Final Thoughts

The crowd is wild, the questions are messier than ever, and the reads? Brutal, brilliant, and always for the culture.

[Audience Member]

Come on, girls.

[Kid Fury]

Sting. Testing. There she is. First, I'd like to introduce myself. I am Neosha King of girl group Cherish.

[Crissle West]

And I am Coretta Scott King. Thank you for joining us here tonight. We are so excited to have y'. All.

[Kid Fury]

Yes. So first of all, you guys know that we start with Black Excellence.

[Crissle West]

Okay?

[Kid Fury]

Black Excellence. Tonight, Black Excellence is Atlanta. From your groundbreaking above ground railroad.

[Crissle West]

They finna swap it out.

[Kid Fury]

They finna Listen. I am yet a professional and I'm doing the best and I'm loud. From your groundbreaking above ground railroads to the black mecca that you are today. Your black arts, your black businesses, your black legislators.

[Crissle West]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

Your black ass food. This is an excellent black town and you should be proud of yourselves.

[Crissle West]

Amen. Amen. Always have a good time in Atlanta. I did not know Bruno Mars was here this weekend, child. Oh, wait, that traffic was the spot. Disgusting.

[Kid Fury]

Bruno Mars?

[Crissle West]

Yes. And I know how you feel about him, so we don't even have to go there.

[Kid Fury]

Wait, does he have new music out right now or is he just.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, he put an album out like a month or two ago. Look at you.

[Kid Fury]

My algorithm is Algorithm. She knew. I didn't care. Listen, all right, let's get into some festival activities. You guys already know how this shit go, don't you?

[Crissle West]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

Let's start with our hot tops of the week. What are we gonna do about this Klay Thompson issue?

[Crissle West]

Oh, they're pissed.

[Kid Fury]

He's not here.

[Crissle West]

He's not here, right? I actually, I think we should save her for the very end of the show.

[Kid Fury]

Say less.

[Crissle West]

Cause that bitch got the cussing out of a lifetime. And let me just say, I have seen y', all, okay, online with your Tiktoks and your Instagrams. Y' all have been going in, but you know we gonna have to tear that ass up. So let's just give it a minute. Cause I tr. No, I' ma wait. I'm a wait. But y' all know I've been pissed. But I' ma wait. But I' ma wait.

[Kid Fury]

I say we just mace her. All right, okay. We're saving it. We're saving.

[Crissle West]

We're going to wait.

[Audience Member]

We're going to wait.

[Kid Fury]

So what I will do is I will switch. I'll jump over to what would have been my transition, and I would like to say to Gloria. Hallelujah Samuels, or whatever the fuck her last name is.

[Crissle West]

Uh.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, keep a cute niece and keep your eyes yet on the Lord. Yeah, your name is Gloria. Hallelujah. How are you so far away from God?

[Crissle West]

I. I still want to know exactly what happened, but I'm telling you, every time some new shit come out, I just look at her more and more sideways, like, I really don't get it. And I feel like your man was just doing an interview after the game, talking about he gotta go to bed to get away from your annoying ass. And maybe you should be more worried about that than putting these shady ass little emojis and shit on Instagram stories. Like, you got your own issues. So, like, maybe just worry about yourself. Your stud ass sister hopping on Live every other business day, trying to squeeze an extra 15 minutes of fame out of that whole fucking situation. Your daddy, his lights ain't on. Like, you know, pick a struggle in your own fucking life. I don't like all this coming. Like, it's. That's already my girl. You know how I feel about Meg. I'm very protective. I care a lot because she's been through too fucking much and she don't deserve the bullshit she keep getting. So, like, why are you a bitch who is allegedly happy and got your own shit going on? Even worried about being online, being shady and messy, and pouring salt in the goddamn wound. Like, grow the fuck up, bitch. See, what is it really, Gloria what is it?

[Kid Fury]

I couldn't agree more. I could not agree more. When I saw those little emojis or whatever, two things came to mind. Exactly what you just said. At this point, you gotta evolve that shade into a full read, sit with both of your titties and let us know what the fuck is going on. Because you look crazy. This black woman ain't saying shit to you. And every opportunity you get to throw some jabs that way, you take it. Second thing, just what you said about this nigga's interviews. Like, simultaneously, you got a new song out with Lotto Pregnancy 2 or whatever the album is on the song. Talking about. First of all, she said something about her stud sister. You just a stud that's laced or something.

[Crissle West]

Oh, you know, I did not press play on that song.

[Kid Fury]

Another thing that she said on the verse really was the only portion of the song that stuck out to me or her. Part of the song was when she said something like, I'mma give Brandon a son next time he leave it in.

[Crissle West]

Yuck.

[Kid Fury]

First of all, incredibly graphic.

[Crissle West]

Please don't.

[Kid Fury]

Furthermore, the way that God works. So you sitting up here with another basketball player. We don't even know who this bitch is. I damn sure don't. I have no room, no opportunity to believe in y'.

[Audience Member]

All.

[Kid Fury]

I'm like, I don't. I don't believe in none of these niggas. So you doing all this when you are just around. Fuck, Nigga Boulevard is crazy to me. And you talking about you want to have this nigga's son.

[Crissle West]

Like, that's up to you, right? You finna pay for that? Cause you gotta pay a lot of money for that. Otherwise, girl, it's. It's kind of luck of the draw. But, yeah, we supposed to act like that nigga not probably also cheating on you. Like, he literally just told the whole world that he go to bed to not hear your mouth. You think he not at these road games, fucking on whatever he want to.

[Kid Fury]

Whatever.

[Crissle West]

I'm not even gone. I want to know what it is that Meg did, other than put you on, brought you on tour, gave your career a boost. Not saying you was a flop or nothing, because GLOW got plenty of songs that I like, but she didn't. As far as we know, she didn't do nothing but help you out. She didn't do nothing but be a girl's girl. So what is it that she did so terrible that you've been sending little shots and being a messy ass bitch online for months? What is it? I agree not making sense.

[Kid Fury]

I don't know them, so I'm not going to make any assumptions about anything. But I agree. It gets to a point where you just go ahead and hit medium.com upbeach or whatever and just go and write your essay. Subscribe, stack.

[Crissle West]

Right?

[Kid Fury]

Cuz all of this random shenanigans, laughing emojis. I'm like, oh, she must be dating, like, Colin P. Like, she must be like, this must be. And you know, Gloria, hallelujah.

[Crissle West]

Not acting.

[Audience Member 2]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

So the girls are saying that this Ice Spice McDonald's thing is a stunt.

[Crissle West]

A stunt?

[Kid Fury]

Stunt, Stunt. Like publicity stunt. Because she has a new deal with Wendy's.

[Crissle West]

Wait, it took me a minute.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crissle West]

I'm like, why the. Would you. Oh is the. But I probably would not have. I think I would have came up with a better idea than that to promote a Junior Bacon cheeseburger. Like, I think I would've. Why would I have some bitch walk up on me and then smack me across the table and be like, hey, y', all, Junior Frost only 99 cents at participating Wendy's. Like, why would I do that, girl?

[Kid Fury]

I feel stupid. When Cheetos called Meg for them dill pickles. Them dill pickle chicken. They had Nickelback in a commercial and shot Avengers Endgame. Why would I get jumped at McDonald's to sell you a chicken sandwich?

[Crissle West]

Right? It's really not making sense. I don't think so. Who said that? Not Ice Spice.

[Kid Fury]

No, of course not. Just the Internet. Because she. Afterwards, I think maybe she worked at a Wendy's at one point before she was famous. But she also said afterwards, like, she posted a clip from the fight and said, this would have never happened at Wendy's. Like, that was a joke.

[Crissle West]

Oh, that's funny. I mean, but also, yes, the fuck it would have, bitch. It just depend on which Wendy's.

[Kid Fury]

Thank you.

[Crissle West]

That's only. I thought of one where you was like, yeah, actually, at that location, you will get your ass beat.

[Kid Fury]

So here goes. Wendy's tweet.

[Crissle West]

Wendy's tweet. This would happen at Wendy's. Oh, with a chain.

[Kid Fury]

So it's Ice Spice titties and she has a chain that says Ice Spicy.

[Crissle West]

All right, that's. They're trying. No, that's whack. Nobody who works at Wendy's can afford that fucking chain. That's not happening at Wendy's. I. I did see paparazzi pictures of her, though, walking on the street in New York with security. And I said, yeah, well, I guess it only take One time. It really only take one time for you to be like, you know what? Let me hire a big nigga to walk around with me. Cause yeah, not doing that shit again.

[Kid Fury]

You should have. You should have been PC'd when you were in California. Yeah, you should have had the armed guards when you was out in the city you. You not from.

[Crissle West]

Right. But you know, I guess the girls have to learn.

[Kid Fury]

But yeah, saying that it was a publicity stunt, that a random bitch smacked me in my face at McDonald's because I want to sell a burger is. God. Can women just walk outside and open their eyes without.

[Crissle West]

But Wendy's posting about her. Don't mean she got a deal. That's just. All right. Niggas just be saying shit.

[Kid Fury]

You're so right. This could just be them.

[Crissle West]

Wendy's post all kind of shit.

[Kid Fury]

It's an internal.

[Crissle West]

I doubt it. But whoever it is, they just be coming up with shit. They want likes, they just like everybody else.

[Kid Fury]

Did you see this video of Snoop Dogg performing with a child up on stage while it was a stripper in a bat? Don't worry, I'll catch you up.

[Crissle West]

Okay, immediately, I don't like this.

[Kid Fury]

So one Snoop Doggy Dog was performing on Monday, April 20, at Red Rock's Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado. Couldn't point to it, of course, because Snoop Dogg is Snoop Dogg. Even though this thing is, what, 82? He had a stripper in the bag on one of them little portable stripper poles. And then at some point, and I mean, this lady is getting her money, she's working out, and I support the Naked Hustle. Yeah. So what the issue was is that Snoop Dogg allowed a young girl who looked like all of five. Yeah.

[Crissle West]

No, no.

[Kid Fury]

Up on this stage to dance alongside him with the stripper bitch in the background.

[Crissle West]

So even without the stripper. Why is a 5 year old girl on stage with Snoop?

[Kid Fury]

Why is a 5 year old girl on stage with Snoop?

[Crissle West]

Why is he got like some Gracie's Corner songs? He got some songs for little young niggas.

[Kid Fury]

He does, doesn't he? Yeah.

[Crissle West]

So was she doing. Was she performing?

[Kid Fury]

Hell no. With a stripper in the back?

[Crissle West]

That's what I'm saying. Was it age appropriate at all? Hell no.

[Kid Fury]

There was a stripper on stage.

[Crissle West]

I mean, you might have just had, you know, stripper could get down anything really. You could. On Trapped Bluey or something. She like, I can make some shit work, but I seen it. You know, Snoop not really in his right mind. That nigga been gone.

[Kid Fury]

He lost I'm not giving this bitch that excuse. How dare you. No, listen. He said under fire. Oh is the blackest thumb down emoji. Her father let her get on stage, then it's a lighter skin, thumbs up.

[Crissle West]

Was the daddy light skinned?

[Kid Fury]

Why did he do that?

[Crissle West]

Okay, that just mean her daddy need his ass beat too.

[Kid Fury]

So she was dancing all night. I let a fan have fun. Her parents were there. Sorry, try again. Carry on Dementia.

[Crissle West]

Does nobody think about how shit looks?

[Kid Fury]

No.

[Crissle West]

Is there nobody associated with you? I mean through the whole planning of this event backstage in the green room, nobody said, you know what we probably ought not do? Have kindergarteners on stage while hoes is popping as Snoop is rapping about bitches and weed.

[Kid Fury]

I don't want no 5 year olds here like a Snoop Dogg concert. Furthermore. Oh, her parents were there. Let me tell you something. If I'm Snoop Dogg or whatever, I got some only fans in the background. They pussy pop or whatever. And you're like, oh, here's my infant. Can they come up on the stage? No, but thank you for coming. Would you like some ear things, right?

[Crissle West]

And you should draw some, right? Some earplugs or something for your damn baby. Because why is he even here? All that tells me is that a lot of people make bad decisions when it comes to their kids.

[Kid Fury]

Yep.

[Crissle West]

Because a Snoop Dogg concert on 420 in Colorado is the last fucking place I would bring a five year old.

[Kid Fury]

That's why she wanted to dance. She had a contact high, right?

[Crissle West]

That baby was high as shit.

[Kid Fury]

Sky sky zone. What is wrong with these niggas?

[Crissle West]

You can't wanna go somewhere that bad. You know, you a parent, sometimes you gotta miss out. I'm so sorry. Sometimes you can't find a babysitter, you just gotta stay home. I'm so sorry, bitch, this is not the place for your damn baby.

[Kid Fury]

Cause you thought babies were cute, but you didn't think, oh, these niggas will become toddlers and they will also listen to Key Glock because I do. And then I'm down to the concert and this bitch wanna come too. And then also C walk on stage.

[Crissle West]

No right. Talking about she wanted to come. Cause you asked her. Cause you gave her the option and

[Kid Fury]

then you agreed that she made.

[Crissle West]

If you don't take that baby by her meemaw house, auntie, uncle, somebody, somebody, or stay your ass at home.

[Kid Fury]

We have to come up with like a unkty app where I mean not us, but like, you know, spiritual uncles and aunties out there that are willing to Just babysit and stuff like that. You could be like, oh, I'm gonna go. All right, well, fuck y' all too. Shit. I'm trying. This is why I ain't got no goddamn Jason. I will not never attempt. This is y' all problem, right, baby? Probably at home eating wood chips at the moment.

[Crissle West]

I won't even find a babysitter for Laney on an app. I'm for damn sure not getting one for my human child. I'm not doing it,

[Kid Fury]

child. These children in Toronto trying to sell the drake ice for $6,000 a piece of ice?

[Crissle West]

Yeah, the frozen water.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Crissle West]

For $6,000.

[Kid Fury]

Look, them just said I'm leaving here with something.

[Crissle West]

No, you not. Cause ain't Nobody finna pay $6,000 for frozen Drake. Didn't even touch it. It's not even.

[Kid Fury]

They will. The check is probably cashed. Listen, come on. Drake is a pop star of a magnitude that. Yes, I believe that it will not even be difficult for them to sell this chunk of ice, however big or small. And I can't wait for the TikTok of the bitch who spent six bands.

[Crissle West]

No.

[Kid Fury]

On a soaking wet cardboard box. How is ebay gonna ship ice?

[Crissle West]

I mean, with dry ice? Like, you gonna pay $300 to ship a piece of ice that you can't even certify came from this installation. And for what? Again, like, I'm not. I'm really not understanding how they know

[Kid Fury]

they didn't just get the ice from the grocery store.

[Crissle West]

Right. Or your own. Like, you. Anybody could just be like, oh, yeah, this the ice from Drake. Like, okay, niggas just be saying shit. And I understand times are hard. Y' all trying to make your money, but this is very stupid, girl.

[Kid Fury]

Iceman Ice block carved by Instagram name. These children are so dead serious. He wants you to know. Oh, yes, me, my blowtorch, and all these acrylics, we pulled this chunk of ice out, and you may buy it for $6,000.

[Crissle West]

I mean, I know it's a lot of dumbass people in this world, but I just cannot see nobody actually paying that. I could see you as a fan taking it home and, like, wrapping it up all special and putting it in the far corner of the freezer, hoping don't nobody ever touch it. But Nobody is spending $6,000 on this, right?

[Kid Fury]

And so then you buy the. You buy the Drake ice, and then you put it in your deep freezer, and then, like, have the other ovos come over and be like,

[Crissle West]

I mean, again, this is not Even ice that Dr. Drake had anything to do with, like, it wasn't in his cup. You didn't take it from like his green room backstage or nothing. This is okay. Y' all just be coming up with shit.

[Kid Fury]

I'm just praying for the children.

[Crissle West]

That's it.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, so let. I want to read Chris Brown's reaction to our latest episode of the Read.

[Crissle West]

So.

[Kid Fury]

I'm joking. I'm kidding.

[Crissle West]

Okay. Cause all of us was gooped and gagged. Like, what?

[Kid Fury]

Wouldn't I be kind?

[Crissle West]

Me too, y'.

[Kid Fury]

All.

[Crissle West]

I said the same thing, girl.

[Kid Fury]

I would have started with that child, please. No, but I'm joking that he must listen to the podcast because he has reacted to people with a sentiment such as the young person who wrote in and said, my millennial mama want us to buy tickets to the Bumps and Bruises concert. And we said, hell no. So Bumps and Bruises has been receiving a lot of criticism for obvious reasons. And if it's one thing Christopher Maurice Brown can't stand, it's criticism.

[Crissle West]

Oh Lord.

[Kid Fury]

Here's his Instagram story message.

[Crissle West]

Oh God.

[Kid Fury]

The funniest and weirdest shit ever to me is the fact that people, oh popal. Have the option to come to my tour and the option not to. Amazing. Yep. That's how life works. I know everyone who is a fan of me and Usher will definitely be in the building and it will be all caps packed just like last year. But I'm scrolling through the insta and TikTok and I come across rage bait pages and or these fake woke stand up for nothing pages bashing people for wanted to come have a good time. Yeah, self awareness is not in the room. The dudes hating. I can understand that thinking we gonna steal your girl and shit, bitch.

[Crissle West]

Oh my God.

[Kid Fury]

But the Karens and the self hating hoes be making me laugh. I can't wait to rub this shit in y' all face. Mama, you are tip tapping on the door 40. You got about six kids. What's a giving?

[Crissle West]

What are you talking about? We the self hating hoes, not the bitches spending they hard earned money to go see niggas that would beat they ass or give them a STI without thinking twice about it. I'm the one self hating and they're

[Kid Fury]

in the comments like don't worry, we will be in the building, King. Like who you trying to floss for? Both of y' all hoes look crazy. Each and every one of y' all hoes look wild, right?

[Crissle West]

Chris would hold up a paper bag and tell all you bitches to turn around and go back from whence you came. Take your black ass back to your seat because who the fuck do you think you are? And you tripping over yourself. And he's. You know, most of that statement is actually correct. The show will be packed the way it has been before and people do have the option to go or to not. So while you are letting people that you describe as rage baiting bait you into rage, what's not clicking, Christopher? Like, you're right. You're going to make your money. It's gonna be plenty of hoes.

[Kid Fury]

No one doubted that, right?

[Crissle West]

So what are you so upset about? You know,

[Kid Fury]

I think back to, what was it, 2009. And I remember most of us going, sweet cheeks, this is a forever thing. Like for the rest of your living and dead days, we are going to talk about this tough. And all he has done since then is be more women asses and bicker and then get mad that people are like, well, fuck him in a boat that he plans on sailing by on. Because we're not supporting abusers. Self hating.

[Crissle West]

It's really not. I'm struggling to make sense of it.

[Kid Fury]

No, we hate you. And then you gonna bring Usher in it. Like he ain't also getting red babies. Could have went on tour by himself and they would have called it Usher presents the Bumps Experience or whatever.

[Crissle West]

Like, right.

[Kid Fury]

Neither one of y' all really in good PR standing with a fuck person.

[Crissle West]

That is true. So I just. Okay, okay, so we're the problem. That's what I'm hearing. And that Christopher somehow expects for people to just not talk about how much they don't like him. Like, do you really? You've been famous for 15 years or so now and you still have the expectation that people don't like you. Not gonna run they fucking mouth. You know how barely famous you have to be for people to talk about how much they don't like you. Bitches who are only famous online get talked about. You think you not gonna get talked about. Like, expectations are off because we're dragging

[Kid Fury]

Amanda at this summer house reunion. See, you don't even know who the fuck I'm talking about. They are dog walking this white woman. So, Chris Brown, what the fuck time you think this is? What? I yelled that lady her name out. It was like two women right here knew what I was talking about. White woman completely friends with this gorgeous black girl named Ciara. Right? Okay, like beautiful black girl. For whatever reason she was dating this white man.

[Crissle West]

Fun.

[Kid Fury]

Cool. No, not that one.

[Crissle West]

Oh, Summer House. But it's like Love Island.

[Kid Fury]

Sure.

[Crissle West]

I mean it's not okay, hot people

[Kid Fury]

in a house together fucking on each other. But it's not a dating show. It's all the same. It's not a dating show. It's like, oh, we share this timeshare or whatever. Okay, Beautiful black girl been tried on this program. Okay, white woman named Amanda who just ain't even divorced yet to a man that she married that this woman Ciara and every other woman around her was saying maybe don't marry this bitch because he sucks and you're miserable and you just threw all of his shit out on the front porch because he was slithered off a Jagermeister and didn't come in the house until 6:30am Maybe don't marry him, bitch. And then you ain't even divorced yet. And now you stole Ciara. Like not even stole. She's secretly behind Ciara's back, been dating her ex. This is supposed to be her best friend. And I.

[Crissle West]

No.

[Kid Fury]

Best friend.

[Crissle West]

Best friend.

[Kid Fury]

Yes, yes.

[Crissle West]

Best friend. Best friend in the house.

[Kid Fury]

Best friend in the house. I would like. Okay, I believe they're actually, they really are friends, but I wouldn't say they're best friends in real life. In real life.

[Audience Member 2]

I don't buy it.

[Crissle West]

They're friends in real life too. She, she said that enthusiastically. Bitch. Like this.

[Kid Fury]

I've always want Sierra and Maya to be genuinely close. Either way, Amanda played a game, has not taken any accountability for disrespecting her best friend. And you know what Bravo is trying to do? Spread around this. Oh, her mental health because they're dragging her. All right, girl, fuck you and fuck Wes west, whatever the fuck his name is. And ho. Good luck to you and lover boy or whatever that wack ass sparkling water business is.

[Crissle West]

Bitch.

[Kid Fury]

Both. You're a flop. Kyle's a drunk. Flop. Wes is a country flop.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, I don't want to hear it about your mental health. When your mental health is bad because people are rightfully chewing your ass up because you did something fucked up. Don't tell me about Russell Simmons mental health, bitch. I don't care. He deserves it.

[Kid Fury]

If you want to go into an even deeper Bravo rabbit hole, why nobody say nothing about Ruth or whatever the fuck that girl name is. That fuck Tom Sandoval. What? Rachel Robinson? Raquel, whatever it was our name.

[Crissle West]

You are too deep, Scandal.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, well let's go back to Love Island. The host of Love Island, Ariana Mattis.

[Crissle West]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

She got that job because white women were like not again. Tom Sandoval was her boyfriend of many, many years on Vanderpump Rules. He had a whole relationship with Ariana's best friend on the show.

[Crissle West]

Oh, okay. So this is like Summer House.

[Kid Fury]

Very much like it. But the difference is one, nobody worried about that skeezer is mental health because the one on the other side, blonde white woman.

[Crissle West]

Oh.

[Kid Fury]

Next thing you know, the bitch is on ABC sitcoms and hosting Love island for the fuck. What? What do you know about love? You failed.

[Audience Member]

No.

[Kid Fury]

Why are you here? You should be a contestant, bitch.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, I feel like her job is to just be pretty. Like she just supposed to be pretty and that's it. But okay. Wow. What else do you know about white people?

[Kid Fury]

Let me think.

[Crissle West]

This is so much notch. Raise your hand. Now. Somebody brought their white boyfriend. He was like, I do have some things to share.

[Kid Fury]

I think that's enough for the hot top section of the show. We talking about white women on Bravo. You ain't ever heard of Summer House? Look up that Sierra Miller shit. How dare they disrespect this black queen.

[Crissle West]

It is anti black and I don't even know what happened, but it is

Okay, so it's time for some audience letter.

[Crissle West]

Oh, Lordy.

[Kid Fury]

Listener question. Listeners live. I believe there's.

[Crissle West]

Let's segue into the audience questions. If anyone has a question to ask us. I believe we have a microphone set up right over here in this aisle. Not take it down.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, look at that.

[Audience Member]

Oh.

[Crissle West]

And a spotlight. Oh. Amen. Thank you. Somebody got to be brave, because y' all know this is part of the show. Hello. Hi.

[Audience Member]

It's so.

[Kid Fury]

Hi, lovely.

[Crissle West]

Oh, my gosh. What's your name?

[Audience Member]

Hi. It's so good to meet y'.

[Crissle West]

All.

[Audience Member]

My sister told me about y' all when I was a freshman in college. Now I'm almost 30, and y' all have literally shaped my 20s.

[Crissle West]

Oh, my God. I love that. Thank you, baby. I love being old.

[Kid Fury]

The first one,

[Audience Member]

I didn't. I meant it in a positive way.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, y' all always do. We know.

[Audience Member]

Okay, so I'm debating. I'm celebrating my 29 and a half birthday and.

[Crissle West]

Yep. Cause why not?

[Audience Member]

And I've been debating whether to invite my brother because he's kind of a hoe, unfortunately.

[Crissle West]

Invite him, girl. Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Many brothers are.

[Audience Member]

But, like, it seems like he has chosen to exclusively mess with my friends.

[Crissle West]

Raggedy.

[Audience Member]

Other than his girlfriend that's in Kenya.

[Crissle West]

So he has a girlfriend, but he has slept with how many of your friends?

[Audience Member]

He's only fingered one. And the rest.

[Kid Fury]

All right, well,

[Audience Member]

Girl.

[Crissle West]

Oh, Lord. Okay. And. And how old is your brother?

[Audience Member]

He's 19. 90. 20. No, he's. He's 28.

[Crissle West]

28. Okay. So you trying to have, like, a sleepover party. You trying to rent, like, an Airbnb and have everybody come over and spend

[Audience Member]

a night that's definitely not spent the night. It's just like, a get together. But the thing is, like, whenever I link up with my friends is when I find out that he's hooked up with so and so. It's never, like, he's never telling me.

[Kid Fury]

Of course not.

[Crissle West]

Because then you would stop bringing him around.

[Kid Fury]

But he's exclusively. You feel like fucking with your friends.

[Audience Member]

Like, he will talk to girls at the club, but in Terms of actually, like, pursuing, you know, longer term stuff. It's always with my friends.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Audience Member]

Around our friend group. Group a lot. Like, I've adopted him into my friend group.

[Crissle West]

Why?

[Audience Member]

It was before he was in that phase, right? Yeah.

[Crissle West]

But now that he's in it, why. Why would you invite him is my question.

[Audience Member]

Sure. Say less,

[Kid Fury]

She said, period.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. Don't bring your brother. Unless you want one of your friends to be the mother of your niece or nephew. Leave his ass at home.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, yeah, yeah, I agree. Leave him at home. It's not helping the, you know, niggas don't have friends debate at all.

[Crissle West]

That's not your problem.

[Kid Fury]

But it's definitely not your problem. Right.

[Audience Member]

And then. Okay. So I was just kind of going to have my party anyways and let him find out. But I did get. My man told me I should at least talk to him and tell him why he's not invited. I wasn't going to.

[Crissle West]

Yo, what do your man know, though?

[Audience Member]

For real, I don't want him to catch it straight. But I was like, okay, maybe I should communicate to my brother, like, why he's not invited. But I don't know if it'll help.

[Kid Fury]

Why?

[Crissle West]

I mean, you can, but I don't see what difference, right? You not coming regardless of the reason. So. Okay, I. I mean, I. I mean,

[Kid Fury]

shout out to your man for trying to, you know, be positive man fancies or whatever, but you don't owe the nigga shit. It's your birthday. Do what you want, right?

[Crissle West]

A girl only turns 29 and a half. Once.

[Kid Fury]

Once. One time. Just once. Nice meeting you. Lovely.

[Crissle West]

All right. Thank you, baby. Happy birthday. Ish.

[Audience Member]

Oh, my gosh. Very similar to her. I turned 30. 30 in like two weeks.

[Crissle West]

Wow.

[Kid Fury]

Congratulations.

[Audience Member]

Early. It's May 14th. I'm a tourist. I'm 14. Okay.

[Crissle West]

Hi, y'. All. Hey.

[Audience Member]

So first off, I've been listening to the reasons I was in college and.

[Kid Fury]

And now you're 40.

[Audience Member]

I also was a skater in a commercial for y', all. So that was.

[Crissle West]

Oh, wow. Nice.

[Audience Member]

It was a merch commercial, right? It was at. It was at Sparkle.

[Kid Fury]

Oh. I was like, we need a commercial.

[Crissle West]

Right?

[Audience Member]

So, Krystal, I'm sure you are tired of talking about Cardi B, but I'm not.

[Crissle West]

I love it.

[Audience Member]

But my question for you. So when you had kind of addressed everybody about the rants and all, you had said that you had learned stuff in when you were in school for psychology about child development, and I was just really curious to know what was it about child development that you learned, learned that made you kind of like be like, I don't like this at all.

[Crissle West]

Well, it was. I mean, if you want like studies, I can, when I get back to my computer, I can pull up some links for you.

[Audience Member]

I'm a nerd. I love that.

[Crissle West]

Okay, well, I can do that. But to not turn this into a lecture. There was one class in particular, it was actually the entire degree program. But there's a class you take in like your first semester called life stage development. And every week you. Okay, somebody else is taking it. Oh, the girls know. And so every week you go over a different stage of life development. It's self explanatory, but you learn about how children's attachment and the foundation for their mental health, their well being, their self regard, all of this stuff is really foundational and is formed at a pretty young age. And being exposed to people who cannot do the things that children need to do in order to grow up healthily means that they will be struggling with those same things. So, like if your father, for example, gets frustrated every time something doesn't go his way and he starts slamming cabinets and walking around being moody and making his problem, everybody else's problem, problem, you as the child in the home end up. Well, you could, you could take that a few different ways. But a lot of people learn to start like people pleasing. And that's where that starts, where it's like you trying to figure out what's going on with everybody and make sure everybody's good and even if they don't want to talk about it, you going above and beyond trying to blah, blah, blah, that sort of thing. Or you learn that that's how you deal with anger or frustration or whatever else. So you start treating other people like that. And then as you grow older, you don't get out of that because nobody's modeling it for you. That's the thing. You can say whatever you want to say to your kids, but they see what you do, they hear what you say, but they see what you do. And parents are a child's first and most foundational teachers. And so, I mean, again, if you want to read research, if y' all actually want to read the research, I'm happy to share it, but I'm a

[Audience Member]

public health journalist, so I literally.

[Crissle West]

So you knew the answer to this?

[Audience Member]

I did not know the answer. No, just a journalist. I didn't go to school.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, well, I talk about the importance of being emotionally mature when you have children because the way you act will influence the way they act. And you just take a look around at the dating pool, for example, which everybody is fucking over. And we're all constantly bitching about how dating is terrible. That's because these people have been raised by people who half assed it or didn't know what they were doing or hadn't addressed their own fucking issues. And they bled that out onto their kids. And that's why the people who go to therapy or who do the inner work are called cycle breakers. Because you're literally breaking that cycle. It will continue to perpetuate until somebody steps in and says, enough, easy fucking enough. So that's why I think it matters who you choose to reproduce with. Now, y' all may not agree, but I'm not backing down on that.

[Audience Member]

Thank you.

[Crissle West]

You welcome, public health journalist asking me something you already knew. Hello.

[Kid Fury]

Hello, Hello. Hello.

[Audience Member 2]

All right, so it's funny, like, so right now the person I'm about to ask questions about is like texting me or calling me.

[Crissle West]

All right, so love that.

[Audience Member 2]

I think. All right, so no, the story is she's sitting outside because cuz. All right, I don't not.

[Crissle West]

Y' all shocked he said she.

[Audience Member 2]

No, I don't. No, no, that's so the story.

[Crissle West]

Y' all ain't. Y' all are not.

[Kid Fury]

Make me a bird.

[Crissle West]

We trying to hear the story, y', all, please.

[Audience Member 2]

So the story is, is that I don't like my sister's dusty ass partner.

[Crissle West]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Audience Member 2]

So my sister's dusty as partner. They are trans, non, binary. And so she tends to think that, like, you know, I understand the plight and it's a difficult time for people who are gender questioning and all those things right now.

[Crissle West]

Right.

[Audience Member 2]

However, I don't think that excludes you from being a horrible person.

[Kid Fury]

Damn sure don't.

[Audience Member 2]

And so that person had a tendency to. I. I call it abusive. They have to. If there's, if it's something that's not about them, they have to make it about them. Which is the reason why, like, me and my friends are here. I bought the ticket for her. She didn't make it. You can kind of get where I'm going right now.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Audience Member 2]

Okay, so, but my question becomes we've had these conversations. I tend to be. I struggle with being too overly forward with my opinions, but I've learned to let adults be adults. But when she comes to me when things happen and acts like nothing happened, and I'm supposed to act like nothing happened, I struggle with what do I do with that situation. Because I did see what I saw.

[Crissle West]

Right.

[Audience Member 2]

And I know what happened. However, you're acting like nothing happened, even though just a couple hours ago a bunch of shit happened.

[Crissle West]

So when you say a bunch of shit, do you mean like verbal abuse, physical abuse, financial abuse? Like, can you give me an example of something the partner does?

[Audience Member 2]

Okay, so I've never seen verbal or physical abuse.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Audience Member 2]

However, like, for example, we had a get together at our house yesterday, and if there's a situation where she's not the focus, what they're not the focus. They will find some kind of issue to make it awkward intentions when there's nothing there. And I see it because, like, me and my sister are very close and I'm supposed to. And then, you know, after it's all said and done, I saw her today, my sister today, and she act like nothing happened.

[Crissle West]

Right.

[Audience Member 2]

And I'm supposed to be cool and that person comes around me and, and for the most part, I keep it cordial. However, I find it very difficult, right,

[Kid Fury]

when they, when they have these outbursts or, you know, selfish moments. What does, does it switch the energy? Does it create tension? Can you feel like your, your sister is, the mood shifts when this happens?

[Audience Member 2]

Absolutely. I can tell that she cannot be herself around this person.

[Kid Fury]

Got it.

[Audience Member 2]

But, and that person, like, I, I, I feel like there is some resentment towards me because when she's around me, she can be herself. And

[Crissle West]

well, so is a lot of

[Kid Fury]

people, I feel, I mean, a lot of. So the question is sort of like what to do with the complication of being protective and witnessing these things and then also being left with like, no one's really acknowledging this. And I'm.

[Audience Member 2]

No, the question more is, is because again, I've gotten to the point where I've done the work where I can allow adults to be adults, but when I'm faced with a situation, we're gonna act like nothing happened. And I'm expected to act like nothing happened.

[Crissle West]

So that's exactly where you stop.

[Kid Fury]

Right?

[Audience Member 2]

Okay.

[Crissle West]

Like you can live in your own delusions where you pretend that this person's behavior isn't trash and a mess and that they don't need to grow the fuck up. But I'm not gonna do it. I'm gonna talk about it. We don't have to drag it on forever. But I'm not just gonna come and meet up with you and we, we gonna act like that person didn't come in the house the other day and throw a fucking tantrum and make the whole moment about them. Like I'm just not gonna act like that didn't happen. I'm not pushing you out of my life. I'm not saying that we can't hang out or nothing like that, but if we can't even be honest about what's actually going on, like, I'm not gonna sit here and help perpetuate the lie in your mind that everything is okay.

[Kid Fury]

Right.

[Crissle West]

It's not okay for. It's not okay for your partner to act like this again. I'm not trying to isolate you because that sounds like it could turn into an abusive situation quickly.

[Audience Member 2]

Yeah.

[Crissle West]

But I am going to acknowledge, like, yo did something up and that had. And it has an effect on me. I'm not gonna pretend like it doesn't bother me. Like, it is upsetting me.

[Audience Member 2]

It does.

[Crissle West]

And so. Right. Of course it does. And so your. Your sister may have to really sit with, like, what is she willing to put up with for the sake of this relationship, But I definitely think that you should make your feelings clear. Like, I would not be going along with it. Like, did nothing happen? Especially not after all this therapy. I'm not doing that.

[Audience Member 2]

Oh, it's lovely. Thank you.

[Audience Member]

Amen.

[Crissle West]

Woo. All right, who's next?

[Audience Member]

How y' all doing?

[Kid Fury]

Great. How are you?

[Audience Member]

First of all, I love y'. All. I'm good. Just a quick question. This is mainly for Kid Fury.

[Crissle West]

Crystal, I know you probably to want wouldn't go anywhere near this. That's fine.

[Audience Member]

Have you watched the show from.

[Crissle West]

And if so, what do you think about it?

[Kid Fury]

I'm still in season three, so no spoilers.

[Audience Member]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

No, I think I randomly. I must have been watching something scary on Amazon and then it just popped up in, like, users might also, like. Or whatever. And I saw. God, I can't remember his name. I saw the lead in the. Yes. I saw him in the graphic and I was like, oh, excellent. I'll look at this. I was not prepared for how good that show is. It's. It's Horror Lost, basically. I don't understand how I'm so deep into the show so far and I still don't know what the fuck is going on. It's just scary as shit. Confusing as shit. Everybody fucked up. I love it and I'm glad that this is supposed to be. It's supposed to be the last season. Wrap it up.

[Crissle West]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

When it has an end. Yeah.

[Crissle West]

Thank you. That's all I wanted to know. I want to hear you talk about it. I know you love horror.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, thank you. Yeah, it's good I love that show. We.

[Crissle West]

We love that dressed, period. A fit.

[Kid Fury]

Yes.

[Crissle West]

Flavor Flav.

[Kid Fury]

Who? Habari ghani.

[Crissle West]

What's the. Oh, yes. Habarigani, my nigga. Hey, all right. It's Quanza in this hoe.

[Kid Fury]

Two quick things. Number one, congratulations and salutations on you impacting niggas lives for 13 years.

[Crissle West]

Hey, thank you. Thank you, brother.

[Kid Fury]

And allowing us to evolve into our final nigga Pokemon form period. Second thing is, so we all know that Beyonce expertly covered Jolene on Cowboy Carter at three. What's one rock cover rock song that you would like to hear be covered? And if I may, a two parter. What's your favorite unreleased Beyonce record?

[Crissle West]

Favorite unreleased Creole. When I Look Real Good. That's real Hive. They don't know that.

[Kid Fury]

Maybe. Let's go crazy Prince.

[Crissle West]

I'm trying to think of a rock song.

[Kid Fury]

Big Torn

[Crissle West]

Smells Like Teen Spirit.

[Kid Fury]

Did you try, like, girl?

[Crissle West]

I did try. I don't really know rock music that well, but also the Lulu Hive. Y' all are doing a lot.

[Kid Fury]

Tina Turner has rock records. Shaka has a rock record or two.

[Crissle West]

Oh, but I. But I wouldn't expect. Expect her to cover a black person's rock music. I don't know why that's, like. That wasn't my first thought.

[Kid Fury]

You could put James. Jimi Hendrix. You could put Jimi Hendrix in there. There's, like a lot of.

[Crissle West]

Right. But I. I would. I could see her more of sampling or bringing those songs into a new song than covering them.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crissle West]

You know, Jolene is a white woman song. So I just was. That was just my first thought that she would take, like, white rock and do something better with it.

[Kid Fury]

Anything by Paramore.

[Crissle West]

Oh, yeah. Paramore. But ain't that girl biracial?

[Kid Fury]

Beyonce would eat Misery business. She would.

[Crissle West]

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

[Kid Fury]

Not everything. I don't know what Spee Dobson's debut record called.

[Crissle West]

Take it away.

[Kid Fury]

There you go. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank

[Crissle West]

you, thank you, thank you, brother.

[Kid Fury]

They still think that's gonna be a

[Crissle West]

Destiny's Child album to you as well, huh?

[Kid Fury]

They still think that's gonna be a Destiny's Childhood.

[Crissle West]

The Lulu Hive has convinced themselves of some real shit every day.

[Kid Fury]

Dressed.

[Crissle West]

Oh, look. Oh, another fit. Hey. Hello, Hello.

[Audience Member]

Hi, guys. So I got a couple of things I'm gonna go through real quick. First off, y', all, can we give them some noise for coming back to Atlanta?

[Crissle West]

Oh, work.

[Audience Member]

I had to put a little pressure on y'. All. Cause I. I'm an OG fan, and, like, I love 13 years, but y' all gotta come back a little bit more. We love y'. All.

[Crissle West]

Okay, we literally here right now.

[Audience Member]

I know.

[Crissle West]

So look, she said, but again.

[Audience Member]

But again.

[Kid Fury]

No, I get it.

[Audience Member]

So my second thing. Okay, so I'm clearly an extrovert, but I have a friend here that's with me that's an introvert. She's from Florida, so I'm not gonna say her name, but can my friend stand up? Girl, you gotta stand up. Come on, friend.

[Crissle West]

You asked the introvert making your introvert friend stand up.

[Kid Fury]

Diabolical.

[Crissle West]

She's over there. Do not like this girl.

[Audience Member]

Okay, she over there.

[Crissle West]

She doing like this.

[Audience Member]

She's over there. But she's a big fan that's taking some great advice from you guys. And so I told her. I was like, if I get up here, girl, she already texted me right now. I know you fucking lying. You're not lying right now. So my other thing just to kind of wrap it up and big shout out to Y' all for 13 years is as you guys go through our stories, I gotta know, what's your favorite? I'm a little biased because Smell and taste.

[Crissle West]

Oh, God. The fact that still comes up.

[Audience Member]

Did it kick in a smell and taste. So question for y'. All. Oh, okay. Wait, my back. I like your purse, though. So question y'. All.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Audience Member]

What's your favorite, favorite fan story?

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, I love the one where the nigga said it was a compilation. He was watching.

[Crissle West]

Oh, my God.

[Kid Fury]

He was watching his ex girlfriend's porn. His new girl found out, and he was like, oh, she just came up in a car. Compilation?

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

You didn't even think that through. Get out my house.

[Crissle West]

That was a good one. Smell and taste is also a classic.

[Audience Member]

Which one?

[Crissle West]

Headphones.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, the candle one.

[Crissle West]

Oh. Oh, candle. Oh, you know what?

[Kid Fury]

I stand by my. My perspective.

[Crissle West]

Candlegate is my favorite of all time because y' all were pissed.

[Kid Fury]

It was. It was a two parter.

[Crissle West]

It was a two part. We've never had a two part moment in that way.

[Kid Fury]

That might be the best one.

[Crissle West]

And y' all were split 50, 50 on. You were wiling. And don't buy my man no candle like y' all were. To this day, people still bring that up.

[Kid Fury]

And there's not many letters that we've had where we have been on completely opposite sides. It's just like, I don't agree. That was fierce.

[Crissle West]

The girls were irate.

[Kid Fury]

I still want to know, where did you come from? Where you come from? I came out of nowhere. It's okay, boy. This is my friend here, but I know each other. You know him. That's what you get for having a dead boyfriend. I want an update.

[Crissle West]

Oh, yes, the one where. Where the girl talks.

[Kid Fury]

Beautiful pants. Lovely pants.

[Crissle West]

Lovely pants. He really just got up and got on the mic.

[Kid Fury]

He sure did, y'.

[Crissle West]

All.

[Audience Member]

It was like. It was like, what's that? What's the scene with Ray J where? It's like, every scene, the, like, the hat was changing. So I know if, like, you cut here, I was like, oh, hey, friend, I like your pants.

[Crissle West]

Yes.

[Audience Member]

But let me respect that.

[Crissle West]

That was a good one, though.

[Audience Member]

Yes, y', all welcome back to Atlanta and happy 13 years.

[Crissle West]

Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you.

[Kid Fury]

And thank you, introvert friend, wherever you you are, for bearing that.

[Crissle West]

This is why introverts don't like being friends with extroverts. She gonna cut you out in a whisper when. When you get back to your seat. Hi.

[Audience Member]

Hi. Hi. I love y' all so much. I've listened to every single episode ever.

[Crissle West]

Oh, wow.

[Audience Member]

I wait for this show every single week.

[Crissle West]

But thank you, babe. I don't have a lot of drama

[Audience Member]

in my life, but I did want to ask a question. Crystal, I love you so much. Thank you, beautiful.

[Crissle West]

Thank you.

[Audience Member]

But I. For Old Town taste, I wanted to know if Kid Fury could give us an acronym.

[Kid Fury]

Holy. I haven't done that in a long ass time.

[Crissle West]

The way I don't even know what you're talking about. You remember when I used to do

[Kid Fury]

acronyms at the end of the episodes? This is like the first two years or something.

[Audience Member]

Yeah. Every week we begin acronym.

[Crissle West]

You don't remember that? No.

[Audience Member]

For years we would get acronym.

[Kid Fury]

For years it was like every week for maybe the first few years, I would.

[Crissle West]

You know what I remember? You guessed it, it. That's what I remember. Cuz that actually hurt. And the way y' all kept cheering for that.

[Audience Member]

It was great.

[Crissle West]

It was great. It literally was painful to me.

[Audience Member]

It was.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, I got it. I got it. L, N, F, E. Light skinned, flopping everywhere.

[Crissle West]

Well, thank you so much.

[Audience Member]

I love y'. All.

[Kid Fury]

Love you too.

[Crissle West]

Real throwback.

[Kid Fury]

Light skin's down bad. Hi.

[Crissle West]

Hi. So my name is April.

[Audience Member]

Hey, y'.

[Crissle West]

All. Hey, April.

[Kid Fury]

Great name with a Y.

[Crissle West]

Anyway, okay, so every time y' all get hyped about an album or a TV show or a movie, like, most of the time I don't see it until later. And so, like, I really, really, really tried with the Steven Universe thing and it's just like I think it's because I don't smoke.

[Kid Fury]

No, I don't.

[Crissle West]

No, that ain't it. I'm gonna try again, though. I promise. Oh, baby, the audience is not on your side. I didn't say it was bad. I just said I. You couldn't.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, yeah, No, I get it.

[Crissle West]

That's fair. But anyway, as a proud member of the Ang Gang and as a licensed professional counselor, I would like to give Crystal a few reasons why she should watch the Last Airbender. First of all, not the notes. Not the notes. I worked hard on this, too. Y' all some nerds. Look at you, fucking nerds. Work. We're gonna start with the contextualized trauma. No, ma'. Am. But you don't wanna watch Steven Universe.

[Kid Fury]

Let her cook.

[Crissle West]

You don't know what you missing.

[Kid Fury]

Sauce it up, diva. What you got?

[Crissle West]

Okay, so it said at the end of 100 years war. So we know there's plenty of trauma, right? And the kids are not okay. But even though the kids are not okay, they got regular trauma, just like kids do now. Well, this is not happening to me right now. The kids deal with parental justification, abuse, grief, abandonment, and they explore these issues, but they don't forget that these kids. Stephen, you never.

[Kid Fury]

She is not finished.

[Crissle West]

Not finished, Mama. Internal family systems. Well, I know all about parts work.

[Kid Fury]

She is 1000% cooking. Everything she's saying is spot on.

[Crissle West]

Okay. The juxtaposition. Okay. Work of the father son dynamic. Between Hakoda and Sokka versus Zuko and Ozai. You can write a whole thesis on that. Steven is literally. His mother literally died to bring him into the world, and he is carrying all of her shit within him. Both fathers. Both fathers are heavily invested in their son's success. One is supportive and encouraging and uplifting, while the other is demanding, inflexible and merciless. But both of the boys are insecure. Both of them are courageous. And both of them go on an identity journey to figure out who they are. You want some more? Cause I got attachment styles. I got emotional regulation lessons on.

[Kid Fury]

That's right. Now we don't have time for all of that.

[Crissle West]

Y' all want to talk about Azula Pool? Yeah.

[Audience Member]

We do not.

[Crissle West]

Thank you so much.

[Kid Fury]

But what I will say. Sequel series, Woman, Avatar.

[Crissle West]

Gay. Gay.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, I guess it's kind of a spoiler.

[Crissle West]

But he had two daddies, so I already heard the gay. But thank you so much. Thank you, lpc. Your point has been made and received.

[Kid Fury]

The last Airbender is literally the world we're Living in, but less cool. Cause it doesn't have.

[Crissle West]

We don't have magic person in the red and white striped shirt. You gonna be the last letter question. All right. Hello. You here to drag me too for not watching anime?

[Audience Member]

No, I'm not. I feel like you got enough. I feel like you got enough. But I just want to say that I love you guys. I discovered you guys recently in the past. Like, thank you.

[Crissle West]

You're welcome.

[Audience Member]

Five years. And I'm not gonna lie, I restarted the.

[Crissle West]

The whole show. Love that.

[Audience Member]

2013. I'm probably like, in the 2015 era right now.

[Crissle West]

Wow. It's okay.

[Audience Member]

But I was all caught up. Okay.

[Crissle West]

Anyways.

[Audience Member]

Had something messy.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Audience Member]

Love that.

[Crissle West]

I want yalls opinion on.

[Kid Fury]

So I was pants turned 180 to what?

[Crissle West]

To, like, set? Exactly.

[Audience Member]

Okay. So I had this best friend since 2014, right? We were the best of friends. Literally. We fell out, but we came back together. And recently she wanted to do a trip for her birthday this year.

[Crissle West]

It's always a fucking birthday trip. Always. It's always a goddamn group trip all the time.

[Audience Member]

So mind y'.

[Crissle West]

All.

[Audience Member]

Mind y'.

[Crissle West]

All.

[Audience Member]

My birthday. My birthday is May 6, so it's coming up.

[Crissle West]

Corey.

[Audience Member]

Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry. Birthday is coming up. But last year, I did the drink around the world for Epcot last year.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, yeah.

[Audience Member]

I had my friend, you know, she was part of the group. She came or whatever. So after the trip, she was like, oh, I want to do something for my birthday. Her birthday was in January. I'm always going to be there for my friends. So she was like, oh, I want to do Puerto Rico.

[Crissle West]

Cool, girl.

[Audience Member]

Let's do it. Like, what you mean? So I'm thinking she's going to plan a trip, do her thing, you know, send the information. She did not do any of that. She was sending it to me and was like, can you please help me plan this, Girl, I just planned a trip. You need to plan your trip, right? So time went on. It gets closer to, like, November. Mind you, my birthday was in May. She gave this idea in, like, September. So we started looking at plane, you know, tickets around November because we need to get that. So I was like, we're gonna get our plane tickets around this time. But she had not given any. Anybody any idea about an itinerary or anything. So I was like, okay, girl, I don't want to on your dreams, but hey, girl, what are we doing? So I got our plane tickets, right? Not enough birds in the air. They're all on the ground. So she was like, yeah, you know, I have a lot going on. And my other friends, they were like, hey, what's going on?

[Crissle West]

Going on, girl?

[Audience Member]

And I'm like, I don't know. You know, I'm not planning it. So I got our plane tickets. Because she was like, hey, best friend. Like, if you're going to go ahead and get your tickets, can you get mine? I'll send you the money right now. Mind you, we have done this plenty of times. And she sent me my bread.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

[Crissle West]

So she had good credit, right? Right, Right.

[Audience Member]

She had good credit, right? So I bought the plane to tickets, 1600, right?

[Crissle West]

You and her. Okay. You and her, Right, right.

[Audience Member]

Because.

[Crissle West]

Yes, I did. I did.

[Audience Member]

I did. I bought hers because it's my best friend, right? It wasn't spirit because I didn't want to arrive in spirit. You know what I'm saying? It was Delta. It was Delta. So it was Delta. These were American doubloons.

[Crissle West]

Hi. As Delta. Yeah.

[Audience Member]

Definitely went through after pay. Cause I love a good payment plan. You know what I'm saying?

[Crissle West]

Like, I be on time.

[Audience Member]

Yeah. So I put our tickets on there. They paid to Delta. Right? But my other friends were like, hey, girl, I don't think we should go. She's not giving us any information. And I was like, you know what? I'm not gonna lie.

[Crissle West]

She's not.

[Audience Member]

But I had already bought the tickets. Cause in good faith, I was trying to be there for my best friend for her birthday, okay? So long story short, they text her and said, girl, we not going.

[Crissle West]

Okay?

[Audience Member]

And she was like, I guess I have to cancel it. Right? So she canceled it. And she was like, oh, see if you can get your money back for the plane ticket immediately.

[Crissle West]

In what world, baby?

[Audience Member]

It's third party. They're not giving me my money back.

[Kid Fury]

Right, right.

[Audience Member]

They're not giving it back. We had to pay them. Right? And she was like, oh, what the fuck? Like, why the fuck do we have to pay it back? Like, we should still go. Do you know that this girl told me that she would rather me be short on rent so we can go on her trip?

[Crissle West]

Wait, so. Okay. Okay what? So the two of y'. All. The two of y' all couldn't go because it would have been too expensive? Is that what I'm hearing?

[Audience Member]

So it was supposed to be six of us originally, okay? Two people, you know, they couldn't go.

[Crissle West]

So it's four.

[Audience Member]

But then my two best friends, because I had the three best friends, her and then the other two that were Right. They were like, she's not giving us enough information. We can't go.

[Crissle West]

Right, okay.

[Audience Member]

So she was like, oh, we can still go. No, we can't.

[Kid Fury]

So wait, how did the. You being short on rent is the preference here. How did that even come out?

[Audience Member]

Because she still had not paid me back for, for.

[Crissle West]

Okay, okay, there we go. Cuz she did not pay you back and she still has not paid you back for these tickets.

[Audience Member]

Oh, do you know that I paid for the. Like it was on a payment plan. It was four payments. I paid. I gave her all of the time, like the scheduled time that afterpay gave to us and I gave it to her. And the day of I was like, hey girl, don't forget to send me your da da. Eight hours went by and then I'm out doing something and she texts me and she's just like, hey girl, like I had like a seizure and I didn't, like I'm using that and I didn't get my money.

[Crissle West]

And I was like, girl, none of

[Audience Member]

that matters to me. You know when you were supposed to

[Crissle West]

give me my money, right? Give me my. You knew this was due before you had a seizure. Yeah, so. Right. What?

[Kid Fury]

So, so you want to know if you should hit her with a car?

[Audience Member]

No, no, no, no, no. No risk. Yes, but because I talked to my parents about it, right? Because I ended up paying the whole thing. The whole thing. And I asked my dad at first because he's a more level headed one. I said, so should I be her ass or.

[Kid Fury]

You got to wrap this up, babe. You're gonna have to wrap this up.

[Audience Member]

I said, should I take her? Should I be her ass or should I take her to court? He said, take her to court. But my, my mom told me not to take her to court. Like, you know, God knows my heart. He's gone tenfold and stuff like that. So I was wondering what y' all think I should do if you're not willing to take.

[Crissle West]

Spend more. Going to court for $800.

[Audience Member]

It was like 8:10. But it's the principal, you know what I'm saying?

[Crissle West]

Like to like $800. The principal. Like I got rent to pay, right? No.

[Kid Fury]

Can you take that to small claims?

[Crissle West]

I think you could take her to small claims for that. But is it going to be worth the court cost?

[Audience Member]

It's going to be like $200. But that's what my mom was saying. She was like, you're going to be shelling out more money than you.

[Crissle West]

Well, I mean, why are y' all

[Kid Fury]

okay, listen, all I'll say is sometimes you gotta pop out and show niggas.

[Audience Member]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

[Crissle West]

I mean, I'm not opposed to it. Are y' all still friends? It sounds like no. Okay. Right, Okay. I mean, yeah. If you willing to. To risk $200 on this and you have it in writing. Like, does she text you all this about bye bye.

[Audience Member]

And then supposedly she was asking people to go to the Don Tolleford concert.

[Crissle West]

That was okay.

[Audience Member]

Yeah. No girl with my lady.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

I mean, yeah, fuck her. Small claims court is an option.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

So nice meeting you. Your blush is on. Have a great night.

[Crissle West]

Thank you, baby. Hey, y'.

[Audience Member]

All.

If you're hiring, you want a candidate who's passionate about the role, but you really can't get that insight from a resume. So when I had my last 9 to 5 job, I was actually tasked with the responsibility of hiring my replacement. And it was easy to find people who are qualified on paper. But when I was conducting interviews with some of these candidates, the ones who really jumped out were the ones who were super interested in the role and they genuinely were like they had questions to ask about my responsibilities and what the day to day was like. They were excited about working for the company, a giant media company that they knew, you know, this was a great opportunity. They seemed like they would be a good fit with the culture and the co workers that I knew they would have to spend the most time with. And so they were just so excited about it. They seemed like they were such a great fit that they jumped out more. So that's. This is the sort of thing that you really can't get from the resume by itself, but there is a way to work around it.

Thank you for coming, Jasmine.

[Kid Fury]

I know.

[Crissle West]

I've also been listening since college.

[Audience Member]

Y' all started like my second year

[Crissle West]

of college, so love that. You know, it's been a beautiful time. Right?

[Kid Fury]

Welcome.

[Crissle West]

Yes.

[Audience Member]

But yeah, I wanted to ask y' all, cuz both of y' all have left yalls hometowns, you know, K. Perry, you left New York and went to la. Like you moved twice.

[Crissle West]

You know what I mean?

[Audience Member]

So like she.

[Crissle West]

I know. I'm saying he's moved to.

[Audience Member]

I know, I know y'.

[Crissle West]

All. I've been here for 13 years. Come on, y'. All.

[Audience Member]

But anyway, I wanted to ask y',

[Crissle West]

all, I'm gonna be moving to LA

[Audience Member]

in the next year and I'm really excited.

[Crissle West]

I'm moving with my boyfriend.

[Audience Member]

I've been going there for like.

[Crissle West]

Y' all don't know my. Y' all don't know my. We don't. I didn't. I didn't.

[Kid Fury]

Y' all are so ghetto.

[Crissle West]

Y' all don't know my. Ghetto is shit. Right? What's your question, baby?

[Audience Member]

My question is. Yes, My question is,

[Crissle West]

what's up? Thank you. So happy to see you. Yeah.

[Audience Member]

No, I wanted to ask y' all what is something that y' all would have told y' all selves, like, moving

[Crissle West]

from your hometown to a new city, like, what would you would have told

[Audience Member]

yourself, like, to ease the anxiety around, you know, like starting a new life type shit.

[Crissle West]

Sorry. Y'. All.

[Kid Fury]

Damn.

[Crissle West]

Oh, Lord. Well, is his mama white? No, no.

[Audience Member]

Both his parents black as hell.

[Crissle West]

Okay. I was just asking to be messy. Well, you know, make sure you have your own. First and foremost. Yes. But something I would have told myself to ease my anxiety. I didn't really have anxiety about moving to New York. The anxiety was around, you know, staying where I was. But I was ready to go. I was ready to do something new, so. Oof.

[Audience Member]

I feel the same way about. I feel called to leave. I've been here my whole life, so I know that there's a lot for me there. But, you know, it's still leaving my

[Crissle West]

hometown type shit, right? Type shit.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. I don't know. I guess if I. Off the top of my head, it would be like, this is a place. It's not like. It's not an organ. It's not like a life and day. You're going to a place that has all of these opportunities and things for you to see. And again, you having lived in one place your whole life, there is some anxiety I get. Like, when I moved from Miami, I was like, how? And I'd been. I have family in New York. I've been to New York a bunch of times. But it was like being on my own in a new city. What is that going to be like? It's a place. So I think overall, especially because you're moving with someone, y' all plead.

[Crissle West]

Don't say nothing about my man. Y' all have like a. I sure won't, baby. I will not say nothing about your man. I'm wishing you the best of luck, though. Thank you. Yeah, Louisiana can be hard.

[Audience Member]

Yeah. It feels that way when I go.

[Crissle West]

Okay, okay. So, you know, I do know LA is a particular place.

[Kid Fury]

It is a particular place. There is a very, very solid and respectable black community there. Black natives especially. And LA is some of the most solid niggas I've ever met in my life. But I would just say, like, this is an adventure. Let me go and make the best out of it. And, you know, worst case scenario, I'm a leave, like. And as someone who live in la, bitch, they do it every day.

[Crissle West]

Don't have a good time and build up your patience. Cause traffic is bad here and it's bad there.

[Audience Member]

It's bad there, too.

[Crissle West]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

And sometimes you're laying down in the ground, just move.

[Audience Member]

Oh, no, I ain't never experienced that.

[Kid Fury]

Honestly, I slept through like, two or three. The two that I felt, it was just like, wait, is something going on? And Then Link would come into the room and be like, girl, where's the water?

[Crissle West]

Where's the water? I don't understand.

[Kid Fury]

Like, she would be the reason I would realize, oh, there's an earthquake happening.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

But I've never, like, experienced the big one.

[Crissle West]

Right.

[Audience Member]

Oh, period.

[Crissle West]

Right, right, right. Okay.

[Kid Fury]

I'll take a hurricane any day.

[Crissle West]

Enjoy it. Yes. Oh, my gosh.

[Kid Fury]

I smashed the out my head.

[Crissle West]

Atlanta too small. Everybody know each other. Of course it is work. Hello.

[Audience Member]

Hi, I'm Alicia. So I'm nervous, but I'm very excited. You guys have. Thank you. I've been listening to you guys for years. I couldn't even tell you how long it's been that I've been listening to you guys, but I'm very excited. And I know it's been everyone's birthday. My birthday's in two days.

[Crissle West]

And so I consider Happy birthday.

[Audience Member]

Happy birthday. But I want to ask you guys. So I'm trying to put myself out there this year in terms of. I know dating is not it.

[Crissle West]

I mean, but.

[Audience Member]

Yeah, but now that I'm in my 30s and this is a better year, I'm trying to definitely put myself out there more and actually try to date and do all these things. But I'm introverted and have some anxiety and a smidge of adhd. So it took a lot for me

[Crissle West]

to come up here.

[Kid Fury]

And, you know the gag to be so sparklingly gorgeous and just be like.

[Crissle West]

Right.

[Audience Member]

Thank you.

[Kid Fury]

Yes. So you're a little bit anxious about. About putting yourself out there for dating.

[Audience Member]

Yes. But in general, just like I'm in. When I'm in spaces where I don't know a lot of people, I just tend to not make a ton of eye contact and other things. And I realize eye contact is important for men to know that they can talk to you.

[Kid Fury]

Well, fuck that. Like, who cares what they want?

[Crissle West]

She just said she trying to date.

[Kid Fury]

I'm trying, but, I mean. Okay.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Audience Member]

So I'm curious to know from you guys of, like, what would you recommend, like, things that I can do to get more comfortable to put myself out there more.

[Crissle West]

Ooh, you. You talking to somebody who be at the house. But I'm also not an introvert. So if I go out, I'm going out with the, you know, big stuff, smile, handshake looking people in the eye type of thing. So do you have extrovert friends who might drag you somewhere and then call you out and be like, hey, girl, wave your hand or something like that and embarrass you? In front of a room full of people, do you have friends who can kind of, like, push you into their way of being.

[Audience Member]

So not. They wouldn't, like, push me into it, but 99% of my friends are extroverts.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Audience Member]

They just adopt.

[Crissle West]

So can you maybe just go follow their lead?

[Audience Member]

I do do that.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Audience Member]

But they just won't overly push me because they know me, so.

[Crissle West]

Right. Well, I mean, the more you do it, hopefully the more natural it becomes or the easier it feels. But I think copying off of people who are behaving a way that we would like to behave is a great way to approach it. What about you? Do you have advice for this?

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, I would say that, like, well, two things. One, being introverted isn't, like, unattractive. It's not a thing that is going to prevent you from meeting someone that is worth your time. In fact, someone who can see you for who you are and take that extra step of like, oh, I want to get that might actually just be weeding out niggas that ain't worth their time anyway. That's 1. 2. Dating is just dating. It's fun. Like, don't put too much expectation into dating, especially if you are dating cisgender heterosexual men.

[Crissle West]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

No, Just go have a time. Find you an eater and just.

[Crissle West]

Yep. And be safe. But you don't have to worry about impressing a man ever. Ever.

[Kid Fury]

What has ever happened to speaking of being an introvert? Whatever happened to days where a lady would stand at the bar and just

[Crissle West]

not the Betty Boop?

[Kid Fury]

You know? And a man would have to come over and be like, excuse me, miss. Whatever the fuck. Yeah, you gotta make eye contact with these niggas.

[Crissle West]

You're so pretty. Just go stand somewhere and wait.

[Kid Fury]

I wish a nigga would not come speak to you.

[Crissle West]

Are you.

[Kid Fury]

What?

[Crissle West]

They'll show up.

[Kid Fury]

But I get it. It's just.

[Crissle West]

Put your phone. Put your phone in your bag.

[Kid Fury]

Have some fun.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Audience Member]

Thank you so much.

[Crissle West]

Good luck, baby.

[Kid Fury]

You're welcome.

[Crissle West]

All right, what's up?

[Kid Fury]

See, this is why I don't like doing shows with places that I have a bar. Because some of y' all just take it a step further. Like, this is not Def Comedy Jam. We hear. This is not an open mic. I mean, I guess it is.

[Audience Member]

Hello.

[Crissle West]

How y' all doing? How y' all doing? Okay. I'm a little nervous. I'm an introvert. Like, she is.

[Kid Fury]

Y' all should just exchange numbers.

[Crissle West]

Right? But anyways. Ooh, nervous.

[Kid Fury]

She's fine. Huh?

[Crissle West]

I Was about to say, you got, you got it distracted. I do have ADHD as well. Yeah, I just found out. Oh. I'm trying to get my bachelor's, so, you know. Okay, congrats. All right, so basically. Oh, my God. All y' all attention is on me. All right, so I was dating this girl for about a year and a half. She is bad, but it didn't go nowhere. Okay, Right. She had commitment issues. She had some, you know, trauma that she had to take care of. All right, so soon after that. So after that, I decided to go my own separate way. I decided that I would go. No contact, cool, everything. Well, I'm a lesbianist.

[Kid Fury]

Really? I would have never guessed.

[Crissle West]

I'm a lesbianist. So I decided that, hey, there's this girl that I've been friends with. She wanted to link up, she wanted to chill. Everything was cool.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, girl, if you don't shut your ass up. We have one more.

[Crissle West]

So she wanted to chill, right? Cool. We linked up, had a great time for maybe about like a couple of months. So don't do too much. Don't do too much. Okay. So I decided that we weren't morally aligned.

[Audience Member 2]

Right?

[Crissle West]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

[Kid Fury]

Okay. It's gonna be one more. There's gonna be one more of you drunk ass niggas. Shut up. She's introverted. She up here talking about the femmes driving her crazy. You talking about, oh, all the lesbians can.

[Crissle West]

Okay, so y' all weren't aligned morally. We weren't morally aligned. Okay. So I talked to my therapist and I'm trying to focus on myself, but I don't know where to start. Like, I started. I. I actually brought a gym membership. I went back to school. Okay. Like, I'm trying, I'm trying.

[Kid Fury]

Doing well, I don't know where to start.

[Crissle West]

Well, you already. You already started. What you mean? I don't feel like I'm going anywhere,

[Kid Fury]

but see, go ahead.

[Crissle West]

But that's. It's the journey.

[Kid Fury]

I knew you were going to do it. I knew you were going to do it.

[Crissle West]

So much of that process of getting back to ourselves feels like we're not doing anything. Keep going anyway. Yeah, new opens up. The more you invest in yourself, the more you pour into yourself, the more you prioritize what you you want and need. Other doors will start opening for you. Other things will start becoming clear. You'll start to develop hobbies and other interests. And the more you invest in you and you become more yourself. You will invite the people who are Attracted to the real, genuine you into your life, but just keep going. Don't stop, because you feel like you don't know where to start. You said you don't know where to start, and then you told us two places you had started.

[Kid Fury]

You know what it is? It's kind of like. Like Bambi when he's figuring out how to use his legs. Like, it takes.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

A minute to be like, oh, this is. But then, next thing you know, you just get used to it. It takes time.

[Crissle West]

I had to duck off from Atlanta. I had to go back home. Okay. I needed to reset. I was home. Home is Myrtle Beach.

[Kid Fury]

So, you know, I don't know where that is.

[Crissle West]

Anybody from South Carolina.

[Kid Fury]

Okay.

[Crissle West]

All right. I had to duck off for a month and a half because it felt right to me, like, my family is my reset. Okay. Yeah, I moved here probably about nine years ago, but still, like, my community is my friend over there. Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Come on, friends.

[Crissle West]

Shout out to the friend. You're doing. You're doing amazing. Just keep going.

[Kid Fury]

Okay. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Yes. Okay. Sit down.

[Crissle West]

You were not wrong. She was supposed to stop doing that.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, you were wrong.

[Crissle West]

Thank you for asking your question. Question. All right. Thank you. No, do not get back on my boyfriend like that.

[Kid Fury]

Technical difficulties.

[Crissle West]

So, Klay Thompson, Right. I'm really. We said it on this show, and I'm not going to accept other re. Be cursing everybody. No. Are curses. Okay. We don't curse everybody, but we have tried to be nice about it, right? Yes. He do look like a beige version of the PBS logo. Yes, he do.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, shit.

[Crissle West]

Yes, he do.

[Kid Fury]

That's true.

[Crissle West]

However, Meg was happy. So what did I say, bitch? I'm happy. If Meg like it, I love it. Long as you doing right by my girl, everything is fine. Now all of a sudden, you got my bitch posting on Instagram stories, Talking about, you know, it's one thing for. Right. Actually, let me pull up the screenshot because let me tell y' all something. When I saw this on Instagram, I thought I said to myself, when did I start following a fake Meg page? Like, these people buying followers and shit. Like, really pissing me off. I had to triple check to make sure it was really her. Anyway, she posted cheating, had me around your whole family playing house. Got cold feet holding you down through all your horrible mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season. Now you don't know if you can be monogamous. I need a real break after this one. Bye, y'.

[Audience Member]

All.

[Kid Fury]

She had a official statement come out.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, there was a. I didn't. I.

[Kid Fury]

It was. We broke up.

[Crissle West]

Right? The PR statement was something like, I am choosing to end my relationship cause a not finna dog me out, and I'll be damned. Something like that. But, you know, dressed up in. In nice, polite language. So. Come on, Crystal. Here's my thing. You could have just left her the fuck alone. Has Megan not been through enough? Mama dead. Daddy dead. Grandma dead. Got shot by a little Canadian nigga who played himself right into fucking prison. Like, has she not been through enough? If you wasn't gonna do right by her? And this is a message to all of y', all, regardless of gender, if you was not gonna do right by that person, just leave them the fuck alone. You had her pulling out her grandma good recipes for Thanksgiving and shit. Making baked beans with the meat in it for your damn daddy. Had her glazing hams and shit, bought a house together, Bought her that baby blue powder blue Bentley back in January. That was January. Talk about, oh, my God, my favorite car of all time. My man, my man, my man had her putting out that song, talking about how you was dicking her the. And I know y' all didn't like the song. That don't matter. My was happy. She was happy. She was happy. What? Why come around and fuck with her?

[Audience Member]

Peace.

[Crissle West]

If you wasn't gonna do right by my girl? I don't understand. And what is this about horrible mood swings during your basketball season? Bitch. Let's talk about that. So because you averaging 8.3 points per game and one rebound, now all of a sudden you gotta have a stank ass attitude. The whole house cold. She walking around on eggshells because your bitch ass is having a flop season. You taking your raggedy ass out bullshit out on my girl. Fucking beige bitch. See? And the light skin. I done got three DMs from light skinned niggas who said, please don't make it about being light skinned. I swear to God. I swear to God. It's bad enough I'm like, well, you gotta pick one. Is it light skinned or biracial? Is it the white mama? Let me know. I'm finna say. Cause I'm gonna use a slur. Cause I'm gonna use a slur. And of course, the point being, of course, we all know that niggas, light skinned or not will cheat on you if that's what the fuck they wanna do. We done all been dogged out by somebody with four black grandparents, so it's obviously not really about that. If a person wants to cheat on you, if they want to disrespect you, they will do that. But I just don't understand why you would treat Megan that way. It's almost like you wanted to embarrass her. It's almost like you wanted to humiliate her. Keep going. Why would. She said, keep going. It's not enough.

[Kid Fury]

I can't.

[Crissle West]

It's just it. When I saw this, I was at a bar, I saw this, and I immediately was like, give me my tab, I have to go home. Like, I have to go home. I got to go to my bitch house. We got it. I got to decompress and we got to talk about this because what the fuck is going on?

[Kid Fury]

I landed here. It was like five hours after she posted it. I landed here. Just naturally on Instagram, went through like two stories.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

And then I see her page cheating. And I made like the divorce court lady face. I was like, I could like, what.

[Crissle West]

It's oh, see, this is why we can't do shows at venues with bars.

[Kid Fury]

That's what I said.

[Crissle West]

It's one thing to be cheated on, but by I'm.

[Kid Fury]

I mean let them use you. Let him use you.

[Crissle West]

Just. You know what I really thought? I thought Klay Thompson was so grateful that a woman like Megan would even sneeze in his direction.

[Kid Fury]

I thought the same thing.

[Crissle West]

That surely he was gonna bend over backwards and do whatever he had to do in his bitch ass life to make her happy, accommodate her, keep a smile on her face. Because the fact that Megan looked like that and you look like that, you ever seen, like a sugar cookie that come out the oven and somebody drop it before it get a chance to harden up? The fact that that's what you look like and you still had the nerve to step out on my bitch. And how we buy a house together. You over here cuddling my goddamn dog now that's when it's personal. Yeah, yeah, my dog is calling you daddy. We buying a house and shit together. And now you don't know if you can be monogamous. What the fuck are you talk. Bitch, I will beat your ass. We been monogamous.

[Audience Member]

Ho.

[Crissle West]

What the fuck is you talking about? You should have had this conversation with yourself and then me way before we got to the point of buying fucking property, you weird ass bitch. Why don't y' all just leave Megan the fuck alone? Just leave her alone. She been through enough. It's been hard enough, period. Right? Literally, women, period. But especially Meg. I feel a way about Meg. Cause it's been too much shit she done gone through with men and with women. You got Glorilla being weird. Hella. People just acting strange about her. Like she already. If you watch the documentary, she already has very few close friends and family for you knowing that you was gonna dog her out to bring her around your family. And she talking about how good it feels to be in a family and be around people and have this vibe and this energy with people. Again, why the would you play with her, nigga? I want to say something illegal.

[Kid Fury]

I was gonna say it, but then

[Crissle West]

it was like, I want to say something illegal. I do. I'm not gonna go to prison behind that, man. But I'm so tired of people who know that they don't have good intentions coming around just to fuck with your emotions and waste your goddamn time. Sit alone by your fucking. Or just be honest about where you really at. You're Klay Thompson. Plenty of hoes will fuck you Simply because you're Klay Thompson. Why go through the bullshit of acting like you really wanted to build a life and have a real relationship and. And grow something with me just to turn around and do some shit like this? Had my bitch on stage last night at the Moulin Rouge with tears in her goddamn eyes. Oh, I hate him. Oh, I hate him.

[Kid Fury]

She booked Bone Thugs in Harmony to come perform at your Squidward tentacle looking ass birthday function. Bitch.

[Crissle West]

He named that fucking boat after her.

[Kid Fury]

Is this like a sociopathic thing?

[Crissle West]

She's supposed to allegedly be fucking with Lexi Brown. Allegedly.

[Kid Fury]

Allegedly.

[Crissle West]

Allegedly. Allegedly. The audacity of these. It never ceases to amaze me. And I'm. I'm so. I'm. I'm sad for her, but I'm also seeing a lot of people say, like, well, this is why you shouldn't post. This is why you shouldn't get excited. This is why you shouldn't fall in love. No. All that. You take your time, Meg. You take your time, okay? You go cry, it's gonna hurt. You gotta grieve. You gon heal. And then one day, you gonna be ready again. Because let me tell you something, Klay Thompson not gonna be the reason you don't find love in your life. I'll be damned. I'll be damned. So go on and sell that house. Keep your car if you want to. Take your time. Do your healing work. And then when you feel when the thought of niggas don't make you want to throw up, then you get your ass back out there. But don't let one nigga who don't know how to act keep you from living the life that you deserve. What you mean I'm not supposed to get excited? What you mean is my bad for believing a nigga's words. Hello? Hello. It's your bad for lying, bitch. It's your bad for doing me wrong. So, yeah, y' all pray for Meg that the next nigga who come around will actually mean what he says and will treat her with the kindness and respect that she deserves. Cause I'm. I'm. And I woke up, the first thing I thought about when I woke up was, fuck Klay Thompson, Old bitch ass nigga. I can't believe that bitch. The first thing on my mind this morning, I have a whole child. The first thing on my mind was Klay Thompson.

[Audience Member]

Where is Lainey?

[Crissle West]

Man, fuck that nigga.

[Kid Fury]

Agreed.

[Crissle West]

I'm done. I'm done.

[Kid Fury]

I was just gonna read Jadakiss and Fat Joe for lying in caresha's. Face. That's the long and short of it. That song is awful and I don't know why they acted otherwise. Caresha went on a podcast with Jadakiss and Fat Joe and played this horrible new song, and Jadakiss and Fat Joe were just gassing her up like it was good. I don't understand why they needed to do that. That's it.
