Welcome back, folks at home. This is the day that Trina made I don't know who I want to be. I'm Peridot.

[Crissle West]

And I am Lupita Nyong', O. And this is the Read. Thank you for joining us.

[Kid Fury]

In fact, it is that show. And thank you. Well, mid March, the spring should be springing. I hear the girlies are warming up. I hear the girls are getting a taste. And that's lovely. I love that for the girls. I seen the girls out in Atlanta shaking all of their titties. Oh, yeah, I've seen, you know, the girls are having good. Spring is springing, and I love that for y'.

[Crissle West]

All.

[Kid Fury]

I am. Yeah, I'm highly anticipating summer and. And all of the treasures that it will bring. Same as well as spring because it's already summer, Ryan. All right, so this week in Black Excellence, we will be giving it over to one Jacqueline Moore, WWE hall of Famer. Okay. Jacqueline Moore, professional wrestling icon, has been inducted into the WWE hall of Fame as of last year, I believe. First black female in the hall of Fame. I think she was also the first women's champion for the WWE and first woman to hold a cruiserweight title. She says that she Was incredibly excited. Said my family was happy for me. It was special to me. It made my heart happy. It was just so full of joy to get that call we put in there. That made me very happy. Jacqueline is a pretty big deal for folks who are unfamiliar. She's also smokin hot and has a legion of fans who's very, very well deserved and I love to see it. First black woman in the hall of Fame. That's wild. But then again, women are not exactly, you know, propped up the way that they should be in the. In the. In company. I don't even know what you call WWE brand and black women. My God help everyone. So. Right. Not super surprising for me. Amazing. Nonetheless, congratulations to her now.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. Hooty Hoover.

[Kid Fury]

Let us get into a segment that we call Hot Tops Goonies this week. Start with some things that might be nice. Oscars are coming up. I've read that K Pop Demon Hunters and Sinners will be present in the music, you know, live music thing. You know, where they do music performances from.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Things are nominated that have music. So what they're going to be doing is something bigger than just, oh, here go those people from the movie performing these songs. So. For Sinners, because I know that's the one you watched.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Sinners. So Miles Catton is going to be there. Rafael Siddiq, I lied to you from Sinners. This is. There also be appearances from one buddy guy famous for playing the character at the end of the movie, if you paid attention. Also, Shawna's dad.

[Crissle West]

Really?

[Kid Fury]

Getting some. Getting some. Yeah, that's Shawna's dad.

[Crissle West]

Wow. Wow. Okay. He also did Tiny Dusk with Miles and they performed I Lied to youo together. When I tell you I didn't see that. Oh, my God, it's so good. Oh, it's so, so good.

[Kid Fury]

Well, that'll be on my watch later.

[Crissle West]

Yes. I rewatched that a few times. It is just instant classic.

[Kid Fury]

Man, I cannot wait for this.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, that should be very exciting. I. I might have to tune in and catch that live.

[Kid Fury]

Bobby Rush will be there. Shaboozi will be there. Misty Copeland's going to be there. Leun Lee, Jamie Lawson. It says that Britney Howard is going to be there. Wow. Kingfish, Eric Gales. Listen, they finna show out.

[Crissle West]

Oh, they finna tear that shit up.

[Kid Fury]

I just can't wait. Bitch. Just.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

If it's anything like the film, right? And that magnificent scene.

[Crissle West]

They. Ooh, they feel.

[Kid Fury]

I'm proud to cry again.

[Crissle West]

Oh, I'm looking forward to it.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. I can't wait to see that as well as what the girlies from K Pop Demon Hunters are going to be doing as well. Because I do love K Pop. I do love this film. And I love that Netflix now has to take animation and K Pop a bit more serious because I guess they fell and hit. They got damn head and didn't realize that this movie was going to be a banger. So that's nice for the girlies. I'm still just, you know, I think I'm going to wait for the show to be over, see who won what, and then watch it because y' all not finna piss me off. Yeah, this is not gonna happen.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, I could see that. Um, Yeah. I didn't even know K Pop Demon Hunters was a movie. I thought it was a Netflix show.

[Kid Fury]

So it's a Netflix movie.

[Crissle West]

Did not know that. Didn't know any part of that.

[Kid Fury]

So that's why the children all know the goddamn song backwards and forwards and are bleeding their parents eardrums dry. I'm talking about. They are in there screaming, I've got soda.

[Crissle West]

My girls are there, Babes.

[Kid Fury]

I don't even know how to draw on guns.

[Crissle West]

Never heard that a day.

[Kid Fury]

Well, let me say something. The are VH1 divas. When you hear that record come along. They love it, and I love that for them. Watch all the parents that are gonna chime into this episode and be like, explain something to you about my life today. There is never an hour that this song does not come on.

[Crissle West]

I can't get away from it. Yeah, okay. Well, love that.

[Kid Fury]

Ask Noah. Talk to Noah about Katie.

[Crissle West]

I know she used to be into it, but I think she feels like she's a big girl now, and so she's moved on to something else.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, okay. Well, let me be a childish fag. Excuse me. I still love K Pop. I didn't know you had to grow out of it, Noah. Thank you. Okay, the Super Mario Galaxy movie is coming out next month. I'm pretty excited to see this. Even though it's a child's film. I'm Super Mario fan. I think it's 40 years of Mario now. And I played the first one live in my house, right? No kids. Not the Game Boy Advance Edition. No children. Not the one on GameCube. Also not on Nintendo 64. I'm talking about the original Nintendo Entertainment System. Now ask your granddaddy and them what I'm talking about. It's like it just came out way before your time.

[Crissle West]

Granddaddy is crazy, but yes, it is. It did.

[Kid Fury]

So, yeah, I. Mario has been a part of my life for a very long time. I enjoyed the first film. I thought it was cute, especially for the children. I will not get over Chris Pratt being right. That voice. It's nearly as bad as Daveed Diggs playing that crab. But nothing gets worse than that for me. But I thought it was cute as far as Easter eggs, and I thought most of the other voices were pretty great. And Spot. Yeah, this movie looks t. Super Mario Galaxy being the next movie is fun. Amazing game. The trailer looks awesome. Love seeing Rosalina live, but the reason I'm bringing it up for you when Issa Rae will be voicing.

[Crissle West]

Oh, yay.

[Kid Fury]

The Honey Queen. Now, if you've played the Super Mario Galaxy games, then you know the Honey Queen is. Yeah. A big, giant bumblebee queen that is a friend and also often a helper for the Mario children. Brothers. Is Luigi playable in the second one? The second one has Yoshi. Whatever. I'm. I'm getting. Getting off track. Louise Guzman is going to be playing Wart King. Wart, I think, is like a. Is he a frog or is he a lizard? I think he's a frog. Doesn't matter. The voice of Yoshi. You know who that is?

[Crissle West]

I do. The little dinosaur looking that bounces around.

[Kid Fury]

Yep. Yeah, that's him. Yes.

[Crissle West]

He eats eggs. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Yep.

[Crissle West]

That's what?

[Kid Fury]

Well, he doesn't eat eggs. He eats enemies, and then he makes them into eggs.

[Crissle West]

Oh, okay. Oh, oh, oh.

[Kid Fury]

Then he can throw those eggs at his enemies again.

[Crissle West]

Yuck.

[Kid Fury]

Sometimes they're white eggs with green spots. Sometimes they have red spots. Sometimes they have pink ones and blue ones. And there are other Yoshis besides the green one. Okay, for those of you who are also Nintendo children, you remember Yoshi's story. Very excited for Yoshi. Yoshi is basically like the Pluto of Mario. Remember Pluto?

[Crissle West]

Like the planet.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, children, so Mickey Mouse used to have a dog.

[Crissle West]

Oh, the dog.

[Kid Fury]

Girl, just. Don't. Don't even argue with me. Why did a mouse have a dog? It doesn't matter. But Mickey had a dog. His name is Pluto.

[Crissle West]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

I think Disney might have deleted him. I don't know where Pluto is, but. Okay, so Yoshi's gonna be voiced by Donald Glover. Now, I have a lot of questions. I have a lot of questions. Yeah, I have many questions. Now, one of them is, why Donald Glover 2. That's no shade. He's a great actor and writer. That's one. Two. What is he gonna say? Yoshi doesn't speak.

[Crissle West]

Right. He just makes that weird noise. And Yoshi.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, that's as much as he says. And then after that he goes,

[Crissle West]

yeah, he makes like weird noises.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, he just makes little weird noises and says yoshi. So it feels like they're gonna give him a full voice and dialogue, which

[Crissle West]

is, well, maybe in the galaxy gonna

[Kid Fury]

be something he has. He doesn't. Well, in the game. Oh, you're talking about in the. In the, in this.

[Crissle West]

Yes, in this magic. Right.

[Kid Fury]

I'm saying maybe now you're onto something. You'll always cook it up.

[Crissle West]

Maybe they're gonna go somewhere else, some other planet far away. And in this planet, Yoshi can speak and nobody else can. They're like, wow, this is crazy.

[Kid Fury]

Rosalina will probably use her cosmic magic to be like, okay, so you have to communicate with this dinosaur nigga. Because this is a feature film and we only have. So we're going to give him the power to speak. Don't argue. Great. Have a good time.

[Crissle West]

Yep, that. That's exactly what I was thinking.

[Kid Fury]

So I'm not going to hold out hope. I'm. I'm more curious than concerned. Michael. Michael. Chris Pratt was a concern before, during, and after the film. This is just more curiosity. I'm interested in how that's going to work. Issa Rae, layup. Luis Usman, layup. Those are going to be easy wins.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

This one I'm. I'm curious about. Either way the movie looks tea. I'm actually, again, I don't have any children in my life, so I'll be going to see this alone, proudly, and maybe like super, super late. Because I can't deal with like a whole theater full of y' all kids. When's the last time I did that?

[Crissle West]

Yeah, it's been a long time.

[Kid Fury]

I don't even know. Maybe it was like a. No, I don't think it was a Marvel movie. Woo. I can't do it. So I'm either gonna wait for that bitch to start streaming or I'm gonna go see her at a nice theater where they serve food at 12 midnight. Cause by then your baby should super be asleep. And I promise you it's still gonna be a busload of 8 year olds in that bitch. I just don't understand.

[Crissle West]

Anyway, you want it so bad, you over here trying to will it into existence and it's like it's. Kids is gonna be there, especially in la. So you might as well just prepare yourself. Cause it's gonna happen.

[Kid Fury]

I just wanna see Yoshi Gambino and how that's gonna work.

[Crissle West]

Oh, well, Chris Pratt is in this one, too. That's very sad. I thought maybe I was gonna get away from him, but I just Googled the cast, and he's right there, so. Okay. Yikes. Do hate that.

[Kid Fury]

I live with it. I mean, there's so many new characters in this, too. Maybe I'll just, you know, maybe he can just sing in the background. First of all, real quick, did you know that popmart, the people who make the Labuboo, they also have lots of other toys?

[Crissle West]

I do.

[Kid Fury]

This one is similar to a Labubu

[Crissle West]

with the demon teeth, but I think

[Kid Fury]

you're gonna like it.

[Crissle West]

Oh. Oh, okay. That is cute. So cute. Oh, that's adorable. It looks sexy.

[Kid Fury]

Why don't the kids just have this one? Oh, yeah. This one looks like he has a frown, but some of them have smiles.

[Crissle West]

Oh, I was about to say.

[Kid Fury]

And they smell like. They smell like candy.

[Crissle West]

What is it?

[Kid Fury]

I don't know. Why? It's just a little. I think they call this one, like a gummy bear, but it's not the same thing. It's just not my stuff.

[Crissle West]

Oh, yeah, See, that's much nicer. This should go viral. All the children should buy this. This looks a lot less like it's gonna stalk you in your nightmares. Yeah, that's very cute.

[Kid Fury]

Gummy bear or teddy bear onesie or something. I was like, I have to show Crystal this. I first of all got it for one of my homegirls as a gift. And then I was like, oh, wait, keep it cute. I should show Crystal there. No, I got one for. I was like, I should show Crystal that there are La Boo Boos out here that aren't monstrous that look like Pokemans.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, it is. It is. That is actually very adorable. Like, I would much prefer to see that hanging on all these kids backpacks. But, you know, you can never tell with children what they cheaper. Oh, for now,

[Kid Fury]

you're right. Speaking of Pokemen, I'm just gonna slide this in here. And this is mostly for you as well. You don't have a Nintendo Switch 2?

[Crissle West]

I do not.

[Kid Fury]

This Pokemon Animal Crossing game might be the girl to get you out there.

[Crissle West]

Babs.

[Kid Fury]

I'm telling you, she is meth. This bitch is crack cocaine. And I really was like, okay, Nintendo, you trying to get me to pay $69.99 whatever for this Pokemon Animal Crossing Girl, suck both of my titties. And then I saw, like, gameplay of it. I'm like, let me just give it a Try. Fine. It looks cute. Add it. Oh, no, it's Animal Crossing, but it's Pokemon. It's only on the two. Oh, no, it's Animal Crossing, but. And listen, all girls, up to this point, Mario Kart World came out, couple other things. Metroid, whatever else. And the girls would be like, oh, is it worth me buying it? Switch 2. And I'm like, no, no. It's loads of fun. I'm having a great time. No, no, it's not. Not yet. This girly.

[Crissle West]

God damn it.

[Kid Fury]

No, it's Animal Crossing, but it's Pokemon. But it's also deeper than Animal Crossing because it's also kind of like Minecraft, because you can build stuff. You can go out in the world, and you can just, like, break. Break down stuff, and then you can make a house out of it. And then you can make houses for your Pokemon. You can build it from the ground up, and then you can put furniture in and outside of the goddamn house, depending on what it is they like. And then each Pokemon also has abilities that you can use environment, such as Squirtle using his water to make the plants grow, such as Scyther chopping up wood for you to make lumber so you can build additional houses, such as Charizard flying you around the world to find the other Pokemon from your houses if you lose track of them. The game is tea. It's tea. It's tea. I literally have gotten to back to a point where I'm like, oh, I have to put this game down because I'm an adult man, and I have things to do.

[Crissle West]

Things to do. Yeah. Damn. Wait, is this called Pocopia?

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crissle West]

Okay. Because somebody asked.

[Kid Fury]

I just call it Pokemon Crossing.

[Crissle West]

We were. There's a. There was a listener letter that I had picked for today that asked if we were planning on playing Pocopia.

[Kid Fury]

I am.

[Crissle West]

And they were asking you about the Pokemon Wind and Waves trailer, which I have never heard of, but it's the

[Kid Fury]

new, like, mainline one.

[Crissle West]

Okay. So. But somebody literally asked if we planned on playing Pocopia, because they were like, this is the best game plans. So planned. Well, I'm not. I really don't want to buy no whole nother video. Like, I really feel like somebody's mama, but I do not want to spend no $500.

[Kid Fury]

Here's the thing. It's one of those games. Kind of like when Animal Crossing came out in Covid. It's one of those games where you could just have that game and nothing else, I think. And other things maybe at Some time when something sparks your interest. But unlike before, when I was telling the girls, no, you're not going to play this game for a couple hours, put it down, and then it collect dust and you're like, why the fuck did I spend $500?

[Crissle West]

You're going to be in it. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

You will play this game, I think every day. And it's also like Animal Crossing, where you either time traveling and trying to break the game or you play it right. So you're day by day and shit

[Crissle West]

to do every day.

[Kid Fury]

So you can really stretch it out. Oh, man.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

I'm just saying.

[Crissle West]

Oh, God. Let me. Let me try to. Let me look at what the budget is looking like. Cause I'm trying to buy a house. She is kind. Oh, I want that. Damn, that sounds good. Wait, so talking about Animal Crossing, right? And I. I thought. Honestly, I thought Animal Crossing was like a pandemic thing for me when I was like, girl, you don't have nothing else to do. You wish you was on a beach. Go. You know, go pretend like you're on an island somewhere. But now it's like, damn, all of outside is open. And I still might. I still might.

[Kid Fury]

Beaches, forests, mountains.

[Crissle West]

Oh, no.

[Kid Fury]

Caves.

[Crissle West]

Why would you tell me this?

[Kid Fury]

I just built my first Pokemon center.

[Crissle West]

Wait, you get to do you get to build a center where they go train?

[Kid Fury]

They don't go train. You go into like a Pokemon Center. You go there to not heal yourself, but recover your ability power. So you can go back and make the grass grow. Whatever. You can also use a thing in there to like make copies of different objects or furniture in there. And then you can also buy stuff from the Pokemon center guy.

[Crissle West]

Oh, man. Damn it. Oh, no, I want it. Oh, no, I want it.

[Kid Fury]

So all I'm saying is just hold tight to your brassier. And if there is a time where you're like, ooh, the coinage is coinaging. Let me go ahead and take a peek. Yeah, even when you know what, don't buy one yet. But if and when you literally just

[Crissle West]

gave me 19 reasons that I should, I want it now.

[Kid Fury]

She's the girl.

[Crissle West]

Okay, let me just see how when

[Kid Fury]

you do get there, make sure that you pocket up that poco. If you can get one. I heard they're selling out boots again because this game came out.

[Crissle West]

See? God damn it. Why is it $450?

[Kid Fury]

She's tea. This game is so tea.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

And I'm gagged too, because when Nintendo first showed it at a direct, I think last year, I literally Think out loud. I said, by my. Okay. Nintendo. Animal Crossing. Pokemon. Ooh, creative.

[Crissle West]

See?

[Kid Fury]

And now here I am.

[Crissle West]

And they said, yeah, you're gonna chew those words up, you bitch.

[Kid Fury]

Sure did. It's the highest rated Pokemon game of all time right now.

[Crissle West]

No. What? Oh, that means everybody loves it. That means. Oh, God. That means the reviews are out and the girlies are obsessed.

[Kid Fury]

Let me just See, I'm gagged. I didn't expect it.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Pokemon Pocopia's early success causes a surge in Nintendo's share prices.

[Crissle West]

Wow. This person said, I've waited my whole life to play a Pokemon game like this.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, that's.

[Crissle West]

You meant that. Shit. Damn it. It's only on the. God damn it.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. Why?

[Crissle West]

Fuck you, Nintendo. Oh, Nintendo.

[Kid Fury]

It makes kind of it.

[Crissle West]

I.

[Kid Fury]

Okay. You know, The Nintendo Switch 2 has the joy cons are also mice. They're like, also a mouse.

[Crissle West]

I did not know that.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. So you can take the joy cons up and use them as a mouse. Unlike your computer, which is specifically built into. No, on the Switch. Like.

[Crissle West]

Oh, okay.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. But it's. There's a built in feature into Pocopia where instead of going bit by bit to use build the house. You can just take the mouse out and go and do it way faster.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crissle West]

All right. I'm gonna just close this.

[Kid Fury]

Things to think about.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. I'm actually really pissed. Cause I have not thought about that video game system in months. And now. $450. Good Lord. Oh, okay.

[Kid Fury]

But when you put Laney down to sleep and you're like, okay, this is me time. Yeah.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Building your huts and your cottages and your Pokemon centers and you have to go and find other ones. So you have to like build habitats around the world that are suitable to different Pokemon. After a certain time, you feel like the little grass move or like the water thing. And then you'd be like, oh, what's this? And then you go and check it and then out pops a brand new Pokemon. And then they become your friend. You can rent houses for them and they help you. But yeah, don't rush. It's fine.

[Crissle West]

The problem is this is right up my alley. This sounds like. I know I would fucking adore. And the fact that somebody emailed us about it, but then you just naturally brought it up during the topics anyways. Like, girl, go and get it. Gone and get it. Let me see.

[Kid Fury]

Because I genuinely believe you will enjoy it so much that you won't be like, oh, girl.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Why did I buy this?

[Crissle West]

Let me see. If anybody's kids been acting up so they mamas are selling their Nintendo Switch.

[Kid Fury]

That is a great way to start. That is a Mac.

[Crissle West]

Anybody selling their Kid Nintendo Switch 2. Cause they don't know how to act, please let me know.

[Kid Fury]

You might actually get an email saying, yes, please come take this shit from this nigga because he got me fucked up. I spent $450 on this nigga and he had the nerve to come home with a D minus.

[Crissle West]

Damn. Fuck, this looks good. Okay. All right.

[Kid Fury]

It's pretty great. I'm gagged. I really didn't expect it. I'll answer the wind and waves question later.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

All right. So first I'll talk about Travis Scott and a number of other rappers who are coming together to try and stop the death sentence of a man named James Broadnax. I might be saying the wrong hope. I'm not. In 2008, when he was 19, he was found guilty of capital murder for the deaths of a man named Stephen Swan and Matthew Butler. And while on trial, the prosecutors brought up over 40 pages of rap lyrics to try and, like, you know, impress upon the jury that this rap music made him violent and how he's like, a future danger to people because he listens to hip hop. So since then.

[Crissle West]

Wait, so they're not his own rap lyrics? It's just other.

[Kid Fury]

No, Just listening to other people.

[Crissle West]

Okay, so that is a stretch indeed.

[Kid Fury]

Of course.

[Crissle West]

All right.

[Kid Fury]

He's now 37, and he is scheduled to be killed.

[Crissle West]

Oh, my God.

[Kid Fury]

April 30th. So end of next month. And I think as of a Couple days ago, March 9, killer Mike Ti, young thug, fat Joe Nori, and other rappers filed on behalf of him arguing that his constitutional rights are being violated. As it's been said a number of times in court, the Dallas appeal it attorney Chad Baruch. Sorry, sir. Said rap lyrics are creative expression when prosecutors treat them as literal evidence of future violence. They invite jurors to decide a death penalty case based on fear and stereotypes instead of the law. With that being a fact, Travis Scott's legal team also filed a brief. They say the prosecutors argue Mr. Broadnax was likely to be dangerous in the future simply because he engaged in rap such. Engaged in gangster rap. Such an argument functionally operates as a categorical and straightforwardly unconstitutional content based penalty on rap music as a form of expression. At a certain level of abstraction, the reality is even more problematic. Taking rap music out of context subjects the entire genre to prosecution. It implicates fundamental constitutional rights.

[Crissle West]

Damn.

[Kid Fury]

And more of Moreover, this attorney, elite, Elide Thompson, I can't say nobody name today, okay? Moreover, she claims that a death sentence should never be based in any part on constitutionally protected artistic expression. Further facts. But, yeah, this sucks. And honestly, I wouldn't hold my breath. I've seen things like this happen before, and I've seen the court and government respond to it by saying, tough.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

So at the very least, it is good to see not only other powerful black men speaking up, but specifically rappers saying, girl, get the fuck out of here and stop taking the art form and weaponizing it.

[Crissle West]

Right? Because it. I had to look this up. He was con. The murder is not even up for debate. Like, he definitely did that, but they decided to give him the death penalty by using these rap lyrics and being like, this is what makes him so much more dangerous. And it's like, if we can't. And it's Texas. So I would think that if you really wanted to sell somebody on the death penalty, you probably would not even have to try that hard like that, right? So this idea that, like, oh, you was listening to a bunch of TI and that's what makes you a menace to society, like, that is ridiculous. This person probably has a very sad story, a very fucked up childhood and all other kinds of stuff that has way more to do with.

[Kid Fury]

With his decision making than fucking rap lyrics murdering people. But, yeah, taking all of this stuff out of context and just being like, right. It's like, well, that rap is gonna cause him to keep killing.

[Crissle West]

No, that's not how that works. It would be way. Never mind.

[Kid Fury]

But even when I was a kid and we would say, oh, if you listen to Tupac backwards, we just say, you got possessed. I mean, like, it wasn't even like, oh, you're gonna then go on a murder spree. We were just like, oh, yeah, you listen to it and it casts a spel.

[Crissle West]

And this used to be what they said about rock music and Marilyn Manson,

[Kid Fury]

girl, you know, and then girls were actually eating bats and rats.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, that. That man, that Dazzy Osbourne and all that shit. Like, they used to say all of that about that music. And again, there are countless whites across the globe who listen to that and don't go and do things. So, like, the idea that this man deserved to be put to death because of rap music he listened to is beyond stupid. It sounds deeply, deeply racist. So, yeah, let's. I mean, let. If. If this is what made y' all decide that capital punishment was on the table, then let's go ahead and take, take capital punishment off the table, girl. Let's just go ahead and do it like he killed two people. I understand if y' all keep him locked up for the next 70 years. It's hard to argue when somebody takes two other lives. But capital punishment because of rap. Let's just all be for real. Is being around Donald Trump gonna turn everybody into a fucking pedophile or a racist? Well, a rapist at that. Or that. Right? Like it's a few different things. Is being in the White House gonna turn you into a rapist? Is that the argument we're making now? I mean, at this point it's just very strange how y', all the situations y' all decide to pick and choose how much influence artists and entertainers or political figures or whomever else. Like, this is not. Nobody told him to go do this shit. Like, this is not on nobody but him.

[Kid Fury]

So not to mention to your point about rock, do you know how many times I have heard, and this is relatively true, that like death metal fans and goth and stuff are actually really, really nice people?

[Crissle West]

Oh yeah, I've heard that about goths.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, it's true.

[Crissle West]

Where it's like they just look scary, they don't wear colors and they're pasty sometimes. Like, it's like they're allergic to the sun and the outside. But some of the kindest hearted people you will ever hope to meet, it's like, okay, well, I don't know them personally, but why would I hold their choice of music against them of all fucking things, right? You can listen to classical music and be a fucking serial killer. Does that mean we gonna take fucking Beethoven?

[Kid Fury]

Girl, you might be.

[Crissle West]

You literally could be like, it's not the music you listen to. This is just absurd.

[Kid Fury]

Actually, if I was on some, like, if I was on some Silence of the Lamb shit, I would start with the bitch who's listening.

[Crissle West]

Didn't.

[Kid Fury]

Wasn't Hannibal Lecter listening to classical girl, they can go back and watch silence again.

[Crissle West]

Because I would think classical music, now that I'm thinking about it, I would think that it would have a soothing effect on the nervous center, nervous system. So you can stay calm and focused on the task at hand, which is killing these people as efficiently as possible and not leave it behind. No DNA or outright like.

[Kid Fury]

I'm just saying that takes a lot of time. Yeah, I don't want to just soothe

[Crissle West]

the mind, but white people respect classical music and the people who make it. So they're never going to draw that parallel when they're trying to, to legally execute someone. This is, this is just fucked up, child.

[Kid Fury]

Well, they're absorbing rap too, so it's probably gonna be like another eight to 10 years before they're like, oh yeah, hip hop is not violent at all. And then they'll switch to, I don't know, Nike's Jordans.

[Crissle West]

I mean, if we gonna talk about violence, we gotta look at this nation first and foremost. We gotta look at this country how it was founded, our laws, our policy, the shit we allow the people we elect to our highest offices. Like if we wan about violence, let's look at the environment first and foremost. The music is nowhere near as impactful. If anything, the music is a product of the environment.

[Kid Fury]

Oh my God, look at that.

[Crissle West]

But y' all too racist to look at it that way.

[Kid Fury]

so listen, have you seen what former UNC Shannon Sharpe was saying back and forth with Clarissa Shields? So Clarissa Shields is very adamant that she could win in a fight against Roly Romero, who is pretty decent male boxer.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Many people, including Shannon Sharpe, have been saying to Clarissa that that is ridiculous. Ridiculous. I will say as a fan of boxing, MMA and the like, it is indeed ridiculous. But yeah, she's very, very firm on the fact that in an actual match, not sparring, of course, with a few months of training from the greats, that she could actually win against, against this man. And she's pointing to, you know, oh, my offense and my defense is this. And like everybody can take a. You gonna get here, everybody can take a punch and you just got to keep your. Your chin down and. Da, da, da, my girl. What the fuck are you talking about? And why do you feel like it's necessary to say this? First of all, you're not going to fight Rolly. No one's going to put you in a fight with this.

[Crissle West]

Right?

[Kid Fury]

Furthermore, why are you saying all of this? Like, what do you get out of saying these untrue things? And why are people allowing you to feel this way? Now, here's the thing, okay? I'm not saying this just because you're a woman and this is the guy. I've seen women in the street knock out niggas in the street bigger than them. So it's not possible. It's not impossible.

[Crissle West]

Multiple times, actually, I've seen women lay niggas out, actually.

[Kid Fury]

This is a situation, though, where you're both trained fighters. It would really only take one to two solid hits before the fight will be over. I think you'll gag him. Like, I think that he will probably go like, oh, this is not as easy as I thought it would be, but he will beat you. And I think this argument is a waste of time, especially because you're not gonna fight him. However, Shannon Sharpe on the other side of this is kind of being like Shannon Sharpe when he talks about anything he's passionate about, especially sports. So there's a. For me, it was like, what do you say? Right message, wrong messenger, sir.

[Crissle West]

Not you. Not you, nigga.

[Kid Fury]

I'm fine. You. And this beer that has so quickly become salt and pepper, you figure out if you finish on the payment plan for that white lady, right?

[Crissle West]

Wait, so Shannon Sharp, what did he even say? Just, girl, you not gonna win. Shut up.

[Kid Fury]

Pretty much that he's like, he's a champion this, that the third, and, like, essentially he was boiling it down to the fact that she is a woman and men are stronger. Men have more muscle mass or whatever, and that's why he would beat her. And like I said, it would likely take one or two good ones, because it really only takes one or two good ones for anybody, male, female, whoever's fighting. What? But I've also seen Rolly fight. I've also seen you fight. I just believe it would be stopped. But the way that he's saying it is just like. It's almost like he was like little girl in her.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

To me.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. No, and I could see that from Shannon Sharpe because he has this sort of derision for women. And Clarissa Shields is an easy target because she's always saying or Doing something that's dumb or bird brain. So I could see that.

[Kid Fury]

Which is why I'm not really a fan of her. Because she run her mouth too much, right?

[Crissle West]

And I don't.

[Kid Fury]

She's the best, right?

[Crissle West]

And I don't watch no kind of fighting, so I really don't give a shit who would or wouldn't win. Um, I can see how a lot of people are like, girl, ain't no way you would. But the reality is nobody knows unless they actually got in the ring who would win. Because the better fighter or the better team or the better player doesn't always win in a head to head matchup. So you really don't know. And it's never going to fucking happen. So the debate is kind of pointless.

[Kid Fury]

Thank you.

[Crissle West]

So I just don't know. This is. Yeah. Why Shannon Sharpe is like, nah. Mm. You're a delicate lady with your eggs and your uter. Like, okay.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. He's basically like, that's a man, Damon.

[Crissle West]

Like, it was just like, she can't beat no man ass. Like, that's just.

[Kid Fury]

And with training, like three to two to three months of training from men, like, she would probably be able to really gag him, dance him around and probably even clock him a good time.

[Crissle West]

You never know. Cause but. And she could twin you never. It's possible. It's not impossible.

[Kid Fury]

But Shannon, I don't think she'll win.

[Crissle West]

I mean, and I don't think she's.

[Kid Fury]

I do not know, because you said it.

[Crissle West]

And you watch fighting and you know about it and I don't. So I trust your opinion on that. But yeah, Shannon Sharpe is a weirdo when it comes to women doing things. And if I was Clarissa, I would be like, you got way bigger problems than common people.

[Kid Fury]

If I was her, I'd have been like, you come fight me then. Since it's like, since all it takes is a man, you come fight me. Let's start with you.

[Crissle West]

And I mean, Shannon Sharpe is a big nigga, but he also old. So like, nigga, don't come over here and fuck with your knee or something.

[Kid Fury]

Shannon Sharpe's ass. And I mean that today. I mean that today she will beat that man's ass.

[Crissle West]

I believe that too. Cause she probably a good 30 years younger than him on top of being a professional fighter. So it's not impossible. But yeah, this. Wrong nigga, Wrong nigga. And it's always the outsiders chiming in on shit. You see how I don't volunteer no opinion on shit. I don't know Nothing about. Come on.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, it's like if you had a little boo Boo podcast. Like, girl, just because you watch the thing doesn't mean, you know.

[Crissle West]

I don't know nothing about. Right. You are just automatically dismissing her because she's a woman, and that's kind of shitty. And don't nobody want to hear that from you of all people. So.

[Kid Fury]

And you, like, around the corner from the point. But she's just.

[Crissle West]

And we all know it's never going. Everybody knows the two of them are never gonna be in a real fight. That whoever's in charge, they not gonna let that happen. Like, that's never gonna be a real thing. So if she wants to, I mean, I just don't see the. Like, let her pop her shit. Unless you think you could take her. I don't know why you would even.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, yeah. I actually love my fighters to run their mouth and be confident. Like, aggressively confident. Cause that's a huge part of the fucking game. You can't go into no ring, pussy. You have to go into a ring.

[Crissle West]

You can't be all meek.

[Kid Fury]

Like, I am going to beat this person's ass. The moment that your spirit breaks, it's over for you.

[Crissle West]

Okay?

[Kid Fury]

That's why Mike Tyson used to eat the bitches up. Because they would just look at him in the ring and be like, I wanna go home.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, that nigga dead behind the eyes. Actually, somebody get me outta here. I'm scared. I'm not the scared.

[Kid Fury]

So, Clarissa, again, I love your record for you. I don't know where a lot of these arguments be coming from, but fighters are supposed to be confident. Papoose, she's a little cocky for me.

[Crissle West]

She said it out loud, and Papoose was like, yeah, you could, baby. And that was awesome.

[Kid Fury]

That's why she's so obsessed with him.

[Crissle West]

And that's all she needed.

[Kid Fury]

Yikes. Girl, have you seen Pinky Cole's Miss Rachel video? Mrs. Pinky?

[Crissle West]

No, I have not. Why would Pinky. Why would Pinky.

[Kid Fury]

What did she spoofed Ms. Rachel?

[Crissle West]

Why?

[Kid Fury]

Over Soulja Boy's crank, that beat? To explain to you niggas at home how bankruptcy works.

[Crissle West]

Oh, so that's what this was. Yeah, I did hear about a bankruptcy

[Kid Fury]

video, but it was fucking hilarious. Oh, Pinky, it was so funny. So Pinky, recently, I think she's on the New Housewives. I'll have to watch that. She reportedly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. So I think this happens a lot, just across culture, that people don't really know how bankruptcy works. And they just think that means you don't have any money. Yeah, there are a few different forms of bankruptcy. From what I know, Mother. Being an accountant from this video I'm learning right now. There you go.

[Crissle West]

I never heard of all this.

[Kid Fury]

So, you know, chapter 11 don't mean you ain't got no money. It just means that you, like, you are. You are being given the opportunity. Like, you're reorganizing and place planning out how to settle debts and do on. So, like, you're basically almost, like, coming up with a plan.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Of how you're going to settle these payments or debts and things like that. While. While that happens, you, like, credit collections are frozen. You don't have to deal with, like, foreclosure. You still get to keep your assets, run your business. Chapter 11 is just like, okay, as far as this goes, we gonna freeze shit up for you so you can come up with a plan. You better come up with it soon, so on and so forth. I mean, you ain't got no damn money right now.

[Crissle West]

I did know that, but I also. I just didn't know the details, much less that there were all these different kinds of it. I think the issue here is that when niggas hear bankrupt, we think of, like, Monopoly, where if you bankrupt, you out the game. And so. No, I'm so serious.

[Kid Fury]

No. And. And I'm not looking at. I'm making this face because I'm mad. I didn't think of that.

[Crissle West]

I really think everybody is thinking, oh, bankruptcy. Oh, like, you can't play the game no more. Oh, okay. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, my God. The fact that this is probably true,

[Crissle West]

and so I'm not. I knew that she had made a video, but I hadn't seen it. This is cute.

[Kid Fury]

It's really funny.

[Crissle West]

It is. Yeah. And I'm actually sitting here learning something, child. It's chapter 9 and 12 and 13 and all kind of bankruptcies. Who the fuck knew?

[Kid Fury]

Oh, yeah. Many.

[Crissle West]

I had no idea. So, yeah, girl.

[Kid Fury]

Did you know that they. Did you know that Ms. Rachel is getting backlash for saying children shouldn't die? Oh, yeah.

[Crissle West]

They've been big mad at that since the war started with Israel and Palestine. Since Israel started bombing Palestine, she's been saying, maybe Palestinian children deserve to live. And they were like, fuck you. They have been mad at Miss Rachel for years. Yes, yes, yes. There's a little girl, a little Palestinian girl named Rafa, who I think lost her legs, maybe one or both legs. And Rafa is on the show every now and then, and they Just get irate. How dare you say that Children across the world, no matter what they look like, deserve to grow up. Yeah, Pissed. Pissed. When was it Israel or the U.S. that bombed that school in Iran and killed, like, 160 little girls or something?

[Kid Fury]

This was just in.

[Crissle West]

I feel like that was last week or so. Ms. Rachel said something then about this is 100.

[Kid Fury]

That's where I heard about it.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. Oh, yes. So when she advocates for brown children,

[Kid Fury]

they drag her, apparently.

[Crissle West]

Oh, they be. They're pissed. But they can't turn away from her because their children are obsessed with her.

[Kid Fury]

Absolutely.

[Crissle West]

So they can't turn her off, but they want her to only care about white kids. Right. And she just refuses.

[Kid Fury]

Imagine the host and face of an incredibly popular and positive children's program.

[Crissle West]

Children. It's for. It is for babies, specifically. Like, I don't even understand how y' all are this mad.

[Kid Fury]

Like, it is really fascinating to think that there really are people, especially very powerful people, that don't give a fuck about children. Will bond them, kill them, don't care if they live, die, and they go

[Crissle West]

right to sleep at night. Yep, no problem.

[Kid Fury]

And they sleep at night, probably with children, and wake up the next day and do it all over again. Like, how do you just not. And then you live under this guise, especially here, of, like, the children are the future and none of them should have their genitals mutilized. Did you hear this bitch say mutilization?

[Crissle West]

Are we talking about Chris, the president? Oh, I'm like, is it Christy? Is it Pam? It was the. No, but, you know, she can't speak. She. She. She has trouble with words. Like, she did speech pathologist. Real bad, actually. She stumbles over herself constantly. So I'm not.

[Kid Fury]

The president said the children shouldn't be subject to gender mutilization. And I was watching this shit home, and I said, what did she just say now?

[Crissle West]

Of all the words I've ever heard, I don't believe that's one of them.

[Kid Fury]

I think somebody at the monitor in the back went and put in all caps. Mutilation. Mutilation. Say it again.

[Crissle West]

What? What? Possession.

[Kid Fury]

He very quickly found a way to say that word again so he could say it right. Yo, dumbass girl, we call that you stupid bitch. I hate these bitches. I hate them so big.

[Crissle West]

It's bad. It's bad.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, you. The. The children's genitals. And we. We want them to not. We want them to not watch Drag Race and also not have black friends and also not ask questions like what the fuck? You can't even pretend to like kids here.

[Crissle West]

You don't actually give a shit about these children beyond the womb. You just want them born and that's it.

[Kid Fury]

You have to forget to care for them. When you talked about that lady who was dead in the hospital.

[Crissle West]

Oh, yes, that lady in Atlanta. And I think that child has severe issues.

[Kid Fury]

That was one of the grossest, unbelievable things I've ever heard.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

So, like, of course, really don't care about kids and don't mind killing them. I just don't understand, like. Like, if I accidentally harmed a baby or injured a baby, I would. I would not be able to sleep. Cold sweat.

[Crissle West]

Right, Right.

[Kid Fury]

Just killing them.

[Crissle West]

We, you know, care.

[Kid Fury]

So, yeah, there's that.

[Crissle West]

There is that.

[Kid Fury]

Let me tell you who doesn't care. King Harris, baby. Speaking of the children, have you heard the disrespect?

[Crissle West]

This has been so delightful. Like, it's just been so much fun.

[Kid Fury]

Why is this song so good? What is happening? What is happening?

[Crissle West]

I'm having a good time. A lot of y' all are picking apart his lyrics. And if it's that good, and this is that. I'm having a ball with this.

[Kid Fury]

I think, first of all, the song is good.

[Crissle West]

I. I'd like it, too. I've seen some criticisms, but I'm like, I think y' all are missing out. First of all, I like it, but also the joy of this family collectively being like, nah, not. That bitch is just really bringing me a lot of joy. I'm having a good time with this.

[Kid Fury]

It is so delightful that especially this young one is meeting that old nigga exactly where he's at, and it's taking

[Crissle West]

him where he does not want to, baby. Smoking on your girl. He said, I am smoking literally on that Sabrina Jackson pack.

[Kid Fury]

No, literally. He's selling CBD named Ms. Jackson Pack.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

I just.

[Crissle West]

When he sampled. I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson. That was crazy. But. Wait, was that him or his brother?

[Kid Fury]

That. I think his brother sat.

[Crissle West]

Put that. Okay. One of them. One of them children kind of all look alike to me, but yeah, yeah, they. He is smelling, selling Ms. J with that lady picture printed on the fucking bag.

[Kid Fury]

He said you named 50 cents. Cause your mama gave it cheating. What was the line?

[Crissle West]

Yikes.

[Kid Fury]

What was that one line he said? He said something about raising my son to be a man. He can't say him the same. The same as me. Oh, I have to fight this. This was kind of like. I'm sorry. Both Diss Records, Damani's was like. It took me a while to get into it. I didn't care for the hook. By the time I got to like the second half of that first verse, I was like, oh yeah, he's cooking. He's riding the beat. Yeah, King's Harris, King's song front to back. I liked it as individual record. Some of it I couldn't really understand what he was saying. But the shit that I could understand, he was talking about 50 burning the house down. He said, oh, he be ready to clock some T but he won't fuck with me or get back with me.

[Crissle West]

What the fuck was that?

[Kid Fury]

I'm sorry, I have to play it, okay, I have to play it. This was so fucking funny. Actually, it doesn't matter. Let's move on. Let's just move on. I am delighted it has been a good time because he does shit like this all the time. I saw a couple people when King was like, oh, we selling the Ms. Jackson OG packs 50. If you want one, you can get it. They made a fucking page for it already. I'm like, you know what? I'm inspired.

[Crissle West]

I love this. I actually love it.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, they because nigga, you do this type of shit. I saw people being like, oh, that's too far. That's fucked up. 50 Cent does shit like this all the time.

[Crissle West]

Yep, yep. And that's why this is such a joy for me to watch. Because when people don't never get back at 50's ass as consistent like this has been non stop. One of them little light skinned children has put something out every fucking week, at least for weeks.

[Kid Fury]

And that with the and their mama.

[Crissle West]

But the weed though, well, I mean. And most niggas you not gonna play with they mama, I'm telling you. I don't know why you brought Tiny Anna in the.

[Kid Fury]

The fire explained exactly. She ain't even say nothing to you, Child. Dub kids said, girls, guess what? You can hold each one of our light skinned balls. Yep, you are getting it today, bitch. And I know down the line these are, this is Ti and his kids. I know it won't be too long down the line till something will happen in the headlines and 50 Cent will be eating it up, you know, being petty da da da like he always does. As long as you know, bitch, that these little niggas when it came down to for song to song. Cause he caught himself trying to like diss them on like a theme song for a new show or something. Two hours later, both of these niggas had songs on Top of your head. So as long as you know song for song, these two little light skinned n you. They ate you.

[Crissle West]

They did.

[Kid Fury]

Ate you. So post your AI photos or whatever the fuck you want to. When they get in trouble down the law the line. When it comes down to their mother. When it comes. What does Delicious say? When it comes down to my mother. When it comes down to my mother with your ugly ass mama.

[Crissle West]

Wait, Delicious as in Deal is his?

[Kid Fury]

No,

[Crissle West]

from Flavor of Love. Is that who we talk about? Don't look at me like that.

[Kid Fury]

It doesn't matter. Cause I'm not talking about it anymore. I mean, I'm not. Deal is his.

[Crissle West]

That's how it's spelled.

[Kid Fury]

I've never heard that though. That is exactly how it is spelled.

[Crissle West]

But isn't that why he called her that? Isn't that why.

[Kid Fury]

I don't even remember. This is. I don't. What other things have I missed or just smoked out?

[Crissle West]

I mean, it's been a long time. It's been a long time.

[Kid Fury]

I thought he just named her Delicious. Cause she was thick as fuck.

[Crissle West]

Cause she was. Yeah, but I thought they spelled it that way, like deal is his. I thought they did that on purpose.

[Kid Fury]

Like, I thought they did it. Cause he ghetto, right?

[Crissle West]

But I just don't know. I don't know if that was actually verbalized on the show or if I dream that up. Okay. It's possible.

[Kid Fury]

I think I'd remember if someone said deal is his.

[Crissle West]

It's possible that I did that in my own brain. If I could remember how to spell it. It's possible.

[Kid Fury]

I think you did.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Cause you also do that.

[Crissle West]

I would. Yes, I do.

[Kid Fury]

You do that.

[Crissle West]

I do that all the time, so. Mm.

[Kid Fury]

Well, New York has said something sick about her mama. When the mothers came on the show the second season on the Reunion.

[Crissle West]

So it was still as he was.

[Kid Fury]

When it comes down to my mother. And when it comes down to my mother, which I'm an ugly ass mama bitch. That's what King said. He said. Oh.

[Crissle West]

And he wasn't wrong.

[Kid Fury]

Let me introduce you to somebody. Cause I'm with all that petty shit. The difference is I'm 21 and you're 50. I'm not gonna get tired, baby.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. I'm not gonna get. Literally, I'm not gonna get tired. I can do this all fucking day. So my mama, yes, she might have went to Turkey and got a new eye color installed, but that's none of your fucking business. And you better shut your fucking trap when it comes to that little lady,

[Kid Fury]

she might have been running around the streets with my daddy doing things I don't want to discuss, but that's their goddamn business. And you better. And you ain't even. She ain't say nothing to you. Fuck is you bringing my mama up?

[Crissle West]

You know who can say something about mama, right?

[Kid Fury]

Wrong. She's my mama.

[Crissle West]

The da.

[Kid Fury]

Exactly, bitch. Which is probably you with your snitching ass. That's what they say. He's an informant, I guess. I think niggas just be saying that about each other.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. Are all of you not informants one way? No. If shit get bad enough, all of y'. All. Well, all of y' all finna say something, so. But okay.

[Kid Fury]

Nicki Minaj's little sister went to Cardi B's concert. Lots of people went to Cardi B's concert. Ming was one of them. It is now dramatic, of course. Ming was that with the. I think the tour is called Little Miss Drama. And then she was also at the after party. So everyone is like, oh, my God. They're either pissed at Ming and saying she's disloyal. Even though I can't think of the last time I saw Ming and Nikki in the same room or heard Nikki speak about Ming. Also, if Nicki Minaj was my sister, we wouldn't be close either. Right now.

[Crissle West]

I would be doing the same shit if Nicki Minaj was blood related to me. Like, please, please. I'm trying to distance myself from that weird bitch.

[Kid Fury]

Apollo. Go away from me.

[Crissle West]

Go away from me with this Apollo. Oh, good for her.

[Kid Fury]

Cardi B spoke about it on spaces or whatever for a bit, but she didn't really say anything surprising and worth mentioning. She was just like. Essentially she was like, what the fuck I'm supposed to do? Have an attitude in this girl face? I think she needs guidance. She's a young girl.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. She's not baddie.

[Kid Fury]

Unfortunately, she needs help. She said, unfortunately, I can't give it to her because it's too close to home for obvious reasons, Right? But she was like, she wanted to come to the show. She came to the show. I'm glad she had a good time. Like, it's not even that. It shouldn't be that big a deal. If anything, I feel like she might need some guidance. Cause she's really young, so I'm not gonna be a dickhead, right?

[Crissle West]

And I think this is smart of Cardi to be like, yeah, the girl can come around. You know, she can come to the show. She can hang out at the after party. We not finna be doing shots out of each other's assholes or whatever. Like we not. No besties or nothing like that. But clearly somebody dropped the ball in raising this girl. You Nicki Minaj's sister, but you won't fucking. But you on baddies. Like something went wrong. Somebody really fucked up in the raising and caring of you. So I care, you know, I'm not gonna be a bitch about it, but I'm not finna act like I'm taking her under my wing either. I think that's. I think that's very funny. And she knew. And she knew. She knew that it would really, really piss off Nikki and however many barbs still, of course. And that is worth it.

[Kid Fury]

Of course it. She wrapped it up in a very polite way and went back on tour. For me to do shit to me.

[Crissle West]

You can't even be mad at me for that. Go talk to your fucking sister if you got an issue. But that's not. Why is your sister want to be aligned with Cardi B and not you? Oh, cause you on some dumb shit.

[Kid Fury]

Stephan Diggs mama was also at the concert.

[Crissle West]

No, she wasn't. Shut up now.

[Kid Fury]

You just saying. I promise you. Stephon Diggs mama was not only at. At the sold out show in Houston, she was wearing the like attire. You know how the performers now the artists be like, here's the lookbook or whatever for the show. She was dressed up in the gigs, in the zhuzh. Stephon Diggs Mama. She was out there. They said she had a good ass time.

[Crissle West]

Well, that's the mother of one of her grandbabies, so. Yeah, that makes sense.

[Kid Fury]

DeAndre Hopkins mom was also. I think they went there together.

[Crissle West]

Well, I mean, Megan was there. Hell, everybody was there. That Houston show really had. I was deeply jealous of you hoes that got to see Meg out there with Cardi. But yeah, it's a popular show. It's like sold out. Tickets is like $500. Yeah, n is in there. Yeah, it's extreme popular.

[Kid Fury]

Speaking of Stephon Diggs, he just got fired. Well, what a snowball effect, you know, just. And it still seems to be rolling down that. Nope, that's not it. All right, so the New England Patriots have cut Diggy Diggs. He had a three year contract. 63 and a half million of the dollars. And after that super bowl loss, New England Patriots said, you can march your heavy ass wherever the. You want me to come back here?

[Crissle West]

Well, yeah, I mean, nobody really expected the Patriots to go to the super bowl this season. So I'm not even comfortable blaming it on the super bowl loss. I think it's overwhelmingly all this other bullshit he has going on.

[Kid Fury]

I'm just saying after that loss.

[Crissle West]

Got you. Gotcha.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. Cause I don't. I mean, yeah, he didn't have a great game, but you could have done a lot worse than Stefon Diggs did over this past season. So I think it is the four or five kids he had last year, this court case with his former chef talking about him be her ass and hiding her money and. Right. Yeah. And. And this is not the first time or third time that these kind of

[Kid Fury]

three cases he's dealing with right now.

[Crissle West]

Right. So New England said, you know, we already. Our owner is already in the Epstein files. We really don't have work. We only have space for one felon who abuses women.

[Kid Fury]

We're trying to get back to the super bowl at some point. So.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. So, I mean, I don't know where

[Kid Fury]

he'll end up controlling.

[Crissle West]

Just probably in Atlanta. Feel like Atlanta will take him, but we shall see.

[Kid Fury]

Don't speak that onto them. You already have a birthday for that goddamn.

[Crissle West]

I do every year. Every year. My baby's turning 10 next year.

[Kid Fury]

When I saw the bluey cake, I was like, okay, yeah, yeah, That's.

[Crissle West]

Everybody was like, this is too far.

[Kid Fury]

I don't think it was far enough.

[Crissle West]

It wasn't.

[Kid Fury]

You should have got one of them, like, a bluey mascot to come over.

[Crissle West]

I had life size cutouts, the cardboard cutouts. But, yeah, I should have had somebody dress up in the costume, but I did. I had Bandit and Chilli and Bingo and Bluey Life size. That N. Them niggas was tall as me in the house.

[Kid Fury]

Serious.

[Crissle West]

You should have heard the bakery when they were like, and the child's name is 28. 3. I said, yeah, yeah, 28. Hyphen, 3. Just numerals. You know, it's fun jokes. It's an inside joke. It's a family nickname.

[Kid Fury]

Are you sure he's not, like, an experiment? Did you grow this child somewhere? Why does he have a resident evil name?

[Crissle West]

They're like, okay, we listen when you sign this and we make this cake. Don't come back and be like, why did y' all do that?

[Kid Fury]

Right?

[Crissle West]

Fierce Stephan will figure it out. He'll be all right.

[Kid Fury]

Of course he will.

[Crissle West]

He'll be just fine.

[Kid Fury]

I mean, assuming child support don't bleed him dry.

[Crissle West]

Well,

[Kid Fury]

girl, somebody. This lady. Please explain this white lady who went over to Rihanna house with an AR15.

[Crissle West]

Oh. Mentally ill as sweetheart. Fuck.

[Kid Fury]

Every single person in this part in this woman's life failed her. Like, everybody failed this person.

[Crissle West]

It's something wrong with that lady. For real. I saw her old videos on TikTok. It's really something wrong with her. Oh, yeah, no.

[Kid Fury]

Rihanna, the devil. The devil has had her focus. She's so jealous of me. And that's why.

[Crissle West]

That's when I saw. Oh, no.

[Kid Fury]

She's trying to, like, sabotage me. Rihanna, you'll never win because God this and the devil that and you're a whore this.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Like, multiple videos of Ray large span of time are not only directed to Rihanna in a destructive and malicious way. It also seems to that she truly believes.

[Crissle West]

Yep, yep.

[Kid Fury]

That Rihanna knows who she is and is working to harm her or. And. Or send her to hell. These were posted on her socials, Facebook, Tik Tok. She claimed she had an attorney.

[Crissle West]

So many videos where she just went on and on in her psychosis about

[Kid Fury]

who knew you and did nothing. How did you get in assault? Well, I was gonna say, how did you get an assault rifle? She could have just got that Burger King.

[Crissle West]

I mean, but it's California. That's a good question. Literally, how did you get this automatic Florida. Oh, so she brought it from Florida. Girl, did you drive from. Oh, my God.

[Kid Fury]

Nuts.

[Crissle West]

When I saw Rihanna scooped up them children and got.

[Kid Fury]

And got on the first thing smoking.

[Crissle West]

First thing, I said, oh, y' all will never know where she lives again. Never, girl.

[Kid Fury]

Them bullets barely touched. They hit the gate, right? Which is apparently electrified because I had to do my Googles. I'm like, how the fuck did this bitch who apparently thinks that Rihanna is an assassin, how the fuck did she pull up to this lady's house with an AR?

[Crissle West]

Yeah, that's a good question.

[Kid Fury]

They said she has 24 hour security. Of course, they say she has electrified gates. She has that huge mansion. But then they said she also bought the property next door to make it bigger.

[Crissle West]

Why not?

[Kid Fury]

Either way, she never going back. Somebody out on the property with an assault rifle, right? And I'm home.

[Crissle West]

Shot at the house and at the Airstream that they had. So Rihanna and Rocky were in the Airstream. Like a camper that was on the property. The kids, her mama, and two staff members, I think were all in the house, Rob. Right? So that's why it's like eight counts of assault, and then there's one for, like, attempted murder and some. It's a lot of charges on this lady. She's not beating It. She's never seen outside again. But I also. I do believe, mentally there's something going on there that medication and therapy probably could have helped out a lot with. And I don't know what happened to her. But, yeah, we will never know where Rihanna. Them cute videos of Rihanna, like, coming outside and saying hi to people and stuff like that. That's over. Oh, yeah, that's dead. You will never see that again. We will never, ever know where that lady live. If she come back to the States, we will never know where she lived.

[Kid Fury]

Whoo.

[Crissle West]

She couldn't get out of there fast enough. And I said, I know that's right. That shit is.

[Kid Fury]

She might just move to Barbados.

[Crissle West]

That's what I'm saying. She really might just stay in Barbados. Be like, I'm fucked up, crazy.

[Kid Fury]

She Beijing, Rocky, Bajan. They might just go out there. And I mean, we've been. Rihanna has a banner.

[Crissle West]

Beautiful.

[Kid Fury]

She has a baby mural in the airport.

[Crissle West]

Oh, no. As soon as you get there, they like Rihanna. Like, you gonna know one fucking thing about the churro. That arm. Oh, the people love when I do that.

[Kid Fury]

Sure. Yeah. No, they are like, this place belongs to her. She has property there. I believe she has some houses. That lady might legit. Just go and buy the biggest house on the island, which they might. She might not even need to buy it. They might just give it to her.

[Crissle West]

Are you coming home? Yeah, just take it. Just take it. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Would not blame her. What the fuck is going on? Listen, I don't know if this might be like, an outdated or term or whatever. She needs to be in a mental institution for the criminally insane, whatever that is called now. Not just a mental hospital.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, a grippy sock institution.

[Kid Fury]

She needs to be up in the girlies. Because I knew it was legit mental. Like, not even just mental. I don't know. Dysfunction. I knew that she had an actual problem.

[Crissle West]

Oh, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

When she was talking about Rihanna's wig, wigs with that wig she had on,

[Crissle West]

you said, oh, no, something's wrong. For real.

[Kid Fury]

You are not putting this fucking spirit Halloween wig on and unironically, like, coming for anybody else's wig. That's when I was like, oh, yeah, this is damaging. This person truly needs. Needed someone to step in. Now it won't be nobody stepping in but them nurses.

[Crissle West]

So you are not oriented to time and place. You are not in your right mind. I mean, the. And the TikTok at this point has put up compilations of her old videos where you can just sit there and

[Kid Fury]

watch there's so many.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, you are really. I believe the clinical turn is cuckoo. Like, ooh, something's really not going well up there in your mind. And it's just a damn shame that you were able to get your hands on this kind of weapon and get yourself to this woman's home. Like, what the fuck did you do to get.

[Kid Fury]

I believe she truly drove from Orlando or Tampa, wherever the fuck she from, to LA with that gun.

[Crissle West]

Well, I think she really believed the things she was saying in her videos. Yes. You really believed Rihanna hated you and then the devil was working with Rihanna to tear your life down or whatever. Like, girl, nurse, nurse.

[Kid Fury]

I really. Skipping her prescriptions again from whoever is in her life. I want to hear from parent, guardian, best friend, follower, whomever was around and was like, yeah, I, I, I saw the eyes scratched out in her loud cover. I saw that she had stuck a knife into the poster of, you know, good girl gone bad. But I just thought she was being expressive, like, thought she was an artist. I really want to hear from whoever was in this girl's life.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, well, I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't taking her medication. And so people exited her life that she actually, when she made this decision to come confront Rihanna, that she did not have people around her probably to point out what actually does make sense or what is real. Because when people are that deep in delusion or psychosis or whatever it may be, you saying something to counteract that will just piss them off and make them distrust you and all that. So they probably like, look, I tried years ago. She did not listen. She does. I don't even know if she's doing what she's supposed to be doing. And I'm very. This is very crazy. I'm glad nobody actually got hurt. Like, like, this could have been. This is, it is just. This is why I never, I never think celebrities are taking it too far when it comes to privacy and security. It's almost like you, you can't do too much to. This is what you. You ain't never going to see Beyonce going live to show y' all the inside of her house or whatever the fuck else. Like, this is why you cannot be too cautious when you are a public figure, because it's people out there who you've never met who see you do an interview or something. Or maybe she has a crush on ASAP Rocky. And now ASAP Rocky is all over Vogue talking about how much he's in love with you and you're the princess of his world. And now this woman has a vendetta against you because of. It could be anything. You never know what the general public is dealing with. You could.

[Kid Fury]

It could be nothing.

[Crissle West]

Pull something out of your ass. And it could be that it is just so many options. And that's why protecting yourself has to be what's most important. So if that lady says, yeah, I'm going to Barbados, and me and my children dipping mangoes in the ocean for the rest of our lives, I do not blame you, sis. Cause this is wild.

[Kid Fury]

If Tyra Banks can move to Australia and send us warmed. I mean, milkshakes. I guess I still don't know how that works. You can move back to your home country and be like, I'm doing so. Because you bitches are crazy. Each and every one of y' all hoes the crazy. I'm not doing it. Imagine. And you're like, when you were one of the biggest pop stars on the planet. You have had to dealt with a lot of people crossing boundaries, a lot of people doing too much. People touching you and, you know, just being extraed out.

[Crissle West]

Yep.

[Kid Fury]

Imagine being at home with your three babies.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. I cannot. Yes.

[Kid Fury]

Somebody is outside with an assault rifle while you're at home with your family.

[Crissle West]

And what if in killing all of y'.

[Kid Fury]

All.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. Yeah. You have the means to get the fuck away, child. Cause this, the gun issue. This is uniquely American. So. Girl, every country has weirdos. Every country has mentally ill people. Every country has people who don't understand boundaries or have parasocial relationships with celebrities.

[Kid Fury]

But they might evolve because of it.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, but the gun thing. But Call of Duty, Child, it's really too much. I feel for her. My heart immediately broke for Rihanna. Cause that has to be so fucking disorienting. But like I said, I highly doubt she ever steps foot on that property again. Somebody packing up the rest of her thing, blame her. And she will not be back. That shit will be on the market shortly. Just you wait.

[Kid Fury]

For lease.

[Crissle West]

Like, bitch, for $98,000 a month, you can rent this home.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crissle West]

Mm. Mm.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. This young. What's the fuck is her name? Ivana Ortiz.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Ma'.

[Crissle West]

Am.

[Kid Fury]

I pray that wherever they put you, because they're gonna make you take the marriage.

[Crissle West]

Oh, yeah. They are going to.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crissle West]

You're gonna be for. And when you. When you come back to your real self and realize what you did, you are going to feel like such shit. I don't envy you for that. But.

[Kid Fury]

But they have people in the place. They're gonna Help you in that era.

[Crissle West]

There'll be a lot of people for you to talk to about.

[Kid Fury]

And you better get used to it. Cause you gonna be in there for the rest of your goddamn life. So you might as well chime in, have something to say, bitch.

[Crissle West]

Might as well.

[Kid Fury]

You gonna be there forever.

[Crissle West]

Get used to group girl. Say goodbye to shoelaces. You will not be a part of that world any longer.

[Kid Fury]

And I wouldn't be surprised, like you said, if there. There are people in their life or were people in our life that were like, we can't make her take the meds.

[Crissle West]

Yep.

[Kid Fury]

You know, but you can't. She's not. We don't even know where she is half the goddamn time you want me to do. I have a life of my own. And they probably didn't expect that she on a mega gun drive across the country and try to kill a celebrity.

[Crissle West]

Right? Cause that. Oh, Lord, just think about how many people you know who make a video about a celebrity they don't like versus how many people take it this goddamn far. Mental illness is real. At first I was like, who would do some shit like this? I saw one of them videos and said, every question has been answered. Every question has been answered. She is not well. I do believe that.

[Kid Fury]

Well, Rihanna is moving, and we're certainly never getting an album.

[Crissle West]

And just so y' all know that R9 you've been crying about. Continue to weep, whores. I'm not putting shit out. What you think I'm gonna go promote something?

[Kid Fury]

Go out and be like, bitch, I'm not even listening to music no more. Kiss my ass. Like growing fruits and veggies with my baby. My baby's in my nigga family and all, girl. You guys got the world. I ate my dues. I am done.

[Crissle West]

She finna do like Mama Coco when she thought her husband ran off for the music industry and ban all sound in her home. It ain't finna be no melodies. It ain't no humming. It ain't no harmonica, it ain't no flutes in this bitch.

[Kid Fury]

Everybody got earmuffs on.

[Crissle West]

All y' all finna do something else. You finna make clocks. You finna be a teacher?

[Kid Fury]

Absolutely.

[Crissle West]

You're not doing no music.

[Kid Fury]

You feeling architecture. How are you feeling about that farming?

[Crissle West]

Oh, man, Tragic.

[Kid Fury]

Cause let me tell you something.

[Crissle West]

Thank God it didn't me go much worse. Thank God it didn't.

[Kid Fury]

I'm looking for properties on the moon, Bitch, you hoes are never gonna see me again. My mama and my kids here right

[Crissle West]

I mean, I shot back bitch. Like, in all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if she came back to la. But again, it's gonna be a fortress. It's gonna be. You will simply never ever know. You won't even be able to sniff at where that lady is living.

[Kid Fury]

I wouldn't be surprised, yeah, if she keeps her property here and maybe when she has to be in la, comes back and kicks it. But I think that she is going to, at the very least, least going to be out of the country for an extended period.

[Crissle West]

Who could blame her, right? Exactly.

[Kid Fury]

Everything canceled. Well, with that, girlies, we're gonna go ahead and end hot talks and we will come back for your letters.

[Crissle West]

I think that's just. I think they just don't want to write ks. No, I think they just don't want to write KS and X shorter.

[Kid Fury]

I refuse.

[Crissle West]

Well, it's. I'm almost certain that that's what it is. Or they think they're being cute. One or the other, they think it's.

[Kid Fury]

I hate that for all of us.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

All right. What you got? What do you got?

[Crissle West]

Righty. Send your Questions to AskTheRead Gmail.com we may read them aloud on the show. So like I said, we do have a letter this week from Kami who said for Kid Fury. Did you see the Pokemon Wind and Waves trailer? And which starter are you leaning towards right now? My heart is saying Femboy Gekwa, but I'm actually growing to love brought as well. And then they also mentioned Pocopia, which we have covered. So.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, Kami, to answer your question, Wind and Waves is like the new iteration, like I said, of main Pokemon. Like back in the day, it was blue, red, green, and then it was like silver and gold, crystal and whatever. But this one's Wind and Waves because they've run out of rocks or whatever.

[Crissle West]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Last one was Sword and Shield. I was like, all right, yeah, move on.

[Crissle West]

Getting weird.

[Kid Fury]

I am in love with this one though, because it's islands, duh. And there's like underwater, so that's interesting. I think it's also going to be a switch to exclusive. I think it comes out the end of this year.

[Crissle West]

Drat.

[Kid Fury]

I mean, you will love Poke Opia way worse.

[Crissle West]

That's what I mean. Honestly, I've been thinking about it the entire time we have been recording this.

[Kid Fury]

It is so cute.

[Crissle West]

I'm like, oh, gotta let me know. I need that thing.

[Kid Fury]

The character you play as is actually a ditto. You know what a ditto. Ditto's the like the little pink blob.

[Crissle West]

Oh.

[Kid Fury]

That can transform into like any other Pokemon. Oh.

[Crissle West]

Oh, yeah. Ditto copy. Oh.

[Kid Fury]

So then.

[Crissle West]

Oh, right.

[Kid Fury]

This ditto turns into a human or makes himself look. Makes itself look like a human. But you get to pick what the human looks like. So obviously mine. Black.

[Crissle West]

Okay, Makes sense.

[Kid Fury]

Different outfits and.

[Crissle West]

Oh, that's so. That's so smart. Instead of just.

[Kid Fury]

That's very cute.

[Crissle West]

Designing a person. They're like, here's your ditto. Oh, that's so smart. Oh, I want it bad. God damn it, I want it.

[Kid Fury]

And the character you make is based on like, basically you start as like, oh, what is your trainer? The guy that or the person who trained you. What do they look like? So you're basically Ditto. The person you make for Ditto is like the trainer that they're looking for.

[Crissle West]

I just googled this and Google has a fucking catch Pokemon Google game or whatever you call those little Google pop up things where it's like a little pokeball and you click that and you can catch Pokemon like you can. God damn it. Okay, anyway, I want it bad, so But Wind and Waves.

[Kid Fury]

I'm gonna get the one called Waves just because water. And as far as the starter, I'm for sure going for Pon Bon because it looks like Link, the fire dog. It kind of looks like Link. I would go with the water one because I usually pick water starters and I feel like the lizard is going to have really cute evolutions and stuff. But I. I need that dog. It looks like my Dog, Kind of. I never really pick a grass starter. I don't think I've ever picked a grass starter. But the. The owl with the Drake eyebrows is cute, but. Yeah, I'm getting that dog.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Do you see the starters?

[Crissle West]

I'm looking at them right now and I see why you're going with the puppy. Oh, it. It literally says named after Pomeranian and bonfire. Pom Bon.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crissle West]

Oh, okay. Well, so cute. They are adorable, guys. God damn it. Oh, how adorable.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. I can't wait to see what they evolve into. I don't think they've shown this yet, but I love the idea of, like being able to travel around different islands with your Pokemon and go underwater somehow. But yeah, I'm not. I'm not going to hold my breath on that one. We'll see what the reviews are giving. But baby Pokeopia, what does Metacritic saying about my girl?

[Crissle West]

Oh, tens across the board.

[Kid Fury]

It's an 89.

[Crissle West]

That's pretty high.

[Kid Fury]

Yes. The highest Pokemon game. It's tea. So there you go. Waves starting with Pom Bon. I actually would make more sense to start with the water one in the water game. This is difficult. Yeah, yeah. I'm picking the puppy.

[Crissle West]

I'm done. All right. Thank you, Cammie, for your letter. Our next one comes from Arnold, who says. Hi guys. I'll get straight to it. My partner comes from a very large family and has over time been pulled into a de facto co parenting role due to one of their parents becoming inconsistent and overwhelmed. When that parent reaches a breaking point, the expectation is often that we will step in and absorb the fallout. Now another younger family member has been pushed out of their home, and again, there is an unspoken assumption that they will come live with us. This situation is complicated by the fact that the family member is dealing with serious mental health challenges. Following rejection and instability, there's a lot of tension between us and this parent in question. Our relationship is strained, unacknowledged, and shaped by judgment and control, which makes it incredibly hard for me to offer support because support feels like it's ultimately enabling this same cycle.

[Kid Fury]

Get it?

[Crissle West]

My partner and I have only very recently reached a place of emotional and financial stability after years of just getting by. And I'm very afraid of losing that hard won foot. I feel torn between compassion for someone who clearly needs help and the need to protect myself and my relationship and the life we're trying to build. I feel guilty for pushing back, and I'm aware that some of that resistance is tangled up in anger and resentment. I'm working through it in therapy, but it feels overwhelming and constant. Do y' all think I'm wrong for holding this boundary? How do you balance caring for someone in crisis while not sacrificing your own stability and well, being? Love to you both. On hard days, I remind myself, you need to stay alive because there's always a chance you could meet Beyonce. Say, okay. Valid.

[Kid Fury]

If anyone.

[Crissle West]

So valid. Thank God for you all.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, yeah.

[Crissle West]

Oh, yeah. They got that from you. Thanks, Arnold.

[Kid Fury]

Well, Arnold Palmer, I think you're going to say the same thing as me. You started probably.

[Crissle West]

Well, I mean, we kind of touched on this a little bit with this last hot Topic in that lady who is.

[Kid Fury]

I was going to say the exact same thing.

[Crissle West]

So it's just crazy how that segued from one into the other. But like you, you care for someone in crisis as much as you can without harming yourself. And also with the understanding that there is only so much you can do, you are not in control of the decisions that they make. And whatever choices they decide to make in their lives, you can't assume responsibility for. And it's easy to do that. It's easy to put that on yourself, like, oh, I should have stepped in. Oh, I should have done this. I should have made sure such and such. And it's like, you do have to find that point where you're not giving so much of yourself that what you need falls to the wayside. So it would be different. See, and here's the problem. For me, the issue is that, like, your partner should be the one. Like, y' all need to get on the same page about this because this is your partner's family, not your family. So, you know, every time something happens, the parent fucks up, one of the kids or whomever gets put out of the house, y' all are expected to step up and take care of it. Are you?

[Kid Fury]

Unspoken. My spirit.

[Crissle West]

Right. Unspoken assumption that, like, well, if everything goes to shit at home, it's fine because we can just come live with. Hey. Arnold. And. Right. And Helga. And it's like, no, the fuck you can't. Actually, Arnold and Helga. Helga would love that. But, yeah, you and I would say the first conversation has to be between you and your partner. Of, like, I feel like it's been years of us really hustling together. We're finally in a good place emotionally and financially. If we bring in someone else, it could be. It don't. It don't have to be this one person. It could be anybody. It could Be a pup.

[Kid Fury]

I was gonna say that, too.

[Crissle West]

If we bring in any living thing that's not a plant, it could really destroy this relationship. Like, we cannot handle the strain of that. We cannot handle the responsibility of that. That if you don't want to call it something that could have a negative connotation and.

[Kid Fury]

And we don't want to do it. And we don't want to do it.

[Crissle West]

I mean, there is that. There is also, you know, I. I think the two of you, though, have to be very clear and aligned on that because it sounds like your partner may be of the mind of, like, well, you know, that's my. That's how my family do. And I can't just let my other relative be out there with nowhere to go or whatever. And I get that. Like, that would be hard for me as well. But it's not just you in your home. So again, y' all have got to figure out what you're comfortable with doing and then stick to that. So do I think you're wrong for holding the boundary? No, not at all. Cause this sounds. Because again, when you. I see how when people just assume that no matter what, you'll be there to clean up whatever mess is made, it does end up contributing to this cycle of, like, bullshit behavior happening over and over again. And it's not even necessarily that the behavior would stop if you withdrew that support, but you getting pulled into this place of, like, I'm expected to do it automatically. And it's unspok. It's not even a question. It's not even people expressing, like, remorse or gratitude. It's just, oh, well, whatever bullshit happens, you'll clean it up. That's unfair to you.

[Kid Fury]

Mm.

[Crissle West]

So, yeah, I. It's hard because with mental health issues, the average everyday person is not like Ms. Yvette or whatever her name is who shot up Breanna House. Most of the people in her life probably not even remotely qualified to try to care for her in a real way. And that's why the line has to be your stability and your well being. You do what you can within your power and within your means without burning yourself out or driving yourself crazy, because somebody has to take care of you. And it's not gonna be these people, right? It's not gonna be the way you are overextending yourself. That's never going to be reciprocated. You're never going to get that level of care and devotion back because they're not capable of it. So you do what you can, Right? So you do what you can without draining yourself. That's how you can stay in relationship with people. You keep letting them drain you over and over and over. Eventually there's going to be a giant breaking point, and then things go to hell and you might never be on good terms with them again. So, yeah, that's what I think.

[Kid Fury]

What do you think exactly? That I think that you hit the nail on the head for me in multiple ways. But I cannot help but think about the fact that this is your partner's family that we're talking about. And so I don't know if you're equal with how frustrating this is. It does sound like it is a damper for both of you on top of the fact that you're finally feeling settled in this bullshit economy. I mean, crisis, global crisis.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, it's bad.

[Kid Fury]

I get you being like, hey, girl, let us just keep our eyes on the prize. The unspoken obligation to take in family members because somebody else has whatever issue that they have will like Crystal said, eventually boil over into a breaking point where everybody gets sprayed. Yeah, because you're just tired, period. And you want to hear no bullshit from anybody. I think that, you know, we've gotten a few emails like this before where people are like, I feel torn because I do feel, you know, I'm getting to these people, or I really, really care about these people, want to help them, or I wouldn't feel good about, you know, letting them deal with their own shit or turning my back on them or just placing boundaries around like that will make me feel bad. To that, I say, you'll get used to it, baby. You will get accustomed to it. You gotta put the line down and you gotta put it down and you have to stand on it. And now I would also say, expect when you do this, to have pushback of all kinds, just unpredictable pushback, because naturally people would push back. Oh, you know, I'm having a rough time mentally or whatever. And so how could you like this? This is how I can.

[Crissle West]

Oh.

[Kid Fury]

Because ultimately, when it comes down to this especially unspoken stuff and then you put your foot down, people are not accustomed to that. And they will get almost, like, frustrated with you because they not only are they used to you picking up pieces for them or slack for them, they almost get, like, frustrated with you because they're like, I know you're capable of doing this and you've done it before, and so now what? You have to work. So you hate me, right? So you want me to die is what you're saying, and go to hell and burn in hell. Like.

[Crissle West]

Or I just want me to be.

[Kid Fury]

Your behavior is my hell. So I'm saying hell.

[Crissle West]

Hell is trying to keep up with you and the way you act.

[Kid Fury]

That's all I'm saying. So if we could do something in our living earthly bodies about it.

[Crissle West]

Right. Right.

[Kid Fury]

Please. But yeah. I agree that you have to sit down with your partner and come up with a plan and be very firm on it. I don't know what kind of argument they would have if you're like saying these. Reasonable, you know.

[Crissle West]

Fair. This is all very rational. Yeah. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

You know, but I could understand them being a little bit more mixed on how to deal with it since it's their family. But every single point that you've made is completely valid. Fair. Um. And I. I think we both respect that. It's. It's complicated and you care. Which matters. But it shouldn't stop you from sticking up for yourself and assuring that you and your partner are safe and sound and healthy. Like, you will almost never be someone's last choice when it comes to getting help. Like you will almost never be the only person that a bitch could turn to.

[Crissle West]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

So you're just the easiest take care of you.

[Crissle West]

And you're. And you're the one they're used to turning to because you never say no.

[Kid Fury]

Exactly.

[Crissle West]

So they don't even explore what other options they have for support because they never have to. So, hello, it might be you are really. You are saving any chance of having a healthy relationship with these people by having boundaries so that you can do right. Especially your partner. So best of luck to y' all as y' all try to figure out that that's. It's tricky. But, you know, all you can do is your best. Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Crissle West]

Our last letter comes from Kyle, who says, I'm a 30 year old gay black man in Texas. So you can just start praying for me now off of that.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. I already started. Yeah.

[Crissle West]

Lately I've been thinking a lot about my life and what I want. I've been with my boyfriend for 10 years and I love him so much. But for some reason I cannot. And y' all got together when you were 20. Gay niggas and stayed together.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, my God.

[Crissle West]

Y' all are married.

[Kid Fury]

Okay. Do you ride unicorns? What the hell is.

[Crissle West]

I love him so much, but for some reason, I cannot escape the feeling that I might want to be single. We've been through a lot and have always been there for each other. And on paper, he's everything I Want, but there's a voice in the back of my head chirping away, saying it might be time to go. Now, typically, I would follow my gut, but on the flip side, I'm worried that thinking like these older men who have a midlife crisis and think the world would be so much better without.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, calm down.

[Crissle West]

Only to fall flat on their face and lose a good man.

[Kid Fury]

I didn't do shit to you.

[Crissle West]

Every time I hear you two talk about relationships, singlehood, and not having nobody in your house, my ears perk up. Like, damn. I'm trying to see what that's like.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, you've been with a nigga since you were a child, right?

[Crissle West]

You right. Since you were a baby. Okay, you've both talked about how difficult it can be to break up with someone for, quote, unquote, no reason.

[Kid Fury]

But like I said, oh, yeah, okay, sure.

[Crissle West]

I'm sure we have, but I can't tell if that's my case or if I'm imagining a solo La La land that doesn't really exist. My question is, how do you determine what is truly your gut instinct versus something that's just an impulse driven, wishful thinking scenario?

[Kid Fury]

Ooh, that's a good.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. Especially for decisions that could completely alter your life. I don't want to take the next step and later realize that I made the wrong decision, but I also don't want to stay and spend another 10 years thinking, Damn, this ain't actually what I want. I feel like I'm in a lose lose situation. Thank you both for all the good you put out into the world, especially during a time of all of this pure fucking stupidity, girl. Sincerely, Kyle.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, Kyle, that was a really good question. Um, I think typically I would just go one direct route with this, but because you and this nigga have been together for 10 years and you're 30, there's some magic in here. And I want us to. I want us to consider that before we get hasty. I think that it would be a good idea for you to talk to someone, preferably someone who is educated on having these kind of conversations about being single and what that means. We really can't answer for you on whether this is a gut feeling or just, you know, a fantasy or what have you. Um, you would know better than anyone, but I understand asking how to, you know, differentiate the two. I think you should speak to someone who deals with relationships. There are therapists that do that all the time. Um, if you're not already in therapy, you know, if you are, you could maybe Ask them for some advice. But all that to say, sure. Being single and, you know, without the burden of a N in your life, it can be. It can be pretty great. I'm having a good time with it. However, being a single gay black man is not the tea that you think it is. Baby, in Texas, this, In Texas you might locate especially because you've been in a relationship for 10 years and you saying, this is great on paper. I love when you say that. When people say, oh, they're great on paper. What paper? Which one?

[Crissle West]

Now you know what they mean.

[Kid Fury]

I know, but it's just silly thing to say to me. Yeah. You're saying that this nigga is great and everything, but there's just something scratching you in the back. I could have worded that better. There's just something.

[Crissle West]

You had to, didn't you? You just had to.

[Kid Fury]

It wasn't on purpose. It was not, I promise you.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

I don't think that you should put too many eggs in that basket without properly evaluating at first. Because you could be walking out on a relationship that really. It's not even that. It's just good for you. You could be walking out, out walking out on it prematurely. You could be walking out on it just based on something that. Like grass on the other side of the fence type shit.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

I think that if you ponder too much too long, it's just gonna eat at you. Eat at you. Eat at you even more. Then you're gonna start behaving differently with this nigga and it's gonna be like, well, what's going. Why is he, you know, not little spooning when we go to sleep anymore or, you know, and then the dynamic changes but you don't want to say why and it gets funky. I think you should just talk to somebody about it. And if it really comes down to the fact of like, you know, I really feel like at the heart of me, I've been with the same nigga since before I could drink legally. And I think that I want to explore being a grown ass man on my own. That is a valid and fair thing to think. I would even say it's healthy for you to go out and date.

[Crissle West]

Yep.

[Kid Fury]

But if you really, really invested in this relationship, I think you should get some more advice besides our two gay asses on what is giving. We don't know this person. We don't like. I don't know. You just said they're good on paper. What they. What about off paper? Like, I don't. I don't know when it's really given. I would just think about it a little bit more before you do it, but I definitely think you might need to be single. I don't think anybody should just be, you know, I think some people have like their childhood sweetheart or whatever.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, some people do.

[Kid Fury]

Or high school.

[Crissle West]

Some people have, you know, then y' all met in kindergarten and that was it. Y' all just been locked in since you were 12 or whatever. Yeah, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Okay. Cory and Topanga.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

On a sitcom.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

No, I know there are some people, but I've like 20. I don't know, maybe y' all are the type of couple where you could be like, oh, we're gonna go on a break and then, no, that's never a good idea. Nevermind.

[Crissle West]

I wouldn't frame it that way. But I would say if you were like my client back when I was in school, coming to me with this, this, I would first ask you, you know, how long have you been feeling this way?

[Kid Fury]

Good question.

[Crissle West]

Cuz if it's just been a month or two, that's probably normal. If it's something that comes up recurring on a recurring basis for months and months or years, that's something to take a little more seriously. I love a good pros and cons list. Yes. Getting it out.

[Kid Fury]

I love a pro and con list. Bitch.

[Crissle West]

I love a pro and con list.

[Kid Fury]

Never lets you down.

[Crissle West]

Yes. But also I'm hoping you and your partner are the same age or like just a year or two apart or something like that. So you've grown up together throughout your 20s. I would. After you've, you know, after you've worked out some things for yourself, you know, with what do I really value about this relationship versus what do I feel like I'm missing? I think it's a good idea to talk to your partner about this. This because it's very possible your partner is like, yeah, we've been together since we were 20. And you know, when we looking at Snapchat and Tik Tok and Instagram, everybody else is in the club showing whole and having fun. And we, we have missed out on. You know, there's just a lot that we haven't been able to do. A lot of experiences that we haven't had that we wish we could have had. And so maybe the two of you are like, yeah, you know, maybe be not take a break. Because we just need to be very clear about whether we're together or we're not and what is expected or allowed and all this like, you need to be very clear about that. I don't either. Not. I don't believe in taking a break with like and we'll get back together in four months or whatever yet.

[Kid Fury]

That doesn't make sense.

[Crissle West]

It's. It's either going to be we're breaking up to see if we'd rather be apart.

[Kid Fury]

There it is.

[Crissle West]

We're breaking up to see like, is it because again, y' all have been in a very long term relationship since you were very young.

[Kid Fury]

Since your brains were literally still working.

[Crissle West]

Not done. Right. So. So it makes all the sense in the world that you might be like, damn, what am I missing out on that people 20 years older than you who have been in a relationship for five years will say the same thing.

[Kid Fury]

Girl. Exactly. Do you realize you're an anomaly like you pictured?

[Crissle West]

Yeah. Yeah. And the fact that there's. I would also ask like if you can pinpoint when this thought started, was it something behind it? Like did some dynamic change? Did your partner, somebody's job change or some family stuff came up? Like there's always. There's typically something in there where it's like, oh, well, he started doing this different. Or you know, I just feel like he getting on my nerves and I want to come home. And it not.

[Kid Fury]

We used to have so much more fun.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Or you know, go out on trips

[Crissle West]

the way it used to be. That sort of thing. Again, all of that's very normal in long term relationships. But it's quite different to deal with that when you're in your 40s or 50s.

[Kid Fury]

Yes.

[Crissle West]

Versus 20s and 30s. So I think think I would always recommend a therapist. Somebody trusted, not just that you can trust with your secrets, but somebody whose judgment you trust. I would run this by them and, and see what their opinion may be. Pros and cons. But also you, you should be able to talk to your partner about this and say, this is not me saying that I want to break up with you. I love you. You have not done anything wrong. But I am having these feelings. Because if you cannot talk about hard feelings, your relationship is not as solid as you think it is.

[Kid Fury]

1,000%.

[Crissle West]

And if your relationship is not as solid as you think it is, then maybe you need to break up to go out there and see what else is in the world.

[Kid Fury]

See how we keep circling this block me. I need to look at some places. I think I totally agree with that because I think that bringing it up to your partner at, in terms of like the essence of what you're feeling shouldn't really be a big breakup. Like, you have been together since you were 20. I think this is, I know this is a fair, normal thing to feel right. And I think you can discuss it with this person without going like, I want to break up. I don't like you. I'm not attracted to you in the conversation of I'm having these feelings and these curiosities because I've only ever been with you, seriously, and it's been this long. I think you should be able to talk to your partner about that.

[Crissle West]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

Because like Crystal said, he might be like, woo, girl. I was hoping you would say something

[Crissle West]

like, you can love each other deeply and be like, this has run its course. Sometimes it just has. Or maybe not. Maybe you both go out on a couple of dates and you're like, girl, what the fuck was I thinking? Like, who knows? But if you can't approach the conversation respectfully and honestly, then I think if you even bring it up, you know, because the approach here is everything. You can't be like, I actually think I'm sick of your ass after this past decade.

[Kid Fury]

But all right, let me tell you something. The way these niggas in Texas been looking these days, baby, I just don't. You know what I'm saying?

[Crissle West]

He said the rodeo is this weekend and I need to wear my assless chaps. Just.

[Kid Fury]

You don't want to go, do you?

[Crissle West]

You don't.

[Kid Fury]

Texas.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, but if, if, but I want to, I want to say again, if this keeps coming up over the span of months or years, then it's really, really worth interrogating because I mean, it's not a lose lose situation.

[Kid Fury]

If, right?

[Crissle West]

If, if what you really need is to not be in this relationship no more, it's possible that you, you two have grown and done all you could together and now it's time to do something else. I don't really know. But you, you don't lose by choosing yourself and right. Breakups hurt. Nobody wants to feel bad. People do a lot of things to avoid feeling bad, including staying in relationships that they not supposed to be in. People will sacrifice their actual happiness because they don't want to experience displeasure or discomfort like this. People will literally do that. They will sacrifice their long term happiness and health so that they don't hurt somebody else's feelings. And you know, we all have got to grow within ourselves the ability to tolerate not being happy. Sometimes you're just not going to be happy. Yeah, sometimes you're gonna be sad. Sometimes you're gonna Be heartbroken. Sometimes you're gonna be bored or feel restless or listless or whatever else. Like, you have to have the ability to tolerate that, to sit with those feelings without getting high or drunk or trying to spend it away or fuck it away or whatever else, and just sitting with the shit and being like, wow, right now I feel really sad. I miss my man. We were together 10 years. We had so many formative memories. Like. And while I was in that relationship, I felt very much like I needed to get out, that there was something else out here for me, that I needed to go have other experiences. So you have to know that, like, the grief and the sadness and the missing them is gonna be part of that too. It's not gonna be, oh, I left you. And immediately it was like, I'm just living 247 at the fucking county fair. Like, no shit is gonna be hard sometimes, too. So.

[Kid Fury]

Especially if you're not supposed to be together. You know what I mean? It's better that you just go ahead and get this thing started now so you can get through that unhappy part, that grief part, then crash and burn down another 10 years and being like, I should have been broke up with you because now I'm gonna grieve and I'm gonna be sad that we're broken up. And I don't even know if I like you no more.

[Crissle West]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

As a person.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. There's a way that this relationship can come to an end in a respectful manner as long as you. You both want that to happen.

[Kid Fury]

Yes.

[Crissle West]

But again, the conversation. There has to be a safe space to have the conversation between the two of you. So wishing.

[Kid Fury]

I promise, baby. 30 years old, black, gay in Texas. You need to be outside. But that's just my opinion. I don't know, both of y'. All. Talk to somebody, get some advice. 30?

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Fucking on the same nigga since 20.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Your whole 20s, right?

[Crissle West]

I honestly can't even imagine, you know, how many different women I went through in life. My.

[Kid Fury]

My 20s, sweetheart. Honey, that's what your 20s are for.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. You supposed to be doing hood ratcheting.

[Kid Fury]

Figure out what I like.

[Crissle West]

You supposed to go to the club and lose your panties.

[Kid Fury]

Yes. Panty list.

I will begin try to get through this quickly. This one goes out to the United States Secretary of Defense.

[Crissle West]

Oh yeah. Oh that that drunk Pete Hexith.

[Kid Fury]

He was recently at a press conference discussing all of this with the US and Israel versus Iran who I mean they're still telling everybody to hold their dick in this press conference Pace pot Pete said about the military action against Iran. He said there was never any intention for it to be a fair fight and in reality it is not a fair fight. We are beating them while they're down. That is what needs to be done. Done. This is okay. All right now this did get some backlash like across parties but I just want to add on to that for a couple of reasons. What really pissed me off about this because I was watching it at the end of it he begins to put pray. He begins to speak about God.

[Crissle West]

Oh no.

[Kid Fury]

And, and you know a good old Christian America or whatever. Oh no Pete, you are a drunk ass sexist sex like like did you get thrown out of your own organizations or organizations you worked with because they said you was mismanaging funds? Aren't you a drug ass bitch that has sexual assault allegations on him? Listen, this is demonic. I've said this for a while. I believe that these people are demons. I believe a lot of them know it and I believe that it is ever present when this type of shit happens. You gonna tell me that you're talking about oh yeah, we're bombing them babies because that what needs to be done and we don't give two living shits what y' all got to say about it. We're Gonna keep bombing them and keep bombing the them and we're gonna jump them. And then bow your heads in prayer. This is not my God. I don't know who the fuck you talking about. That's it. I think Satan is a God to demons.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

So maybe they're talking about him. You must be talking about him because there is not a God that I know of. Yeah, There is not a single God that I know of that's like, yeah, go destroy countries that I built. Go and kill people that I made.

[Crissle West]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

And then what? My children get drunk off of Jameson and grab somebody's pussy. Girl, get directly in the ground. I hate you. I hate everybody you represent. I hate that president. That literally looks like Garfield's mouth. The bitch look like.

[Crissle West]

Garfield's mouth is insane. Get off.

[Kid Fury]

Look at Garfield's mouth. He looks exactly like that.

[Crissle West]

Garfield's mouth.

[Kid Fury]

I'll wait.

[Crissle West]

No,

[Kid Fury]

tell me that is not Donald Trump's head, bitch. Like a kumquat with wings. I said it.

[Crissle West]

Oh, I cannot stand you.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, my God, I hate you. I hate Attorney General. I hate the President. I hate every single one of you Epstein dick sucking bitches who are now trying to distract the American people, the world from the fact that you are devious pedophiles and sexual pests by being like, you know what we really have to do? Bomb Iran. Because they have nukes and Internet. So let's kill them. You're crazy.

[Crissle West]

It's not a good idea.

[Kid Fury]

You're fascist, you're tyrannical. You're eating the dick of Netanyahu because he probably has footage of you deep throated. But we'll do that. Like we don't even have to get.

[Crissle West]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

You don't want us to keep talking about that. But we're going to talk about both. We're going to talk about both. We're going to talk about you being rapists and pedophiles.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Trying to cover it up. And now we're also going to talk about you thrusting us into a war.

[Crissle West]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

Having countless people killed all over the place.

[Crissle West]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

Because Iran. I'm sorry, this was fierce. The Iran not prime minister. I forgot what he was like, okay, the guy representing Iran.

[Crissle West]

Okay. The supreme leader.

[Kid Fury]

No, foreign minister. The foreign minister, not the prime minister. He was on, I think msnbc. MSNBC said if American citizens, if we had, if we needed to be concerned, what he could say about people who are concerned about attacks or missiles reaching American soil. And the foreign minister from Iran was like, no, why would we go through all of that, it's plenty of your bases and camps and all this stuff right here for us to blow up. Like why we go through the trouble wide open right there, Lights, camera, action. I'm like, okay, so here we go. We're getting ready to. To just continue to kill people, families, children in Palestine, Iran and neighboring places that y' all just feel like blowing up. And now people here, their sons, fathers, cousins, brothers, nieces, auntie mamas, you know, they can go ahead and also lose their lives because what funny day names here. Listen, you're already getting dragged by anybody with sense. But what you are also going to do is leave God out of it. I'm so tired of y' all bringing up Jesus like he has anything to do with this. I've said it before. God is looking at this planet like a Jocelyn cabaret reunion. Like a baddies audition. This is simply entertainment on the cosmos. You heard me talk about how freaky this Milky Way is the other day. We are nothing. We are nothing. To think that God would not only be dialed in to your devilish ridiculous Caucasian bullshit, but that he would also be subscribed to the notion that he supports the demolition, destruction and death of innocent people, especially babies and school children.

[Crissle West]

His.

[Kid Fury]

His people.

[Crissle West]

Right, right, right.

[Kid Fury]

Well, hell. Hell, Hades, the underworld, fire and destruction. In fact, I believe I do have. I believe that hell isn't like a big fiery place. It is just like an eternal nightmare. Well, and well, Pete, yours might be AA or

[Crissle West]

like good night.

[Kid Fury]

I don't know what. Like mine is for sure an airport. So. But Pete, you have to be one of the. And there's a lot of dizzy ass bitches in this administration when that Attorney

[Crissle West]

General, she is out of it, man.

[Kid Fury]

I was like, this is not what. Watch what happens live. Like, how did you guys get job cops? I wouldn't have hired you at a fucking Panda express.

[Crissle West]

Well, you're sober, so.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, there's that.

[Crissle West]

There you go.

[Kid Fury]

And not trying to cover up like 50 goddamn years of Epstein big crimes. Big, big, big titty crimes.

[Crissle West]

Worst crimes. ABC did report earlier today that the FBI learned of Iran's plans to send some drones to California. And I was like, oh, huh, well, huh. I mean, undisclosed locations in California. But they were like, yeah, we did find out that, you know, last month Iran definitely planned on a surprise attack with some drones just, you know, hitting that west coast.

[Kid Fury]

And why all the way over here?

[Crissle West]

I mean, I mean, why? No, this is a question I cannot answer. This is not.

[Kid Fury]

There's no way. LA is not Listen, this location is on the list, bitch. There's no way.

[Crissle West]

Well, and so that's why I just keep saying, you know, Iran. I just want you to know New York City really on your side here. Okay? We are really on your side. And although I would prefer nobody be attacked, I understand that New York is already. The United States is doing a lot of bullshit. Okay? And. And it's only so you. We're 50 Cent and Iran is Damani and King. And it's only so much of our shit they can say yeah before they just start, baby, have you seen the way they have been lighting up Tel Aviv? I saw that girl Facebook or somebody shut down their offices over them like

[Kid Fury]

that Rockefeller center in December.

[Crissle West]

Oh, it's not funny, man.

[Kid Fury]

It isn't. It's really ridiculous. But it's also so ridiculous that all I can really do is shiver and try to find humor somewhere.

[Crissle West]

Yeah. Cause it will be regular everyday people dying from this shit like it always is. It's innocent people being sacrificed. And it is for yalls dumb bullshit.

[Kid Fury]

It is fuckery. It's fuckery. Like fuckery. Like it has app. So to that I will again wrap this up by saying, okay, this shit is already cartoonish.

[Crissle West]

Yep.

[Kid Fury]

But like a terrifying cartoon. Like it is like a dark cartoon

[Crissle West]

somehow the worst one.

[Kid Fury]

And you people, Pete would be like Pete from Mickey Mouse. Like you would be like you were. You sound so goddamn stupid. And you sound like a. Like a. Like a villain. That is a flop. What was the villain's name from the first Incredibles? That late ass that wanted to be popular so bad and he sucked at everything until he got like a suit or some shit. What was your dumb ass name? You dumb bitch syndrome. Well, no, you're fine. You're a cartoon syndrome syndrome.

[Crissle West]

I had to look it up. I did not remember that.

[Kid Fury]

But yeah, it's giving ridiculous Disney villain. You bitches don't know what you're talking about. And the worst part is a lot of people who voted. You are voted for. You are stupid and just like so stuck in their racism that they are gonna fight with tooth and nail even though they fucking sound stupid. Yeah. Like that bitch who got interviewed somewhere the other day and was like, what do you think someone, they were like, what do you think about Trump bombing Iran? They were like, he didn't bomb Iran. How do you know he bombed Iran? When did he bomb Iran? They're like about two, two days ago or so. Bitch.

[Crissle West]

Didn't know we were at fucking war.

[Kid Fury]

Absolutely started a war. And the Girl was like, oh, well, he did what he had to do. Bitch, you just found out about this 10 seconds ago, and now you're like, oh, well, he did what he had to do. What are you. What did he have to do? What did he have to do? Ma'? Am, you don't even know what we're talking about.

[Crissle West]

Even know. Right? You literally didn't even know what we were talking about.

[Kid Fury]

I think that a lot of you dummies in office are speaking directly to them because you know the rest of us aren't going for it. You sound stupid. This isn't even like. This is even, like, tried and true Conservative, where they have a plan and they're sneaky and, like, y' all sound dumb. Like, a third grader would listen and be like, that doesn't. Doesn't make any sense. Why would you bomb them while they're already down? That doesn't sound like. It doesn't.

[Crissle West]

It doesn't make sense.

[Kid Fury]

At the very least, please stop talk. Talking about God. There is notice. Like, what. What demons do you, like. Can we just. Can we just at least touch and agree on the theory that these people might actually be demons and skin?

[Crissle West]

Oh, absolutely. You actually do not have to convince me.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, cool.

[Crissle West]

I already believe it.

[Kid Fury]

I believe, and I'm like, not. Not joking. I actually believe that these people are of the devil, whether they know it or not. So I'm finished.

[Crissle West]

Okay, so two very quick things from me. Number one, Matthew Knowles. What's going over there? What's. What's. What you doing?

[Kid Fury]

What you got over there? Good.

[Crissle West]

So there was an interview, parts of this part of an interview where he was asked about where the interviewer was bringing up how he and Ms. Tina, you know, did so much for Destiny's Child. And he said something like, well, what did she do?

[Kid Fury]

What did she do? Yep.

[Crissle West]

And the interviewer was like, well, you know, hair and styling and just always there with the girls. And he just kind of took off his mic and walked away. Right, Right. So I was like, that's very weird. Are you. Are you trying to. Are you insinuating that you, like, Destiny's Child was like, your creation and your doing and she didn't have fuck all to do with it? Like, is that what you insinuate? But I left it alone. And then I saw a clip of Lauren LaRosa talking about it a few days ago. And Matthew knows how had recorded this video, trying to say, like, well, you know, if you look at it, go back and watch it. I'm not Even making a statement. I'm just asking a question. I'm saying, what did Tina do? You know? Cause he said she did.

[Kid Fury]

You know the answer.

[Crissle West]

She did hair, but, like, really, she did styling, and she managed the girl's images, and she was always with them and all this. So, like, I just felt like y' all wasn't giving her enough credit. And all this, like, nigga, how you.

[Kid Fury]

So it was a pop quiz, nigga. Matt, please.

[Crissle West]

What's really going on over there? You trying to. I. I can't stand when a bullshitter tried to bullshit me directly to my face.

[Kid Fury]

It's so dumb and such a waste of time.

[Crissle West]

So you mean to tell me you were. You were just so taken aback that they would reduce her work down to hairstyling that you removed your microphone and got a. And walked away? Nigga, be for real.

[Kid Fury]

That was wild.

[Crissle West]

That man wasn't. That interviewer wasn't even doing that. You are the one who took it. Like, how dare you bring up her name next to mine when we talking about Destiny's Child? I was like, nigga, if you was that instrumental in Destiny's Child, you would have made another Destiny's Child. So let's just all calm down. Remember that those talented young ladies are the ones who put in the work. And, yes, obviously directed, molded, shaped, guided by you and Ms. Tina and other record executives and obviously. But let's not act like it was you alone who constructed this group and made them great. Because if so, one of the millions of other people you've tried to manage and shit you've tried to do would have turned into something by now. So let's just all be fucking for real. And speaking of being fucking for real, real, you are doing the absolute most over bam out of bio, breaking Kobe Bryant's scoring record, which is not even the scoring record, but scoring more points in a game than Kobe did. This just happened last night.

[Kid Fury]

What does he do?

[Crissle West]

Not so. Right. So, first of all, he was having an incredible game that scored 31 points. I actually pulled up the game on league pass. I was watching it for whatever crackhead reason, and he had 31 points in the first quarter, like 47 at the half, 60 something.

[Kid Fury]

Did anybody else touch the ball?

[Crissle West]

Well, I mean, so they were. They were beating the Wizards, which they. They were. Let's be real. They were able to do this because they were playing the Wizards, not, you know, not the Cavs or even the Knicks or. Anyway, but so he. But he stayed in the game. And. And, like, midway through the Fourth quarter, the offensive strategy just turned into get Bam the ball. Just give Bam the ball. Because at this point. Because at this point, we want to see him break the record. Like at this point, it's exciting. And. And here's the thing. You're not going to break the record. No way. Cuz the record is 100 points set by Wilt Chamberlain like the 50s or something. Nobody is going to touch that. But Kobe was second with 81 points. Points. And so the tension is just growing and everybody's getting so excited. And when he actually cracked that 81 and got to 83 points, baby, I mean I. I have to imagine the Kaseya center just blew up. Like everybody was just so hyped. It was a big celebration, you know, with the teammates, obviously with his girlfriend, Asia Wilson, who is 95% of the reason that I even know who Bam Adebayo is. Okay? I don't give a shit about the heat. I do not give a shit about the heat. I don't give a shit about that man. But that's Asia's man. So I'm like, yeah, you know, woo, go Asia man.

[Kid Fury]

Moshe. I was like, I know who this is.

[Crissle West]

N are having meltdowns over him outscoring

[Kid Fury]

Kobe, talking about how supposed to just not try.

[Crissle West]

So yes, actually some people think he should have subbed out of the game at 80 points so that he didn't tie Kobe or break Kobe's record. Some people legit think he should have done that. That other people are saying, oh, it's fraudulent. He got 36 points off of free throws. The whole. The. They wasn't even playing defense. It was three on him, which they were triple teaming that man. So much of this is just that he had an incredibly powerful game. Iron sharpens iron. Asia Wilson is. She either has the single scoring record in the WNBA or she's tied for the single scoring record in the wnba. That's a bad. So you know, you've been working on your game. You've been work. You have this person in your home who's also an elite at the top of her field. So like, yeah, Bam has been putting in the work. It is insane to be like, well, how dare you. How dare you, you niggas. So O' Shea Jackson Jr. Who is

[Kid Fury]

the son of Ice Cube's son.

[Crissle West]

Yes. Posted about how Kobe fans would have respected this if you took Kobe's record. But instead it was manufactured and forced. And you know, they. Y' all have tarnished one of Kobe's incredible accomplishments and legacy with all of this. And the league has just shown that it's all fake and it's all propaganda. And the league just wanted him, Adam Silver just wanted him to take away from Kobe's legacy.

[Kid Fury]

Is he talking about wrestling? I hope he likes wrestling.

[Crissle West]

No, they are talking. They are. It's Kobe stance who are irate that somebody did this. And I would just like to say, same way I said about Matthew Knowles. And if it was that easy, he would have made another Destiny's Child. If it was that Easy to score 83 points, somebody else would have did it by now. It can't just be, oh, he got fouled a whole lot or he got a bunch of free throws or whatever. Like, it cannot just be that because somebody else would have been there, would have done it. And why would the league select Bam Adebayo, who's an excellent player but not like a star or a first name household basis for most people? Why would they have chosen him on a random goddamn Tuesday and not LeBron James or Steph Curry or Giannis or even SGA or Jokic? Like, it's just insane that y' all would rather believe that the league conspired to do this six and a half years after Kobe is dead. Mind you, the league decided to do this with Bam Adebayo on a random goddamn. This game was. Was. I don't even think if you lived outside of Miami or Washington, you probably didn't even see it on tv. Like, I had to watch it on league pass.

[Kid Fury]

I know he played for the Heat.

[Crissle West]

This is what I'm saying. Like, if it was that easy to do it with free throws and everybody just deciding that they was going to pass you the ball in the second half of the fourth quarter, then somebody else would have already did it. Stop trying to discount this man's accomplishment because you mad that he broke Kobe's record. Oh, well, I actually think Kobe would have been extremely proud to see somebody else do this. You see how long it took somebody else to score 80 fucking points?

[Kid Fury]

That's true.

[Crissle West]

It doesn't happen every day. It's, it's. It's a marvel. And we're all sitting here talking about it and him and Asia is in the press conference together after the game, which I thought was so cute. Oh my God, I just love them so much together. But I mean, that's what I'm here for. You know, I'm here. Cause you're Asia's man. If you was an Asia's man, I swear to God, I swear to God, I Would not know nothing about you.

[Kid Fury]

That's literally the only reason his name was familiar to me.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, you grown men crying about Bam Adebayo outscoring Kobe Bryant. You're just going to have to get over it. Y' all are so fucking weird, bro. He's gone.

[Kid Fury]

The sensitivity around this megastar basketball player who passed away tragically, but it is incredibly fanned out, stand out and unreasonable to expect that no one in the remainder of basketball's history would be like, let me try and get the most, like, bitch. I'll be trying to beat Will.

[Crissle West]

Literally, like, I feel like somebody is.

[Kid Fury]

If I actually want to.

[Crissle West]

You just can't. You. You're not normally going to go up a team whose defense is so terrible where one person can do that.

[Kid Fury]

But it's possible.

[Crissle West]

But they tried. They tried. Okay? They were so far over the foul limit that every time. So anyway, anyway, point being that if it was that simple, somebody else would have did it by now. Okay, don't act like that man is just some bum and the league handed him this incredible accomplishment because they would have did it to somebody way more famous on a way more exciting game where they could have capitalized the fuck out of it way before now.

[Kid Fury]

Absolutely.

[Crissle West]

They actually devastated that this shit happened in Miami on a Tuesday when nobody was really there to like the print T shirts or something.

[Kid Fury]

Right? Right.

[Crissle West]

Oh, man.

[Kid Fury]

And the gag is, bitches outside of American Airline arena probably beat them, too. I don't think it's American Airlines anymore,

[Crissle West]

but people say, are they a center Fine.

[Kid Fury]

It was American Airlines when I worked there. I know them bitches were outside on Bayside already with the shirts.

[Crissle West]

Oh, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Like somebody live watching somebody in the

[Crissle West]

fourth quarter said he up the.

[Kid Fury]

The T shirt machine 3D print that out in the. In the parking lot. Brigading coin.

[Crissle West]

Yes, yes.

[Kid Fury]

Cause let me tell you something, Miami fans. Miami, the city. I mean, there's probably plenty of places, but having lived there, the Heat girlies overdo it, bitch. You could drive like 30, 30 minutes out of Bayside and shit where they play and see like the Heat mascot doing the Bankhead bounce, doing the peanut butter and jelly and shit over in the hood like the whole girl. When we won the championship, when Shaq and Dwyane Wade were playing together, I went to the parade.

[Crissle West]

Oh, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Nuts. The whole city, the whole city crying, shaking, dancing, partying, drinking, traffic for hours. Yeah. So they probably were to your point, like, now, why the fuck didn't somebody just tap us on the shoulder and tell us they were gonna show the fuck out like this tonight. Who had streamers and all kinds of right?

[Crissle West]

And he just got 10,000. He just hit that milestone of, like, 10,000 points in the last game. Bam Adebayo is having a good season. Like, he's.

[Kid Fury]

He's doing well playing.

[Crissle West]

And so y' all being weird, trying to act like this just don't make no sense. And, oh, y' all just handed this to him, and he was playing the Wizards. As if Kobe didn't do all that against the Raptors. Like, just

[Kid Fury]

everybody they handed him was the bomb so that he could do what he did.

[Crissle West]

And. And even that was in the second half of the fourth quarter, where they were like, okay, no, you really.

[Kid Fury]

You legit got a shot 31 in. In. In the first quarter, right?

[Crissle West]

It.

[Kid Fury]

They legit were like, oh, okay, girl. Here.

[Crissle West]

Just be for real, right? Just be for real, man.

[Kid Fury]

That's so funny.

[Crissle West]

Sports fans insane.

[Kid Fury]

I'm always reminded that sports fans are

[Crissle West]

much like, they're not doing well. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Things like that where they just lose it. Like, go to bed mad.

[Crissle West]

Yeah, they don't.

[Kid Fury]

Bae, what's wrong, girl? Shut up. I'm trying to get some sleep. Like, pissed.

[Crissle West]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

So.

[Crissle West]

So y' all just gonna have to stay mad. That man earned it.

[Kid Fury]

And so earned it.

[Crissle West]

One thing. Yeah. The records are meant to be broken. And it bears repeating that. Although we call it Kobe's scoring record, that just means it's Kobe's personal height. But Kobe doesn't own the record. Wilt Chamberlain does. So, yeah, it's Wilt. And then Bam. And then Kobe. And y' all are mad. Cause you don't think Bam Adebayo deserves it, but he fucking has it. Anyway, it's tea, so sit on that.

[Kid Fury]

For him to be between Bill Chamberlain and Kobe Bryant, it is. That is incredibly tea, child.

[Crissle West]

And you know somebody at Nike was up all night. Cause them n put out a commercial today.

[Kid Fury]

[Kid Fury]

He dapping up all his teammates niggas on the other team is even staying on the court. Like, I gotta dap this nigga up. This is crazy. Like, we just, we just watched this nigga do something insane. N. Like I can't even hate. Like, yeah, you beat the shit outta us.

[Kid Fury]

But damn, N, I think you're 100% right that Kobe would be like, you did that.

[Crissle West]

You did that. You legit did that. So yike, y' all mad. You just gonna have to stay mad

[Kid Fury]

or you don't have any other choice.

[Crissle West]

You don't. Cause that's. And he is there he is. He's second place and has usurped that man. And you're just gonna have to get over it.

[Kid Fury]
