One of the highlights of my life was when she looked at me and kept walking. I was never been more honored.
- [05:32]
B
God, I've been in the same room as her.
- [05:33]
A
Yeah. And she looked dead at me and was like, yeah, don't know who that is.

Oh, on the show.

B
No, I thought you meant like a podcast.
- [06:04]
A
Okay.
- [06:04]
B
I was about to say no.
- [06:05]
A
Leave that white girl at home sometimes.
- [06:08]
B
No, she's on the Ms. Patch show and she got a blonde bob on, so she's acting.

- [06:30]
A
Okay, fine.
- [06:31]
B
She's like, like, yeah, I will be checking this out because I'm sure I'm going to crack up laughing. All right, Black excellence this week is going to go to a young man on the south side of Chicago by the name of Alex Anning. Because late last year he decided for his birthday what he wanted was to provide food to people, families in need in his community. So he organized a food drive to feed 150 families, specifically in Chicago. He reportedly got this idea from a kindergarten student classmate of his who says he once spent. Oh, she once spent her birthday feeding the homeless. And so Alex told his mom, Kimbria that he wanted to also get into the philanthropic lifestyle. And so that's what they did. November, they partnered with Season to Soar, a non profit and they had the food drive at Carrie Jacobs Bond elementary School. And yes, it was a mighty success. From groceries to clothing, whatever your heart could give, it was gave. And so shout out to the young souls in the young hearts yet to be scarred by the evils of this. And who will, in the light of God's mercy and grace, continue to walk in this divine order because they are anointing who. Because let me tell you what I wanted for my birthday at 8. Books and action figures. Mm.
- [08:26]
A
Literally that toys. A doll whose hair you could perm. I think her name was Kenya. Yeah. And it came with a little perm.
- [08:35]
B
Those dolls were fierce. Like she was really were fierce. Why wouldn't you want to be a hairstylist for the damn doll?
- [08:41]
A
Right? I mean, and the whole point. Cause normally you get a doll and your mama's like, I swear if you cut that doll's hair, we not getting you another doll. But the whole point of this facts. And she came with bundles, like you could purchase bundles.
- [08:52]
B
I remember.
- [08:53]
A
Oh, you remember her.
- [08:54]
B
Okay, I'm a fag. I was. Hello, girl. What are you talking about, child?
- [09:01]
A
Me and my cousin was obsessed with that doll. That's what I wanted. That's what I wanted. So this is a. What a beautiful child. What a beautiful spirit.
- [09:10]
B
Yes. So shout out to you and to mom, Kimbria Young for birthing and raising. Shout out to you doing God's work.
- [09:20]
A
Indeed.
- [09:22]
B
So let's transition into a second of the show that we surround in pop culture, it is called Hot Tops.
- [09:31]
A
And, you know, we took the last couple of weeks off, and quite a bit has transpired.
- [09:35]
B
Quite a bit. Jesus Christ. So listen, I don't even. I'm not even. Just take your time.
- [09:40]
A
Just take your time.
- [09:40]
B
Gonna get through. I just. If I don't. If I didn't talk about whatever the fuck happened, something. If there's a missing link, puzzle piece here, charge to the game. How was I supposed to do. There's like. Are y' all okay? Y' all like, the pop. The. The celebrity girlies? What's going on? What's going on? All right, so Forbes says that Beyonce's a billionaire now. Says she's billionaire, fifth musician to obtain the status alongside her husband. Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift. Yes, it says that obviously she has a million bajillion businesses and companies and things like that. Most of them we obsessed over on this podcast. So if you listen to it, then you know this. But I'm reading that her music and dentures as a musician is really, like, the main source of this.
- [10:49]
A
Okay.
- [10:51]
B
So, yeah, I mean, duh, Beyonce, this isn't really surprising to me. I understand, like, she a black woman, and we, I guess, eat billionaires now, so we're not supposed to be happy about this simultaneously. I also know that this person has been working freakishly hard since they were a literal child. So, yeah, I also believe that it's impossible to be a billionaire without exploiting somewhere, undercutting. Exploiting someone. Undercutting someone somewhere at some point. So do with that what you will.
- [11:24]
A
Yeah, I mean, I think Beyonce has been a billionaire. I have those same feelings about billionaire status. And as I've said many times on this show, black people are the last ones that I'm criticizing for aspiring to make a lot of money, because most of us were literally taught to do that. This is the United States of America. There's no country that encourages you to accumulate wealth more than this one does. So, you know, feelings about billionaires or whatever aside, like, y' all not gonna. Don't bother me about Beyonce until she start acting like Nicki Minaj, okay? Until she start doing some MAGA shit. I. I don't care if your critique of her is she's very wealthy. I already know that it's not going to get me off of that lady's music. It's not going to keep me from her tours, so. Okay. And I'm still buying Sacred, Sacred. Sir Davis, Ivy park, all of it's me. It's me, Okay? I gave her the money, so be mad at me. I gave her the things.
- [12:27]
B
Like, do you know how much money I've given George fucking Clooney when it comes to alcohol?
- [12:31]
A
Oh, baby. That.
- [12:32]
B
Nobody thinks twice, and I still do it.
- [12:35]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [12:36]
B
And nobody blinks twice. I like Sir Davis. It tastes good. I like Sacred. It works.
- [12:42]
A
It does. So I'm not going to defend billionaire status, but I don't know why people keep coming to me about, oh, well, what you gonna say about Beyonce?
- [12:50]
B
No, I like fancy beauty too. That's why Rihanna's a millionaire. She's the one from me. I mean, billionaire. What do you want from me?
- [12:56]
A
Like, when she starts going on stage with Erica Kirk, talking about how nothing.
- [13:02]
B
So let's talk about her.
- [13:03]
A
Okay, wonderful. Let's do that. Then you can bother me about that lady being rich. I don't care.
- [13:10]
B
Okay, so two things about Onika, Tanya, and I'm gonna just like. And then I'm gonna just leave it alone. Three things, okay? One, sick, two shut in. Four things. One sick, two shut in three. The. The current chapter of the Shenanigans. I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you. You know the squidworm meme where he's out sunbathing and he takes a look to the side and then he goes right back to sunbathing? That's me. I looked at this, and I was just like, okay, this is so far outside of my business and concern. I'm also not very surprised. So we'll just see what the streets say about it when they have something to say that will, I guess, entertain or engage me. So that's the third, fourth. What the streets have been saying has entertained me and has gotten engaged. Girl, they're booing mama in the clubs or in pink.
- [14:14]
A
They're over it.
- [14:15]
B
The girlies. The girlies are on change.org calling for this lady to be deported. They hate this bitch. They want her gone. And they are over it.
- [14:26]
A
They are finally, finally, finally. The barbs are like, I guess you niggas had a point. I guess y' all did, because look at what she's doing now. So I also am like, what the.
- [14:39]
B
Fuck is wrong with her?
- [14:40]
A
Oh, it's a lot of things. You know, it's a combination of. Of issues. I'm. I'm going to say mental illness, drugs, and wealth are her three top problems.
- [14:53]
B
Why did they come out like they were about to fight Stone cold Steve fucking Austin? Why are we still doing this?
- [15:01]
A
That whole Turning Point USA thing was so ridiculous. Sitting down with Erica Kirk, who your. Your husband that got popped, made it clear he did not like her, did not think she was a good role model, none of that shit. So whatever Nikki needs a grift, she needs. She is over here doing MAGA shit. I been knew that. I didn't expect her to do this, though. And what really got me, I know a lot of y' all gonna be like, oh, the part where she said, you know, black girls don't have to put down white girls. And I don't need white girls to denounce their blonde hair and blue eyes, and they don't need to denounce their beauty, because that was stupid enough. What got me was when she told Erica Kirk that that moment, being on stage with that white woman who's pretending to be sad about her dead husband meant more to her than all the things she's done in her career. And she explicitly said, I've done all these shows across the world, all the moments with my fans, all the things that I've done and accomplished. It just, you know, it just doesn't mean as much as this moment here right now. And I said, I refuse to believe.
- [16:11]
B
That you heard of Erica Kirk before three to four months ago.
- [16:15]
A
Absolutely she didn't. Absolutely she did not. Now, why she is going so hard on the Mega Dick, I don't know. I wrote Nikki off years ago. We know this about me. It's been so many times of dragging her on this show, there's really even nothing. I just thought, wow, I imagine being a barb, right? I mean, you can remember. And for years you have pretended and looked the other way or tried to justify it when this lady did all kinds of terrible things. Terrible. Treated other people horribly. Right? Especially in the last few years, you know, mocking Meg's dead mama and all the shit she's done. You've tried so hard because you love this lady, okay? You've been down since day one. Pink wig, thick ass. And you, you go to all her shows, you buy all of her music, you. And you clock in on Twitter and tick tock every day to defend her. And she got up there and told that white woman that you and your devotion to her mattered less than the chance to get on stage with that bitch. I said, could you disrespect the Barbs any more than you already have? Let boys be boys. These homosexuals in skirts and makeup at your shows. Really?
- [17:45]
B
He's talking about trans women.
- [17:47]
A
Who wants trans kids? Oh, I'm sorry. Those are your. Did you know those Were your fans. Did you know that when you acted like you were a supporter of the LGBTQ community, they took that seriously. Like, who do you think goes to your shows? Who do you think is defending you? 90% of them are homosexual black men.
- [18:11]
B
I wouldn't be surprised if she's resentful for that. She probably want, like, I wouldn't be surprised if she wants more accolades from street niggas or just, like, heterosexual. You know what I mean? As a homophobic, transphobic person, I wouldn't be surprised if she looks out of this sea of women and faggots and trans women in shit wigs and glitter and rainbow flags, and she's just like, ugh, can I get just one felon in a tech suit? God damn. Like, this is Trent. You know what I mean? Yeah. And so Erica Kirk gave her. She already emboldened by Trump and all these other white people who are begging her to be Stacey Dash. Right? And so now she's like, okay, let me just full dick out. Because the white people and maybe these white kids. Cause turning point is children like. Like, they. It's. It's for schools and young people.
- [19:13]
A
Yeah.
- [19:14]
B
So it's like, maybe I can shift this to an audience that is as. Is as reliable when it comes to spending the coin and coming out. Because they're still the girlies that are buying the tickets, wearing the merch and getting into a homer, screaming your name out of the window down the boulevard. Like that age group does it. But if they hate sissies and punks, you know, all the better for me, that's what is giving. Yeah.
- [19:48]
A
She's it.
- [19:48]
B
Like, I do.
- [19:49]
A
Exactly. She can't believe she ended up in a space where all of you.
- [19:53]
B
I'm so sick of sissies. I don't know what to do. That's what's giving.
- [20:01]
A
She's trash. She's a flop. And she's been those things for a while.
- [20:04]
B
She really sucks bad everything about rap.
- [20:08]
A
I actually did feel bad for the barbs who are still holding on for her to get on stage with that white woman and be like, yeah, all these moments that I spent touring worldwide with my fans ain't shit compared to meeting you, Erica. I said no shade. How. Wow.
- [20:22]
B
No shade. I can't imagine how like your fave that you have really been scratching and clawing at for years. Regardless. Even if it wasn't some moral shit, it's like, oh, this her versus Meg or Cardi or whatever. Like, you always scratch it and trying to defend her for whatever. So you Train to go at that. And she has deployed you niggas to go do it.
- [20:50]
A
Yep, yep, yep.
- [20:52]
B
And you've done it willingly and asked, is there anything else you need? Just for her to go get up on stage and be like, I hate your gay ass. I hate you, B. Just be a boy or just be a girl and blah, blah, blah. Like, that sucks. I don't give a fuck how many times I fry this lady or make fun of her or whatever. My opinion is that sucks. That sucks for people. Take it however you want to write a think piece about it. Some people, being a Barb is their identity.
- [21:19]
A
Yes, it is.
- [21:20]
B
Being a Taylor Swift fan is their identity. Being in a beehive is their identity. Right?
- [21:26]
A
Yep.
- [21:26]
B
So for whatever that is, that's what it is. It's a different conversation. It is. I just can't help but just feel like, God damn. Like, right directly in the broad sun, like daylight, you like you did.
- [21:43]
A
You absolutely did say that with your whole fucking chest. So now I imagine only.
- [21:48]
B
This is awful.
- [21:49]
A
The only ones who are still standing, I'm sure, have their own very deep seated issues. Because it just ain't no way. Like, there's some.
- [21:56]
B
Oh, yeah, it's something.
- [21:57]
A
And it's been something wrong with y', all, but at least a lot of them. And not just Barbs, but also the more casual Nicki fans who just try to ignore it and focus on the music, all of those people are like, okay, yeah, this is where I'm out.
- [22:10]
B
Like, it makes it. You know what I mean? I can't do it no more.
- [22:13]
A
Yeah. It gets to a point, right? So those of you who are still on her ass, just trust that we all know there's something wrong with you. And I genuinely hope that you get the help that you need.
- [22:24]
B
But, like, no shade.
- [22:26]
A
Oh, no, that's shade.
- [22:27]
B
It is. No, it's no shade. Cause like, girl, if you were a part of this community, if you wanted the ligga or the bigger or the tika or the plus or the 1, 2, 3, and you're like, girl, so I live pink wig, pink Friday. There's legitimately something wrong with you. Like, it's not even. Like, there just is.
- [22:55]
A
Yeah.
- [22:56]
B
Now you can evaluate that. You can look into it or not, but there's something wrong. Yeah, it's something wrong if you are. If you're not a part of the community and you're like, yeah, there's something wrong with you. There's something wrong with you if you agree with us.
- [23:10]
A
Yes, it is. And that's why I said don't bother me about Beyonce when your only critique is that she's wealthy. I know that the way I feel about billionaires hasn't changed, but come. Come bother me about her when she acts like this, when she's actually a problem. Yes, I'm biased. Duh, duh, duh. This isn't journalism.
- [23:35]
B
Beyonce got. Beyonce gave me features from TS Madison, Kevin, Prodigy, bitch.
- [23:40]
A
Like, I mean, when Beyonce turns on the gaze, I'll be the first one to cuss that bitch out. I'll be the first one. And y' all will be tuned in to hear it. Oh, I' ma cry. Oh, I'm gonna fucking weep.
- [23:52]
B
I'm going to be upset, but you can laugh.
- [23:55]
A
Yeah, until the end. Until then.
- [24:02]
B
Anyway, the girls are suing Drake. They're calling it a rico. They say the doll is racketeering young money. What?
- [24:13]
A
Yeah, no, I'm listening. Sorry, I'm not laughing.
- [24:16]
B
Two consumers in Virginia are accusing Drake. That's dreaming, boy. And someone in Australia named George Nguyen.
- [24:34]
A
Oh, Nguyen.
- [24:37]
B
Okay. Win. I've never known how to say that damn name.
- [24:41]
A
Oh, I had a friend with that name in middle school. It's like a very, very common Vietnamese last name.
- [24:47]
B
Oh, yeah, no, I have seen it thousands of times.
- [24:51]
A
Yes.
- [24:52]
B
Never remember how to fucking say it.
- [24:54]
A
Yeah.
- [24:56]
B
So they're suing these three people specifically over Stank, the online casino that Drake is infamously known to be promoting, especially on streaming services and including some, I think, that he has done with Aiden Ross. So this lawsuit claims that they use Steak to prey upon consumers, quote, substantial risks of gambling addiction. They say people are unlawfully exposed to. That part is interesting to me. This is someone who doesn't know the law. I'm like, isn't every casino then unlawful? Is it like, expose. Unlawfully exposing people to substantial risks of gambling addiction? Isn't that any place where.
- [25:51]
A
Well, no, because this is. This is illegal because it's online. And I think Steak had already been shut down before for gambling. And then they just kind of like, tried to rebrand it and be like, oh, it's Steak coins or whatever, but it's still real money that you can use to buy cryptocurrency or whatever.
- [26:08]
B
Like, Right, I did see that in here too. Yeah, that explains that. Okay. And jeopardize financial well being. Reading this on Rolling Stone. They say they were influenced to participate in stakes predatorial gambling environment after viewing Drake's promotion of the site, which is paid.
- [26:31]
A
Yes.
- [26:31]
B
Duh. I mean, yeah, Right? Including gambling online. So I mean, if you haven't seen this before, Drake will usually hop on a stream, like I said before, talk about steak and how great it is and how your 4 year old should use it and essentially like use it on the streams. Be like, see, it's so easy. And if you start today, we'll give you my candles and a postcard and like a for all the dogs T shirt. And it is like, I've talked about this. We've talked about this. It is like so obviously predatory and gross. So it's like this isn't shocking to me. It's just two people. What are their names? Lashana Ridley Work and Tiffany Hines.
- [27:22]
A
Love that.
- [27:23]
B
These two have filed this lawsuit with RICO attached to it because they say that the girlies are trying it. The complaint characterizes the program as an unlimited and wholly unregulated money transmitter that appears to exist outside the oversight of any financial regulator. There you have it.
- [27:39]
A
There we go.
- [27:40]
B
There's the unlawfully.
- [27:41]
A
There we go. There it is.
- [27:44]
B
And then it also alleges that they would.
- [27:47]
A
You was getting to it. You was getting to it. I love this.
- [27:53]
B
Also alleged that the funds were then used to finance fraudulent streams of Drake's music and broad ass campaigns that were at the time meant to target and disparage his. Compare his competitors. This is crazed. Well state our representative of said the company quote does not have a tipping function that could be used in this way. I'm talking about the user to user tipping feature that allows people to directly transfer money. I'm like, I don't know if this is true or false because I've never used stake. I literally only maybe it was like the second or third time that that Drake was talking about it somewhere and I at the time didn't know what it was. I knew it had probably something to do with gambling, but I know how it worked. So I literally just typed in the website to go look at it and I was like, okay, this will like Netflix for losing your money. All right, bye. So I don't know the features of it, but Steak is apparently calling this a nonsense claim and apparently they're claiming they're not concerned with it.
- [29:02]
A
Okay, well.
- [29:04]
B
But yeah, they're suing the girl for racketeering and not only preying on people using gambling and the possibility of addiction to gambling, but also then using funds to go back, run up Spotify and try and on anybody who listens to not like us. That's what they talk about. That's what. Yes, it's just what they're saying that's what's here on the. On the paper. Thoughts?
- [29:33]
A
Well, I mean, obviously I don't know, because gambling is so far outside of my business. I have no idea what is really going on over there. But I wouldn't be surprised by any of it, especially the using bots to artificially inflate Drake's streams while he was going toe to toe with Kendrick. Like, I just would not be shocked by that at all. Because I'm sure the beef with Kendrick and the fact that he lost as bad as he did, I mean, he got his ass so soundly and thoroughly whipped. I would not be surprised at all if he decided to do something like this and accused Kendrick of doing it. Remember. Remember when he was like, oh, no, I know how y' all do. Y' all lie about things because I.
- [30:15]
B
L. And we literally were like, yes. We were like, yeah, you would know, because this is something that. Because this is when we laughed about it.
- [30:21]
A
We did.
- [30:22]
B
And then we did.
- [30:25]
A
But the larger issue of the gambling and, you know, steak trying to get around the fact that they're not allowed to operate as an online gambling company with, you know, the. The stake coins or whatever, that also sounds very plausible to me. I agree that these. Whenever the laws changed and all of a sudden you could gamble anywhere and all that, that was such a huge problem. Like, it created such a massive issue in this country with gambling. And we don't run gambling ads on this show for that very reason because they target regular degular broke ass people and try to convince you to, oh, $5 here and we'll 100 time your or however the it works. So, I mean, I. It's all plausible to me, but I guess we'll see how it shakes out in the court a lot. I don't know one way or the other, but I can easily see it. Yikes.
- [31:22]
B
You know, I. I listened to Scorpion the other day. Well, I listened like three songs from Scorpion the other day randomly, and I was like, this is the. I think this is the last.
- [31:30]
A
Really?
- [31:30]
B
Like this. That one was good.
- [31:33]
A
I did not like it.
- [31:35]
B
You didn't like Scorpion?
- [31:37]
A
Remember, it's only that one song with the city girls that I was like, okay, but that one song. Just listening to the Nokia's been in my head heavy lately. Who's calling my phone? That has been.
- [31:48]
B
See, I don't like that.
- [31:49]
A
I love that. Isn't Keisha. Isn't Becky. I do like that. But that might be because of Tick Tock the Tick Tocks within are Cute. But I. Yeah, I would love for Drake to get back to the music and stop being a shithead, but I'm fine.
- [32:07]
B
I mean, do you. Are you? Are you? Yeah. What do you have to go on that, like, the music he's gonna get back to is gonna be.
- [32:16]
A
Yeah.
- [32:17]
B
Something you're gonna like. Right?
- [32:18]
A
It's been a very long time. How was it? More life. It might have been more like. I didn't like certified lover boy either, so.
- [32:29]
B
No, I didn't like that album either.
- [32:31]
A
It might have been more.
- [32:31]
B
I think the last one I liked was Scorpion.
- [32:34]
A
Let me look at the track listing for Scorpion.
- [32:37]
B
Now I'm saying Scorpion. Like, why am I.
- [32:39]
A
You're welcome. You're welcome. Cause that's how it said. But it isn't. Oh, God's plan was on Scorpion, I'm telling you.
- [32:49]
B
Oh, that's not what I was looking to the other night. Yeah, that's the City girls one. Nice.
- [32:54]
A
For what is not the city girls one? That's Happy birthday. No, that's in my feelings.
- [33:00]
B
Oh, yeah. In my feelings as a city girl.
- [33:01]
A
Nice. For what is the. Is one of the Drake's best songs of all.
- [33:05]
B
I think it is literally one of.
- [33:06]
A
His in his whole catalog. Nice for what?
- [33:09]
B
I agree. Flawlessly. Really good, at least.
- [33:11]
A
So good. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah.
- [33:15]
B
No on there. I like.
- [33:16]
A
Overall, I don't like that album.
- [33:18]
B
That's how you feel. Is there a song on there called that's how you feel?
- [33:23]
A
I literally just closed it out, but I'm gonna pull it back up.
- [33:26]
B
It doesn't matter.
- [33:27]
A
It's something about feelings.
- [33:28]
B
Tamar Braxton wants an apology.
- [33:31]
A
That song's Fire with Nikki. It says Nikki's on.
- [33:34]
B
It's just a clip of her doing. I can't remember the name of the song. It's just a clip of her performing one of her songs.
- [33:41]
A
Got you. Okay.
- [33:45]
B

Hey y', all, have you heard of this new Netflix series called his and Hers? So it's this mystery starring Tessa Thompson as Anna, a journalist in Atlanta, and John Bernthal as Detective Jack Harper. Now, when Anna catches wind of a murder in her sleepy little hometown, she jumps into the investigation. Detective Harper grows suspicious of her involvement. Girl, what you doing? Chasing her into the crosshairs of his case. Now the closer they get to each other, the closer they get to the truth. Watch his and hers now only on Netflix.
- [35:42]

Tamar Braxton says she wanted an apology over Mendeecees and the rumors around her and Mendeez's from some late ass clip that she did. I think we talked about that. Yeah, because there's a clip now of Mendeece's on I think Young Jocks radio show talking about how he and Yandy aren't a couple anymore, they I guess been separated for a little bit. And when asked if they if it's like official if they're going to get a divorce, Mendisi said unsurprisingly that they were never legally married in the first place. So there's no I love it. And Yandy not long later posted on her Instagram story one of these little quote thingies. Now I finally understand the difference between people who love me, people who love me around me, and people who love what I can do for them. I never take these seriously because a lot of y' all don't stand on it anyway, like two hours later you'll be like, oh, that was about the mailman girl, if you don't get out my face. But yeah, I do believe that they're separated. Good for the both of you. And God Bless the children. They are beautiful children at that, Right?
- [36:56]
A
So why does Tamar want an apology? Because people said she was fucking with you.
- [37:01]
B
You tell me.
- [37:07]
A
Oh, Yandy, you did all that life of a wife and putting that ring in the camera when you was never legally married to this nigga.
- [37:13]
B
Yuck. I mean, she. What he said on the thing wasn't new. She said that on Love and hip hop. I feel like forever ago. So I don't know if young Jacqueline forgot, right? But she confirmed that they weren't married. Now, she didn't confirm it at first. She did try to lie like a while and tap that ring around like, wife, wife, wife, wife, wife.
- [37:32]
A
Yeah.
- [37:32]
B
And it wasn't until everybody else. I remember this forever ago, until everybody else on that show was like, girl.
- [37:39]
A
What wife don't do that?
- [37:41]
B
And then eventually she just told the truth. She was like, that nigga was locked up. He had all kinds of fuck fuckery going on in his legal life. And I wasn't going to attach my. My name or my coins to.
- [37:51]
A
Oh, smart. That's actually pretty smart.
- [37:53]
B
Exactly what she explained. It was like, bitch, why didn't you just say that?
- [37:57]
A
Right? Why would you ever brag about being his. Okay, never mind. Now we getting into why are you a bird? And y' all can't answer that question.
- [38:04]
B
That's literally the exact same thing that Mandy See said in this interview. So it wasn't really shocking.
- [38:09]
A
So Tamar wants an apology from everybody.
- [38:12]
B
Again, I don't know.
- [38:14]
A
Okay, all right.
- [38:14]
B
Yes. For everybody, I guess, who was like, oh, you fuck him in DCs? Why would you have him in his video where he with Yandy?
- [38:23]
A
Got you.
- [38:23]
B
That is so wrong. And da da, da, da. Right on the heels of her being at the Versus Martha.
- [38:29]
A
Right. With Birdman, Right? Okay, well, maybe you'll get it, girl. I don't know. But I.
- [38:36]
B
You know what I just thought of Boots from Flavor of Love in New York. I deserve an apology. When I came down those stairs, you're not getting one. New York said, you're not getting one.
- [38:49]
A
You're not.
- [38:50]
B
Let's start the process, shall we? That's how I feel. You're not getting one for what?
- [38:55]
A
Well, I mean, you're not getting one from me because I never said this because I don't care what you or Mendy sees or Yandy does. Genuinely, you know, it comes up as a topic on this show and I'll give my two cents, but I never said you were Mendy's in the first place. I always Assumed he was just in the video for the sake of having him in the video. I never took it any further than that. But maybe those of you who did do it, maybe y' all will feel, you know, convicted and go on and give that lady the apology she's begging for.
- [39:21]
B
Kylie.
- [39:22]
A
I do, too, because y' all are immature as. But maybe.
- [39:28]
B
Kanye west says he's working on a new album. But more importantly, apparently, Northwest is producing music now. She made a beat for Lil Wayne's song Son.
- [39:43]
A
Oh.
- [39:46]
B
And yeah, proudly posted on her Instagram, I believe, Beat me. Beat made by me. Now, here's the thing. I'm gonna be honest. I like the beat.
- [40:01]
A
Okay?
- [40:02]
B
I like the beat. I see where she's going with me. I actually think that she has a knack for it. Now, the vocal. Let's talk about the vocal. Let's talk about Lil Wayne's son's contribution.
- [40:13]
A
Okay?
- [40:14]
B
God bless us, everyone. God bless everyone. And I actually. I can't listen to it.
- [40:23]
A
Wait, how old is.
- [40:24]
B
But it's what the kids, like, do we know.
- [40:27]
A
Is he a child?
- [40:28]
B
I think he's 16.
- [40:29]
A
Okay.
- [40:30]
B
So, yeah, but that's the other thing. He's on there rapping about Ma. He talking about Molly's.
- [40:36]
A
Oh, no.
- [40:37]
B
And so the unk in me is like, young man.
- [40:42]
A
Miley.
- [40:43]
B
Oh, no.
- [40:44]
A
Annie don't like that. Annie do not like that.
- [40:46]
B
What you mean, like, excuse me.
- [40:51]
A
What you know about drugs? I hope you're not already doing drugs, baby. What is going on? No, I don't like.
- [40:58]
B
I literally.
- [41:00]
A
Thank God I'm old.
- [41:03]
B
It does sound, though, like, sounds like Lil Uzi Vert. It sounds like a lot of the, like, mumble rap is sort of like dancing on the edge of metal.
- [41:15]
A
It's like this song.
- [41:17]
B
This song. But it sounds like. Listen to it later. It sounds like what the kids today listen to.
- [41:23]
A
Okay.
- [41:23]
B
Vocally, especially, like, it's a little too erratic and, like, raspy and throaty for me. And then again, it's like Lil Wayne's Baby talking about Molly and girls and stuff. Even though it's what they're talking about. Well, yeah, it's not a song that I would go out of my way, but I was very. I was very enamored by Northwest producing a beat. And even the beat is. I don't love it, but I think it sounds like what kids her age. Like, it's good. Like, it's not a bad beat. It's just not like. And honestly, she would have gave it to somebody else. Maybe we could see where, how it would stretch itself.
- [42:09]
A
Perhaps, Perhaps.
- [42:12]
B
Well, I, but I'm just excited about her producing.
- [42:15]
A
Good for her. You know what? Your father's Kanye, your mother's Kim Kardashian. Why not like we're not talking about her.
- [42:22]
B
We're talking about.
- [42:22]
A
Let's talk about music.
- [42:23]
B
That's Emma family. What about the artist? That's what we're talking about.
- [42:27]
A
All right, that's fine. You know, I have no interest in critiquing a 14 year old's beat. I'm, I'm stuck on. And this is how I know I'm elderly. I'm stuck on this child rapping about Molly. And when he's talking about girls. What do you mean, what about girls? Exactly. Because I, I, I know I'm old. Because my thought is, who is letting a 16 year old rap about these things and put the music out? Where's your mama and papa? Where are they at? Where are you doing this?
- [42:52]
B
Consider the papa.
- [42:55]
A
Okay, but he's 16.
- [42:57]
B
Consider the papa's papa.
- [43:03]
A
You know, that is not his damn daddy. I mean, girl, who's this child's mama?
- [43:10]
B
I don't know. I think it's Nivea's mom. I mean, Nivea's son. I'm not sure.
- [43:15]
A
Nivea. Okay, so what is Nivea doing? I just, I don't like kids.
- [43:18]
B
But don't get me to lying. I'm not sure.
- [43:20]
A
Okay, well, regardless, I don't like kids talking like that. What you mean Molly?
- [43:26]
B
It's cause we're old.
- [43:27]
A
Okay, well, I'll be that you. Right. Cause I don't like that.
- [43:30]
B
Mm, mm, mm, mm.
- [43:32]
A
You need to be rapping about high school and prom and yeah, you can rap about girls, but not. I hope you're not rapping about prom.
- [43:38]
B
Yes, he should be rapping about prom.
- [43:40]
A
Yes, he should. And getting your driver's license. And basketball. Yeah. Your favorite athletes. Yes.
- [43:47]
B
Girl, no, wait a minute. Hold on. Let's cook. Let's, let's, let's just add a little bit of turmeric. Let's get some time. Wait a minute, hold on, wait a minute.
- [43:55]
A
Little mere porn.
- [43:56]
B
What if it was about prom?
- [43:58]
A
This is what I'm saying. We should have talked about.
- [44:02]
B
She was making a classic coordinating outfits with your mom. You're 75 years old performing the prom record.
- [44:09]
A
This is what I'm saying. I, I don't like. You're onto something. I don't like kids talking like they grown. That bothers me.
- [44:17]
B
Yeah, I don't really like it either. But I just listened to when I. Oh, this is for children. And I was just very like, oh, my gosh, north is producing. That's so fun. And she's so young. Like, if. Cause it's. It's like, again, I listened to and I was like, oh, yeah, this sound like a song I would hear on itunes right now and be like, oh, this is for the kids. And think nothing twice of it.
- [44:34]
A
Yeah.
- [44:35]
B
So when you really get your knuckles into this, Miss Girl.
- [44:40]
A
Okay, Miss Girl. Okay, Miss Girl.
- [44:44]
B
And she apparently she also got a piercing and the girls are raging. Like, can y' all shut the fuck up?
- [44:48]
A
Isn't she 14?
- [44:50]
B
I think she's probably 14, 15 now.
- [44:52]
A
That's pretty normal to get a. I mean it.
- [44:55]
B
Thank you.
- [44:55]
A
Unless it's, I mean, like a nose piercing.
- [44:58]
B
This is why they hate us. This is why these kids hate millennials. Like, are y' all lost? Do you not remember that? Y' all were bad?
- [45:05]
A
And also, I'm sure nobody pierced Northwest without her parents consent.
- [45:09]
B
Like, thank you.
- [45:10]
A
I don't have a problem with a 14 year old getting a nose or lip piercing or whatever. That doesn't mean anything to me. But yeah, she also is a talented artist. So I'm. I'm hoping north, you know, uses her parents money to do whatever makes her heart happy, man.
- [45:27]
B
Especially Donnie McCurkin going to jail. Especially.
- [45:34]
A
I remember I said on Twitter like 20 years ago that Donnie McClurkin was the most homosexualist homosexual. You've never seen anybody gayer than Donnie McClurk. It is Skittles in the booty hole levels of gay with that. And y' all talked about me so bad. And now look. And now look. Never wrong, just early.
- [45:57]
B
Don McClurin is being sued by a former personal assistant for allegedly grooming him. The accuser named Jeppe Carleto, is unsurprisingly handsome, Squidward, chisel face looking, beautiful white man, because here we go again. And he allegedly has. Okay, so let's start with the beginning. He says that he sought out guidance, I guess, from Donnie in 2003 because he was inspired by Donnie McClurkin's autobiography and overcoming the curse of.
- [46:50]
A
Oh, that's right. Yes. He acted like he had beat the gay.
- [46:56]
B
Right? Love it.
- [46:58]
A
Oh, this is. This is just so Tyler Perry coated.
- [47:02]
B
He don't love men's no more. She's next. Effie. So, okay, he's basically saying that they met at this church event for this. Donnie talked about a bit about his story and specifically about being sexually assaulted or molested as a child. More than that. And Giuseppe says that that really resonated with him because it was similar to his own story. So they basically, you know, like, Donnie kind of took him under his wing. And he said at first it was all very innocent and what I thought was mentoring.
- [47:48]
A
Oh, no.
- [47:50]
B
Then he says that he began. Donnie began to molest him during Pray the Gateway spiritual sessions, which is like, oh, my God. How does that work?
- [48:06]
A
God told me to feel on your dick while we talking about this to make sure that you don't respond to my touch. Like, I'm sure something that dumb came out of his mouth.
- [48:18]
B
Do you know how? Okay. Like Eve. Okay. Evil. Okay.
- [48:24]
A
Yikes.
- [48:25]
B
I'm back.
- [48:26]
A
Okay.
- [48:30]
B
Okay. So during this time, he says that he was working as Donnie McCurkin's assistant and traveled with him quite regularly. He says he was struggling to process the incidents at first, but as Donnie was both his mentor and employer, it made things very difficult. Speaking out was difficult. And he even alleges that he got an email apologizing. He got an email from Donnie apologizing for his actions. And the lawsuit alleges that. The message reads, I am the actual epitome of a desperate, dirty old man pawning and groping a young man. Acceptance and acknowledgement is like the first step, isn't it? That's like, the first part somewhere in the beginning. Pawning and groping a young man who is just looking for a friendship and close platonic relationship with someone he wants look to for help, guidance, and spirituality.
- [49:33]
A
No.
- [49:34]
B
I feel so foul, so stupid.
- [49:36]
A
Oh.
- [49:37]
B
They said in this email, which was filed in a state supreme court in Manhattan just like a week or so ago.
- [49:47]
A
Okay.
- [49:48]
B
Yeah. Of course, McClurk denies it. His attorney says the allegations are categorically false. At no time did Pastor McClurkin engage in any form of sexual abuse, assault, or coercion of the sexual kind. His attorney, Greg Gliesi, said in the statement, quote, the claims set forth in the lawsuit grossly mischaracterized their interactions, which occurred over a decade and some accusations over two decades ago. All these allegations are contradicted by the real facts, which are. Which I guess you'll. We'll find those later with that in the.
- [50:30]
A
Yeah, yeah.
- [50:31]
B
But. Yeah, another. You know, I deny it, and then we'll see what happens. I'll be surprised if it's a settlement.
- [50:39]
A
Right?
- [50:40]
B
But there you go, girls.
- [50:44]
A
So a young man who was struggling with accepting his sexuality. I saw that he was, like, 21 in 2003. Donnie McClurkin was like 44 in 2003. So 46. Something like that. This is pretty. This is pretty bad. Hmm. It'll be easy enough to verify the authenticity of that email. That's. That's. That's where I'll. That's where I'll leave that. Your attorney can say, whatever. If the email's real, then all of that other shit don't matter to me. Because why would you be confess. Confessing, talking about, oh, I'm a terrible person and my homosexual desires just take over me. Why would you even be doing all that?
- [51:26]
B
The actual epitome of a desperate, dirty, old.
- [51:30]
A
I mean, I agree.
- [51:31]
B
Why would you be saying that?
- [51:32]
A
I agree.
- [51:33]
B
Conning and groping a young man. Like, if this email is real, then, girl, yeah.
- [51:37]
A
Then right then you are cooked.
- [51:39]
B
I don't know what there is to talk about.
- [51:40]
A
I feel like if. If this. If the young Italian has any. If his lawyer is even halfway decent, then they authenticated the email before they even agreed to take the case. Um, so. But I'm not shocked. Y' all act.
- [51:59]
B
I thought I was to blame. Carlotto said I was brainwashed to think that was wrapped up in him.
- [52:05]
A
Yeah. I mean, well, you were 21 and he was 46.
- [52:09]
B
Right. And you were also traumatized, and you were listening to someone who. Similarly. Who experienced similar trauma.
- [52:18]
A
Yep.
- [52:19]
B
So. And was 20 some odd years older than you. So why you've like.
- [52:24]
A
Right.
- [52:25]
B
Yeah.
- [52:25]
A
You were the perfect victim.
- [52:27]
B
You were the perfect victim to feel and feel better. You were the perfect victim. Exactly.
- [52:30]
A
Yeah.
- [52:32]
B
Oh, my God.
- [52:34]
A
I mean, this is so common. And I don't know why we act like it's not. We. This issue of black men specifically. Although Jackie Hill Perry is over there too, pretending like she not a whole honkin dyke, y'. All. We have this issue. We have this issue with black people. I'm so sorry. We just will not let niggas be gay. Honking, honking.
- [53:07]
B
Can you like, honestly? 26 you bitches will let. You will let chat. GPT write your obituary, watch your will for you. But you still can't mind your own goddamn sexual business. Like, I don't understand.
- [53:25]
A
Yeah, just. And so you do all this? Oh, well, you know, I struggled with it, but I've overcome it. And thank the Lord and my faith in God and all that. You. You say all this publicly and then behind closed doors, you acting just like Tyler Perry and countless other homosexuals. You doing gay because that's who you really are and that's what you really want. And if you would Simply embrace it. If you would simply embrace it. What the world got to say you are who you are, then maybe you wouldn't get caught up doing weird, dirty, disgusting, despicable shit like this. But you don't. You try to pretend that you're not really that. And you try to pretend like praying about it or believing in God or loving God is going to keep you from having these desires. They're not even unnatural. Homosexuality is seen throughout species. It's nothing unnatural about it. You just are who you are. You're attracted to men, that's fine, but you refuse to believe that about yourself. And so now here you are in this exact same position, and it's just. I mean, this is tragic, but completely unsurprising.
- [54:31]
B
Unfortunately.
- [54:32]
A
Yeah.
- [54:35]
B
Carlotto did say, I listen to praise and worship music still. And that's what I consider church. So in many respects, while I lost friends, community, my religion, I found myself, my family, and my peace. And that's where you just like the rest. A lot of us end up.
- [54:50]
A
The rest.
- [54:51]
B
That's where a lot of us.
- [54:52]
A
Yeah, the rest of us black queers do the same thing. You think I don't listen to Richard Smallwood every day? RIP to let's just be greatest. Like, I absolutely. I love gospel music. And when you. When you don't believe that your God hates you, it's much easier to listen to.
- [55:11]
B
That is so true.
- [55:12]
A
Why would God create me to then send me to hell? Why I. Why would God do that? Okay.
- [55:22]
B
And girl, if you're so broken that you're like, I don't like men's no more. That's your life to live. Then don't like men's infiltrating somebody else's life.
- [55:34]
A
Yeah.
- [55:36]
B
Preying upon them and break like, what.
- [55:40]
A
Are you doing right? Y' all never say, oh, well, I beat the gay. Even though you know you didn't. Y' all never say that. And then just become completely celibate and never engage in any sexual acts with anyone. Moving forward, y' all never do that. It's always this sneaky, dirty Dwight Eubanks. Did Dwight Eubanks denounce his sexuality? Because I've. I was about to say, because I've never seen that nigga's a walking glitter puff.
- [56:11]
B
So really quick, when I was Googling Tyler Perry to pull up this article, I accidentally type Tyler Perry P A R R Y into Google, and to my surprise, immediately popped up these pictures of a man I believe to be white. And then Google right here said, he's an assistant professor of African American and African Diaspora Studies at the University of Nevada, Los Angeles.
- [56:40]
A
This man is not white.
- [56:42]
B
This is not a white man.
- [56:43]
A
No, he's not.
- [56:44]
B
So I'm sorry, Tyler, for the assumption. And I'm also sorry that your name is Tyler Perry. Perry.
- [56:51]
A
Yeah, I'm sure that's a big joke with your students. I'm sure your students be like, I got Tyler Perry for Negro Studies.
- [57:01]
B
Like you just day one are like, this is my name now. If I hear a fucking heap about it, just consider yourself failed, bitch.
- [57:13]
A
Well, yes. Welcome to the Black athlete spring 2026. I'm Dr. Perry. Yes. Dr. Dr. Tyler D. Perry. Go ahead and laugh about it now, horse, because I don't want to hear what else about it.
- [57:24]
B
I'm giving you 10 to 15 minutes. Let's just do this now.
- [57:28]
A
Everybody laugh. Okay, let's get to work.
- [57:32]
B
Tyler Perry got a new lawsuit. I think. 77 million. Is that what this. Is that what we talking about? So there's another accuser that is stepped forward and is accusing Tyler Perry of essay. And it's not looking good, girls. I. I believe I read that there could be more to come. But this lawsuit is from a Latin boy named Demario Rodriguez. Lawsuit?
- [58:12]
A
What?
- [58:13]
B
To Wong Fu.
- [58:15]
A
Oh, my God, yes. Oh, little letting. Boy, why are you crying? Little letting.
- [58:20]
B
Why are you crying? God, that movie is fierce. In a lawsuit, Rodriguez claims that Tyler Perry approached him through a trainer at Equinox. They connected, blah, blah. He was invited to Tyler Perry's home in la, offered him role in a movie, blah blah, extra drinks. Says after drinks, they watched a movie where allegedly put his hands on Mr. Rodriguez legs, began rubbing his inner thigh right next to his penis. Apparently there's another allegation of an incident at a steakhouse where Perry allegedly, on the way to the house, reached into Meister Rodriguez underwear and grabbed his penis. I'm not gonna continue. It's gross.
- [59:20]
A
Yeah.
- [59:24]
B
On Hip Hop Wide, it says after Rodriguez managed to flee, Perry allegedly gave him $5,000 and apologized. Rodriguez apparently decided to sue him after the Derek Dixon thing came out. And yeah, Tyler Perry obviously is not going for this one either. Having recently failed in another matter against Mr. Perry, the very same lawyer has now made yet another demand from more than a decade ago, which will also be a failed money grab, is what his attorney, Alex Sherro said in a statement. So, Medea, look, I'm actually gagged by the fact that he's just still got these movies and stuff popping up.
- [60:07]
A
Yeah, who can stop?
- [60:08]
B
And the girl is just like, what are you talking about? I don't care.
- [60:12]
A
Oh, no, the church girls definitely don't care. No, the church girls do not care. They know Tyler's gay. They been known Tyler was gay. It's.
- [60:19]
B
They love sisters. They don't care.
- [60:21]
A
No, they don't. And, you know, Tyler entertains them, and so that's enough for them. Like, they. It. This is Donnie McClain. This is Donnie McClurkin with more money and more power and probably more alleged victims out there somewhere, but.
- [60:35]
B
And sandals.
- [60:37]
A
Everything I just said about Donnie McClurk and you just copy and paste onto this.
- [60:42]
B
More open toe shoes too, probably.
- [60:43]
A
Why don't you just accept who you are and stop doing in the dark? You don't have to grope on people and. And sexually assault them or take advantage of them. When you're just out about who you are and engage in consensual same sex relations, you can just do that.
- [61:01]
B
Probably also more like savage.
- [61:02]
A
Fuck.
- [61:03]
B
Savage wear.
- [61:05]
A
What is that? Draws nigga. Gay nigga.
- [61:07]
B
Draws Rihanna. Savage fenty.
- [61:09]
A
Oh, I thought it was like a brand of homosexual underwear or something.
- [61:14]
B
Oh, my God. Yeah, it is. I mean, that's what I said.
- [61:17]
A
Okay, well, good luck, I guess, to everybody involved.
- [61:22]
B
I guess we'll see what happens with that as well. Medea, just like the white boy. Yeah, right? And last but not least, that leads us to Cardi. You don't have to dance. She's dancing. You're dancing. All right, so I'm a chill.
- [61:46]
A
I'm a chill.
- [61:47]
B
I haven't even said anything yet. I'm a chill.
- [61:49]
A
I'm a chill.
- [61:50]
B
You're doing Maya choreography, like in the free video.
- [61:57]
A
No, I'm listening.
- [61:58]
B
Single sex scene.
- [62:02]
A
Literally that. Exactly what I'm doing. Literally that. I mean, I feel good, you know, it's a good day.
- [62:11]
B
Stephan Diggs, my living God on earth, what is happening? Do you know that I got jumped? I didn't know. I've been minding my business. You a jump? Not actually, no. But, like, this information was a jump. I saw you post on threads that everybody on TikTok was saying that you was right. And I was like, this has to do with.
- [62:32]
A
What else could it be?
- [62:32]
B
So I went to go, you know, peruse the Internet and see what was going on. Okay. Did this man have three kids last year?
- [62:45]
A
Did, did, did.
- [62:49]
B
Okay.
- [62:52]
A
Within months of each other.
- [62:55]
B
Okay, all right, so that happened. And then, you know, we got that confirmation because he, you know, did a quick stop by to the different baby mama's houses, I guess and took pictures by the tree with a baby and then dipped and went to the next one and whatever. And so, you know, that's. That's a lot. And I got that information after I read about him reportedly strangling his personal chef.
- [63:26]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [63:27]
B
Because she said, can you pay me for the work I did?
- [63:30]
A
Money you owe me. Yeah.
- [63:32]
B
And apparently was like, you don't have to see me no more because you got a circus. Like, she described, like, his living space or whatever the fuck you got going on there as a circus. They got into it. The. I'm not gonna lie. The. The text exchange I laughed at because it was so egregious. It was like.
- [63:57]
A
So I was just like, what, niggas?
- [64:02]
B
I'm like, God. So, okay, Cardi's defending him. Cardi's also. She's going to the game in vintage chanel. She's rehearsing 10 to 12 hours a day, she said, for tourists. What, five kids?
- [64:23]
A
Cardi?
- [64:24]
B
Yeah. Is it five or four? It's four. Four. The baby she just had is the fourth one, right? Okay. Yes. Four kids. All right. So, Cardi, this is the way I'm looking at it, right? Two baby mamas is not wild. You know what I'm saying? Especially for a hood bitch. Everybody love Erykah Badu. So I think what you do is you're gonna have to get into your natural hair era, okay? Get you a pack of incense. Matter of fact, your own branded Cardi incense. You're gonna do a deluxe edition of that new album called Bronxism. Okay? Natural hair, turbans, okay? Patchouli, and we're gonna go fully into our neo soul hop era. Hip hop and neo soul, okay? That's gonna be our marketing direction as a form of distraction. Now, on the. The flip side of that, what we're gonna do is we're gonna work really, really hard on a spirit that we named discernment. We call her discernment. And we're going to use that to make sure that the baby daddy number either remains at 2 or that 3 is where we're like, no, you have to understand. I ate, I prayed, I loved, okay? Now my stay, I meditate in the mornings. I'm doing my crystals, my sound bath, and you don't understand. Look, my actions, they're showing that I'm growing and learning. That's all I'm saying. Two baby. You know this. Two baby daddies for a hood bitch, we're just right on the edge of wild, okay? And for four kids, two. Let's look on the bright side, right? We just have to come up with a plan. What did Loretta Devine say in Kingdom Come? You gotta come up with a plan. You gotta come up with it soon. So here, that's my suggestion. Bronxism. I am the drama. The deluxe re release remake, remaster edition. Okay? And you just. On the vinyl of it, you're going to have. You're gonna be smoking a long pipe like cruel and de vil by the end of it is gonna be a blunt. And then you're going to have candles surrounding you. Each of them scented after your breasts, your breasts, milk. Because the babies are the. The heart and the soul and the focal point. You're welcome.
- [67:03]
A
I don't really give a shit how many baby daddies she has. That is the. That's not my number one concern.
- [67:12]
B
Well, what the fuck is your goddamn idea? I worked really hard on that pill.
- [67:15]
A
No, no, no. I love, love your work, love your contributions, truly. But my. Where do I even begin with this? It's just so. You niggas were so many mad y' all were.
- [67:31]
B
You ever seen it mad?
- [67:33]
A
No, I haven't.
- [67:34]
B
But you did see it. Well, no, you didn't come with this like in chapter one, it.
- [67:39]
A
Chapter one.
- [67:39]
B
No, you didn't. There's one part where they get stuck. They get stuck in the house.
- [67:44]
A
No, it's so fierce.
- [67:46]
B
Welcome to dairy. So fierce. Oh, so fierce.
- [67:48]
A
No, I'm not looking at that.
- [67:49]
B
Cheers. There's one part where they're stuck in a house and there's these three doors that are like painted. These words are painted in blood. And it's like scary. Really scary. Not scary at all. Or some shit like that. They pick. Not scary at all. It's like a girl cut in half. It's just like all three doors are bad. So when you ask where to start, it's really just. There's horror beyond each.
- [68:16]
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, exactly. And so my issue is less with the number of baby daddies and the quality of the baby daddies. It's about the fact that you keep reproducing with horrible people. Why do you do that? You keep reproducing with emotionally immature men who do not prioritize their children. They do not prioritize fatherhood in their lives. I don't know why you do that. It hurts the kids. Y' all were very, very irated. Me. Ooh, you mad ass bitches made me trend for weeks. And all this when I didn't do nothing but tell the goddamn truth. I didn't do nothing but tell the truth. Stephan Diggs and this whole chef situation. And then Cardi jumping into it. Why would Cardi tweet about the situation? Why would Cardi post screenshots from the chef talking about. Oh, I'm so sorry. With the girl's name in it, mind you. So now you've leaked this. Lynette, I guess, is the chef's name. I don't know why you decided to. To publish that and share that with the rest of us. I don't know why you're jumping into it when this is a legal matter between him and that lady. Why are you even online defending that or talking about it at all? Why are you spending time every day going live to talk to fans about whatever the this drama? Like, I don't understand it.
- [69:46]
B
Girls would be doing that talk about anything.
- [69:50]
A
But yeah, you. I. Y' all got mad at me because y' all are also emotionally immature. Because y' all also choose horrible baby daddies. Because y' all also need to grow the fuck up just like Cardi does. She. And I'm gonna tell you this. If you don't find a therapist and work on your issues. Cause you got issues, baby. Most of us do. But the fact that you keep choosing these terrible people to reproduce with, even though you know they're terrible in advance, that's a sign something's really wrong. You know, Offset was a horrible father. You knew he didn't take care of them kids and didn't really spend time with them before you came along. And what did you do? Gave him three more. Yes, because he didn't. He had already three or four kids before Cardi was with him. You knew that he wasn't really an active father because both of y' all talked about how he didn't really have those kids around, didn't really coordinate with the different baby mamas and all that. And then Cardi came in the picture and was like, no, you gotta do better family, blah, blah, blah, that she pushed him into that and gave him three more Stefan Diggs. All you had to do was google him. I pray you at least googled the before you let him nut in you. However many times I pray you did. Stefon Diggs, Ben had allegations been called a been called grimy. Why you gave these niggas kids, I don't know. But if you don't work on your shit, Cardi, eventually you gonna end up just like Nikki. You gonna end up just like that bitch. And it don't have to be drugs. It don't have to be a rapist baby daddy and a rapist brother that you defending. But the combination of extreme wealth and extreme fame and insecurity will be your downfall if you don't work on your shit.
- [71:45]
B
I mean, if a nigga implants transphobia and homophobia into her, then yeah, she probably will be as bad as Nikki. But other than that, I don't see well.
- [71:56]
A
And 10 years ago, nobody would have said this about Nikki.
- [72:01]
B
I would have. I heard Nikki say faggots ages ago. Like, are you kidding me?
- [72:05]
A
You're gonna end up in a space where you. Because you're not addressing your issues, they're only going to compound. They're not gonna go away. People don't emotionally mature simply because they grow older. People don't emotionally mature simply because they have children. The children and their well being was always the point. For whatever reason, y' all fixated on calling me mean and harsh, as if the things y' all were saying I was cruel for were not Cardi's own direct quotes. It's almost like you niggas also learned that day that she can also be mean and cruel and dismissive and harsh and all these other things. The shit y' all are mad at me for, most of it is Cardi's own quotes. I just could not. So I took my time to really just sit back and be like, yeah, I was right. And yeah, TikTok is showing me all these videos of people like, I guess, you know, I guess Crystal did have a point. Yes, yes, I did have a point. Children deserve better than this bullshit. And she going on, on Twitter or Instagram Live or whatever, talking about, well, what you bitches want me to do? Y' all getting a little too mean about it. What you want me to do? I can't put the baby back in my pussy. Duh, you knew that already. You knew you couldn't put a baby back in your pussy. That's why I said, if you don't believe in abortion, you need to believe in contraception. That's not a radical thing to say. Be mindful about how you bring kids into the world. Emotional abuse and emotional neglect are very fucking real.
- [73:34]
B
I get it, though. Only because girl, like, she didn't have the fucking kids. Her kids are going to be taken care of financially, obviously. We know that the cop, like, they are still going to. They're still going to deal with unnecessarily negative consequences of these decisions.
- [73:57]
A
Right?
- [73:57]
B
Right. And will hopefully through their mother, specifically because I don't give a fuck about Seven dicks personally, hopefully their mother having therapy, staying in therapy, and then one day having therapy. They will, you know, be able to learn from these things, jump over those hurdles and things like that. I'm just like, girl, she is a bird. Like, we sher if love and hip hop reruns on right now of this lady with her old. Her old teeth and shit like that. She's not fucking. She's not an Obama, bro. Like, and if Sasha or Obama was out here pregnant by a fuck nigga, I would be like, okay, girl, what do we. What do we learn from this? Let's apply this and move the fuck on. Like.
- [74:43]
A
But that's the. This is what I'm saying. I hope you do call a therapist and I hope you do work on your shit because you can't teach your kids things that you don't know. You can't teach emotional maturity and how to regulate your emotions and respond appropriately to situations when you don't know how to do that your damn self. So I hope you do go to therapy so that your children do have a shot at learning those skills, because right now it's looking extremely unlikely. Between Stefan and Offset and you, it's like 15 children just rich as fuck. But then what? But then what? Money's not all that they need. And that. This is the. It's just so crazy. It's crazy to be repeating myself like this because this is what I said then and it's like, now y' all can see it. Oh, okay, okay. Don't know why it took this for y' all to be like, oh, I guess it is important to choose your baby daddies wisely. Yeah, I guess it is.
- [75:38]
B
I don't know either, because I guess it is the differences either.
- [75:44]
A
It's just quite strange that this is what made y' all realize that. Maybe I actually had a point. But yeah, I'm gonna always advocate for what children need and what's best for them first and foremost. So I. If you were mad, I suggest you either get over it or stay that way. I'm never going to apologize for. For being correct. Don't know. I can't.
- [76:14]
B
Everybody's asking you can't think of a better way.
- [76:16]
A
And I don't need yalls apologies either, because I One thing about me, I will stand completely alone. And I mean by my solo dolo, as long as I know not just that I'm correct, but I'm saying something that is for the greater good. Again, a lot of y' all felt hit because you're also just as immature as Cardi is because you also have baby daddies just as immature as hers. A lot of you, not all of you, but quite a few, quite a few of you felt hit because, I mean, it's also about you grow up. It's hard work. I've done it myself. I've been in therapy nine years this month. I'm not talking out of my ass. I'm not talking from a place of trauma like so many of you suggested. Well, I actually feel like it's a little bit of projection coming through there, girl. Most people are emotionally immature. Most of you are emotionally immature. Most of you have at least one emotionally immature parent. It's the number. In my opinion, emotional immature is the number one problem on this planet. If everybody grew the fuck up and learned how to manage their feelings and take some space between how they feel and how they react, we would be living in a much better world. And no, it's not your pussy your choice, because your children are affected by your choice. You have minor dependent children who are affected by the decisions you make. And they don't stay children forever. They grow up and become the world's problem. Y' all out here on social media every day complaining about dating, complaining about work, complaining about other people. And why do people act this way and that way? Because they're emotionally somewhere between 3 and 16 years old. That's why. So, yeah, nine years in therapy, plus going to get a master's degree in mental health counseling. Yes, I have learned some things about what people need to be. Happy, healthy, secure in themselves. An abusive father and a. And a neglectful mother. Ain't it? So maybe you can hear it this time.
- [78:28]
B
Well, on that note. Oh, Malia has freestyling on the radar.
- [78:32]
A
Who?
- [78:33]
B
Mona Liero.
- [78:34]
A
Oh, did you hear Dochi's new song with Old Boots?
- [78:38]
B
Where the fuck have I Been? Yeah, it's great.
- [78:40]
A
I love it. I cannot wait for her album she got and, you know, I just really love a girl who puts it in the music and doesn't go online every goddamn day to clap back at people and read tweets and respond to them. She was on Spaces the other day for hours. Took a break and came back to to. To go back and forth with you nobody ass niggas. The tour starts in one month.
- [79:03]
B
Nikki does it, JT does it. Like, a lot of these girls get on those group chat thingies, and it's not even always gossip. Sometimes they're just on there being like, oh, what's your favorite song? For which I think of the single and things like that, and I just. As someone who don't want to talk to anybody. Ever find that peculiar? Not even. But so, like, when it does get to messy points, I'm like, why is anybody doing this? But she's not the only one who does it. All these bitches do.
- [79:34]
A
No, but that's the. I mean, yes, but my point isn't that everybody does it. Like I said, most of you are emotionally immature. So I'm not shocked that a lot of other rappers also spend their time going back and forth with their fans online instead of working. But you have a tour that starts in a month. Is. Do we not have any bigger priorities? I know she spent some time. Not the one that I heard she was talking about the Barbs because the Barbs spread this rumor that her father had sexually assaulted some teenage girl. And so she was defending her dad, which I don't even get into that because the Barbs will say anything. Why you even let them? Rob, stop. Anyway, I would have let the. Oh, yeah. And argue with Tasha K. Going back and forth with Tasha K again over Stefan Diggs talking about a who owe me money. Why are you even talking about me? Which is true. Go after your money. I don't know why Tasha K. Is online. I don't know why Tasha K. Is speaking on any goddamn body. I also don't know why this is Cardi's priority. Why don't you try growing up and focusing on the things that matter? And she said something similar like, oh, well, one thing about me, a nigga's never more important than my kids. Or a nigga is never more important than my work. That comes first, blah, blah, blah. Okay. And yet every day here you are on a live or something, going back and forth with these nobody ass niggas. Okay, okay. Well, we'll see what that tour looks like. I'm genuinely wishing you the best on the tour. I hope it's good. I hope it's not like I predicted it would be a few months ago when I said, you just gonna get up there and, you know, rap and let everybody else do the work.
- [81:21]
B
I really hope it is tired boots like you're going to like, of course you are. You're going to be tired.
- [81:29]
A
You have two infants, two babies. Wave. Who is like, what, five or six at this point? And then culture, who is eight or nine, something like that. You got four kids. I'm sure they'll be with you the whole time. You'll have all your support and all that and you'll still be tired. So.
- [81:44]
B
Yeah, you would be tired if you didn't have four kids.
- [81:46]
A
Exactly.
- [81:47]
B
Just talking about herself. She's gonna be tired.

A
And she. She was on Instagram Live earlier today talking about. It ain't no Beyonce budget for production. So don't be looking. Nobody's confusing you and nobody's confusing what you can do and what Beyonce can do. But are you going to be giving a show or are you going to be up there rapping and everybody else on stage is giving us the show? That's my question. We'll see.

B
All right, we have returned. It is time for letters of the listening variety.
- [84:17]
A
Indeed. Send your questions to asktheread gmail.com. we may read them aloud on the show. Our first letter this week comes from Simone, who says, my fiance and I are facing an impasse regarding the guest list for our Upco wedding. I want to exclude his brother's wife from the invitation list. The reason for this is that she consistently refuses to engage with me socially. Yes, his and and she put in parentheses, the brother is also the best man. So, yeah, she consistently refuses to engage with me socially, going no further than a brief hello. There has been no conflict. She simply does not converse with me. If I ask her about herself or what's going on in her life, she'll answer, but there's no back and forth. I doubt she even knows my name. My fiance. It's a little dramatic, but okay.
- [85:08]
B
Can you imagine?
- [85:11]
A
My fiance is Hungarian and his family is small. Although his brother's wife speaks English fluently, she is the only family member who never attempts to talk to me or ask me any questions. His brother, on the other hand, is very warm and always makes an effort to get to know me. They did invite me to their wedding a few months ago, but I believe it was purely out of a sense of obligation. I think I'm being reasonable because I wouldn't let a friend bring a plus one for somebody that they haven't dated long enough or that we don't fully know or have met. So why should we change this for her? My fiance says that excluding her will create drama, but I feel I'm being reasonable. He has acknowledged her behavior is mean spirited in the past, but he excuses it as shyness and said she took years to warm up to him. I find this to be a poor excuse for a complete lack of basic manners. And I am unwilling to have a guest at my wedding who will not speak to me. In what world is it okay for an adult to be this rude?
- [86:09]
B
I do think, Tara, this one.
- [86:12]
A
I do think that because I grew up in a southern black household, it was always seen as extremely disrespectful to act the way this woman did. What are you doing in Hungary? I. She's not in Hungary. She's in the U.S. the family.
- [86:23]
B
No, she's. Well, Hungary is in her. You know what the fuck I'm talking about.
- [86:27]
A
I've told my fiance that he needs to discuss this with his brother, but he has not done so, and invitations are about to be sent out. I am intent on sending a clear message by not including her. And from now and until our wedding, there will not be any more chances to interact since we don't live in the same country. I also do feel this speaks to what she is setting up. I also do feel this speaks to what she is setting up. The dynamics to be for the future. Am I overreacting, or is it reasonable to save my money while also slighting her? Thanks, Simone. Simone asked for our help, brother.
- [87:11]
B
Simone. This is really how you starting my year? Our letter year?
- [87:17]
A
You sound like this is how you.
- [87:19]
B
Wanted to get the game started.
- [87:24]
A
Yeah.
- [87:24]
B
Fuck out of here. All right, I'll just say two things. First thing, it's your wedding. I believe that. I was. You know the funny thing? I was just saying this to myself, like, maybe two days ago about Mona. Leo. Because maybe it was like, our anniversary or something or. I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. She was posting pictures from her wedding again. And I just looked at it again, and I'm like, this man really got a. You know, dressed up in pink. Everything was pink. They look so happy. I'm like, that is exactly what the bride wants. Let's just do that.
- [88:08]
A
Love that.
- [88:09]
B
So I believe you kind of should respect the wishes of the people getting married as best as possible when they're getting married. That's one, two. You are tripping. This is so fucking stupid. Are you serious? Who the fuck cares that this lady don't talk to you? You don't even live in the same country. Why do you give a fuck? And if you're the man you're marrying, his brother is the best man. Why would you like. Of course he's gonna bring his wife. Girl, who cares if she hikes up her skirt and urinates in your cake? Then, yeah, who brought this bitch? Now she has to get jumped. Oh, I wouldn't even let someone have a plus one if it wasn't I. Listen, maybe it's because I don't care about, like, if I were to get married, I wouldn't really give a fuck about a wedding. That would be solely up to who I'm marrying. If he wanted to have a wedding, whatever. All right, great. Let's talk about it.
- [89:22]
A
He or she.
- [89:22]
B
Otherwise, bae them. Who knows, right?
- [89:30]
A
I just had to.
- [89:31]
B
Actually. A stud could really take my heart.
- [89:33]
A
I mean, and I believe that. I believe she could. Don't let her have a pretty smile in a backpack it's over.
- [89:42]
B
So. So this isn't about me. What I'm saying is I think that there's like, who gives? I just don't understand. Okay, so she's fluent in English, so it's not language barrier that's the problem. Your fiance is telling you it took years for her to warm up to you, but it's like, it's not his mom. Yeah, it's not your mother in law. It's not even your sister in law. I mean, I guess it's just.
- [90:13]
A
She is. Yeah, but.
- [90:15]
B
Yeah, but like, not by blood. By marriage. Like girl.
- [90:19]
A
Right, right.
- [90:21]
B
Furthermore, you get along with the brother. The brother is the brother and the brother is the best man. Just let him bring his fucking wife. Who gives a shit? And then they're going to go back to wherever the fuck it is that.
- [90:33]
A
They live, back to Hungary, right after this.
- [90:38]
B
It's not like y' all have Sunday dinner. What the fuck? Who cares? Yeah, build a bridge and get the fuck over it. If she's like, now, if she eats you every time you. I don't know if people know what they mean. Like, if she look you up and down nasty every time she's around, you know, if she's just like, has a stank attitude, then I could understand being like, I don't want her at the wedding. And I would probably ask the fiance to have a conversation with his brother maybe. Right, but you said that y' all are cordial. She just doesn't speak to you.
- [91:14]
A
Right. She doesn't engage.
- [91:16]
B
And again, if y' all hung out all the time, if y'.
- [91:19]
A
All.
- [91:19]
B
If it was giving, like Pam and Tommy and Cole, and they just open the door and walk in and say, what's for lunch? Then I can see how this might be bothersome. You have no relationship and you don't know when you gonna see this bitch again.
- [91:30]
A
Right?
- [91:31]
B
Who gives a shit? What are you talking about?
- [91:33]
A
And it's clearly not that deep on her end because they invited you to their wedding.
- [91:37]
B
Hello. A couple months ago.
- [91:39]
A
Yeah, just a few months ago. I. I agree with everything you just said. Every word of it. Simone. I think sometimes we, as Southern black Americans, raised in probably religious households, we tend to take this sort of thing a little too seriously. We tend to take it personally. Yes. Politeness and overly giving, overly generous. Oh, what can I do?
- [92:01]
B
Remember when we first started going on tour after living in New York for however stretch, and we went to go do some store shows in the south, and we just walk into Walgreens and someone'll be like, oh, hi. Have a good afternoon. Like, oh, wait.
- [92:13]
A
People like, I forgot y' all speak.
- [92:15]
B
Like, acknowledge the lives of other people with positivity and kindness.
- [92:18]
A
Right out of nowhere, Like, I didn't even have to say nothing. Y' all just, Yeah, I do. And I. I mean, I. I think sometimes we can take that a little too far, and we don't allow for people to not perform in that way. It is for so many people who, you know, in the south or whatever, that is sort of like how you're expected to act. And so if you don't do it, people take it personally. But sometimes people are just shy. Sometimes they're not chatty. Sometimes they, you know, they seem closed off or cold or distant or whatever. And it has fuck all to do with you. When your fiance said, I think she's just kind of shy. It took her months to warm up to me. For me, that would have been more than enough.
- [93:00]
B
That would have been it.
- [93:01]
A
More than enough. Yes. I don't. I don't. I think if you explicitly exclude this woman, you are going to create such a mess that is really you. You haven't given us any justification for causing this kind of drama again. She lives in another country. They're gonna come for a weekend, be at your wedding, give a gift, take some pictures, and go right back home and be gone.
- [93:35]
B
And then you get to have your honeymoon and fucking your Hungarian man, and plan out your life. Yeah, whatever.
- [93:42]
A
Right?
- [93:42]
B
To your point, maybe. Maybe if she was also from, like, your hood, your city, whatever, or the south, it'd be like, what the fuck is up with this bitch? Completely different culture.
- [93:54]
A
On top of Hungarian white woman on.
- [93:57]
B
Top of your fiance saying she's shy. I had this situation with it. I just wasn't fucking tripping.
- [94:04]
A
Right, Right.
- [94:07]
B
I'm that way, too. Like, I. When I was home for. For Christmas, there were a couple cousins that I'd never met that came over for Christmas dinner or whatever, and I was just like, I don't want to. I don't want to make small talk. And, like, I'm anxious. And so I, like, I went out, I said my little hello. I had dinner out there, and then I went back into, like, the living room by myself, and I was on my MacBook, and one of the. One of the boys came in to, like, charge his phone, and he came back up and said something to me. He was like, you're a little shy. Don't. Yes, I am a little shy.
- [94:47]
A
That's so sweet.
- [94:48]
B
It's all Right. It's all right. I was like, okay, so he understands.
- [94:51]
A
Yeah, everybody's not the same. Shy, right? And I would rather you be yourself than put on some big presentation and act just to appease what you think I want you to do. I don't need all that from you. When I went home, my family's huge. We always have a bunch of family friends, people who are not kin, but, you know, it don't matter. And one of the aunties like that, I walked past her to go hug my mama, mind you, I walked past her and she was like, you don't see me. Where my hug at? Hello. And I was like, oh, hey, girl. But I didn't want to say, baby, I actually can't even remember your name. Like, what? Hello?
- [95:31]
B
Why do they do that?
- [95:32]
A
Yeah, I don't know what that is about them, but, but like, simmer down, simmer down. Simone. I, I, I'm sorry, baby. Of course it's your wedding. You can go against your husband if you want to and exclude this woman, but I don't think it's worth it.
- [95:50]
B
I don't either.
- [95:51]
A
I just don't.
- [95:51]
B
It would leave such a bad taste in people's mouths. It would just be. I just think it's unnecessary. I think if anything.
- [95:58]
A
Yeah, no, go ahead.
- [95:59]
B
Just consider her your brother in law's slash best man. The best man of the weddings plus one.
- [96:09]
A
That's exactly what she is. Like, she.
- [96:11]
B
Because they're married.
- [96:12]
A
They're married and they invited you. If she hated you, I'm sure she would have said that black American bitch not coming in my wedding.
- [96:21]
B
I think it's the southern part. Like, I think that you kind of hit the nail on that.
- [96:24]
A
I think it's that because we take.
- [96:26]
B
That so strong, you're accustomed to. Yes. It's like, so what are you trying to say about me? Or how do you, you feel some type of way about me that you act like this when it is very likely that she is.
- [96:35]
A
That's just them, baby.
- [96:36]
B
Shy.
- [96:37]
A
Or maybe she's just the type to not chat much. Like, maybe she's just quiet me. You can't be quiet in a black southern home. You cannot.
- [96:49]
B
Talk about it.
- [96:52]
A
Be reserved.
- [96:53]
B
You cannot. Harassment.
- [96:58]
A
Will not let you sit in the corner and read a book.
- [97:00]
B
Oh, my God. Like, what is wrong with shutting the whole fuck. Oh, man, I like it.
- [97:12]
A
Yeah.
- [97:12]
B
Contrary to what you might think, this is for entertainment purpose purposes. I shut up. Do you know how many people over my lifetime have been like, you are surprisingly quiet in real Life. I don't have anything to say. I'm not working. I'm also not kafiri.
- [97:30]
A
Right. In these moments, I am not in front of a camera. I'm not on a mic. My personality on this show is pretty much also what you'll get in real life. But if I don't have nothing to say, I'm not somebody to. To fill the space either.
- [97:42]
B
Like, thank you.
- [97:43]
A
I will let the quiet.
- [97:45]
B
Thank you.
- [97:45]
A
I absolutely will, baby. I will just sit there and be quiet. I don't.
- [97:49]
B
I'm not a completely different person. But you're. I'm not round the clock going ran songs ranch on like, I don't know what the fuck y' all bitches I was gonna say.
- [98:01]
A
I'm quiet screaming and hollering and. Right. It's not a live episode of the Read. Every time I come around, like. Right.
- [98:09]
B
Cause you ain't a living single. Shut up. Like, I don't.
- [98:11]
A
Yeah.
- [98:13]
B
You walk into a room with a. With a catchphrase.
- [98:16]
A
Right? Oh, my. Like, that's what you want. That was. Come in and remember Thea? Oh, yes, Thea.
- [98:24]
B
That was the season. Yes.
- [98:25]
A
Oh, Thea was excellent. You know, I was only on one season.
- [98:29]
B
God, it was good.
- [98:30]
A
God, it was good.
- [98:31]
B
Yeah.
- [98:32]
A
But, yeah, I would let this go, baby.
- [98:34]
B
I really would just let her come.
- [98:36]
A
Yeah. Best of luck to you. I'm gonna cut the letters short. We're only gonna do one more since we spent an hour and a half dragging them niggas. So this last letter comes from Jason, who says, hey, Kiff here. And Crystal, I absolutely love the show. Y' all aren't vets, but you be keeping these bitches in check. I'm a 42 year old gay man in the Midwest, and I'm trying to navigate this messed up dating world I live in. I met a guy on the apps and met a guy on the apps, and we actually went on a couple of dates before hooking up, which is a rarity in gay culture. And for me, as a result, I slipped and fell into some feelings. I told him, and he said that he's not looking for a relationship right now. I understood, and we continued to kick it as friends with benefits.
- [99:24]
B
Ooh, that might not have been the way.
- [99:28]
A
Fast forward. And now we've been hanging out off and on for eight months. Oh, Lord. Yeah, he's kind of aloof, which is perfect for me because I can't stand a person who's always up underneath me like that. During this time, I continually made my feelings known. And while he didn't verbally reciprocate, he did show signs that he was interested or at least not put off by the idea. Like he would hug me extra long when we said goodbye, talk about places he wanted to take me, and shows that he wanted us to watch together. He was also going through some rough times with his job and always used that as an excuse to not want to pursue a relationship, saying he wouldn't feel like he was contributing in that sense. Now mind you, I'm perfectly successful in my career and I did not want or ask for this man to invest one single coin in me. I have always made my own way and I don't need or want that from a partnership. I offered to loan him some cash for bills to help out.
- [100:24]
B
Jesus Christ.
- [100:25]
A
Now I never come off money I can't afford to be without. And I wasn't pressed about getting it back right away, assuming that our relationship and eventual could be lifelong friendship was strong enough that a few hundred dollars shouldn't matter. So Christmas came around and all of a sudden he's harder and harder to get a hold of. Text messages went unanswered and hangouts basically became non existent. I finally got a text back saying Merry Christmas and I went outside of my character and told this man that I miss him. The very next day I get a text from some bitch saying that she's his girlfriend and she wants to know the nature of my relationship with him.
- [101:06]
B
Wait, wait, that's not where I saw this going.
- [101:10]
A
She said they've been official since October and she was concerned seeing my text since he keeps deleting stuff from his phone before she can see it.
- [101:18]
B
This is serious. This is so fierce. This is so fierce.
- [101:21]
A
I told her that he hasn't really been communicating with me effectively since September, so that actually makes sense. Also that since he clearly chose you, how I know him is no longer relevant because fuck that man, you can keep him. I gave it a day before I sent him a text with the screenshots of my conversation with his girlfriend and asked, something you need to tell me? No answer. I waited another day. Still cricket. I sent another message saying how I'm not mad, but if you considered me a friend at all, you could have just been a man and told me you found someone who meets whatever you're looking for. Clearly you've been avoiding me because you knew how I would respond. But once more I was paid in dust.
- [101:59]
B
I feel like I'm riding passenger in a car that's about to get pulled over for A DUI.
- [102:05]
A
I'm beyond done with. I'm beyond done with this fool playing me like my name is Sony. But part two, part of me wants to be real petty and send him a Venmo request for the remaining $500 this little bitch owes me if you.
- [102:19]
B
Don'T get your gay ass on and out of my face.
- [102:21]
A
I wonder how his new girlfriend would feel knowing he's driving her around in the car that I gave him the down payment for. He.
- [102:27]
B
What the does. Why are you mad at her?
- [102:30]
A
He did pay me back some of what he owed me. But the Taurus in me just wants to close this chapter by getting the rest of my money. Do I let it go and count this? Do I let it go and count this money as an L? Or do I adjust my petty crown and go full Curtis Jackson love y' all down and would cherish any advice. Keep being you because y' all are out here saving lives. All the best. Jason.
- [102:54]
B
Jason, first of all, don't ever compare yourself to Curtis Jackson on purpose.
- [102:58]
A
Secondly, you don't want to act like that, ever. That nigga takes it too far.
- [103:06]
B
Come on. This was a whirlwind, wasn't it? All right, let's start from the fact that you gave this nigga money because what.
- [103:22]
A
To help him out and things, Bobby.
- [103:26]
B
Hey, what money he didn't ask for.
- [103:30]
A
And 500 of them things in God's.
- [103:33]
B
2000 and 20s, baby. That was an L from the beginning. You're asking, should you take it as an L cause you found out he got fish? Bitch, it was an L from the moment that you coughed it up. Yes, that money was gone. Furthermore, didn't you say that you weren't hard earned on it, wasn't pressed about it? Da da da da da. So now you want to write a Venmo in. You are going to about face out of mind. You're going to turn 180 degrees and you're going to walk the opposite direction from me because I don't know what you're talking about. What is it that you're talking about? Furthermore, Trey told you that he wasn't feeling it and he wanted to be friends. Now you press it because he got puss on your phone. Now you're trying to give Lil Kim talking about, well, shit, bitch, give it to him then. Now you're talking about some. Oh, ring the alarm. I've been through this too long. You better get your ass on one of these goddamn apps. Hinge, Sniffy, Scruff, Jax, Grindr, whatever and go on dates. Cause he want your nigga to begin with. I don't know why you gave his ass money. And I don't know why you tried to commit to some goddamn lifelong relationship with a nigga that paid it. What are we talking about? What are you doing? And now you mad and you want your money back. You should have wanted to keep it.
- [104:42]
A
Well.
- [104:45]
B
What was his name?
- [104:46]
A
Jason.
- [104:47]
B
Jason, I really believe in God. I do. Prior to what, you know, Donnie McClurkin and over there talking about. And you know what I'm saying?
- [104:56]
A
Right, right, right.
- [104:57]
B
It's some punks out here that love. I love God.
- [105:00]
A
You don't love God. Fuck wrong with you?
- [105:03]
B
So I would just go ahead and say that he has a plan for you, and it is leaving this man and his girlfriend alone.
- [105:11]
A
Jason, I'm gonna take it a step further and say you actually lost. When you told him that you had feelings for him, and he said he's not looking for a relationship, and you decide to keep sleeping with him, you actually started taking Ls in that very moment. You let that nigga fuck you casually for eight months. You told yourself, oh, he's kind of aloof. That's perfect for me, baby.
- [105:33]
B
Guess why.
- [105:34]
A
The whole time and this over the course of this eight months, you kept saying, oh, yeah, I'm really feeling you. Oh, yeah, I really like you. And he kept being like, well, I'll give you a long hug, and we can watch. Abbott elementary is on Wednesdays.
- [105:52]
B
This is an episode of heated rivalry on. So if you want to just go ahead and get into that.
- [105:56]
A
And you said, okay, well, he's not verbally saying it, but he do want to watch movies with me. You deluded yourself, baby. You did. You did. You did. You wanted to believe that maybe he was gonna come around. Some part of you really thought that eventually he would. The feelings would be reciprocated and y' all would be in this place. That's why the woman texting and being like, what's up with you and my man? That's why that threw you off so bad. And that's why you like, well, I wonder how she would feel about me paying the doll, first of all. I mean, she's got her own issues. If you have to go through your nigga's phone, I've said it a trillion times. Your relationship is already a mess. You already got issues if you gotta that.
- [106:38]
B
And y' all is simply the divine.
- [106:40]
A
Y' all chew me up every time. But I'm not wrong about that. It's something going on if you all feel like you got to do it. But anyway, you sent.
- [106:48]
B
I would do it to look for something funny. You know what I mean?
- [106:54]
A
No, I like jokes. Like, me.
- [106:56]
B
I don't either. I don't think I know what I'm talking about either. Never mind.
- [107:08]
A
You just said that to say it, but yeah. Jason, long story short, I do believe you played yourself in this matter.
- [107:19]
B
You did, baby.
- [107:20]
A
A Venmo request for your remaining 500? Yeah, why not? I don't really care about that part of it. I think you're trying to, but it sounds like you're trying to downplay your feelings, even to yourself, or trying to downplay how pressed you really are about it. And, you know, I just feel like, as a friend. Did that man say y' all were friends?
- [107:38]
B
Did he say how old he is?
- [107:40]
A
42. 40. 42. 42. He did. So whether he's, you know, down low or openly bisexual or closetly bisexual, I don't know.
- [107:55]
B
But say he in the Midwest.
- [107:57]
A
Mm. Yep.
- [107:59]
B
It's probably not giving oh a wealth of dates.
- [108:02]
A
Probably not. Probably not. And I get it. Like, I.
- [108:05]
B
Maybe you need to go on a trip. Well, you go do a little Puerto Vallart, a little tulum.
- [108:12]
A
Oh, oh.
- [108:13]
B
Get your back broke.
- [108:14]
A
Yeah.
- [108:14]
B
Go to Brazil, Come back, start fresh.
- [108:16]
A
Have a good time. But, yes, yes, the gays be in Brazil. Heavy, heavy, heavy.
- [108:23]
B
Speedoed down, thongs out.
- [108:29]
A
But I. You know, whether you send him this Venmo request for the rest of your money, I don't think that even really matters. He pays it or he or he doesn't, and I don't think that's really a big deal. I. But going full Curtis Jackson and adjusting your petty crown is like, for what? This was never your man. This was never even your real friend. Did y' all ever hang out without fucking or kissing or anything sexual ever? Even once? I. I would let it go. I would say to myself, hmm, in the future, if I have feelings for somebody and they don't reciprocate them, I'm not going to continue to sleep with that person. As hard as it is to cut them off at that moment, I'm going to save myself this emotional turmoil, this embarrassment, and not be in this position again. That's what I would do if I were you.
- [109:23]
B
I was going to say, you know, to that point, it gets easier with practice. This is why I asked you how old you are.
- [109:30]
A
Well, should have been practice, but just because you're 40 doesn't mean.
- [109:33]
B
Yeah, this Is. Yeah, yeah. And there's never too late to learn. So what I think that you should learn is the power in that next bus, the transit system. There's another one on the way. You can hop directly on it. You're just going to have to just go, like, you vibing with him. You sound, like, really infatuated with him. And so, you know, you are in your Fifi's. And baby, we have all had a clown nose on.
- [110:00]
A
Absolutely. Oh, baby, I have been in this situation. I've been in this scenario before. So I'm not judging in that way. But I am saying you continuing to text him after you heard from the girlfriend was crazy. And then really getting mad because he.
- [110:19]
B
Didn'T respond with a screenshot.
- [110:22]
A
Oh, my God.
- [110:23]
B
Like the girlfriend didn't owe him an explanation.
- [110:28]
A
What? That nigga was just dick. You was just dick or a hole or whatever that's. That is you.
- [110:34]
B
And he decided to stay friends with you. But that doesn't mean he obligated you to. Obligated to keep you in the loop with whatever he is doing in his dating relationship. Because you aren't involved.
- [110:44]
A
And you need to be very clear about when you're just friends versus you became friends through having sex with each other multiple times. And now y' all are cool and cordial.
- [110:56]
B
That needs to be.
- [110:59]
A
If y' all.
- [110:59]
B
Next TED Talk.
- [111:00]
A
If y' all never hang out without fucking, that's not your friend. Not just your friend.
- [111:06]
B
A TED Talk by Krystal. Friendship. Friendship from fucking. Like, yeah. And how the mistakes we make and learn from on the way, you better weave them.
- [111:26]
A
You better weave them together. Cause that's what this is. Yeah, you.
- [111:32]
B
Jason.
- [111:33]
A
You gotta let that one go, Jason.
- [111:35]
B
Jason said, this is.
- [111:37]
A
I mean, get your money or not. The money is irrelevant.
- [111:40]
B
And that man said.
- [111:43]
A
That man said, please leave me alone. I'm trying to nurture my relationship. He. You were legit. Just a way to pass the time. He was. For whatever reason, maybe he's closeted. I. I genuinely don't know.
- [111:58]
B
But it don't even matter.
- [112:00]
A
I understand your feelings. I understand being hurt. Yes. I. I don't understand. What were you gonna do? Post these screenshots on, like, Facebook and tag him and his girlfriend? Or, like, what? Go full petty? How? Make it worse? For what?
- [112:17]
B
For what?
- [112:19]
A
Yeah. Did you get the girl?
- [112:24]
B
Shut the fuck up. I think about that all the time.
- [112:27]
A
Yes.
- [112:28]
B
Cause she chewed the job. She ate that.
- [112:32]
A
She did.
- [112:33]
B
She ate that.
- [112:34]
A
You gotta do all that and that man's still not gonna text you back.
- [112:39]
B
And then you just look wild. And assuming you are of sound mind, you will eventually be so embarrassed, like you are going to cringe if you keep playing these games.
- [112:54]
A
Please don't do that.
- [112:56]
B
Please stop.
- [112:59]
A
But I am wishing you the best because again, I've been in this situation and it hurts to feel played. It really does. But you have to realize even all.
- [113:07]
B
That tapped out of. Cause he said. Didn't he say at the top of the email, like, it's not even normal for me to catch feelings or whatever or something like that? It sounded like he is accustomed to fucking getting it off and then moving forward. So maybe you need to go.
- [113:26]
A
But you caught feelings for this man. You kept sleeping with him even though he didn't feel the same way. That's kind of how you ended up in. In this situation. But.
- [113:35]
B
Good, get back into your old ways and go on some more dates and have some more sex. Yeah, but just leave that man, his wife alone.
- [113:46]
A
I mean, his girlfriend probably broke up with him after finding out that he had been fucking a nigga for the better part of last year. But regardless, you.
- [113:55]
B
But you don't even know if you had a DL.
- [113:57]
A
You don't know people, right? And so people, it is understandable to hate the feeling of like, damn, I got played. But you have to look at this situation and see how you played yourself.
- [114:10]
B
I'm sorry, babe. With love.
- [114:12]
A
Yeah. You duped yourself into continuing this. You had feelings and you didn't want to let it go, and that's your right. But this is. This is why we tell you not to continue a sexual relationship with somebody you really have feelings for and they don't feel the same way because somebody will get hurt. It's not just casual sex because you have feelings that makes it not casual. So you live and learn.
- [114:35]
B
Like, I don't know how long you just can't continue to have sex with someone.
- [114:39]
A
No, no.
- [114:40]
B
Over a period of time without catching feelings. I just don't believe it's possible.
- [114:44]
A
Well, I don't know about that, but I don't.
- [114:51]
B
What.
- [114:52]
A
What I don't think is a good idea is to sleep with somebody knowing you have feelings for them and they don' the same way.
- [114:58]
B
I just don't think that you can have sex with someone, especially good sex with someone continuously over a long period of time without like. I'm not saying feelings in the sense of like, you're gonna act crazy or be possessive or anything, but I think that you will eventually deeply care about that person. Well, I think if that even come to, like, love them as a person. You know what I mean?
- [115:22]
A
I think if that were true, then this nigga that Jason is writing us about would have caught feelings at some point. Amongst them, eight months. I think there are some people who can't have sex without feelings getting attached. But there are some who absolutely can come over and dig you out and go home and not think nothing else about it, no matter how many times you do it. Which is why we have to protect our own hearts. If, you know, you the type to get attached to a nick. And it makes sense. Sex is very intimate. It's very personal. Like, it makes sense that your feelings deepen. But again, you, you. We've. We've berated you enough at this point.
- [115:59]
B
It's the journey.
- [116:00]
A
It's the job. Good luck in 2026 getting back on the apps, baby. But you gotta go ahead and let this one go.
- [116:10]
B
She's starring in a Lifetime movie by Mary J. Blige. Tisha Campbell, I think Makai.
- [116:20]

- [117:47]
B
Okay, we're back. It's time to wrap this up with the read. I'll try to make two things very quick. One, I wanna talk really quickly about y' all harassing these Somalian day care workers in Minnesota.
- [118:04]
A
Oh my God. Insane.
- [118:06]
B
So some 23 year old dumbass white boy was alleging via his dumbass white boy YouTube channel that there was a daycare or daycare centers in Minnesota that were didn't have any children present and they were affront to fraud people out of money somehow. He even went with the camera crew, I think, even with the news at some point, to go harass these people at the daycare, demand to be let in to verify whether or not there were children in there, and basically just pester and encourage other conservatives to pester black people, brown people who are just working and trying to live their lives. Right. Since then, investigators have obviously confirmed that there are children in these daycare centers and that these people are just running a business and looking after children because somebody needs to in this godforsaking hellscape wasteland that we call America. But I just want to say, outside of that, first of all, fuck y' all for even putting these people in the position where they had to then be under investigation and have people come in here with these children and putting them in a position where these kids are probably like, what the hell is going on? Who is this? I'm hoping at the very least that investigation was respectful enough of the fact that this was a child's prostitute, you know what I mean? I'm hoping they at least had professionals go there understanding they're dealing with children and not traumatize them further by going in there like they're ICE or the military or whatever. But can I guarantee that happened? Would I put money on the fact.
- [119:57]
A
That you'd be a fool?
- [119:58]
B
Hell no. I'd be a broke fool. So fuck y' all for even putting these people in that position. Furthermore, how motherfucking dare every like, bitch, you're the biggest fan of an actual felonious, grifting, disgusting, criminal bitch. But y' all always. Did I say felonious? Mm, mm, yeah. Still, that too too times. But you will, like, run, is it? You will always run to go and be like, these black people, these brown people, these Mexicans, these Muslims, these Nigerians, these Venezuelans, they are out to get the white man for all their goddamn worth. Meanwhile, this fat ass cracker in the goddamn White House is literally taking the food and medicine out of your mouth and hands. That white boy should be in jail. That white boy should be in jail. He should absolutely be charged with something. I don't know, because again, as I said, we were talking about Drake and steak. Why didn't they call it that. Drake and Steak n Shake when we talk about that. I don't know the law, bitch. I'm not Maxine Shaw, but there's got to be something in there. I know that she would get it done. He needs to be in the prison.
- [121:48]
A
Exactly.
- [121:50]
B
Because how the fuck dare you? Each and every single one of these white boys ways and white women, Donald Trump and all his fucking antenna waggling cohorts are consistently destroying your life and your health. And you're like, look at these Somalians. There are no children in there. Meanwhile, children, firing squad, lethal injection, electric chair in front of his family. So fuck you for that. Also, y' all not too much on Stranger Things. Like, I don't really understand. None of y' all are giving me now. I would give the finale, like a solid eight. Room for improvement. I'm satisfied. I enjoyed it. Highs, couple lows. A lot of y' all are doing a little too much for me with these. Like, I. It feels like some of y' all can't have a show end without trying to find something to complain about. Now, obviously, everyone has different opinions and all your opinions are fair. Well, all your opinions are yours. But see, shit like, oh, you know, putting pictures of Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wolfhard, like, screen grabs from the episode, like. Or Caleb McLaughlin and Sadie Sink who play Lucas and Max. Oh, they don't have chemistry, these kids. They don't have chemistry. Just cringe. Yeah, they don't have chemistry. First of all, I disagree. But regardless, bitch, you get your ass up there and do it well. You get your ass in front of those cameras and act then, bitch. You can't even pretend to like your co workers now. What the fuck are you talking about? Shut your ass up. All you got is I'm bitch about people bitching about Erica, played by V. Exceptional, immensely talented, gorgeous, phenomenal and groundbreaking. Stunning Priya Ferguson. Oh, Erica deserved more. Oh, she needed to be a binger. She didn't have a bigger. Why does she have to be so sassy and da, da, da. Erica Sinclair was. Was literally like Kiara, everyday black girl around the way. But she also was like a minor character that came out of nowhere and went from just being the delightful, cute little sister that was always frying her brother for being a dork, and we just delighted at that to having excellent character progression, being in more scenes, eventually being a regular and evolving from making fun of her, her, her brother and friend for being dorks to being the baddest dork of all of them. Saving the Day countless times. That was another critique. Oh, why the black girl always gotta save the day? What the. As opposed to what? As opposed to what if hell is. Is coming to Earth and there are evil monsters that are coming to. To. To kill everybody? And she got the recipe. As opposed to what? Furthermore, everybody had a hand in this. That was another thing where people were like, oh, it was too easy to take down Vecna. They were trying to take this man down for like, 18 months straight or this thing down for 18 months straight. They were doing crawls constantly. Couldn't find him. They had to plot how to break through a wormhole and then jump him after fighting an epically sized monster. Easy. Where everyone saved the day.
- [126:02]
A
What?
- [126:02]
B
Why are y' all bitching in my kitchen? And I don't understand how you'll then be like, just watch Madea's Big Bad Christmas or whatever the fuck. Like, how are you that? And also the Hollywood Reporter. I hate y'.
- [126:16]
A
All.
- [126:17]
B
I hate everybody. That's it. I'm finished.
- [126:21]
A
Okay, I'm gonna take us back to Minneapolis real quick because of everything that's been going on there that is just absolutely batshit with ICE and everything. ICE, who just earlier today killed an American citizen and tried to say that the woman was weaponizing her car. And Jacob shout out to the mayor of Minneapolis being like, bullshit. Get the fuck outta my state. But anyway, nobody's shocked. This is what ICE does. I would like to say before I get into this Hilton thing, if there are any Venezuelans who want to come over here and kidnap our dictator of a president, please do. I will not stand in your way. Just come get him, girl. He's at McDonald's. Come get him, please. This shit is insane. This shit is in. Every day in this administration is. Is insane. But so I posted ugly. He's hideous.
- [127:17]
B
He.
- [127:18]
A
Anyway, ICE posted on Twitter screenshots and this message of how this Hilton hotel in Minneapolis canceled the reservations of ICE agents, DHS agents, and said that ICE is not welcome in their hotel.
- [127:40]
B
And I don't have the rights to do that.
- [127:42]
A
Well, so it is independently operated, but it's part of the Hilton family, so. But it was an independently owned Hampton Inn franchise hotel. And so the manager of that hotel does not accept reservations from ice. They want ICE to get the fuck out of their city. The fuck out they stay. Understandably so, if you ask me. But. So people saw this on Twitter and across social media and was like, shout out to Hilton, girl. We're giving all of our business to Hilton. That's Right. No DHS in our city. No DHS in our state. Hilton said, oh, wait just one cotton picking minute. We ain't say all that. We did not say all that. Anybody with a valid credit card and ID is welcome to stay at Hilton Properties, ICE included. And so now they are. And so now they are moving to cut their relationship with this hotel. It will not be a part of Hilton hotels any longer and ever. Peak Hospitality, which owns that hotel, apologized on Monday for the managers. Right. So it was really. Actually nobody who had the real power was in favor of keeping ICE out of the hotel. It was just.
- [129:08]
B
That makes way more sense.
- [129:09]
A
The people who were right.
- [129:10]
B
Hilton.
- [129:11]
A
Right, exactly. And so Hilton immediately was like, oh, while y' all celebrate.
- [129:16]
B
Not surprised.
- [129:17]
A
Cut this shit off right now. Fuck no. Well, we love ice. We love Trump. Ain't no way in hell we.
- [129:23]
B
That is so fierce that people, A surge of people were like, let's go spend our money at Hilton. And they were like, bitch, not unless you're gonna shut your ass up about it. Like, that is cunt. Cunt.
- [129:38]
A
That's what took me.
- [129:39]
B
Take our money. Keep it.
- [129:42]
A
And I even saw comments from people being like, oh, well, if y' all watched Real Housewives, then you would know Kathy don't play that. Paris and what? And Nikki don't play that. Those people are.
- [129:53]
B
Do y' all watch that show?
- [129:55]
A
Those people are Hiltons. They are.
- [129:59]
B
Kathy's been accused of being racist on that show.
- [130:02]
A
Nikki Hilton is a Rothschild. Now that's even more money than Hilton. You think these people are not fans of what Trump is doing. Please be fucking for real. Don't think because Kathy had a couple of funny lines on a TV show that that bitch is not totally in line with whatever Trump want to do. They love this shit.
- [130:25]
B
I cannot believe who said y' all must not have watched that show.
- [130:29]
A
Yeah, I did see. I saw one comment that was like, oh, y' all must didn't watch. Because if you had watched it, then you would know. Nikki don't play that. Paris and. And Kathy don't play that. Yes, the fuck they do. You really thought the Hiltons were gonna come out and be like, yeah, no ice in our hotels. No ice in our properties, bitch. They couldn't tell y' all to take your broke ass to somewhere else quickly enough.
- [130:53]
B
I don't know what.
- [130:54]
A
Wrap it up.
- [130:58]
B
Ms. Harris Blitz. Like, West Hollywood pride and DJ'd and it was fierce, and she played like a remix espresso. And you got your life. You don't know that lady, like.
- [131:10]
A
And she don't know these people.
- [131:11]
B
And what about she is anything?
- [131:16]
A
She's a white woman who is wealthy. Not just. Not Numa money. They big wealthy, baby. And they only marry other wealthy people and they keep that shit going. I don't care how cool Paris seems on her Netflix show or DJing or, you know, the. The Kathy, whatever. Kathy did that. Them two seasons on Housewives or whatever. I don't know. It don't matter. They are not going against them financial interests ever.
- [131:47]
B
So Hilton, y' all keep saying Nicki Minaj broke or she got money issues and she went out with that white lady and said, boy should be boy and a girl. Girl. Like, I don't understand why y' all think right.
- [132:02]
A
So as despicable as I find this and I will be. And then so people were like, oh, let's go to Marriott. And then they were like, oh, no, Marriott also donated to Trump.
- [132:12]
B
And, baby, just stop talking about it. You're not like.
- [132:18]
A
Here'S the thing.
- [132:20]
B
You better go find a black.
- [132:22]
A
It's going to. So everybody's like, okay, girl, Hyatt, let's go to Hyatt. Like, what? And I get it. I don't want to spend my money with these people either. But at the very top of all these businesses are hardcore Republicans who don't give a fuck what y' all think, period. So I don't.
- [132:39]
B
I mean, I'm sure there are a couple of online databases and stuff that just. Yeah. Every day be like, here's a list of all the people or all the, you know, big businesses. Johnson and Johnson. I don't know.
- [132:51]
A
Right.
- [132:51]
B
But yeah, I'm very surprised that people are gagging, I guess, that y' all.
- [132:56]
A
Really thought, oh, yeah, shout out to Hilton, girl. Absolutely not. Baby.
- [133:02]
B
That is so funny.
- [133:03]
A
I mean, and I hate it, too, but. Sorry. There was a. There was a 0% chance that Hilton was actually going to let that slide. They said, we are cutting Kathy.
- [133:13]
B
As if Kathy did not. I have black friends. Some of my friends are black. On Bravo. Are you dizzy?
- [133:21]
A
And I'm sure that manager, whoever had that policy has probably been fired. They probably. Of course, I'm sure. So spit on. You won't be able to stand for a corporation. Okay, now get that through your heads. You will not be able to stand for a corporation. You just.
- [133:36]
B
They're not only fired in they fury cups at the bitch on her way out, like, do your best.
- [133:44]
A
Spend your money where you can. Be as mindful as you can. But this idea that any of these corporations cares more about us than they do dollars. Be for real.
- [133:52]
B
This is America that is so fierce that the company chose backlash.
- [133:57]
A
Yeah, they were like. They were like, oh, no, no, no, no, no. What, y' all niggas thought we was.
- [134:03]
B
On y' all team keeping any of that liberal money to us, Bitch.
- [134:09]
A
Oh, no, no, no. Don't Before y' all think we rock with the people. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Really Raggedy. But I expect nothing less of wealthy white Americans. This is who they are. So that is going to wrap up this week's episode of the Read. Check us out on social media at. This is the Read. Our website is. This is the read dot com.
- [134:34]
B
You know something? I just thought about. What's her name? McMahon from the WWE is.
- [134:42]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [134:43]
B
In the American government now. So she's probably helping provide Erica Kirk with the pyrotechnics, with the stage people and all of this. She probably got leftover equipment from wrestling anyway.
- [134:54]
A
Oh, yeah, our Secretary of Education.
- [134:57]
B
Why does that bitch keep coming out on stage like she's Iron Man?
- [135:02]
A
Because nothing matters. Not one fucking thing matters.
- [135:07]
B
But yeah, and they will try to get Cardi eventually at her lowest, at her lowest, when she's just real sad. Erica Curtis is gonna pop up like Voldemort on the block. Like, I have something for you. Don't you hate trans?
- [135:25]
A
Don't you feel a little. I mean, Cardi was just a guest on Drag Race. I mean, I would, but Nikki did, too.
- [135:30]
B
Nikki was on Drag Race.
- [135:31]
A
Baby, see a therapist, please. I'm actually literally begging you heal whatever you got going on.
- [135:37]
