26]
A
I didn't book you.
- [58:27]
B
No, literally, I saw her. She came home from school today and she. I opened the door and she was like, like, just horrified, I guess, that I had makeup on. Like, or sometimes she'll see me with makeup on, and she's like, you're leaving. I know you are. And I'm like, no. Like, I'm. I'. I had to do a quick interview through zoom or, you know, I just wanted to look like a normal person. She used to See me look like a crackhead. So she said, what the.
- [58:53]
A
It's impossible.
- [58:55]
B
No, I know everyone always says that, but I guess, yeah, my version of crackhead is probably different. Thank you. The balance is. It's good, though. It's good. I'm so fortunate for my family. I'm so fortunate for her dad as well, being so present, because they allow me to have the time to go off and pretend to be a pop star and pretend to be a bad bitch and all those things.
- [59:20]
A
Pretending. You claim these things. I love the humility, but you are all of the above. And I love that for you.
- [59:28]
B
I only say pretend because when I'm home, I'm home. Like, I'm not. I don't go out. Like, I really don't. Like, I've been. I'm literally. I'm a homebody. I'm home, I'm with my kid. I'm at.
- [59:41]
A
You also said cosplay.
- [59:43]
B
Yeah.
- [59:43]
A
So I get it.
- [59:44]
B
Yeah. This is fun for me. You know, it's my job, but it's fun for me. But I'm. I really am just like a regular girl just at home with her kid most of the time when I'm not working.
- [59:53]
A
So when you go home and you take the beat off and you put on the regular outfit, let's say today. What. What's like the. Like, I'm chilling now. I'm about to do this.
- [60:02]
B
I'm gonna smoke my blunt period. Okay. Which I'm trying to, like, tone down a bit. I know, but I want. I need to say it on camera so I'm accountable to my. I'm done.
- [60:15]
A
I feel you.
- [60:16]
B
Like, damn. I really try to, like, cut back a bit, but I'm gonna do that. She's gonna be at gymnastics with her dad, so I'll do that. And then I'm gonna cook dinner, and then it's gonna be bath time, and then I'm gonna wake up, get her ready for school in the morning. Like, that's literally what my day to day is, just being with my kid. And then, you know, when I go to Atlanta, I work on my music or I'm here. I have a studio that I can work out of here too, but I just don't have, like, a lot of my favorite producers here in house in LA yet. I haven't found them yet, so maybe I will.
- [60:47]
A
You could trip over a great producer in la.
- [60:50]
B
Listen, they're everywhere.
- [60:52]
A
Yeah, they're so good.
- [60:54]
B
Everybody in Atlanta is doing something that has to do with the art, so that's another reason why I love it there. Like. And that's what I was explaining to somebody the other day. They're like, oh, well, you can do just as much now that you're back home in la. And I'm like, yeah, I can. But it's just kind of different. Like, I don't know what it is about Atlanta, where it's just like, things are just happening there.
- [61:11]
A
I think film and TV also blew up in Atlanta within, like the past decade or so, whereas Hollywood's probably just super used to it.
- [61:20]
B
Yeah.
- [61:21]
A
So I think Atlanta is like, really hungry. They've got even like a huge influx of people who are like, I came here to act or sing or so on and so forth. They got a lot of musicians, I think, used to be in Atlanta, from other places, but Atlanta is basically another Hollywood now, so. But I think there's a different level of hunger.
- [61:41]
B
Absolutely.
- [61:42]
A
Which is probably what that's about.
- [61:43]
B
Absolutely.
- [61:44]
A
Yeah. Okay, well, going to wrap you up here. Last question. I'll ask this question.
- [61:50]
B
Oh, my goodness. And I was supposed to be thinking about this this whole time. A trend. Okay.
- [61:54]
A
Yes. What are you trending for? The girls at home? If you can make a global trend, snap your fingers.
- [62:02]
B
Oh, my God.
- [62:03]
A
Be a trend. What would it be? It could be anything under the world.
- [62:07]
B
Mine is gonna be so corny. Anything. Yeah. A trend.
- [62:11]
A
Yeah. No wire hangers, whatever you want.
- [62:13]
B
A trend. Can I say too, because one like corny. And it's like, what I really want for everyone in the world is just like, more kindness. Like, kindness counts. That's. That's a trend. Let's be more kind. Let's make kindness count again and let's get in our kindness bag and just, just spread more kindness. You never know what people are going through, obviously. Yada, yada, yada. All the. The especially.
- [62:33]
A
No, especially now.
- [62:36]
B
Yes. And I've been seeing something lately on TikTok, like people commenting in certain, you know, on crazy videos, whatever people are doing. People saying like, oh, you never know what's going on in someone's house. But it's like of crazy videos, I have people doing crazy funny shit, whatever. But no, for real, you never know what's going on in someone's house or in someone's life. So just.
- [62:55]
A
I think someone left that comment on my Tik Tok.
- [62:58]
B
What were you doing?
- [62:59]
A
I was Harlem shaking in front of my dog.
- [63:02]
B
Exactly. You never know what's going on inside of someone's house.
- [63:06]
A
I was like, wait, that sounds kind of.
- [63:07]
B
That's also it's like a thing that I've been seeing lately, and it's always on a funny video.
- [63:13]
A
Remember, you're from Harlem. You were born in Harlem. Don't forget re.
- [63:17]
B
What's. It's a girl, Link. It's a girl, right, Link? She was just like, what kind of dog is it?
- [63:22]
A
Okay, she's a Yorkie. She's 10. She just turned 10 last month. And she loves crime dramas and Jurassic park and nothing else. Getting her hair done. That's about it. She is boo cheek.
- [63:37]
B
I love that.
- [63:37]
A
That's why I was trying to remind her where she came from. I'll show you the TikTok. Well, I was trying to remind her where she came from. She was looking up at me like Angela Bassett. Like, bitch, if you don't get out of my damn face.
- [63:48]
B
I love that. Yes. It's definitely a comment I've been seeing lately, and I love it.
- [63:57]
A
Look at her face. Like, what does that have to do with.
- [63:59]
B
With this moment over it under her plush blanket. Okay, leave.
- [64:07]
A
She's like, I'm just trying to watch Ghost or whatever.
- [64:11]
B
Do you leave the TV on for her when you leave?
- [64:13]
A
I do.
- [64:13]
B
You do? Okay. Yeah, that's like a. A dog parent thing. She's like, you're in. In front of my show. Get on.
- [64:20]
A
She watches.
- [64:21]
B
Okay, my last thing. What was my last thing? Okay, No, I have. Okay, I'm just gonna do my last thing. So kindness is the first one, you know, my corny, cute one. And then the second one is Taylor Gang Tuesdays, because I used to do that in high school and you have to wear checks. I am like, I love Converse. I'm a Chucks girl. I got married in Converse. I'll probably get married in Converse again. I just. I love them. I wore Converse to prom. Like, I'm just. I'm a Taylor game Tuesday, so wear your motherfucking checks on Tuesday. And yeah.
- [64:51]
A
Is this like a thing?
- [64:53]
B
It was for me and my corny friends in high school, but, I mean, Taylor Gang comes from, like, Wiz Khalifa. Of course. You know, that was like. And he used to wear Chucks, too. But no, it's like Chuck Taylor. Okay, I think I'm gonna do that Taylor Gang Tuesday.
- [65:10]
A
Yeah, I'm adopting. I'm a chameleon. Okay. So I'm just going to go with the flow. I can appreciate that. Well, well, Ms. Parker. Can I call you Ms. Parker?
