7. Tone & Language

Casual, irreverent, and frequently hilarious with moments of seriousness—especially when discussing family, relationships, and exploitation. Language is forthright and colloquial, full of pop culture references, expletives, and reading for filth, but with an undercurrent of empathy and real talk. Beyoncé mentions are only honorific; all are safe except Bey and Blue Ivy.

Kid Fury and Crissle roast, reflect, and uplift—reminding listeners that growth sometimes means saying goodbye, and no star (except Beyoncé and Blue Ivy) is immune from being read for filth.

[Kim Fields]

And I am Kim Fields and this is the read. Thank you for joining us.

[Kid Fury]

You're welcome. Yes, thank you indeed for joining us. It is these two podcasting niggas. Back at you again to do our normal thing, our regular thing, and in the name of the month, let's start with some Black Excellence, even though we do that every month. This month, Black Excellence is going out to the upcoming president of the American Medical association, one Dr. Willie Underwood III, straight out of Gary, Indiana, by way of Morehouse College. That's not how Byway works, but went to Morehouse College, so he's one of the alum. And I know a lot of y' all who listen are from Morehouse, so congratulations. Out here doing amazing things. He was elected president in June of last year, so he'll be inaugurated this upcoming June. And he's been working incredibly hard for the majority of his life, especially academic life. Says that he earned his degree in biology from Morehouse, then went to sunny upstate. Oh, is that how they say suny? That's right, yeah. SUNY haven't heard that in a while. That's where he got his medical degree. I went to University of Connecticut for surgical training, University of Michigan for a Master of Public Health. Shout out to all y'. All.

[Kim Fields]

Wow.

[Kid Fury]

Six, seven different colleges, university schools. Yeah. He became one of the first five urologists ever admitted into Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholars Program. And he's got more than 25 years of experience in urological surgery. So who better than this esteemed black king to run the Americal Medical association, which, if you don't know, is an association that helps unite physicians nationwide so they can figure out how to help us in this bullshit that we're dealing with? I mean, my God, what do they just do? Show up and sweat? Pray first. Getting bad. Yeah. Shit. Anyway, shout out to you indeed again, Dr. Willie Underwood III. Congratulations. Let's get into some hot tops this week, first of all. Oof. Girl, it's too much tea, bitch. We're just gonna have to.

[Kim Fields]

Okay, well, take your time.

[Kid Fury]

No, I will not take my time because I'm not sure I get here all day. Okay.

[Kim Fields]

Amen.

[Kid Fury]

First of all, rest in peace to the big Rev. Jesse Jackson. 84 long years. I think he was sick. Think he was having health complications. So rest in peace, sir. So the Belize tour is off. Oh, I thought you meant canceled.

[Kim Fields]

I was like, what?

[Kid Fury]

Oh, it's taken off.

[Kim Fields]

Yes. Yes, it has.

[Kid Fury]

Go, go, go.

[Kim Fields]

Right, right, right.

[Kid Fury]

Ready, set. Yeah. So from what I've seen so far, it's been Bia getting dragged, Blueface Draws dragging off his ass, Cardi falling off the stage and blaming the government. That was lyric Tyla coming out to do that song. I hate

[Kim Fields]

Kehlani.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, yes, Kalani was there. I feel like she brought someone else out too, that I forgot, but. Woo. Tyler. God, I hate that song. I'm so ready to not hear ever again.

[Kim Fields]

I don't even know which song you're talking about. I didn't know they had a song together.

[Kid Fury]

They don't have a song together. Oh, I'm talking about. Say, let me. You ain't put me in Chanel.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, I didn't know that was her.

[Kid Fury]

Awful is horrendous. Why would you. Because it's so bad.

[Kim Fields]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

And I gen. I generally like her music a lot. I was like, what happened with this one?

[Kim Fields]

Right? This one's a swing and a miss for you.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Kim Fields]

Okay. Well, it'd be like,

[Kid Fury]

meanwhile, on the other side of the fence, Stefon Diggs got about 8, 9 cases at the same time. Somebody's suing him for defamation now.

[Kim Fields]

Really?

[Kid Fury]

Three other things. Oh, yes, girl.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, God.

[Kid Fury]

It's going down for Diggy Diggs, bitch.

[Kim Fields]

Defamation, nigga. How? Why?

[Kid Fury]

Let me pull this one up. Oh, it's not even just defamation either. It's like. I think it's his former.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, wow. This was right before the Super Bowl.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess he's Defamation,

[Kim Fields]

civil conspiracy, aiding and abetting, assault, and bad. Oh, God, nigga. Oh, God.

[Kid Fury]

The chef is also speaking out now. Okay, yeah, the stuff. That chef that accused him of strangulation or whatever.

[Kim Fields]

Right. Well,

[Kid Fury]

so there's that. And I suppose in the meantime, we'll just be allowing this. Allowing. We'll just, you know, keep our eyes on the prize Ms. Cardi.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah, at least she seems to be focused on her shows and not whatever that nigga have going on, so.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, good for her. Besides Blueface Panties and that song I don't like, entitled. It looks cute.

[Kim Fields]

It looks like what I expected it to look like.

[Kid Fury]

I bet. I figured you'd say that. Northwest apparently has a fashion line that's coming out. Northwest is 12. Now, the other day when we were talking about her, like, I don't know, having black teeth and a piercing in her finger, I thought north was, like, 13 or 14.

[Kim Fields]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Do you really need to be piercing anything but your ears outside to 12 or underneath 12? I mean, I'm not saying, like, throwing a pit of fire on my girl who's raising her. It's just like, you're 12.

[Kim Fields]

Is it a.

[Kid Fury]

Also a fashion line?

[Kim Fields]

No, but look at who her parents

[Kid Fury]

are, so, I mean, of course. So it's giving. Like, thrusting yourself into adulthood before you should be like, you are a kid.

[Kim Fields]

Right. And I'm just not sure how much of a childhood you get to have when you grow up on the Kardashian shows, you know, like, she's never known a life that could be even remotely normal. So.

[Kid Fury]

Kylie Jenner literally grew up on that show watching her sisters look like that and be like, oh, you're the little ugly one. And she was like, well, oh, my drink.

[Kim Fields]

Right?

[Kid Fury]

Oh, all of my lip gloss. I got something for your ass.

[Kim Fields]

Damn. She did. Immediately went to Pillars. Yep. And.

[Kid Fury]

And blew over all of them hoes. Yeah, sure did.

[Kim Fields]

Yep.

[Kid Fury]

Sure did.

[Kim Fields]

Yep.

[Kid Fury]

Anyway, North's mama has already applied or submitted submitted applications for three different trademarks in relation to this line that I. I suppose is going to be called Nor. I think it's pronounced Nori, but It's N O R11. Oh, I'm pretty sure they call her Nori. Is like her nickname. Right, okay. But the nor would be north, obviously. And I think they're saying that 11 is when she came up with the concept of having a fashion line when she was 11.

[Kim Fields]

Last year.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, last year.

[Kim Fields]

Okay, Well, I mean, is this just trademark applications or are there actual plans for clothes? Because remember when Blue was born, Beyonce trademarked everything and she ain't sold no one item.

[Kid Fury]

So that nobody else will play in our favor, basically.

[Kim Fields]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

But it sounds like they fully have intention to do this. I mean, it could be something like that, technically, where they're just like before when y' all bitches play.

[Kim Fields]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

Um, but especially since this is specifically like trademarking this term. Dispelling.

[Kim Fields]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

Like they have specific plans for this. And again, like you said, with her mom and them being who they are, who's shocked when she be like, oh, let me start a fashion line. I am interested in what it's going to look like. I think it's going to be a lot of black and a lot of baggy stuff. A lot of like alt rock, rap.

[Kim Fields]

It's. It's giving like, limited to Spencer for kids. Like, my. My thought is limited to you remember? Limited. Limited to.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. Is it like where you go get your ear pierced?

[Kim Fields]

No, Limited two was like a. Not Claire's. Limited two was like a clothing store for.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, I am thinking of Claire's.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah. So.

[Kid Fury]

But is it limited to. Was like really cute and pink.

[Kim Fields]

Well, I'm thinking.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, this is not giving me. No, I feel like Nori's going to give you Spencer's Hot Topic. But for kids and like blood.

[Kim Fields]

But for kids. But for.

[Kid Fury]

But for kids.

[Kim Fields]

That's what I'm hoping. Well, I'm hoping so because. No, of course not. But I'm hoping so because I think that's actually a very profitable idea. 1000% clothing for adolescent girls, quote, unquote, kids.

[Kid Fury]

Edgy clothes for the baby.

[Kim Fields]

But not too edgy, you know, tweens.

[Kid Fury]

I mean, edgy just in like, ooh, look at this. Look at the Swarovski crystals on these oversized, baggy denim.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah. I feel like it's getting skating skulls on overalls.

[Kid Fury]

Yes.

[Kim Fields]

That type of shit. Vans and shit. Northwest vans, something like that.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Kim Fields]

If so I do. And if it's priced, you know, at a normal, you know, regular. It's not like, supposed to be luxury or whatever.

[Kid Fury]

God bless.

[Kim Fields]

And they throw it in Walmart or Target or something like that. I Could see that being really. I'm not joking. I could see that being really popular.

[Kid Fury]

You need to be Walmart or even

[Kim Fields]

H and M or something like that.

[Kid Fury]

I daresay would let that girl be foul dead at Walmart. Girl, there's.

[Kim Fields]

Okay, I don't think Kim Kardashian is allergic to. No matter where it come from.

[Kid Fury]

Here's the thing, the reason that you say that I'll give you Tar J. I will give you Tar J. It's a possibility because remember when Mary Kate, Nashley and them used to be in Tar J and all that shit and the girls used to be like Tar J. America and Ashley used to be Tar Shay and Walmart as well as Ross, bitch, Because we want money.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

[Kid Fury]

And then the girls were like, oh, here goes. Another 5 billion for the Olsens.

[Kim Fields]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

I guess they were on something. So you might be right. That's what I'm thinking that it would be. Because then on top of that, I mean they. I guess they could sell a lot of it online. Yeah, that's probably where they would start.

[Kim Fields]

Probably. But I think most parents of girls that age would rather buy shop in person so kids can try it on. They're constantly growing and all that. I just wouldn't be shocked if they put it in a mass retailer. I just wouldn't. A bunch of cheap shit, baby.

[Kid Fury]

You put it in Target, you can know. I'm not buying shit. Well, that's one I wouldn't go no ways. But yeah, there's not a Walmart very nearby me. I do enjoy Wally World because sometimes I just walk around there and wait for somebody to start fighting.

[Kim Fields]

Oh my God, Walmart. As somebody who doesn't live in a city that has a Walmart or wherever that Walmart is, deep in Queens or whatever, Girl, I'm not going out there.

[Kid Fury]

That's a myth.

[Kim Fields]

I'm not. Right? Like they keep saying it. I've never actually seen it.

[Kid Fury]

Like a unicorn, Bigfoot.

[Kim Fields]

But when I go back to the south and I go to Walmart, I just walk around that bitch. It is a marvel. I cannot believe Walmart is real.

[Kid Fury]

Astonishing. It is just. They're so massive.

[Kim Fields]

Everything in that bitch.

[Kid Fury]

Everything is there. You could buy your tombstone at Walmart, bitch.

[Kim Fields]

Everybody, every cent, everything is in that fucking warehouse of.

[Kid Fury]

I be feeling like Baby D when I'm in there. Cause I'm like, they got all the new snacks. Yes, they got them before they even came out. They got this with a butter on it and the Cheese. Like it. Walmart.

[Kim Fields]

It's crazy.

[Kid Fury]

Take me through that. Take me through that.

[Kim Fields]

I be in there like, y' all got all these different body washes. Like, they got every scent of the body wash. Like, they just have it all. Every deodorant. It's just, you know, in New York,

[Kid Fury]

Pringles make a pickled egg flavor.

[Kim Fields]

Walmart?

[Kid Fury]

What the fuck? What are you talking about?

[Kim Fields]

Please don't get me started on the chips. It's just so much shit you can get.

[Kid Fury]

Actually, it's great that, that Walmart is far for me, because I would just walk around there and buy chips. Chips and candy.

[Kim Fields]

It's probably for the best I'm not near right. It's probably for the best that I'm not near one. But I feel like a. A foreigner every time I go in one. Like, is this for real? Like, I feel like a European.

[Kid Fury]

It's like. It's like, if y' all ever been to Universal Studios where they have their Super Mario Land. You walk through this Mario pipe and you come out on the other side of it, and I'm like, bitch, I am in. I'm in. Super Mario. How did they. Where was this? Like, that's Walmart.

[Kim Fields]

Incredible.

[Kid Fury]

Juvenile has a new song, and it's called BBB for big booty bitches. It is fantastic. I love it. I've adopted it into my bloodstream. It is all that I know in terms of sound at this moment. So thank you, juvie, for just being classic and I guess, unstoppable in your reign of hip hop music, specifically of the southern variety. So I bring that up to say that not only is it fantastic, but the TikTok girlies, the clock app, girlies and otherwise are demanding that Megan Thee Stallion Thompson, the third, second, and fourth.

[Kim Fields]

Exactly. Gone for that.

[Kid Fury]

She jump on a remix to this? Yeah, no, absolutely.

[Kim Fields]

That is her husband.

[Kid Fury]

Her birthday. That is her husband.

[Kim Fields]

That is her husband. That Bentley. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That is her man. Please, please, everybody just stop playing. They are. That is divine.

[Kid Fury]

Megan. They want Megan on the remix to this. And I mean, if you have heard it, duh. I mean, it was kind of a layup. It's really like. And if you haven't heard it, go hit play. And then you'll be like, okay, duh. I saw Juvenile left a comment somewhere that said he at her and then said, loading.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, so don't play with me.

[Kid Fury]

It might be in the works.

[Kim Fields]

Don't play with me because that song is good. And now I do want to get

[Kid Fury]

it is so good on its own. So cool. But if there is a remix to the song and Megan is on it, they're gonna chew. It's so good.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah. Ooh. Now, see, now my hopes are up, and she's somewhere.

[Kid Fury]

They.

[Kim Fields]

I mean, I didn't realize their birthdays are so close to each other. How lucky that that happened over the All Star break. But like, that lady somewhere with her

[Kid Fury]

man, did you see her up on that yacht squatting above his crotch? I was looking at Megan with Clay

[Kim Fields]

blending into the yacht, just hands behind his head.

[Kid Fury]

I'm like, I don't.

[Kim Fields]

The same color as the wood. You really can barely even see Clay in that picture. And, I mean, who's looking when Megan has her ass out? But, yeah, yeah, they. They are so cute, and I just really love it.

[Kid Fury]

I'm gonna stop talking about them because I'm. We're gonna curse them. Like, we do everything.

[Kim Fields]

No.

[Kid Fury]

Who are they? What do you make? I don't know.

[Kim Fields]

I don't know either one of y', all, but I believe in yalls love.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, so let's talk about Fantasia and her trifling ass daddy. So Fantasia, I guess, was performing, and I forgot what city. And her husband came up on stage and did, like, a re proposal to her and basically said that he wants to give her the wedding, that she deserves that sort of sentiment. A lot of couples do that, you know, specifically couples who just didn't get the wedding that they might have wanted or didn't have one. And like, oh, maybe we do something now for an anniversary or whatever. I think it's cute, even though I'm not interested in marriage myself. Yay for y' all who do it and last long enough to be like, hey, what if we spice it up?

[Kim Fields]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Anyway, so Fantasia got on God. Fantasia Daddy got on God's Internet and was like, well, I love my daughter very much, but I just. I knew that he taking advantage of her, and he don't pay for this, and he just wants your money. Fantastic. Fantasia. Daddy, do you know that we know who you are? Do you know that we have heard Fantasia speak about you before?

[Kim Fields]

Oh, I haven't, actually. What did she say about her daddy?

[Kid Fury]

That he tried to sue her, take her back.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, okay. Never mind.

[Kid Fury]

Rarely present.

[Kim Fields]

I was about to say. Cause I. I remember the movie, and I don't remember seeing too much about a daddy in the movie. So who even is this man? Well, all right.

[Kid Fury]

Well, all right.

[Kim Fields]

So that.

[Kid Fury]

Furthermore, why don't you pick up the phone and Call your child if you can do that, and say, hey, I don't feel good about this because that nigga ain't shit.

[Kim Fields]

Right?

[Kid Fury]

Why are you running to the motherfucking Internet? First of all, who gave it to you? And how do you know how to use this phone? That's 1, 2. Why are you running to us to tell us anything about your daughter's husband in this moment that people were seemingly happy for them? She seems happy. You, her fucking father, decided to come on the Internet to us.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

To do what?

[Kim Fields]

Interesting.

[Kid Fury]

Stamp on that peace and happiness. So I'mma talk to you the same way that I was talking to bro Rilla. Leave us out of it and talk to the lady. Cause you wrong. Even if that nigga is a gold digger or, you know, Todd Tucker or whatever, why are you telling us?

[Kim Fields]

That's what I'm thinking. Is it possible that two things are true? Yeah, that maybe this nigga is trying to steal your money, but also your daddy is not no better. And if anybody was, go bring it up. It shouldn't be this nigga.

[Kid Fury]

Like, yeah, if I have a family member or loved one that I feel like is in that situation, last thing I'm going to do is at the Shade Room and be like, that nigga ain't shit.

[Kim Fields]

That's true. That's true. Because if. If we can't talk, like, why are you bringing the fans and the general public into it? What are we supposed to do about it? We don't have that lady phone number. We do not know where she live. We cannot email, and we don't even

[Kid Fury]

know if you're telling the truth.

[Kim Fields]

And we don't even know if you're telling the truth yet. So why wouldn't you reach out to your daughter? And if you did, and she was like, damn, nigga, you didn't even raise me. Mind your fucking business. I can make whatever decisions I want to. Then that's fair, sir. That. What again? Why are we being brought into it? Damn. Okay, yeah, I see what you're saying, girl.

[Kid Fury]

The streets are saying that Todd ain't paying no goddamn bills in that motherfucking house. Candy doesn't accuse the nigga of squatting to the judge. Them he is accusing her of motherfucking unlawful eviction or some shit like that, which is. Oh, no.

[Kim Fields]

Unlawful eviction is so funny. Ooh.

[Kid Fury]

Fantasia claps back at her father.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, did she? Okay, well, hold on, wait. We can't move on yet. We got to go back.

[Kid Fury]

Wait, hold on, hold on. Okay, so she posted his mugshot.

[Kim Fields]

No, she didn't.

[Kid Fury]

From two years ago. Yes, she did.

[Kim Fields]

Oh. Work

[Kid Fury]

Misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.

[Kim Fields]

Uh. Oh, Lord.

[Kid Fury]

She captioned on Instagram. I wasn't going to do this, but this has gotten out of hand. Joseph Barino, I can't even call you dad. Or father. You are a donor. We have covered for you long enough. My mom and me have made you look like you were an okay man. But now you have come from my king. Well, well, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to laugh at that part. Tonight I will go live. And behind me will stand all who know you. Oh, don't go live. Please don't go live.

[Kim Fields]

Fantasia, Please don't go live.

[Kid Fury]

And tonight will be yesterday by the time that's gone.

[Kim Fields]

Please don't do that.

[Kid Fury]

Tonight I'll go live. Please, please don't. I hope somebody can change their mind. How can someone steal if Fantasia Taylor is the CEO and my king, Kendall Taylor is the president of all our companies. Well, very easily.

[Kim Fields]

Well, that's. Yeah, you can still. Oh, Fantasia. Oh, God.

[Kid Fury]

So two things can be true. Like you said. Like I just said, this nigga ain't shit. And possibly for money.

[Kim Fields]

Right? It's not looking good, actually, for either one of them. But I'm not shocked that she's like, yeah, my man, My man, My man. Cause n. Who are you? Who are you? Literally, a sperm donor. Literally, a last name donor. And that's it. Oh, well, not shocked.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, Fantasia, tonight I shall help you finish the war you started.

[Kim Fields]

No, you. You don't have to do that. You really don't, sister. You. You. I think this Instagram caption or whatever you wrote, you cleared.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, yeah, you really ate.

[Kim Fields]

That's enough.

[Kid Fury]

The mug shot.

[Kim Fields]

You don't have to give a.

[Kid Fury]

For this Nigga who was 60 something years old with them charges behind it. You could have just said. You could have just posted a frog emoji with the little T next to it.

[Kim Fields]

Right? I promise you, we all believe your daddy is garbage. You don't have to convince. None of us. None of us.

[Kid Fury]

I don't have to add anything else to this. Please don't.

[Kim Fields]

We believe it. Girl, we saw the movie and he wasn't in it. Exactly.

[Kid Fury]

Well. Well, it's 2026, and I decided that this is the year to finally launch my line of Stiletto Cut Press On Toenails. A thrilling new venture with a market that is untapped.

[Kid Fury]

I'm parched. And you know what would really do my thirst? Something spectacular. It'd be a crisp Sprite, Zero Sugar. That's right. Unk is watching the sweets, okay? Because summer's coming up and I'm trying to be thought Tiana. So you get the crisp lemon lime flavor just without the sugar. And there isn't like any crazy compromise and hidden asterisk and, you know, National Lampoon, like mystery of what's actually happening to you. It's refreshing. And as someone who might be obsessed with carbonated beverages, it just gives me exactly what I need. So try it out. This is Sprite Zero sugar. Obey your thirst. God, I've always wanted to say that. So, yeah, child, Todd Tucker is over there talking about Candy, trying to put him out and it's not right. And they threw his shit out without consent or court intervention and shit. And you know, she's in New York working on Broadway shit. And he's been in Georgia taking care of the kids. Candy Savage. He ain't paying shit to take care of them goddamn kids. That house is mine. That I had before we got married. Which you know is true, right? And I allowed your ass to live in my motherfucking guest house. And you ain't paying not nary bill. You ain't bought nobody no cheeses around this bitch. You ain't bringing nobody a Twizzler, motherfucker. You ain't paid for no TiVo and you want us to keep staying here did you don't even pay for no socks to put on Ace and blaze feet. And you wanna. You're gonna get out. You have to get out and find someplace to make money. And work and live right.

[Kim Fields]

So do you know how divorce works? Like, you can't. We don't. You don't get to still live in my home when we divorce. Like you.

[Kid Fury]

Ms. Candy's perspective.

[Kim Fields]

You don't get to still do that. I'm not sure what. What's not clicking for Todd like you. We're getting divorced, nigga. Why wouldn't you be removed from the main house? Why wouldn't you be removed from the property altogether? The fact that you were allowed to stay in the guest house is okay. Oh, Lord.

[Kid Fury]

You see a clip of Candy and Mama Joyce walking out somewhere in the house?

[Kim Fields]

I was just about to bring her up.

[Kid Fury]

So, Mama Joyce, what do you think of this Messy divorce, girl, Ms. Joyce could barely say two words before Kandi appeared. Almost teleported.

[Kim Fields]

There we go.

[Kid Fury]

Into the shot and was like, no, I'm trying to turn, Mama. And turn.

[Kim Fields]

She do not need a mic.

[Kid Fury]

Please, please.

[Kim Fields]

Joyce cannot get on a mic.

[Kid Fury]

Mama, you better get your ass in this Suburban.

[Kim Fields]

Correct. Cause you also.

[Kid Fury]

You are gonna bring her up.

[Kim Fields]

Cause you're. Because you are also living off of Candy. So just get in the car. Just get in the van. Just get in the van and hush. Cause you. I mean, this is honestly kind of sounding like the Fantasia story, except, you know, obviously, Mama Joyce was like a present parent. But like, you, you warned about Todd because you didn't want nobody dipping into your fund. You didn't want the potential access to Kandi's money. You didn't want none of that to be impacted for you, I'm sure. And your daughter, yes, you love and care about her. All that. But I'm sure you were also looking out for yourself. So, yeah, you go in and just get in the van. Just get in the Suburban and let's go.

[Kid Fury]

Did. Did Kandi ever have a boyfriend that Joyce liked?

[Kim Fields]

I. I have no way of knowing.

[Kid Fury]

Uncle Luke running for Congress? Child who? Luther Campbell. Uncle Luke of Miami, Florida. The reason we have parental advisory stickers.

[Kim Fields]

No, he's not.

[Kid Fury]

Big booty hoes. Y2 live crew. The King. Yes, he is.

[Kim Fields]

He is surely the United States Congress. Like. Or. Florida. He's running for Florida. What? What do you mean? What are you saying exactly? He's running to be a state representative or. Oh, my God.

[Kid Fury]

Previously said he was considering. He now plans to run for Congress in the 2026 midterm election.

[Kim Fields]

No way.

[Kid Fury]

Yes, girly.

[Kim Fields]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Hell, yeah.

[Kim Fields]

Okay, so the United States House of Representatives. You are really. Okay, all right.

[Kid Fury]

Why? First of all, let the nigga run. He can. He's allowed. Um, and the gag is you better not.

[Kim Fields]

You better not. Don't even say it.

[Kid Fury]

I think you do a better job than a lot of current congresspeople.

[Kim Fields]

What. What has he done to give you that sense of. To make you feel so sure about that?

[Kid Fury]

Um, he's pretty active in terms of youth and, you know, overall community in South Florida. Yeah, he's like a big philanthropist in terms of South Florida. Yeah, he's like a football coach. He's always front of the line and shit.

[Kim Fields]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

But I think most people just know him for being Uncle Luke.

[Kim Fields]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

You know, it's not like he bounced around, always on Instagram, talking to, running his mouth. Like, I don't. I can't just, you know, adorn him in medals because I don't know a lot about his personal goings on or even policy, to be honest with you. But just the very bit that I do know about him and the current people in office, I'm like, it'd be worse.

[Kim Fields]

I know he's running because whoever is currently in that seat is being indicted on fraud charges. So. 15 federal counts for whoever this lady is, Ms. Sherfilis McCormick. So, yeah, you're probably right about that. He probably is going to be better, at least as far as that measure is concerned. But I just don't going to.

[Kid Fury]

I wouldn't say could be.

[Kim Fields]

Could. Okay. Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Okay.

[Kim Fields]

Well, you know, I just can't really. I'm having trouble visualizing this.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Kim Fields]

But I do think if he could. I mean, I don't know how to say this in a nice way, but like, Miami would be the city to do it. Miami would be the ones to put Uncle Luke in office.

[Kid Fury]

Like, I don't think we have the power to do that. Furthermore, Miami.

[Kim Fields]

Well, I mean, what are you. Stephen A. Smith is talking about running for president. So it's like, I don't know Stephen

[Kid Fury]

A. Smith is a lunatic.

[Kim Fields]

Well, I did not know Uncle Luke was like, had rehabbed his image and was out here trying to.

[Kid Fury]

You knew Stephen Smith was a lunatic.

[Kim Fields]

Yes, but. And so I didn't take that seriously. Same way you just said Uncle Luke was running for Congress. I did not take that seriously. That sounds crazy to me, but all right.

[Kid Fury]

I'm not taking it seriously. Through seriously either. It's fucking Uncle Luke running for Congress.

[Kim Fields]

But I could see Miami doing it. Crazier things have happened in Florida.

[Kid Fury]

Miami will never make this man. They will never put him in the office of anything. He's black and a former Rapper. That is not going to happen. It's just not.

[Kim Fields]

But the lady who's.

[Kid Fury]

Have y' all not saw them dumb ass white Latin people who were on that fucking boat over at Bayside talking about Donald Trump. They made like a whole song for Donald Trump. Latinos for Donald Trump.

[Kim Fields]

Yuck. Well, but there's a black woman in there now.

[Kid Fury]

What the fuck that got to do with this?

[Kim Fields]

Okay, nevermind. I'll try to make it make sense that now I've run up

[Kid Fury]

Shia LaBeouf, got his ass beat down to the Mardi Gras. They say he was doing absolutely too much. Everybody was over his shit. He got throughout about three different establishments. There's an allegation that one of the bartenders who was sick of his shit taught him to go find some holes to dig or some shit. We're living footage of him getting his ass cracked outside of somewhere shirtless in the street, getting his ass beat by. It seems like the same people who are trying to get him to calm down. There were. There is a clip of this one hulking brother who's like holding him down on the ground and Shia LaBeouf is literally rolling around like a toddler trying to, I guess, get back up and keep fighting or whatever. And this man eventually clocked him two good times in the head and.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, he looks terrible.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, he doesn't look good.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, damn.

[Kid Fury]

But there you go. Twigs.

[Kim Fields]

Yikes. How crazy. Because his last name is the Beef.

[Kid Fury]

All right, let's talk about Michael Jordan and the Daytona 500. They're asking why he's touching this.

[Kim Fields]

It just is the Beef. I'm sorry.

[Kid Fury]

Yep, I bet it is. So Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson. Michael Jordan, I guess owns a NASCAR team or something. This is his team.

[Kim Fields]

Okay.

[Kid Fury]

Right, right, right.

[Kim Fields]

Why not, right?

[Kid Fury]

Hockey. Like I'm surprised he doesn't.

[Kim Fields]

All the money. It's not enough.

[Kid Fury]

He needs more NASCAR anyway.

[Kim Fields]

That's big money.

[Kid Fury]

You're right.

[Kim Fields]

That's it. And that's all he cares about.

[Kid Fury]

You're fucking right. You're so fucking right. You are correct tonight. So him and his girlies won the Daytona 500 over the weekend.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, wow.

[Kid Fury]

Quick question. I guess that's the big bad bitch.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah. I didn't know they wanted.

[Kid Fury]

So is Indy 500. Is that horses or is that cars, too?

[Kim Fields]

I'm pretty sure that's cars. It's just in Indianapolis instead of Daytona.

[Kid Fury]

That's what I figured. Oh, wait, but wait. Indiana Derby is the horse. Is. That's the horsey. Girlies.

[Kim Fields]

The Kentucky Derby The Derby.

[Kid Fury]

The Kentucky Derby is the horse girlies work. That's the horse Girlies, yes.

[Kim Fields]

Although there is.

[Kid Fury]

So yeah, they won.

[Kim Fields]

I just looked it up.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, I was close.

[Kim Fields]

Oh yeah, Mr. Sports Star.

[Kid Fury]

So yeah, they won the Daytona 500 over this past weekend. Tyler Redick took the them to this win. NASCAR. Oh, I guess the team is called 2311 Racing. Guess the 23 for him and X. I guess those are Roman numerals. Okay, whatever. 23 Xi Racing. Yeah. They win the big old Goblet of fire and shit and yay. And so there was a clip of Michael Jordan I guess like grabbing onto Tyler Reddick's six year old son like on his, the back of his like leg. And maybe it seemed like he was like poking his butt.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Playfully I guess. But still strange.

[Kim Fields]

Smiling. But it looks very weird the way he's kind of grabbing the child's but and then scratching on the back of his knee. It is weird.

[Kid Fury]

Like of all the.

[Kim Fields]

I'm just seeing it for the first time and I'm kind of disturbed. Like why, right. Why you wouldn't just tossle him on the head or something? Like why would you grab a. It's weird.

[Kid Fury]

He's been picking him up and you know, hold him to the side.

[Kim Fields]

Anything other than grabbing at his butt and then rubbing on the back of his knee, like why are you doing that?

[Kid Fury]

That was. I saw that and I was like,

[Kim Fields]

why are you doing that? To the point.

[Kid Fury]

I've never, I've never seen that as a, as a form of like yeah, you know, loving on a kid or playing with a kid. I've never seen like oh, scratch the back of the knee. No. And I don't even see that people do that with their own kids.

[Kim Fields]

Right, right. It's just strange.

[Kid Fury]

Anyway, Tyler Reddick actually addressed it recently. He said from my perspective, I've gotten to know Michael and his family very well over the years I've been with 23 XY. I don't see what other people see when it comes to this. For me it's a huge moment. This is the biggest moment in my career. It's a huge moment for my family and for his family. And I just put that off to the side and think about the look on Yvette's face and his. Michael's wife and the whole family and this whole group when they got to the victory lane two and just how happy everybody was celebrating together. So that's where I'm at with it. This sounds to me like he was like, no Shade. I don't like it either. I also thought it was weird. Let's just focus on the fact that we won and keep.

[Kim Fields]

Okay. I mean, it kind of sounds like

[Kid Fury]

I just put that off to the side.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah. What do you mean? I just put that off to. I don't see what other people see when it comes to this. Kind of sounds dismissive, like y'. All. Like we're being weird about it. But I'm looking at this video and I'm not the weird one. This is strange. Look, it's. It's weird for this grown man to be touching your. Your son like this. Sorry. And I get that. Well, I understand that being more critical about it is certainly gonna lead to professional repercussions for you. But, I mean, if that's really. I just can't picture me as a parent being okay with somebody touching my child like this. I can't. And I same. I can't. I also can't picture choosing my career over my child's safety.

[Kid Fury]

It makes you sound crazy.

[Kim Fields]

Right? And I just don't. I really don't. What could anybody say?

[Kid Fury]

I'll see what they say to make sense. For me, it's a huge moment and the biggest moment of my career. It's like you immediately deflect to think about the fact that we won. Not even just. Yeah, he says my career. But then he's like, it was a movie moment for my family, for his family. I put that off the side, and I'm looking at his wife's face and how excited everybody was. It makes people crazy.

[Kim Fields]

Like, I would love for Michael Jordan to explain what he was trying to do in this situation. Like, why did you touch that little boy?

[Kid Fury]

He won.

[Kim Fields]

I don't see. And now I'm very uncomfortable. And I'm gonna be looking at Michael Jordan sideways for a very long time. Cause I don't understand why you would. I mean, right when you were just, you know, an asshole to other grown, overpaid athletes. I was. Whatever. I didn't really give a shit about that. But now I'm. Now I'm locked in. Cause what is this, nigga? What are you doing? For real? Like, you trying to get the little boy to act excited or. That's what I'm saying. Like, if you were really trying to, like, touch on a kid, why would you do it in front of this giant trophy with a million cameras and all this? Like, it. That's why I'm saying it looks weird. And I'm not gonna. Ain't no shame Mm, mm. I don't like it.

[Kid Fury]

When I was six, I didn't want nobody besides my mama and daddy and granny and them to touch me. When it would be like a family friend or anybody, it would just be like, ah. And touch my head, bitch. I don't know yet, but that was me as a child. I was not friendly. I'm still not.

[Kim Fields]

Well, I didn't really want nobody rubbing on me like that. Like everybody can just not touch me. Like, I don't.

[Kid Fury]

I'm talking about like in ways that normal people do.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Rubbing your hands.

[Kim Fields]

No, don't do that. Don't touch me. Don't.

[Kid Fury]

I don't want you to touch me period.

[Kim Fields]

Right. Not at that age.

[Kid Fury]

My buttocks.

[Kim Fields]

It's just my six year old. Right. It's weird. And then rubbing on the. I've never had when I was a kid, an adult rub on the back of my knee randomly like that. Like what? No, I'm sorry. My granddaddy would have went and got the pistol. I don't like this. Sorry. Don't like this.

[Kid Fury]

My auntie did, My auntie did used to poke me on the railway and go, woo hoo.

[Kim Fields]

Well, we do that to like toddlers.

[Kid Fury]

I hated that shit.

[Kim Fields]

You're not supposed to do it when kids are old enough to remember it.

[Kid Fury]

Right.

[Kim Fields]

You gotta do it to toddlers with their little round bellies when they think it's adorable. Yeah, yeah, I don't like this.

[Kid Fury]

Toddlers in their little route Nelly.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah, this is pretty gross to me.

[Kid Fury]

Sweet babies that don't know the world is trash yet. Please be very nice to them. Please be so, so nice to them and don't put your fuckery and all of your trauma on them. Then them up for the rest of their lives because you don't have help. Oh, I freestyled that.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, well, I mean it's a.

[Kid Fury]

That's it for the hot tops, is it for this week. We made it. We got out on the other side of this. I didn't think we would be able to shout out to us how much time. Oh, girl.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah, you sped right through that.

[Kid Fury]

I skated, bitch. What else you wanna talk about?

[Kim Fields]

Well, I'm, I'm, I'm actually still kind of disgusted by Michael Jordan. Like, I don't like girl.

[Kid Fury]

Furthermore, Tyler Reddick. I would have been like, this was the biggest moment of my career. Everyone was really, really excited. And this is fire. Thank you so much for the goblet. Will be drinking Hennessy out of it tonight. And I also quit this Is gonna be my last day working for 23 Etsy. And God bless everybody involved. Shout out to Space Jam. Great film. The first one anyway. And yeah, I think that's. I think we're about. We're done here. I'm gonna hop into my sports car or whatever and I'm gonna hit the gas, babe.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah, I hope there's a lot of people.

[Kid Fury]

I would never work for this person ever, ever again. And I would never, ever come out and be like, yeah, that was weird. But you know what, girl?

[Kim Fields]

I won.

[Kid Fury]

You know what's really, really worth talking about? My win, my career and this trophy.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah, that's really what it is for me. I'm praying there's some context here that we just don't get, you know, in this seven second clip.

[Kid Fury]

What could it be?

[Kim Fields]

I don't know. Like I saw on this website where I found the video. They said that, that they had been dumping ice and stuff. You know how they dump water and all that.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah.

[Kim Fields]

So that Michael was trying to brush ice off of the child's shirt and

[Kid Fury]

all this on his butt.

[Kim Fields]

Right. I'm like, and we don't, how come we don't see ice falling down then? That's when, like, please, let's just be. Come on, man. I don't want to think nothing.

[Kid Fury]

Are they. Are people allowed to say no comment anymore?

[Kim Fields]

Of course, they usually don't, but they can cause no comment. I think anything other than blowing it off and being like, y' all making a big deal, whatever, it's nothing. We're all just so happy about the win. Anything other than that would've pissed off Michael Jordan.

[Kid Fury]

Well, I was thinking about whoever was trying to say that oh, he had ice on his hands.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, well, you know, I think people

[Kid Fury]

are like, bitch, are you cool?

[Kim Fields]

I think people are really trying to make this make sense. Cause nobody wants to believe Michael Jordan was touching on a little boy.

[Kid Fury]

You know who could help make it make sense?

[Kim Fields]

Michael Jordan. Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Unless he couldn't make it make sense either. Cause it's nonsense.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah. Others have noted that Bo's shirt was wet after getting ice water dumped on him. And the six time NBA champion was just trying to get ice off the six year old. That's not what I see. I literally don't see that. Ah, okay. Okay. Yeah, sorry. We can go and wrap that up. Pretty disturbing though, as far as I'm concerned.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, I think we're just gonna go ahead and end it there. I was gonna talk about bro again, but for what she's really riding right.

[Kim Fields]

And we don't. We really don't. Oh, not baddies. What's the. What's the stud show I love? Oh, Hoochie Daddies.

[Kid Fury]

Hoochie Daddies.

[Kim Fields]

It should go be on Hoochie Daddies.

[Kid Fury]

Guess what? It was on the tip of my tongue.

[Kim Fields]

Was it? Okay. And with that, gonna call her booty.

[Kid Fury]

Ladies and germs. Where are they at with the next season? Cause that show was teased.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, yeah. No, I mean, and there was a season two. I'm not sure if there's a season three, though.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, that third.

[Kim Fields]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

Third McGurden.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, hoochie daddy. Season three is confirmed and currently in production.

[Kid Fury]

Let's get to it, girl.

[Kim Fields]

Now.

[Kid Fury]

Let's get to it, girl.

[Kim Fields]

Amen.

[Kid Fury]

All right, that's gonna be it for the hot tops this week. Praying for most. We'll come back with your letters.

[Kim Fields]

Oh man, yes it is. Send your Questions to AskTheRead Gmail.com we may read them aloud on the show. We do have an update this week from Anissa. If you remember, Anissa's man had mice and then tried to gaslight her about that mouse being in her car.

[Kid Fury]

What an absolutely diabolical.

[Kim Fields]

Oh wow. So Aneesa said. Woo, I was not expecting y' all to read me like this, but I get it. My boyfriend called and confessed the day before your show came out. He said what you guys expected. He was ashamed and embarrassed and explained that he had hoped the situation was taken care of and wanted badly for the mouse in my car to just be a coincidence.

[Kid Fury]

Nigga, girl, what is wrong with them? Like what they even be talking about? Ooh, let me just hope this bitch got mice too.

[Kim Fields]

He did take measures to take care of the situation before I came to see him. However, the apartment complex delayed calling pest control, so he went ahead and got Lil Jon, which is the cat.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, that's a cute name.

[Kim Fields]

But to make matters worse, Lil Jon has a disability which affects his hunting, so that didn't actually help much. Lil Josh said you thought you was bringing me in here to

[Kid Fury]

that cat said what mice?

[Kim Fields]

Oh no child, the ghetto get me out of here. Anyway, I still felt upset, but we agreed that he would come see me that next day. All that morning I thought about how much more fucked up my situation could have been. What if I missed my flight or Got into a car accident or worse, brought that mouse into the airport. I got dressed and made lunch for us before my boyfriend came over. When he parked, I met him outside and told him that it was actually best for him to leave.

[Kid Fury]

Can you imagine that? You're flying back to New York.

[Kim Fields]

No, I can't. No, I cannot.

[Kid Fury]

And there's just a mouse.

[Kim Fields]

Nope.

[Kid Fury]

You're 30 some odd feet.

[Kim Fields]

No, thank you.

[Kid Fury]

Here goes this mouse that we all have to figure out.

[Kim Fields]

And it's just scrambling around in the overhead compartment.

[Kid Fury]

Everyone's screaming.

[Kim Fields]

I broke down while making lunch and realized that my boyfriend never actually cared for me. I kept hoping that if I expressed how upset and inconvenienced I was, that he would make things right. But he didn't seem very interested in that. He was upset and showed his ugly side. He tried to toss me $80, quote unquote, for my troubles. But I told him he has more troubles than I do.

[Kid Fury]

$8 ain't even cover that damn dry cleaning, girl. Let's be serious, Anisa.

[Kim Fields]

I want to thank you guys and shout out to my homegirls who sent me flowers to cheer me up on Valentine's Day. I'm single, but I'm not alone. Thanks, Anissa.

[Kid Fury]

Damn right.

[Kim Fields]

Exactly.

[Kid Fury]

You got Jerry with you. He's got time. I'm just. I'm so sorry. That was.

[Kim Fields]

That girl is trying to heal and move on. And here you go.

[Kid Fury]

I can't believe this nigga waited until, like, however long to be like, all right.

[Kim Fields]

Okay. Technically, yes, it was.

[Kid Fury]

Duh, nigga.

[Kim Fields]

Wow.

[Kid Fury]

After arguing with you about it and blaming the cat.

[Kim Fields]

The cat got a learning disability, so it don't hunt like it's supposed to. Nigga lead a cat out of this.

[Kid Fury]

I thought that mouse would be a coincidence. Are you okay?

[Kim Fields]

As soon as I said it's a mouse in my car, why didn't you say so? Technically, I do have mice. Like, why would you think that was a coincidence? Why would it be a coincidence instead of what makes so much more sense, which is that it came from your home? Why would I even call you if I thought there was a chance the mouse came from my house?

[Kid Fury]

Insane.

[Kim Fields]

I'm glad you're single, baby. You can do better than that, nigga. Best of luck to you. All right. Our first letter this week comes from Anthony. Anthony says. Hey, Crystal and Fury. I'm a 45 year old straight black man who was raised on hood logic, hood sensibilities, hood hood rules, and hood spirituality.

[Kid Fury]

What the fuck are you doing over

[Kim Fields]

Here I started getting into the read because Charlamagne kept shouting y' all out as one of his favorite podcasts.

[Kid Fury]

Even more shocking when he was going

[Kim Fields]

through his therapy awakening. Meanwhile, I was deep in my therapy bag as well. So I pulled up to the read. Now, let me be real. In the beginning, me and Crystal used to have full blown one sided arguments.

[Kid Fury]

Glad you know that.

[Kim Fields]

I'm talking walking around my apartment with my hands on my hips like, yo, this chick is out of line. Meanwhile, it was just me yelling into the air at a woman who did not know I existed.

[Kid Fury]

I'm glad that you said it out

[Kim Fields]

loud, but therapy will humble you because now I nod along like, yeah, Crystal got a point. At least 87% of the time, my friends clown me non stop. I mean, it's low, but you're. You're doing better.

[Kid Fury]

Specific number.

[Kim Fields]

My friends clown me non stop talking about. Here he go taking woman's side again. And honestly, it is what it is. Healing has turned me into a low key feminist, and I accept that work. Anyway, the issue is that as a true Gemini, I got different squads for different vibes, different groups for different versions of me. But I have one best bro, Shawn. We met in our mid to late twenties and instantly bonded over exactly what young, dumb niggas bond over. Hoes, money, and music. Yeah, Sean has been that dude for almost 20 years. He's solid and loyal 10 toes down. Oh, it's not top three.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, yeah, that's true.

[Kim Fields]

Um, he's been there for me through every high and every low, every why did I smash her? And every bro, I'm never drinking again. The problem is that I have grown up, but Shawn has not. I've done a decade of therapy, shadow work, introspection, ego death, all that shit. I am not who I used to be. Meanwhile, Shawn is still moving off the same 2008 operating system. Same logic, same habits, same priorities. Even his style permanently lives in the late oos, bro never let that oversized clothing look go. And now it has actually made a comeback.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, he really tired of his ass

[Kim Fields]

now because I've evolved and he hasn't. We bump heads more and more, and he swears I'm trying to therapy him to death. Which might be true sometimes, but damn, I'm trying to help. It's getting to the point where we're not as close as we used to be. And that's the part that stings. I always thought Shawn would be the one constant in my life, no matter the jobs, the women, the drama, or the growth. He was always the steady one. So now I'm asking, is it possible that I have just outgrown my bro, or is there a middle ground where I don't abandon him, but I also don't shrink myself to match a version of me that I'm just not anymore? Please help. Thanks, Anthony.

[Kid Fury]

All right, Anthony. Shout out to you for your. Your work. You.

[Kim Fields]

That really tickled me. Because men always do this with me. They always do this with me. It does.

[Kid Fury]

So, you know, welcome to Sense.

[Kim Fields]

Yep.

[Kid Fury]

I think that it is completely possible and also incredibly normal for you to have outgrown or grown apart from a close friend. Happens all the time. It happens to most friendships. But it just. Is it hard? Does it suck? Is it something that you don't really want? Of course. Especially if you've been friends for an extended time and you've shared all of this personal stuff as you said, that you have. But I think especially in cases like this, where you are more just mentally, emotionally, and or spiritually sound. Sure. Evolved situations like this can either agitate you or hold you back. Because you. I mean, you already agitated. You talk about this nigga still dressed like you in 2008, which is hilarious. And I can see it. But, you know, outside of that, it's like, you look, think about this. You are acknowledging that this nigga has not matured in almost 20 years. Yeah. And it frustrates you. But you still are trying to figure out a way to keep him in your life without shrinking yourself. Why should you have to? You can love that nigga from afar. You can love him and never talk to him again. So, yeah, I think you've probably just grown apart. And you have. It's probably for the best that you figure out how to accept that without placing blame.

[Kim Fields]

I agree. I. I think. I don't like to use the word abandoned when we talk about grown people, because words mean things. And I don't think you can abandon someone you don't have an obligation to take care of. But there is a middle ground between, like, I just don't fuck with him no more, and I'm pretending to be something I'm not in order to be friends. And it is reclassifying where he is in your life. He can just simply no longer be that extra close. This is my bro, you know, 10 toes down bestie type of thing. You can be like, okay, this. I'm not in that place no more. We don't share the same values and stuff like that anymore. For us to have that level of comfort. So now Shawn is somebody I'm cool with. We met, you know, back in college or whatever. So we cool. And, you know, I call Shawn when I want to go to the strip club. I call Shawn when it's time to celebrate birthdays or, you know, super bowl parties, shit like that. But I'm not turning to him for best friend type of shit, because we're just not on that level anymore. I think that is the middle ground. And you just have to. Like Kipuri said, you have to be in a space of, like, being willing to do that, because, yeah, sometimes you do outgrow people, especially if you go to therapy and they don't.

[Kid Fury]

Girl. Girl.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah, yeah, that'll do it real quick. Because you. You realize that the stuff you used to put up with or tolerate or think was okay is just not anymore. And sometimes we are leaving the people we love the most behind in that journey. And that is painful. That is hard. So you sit with that, the fact that it's hard, but also, this is what's best for you. And, yeah, I mean, I just. It's sad that he hasn't grown up, but the reality is that most people really don't. Most people don't really mature the way they should.

[Kid Fury]

So, yeah,

[Kim Fields]

yeah, you. Sometimes you just have to celebrate the relationship for what it was. Like, damn, that was my best friend for 18, 19 years. And, yeah, now we just cool. And that's okay. It has to be, because there's nothing wrong with you for growing up, and you can't force nobody else on their journey. Like, you don't want to be that person who's just, like, you know, spreading the good gospel of therapy. But. But at the same time, when you do go through that process, you will naturally start to change the way you talk, the things you believe. Like, it will come out anyway, even without you being like, you know, let me take everybody. Let me pay for everybody's first 30 therapy sessions or whatever. It will show in your beliefs and the way that you move and carry yourself. So, yeah, I think you just have to reclassify his place in your life and move on from there. Sucks, but it's part of this. Okay, good luck to you. Our next letter. Oh, here's a nice short one from Harold. Says, I recently listened to an old chicken.

[Kid Fury]

Sorry.

[Kim Fields]

You would. You would. I recently listened to an old episode, and both of you mentioned how journaling has helped you. My dilemma is that when I start to journal, I end up having a conversation with myself instead. Then I realize there are only actually five sentences on the page, which makes me upset because I really wanted to get my thoughts down on paper. What advice would you give to a person who's trying to get better at journaling? Thanks, Harold.

[Kid Fury]

Well, Harold, yeah, this used to be me big time when I started journaling specifically as an adult. And I don't know, I think sometimes I still do struggle with it, but I'm not really sure what ticked for me. I think it just kind of. I think maybe I just started with, I'm going to type as I'm thinking about this, or write as I'm thinking about this. Like, I'm freestyle typing. Like, I'm not really even going into it with a plan for what I want to talk about necessarily or what I want to write about or. And I don't expect or need for any journal entry to be like, I'm a pitch this, this.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, yeah. Oh, right. You know what I mean?

[Kid Fury]

For sure. There's some entries I go back and read and I'm like, what, were you sober? Oh, you were big mad. And that. That's a typo. It's just a typo. Yeah. So, yeah, I. I think that it's probably just about either just freestyle and go for it and don't overthink it and don't get into your head. Just let that pen stay on the paper and them hands stay on the keys, or have the conversation first and then write chit chat with yourself. Give yourself like 60 seconds, 120 seconds to be like, oh, yeah, because da, da, da, da. And then just write. Don't think about anything else.

[Kim Fields]

Gotcha.

[Kid Fury]

Or you can meditate first, but that's a whole different beast that not everybody likes or understands, and that is 1000% okay. Understandable. Yeah, but sometimes that helps for me.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah, I actually still do this, Harold. I start journaling and then my mind just starts going. And the next thing I know, I'm having a whole debate with myself. And I find that it's really okay because normally I'll realize I'm doing that and be like, okay, back to the paper, you know, like back to what I was trying to say. And so sometimes I'll go back to it and I'll just write like a summary of the conversation I just had with myself.

[Kid Fury]

Right.

[Kim Fields]

Like, while I was writing this, I started thinking about blah, blah, blah, blah. And so now I think maybe this, this, this. But also the point is to help you process what it is you have going on inside, right? So if you start writing and then you start talking out loud to yourself. I don't even really think that's a bad thing. Like, Right. I think as long as you are feeling better or feeling like you're. You're. You have the space to get things out. Like, you might need. You honestly might need to get evaluated for adhd. Cause this sounds very ADHD of you to get distracted by your own thoughts and start having a whole nother conversation. So that is. That's possible.

[Kid Fury]

But no judgment here, babe.

[Kim Fields]

I. You know, journaling is not even something I do regularly, but when I do it is. It almost always goes that way. And I'm just trying to get it out, whether it's on the paper or just out into, you know, the ether, out into the environment around me. You know, I'm telling Lainey, who could not give less of a shit about anything I'm going through. I tried to talk to this nigga last night. She rolled her eyes and sighed. I'm like, I'm sorry. Do you have to get up in the morning?

[Kid Fury]

Like, it was just so rude.

[Kim Fields]

Am I. Am I bothering. Am I interrupting your bedtime? You have fucking nothing to do. Like, I'm just trying to talk to you, mind you. I'm not even expecting you to talk back, and you still got an attitude. Okay.

[Kid Fury]

All right. And she's like, guess what? You will do nothing as well.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah. She's like, but we could be silent. You could shut the fuck up and think about it to yourself. Like, no, nigga, only one of us is paying the bills over here.

[Kid Fury]

But they're so rude.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah, maybe so. Try that. What I said about, like, when you realize you're getting distracted, go back and write a quick summary of whatever it was that you. The conversation you had about yourself. But also, maybe don't. If you're being hard on yourself about this, maybe just don't. Because however you do it is fine. And if you're seeing the benefits from having this practice, I think that's what matters more than anything else.

[Kid Fury]

It's your journal. It's not the Bible. It's not a physics test. It's your book about what you got going inside. And I think Krystal made an excellent point of if you feel it, let it happen for a bit, get back to writing. And I think before you know it, it'll just be like, oh, a little bit easier. But also accept that, like, she and I said, we still do it, right?

[Kim Fields]

I mean, just our book. This is. I. One of the biggest lessons for me over the past several Months has been the need to make things work for me instead of trying to force myself into what it is I think I should be doing.

[Kid Fury]

Amen.

[Kim Fields]

Like, well, I shouldn't have issues with attention. I shouldn't have trouble motivating myself, and I should not. But I do. But I do. So let's figure out what I need, what accommodations, what steps I have to break down or change or whatever else to get me to do the fucking thing. Cause trying to tell myself, well, you should just be able to do it is not working. So.

[Kid Fury]

And not fair.

[Kim Fields]

And not fair, because I. This is the situation I'm in, bro. You want me to magically be different, or you want to help me get to a place where I'm, like, functioning better and feeling better about myself? Like, what is really more important? Like, when Dr. Joy came on Chrysalis couch and somebody was complaining about their child's father, not understanding that they need a break from the kids, and they feel like they shouldn't have to say it because you should know. And Dr. Joyce said, well, do you want to be right, or do you want a break from the kids? Like, which one's more important? Here you write that you shouldn't have to say it, but do you want to stand on that? I shouldn't have to say it, or do you want to get the fuck away from these kids every now and then? Like, I have to do what is going to work for me because trying to force it the other way, like I've been trying to do all my life, isn't working out. So however you get to this journaling process, as long as you get there and you're starting to see the benefits from it, I really think that's. That's what matters more than anything else.

[Kid Fury]

So 1000%.

[Kim Fields]

Best of luck to you, bud. Our last letter comes from angel. And angel says, recently, my fiance and I broke up after five years together.

[Kid Fury]

Damn.

[Kim Fields]

Long story short, I looked through his phone and discovered he had gotten a girl's number on Instagram. Now, I know that snooping is wrong, but I can't explain the intuition in the back of my mind that was telling me there was something I needed to see. And I was right. What I found was him and his friend laughing about it and his friend joking that he should ask her for nudes and make her a side piece. Now. Yes.

[Kid Fury]

Damn. Oh, yeah.

[Kim Fields]

That friend is not. He do not give a fuck about you.

[Kid Fury]

So

[Kim Fields]

now, yes, my fiance did laugh it off, but as my partner, why were you not shutting down this Inappropriate behavior. Why was a girl comfortable enough to even offer her number to you in the first place?

[Kid Fury]

Are you on his page and shit? I guess you're probably on it.

[Kim Fields]

After I read the messages, I confronted him. And he originally tried to act like I was crazy and he didn't know what I was talking about. But finally he confessed. He said that he had just met this girl and it wasn't anything serious, just conversation. But if that was the case, why would he lie about it to my face? The part that's really confusing to me, though, is that he says because I looked through his phone, we can't be together anymore, and that me looking through his phone was a violation of trust and he can never trust me again.

[Kid Fury]

You mean like when you got this bitch number and then laughed behind my back with your homie about getting her nudes? That seemed like a violation of trust, too, since we're on the subject.

[Kim Fields]

After I confronted him, he went completely cold. He didn't want to tell me any details and didn't want to reconcile, even after I offered to go back to therapy or do couples counseling. Am I missing something here? The only reason I went through his phone. Please. The only reason I went through his phone, even though it was wrong, was because I followed my instincts and my instincts were right. But now I'm feeling regret over even mentioning it to him. And granted, this isn't the first time this has happened. In the beginning of our relationship, I found out he was talking to another girl on Instagram, but he played it off like they were just friends. Before this happened, we were doing so well. We had seemingly open communication. Our days were happy, or at least I thought they were. And we were in the process of saving up for our wedding. Now I feel like I'm mourning the life I could have had and the only person I thought I could trust. I'm waiting till June for the lease to end so I can move out on my own and start my new life. But I'm scared. I moved to this city with him because he promised to marry me if I did. And now I'm here alone, trying to figure out how to move forward. Was I in the wrong in the first place for even going through his phone? Or am I being gaslit to believe that this is mainly my fault? Thanks for your help, Angel. Oh, babe.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, a lot like what we're saying about Fantasia's father and husband. Two things can be true.

[Kim Fields]

Well, come on now.

[Kid Fury]

Two things can be true. We've said this before. If your instinct. If you're you know, your chakra or whatever is telling you something ain't right. That's. That's enough. That's enough. You don't need to go search through his phone, search through his chest of drawers, go on a national treasure hike to go, you know? Oh, yeah, now that we're on top of Mount Everest. It's true. Like, I can see the truth from up here. You honestly didn't need to go through this phone to get confirmation that this was cheating on you. You knew it. You felt it, and he's done it before, so. You know, I don't even know why we had to get to the point of this nigga breaking up with you. Because you went through his phone. You should have had all your stuff packed up by the time that nigga came on. She's been gone. I'd have been gone. I'm so glad. I'm never gonna like a nigga this much ever again.

[Kim Fields]

Are you sure?

[Kid Fury]

Oh, yeah.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, okay. You shutting that whole thing down,

[Kid Fury]

going through your phone? Never.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, okay. Okay. I thought you meant, like, knowing that

[Kid Fury]

you playing with me.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not even about liking so much. That's other shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You right. You right.

[Kid Fury]

Mm.

[Kim Fields]

So I think. I think that's sort of my issue here, Angel. Same thing Kiff touched on, which is, like, I don't really have an issue with y' all going through phones. It's that you don't have a plan for what you gonna do if you find something or if they find out that you did it.

[Kid Fury]

Girl.

[Kim Fields]

Like, you have to know. You have to have something. It sounds like you thought you were gonna go through his phone, confront him about this. He was gonna apologize. Y' all were gonna work it out. Like, you. You found evidence of him being inappropriate with another woman or cheating on you or whatever you want to call it. And yet you. You still wanted this nigga, even though this is not even the first time it's happened. I'm really confused.

[Kid Fury]

So, like, if you wanted him that bad, why did you even go through the phone?

[Kim Fields]

Why did you go through the phone? Yes. So this is the sort of thing you have to ask yourself before you go through the phone, because you can never undo. Because if you do, let's say you go through and there's nothing in there, and he finds out now, he's gonna be pissed, and rightfully so. Like, I would also break up with you for going through my phone. This nigga is just a jackass. This nigga is definitely A jackass being like, oh, well, the trust is violated, and now we can't be together no more. Like, yeah, but the trust is. Let's not do that. It honestly sounds like he was looking for a reason to break up with you. And you going through his phone was like, okay, I'm gonna just use that then. Cause that's as good as it's gonna get. It sounds like he was looking for a reason to not be engaged.

[Kid Fury]

Them long lighters.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

From the grocery store, the grill. And I would have just picked the first things to set a blade.

[Kim Fields]

This is a crime.

[Kid Fury]

I'm setting the whole house.

[Kim Fields]

This is a crime. It's called our dare.

[Kid Fury]

You don't do it, play in my face, and then lie on top of it. And then try to be like, oh, bitch, you ain't shit.

[Kim Fields]

Right?

[Kid Fury]

Because you went through my phone, hoe. And now the trust is broken, right?

[Kim Fields]

Niggas be trusting.

[Kid Fury]

You've been on these DMs for five years, girl. Are you cool?

[Kim Fields]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Now everything got to burn down. Now I have to burn everything down. Yeah, I. I'm not even gonna like that like a nigga that much. You see what I'm saying? Like, I wouldn't even. I literally would have just been gone

[Kim Fields]

at this point, you know, due to age and therapy. Honestly, more than age. I'm just not. I'm not doing. I'm not going back and forth with you no more.

[Kid Fury]

I'm not doing it.

[Kim Fields]

But he's. This is really a fucked up person. Like, this is. I. I don't even think you should want impact, baby. Couples counseling. Fuck this nigga. Fuck this nigga. It's crazy that he tried to turn around and put it on you using an excuse or using a rationale that would be valid if he wasn't actually cheating on you, but it sounds like he either was or had every intention to. So, again, you have to know before you go through the phone what it is you gonna do if you find something. And you have to be willing to risk your relationship in the case you don't find something like it before you even pick it up. Before you even pick it up. Like, yes, your intuition was correct, but you didn't have no game plan for, like, what you was gonna do with that. I think that's really. I can't stress enough that y' all have to. When you decide to go through a phone, you have to be willing for the relationship to end. You have to be willing to leave or for that person to leave you

[Kid Fury]

1000%. And you need to be like, intuition real quick. So since we on the subject, what do you see me doing when I'm trying to spark, nigga, Right?

[Kim Fields]

Like, right, right. Cause you're right. It is a lack of trust. And without trust, you don't have nothing. And y' all started off on a bad foot, girl.

[Kid Fury]

So, yeah, I and y' all engaged. And he playing games like that and got his Tommy Cole ass friends being like, get some nudes.

[Kim Fields]

The friends don't even respect the fact that he's engaged. That man has probably been stepping out on you. I hate to say that, but. Probably. Probably.

[Kid Fury]

And so what's to say he ain't

[Kim Fields]

do I think you're wrong for going through his phone? Not like, you know, morally or whatever. Like, it is a decision you make. I think where you fucked up was not being ready to leave him once you found evidence of what was going on here. But, yeah, he's absolutely. He absolutely tried to make it seem like the relationship is over because of you.

[Kid Fury]

No, you no nigga.

[Kim Fields]

Like, I'm gonna give you at least 60% of the blame here. At least. At least, sir. Because you were absolutely being inappropriate, knowing you planning a wedding with me, but got this girl's number. Talking about we just having conversations. So why. I don't know nothing about it. Why have to go through your phone to even find out about it? But then, no, that goes back to, you have to be ready to leave these niggas. So I think even though this person has treated you really horribly, he gave you a big gift by breaking up with you and not taking you back because you wasn't gonna leave him and he was gonna keep playing with you. So thank God that he. Yeah, thank God that he did you like this before you signed paperwork and made him your legal spouse. So now you can just leave. If you not on the lease, then fuck it. Let him pay that rent by himself and go home. But if you are, you know, I understand not wanting to fuck your credit up and all that like that, but I think this man, once you have gotten away from him and the dust settles, the smoke clears, you're gonna realize that him leaving you was a gift because you wasn't gonna do it. And this is not a good person. This not. This is not a relationship that is aligned. So, yeah, I'm trying to think, is there anything else here? Bless you, angel. But no. This is an asshole. Baby. You're better off without him. I know.

[Kid Fury]

It hurts so much better.

[Kim Fields]

Yikes. Look at how niggas will try to play you turn around and make it your fault.

[Kid Fury]

Like, okay, you sure you don't got mice? Do you want me to come back? Oh, my God.

[Kim Fields]

This is just like that, baby. And you see how Aneesa said, you know, at first I was gonna entertain the conversation. Then I realized this nigga got me fucked up. And you do not really. You gotta take a page from Aneesa's book. Realize this man really never had your best interest at heart, and somebody needs to. And that somebody has to be you, baby girl. Good luck to you. The Reid is wishing you the best of luck. All right, we're gonna wrap up the letters right there. Again. If you have a question for us, send that to askthereadmail.com. we'll be right back.

Substance use disorder and addiction is so isolating. And so as a black woman in recovery, hope must be loud. It grows louder. When you ask for help and you're vulnerable. It is the thread that lets you know that no matter what happens, you will be okay. When we learn the power of hope, recovery is possible, find out [e-mail] brought to you by the National Council for Mental well Being, Shatterproof and the adcount.

[Kid Fury]

We are back, folks. It is now time for the read and I will begin because this will probably take a while. Okay, first off, I'm just flipping it

[Kim Fields]

on and saying, yeah. Oh, okay. Psychology.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah. So hopefully it won't. So first up, Tyra Hot ice cream Banks. Come to the front. Come, come. Step up to the front, ma'. Am.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, it needs to be said. It needs to be said.

[Kid Fury]

Why did you even waste everybody time coming on this goddamn documentary? For what? To waste everybody's time and confirm that you are out of your goddamn mind. If you haven't heard, there is currently a docu series on Netflix. It is called Reality Check Inside America's Next Top Model, where they go over a lot of stuff that people have been discussing on TikTok over the past few years. Mostly people who were too young to have seen this show and Were going back like. Or some people who did grow up watching this show and were like, God damn, this show really was trash. Yeah.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

So in this Netflix, Netflix documentary, they go through a lot of the bad and a lot of the ugly couple, cool things. But they have quite a number of former contestants from the show who came on to discuss their experiences. Why these women really, really went through bullshit, not only on the set of that show, but afterward, winners included. So first, I want to talk about Shandy. So triggering. In case you haven't heard.

[Kim Fields]

This was crazy.

[Kid Fury]

And I do not remember this. Like, I kind of remember this whole thing about her cheating on her boyfriend

[Kim Fields]

or whatever, but I don't think I watched that. I also don't remember it, but I was horrified at what was in this documentary.

[Kid Fury]

So Shandy, at the time of filming her season, which I think it was like two or three.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, never mind. I definitely watched it. I just don't remember it.

[Kid Fury]

She was. It was very early, I believe. Matter of fact, let me pull it up.

[Kim Fields]

No, it was. It was Cycle two. I just looked it up.

[Kid Fury]

Okay, so there was a point where they were out in Milan during their. Their season. I think someone said that was like the first time where they took them overseas on the show. And for whatever reason, messiness, production is like, oh, let's have these Italian men who rode you around on Vespas earlier today, let's have them come over and drink wine or whatever with you. They all are drinking. You know, many of them get drunk. I think Shandy said she probably. I think in the documentary, she said she drank probably two bottles of wine. So she was very, very drunk. And one of the guys that she was like, everybody, a lot of the girls and these guys were in the hot tub at one point and, like, kissing and stuff. In the hot tub. But she says in the documentary that one point, she was in the shower. She was barely. She was so blackout drunk, she barely remembers being in the shower, but she knows she wasn't in there alone. And then eventually she was in a bed. She says that she. She says she, like, knew what was happening, but she didn't. Like, she didn't remember all of it right. But she kind of knew what was happening or something like that. So essentially, she was raped right in. On set of this show. They filmed it, right? And then they made a story out of it afterwards. And that story being that she cheated on her boyfriend back home. They like, it is fucking heinous. But hot ice cream. The director or whoever behind the camera at Some point asks Tyra Banks to her green eyed face, do you remember Shandi's story or the story about Shandy? Tyra Banks responds, I do remember it, but I can't talk on production because that's not my territory. Over her screen on the face, full name, right?

[Kim Fields]

Exactly.

[Kid Fury]

Tyra Banks, lower third creator and executive producer. How is territory. How is production not your territory when you are producer of the executive producer, executive kind, executive and creator of the program. The whole thing is your territory, madam. Furthermore, you afterwards went on this lame ass, like coffee sipping, tea sipping girl talk thing with them afterwards and was like, oh, you cheated on your boyfriend. Oh, that sucks. And did. But you know, yeah, horrendous. And for the fact, for the, the fact that you filmed this whatever last year, early this year, whenever the fuck you sat in front of these camera and said that, you remember it but you can't talk about it because it's not your territory. Your show, girl. Wow.

[Kim Fields]

Why you can't talk?

[Kid Fury]

I said it don't make sense. This bitch is literally out of marble. She's a villain. She does not have one marble left. She's completely bereft of marbles.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah, she's a villain.

[Kid Fury]

What she did to Danielle, how Danielle said that she got closing her gap after she said she didn't want to number of times essentially forcing her to. Because you know these girls don't want to go home.

[Kim Fields]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

And you're telling her like, you'll never be a model with that gap turned around. Gave somebody a gap.

[Kim Fields]

Gave somebody a gap.

[Kid Fury]

Some seasons later. Later.

[Kim Fields]

Right.

[Kid Fury]

On top of the fact there are several high fashion models now that have gaps and it's like, I'll eat it up.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Granted, the fashion industry has kind of started to embrace people that just ain't skinny white bitches as much as you want.

[Kim Fields]

Things have changed.

[Kid Fury]

Now you can be skinny and right.

[Kim Fields]

Things have definitely changed in that industry for sure. Yes.

[Kid Fury]

Either way, you, hot ice cream, are someone who allegedly erected this show to expose young women who are interested in being supermodels into the harsh realities of, of fashion while also like embracing them, showing them how to like get past certain critiques or certain experiences. And this is a go see and this photo shoot is really hard and da da, da da. And people are gonna do whatever, but. Mm, I got you. And here's how I did it, right? No, you just perpetuated the same bullshit that you went through, but worse.

[Kim Fields]

Yes.

[Kid Fury]

Did you ever get hypothermia? Did everyone, did anyone ever blame their Rape on you, right? Did anybody make you get medical procedures, Girl? Come on, Tyra. Bitch, are you cool? And it's like one thing for it to have been something that happened on the show. And it's just wild on the show and was wrong. It's worse that you are in your big age, A, trying to sell us ice cream. That's hot. And B, coming onto this fucking program him willfully.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

And deflecting at every single thing that they ask you that makes you look like the person that you are. Which is horrible.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Danielle said that after she won, she could barely get any work. Nobody was supporting her. Like, they were basically like, we're not giving you no work because you come from Top Model. You're not trying to have no reality show do this. Then she says that Tyra Banks on a phone call some 15, however many years, 20 years later was just like, I knew that was gonna happen and I did nothing about it.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah. You know, the fashion world didn't take reality TV seriously. The whole point of this is exploitation. The entire point of reality TV is to exploit people who choose to be on that program. That is. That's literally what you do.

[Kid Fury]

It's one thing to be like Natalie Nunn. It's wild that I feel like Tyra is worse. It's one thing that he had done and be like, she is worse. Okay. Come here and beat each other up. And then, you know, God bless you on the other side. Like, those girls know that they are going to go there and be harmed by one another. And they are not promised this, like grand career in their dream and within their passion. These girls are problems that they're gonna be covergirls and high fashion models and supermodels and shit. They could not get any work. You knew that. You ain't give a fuck. Let's talk about Tiffany and how they're saying. Even Jay said that they edited out a lot of what you said to that girl when you were hollering her. And Danielle just. I mean, Tiffany just got on the Internet I saw today, and was dragging her ass backwards and forwards. And she also said that you were talking to her like a dog and they did not keep that shit in the full edit and that you were talking about her making all kinds of below the belt personal comments. You are a nasty, nasty individual. And it is clear that you can't by the fact that you came on this fucking documentary, didn't take accountability for shit, didn't acknowledge shit, make excuses backwards and forwards. And they're talking about we'll see you for cycle 25. No, you won't, madam. We didn't even see you for cycle 24, man. Are you not. Do you don't remember that they replaced your ass with Taiki Waititi's husband?

[Kim Fields]

I mean, why y' all brought Rita Ora out of nowhere? You thought we was gonna look at that child? No. And okay, no, go ahead.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, Kenmock, you also step up.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, yeah, you will look at this.

[Kid Fury]

Cause you were also making all kinds of wide, wild ass. Like everything was just. Well, it made for great tv. Good or bad? It was good tv. That's all y' all cared about was this whack ass. Yep, that's all y' all cared about was this wack ass TV show. White lady from upn. You step up to the front, too. You step up to the front as well. Talking about UPN didn't have nothing to lose but everything to gain off of black backs. Yep, of course, of course. And then immediately we saw her ass about three times. And they kept a cut of her getting up out her seat and walking away as they were talking about UPN walking away from him. Cause y' all and the CU say CW buying it or whatever, both y'.

[Kim Fields]

All.

[Kid Fury]

And. And I know there are plenty of other people who involved in production of this show who involved themselves encouraged, you know, this bullshit. But for the two of y' all bitches who came and sat here making excuses, just, oh, well, the TV show. The TV show. It's very clear that Tyra Banks just wanted her own piece of something that was allegedly fashion where she could also then, like, haze these young girls.

[Kim Fields]

Right? Yep. That's exactly what she wanted.

[Kid Fury]

You and that ring the alarm, trench coat can get the fuck out my goddamn face. And you have a lot of living nerve coming on here, doing these fake ass grins, acting like you never did nothing to nobody. Bitch, you are psycho. And that's coming from someone who has bid in the bin. You need to go back to Australia or wherever the fuck it is that you're trying to sell people fake cold stone. And never open your mouth up about modeling our fashion again. Please don't. Please don't.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah,

[Kid Fury]

Pam Bondi, Pamela Joe Bondi, you step up to the front. Speaking of wasting time, why did you even go down to that congressional hearing? You are the Attorney General. You are the head of the Department of Justice. They're here talking to you about people who are in these files over and over and over again in these Epstein files who are just walking around titty wagging. Just do whatever they fuck they want to. Just playing golf and smoking cigars, not giving a fuck, because who the fuck. And they sent your ragged Republican Floridian swamp ass to the motherfucking. Sit in this place and basically play a political game of, I know you are, but what am I? This bitch literally thought she was Gretchen Wieners. Down to the program being like, well, let's talk about this convicted felon in your state. Yes, convicted. He in jail. Let's talk about your bitches that are not. And let's talk about this stringy bleached hair while we're at it. I'm sick of you screaming over everybody like, this bitch was on. Watch what happens live. Oh, do you think you on Bravo?

[Kim Fields]

I couldn't believe that shit.

[Kid Fury]

A circus. Just a circus. Just fuckery, fuckery.

[Kim Fields]

You right.

[Kid Fury]

Just a glaring example. Just a wide open, bright, middle of the day exhibit on this joke of an administration. These bitches sent Kim Zolciak to go down there and talk about Epstein files, please. I mean, to not talk about that, right? I could not believe I was watching that shit. No. I was like, I guess I. I guess I should just go watch Zeus. What's the difference?

[Kim Fields]

Am I out of my mind, right? Yeah. Oh, boy.

[Kid Fury]

You are a rabid fucking maniac. You Tyra Hot ice cream Ken Mock. Oh, my God, Ms. J. Did you watch it?

[Kim Fields]

I haven't finished it, but I know about Ms. J having cancer.

[Kid Fury]

I. A stroke. I.

[Kim Fields]

A stroke.

[Kid Fury]

Sorry, What? Like, I cried.

[Kim Fields]

Oh.

[Kid Fury]

Because there's a part at the end where. Where Ms. J, Mr. J and Nigel.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Like, all sit together. And Ms. J, who's still not walking, they saw him and just got emotional really, really quickly because they were just like, oh, it's so good to see you. You're talking so much better. And it's very clear that, like, it fucked with his mental health and stuff. He's just really down about it, obviously, for obvious reasons. Baby, when they were loving on him and he broke down crying, I too broke down.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

And thinking about the fact that those three individuals were just thrown out into. You know what I'm saying? Into the ether. When that thing got picked up and Tyra was sitting in her face, like, I think they still believe that it was from me and it didn't come from the network, girl. Why wouldn't they believe that it came from me? Even if it did come from the network, of course they gonna believe it came from you, girl. You terrorized all of them. People

[Kim Fields]

and when you're the executive producer, the buck stops with you. Like that whole production thing, I can't speak on that because I wasn't involved. Like, girl, nobody's saying the EP is first. Like, the first one who needs to show up every morning. And you know, you not warming up the cameras or nothing, but you absolutely can speak on the decisions that production made. You are the executive producer. Who the fuck can speak on it if not you, girl?

[Kid Fury]

You're the ep, you're the creator, and you're the host, right? There isn't anything that's coming into this edit that you don't see, don't get into, do not approve of.

[Kim Fields]

Right?

[Kid Fury]

Why do you think all them goddamn photo shoots were so fucking psychotic and deadly? You, the girls, you and Ken, and all the story editors.

[Kim Fields]

Them pictures were insane. They couldn't even take them pictures nowhere.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, and why would you want to when they was dressing you up as an elephant after calling you fat for however many weeks? Or having you dress up, or you as a. A gunshot victim when your mother was literally paralyzed from a shooting? And they know that these people are disgusting.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

And you talking about a cycle 25, bitch. You better ride a cycle back to P. Sherman Wallaby Way 60.

[Kim Fields]

You and your warm ice cream. The worst idea I've ever heard. Tyra.

[Kid Fury]

This last but not least. Yeah, this one's a nerdy one. This one makes me feel a little bit lighter. One Piece Liveaction Season 2 is headed to Netflix, like, next month. The girly's got a trailer. The trailer is adorable. The trailer finally showcases the character named Chopper. Chopper is a cute. I'm gonna try to do this really, really quickly. Chopper is a cute little typical anime character. He's a cute little reindeer thing, and he can transform into all other kinds of reindeer superpowers depending on his thing, right? Really cute. Recurring joke in the manga and in the anime and stuff is that a lot of people call him something besides a reindeer. And it gets on his nerves. Even his own homies, his other straw. Straw hat, pirate homies. We'll call him like a raccoon or a dog or something like that. And he's like, I'm not a raccoon. It's like a running joke. In this trailer, a teaser of the trailer, the lead character, Luffy, I guess, sees Chopper for the first time. I guess it's after he comes out like a hot spring or a shower, because the actor is in, like, a towel. A couple of the actors are in towels in that scene. And the lead has, like a great body. Like, I guess they weren't prepared for his abs and muscles and stuff and being glistening, I guess. So this is the shot where he finally sees Chopper and he's like, what are you? What's your name? And Chopper, who's usually shy and doesn't like attention, is like, hiding somewhere so adorable. The comments on that little clip that. From the trailer that Netflix, for whatever reason, decided to put on the. On the fucking Instagram page. These comments were just lusting after him, after the actor.

[Kim Fields]

Oh.

[Kid Fury]

Which I even commented and I said, I think it is so funny that we have been waiting 84 years like Titanic to see Chopper finally in this live action. And now we're seeing him. And y' all are just like, that's fine.

[Kim Fields]

Look how y' all act.

[Kid Fury]

Let's talk about this young man's abs. So this one girl, black girl, left a comment that was like. It literally made me scream. She said, ain't nobody looking at that damn rabbit. I hollered, because if you watch One Piece, you know that that is a running joke. On top of the fact that she said, ain't nobody looking at that damn rabbit. It made me holler. Now here's the read. It was far too many of y' all because obviously that comment got like a lot of likes. It was up at the top of the shift. Oh, yeah. There's far too many of y' all being like, ugh, he's not a. Excuse me, he's a raccoon. Oda would be so disgusting because he did all of this work and you don't even know that he's a raccoon. Bitch, what are you talking about? Are y' all cool? Like, I actually jumped into them comments and said, leave this bitch alone. You wrong. Have you watched One Piece?

[Kim Fields]

And that's a very common Internet joke. Like, it's a very common. Like somebody find posts something like, girl, ain't nobody looking at that bunny. Or whatever. Like, that's very common. It's what people say when you're super fine. Like, pretend like it's something else in the picture.

[Kid Fury]

But it was that as well as an in house joke that would. I literally was like, Chopper would scream, I'm not a rabbit. Like, she was making two jokes. And the fact that. That y' all alleged to be like, Die Hard.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah.

[Kid Fury]

One Piece fans that tried to come at this girl talking about, he's not a rabbit. Bitch, shut your ass up. Talk about what the creator would think. The creator would be laughing in your Goddamn face if not spitting at your shoes because how did you miss the fucking joke? Now I'm finished. Woo. I made it.

[Kim Fields]

Amen. Well, I am Tyra Banks and that

[Kid Fury]

man should be tarred and. And fat.

[Kim Fields]

They're not seeing the the kingdom of heaven for the shit they put them girls through, and they know that. So I am actually going to pass my read this week. Pass the read like we used to. I had a feeling we would be talking about the Top Model thing, so I just wanted to add in one more quick little message. This one comes from Nyland, who says, hey, Crystal and West. I almost forgot about that.

[Kid Fury]

That's funny.

[Kim Fields]

I was a bit behind on the show and just now heard Crystal talking about the Beckham mess and I need to give Brooklyn's wife her lashings. Crystal, I don't expect you to know. Oh, Beckham, Beckham, Beckham. Yeah, Crystal, girl, that shit is a mess, apparently. So I don't expect you to know who she is. But Kid Fury, I just want to let you know that Brooklyn's wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, is none other than the little white bitch who begged her daddy to force M. Night Shyamalan to cast her as White Katara in the infamous the Last Airbender movie. So as far as I'm concerned, anybody on her side is automatically wrong. Brooklyn, I'm sorry I had to be you, but if this is how the universe or someone God is finally getting a look back for the atrocities we were forced to endure on her behalf,

[Kid Fury]

then no, I did not know that. I would have. Girl, if we all erased that movie from our minds. I just. Just don't.

[Kim Fields]

I. I hope.

[Kid Fury]

And obviously I didn't look at it more than once. Holy.

[Kim Fields]

I hope co the face stealer steals her face that never uses it. I hope the spirit vines follow her wherever she might lay her head and invade her space like she invaded the water tribe with her fellow Yakubian devils.

[Kid Fury]

This is so hilarious.

[Kim Fields]

I pray her Diet Cokes.

[Kid Fury]

Other side of a nerdy thing, right?

[Kim Fields]

This is great that they are always. And her guts are always bubbled. The war between her and good goddamn sense is the only war publicly recognized in Ba Sing Se. I was gonna say Stevie Wonder could see that was a hot mess. I'm convinced he not really blonde in the first place. So tough will have to do. Stop that. Stevie Wonder is blind. But anyway, Boo. Boo. That white woman, she gonna get to them pearly gates one day and she's gonna have to answer to Prince Paul and Peter for her Crimes. And let me let you in on a little secret. She's not getting in. So if Victoria was doing all that on their wedding day, well, it's not in me to defend a rich white British family, so I won't be doing that. Because Victoria knows she a damn fool. But a good deed cannot go unnoticed. May she continue to do the good Lord's work.

[Kid Fury]

What a sick individual.

[Kim Fields]

Before I forget, fuck Jackson Rathbone for playing white soca and that Confederate soldier vampire.

[Kid Fury]

Yeah, that movie was all in the same year.

[Kim Fields]

May your future roles continue to be so insignificant that they don't even have a Wikipedia Flameo Flamio. That's how they signed it off. I don't know what that is. You've out nerded me so. Sincerely, I guess. Nylon. Nylon.

[Kid Fury]

That is one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life.

[Kim Fields]

So, yeah, apparently Brooke Lynn's wife is white. Katara, I don't. I don't understand. I didn't understand any of this, but I think.

[Kid Fury]

I think you would actually really like the Last Airbender.

[Kim Fields]

You keep saying that. I tried.

[Kid Fury]

I think you will actually like it.

[Kim Fields]

You said that about Sailor Moon and you remember? I tried. And then I just had so many criticisms. You were like, leave my show alone.

[Kid Fury]

I was wrong on that one. That was one I just grew up on.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah. Terry wants me to watch that too. And I'm like, I'm gonna try. I tried. I just.

[Kid Fury]

I don't know. It's very sweet. It is very. It's like Steven Universe with socio political elements and a very adorable child with powers greater than.

[Kim Fields]

He even understands more socio political elements because Steven Universe is already pretty.

[Kid Fury]

You know what? When you're right, you're right.

[Kim Fields]

I'm rewatching it now.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, God. I have the whole thing.

[Kim Fields]

It's so good.

[Kid Fury]

Oh, the Blu Ray box set.

[Kim Fields]

Did you see they're putting the score on vinyl? The score from the. No, I did see that and I won't get that. I said, yeah, let me go and get that. Um.

[Kid Fury]

Wow, that was.

[Kim Fields]

Thanks, Nylan. That was treacherous for sending that in. I did not know all that about Brooklyn's wife, I guess.

[Kid Fury]

Richard, I would have never.

[Kim Fields]

But yeah, well, yeah.

[Kid Fury]

Is she British? She's from New York.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah. No, but the family. The Beckhams are British.

[Kid Fury]

I know that.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, well. So that's what Nylan was talking about. Not gonna defend Victoria, but. But anybody who lashes this Nicola girl is on the right side of history. As far as y' all are concerned for what she did to the last Airbender. And I'm just gonna let you nerf it.

[Kid Fury]

She didn't do shit but wanna be in it. This is M. Night Shya. That was M. Night Shyamalan's fault. He directed it. He wrote it.

[Kim Fields]

Oh, I didn't know he wrote it.

[Kid Fury]

Everyone who produced hell Nickelodeon for allowing it. Paramount, like that was a failure that was far bigger than Glenn Beckham's wife's.

[Kim Fields]

Yeah, well, thank you, Nylan, for your past the read.

You tell yourself no one wants your college era band tees, but on Depop, people are searching for exactly what you've got. You once paid a small fortune for

[Kim Fields]

them at merch stands.

[Kid Fury]

Now a teenager who calls them vintage will offer that same small fortune back. Sell them easily on Depop, just snap

[Kim Fields]
