Pop Culture & Current Events Roundup

[13:16 – 28:39]

1. Halle Bailey’s Legal Drama

• The restraining order Halle has against DDG is discussed, including his petty attempts to win her back through music and social media, and why public diss tracks are not healthy or mature forms of communication.
  • “Why do you keep making songs... When y’all were together and you didn’t like that she had a love interest in a movie... Why are you making a diss record to your girlfriend for doing her job?” – Kid Fury [15:02]

Viral Church Scandal: Marvin Winans’ Cash-First Christianity

[38:07 – 51:08]

• The Controversy: Video of pastor Marvin Winans turns viral after he publicly rebukes a churchgoer who donates $1,200 instead of the demanded $2,000 during a church fundraiser.
• Reactions: Kid Fury and Crissle eviscerate Winans and other church leaders who hustle congregants for money, question where building funds actually go, and highlight the audacity and ungodliness of his tone.
  • “For the building fund of this shit… you want a cybertruck?” – Kid Fury [41:24]
  • “You want a bitch to come up with $1,000 plus bring another bitch with a thousand dollars too. Would you also like a unicorn?” – Kid Fury [47:19]
  • Crissle (re: Winans’ definition of stewardship): “You have a limited amount of time with your children and this is how you choose to stay up.” [138:54]

Lawsuits, Religion & Celebrity Delusion

[51:41 – 77:17]

1. Rockmond Dunbar vs Disney

• Dunbar’s loss in court over Disney’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate is a jumping-off point for a deeper discussion on Black actors, spiritual beliefs, and ignoring plain, scientific facts. The hosts break down Dunbar's weak legal argument (“religious exemption” despite taking synthetic testosterone and many other medications for non-religious reasons), his public outburst, and the wider implications for actors of color in the industry.
  • Crissle: “You’ll take medication and medical interventions to keep your dick up... but not to keep you from developing [COVID]?” [60:06]
  • Kid Fury: “That's what made me, again, go, like, whoosh. The people he reports back to. Because you had to... look this payday in the face and decide to make the decision he did.” [63:18]

Listener Letters & Relationship Realness

[84:33 – 120:52]

1. Relationship Rut

  • “You might be asking something that he's not capable of giving... and that's fine too.” – Crissle [99:56]

2. Coming Out & Lesbian Joy

• Happy with My Stat is elated in her new relationship but fears coming out to her religious family. Crissle suggests coming out first before introducing the girlfriend and highlights the common pain of queer exclusion from family. Kid Fury notes the hope in surprising reactions and building a “found family.”
  • “It could create a situation where some people disappoint you. It could also create a situation where you grow closer to some members of your family.” – Kid Fury [106:51]

3. Jealous / Self-involved Friends

• Susie is struggling with a friend who cannot be happy for her. Both hosts recommend gentle but direct conversations—ideally in-the-moment—and stress that a real friend should be able to both celebrate and commiserate, not just center their own experiences.
  • “Not saying anything isn’t helping you or her. So how you say it, I think, would be what you are left with.” – Kid Fury [114:33]
  • Crissle: “When Angelica says, oh, I wish I had a singing baby, can you say something like, you know, sometimes I feel like you really have trouble being happy for me?” [116:34]

The Reads: Where the Gloves Come Off

[122:42 – 139:44]

Kid Fury’s “Spooky Read”

• He roasts Get Out’s protagonist Chris Washington for his inexplicable willingness to risk everything for a white partner, skewering the trope while highlighting how Jordan Peele’s film gets under Black viewers’ skins so viscerally.
  • “What about white woman is like, yeah, I'm gonna take the risk, I'm gonna try it out. White men don't even like them.” – Kid Fury [125:14]

Crissle Reads Tammy Roman

• Tammy Roman is dragged mercilessly for appearing on Kandi Burruss’ podcast and admitting she refuses to meet or acknowledge her daughter’s girlfriend, even barring her from the graduation. Tammy’s justifications (citing “confirmation bias” and “protecting my mental health”) are rejected as homophobic and selfish.
  • Crissle: “That isn’t what that [confirmation bias] means… If your mental health is affected by your daughter having a girlfriend, that's called homophobia. And you need to work on that.” [133:55]
  • “Your money is from going on TV and acting like a bitch...” [135:29]

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “You’re asking a bitch to come up with $1,000 plus bring another bitch with a thousand dollars too. Would you also like a unicorn?” – Kid Fury [47:19]
• “Of all the shit you, Tammy Roman have done on camera, this is where you draw a hard line...” – Crissle [137:57]

Transcript

[Kid Fury]

Hey, y'.

[Crystal]

All.

[Kid Fury]

I grew up in a family of farmers. And something I learned at a very early age is the importance of a long lasting boot. Okay. Different lifestyles, different seasons. You never know what you might need out of your footwear. You might be just, you know, trudging along and things animals left behind as I once did, or yanking vegetables out of the ground. You need things that are built to last. And that's what L.L. bean has been doing for over a century. Making boots with a level of craftsmanship that proves not everything has to wear out. Okay, baby, father will, but these boots won't. Bean boots carry that tradition forward. Handcrafted in Maine with same care since 1912. Made with full grain leather, durable rubber bottoms and triple kneading, triple needle stitching that is built to last. These aren't shoes made for a single season. They're boots designed to take on years, rain, sleet, mud and snow. Plus come out stronger. Plus I just personally think they're pretty stylish. They're cute, they can go with almost anything and they make you look like you do stuff, important things, hard working things.

[Crystal]

L.L.

[Kid Fury]

Bean boots are simply best worn. Find your [e-mail] crafted to last, ready for the outdoors and timeless in style. Mint is still $15 a month for premium wireless. And if you haven't made the switch yet, here are 15 reasons why you should. One, it's $15 a month.

[Crystal]

Happy?

[Kid Fury]

I think it's so easy to fall in love. So come give me a call and we'll fall in love on the perfect mix of Saturday night and the rest of your life. Anyone with a heart would agree it's so easy to fall in love.

[Crystal]

You better sing.

[Kid Fury]

Welcome back to the Read. I'm Olivia Dean.

[Crystal]

And I am Shay Gilgeous Alexander. And this is the Read. Thanks for coming back.

[Kid Fury]

It is in fact still black. Still back.

[Crystal]

Correct.

[Kid Fury]

We're winding down in October, girlies.

[Crystal]

That's crazy.

[Kid Fury]

Planet Earth 666 still stands. And so we perpetuate this black fuckery in the name of the father, the son and the holiest Ghost.

[Crystal]

Oh, man.

[Kid Fury]

We're gonna start with black excellence. And I'm gonna do a fun one because I'm feeling spooky. I'm feeling spooky season. And I'm seeing one Chloe Bailey posting her Halloween costume. Chloe Bailey does the Halloween thingy. This is probably one of many Halloween costumes for Chloe Bailey because she posted this yesterday on the 21st of October. Baby, you got 10 more days. So I feel like you're not done.

[Crystal]

Yeah, there's a. She's finna have a different costume. Probably for the next 10 days.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, she's getting into her big bag. She posted I'm Foxy Cleopatra and I'm a whole lot of women. And the assignment was nailed. Yeah, assignment was nailed. It was terrible film. However, we honor the legacy of the black icon within the film.

[Crystal]

That's right.

[Kid Fury]

I don't like any of the Austin Power movies. Movies. I'm sorry. Even as a kid, I never got the, like, Mr. Evil. Everyone was so big on the Mr. Evil quote.

[Crystal]

Yeah, the Dr. Evil. Yeah, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, yeah. Dr. Evil. And like, I remember watching them and being like, this isn't for me. This isn't like. I. I get why you think this is funny. Yeah.

[Crystal]

I love them. But I tried to go back and watch them as like an adult who's been to therapy, and I was like, oh, this is deeply problematic. My God, the whole Dr. Evil and mini Me thing alone.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, it's all bad.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty bad.

[Kid Fury]

The fat Irish dude that always comes.

[Crystal]

In and tries to eat him, get in my belly. Oh, God. I eat. Yeah, it's very. You had to be there in the 90s, early 2000s.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, you did.

[Crystal]

You had to be there. Yeah, you did.

[Kid Fury]

If you weren't on the week of release, otherwise. Yeah.

[Crystal]

It does not age well. It really doesn't.

[Kid Fury]

It's kind of flirting with that Ace Ventura territory. You just don't go back there. You don't go back there. Ace Ventura, either one of them.

[Crystal]

The whole thing about Ace Ventura is transphobia. Like, the whole movie hinges on it. This is pretty bad.

[Kid Fury]

But even the second one, when nature Calls, when he goes to Africa, the.

[Crystal]

Wait, is that the one where he. Okay, I didn't see.

[Kid Fury]

He's searching for, like, a white bat.

[Crystal]

I didn't see that one. I didn't see when nature Calls.

[Kid Fury]

And you know he's afraid of bats. Oh, girl, please go watch this.

[Crystal]

Oh, no.

[Kid Fury]

Please go watch it.

[Crystal]

The way you said it, he goes to Africa to find a white bat. I know.

[Kid Fury]

He like an albino bat that was maybe, like, poached or something. I don't remember the full thing because I obviously have not watched this film in a very long time.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

But he is, like, among an African tribe.

[Crystal]

Oh, no. Okay. We can actually stop right there.

[Kid Fury]

You have to watch this movie. You have to watch it.

[Crystal]

It sounds like that.

[Kid Fury]

Just so that you can understand the decisions that these people made.

[Crystal]

What was y'. All.

[Kid Fury]

And they made this movie and they released this movie and people watched it and liked it.

[Crystal]

No, no.

[Kid Fury]

And it's another one of those things where, like, at the time.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Hilarious. I'm sure you.

[Kid Fury]

When I was a kid and my uncles introduced me to this movie, I thought it was hilarious.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

But I didn't make it that deep into my teens.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Before I watched. Watching it again, I was like, oh, this is. I can't believe they made this.

[Crystal]

Okay. Yeah, I think I'm going to skip that, actually. I do not think I'm going to.

[Kid Fury]

Please watch, like, clips of it. Please watch, like, a YouTube compilation of the most problematic.

[Crystal]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

I'll just get, like, a full. Because the way that the first Ace Ventura is problematic in, like, the transgender sphere.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Story world.

[Crystal]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

The sequel is kind of like that for black people.

[Crystal]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, indigenous people.

[Crystal]

Oh, no. Oh, God. Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Anyone that's not white?

[Crystal]

Well. All right.

[Kid Fury]

It's just like, I don't know how they made them.

[Crystal]

Okay. I also. Speaking of movies, I need to apologize to Susan Sarandon. Last week I said that I thought maybe she was a Zionist. Now I was like, isn't Susan Sarandon kind of problematic?

[Kid Fury]

Oh, yeah.

[Crystal]

You did say something. And I was corrected. I was thinking of Deborah Messing. Y' all know I'm Barbara Howard on the inside, and I do mix, you know what. Frequently. Right, right.

[Kid Fury]

I think that that's so.

[Crystal]

Honestly, it's actually, y' all fought for making more than one redheaded person famous, but, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

I think Susan Sarandon is quite a bit older.

[Crystal]

Well, that's none of my business.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. That was a happy thing.

[Crystal]

Not to me, she's not. So. My bad. Susan girl. I was thinking of another two redhead.

[Kid Fury]

White bitches that you don't think. Know what this to Literally.

[Crystal]

Literally.

[Kid Fury]

They didn't watch the stepmom.

[Crystal]

I mean, and that's the thing. Julia Roberts is also a redhead. Or was. She's reddish. Not as red as the mother, too, though.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crystal]

So I think that's why she sticks out. Plus, Julia Roberts, I'm like, an actual fan of.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crystal]

Susan Sarandon and Deborah Messing. It's just like if you end something that I've seen, then, you know, no shade.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, well, this is shade. And I don't care. Susan Sarandon is that girl.

[Crystal]

That's what I was told. I was like, oh, my bad, my bad.

[Kid Fury]

Legend Susan Serranan is her.

[Crystal]

So clip this.

[Kid Fury]

Deborah Messing is.

[Crystal]

Cause I'll never apologize for another white woman again.

[Kid Fury]

But Deborah Missing is more like sitcom.

[Crystal]

Yeah. I don't know her from anything other than Will and Grace. I don't know that she's done anything other than. Right, exactly. So my bad, girl. I got you mixed up.

[Kid Fury]

Serenity celebrated.

[Crystal]

And then I looked it up and.

[Kid Fury]

So I was a little like, damn, not Susan. But I've seen Debra Messing always poke her head out to be like, actually, she was crying.

[Crystal]

I saw a video of her Israel crying. Like, I feel like I'm coming back to my homeland and all this. And it was like, oh, girl, clean it up. Don't nobody give a fuck. Free Palestine, Free Gaza. That bullshit ass ceasefire that Trump was so proud of and all that shit.

[Kid Fury]

I didn't, baby.

[Crystal]

It lasted 48 hours. If that.

[Kid Fury]

I'm so tired of that.

[Crystal]

If that.

[Kid Fury]

It's like, why do we keep doing this?

[Crystal]

Leave me alone, bro.

[Kid Fury]

Why do we keep doing this? Benji don't even wait 48 hours.

[Crystal]

He really don't.

[Kid Fury]

It's like, I did not take that seriously because I was like, okay, we'll see how long it lasts.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

And it was not.

[Crystal]

Because this ain't the first time that a president has said, oh, a ceasefire. An agreement has been reached between Israel and Gaza, blah, blah. And y', all. It never actually sticks. Y' all go right back to bombing them people and blowing them up. So it's like actually gonna need y' all to, like, really leave them people alone. Really let them get back to their homes, really allow them to rebuild, allow them to live like they.

[Kid Fury]

And showed up talking to me.

[Crystal]

They're simply not going to stop. They have no plans of no intention. No, they're. They're trying to turn it into a resort. They trying to build a Disneyland on that fucking land. So my bad. Susan Sarandon was the point of this. Right? Right. Because nothing will prosper now. The Lake Lanier of the police.

[Kid Fury]

Imagine me going to the Tower of Terror. Bitch, suck my balls. But you know what? Again, none of my business. I'm just here doing the best that I can and I am zooming out. Right? You bitches are all you got.

[Crystal]

Imagine me going to Israel for any reason. Any reason? Did you see Azealia Banks? Stupid ass. Oh, God.

[Kid Fury]

In Israel, I'm giving a lot of the people up to God because I'm just here. I'm a spec.

[Crystal]

Okay, yeah, so one of billions. But so she. She's gone back and forth on Palestinians versus Right. So that. She's another one who. I think mental health issues are normally in the driver's seat over there. And her. Her right mind is somewhere in the trunk, if it's even in the vehicle. But so at first she was like, oh, yeah, I love Israel. I, you know, the fuck Palestine. I don't give a fuck. Israel's the best. Blah, blah, blah. And then she was like, damn, I've been in Israel for 72 hours. And people racist as fuck. Like, damn, I don't know what I was thinking, right? But then she flipped on it again and was back to, oh, God, I don't even know.

[Kid Fury]

She's kind of done that about a few different subjects.

[Crystal]

She's weird for a while. She's weird.

[Kid Fury]

So I'm never really sure where she's standing on that thing. And I also don't care because you're not. You don't. Like, you don't have a ticket to glory, right?

[Crystal]

You can just say do. Yeah, I'm not getting booked. Money is drying up. Times are hard. Israel is one of the few places willing to pay me. And that's why I went over there. Like that at least makes sense. This whole. Well, Palestinians deserve to live. Oh, no, they don't. Oh, well, actually, yes, they do. Oh, well, no, I changed my mind again. It's just draining and exhausting. Like, bitch, be for real. This isn't. To me, this is not a complicated topic at all. I don't even know what y' all mean when y' all say it shouldn't be like, what? Where's the confusion? Where's the. Okay, all right. So, yeah, that. I said, of course, of course.

[Kid Fury]

And, you know, the crazy part is, like, sometimes we're talking about. Sometimes we're talking about, you know, like, the Kevin Gates niggas of the world and stuff. And it's like, well, I. I know that you can't spell most words with four letters, right? So fine. But Azealia Banks reads books, so it's like, what's going on?

[Crystal]

I don't know what's.

[Kid Fury]

Why are you. What is like, oh, 2024, 2025, I'm in Israel and they hate my black skin. Oh, well, where did you think you were?

[Crystal]

Who did you think you were with like, bitch, look at.

[Kid Fury]

Anti blackness is like a global issue. Is something I would. Would have assumed you had some sort of awareness.

[Crystal]

I mean, just any. Just a one drop of common fucking sense could have gone a long fucking way. And she's another one who I don't think I'm yet praying when you have that much money.

[Kid Fury]

Have you heard about Rockman Dunbar?

[Crystal]

He's. He's on my list of people to discuss.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, yeah, we're talking about him. We're talking about him. We're getting into it. We're getting into it. I said we're getting into it. We're getting into it. Let's just get into the hot tops this week, babes. Chloe Bailey, you did this. You started this. Because I don't know how we got from your sexy hips and lips and tips and gold in your afro to Israel, right?

[Crystal]

Only us.

[Kid Fury]

But here we are. Here we are now in the pop culture segment of the program that we call hot tops. And since we talked about Chloe, let's talk about Halle. Last week, we spoke about her baby father putting out a song called 17 More Years, where he whined, cried, and opined about being her baby daddy and wanting her to pick up the phone. Yeah, and she won't because he ain't shit. Well, Halle don't give a fuck about that song. Don't give a fuck about 17, 18, 16, 20 more years. The judge has extended the restraining order that she has filed against him, and that's just up until November 5th. So it sounds like DDG. You keep running your mouth.

[Crystal]

Yeah, yeah. The judge said.

[Kid Fury]

We sent this YouTube link to the judge and said, nurse, she's out.

[Crystal]

The judge, he streamed that song and said, you know what?

[Kid Fury]

Three more weeks, actually. Yeah, just for that. Sit your ass down.

[Crystal]

Please learn to leave this girl alone. Leave her alone.

[Kid Fury]

Why do you keep making songs trying to, like, leverage your social platform or social support against her? When y' all were together and you didn't like that she had a love interest in a movie where she played an intellectual property. You were like, I'm gonna make a song about this nigga, and you holding his hand on the red carpet. I was like, man, I mean, what is this supposed to do? A, you being mad about this is stupid. And B, why are you making a diss record to your girlfriend for doing her job? Do you know how Disney would have looked at her if they would have been like, can you hold Prince Eric's hand in front of the step and repeat for the premiere? And they Would have been like, I'm sorry, my streamer rapper boyfriend doesn't like when I do that.

[Crystal]

What?

[Kid Fury]

I'm never getting a job in her life.

[Crystal]

He. The immaturity, right? The immaturity has been on display here for the entire time that I have been aware of this young man. So just remember with, like, the tiniest.

[Kid Fury]

Stretch of time where they were cute after Halo, where we didn't hear his voice even before then.

[Crystal]

Oh, okay.

[Kid Fury]

Like, when we first saw them, and we're like, I don't know who this little nigga is, but there was, like, a little tiny stretch of time where he was, like, cute with her. And, like, remember that? I remember that one clip where she was, like, training him into singing.

[Crystal]

Oh.

[Kid Fury]

When they were singing, like, Marvin Gaye.

[Crystal]

Okay. Yes, yes.

[Kid Fury]

And she was like, I do. And they were like, cute.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Because he actually hit a no. And she was like, okay.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crystal]

Yes, I do remember that.

[Kid Fury]

And he looked like he was just, like, really loving on this girl. I was like, I don't know who this is where he come from. Oh, he raps. Okay, fine. And then.

[Crystal]

And you know, it just don't last too long, does it, Cardi?

[Kid Fury]

This is what I'm saying. Like, I was. Anyways, I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna leave you alone. I'm gonna leave you alone this week. I'm gonna leave you alone this week. This. The album's great. So work Halle feet down.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Good for her. Amen. Oh, okay.

[Kid Fury]

I guess we can keep the Parkwood element going because I'm reading here that the. Who stole all that out of them? Dancers, cars, or people from the Cowboy Carter? Remember when Beyonce was in Atlanta and the cars got rolled and y' all pissed her off?

[Crystal]

Yes. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

And pissed her the fuck off.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Who did it?

[Kid Fury]

Jail, jail, prison and jail.

[Crystal]

Oh, so they. So this person is entrepreneur.

[Kid Fury]

I'm not gonna say his name because I don't want to, but you can. Mug shot first and last.

[Crystal]

You know him?

[Kid Fury]

No. His name's Kelvin Evans. I don't know what that does besides just, like. I mean, like, what can you do? He in jail, so I got me, like, whatever.

[Crystal]

Oh, yikes.

[Kid Fury]

But, yeah, the accused thief, Calvin Evans was indicted earlier in the week.

[Crystal]

Damn.

[Kid Fury]

And was his last week scheduled? They had a hearing scheduled for the 16th. Yeah, it looks like he was not getting. I mean, I don't know what he was thinking. You know, when it's robin season, especially in hot spots like, oh, nigga, Miami.

[Crystal]

Atlanta. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

New York. You know, just Metropolitan. Areas, big cities. When it's Robin season. Some. For some niggas, logic, good. Common sense just goes out the window. Like, I don't know why you would think that they were not gonna be on your ass. They were. And so now everybody know what you look like. They know your name and your face and who to blame if Beyonce never come back that way.

[Crystal]

And when I tell you they have the footage from when he broke into the car, they have the footage from the apartment complex. Because he was. Of course, he was in his niece's car. And so the niece was like, now, why the fuck am I in this? I let my mama use the car, and then my uncle took it from my mama to go rob.

[Kid Fury]

To go rob Strange, bitch. But I tell you, I'm never talking again.

[Crystal]

Yeah. This is embarrassing. Wow. Nigga, he looks young, too. I mean, he don't look old. I don't know why I was expecting.

[Kid Fury]

Like, an old man, but I'm probably older than this person.

[Crystal]

Yikes. Well, Kelvin Lanier Evans, I'm sure you regret the fuck out of that child.

[Kid Fury]

You found babies. Middleman.

[Crystal]

Name people. People did it.

[Kid Fury]

All right. Yeah. Damn.

[Crystal]

I don't think Beyonce is going to show no mercy either.

[Kid Fury]

Why? I don't care if she does or doesn't. I just try to. And not saying your name. And I don't even know why I did that, to be honest with you.

[Crystal]

But I wonder, did they even get into the computers and the hard drives to realize whose they had or they.

[Kid Fury]

Had to have known what. Where they were at and what was going on? That part of it, well, is up in the air, I would assume. It's like you just looking for valuables that you can steal. You're not going to go and just like. I mean, not. You can steal that you can sell.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Because I'm scrolling down, and it says the hard drives have not been recovered. I'm sure that's the main thing she wants back.

[Kid Fury]

Of course.

[Crystal]

What? Where is her flash drive? Kelvin, where is that lady's flash drive? Run her her shit. Yeah. You going to jail. You going to jail.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, one. 1,000. 1,000%. Without question.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Well, all right. That's what you get, nigga.

[Kid Fury]

The Brandi and Monica show has been on for, like, a week, and there's already drama. I don't. I don't know how this happens. I wish I could make this up. I wish that some of this shit was just sitcom fodder, you know, for like, some Truman show, like, reality, where I have no idea that everything okay. I had a sidebar to talk about a new Apple TV show that's coming out.

[Crystal]

A new one.

[Kid Fury]

I thought I'd watch a trailer. Yeah, this is a show called Pluribus. Oh, like, episode looks like a. For Apple tv. And the only reason I clicked on it was because I was like, okay, this name and Apple tv, it's probably gonna be good. Cause Apple TV almost never misses.

[Crystal]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

And I watched the trailer, and I was like, oh, this is a show. This is like a psychological thriller about me. Except, oh, in this show, the me is a white lady. But like this, it's very. I can't wait for that. It seems like it's gonna be good. Creator of Breaking Bad. So it probably is. Back to Brandi and Monica. Well, just Brandy.

[Crystal]

Interesting.

[Kid Fury]

She walked off. Watch the trailer. It looks like it's going to be.

[Crystal]

Well, I know Pluribus means many.

[Kid Fury]

Exactly.

[Crystal]

But I'm not seeing. Okay, all right.

[Kid Fury]

You don't really see, like, a synopsis.

[Crystal]

No, I'm saying a premise here. And now I see why you think that it's about you. Everybody's chilling.

[Kid Fury]

And that's dead on that. But that's dead on that.

[Crystal]

You. Okay, okay.

[Kid Fury]

And the trailer just makes it even. Morty, it's like, this show's gonna be fun.

[Crystal]

You're a mess. Stop talking about yourself like that.

[Kid Fury]

Brandy walked off the stage in Chicago in the middle of. Oh, what song was this? It was. I can't remember, and I don't want to play the clip right now, but she was literally mid song, mid performance, and walked off the back of the stage in the middle of the song, cut her mic off, and did not come back on the stage for the rest of the Chicago show. So Chicago people, like, there's a tweet from someone here. Chris CS Oh, Cesandreus. Imagine going to the Boy Is Mine tour and they never play the song.

[Crystal]

Oh, no, it was before they did the Boy Is Mine.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, it was, like, early in the concert. So they got mostly, like, Monica and a half because Brandi walked off in.

[Crystal]

The middle of the.

[Kid Fury]

Damn. Sure.

[Crystal]

Why did I think it was. I just assumed it was towards the end. Yikes. Oh, that sucks.

[Kid Fury]

Brandi walked off stage mid set, caught her mic mid sentence, and never came back. The girls were pissed.

[Crystal]

Yeah, I could see why.

[Kid Fury]

I went to the Chicago the Boys Mind tour stop, says Frozen Thunder. Brandi walked off stage and said something like, give me a sec, y'. All. We never saw her again. Monica came out monologued, sat, sung and left. No buying, no nothing. Screen went off, lights came on, and they told us to.

[Crystal]

Oh, no, wait. So they.

[Kid Fury]

That sucks.

[Crystal]

They refunded the tickets or they was just like, that's too bad.

[Kid Fury]

I don't think they'd be refunded anymore.

[Crystal]

Okay, well, now, come on, girls. We can't do that.

[Kid Fury]

Let me see what Brandi said. Brandi posted a. A cute little iOS press release. It's not the Notes app.

[Crystal]

Oh, okay.

[Kid Fury]

It's like a graphic designer went in here and gave her a little eye drop, you know, a little apple pencil signature.

[Crystal]

Somebody put in some work. Yes, that's right. They said we not just gonna screenshot this.

[Kid Fury]

I think this was drama. I think this was like a real. I think that something happened. I don't think this was drama, but I don't know.

[Crystal]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Okay. It says, to my dear fans in Chicago, thank you all for the overwhelming love, support, and most, most importantly, your prayers. I sincerely apologize for the abrupt end to last night's performance in Chicago after weeks of non stop rehearsals. Last night I experienced dehydration.

[Crystal]

Okay. She was sick.

[Kid Fury]

And feelings of want. Everyone involved agreed that prioritizing my well being was of the most utmost importance. I still made the decision to try and return and give it my all, despite not feeling okay with having to make some adjustments in the show. Being very technical, unfortunately, it was impossible. Fully connect sonically with the production. I really appreciate everyone's best efforts. That's another thing. When bitches is calling you like the vocal bible.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

And Bush queens of generations have been acting like nobody seems to.

[Crystal]

And they will fight about it. Yeah, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Like, of course you're going to be like, big tour, big moment against my former former rival. Sort of still kind of rival, whatever that was. Or with.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

I could imagine a light coming on and just being like, you know what? I just realized today that I can't.

[Crystal]

Do this in the middle of the show. Ooh, ooh.

[Kid Fury]

When your body is done, your body is done.

[Crystal]

That's true. That's true.

[Kid Fury]

And I can. It's like, if I feel like I'm going to pass out, it is possibly passing out on stage and scaring the fuck out of thousands of people.

[Crystal]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

Or getting off the stage and going to try and get myself together. And if they tell me off stage, don't go. Get your ass back up on that stage. It's probably best if I listen to them.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Assuming this is all true. Right?

[Crystal]

I mean. Yes. And I would assume because Brandi has been a professional for like 30 years that it would have to be something dire like that for her to walk out in the middle of a production. Like, that's just not something you do. I'm thinking about even us. Like, for me to cancel a show while it is in progress, it's because I can no longer sit upright. You know, Like, I literally physically cannot do the show. Right.

[Kid Fury]

Agreed.

[Crystal]

Oh, man. But I know y' all were disappointed. Poor Chicago. That's sucks. Oof.

[Kid Fury]

But to me, if I. And I can only speak for myself, but like, if I were a ticket buyer and this was a situation and this happened, I. It would suck, but I would be okay because I wouldn't want the bitch to fall out on stage because I want to hear baby.

[Crystal]

Right. Well, I wouldn't cuss her out sitting.

[Kid Fury]

On top of the world.

[Crystal]

I wouldn't cuss her out behind it. But I'm. I'm not going to be okay either. I'm gonna be quite. I'm gonna be upset. I'm gonna be disappointed and sad, maybe even mad. But I mean, especially so that's where I think the. Some of the not discrepancy, but some of the Internet chatter about it has been like, people didn't know what was going on, so it wasn't clear if it was like, is she sick? Is she just. Does she just have an attitude? Does Monica say something?

[Kid Fury]

Right, Exactly.

[Crystal]

So I would think that if they had to end the show early, somebody, not Brandi or Monica, but a tour manager or somebo, come out and say, unfortunately, we're having a health emergency. The show has to end. We appreciate you all so much. We're very sorry, but the show cannot continue. Like, I would just expect y' all to say something like that to the crowd so they don't automatically assume the.

[Kid Fury]

Worst or don't assume that that would be helpful.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Yeah, that's what I would have thought.

[Kid Fury]

I don't know what decision, but it sounds like the decision making process is like, for that. Yeah, it sounds like that would have helped.

[Crystal]

Right. And. But if Brandi posted this, like the next day. I mean, I. I just. If they not giving out refunds, I get it. Because that's.

[Kid Fury]

I think that they should do something.

[Crystal]

Something to your point, come back to Chicago.

[Kid Fury]

I would feel. I would feel less sour towards anyone in particular when I got the information here.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

But yet in the same girl, ticket.

[Crystal]

Prices for a concert. Money. Yes.

[Kid Fury]

Getting out of your good bed and leaving the comfort of wherever the fuck to go around to people where bitches still Getting Covid like, y' all forgot. It's just like, oh, and then I don't get to hear right titular song.

[Crystal]

A lot of y' all are getting hair and makeup done. A lot of y' all are following along. They want y' all to do because they want people to wear suits, which I'm not wearing no suit to this show. But what, you didn't hear that where Monica was like, everybody wear suits to the black. I'm not wearing no suit to that show. But, you know, people invest in shows like this, and so I really do feel. I do. I feel for y', all. And I. I think if y' all can't give money back, which I get because this is a lot of fucking money, I think y' all should at least reschedule it and then refund tickets for people who can't make their new date. I agree. It's not nobody's fault, but why should the fans be the one to, you know, bear the brunt of it, really? Especially if Brandi was well enough to then go back out on stage a couple of nights later, which it sounds like she was. It's like, okay, so go on and tack an extra date at what was supposed to be the end of this tour and come on back to Chicago, please. Like, something, something.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. I don't know how that works, but I would be dying to make it up.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Oh, God, I would be feeling so terrible my Christmas.

[Kid Fury]

I'm sure you feel like shit.

[Crystal]

Christ.

[Kid Fury]

Jesus Christ. Every time this happens to a performer where they literally have to stop a show because of health, I'm like, I know they must feel like shit because outside of you physically being in an emergency, a half decent performer is gonna go, fuck, yeah. Those people must be disappointed. And that sucks.

[Crystal]

Yeah. I would be beating myself up like, well, why the fuck was I even dehydrated then? That's my fault for breathing, too. Something. Like, I would find I would be whooping my own ass for this.

[Kid Fury]

Who brought this? Nature's bounty. I told you I don't need this.

[Crystal]

And why the wasn't I drinking Gatorade all day? Like, I would just be so with y' all at me. But, yeah, I o. I feel for. I feel for her, but I feel for the fans. I do. That sucks, baby. Hey, y'.

[Kid Fury]

All.

Speaking of things that suck, Dr. Wendy Osefo and her husband Eddie Osefo have made their return to social media with.

[Crystal]

That doesn't have to happen. That doesn't.

[Kid Fury]

It doesn't and it shouldn't. No, I don't think it should.

[Crystal]

For what?

[Kid Fury]

What did they okay, here go Wendy looking like she's trying to go to breakfast at Tiffany's, which is the last thing that you should be trying to be giving. And she posted in the caption of her Instagram and through it all, God remains faithful. Thank you for the. Thank you for the outpouring of love, support and Prayers for myself and most importantly, my family during this time. From who we are forever grateful. Tune in to Bravo TV tonight for a new episode of Real Housewives of Potomac. I am Eddie O. Posted a more appropriate photo on his Instagram. It's himself and his wife and his beautiful children. And on the caption of his Instagram post, it says, trust in the Lord, oh God, with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3, 5, and 6. To that I say, Wendy and Eddie, a false witness will not go unpunished. And he who speaks lies shall perish. Proverbs 19:90.

[Crystal]

Oh, wow. Not you digging in the book because.

[Kid Fury]

What are you talking about? Shut up.

[Crystal]

Why is God in there?

[Kid Fury]

What does he have to do with this?

[Crystal]

I these. They have such beautiful children. This is such a shock.

[Kid Fury]

They're gorgeous.

[Crystal]

Oh, my God, it sucks. Those poor kids. It's interesting that Wendy posted two pictures of herself, whereas Eddie posted the family looking, like, on vacation or something.

[Kid Fury]

That's quite interesting. I think so.

[Crystal]

And Wendy's comments are full of people who are like, oh, my God. Team Wendy, period poo. Yes, sis. Whereas Eddie's comments are. Where's the explanation, girly Pop? But what I just. Niggas love pulling God out when some shit like this happens. It's like, are you innocent? That's my question. Like, did y' all actually do this? Because if you guilty talking about trusting the Lord with all your heart, I know the Lord is looking at you like, had you actually trusted in me and leaned not on your own understanding, y' all would have never came up with this cockamamie ass idea in the first damn place. I've given you both more than enough. The blessings overfloweth in that home. So please don't act like I. I do not have a spirit of greed. I did not give y' all a spirit of taking more than what you already fucking have. So. Well, I really hope y' all are innocent, posting shit like this and bringing God into it, because otherwise this looks so. Well, listen, anything is possible. I don't work for the feds. I don't know what they have. Please, please, your face. I don't know what the feds have on you, but this bitch posted a.

[Kid Fury]

Photo like she on Greta Gerwig's Barbie talking about God remaining faithful and God.

[Crystal]

Oh, my God, it is Barbie. Goes to. Good.

[Kid Fury]

You don't even sound innocent. It is.

[Crystal]

It's absolutely Barbie. GH to the derby. Ass outfit.

[Kid Fury]

Yes.

[Crystal]

Yeah. And through it all, God remains.

[Kid Fury]

We're still trying to prove shit and still late.

[Crystal]

I mean, sure, God does remain faithful, but. But did you do this? I'm not interested in anything other than did you do this? There's that and I don't know, maybe your attorneys are telling you not to claim innocence, but it's just strange to me that you don't say, we didn't do this. Neither one of you say the charges against us are false. This will all be cleared up in court. Please allow us to have our day in court. Like, there's nothing like that. It's just, let's throw in some Bible verses and you know, a picture of the kids, right? It's a little weird to me, but.

[Kid Fury]

All right, it is also weird to me. I think it is also weird, excuse me, that Pastor Marvin Winans and many.

[Crystal]

Oh yes.

[Kid Fury]

Of his homies, churchgoers and friends.

[Crystal]

Let's talk about it.

[Kid Fury]

Are putting on the big cape. The mcu, the dcu, the boys, they're putting on all like the girlies have come to fight the big fight. Well, the Holy Justice League, okay, The Justice Congregation. All right, so Marvin Winans went viral this past week after clip came out of him basically humiliating the fuck out of a member of his church because they were doing some day of giving shit for church building, fund sanctuary, rebuilding, whatever, bullshit. And he formatted this in a way where it's like we're asking for you to come with a thousand plus a thousand. So like you have a thousand and you also bring someone who has a thousand with you. And if you don't, then you stand in this line and we gonna stand in order of people who have the most money. Then also he does indeed equal MC squared. So you have to think of that when you line up as well. Anyway, this one lady came up there with twelve hundred dollars and he basically rebuked her light skinned ass and told her to take her ass out the line because that's not what he asked for. He asked for $2,000. They have been on this man's ass. Oh yeah, rightfully so, in my opinion.

[Crystal]

Correct. Same same.

[Kid Fury]

Because where the everlasting fuck did you get the narrator? Since then, the woman in question who he embarrassed has defended him saying she was in the wrong line.

[Crystal]

Baby, you are a victim.

[Kid Fury]

His Marvin Winans mentee, Fred Hammond, a gospel singer from Detroit, said, you know, this is my church. And he posted like a extended cut of the footage, which Fred did nothing. It did nothing.

[Crystal]

Why are you saying that. Oh, you just need context. Do I?

[Kid Fury]

It changed nothing. It changed.

[Crystal]

So.

[Kid Fury]

For this, you know, there's been a lot of hustling around trying to maintain the narrative that there isn't anything. There isn't like a blood sucking leech like element.

[Crystal]

Exactly.

[Kid Fury]

These types of goings on.

[Crystal]

Right?

[Kid Fury]

And my two highlights for this experience have been, are you. Are you forgetting how much money a thousand dollars is? Are you hoping that niggas have forgotten how much money a thousand dollars is? $1,000 as a nigga in this economy, on this nation.

[Crystal]

For the building fund, mind you, the building.

[Kid Fury]

For the building fund of this shit.

[Crystal]

Like the church you've been building for two decades. Two decades.

[Kid Fury]

You want a cybertruck?

[Crystal]

Where's the money going, Marvin?

[Kid Fury]

What the fuck are you talking about? We have been, as a community, we have been memeing the fuck out of the black church building fund since before I was born.

[Crystal]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

So the fact that you feel like you can step your black bald ass in front of any congregation and ask for $1,000 plus $1,000 to me, and this economy is so past bold that I don't even know. I don't have. I don't think there's a word for it. It's just so brazen. It's so, like, venomous. And then for you to be like, 1200 isn't 2000. Fuck you and the land you call home, right? What?

[Crystal]

She was like, I'm working on the other 800. And he was like, that ain't what I asked you to do.

[Kid Fury]

That ain't what I asked you, nigga.

[Crystal]

So give me my. I don't see you giving me my fucking check back. I don't see that.

[Kid Fury]

Are we?

[Crystal]

Oh, no, baby.

[Kid Fury]

Bitch. My other part of it was a little more petty. And it's just like you already asking me for a ridiculous amount of money to go buy a cybertruck, right? Or go, you know, get some cigars imported or whatever the fuck. But you also want me to do arithmetic on the day of. Like, I'm not gonna do. Say how much money you want.

[Crystal]

Just say 2000.

[Kid Fury]

Just say 2000. 1000 plus is giving 1999. Just say $20. What the fuck are you talking about? But then stand in this line in the order of who has the longest hair and who would also wash my feet with theirs. You shut the fuck up. Anybody else shut up. Defending this. Shut the fuck up. You're not talking about. Here, come give this $2,000 for this organization that you have receipts and history and Memory of going back into the community. This organization that put them shoes on your baby's feet that's sitting next to you. Even then asking for $2,000 would be nuts. Everybody is broke. Bitches can't afford bread. Bitches can't afford eggs. So that would still be bold.

[Crystal]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

A sanctuary building fund for a building that's 20 years old. Goddamn old. That look like it's standing up just fine to me. And you trying to cuss me out. Bitch and get on Instagram and Facebook.

[Crystal]

Live and defend yourself because what do Marvin's house.

[Kid Fury]

Both of my testes.

[Crystal]

Yeah. What I want to know what does Marvin's home look like? The outside and the inside? Who furnished that house? What sort of vehicles do you have? Is this Christ like behavior? Marvin Winans.

[Kid Fury]

That's what I'd love to know.

[Crystal]

Do you think Jesus would tell the congregation to first of all separate themselves by who was giving the most? It's actually when you think about what it took for the average person who lives in Detroit to come up with $1,200 to throw away.

[Kid Fury]

Insane. Insane. Insane.

[Crystal]

For you to then turn around and talk to this woman with such disgust. You sneered at her. You talked down to her for being in the wrong line. Really? That's how you talk to people who are coming up with money to give to you, for you to go ahead and mismanage however you want to because they think they give it to you. The church and sowing back into God? Yes. Insane. Oh my God.

[Kid Fury]

I could not including bitches who did not get up, would not get up, could not get up laugh.

[Crystal]

I could not believe what I was looking at. I said this is supposed to be a man of God.

[Kid Fury]

I can't believe he's doing this to us.

[Crystal]

It will be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to see the kingdom of heaven. And this is exactly why the more money you have, the more societal power you have, the less you feel like you have to give a about other people. And that's bad enough when it comes to regular degular everyday people. But those of you who are purporting to be messengers of Christ where it's literally your job to behave in a Christ like manner like that. You are. You're the head of this church. This is how you talk to people giving you money. You didn't say wrong line. Here, take your check back, go in the broke bitch line and we'll like not even that you. That ain't what I asked you to do. All right, well, you know what? Now that I'm thinking about it, God asked me to put this. This $1,235 towards my child, who is growing 2 inches every 6 months. And do we just constantly need new clothes? Food cost. Trump said the food cost was gonna go down. Them shits have tripled. All of a sudden, we releasing the tariffs on shit that can't be grown in America because, duh, hello, Surprise. We actually can't.

[Kid Fury]

We are about to get measles, like.

[Crystal]

So a Kennedy is running Health and Human Services. Y' all trying to double the. The government is shut down right now because Republicans want to double the cost. Bitch, you know what? Actually, my God just told me, take your check back, put a stop payment on that check, do whatever you have to do, and keep your fucking money, girl, because this is insane. Do you know how much $1,200 is in 2025? I feel like you don't.

[Kid Fury]

This is where I'm. This is where I'm so lost. This is where I'm so lost.

[Crystal]

That woman donated her money to this building, and this is how you talk to her.

[Kid Fury]

And you know, in reality, she donated money to the spinners that you want to put in.

[Crystal]

You know where that money's really going? Because why is that church still not done after 20 damn years? But you have a home.

[Kid Fury]

How can you even.

[Crystal]

Marvin Winans better be living in that church for it to still not be done, okay?

[Kid Fury]

And, bitch, still asking people for $1,000 is insane. And you ask them for two. You asking a bitch to come up with $1,000 that they got from who knows where? Cause everybody broke. Plus bring another bitch with a thousand dollars, too. Would you also like a unicorn? Would you like a phoenix?

[Crystal]

Like whatever you.

[Kid Fury]

Would you like a polyjuice potion as well? Bitch, what are you talking about? From where? For what? Y' all robbing the community blind and then getting on the Internet with an attitude. Cause bitches are calling you out. Like, we ain't been calling out this behavior for decades.

[Crystal]

What happened to a willing mind? For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has and not according to what he does not have. I just don't. This is not what. There's not nothing about this is godly. It's just this is the exact opposite of how Jesus would behave. Jesus would turn your temple right over. Jesus would be flipping every table booth at Pew you got up in that. I just could not believe. And then this. Well, it Was y' all taking it out of context? It's because she was in the wrong line. You think it's okay to talk to people who are giving you twelve hundred dollars because they stood in the wrong line? Y' all really think that's acceptable? And okay, you are under spells.

[Kid Fury]

Could have parachuted into the building and actually busted it up. Like, she could have come careening through some panic glass and literally been like, here's a $1,200 check. And you still should have been like, thank you so much. I don't know why you brought the Evel Knievel stunts with you, but with this $1,200, we can fix that window. Plus, like, bitch, why don't you. That's not what I asked you. Ew.

[Crystal]

Tell Marvin to give up 80% of his salary till the building fund is done before he asks y' all for one more damn dime. Insane. Like, sorry, I've been in church.

[Kid Fury]

If he would have been like, if he would have been like, like, if he would have said, bring up $20 plus 20, and that same person or any other person would have been like, here go $30. And he would have said, that ain't what I asked you. I still be annoyed.

[Crystal]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Because, bitch, that's what they have. And you're not doing shit with this money.

[Crystal]

Pastor got every month. Pastor got new gators. Pastor got a new this, a new that. Pastor. Pastor not worrying about what Thanksgiving is going to look like. He not worried about snap and wit getting cut off next month. You got regular everyday people in this church, and this is how you talk to them. I. I said, you know, when people have their critiques of the church, I just sit back and let them talk. Because this is the type of y' all do acting like you. You a servant of God. This was insane talking to people this way. I just, I mean, when I was just gobsmacked, I could not believe it when I saw it. I just, I said, there's no way. There's no way. Close the doors.

[Kid Fury]

If that had been me supreme level of audacity, it would have went viral.

[Crystal]

For a totally different reason. If it was my $1200, 1000%, they would have had to call us, would.

[Kid Fury]

Have been donating money to me.

[Crystal]

I would have had a gofundme for my bail because I'm beating your ass. Who the fuck are you talking to? When I'm giving my hard earned money to this church for you to mismanage?

[Kid Fury]

Like, in what reality? In what world? $1,200?

[Crystal]

You need a 23 million dollar church for what? For what? You need a 23 million dollar building for what? And answer it quickly.

[Kid Fury]

To make a hundred million dollars.

[Crystal]

Girl, shut the fuck up. Oh we. Oh wait.

[Kid Fury]

Rockman Dunbar lost his Lawsuit against Disney, ABC.

[Crystal]

What an idiot.

[Kid Fury]

That show 91 1. I'm just. This was delicious. Because on the one hand I was relatively entertained when I read this and just thought, well, what the fuck did he think was going to happen? Exactly. On the other hand, I feel again for his kids.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Because I don't think that he's.

[Crystal]

Well.

[Kid Fury]

So if you don't know. Rockman Dunmar, pretty famous black actor, was fired from a show called 911 after a COVID vaccine mandate took place on the set of the TV show. He refused to be vaccinated for Covid. So Disney, 20th Television, they fired his ass. Yeah, he sued them and cited religious beliefs and conviction as the reasoning for his decision to not be vaccinated and decided to go full tilt in a black ass lawsuit against Disney over something so obviously wrong.

[Crystal]

Baby, this was so stupid. This was so dumb.

[Kid Fury]

Anyway, all eight members of the jury unanimously said leave Disney alone. And I don't know what the fuck you thought. I'm reading on variety that Mr. Dunbar had a bit of an outburst where he put his head in his hands, started screaming oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. And then turned to his wife and children were sitting behind him in the gallery and said I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. We will be okay. He's apparently said that he lost everything as a result of this lawsuit and I guess he's a bit fried with the thought of what to do following this. I do want to say that. Okay, so you sued Disney & M. 20th Century 2022 and said that due to the tenets of the Congregation of Universal Wisdom, which he was not going to be right there partaking in any of the vaccinations. Now if you aren't familiar with the Congregation of Universal Wisdom, they're like a religious group that's mostly famous for a ticket out of taking medicine. Bitch. In fact, I think if you Google Congregation of Universal Wisdom, the second or third link is a New York Times article from 2003 titled Worship Optional joining a church to avoid vaccines.

[Crystal]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Like so this is a group that for a long time people have sort of leaned on as a way to say, well, it's against our religious beliefs.

[Crystal]

To take medicine or any other medical intervention. They believe in just dying.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. Just dying.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

So he went with that saying, man created the COVID vaccine to separate you from God. I knew you were gonna lie. I should have waited for you to.

[Crystal]

Finish, not to keep you alive. I'm the only one who remembered millions of people dying.

[Kid Fury]

Or.

[Crystal]

That wasn't that long ago, bro. I.

[Kid Fury]

Okay. This is a spiritual war. He said during the four day trial in Atlanta. This is a war of evil against good. I stood on the side of good. You see, this is why I'm saying, like, he turned to his family.

[Crystal]

He's not well. You're right.

[Kid Fury]

Expelled this cry of regret as well as, like, responsibility. And this is who they're going home with.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

I stood on the side of good when this cockamamie ass religious group told me, don't bother taking that medicine, that vaccine against this virus that's literally dropping bitches like flies. Like the girls are dying at shocking rate the whole planet light speed. It was the world.

[Crystal]

I won't forget that. No time soon. It was only four or five years ago. Like, we just got the vaccine in early 2021. People were dying, Covid. Right. I mean, and you could get boosters. You can get boosters for Covid now because it's just like. It's like the flu. We're just gonna have to.

[Kid Fury]

Yes.

[Crystal]

Constantly protect ourselves.

[Kid Fury]

You're gonna get.

[Crystal]

We. I will never forget the refrigerated trucks in New York City to handle all the dead bodies. I. We created the vaccine to separate you from God is the dumbest that could have came out your mouth.

[Kid Fury]

I remember hearing cheering horns.

[Crystal]

Yes. Like clockwork at like 6pm when the hospital. Yes, for the hospital.

[Kid Fury]

When first responders would come in, anybody wearing scrubs, they were cheering because them people were. Have you ever watched the Pit?

[Crystal]

The Pit?

[Kid Fury]

Oh, yeah. You probably couldn't handle it. Okay, well, it's pretty. It's an emergency room trauma. I don't like blood, but it is so intense and probably right on the money with how overworked, undervalued those people are. And it isn't set during the pandemic. So I'm just like, bitch, how the fuck. These people were literally humans packing bodies. Grandparents, parents, spouse, children into bags, not having space for them.

[Crystal]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

For their bodies. And you were working.

[Crystal]

And not just working.

[Kid Fury]

You were not only working.

[Crystal]

Say it.

[Kid Fury]

You were working. A job where you were making $100,000 an episode, including episodes that your character was not in. So that means there were two week production days or two week production segments. An episode that you're not even involved in. And you still getting paid six figures for it. And you know, people are literally falling out left, right and center. And these people were like, here, take this medicine. Because we are all like, you have to if you're coming to work.

[Crystal]

Yes. And breathing around people. We cannot have you unvaccinated. You cannot make others sick.

[Kid Fury]

Baby, you're on camera. You're on camera. Even if you weren't, right. Even if you weren't. Because everyone has to. You're talking about like what, like 300 some odd people on a production set at a time.

[Crystal]

The crew also had to be vaccinated. They just were also wearing masks. You don't have the option of wearing masks.

[Kid Fury]

You have to take a mask off, right?

[Crystal]

Oh my God. Oh, my God.

[Kid Fury]

What are you. What are you missing? And you really thought that you was gonna run Disney down over this coin with your black ass?

[Crystal]

When the Disney lawyer said you're not gonna be able to claim religious exemption because you take 37 medications, you take testosterone.

[Kid Fury]

Maria Rodriguez said that nigga takes synthetic testosterone, anastrozole, and 37 different medications elicited right in front of him and said that the leader of the congregation of universal wisdom would call this sacrilegious. To which he acknowledged that he is not perfect. So saying she said, this is way far from perfect. This isn't even close.

[Crystal]

So you. So you'll take medication and medical interventions to keep your dick up or whatever else testosterone was doing for you, but not to keep you from developing, not to keep you from catching this virus that could cause severe, severe health problems for you and the people around you up to and including death, like we have seen with millions of people across the globe. But you can. But you can take testosterone to what? You can't have something to do with your hairline. So what is it? What? I mean, you're not taking it to keep your hairline. You're bald as fuck.

[Kid Fury]

That's true.

[Crystal]

Was this for dick related issues?

[Kid Fury]

I mean, people take. Sensitivity takes. People take hormones like that for all kinds of reasons. I don't know, like astros is another thing that I don't know what your medical situations are, but to this lawyer's point, baby, if you have a list of 40 different medicines that your ass is taking, then. And they're like, here, take the life saving global emergency one, right?

[Crystal]

Then you can't claim religious exemption for not taking it because you take other medications.

[Kid Fury]

So what is this outburst? Are you screaming at the.

[Crystal]

Your lawyers are the only ones who won here because they got paid knowing good and damn well you wasn't gonna win. But I. This was.

[Kid Fury]

Did you hear what his lawyer said?

[Crystal]

No. No, I did not.

[Kid Fury]

Scott street said, what matters is whether he is true to himself and true to his belief.

[Crystal]

Okay?

[Kid Fury]

It doesn't have to be right. There are plenty of beliefs that are right, wrong, kooky, who cares? What matters is whether you believe them.

[Crystal]

He said, yeah, I took my man's money. I knew this was dumb, but I took his money.

[Kid Fury]

Yes, ma'.

[Crystal]

Am.

[Kid Fury]

Both feet up. Drinking readers didn't give two fucks like I'm getting paid. What matters is whether you believe them. It's not up to your employer to question your belief. I'm gonna have to disagree with you, Scott. I'm gonna have to disagree with you.

[Crystal]

It is up to your employer to question your belief. When you cite religious exemptions for a mandate, but you violate those same. That same religious belief for other medications that I guess you want to take. You let me tell you, also, the.

[Kid Fury]

World has killer breath, and that's just what it is.

[Crystal]

For $100,000 per episode, including episodes where I didn't even have to come on the lot.

[Kid Fury]

Come on.

[Crystal]

I will personally go to Jesus and get an exemption. I will personally.

[Kid Fury]

They could have gave me heroin.

[Crystal]

God, I would have to go. I would have to say, you know what? God spoke directly to my heart and said, if you give up this $500,000, you're making $500,000 a month, $400,000, whatever you're millions of dollars you're making on this show. God told me to keep my money. I just. I understand the church is going to be mad. You can add it to them other medications I take. But God said, do not give up no $100,000 a week job when you don't even have. Even when you don't have to go talking about, oh, it was a dream job. It was like winning the lottery. Yes. And you spit at it. You shit all over it.

[Kid Fury]

That's what made me, again, go, like, whoosh. The people he reports back to. Because you had to. I think his. His lawyer even said this, like, for him to look this payday in the face and decide to make the decision. He did, like, speaks to his religious conviction.

[Crystal]

Then why so.

[Kid Fury]

But it was exactly. It's like, if you have the right to say, no, I will not be taking this Covid, because I don't have to take. I don't take any medication, and I don't. I think Disney also has the right to be like, okay, well, you can't work here.

[Crystal]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

Lives are on the line.

[Crystal]

They do. They do.

[Kid Fury]

And eight people in the jury agreed.

[Crystal]

I mean. And I would have been right there with him. It would have took everything in me not to be like you. One dumb mother, like, period. If I was his wife, I would have walked out the courtroom like, show me where the door.

[Kid Fury]

I was going to exactly say, where.

[Crystal]

Is the divorce wing at? I need to find the divorce paperwork. Where is it at? Because how did we.

[Kid Fury]

My next statement was going to say, annalise Keating. The way I would have got out in the middle of that outburst and walked out.

[Crystal]

And you burned through your retirement and still left court talking about God still won today. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

No, sir, that wouldn't have been in the court.

[Crystal]

Sure. Goddamn. You just didn't. You just didn't.

[Kid Fury]

I wouldn't even have been there because. What do you mean, you quit or when you got fired. What do you mean, 100.

[Crystal]

Okay. All right.

[Kid Fury]

You take synthetic testosterone. We both like.

[Crystal]

There's a real problem with people not seeming to understand how good they have it, baby. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

And then bringing up God, and God is like, bitch, I don't even play your planet on mine no more. Like, when I'm really aggravated, I look at what y' all talking about. I really, like, stop. Stop. Stop talking about me. Stop bringing me up. I didn't say nothing about no one thousand plus a thousand. I didn't tell you dumb bitches not to take no medicine.

[Crystal]

I didn't do that. In fact, I created doctors and scientists and epidemiologists and all other kind of ologists, virologists and all that shit so that y' all would live longer lives. I didn't. I was tired of. Of 60% of children dying before the age of two. So I said, let there be science and let there be people who discover things via the scientific process and. And let's allow these people to gain this knowledge and do the things like, do you think, why would God want. Why would God want. I'm just really. I'm trying so hard to wrap my mind around.

[Kid Fury]

If Disney was like, God wants you to be dead.

[Crystal]

Why would God want you dead?

[Kid Fury]

And Disney was like, we need you to take this vaccine for that hair. We're tired of you being bald, bitch. We see this character with a hairline. So take the drugs, bitch. And then, like, a global. The whole world. The whole world.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Sick, dying, dead. And you were like, yeah. $100,000 an episode with an Angela Bassett TV show. I Don't care. And I'm gonna sue you if you fire me.

[Crystal]

Child.

[Kid Fury]

Why did you think that that would.

[Crystal]

I just don't get this.

[Kid Fury]

Now he's like, I don't take my cars, my money. I don't care. You have to leave here with your soul intact. This is my spiritual test, and I passed.

[Crystal]

All right. I mean, it sounds delusional to me, but okay. Okay. All right. My God, personally would have said, you a dumb bitch if you don't get that vaccine. But, you know, I guess we all got a different God.

[Kid Fury]

I just don't know why God's test would be risking your life, the lives of everyone around you at work, the lives of everyone around you at home.

[Crystal]

The livelihood of your spouse.

[Kid Fury]

Also be like, right? Also this really cool blessing of a job. Fuck it. I was playing like, why would God.

[Crystal]

Most people will never make $100,000 a year in their lifetime. Most people will never sniff six figures a year. And you were bringing it in every week.

[Kid Fury]

I want to really ride home.

[Crystal]

Spent your entire retirement.

[Kid Fury]

Be for real, even for an actor and a black one at that.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

This is a lottery. Like, this is unheard of. Almost.

[Crystal]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

Getting paid six figures when you not even working, bitch.

[Crystal]

Huge money. Huge.

[Kid Fury]

And your last name ain't Elba Smith, right? Like Duvernay Coogler.

[Crystal]

Literally. Literally. It's a very small, top tier number of black professionals who can make that kind of money. The fact that you were included in that number. Somebody who. Who I have never known by name, only by face.

[Kid Fury]

Damn.

[Crystal]

You were so fortunate and you just said fuck it. Okay. But you still feel like it was worth it? Okay, good for you. I personally would be throwing up, but.

[Kid Fury]

I mean, he also said he spent his whole. He spent his entire retirement just taking my life into a hole financially that I'll never be able to get out of.

[Crystal]

But it was worth it because you're. Because when you die, just call Tyler. When you die, God will say, what, you get to go to heaven now because you never had the COVID vaccine, even though God is mad at you for all these other medications, if you're gonna go to hell anyway for taking other medications, why wouldn't you just get the COVID vaccine? This is why religious exemption didn't work. Right. And your attorney really just wanted to take your money because fully, somebody who gave a damn about you would have said, okay, so the fact that you take other medications, they're gonna be able. They're gonna be able to bring your medical records into this because you've cited religious exemption. So I'm not even gonna take the case because it's a waste of your money. And, and if I were you, I would go ask them people if you can go get the shot right now and come back on set.

[Kid Fury]

But did your attorney speak to you? Child, I was reading this. A variety like who took this case and why did they like somebody who was just like, I don't give a fuck. I'm getting.

[Crystal]

I'll take Rockman Dunbar's retirement. That ain't no problem. You been fighting Disney for three years. That's expensive. They money is unending. Yours ain't. Disney said, we truly do believe you hold these beliefs. We do. We believe that you believe it. We believe that you believe the dumb shit you saying. The problem is you won't be suing us behind it.

[Kid Fury]

That ain't got shit to do with us.

[Crystal]

That ain't got shit to do with us. You could have just quit. You could have just and left it at that. You decided to spend your money suing these people for no good reason. That was a dumb decision on top of a dumb decision. And now your children will suffer for it. Yikes.

[Kid Fury]

They said it's great that you feel like you passed the test, but that don't mean we have to give you no problem.

[Crystal]

Talking about work has dried up. Yeah. You probably still gotta be vaccinated to be on a lot of sets. And you're not that great of an actor. Damn, you lucked into it. I know somebody is listening to this right now. Like sure, but not that great. Not so great that you can be passing up 100,000 fucking dollars a week. You know how it's people listening to this show right now going if God chose to bless me in such a way to where I that I could.

[Kid Fury]

Give a thousand dollars to a priest. Much less. $100,000 an episode, please.

[Crystal]

Much less. We're talking about damn near $5 million. Well if you were working year round, which you weren't, but you know, you take this amount of money, assuming you.

[Kid Fury]

Have eight episodes in a season, even that insane. Now let's say you didn't quit or get fired and you're on this show for three seasons. First of all, if you do a good job or whatever on a season, the first season season does well, which it did. The 911 is to a successful show. You could likely in increase, you know, get paid more for the next season.

[Crystal]

So 3.2 million. I, I, I truly feel bad for your children.

[Kid Fury]

I don't Know what's going on.

[Crystal]

I have a lot. I really feel for your kids because I'm sure their lives have been turned upside down from this absolutely inane decision. Only. Only your God knows why. You think?

[Kid Fury]

I think Tyler would probably give him a job.

[Crystal]

Well, he gonna have to. Hope not. No hundred thousand dollars a week. Tyler don't pay like that. Tyler don't pay no hundred thousand a week. That's Disney.

[Kid Fury]

Listen, you need money. The kids need food and clothes and shoes.

[Crystal]

Well, you know, jobs are always available. You don't have to act.

[Kid Fury]

And actually, well, that's also true as well.

[Crystal]

It's pretty hard actually to find a job these days. You know how many people have been laid off this year alone? Companies aren't hiring. Times are. Did you know times were hard? Did you know that? I just. I'm really. I can't.

[Kid Fury]

And the girlies are working on AI actors anyway. They don't give a fuck about you.

[Crystal]

This is so St. Lord.

[Kid Fury]

I don't get that.

[Crystal]

I would love to know.

[Kid Fury]

I read that he was taking 37 meds including synthetic testosterone.

[Crystal]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

I was like Rockman. What happened? Tyler Perry's blaming this white man. Well, he's saying that the white man is mad that Netflix didn't want to buy his pilot. There you go. He's saying he never assaulted him. He said that the assaults, alleged assaults and encounters never happened in a filing. Well, yeah, you would miss Rafa. Yeah. Mr. Perry never assaulted Dixon or committed any sexual battery, did not offer Dixon pay raises and shoot shoot Dixon's television pilot script to threaten course or control. Dixon. And it is notable that in his effort to exploit his friendship and professional relationship with Mr. Perry to obtain a 260 million dollar payday, Dixon was forced to lie not only about Mr. Perry, but himself too. Dixon's greed and avarice, not Mr. Perry's alleged and non existent harassment or abuse is what the suit is about. They're saying. I love the word avarice.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Okay, well, you know what? This is what I expected Wendy and Eddie to post on Instagram. Something that says we absolutely did not do this. Even if it sounds like an attorney wrote it. Something saying I'm innocent and blah blah blah, blah. Now do I actually believe this? No. I think it sounds exactly like Tyler Perry to sexually harass a man over and over, just repeatedly, non stop, until that person finally was like, okay, I. This is insane. Like I have to take this further. But this, this is exactly what I would expect Tyler Perry's legal team to do.

[Kid Fury]

I believe that he, this white man, Derek Dixon, was, for lack of better terms, getting into bed with you for professional advancements and, you know, whatever. I think many people work with you because you offer opportunities that are pretty exclusive to you.

[Crystal]

Yep.

[Kid Fury]

And so, yeah, to Chris point, this doesn't really do anything for me. I would expect that you're going to deny that you sexually assaulted this person. Duh. And I guess, you know, we'll see what comes from it from there. But I did also not find it that surprising that I guess his legal team is going with the idea that this white man is pissed off that Netflix didn't want to buy his shirt show. Which could be true. But also, like, what does that have.

[Crystal]

To do with the sexual harassment of it all?

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, the claims.

[Crystal]

Right. And kind of seems like. I mean, especially with the text messages, it's like, why is there even any smoke to this? You know, why is there even any.

[Kid Fury]

The screenshots of those text messages.

[Crystal]

Yeah. They're pretty gross.

[Kid Fury]

Are so. They don't. Not even giving. Like, don't even give me, like, yeah, big daddy, chocolate daddy. You know, it's not even giving. Like, the ruse of someone who's really trying to. It was very much like, ooh, I don't like you like that. Yeah.

[Crystal]

Like, oh, ha ha.

[Kid Fury]

Nice jet ski. I love the ocean.

[Crystal]

Tyler talking about what about the stud in the picture.

[Kid Fury]

Ew. Oh, God, I wish to say that again. I was trying not to. Not to read, by the way, that.

[Crystal]

Like, I don't see a stud.

[Kid Fury]

Where's the back at?

[Crystal]

You're so old and gross.

[Kid Fury]

I just see Madea, and I know that you see, like, you can't stand that to some degree, but you keep playing her, right?

[Crystal]

And that's your bad.

[Kid Fury]

You keep playing her because she pays.

[Crystal]

You, and that's your bad.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crystal]

That's your bag. Yeah. Because them same church people lining up to Give Marvin Winans $1,200 line up to sell out whatever Tyler Perry puts.

[Kid Fury]

Out the day it comes in a hardcore fact.

[Crystal]

They're the same. People have been diagrams.

[Kid Fury]

It's a real truth. And then come on here and tell us to come watch it.

[Crystal]

No.

[Kid Fury]

I.

[Crystal]

No, I think people. People just want to hear us be exasperated. They want to hear us.

[Kid Fury]

I've accepted that part of it because.

[Crystal]

How does she get on the boat?

[Kid Fury]

Honestly makes it easy.

[Crystal]

How did she get on the boat?

[Kid Fury]

She didn't.

[Crystal]

It'll never make sense.

[Kid Fury]

Superpowers. Like, I didn't know that I was watching a Supernatural.

[Crystal]

Yeah, you didn't right. You didn't know.

[Kid Fury]

But he don't know either. But he don't have to. You're right.

[Crystal]

Cause y' all gonna support it anymore.

[Kid Fury]

They like coming. They like hearing us come on here and run out of breath and get tight about why these films are so bad. So that actually, Jesus God, funny enough, is a little less frustrating.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

For me, once I accept it. Because I'm like, you guys just want to have fun.

[Crystal]

Yeah, they just want to. And honestly, as long as I go into it knowing that it's going to be bad and poorly written and not make sense, it's almost kind of fun for me. Now I can never get to the point of finishing them. I couldn't finish the one with Kelly Rowland 1000%. I couldn't finish the start.

[Kid Fury]

That's.

[Crystal]

That the one where they was fighting in the parking lot of a bar or something. I don't even. Was it Megan good? And she was marrying this man who was mean to her.

[Kid Fury]

He was in a Megan good one. I don't remember.

[Crystal]

There was a. I couldn't. Right.

[Kid Fury]

That one was after. After.

[Crystal]

Yeah, that was after the Kelly Rowland one. I couldn't finish that one either. But, you know. Oh, I remember somebody said, please just watch the first 10 minutes. Because that was the one where it was a funeral and the body rolled. They rolled the body.

[Kid Fury]

I did see that. I did see that. I did see that. And as ratchet and horrible as that was, I will give you this grain as well, tacked onto what I previously said. That was funny because we're like, just watch the first five minutes. Like, we're not even. We get it.

[Crystal]

Like, I will personally cash app you $20 if you watch the first 10 minutes.

[Kid Fury]

You don't even have to waste a full 90. Just fine.

[Crystal]

Cause we know I can't get through a whole thing. We know. We know I can't get through the whole thing.

[Kid Fury]

But I will watch at this big age with all the other things you can do, trying to keep these dogs alive and make sure they don't kill anybody.

[Crystal]

Literally. Literally. Including themselves. So, yeah, Tyler, okay, this is what your. This is what your lawyers were supposed to say.

[Kid Fury]

Yes. Unlike Eddie and Wendy, he just stayed out of posting about God on Instagram and let the lawyers hit up people in TMZ or whoever and say that white man is just mad that he is not Wednesday Adams and he is not Love Island.

[Crystal]

You don't see Tyler on Instagram quoting the Bible and all that. Tyler said, actually, I have attorneys for this Exact reason.

[Kid Fury]

So I don't even like God. I just said it. It just came out. It just like. And God. I actually heard God saying, don't say that. That's nasty. But I couldn't.

[Crystal]

No, he doesn't like God.

[Kid Fury]

Cause he loves God. I thought it was funny.

[Crystal]

You don't love God. What's wrong?

[Kid Fury]

Cancel this dumb podcast. This is.

[Crystal]

What the fuck do we even be talking about?

[Kid Fury]

I don't know. Terrible people. The thing is.

[Crystal]

Oh, boy.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crystal]

Oh, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

He's gonna keep his eye on the prize, which is cranking out terrible movies six to nine times a year. They're currently working on that why Did I Get Married Sequel.

[Crystal]

Oh, yeah. He got a Ruth and Boaz. It's out now on Netflix.

[Kid Fury]

It's already out.

[Crystal]

Yeah. There's Finding Joy, presenting November.

[Kid Fury]

You're fucking lying.

[Crystal]

You're in Time Video. No, I'm dead. Not only is it already out, it was out three weeks ago and went straight to number one. Of course it did.

[Kid Fury]

No, you're. You're talking about a different movie.

[Crystal]

I'm not. Ruth and Boaz by Tyler Perry with three. I'm looking at his Instagram because I wanted to make sure he.

[Kid Fury]

I'm talking about the why Did I Get Married movie.

[Crystal]

Oh, no, no, no. That's not out yet.

[Kid Fury]

You scared the fuck out of me. I'm like, I can believe this, but God damn, I could have swore. Taraji said they started production, like three days ago.

[Crystal]

It does say it's coming soon to Netflix, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's there by the end of the year.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, it probably already has a page or something. You know how Netflix will be like.

[Crystal]

Oh, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

When you log in, it'll have, like, their little slideshow coming in December. I mean, it's probably already got that. But I think they started filming within the past week, and they're probably rapping right now.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

So.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Yeah, they probably are. Yeah. Tyler not posting no bible quotes. Tyler told them white attorneys to get on it and that's that on that.

[Kid Fury]

Episode. Title Mess. Yeah. I don't know who else is in it besides Taraji.

[Crystal]

It's most of the. The.

[Kid Fury]

I know he's probably gonna.

[Crystal]

Everybody but Janet.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, so Tasha Smith is fantastic and amazing.

[Crystal]

What a delight. And never get tired.

[Kid Fury]

Nothing else. That sounds like you guys will get more. More Tasha Smith. So there you've got that. And you guys let me know how it is. Okay? That's going to be it for the hot tops this week. A Holy Sanctified and saved. Hot tops. Yeah, I'm gna take a break.

[Crystal]

Hey y', all, everybody knows how expensive things are right now. Groceries, gas, taking your family out, everything, baby. It is a real struggle. Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress promised they'd make life cheaper, but instead they passed and signed a law that will make things even more expensive. And we're seeing all that right now. Tariffs are hurting the economy and driving up prices. And now Republicans pass the partisan bill to cut your Medicaid by billions, taking away health care from millions of regular everyday Americans just so they can give even more tax breaks to the ultra rich who absolutely don't need them. While people are struggling to get by, these career politicians are putting the elite first, putting profits over family's health, our well being and our ability to afford everyday life that is just wrong and stank and terrible and immoral. We need our leaders to protect Medicaid, lower costs and to invest in our communities, not help the rich get richer at our expense. It's time we demand solutions that make life more affordable. Call your member of Congress and tell them to restore Medicaid. Paid for by House majority forward.

I just saw an Andrew Cross for Taylor Swift eras concert.

[Crystal]

Oh yes. Approved. Approved. I approved.

[Kid Fury]

Delicious.

[Crystal]

All right. Yes. Time for the listener letters. If you have a question for for us, send it to ask the Read gmail dot com. We may read it aloud on the show. Our first letter this week comes from Mackenzie who says, my boyfriend and I have been together for almost five years. I'm 29 and he's 32. As I'm getting older, I'm realizing things I didn't care about before are starting to be more important to me. I'm Christian and he supports that, but he doesn't believe in God. I love romantic things and would love for him to be more spontaneous and emotionally Intelligent and he's working on it, but I just think it's not naturally who he is. We broke up for a week back in year three because I was getting tired of the lack of emotion not being understood and not having our own place and our pace felt very stagnant. He was comfortable with where he was living, paying dirt cheap rent. But we eventually got our own place together and it's been five months that we've been living together. I can tell he's happier now, but I'm confused. I feel like he lacks the romance. He pays the rent and I pay the smaller bills. But now we barely go out to dinner. Things seem so routine and he pretty much just chops it up to not having enough money to do these things. I understand that because the economy's trash right now. But I did tell him he can still be creative and come up with things that don't cost a lot of money for us to do. It scares me for our future when we end up having kids and things get more expensive because I don't want to end up feeling like a roommate instead of a wife. Well, we did couples therapy in year three and the therapist basically said I'm looking for a fairy tale man who writes me poems and sings me songs. Which is far from true.

[Kid Fury]

Shit.

[Crystal]

I just feel like I'm asking for less. Quote unquote Shalom. Before, I didn't know what it was, but I think that's how I can describe it best. I don't even think he so much as flirty with me. When we first met. He kind of just knew that I wanted him. He doesn't say sweet things. He thinks words of affirmation is as simple as saying I love you. When he tried to ask what I want from him, it's so hard for me to explain it, but I just know it's not this. This. I feel so bad that I got this man to move out of his place when now I'm feeling doubtful about whether we're compatible at all and I don't know if I want to leave or stay. I feel stupid, like I'm 29 and still confused and I feel like I've wasted his time when things didn't feel right. I should have followed that. But at the same time, I do love this man and I've learned a lot from him. He's very structured, very financially responsible and very logical. I'm not sure if I should leave or stick it out. We're in a year long lease, so obviously I have to stay until then. P.S. the couple's therapist also mentioned that he may be on the spectrum, and he said that he's thought that about himself before, but hasn't looked into being evaluated or diagnosed. So I'm not sure if that's why I feel like he doesn't tap into that emotional side or sometimes can't tell when I'm upset. When we broke up for a week in year three, that was my first time seeing him cry his eyes out over me. So I don't know.

[Kid Fury]

Damn.

[Crystal]

Any thoughts? Thanks, Mackenzie.

[Kid Fury]

Thank you, Mackenzie. Damn. Okay, so I blurted out at the end there, that was a waste of time. You did what I meant. I meant that it was a waste of time for you to be worried about him possibly being on the spectrum, possibly having to. With these issues emotionally and, like, this distance.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Or monotony. This sort of, like, boring.

[Crystal]

Yeah. He's not spontaneous. He doesn't do little romantic things. He. He's just kind of. He seems to be a very practical man in all ways, including in his romantic endeavors.

[Kid Fury]

Sounds like men. It also sounds like you're very aware of what it is that you're looking for and very insistent on getting it right now and possibly stressing yourself out a little bit about.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Like, this timeline of things. Because, like, I could understand if you're, like, at 29. Like, all right, I'm 30 and bitch, my 20s are over, and. And it's big girl time. But you have a lot of life left to learn about things and grow and progress, and so does he. So I think you can kind of exhale a bit and look at the cards on the table and try to figure out how to play this right. So, yeah, outside of that, I mean, I think it's probably tricky to. It's tricky for me to nail down specifically what I would say to do next. Because you have been in couples therapy. The things you've mentioned and the couples therapists have said have been interesting. Like, I say, they haven't been anything.

[Crystal]

Right. I would love to hear the therapist side of that. I feel like the therapist would be like, I did not say that.

[Kid Fury]

Right. It's exactly the same thing. I'm thinking.

[Crystal]

But maybe. Maybe child. It's a lot of therapists out there who are just doing whatever. So it's possible.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, it's very possible. But, yeah, I think that, like I said. Okay, I guess I'll do this. Like, if I were in your position, I think that I would be requiring for him to meet me at least halfway with the intention of doing something about this. Right. Like, if the therapist is saying, hey, thinking that you might be on the spectrum or whatever, and he is saying, I've thought that as well, just not done anything about it. I would say, well, why not? Why don't we try and look into that? Because outside of autism or whatever the hell, I'm connecting the. Oh, well, you know, I've thought about this thing that could be pretty important, pretty vital, could maybe lead to quite a few aha moments or something. But I just haven't done anything about it. It connects to me to a lot of the other things that you're mentioning of being like, well, we don't have the money to do, like, really romantic things. Okay. Well, you could think of us doing things that aren't expensive or don't cost money for us to do. It's just like, maybe there's something there in just getting active that he's missing or not finding connectivity to, but he has to be passionate about doing something about that.

[Crystal]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

And although I think you have plenty of time at 29 that you don't have to be pulling your hair out. You can also. I think I would also go, okay, how much do I believe that you will do anything about this?

[Crystal]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

If you not going to show me that you can make some steps forward or do something that shows progress. Right. Why should I cling to the theory, Right. That things could change.

[Crystal]

Right. I agree.

[Kid Fury]

It just doesn't, you know? And things don't have to be the worst. This doesn't have to be DDG for you. I'm not gonna.

[Crystal]

I'm not gonna say yikes. Right.

[Kid Fury]

I get you feeling bad, right, that, you know, he done moved, y' all got a place together, and now you're like, I don't think this is gonna work, but if it don't work, it just don't work.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

What's the alternative?

[Crystal]

You. Sometimes you have to do stuff to know that it's not gonna work. Like, you. You don't. Like, I can't see myself ever marrying somebody that I've never lived with. Cause if we can't cohabitate, this ain't gonna work. Or we have to be like Cheryl Lee Ralph and we just live in different houses. If I still want you that bad, I mean, I don't see me going that far. But you know this. So if. Does he understand how much it means to you to have these romantic gestures and to feel this way? Like, I. Maybe he doesn't quite get it, which. I mean, it sounds like, you've tried to explain it multiple times, so I'm not sure why he wouldn't, but. But I don't think it takes much to get like a tablecloth and a couple of long candles off of Amazon. And, you know, whatever we was gonna have for dinner, you know, you just jazz it up a little bit, dim the lights, light a couple candles. Like, it can be little things like that. I don't think it has to be, you know, I'm sweeping you away for the. We're gonna go spend two weeks in the south of France. I don't think it has to be all that, but a lot of people.

[Kid Fury]

Like that, like, corny shit like this. Just.

[Crystal]

There was.

[Kid Fury]

Thought that was put into this and you did like a cute thing or you saw that. I really love beauty and black.

[Crystal]

Yeah. You want.

[Kid Fury]

You set the living room.

[Crystal]

So you got me a. Yeah. You got me a part of the.

[Kid Fury]

Sure, yeah, whatever.

[Crystal]

You know, I love Tyler Perry, so you got me a Madea bobblehead.

[Kid Fury]

It could be anything. Are you dressed up Madea?

[Crystal]

Yes. Are you dressed up like Madea and came to my job and did a singing telegram and that would be incredible.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. And they got hit by a car.

[Crystal]

Anyway.

[Kid Fury]

Google it.

[Crystal]

So I. I actually think this is an issue. It may not be your biggest issue, but, you know, it's. It's quite normal to want to feel desired. Like you said, he doesn't flirt with you. I. You know, it's. It's normal to want to feel like your partner. Like y', all, not just.

[Kid Fury]

Yes.

[Crystal]

Oh, well, our relationship makes sense. On paper. You're a great person and I'm a great person, and we. This, this, this, this, this. It's like, okay, but we have to feel something too. The chemistry, the connection, the spark that has to be there for most people and maybe not for him. But it's fine if you need that out of somebody. I think, though, you know, he may learn how to be more to. To put more thought into romantic gestures like that. But. But you want him to be spontaneous and randomly do little things like that. He may never develop that ability.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. So that may not be him.

[Crystal]

You might be asking something that he's not capable of giving, but also you're Christian and he supports it, but he doesn't believe in God. That can really be an issue to me. That's the number one thing. That's the number one boulder in yalls way. Because if y' all have children, you're almost certainly going to want those kids to be Christian as well. And. And he may be like, well, look, you can have your beliefs, but let the kids choose what they want or whatever. Or.

[Kid Fury]

Absolutely.

[Crystal]

Or you might be. The kids might go to church with you and then come home like, well, is daddy going to hell because he not saved? Like, you might. It's all kind of questions you don't know how to answer. Or that could just really be an issue if y' all do decide to have kids or get married. So I would maybe focus on that one first and foremost. Like, you need to decide what your okay with and what he's okay with. Like, y' all should have this conversation well before you decide to have kids. But I agree. You know, baby, that's one of those.

[Kid Fury]

Things that's kind of like financial position or. Or setting where at first it could be like, oh, yeah, no, this is fine. And we get along so great. And like, yeah, it's not a big deal. But when you invest a life in a family. Invest in a life in a family with someone else, that same person.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

It is very common for it to lead to separation.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

So you're right. I completely forgot that I was at the damn near beginning of the letter. I would look into that as well. Cause she also was saying how she felt. She's thinking about the future and possible kids and that stuff. So this might just not be your man, girl.

[Crystal]

That's what I'm thinking.

[Kid Fury]

It's okay.

[Crystal]

It is. Cause it's okay to want that feeling of like, oh, my man, my man, my man. It's okay to want that feeling. Yes. There's nothing wrong with that. And it's nothing wrong with him coming out this weekend.

[Kid Fury]

I'm gonna just listen to it.

[Crystal]

Cause she's in love, you know, I just need. Megan, please. You look so good. Please be mindful. You just.

[Kid Fury]

Are you gonna talk about the wig?

[Crystal]

You make it? No. Oh, God, no. Oh. But you know what?

[Kid Fury]

I have an untrained wig eye. I've learned.

[Crystal]

You didn't see nothing wrong with it.

[Kid Fury]

The wig looked fine.

[Crystal]

Oh, no.

[Kid Fury]

I also. I saw, like, mostly clips from the game, so it was like, her from afar and stuff. I was like, oh, this is clearly not like a $5,000 wig or some shit. Like, she usually probably has installed it. Look like a cute little out with my n wig that she threw on and brushed. I didn't think, like, the Endless Means.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

They brought out Beyonce's baby bangs by.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Kellen said, look, I took one day off to go do Missy Elliott's Hair for the Victoria's Secret show. Please, please, please. I'm back now. I'm back. Fuck.

[Kid Fury]

Did you see the video of him doing her hair? She was like, don't get to combing it now. And they fell out laughing.

[Crystal]

Whoever the. Whoever the backup wig nigga was. Or maybe Megan had to put it on herself. I don't know. But you can't.

[Kid Fury]

I feel like she probably did it herself.

[Crystal]

Ellen, you can't go nowhere else.

[Kid Fury]

I saw that video, and I was just like, okay, yeah, this is not giving. Like, oh, no.

[Crystal]

I saw it, but I ignored it. I was like, no, this looks good.

[Kid Fury]

This looks fine.

[Crystal]

I said, no. Mm. No. But I learned.

[Kid Fury]

I learned that I have an untrained wig.

[Crystal]

I immediately decided no. I immediately said, I simply won't accept this.

[Kid Fury]

Butch queens in chat. Who else saw the wig and was like, what's the problem?

[Crystal]

Not butch queens in the chat.

[Kid Fury]

Because, you know, straight men will likely be like, that was a wig.

[Crystal]

Yeah. What do they know about it? What do they know about it? Black people have high standards. Black people are black women especially. Child, don't let us see your wig and it be wiggly.

[Kid Fury]

I thought I was getting better at spotting the bad ones. And though. Anyways, this is not about Megan.

[Crystal]

It's all in the hairline. If you doing all kinds of twi.

[Kid Fury]

I learned that hairline part. I learned that this week. That hairline in that part.

[Crystal]

But I also think we too strict about, like, it's a wig, girl.

[Kid Fury]

It's a wig.

[Crystal]

Why can't it look a little wiggy? But I get it anyway. It's okay to want that feeling, baby. And, yeah, this man just might not be the one. And that's fine, too, because I was. That's what I was going to say. It's nothing wrong with him being not like that. You know, automatically it's some woman out there who don't give a. About none of that.

[Kid Fury]

Say that.

[Crystal]

And they are perfectly aligned.

[Kid Fury]

But yeah, and he might be for her.

[Crystal]

Right? Right. Or maybe like Kif here. He said he's working on it, and you're seeing a change in him the longer y' all live together. That's a good sign. But, you know, I don't think it makes him a bad person if he doesn't. I think it just makes y' all incompatible.

[Kid Fury]

He's maybe not your person.

[Crystal]

Right? So good luck, baby girl. Let us know how it goes.

[Kid Fury]

And if I may, to your point of. There's nothing wrong with wanting to feel that your nigga wants to feel that. Remind them of that. Your nigga wants you to be affectionate. Your nigga wants you to be all up underneath him and love all up on him and validate how sexy and fine and how much you love him. If you were a cold hearted bitch who didn't give a fuck about that nigga or ever looked twice at him, he would like it would be an issue.

[Crystal]

That's a very valid point.

[Kid Fury]

There's nothing wrong with wanting affection from your partner, regardless.

[Crystal]

Okay, Good luck, baby. Our next letter comes from Happy with my status.

[Kid Fury]

And.

[Crystal]

Happy with my stat says, Dear Kipuri and Crystal, love y' all down. I should have known I was gay when I started listening to y' all every week when I was 18. But because I like both boys and girls, I just shoved the girls down. That didn't work out because shoving it down did not make these girl crushes go away. Which brings me to my issue. I came out to my friends when I was 20 and I'm now 25. And in true lesbian fashion, I have really connected with this girl. After two weeks, she makes my heart smile.

[Kid Fury]

My man, my man. Literally my baby, My baby.

[Crystal]

My stat in my baby. Okay? She makes my heart smile. And I want to show her to everyone I know, including my family, who I am not out to. I could really see a future with her because she checks all of my boxes. She has a growing career. I bet she do check all your boxes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. She has a growing career, a degree. She makes me laugh and smile from ear to ear, and her kisses feel like butter.

[Kid Fury]

Last. This is how your girlfriend wants to feel?

[Crystal]

Less letter. Yeah, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Lesbian. Teaching you niggas every day.

[Crystal]

Oh, man. Okay, let me not. I'm scared to tell my family because I think they would try to make me overanalyze why I'm gay or say things like they don't want their kids to have a relationship with me. My baby cousins and my family overall truly mean the world to me. And I think if they didn't accept me or started treating me differently, it would really hurt. But we are a very religious family, so I know at least some of this is going to happen. I want to share this part of myself, but I'm scared of what it may bring. Any tips on how to come out to my family? I was thinking to just introduce my girlfriend, even though she's not yet my girlfriend. But it's on the way. I can feel it.

[Kid Fury]

Gay.

[Crystal]

But the problem is that if they are mean to Her, I will cuss these niggas out. Love y'.

[Kid Fury]

All.

[Crystal]

Love y'. All. And thanks for the help, Ms. Happy, with my stat. I know. That's right, girl.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, lesbians really could heal the world.

[Crystal]

I remember those days. Oh, this is so sweet. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

What do you think? I think it's up to you when and how you come out.

[Crystal]

Yeah. It always is. And the thing is, you kind of already know what the worst is to expect here. That there will be people who ice you out that will say, okay, well, as long as you being game, then my kids can't be around you, which is so fucking hurtful.

[Kid Fury]

I hate that.

[Crystal]

That and ridiculous. We not the ones with kids. Y' all are.

[Kid Fury]

But anyway, you think God go give you points for that, too?

[Crystal]

Oh, you know they do. You know they do. Or, yeah, just start treating you differently, looking at you funny, not inviting you to stuff, that sort of thing. Being ostracized by the people you love the most. That's deeply painful. So you. It doesn't sound like you're dependent on them in any way. That's normally what I ask is like, do you rely on these people for money? That sort of thing. It doesn't sound like you do.

[Kid Fury]

Right.

[Crystal]

So in that case, I would wait until she's officially your girlfriend. I know it's been two very happy weeks.

[Kid Fury]

Momma talking about if she should just bring the doll around.

[Crystal]

No, not necessarily. But the thing is. Here's the thing. I would wait to introduce her specifically until she's actually your girlfriend. But this girl wasn't like your gay awakening. You've been knowing you have crushes on girls.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crystal]

So why not come out first without introducing her?

[Kid Fury]

I agree.

[Crystal]

How about that? How does that feel? Happy with Staty. I should have gave you a. I should have gave you a different name.

[Kid Fury]

But that's what they Dr. Why not.

[Crystal]

Just, you know, next time you and your family together be like, oh, by the way, I date girls. Or however. You know, is more most comfortable for you to say it and see what their reaction is like, so that you don't expose this person to their hatred or bigotry or however ugly they might get about it.

[Kid Fury]

Like, ban yourself, because it sounds like you will be very tight. If they say anything.

[Crystal]

Right. If they say something crazy to her. Right. If they. If they mean to her. Now you feel like you need to fight. Let's not make the first visit. Let's not put all of that on this first meeting with her. Maybe just come out. I think my. My suggestion would Be first of all to come out first without involving her and see how they react to that. But you're right, girl. Like, you know, you have a religious family. This is how this. You're right to be worried that they might react this way. Unfortunately, yes.

[Kid Fury]

At the same time, couple things you aren't certain of how they will react. True about this. Also, I think it is quite common in situations like this where you see who's who in the family.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

You might actually be surprised. Maybe, I don't know, maybe mama is like, well, I think that this is just a phase or you got that gay spirit for from, you know, watching all that half and half or I don't know, whatever. From the Reid.

[Crystal]

It's the Reid's fault.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, that damn podcast with them faggots. And so. But then maybe daddy, maybe grandma, maybe sibling.

[Crystal]

You never know.

[Kid Fury]

Maybe someone else is like, hey, fuck, what they talking about? You know, they always been a little too super safe. I don't know why she always talking that shit. Because she go gambling. Casino. We know she be in a casino.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Running it. So it's like it's fine. And also, girl, I knew your ass.

[Crystal]

Was gay, so that's how my cousins were.

[Kid Fury]

That's what I'm saying.

[Crystal]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

It could create a situation where some people disappoint you. It could also create a situation where you grow closer to some members of your family.

[Crystal]

And it's not uncommon for people to come around. They might be unhappy at first and then a year or two later they like. I don't even know why I was tripping. I like that. Young, steady or whatever. Like that's not impossible either.

[Kid Fury]

So. That's true. Low key. Some of the grandbabies are knocking sense into them.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Also auntie can't come around because, well, grandma. That doesn't sound like it makes any sense.

[Crystal]

I don't care if she has a girlfriend. Daddy's had five girlfriends this year. Why would I give a damn?

[Kid Fury]

You had all of them.

[Crystal]

Why would I give a damn that Lauren can't come around. Right.

[Kid Fury]

I don't. This is just not making sense to me.

[Crystal]

Yeah, Mama brought in a straight from prison, but Lauren can't have a girlfriend. It's not adding up.

[Kid Fury]

Grandma, you ain't got no man right now. So all y' all n left. I'm just saying.

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

I think Crystal also hit it on the head in terms of it sounding like you are relatively self sufficient and that this would be more of like an emotional burden if they.

[Crystal]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

Disappointed you. Or tried you. So I think that can also be helpful in you getting to it. And you're relieving yourself of that, I don't know, wall or. Yeah, just whatever. Shroud. I don't know the word, but.

[Crystal]

And yeah, this is what's great about having friends. So many queer people have the experience of making their own family out of friends because their families reject them. And it sounds like you do have friends who accept you and love you for who you are. And you may, you know, just need to lean on them a bit more if your family takes this in the wrong direction. But you, you've known that you were queer. Well, you said gay, but it sound like you like a little bit of everybody, which is fine. Do you? Do you?

[Kid Fury]

Unless it started queer. And now she's like, I for work, Kehlani the Vulva.

[Crystal]

Kehlani and Renee Rapp were both like, you know what? Actually.

[Kid Fury]

Gay Renee Rapp did a song with Megan. Thee stallion saw that ass and was.

[Crystal]

Like, I never really don't know what I was thinking.

[Kid Fury]

I don't see I'm singing about them. Fuck all that.

[Crystal]

Renee Rapp said boys were fine except dick. And then I realized, oh, there's an alternative. The other white meat. Exactly.

[Kid Fury]

Love that.

[Crystal]

So, yeah, I hope that helps in your coming out story. And I pray your family reacts a lot more chill than you think they will. But yeah. Do you have a long read? Like, I'm trying to decide if we should do one more or if we should stop it here so we have enough time.

[Kid Fury]

Time.

[Crystal]

Okay. So our last letter comes from Susie who says, I need advice on how to respond to a friend who can never seem to be happy for me. My friend Angelica is constantly comparing our lives and I feel myself growing resentful of it. Whenever they learn of something good or even neutral happening in my life, they can't seem to be happy for me. For example, after my partner and I eloped, they congratulated me, but quickly followed up with, I wish I was getting married to the love of my life right now. When we were. When we were texting while I was on vacation this summer, they said, I wish I could go on vacation this summer. Never mind that they had a vacation coming up in the next couple of months. When I had a dentist appointment pop up and I let them know because it impacted our plans, they responded about how soon they. About how soon they won't be able to go to the dentist because they losing their insurance after getting fired from their job. I empathize with them And I'm always there when they need to call or text to vent, which is often. But it's gotten to a point where I don't want to tell them about anything that happens in my life life. On the flip side, I also feel like I can't be open with them about my struggles in the past. When I've tried to talk to them about hard things in my life, the conversation circles back to their perception that they have it harder or they'll make a comment about having felt overwhelmed by hearing me talk. They've been in intensive mental health therapy for many years now, so they do have a professional. They talk, they trust to talk about their feelings with. But when it comes to talking with me, they are resistant to recognizing the ways that they are blessed in their own life life and feel the need to compare themselves to an inaccurate idea of me and what my life is like. This is my best friend and I love them. We have lots of fun together and great conversations. We share similar interests. However, now that they are in a serious relationship, the comparisons and enviousness haven't let up like I hope they would. I don't want to be a flaky coward afraid of having hard conversations like I have been in the past, but I can feel myself growing distant. How can I respond when my friends makes comments like this? Am I being insensitive? What would you do? Thanks, Susie. Yeah, my name is Susie. And Gucci think I love him.

[Kid Fury]

That's right, Loki. Another pop culture sidebar. I love that Keisha is walking this man to the car, to the door everywhere. Like I have speak to him.

[Crystal]

Such feelings about. My feelings are really all over the place about that because on the one hand, this is the kind of care that a lot of people need, and on the other, I'm concerned about Keisha's care. I'm concerned about. Cause you managing. You doing all that work to manage somebody else's mental illness and then talking about, well, I'm my own therapist. I don't need no help, blah, blah, blah that I don't know about. But you know, if only Kenneth Petty felt this way about Nicki Minaj. If only Kenneth with delete Nikki's apps. When an episode is coming around.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, God.

[Crystal]

Anyway.

[Kid Fury]

And I feel like he could.

[Crystal]

Yeah, I don't think she would argue with him. Okay, daddy.

[Kid Fury]

But it's like, well, she's busy so she's not paying no attention.

[Crystal]

He just needed her distracted so he could continue to spin on that mx.

[Kid Fury]

Um, I think in this situation, it's like, the first thing that came to my mind when it was when the question was like, well, how to have a conversation was a quote that I heard just a couple of days ago. It was along the lines of, when you have a disagreement or if you have an argument with someone, fight like you love them and not like you hate them.

[Crystal]

Yeah, that's real.

[Kid Fury]

And that just kind of trickled down, really, to the way that you word things, the way that you. You approach things, the tone that you use when you're having a conversation.

[Crystal]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

When you lead with how much you love that person and treasure that person, it can hopefully help in the delivery of your message and, like, progress within the conversation. So all that to say, I think, like, I get the possible anxiety around having this conversation with her because you're worried about where it would go, is it gonna ruin the friendship? Is it gonna make things worse? So on and so forth. But not saying anything isn't helping you or her. So how you say it, I think would be what you are left with. And there's loads of ways to figure out how to do that. So that really is ultimately it. But, like, if you. I mean, it doesn't sound like you are questioning whether or not you are overreacting or overthinking. I don't believe you are, if that was a question.

[Crystal]

Yeah. Cause this is annoying.

[Kid Fury]

It's incredibly annoying. And it's almost like, are you hearing.

[Crystal]

You, like, bitch, I just got married, and the first thing you say is, I wish I was getting married. Okay. Okay. Is Corala. I'm literally on my honeymoon right now. And. And you said, congrats, wish it was me, Bitch. What is this a nightmare?

[Kid Fury]

Why would you say that?

[Crystal]

Like, that's just. Maybe they don't know the difference between an inside voice and an outside voice.

[Kid Fury]

That is a good point. But she got a therapist, right?

[Crystal]

So maybe this is not even in the top five things this person is working on with their therapist.

[Kid Fury]

That was something I was thinking to myself when you were reading the question, too, was, I wonder if. If she has spoken to her therapist about you and if you would even know that. You know what I mean? Cause there is something clearly there. If she does this to you, and even seems like progress here in therapy, progress here. Serious relationship. But still, I'm like, I just had a baby, and the baby came out singing Ave Maria, and it was beautiful. The whole room cried. And you're just like, I wish I had a singing baby.

[Crystal]

It's like, what? Right?

[Kid Fury]

Are you chatgpt? Like, why the fuck are you. What are you talking about?

[Crystal]

Yes. So when Angelica says, like, oh, I wish I had a singing baby, can you say something like, you know, sometimes I feel like you really have trouble being hard happy for me. Like, sometimes I would, I would. The next time it comes up, I would address it in that moment. So it's not like, like I have an itemized list of 30 years of disagreements. Like, it would be, yes, not on some Hamilton shit, but, like, the next time it happens. You know, you say things like that, and it just makes me, I. Sometimes I wonder if you feel happy for me.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crystal]

Just.

[Kid Fury]

I would dance, be like, I wish I had a singing baby. Okay, now, why would you say that? What do you mean? No, why would you say that just right now? Why. What about this amazing miraculous news that I just shared with you immediately made you think of. Immediately make you go to envy? Why would you say that?

[Crystal]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

See what comes from there? Because that you're just asking a question. There's no vitriol, no anything. I'm asking a question to you. Why, again, are you saying. And then from there, if they say something that you can actually have a response to, you go from there. If not, then I would just be like, yeah, yeah. Because have you noticed that this is like the 43rd thing that I have told you that has been either amazing or just half decent?

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

And your response immediately has been like, ugh. Now how do you think that makes me feel? Your best friend.

[Crystal]

Right, right, right.

[Kid Fury]

I tell you good things because I, I, I want to share good news and, and, and revel in happiness.

[Crystal]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

And that gets cut off immediately.

[Crystal]

And I can't.

[Kid Fury]

Your first response.

[Crystal]

And I can't even talk to you about bad news because you make it about you. It.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crystal]

And I get that you're the center of your world, but aren't you? You're, Are you not sharing. We're supposed to be sharing lives.

[Kid Fury]

Like, you want to take a break?

[Crystal]

There's supposed to be, there's supposed to be some back and forth here, girl. Like, if I'm talking to you about my magical singing baby, can we just take some time to be so happy and revel at the singing baby? Like, can we just do that? Does it have to immediately jump to, you don't have a singing baby? And how come God gave you this singing baby and I didn't get one? Like, God damn.

[Kid Fury]

And you have a therapist, bitch. You know, I look at Crystal's face and be like, this is weird. It's really beautiful.

[Crystal]

It's so great.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. Immediately get on the phone with my therapist right afterwards, like, I have a sickening baby. And you know what my therapist would say? Why would you say that? Why are you. What's going on there?

[Crystal]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

I mean, why can't you be happy for your friend?

[Crystal]

Yeah. And even the feelings of envy or whatever, that, that's, it's, it's natural to a certain degree. It sounds like this person is feeling it a lot though, like all the time. Like all the time about everything. So that's what's, that's what's making it a little weird. But, you know, hopefully a therapist can help you work through those feelings. Like, why do I do this? Why do I make it all about me it. Or do you have some sort of fear that if the focus is off of you for 10 seconds, people are going to forget about you or something? It's a million reasons, you know, possibilities.

[Kid Fury]

Behind why you behaved at a 15th birthday party.

[Crystal]

Literally.

[Kid Fury]

And you have no idea because you weren't paying none of this no mind. But she's been holding onto again.

[Crystal]

Are you the middle child in a big family and both parents were working three jobs and so your needs just kind of went by the wayside. And so now that you have friends, you want to make sure everybody knows what you need and blah, blah. Like it could be so many things, but this isn't. You're not being a good friend, Angelica. This is not how a good friend behaves. So I would say something the next time it happens, which sounds like it'll be the next time you talk to them.

[Kid Fury]

She does this often.

[Crystal]

You do this all the time, baby girl. Like, I just would love for you to chill the fuck out. And then, yeah, based off how Angelica responds to that, you can decide, you know, where to go from there. I think most people would be like, oh my God. It's very possible Angelica don't even realize that they do this. And so it could be like, damn, you just made me realize that I do that all the time. I'm so fucking sorry. And then you make a real effort to not do it again.

[Kid Fury]

Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully.

[Crystal]

We gonna cross our fingers, but that's how that should go. Okay. Yes. Best of luck to you, Susie. Let us know how that conversation goes. That's going to wrap up the letters this week. Again. If you have a question for us, send it to asktheread gmail.com. we'll be right back.

[Kid Fury]

Debt Relief.com we're back and it's time for the read. I don't have a real one so I will go first and keep it brief. Again, it is spooky season and I am deciding to do what I did I believe last week and I'm going to be reading a horror movie character.

[Crystal]

Oh, okay.

[Kid Fury]

And so this week I would like to read someone by the name of Chris Washington. Chris Washington is a black man that was the lead in a film called get out where he was in a relationship with a white bitch from Girls.

[Crystal]

Oh my God.

[Kid Fury]

The character and and went to this white girl's family's house where he was terrorized, abducted and almost killed. This brother was told numerous times by his negro friend not to go to this white girl's random family house in the middle of nowhere, but he did anyway. And I just want to say, Chris, what was that about? What was the I'm telling you, I have interacted with various white women for all the time that I've been here and I have yet to figure out why you niggas covet them so bad. Like, what is it that will make you bitches retreat from your own good, common sense insanity for them?

[Crystal]

I don't know what do y' all like so much did that?

[Kid Fury]

I don't know.

[Crystal]

Me either.

[Kid Fury]

Every time I'm around one for a prolonged period of time, I'm like, you race to these. Anyways, I'm assuming maybe it's because she gave a police officer some shit when he was being racist because you said it was so sexy or hot or whatever the fucking word it was that she used. And then looked. Look, she was eating Froot Loops one by one and drinking milk with a straw like a fucking psycho while her parents were preparing to carve your ass up. You know who else would have given cop attitude behind you not doing nothing? A sister.

[Crystal]

Well, and that white woman just didn't want the police to have no record of your ass being out there. Cause you weren't coming home. That's all that was.

[Kid Fury]

Because she's been perpetuating decades of conspiracy where they steal niggas.

[Crystal]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

And experiments on them.

[Crystal]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

But she saw that dry, brittle, thin hair and that white skin, and you're like, I gotta have me some of that. And you went home to the family and you stayed there and you saw them n acting all odd and you spent the night. Yeah, it was so you spent the night.

[Crystal]

Oh, crap.

[Kid Fury]

And the only reason that you even made it out of there in the end, because you did escape. Just barely. The same white woman got you. Yep, got you. And if it hadn't been anybody but Community on the other side of them random blue lights, your ass would have been dead.

[Crystal]

Correct.

[Kid Fury]

Niggas came back to come and get you.

[Crystal]

Oh, man. Cause when she said, you know, I just got the keys, babe.

[Kid Fury]

I said, oh, what were you doing? What about white woman is like, yeah, I'm gonna take the drisk. I'm gonna try it out. White men don't even like them. Okay, I'm finished.

[Crystal]

I mean, I do love get out.

[Kid Fury]

But it's a fantastic film.

[Crystal]

Oh, God.

[Kid Fury]

This is parody, spoof, satire.

[Crystal]

It really had to end that way. It had to. That movie put me through too much for it to end any.

[Kid Fury]

When the maid's wig comes off and you see the scar on her head.

[Crystal]

Oh, yeah, she's the granny. Yeah, yeah. And they just live forever through our black bodies.

[Kid Fury]

It's so good. Every time I watch that movie, I'm like, this. This is like. It's so. It is so good, right? And it's the scariest one. The scariest of Jordan Peele's big horror movies.

[Crystal]

It is because it feels the most realistic.

[Kid Fury]

And what it does with sound and cinematography is insane. And just the shot of the. Again, the maid, when the black woman inside her comes up for a second.

[Crystal]

Oh, my God.

[Kid Fury]

And she fights it back down and is like, no, no. Even when you don't understand why she's doing it. It's so uncanny and scary.

[Crystal]

It's creepy. I have to get the fuck out of here. I have to get the fuck out of here.

[Kid Fury]

But when the nigga on landscaping, AKA Granddaddy, is just sprinting towards him. Niggas already have an ingrained fear of niggas running.

[Crystal]

Correct. Correct.

[Kid Fury]

And Jordan Peele was like, I'm going to do. But that was scary to anybody watching.

[Crystal]

Leaving immediately. He was testing out his black body.

[Kid Fury]

Yes. He was just like, oh, yeah, I can run really fast. Just hang in the middle of the night.

[Crystal]

Yeah, this. This wouldn't be me, because I am never the only black person anywhere. And I make sure I just won't do it, and I make sure of that. Okay, well, I did have three reads this week, but we did two of them during the Hot Topics, so I figured, tammy Roman, I'm on your ass.

[Kid Fury]

What the fuck did Tammi Roman do? I haven't heard her name in forever.

[Crystal]

She was on Kandi Burruss podcast. So Tammy and her daughter Jazz were on Candy's podcast that she has with her daughter Riley.

[Kid Fury]

Riley, yes.

[Crystal]

And so Tammy's daughter Jazz was talking about how she has this girlfriend. She's been dating this girl for almost a year at this point. So. Which. So I guess they shot this in June because she mentions that it's Pride Month. And. And so she said, you know, Tammy, she says, my mom doesn't want to meet any of. She doesn't want to meet my girlfriend. She doesn't want to meet any of the women I bring around. My girlfriend now has had a great impact on my life. She's even gotten me back in church. And, you know, I wish my mom could see that. And Tammy was like, correct. Like, I don't want to meet that girl. I don't want her to come around. And Jaz was saying that, you know, she's. She's graduating soon. And Tammy said that Jazz's girlfriend can't be at the graduation. And Tammy was like, right. She can't be in attendance. And when Candy was like, well, why? That's weird. Tammy said, there's this thing called confirmation bias. And if you know what confirmation bias is, you might be asking yourself, why would it be confirmation bias and not homophobia? Tammy says, my daughter's heterosexual. So it's easier for me to understand that. I need time to figure out how this. How this talking about Jazz, because, of course, she has another daughter who's straight. So it was. The question was, like, how come the boyfriend can come around but the girlfriend can't? And so Tammy said, well, confirmation bias, because my other daughter's heterosexual. So I get that, but I need time to figure out this other one so I can be comfortable. And I still love her, but I have to protect my mental health. Health. And that's where I said, okay, Kimmy Schmidt. All right, well, that's not what confirmation bias is.

[Kid Fury]

It isn't.

[Crystal]

That isn't what that means. I. I don't even. I'm. I'm trying to figure out how you worked the definition of confirmation bias into this situation. Confirmation bias is where you look for evidence to support your existing beliefs. You don't look for evidence to show you the truth. You look for information that supports what you already believe or what you already value. That has fuck all to do with you not wanting to meet your daughter's girlfriend. And so Kandi. And we all know Kandi's a freak bisexual, whatever else she be doing in her sex dungeon with Todd.

[Kid Fury]

Yes.

[Crystal]

So Kandi was like, okay, but it's not your graduation. It's her graduation.

[Kid Fury]

Right?

[Crystal]

Which is the obvious thing here. Like, what you mean she can't come to the graduation? And Tammy's like, well, you know, I don't care. They need to be together at least a year and a half, two years before I meet her. And Jaz is like, well, who are you, Danny? Tammy, you're missing out on a lot of. You're missing out on a lot of moments now that are important to me because my girlfriend is there, and you won't come around. And Tammy's just like, well, no. Cause what if she come to the graduation and she all up in the pictures, and then three months later, y' all not together no more? And Candy was like, well, she don't have to be in the graduation picture with the family, but it's crazy to be like, she can't come to the graduation. And Tammy was like, yeah, I don't give a fuck.

[Kid Fury]

Even if she was in the graduation pictures. And then y' all break up, then you have pictures with my ex in it. I mean, who I was dating at the time. Who. Bitch, you don't have pictures with your ex husband.

[Crystal]

It. It is so. That is so stupid. Like, first of all, the pictures can just exist. Second, we can Photoshop her out. Third, we can take pictures without anybody but blood family. It can be you and your mommy and your daddy and your sisters in your pictures, if that's what you want to do. Like, we can take a multitude of pictures, but this is my girlfriend. And so Riley was like, well, I guess because, you know, Riley has these queer parents. And so she was like, I don't get this whole thing anyway. The whole concept of coming out is stupid to me. I didn't have to come out as straight. Straight. And Tammy was like, you don't have to come out as straight because that's the default in society. Which. True. Yes. That is why people don't have to come out. But you're being Tammy. I mean, Riley was saying, you know, this is just. This is so weird and up. Like, I just feel like I would be miserable. And Tammy was like, I'm sure she is miserable. I don't care.

[Kid Fury]

Lovely.

[Crystal]

And I just sat there like, what.

[Kid Fury]

Type of cookie would you like today? Mother?

[Crystal]

What kind of mother of the year cold, nasty, pussy bitch do you have to be to sit there and look? And I'm sure that this girl puts up with it because Tammy is financially supporting her life. It's no other reason to tolerate this. But this girl is not, you know, she's not 18, graduating from high school. She's not even her early 20s. I think she's 28 or 29. So she's super grown. And still at this age, Tammy is acting like it's some kind of phase or she must not know what she actually like or you're not really into this girl. Whatever weirdness you're coming up with, with accustomed.

[Kid Fury]

With straight people. I need to figure out this gay thing.

[Crystal]

There's something called confirmation bias. Yes, there is. And that has nothing to do with this. Hasn't Tammy dated girls before? Am I making that up?

[Kid Fury]

I would not doubt this. I didn't throw that out there because I'm not sure, but like, I could have. Tammy gives me. She has eaten box, literally.

[Crystal]

But now all of a sudden, she's so uncomfortable with her daughter having a girlfriend. So she says she gotta take a step back and figure out how this works.

[Kid Fury]

I don't care if my kids for me, miserable bitch, go to hell.

[Crystal]

I have to. She literally said, I have to figure out how I can be comfortable in that moment. Because there's something called mental health that we have to be concerned about. And I got to be concerned about mine.

[Kid Fury]

She keeps saying something called cause she's a dumbass.

[Crystal]

Cause she's a fucking dumbass bitch. If your mental health is affected by your daughter having a girlfriend, that's called homophobia. And you need to work on that. That's your fucking problem. Problem. Don't turn that.

[Kid Fury]

Have a tubi movie to do.

[Crystal]

I just really couldn't believe that this was the justification she was giving for making her daughter feel ostracized. Straight up telling her daughter, yeah, you might have these big moments in your life, but the person that you care about isn't welcome if I'm also gonna be there. And when Jazz is like, yeah, and so I have these moments all the time that you're not around for. Like, I've been dating this girl almost a year. Year. You're not there for so much. Many things. There are so many things that matter to me. And you're not around because my girlfriend is there. And Tammy's like, oh, well, be with her for longer and maybe I'll try to get over it. Not Tammy Roman. Not right. Not Tammy Roman.

[Kid Fury]

You could never fix your mouth, literally, to direct this energy at my 28, 29 year old body with judgment, with, like, scorn, indignity, anything. Like the way that you have cut up and carried on for a good portion of my adolescence and young adulthood and adulthood and all these types of things out in the very open public.

[Crystal]

You're an absolute ass. You have actually.

[Kid Fury]

You can't tell me you're a fuck thing.

[Crystal]

Not one fucking thing. You a mess.

[Kid Fury]

Did you graduate?

[Crystal]

Your money is from going on TV and acting like a bitch, right? Where's your degree from anywhere. The way my mama would have been uninvited from my shit so fast. If you don't like it, then don't come to my fucking graduation immediately. Don't come to my fucking graduation immediately.

[Kid Fury]

Homophobia aside, the smooth fact that you could tell feel like you could tell me who can and can't come to my graduation ceremony is nuts.

[Crystal]

In 2025, you are getting on camera and telling us you don't know how to love your daughter unconditionally and you're not interested in figuring it out.

[Kid Fury]

Saying that in open also makes me think of, like, this conversation. Albeit they tried their best. It sounds like this conversation is not for Kandi and Riley. You need to be speaking to that lady from couples therapy or something. You need to be talking to somebody who is going to be asking, asking the questions and getting into the dirt.

[Crystal]

Right?

[Kid Fury]

Kandi is Riley. Sounded like they were trying to be like, this is absurd. Yeah, but they Speaking to a hood rat who's just gonna go, I don't care. She can be miserable because I'm miserable.

[Crystal]

And you act like the graduation is in your backyard. Bitch. If I want her there, she'll be there with all them thousands of other people. And what the fuck can you possibly do about it? You can't even say you don't like the girl she's with cause you won't even meet her. I just, I would have. I. I don't know why I'm shocked to hear this coming out of Tammy Roman's mouth. I don't know. I guess because she's such a hood rat on reality tv I would assume that she wasn't this close minded and ignorant. But wow. So it's Tammy Roman for me.

[Kid Fury]

Don't.

[Crystal]

I don't give a about whatever it is that she's doing. She's selling weave or lashes or cigarettes.

[Kid Fury]

Me neither. Clearly I forgot about whatever.

[Crystal]

Right. Whatever she doing. I don't give a fuck.

[Kid Fury]

Nuts.

[Crystal]

I'm not supporting shit about this bitch. Cause this is disgusting. Girl, fuck you. The heart and I know it must be that this child is dependent on her financially. Cause the heartiest fuck you is here in all my simply don't come to my graduation. Then you're telling me to pick between this girl that I care about and you and Jaz is like, well you're my mom, of course I pick you. But there's gonna come a day when she's tired of picking you. And then what? And then what? Get over it. People be gay.

[Kid Fury]

People be gay.

[Crystal]

Of all the shit you, Tammy Roman have done on camera, this is where you draw a hard line. Your grown daughter choosing to date a woman. Be for real. Ugh, what a dumbass. I'm done. I'm sick.

[Kid Fury]

When the kids are out and the kids are doing fine and they're in school and they're eating veggies and they're.

[Crystal]

She's graduating. Why can't you? You would think you would be happy for her, right?

[Kid Fury]
