Kid Fury
American Idol season premiere Monday, 8, 7 Central on ABC and stream on Hulu. Woo. 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. Cause 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. Zesprite, zero sugar. Obey your thirst. Dad. I've always wanted to say that. Beast. How dare you. I let you into my home.
Crissle West
I will never get old.
Kid Fury
It just comes to me every now and then. It's like, oh my God, that was just so dramatic. It was so passionate. But it's also like she's a soap star. So it was that too.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
Oh, classic. Great stuffs. Hello everyone. I am Eric and Sinclair.
Crissle West
And I am Eartha Kitt. And this is the read. Thank you for joining us.
Kid Fury
Compromise.
Crissle West
Compromise.
Kid Fury
Stupid. She called that bit as stupid to his face.
Crissle West
To his face. And she looked disgusted at the very idea. She was just.
Kid Fury
She was like, first of all, I'm earthy kid. Secondly, I'm big grown.
Crissle West
Why would a man be there?
Kid Fury
Are you stupid? Bitch me girl, if you don't shut the fuck up.
Crissle West
What an icon, man. Rest in peace.
Kid Fury
All right, girls, guys and Bs and all of you pets in the room who have to put up with us as well. Let's get things started with some black excellence this week. Black excellence is going to. Dr. Gladys west recently passed away at the age of 95. Dr. Gladys west is a very famous pioneer in mathematics. She went to Virginia State College in the 30s. Now Virginia State University, obviously. She got a bachelor's and master's in mathematics. Uh, she was hired at the Naval Service Warfare center in Virginia and in the 1970s and 80s was creating accurate models of the earth's shape that was based on satellite data. And this was basically the groundwork for what is now known as Global Positioning Systems.
Crissle West
Incredible.
Kid Fury
Or GPS for short. So this beautiful black goddess. Yeah. Is the reason that you know how to get to trade house. That aircrafts know where they at, that emergency services can get to that burning building or whatever.
Crissle West
Yeah. That any of us can get around. It's her.
Kid Fury
That any of us know where we going.
Crissle West
Right. And then we don't. We don't have to use MapQuest.
Kid Fury
Exactly. And MapQuest too.
Crissle West
You just have to print out 20 pages of directions before you left the house, baby.
Kid Fury
Amand.
Crissle West
Yes. And she went to OU. So just. What an icon. And I hope you take your rest and, you know, job well done and all of that. What a legend.
Kid Fury
Yeah. I'm also going to give a little honor to the LSU Tigers. Not an all black dance group, but they represent Louisiana State University. And I just saw a video of their contributions to the UDA Nationals. So they did a hip hop performance of like, it was like a medley from Kendrick Lamar super bowl performance. Oh, incredible choreography, incredible costumes. They did a jazz performance to Oops I Did it Again by Britney Spears. And their outfits were like the. Remember she did that like nude outfit VMAs. And everybody was acting like she did porn.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
And then her outfits looked like they were responding, like they were representing that.
Crissle West
Okay.
Kid Fury
Also incredible choreography. The lines, the synchronicity. Oh, I love crisp. I think that they placed second, so I would love to know who beat them. But, you know, from the comments I saw, everyone was like, robbed first in my heart, so on and so forth. I. I just wanted to give them a shout out because I love dance and y' all ate this up. The crowd was like, like jumping up and down.
Crissle West
Right.
Kid Fury
Like they were having a really good time. So shout out to you. Shout outs of Louisiana and all of the thing.
Crissle West
I gotta go check that out now.
Kid Fury
This week in a pop culture segment that we call Hot Tops. This is a show. Like, I don't even really care about a lot of this stuff. And it's. A lot of it is like super random, but let's just get. Get into it, okay? Cat Williams is still trolling Steve Harvey. He hates this. He posted a video clip of this little baby, Cute little baby boy who's I guess, getting ready for band. Get ready for bed. He's got on his pidgeys. That's what my parents call pajamas.
Crissle West
That's so cute.
Kid Fury
And his mom was like, wait, what did she say? Hold on, I want to know how she wearing a Dick, I have a question.
Crissle West
What is it? Who killed Martin Luther King Jr. Steve Harvey. Why?
Kid Fury
Okay, thanks for the information. His mama said. Wow. Okay, thanks for that information.
Crissle West
It's the hairline. It throws children off. They don't know what they looking at. Steve Hart, like, why would you say that? Right? Why would you? Kids are so fucking crazy. Why? How did Katwe. Oh, no, it must have been trending or something on TikTok.
Kid Fury
Okay, yeah, it must have been some meme that he seen. Or maybe someone sent it to him, to be honest with you. Like, oh, look at this thing about this nigga you were making fun of, right? And for whatever reason, he decided to post it. So of course it's unnecessary and petty, but the Cat Williams of it, for me, is not the story. The story is this adorable little boy, for whatever reason, is draped into this conspiracy that it was all Steve Harvey's fault.
Crissle West
I mean, I know Steve Harvey is like a grown man, old nigga, but not that old. Like.
Kid Fury
He must have watched you guys. Sir.
Crissle West
I know he was like, excuse the fuck out of me. Since when, bitch? Like, yeah, I mean, and I would love to know how that child decided in his mind that Steve Harvey did it. Like, I just want to know what he heard that then in his brain turned into. Steve Harvey, committed this assassination. But okay.
Kid Fury
All right. Rihanna was recently spotted leaving the Four Seasons Hotel when her bodyguard, for whatever reason, allowed the door to the hotel. Smack her upside her damn wig as she was walking out. And she was recorded saying, oh, such a gentleman you are, before he let her in the car. Baby. The next day that she walked out of that same establishment, not one, but two.
Crissle West
There we go.
Kid Fury
Grown men were holding those doors open for her.
Crissle West
What was he even going through? Like, nigga, were you thinking like, you. Did you forget you had a job? What are you doing?
Kid Fury
I'm walking out of the dentist and I hold the door open for whoever's right, right?
Crissle West
Gentlemen or not, you're the bodyguard. I don't know why you would. I don't know why you wouldn't hold the door open for her like a stranger would. Right? It's strange. It's very weird.
Kid Fury
That is weird.
Crissle West
Was the same bodyguard there? Or was she like, you know, your service is. Actually.
Kid Fury
I actually didn't even notice if he was one of the bodyguards that stayed in the room.
Crissle West
You might never see that man again.
Kid Fury
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we never see that man again. If no one is strange.
Crissle West
Oh, okay. Well, that's a step too far. Do what's weird?
Kid Fury
And somebody even made a compilation of a few times that people have let this happen to Rihanna. Like, I was shocked. Someone was like, this isn't the first time Rihanna's been hit by a door. And they proceeded to post like 4 different clips where this has happened.
Crissle West
Okay, well, the Internet never rests, so. Okay, sure.
Kid Fury
Wow. What is would so chivalry just okay?
Crissle West
Is it? I mean, I don't know. I don't even know what to say. I don't even know what to make of that. It's just. What a strange fact.
Kid Fury
I'm just finished, I guess. I don't really know. Yeah, this one was interesting. Tashina Arnold was on a podcast, Deion Cole. And she talked about the one and only time that she dated a white man. And it was this man named Brian Austin Green.
Crissle West
What?
Kid Fury
Apparently famous.
Crissle West
You don't know who Brian Austin Green is?
Kid Fury
Promising baby girl. No clue.
Crissle West
He was on one of them white shows.
Kid Fury
I googled. He was on Beverly Hills.
Crissle West
Yes, that's the one.
Kid Fury
I never watched it. That's the one that explains it.
Crissle West
I just know his name because the white girls I went to school with were obsessed with him.
Kid Fury
I didn't even recognize the name. I looked at the picture, I was like, I do not know who this white man is. I looked up old pictures of him. Like when. What she's saying when they dated was like the prime of Martin.
Crissle West
Wow.
Kid Fury
She's always been beautiful. So someone wanted to date her. It's not surprising. And then I looked at pictures of him, like, I guess around the same time was like, oh yeah, this is a good looking white man.
Crissle West
Yeah. Oh yeah, he was very cute.
Kid Fury
In the 90s, Tichina said that she essentially stopped dating him. She broke up with him. Cause she, she said, I notice that you are running around with a lot of sisters, but you're not going to marry one. Like, you're not. Oh, and this isn't really going anywhere. Like, I know ultimately you're going to choose a life with a white woman. And I.
Crissle West
Well, well. And that's exactly.
Kid Fury
Brian Austin Green then went on to marry Megan Fox. He is now engaged to another white woman. Oh, like, so there we go.
Crissle West
Correct. She wasn't wrong about that.
Kid Fury
Like, no. And then she went on to be like, I just like black men. I. I just do. I like, yeah, brothers. But it was cute for the time. And he was, she had no complaints about him either. She was like, he was nice, but she was, it was, I guess, Justin Timberlake.
Crissle West
Yeah, that's Just like you having your negro phase right now. I know what this. No. And you are not for real about us. Right. You are not for real about us. Wow. Look at what people could get away with before social media and. And camera phones, smartphones with fucking cameras and Internet and all other type of shit on it. Because we would have never known this.
Kid Fury
Like, true.
Crissle West
Never. We would have never known this had she not told us. But. Okay. I mean, I bet that was hilarious. I bet Dion Cole was cutting up when he heard that.
Kid Fury
He was just kind of giving her the pour. But it was. I was like, huh.
Crissle West
Yeah. I do actually see it. I can picture that. And I can picture her being like, you are just having your moment, and you are not for real. So I'm gonna move on.
Kid Fury
I'm done, Right? Yeah. Work. I loved hearing.
Crissle West
Very valid.
Kid Fury
Kevin Gates is currently dating a woman named Jeleni Tejada. Or maybe Tejada. I'm assuming that H. That J is pronounced like an H. For some reason. They were doing an interview on no Jumper. I don't even know who the fuck these people are, but they're, I guess, talking about their relationship. And Kevin was saying, like, when he first met her, she was kind of a tomboy, and he was trying to, like, do this weird dance, and she just kind of came out and was like, I was gay. Like, I was fully gay, and he basically turned me straight. And then they all started laughing, and he was like, I didn't want to say it, but, like, sure. And so then they're sitting across the two from, like, these two other people. Like, maybe they're the hosts of the podcast or something. And the guy turns to the girl sitting next to him, not Kevin Gates, girlfriend, since Turns to girl next to him and is like, have you. Are you like, do you mess with girls or you whatever. Like, she's not. She didn't say nothing.
Crissle West
Okay.
Kid Fury
And she was like, no, I'm just straight. And then, like, two beats later, she's like, are you. To the guy who asked her, oh, like, do you mess around with guy? And he was like, no. He almost looked like, how dare you? Of course she was like, well, you asked me, so I just like, I love.
Crissle West
That's iconic.
Kid Fury
Yeah, I love that response. So. But so do that to women all the time. You ask me if I'm bisexual. Why can't I see?
Crissle West
Literally? And why would you be offended? If you're offended, then maybe you shouldn't be asking people that shit. Thank you, weird nigger. Why are you eating?
Kid Fury
You Weird bitch. He's not a nigga.
Crissle West
But you go, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kid Fury
But yeah. As far as the lesbian who's not a lesbian anymore. And chose. Chose this path in life through Kevin Goatson.
Crissle West
I don't get that.
Kid Fury
But okay. I just will Aaron Pierre being like, put the strap down skeptic being like, let's have a conversation. You feel me?
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
Who also is an attractive brother.
Crissle West
I mean, there are so many. But this one fucked his cousin.
Kid Fury
And is.
Crissle West
And I just won't be able to get. I feel like I can't get over that. And I know it was like, you know, they have like a great grand grandparent or great great, grand or something like that. It's not like, you know, our parents were siblings. Right. It's not like that. But it's still like your family member. I mean, it's just. It's just a little weird to me. I don't think I could knowingly smash somebody that I and blood related to. Like, it just feels like once I find out we share an ancestor, it's just. I'm sorry. It's just a little weird for your girl. But, you know, shout out to Jeleny. She decided the Willa Willa community had had enough. She had did enough of that, and she's ready to do something different. And hey, you know what? That is your right and your life. You do whatever feels right to you.
Kid Fury
I agree.
Crissle West
Go for it.
Kid Fury
Go for it. And I'm also not completely, like, unaware that, you know, this kind of thing happens. I'm just like, Kevin Gates was the one who opened your eyes.
Crissle West
I mean, she could also be bisexual or, you know, queer or whatever. Doesn't have to be an exclusive thing. But yeah, it's the Kevin Gates of it all for me. Cause I just of all n. Like.
Kid Fury
This ugly, that focus, cussing. And then.
Crissle West
Of all the men in this club. Cause it's just, you know, and I'm like, Kofi Sierra. Bo's right there. Like, right?
Kid Fury
Lance. Gross.
Crissle West
Let me tell you something. If I was gonna step out and see what was going on on that side of things, it would not be Kevin Gates. Of all niggas, like, she's a beautiful girl.
Kid Fury
She. That's my. Y' all be fine. Like, y' all be fine. Hey, your nigga look like the dog's ass.
Crissle West
Yeah. With face tattoos and all. Like, okay.
Kid Fury
And is not nice to you. Like, I don't. Aoki Lee Simmons has moved to Bali. She says she's not coming back. She out there with her Daddy, she says she's never returned to the US What? She's also said that, you know, she's out there where she could wear backless sundresses every day and no shoes. I am steady praying for that young lady's spirit. Imagine. Yeah, I'm assuming that she is over it. I'm assuming that she tired of people talking about how she dated that old ass, nasty ass white man that was acquaintances with her mama.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
And so she decided to move out where her daddy at and leave her alone about it. She not coming back.
Crissle West
Okay, Aoki? I mean, this is a young woman.
Kid Fury
Just very, very young. So, yeah, I am like, I can't even imagine. So, you know.
Crissle West
You know, I feel for Kahmora because I just. My. My heart would be shredded that my child chose to like backless dresses and barefoot. You can do that in la. You can do that in Hawaii. You can live in Arizona. You can live in New Mexico.
Kid Fury
You can go to Mexico.
Crissle West
Right. Like you.
Kid Fury
The Caribbean.
Crissle West
You don't have to go to.
Kid Fury
She clearly wants to be with her.
Crissle West
Right, Right. Despite it all.
Kid Fury
Despite it all, I agree with you. Like, Kahmora, knowing what she knows.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
Still having beef with this nigga who continues to antagonize her even though he dead ass wrong.
Crissle West
Right.
Kid Fury
And then. Yeah, I do. I feel for her too. Cause it's like, what? My kids are adults now, basically.
Crissle West
Yeah. You can't stop her. She's 23, so you cannot stop her. Yeah.
Kid Fury
No shoes. No shoes.
Crissle West
That, you know, the bohemian girls are like, shoes keep you disconnected from the earth.
Kid Fury
They do say that.
Crissle West
They do say that.
Kid Fury
They do say that. They do say that. Hey, you know something? I buy that.
Crissle West
Yeah. Yeah. I just don't need to go, you know, I don't need to go outside and like, do things barefoot is all I'm saying. Like, I don't need to be able to.
Kid Fury
Right.
Crissle West
Traverse the city barefoot. Like, I'm fine. I will find a patch of grass.
Kid Fury
45 minute to 60 minute meditating in the grass. And we are.
Crissle West
Right. Like, I could go to Central park and just like, ooh, trees.
Kid Fury
Look at all in my witchy era. I get it. You know, and that can be a ritual, but just I get to walk around in a backless dress and no shoes all day.
Crissle West
I just. That's why the girls live in la.
Kid Fury
Poison oak, Right. Sticks stones, Right, Right.
Crissle West
There's just a lot of options for that, baby girl. But we. I think we all know what you're doing, and the adults are just wishing you the very best on. On whatever journey it is you own, because I'm a little afraid for you to be completely honest.
Kid Fury
Yeah, auntie, we care. I skipped over one real quick. Where did she go? Let's just talk about this dumbass. So Nicki Minaj is now trying to harass Don Lemon.
Crissle West
I'm so glad you brought that up.
Kid Fury
I'm so tired of this fucking id.
Crissle West
Oh, my God.
Kid Fury
Don Lemon's been in Minnesota covering the anti ice protests and things of that nature. People are now calling for him to basically be burned at the stake because they're accusing him of, like, storming inside of a church and, I don't know, lighting it on fire like sinners or some shit. It's just bullshit that don't make no damn sense. Right. And so Nicki Minaj tweeted, don Cock sucking Lemon is disgusting. How dare you. I want that thug in jail. He would never do that to any other religion. Lock him up. Donald Trump then hopped on his app Licentral or li. Social, whatever the fuck this shit is called, and then echoed the statement almost immediately.
Crissle West
Of course he did. Because this was coordinated.
Kid Fury
Exactly. You know what? I'm good. I love. Like, I've said it all. I feel like I've said it all. I. I completely tossing away your legacy for, you know, for the A journey into licking the Doc Martens of all of these white people who couldn't give two living fucks about you or your Trinidadian implants. Nobody. Like, how did this work out for Stacey Dash? How did this work out for Candace Owens? How did this work out for Chrisette Michelle? What the fuck do you think? Like, have at it. I really. Sure, sure. There's so many other options in terms of entertaining female rap these days, girl. And also, I don't ever have to listen to a fucking music again. I don't think that she like as much as I love so much of it and have been ready to separate my love from the music, from you just kind of being a hot mess on Twitter and posting dumbass AI photos of yourself and whatever else. I never have to hear you, your voice or anything to do with you again. And it is preposterous for you to suggest anybody is a thug that should go to jail when you're married to one. Like, and we're gonna echo this for as long as it is relevant.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
Even though you hate it.
Crissle West
Yep.
Kid Fury
Throw who in jail? Throw who in jail? Your husband's a rapist.
Crissle West
Your brother.
Kid Fury
Your brother's a rapist. You're Here. Undocumented.
Crissle West
Oop. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Uh. Oh. You.
Kid Fury
You shouldn't even spell the word jail. Are you a fucking idiot?
Crissle West
Not to mention you and every last one of your fans are also cocksuckers. I'm not sure why you thought that was, like, the suck and all of them young homosexuals who are obsessed with you do the same thing. It's. I don't know why you said that. It's just the random homophobia is just so weird. Have you forgotten? Do you think your fans are straight? Like, do you. I'm just so confused by this. Do you not suck dick you actually brag about? Okay, you know what? All right. Because you. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. I don't. I saw Don Lemon. I actually saw Don Lemon's response to this before I saw what she said in the first place. Which just goes to show how little the people I follow are giving a fuck about Nicki Minaj these days. Because truly, it has to get to this where whoever she's talking about responds. Otherwise, niggas just ignore her. Because what the fuck are you even over there talking about? Why don't you go back and review them AMEX statements again and make sure that that's felon rapist nigga that you married to is not charging random shit to your car, paying hoes rent, and whatever the fuck else. Why don't you worry about yourself and what you got going on over there with your family and your home?
Kid Fury
She doesn't want to. That's why she wasting all her time.
Crissle West
Okay? It's just.
Kid Fury
You're not even sick and shut in no more. You just shut out like the day closed. I don't give a fuck about you. Oh, that's like. I don't give a living fuck about you or anything that you got going on. Never will. And when all of that shit blows up in your face and these bitches are tired of playing with your ass. Stay over there. This is the type of shit where only people who will be left to book you are the girlies producing pride, right? Black pride specifically. And you over here talking about, well, boys should be boys, girls should be girls. You suck cock and own them is dead. You had your dumb ass. Like, anything that you're outputting right now is worth any value anyway. Like, you hitting on anything, Girl, you're a fucking joke and you sound dumb as shit.
Crissle West
Well, you act like Don Lemon went up in that church talking about death to Christians. Kill all Christians. Christians are hell. Like, Don Lemon is live streaming the. The protests and the demonstrations that are happening or that were happening in St. Paul because of what happened with that lady Renee Goode, who was shot and killed by ice. And so demonstrators had interrupted Sunday service to protest ICE being there. Don Lemon, who is a journalist, which is a job and I know your man don't know nothing about that, but sometimes people do things with their lives called careers. Don Lemon live streamed what was going on inside the church as the demonstration was happening. You decided to frame that as if Don Lemon was attacking Christians and all this. He would never do this to any other religion. He wouldn't report on what's going on after the federal government killed an innocent citizen. Are you sure? Because that's all. Trying to turn this into Christian persecution is just like that thing in Nigeria where it's like I. I know for a fact fact the Trump administration, somebody associated with it had you tweet about this so that Trump could then co sign it and then whatever. What? Whatever big perpetuate this idea that Christians are under attack. And. And our administration won't tolerate Christians not being allowed to peace. What Christians are allowed to do, baby in this country any where half of our federal holiday. All of the Christian holidays are federal holidays. Please be for real.
Kid Fury
There is like no separation.
Crissle West
I don't. Right. I literally don't want to hear it. Shut the fuck up.
Kid Fury
Furthermore, Nicholas, let's talk about St. Peter and his clipboard.
Crissle West
That nigga got a list who all on it.
Kid Fury
Now when you get up to the gate, you think that any of this is helping them open up. You think they're not gonna. Girl, I'm finna. I don't even have anything else to say. What an idiot.
Crissle West
If your God is on Trump's side, then we just don't have the same God. And that's all there is to that. It's really. That is the long and the short of it. She's weird.
Kid Fury
I believe that American Idol can change my life for the better. ABC Monday American Idol is back. Why are you so emotional?
Crissle West
I didn't think I'd ever get to be somewhere like this.
Kid Fury
Where your vote turns dreamers. You ready for it? You're going to Hollywood League into idols.
Crissle West
There it is.
Kid Fury
The golden ticket. You are inspiring.
Crissle West
You're pretty incredible.
Kid Fury
American Idol season premiere Monday 8, 7 Central on ABC and stream on Hulu Woo. 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. Cause 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. Speaking of weird, who are these light skinned people getting divorced? Have you ever heard of them?
Crissle West
So yes, I did see one of their videos A couple years ago somebody tagged me in her. She was trying on shoes at like Walmart or Target or something and she was just being so ridiculous. Like I get. And that's. I guess that's her shtick is that she does all kinds of dance moves and like acrobatics and stuff in different shoes. I don't know. As soon as I see couples content I my brain switches off, baby, I do not care. Plus I look like brother and sister. So I extra hella wasn't interested. But them getting divorced has been all over my shit. All over it.
Kid Fury
Mine too.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
When I tell you did not know.
Crissle West
They was that famous. Really didn't.
Kid Fury
The first time that I heard about them was in a business meeting. I was in a meeting and someone referred to me as like, you know, like you're one of like the OGs in the like the creating whatever thing. And you know, I'm horrible at taking compliments. So I was just kind of like. And then someone was like, you know, like right now another one of these like OG couples such. And she named them are they OG getting divorced and whatever. And I just nodded along because I didn't know who the fuck she was talking about. It's like I did not recognize their names. But I'm very accustomed at this point to being out of the loop. Yeah, I've chosen to now for a while.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
And then immediately after that all of my like for you pages, which I don't like that that's where the social media pages start. Now start with who I follow and let me go over to what I'm talking about.
Crissle West
Please, please. Because the algorithm could be doing anything.
Kid Fury
And it is, it's doing anything.
Crissle West
I did not know they were. I didn't know them by name. I just knew.
Kid Fury
I also don't know them by face. I have, I have never seen these people before. Maybe because I'm not on TikTok like that.
Crissle West
No, you would have had to say the woman who does different dance moves and flips and stuff in shoes and her husband just stares at her and look and makes crazy faces or does like really exaggerated laughs. And then I would have known. But now they. You. You could put them next to Steph and Aisha Curry and I would have a hard time. I would have a very hard time picking them light skinned people out.
Kid Fury
Steph is blonde, so that might help.
Crissle West
Is he like. No. Are you. Is Steph Curry not blonde? Since when? I thought you meant he had like dyed his hair or something. No, Steph Curry ain't blind blonde.
Kid Fury
Like he has lighter hair, lighter brown hair.
Crissle West
Yeah, yeah, but it ain't no blonde.
Kid Fury
Yeah, I just said the wrong color.
Crissle West
Okay.
Kid Fury
Yeah, I just. I was flummoxed by the amount. I mean, they're on tmz. It was like, it was like a week after they announced that they were getting divorced because he was cheating on her or whatever. Some people spotted him in the club making out with some new girl.
Crissle West
Yes.
Kid Fury
And so then that was going crazy and stuff. It was just like all over threads and I'm like, wow, okay. And I think I posted on threads, I have no idea who these divorcing light skinned people are, but y' all seem super passionate about it. So.
Crissle West
Yeah, I think they were very, very popular. You can always tell when the influence money start hitting. Cause all of a sudden they start filming in these gorgeous houses. And I don't know if that is true for them, whether they always had that house, but I know I saw a picture of her in that house afterwards and I was like, oh, yeah, the influencer money is hitting. Because that is a beautiful.
Kid Fury
You know what put me onto that specifically, like TikTok influencer money. I was watching that show the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, because when I saw it like on the main page of Hulu a couple months ago, I thought it was gonna be like a documentary that kind of really dives into the lives of Mormons. It's just Kardashians with bitches from.
Crissle West
Yes.
Kid Fury
Utah or wherever they're from.
Crissle West
Right. Not supposed to drink Coca Cola.
Kid Fury
Right. Anyway, I found out a couple episodes of that that I watched that they make bank. They were on there talking about, oh, yeah, I have to talk about this brand for 30 seconds. They're gonna pay me a hundred thousand dollars. I'm like, what?
Crissle West
Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, isn't it?
Kid Fury
They probably were.
Crissle West
There's so much space in this world to be famous, that people can be legit millionaires with millions of followers. And I have never once, like, I have no idea what it is you do.
Kid Fury
It's just never.
Crissle West
Well, incredible that the world works that way. But no, I wasn't. I don't think I saw too many videos from them. Again, I do not like couples content and I don't care who the couple is. It's corny, cheesy. I just don't find it entertaining. But yeah, they've been all over my fucking algorithm.
Kid Fury
Someone replied to my comment too and was like, oh, look at you trying to be cool, but you're still jumping on a bandwagon. There's a lot of scientific analysis here and you know, social psychology conversations that. And I said back to her. Okay, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, you have a blast today. Well, you know, I'm sure like scientific of all of the scientific things to analyze right now. It's two random niggas getting divorced. Shut your dumb ass up.
Crissle West
And you know, there like just say.
Kid Fury
You being nosy and having a good time.
Crissle West
There's that. Cause that is what the overwhelming majority of you are doing. There probably are some sociologists studying like the impact of social media based famous people. And like I'm sure somebody is studying that. But also it is all, I also don't know who they are. It is also all over my for you page on every fucking app. So if I did break down and talk about them, which I haven't, it would simply be because everybody else is doing the same thing. Like clearly these niggas are a bigger deal than I would have ever thought. And that is all that means it don't have to be no how am.
Kid Fury
I acting or trying to act cool by saying I don't know what this thing is for y' all or something.
Crissle West
Isn't that the opposite of being cool?
Kid Fury
Thank you. How's that jumping on the bandwagon? That's looking at the bandwagon. Drive away.
Crissle West
Because if anything it just makes me feel elderly. Like, well, Meemaw don't know what y' all think about.
Kid Fury
That was exactly my point. Why do you feel some type of way? Why don't you go Rachel thinks he's to leave me the fuck alone.
Crissle West
Bring me my, bring me my knee medicine too while you in here. Cause my arthritis is acting up. That's how I feel when y' all get to talking about it.
Kid Fury
Most people though that were commenting were like, yeah, I'm glad you said it. Cause I also don't know who these people are. But then a couple of people were like, I feel like at least three people responded to me and were like, all you need to know is that nigga ain't shit. And we saw this coming and like, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, well, yeah, I could have guessed that part. But, you know, thank you for at least kind of breaking this for me, because I did not even recognize. I thought that, like, okay, I don't know their name, but at least one of them. I'll be like, oh, I've seen a clip of them before or something. Don't know the name, don't know the faces. Don't know why y' all care this much. Y' all have seen this kind of carrying on.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
Before. But it's a fun thing. Everyone's miserable. You're having a good time.
Crissle West
Again, people can be extremely famous, and I just don't know who they are like that all the time. That's not shade. We simply have different timelines and I don't see the things you see. But, yeah, somebody posted a video being like, oh, I could tell in this video, he was irritated by her shenanigans. And I was like, that's where I've seen these niggas before.
Kid Fury
I hate when people do that.
Crissle West
Oh, yeah. Because, yes, she's doing a lot, but he's also doing a lot, and they're doing a lot together to get Yalls likes and comments and shares and engagement and downloads and reposts. That is the whole. They're both playing the social media game. Even now, they are still playing the social media game, and they probably will not stop, so.
Kid Fury
Well, the girl from the TMZ clip that he was making out with is a model named Marissa Springer. She, of course, had to tell her side of the story to hopefully get on the next season of Love Island. And so she said, oh, smart girl. So she got on the TikTok and was like, listen, I didn't know who that nigga was. Nothing about that. Um, we met that night. We both were drinking work that led to that. It is what it is, Margaret. I guess that meant she was like, the death threats and all of that are a bit much. Wow. I met a guy I found cute. We kissed.
Crissle West
You ain't never been drunk in the club before. Oh, okay. I can't judge. I have done that exact same thing more than once. So let me just sit over here and eat my hot Cheetos. Cause I'm. Hold on.
Kid Fury
But her caption for the TikTok says, this will be the last thing I say about the situation. Me and Desmond have to focus on our child and what the future brings us.
Crissle West
So that caption is from Christy, the wife.
Kid Fury
This is on Marissa's page.
Crissle West
That can't be. They don't have a kid. This.
Kid Fury
I'm looking at the TikTok.
Crissle West
Maybe somebody reposted it. Maybe that's not her original account. Cause that don't make sense. How y' all just met that night, but y' all have a kid. Well, that doesn't make sense.
Kid Fury
This will be the last thing I say about this situation. This is her page.
Crissle West
I. I cannot. That. I cannot. I don't know what happened there, but I.
Kid Fury
You and Desmond have a child?
Crissle West
You and Desmond have a child?
Kid Fury
She said, okay.
Crissle West
Oh, wait, so somebody asked her, you and Desmond have a child?
Kid Fury
In these comments, someone said, you and Desmond have a child? Two days ago. Marissa Springer? Yes. What?
Crissle West
So then y' all didn't just meet in the club and.
Kid Fury
Okay, see, see, I'm so confused.
Crissle West
I didn't look into it because I don't care. I actually haven't commented on it because I don't want the algorithm to give me more information about these people. But if they have a kid, then y' all definitely didn't just meet in the club that night and get drunk and.
Kid Fury
Hold on, let me listen to this one.
Crissle West
This will make sense. The girl. I love being a girl. No offense to the transgenders.
Kid Fury
Oh, I guess people were saying she's trans.
Crissle West
Gay as an insult. I thought that was something we don't do in 2026. I did not call TMZ on myself. All the information that was released about me is public information, and it's listed on my Instagram. They reached out to me the day, which is when I told them that I did not know who he was prior and that we had barely met that night. I'm pretty sure when you guys meet someone at a club, you don't interrogate them about who or what their social media status is. We were obviously many drinks in the vibes were.
Kid Fury
I'm so confused. Marissa, what the fuck are you talking about?
Crissle West
I think somebody must have copy and pasted a caption or something, because even Desmond in this statement says, you know, Christy's the mother of my children. That'll always come first. I'm going to be a great dad, blah, blah, blah. So is something about that sounds weird or maybe somebody else? I don't. I don't know what happened, but this girl, this Marissa, Girl does not. She even says she don't have no kids. So in this statement that I'm reading right here.
Kid Fury
So I don't know, maybe Marissa Springer is not the girl.
Crissle West
Uh, no, no. I'm looking on Us Weekly, and it does say Marissa Springer, but it also says.
Kid Fury
You know what? I don't think.
Crissle West
That'S what I'm telling you now. I'm too deep in people's business that I don't care about. I don't know.
Kid Fury
The only reason I was digging is because I'm genuinely confused about those two things that don't make sense. They're conflicting statements. How are you saying that you didn't know who he was? You weren't interrogating him about Instagram. You just met him and da, da, da. And then someone is in your caption asking if y' all have a kid together, and you say yes on the caption where?
Crissle West
On TikTok Instagram.
Kid Fury
On her TikTok.
Crissle West
On her TikTok. Okay, I haven't seen her. Is this Marissa Springer? Yeah.
Kid Fury
Yes.
Crissle West
I don't think that's real.
Kid Fury
I mean, I don't think she has a kid with him either, but I don't understand how this is in her caption.
Crissle West
I don't think that's her real TikTok. Why would it only have five videos on it?
Kid Fury
Oh, yeah, you're wrong. I mean, I am wrong.
Crissle West
Yeah. I don't think that's real. I think people are.
Kid Fury
This one has two Rs on it.
Crissle West
This is what I'm saying. I don't. I genuinely don't know.
Kid Fury
But when he says other pages, Shadow. I don't care no more.
Crissle West
There's something.
Kid Fury
I don't care no more.
Crissle West
I don't know this Marissa. I don't know what she does. But Christy and Desmond, they're Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses or something. And I think the story was that he wanted to get a divorce, but under their Jehovah's Witness law or whatever, they couldn't without somebody breaking their marriage vows, I think. And she didn't want to file something like that. I don't know the rules. So he was like, I have to go out here and cheat so that we can get a divorce. Like, oh, okay, whatever y' all say. I mean, I'm sorry for the kids. I hope everybody can act like an adult in the situation and do what's best for those children.
Kid Fury
But let's talk about Alondra.
Crissle West
Just anything, beautiful girl. Anything but Nick. Anything but Nick.
Kid Fury
Yes.
Crissle West
Somebody screenshot a post from Twitter where Alondra was at. Fuck, she's been all over the place lately. She was at the Bridgerton thing. She was at the Golden Globes. It was the Golden Globes, baby, when I tell you. First of all, I knew that girl was a star on love. I actually thought she and Shelly were gonna be storming everything together. It's a damn shame how that worked out. But I saw it was this post that said it was a picture of Alondra looking like God personally handcrafted her and then just dropped her onto the carpet. And the caption was, it is very important that you allow people to hate you into greatness. And I just said, you know what? Let me. Let me save that.
Kid Fury
Well, wait.
Crissle West
God damn. What an incredible point to make. And what. I mean, when I say beautiful girl.
Kid Fury
And just no, she's genuinely, like, striking. I cannot take, like, walk into any room. And it is like, who is that? She is so fine.
Crissle West
Yeah. Every single time.
Kid Fury
Okay. I feel so much better about wasting all that time about them two light skinned niggas that I have never heard of.
Crissle West
Yeah, no, they. They don't matter. Alondra and these looks that all like, they. Whoever is working with her, I have not seen one single miss on all these carpets. She has looked incredible.
Kid Fury
So I don't think she could. I don't think they could make her miss.
Crissle West
I mean, right, you would have to try really hard to make her look bad. Like, she. She wakes up looking better than most of us will on our best day, but just. Just an incredibly beautiful girl.
Kid Fury
So for the licensed woman who's getting divorced and sounds like, you know, you've been living with a nightmare, so my heart does go out to you in that regard, wherever you are, because I don't know where the fuck you live. All right, that's it for the hot tops this week. Let us go ahead and take a break, and then we'll come back and read your letters.
Crissle West

Crissle West
Yes, it is. Send your questions to askthereadmail.com we may read them aloud on the show. Our first letter this week. Oh, we actually have a short one here from CJ who says, I'm assuming Fury will know because he watches more streamers.
Kid Fury
Depends on who.
Crissle West
Okay, have you watched ishowspeed? Do you know what that is?
Kid Fury
Not on purpose. Okay, yes, I know. I know who he is. He's probably one of the biggest streamers, period. He might be the biggest streamer.
Crissle West
Oh, work. Okay. Because this says, have you watched ishowspe speed tour the African continent yet? And I was like, I don't understand the sentence.
Kid Fury
Okay, I've seen some clips out there dancing with them and stuff.
Crissle West
Okay. So he was asking, this person was asking about, like, if you had a favorite or whatever. It sounds like you're not that deep into it to know, like a favorite streamer or a favorite of whichever, because I think he's going around the continent.
Kid Fury
So it was like, oh, no, I don't really know much about what he's doing out there. I. I did hear that he was out there trying to, you know, get into his ancestry and culture and stuff. And I saw some. And he's known to do like, aggressively energetic content where he's just like a can of red.
Crissle West
Got you. Okay. Wow. He came right?
Kid Fury
Yeah.
Crissle West
Once again, somebody's incredibly famous and I'm like, who?
Kid Fury
Yeah.
Crissle West
Oh, I'm 80. Oh, I'm chopped in a monk.
Kid Fury
I saw a clip of something.
Crissle West
Today's his birthday. He's 21 today.
Kid Fury
Incredibly rich. Like, he's. He's, like, richer than most rappers.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
Like, he is very rich. But, yeah, I only saw the clip of him out there.
Crissle West
Oh, he's from Ohio.
Kid Fury
Country he was in. I don't remember what country he was in, but he was out there with some native dancers, and he was dancing with them and the Lord. He was having a good time. I didn't say anything overtly offensive in the clip.
Crissle West
Okay.
Kid Fury
I don't know what else is going out there, going on out there.
Crissle West
Okay, well, you know, thank you for letting Aidi know about somebody new. That sounds like maybe I should check out, see what they have going on. I'm not really tapped into the streamer community like I should be, but again.
Kid Fury
Oh, my God.
Crissle West
Aging. Yeah, that's.
Kid Fury
Oh, I forgot to talk about Jada and Ari Fletcher. I mean, but there isn't really much to talk about. Ari Fletcher, Lil Baby's baby mama, and Moneybag Yo's girlfriend, Lil Baby. Oh, oh, Jada Waiter and say, Ari Fletcher has been cheating with Lil Baby, which is Jada's baby father baby. And then Ari was like, I'm going live on Twitch for the first time, so come check it out. So everybody thought that she was gonna go on Twitch and respond to it. She was getting her hair done.
Crissle West
Yeah, yeah.
Kid Fury
So everybody was her chat, posting tomato emojis.
Crissle West
Gotcha.
Kid Fury
And harassing her to address the claims. Anyway, all that to say, I think Blueface just started a Twitch account. Like, they all trying to hit a lick now. So that's rough.
Crissle West
All right.
Kid Fury
You gotta introduce to one of these people.
Crissle West
You said, Ari Fletcher, and my brain heard Ari Fleischer, who used to be White House press secretary in the Bush administration. So a very different person. I was so confused, but okay, let's move on then, to a different question. This one's from Nick, who says, hi, Kevir and Crystal, I'm writing you from Australia, where I live as an immigrant on a temporary work visa. Last year, I finally met the requirements to apply for a permanent residency visa. But before I could be invited to apply, I tested positive for HIV in December. This would disqualify me from most skilled migrant visas. And after speaking to a migration lawyer, I was told I would have to find a sponsor or partner or apply for protection, both of which are very hard on their own and. And will be Further complicated by my health condition. I'm really blaming myself and I feel like this is all my fault. I was irresponsible and could have been safer, but I don't know why I couldn't just pull myself together. I've been spiraling for weeks and have dealt with feelings of loneliness ever since I moved here. I was using Grindr to cope, but that's really not an excuse. I don't know why I did what I did. I was given a prescription for prep and procrastinating. Going down to the pharmacy to get it filled. That was all I needed to do to avoid all of this. My mom worked hard to bring me here and I feel like I've ruined everything. How can I make peace with this situation so I can focus on finding a solution? I only have this year to try and figure something out. Thanks for all you do. Love, Nick. I did not know that HIV status could keep you from getting a visa.
Kid Fury
I was gonna say the exact same thing. And I think that is absolutely absurd.
Crissle West
What? That is the crazy.
Kid Fury
What does that have to do with that?
Crissle West
Right? What. I don't know if that's just an Australia thing or if other countries do that. If the.
Kid Fury
It can't be everywhere.
Crissle West
I don't know. I would. My first thought is to reach out to community. Like local gay community help centers, whatever those might be in Australia to see like, whatever Yalls Glad or P Flag is reaching out to them to see what they can do. But Vi, the idea that simply testing positive for HIV means you might not be able to get a permanent visa seems so insane to me.
Kid Fury
Like, I don't get that at all.
Crissle West
Why so wild HIV can be managed. I don't understand. Like, this is so strange. Why do.
Kid Fury
Ages ago they were saying it is not a death sentence. You live a completely full life. Like, I just don't understand. I don't understand. But I. I don't even know how that relates to Ibiza.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
That aside. And the ridiculousness.
Crissle West
Yes. Cause I just.
Kid Fury
I agree. Insane with Krystal. My main thought was that I think you should definitely look into a local gay and trans health center. Trans health centers for trans people are often specific to them, which I respect. But some just kind of COVID all the liga big a digga.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
So I would definitely go down there for nothing if. Nothing if or nothing but a referral or sometimes even in house counseling. Because a lot of those people can help you get into either group therapy, counseling, or something like that to help alleve this feeling of loneliness. And blame that you're placing on yourself because it is. You're really doing a disservice to yourself by beating yourself up for this. All of the, I could have done this, I should have done this, and so on and so forth. It's like we all could have done a lot of things to stop blank from happening. This isn't something that, that should. This is not something that is going to prevent you from having peace, love, laughs, or any of those things. Is it a rough patch to get through mentally, socially? And so far, I've always imagined it is. I like, what else can it, you know, But I'm hearing a lot of self destructive sentiment in this letter and it, it's not that even. It's not necessary. It's just, It's not healing, you know, it's just kind of you staring at this wound and being like, well, I shouldn't have fell on that knife or whatever. Like there, if anything, know that there are a lot of people who have been in your shoes and are ready and willing and passionate about being able to commune with you and inspire you and let you know that you're not alone.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
So, you know, take a breath and I'm really getting back into how fierce journaling is. And I just want it like, baby, it doesn't have to be Toni Morrison. Like, girl, maybe a paragraph in the morning.
Crissle West
Just. It won't be Ms. Toni. I'll tell you right now.
Kid Fury
Of course it won't.
Crissle West
Whatever I churn out in these journals.
Kid Fury
My channel, that's never like, that's not happening. She's not gonna have it. But I can get thoughts out and as I'm doing it, sometimes even have revelations. But I definitely think that you should look into therapy. And I think you should start by looking towards gay, queer, lesbian centers and organizations because they are ready and willing to reach out and love all over you, babe. Yes, you're gonna be. You're going to be all right. This is not something to blame yourself for. It's never nobody's fault. Yeah.
Crissle West
Yeah. And to add on to the, you know, it sounds like you're having a hard time forgiving yourself because you like, damn, if I had just done this or this or this. We, and that's very common when we feel like, damn, I'm in a pickle that I put myself in, or I could have avoided that. But it sounds like you're not, you're not, like, I should have done that. In the future, I'll do this. Let me forgive myself. Have some Compassion for myself and move on. You're beating your own ass behind it.
Kid Fury
Yes.
Crissle West
And that's when it really turns into a problem. Because every time you bring it up and then cut yourself out and degrade yourself and make yourself feel bad, you're not moving on, you're dwelling in the hurt. And that keeps you from being able to find something more productive to do with your time. Like literally anything other than dragging yourself.
Kid Fury
Yes. Is it like you're putting on boxing gloves and punching yourself in the head?
Crissle West
It says you have this. You said you have this year to figure something out. Is it possible you can start HIV treatment and be undetectable so that when you get tested again, it doesn't even show up and then it's not a problem for your work visa? I don't know. I'm just spitballing.
Kid Fury
I do not know.
Crissle West
That's the sort of thing that you don't even start to think about when you're so busy blaming yourself and being mean to yourself for doing something that you didn't mean to do. You don't even allow yourself to imagine beyond that. So, you know, again, reach out to the, the local organizations, immigration attorneys, people who work with the Alphabet mafia and see what they have to say. You're certainly not the only person in Australia with HIV on a temporary work visa.
Kid Fury
So girl. And online, there are lots of forums, there are a lot of articles, there are a lot of pages that you can read as well that can help you with, maybe even just like putting some context together and hopefully motivating. Motivating you. But yeah, like Crystal said, you gotta stop beating yourself up over this because it's actually keeping you from being active in things that can help you feel better.
Crissle West
Yeah, because shame is not really an effective long term motivator. And it sounds like you are really stuck in that part of shame where is, it's just beating your ass. And you're going to have to make a conscious effort to say, okay, yes, I did this. I don't love that I did it, but I did do it. I have compassion for who I was. I moved here, I was lonely, I was struggling, I reached out for companionship. That's human. I did some human things. But it does not mean the world is over. It does not mean my life is over. I can, I can move on, learn from this growing, etc.
Kid Fury
Etc.
Crissle West
So we are wishing you the absolute best of luck, babes. Please let us know how it goes. And again, I just cannot even believe that is, I mean, I'm sure the United States does something just as bad, if not worse, but probably worse. What the fuck, man? That is so weird.
Kid Fury
What?
Crissle West
Y' all really okay. All right. It's just all right.
Kid Fury
Because let me tell you something about South Florida, baby. You better pass that motherfucking paper bag test at the coast or turn your ass around, bitch.
Crissle West
Around. Because the Cuban's not having it, Boy. The Cubans are not having it. How dare you, girl.
Kid Fury
Baby, I was just talking about them yesterday.
Crissle West
I just saw a news story from one who was. It was one of those, oh, you know, I'm Cuban American, so we're Republican, and most of the people I know voted for Trump and now blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kid Fury
I'm glad they saying it with their chest now.
Crissle West
Yeah, y' all know, y' all know. Okay, our next letter comes from tj, who says, hey, Crystal and Kif. Recently, I've had enough with my drinking and drug use and decided to go into sober living. Yay. Congrats.
Kid Fury
God bless you.
Crissle West
We'll get there.
Kid Fury
Those are such wavering response.
Crissle West
Completely different responses, baby. Cause I'm like, oh, good for you. Let me tell you what I'm not gonna do.
Kid Fury
But that's not helpful.
Crissle West
That's not helpful.
Kid Fury
Yeah, it is.
Crissle West
Okay. I've struggled for years, but a few weeks ago, I woke up sicker than ever. And I had really disappointed my best friend, who I was staying with at the time. I found a place last week and was really excited to start this new chapter of my life. I knew that I would have to share a room, and I was fine with that. I arrived yesterday during the day and noticed my roommate's hygiene items were similar to mine and his side of the room was tidy. So I figured that was a good sign and we'd probably have things in common. Everybody except the house manager was gone. I left for work at 5pm and returned around 11:30. When I finally met my roommate last night, I was shocked to see that we are very different indeed. He came into the room wearing a MAGA hat.
Kid Fury
Oh, boy.
Crissle West
I'm 35, queer and proudly black. He's old and white with a cockeye. I'm Southern. Y' all are just. You need to know this nigga got a preference.
Kid Fury
Yeah.
Crissle West
Yeah. Oh, my God.
Kid Fury
Okay. That one actually almost took me out like that. I didn't. Okay.
Crissle West
Woo.
Kid Fury
Descriptive.
Crissle West
Yes.
Kid Fury
Yes, ma'.
Crissle West
Am. Okay, I'm Southern, so I did speak, but that was it. He was polite, but after I saw that hat, I was immediately Turned off. I texted my best friend Pix and he asked me if I needed to be picked up. That's my dog. But I told him I wanted to stick it out because I desperately want to change my life today, though I do not know if I can do it. What should I do?
Kid Fury
And that kind of challenging environment.
Crissle West
Swear you on. On day one.
Kid Fury
Damn.
Crissle West
I'm not sure if switching rooms is possible because the house is full. I'm in a state where it's hard to find different sober living options. Our schedules are opposites, thankfully, because he works days and I work nights, but the energy alone makes me sick. I hate that orange bitch and what he's doing to my people and this country. Knowing that my roommate supports him, no matter how polite he may seem to be, has me considering whether it's worth it to stay here in sober living. And any advice would be greatly appreciated. All my best, TJ Deadweiler.
Kid Fury
Great name. Yeah, great. Great name.
Crissle West
Oh, tj. I.
Kid Fury
Unfortunately, tj first of all, thank you.
Crissle West
That would have sent me. That would have sent me straight to the nips. That nigga in a MAGA hat would have sent me straight to the nips inside. I don't. I actually am shocked he's allowed to wear that in sober living. I don't know why that surprises me. I'm shocked they even let him put that on.
Kid Fury
What? You're wearing the house inside and why are you wearing the hat in. In the inside.
Crissle West
And you. This is a sober living space. Like, why?
Kid Fury
And you're so. You're making a statement. Right?
Crissle West
Right. And I'm just so confused. Why are you. Why is that here? Just so confused by that. But okay.
Kid Fury
So anyway, what should tj I would definitely be looking for the quickest, healthiest exit. I would have absolutely no intention in sharing a space with this Republican cockey. I just wouldn't. No matter how polite he is, I could not be Sherry willingly sharing a space with him and even allowing this bitch to think that I'm okay with sharing the space with him, knowing that he hate me. He hate everything I stand for, everything that I am and everybody in my community. I just wouldn't be able to do it. So I would try to weigh out my options here of getting the fuck and then I would pick the best one. Now, if you do not have the option, I think that I would probably. Especially since he said that they have like, basically, like opposite shifts, so that would probably help. Yeah, I think that I would just. If I can't leave or leaving is not Really a viable option. I think I would just try to coast, keep my cool.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
Make sure that my boundaries, however, whether I vocalize them or not, I'm making sure my boundaries are clear. And once anything seems askew, if that bitch turn on Fox in front of me, oh no. I'mma be like, okay, so listen, we not doing that. Up.
Crissle West
Not up. The fuck.
Kid Fury
We need to just have a conversation about respect. I'm not even gonna argue with you about that Tangerine fuck, nigga. But what we're gonna do is we're gonna respect each other. So let's come up with rules. I'll even write em on paper. Let's just do it the old school way since, you know.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
But yeah, I would either be trying to get out of there aseptually or I would be very clear with my boundaries and hope that he would respect them. Knowing maga. Especially the ones that wear hats. Unne. Necessarily. Yeah, I highly doubt that that conversation will end well.
Crissle West
Right. Same, same. I. I hope it doesn't get to that point. I mean, it is a sober living space. I would hope that everybody there is doing their best to be respectful of all people, considering we all have substance abuse issues here. So like.
Kid Fury
Right.
Crissle West
We're all here to try to like clean up our act, get our shit together, you know, be happier, healthier. Right. Right. A maga hat is a direct threat to my sobriety. That's what I would say to whoever the social workers that run that place work. This is a threat to my sobriety. I am kindly requesting TJ do that. I am kindly requesting a roommate swap. There has to be some other maga ish white man somewhere in that house. Like somebody, somebody like I would really try. But if like Kia Fury said, if that isn't an option. You said there's not many sober living places in your state, that sort of thing. So if it's like, yeah, you do kind of have to deal with J.D. vance until we can find somewhere else for you to go, then take full advantage of the fact that y' all have separate schedules.
Kid Fury
Yeah.
Crissle West
Maximize your time when he's not there. Like just really lean into that. I mean that honestly feels like the universe, God, whoever you believe in, giving you a small gift of like, okay, you and sober living. We did have to put a maga nigga in your room, but you don't have the same schedule. And hopefully you really don't have to see this bitch all that much. Headphones go a long way. Noise canceling headphones. You can all and A little baby pretending you're in a tent. Like a little blanket for it on the bed. Back to me. You are eight, okay?
Kid Fury
Baby headphones, miracle workers. God's gift of noise canceling.
Crissle West
You'd be like, other people are other people even in the stratosphere with me. What are you doing?
Kid Fury
I'm on the spider by myself. Otherwise, I don't know what I am. Legend. Who else? Who else is even here?
Crissle West
Yes. It's literally just me and my dog and there's nobody else on this planet. So, yes, I would be. I don't want you to take our jokes as, oh, yeah, let me go get something to drink, please don't like. I want you to stay sober. And, you know, I'm regretting that I said that thing about the nips. It's just a MAGA hat. My God. What? That would really fuck me up.
Kid Fury
I think the idea of going to someone and saying this is a threat to my sobriety or, you know, whatever. Like, I think that that could. At the very least, someone would be surprised if they're like, well, we can't force them to take a photo.
Crissle West
You know what I mean? Right, right.
Kid Fury
But they have to acknowledge that the hat is antagonizing to people.
Crissle West
Right?
Kid Fury
And I would guess with it being a sober living space, they'll do something about it. I would hope.
Crissle West
I would hope so.
Kid Fury
They'll do something about it that they.
Crissle West
Either, you know, turn it into a. No political messages or political paraphernalia, or there's some sort of support on site therapists or clinical social workers or something like that where you can come talk about how irritating it is that you're trying to get sober and there's a magademon in your same room, like somebody who can help you work through those feelings. Because it's MAGA assholes on the outside too, of course.
Kid Fury
And so I cannot imagine if I was like, okay, I gotta move into this place or whatever, because I'm trying to get sober and it is a struggle. And day one, right, I'm pissed.
Crissle West
I'm pissed. I'm pissed. Especially because you're like, oh, we got the same Axe body spray. We got the same deodorant. You know, like, we could be cool, we might be friends and his side of the room is clean. I would have had high hopes. Damn. But yes, hopefully we've given you enough advice here to help you stay sober and stay the course. Yes, you do got this. And you and all the other sober people are doing such a. You are making such an incredible effort to better your lives that most people not doing. So truly pat yourself on the back for that. If you fell off the wagon, you can always get back on that bitch. Just try again. Never give up on yourself. And don't let this one asshole be what stands in the way between you and your healing and your happier life. So we are rooting for you, tj. Best of luck, babes. Let us know how things go. Let me know if that line works about the threat to your sobriety. Because they should take that. They might be like, oh, shit, now, hold on now. Maybe we got a room in the attic, something. Cause God damn.
Kid Fury
Okay, that's exactly what I would do.
Crissle West
We are going to wrap up the letters right there. Again, if you have a question for us, send it to asktheread gmail.com. we'll be right back. Hey, y', all, have you heard of this new Netflix series called his and Hers? So it's this mystery starring Tessa Thompson as Anna, a journalist in Atlanta, and John Bernthal as Detective Jack Harper. Now, when Anna catches wind of a murder in her sleepy little hometown, she jumps into the investigation. Detective Harper grows suspicious of her involvement. Girl, what you doing? Chasing her into the crosshairs of his case. Now, the closer they get to each other, the closer they get to the truth. Watch. His and hers now only on Netflix. Woo.
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. Cause 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. All right, folks, we are back. It is time for the read. I will start. I'm gonna just try and get this out if I even can. So the baddie children are currently talking about this affair on the latest season of the show with this white woman who continuously says nigga and acts like she should be permitted to do so. Cause no thanks. She wants to. I am disappointed to see the amount of black folks, specifically younger black folk, who not only don't have a problem with it, they are arguing in defense of this bitch and her desire to say the word. So I just want to point out a couple of.
Crissle West
Okay.
Kid Fury
Let'S go over just some of the dumbass excuses y' all are using for this idiot bitch and her behavior. Right? She's not white. She's Puerto Rican. Baby. If you will ask Chad, GPT and AI to dress up Ice Spice in a hello Kitty outfit with bigger feet on the moon, you can ask that motherfucker what the difference between your race, ethnicity, and nationality. I'm tons. I'm tired of talking about it. I mean, and y' all got AI explaining every goddamn thing and doing all your homework and painting your pictures, so I don't understand why you can't just go get them this.
Crissle West
Yes. They use it like Google.
Kid Fury
So use it for that. Yeah, like, she's not white. She's Puerto Rican. Do you know that there are black Puerto Rican people?
Crissle West
Did you. I mean, that doesn't.
Kid Fury
And she's not one of them, obviously.
Crissle West
Oh, right.
Kid Fury
What is she so right.
Crissle West
She's. That doesn't. Puerto Rican doesn't necessarily mean black. That doesn't make sense.
Kid Fury
Puerto Rican is her nationality.
Crissle West
This is. This is y' all fault for letting non blacks say nigga.
Kid Fury
This is exactly it. That's exactly what it is. She has black kids. Okay, well, then they can say nigga if they want to. Sometimes she can't.
Crissle West
That ain't nothing.
Kid Fury
And why are you giving this idiot bitch a pass say nigga? Because she gets fucked on by black men. These be the same black men that come and destroy you or attempt to destroy you, shit on you, judge you, criticize you, because these white bitches are at home perpetuating that shit. These bitches want to be you and simultaneously hate and talk shit about you and you jumping in front of buses for them.
Crissle West
All right?
Kid Fury
Oh, it's just a word. It's not that serious. Okay, well then don't say it.
Crissle West
Right?
Kid Fury
If it's just a word, then just don't say it. Y' all acting like we telling her, don't say the word. Me? Oh, you can't say the word the. It's a slur. Just don't fucking say it. It's not that hard. Oh, she's a product of her environment. I grew up right next to a bunch of messy ass Cuban people. Never used a slur for Latin people or Cuban immigrants or anything. Because I'm not an ignorant fucking dumbass. I grew up in a community with a lot of transgender women. And during that era, of my life. I really found myself years later, I think, on Twitter, I used the T word, which is a slang, a slur, not knowing it was a slur. And someone I just. Because I grew up hearing them say it all the time.
Crissle West
And they. Back then, that is what they called themselves and told us to call like. It was. It was the way I thought it.
Kid Fury
Was a shortened, cute way, literally.
Crissle West
And it was just the way we all talked. And things are very different now. And I respect that.
Kid Fury
Key word respect.
Crissle West
Okay. Okay.
Kid Fury
I respect that. The moment that that person on Twitter told me, please don't say that. That is a slur. Here goes some history behind why.
Crissle West
Period, Period.
Kid Fury
That's really is. And it's not hard to not say a word, especially a derogatory word that, you know, people don't like. The only reason this white bitch want to say nigga is because we say it. That's it. Well, that's it.
Crissle West
Yep.
Kid Fury
The only reason they do all, like, want to do the. These white motherfuckers will die or at the very least, get beat the fuck up because they want to say nigga. That is insane. You have slurs, Use them. And I'm just really nervous for some of y' all kids because, like, Unk is not gonna preach to you. You all you got. I'll be dust before I blink twice, bitch. And the world's gonna be yours. And whatever is left is your goddamn issue.
Crissle West
God damn.
Kid Fury
But I'm concerned that y' all are leaving all these gates wide open for these crackers that hate you.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
Furthermore, you not even talking about, like, Margot Robbie. It's not even, like, Meryl Streep. And both of them would get cussed out. Right? You talk about a bitch that literally look like olive oil and speaks like Iggy Azalea.
Crissle West
Nah, get me out of here.
Kid Fury
What do you want? Like, what is there to defend? She does it. She's not funny. She's not talented. There's nothing about her that anyone is discussing besides the fact that she says nigga and feels like she should be able to and keeps saying it. Not to mention the first time that she said this shit on camera, people trying to make it seem like everybody was just jumping on her and, you know, oh, yeah. Villainizing her, picking on her. The first time that she said it, it was in a room full of black girls. And one of them said to her, I know you're mad, but don't say that word. Cause there's a room full of black people in here, and we don't like that. Respectfully.
Crissle West
Yeah.
Kid Fury
Her response was, respectfully, I don't give a fuck.
Crissle West
Oh.
Kid Fury
Then she got jumped.
Crissle West
Copy.
Kid Fury
And still says it and seems to be confused.
Crissle West
Oh, she's dedicated.
Kid Fury
And there are black people on the show defending her. There are black people who watch the show who are defending her. Again, I'm from an era and a place where, you gotta think about this. My family are immigrants from a country that is mostly populated by black people.
Crissle West
Right.
Kid Fury
And they still, soon as I got here, was like, here's what white people are not gonna do in your face. Like, so I'm from an era where we beat, like, we packed bitches out behind this shit. And them same Cubans that I was mentioning before, first in line, dying to say the word nigga and feel like they could cause they Cuban, but at the same time, don't want to acknowledge Celia Cruz as black. So what's the truth?
Crissle West
Mm. Mm.
Kid Fury
Uh.
Crissle West
Oh, they got quiet.
Kid Fury
Oh, y'.
Crissle West
All.
Kid Fury
Let Anna say it. She's Latin and she could say it. Ana has Afro Latin. Like, she's an Afro Latina.
Crissle West
Oh, well, there you go.
Kid Fury
If that's confusing to you, look at Drake. If you didn't know who he was, if you. He wasn't a famous person, you just bumped into him at Kroger. You might think that nigga Brazilian, Puerto Rican, Colombian, whatever the fuck. Yeah, but you cool with. Until Kendrick said that we don't want to hear him say nigga no more. Because, you know, he's half black.
Crissle West
Yep. Yeah.
Kid Fury
So just because this person speaks Spanish don't mean that they don't also. Anyway, you know what, girls? I'll just leave this. I'll leave this here. Right? I understand that. I. Oh, girl, I picked out my first gray hair out my facial hair, like, last week, so it's time.
Crissle West
Menopause.
Kid Fury
Did you see that clip of Amy Poehler telling Jennifer Lawrence that she might have perimenopause? Cause she was giving.
Crissle West
Was so funny. Oh, Lord. Did Jennifer fall apart?
Kid Fury
Jennifer? She gagged, bitch.
Crissle West
I think she did.
Kid Fury
Jennifer. I don't know what they were talking about, but Jennifer kept scratching on the inside of her ear. And at one point, she was like, I'm sorry, I keep scratching my ear. That's probably gross. And Amy, without missing a beat, Amy says, you know what's funny? Itchy ears are a common side effect of perimenopause. So congratulations. And Jennifer, Laura's face was like, bitch, why would you.
Crissle West
Okay, what if I just have an ear infection, Amy? What if it's just.
Kid Fury
And Leslie Knope just was like, yep, congratulations. And went back to her. It was so funny. Oh, man. Anyway, all that to say. Unc is gonna let y' all about y' all business. I know that you're only gonna take this as far you want to. Cause you probably, you know, feel like, girl, this ain't got nothing to do with me.
Crissle West
That's what it does.
Kid Fury
But what I will say is that, and I'm speaking specifically to black people, if you are not bothered by it, that is your business. Do not police other people's other black people's feelings or emotions when it comes to this. You have to know that any white person going around saying nigga anywhere, it will eventually get they ass beat. You know that. If it don't bother you, fine, Fine. But you're going to shut your ass about it when it comes to me. Example, I don't care if lesbians say faggot.
Crissle West
Controversial. I don't know why. Because y' all love saying dyke.
Kid Fury
So I don't care if lesbians say faggot.
Crissle West
Really, I'm very careful.
Kid Fury
Cause y' all for my own reason.
Crissle West
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I just feel like, however, you know, we brothers and sisters, that's different. The straights can't say it. The straights can't say it. Dyke or Beck.
Kid Fury
Ellen DeGeneres also can't say it.
Crissle West
And Caitlyn Jenner can't either.
Kid Fury
Right?
Crissle West
You see you picking up what I'm putting down.
Kid Fury
Because when Kendrick said, we don't want to hear you say nigga no more. The keywords. There were no more. We discussed that. So, yeah, like I said, if you. If it don't bother you, it don't offend you. I'm not trying to force you to be bothered by it. I don't understand why it wouldn't at least, you know, give you pause. But if you cool with it, you cool with it. What you're not gonna do is get on my motherfucking face to say a fuck thing. If Kryzal was to call some gay boy faggot, and he said, hey, please don't say that to me. I don't like it. I'm not gonna say nothing. Because he's allowed himself that way.
Crissle West
Yes, he is.
Kid Fury
I mean, now, if he gets a little spicy, I might say, okay, bitch, stay focused. Cause not too much on this one. But I'm not gonna be like, oh, well, girl, she can say faggot. Cause she's a lesbian, right? You're allowed to Feel how you want to feel. So why the fuck are y' all bitches jumping out of bus windows for this ugly ass white bitch? Talking about she Puerto Rican, right? Any book. Just any book. Y' all don't even have to read them anymore. They'll read for you. You don't even have to read them anymore. You don't even have to read articles anymore. You just click play at the top of the goddamn article and the AI will read it for you. Yeah, but you want to worry about what Jada Jada weighed a baby father doing. Okay, I'm wishing you guys the best. Just know you can't say nigga in front of me with your white skin because I will go to jail. I don't care.
Crissle West
Yeah, yeah.
Kid Fury
You can't call me a nigga. You cannot say nigga to me and respond to my offense by saying you don't give a fuck right now. I gotta crack your shit right now. I gotta crack your shit. I'm not letting you outside feeling like shit. Sweet. Not me. So the rest of y', all, God bless. I mean, like I said, I'll be gone soon, so not so. You know.
Crissle West
Right? So in the grand scheme of things, it's tomorrow, right?
Kid Fury
I belt and I'm 40.
Crissle West
Oh, man.
Kid Fury
38. My therapist said, Girl, even when you hit 40, still be feeling like, shut up.
Crissle West
Right? Just pull it. Yeah, Okay. A few quick things from me, and then I'm gonna be out of here. First of all, the NFL for finding Aziz Al Shayer $11,593 because he broke their rule on personalizing his eye black. His eye. Oh, you know, the black stuff. They were under there.
Kid Fury
Yeah, yeah. So personalizing it how?
Crissle West
He wrote stop the genocide in white.
Kid Fury
You've got to be fucking kidding and.
Crissle West
So now, to be fair, look at us.
Kid Fury
Like his Instagram handle or something. Oh, no, of course it was.
Crissle West
He put a message in his eye black that said, stop the genocide. Of course, you know, niggas noticed he is Muslim. He has talked about Palestinian causes before. That is not new. The NFL does. They are strict about this rule. Like, a long time ago, they find d' Angelo Williams for writing Find the Cure in his eye black. That was just. Which was about breast cancer awareness. Yeah. They have fined players for wearing colors they're not supposed to wear. Even though if it's like. Like, I saw this article on espn. William Gay got fined for wearing purple cleats to show support for domestic awareness because his mother was killed when he was 7 years old by her Husband, his stepfather.
Kid Fury
So the cleats were purple.
Crissle West
So the cleats were purple. And they were like, you out of uniform. You're not authorized to wear purple cleats. And so you getting like. So the NFL is particular like that. And you could have put anything. You could have put Bluey Rock, and they would have fined you. They would have found you for that.
Kid Fury
I thought you were gonna say something like silly, not like, important.
Crissle West
No, they really do do that. But fuck y' all for this. Genuinely and sincerely, I don't care if it's your rule. Stop the genocide is a worthy message that needs to be put out there. That brother is simply expressing himself. Y' all wasn't gonna. Now, y' all paying attention now? Y' all listening? He probably knew in advance. I'm gonna get, you know, a 12,000 doll. This, and it's worth it, because when else am I going to have this big of a stage?
Kid Fury
Yeah, I agree.
Crissle West
Now, CJ Stroud, you should be included in this read because of them four turnovers in the first half. But I'mma let you go because I know. I know you are obnoxious right now. That Houston. You wasted that Houston defense. And, I mean, they really kept y' all in the game. Like, you really.
Kid Fury
Oh, my God.
Crissle West
Houston legit had a shot. Like, I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm sick. That game. I had to cut it off. I couldn't take it no more. But, so anyway, fuck the NFL for that. Number two, this.
Kid Fury
I watch football again. I just can't follow it.
Crissle West
Well, there's nothing left but the conference championship, division championships and the Super Bowl.
Kid Fury
No, I mean, I can't follow the game itself. What?
Crissle West
It goes so slow.
Kid Fury
Yeah, no, I mean, I don't mean, like, the speed of it. I just mean, like, the format and rules and, like, I get, like, the basics of football, but then there'll be, like, a flag or something like that. I'm like, okay, what the fuck just happened? Or something.
Crissle West
The flag is for pass interference or holding. Almost all the time, you just say, oh, pass interference. Oh, holding.
Kid Fury
On the defense, I could follow basketball incredibly easy. And the one I watch most is fighting.
Crissle West
Yeah, boxing. That tracks.
Kid Fury
It sure does.
Crissle West
Number two, this dick Dyke drama on TikTok.
Kid Fury
I. Oh, I only heard a scratch of this, and it was. I can't wait to hear what Krista has to say. That's it.
Crissle West
Well, so I didn't speak on. I didn't speak on it last week because I didn't want to come over here and be like, I barely know who those girls are. But it's true. I barely know who those girls are. Y' all used to tag me in their videos until finally I had to say, listen, I'm not attracted to people who wear weave and makeup. Y' all keep acting like these niggas are my type. They are not.
Kid Fury
I think you've made that clear.
Crissle West
Yes. These are. Ladies, please stop. Don't tag me in, you know, these pretty princesses videos. So I think y' all got the hint around then. But I was aware of, you know, kind of who they all are. So one of them. Easy. She did a video in a fat suit. She got fat prosthetics. She had, like, a fat face added and a very ridiculous belly. And all this with a T shirt on that said big girls matter. And she was making fun of Samira. If you'll remember, I brought Samira up a few months ago because she and Cardi B got into it, right? So Samira is a very vocal fat activist. She talks about things that are unfair for fat people. I guess Eazy thought this was funny. She made this video making fun of Samira and got dragged to hell and back for it. Like, niggas was on her ass immediately. Because, girl, first of all, it's not funny. Secondly, aesthetics, yes. Like, we're not. We're not still doing fat suits, baby. Like, we just aren't. Sorry, you're gonna have to find another way. Right? Literally. And I think she even said, oh, you know, I grew up watching Norbin the Nutty Professor. Like, we don't care, girl. We're not doing this.
Kid Fury
Those have not aged well.
Crissle West
And you don't see people being like, oh, yeah, you know, fat suits, that was really the height of comedy. We really hit our. We hit our comedy pinnacle with the fat suits. That was when we did our best work. Like, nobody says that shit.
Kid Fury
Nobody, really.
Crissle West
So, you know, it was. She got dragged, as she very much deserved. She ended up deleting the video. She's gone live a couple of times talking about, y' all are being mean and, oh, she don't mean. There's nothing but love in her heart.
Kid Fury
But after that.
Crissle West
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Very. And it's like.
Kid Fury
But what she did wasn't mean, child.
Crissle West
So when all this came up and TikTok was dragging her, they started bringing up some of her old videos. And this. That's when I was like, oh, this is just a dick dike. Because first of all, she one of them ones who's Engaged to a girl who was straight until she met her. And so it's like, okay, well, I already know what this is.
Kid Fury
That is always, you finna end.
Crissle West
Y' all finna bring a nigga into your relationship, and then six months later, you finna be single or whatever. Who knows? But she did a TikTok before where the caption was like, when you drunk with your homeboys or something. And it's her stumbling into a bathroom and looking herself in the mirror and be like, hey, them are your homeboys. You do not want to fuck them. You are not gonna suck no dick tonight. Blah, blah, blah, blah. And so all the comments are like, I swear to God, this is a you problem. And I. And I mean that with my whole body. I. I've been so drunk I could not keep my eyes open and still never was. I like, oh, I'm not go. I gotta really keep myself off some dick tonight. Like, you can just be bisexual. Okay? You can just be a bisexual mask presenting person, whatever else. But using the label stud is going to be a problem for the real studs, because, number one, stud means something. And that thing is black lesbian. It doesn't mean black queer. It doesn't mean black questioning. It doesn't mean black gay on the weekends. It means black lesbian and black masculine presenting lesbian on lesbian. Right? And number two, you going around acting like this only adds to a culture where men feel like it's appropriate to harass gay women or to try to convince them that it's girl. Yes. You're only hurting a group of people that you used to be a part of. Right. But you not a part of. Like, so then. But still, I was like, I don't know enough about this girl's social media presence to really talk about her. Y' all are beating her ass, so I'm gonna let y' all have it. Um, and then she did a live talking about. I don't. I. I actually did not even see this. People have quoted it, like, eight times to me, and I was like, fine, I will talk about it. But she said something about studs are not presented in the LGBT represented in LGBTQIA because there's no s. Like, there's no. It has its first.
Kid Fury
So she's not smart.
Crissle West
I'm like, please tell me she was joking, because the very first letter in LGBTQIA is lesbian, and that's what studs are. It's not. Those letters are not a collection of, like, presentations like we are. This is stud is one subsect of the lesbian Community.
Kid Fury
Maybe she'd be stands for let's gay bisexual.
Crissle West
Ns, et cetera, et cetera. I so you know, again, was never a fan of whatever her again. That whole people who do skits and stuff. And every video I've seen of her and her mask. Homegirl, I almost said stud. That's clearly wrong. Her masc homegirls is them like, oh, I can do both. Like, I can be a pretty princess and I can be a nigger and you know that sort of thing. So it's just never been for me. But when you step so far outside of what you know, like talk about being bisexual when you're drunk, talk about dating straight girls, don't this first trying to go toe to toe with Samira and act like you didn't even know who she was. Nigga, you legit copied one of her videos almost for like, don't act like you had never seen her, had never heard of her. You wasn't talking about her in the video. You did the things that she does. Like you were making fun of her by doing it. But like she goes into stores and asks the employees, like, are there plus sizes sold here? Or if there's a plus size section, where is it? Does this come in such and such size? Like she's genuinely asking because she needs clothing. You're going in into Walmart and harassing people who are looking at you probably like, they don't know what the they are even watching right now. Like, they don't even know what the is in front of them right now and being stupid because you thought niggas on the Internet was gonna laugh at it. So I suggest those of you who still are like, well, you know, I don't always agree with Samyra, but this is dumb. Or, you know, Samira gets on my nerves, but I don't appreciate that. I suggest y' all go read the books that Samyra keeps posting about and telling you niggas to read about if you want to learn about where she's coming from. Because the answers to the questions you have about why she advocates for plus sized people and why it's important and why it's necessary, they're right there in those books.
Kid Fury
Go read that. Why they don't like her just because she's a fat.
Crissle West
They don't like her because. Right. They don't like her because she's fat. And a fat activist. If she was skinny and a fat activist, it would be just fine. And oh my God. Yes, Queen. Exactly. Queen of inclusivity. Oh my God. Yes, she gets it. Everybody should be more like, you know, Blake Lively or whatever, if Blake Lively was out here saying these certain things. But because Samira has a body that y' all don't think is worthy, y' all talk terrible about her. When she is correct, you don't have to like it. But I have not seen one video of that girl actually being wrong. So please do go start with theory.
Kid Fury
That's what I was gonna ask. Like, why is this. This easy girl messing with her?
Crissle West
Because it's very easy, first of all. And. And she said that in one of her lives, she was like, the girl y' all said I'm talking about. It's weird that y' all are even mad at me now, because when I read her comments, it's a bunch of people being like, oh, here you go again. Shut your ass up. Not this again. Damn it. Gets to a point. Maybe God's trying to tell you something. Like, people are very mean to Samira in her comments.
Kid Fury
But so she was like, let me.
Crissle West
So she was like, yeah, let me do it too. Yeah, since everybody is. Since it's okay to be mean to Samyra, let me do it too. Go read Fearing the Black Body, the Racial Origins of Fat Phobia by Sabrina String. Start right there. Go find Samyra's TikTok. And I know y' all not. And this is what I love about Samyra. She does not bother to turn around and try to break things down on a 101 level to you niggas. Because if you genuinely wanted to learn, you would go read the goddamn resources she's given to you. You don't want to learn. You want to be mean on the Internet.
Kid Fury
It. That's the gospel truth. I would need to watch her so.
Crissle West
Easy could take her strap and herself right into the next dimension as far as I'm concerned. Weird ass.
Kid Fury
The next dimension.
Crissle West
Go somewhere, weird ass and your weird ass friends out of here. Oh, I don't even know what. Yeah, I mean, dick dyke to the fullest. Just 100%. And last but not least, this Brooklyn Beckham thing. I don't know too much about it. Child of Victoria and David Beckham. Okay, apparently the family versus Brooklyn Beckham has been a thing for a while. Right? I was also shocked. Apparently they are not on speaking terms. They haven't been for a while. He married a billionaire, Nicola Peltz. Her dad's, I don't know, an invest investment banker or something. But anyway, it's been drama between, you know, the Beckham family. Vers vs Brooklyn for a while. And Brooklyn put out a statement a couple of days ago. And one thing I noticed is that he and his wife have the same name as far as, like, middle and last names. Like, her name is Nicola Peltz Beckham. His name is now, at least on Instagram, Brooklyn Pelt Speckham. So I thought, that's interesting. It's rare to see a man do something like that, too. It's almost like he has really. He's making it clear that he has set up a new family with this person. And whatever you are talking about, none of his business. But. So Brooklyn got on Instagram, was like, yeah, I've been silent for years. I've tried to keep it private, but my parents and their team keep leaking in the press, talking about in the press. So let me just be clear. I don't want to reconcile with them. My wife is not controlling me. Her family is not controlling me. Yes, they're. You niggas are rich. You niggas are rich. So this back and forth about money, I don't really care. The what y' all don't know is that Posh Spice and David Beckham for decades have been making sure that the narrative about our family is very controlled and everything is performative. The shit y' all see and you know the cute little clips from the Netflix. Netflix documentary where it's like, oh, you know, I got picked up in a Rolls Royce or whatever, all those fun, cute little moments that you've seen from them over the years, all of that is very intentional. My mama weird. My daddy weird. They got involved with our wedding. They had her. His wife's wedding dress canceled or something. His mama was supposed to make it right. So he goes into detail of how, like, the night before the wedding, some people in his family told him that Nicola is not blood. She will never be family. This sort of thing, like, I'm marrying woman, mind you, that during the ceremony, his wife, his mama, got up there and hijacked the first dance and was dancing inappropriately, which now I'm just praying for the video for this to come out. Because, Posh, did you get up there during the first dance and twerk on your son or some shit? Like what? Speak.
Kid Fury
I'm like, I really need to know what inappropriately means. He said, I've never shed both of her breaths.
Crissle West
He said, I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.
Kid Fury
Life.
Crissle West
And that they are going to renew their vows so that they can have new memories of their wedding day because yes. Talking about how this. His family has done nothing but disrespect her and her people, that his mama was still calling his ex girlfriends and, like, having them come around and shit, like, trying to get him away from this girl is going on. So I feel like it's either, you know, you're either on the side where you believe David and Victorian. It's like, oh, this girl is evil and she's trying to take us away from our son and she's poisoning him and mind control and all this. Or you are maybe leaning towards believing Brooklyn and being like, they're threatened because they didn't think any of their kids, especially their sons. I don't know if they have any daughters, but I'm sure they never thought that their sons would marry into a family richer than their. And so damn. Any kind of control y'. All. Any kind of control y' all thought y' all could have. It's real money over here, babies. So, you know, of course, I don't know what's true, but I tend to be on the side of the young people being like, I don't talk to them people. I've tried so hard despite. And he even said, you know, despite years of this treatment, we still tried to show up for my dad's birthday, blah, blah, blah, blah. And all that sounds very consistent to me of adult children who are trying to have relationships with their family who, for whatever reason, is simply not working out. And so he said, you know, this narrative that my wife controlled me is completely backwards. I've been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety, and this is the first time that anxiety is actually gone. I wake up every morning grateful. I have peace and relief, and I don't want yalls life. That's all about the press and cameras and image and who thinks this and who says that. All I want is peace, privacy, and happiness for me and my family. So stop asking me about them niggas. We not cool, and we not finna be cool.
Kid Fury
And said, I'm happy.
Crissle West
I am happy.
Kid Fury
Ever since I never spoke to a dj, right?
Crissle West
So, again, I don't know what the truth is here. I err on the side of the youth. But the idea that Victoria and David couldn't have possibly done this because Spice Girls or because.
Kid Fury
Because soccer or because of football.
Crissle West
Yeah, it's like, well, I watched Victoria's documentary and that clip that went viral of him being like, tell the truth. Be honest about your family.
Kid Fury
Yeah, I forgot about that.
Crissle West
Y' all let little moments like that make you think that you know these people. And that's done on purpose. Those moments are curated and put out on purpose. That's why they make you feel connected to them. You see how this girl's family ain't never did no reality nothing they don't have to. That's real money over there. They don't have camera set up for what we got, Chip. My parents not entertainers. My mama don't have no job. Are you talking about.
Kid Fury
My mama ain't even listening to them late ass bitches. I actually just bought a Spice. A Spice Girls video game. Someone on Patreon told me there's a Spice Girls video game that came out on the first PlayStation. And I was like, what the fuck are you talking about? Looked it up on Amazon, it was $10. It just came in the mail yesterday. I am inclined to believe Brooklyn acknowledging I don't know any of these people. Right. Could be untrue simply because, as you said, Victoria Beckham and David Beckham have been incredibly showy and forced about the magnitude of their wealth and riches and all of the fancy things they have and almost presenting themselves like they are royalty. And I could understand that because David Beckham's one.
Crissle West
I'm sure they get treated like that. Right?
Kid Fury
Right. And so I would guess that they are probably have been probably really controlling, strict, possibly even manipulative when it comes to their kids. Because first of all, regular Degla parents are that way. But these parents are like image and we have to give met when we go to buy our biscuit. And you know what I mean? Like, I am a little bit more inclined to believe this kid who's like, these people have been really, really controlling, very brave, forced, all this bullshit was fake all my life. And I finally found peace and happiness because I set up boundaries and told them, stop talking to me.
Crissle West
Right?
Kid Fury
So I'm gonn the same thing. Stop. I'm happy. That is all that matters. I'm inclined to believe him.
Crissle West
I am too. But again, because none of us do know these people and none of us are there. That's why I'm saying for the rest of you who are like, I don't know, just don't let the fact that you used to perform Posh Spice songs with your friends in middle school, don't let that be the reason that to. To where you online now arguing with this man and being like, no, your mother's a. She would. You've never met that lady. She would ask you to take her coat and put it and. And bring her back her coat check ticket. If she met you, she would assume.
Kid Fury
You were the both of your eyes.
Crissle West
She would be like, oh, no. Hors d' oeufs me. Thanks. Just a club soda. Thanks.
Kid Fury
Her name was Posh Spice. Like, yeah, baby. I was sitting here playing this old ass place PlayStation 3 yesterday, hitting crosses and triangles, talking about color of the world. And then she could still get in the bin if she's terrorizing her child.
Crissle West
Right, right.
Kid Fury
Like it's just really that easy for me.
Crissle West
So let. Right. So let's just all remember that we don't. Because even I had a moment of not David and Victoria, like same privately. I had this moment of like not them. But then I. You know what? Why not them?
Kid Fury
Really?
Crissle West
It really could be.
Kid Fury
What makes that impossible?
Crissle West
It really could be anybody.
Kid Fury
She's a former pop star.
Crissle West
Right. Being rich don't mean that you are mature and you can just listen to the hot tops every week if you don't believe that because it's rich weirdos all over the place, baby. So just don't let your personal feelings about Posh specifically, but both of them. Don't let the. Oh, but I've been a big fan for so long. Don't let that cause you to go invalidate this man. Cause you again, you don't know these.
Kid Fury
N. So we don't know them.
Crissle West
You don't.
Kid Fury
And here you know who does? Brooklyn Beckham.
Crissle West
Their son.
Kid Fury
Yeah, their son.
Crissle West
Their son.
Kid Fury
I'm sorry. Brooklyn Peltz.
Crissle West
Beckham.
Kid Fury
Beckham, yes.
Crissle West
Work billionaire. Billionaire Peltz Beckham.
Kid Fury
I love the idea that they. Mary just can't stand this bitch.
Crissle West
Because I really think that's it. I think that is so fierce.
Kid Fury
And it's possible. Of course it's possible.
Crissle West
She not honored to be part of Yalls family. She don't have to go along with Yalls. Sweetie, I have been rich like my whole life. Every living day.
Kid Fury
I'm fine.
Crissle West
I'm young and gorgeous and extremely wealthy. No, I'm not getting into hair and makeup to shoot Yalls reality show. No, I'm not finna be. Anyway, wishing the best for everyone involved, no matter how that shakes out. But yeah. Just thought I would issue a little reminder for those of you like me who had a twinge of. Oh, no. Well, it's possible just.
Kid Fury
It is.
Crissle West
It is always possible. And we're gonna end it right there. That is gonna wrap up this week's episode of the Read. Follow us online at this is the Read. Crystal's couch.
Kid Fury
The brother is talking out now.
Crissle West
Oh, see? And that. Right. It really is Brooklyn versus everybody else family. Right. So. But I also don't know, Brooklyn might be the oldest. Them oldest.
Kid Fury
Yeah. I think he's the oldest. Yeah.
Crissle West
Them oldest be having a. Sometimes be having a completely different experience than the rest of them.
Kid Fury
But remember when you said he was like the younger ones get a different parent than the oldest one.
Crissle West
Yeah. Unfortunately, that really does happen.
Kid Fury
The youngest one said he woke up one day and Brooklyn just blocked everybody.
Crissle West
Damn. I don't wanna speculate, but there's so many.
Kid Fury
I don't either.
Crissle West
I don't, I really don't want to because these are famous people. But. And I don't know, I'm not nobody's therapist and I don't. I've never met not one of these girls crackers.
Kid Fury
So I just don't find it very hard to believe.
Crissle West
Right. It's not hard to believe.
Kid Fury
Her super famous family couple that has been famous for like over 20 years now and has a million PR people in NDAs. I wouldn't find that surprising that they could have been very controlling and.
Crissle West
Right.
Kid Fury
Did some emotional damage to the kids.
Crissle West
Would not be shocked every day. I mean it happened to with. With broke people. So why wouldn't it happen when rich being rich don't automatically make you a good parent. Hm. Where have I heard that before? Anyway, Chris Couch out now. Chrysalis couch.com for all episodes. Any news from you, Kid Fury before we leave?
Kid Fury
K.compatreon.com Kid Fury, if you would like more of me, if you want to come check out our playlist and for things to come. Yeah, that's where I'm gonna leave it for now.
Crissle West
All right, y' all take care of yourselves. We'll see you next week. Eczema is unpredictable, but you can flare less with ebglis, a once monthly treatment for moderate to severe eczema. After an initial four month or longer dosing phase, about four in 10 people taking Eblis achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks. And most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing. MGLIS Lebricizumab LBKZ, a 250mg injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies. Epglis can be used with or without top topical corticosteroids.
Kid Fury
Don't use if you're allergic to ebglis.
Crissle West
Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur.
Kid Fury
Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with Eglis before starting ebglis.
Crissle West
Tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Ask your doctor about eglis and visit ebgliss.lilly.com or call 1-800-lilyrx or 1-800-545-5979.
